The scene starts with the trio of Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke walking down a street. Only their back is shown, Naruto has his hands behind his head.

'Let me guess. There are going to do something stupid.' Neji states. A couple people snort in response.

'It would make a lot of sense.' Shikamaru grins. The group in question only grumbles. They are not that stupid.

'Food is the best way!' Naruto says.

'It's not. I've tried. Multiple times.' Jiraiya says. The group turns to look at him. They didn't know Jiraiya and Kakashi used to be so close to each other. But it might have been because of the fourth Hokage.

'How?' Naruto asks. How could eating be done without taking of the mask. Kakashi smiles.

'Good timing.'

Sasuke replies. 'That has the highest probability…'

'But the problem is, how do we get Kakashi-Sensei to eat with us?' Sakura wonders out loud.

'I doubt he'll be able to turn down free food.' Shisui explains. He certainly couldn't.

'Who wouldn't.' Naruto shrugs. He wouldn't turn down free food either.

'All my food is free.' Sasuke says. Naruto glares at him. How dare he.

'That's because we're paying for it.' Fugaku explains to his son. Sasuke does have the decency to look a little sorry.

Behind a corner Lee turns around. 'This is bad. They're coming this way.' Then he, as well as Tenten, Neji, and Kakashi disappear in a plume of smoke. Just as the team is about to near the corner.

'Did Kakashi hire them? To keep his face hidden.' Iruka is surprised. He didn't think the man would go that far.

'Only Kakashi would go that far.' Jiraiya explains. He doubts it's because Kakashi doesn't want his face to be known. It's probably got to do with fooling around with people.

Kakashi only smiles.

Meanwhile somewhere else in the village a mysterious man is walking along. This man is rather plain, except for the two purply marks which stretch from his eyes down to his cheeks. He also has a mole on his chin. He's just walking along. When suddenly his eyes widen.

'Who's this weirdo?' Kiba asks. No one has an answer for him.

'I've never seen him before.' Naruto agrees. Several of the other kids agree as well. Even some of the other adults have trouble placing the guy.

'He looks stupid.' Sasuke states. Kakashi glares at the little kid. How dare he?

Gai is walking the same road. As they walk past each other a mysterious sound plays. And nothing else seems to happen. The mystery man takes a deep breath. He's glad that's over.

'Is this some sort of fated meeting. You know like in those manga you read.' Ino explains. 'It's like time stops for a moment and the two people both know something significant will happen between the two of them.'

'Wouldn't that be a bit of an exaggeration?' Tenten doesn't know what to think about that. Gai having a fated meeting? No way!

'Somehow… I think it's for comedic effect.' Sakura explains to the girl.

'Hey!' Gai says to the man. And the mysterious person turns around. It's clear that he didn't want this to happen. 'I'm sorry, but did you notice any kind of trouble going on around here?' Gai asks the man.

'What trouble?' Sasuke tilts his head to the side. He didn't see any trouble.

'Probably you kids and your varying stunts to peek beneath the mask.' Hiashi looks at the boy. Couldn't he have come up with that himself?

'Huh? No, there wasn't anything…' The man speaks. His voice is pretty high for a man but not extremely so.

Gai stares the man down. The man blinks a couple times and his eyes dart all over the place. Gai keeps staring.

'Something is up here.' Chouji narrows his eyes. He isn't blind to the hinting that's done in this scene. He doesn't get what it's for however.

'No shit.' Kiba yells. Even he could see it.

Naruto laughs. 'That guy is really bad at lying.' The other kids laugh as well.

Kakashi could only glare without revealing himself.

'Kakashi…' Gai starts. The man looks shocked. 'I heard him and his team were making a commotion all around town.' As Gai says this the man relaxes. 'Sorry for stopping you.'

'Ooh!' Shisui gasps. He's seen it and he could believe his eyes. He jots down notes immediately after.

'What is it?' Naruto asks. Is there something he missed? He probably did. He's good at missing things.

'I think I got it.' Shisui states. Itachi looks to his friend. A little disappointed that it took him this long. He knew as soon as he saw the man.

'Got what?' Sasuke doesn't get it either. But it looks like Itachi did so then he must be able to see it as well.

'You'll see.'

'No problem.' There is sweat on the man's face. He turns around and starts to leave. He closes his eyes and sighs.

'Hey.' Gai says once more. As the man turns around Gai is right up in his face. Again, this shocks the man.

'That's Gai. Always annoying.' Kakashi grumbles. He's had plenty experience with the man. But he's a good friend. He wouldn't be where he was now without him.

'Anyone with such a hairstyle is annoying.' Ino laughs. Why did they think that would be fashionable?

'Uh, can I help you?' the man asks.

'Don't I know you from somewhere?' Gai is still right in his face. Their noses are nearly touching.

'Oh. I see.' This time it's Iruka who speaks up. It seems he finally got the message as well. Shikamaru just thinks it's funny that he figured it out before his teacher.

'You get it too?' Jiraiya asks smiling. He too had managed to see it.

'Yup.' Iruka laughs. 'This is great.'

Kakashi is still smiling on his own.

'No, I don't think so…'

'Again, with the lying.' Naruto points out. He can spot liars pretty quick because people have been lying to him since forever.

'I suppose he'll have to get some training.' The hokage agrees with the boy. If that man's acting really was this bad, then they would have to give him some lessons.

'You know him?' Naruto blinks. This must mean the guy is some sort of ninja.

'Wait and see.'

'Really? Well, excuse me. Later!' Gai says as he turns around to walk away. Then he starts mumbling. 'I could have sworn I've met him before.'

The man sighs.

The next shot is from inside an apartment. The mysterious man is standing half naked in front of the mirror in his bathroom. His ANBU tattoo is on display. Then his fingers reach for his eye and he pulls away a circle lens revealing the true color underneath. At least that would have happened if it didn't cut away just in time.

'It's a disguise!' Naruto and Kiba shout out loud. They could have never guessed. The rest of the group sighs at their stupidity.

'Duh. I figured that out ages ago.' Sasuke tells them. Naruto sticks his tongue out at the boy. In return Sasuke gives him a little shove. But the Iruka puts a stop to it before it can escalate.

Then the man starts correcting his voice. It turns into something deeper. Then his wig is pulled off to reveal Kakashi's hair. After removing the purple stripes on his face, the truth is finally revealed. It was Kakashi all along!

'So that's what you meant!' Naruto screams. He should have guessed. It would have made sense, yet his head is unable to make the connection.

'Sneaky bastard.' Sasuke mumbles under his breath. He acts like he knew all along, but he really didn't. He'll have to practice more.

His face is on display for everyone to see!

'His face is a little disappointing.' Neji states. The group turns to look at him.

'I think it's pretty great.' Ino says. 'What were you expecting?'

'Something a bit more revolutionary.' Like angels singing, objects floating, people being cured of illnesses. But instead they got a normal face.

'I don't get you guys.'

Then the scene ends.


'That was pretty fun.' Naruto says. He's smiling. If only the older version of himself could have seen it as well. Then it would have been amazing.

'One of the greatest secrets has been revealed!' Tsume yells out. Sure she's seen it before but that doesn't change that it's amazing to see again.

'How do you feel Kakashi?' Itachi asks his senpai.

'I think it's funny when people try to see my face. I don't really care if they see it or not.' Kakashi explains. 'I like to fool with them though.'

'That's boring.' Lee tells him. He should give them a reward, like actually showing his face as a reward for trying.

'Sorry for not being entertaining enough.'

The boy shakes his head. 'You are plenty entertaining. It's your personality that could use some work.'

'What's that supposed to mean?' Kakashi doesn't know what he needs to change about his personality. He's already a million times better than his child self. He used to be an utter brat.

'What's up next.' Hinata asks the robot.

'I want something funny.' If there is one thing Naruto loves, it's laughing and having fun. Some of the scenes they are watching are really sad and he'd rather watch something fun.

'I just want clues to the future.' Sasuke mumbles. He wants to know what happened to his future self.

The screen lights up once again and this time it reads: 'Road to another dimension.'


The scene starts with five people standing within a playground. These five people are: Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji, Neji, and Lee. But something is different. Lee isn't wearing the green jumpsuit and his hair is actually properly styled. Chouji is thin and Ino is dressed modestly. Something isn't right here.

'What's going on?' Sakura watches the screen. On it are familiar people that don't look anything like they do as she knows them. It's messing with her head a little bit.

'This is really strange.' Tenten agrees with her. She does notice that she's not there. She's on a team with Lee and Neji right?

'The title did say this was another dimension.' Itachi watches. He doesn't know these people that well but even he can see that something strange is going on here.

'What's going on with Tenten anyway?' Lee says.

Neji agrees. 'Ditching training and missions are taboo for a Leaf Shinobi!'

'So far I am not noticing anything strange except for their looks.' Hiashi states. He has seen crazier things. He does wonder what is so different about these kids that lets them look so different.

'Does this mean I'm the center of this scene?' Tenten asks. She just heard her name. Does this mean she'll finally get the spotlight?

'You haven't appeared yet.' Lee laughs. But even he is looking at his self from this scene. He has to admit his future self does look a little strange but the one here dresses completely different. It's kind of jarring.

Shikamaru smiles and points his finger. 'She must really hate you.' He laughs. He's acting a bit odd.

'I take that back.' Hiashi says. Shikaku's son would never act like that.

'Is it me or does Shikamaru act like an idiot?' Shino says. There is no emotion in his voice, but it does carry the thoughts of the people in the room.

'You mean like Naruto?' Sasuke laughs. Not much later Naruto delivers a punch to his head.

'Hey!' Again, Iruka has to interfere to make sure nothing bad happens.

'That's not the problem!' Neji grumbles.

It's Chouji that interrupts. 'Well, he might be onto something. I mean, your team has got some serious issues.'

'I wonder what they are talking about?' Sakura says. She knows that the people in this dimension had some issues, some more than others but what could be the problem there?

'Something about Tenten being strange.' Lee thinks for a bit but he can't come up with a reason why.

'It could be that our Tenten managed to land herself in that world?' Shikamaru suggests. The group turns to look at him.

'What makes you think so?' Chouji asks his friend.

Shikamaru shrugs. 'Just a feeling. Why else would we see this?'

'That's true.' Ino's voice is softer than usual. 'I wouldn't be able to take all that vulgar talk.'

'It's like she's the complete opposite of her normal self.' Itachi thinks he might like this version more. The one here in the room knows some seriously weird stuff.

'It's strange.' Iruka agrees with him. He can't see Ino acting like that.

'Are you saying I'm the problem?' Neji points to himself.

'Neji vulgar?' Lee has to take that in. Neji in his mind always used to be the meaning of proper. It's like they are the completely opposite of what they are in this world.

'How odd.'

'No… The way I see it, her anger is directed at something more than that.' It seems Chouji is the voice of reason here.

'You mean… I'm also to blame?' This time it's Lee that points to himself.

'This Lee is strange. He's got a better sense of fashion.' Tenten shudders. If it really is her that managed to land herself in this world then it would make sense that she didn't want to hang out with any of them. They are plain weird.

'It's still ugly though.' Ino snorts. Lee is a little offended.

Then there is a cut.

Next thing to appear is the group standing on a bridge. There are more people there as well.

'Until hell freezes over?' Lee hangs on the railing. It seems that whatever they had come up with failed spectacularly.

'Whatever they tried must have failed.' Chouji couldn't explain why else they would be so disappointed.

Then it's Sakura who speaks up. 'Now, now… don't get so depressed.' She says. In the background Naruto and Sasuke are there as well. But they are dressed a little differently. Naruto got another hairstyle and Sasuke looks like he stepped out of a shoujo manga. 'But I wonder what the cause of all this is?'

'Sasuke… pfft.' Shisui has to hold in his laughter. Sasuke looks so weird. From the little fragment they had seen of future Sasuke he knew that his sense of fashion was passable. But this alternate Sasuke looks like some sort of playboy.

'What is he wearing?' Mikoto is a little shocked. She can't for the life of her imagine her son dressing like that.

'He doesn't look like a ninja.' Is what Itachi has to say about it. Most of them still looked like they would be able to fight with their alternate outfits. Sasuke doesn't. It's horrible attire.

'I know. He looks like some sort of model.' Ino has stars in her eyes. She can totally see herself dating someone like that.

'Here Sakura is taking the lead.' Naruto takes notice. He doesn't see her do that a lot even though he's sure she would be great at it.

'Sure. Why not?' It's always great to see a girl take the lead.

'Maybe she's not mad, but worried about something.' Ino suggests meekly. It's not like her at all.

'She doesn't have an appetite, she rejects her friends, she's troubled and wants to be left alone.' Sasuke speaks, there is nothing particularly odd about how he speaks more about the amount of words that leave his mouth.

'Sasuke doesn't seem to be that strange yet.' Hinata mutters. She's seen what the others are like. And how strange that hairstyle is on Naruto.

'Let me guess. Something strange is going to come up.' Kiba calls. And he would be right.

'There's no mistake…' he takes out a rose from nowhere. 'She's lovesick!' He suggests, very out of character.

'What!' Ino has to take that in. Sasuke would never act like that. He's too cool for that. Sasuke stares at the screen with wide eyes. He can't believe it. His alternate self is like that. It's horrible!

'Sasuke?' Itachi like his brother has wide eyes. This is impossible. His sweet little brother… he would never be that obsessed with love. Of all things.

'Well if we're going with the opposites and in this world Sasuke is loved by the ladies, then in that world he must love the ladies.' Shikaku smiles. But deep inside he's grimacing at what his alternate self must be like. Well if Shikamaru was anything to go off it's not looking that good.

'What an odd logic.' Inoichi muses. At least his girl is sweet in that world. But she's also sweet in this world.

Sakura laughs as if it's normal. 'That's all you think about. What do you think, Menma?' The shot changes to the strange Naruto.

'Menma?' Sasuke tilts his head to the side. He wasn't expecting another name.

'Naruto got another name?' Sakura too is a little surprised.

'Why me?' Naruto like his name. It's his favorite in ramen, menma isn't. This world hurts his head!

'This world is really strange.' Hinata muses. She too is a little scared at what her alternate self must be like.

'We'll get nowhere just talking amongst ourselves.' He's quitter than usual. It makes it seem like he's smart.

'Oh. That must mean that in this world Naruto is smart and quiet.' Kiba says like he just figured out how to travel to the moon.

'This makes my head spin.' Naruto clutches his head. No way in the world could he actually be quiet. No way! Being loud is part of him.

'You're right!' Sakura is ready. 'So, let's all do something for her!' She pumps her fist into the air as she takes the lead.

'I have a feeling they are going to fail again.' Shino says. They all glare at him. He hasn't appeared yet. The Shino of that world must be some sort of social butterfly.

Then there is another cut. The people are back on the bridge and it seems that their plan has failed once again.

'She's beyond our help.' Sakura states. 'She's in full battle mode and she's just not listening to us.' She explains.

'Told you so.'

'So, you didn't fare any better, eh.' Neji says.

'If she's not upset about Neji's pervy comments and she's not in love. What do we do?' Lee screams out.

'Neji a pervert?' Lee blinks a couple times. That wasn't what he was expecting Neji to be like.

'As long as he isn't misusing the byakugan I'm fine with it.' Hiashi grumbles. Yet they've been blessed with the best spying tool in the world but that doesn't mean they get to misuse it like that.

'He would love my books then.' Jiraiya has a glint in his eyes that most people don't like.

'I have a feeling that in this world you're going to be all proper.' Tsume points out. What would she be like? Soft? No way!

Kakashi snorts. 'That would make sense.'

'We just have to leave her alone.' Another voice cuts in. It's Shino, he doesn't look that odd. Kiba who's walking behind does. The markings on his cheeks are a little different and Akamaru is nowhere in sight. 'Oh, but that doesn't mean ignore her.'

'What's going on with them?' Sakura doesn't notice anything different about them. Sure, Shino was the first one to speak but that doesn't say anything yet.

'I don't notice anything strange. Except for Kiba's cheeks.' Sasuke agrees.

Shikamaru takes it all in and goes over multiple theories. 'They make him look more feline.' Is all he manages to say.

Not a second later Kiba's face darkens. 'Oh. Don't tell me… I'm into cats here?'

'It would make sense.' Shino tells his friend.

Kiba puts his head on the table and cries. The rest of the people there laugh at his antics. Akamaru lets out a little whine. Does that mean he isn't with Kiba, or is he a cat?

'I agree. Tenten herself seems to want that.' Kiba cuts in.

'Isn't that a little cold?' Lee replies.

Then Menma cuts in. 'I don't think we should leave her alone. Something bothers me.'

'Look at him being smart.' Iruka is a little surprised to hear Naruto's voice be the smart one but he thinks he likes it.

'It doesn't fit him! Naruto is supposed to be an idiot.' Sasuke yells out. He's supposed to be the smart one here.

'Hey!' Naruto shouts again and he gives Sasuke a hard shove. Sasuke nearly falls of the chair.

'My point.'

'Menma, you're such a good, thoughtful friend!' Hinata cuts in. There is something different about her. She's much more provocative and wears obvious make up. She's acting all sweet to him. Then her mood changes completely. 'The complete opposite of that Tenten! I'll go beat some sense into that wench!' And she poofs away.

'Holy moly!' Naruto shouts. This Hinata is really strange. She's a little intimidating.

'Hinata is scary… Something I never thought I'd see.' Kiba winces. Hinata always was that girl that would cheer you on from the sidelines. Someone reliable but that didn't voice it. This Hinata is loud.

'It's kind of hot.' Shisui mutters. It's something that is kind of attracting him and he doesn't know what to feel about it.

'I think it's scary.' Naruto mutters.

'No matter the world she still got a crush on Naruto.' Jiraiya laughs. He has to agree with Ino. They would totally end up together, you know, if Hinata didn't die.

'A what?' Naruto blinks a couple times. What is this old man talking about.

'One moment, Lady Hinata.' Neji reaches out to grab her but fails. 'She disappeared.'

'She left a clone. The real one is already gone.' Menma explains.

'Oh. That's not going to end well.' Tenten mutters. Her future self-better be able to defend herself from someone as scary as that.

Then the scene ends.

'Aw man! I wanted to see more.' Kiba complains. He has to confirm whether or not he's into cats there.

'I want to forget that world.' Naruto promptly states. 'Everything is wrong there.' It makes him feel uncomfortable.

'I can see your point.' Sasuke has to agree with him. His alternate self can burn in hell. He's awful.

'Would the Akatsuki still be evil?' Chouji wonders out loud. Ino's eyes sparkle as she can see all those hot guys within her reach.

'Probably? Or not. I don't know.' Shikamaru can go over many things but there are several inconsistencies in what is changed and what not. He's not able to make a conclusion just yet.


'That was odd.' Is the only thing Fugaku could say. He could have never imagined seeing a world as strange as that. Especially his son. What was he thinking?

'I think I'm going to have nightmares.' Naruto mumbles. So many things wrong.

Sasuke blinks a couple times and tilts his head to the side. 'Why? It wasn't scary.'

'Hinata scared me. I like our Hinata better.'

This makes the young girl go red in the face of embarrassment. Naruto noticed her! 'Eep!'

'I wonder what everyone else would be like?' Iruka says. Would he hate kids there? He hopes not. He likes them too much for that.

'Itachi would probably be really violent.' Shisui laughs. Itachi pales at the thought.

'Oh no.' He hopes not. At least Sasuke doesn't show any signs of that being the case.

'Isn't he violent in our world as well. Since he, well, you know.' Sakura points out. At the thought the mood in the room darkens immediately.

'Right.' Shisui doesn't want to think about it. 'He might be a jokester then.'

'Or actually have a social life.' Kakashi points out. A couple people stare at him, he really shouldn't be the one saying that.

'I have friends.' Itachi complains.

'Two people is not a lot.'

'It's enough for me.'


Added notes:

Kakashi is handsome and a bad liar

Kakashi has an alternate identity

There is another world in which everything is the opposite of ours

Hinata is kind of cool

Sasuke is weird, like really weird

The rest is just strange


'What's up next?' Lee asks the screen.

Everyone's attention is on the screen as it displays the words: 'The cause of death.'

'What's that supposed to mean?' Naruto complains. What's with these vague titles. Couldn't they be simple? Like 'This is Sasuke fighting a snake.' Or something.

'Dunno. I wonder what it's about.' Sasuke has a strange feeling in his gut. It doesn't feel good.

'I have a feeling that this is going to be one of the more serious ones.' Neji points out. Sure, they are hoping for clues to the future, but the grim future they've seen so far is not something to look forward to. Even if it's fate.

'I agree. There is death in the title.'


I got some comments about what should be in the next chapter. And let me be clear that I'm the one that decides what will be next. Of course the next scene is going to be exciting as it's Itachi's death but without any clues that there is anything going on behind it.

I'm not a 100% happy with this chapter as I had to cut a couple things that would spoil the future for them and I didn't want that.

Special thanks to DarkFinger who suggested Road to Ninja stuff and while this isn't from the movie (it wasn't available to me at the moment) I settled for the next best thing which is the Tenten dream.
