Hello again! Third chapter done! Yay! Thanks for all the comments, they're greatly appreciated. I thought that I was spelling Sasuke wrong, thanks for the correction. This chapter is slightly longer as the storys developing further. Let me know if you like it, you get a bit of Naruto's point of view in this one. Enjoy!

Kakashi stared.

"Naruto?" he said again as he studied the boys face more closely. There was no recognition in those wide eyes.

Blue eyes fixed on Kakashi he slid off the bed.

"What happened? How was I hurt?" Naruto said from across the room. His hand was resting on his shrunken holster strapped to his thigh.

"I'm sorry Naruto, it was an accident." Kakashi said most unlike his usual calm self.

"What do you mean? Why were you waiting here, are you a teacher?" Naruto questioned suspiciously as he glared at the white haired jounin.

Now it was Kakashi's turn to stare.

"Naruto I'm your teacher." Kakashi said in disbelief as he stared at the boy.

"No your not! Master Iruka is my teacher." Naruto cried, point blank refusing Kakashi's answer, but as soon as the words had left his mouth he looked uncertain before continuing in a quiet voice no longer looking at Kakashi: "Well, he was my teacher…"

Naruto's features portrayed complete confusion as he stared off into space just past Kakashi.

"He doesn't remember…"

Making no sudden movements Kakashi walked over to the door and stuck his head out into the corridor. The nurse that had turned on the light was coming back up the corridor towards him. Upon seeing him she smiled.

"Excuse me, I need you to get the Hokage immediately, tell her it's to do with Naruto." Kakashi said clearly.

The nurse simply stared at Kakashi.

"This is very important, can you get her?" Kakashi said testily, the only sign of his anger was the narrowing of his eye.

"Yes, of course." She replied nodding instantly as she snapped back into life.

She quickly reeled off a number of hand seals before disappearing in a white cloud.

For a second Kakashi stared numbly as he wondered "Could she be a member of the ANBU?" it wasn't unheard of for them to have other professions, and the ability to heal was highly valued…

Turning back into the room he saw that Naruto had moved to the opposite side of the room to him so he stood by the window. He was watching Kakashi darkly with a look on his face that he wasn't sure he liked.

"What do you mean…her?" he said slowly. "What happened to the old man?"

Kakashi froze. Naruto had been very fond of the fourth Hokage but he didn't seem to remember that he was dead…

"What! What happened!" Naruto cried half shouting, half pleading.

The room was silent as the blond haired teen stood glaring furiously at Kakashi. The unpleasant silence stretched out.

Kakashi wasn't going to tell him, not when he didn't remember, it would just make the situation worse.

POOF

White cloud burst into being in the middle room in between Naruto and Kakashi, breaking their stare.

The cloud cleared as Tsunade stepped forward looking between Naruto and the jounin.

"What's the matter Kakashi?" she asked raising an eyebrow as she turned away from Naruto.

Barely louder then a whisper Kakashi said close to Tsunade's ear: "He doesn't seem to remember much. He thinks Iruka is still his sensei."

Receiving a startled look from Tsunade Kakashi looked away guiltily.

"Who are you people and what's going on! Where's old man Hokage!" Naruto almost shouted at Tsunade and Kakashi.

Kakashi had heard how stubborn Naruto had been towards Tsunade when she had accepted to be Hokage and he had the feeling that he was about to see a re-enactment of it for himself.

"I am the Hokage." Tsunade said impressively as she jabbed herself in the chest with her thumb.

"No your not." Naruto said strangely calm. "Where's the old man!"

Tsunade stared.

"Sandamine is dead. I am the fifth Hokage." She said blankly.

"No…no. I don't know what's going on but I don't believe you." Naruto growled.

Without warning Naruto sprang into motion, pushing the window open next to him before jumping out of it…into the flower bed that ran around the hospital walls. Without looking around Naruto disappeared as he leapt upwards.

Kakashi was about to move forwards when Tsunade stopped him by placing her hand on his shoulder.

"No. I want you to follow him but not yet. I want you to tell Iruka as well as any other teachers you cross that Naruto has sustained memory loss. I want him calmed down, which is why you must get Iruka as he will be a familiar face to him, and then bring him to my office. I think I know what has happened but I'm going to talk with the healers here first." Tsunade said as she removed her hand. Taking a step towards the door she paused turning to Kakashi once again. Over her shoulder she said:

"Only fight when you have to."

And with that she was gone.

"Your homework is to practise your stealth. Pair up and take it in turns to follow each other for as long as you can without being detected. Dismissed." Iruka called over the hubbub of scraping stools, rustling and general muttering.

Watching as his class streamed though the door, his attention was drawn to a figure standing just inside the door way.

"Kakashi! How are you?" Iruka asked smiling as he moved forward, the room now empty.

"Uh, I'm fine. Your teaching late aren't you?" Kakashi said as he unfolded his arms.

"There was an incident with a stink bomb and several shrunken. I'll leave it at that. They were all in detention." He said wearily.

"Unfortunately Iruka, I'm not here for a chat. Naruto has sustained memory loss. He still thinks that the 3rd is alive and that you're his teacher. He didn't recognise Tsunade or me." Kakashi paused to let this sink in. "The 5th asked me to gain your help along with as many other free teachers as possible to find Naruto."

"How did this happen?" Iruka asked with genuine concern.

"Everything will be explained later. Now we need get the other teachers who aren't on missions." Kakashi said emotionlessly but he felt his guilt rise in him once again at what he had done, though all the worse when he had seen Iruka's worried eyes.

"Alright, let's go. I think there's a couple of people still hanging around, I defiantly saw Gai."

Sighing Kakashi led the way out of the class room.

Under the inky sky a figure was lit by moonlight as it leapt from roof top to roof top. Pausing the figure turned to make sure it wasn't being followed, the silvery light revealing a mass of blond hair, a pair of gleaming blue eyes.

Distracted, Naruto ran his fingers through his hair as he stared vacantly.

Once he had got a distance from the hospital he had taken to walking through the streets. Even though it was after dark there were still plenty of people out and about though most were older ninjas. He couldn't help but notice the way their eyes lingered on his face. Was it his imagination or was he being watched?

They knew…

Gripping the front of his jacket, he'd dropped his eyes.

They knew about the Kyuubi…

Feeling uncomfortable Naruto had slipped down a darkened side ally. Checking that no one was watching he pressed his hands together before muttering 'Henge!'

Out of the white cloud stepped a girl with long blond hair, which was tied up in bunchies, with large blue eyes wearing a matching orange jacket and trousers with blue ninja sandals.

"At least no one will stare at me now…" Naruto thought darkly as he walked out of the ally into the well lit street.

How wrong he had been.

Walking along the street as this beautiful girl the suspicious staring had stopped to be replaced by a different type. He had the younger of the male ninjas (though all were far older then him) staring at him. He even got winked at by one!

Casting them a frightened look Naruto sped up when in front of him a man with long bushy white hair was thrown out into the street from what seemed to be a bar.

"I didn't mind the broken furniture, Jairiya, but I will not subject my waitresses to your company any longer!" came a shout from an unseen person in the bar doorway.

The door clicked shut as the white haired man stumbled upright.

Naruto kept walking forwards trying to ignore the man up ahead of him but found his way blocked.

Stopping Naruto looked up to find the white haired man looking down at him with a strange smile on his face. His cheeks were rosy and he smelt like a brewery.

"Have we met before?" the man said as he placed an arm around Naruto's shoulders.

"GET OFF ME PERVERT!" Naruto cried in disgust.

Ducking under the man's arm Naruto kicked out, hitting the white haired man in the jewels. With a groan he sank to his knees.

Naruto was about to storm away when the man called out to him.

"Wait…is that…Naruto?" he gasped.

Frozen to the spot Naruto looked over his shoulder at the man.

"Ha! It is! Just you wait 'til I get my hands on you!" he growled furiously.

Without saying a word Naruto ran, releasing the jitsu as he turned the corner.

After that he had simply stayed off the streets.

Who were these people? The guy with one eye, the woman who said she was Hokage, that perverted man with the white hair…he'd recognised Naruto even when he'd disguised himself with a jitsu.

What was going on? He felt so disorientated. Nothing made any sense.

"Yo." Said a voice behind him, snapping him out of his confused thoughts as though he had just been dowsed with a bucket of icy water.

Turning around slowly he knew what he'd see.

His white hair glossed by the silver moonlight, creating a dramatic silhouette. It was Mr. One eye…again.

Next to him stood someone he hadn't seen so far, a man dressed all in black wearing a bandana forehead protector and sunglasses even though it was dark.

Taking a step back he felt his eye twitch. If he didn't get some answers soon he didn't know what he would do.
