Well lets go to the hospital and we can do it there because you will be asleep about three day from the shock of all the information." Kyubi said.
Everyone went to the hospital after the hokage sent word to Sakura mom that she would not be able to come home for a couple of days do to a mission. Once the hokage had got a room setup wth two bed and had one in each bed.
"OK here is what we need to do you each need to have an IV connecting you together, I will do all the seals and your blood will mix to help transfer the memmories so you will have to hold hands and lay still. After I finish i will tell the hokage and he can have someone heal your hands and Ibiki will gaurd you both until you both wake up." kyubi said.
Naruto and Sakura did what he said and he started seals after 200 seals they both screamed in pain and passed out. kyubi nodded to the hokage and the dissapeared in a puff of smoke.
1 day later
"Kit, Kit, wake up." Kyubi said.Naruto woke up inside the sewer that holds kyubi in the cage. After standing up he looks at the fox an asked "What do you want? How long was I out? The last thing I remember is we were getting ready to do the memory switch, now I find myself waking up here."
Kyubi looks at him and says "IT has only been 1 day so far but the reason I woke you up is because you are fixing to have company and she will wake up on her own. I did not want to frighten her when she sees me so I thought you could meet her. If you go the the entrance to you mindscape you will find her there."
Naruto turns around and heads to where kyubi told him to go. After a few minutes he finds Sakura past out on the ground but she is restless so you can tell she is about to get up. "Sakura, Sakura get up. Come on." Naruto taps Sakura on the shoulder trying to get her up. When Naruto finally notices she is awake he helps her up but something strange happens. There are two Sakuras. "Sakura, this my be a dumb question but why are there two of you." Naruto asks.
"That is because baka, I am her inner personality MWhhahahahhA." inner Sakura says note from now on inner Sakura will be refered to as ip3 . The other Sakura looks around for a second and says "OK, I admit I do have a second voice in my head and I can understand why there are two of me but, why are you here Naruto and where is here." Naruto just looks at them both, shakes his head and says "Well this is my mindscape where I can talk to kyubi, It has only been 1 day so far and kyubi told me I was going to have a visitor so he told me to come meet you, so I guess you both might as well." Ip3 is chewing on some popcorn dont know where she got it but if you watch the show she can pop things out of anywhere as she follow them and starts saying
"Are we there yet. Are we there yet. Are we there yet. Are we there yet. Are we there yet. Are we there yet. Are we there yet. Are we there yet. Are we there yet. Are we there yet. Are we there yet. Are we there yet. Are we there yet. Are we there yet. Are we there yet." until Naruto finally has enough and screams "Give me the deathgod over this can you ever shut up, Sakura how do you put up with her?" which was the wrong thing to say because Ip3 now has a hockey mask and a chainsaw crank and is saying "come here baka, I think you need a haircut, MWhhahahahha" while she is stalking Naruto through the sewer, Sakura just shakes her head and tells Naruto "At least shes in a good mood today. you should see her when shes gets moody."
At this point Naruto face pales and gets on his knees and begs for forgiveness. After getting ip3 to calm down they make it to the kyubis cage and Sakura is a little scared until Naruto walks over and puts his arm around her and tells her he wont hurt her. Meanwhile ip3 walks up to the cage and says "Hey furball want to have some fun. I always want a fur coat and a couple of new pairs of shoes. I think those claws would make some good ones, MWhahahahhaha." she says while pulling put a tomahawk and a skinning knife while looking at kyubi with a look of lust in her eyes that shows a person is totally psycho.
Kyubi backs up a little after looking at her and says "Hey kit, if some part of her stays after this is over, do us both a favor and summon the deathgod to take us both. I am just glad this cage is here. I may be the most feared of all the demons but she scares even me. EEEPP." as ip3 try to get into the cage while sharping her blades.
About an hour later after ip3 threaten to give kyubi a sex change and Sakura finally got over her fear of kyubi enough to get ip3 to settle and somehow pull out 3 recliners Naruto leans over to Sakura and ask "Do you know where she gets all this stuff. I mean she has to store it somewhere right." Sakura looks at him and shrugs her shoulders showing she doesnt know. At this point Kyubi with a mohawk on his head thanks to ip3 is sitting with his tails between his paws and says "OK, I know we dont have much to do until the 3 days are up so I thought I would show the two, I mmm-eeann the three of you a few memory of what origanally happened the first time around even though you will have both of your each memmory I will show you what I seen. But I will let you Sakura to pick what you want to know first."
Sakura thought it over a few moment and then decided she might as well try to find out what happen to sasuke seen she was in love with him so much. "Show me everything that happened to my sasuke" Kyubi looks at Naruto first and sees the hurt on his face that does not go unnottice by ip3 but kyubi shakes his head ok and after a flash of red light everyone starts seeing every memory kyubi had about sasuke. First he started with when the were in the accademy, then he showed how the teams selection, then he showed the training, sasuke insults, then he showed the mission to wave, at this point Sakura is still dreammy eyed but ip3 is starting to look at things a little different. Next kyubi showed the mission to tea and snow countries, then they got to the chunnin exam, lee beating sasuke, kabuto at the first exam, at which point Naruto lets a little growl come out, then they showed the forrest of death and the curse mark, then the preliminaries, Gaara and then shukaka, at which point ip3 starts glancing at Naruto, itachi, the fight on the roof, the promise of a lifetime, then sasuke defection and the valley of the ends fight including Naruto almost dieing, Sakura is starting to cry a little at this point but keeps watching, ip3 is getting pissed off. next they show another fight with Naruto and sasuke, then showed Orochimaru in sasuke body and him trying to kill them and eventually the death of the body. After that Sakura is in tears, Naruto gets up to try to comfort her and Sakura yells for him to leave her alone. After that she starts venting her anger at Naruto. Kyubi ask her "What do you want to see know"
Sakura still angry at Naruto want to hurt him for making her feel so bad for what he showed her and for messing with her life decides to use this chance to make him feel bad. "Kyubi I want to see every bad thing that happend to Naruto. I want to make him suffer like he just made me suffer." Ip3 steps up and says "Are you sure thats..." she never got to finish because Sakura cuts her off.
Kyubi looks over at Naruto agian and says "Sorry kit, I.." but Sakura cuts him off and demands for him to start. Sighing he starts, first he show Naruto in his dads arm looking at is mom body where she died from child birth, then showed kyubi being sealed, then an assasination attempt, then the abuse from the orphanage, then living on his own at 4, the beatings, the glares the abuse the destruction of his belonging, more assasination attempts, starving, digging thru garbage, a scence where Sakura is crying about 5 years old and Naruto goes over to help her and gives her a chance to impress the other kids by being mean to him instead of being mean to her, at this point Sakura is starting to feel a little bad, she remembered that a little bit, but ip3 is furrious at Sakura and the village, Naruto just looks on with an emotionalist face showing that he seen worse, next showed more abuse, the way parents made kids stay away from him, then after more hatred it showed Naruto in the accademy, showed the teachers abuse, tricking him with genjustu so the classes would laugh at him, ingorning him, more assasination attempts, mizuki, team selections where Sakura said she hated Naruto, then Naruto henge like sasuke and Sakura telling him why she hated Naruto, the team picking on him, more hate, demon brothers, zabuza, haku, sasuke near death, Sakura telling him no, the loneliness, the exams, sasuke, Akatsuki, "Kyubi please stop I dont want to show anymore right now please."
Naruto asked beggingly. "Sorry kit I wish i could but unfortantly I am honor bound to finish, for what it is worth I am sorry," kyubi said. Naruto looks defeatedly at Sakura and ip3. He then gets up and walks out of the cage room slow. Ip3 walks over to where Sakura is and they both keep watching with sadness in the eyes and hearts. the next seen they saw was Naruto being forced to leave to train, his battles, death of frineds, his near death, destruction of konaha, the death of all the men, the final battle and the death of everyone and then Sakura sacrafice, finally the glares and hate that he recieved since he came back.
After everything was showed Sakura was unable to cry anymore and looked defeated because she did not know what to do. Ip3 on the other hand was busy burning all her sasuke fan club poster and shirts and started working on designs for Naruto fan club. She also made shadow clones to setup target stumps for her and and making them look like all of her future enemies with a look of bloodlust in her eyes. Sakura walks over to kyubi cage and asks "was his life really that bad or was all of this some sick joke."
Kyubi growles at her and says "Look, what you saw was nothing compared to what he went thru and he would almost never admit but if you truly want to help go look for him. If you want to really know if it was that bad on him look around you know. you see this area how it is like a sewer, his expierance in life changes the scenery and as you can see this place is not some nice medow or a five star resort. Dont worry you cant get lost everthing here leads back to either the entrance where you woke up or here. Go look for him and try to talk to him. You might be suprised."
Sakura listen to kyubi talk about Naruto with respect and started thinking "I did not know he had it that bad... I feel sorry for him... I was being a jerk earlier, its true, the only thing I think about is Sasuke and I see where that got me, I dont know what I should do, maybe I should listen to the fox and go talk to him..."
"I agree with that, and dont think I can hear you thoughts just because I am not inside your head, I am still a part of you" ip3 said. Sakura looks over at her other self and is mad at first but calms down after seeing her point, so she heads out to try and talk to Naruto.
meanwhile in the hospital room
"How do you think its going Hokage sir?" Kakashi asks.
The third says "I am not for sure but" before he is interupted by a knock at the door. Ibiki walks over to the door to check to see who it is. "The third sent for a letter for me to come and I was told he was here." Jiraiya says as he is let into the room. After seeing who it is the third goes over and starts saying "It good to see you got my letter. I know this is unusual but there has been something that has happened and i need your help. As I know you already know who the boy is and what his legacy is over thier" pointing to Naruto in the bed and seeing him shake his head yes "well, believe it or not we got a second chance thanks to the kyubi"
Jiraiya looks at him like he is crazy and starts to say something but the third interupted him and continued "see that boys body is only 12 but he is actually older than that, see kyubi and him use a time travel jutsu to come back to try and change the past. He has told us about a war coming who are actually spies here, Orochimaru killing me, you teaching him Rasengan, summoning, bringing Tsunada back to be the fifth, how she treats him as a little brother, Akatsuki, the other sealed demons, the destruction of Konaha, and also he has shown us the reason for kyubis attack, and based on the that info, we were lucky."
"OK, I can understand everything you say but the attack by kyubi. How can you say we were lucky." Jiraiya asks. "Simple read this scroll for summoning foxes he gave me before they began and look at the last two names." the third said as he handed the scroll to Jiraiya . After a few minutes of reading over the scroll and figuring out what happened he ask "what do you mean they began and who is she whats going on?" the third smiled at that and says "If you also want to know whats going on Tsunada you might as well come in that window?"
"How long did you know I was out there?" Tsunada ask as her and shizune come in the window.
"Every since you arrived before Jiraiya . Now let me go ahead and answer your question Jiraiya. See, her name is Sakura Haruno and believe it or not she was his fiance from his future. Because she had to go into his mind and help kyubi save his life once a few weeks before he came back she let Kyubi keep a record of all her memmories, knowledge and experiance so incase something happened to her, he could give that knowledge to the child she was carring at the time. Right now, she agreed to get her future memories to help us fight, but she also wanted his memories so that I am worried about. The reason I wanted both of you here is in the near future after I died you both took one of them as an apprentice, the third member of their team betrayed konaha and joined Orochimaru to be trained so he could kill his brother Itachi, we are working on changing that already. Instead of be trained by Kakashi here, we have him training sasuke one on one to make him think he is special and make it harder for Orochimaru to get his hands on his body. He finally figured a way to switch bodies and it is very dangerous for us." the third said.
back in the mindscape
Sakura was walking around the sewer in thought trying to figure out what she is going to say to him. While walking she hears someone crying and starts to follow the sound. When she finds Naruto he is sitting with his head between his knees crying softly. She feel bad and says "Naruto look I" but she is cut off as he jump to his feet and turns his back away from her, then after a moment of silence he says "Dont worry about it Sakura, the past is the past and we are ninja, ninjas dont have emotions. we are weapons, being a ninja is not a job, it is what we are. I am sorry to cause you so much pain, if I could do it on my own I would. The last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you, goodbye" as he starts walking off. Sakura is at a lost for words, she is thinking what do I do... I dont know anymore...I thought I loved sasuke but...and i never really paid attention to Naruto...this is so hard...maybe I should go back to the fox and talk, he know Naruto better that I do. with that she starts to head back to the cage room.
When she got back she got a suprise, ip3 was treating the human version of kyubi to a candlelight dinner. "Thats it, I can not take it anymore, where the hell are you getting all of this stuff and why are you having a candlelight diner with the fox." Sakura asked.
ip3 responded by saying "Well you cant have all the fun with Gias, besides hes sweet if you get to know him. Besides if you would of ask to see Naruto favorite moments you might find out you like him. Now where were we kyu." Kyubi just looked at ip3, gave her a wink and ask "Do you think she would want to see what I showed you."
ip3 smiled an evil grin pulled out a bucket of popcorn handed it to Sakura and sayed "watch the show. me and kyu are going to walk around. enjoy." and with that ip3 put her arm around kyubis and they took of walking while a video started playing overhead.
The next day in mindscape
Sakura had been looking for Naruto for a few hours now and was trying to come to terms with her feelings. The only thing she has decided on is that they were going to talk and maybe give him a chance at a date to try it out. She starts noticing the area she is walking into has changed from the usual sewer to that of a small forest. After walking in the forest a little while she comes up on a small medow beside a lake.She sees a large stone off to one side of the medow and decides to sit on it to rest a little while. When she got on top of the stone and was looking around she notices someone floating on top of the lake. She stayed there and watch him for a little while trying to sort through her feeling. Suddenly the lake disapeared and the woods returned to sewer as Naruto woke up.
"Sakura I know your there. You might as well come out of hiding I can smell the cherry blossom from your perfume." Naruto said as he set up and laid agianst a wall. Sakura walk over and sat down beside him and said "That was a very lovely scenery. Is it a real place or just something you imagined."
Naruto looks at her for a moment and said "It was a real place. I was just dreaming about something. So what brought you here, I mean beside the memory transfer." Sakura looks at him and says "I dont know, I felt bad about ...you know." Naruto starts looking at the ground. "I... see, dont worry about it. There is no...reason to worry about it. You know, I probably should of just tried this by myself and not gotten you involve. Im sorry I did not mean to hurt you." Naruto said as he stood up and started to walk away. "Naruto STOP" Sakura yelled as she got to her feet and walked over to him.
"Listen, I dont want you to walk away from me right now. I could use some company. This is a lot to take in at one time and I just dont know what to do or...Anyway, I was wondering can you do that agian with the scenery change agian."Sakura said.
After Naruto change the scenery back to the way it was earlier he walked over to the edge of the water and after a bright flash his clothes changed into nothing but a pair of swimming trunks, then he walked into the water and started to swim. Sakura saw him do this and walked to the edge of the water and yelled "SHOW OFF. I DONT HAVE A SWIM SUIT SO I CANT SWIM" and then she crossed her arms and started tapping her left foot.
Naruto saw this a laugh a second then said "While we are in a mindscape like this anything you have a memory of you can change you clothes and or appearance to show it. That is how I change the enviroment and my clothes. I tell you what I will turn around and let you give it a try and I wont turn around until you say I can ok."At this point Naruto turned around in the water away from Sakura and she walked behind a tree and tried it. To her suprise it worked and now she was wearing the 2 piece swimsuit she always wore at the hotsprings. After seeing everything was cover and nothing to revealing she went and slowely got into the water to swim. After she was neck deep she told Naruto he could look now.
They swam for what seemed like hours not saying a word until they both got out of the water and sat on the shore. After a little bit they change back to their original clothes and Naruto asked "are you hungry" seeing Sakura shake her head yes he closed his eyes and after a few second two ceasar salads with ranch dressing appeared in Naruto hand. He handed one to Sakura and said "Enjoy. I know its one of your favorites because you like to look your best" Naruto change the scenery to the top of the hokage monument at sunset and they sat on the fourths head sitting quitely. After they finished eating Naruto started feeling tired agian so he ask "are you tired I could change the area agian so that you have your own bed to sleep."
Sakura looked at him confused but shook her head ok. After another flash of light the area changed agian to that of a 2 bedroom log cabin. "I trained here for 2 months during my 3 year training away from Konaha, if you want to freshen up before laying down there is a nice bathroom fully stocked. I am going to change and goto sleep. Agian im sorry for having to hurt you by doing this. You should probably wake up in your own body tomorrow with the memories but you might have one heck of a headache." Naruto said sadly.
Sakura had just finish showering and changing into some sleep clothes when she heard Naruto crying. She slowly went to his room and looked inside. She saw two Narutos, one was in a bed crying in his sleep while the other was beat badly with a whole in his chest, sasuke was standing over him gloating saying something about he would do anything for power so he can kill his brother even if he had to give his body away to some bloodthirsty madman, then there was another flash and Naruto was standing at the gates of konaha and an older Sakura is telling Naruto how she told sasuke she loved him and he still left and Naruto made a promise of a lifetime to bring him back for her. Then it flashed to Naruto in the hospital talking to some tall woman telling her he had to get out of the hospital so he could keep his promise to Sakura, then it flashed to some 30 villagers attacking him saying it was his fault as a demon that sasuke left, then once more the scenery change and sasuke is holding Sakura hostage and Naruto called him oroch-something and said he would sacrafice himself as long as she did not get hurt. Then sasuke charged a black lightning attack in one hand and a sword came out of his mouth and flew toward Naruto stabing him in the stomach, then sasuke hit Sakura in the back of the head and charged Naruto, a whitehaired man jumped in front of Naruto and took the strike. Naruto had a red glow come around him and attack sasuke, they fought for what seemed like hours and then Naruto was able to kill him by grabbing the sword that hit him in the stomach earlier and cut sasuke head off then he did a massive fire and wind attack and destroyed the body. then there was another flash and Naruto was back at the place where they swam earlier but this time Naruto was pushing the stone Sakura had first set on over a grave for the whitehaired man. Next he carved a name that said Jiraiya , friend, teacher, father figure, leader and super ultra pervert, may all the beautiful woman in heaven be at the hotspring you visit. After that he walk over and picked up a sleeping Sakura and carry her off. Then it flash to a hospital room and a sleeping Sakura laying in bed and the tall woman from earlier is crying on the floor next to Naruto. with that Naruto stop crying and turns over in bed and the room is back to the way it was. Sakura closes the door and goes to her room and tries to sleep, eventually she falls asleep.
She woke up a little later hearing Naruto calling her name so she runs to his room and sees he it a fetal possision on his bed crying. She cant take him suffering anymore so she runs over to his bed and holds him. He calms down after a few minutes and stutters "sa-Sakura, wh-what are you doing here?" he says with a confused look on his face. She sees how sad he is and her heart is breaking, she leans in and whispers "Its ok im here for you, dont worry you wont be alone agian, I promise. I love you Naruto-kun." with that she leans into a romantic embrace and kisses him. While they are kissing a bright flash appears consuming both of them.
