Ok i sort of write these chapters in a daze and forget what I put in them, so if I mess anything up like that please let me know.

Sakura had put the kool aid dye in Naruto's hair and used a hair dryer to heat it. This would speed up the dye and only have it take an hour. As all that time passed, they sat in silence. Naruto wasn't in a very talkative mood after being beaten by Sakura. After an hour they removed the kool aid mixture from Naruto's hair.

"What the hell?? Naruto did you really want this..." Sakura inquired.

Naruto's hair was a dark sold red color. Almost as dark as Gaara's would have been if Naruto could remember who he was. Naruto was happy with the results, but another side of him was also sad about missing his old look.

"Yea its cool! Now no one will recognize me," said Naruto.

"Well that's definately not a problem now, it should wash out in a few days though," gasped Sakura. I can't believe that worked...It looks so wierd!

Naruto began laughing as he looked in the mirror. Sakura joined in too but was interrupted by a growling sound from Naruto's stomach. It was about 3:00 in the afternoon and Naruto and Sakura hadn't eaten since around 10:00.

"I NEED RAMEN NOODLES!"

Ichiraku Ramen, within minutes it became Naruto's favorite place again. He ordered so much ramen that Sakura was almost about ready to leave him with the bill. Almost. Naruto had consumed a number of bowls that the guy behind the counter could only realize who he was. Before he had a chance to say something Sakura had put the money on the counter and carried Naruto out.

...

"Sasuke! Where do you think you're going?" Kakashi asked.

Sasuke had not realized that Kakashi had been watching him. How creepy.

"I'm going to train...What else would I do?" Sasuke scoffed.

"That's not what I think. I think I know what you're going to do."

"Really, and what would that be?"

"Well, it's obvious. Naruto has returned. I doubt you want to be friendly like Sakura is. You want one thing from Naruto, but I won't let you take it....He doesn't know he's a ninja Sasuke," Kakashi's voice began to lessen from it's accusing state, "He doesn't remember. If you go and let him know, I don't think Tsunade will be very happy."

"Maybe I'm missing something. Don't we all want Naruto back to his original self? Why are we changing him then? What's wrong with him figuring out that he's a ninja?"

"Hmm. To be honest it's not a great reason. We just want Naruto to live normally. Think about it, his whole life he was treated badly. Now he's like a different person and he can start again. If he finds out he was a ninja on his own and decides to continue down that path, good for him. Right now I think Sakura is trying to slowly get him back to normal by keeping him from being overwhelmed. Trust me she's a smart girl she's tricking Naruto into doing what the old Naruto wouldn't."

"What? That doesn't make any sense."

Kakashi disappeared and left Sasuke to continue walking to the training grounds. I know he'll be drawn to that place.

...

Sakura and Naruto wandered aimlessly for about 10 minutes. Naruto had been thinking during this time.

"Hey Sakura, since no one would recognize me can't I just run around aimlessly like a lunatic?" Naruto asked.

"Yea I guess but then I'd look real stupid trying to follow you," Sakura's fears had just come true.

Naruto began to run down the road. Instantly people looked at him like he was insane. Whoa! How is it possible that I'm this fast! I mean, I remember running to the village, but not like this. Is there some sort of strength returning to me? This is awesome...but I gotta get off the roads.

Naruto jumped about 20 feet into the air, once again amazed. He landed on the rooftop of a random house who's residence didn't seem to care. He spotted a large clearing in a small of what looked like a park. It had three logs sticking out of the ground like posts. Naruto decided to go there and sit beside the middle post. Sakura eventually made it too, but she had to catch her breath.

"Naruto...that speed isn't even human...." she muttered to herself.

Naruto had realized that this small forest's clearing was a larg pathway. He had decided to press on, but Sakura wasn't too happy about that.

"Naruto! Slow down, where are you going?" she asked.

"There's a large cool looking rock over there, I want to see it."

"No stop Naruto!" Sakura didn't know what he was talking about. Cool looking rock?? What?? Who thinks rocks look cool. --Wait-- She looked over to find the ninja monument and Naruto just running towards it.

By the time Sakura had caught up to Naruto, he was already staring at his name.

"Naruto Uzumaki...'KIA'" Naruto recited. "I'm dead? OK! I want some answers, obviously something big has been kept from me."

Sakura tried to think of an excuse but he arrived.

"It means you died. You were killed on a mission. Akatsuki weren't even involved so I don't know how you got mixed with them." Sasuke stood with a smug look on his face.

"Why would I be killed on a mission??" Naruto asked.

"Man, you really are stupid aren't you. You're a ninja. You were in our group. Me and you went off to finish something, something stupid. I remember you said you would be back after we split. But you never returned. We tried finding you but you just seemed to have vanished." Sasuke's voice changed as he said this.

Naruto knew what was going on, "Yea right, I just 'vanished'. I know what happened! YOU TRIED TO KILL ME. You wanted to get the Mangekyo Sharingan. I had a dream that I overheard Tsunade talking about it. I don't know what it is, but you have to kill me to get it."

Sasuke was taken by surprise. I had no idea he knew.

"Well it still doesn't matter, I may have tried to kill you. But I won't do it now, Kakashi is watching. Somewhere he is. Right now I just want to fight. I wonder how strong you've become, you run pretty fast. Don't worry I won't use any jutsu. I know you can't remember them. It's just for fun, remember that..."
