Chapter 2- "Choji's Secret Move: Truth or Not?"

"Who was that?" Naruto asked, later at dinner, "That kid who was calling you in the street."

Hinata set her bowl down. "His name is Akimichi Choji. He's our obnoxious neighbor, who always rambles on about being ninja."

Naruto thought; Hinata put down his bowl as she was setting the table. "Why'd he call me 'Uzumaki Naruto'? Why'd he know my name in the first place?" Naruto asked.

Hinata shrugged. "Seems you're in his world too." She tried.

"Didn't we used to play ninja games when we were young?" Naruto asked.

Hinata nodded, "They were fun, but they weren't real."

"You remember that one time, when I was playing around, and then there were tons of me? Lots of copies?" Naruto asked.

Hinata nodded, "But it's just a game. We stopped doing that in 2nd grade. Don't tell me he's getting to you too!"

Naruto shook his head, "No, don't you remember what the teacher said?" He asked; he cleared his throat to imitate the teacher's voice, "'Naruto! Get in this classroom! And take your clones with you!'"

Hinata laughed, "That's exactly what she sounded like. But you don't really think she meant it, do you. She knew about our game, I just assumed she was playing around."

"Maybe…" Naruto said.


Later, Naruto was shown to where he would sleep by Hinata's mother. "And this is where you'll sleep." She said.

Naruto nodded, "That's for letting me stay here."

Hinata's mother smiled, "It's no problem, really. Now sleep well, my husband will work you to the bone."


Naruto tried to sleep, but the bed looked a lot comfier than it actually was, so he had a hard time falling asleep. He also heard a tapping on his window; he couldn't tell what it was. This has to be better than living in the streets. He thought. Then he heard a smash over at the window. Naruto jumped out of bed and ran over to the window. The window had been smashed, and by a rock. He looked out the broken window. Choji stood next to a pile of rocks. "Sorry!" He yelled softly, "I ran out of pebbles!"

"Choji! What do you want?" Naruto asked.

"You need to come over to my house! You believe me, right?" Choji asked.

"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked.

"You have to believe me Naruto! I can even prove it to you!" Choji said. Oh yeah, the ninja thing again. Naruto thought. He put his hands together in what Naruto saw as some sort of symbol. Choji quickly changed his hands into different symbols. He was so fast; Naruto couldn't see what he was doing. He finally stopped on one symbol. "Multi-Size Jutsu" He quickly turned into what Naruto thought was a giant cannonball. "Woah!" He said.

"Okay, okay. I believe you, but what about me?" Naruto asked.

Choji shrugged, "I dunno. You'll have to talk to sensei about that!"

"Turn yourself back to normal before someone sees you! Listen, when I get the chance, I'll try and come over. But if this is some prank, then you're dead!" Naruto said.

Choji grinned. "Thanks Naruto. Now get some sleep! You'll have to have your chakra at maximum tomorrow!"

"Yeah, yeah! Now go to bed Choji!" Naruto said, walking away from the window.
