There is something really really really important to say. I forgot this one important sentence at the end of Naruto and the mysterious man's fight: "The sun symbol in his right palm disappeared." I recommend to check it again cuz it may play an important role in the next chapters. Anyway, enjoy the story.

I don't own Naruto.

I don't own Tokyo Ghoul, too. ;)

Chapter 21: Memories

"Menma Namikaze ..."

"S-Sensei?" said the green haired girl.

He then quickly cut the tail with his sword. The ghoul degenerated his tail.

"Yo, guys. You all right?" asked Menma. His hair is no longer fully red. In the middle it had started to turn blond again.

"Just get out of here, me and Sasaki will handle them."

"Too late." said the man as he swung his tail again. He separated Menma and the three investigators.

Sasaki walked beside Menma.

"Mutsuki. Call in Akira!" said Sasaki. He then took off his coat. Four tails appeared behind him. His left eye turned red.

"So you guys are getting serious, huh?" said the Cat.

Sasaki jumped towards the Serpent and started to attack him with his tails. The ghoul countered it with his large tail. But Sasaki's tails cut the ghoul's one.

"Serpent's kagune has been destroyed!" said Shirazu.

But the tail regenerated.

For Menma, he pulled out a kunai with his left hand. He then rushed towards the Cat. The Cat also countered it with same type of kunai.

'He uses the same kunai as me?' thought Menma. 'Who's this guy?'

The Serpent suddenly appeared in front of Sasaki and kicked him in the stomach. Sasaki then picked up his sword and started to attack him again.

He used both his kagune and sword to attack the ghoul. But the ghoul broke his sword. He then kicked him continuously in the stomach. "You gotta do better than that." Kaneki spat some blood.

He then jumped up and kicked Sasaki in the face. "Here ya go." He fell back to the ground.

Menma blocked the Cat's attack with his sword and jumped back.

"You are good."

"Thanks."

"I never thought I need to use this." He then put his kunai back. A familiar blue energy orb appeared in his left palm.

'Is that Rasengan?' thought Urie.

The Cat also generated the same blue energy orb in his right palm. 'What the hell?' thought Menma.

But there was a slight difference between theirs. Small wind blades started to form around the Cat's energy ball. "I never thought I will need to use your own technique back at you." said the Cat.

The two of them rushed towards each other.

"Futon: Rasengan/ Rasengan!"

The two jutsu collided. But the Cat's Rasengan started to crack Menma's. It then hit Menma's stomach. And he was sent flying towards the lying Sasaki. 'What ... the hell?' thought Menma.

He was lying on the ground. He then heard something whispered into his ears. "Kit, let me help you a little."

Shirazu and Mutsuki ran towards the two boys.

Sasaki suddenly got up. But for Menma, red chakra leaked out from his stomach and pushed him from the back. He was now standing coated with red chakra. 2 fox-like ears formed from the red chakra.

"Stand down." said Sasaki.

"But ..."

Menma glanced at them. The two of them fell back a little.

Menma's eyes had already turned red with a vertical slit.

Sasaki stretched out a little.

'They almost seemed like different persons.' said the girl.

"You are not getting through, Mr Serpent."

"Well, you seem way more interesting than those brats."

Menma crouched down to the ground like an animal. He then rushed towards the Cat and started to attack him. The Cat blocked it with his with kunai but the kunai was broken by the sharp nails of Menma.

Sasaki's kagune suddenly burst out from his back and sliced the Serpent's large tail. The man jumped back to avoid his attacks. But finally, one of his tails pierced his chest. Three more tails pierced his stomach and the man spat blood. "Payback time." said Sasaki as he slammed the man to the ground. He then walked towards the ghoul.

"Aw, Seriously? It looked like you still haven't found salvation ... Kaneki." the man got up from the ground. He was unmasked by the last attack.

"N-Nishio-senpai...?"

'W-Who's Nishio-senpai, What? What am I saying?' thought the Sasaki.

He then held his head dropped to his knees. His Kagune burst out form his back and started to rampage.

For Menma, he rushed towards the Cat and pierced him in the stomach with his chakra tail and smashed him to the ground.

Menma walked towards the Cat. His red chakra started to fade away. The Cat was now unmasked. "Huh... long time no see, Naruto nii-san..."

"K-Konohamaru...?"

'W-what am I saying? W-Who's Konohamaru?' he thought.

He then held his head dropped to his knees. His red chakra burst out from stomach again.

The Cat picked up his mask and wear it again. "Sorry ... we're out of time." said the Serpent. The Cat walked towards the Serpent. The Cat then did a ram seal and both of them disappeared.

Three cars arrived behind the Quinx squad. The three of them looked back. And 12 investigators came out from the cars.

"I'm calling off the pursuit of Serpent and Cat." said one of them.

"We'll be handling the SS rated ghoul Eyepatch and SS rated Kitsune."

'SS rate?' thought the girl.

They then rushed towards the two boys and started to attack them.

"Akira. Kuramoto." said a man through radio.

The snipers then shot at the two of them.

The Next Day With Akira

She was standing in front of the chief's desk.

"So we failed to apprehend Torso, the Cat and the Serpent ..." said the man as he read the report.

"I'm terribly sorry." said Akira.

"More importantly, how are Investigator Sasaki and Menma doing?"

"They lost control during their fight. But with the assistance from Hirako squad, we were able to subdue them."

"Good work out there, Investigator Mado. Please continue looking after them and the Quinx squad."

"Yes, sir..."

She then walked out of the room.

"Investigator Mado..."

She heard someone called her name.

"What's the matter? You look so serious."

"Investigator Kijima."

"I heard that you had a rough time with Investigator Sasaki and Menma."

"Indeed. We were able to subdue them in time, but..."

"The Quinx squad is made up of half ghouls, Investigator Sasaki and Menma-kun."

He then looked at the watch. "Oh, I must be going. I have to make some preparations for a guest from Germany. Excuse me investigator Mado." He then turned at his partner. "Let's go Furuta."

The two of them walked away from Akira and she started to walk to her destination.

With Quinx Squad

"I don't care if you lose an arm or a leg... Ghoul Investigators need to know when to run." their mentor said as he slapped the squad leader.

"I am pretty sure I didn't deserve to be slapped."

"A squad leader is not supposed to put his squad members' lives at risk.

"It's dangerous to show your back to enemy."

"If Menma-san hadn't been with us, you all would've died. You have infinite chances as long as you're alive. If you die, there's nothing left. I am relieving you from duty as leader of the Quinx squad."

"That's unacceptable."

"That's an order."

There was a silence between them.

"You are just a ghoul." said Urie.

Shirazu then got up from the couch and kicked Urie in the stomach.

"Urie! Sassan and Menma-san risked their lives to save us! And Menma-san still isn't awake yet!" He then grabbed Urie from the collar. "You're a piece of shit that's worse than a ghoul!"

"Urie ... I'd like you to apologize to Sensei." said the girl.

"Shirazu, you can let him go." said Sasaki.

Shirazu released him.

"You've been relieved of duty no matter what you say. The new leader's decided already decided. The new leader is ..."

He then pointed Shirazu. "...Third Class Investigator, Shirazu."

"Huh? Uh, W-W-Wait a sec, Sassan. You need someone smart for this." said the boy

"I believe the leader should be someone who works for the team." He then walked towards Urie.

"If you're too rebellious, I am going to eat you." He then walked away from them.

"I am a ghoul, after all." He closed the door.

"Hey Urie -" Someone shouted from upstairs. They all ran upstairs.

At Night With Menma

He was running. He don't know towards where. But he kept running.

Finally he stopped as he saw two persons in front of him. One of them is a male. He was wearing an orange jumpsuit with long orange pants. The boy looked exactly like him. There were only a few differences. He had 3 whisker marks each on his cheeks. And his hair was blond.

The female was wearing short jeans with a purple shirt. She also had purple hair. The two of them were running towards Menma. 'Who are they?' thought Menma.

The two then went pass him. Menma then saw a creature running towards them. The creature has one big eye in the middle. He has spikes bursting from his body.

One of the two was dripping some blood. They couldn't run well.

And finally, the creature caught up with them. The creature's hand turned into a spike and he struck his hand towards the girl. But the boy blocked it with his body. Blood dripped down from his chest.

Menma felt something in his chest and looked down. He also saw a hole in his chest. Blood dripping down from his hole. He kept watching the two and the creature.

"Run." said the boy.

But the girl didn't. His blood splashed towards her face as the creature pulled out his hand. The boy fell to her arms. The creature growled in victory.

"N-Naruto..." said the girl.

"I am sorry. I-I couldn't pr-protect-" The creature then swung his hand.

Menma eyes shot opened and he suddenly sat up on his bed. He was sweating profusely and panting heavily.

When he caught his breath again, he looked around and saw that he was in his room.

'Who are they? Why did the boy look like me? And what is that creature?'

He then got up from his bed and walked out of his room.

The Next Day With Quinx squad

The new squad leader sat down at the couch. "Damn it. What a joke!"

Someone came into the room and asked "What's wrong?"

"It looks like we're going to be taken off the Torso case." replied Mutsuki.

"Apparently it's because there's a possibility that Torso may be working with Aogiri."

"There is nothing you can do. Squads S1-S3 are in charge of Aogiri."

"Yeah, but look how far we got!"

"There's nothing we can do if we're dealing with Aogiri. Many investigators lost lives because of the war with Aogiri two years ago... You know that don't you?"

"Yeah, but ..."

They then heard someone opened the refrigerator. It was a blue hair girl.

"Hey Saiko!" shouted Shirazu.

"You aren't planning to eat this ham all by yourself, are you? asked the boy.

She then ran upstairs holding her ham.

Shirazu just sighed.

"So.. What's our next assignment?" asked Urie.

"Just someone called Nutcracker."

In the Evening with Quinx Squad

Menma, Shirazu and Mutsuki were walking around the city to investigate.

"So Menma-san ... when did you wake up?" asked Shirazu.

"Oh, Last night."

"Menma-san, when will you teach us how to stick to the walls?"

"Huh? I don't even know how I do that. I only felt some kind of blue energy flow to my feet and I can stick to the wall."

"Huh..."

"Anyway, where are Urie and Saiko?"

"Lord Urie said he went to see Dr. Shiba."

"Huh?"

"Apparently his frame isn't doing well, so he might stay in hospital for a few days."

"Next time, report things like that to me immediately."

"My bad."

"Don't worry. It's fine. Just report me immediately next time. And what about Saiko?"

"I tried to wake her, but there was no response. And her door is locked."

"Man ... what is ha-" he suddenly stopped walking as he smelled something.

The two other also stopped.

"What's wrong Sensei?" asked Mutsuki.

"Well, well, I've got a good feeling about this. Why don't we get something to drink?"

They then walked inside the cafe.

"This aroma ... This shop will definitely serve us some delicious coffee. That's what my nose is telling me." said Menma.

"You seem excited Menma-san."

"Apparently, it's his hobby to patronize delicious cafes." replied Mutsuki.

The waiter stared at them especially Menma.

Then they heard someone walking towards them from upstairs. "How many times do I have to tell you to welcome the guests when they come in.."

The purple haired girl then stopped when she saw Menma. Her eyes widened. His hair turned more blond again. Menma also kept staring at her. 'Where have I seen this girl before...?' thought Menma.

Mutsuki noticed that her Sensei was staring at the purple haired girl. But she didn't say anything.

The girl then continued walking towards them. She kept staring at Menma.

Menma then snapped out of his stupor. "H-Hello .. um ... we would like to have a cup of coffee." said Menma.

The three of them then sat down. The waitress just walked back to brew their coffee.

"Hey Menma-san, Where is our squad's new enemy? Nutcracker, or whatever?" asked Shirazu.

"Nutcracker .. She works out of the red light district. They're still determining her rate." replied Menma.

"Who is this ... Nutcracker?" asked Mutsuki.

"Apparently, she likes crushing men's testicles." replied Menma.

"Yikes ... It sounds like that hurts." said Mutsuki.

The purple haired girl also heard their conversation and her expression changed into a worried one. Mutsuki noticed that too.

The waitress then walked towards them with three cups of coffee. She then put them down in front of them.

Menma picked it up. He then tasted the coffee.

"Huh? ... This taste ..."

The purple haired girl kept staring at Menma. She was smiling at him. Menma was speechless.

'She is smiling... A troubled smile... A little sad too... And she is ... so beautiful...'

He then snapped out of his stupor. He noticed that the girl was wearing a necklace which is made of some kind of strange crystal.

The three of them finished their coffee. "Thanks for the coffee!" said Menma. He and his squad then stood up and walked towards the door.

The waitress then saw they left a suitcase. So she picked it up and walked towards Menma.

"Sir, you left this." she said.

Menma also heard her and stopped walking. "Oh, thanks!" said Menma.

But a boy who was sleeping at a table tackled her and she fell onto Menma.

Menma grabbed her before she could fall. The necklace which was hanging from her neck touched his left palm.

The two of them then separated from each other. There was a slight blush on both of them.

"S-Sorry" said the girl.

"N-No problem."

He then took the suitcase from her. "T-Thanks." He then started to walked towards the door. She saw a small red circle on his left palm. 'Why I didn't notice that before?' thought the girl.

Their squad then walked outside of the cafe.

After they had left, the waitress then walked towards the sleeping boy.

"KONOHAMARU! Why did you tackle me!?" asked the furious girl as she smacked his head.

"Ouch! ... I just helped you." he said back.

"How did you help me?" asked the girl.

"Isn't it because of me that you fell onto him? And didn't you want that to happen?"

She didn't answered and blushed slightly.

"Come on, Touka Onee-chan, I know you wanted to happen something Naruto Nii-san." he teased.

"Anyway, I am going to go upstairs." he said as he walked up.

At Night With Menma

He was sleeping in his room.

The red circle from his left palm came alive. It then formed the shape of a tiny fox. The fox travel up towards his head and went into his left ear.

Gradually, his whole head became coated with red chakra bubbles. The red chakra then leaked into his head.

After awhile later, Menma started to roll wildly on his bed. He was sweating profusely. Images started to flash back in his mind.

Suddenly he sat up on his bed. He was panting heavily. When he caught his breath again, he whispered something to himself.

"Touka-chan..."

With Touka

She was sitting on her bed, looking at the outside world through the window. The moon was shining through her window.

Her hand was holding the necklace Naruto gave her. She was thinking about him. She never thought that she would meet him again. But she met him today. She was so surprised. 'Naruto... it's been two years since we last saw each other...' thought the girl.

Unknown to her, the seal on her hand appeared.

She kept gazing outside and thinking about him.

Suddenly in a yellow flash, someone appeared in her room. She quickly turned around.

"Who's there?" she asked. The shadow was covering his face.

He then walked out of the shadow.

"Hey... Touka-chan..."

His hair almost turn completely blond. Tears welled up in her eyes. "N-Naruto ..."

She suddenly got up from her bed and ran towards him.

"I am really sor-"

She hugged the boy. Tears started to soak his white coat.

"Touka-chan, I am really sorry that I couldn't come back earlier."

She girl kept crying.

"I shouldn't have left you again. But things turned out that way."

The girl separated from him.

"It's alright. I am just glad that you are back." said Touka.

Naruto wiped out the tears from her cheeks.

Soon the two of them were sitting on her bed. Naruto was sitting against the wall on the bed while Touka was sitting on him. Naruto was hugging her from the back.

"I think I was brainwashed by him." 'But why didn't he used Kotoamatsukami? When Zetsu showed me, he used that on me.'

"Yeah, you didn't even remembered me when you saw me today."

"Hehe ... sorry about that. I will just apologize you in this way.." he then kissed the girl on the cheeks. The girl blushed slightly.

"Man... it's been so long I haven't seen you." said Naruto.

"Yeah, but you didn't even recognize me during those times. So you didn't feel the pain called 'missing someone.'" she said with a deadpan look.

"Shall I kiss you again for that?" asked Naruto.

"Hmm... let me think... Yes I think you should." replied the girl.

"Alright..." he then kissed Touka on the cheeks again.

Naruto then saw that she was still wearing the necklace. "You are still wearing it, huh?" 'If it can even give my memory back, Zetsu maybe right. This plan may work.'

"Of course, this is the only thing you gave me."

Naruto just smiled.

"I am glad that Konohamaru finished the training."

"Yeah, he finished it about a year ago."

"Give this to Konohamaru tomorrow." he then took out a scroll and gave it to her.

"Oh ... okay." She put it down on a desk near her.

"By the way, where is Hinami-chan? I still haven't seen her?"

Touka expression turned sad.

"Well ... she ... she joined Aogiri last year."

"What? Why?"

"I don't know too. She just left a letter to say that she'd gone."

"I will go and see her one day."

The girl just remained sad.

Naruto decided to change her sad expressions. So he slid into the blanket bringing Touka along with him.

She turned towards Naruto. The two of them were cuddling close. Their foreheads were touching each other.

Naruto leaned nearer to her and rubbed his nose against her.

"You are so cute, Touka-chan." said Naruto. She just smiled. She was glad that Naruto was now back with her. After a moment of silence, Naruto said something.

"I love you, Touka-chan."

"I love you, too, Naruto."

The two then kissed each other and fell asleep...

Author's Note:

First thing first, don't ask me how he regained his memory or what that red fox and red circle is. That will be explained in later chapters. There is a huge mystery in this story. But that mystery will only be revealed near the end of the story.

And also I have an idea of another story. It will be like 3 crossovers. Naruto Tokoyo Ghoul and Attack on Titan. The story name maybe 'Shinobi, Ghouls and Titans.'

I am not sure about that story. But pairing maybe NarutoXTouka ErenXMikasa KanekiX(someone from Naruto) I am also not sure about that last pairing maybe TenTen. Don't know yet and suggest me who that girl should be if you have one. I only have some raw ideas (it means I only have idea about first chapter.) about that story, right now. So I am not sure I will write it or not. Anyway see ya in the next chapter.

Ja ne!
