Chapter 3
Old Feelings

The next day at school, Naruto was still tired from the night before. Even though he got four to five hours of sleep, he still yawned. He was the first one in the class room, one of the first ones in the school for that matter. Naruto didn't expect that, but he still went to his class room, when he sat in his chair his head nodded as he slowly drifted back to sleep.

"Naruto-kun?" The blonde heard a familiar voice, but he wasn't paying attention to it. "Naruto-kun?"

Naruto's bleary eyes opened and all he saw was pink, his eyes drooped a little. "Sakura-Chan?" He asked, but he rubbed his eyes only to see the angry look of his girlfriend Kari. "Kari-Chan, what's going, why do you look so mad?"

"Who is Sakura?" She asked, Naruto thought back, first he thought if he said Sakura's name. Then he thought of if he told Kari about her, maybe he did, but probably not his feelings that he had for her. The feelings that he never got to explore due to him dying, but not dying and instead coming here. He decided that this should just be nipped in the bud, and tell her. But he couldn't, for some reason he couldn't say what he wanted.

"No one, just someone from, you know where. Remember I told you she was my team mate? She had pink hair, and all I saw was pink. Plus I am pretty tired." He answered her, maybe he should have told her the fact that Sakura was more than just a friend to him. At the same time, however, he didn't want her to worry about those feelings. She was important now, so that's what matters. Right? Besides Sakura was gone, and not coming back.

She nodded, she seemed to accept that answer, he wondered though why he didn't tell her. He's sure Kurama might have a word or two to say about it, but the fox was silent. He shook his head to get rid of those thoughts. Soon TK came into the room and sat next to his blonde friend.

"Hey, so what was up with that request last night?" TK asked. Kari perked at this.

"Oh yeah, that." Naruto paused, he wondered if he should tell them about what he learned from Datamon. TK doesn't know him but knows of him, so he might understand that part. But how will they take to his mission tonight? He wondered if he should tell them, they probably will want in, Kari would force her way in, like she would always do when it came to dangerous stuff. He wanted her to stay out of harms way as much as possible. If she goes with him to infiltrate a base, she will either get hurt, or not be able to keep up with him. Perhaps both. He shook his head to clear it. He decided to tell a white lie. "I just went to the digital world last night. You know to try and find out what I could about those spires."

"Well, what did you learn?" TK asked.

"Oh, um." He paused longer than he should, trying to think of something. He should be good at lying right? Deception was a trait of a good ninja. "Nothing much, just that they give off energy. Probably to power the rings, but that's all I got." He shrugged, happy he came up with a reasonable excuse.

"I'm glad you found that out Naruto-kun. We may be able to use that, we're going back today after school and I think Matt is coming with us." Kari was happy for the blonde.

"So you're going back again today? Wish I could come, but with the festival coming up my hands are tied after school. But I plan to go tonight after the meeting." Naruto answered.

"But we were supposed to go see that new movie. I've been wanting to see it for a while and wanted us both to experience it." Kari disappointedly said.

'I'm sorry there are more important things to do.' Is what he thought, he wanted to spend time with her, but the movie she wanted to see was kind of sappy. For his taste, but he didn't say that he couldn't. "I'm sorry Kari-Chan."

"It's okay." She hung her head.

Naruto leaned next to his friend to whisper in his ear. "Can you do me another favor?" Before TK could ask what it was, Naruto jumped ahead of him. "Kari, why don't you see it with TK? The two of you haven't hung out in a while."

"What?" TK asked, but Naruto elbowed him in the side, and gave him a 'help me out here' look. "I mean, sounds fun." He grinned awkwardly as he laughed just as awkwardly.

"Are you sure you wouldn't mind?" She asked her boyfriend.

"Nah, it's fine, you two are friends and should hang out." He knew how much she wanted to see the movie, this way she could see it, he got out of seeing it, and he gets to go to the digital world without them knowing exactly why.

"Okay." She hesitated at first but agreed.

"Class settle down, settle down. A first is happening this year, two new students within the same month." This got everyone's attention, Naruto was curious as to whom it could be, but at the same time he was pondering his problems. "Class, please help me welcome Sakura Haruno."

Naruto's head shot up, this didn't go unnoticed by his girlfriend, who gave him a curious look. Naruto's jaw dropped when he saw clad in a red baby T that showed her figure, a green mini skirt and black leggings. She had a red band in her unique pink hair that went down to her mid back, two bangs on either side of her head framed her face. Even her emerald green eyes were the same and on her feet were white yellow-ish sandals with a pink flower on the strap. "Hello everyone." She stated, her voice was mirror image, everything about her was the same as the Sakura in his old world. Everything about her was the same, from her voice to her hair, even the red shirt was homage to the girl.

Kari stared at her boyfriend, then looked to the girl. She thought about what he had told her, and wondered if it was the truth or not. She noticed that all the boys were checking out the girl, but she didn't think her own boyfriend would be. She didn't know who this Sakura was, but for the first time Kari was envious of someone.

"Now unlike Mr. Takeru who had a chance for the orientation, I expect the class rep to show her around." The teacher looked to Naruto, "Mr. Namikaze, would you mind doing so? This is all new to her and she may need to know where things are before the day continues on. The two of you are excused." Naruto stared at him for a second, then looked to the girl, then to his girlfriend, who was giving him a glare. He never really seen her glare at him before, her brother yeah, the TV sure, but him? He's never been on the receiving end. "Is there a problem, Mr. Namikaze?"

"No sensei, none." Naruto stood up, "As class rep I welcome you to the school, I hope you enjoy your time here."

"Thank you Naruto-san." Sakura said with a smile.

XxX

Naruto and Sakura were walking through the quite halls, he has yet to show her anything. His thoughts were too focused on what she was doing here, were the others here too? Did Tsunade or Kakashi send her here? How did she de-age? What was going on?

"Uhm, Naruto-san aren't you going to-"

"What's the deal huh? Did granny send you? Was it Kakashi-sensei? How did you get here, how were you de aged? Why are you here? What do you want from me?" Naruto let out all his questions, he didn't mean to, it sort of just happened.

Sakura had a genuine look of shock, she had no idea what the blonde was talking about. For a second she thought he was a mental case. But then remembered that he was class rep, if he was then what kind of school would make a crazy person class rep. "Uh, what?"

"Don't play innocent, I am actually having a nice time here, I have my mom, my dad. You should know how important that is to me. I'm leaving all that behind, so just tell them no." Naruto angrily stated.

Sakura, she was never one to be embarrassed or accused of anything, especially something she didn't do. "Now see here, I don't know who you think you are, or who you have me confused with. But I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. When I moved here from Osaka-"

"Wait, did you say Osaka?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, what? Want to accuse me of making that up too?" She asked.

Naruto thought for a moment, a memory coming to his mind, probably Kurama jumping in to help out. Naruto does recall Kurama finding new memories every day. But it was one from when he was seven going on eight. It was the summer before he and his parents had moved here. It had been from Osaka. He remembered his mom, and her friend from medical school. She had a daughter that was around his age at the time, if the memory is correct, then the image in his mind's eye helps the girl's case. It's of him, practicing Soccer, he had just finished a warm up when a girl his age with pink hair handed him a flower. She blushed and immediately went to hide behind her mom who was talking to his mom.

"Sakura-Chan," This caused the pink hair girl to freeze, she too was hit with a similar memory, but it was of the one where they were parting ways. They made a promise to not forget each other, but in the years that went by that promise couldn't be kept. They had both forgotten.

"Naruto-kun?" She asked, using the suffix that she did when they were kids. He nodded and she wrapped her arms around him. "Naruto-kun, it's been so long." She stepped back and looked him up and down. "You've really grown, a lot."

"You did too." Naruto looked her up and down, when she caught him looking at her chest he turned away with a blush. "Sah-sorry about before. I've been having these, these uh, crazy dreams the past few nights. And I guess you were in them."

"Well, I think that isn't uncommon. There have been cases of people mixing dreams with memories and memories with dreams. For some it's hard to distinguish which is real and which is not." She stated, causing the blonde's jaw to drop. "Ha, ha, yeah, well with a mom whose a doctor, and a sister who is in an internship as one. You tend to pick up a few things." She chuckled sheepishly.

"You have changed, beautiful and smart." Naruto blushed when he realized that he was thinking out loud. "I mean uh, let's uhm get on with the tour. He he." He was laughing awkwardly as well. This caused the girl to laugh to, they shared in it. Naruto took her to show her around the school, when the bell rung, she knew where to go. With a good bye, and a hug. They went their separate ways.

Naruto, who was feeling pretty good, couldn't help thinking. 'So Sakura-Chan is here?' Naruto asked, he thought she was sent here by Tsunade or Kakashi to bring him back. But that was squashed when she revealed that she had no idea what he was talking about. Plus Osaka, him being from there, sparked a memory. So what did that mean.

"It means that she is the Sakura of this world." Kurama said in his head.

"Kurama?" Naruto said out loud, but other students gave him funny looks. He went to the bathroom to escape their gaze and to get some privacy. Sitting in a stall he decided that he should think what he wanted to ask. 'What do you mean?' Naruto asked in his head with his eyes closed.

"I mean what I said. She is the Sakura of this world. You know, you should know seeing as how I know what you do." Kurama had a point, whatever the fox knew about this world Naruto knew, so if he had it figured out then he should be able to.

'Uh…' He had nothing.

"Oh for the love of- String theory!" He shouted interrupting himself.

"Huh?" He accidently said, but shut up afterwards. He listened to know if there was anyone around. No one made a sound. 'Huh?'

"Nice save." The fox dead panned. "String Theory, the theory of separate but similar dimensions and universes?"

'Oh yeah. I get it now, Sakura is this world's Sakura, because what some scientist said is true. That it is possible of their being a copy of you, but different, in other dimensions. But hang on, if that's true, then could the others be here?' Naruto thought.

"Hard to say, could be, could not be. She could be the only one, scientist could be only half right." Kurama stated.

'Then, is there a version of me in this universe?' Naruto thought.

"I think your him, maybe when the sovereigns brought you to this world. They knew that there was a version of you here. But you were younger, then the old version of you. Maybe, in order for you to exist, they replaced the version here with you. Gave you that Naruto's memories and knowledge. Maybe they did it on purpose, and maybe they did it by accident. Some do think that if two of the same beings are in the same space. That only one can exist, if that is true then you took the place of the other you, and gained his memories." Kurama summed up a very, very, deep thought.

'Uh, yeah, maybe. Or maybe someone is actually controlling all this. Just thought of the idea and decided to put it in rather than going back to change it because they were too lazy.' Naruto thought with a dead panned look.

"You're right, I am over thinking things. It's like saying the old world is just some popular TV show and manga created by some trolling Japanese guy. And that we're just characters in some story that is based off that show. That is being written by someone who has way too much time on their hands. I need some sleep, night." With their thoughts concluded and information that should not be discussed, because it was just too complicated; Naruto decided to leave the stall and go about his day.

XxX

Naruto had to admit, he was starting to like this whole being downloaded thing. When he got to the digital world that night, he relished the scenery around him. 'The digital world always looked good at night.' Naruto looked to his partner, "You ready to do this buddy?" Wormmon nodded. He grabbed his partner, and placed him on his shoulders, he then pressed the button on his wrist. They were covered in white, and Naruto didn't even feel his atoms being broken apart. When he re-materialize he was in the lab of his digimon friend.

"So, are you ready to do this Naruto?" Datamon asked, turning to him.

"Huh?" Naruto asked, he was so focused and ready before, but for some reason he lost his consciousness.

"What's wrong boy? Is your head not in this?" Datamon asked with concern etched on his face.

"No, it's just that something weird happened today, a ghost of sorts from the past and I'm just conflicted I guess." Naruto answered, "But I need this. Something like this will help clear my head."

"Okay," Datamon gave him a look over before he grabbed some things. "Here slip these on to your hands." He threw Naruto what appeared to be clear plastic gloves, the kind you would wear if you were cleaning a toilet.

"Uhm, what are these?" He held up the items.

"Put them on, then I'll tell you." Datamon instructed.

Complying with the order, Naruto placed the gloves on his hands, when he did they glowed white. Then the gloves started to constrict around his hands, tightening then loosening then tightening again. "Ow, damn what the hell?" Naruto cursed, then the gloves stopped, and upon inspecting his hand he noticed that the gloves were gone. "What happened to them?" Naruto asked aloud, not really directed to Datamon.

"Those gloves operate like your plates on your shoes do. You can use them to stick to any surface, upon will, and they will amplify your punches and jabs like the plates increase your speed and kicks." The techno digimon explained.

"Whoa, really? Dude." Naruto couldn't help himself, he went to a wall and placed his fingertips upon it, then his shoes stuck to the wall as he was climbing up the wall and to the ceiling, to hang upside down. Naruto looked to his partner, "Check it out Wormmon now we both can climb walls." Wormmon smiled and crawled up the wall to stand beside his partner. "Datamon have I ever told you that you're awesome?"

"Not today." Datamon chuckled. "Now get down here, I've got one more thing for you before your mission." Naruto willed the plates on his feet to let go, then flipped in the air to land in a crouch on the ground, and like a good ninja he did so without making a sound. Right after Wormmon landed on his shoulder, as gracefully as he could. "Here you go." Placed within the blondes hands were small perfectly round balls. "Doesn't every ninja need smoke bombs?" Naruto's eyes lit up, he threw one down in front of him, with a pop, black smoke filled the space. Once it was cleared the blonde was no longer there.

"Thanks Datamon." Naruto said from behind the digimon, this caused the digimon to shout in shock.

"Don't do that!" He stated pounded his chest to help his heart.

"Sorry," Naruto laughed, "Couldn't help myself."

"Well, use them wisely and sparingly, they might come in handy for this mission." Naruto nodded. "Okay, stand over there on the transporter. I'm going to send you as close as possible to where the base should be." Naruto nodded at this, and then Datamon threw him a small ball like device. "Put that in your ear, it will let us communicate. Now it won't work right away due to the EMP, so your first job is to shut down the security. I'll be able to send my spy drones in to survey the base and help you find the main computer."

"Sounds good, thanks Datamon see ya soon." With that Naruto was enveloped in a white light, his atoms whisked away.

In a second Naruto was at the edge of a tree line, in front of him was a grassy field. He surveyed the area, checking for any signs of an enemy or controlled digimon. He looked to his partner and lowered his voice, "To be safe, I'll instruct you with signs, and signals, just like the old days." Wormmon nodded, he knew that the two of them had to be as quit as possible, even the slightest of sounds could be dangerous for them. After all they had no idea what laid ahead of them in the base. Which Naruto has yet to see. 'Okay, so no base in sight, and Datamon did say this was the location of the drones last transmission before it was shut down.' He concluded that this could be where the EMP was, hopefully his digivice would work.

He took a step and as he feared his digivice was not responding. 'Great, if we get in deep Wormmon can't armor digivolve. So to do that we have to first take out the security system.' He dashed forward his movements sound being lost in the wind. The first chance he got he remained in the shadows, which happened to be right next to the entrance.

As expected it was guarded by two champion digimon, Veggiemon. He spied the Dark Ring around their torso. He took out two Kunai from his pouch and threw both at the black rings. They struck, and before you could say their names, the Veggiemon were free. Naruto threw his thumb out to the side, silently telling the digimon to get out of there. They listened and ran away from their post. Naruto took out his phone, it was off as well, but he only needed the reflection of the black screen. He used it to see around the corner, to find that there was only one hall way that went off to the right. No digimon of any kind was in it, with that figured out and his phone back in place, Naruto ran down the hall silently. His eyes remained opened for any kind of security office or computer of any kind.

As he continued on he heard something from the distance, a sort of hopping sound. He leapt up and stuck to the ceiling, crawling over to a spot that would hide both him and Wormmon. Coming down the hall were two more Veggiemon, they appeared to be heading for the entrance. 'Shit, if they discover the other two missing then that means they'll set off the alarm. But I didn't notice any kind of lever of sorts.' He then had a thought. 'What if they have to go to the security room to alert whoever. If that's the case then I may be in luck.' He started to follow them from the ceiling, and keeping to the shadows. 'I just hope my luck doesn't run out.'

'Why are we headed back to the entrance? And why hasn't Naruto freed those two yet? Does he have a plan?' Wormmon pondered from his perch upon Naruto's shoulder.

The two did indeed lead Naruto and his partner to the entrance where they discovered the two guardsmen missing. "Crud, we have a security breach. Quick you head to the Security room and see what you can find. I'll search for the intruder." The one on the right instructed the digimon on the left. The other nodded then went back the way they came, Naruto following their every move. Only when a fork came up ahead the one with the task of getting to the security room went off to the left, whereas the other went to the right. Naruto too went left and followed the Veggiemon down the hall to the destination Naruto needed. He followed the digimon inside the room and waited for him to access the security computer. When he did is when Naruto let his presence known with a kunai that took out the Dark Ring. "Go get out of here." Naruto ordered to which the digimon heeded.

The blonde went to the terminal to see that it was still accessed, upon studying it there was an option for security shut off. Not questioning a gifted horse, so to speak, he clicked on it. Then a sound that a computer would make when shutting down was heard. He pressed his finger to his ear. "Datamon, come in, do you copy? Security is shut down."

"Copy that, okay my spy drones are almost in the base. Get somewhere safe and out of sight before you're spotted." Naruto nodded and leapt up to the ceiling. He found an air vent and decided to use it. After removing the panel he climbed in and replaced the panel thanks to Wormmon using his sticky string to hold it in place. He crawled through the air shaft waiting for Datamon to give the order. A few minutes went by, and still no word yet from Datamon. He wanted to maintain radio silence until the control room with the master computer was found. But not one to just sit around, Naruto decided to get out of the vents and try to find the room himself. He crawled out of the shaft and dropped to the floor, he immediately found shadows to hide in as two more controlled digimon ran by. He breathed out a sigh of relief, 'so far so good.'

WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY?
Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!

Naruto suddenly looked to his pocket where his phone started to go off. He looked up to see multiple digimon turning to look at him. "Oh fuck me." He cursed.

"There's the intruder, get him." Naruto turned and ran, his phone still going off.

"Hello?" Naruto answered while running, he didn't even check the caller ID.

"Naruto-kun, what's wrong you sound tense." The voice from the other end came in.

"Kari-chan? Oh is the movie over already?" He asked acting as if he didn't have a horde of digimon on his tail.

"We went to an early showing, it was good. I would like to talk to you about it, maybe we could try seeing it tomorrow." Kari suggested.

Naruto ran to a dead end, he turned to see the horde of digimon coming in hot on his tail. "Oh this is not good." Naruto said not realizing it was into the receiver.

"What was that?" Kari said irritated.

"Oh, nothing uhm, let me put you on hold for a minute." Naruto put the phone on mute. "Digi Armor energize." Naruto shouted, in seconds Ketteimon was standing before him. "Remember don't hurt them, just destroy the rings." Naruto took the phone off mute. "Sorry about that, so what's up?"

"What are you doing?" Kari asked.

"Nothing, just trying to fight off a horde of brainwashed Veggiemon, can I call you back?" Naruto stated nonchalantly.

"Do you need help? Me and TK can be there soon." She offered.

"No, its fine I'm good, with Ketteimon here I should be fine." He looked up to see that Ketteimon had released the last digimon from their control rings. "Hey, so I'll call you back, I gotta go now. See ya tomorrow at school."

"Okay, well I'll talk to you later then. Bye." Naruto didn't notice the sound of pain in her voice, but he was too busy trying to figure out an escape plan.

"Naruto more are coming." Ketteimon stated.

"Looks like it's time for a ninja vanish." He took out one of the smoke bombs and threw it in front of him and his partner. When the smoke cleared, the incoming digimon had no target. They looked around, but none noticed the air vents as a sound of someone crawling in them could barely be heard.

'Note to self, on missions put phone on silent.' He then started to hum the song that was his ring tone. 'Damn it, why did I pick that song as my ring tone?'

"I believe your reasoning was that it was ironic. Right?" Kurama added with a chuckle.

'Oh, who asked you.' Naruto thought annoyed.

"Hey kid, I found the room." Datamon's voice came from the earpiece.

"Where is it?" Naruto asked putting a figure to his ear.

"Take the next left," Naruto did so, "Okay, now go along that vent way for a few more meters."

"How will I know when to stop?" Naruto asked.

"I'll let you know." Naruto obeyed and crawled down the vent for the specified amount of distance.

"Jeez now I know what a TV diner feels like." Naruto joked as he kept crawling until his ear radio came on.

"You're there kid; now quietly drop down into the computer room. My scanners show that there isn't anyone in there." Naruto obeyed and silently took off the grate, just to be sure he surveyed the area. There wasn't anything in the room other than the computer.

Naruto dropped down into the room and went over to the terminal. "Okay so now what?" Naruto asked.

"Just find a USB port and the drive will do the rest." The digimon said.

"Okay found it." Naruto put the drive into the port and just like Datamon said it started its download.

"Okay, judging by the information I say you have about five minutes before that drive is done." Naruto let out a sigh of relief.

"That's good, maybe I can call back Kari-chan." He thought to himself, just as he was about to dial the number his pone went off, this time on silent, but it was his mom who was calling. "Hello?"

"Hi honey, how's the movie?" Kushina asked.

"The what?" Naruto wondered out loud, then he remembered that he never told his parents that he wasn't going with Kari to the movies. "It was good."

"Oh, is it over already?" Kushina asked.

Naruto cursed himself, "Yeah, I'll be home soon."

"Okay, well hurry home, your father and I have a nice surprise for you."

"Okay mom, see ya later." Naruto hung up the phone.

"Uh, Naruto you got company." Datamon stated over the earpiece.

"Oh no." Naruto turned to his partner, "Okay, here's the plan, Wormmon you're going to armor digivolve, and then we stop the incoming digimon while we wait for that drive to be done." The digimon nodded, after a quick call the digimon became his armor form and with Naruto fought off the horde of digimon. When it was over, which wasn't long, He put a finger to his ear. "Is it done yet?"

"Yeah, it should be good to go." Naruto went over and pulled out the USB drive and slipped it into his jacket pocket.

"Let's go." The now Wormmon leapt to his partner's shoulder after which Naruto pushed the button on the wrist watch. The two glowed before they started to break down into little pieces.

"Welcome back." Datamon stated after turning around in his chair. "Was it fun?"

"Not the words I would use, but yeah." Naruto handed him the drive. "Here you go."

"Thanks, now let's see what we got here." He placed the drive into his computer and got to work. "Hmm," He hummed, "It will take some time for me to decode this."

"How long?" Naruto questioned.

"Maybe a week, two tops."

"Two weeks?" Naruto was shocked he thought the digimon could do better than that.

"That's the case, well see ya kid, I need to get to work." He said never looking away from the computer.

"Alright, keep in touch, let's go Wormmon." The blonde and his partner left the lab.

XxX

"Ah, finally I can relax." Naruto sighed out as he opened his door to his home. That's when he heard the boisterous laugh of a man.

"Oh, Naruto sweetie you're home." Kushina said standing up, from the door Naruto could see a blonde haired woman and a tall man with pink hair, who was the one laughing.

"Uh, yeah, uhm who are they?" He pointed to the two adults.

"You remember the Haruno's don't you? You used to play with their daughter, now where is she?" She looked around the area.

"Hello Naruto-kun." Naruto heard a sweet voice that really took him back.

"Sakura-chan, I wasn't expecting to see you here." Naruto stated shocked, he closed the door to the place and took off his shoes.

"Yeah, well my parents wanted to meet up with your parents and they brought me along."

"Oh, so you two have seen each other already?" Sakura's mom asked.

"Yeah, she was at school earlier today and is in my homeroom." Naruto walked over to the adults. "So how have you been?"

"Well good, Minato here has been telling me all about his latest books, in exchange I've been telling him all my great jokes." Sakura's dad laughed out loud again.

"Sound's fun." Naruto didn't know really what to say to that. That's when the door bell rung.

"I'll get for you." Sakura stated walking to the door.

"That's so nice, thank you Sakura." Kushina stated surprised my the girls manners.

"Yes?" Sakura asked opening the door revealing Kari.

"Uhm, is Naruto here?" She asked, not using the suffix.

"Yes, Naruto-kun it's for you." Sakura called.

"Coming," Naruto went over to the door a shock look came to his face. "Kari-chan?" He stated/asked. "What are you doing here?"

"I need to talk to you." Kari said.

"Okay," Naruto was standing there waiting for her to speak.

"Alone." She nodded to the outside.

"Oh, okay." Naruto left the house, "I'll be back." Naruto said to Sakura.

"Okay, I'll let your mom know." She said.

"What's up?" Naruto asked after the door was shut.

"Is that what you were doing all this time, hanging with her?" She pointed to the door.

"What? No I just got home, I told you I was in the digital world." Naruto said.

"Doing what exactly?" She asked.

"Just doing the usual you know gathering information, trying to figure out more about the emperor that sort of thing." Naruto rubbed his head awkwardly.

"You're hiding something, what is it?" She asked glaring at him.

"Nothing, why are you up in my case all of a sudden?" Naruto asked.

"Why did you lie to me about that girl?" Sakura countered.

"I didn't lie to you, I told you she is an old friend from my world." Naruto stated.

"Then why is she here?" Kari asked.

"I don't know, I think its her double or something, look why do you care she's my friend." Naruto tried to get the girl to calm down, only it wasn't working.

"You don't act like you're friends, the way you two act seems like there's something more to it. Do you love her?" Kari asked.

"What, what are you talking about?" Naruto was flustered.

"You do don't you? The old girl in your world was you love wasn't she and now that she's here you're still in love with her aren't you?" Kari asked tears started to come to her eyes.

"No that's, that's not the case." Naruto didn't know what to say.

"Well, I'm not going to be your settlement; you can have her if you want." Kari was hiding her eyes now.

"What does that mean?" Naruto asked dreading what is to come.

"You know what it means, we're done, I'm done." She turned and walked away.

"Kari-chan wait!" Naruto called.

"Just stay away from me." She shouted starting to run now.

Naruto was about to go after her but paused, he didn't know what to say to her. "Maybe I should just give her some space." Naruto turned and went back into his house, telling his parents and their company he was tired he went to his room. That night he cried silently until he fell asleep. The girl that he was starting to fall in love with was now gone, all because of his old feelings. He should have told her from the start about Sakura, and then maybe they wouldn't have broken up.

(A/N: First off I have a reason for bringing Sakura back, the first is what you just saw, conflict between Naruto and Kari. The second will be revealed later. No Sakura is not going to be a love interest of Naruto's not in this story. Oh the talk between him and Kurama about string theory that was just a gag, the Sakura is not from Naruto's world, she is part of this one, yes she is the only one from the Narutoverse to be part of the Digimonverse aside to Naruto and her parents. Now the two are revealed to be childhood friends and that is what they are. So please don't blow up the reviews with the Sakura hate, okay? Anyway, what do you think of the gloves? They came to me while I was writing this story, sorry for it taking so long, there was a point when I lost my motivation for this story, but I kept at it for you guys. I do have a general idea of what will happen as far as the ending goes. Also I am working on the next chapter right now, I will tell you this much it involves a certain ocean. I'll leave it at that but I'm sure you know what I mean. Anyway, let me know what you think in the review, favorite this story if you haven't already and also, review review review, I love to read what you guys think, even if it's just a 'nice story man.' I just would like to know if I'm doing a good job or not. Gadget ideas are still welcome but again I would have to consider them, if I use them I will give you credit and if I decide against it I will send you a PM stating sorry but thanks as well. Like I said if I feel that it is good for this story then I'll use it. Side plots are still welcomed, chapters can be longer with side plots so let me hear it. To elaborate on that, to me a side plot is an idea that doesn't change the main plot in anyway, and is relatively there just as filler so to speak. Another thing I have gotten this in a PM, but Naruto will be getting a second egg, what it is will be stated after the next chapter so you have to wait, I was planning on doing this because the one I have picked out leapted out to me and I like it. So yeah, anyway thank you for reading and I hope you like the story so far. Ttfn, ta ta for now.)
