The next day Junshin stood in front of Tsunade and Shizune with Aoba, Hanako and Satori. Tsunade was getting ready to send them out on a small mission.
"This will take you very close to the Sound/Fire border. Be careful not to run into any Sound ninjas." Tsunade said.
She handed a paper to Aoba. Aoba nodded and they all walked out of the room. They weren't far down the hall when Aoba passed the paper to Junshin. As his fingers touched the paper he looked as if he was going to faint again. Aoba caught him.
"Junshin are you alright?"
Junshin steadied himself and looked up at the concerned face of his teammates. He looked over and saw that Satori was holding him and Hanako was gone.
"Maybe you ought to go see the Hokage."
"Perhaps you're right."
Junshin walked back into the office of the Hokage. After explaining his situation to the Hokage she had him sit on her desk as she checked him over.
"Any nausea or blurred vision?" Tsunade asked.
"No. However I did experience some dizziness earlier today at my birthday party."
"Sounds like you are having some of the side effects from the concussion."
Junshin gave her a confused look.
"Maybe you are thinking of someone else. I have no concussion."
"Junshin. You came in here this morning complaining about a ringing in your ears. I checked you out, you had a concussion. You don't remember any of this?"
Junshin shook his head.
"Temporary memory loss is common for this kind of injury. You said that on your way back from your trip you were attacked by a group of thugs and that one of them hit you over the side of the head."
"I was never attacked by any thugs."
"What about the bump on your head?" Tsunade asked.
"There is no…"
Junshin ran his hand over his head and felt a small lump.
"What is going on?"
"Junshin. I know this can be very disturbing for you but your memories will return. The best thing you can do is settle back into your normal routine but slowly."
Junshin looked distressed. He didn't know what else to do but go with it.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama."
"Let me know if you have anymore feelings of dizziness."
Moments later he caught up with Satori and Aoba. To his surprise they weren't on their way out of Konoha and Shuji was with them.
"Hey, I'm ready to go on this mission."
The other three looked at each other then back to Junshin.
"What mission?"
"The mission that Tsunade-sama gave us not too long ago."
"We didn't get any mission." Aoba said. "Do you know of any mission, Satori."
"No, Aoba-sensei I don't."
"Tsunade-sama gave us a mission to the Sound/Fire border. Go to her yourselves."
"Junshin, are you feeling alright?" Aoba asked.
Junshin sighed. "No. I'm going to go back to my place now.
He turned and walked off leaving his confused and concerned friends behind. Shortly later, he was in his apartment ranting to Tenten about his day.
"So you think that everyone's memory in the village has been altered but your own?" She asked.
Before he could answer there was a knock at the door.
"Come in." Junshin said irritated.
Satori opened the door and walked in. He nodded to his sister and turned his attention to Junshin.
"Junshin, I want you to know that we checked with Tsunade-sama and there was no mission to the Sound/Fire border.
Tenten looked from Satori to Junshin
"That is not right. I was certain…"
Junshin began to faint again. Satori and Tenten went to catch him.
"What's wrong?"
Junshin stabilized himself once again and looked around. He noticed that the painting that Masaki gave him was on a different wall.
"Tenten, Satori. The painting that Masaki-san gave me, it has moved."
"Junshin, I hung that painting there. At your birthday party, remember?"
"No." He said.
Then he looked back at the painting and saw that it had changed again. This time it was of the Leaf symbol.
"The painting has changed again. Don't you see it?"
He looked even more confused now. Tenten wasn't wearing her typical white top and maroon colored pants. Her shirt was the same but pink and her pants were green.
"Your clothes. They have changed as well."
"Junshin, maybe you should come with me to the hospital."
Junshin began to faint again.
"NOW, JUNSHIN." Aoba ordered.
Junshin came to and saw a battalion of Sound ninjas heading their way right outside the gate of Konoha. Junshin was confused . He didn't know what the order was. Tsuku looked at Junshin.
"What are you waiting for? Detonate the bomb."
"What bomb?"
