Sakura was not supposed to be here. I wasn't supposed to be conscious. Naruto wasn't supposed to be a half fox. Mac wasn't supposed to draw a crowd. What will this all mean?

"Uh, Ichi? I thought your arms were supposed to be broken." Said Naruto.

*Flashback to Haku skewering my arms with billions of senbon needles.*

"Well, its not like they are going to last much longer." Said Ichi. 'If only I hadn't skipped the Wave arc!' Screamed Ichi mentally at his mistake. Zabuza and Haku were still alive, as Ichi had unknowingly at the time skipped the 'C' ranked mission.

"Hey, Ichi, I don't think she noticed yet, but do you think she could help me with my fox tail?" Said Naruto, looking over my shoulder at Tsunade who was conversing with Sakura and Jariya.

"I think you should say AFTER the mission" Said Ichi. 'The more stuff stays Cannon the better' thought Ichi, noting that his predictions are worth spit if the cannon isn't kept accordingly.

We heard Tsunade laugh, at which we both turned to face her.

"You are trying to learn the Rasengan? Don't make me laugh, the Fourth spent months to years perfecting that jutsu, and you want to learn it in a week?" She said, giving him a mocking smirk.

Naruto wasn't happy about that, and decided to speak up.

"What's that supposed to mean!? I can totally do it!" Naruto shouted. He got that look in his eyes too!

"I bet I can learn this thing a week! If I win, you be the Hokage!"Shouted Naruto, playing it smart not saying what he was betting.

Tsunade smirked, not believing Naruto was capable of it. "Alright, fine. I'll even throw in my necklace. If you win." Said Tsunaden pointing at the pendant with he thumb.

"You're on!" Shouted Naruto.

Tsunade and her caddy (haha) left soon after, Sakura having kept Jariya busy with difficult questions. I diddn't even have to know what the were talking about to know it was difficult stuff, seeing as how Jariya was quaking in his boots at her questions.

"Uh, Ichi, mind helping me train?" Asked Naruto, which caught me off guard. Me? Who wasn't supposed to be here?

"Uh, well I can't use my arms, or they really will be ruined for life. So..." I said, putting a hand around my neck, craning it and looking off towards Jariya who was now screaming for help with his eyes.

"Aw, come on Ichi! You just gotta help me a little bit!" Said Naruto, reminding me how old the kid was. Dammit! Shippuden get here!

"Ok, fine, but only to advise!" I caved, deciding that Naruto dose have a difficult task ahead of him, and this reward was too vital to risk.

"YEAH!" Shouted Naruto, fist pumping the air.

Mac POV

"This sucks, and I was about to get a lesson from Jariya!" Said Mac, inside a house that looked un inhabited.

"You diddn't honestly think he was going to teach you a technique? You are rouge after all."

"He diddn't know that! Besides, I got to get every ace I can get. Look at me! I lose another limb, people are gonna think I'm Frankinstine's cousin!" Said Mac, waving his mechanical arm and pointing at his black eye.

"Then why diddn't you just learn from the Akatsuki?"

"...what can they teach me that ISN'T some suicide kamikaze move?" Said Mac, crossing his arms.

Unknown to Mac, the kid who's room he currently resided in woke up and saw him. A guy with a metal arm and eyepatch. Guess what a 10 year old kid would react like. Yep, you guess right, he shrugged and went back to sleep. What? You thought differently? Its the ninja world. He is used to that stuff.

Mac jumped out the window of the room, then escaping towards the inn district. 'Maybe Ichi and Naruto went there to sleep?'

"It is pretty late, so I would bet on that too."

'Do you ever shut up? Its kind of disconcerting talking to a voice in my head.'

"I am surprised that you know the meaning of the word."

"Fuck you!"

"Anyways, I am still a person, so I do get bored. Commenting on your choices and watching the anime in your memories is pretty much all I can do."

"Hey! Stay out of there!"

At that exact moment, a thief tripped and fell 3 stories into a pile of trash, out cold. (Haha)
