Time Changes Everything
Day Before the Party
Naruto could only laugh and rub his head. "Well...it all started with my Gama-chan and Ero-sennin. Ero-sennin borrowed him, again, without asking and with off on his 'research', again, and left me to do chakra control exercises alone, again." Naruto paused and glared at his sensei who could only smile back at him and continued on. "When night came, I went looking for Ero-sennin and found him lying on the ground in the Red Light District drunk dead. And then I saw my precious Gama-chan. He was almost completely empty than from what he had previously been. The only thing I saw fit to do was kick Ero-sennin in the head and drag him back to out hotel room.
"WAIT! So THAT was why I had that big pump on my head when I woke up," Jiraiya questioned.
Naruto replied,"No, you fell out of bed. Remember?"
Jiraiya thought about it for a while. "You're right, I do remember falling out of bed."
"I know I'm right," Naruto said to Ero-sennin. "Now on with the story. After that night he did a complete 180 and actually trained me. When went from country to country, village to village, forest to forest, desert to desert, hot spring to hot spring, and never stayed in the same spot longer than a few weeks. And if we did, we only stayed for two months excluding some places. That happened for about a year and a half until we met Hikaru." Naruto looked at Hikaru which told him that it was his turn now.
"Well, it all started when I was walking home one day and got attacked by bandits. I could of handled them, but the magnificent duo over there had to interfere, so I let them handle everything."
"What do you mean interfered?" Naruto fumed. "It was 40 on 1 and we did all the work taking them out. You just sat in a tree and watched."
"I could of taken them if you two idiots hadn't interfered," Hikaru retorted.
"NO YOU COULDN'T!" Naruto yelled back at him.
"YES I COULD!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"YES!"
"NO! AND THAT IS FINAL!"
"Fine then," Naruto smirked,"I win then."
Hikaru was about ready to attack the blond until the Hokage intervened. "Would you PLEASE continue your report for some of us have to do." She glared at the pile of paper on her desk.
They both quieted down quickly and Hikaru continued on. "Yea, well after the bandit incident I thanked them and was on my way home again. The only strange thing was they kept following me, so I decided to lose them by running in circles trying to confuse them. That didn't work because when I got home, they were already there," Hikaru stopped and look at Jiraiya,"Your turn Ero-sennin."
"Don't call me Ero-sennin damn it. It's not like I call you two names," he cried out at the two.
"Yes you do Ero-sennin," Naruto answered. "You just called us evil brats a few mintues ago."
"That's different. You two are evil brats."
"And you are a pervert," Hikaru declared which Tsunade and Naruto could only agree with a nod.
"I'm not a pervert...I AM A SUPER PERVERT!" the pervert cried out laughing with a lecherous grin only to be thwacked in the head by a slap.
"Shut up and continue with the story Jiraiya before the I remove a certain body part of yours with excruciating pain and sadness that only you will feel," Tsunade warned her old teammate.
Jiraiya could only nod meekly and continued with the story. "Well, me and Naruto were traveling towards a hidden village near the border of Rain and Leaf. This village is home to a certain swordsman who I am unable to name. We met and talked and he agreed to teach Naruto swordsmanship on several conditions."
"And those conditions are..." Tusnaded inquired.
"Well," Jiraiya started,"I have no idea what they are actaully. The brat made it with him without me there."
Jiraiya and Tsunade both looked at the the blond. "OK, OK. Those conditions are..." He paused for dramatic effect. "classified information on a need to know basis only and only Tsunade Baa-chan will get to know, Ero-sennin."
"Damn you brat," Jiraiya moped, g;aring daggers at his student.
"Don't worry Ero-sennin, you will find out later," Hikaru tried to cheer him up.
"Yea, and it will be in the written report Tsunade Baa-chan," said Naruto.
"That's good. Now when will you announce your arrvial?"
"How about tomorrow?" Naruto inquried.
"Alright, tomorrow it is. All you have to do is show up at my house and everything will be ready."
"GREAT!" Naruto exclaimed with a lot of enthusasim. "Now if I could have to key to my apartment."
"Well, you see..," Tsunade tried to answer Naruto.
"Go on," Naruto encouraged her, wondering what happened to his apartment while he was gone.
"The bad news is that your apartment was burnt down by the villagers after you left. I am sorry to say, but your home is gone now."
"WHAT!" screamed a raging Naruto. "After all I did for them they burned my apartment down. Wait till I get my hands on them. They are going to wish I was the Demon whe---"
"Naruto," Tsunade interupted.
"What!"
"There is also good news."
"Like..."
"You get a new apartment and it has already been set up for you," Tsunade exclaimed twoards the blond.
"You mean I get a new apartment," Naruto looked dumbfounded. "OH RIGHT! Cmon Hikaru, let's go find it so we can actaully sleep on a bed now." Naruto grabbed Hikaru by the shoulder and was gone out the window.
"YOU STUPID BRAT! USE THE DOOR NEXT TIME!" Tsunade screamed bloody murder at the two. "Now, Jiraiya."
"Yes," replied the Sannin.
"I want you to tell me everything that happened and you better not leave anything out, OR ELSE!"
"Alrighty thing," the self-proclaimed Super Pervert answered nervously. "It all started when I took Naruto's Gama-chan..."

With Naruto and Hikaru
"You know you should of asked where the apartment was," Hikaru told Naruto as they walked around cluelessly
"Shut up," was his reply.
"You know I am right. Again, like always," Hikaru stated as they turned a corner.
"Shut u---," Naruto was interupted as he ran into somebody and was knocked down.
"NARUTO! Is that you?" that somebody asked.
Naruto looked up to see a man with gray hair, a mask covering most of his face, and the famous Icha Icha Paradise in his hand. "KAKASHI-SESEI! Look at you. You are still that same old, lazy, open-pervert sensei of mine. How things still stay the same during these couple years amazes me. So what are you doing?"
Kakashi looked a little irritated, but decided to humble his old student. "I was going out to buy some paint, but I accidentaly dropped it off the roof a building as I was returning to my house and now I am here to go buy more."
"But the store is the other direction, Kakashi-sensei," Naruto told him.
"I know," Kakashi smiled or from what you can tell under that mask..
"OK...Well I would like you to meet Subeta Hikaru," Naruto introduced the two. "Hikaru, Hatake Kakashi. Also known as Copy Ninja Kakashi,"
"Nice to meet you," Hikaru said to Kakashi. "Naruto has told me so much about you."
"He has, has he. So what did he tell you," Kakashi asked as he looked at a chuckling, nervous Naurto.
Before Hikaru could reply, Naruto interrupted. "Wow, look at the time. We best be going now Hikaru, we wouldn't want to be late now. Good to see you Kakashi-sensei, hope we can catch up next time," Naruto said as he pushed Hikaru along down the street before he could say anything.
"Why did you do that Naruto-kun," Hikaru complained. "I was about to tell him how great a sensei you thought he was."
"Just like the time you told Ero-sennin how great a sensei I thought he was," Naruto countered.
"What do you mean? He only chased you to the next village until you went through the Red Light District and lost him in the crowd of women."
"And I almost died because of that."
"Who cares. You are still alive, now let's go find some food. I'm starving."
"You are always hungry," Naruto pointed out as they walked along the street.
"So what. We NEED food."
"Fine, fine. ICHIRAKU RAMEN HERE WE COME!" Naruto yelled out and grabed Hikaru as he dashed of to the ramen stand.

Five Minutes Later
"AHHH..Ramen," Naruto smiled happily.
"Is that all you think about when eating?" Hikaru asked as he took a mouthful of the noodle.
"Ramen is the best food in the world. It's that simple," Naruto explained, starting on his fifth bowl.
"Only to you and name one person other than you who likes ramen almost as much as you do," Hikaru complained as he looked at his second bowl of ramen disdainly.
"IRUKA-SENSEI!" Naruto shouted excitedly.
"Who's that?"
"No, behind you," Naruto pointed out.
Hikaru turned around to look at who Naruto was talking about. What he saw was a man with brown hair tied up in a pony tail. He had a scar on his nose and wore the standard Konoha shinobi uniform. When Iruka saw who was calling him, he ran and said,"NARUTO! YOUR BACK," and gave him a crushing hug.
"Iruka-sensei," Naruto tried to say as he was being hugged to death. "I can't breathe."
Iruka let go and apologized. "Sorry Naruto, I got a little over excited."
"A little?" Naruto questioned, rasing an eyebrow
"OK, a lot. So who is your friend," he changed the subject.
It worked. "Iruka-sensei, this is Subeta Hikaru. We met while I was on my trainning trip. Hikaru, this is Umino Iruka. He is my favorite perverted teacher and one of my best friends."
"I am not a pervert," Iruka huffed at Naruto's comment about him.
"Sure you aren't," was his reply.
"So tell me, how have you been?" Iruka asked the blond boy in front of him, while ordering a bow of ramen for himself.
"It's been GREAT! I learned all these cool things, but Ero-sennin told me not to show off, so you can't see any of it yet," Naruto said, starting on his eighth bowl.
"That's good to hear. So have you heard about your new apartment yet?"
"Actually..." Naruto tried to answer his question, but was interrupted by Hikaru. "No we haven't because of this idiot wouldn't ask for directions first."
"I am not an idiot, you stupid-ass."
"What did you call me?" Hikaru inquired the blond.
"STUPID-ASS! Or are you going death now."
"At least I don't have ramen for brains," Hikaru retorted. Before Naruto could say anything, Iruka came in. "I would like to show you guys where it is, but I have a metting to get to. How about I just tell you were it is?"
Hikaru replied,"That would be great considering the lack of directions we have," as he stared at Naruto who had completely ignored them, who had almost finshed his tenth bowl already.
"What?" Naruto asked.

Somtime Later
"Finally, we are here," Naruto cheered happily as they reached the apartment.
"We would of been here sooner if you didn't had to of stuffed all the ramen in yourself." complained Naruto's companion.
"Who cares, we are here now," Naruto said as he stuck the key in and opened the door. What he saw was amazing. It was way better than his old apartment and cleaner too. The kitchen was right by the living room, only being cut off by a waist hight counter that acted as a wall. The living room was spacious with everthing there alreadly like the couch and TV. Running off of the living was a hallway where he guessed lead to the bedroom and bathroom.
"I call the bed," Hikaru cried out, running pass Naruto looking for the bedroom
"WHAT," Naruto screamed at Hikaru, while running after him. When he got to the bedroom, he saw Hikaru already lying comfortablely on the soft, warm bed. "This is my apartment and that means I get the bed, so get off."
"I am the guest here, so I should get the bed. You can have the couch," answered the brunette.
"Guest my ass. Don't make me come over there and kick you off," Naruto threatened.
"You wouldn't dare and anyways, I have this," he said, showing Naruto a picture.
'WHERE DID YOU GET THAT!" Naruto yelled, tired to grab it, only to fall face first onto the ground.
"I got it from Ero-sennin. He showed it to me once and I took it. Now if you try to make me get off this bed, then I will show everyone in this village this picture. Got it?" Hikaru spoke, telling Naruto what would happen with the photo.
"Yes, I do," Naruto sulked,"You evil bastard," as he got up and went to the living room through the small hallway.
"I heard that," Hikaru yelled to Naruto.
"All knowing sadistic ass," Naruto mumbled quitely, so Hikaru wouldn't hear all the way from the bedroom.
"I heard that too," Hikaru shouted again.
"HA!" Naruto yelled back. "Like you can hear me all the way over there."
"You just called me a all knowing sadistic ass just now," Hikaru shouted back.
Naruto had nothing to say to that, so he mumbled,"Stupid super hearing idiot who has nothing to do, but listen on what I say and is probably hearing me say this right now and is going to say he heard that too right at any momment now."
"I heard that too, now please just shut up."
"BASTARD," Naruto screamed full of fury and ran to attack Hikaru.
During the night, painful screams could be heard throughout Konoha.

Next Day
Jiraiya was looking for his student's new apartment. Tsunade had told him where it was, but he was having trouble looking for it. Well, he wouldn't of had trouble if he didn't get sidetracked by trying to flirt with a buxom brunette with the most amazing legs he had ever seen. That only resulted in him lying on the ground holding his precious jewels.
Standing up slowly, he looked at the surrounding buildings and then spotted Naruto's apartment complex, The Shinobi Suite. It was only 6 stories high and looked like it was still in good condition. "Well there it is. Now I wonder what room he is in," Jiraiya pondred to himself. "Oh well, I can look in every room to find him." A lecherous grin appeared on his face as he walked towards the entrance.
