Chapter 5

We arrived at the hokage tower as soon as possible. I quickly followed Kakashi as we entered the building followed with the hokage office. Iniochi was there and smiled warmly at me. I smiled back to him and bowed slightly at Yondaime. Like usual, Kakashi left the room after received some silent order from the blond.

"So, how are you today, Rin-chan?" Minato asked.

I shrugged. "I'm fine, thank you for asking Yondaime-sama."

"You look different from yesterday."

I averted my gaze to the floor and shrugged more. The floor look it had just recently cleaned. "Ah, I'm just wondering about a few things."

"Care to share?"

I looked up when heard the door closed, apparently Inoichi left the place and giving a room for private discussion between me and the hokage. I felt a burst of something went through my body and I quickly looked at the blond man who sat calmly in his chair. It felt like air went passed around but I didn't feel any breeze. I raised my eyebrows as questioning gesture.

"I place a silent seal around the room. So, you can tell anything without worrying anyone for listening." The blond hokage explained and smiled warmly.

I smiled back and paused. Frowning, I eyed the picture frame on the table. I couldn't see the picture since it was facing at the hokage direction. The position was good; I made some thought in my mind. I looked up to the blond. "Yondaime-same, please tell me, honestly do I really look like your student?"

The man looked uncomfortable with my question. I guessed much. Not only Kakashi was acting weird around me but the hokage too except that he act so casually that I nearly missed the sign. It wasn't really a surprised as he already told me once about it. I just need another conformation about this.

"Do you think my arrival here as a second chance for you?"

"No, it might dampen slightly my regret but I still know that you two are different person. No, I'm not taking you as a second chance. What had happened to Rin must have its own reasons and I don't think you're going to repeat the situation again. I just know it." Yondaime answered and leaned in his seat. "As for your appearance, yes. I think, we talk about it already."

I nodded. "I know, just want some clarification." More likely I needed some assurance from someone else who knew that Rin. Kakashi most likely looked at me as her and I want to know other opinion too.

"But, you're different. Your attitude and action around others are different than Rin." The blond added and smiled. "That's why I don't look at you as Rin. Your actions are just very different than the girl who once was my student. The way you speak and sharing the information, curiosity and the way you covered for Kakashi was really your own."

At Kakashi's name I looked up at the hokage. "You know?"

"I know my students very well, especially him."

"Ah, but he do very well in baby sit me, not that I really like it but it's decent." I made annoyed face at the end. "He is a jerk sometimes and I kick him when we sleep. So it's fair after all." Shrugging, I crossed my arms. "Ah, don't think weird about us sharing bed thing. I don't really care since he is like a kid to me. More to a stoic unsocial kid, I think. Well I'm being twenty and I don't see him as potential hazard." I added and looked away, avoiding confused gaze from the blond. I couldn't tell him the real reason was that I still don't believe that this was real. For me this was just like a dream, a crazy one too since all of these, the world, people and everything here were fictional thing.

The hokage laughed slightly and grinned. "Say the one who called him rapist. See, the way you look at Kakashi also different. For Rin, I don't really recall much about their relationship but I know she favors Kakashi than Obito."

I made disgusted face. "She likes him? That was totally unwise choice! There are many more guys out there that are much better than that social retarded!" Face palming, I groaned. Even Gai was better than Kakashi if he act more subtle. "I can't believe this. Wait, who's Obito?" I turned to the hokage.

"The other member of my team, see?" The hokage pointed to goggled boy in the picture. I nodded.

"Obito look much better choice in my opinion." I muttered softly and shook my head. "Let's stop here. We will do the sealing today? Are you really sure about this?"

We both stared on each other faces with calculating gaze. I analyzed the blond hokage. There was no trace of regret or curiosity on his face. He looked serious about it.

"I can see that you're really sure about this." I mumbled softly.

"Yes, I stated my reasoning before, remember?"

"Yes…but, you're not regretting this?"

"No."

"Okay."

"I'll call Inoichi and you can stay relax."

"This is not going to hurt, right?"

"Don't worry it's all safe." He grinned.

Inoichi arrived a few seconds later; I bet he was around the tower if he could arrive so fast. The door closed, silent seal was up once again and we stood in a circle as the blond village leader ordered. The hokage placed down a small piece of paper full with calligraphy letter written on it at the center of our circle. I blinked repeatedly, trying to decipher the writing but failed. I knew I could read something from the book but something like this? It was a new thing to me.

Yondaime crouched and pulled out a custom made kunai. I stared at the weapon in his hand. The blade composed with three sharp points where the middle one was the longest followed with the sides. The handle was made from the same metal as the cutter part and coated with a thin piece of wooden material with some calligraphy writing on it. I also couldn't read what written on it. Ao did mention once about Minato or Yondaime. He was known as yellow flash of konoha and was famous about his speed and his specialty kunai.

Ah…so I was going to forgot everything about this man and others.

"Wait a moment." I raised my hand making both Inoichi and Yondaime focused at me. I grinned. "Um, this sealing thing is not going to seal all of my memory, right?"

"Yes, we already formulate it so that only memory regarded with this village and shinobi world futures are going to be sealed. Other than that you may keep it." Inoichi explained calmly. He must sense my panic expression.

"Oh…that's nice. I'm relieved." I sighed and relaxed. I was so not going to do it if all my memories were being locked away.

"Don't worry so much about it Rin-chan." Yondaime said as he pressed down his kunai onto the paper. As soon as the hilt reached the paper, more calligraphy writing appeared on the floor surrounding us. "I need a keyword. Give me a keyword that relates all of the memories."

I blinked. "Uh…Naruto?" I didn't need any reason for my choice of keyword, right? Naruto was a good keyword since the stories related with him but the response I received was totally surprising.

"Ramen fishcake? You're not hungry aren't you?" Yondaime raised his eyebrows. I wasn't kidding and his disbelieve face was priceless since I always met him with composed aura. A just simple keyword really surprised him and hey! That was your son's name!

I grinned. "You ask for a keyword, right? I give you one."

"I don't see the relationship between a mere fishcake and our future…" Inoichi murmured.

I rolled my eyes to him. "You must not look enough in my mind."

"I'm more fascinated with those vehicles and technology in your world." Inoichi defended himself. "I have read about it somewhere and to see it with my own eye was different."

"It was fantastic, right?" I beamed happily.

"Indeed, but we also have our own technology here." He grinned.

"I noted that." I agreed with him. While my previous world was more advance with everything but here they got those jutsu and chakra thing. In one another each place had its own advantages and disadvantages.

"So, naruto then." Minato confirmed the keyword even he still looked reluctant with it. Oh, come on Minato-sama, you will give that name to your son! I added in my mind with snicker.

"Yep!" I nodded.

"Seal!"

I believed there was a very bright while light emerged from the floor and suddenly I was at someplace where there was nothing at all. No Yondaime and Inoichi too, wait where was I this time? I scanned my surrounding and found nothing.

"Hey!"

I quickly turned around at the voice and facing…me? That girl looked younger or should I say like the young version one where I was before. I raised my own hand and stared at it. It looked larger and I start to pat my face. "It seems that I'm gaining my own body back." I muttered softly and pulled my hair. "Wohoo! I'm in my real body again!"

"Just in here, on this plane," The younger of me talked.

I startled. "Did you just talk?"

"Yes, and you look like staring at ghost, surprised?"

"Surprised was understatement. I feel like I'm going crazy. My younger self are talking to me."

The younger look alike me chuckled softly. Even our voice sounded same. It made me feel creepy.

"You're wrong here! We may look same but we're different person."

"Come again?"

"Ah, I'm Suzuhara Rin as the real one in that world you had just landed a few days ago."

"…"

"And you're Suzuhara Rin from…"

I groaned. "Fine I get it! We swapped our bodies? Our soul went to different body?"

"Uh huh!" Rin nodded.

"But that world is a fiction world! And since we look really similar so you're my ancestor? From that fictional thing?"

"Are you sure that was just a fiction?"

"What do you mean?"

"Actually I see your world as my fiction world."

"Huh?"

"I got a novel from my trip to Konoha and it was a very promising reading material. I enjoyed it and wished to see it with my own eyes." Rin explained happily.

I stared at her and blinked. Somehow it was like her wish came true? "And it becomes reality?"

"Mm…getting awake on hospital bed was not the best thing but your friend Ao was a total hottie! And yeah, I really like with everything! Those phones, tablets are just amazing!"

I felt my eyebrow twitched. "So I'm alive out there and what're you doing with my body?"

"I should ask the same about you!"

"Uh…"

"Hu…"

"Anyway, what do you did before we become like this?" I asked and crossed my arms. "As what I can recall on my part, I was being hit by a truck from saving a kid with her dog."

Rin rubbed her arm and looked away. She looked uncomfortable all of sudden. "Um, I was reading the book when our group was being stopped by some bandits…everyone was killed on that spot and that leaves me alone since I was staying inside the wagon. It was terrifying and I couldn't move at all. It was too fast. Konoha ninjas which escorted us made a good fight with them but there was one of them dragging me out and made some weird hand signs and then I don't really know anymore. When I woke up there was this hottie named Ao…"

"Okay, stop!" I held my palm and sighed. "So, you're not from Konoha?"

"Uh no, I was one of this traveler merchants kids. Adopted, since I don't know my real parents and they did mention about my mom was being a kunoichi. Sadly, she died as soon as she delivered me or so I learned."

"Oh…and you already know about me?"

"About that…they diagnosed me with partial memory loss…" Rin smiled sheepishly.

Pinching on my forehead I glared at her. "You what?"

"I'm just nine! What I'm supposed to do when suddenly I'm become twenty years old?"

"Uh, you got point there."

"But, I'm quite enjoyed with my life so far."

"…?" I raised my eyebrows.

Rin clasped her hands and stared at the white surrounding with glazed eyes. "Ao is very polite and help me with everything, explaining all things about you and he also teaches me about those technologies thing and…"

"Okay, okay I get it." I sighed. Now I really worried about Ao reaction.

"Anyway, I'm pretty interested with your course at your college. I think I can do well with it since I'm mentally still a kid."

I stared at her. "Ah…don't you think this is our chance to go back to our respective life?"

"Can't hear you, somebody was calling me." Rin suddenly blurred from my sight.

"Ah wait!"

"Good luck out there!" It was only heard as echo and the light became bright once again. I extended my arm to Rin direction but there was nothing. I closed my eyes.

"Wait!" I shouted.

"Rin!"

"Uh? Huh?"

"Finally."

I rubbed my eyes and shuddered. I looked around the hokage office and found that we were still stood in similar fashion before the sealing process occurred. I pinched my nose bridge. "How long I was out?"

"Just a few minutes, but you're not moving at all making us a little worried. You're not even blink and your gaze was so distance." Inoichi explained. "Do you remember us?"

I looked at both of other occupant in the room. I nodded. "Yes, I do remember everything from very first moment I opened my eyes until today and oh, I guess I found my problem here."

"What do you mean?" Yondaimed eyed me. He seemed wary with my previous condition.

"Remember that I asked about any ideas regarding my arrival here?"

"Yes."

"I met someone during my moment of static. The real owner of this body. Apparently our soul was switched. There was a jutsu involved but she," I patted my chest. "Didn't really know anything about it."

Yondaime's eyes narrowed at my short explanation. "That's something to need be look out. Anyway, the sealing process is a success." He picked up the same paper he placed earlier from the floor and looked at us for another confirmation.

Inoichi nodded. "I can't really recall anything."

"Oh…" I stared at the floor and bite my thumb. I felt a tear dropped from my eye. "I can remember my friend, but can't understand what he said…"

Why did I feel so sad suddenly?

Satisfied with our responses, the blond hokage nodded. "I'm going to burn this paper and this will be the end." Yondaime formed hand sign and the piece of paper burned to ash. He then turned to me. "And now, this will be your beginning, Rin-chan."

I wiped my tears and looked at him. "Yes, Yondaime-sama."

"What're you going to do after this?"
