~Unable~

Yu extends his hand and helps Naruto stand. Naruto catching his breath looks around at the beautiful scenery. Unable to think of something to say he laughs and scratches his head.

"A thanks would be nice." Yosuke said.

"Oh, yeah, Thanks." Naruto says quietly.

"What are you doing here Naruto?" Yu says seriously.

"I don't know. I could've swore I was in the actual world but.. I don't know anymore! The last thing I remember is trying to collect myself in a mirror at my house. There was something strange that happened though." Naruto says posing his fist under his chin. "My reflection just stared at me but I could tell it wasn't me. It felt evil and the eyes were yellow like the shadow we fought back in the gym." He says.

Everyone in Yu's team glances at eachother and back at Naruto.

"Did you really accept who you are?" Kanji asks.

"Yes. I accepted the fact I am Naruto. Y'know, believe it and shit." Naruto says agitated.

Everyone sighs in Yu's group.

Uneasy at the sighs Naruto says "What?"

"You didn't truly accept who you are deep down." Yu says pointing to Naruto's heart.

"So i'm guessing this is bad." Naruto says trying to be funny.

"This is not the time for jokes." Naoto says.

"This is beary serious." Teddy intervened.

"Is that all you say?" Chie said.

"Everybody relax!" Yu said raising his voice and returns his look on Naruto. "Your shadow has escaped and now we have to scour this whole world looking for it."

Naruto's expression saddens " Can't you just ask the hot girl to find it?" Naruto says.

Yu's tilts his head downwards "Do you mean Rise?"

"Yeah! That's her name!" Naruto answers.

All the ladies look at eachother.

"HEY!" Chie, Yukiko & Naoto all yelled.

"Rise isn't with us for now,she's on tour." Yosuke says.

"So she's a singer?" Naruto asks. "Now I know what to open with."

"Let's all leave for now, We'll come find you later Naruto" Yu says as Teddy summons the portal for them all to leave.

"Why can we never fight shadows together? You always send me home." Naruto says.

"This just isn't the time or place for this right now Naruto." Yu says pointing at the portal.

"Fine, but I'll text you about this soon." Naruto steps into the portal.

Naruto emerges in his bathroom at home. He walks out of the bathroom and turns to his room. Minato is in his room.

"What are you doing in my room." Naruto asks.

Holding a picture of Kushina, Minato says "I've been having them too you know."

"Having what?" Naruto says concerned.

"The nightmares." Minato says sadly.

Naruto's eyes grow big. Thoughts are racing through his head. Has Minato been seeing the same things, does he know about Yu and the others, does he enter the other world or does he just have nightmares? Minato sets the picture on Naruto's desk and walks beside him.

"Persona." Minato says quietly.

Minato continues past Naruto. Frozen with shock Naruto stands there as Minato goes down the stairs. Is he evil, is he good? What is his persona? Snapping back to reality Naruto runs to the steps.

"DAD!" Naruto yells.

Minato stops on the stairs and looks at Naruto.

"Yes?" He says.

"Are you good or bad?" Naruto asks.

Minato closes his eyes and smiles "Think of it this way, I'm not hanging out with you and your pals."

Minato proceeds down the stairs and out of Naruto's sight. Naruto enters his room and locks the door.

(How can this be?) Naruto thinks to himself.

Unable to clear his mind he tries his best to sleep. A few minutes later he fell asleep.
