"You're in my world now."
Just like that, everyone present felt like a huge weight had fallen over them. Even Sarutobi could barely stand on his feet. The genin and civilians were being crushed by the weight, but even the ANBU couldn't stand up properly.
What is this guy?
Sasuke and Sakura had begun backing up away from Naruto the second they heard him laughing. Cause oh my gosh this was creepier than his creepy laugh, and that's saying something. The second that the gravity was brought down though, they were immediately on the ground.
The Hokage stood on his feet and glared at the Doctor. Having regained himself, he's ready to fight.
The Doctor however, looked unamused by all the people pancakes he had made. Therefore completely ignoring the Hokage. He banged his staff on the stage floor, bringing up some music. From where? Who knows.
(Play Voltaire - When You're Evil)
Slowly dancing around, the Doctor proceeded to step on people to make his way to get to the Hokage.
Sarutobi realizing the situation they're in, knows they can't fight with half the village so close. He could only send his darkest glare towards the Doctor.
Who meanwhile, decided to let Naruto join in the dance. Not caring whether or not they destroyed nearby properties. Their dancing sure caused some broken bones though, as they didn't even try to avoid the people all over the place.
Jumping back to the stage, the Doctor finished his song. Naruto clapping happily along.

"Why are you doing this?!" The Hokage shouted. "What's your purpose here?"
The Doctor gave a little spin and tipped his hat. "Well let's say where I came from is no longer an option, I'd like to start anew, and it's a good start."
Turning to Naruto he grinned. "I needed an apprentice recently, and he seemed like a good match. So much mischievousness in one small child. Isn't that right Naruto?"
Naruto grinned back at the taller man, purple eyes glowing. "That is completely true master! I would love to be your perfect apprentice!"
The Doctor smiled and patted Naruto's spiky blonde hair. "Atta boy. You're gonna do great."
Naruto laughed and looked back at Sarutobi. "What will we do with him?"
The Doctor looked to Naruto, and back at Sarutobi. "You seem pretty skilled my boy, and the Hokage is greatly weakened at the moment. All those fees to enter and watch really satisfied my friends enough to help out eh?"
Naruto jumped in excitement. "I can fight him? Really?"
"Yep." The Doctor grinned. "Don't be quick about it, let him die slowly and painfully. You think you can handle that?"
"Handle it?" Naruto huffed. "I was born to!"
"Good, good." The Doctor snapped his fingers and Naruto immediately jumped with an attack at the Hokage, who managed to dodge just in time.
The Hokage backed off, avoiding all the genin's attacks, they were extremely quick and precise. He'd have to be careful. "Naruto, listen to me. You're not his apprentice, your a genin of Konoha. The Naruto I know would never let some person get the better of him like this. Think of your friends."
"I have no friends!" Naruto laughed. Sasuke and Sakura were visibly upset by the proclamation, but knew that Naruto wasn't himself.
"All of you people really thought I cared? HA! Why would I care when all everyone does is glare at me? Bully me? Attack me? Refuse to sell products to me and if they do, it's either broken or rotten!" Naruto pulled out a kunai and swung at Sarutobi.
The Doctor looked on in interest hearing this news. An outcast huh? He really is a good choice.
Sarutobi pulled out a kunai and used it to defend against Naruto's own. He then used the body flicker technique to get behind Naruto and get his own back to the people. Inwardly apologizing, he made the seals and attacked Naruto with his Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.
Surprised at the strength and suddenness of the attack, Naruto was thrown further down the street, not stopping until he had crashed into one of the houses. Coughing as he tried to get up, he noticed his body had many burns, and the crash into the building didn't help any.
The Doctor wasn't happy either. The Hokage was not supposed to be this strong! The gravity weighing down on him courtesy of his friends, should have made him no stronger than a regular jounin at most!
The Hokage had cringed at Naruto's injuries, but knew that it was necessary. Naruto can heal quickly, but many lives were at stake. He knew he had to press on.
"So every time you called me gramps it was fake Naruto? Your trust with Iruka, all those pranks you did with your friends? It was all a lie? You never wanted to be here, despite how each and every one of us who have gotten close to you, love you like family?"
Naruto growled, and ran back to Sarutobi with another attack. "Shut it and fight!"
The Hokage prepared an Earth Release: Earth Dragon Projectile and fired at Naruto, who in his blind rage, couldn't move out of the way or remember to make any shadow clones. Taking it head on, the blonde genin was knocked out of the fight.

The Hokage turned back towards the Doctor. "As skilled as Naruto is, and as weakened as I am, I am still the Hokage. You will lose today."
The Doctor looked shocked. "Y-you can't beat me! I-I am the Doctor! All powerful! You-you better…" He smirked. "Watch out."
Sarutobi spun around in surprise, only to get pinned down by dozens of Naruto clones.
Meanwhile, the Doctor laughed. "Don't think a few measly attacks could hold him down long! You're done Hokage!"
The Hokage could take one look at Naruto and could tell, he was nowhere near able to fight. So he once more tried to talk. "Naruto, if you keep going, you are going to die. You're heavily injured."
"I'm fine!" Naruto growled back at him.
"You are not! This isn't the Naruto I know! As much as I know I can win this fight, I can't bear to hurt you any more than I already have."
"Then you're weak!"
"And who will be the Hokage of Konoha? Our future Hokage? Isn't that your dream Naruto? You always boasted and bragged about becoming the Hokage, you can't do that like this!"
Naruto stopped moving. "I did?"
Sarutobi nodded. "Remember when you'd come into my office, telling me that soon I'd give you my hat? Who will do that if you're not there?"
"I-I..."
Sarutobi felt something hit his face, before he saw Naruto's tears. There was a pang in his heart at seeing Naruto so upset, and as the clones disappeared, reached up and gave him a hug.
Whispering reassurances, he stood up, and turned towards the Doctor. "Leave, you have lost."
The Doctor was grinding his teeth. "You will not have peace knowing I'm always out there. It may be my loss, but you can assure that this is not over."

The weight was lifted off of everyone, and even the Hokage felt much lighter. Though before anyone could grab or attack the Doctor, he vanished in purple mist.
The Hokage then turned his attention to the sobbing genin.
Naruto wanted to run and hide in a corner. He was a monster. He damaged property, hurt people, even attempted to murder the Hokage! He deserved death, torture, whatever they give him he probably deserved!
The choker had been refusing to come off, and Naruto's eyes were still purple, but he knew he was himself. Would it even last?
They wanted to lock him up, or restrain him until they can be sure the choker won't do anything, but the Hokage was confident in letting Naruto come and stay in his office. Naruto himself wondered if that was a good idea. He'd probably just end up attacking gramps again.
Currently Naruto was curled up on his side, lying down on a small couch in the office. He was turned towards the couch, refusing to look at anyone. He didn't deserve to look anyone in the eyes, or even look at anyone at all.
Sarutobi knew that Naruto was placing all the guilt on himself, and he feared what Naruto would do in this state. He tried talking to the boy, but it was like trying to talk to the couch itself. Naruto had become a shell of himself.
Eventually his friends also managed to come by, after the collar was indeed removed. They took one look at the state he was in, and made it a mission to bring him back to his crazy self.
The Hokage smiled at the companionship they showed.
"Naruto, why don't we do some pranks huh? I'm sure you've been planning some lately."
"..."
Sakura took a turn. "Naruto, nothing is the same without your crazy antics, we all need you."
"..."
Sasuke and Sakura looked at each other, and back down to the genin. They both raised their fists, and brought them down on his head. Hard.
"Ow! What was that for!"
Sakura glared. "Naruto! You get up off that couch right now! No more 'woe is me' attitude, step up and man up! We're a team, you get it! Nobody thinks any differently of you! We're all proud of your will, and you proved yourself by even being here now. So suck it up princess, and go prank this village!"
Sasuke had backed off during the rant, and Naruto just stared with wide eyes.
Cue in an even bigger surprise, when in through the window comes, Kakashi, their sensei.
Silently walking towards Naruto he knelt down next to the couch. "Naruto, I've just been informed that my crazy genin isn't being so crazy at the moment. I may be hours late to everything, but for the well being of one of my little genin, you are my first priority." Kakashi looked Naruto in his eyes, smiling at the striking blue colour.
"You mean so much more to us than you think Naruto. Nobody here blames you. This Doctor was controlling you, you can't be blamed for that. No more tears and depressive moods ok? Leave it to someone like me."
Naruto gave a small smile at his sensei. Those words meant a lot.
Kakashi wasn't finished. "I can guess what you're thinking. Until that choker was off, you didn't even trust yourself. Now all you can think about is being punished. Maybe even just disappearing from this world. You think you deserve it. You don't Naruto. You deserve a healthy, free life. I can relate to your pain, and I bet Sasuke could too. Heck, a lot of ninja in this village could probably relate in some way too. Even your 'Crazy Snake Lady'. Come talk to me if you need to, or the Hokage, or anyone else. They'll listen, and they'll help. So why don't you have fun now ok? You easily deserve a bit of fun after recent events."
Naruto was noticeably brighter after Kakashi's words. He was no longer upset.
He was laughing.
He laughed and held his friends and sensei close, tears falling. These tears were happy ones. The Hokage came over, and was immediately included in the hug.
Naruto jumped up. "Well, that's that! Let's get these pranks done!" Turning to the Hokage he smiled. "You're off the hook for now gramps! Thanks a bunch!" Bowing to Kakashi, "Thank you sensei, you're off the hook for now too, I'd gladly take up your offer sometime, thank you so much."
The Hokage watched the three genin run out, and smiled. Things were back to normal, or as normal it could get. Something like this would probably take time.
Sitting down at his desk he started back on his own torture. *Ahem* Paperwork. Hearing screams and the squawking of chickens in the distance, he could only chuckle softly.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were having a blast.
Until they realized.
