(Chapter 2/Just Like The Old Times)

(I do not own Naruto)

Sasuke got up from the floor wobbling a bit as he made his way towards Naruto and embraced him into a huge, which he started to cry into. Naruto only smirks and hug's him back which shocked everyone in the bar.

(Hour before)

Naruto was jumping from house to house when he saw Sasuke being scolded by Kakashi and decided to wait until Kakashi left before talking to Sasuke, so when Kakashi left, Naruto jumped on the branch that Sasuke was sitting on, they both looked at each other with blank expressions.

"Why are you here? going to try and make me feel better?" Sasuke said laughing sadly as Naruto nodes which cause Sasuke to frown at him, but Naruto looked at his friend and remembered what pain he was going through, so he decided what to do to help Sasuke.

' this time, I'll use my power to help him' Naruto thought while finding the were the mark would be on Sasuke shoulder which gets Sasuke to stiffen when he feels Naruto touch his shoulder and jump away from Naruto, but still standing on the branch to glare at him.

"What the hell do you think your-!" Sasuke didn't have time to finish his rant when Naruto's fist hit him straight in the face with so much force it makes Sasuke Stumble back into the trunk of the tree, his body brakes the bark from the force that causes Sasuke to get a bloody nose with a surprised face only for it to turn furious in a second.

"Jesus man come on! Everyone's here for you so just ask us for help!" Naruto yelled angrily as he glared at Sasuke, but could feel the blood from his torn knuckles on his skin which got Naruto to find out his body can't take his future strength quite well yet.

"I know okay! It's just I need to avenge my-!" Sasuke had barely shouted when he was grabbed by the collar and throw into the ground below him,which gets Sasuke to get his kuni so he was ready to use it against Naruto, who had descended on to him with a glowing yellow fist of lightning that was ready to punch him, but when Naruto connected with Sasuke's attack the force of the hit sent Sasuke flying out of the forest park and onto a roof of a bar in the center of the villages marketplace.

Sasuke was groaning in pain when Naruto using his father's lightning technique appeared out of nowhere in a bolt of lightning over him on the roof also pinning him down by the neck. Naruto brought his face closer to Sasuke with a happy aura around him.

"If you say anything about you avenging your brother Again-I won't be happy…" Naruto said dangerously to Sasuke who had a scared look on his face, but when he saw Naruto's eyes change slowly to what looked like Sharingan for only a second before dispersing as Sasuke looked at Naruto in confusion.

"I understand your pain I also want revenge but that won't help Sasuke! The pain will never go away like that… so let him go he's not worth it" Naruto said with a serious tone then letting go of Sasuke's neck Naruto does a secret jujitsu that makes his hands spark with crystals as Sasuke try's to get up to only get Naruto right crystal hand on his head and the other on his shoulder making a sun-shaped, golden, curse mark which sends so much force at Sasuke that he pushed down to throw the roof into the bar below them.

(present/Naruto pov)

"No way! Naruto you... know ha-ha..." Sasuke whispered to me with a bit of stress as I just pat's his head with a warm smile until Sasuke and me were suddenly separated by Jiraiya forcefully.

'What?' I thought as I looked up at Jiraiya who was holding me back by the shoulder and kept Sasuke away in the same manner which had got me to remember when he first got jealous of me being flirty with a boy in the future.

(flashback)

"Jiraiya for god sake I'm not a child anymore! how are you to say I can't date or be Pervy when you are ten times worse than the average pervert?" I yelled furiously at Jiraiya how had just soccer punched a man that tried to hit on me, making him fly to the moon as we made our way home.

Jiraiya just stared at me with a satisfied smile on his face as he put his huge right arm protectively around my shoulders and continued onward. I was Suppressing the urge to punch Jiraiya, but decided to pinch his cheek instead which causes him to laugh.

"why do you get like that every time a guy hits on me anyway? are you jealous? hehe!" I asked with a teasing grin on my face and get surprised when Jiraiya stopped in his tracks as he kisses me on the cheek lovingly and pulls away.

"yes and no one can have you without getting through me first" Jiraiya whispered in my ear before stepped away with a serious expression on his face and disappearing while leaving only a swirl of leafs and a very pissed off me in his wake.

(end of flashback)

Forcing a smile back I glare at Jiraiya pretending to be oblivious to his jealousy as Jiraiya only glares at Sasuke as something or someone pulls me by the collar out of Jiraiyas hold and throw the bar ignoring my glaring, but when we reach to entrance of the bar to leave. I waved bye with a little grin at Sasuke how only smirks back with tears still in his eyes.

I and a very pissed off Iruka were Half way to my apartment when he stopped dragging me and looked at me with so much tension you could have cut it with a knife as I tried to stand up.

"Tell me what's wrong and why you did that to Sasuke? I just want to help you, Naruto! I know you've been feeling bad and I didn't want to pry, but I'm worried please tell me!" Iruka pleaded as I looked at him in awe and couldn't take it anymore.

"I... I don't want to be alone anymore!" I broke down crying which makes him show a Guilty face. I didn't want to lie to him or my self because I had enough with being alone. Iruka pulled me into a tight hug and let me cry into his chest until I fell half asleep and slowly I could feel him pick me up bridal style as we continued down the road to my apartment building.

(narrator pov)

'What the heck was I thinking? Hes crying from being lonely and all because I was a cowered, I should have just kept out of all this Why do I have to be his god father, damn it!' Jiraiya thought angrily as he ground his teeth and looked down at the teen in the arms of Iruka which caused Jiraiya to bite his lip hating that he had made Naruto to cry and Hearing a sniffle he suddenly made eye contact with the teen.

Naruto looked away hurt with a tear dripping down his cheek, not knowing what to do and yawned while cuddled into Iruka's chest, still pretending to sleep which gets Iruka to smile down at him. Iruka got to the front door of Naruto's apartment when Jiraiya moved from his hiding place to leave not noticing that Iruka had seen him and frowned.

'strange what is one of the legendary Sanin doing hear?' Iruka thought suspiciously until Naruto steered in his arms and got him to snap out of it. he got the house keys from Naruto's pocket which allowed him to go inside. He saw that the place had three rooms: Naruto bedroom which was at the entrance of the house, a bathroom which was on the left side of the bedroom and a kitchen that was on the right while all the rooms were separated by sliding doors except the kitchen that was opened and connected to the bedroom.

Iruka slowly put Naruto down on his bed that was in the far left corner of the room and went to the bathroom as fast as he could while Naruto got up after he had left the room. Naruto went over to the right side of the room that lead him into the kitchen that looked just like his from the future, but now it didn't have a sidebar. he sat on one of the chairs that were next to a small table in front of my kitchen window and gazed out of it remembering the future sadly.

Iruka was currently sat on the floor in the bathroom with a very red face, it took all his power not to do anything to Naruto on the way to the boy's house,but when he saw Naruto change into a girl as he sat her down on her bed he nearly fainted. He heard rustling in the room and knew it was Naruto who must have woken up, He took a deep breath.

'I need to apologize to him properly' Iruka thought making his way out of the bathroom and into the kitchen where Naruto was just sitting at a small kitchen table staring out the window and Seeing how the breeze that came in throw the window flowed throw Naruto's hair perfectly. it made the orange sunset that was outside lightened up Naruto's face making her look like a goddess that made Iruka want to die right then and there.

(Naruto pov)

I feel someone watching me as I stare outside and turn around to find Iruka staring at me with a bloody nose of which I give him a blank look as to what had stunned him before I looked down and saw my henge no jutsu was gone and I was a girl again.

"Ugh, damn it! get your mind out of the gutter Iruka sensai! ew!" I said angrily at him which makes him blush and try to clog his nose, as I give him a tissue box which he takes with an embarrassed smile, and then go to my front door to let Iruka who followed me to the front door to go home, but I didn't let him leave quite yet.

" please don't tell anyone okay sensai..." I tell him shyly and after he nodded with a soft smile and leaves I sigh in annoyance as i also sensed that pervy sage hadn't left yet ether but I knew how to get rid of him.

"It's ok, I forgive you" I whispered to him meaning to say it softly as I sense his chakra spike then dispersed, I then close the door before hitting my head on it repeatedly before going to have a cold shower.

(narrator pov)

Jiraiya put an arm over his face thinking silently to himself as he laid on his futon, before clenching his jaw in annoyance for being a coward and not being able to face Naruto when he sensed him, but when He remembered Naruto forgiving him and looked at the ceiling smiling with determination.

'I'm going to make sheer you learn everything I know" Jiraiya promised Naruto in his thoughts proudly as he laid on his futon, falling sound asleep While Naruto who was Brushing her wet hair sneezed, but continued on thinking it was just a side effect of being wet and went to bed.
