Disclaimer and warnings: Go back for the first (or sixth) chapter to read disclaimer (and general warnings). As always, OOC-ness is a possibility, and yaoi is nowhere to be seen. Also, the last paragraph is pure angst; i felt that he had to blurt out those feelings somewhere in the story.

Seventh Chapter - There Is A Next Day

Ino appeared. "Where are the others?" Naruto has taken the other to the best place for ramen in Konoha; which must be Ichiraku. "Don't know for sure, they probably went to Naruto's favourite ramen stand." She shrugged. "Seriously, he should think about another thing other than ramen." She took a breath, and continued:

"If you two are worried about Sasuke-kun, he is okay now, but i want that you be more careful. The month that i spent to bring Sasuke-kun back wasn't full of happy moments, and i believe that his mind isn't exactly on the best state. I'm not sure if he is able to see much of these happenings without losing it. Sincerely, i have no idea how he managed to be sane after seeing his entire family die in the hands of his brother." You know, she is telling the truth; how come he withstood such a loss in his age? I think that he was able because he focused himself in a single goal.

"Erm... but i still need to go to hokage's home. Sasuke was going to take me there. Where is he?" Not to mention that Itachi (and Naruto) needs to meet hokage-sama to legalize his presence here. "Let him rest a little. He is fighting the seal now, so i'll take you two." Hmm, now that i remember, how he is dealing with the level two cursed seal? The counter-seal that Kakashi made is for the level one. "Seal?" Itachi asked. "Yes, A cursed seal. But as i said, he is okay. So don't worry." And with that, we walked (once again... man, this IS tiring) to outside. Kunoichi closed the shop, and lead us to my destination. After that, we parted ways (so i didn't see what Ino and Itachi spoke to hokage-sama).

Tsunade has quite a big house. For my surprise, i met Shizune, who showed me lots of things at hokage's home, such as various scrolls that depicted various stories of Konoha's culture, and Ton-ton (quite a interesting pig). After some time, Tsunade arrived, and we spent some time chatting. She explained some of this world that wasn't on the anime, and in turn i explained my world to her. Also, she told me that the Itachi problem was solved; each copy would stay at their original home (to avoid conflicts, Sasuke will spend those day on Ino's house). Later i'll ask Ino how she managed to convince hokage that Itachi came from another dimension.

The day ended peacefully. When i woke up in the next morning, i was at the same bed i slept yesterday; so it wasn't a dream, after all. Seems i'll spend a lot of time here. Past breakfast, hokage-sama dressed herself in the typical hokage robes, and said that she was going for a walk, before work. I decided to acconpany her, out of boredom. Her walk was interesting; remember Sarutobi's lessons that he gave to everyone? It was pretty much what Tsunade did. Except the fact that people, instead of paying attention to the lessons, looked at her big boobs. Being the first woman to be hokage must be hard work.

Later, we went to her working place. She assigned Naruto to tour me through the city, and he just had to accept. And so we walked (A/N: Aoi: Again! i just walk in this damn fic/ Archonn: Uh... can you fight/ Aoi: No... / Archonn: Can you do something out of normal/ Aoi: No... / Archonn: Interested in one of the girls of the Naruto cast/ Aoi: No... Forget it, i'm walking...) to the Hokage Monument. "Hey, did you knew?" It was too calm around Naruto. "What?" I had to ask.

"My other self is, uh..."
"Interested in Sasuke"
"Yeah! Isn't that strange? How can someone, aside his fangirls, like Sasuke-baka?"
"If you read fanfiction from my world, you would get amazed..."
"Eh? Fanfiction? What is that?"
"Forget it."
"Okay... But this isn't the strangest thing. It is impressive, he's totally different from me! In his world, he actually has a father and a mother! And guess who they are? The Ichiraku owners! Even if he is adopted."

Oh my... "He has that thing sealed inside him?" If he was adopted, it means he isn't hated. "He didn't even knew about it." This must be terrible to Naruto. It is as he was seeing his own face, if he wasn't so discriminated by everyone because of something that wasn't his fault. "When you met your other self, to where you two had gone?" I'm thinking about a certain reaction... "We went to Ichiraku. It was strange... He said that they were his parents in his world, but seeing them here was quite a shock, specially because they didn't know him." So that was how he reacted. "But he eats lot of ramen. This is always a good sign."

Finally, at the monument. Strange, there is no one sightseeing. Oh, there is no one near us, either. Wait, it seems as this place was abandoned; but it should be full of people. Naruto blinks. "Genjutsu? Yep, surely." Uh-oh. "Kyuubi. The genjutsu will leave us away from interference; I swear that i'll use full force against you! Katon, Housenka no jutsu!" Naruto takes me from the fire balls, and we discover the identity of our attacker...

Haruno Sakura...

Sincerely, i forgot to mention a thing... I cried... Non-stop... The pillow was soaked in tears. The pillow where i put my head, when came my first sleep here in Konoha. I couldn't hold it anymore... I feel alone, the possibility that everything i done was reduced to nothing... Dealing with such a large number of strangers... Acting strong, i never had to be that way before... Not being myself is such a pain... We all have to deal with reality, haven't we? So, i'll... just believe that i'm realizing a fan's dream and... yeah. The emptiness; what must i do?

End Chapter-----

A/N: Yay; other big (for my standards) chapter! Not to mention an awful lot of revelations, gaps to be filled with the side-fic (coming soon!) and ANGST! Okay, i'm not a fan of angst, but he needed to, seriously. Besides, expect more of it. And don't forget the reviews, for the said reasons (pointing errors, suggestions, etc...). Lastly, the next chapter explains the last part of the name "Three Dimensions", so stay tuned.
