As someone has mentioned, 'dattebayo' doesn't mean anything in particular, and is simply something that Naruto adds to the end of almost every single sentence that comes out of his mouth. 'Dattebayo' doesn't translate to anything in particular, and is mainly for emphasis (kind of like a 'HELL YEAH!' sort of thing).
I use 'Dattebayo', because, it is the best identifying factor of Naruto's speech pattern, like how 'Chandarou!' is Inner Sakura's word. And on top of that: I watch fansubs. I hate the fact that in the English Dubbings of Naruto, he shouts "Believe it!" at points where it makes little or no sense whatsoever (horrible, horrible translation. If Sakura can say Cha! then Naruto can say Dattebayo! sheesh...)
So seeing that this is a fanfic, this is what I hear, and this is what I imagine...just that all the speech is in Japanese.
further notes: I learn Japanese off Fansubs. I can't remember how to spell everything. Bushy brows, and Billboard Brow, were the translations given, and Sakura isn't called Billboard Brow often enough for me to pick it up. Bushy Brows on the other hand was, but I just can't spell it properly, and am too lazy to go look it up.
It was recess, and everyone was already talking about the classrooms newest event. Uchiha Sasuke, the Uchiha Sasuke, was friends with the Uzumaki Naruto! This was unheard of to their six year old minds. The cool kid, who didn't really talk, didn't just suddenly one day become best friends with the kid at the bottom of the class who always, for no reason whatsoever would shout 'Dattebayo!!" at the end of each and every sentence! They went everywhere together, not really talking, they were just there.

This new friendship was surprising, but teachers were seeing the good side of it. Naruto was no longer the absolute last. That was Nara Shikamaru; it seemed as if the Uchiha boy was helping the Kyuubi kid improve his skills, which was a good thing. People hoped that since his marks had gotten better, he'd stop playing so many pranks.
However, that was not meant to be. You could take the boy from the bottom of the class, but you couldn't make him change his ways…Besides, the class clown did have a…not so positive influence on the silent Uchiha prodigy. The two of them collaborated in setting up elaborate pranks for the teachers…
Iruka rubbed his head where a rather large rock had hit him on the head. Since when had Naruto gotten that good at hiding trip wires? He glared in the two boys' direction. Though their faces were completely composed, he knew it was them. It seemed that Sasuke not only improved Naruto's ninja skills, he had also taught him how to keep a straight face.
"Alright you two, enough with the acting. I know it was you," growled Iruka stopping them before they left the class room at the end of the day.
"What makes you think that it was us, Iruka-sensei?" asked Sasuke, shoving his hands into his pockets, looking up confidently at the Chuunin instructor.
"Who else could rig up that rock from the ceiling?" returned Iruka.
Naruto and Sasuke laughed.
"How would we reach the ceiling?" they laughed childishly. Iruka shook his head.
"I saw you two climbing trees…"
Who could have taught those two that? They had spent three whole evenings after school running straight up trees. Where had they learned such excellent chakra control? Naruto had been hopeless at first, but now he was as good as Sasuke at that exercise. Those two were advancing at a frightening pace…Next thing he knew, they'd be walking on water and using elemental techniques. Well, Sasuke could already do one, Iruka knew.
He had heard about the little boy who accidentally set fire to the training ground #27.
"Tree climbing has nothing to do with pranks, Iruka-sensei! This is a prank!" grinned Naruto hugely.
"Henge!!" he cried.
Iruka fell over his nose spurting blood, and all the while Sasuke laughed, as Naruto turned back into a little boy.

Walking home, Sasuke found himself arguing with himself yet again. His six-year old consciousness just wanted to have fun, and make Kaa-san, Nii-san and Tou-san proud. His fifteen year old mentality wanted to beat the crap out of his Nii-san and he couldn't give a damn about his Father. From what he remembered on both sides, his male parent had never shown any true sign of affection towards him.
He's always disappointed in me, because I'm not like Nii-san…his six-year old psyche mumbled to itself.
You should be pretty damn glad you're not Itachi, grumbled the older Sasuke back, That old man must have been the reason why he murdered everyone…
Hey! I'm glad that you've been showing me how to do all these cool things, but stop insulting my family!! He heard an indignant six-year old voice shout at him.
THEY'RE MY FAMILY TOO AND I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THEM AGAIN!!!! He roared at the child him. That shut himself up. This was sooooooooo weird…
Now he felt bad for yelling at himself…Great, talk about awkward. Normally when people beat themselves up over something, they didn't feel sorry for themselves. But in his case, when there were two very different, and very similar mentalities, he supposed that made sense for him to feel sorry for his child mentality.
What was he? A psychiatrist?!?
He was Uchiha, freaking Sasuke! Konoha's Number One Rookie Ninja, of Hatake Kakashi's Team 7!! Well, technically he wasn't anymore, but he had been…or at least imagined he had been…imagined that he had formerly been…
DAMN this was so complicated!!!!
He heaved a sigh, and just walked home in mental and physical silence. For now, he'd just concentrate on getting back all his skills. Sasuke had found, during some of his exercises with Naruto, that he didn't have as great strength or stamina that he used to/ imagined he used to have…He wasn't as strong or enduring as an older person, of fifteen years. Sasuke had to build up all his muscles and his chakra to levels that he could at least perform a few decent jutsus. In that aspect, Naruto was amazing. Even at six years old, his stamina and his strength were exceptional. This power obviously came from the Kyuubi, but in that aspect, he was stronger than Sasuke. At least, now he could understand and use his power. Well maybe not understand, but he could at least use his chakra now…sort of.
Sasuke had tried to teach Naruto Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Grand Blazing Fireball), but Naruto had proven hopeless. It was sort of to be expected…Naruto was after all a Wind-chakra type. Wind wasn't always Weaker than Fire though. Sasuke could easily remember the time when Naruto had hit him with his Fuuton Rasengan Shuriken…That had freaking hurt, and it wasn't as if all of Sasuke's fire techniques could have saved him…
If Naruto wanted to hit you, you must have really deserved it…he heard his younger-self sulk. Sasuke had to agree with himself on that part. He had deserved it, and much more…He looked up at the sky.
Shit…it was getting late. He broke into a run. He wondered what Kaa-san had made for dinner…he hoped nothing with red beans…

Naruto couldn't help but constantly look over his shoulder at the people behind him. Sasuke was better at ignoring them than he was. Probably because he was used to have people looking at him.
No matter what Naruto did, Sasuke was always better than he was at everything…except the thumb wars and rock paper scissors matches. Naruto always won those, until Sasuke would use his Kekkei Genkai. It wasn't fair…It wasn't fair that some people had special powers and others didn't.
I think you've got your own special ability too Naruto…You just have to look at yourself in the mirror a couple of times…
Sasuke had said that when he had tried to teach him something his Father had taught him. When Naruto couldn't do it, and had wondered aloud how Sasuke could do it so well; Sasuke admitted that he had practiced like a madman, trying to seek approval from his 'meanie of a parent'. Naruto felt that having parents was better than having none, but then again Sasuke's father ignored him despite his best efforts. It was almost as bad as having no one to praise you at all.
"Hands off! He's mine!!!"
"No, he's mine! Find your own man Billboard brow!!"
The two girls who sat behind them during class were bickering again.
"Ino and Sakura again?" whispered Sasuke from the corner of his mouth. Naruto gave a slight, squinty-eyed nod, leaning forward to rest his head upon the desk. Those two were always fighting over Sasuke…It wasn't fair. How come Sasuke got all the girls, dattebayo? Naruto didn't really care about the fact that his friend was like a chick magnet, but was mainly concerned with the fact that Sakura liked him. Naruto liked Sakura. She was really pretty, and she was nice…when she didn't hit him and call him Baka Naruto…
Sasuke nudged him slightly with his elbow, motioning discreetly towards the door. A special Jounin guest teacher was supposed to be coming in today. To test this new teacher's skills, Naruto and Sasuke had set up a few traps. With only a few steps, the teacher would have the Blackboard Eraser Door drop, paint can shower, curry powder bombs, and if he made it all the way to the desk, explosion tag trip wires…
This was going to be AWESOME!!!
8.8.8
Everyone knew that Naruto and Sasuke-kun had set up some traps as soon as Iruka-sensei had left. Sakura knew it wasn't a good thing to play pranks on teachers…but it would be soooo awesome chandarou!!!
Calm down…Calm down…It's just yet another of Naruto's stupid pranks…but he's got some pretty damn good ones!!!
It wasn't like they were actually going to work. This was a Jounin for crying out loud. There was no way he was going to fall for any such dumb kiddy pranks like this…
Footsteps echoed down the hallway as their special instructor made his way towards their classroom. When he was just in front of the door, he seemed to pause for a moment. Everyone held their breaths. Had he noticed? A hand appeared around the crack in the door, and pulled it back, as a head emerged from the hallway. PLOP!
Blackboard Eraser Door Drop Trap!!
The pale purple haired Jounin took a step forward…to push against a thin, nearly invisible trip wire, which sprung the next trap.
Paint Can Shower!!
Sakura wasn't really sure if the Jounin had purple hair or not, because now it was mixture of green, black, yellow and red. Everyone began laughing, except for Naruto and Sasuke, who had perfectly composed expressions plastered on their faces. Sakura understood immediately, and calmed her outward appearance.
The best was yet to come!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Suddenly, from one of the ceiling lights, a hundred tiny little brown balls, stuffed chock full of dangerously spicy curry powder came tumbling down on top of the paint covered Jounin.
More roars of laughter, as the man tried to shield himself from the onslaught of mini bombs…It was useless, as the balls exploded on impact, spreading the powder everywhere.
The teacher stumbled towards the desk, and an explosion rang through the air, as a string of explosion tags ignited…
Maybe they had over done it…just a bit… thought Sakura, when the smoke cleared. There was nothing left. No evidence of a body. Just a black smudge on the ground.
"I knew it…" muttered Naruto softly, "He didn't fall for that one dattebayo…"
"He's better than we thought…though judging by the fact that it's gone…he doesn't know about the…" Sasuke answered just as softly. Sakura didn't catch his last few words, but it gave her enough information to conclude that all was not over yet.
Amidst the hilarity of the young would-be ninjas, a man with his face covered half-way by a mask, and his right eye covered by his forehead protector…with pale purple hair, walked into the room.
As quick as a flash, the laughter stopped, but no one had the opportunity to wipe the smiles off of their faces quickly enough.
"You three, pink-haired girl, Uchiha-boy, Ramen-kid, you will be exempted from this classes detention after school," he said. Sakura felt faint. Had she just been excused from a punishment, and Ino hadn't?
SCORE!!!
I get to be with Sasuke-kun after school!! She thought, mentally twirling around in circles with hearts for eyes…

Almost... If it hadn't been for the slight trail of curry powder on the floor, he would've walked in without suspecting a thing. The small pile of chalk at the door had also helped…but Paint Can Shower? Explosion Tags? That was taking it kind of far. It was a bit hard to think that all these little kids were all such good pranksters, or had all co-operated so well…Iruka must have had a hand in it…or he had just been really slow…
Maybe he shouldn't have spent an extra hour in front of the memorial…
Obito…these kids are almost as bad as you were…he thought silently to himself.
Slowly, he walked towards the desk.
"My name is Hatake Kakashi. I am your Jounin instructor for today…and my first impressions of all of you…" he paused. What to say? What did he think of them? He sat down on the chair.
"I…Ow…"
They got him…Thumb tack. That was it…this is why he hated teaching…He was never going to pass another kid again…
"I hate you guys."
"It wasn't us!!!" shouted all the kids at the same time. Kakashi had to cover his ears from the noise. How could they all be so loud?? Kids really were evil incarnate…and packed into tiny little boxes too…
"It wasn't us!"
"We didn't do anything!!!" "
"I am so sorry Sensei!! I couldn't stop them!"
"It wasn't my fault!!"
Kakashi sighed.
"Alright settle down, settle down. So if you guys didn't do it, then who did?"
In unison, all hands pointed towards the dark-haired Uchiha kid, and the Kyuubi boy.
"Naruto and Sasuke did it!!!!" they all roared together.
The two of them looked incredibly hurt and indignant.
"Why would we ever want to do something as terrible as lay traps for a teacher?" shouted the Uchiha kid.
"Yeah!! We were looking forward to this class dattebayo! And you guys all ruined it!!!"
Actually from what he had heard from Iruka, it probably was Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto who were those responsible…but lying was a good ninja skill…and these two seemed to have perfected that. On top of that, the thumbtack…that was ingenious.
"Very well then…Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto…would you care to demonstrate Bunshin no Jutsu?" he asked. From his information, Bunshin no Jutsu was both of their worst techniques…
Surprisingly, a grin passed between the two of them, as they stood up and moved up to the front. Though their walk seemed careless, he noticed that both were avoiding certain areas of the room…He'd best warn Iruka…but it might actually funny to see what they had rigged…
"Who wants to go first?" he asked.
"I will."
He's confident, this Sasuke…much like Itachi in a way…just nowhere near as creepy. Thought Kakashi.
"Bunshin no Jutsu!!" he shouted.
When the smoke cleared, Kakashi was thoroughly impressed.
Twenty perfect Bunshins…What has Itachi been teaching this kid? In an instant, all of them disappeared.
"Good. Uzumaki, you next."
The Kyuubi boy had a huge grin plastered on his face, as well as the Yondaime's signature squinty-eyed smile.
"Alright! Here I go! Watch and be amazed dattebayo!!" he shouted for the whole world to hear.
"TAJUU KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!!!!"
Kakashi's eye widened in shock. What the hell?!?!? There was no way… no way that he could actually pull that off! He was six-years old!!!
Loud popping noises were heard, and when the smoke cleared, there were at least five hundred young Uzumaki Naruto's in and around the room.
"HOLY CRAP!!!" Kakashi exclaimed shocked, "WHERE DO YOU GET THE CHAKRA FOR THIS?!?!?!"
This was completely insane!! Thought Kakashi incredulously, as all the Kage Bunshin's disappeared. How could a six-year old have that much chakra?!?! It was impossible for a child to control the Kyuubi, even if it was sealed within him! The Yondaime's seal was impregnable. Where had he learned to do that anyway?!?!
He noticed Sasuke smiling at Naruto, almost like a proud parent. Oh you couldn't be serious…
"Alright!" smiled Kakashi, though no one could really tell, "Take these two as an example. Class is dismissed. And don't forget the detention!" he said cheerily, as he vanished from the room.
He seriously needed to talk to the Hokage about this…
Sasuke allergic to Red Beans note: In the episode in which Itachi is seen for the first time in Konoha, he and Kisame are hanging out in a tea shop. Kakashi, Kurenai and Asuma are outside, and Kakashi has apparently invited Sasuke to accompany him somewhere. You see Itachi's finger twitch, and then Sasuke shows up, looks at the sign and says: "Red beans. I can't eat them. I'm allergic'. Then the camera goes back to the table where Itachi was and they're gone. The point of this all being: Sasuke is allergic to red beans.
