Chapter 3: The upheaval

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

"Wha-what's going on?" Standing there was a motionless, confused teen. Was this all real or was he just seeing this?

Team seven stood in front the blond teen as they were about to enter the room. Ino was just as stunned as the teenager. What the-?! There are TWO Narutos?! She thought puzzlingly.

"What the hell-?!" Ino blurted out.

The older blond began to settle himself down, it must be a genjutsu! He thought as he joined his fingers. "KAI!"

Nothing.

No event took place except the silence of the hospital room.

"KAI!" He yelled again.

Still nothing. The rest of the ninjas began to wonder curiously what this boy was up to, "What is he doing?" Sakura whispered to her team as the teenager continued his occasion.

The pink konoichi then turned her attention to the blond girl, "Ino?!" The blond konoichi focused her eyes on her rival, "What are you doing here?!"

"I came here 'cos I spotted Naruto in the hospital. So I came into the room and he woke up."

The teen Naruto paused whilst he realized what he's doing is not affecting anything as of the moment. "What is going on?" He questioned.

"That's what I was about to ask!" Said Ino, "Why are there two Narutos?"

"Two Narutos?" Sakura spoke, "What are you talking about? There aren't two Narutos!"

"Hello forehead girl! Are you that blind?! Naruto number one," Ino pointed her finger towards the blond next to Sasuke, "And Naruto number two," she then turned her finger to the blond teen.

"That's not Naruto! That's the stranger we found earlier!" At least, I don't think he's Naruto…

"What? That can't be right!"

The blond teen received a massive headache from the arguments coming from the two konoichis. I gotta get outta here, he thought; I need to think. With that, Naruto unnoticeably escaped out the window while the others were turning their attention to the rivals.

The teenager softly, with his feet, landed onto the ground. He took a deep breath and concentrated to his surroundings, this place doesn't seem any different and I don't feel a jutsu taking over me…he began walking; I've got to find a place to think. A sudden rumble approached from his stomach. Naruto blushed slightly, well I can't think on an empty stomach hehe…Naruto turned his head, Ah just the place I needed!

Back at the hospital, arguments still took place from the two konoichis.

"I'm telling you that that's Naruto!" Ino turned her head expecting to find the young teen, but ended up to realize he was gone. "Hey, where did he go?"

"Kakashi-sensei's gone too." Said Naruto, eyeing the areas.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

"Hey, old man!" the young, blond teen greeted energetically, "One miso ramen and make it a double please!"

Teuchi, the owner, turned his direction from the cooked noodles, "Welcome Naru…to." He eyed carefully at the blond, "Is that you?"

"Who else!?" Naruto chuckled, "After what's been happening today, I can eat hundreds of bowls!"

Teuchi laughed audibly, "Okay. Miso ramen coming right up!" Naruto smiled gleefully, "Although," the old man began, "I think my eyes are starting to get too old for me. For some reason, you look a bit different,"

"Different? How so?"

"For starters, you're wearing a different outfit today,"

"Different outfit? I've been wearing this for about two years now!"

Teuchi blinked several times, "What about you're headband?"

"Now that I think about it, I don't really know where it disappeared to…"

The owner had added the finishing touches to the ramen, "Here's your meal, enjoy."

Naruto split his chop sticks in two, "Itadakimasu!"

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Even though I feel a bit different around this place, Naruto thought as he walked out of his favourite restaurant, Ichiraku is still the same, thankfully!

The blond teen looked up to spot a familiar, silver-haired sensei walking towards him, "Kakashi-sensei?"

The jounin was a bit taken back by the teen's words, -sensei? How did he even know my name? "We need to talk." The book loving teacher spoke.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

"Now what?" Ino and team seven stood outside the hospital, confused of the earlier occurance.

Naruto's stomach suddenly roared with hunger; hehe, guess things have been so strange lately I didn't get a chance to eat. Well, off to Ichiraku's!

"Where's he heading off to?" Sakura spoke.

"Who cares! All I wanna do is get home and sleep; so when I wake up tomorrow morning, this will all be a dream!" Ino said as she walked off.

Sakura sighed but then lit up with excitement, That leaves me and Sasuk-...The konoichi began rolling her eyes to the area; wait! Where did Sasuke-kun go?

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

"Hey old man!" The young blond boy spoke enthusiastically as he entered the ramen shop.

Teuchi turned to see the young boy with the familiar orange jump suit, What th-? How'd he get changed so fast? "Naruto? Back again for more?"

"I'll have a miso ramen please! And extra pork, I didn't get a chance to eat today."

"But wheren't you just here a minute ago?"

"What're you talkin' about, old man? This is the first time today I came here."

...eh?..."Um, weren't you just here with a different outfit? And your headband was missing...?" Naruto blinked several times, the owner shook his head, "Nevermind. Here's your meal." He spoke as he passed a bowl of ramen to the young blond, I need a vacation...

"Talk about what?" Spoke the blond teen as he leisurely walked down the streets of Konoha, talking to the jounin beside him.

"I'll start with the basics..." Kakashi replied as he stopped and faced the blond genin, "Who are you, and how do you know my name?"
