I watched Emiko and Kakashi-sensei jump off the building and running after Ryo. I was pretty confused. First I find out I have an older brother, even if he is insane (-_-#). Second, I ask if he wants to go have ramen, and he freaks out. I wonder why he has that reaction though, I'll have to ask Emiko, seeing as if I ask Ryo, well he'll freak out.

Seeing as I caused the problem I raced after then, hoping I could help in any way. It didn't take long for me to find Ryo, Emiko, and Kakashi-sensei, seeing as there was a path of destruction leading toward then.

I jumped down and landed next to Emiko and her wolf, well apparently it was Ryo's wolf. Ryo was in the middle of punching down some trees that he was claiming were... Getting in the way.

Kakashi-sensei looked at Emiko and asked, "Do you know how to calm him down without knocking him out?" She nodded and sighed.

"I thought I would never have to use this again." She took out a scroll and bit her thumb, drawing blood. She swiped it across the scroll and muttered something I couldn't hear. I heard a POOF sound and a cloak of smoke surrounded her. When the smoke cleared she was holding one hand to her mouth, the other was holding a brown jar.

The wolf, I think she said her name was Riki, yelped and ran over to Kakashi-sensei, dragging me with her.

"Hey! Wha-..." I exclaimed as she pulled me away from Emiko. I saw Emiko walk over to Ryo, who had punched through his 13th tree. She walked behind him and unscrewed the lid.

I could smell it from here. It smelled like a mixture of mint toothpaste, rotten fish, burning wood, and strangely marshmallows. I gaged at the smell.

"Ew, what the heck is that!" I cried out.

I saw Ryo standing still for a couple of seconds before falling over. Emiko sighed and closed the lid and the smell slowly went away.

"You weren't suppose to knock him out." Kakashi-sensei sweat dropped.

"Just wait a couple of seconds." She responded. As if on que, Ryo shot out and looked around. He seemed to stare a nothing for 5 seconds before saying.

"What happened here? Did someone have a temper tantrum?" I sweat dropped before trying to say

'You did all of this...'

But Emiko cut me off. "Yeah... It was a pretty bad temper tantrum."

Ryo just replied. "Oh, okay makes sense."

Emiko walked over to me and Kakashi-sensei and whispered so we could only hear, "Ryo never remembers his rampages, so just say some kid threw a tantrum, k."

We nodded, "Hey Ryo, would you like to go out for some barbecue?" I asked carefully I case he had some grudge against barbecue too.

"Yeah that sounds good!" He said with a cocky smile, "but..." He faltered. My heart sunk, did he not want to spend time with his annoying little brother...

He looked at Kakashi-sensei. "But I can't get up! For some odd reason I have like, NO CHAKRA!" He complained. I sweat dropped. I looked at Emiko and she was just rubbing her forehead mumbling things like: 'annoying, stupid ramen, man... Ryo'

She walked over to him and motioned me to come. I followed her and helped her pick up Ryo. She supported his left side. And I got the right.

"Yep can't feel anything below my chest!" He said... Happily? Suddenly Ryo got tired and fell asleep as we carried him too a restaurant. I looked at Emiko for an explanation. He didn't use that much chakra did he?

"Don't worry," she whispered. "Me and him already had low chakra when we got here, cause we traveled all night to get to Konoha in time. Then he decided it was a good time to punch down 13 trees with an excessive amount of chakra, he was putting wwwwaaaayyyy to much chakra in those punches... But no Ryo actually has too much chakra, it's crazy how much he has."

"You guys talking about me?" Ryo said sleepily.

"No we are talking about Master Isamu." She replied.

"Hm, you're right he does have a lot of chakra." He yawned. "I'm jealous of the old dude..."

I'm just going to ask them to explain what their talking about at dinner.

"Just be glad he hasn't had any sake recently..." Emiko sighed

Ryo's pov:
I woke out when Emiko dropped me. "Ow." I said. "You're mean Emi..."'I looked up and saw we were at a barbecue place. "Oh we're here!"

Emiko sighed. And I just smiled like an idiot. I looked up to seeing Naruto walking nervously has we were lead to a table. We sat down and ordered. I was about to order some sake, when Emiko scolded me and told me no, pft what ever. -3-

"So Naruto," I stiffened a yawn. "I'm guessing you want some answers, and I would like to get to know you. Sooo let's play 20 questions!"

Emiko rolled her eyes and said. "You can make a game out of anything can't you, and I'm the student." I grinned.

"Let's start! Naruto... What's your best jutsu?" I said.

"Easy! Shadow clone jutsu." I smiled, I'm glad he didn't grow up too fast. "My turn, why did you leave?"

I sighed, "straight to the point I see... Well you see Naruto, our parents died protecting you. Well mom died giving birth, and dad died cause you were born in the middle of a battle. And 10 year old me had a problem with holding grudges. I left because I was unstable, nearing insanity you could say. I left because with feared that I would kill you. And I was afraid." My personality was becoming serious. "So one day I went to the Hokage and asked for time off, a change of scenery, new people and places. So you see. I left because I was fearing the safety of a person I cared deeply about." I looked at him.

His face seemed to understand, he went to ask another question but I said, "HEY! It's my turn!" He looked shocked and motioned me to ask something, I saw his eyes light up with humor at my personality change.

.

"Okay! Emiko's turn!" I said happily. This time Naruto AND Emiko burst out laughing, I smiled at the 2 people that meant the world to me. My younger brother, and a girl I felt to be my younger sister.

"Riki I think Emi has gone insane..." I mumbled to my wolf, that just made then laugh harder.

-time lapse: at the training grounds-

I walked onto training ground 13 and looked at my watch. 8:30, I was officially 30 minutes late. I walked up to the tree I saw Hayate and Asuma sitting under, they seemed to be talking, probably annoyed that me and apparently Kakashi were late.

"Yo! What's up!" I said with a grin. They both stood up with different reactions. Hayate just chuckled and muttered things along the line of 'Ryo you never change'. Asuma on the other hand was fuming.

"You told us to get here at 8 and YOU come 30 minutes late! I expect this from Kakashi but when did you get your internal clok broken?!"

I chuckled at Asuma's reaction. I walked over to them and we started talking about what's happened since I left. Let's just say I was pi$$ed to find out how they've been treating my brother. I was about to rage and maybe destroy something when Bakashi poofed in and said.

"Sorry an old man was being attacked by some mean kids and I couldn't just stand there and watch could I?"

We all looked at him. I walked over, looked him straight in the yes and simply said.

"Good for you Kakashi."

I think everyone sweat dropped.

.

.

We talked and spared the rest of the night before Emiko walked over and said. "Hey Ryo-sensei, it's getting late, let's go!" I looked at my watch. 1:47. Wow it's that late already!

"Okay Emi!" I called back. I walked over and called back to my friends. "Nice seeing you guys, let's do this again another time." And poof to a random forest in the village.

Me and Emiko found a large tree and "claimed it" as our temporary house... Pretty much we called dibs. We found branches we wound use as our "rooms" and put our bags/scrolls in the "kitchen".

I sat on my branch and looked at the night sky for awhile. Finally I fell asleep, at about 2.
