World 2: The Boys
"Well, that was quite an...intense viewing session..." Hiruzen commented, "Let's see what this world has to offer?"
[Opens up to a man in a costume with a Konoha flag as the background]
"What the? Is that supposed to be a shinobi in that universe?" Asuma commented with a raised brow. "He looks more like one of those superheroes Konohamaru reads about."
"Perhaps it is such Asuma." Guy piped in. "How youthful! A world of heroism! Lee, we must take notes of this universe in order to achieve even greater youthfulness!"
"Yes Guy-Sensei!" Lee replied with an equal amount of enthusiasm, much to Tenten and Neji's embarrassment.
'Fools, the both of them...' Neji thought.
"Come on Sensei, this is really embarrassing..." Tenten sighed.
Meanwhile, Sasuke made a mental note to ensure no other living soul found out about his battle with Lee.
'That guy, he looks familiar." Kakashi pondered. 'Wait, could it be...'
"Hello, I'm Soldier Boy." The costumed man greeted.
"Th-that voice...S-sensei." Kakashi stuttered in disbelief, much to everyone's shock. This particular viewing was about his deeply respected mentor.
"Holy shit, that voice, those eyes. It is him! But older..." Anko noted with an equal amount of shock.
"Hold on a second Kakashi-Sensei? This guy trained you?" Naruto inquired.
"That's right now, this is Minato-Sensei, my teacher, the Fourth Hokage." Kakashi replied, shooting a slightly sad but unnoticeable look at the young blond. 'And your father...'
"An actual disciple of the fourth is training us?" Sasuke stated with slight surprise. "He doesn't seem to act like one."
'The fact that a student of the fourth Hokage is teaching us...This is an honor.' Sakura thought.
"But what's with that costume though?" Kiba pointed out. "He looks like a loser..."
"It's not that bad, it's actually quite stylish." Ino defended.
"Did you know drugs and drug-related crime have become a nationwide problem?" Soldier Boy now revealed to be Minato said.
"Ah, I understand now, this is a public service announcement." Hiruzen remarked. "That would explain the background and music."
"A what?" Naruto asked, dumbfounded.
"A public service announcement Naruto, it's basically a message that raises awareness on certain issues." Iruka answered the young blond.
"Oh, but I don't really see a lot of these announcements. If ever actually..."
"That is because there was never any need to. Our village never had any major issues that required raising awareness too." Hiruzen said. 'Aside from how the villagers treated you...'
"I never thought Konoha would be the center of a drug epidemic. Then again, infinite worlds means infinite possibilities." Kurenai remarked, her eyes locked on the screen.
"All across Konoha, drugs are destroying peoples lives." Minato stated.
"Oh please, if idiots wanna do drugs so badly, let them. It's not our problem if they destroy their own lives." Kankuro snidely commented with crossed arms, earning a few glares from the audience.
"An unyouthful thing to say, young man." Guy stated disappointedly, to think a mere teenager could say something so horrible was an insult to his very own youthfulness.
"I-I agree with Guy-Sensei." Hinata nervously added. "I-I don't think it's that easy to understand uh...?"
"Kankuro, my name's Kankuro..." Kankuro replied while deadpanning inside. 'How the hell did someone so shy become a Kunoichi? She's better off a civilian if I'm being honest.'
"Enough, focus on the screen Kankuro." Baki ordered.
"But you don't have to be a superhero to fight back." Minato claimed.
"Huh, he really is a superhero." Asuma commented while puffing a cigarette. "Soldier Boy huh? Well the name suits him."
"What a youthful message this is! It seems that no matter which dimension, lord Fourth burns with youthful vigor!" Guy declared.
"Because your superpower is just saying no." Minato said.
"Hey what do you think the Fourth's powers would be in that world anyway?" Kiba brought up.
"Maybe enhanced speed?" Temari guessed. "Back in the Sand we used to hear stories of the Flying Raijin Jutsu."
"What about teleportation?" Choji added his two-cents. "Maybe he can teleport all over the place or something?"
"No way, it's got to be super-strength. That outfit doesn't look like something someone who uses teleportation would wear." Naruto commented.
"So when someone offers you drugs, you tell them Soldier Boy said taking drugs is not cool." Minato said.
"Indeed! Taking drugs is most unyouthful! For any reason whatsoever!" Lee exclaimed. "In fact, I shall devise a new training regiment in honor of this youthful message!"
"That's the spirit Lee! That's the splendid Shinobi I trained!" Guy exclaimed with tears in his eyes. "Oh Lee!"
"Oh Guy-Sensei!" Lee replied with his own set of tears of the duo embraced each other in yet another hug. Much to a majority of the audience's disgust.
"Uh...Guy, there's a time and place for this you know?" Kurenai deadpanned.
Yeah, by this point it's just really embarassing." Kakashi added.
"Nonsense Kakashi, there is nothing embarrassing about our youthful embrace!" Guy proudly declared.
"As I said, embarassing..."
Sasuke on the other hand, stared at Naruto for a moment. 'Naruto wouldn't blackmail me over this, would he? No, he's too much of an idiot to even understand what blackmail means. Better treat him to some ramen though just in case.'
"And anyone who does is a loser."
'Like those two over there?' Temari thought as she stared at the similar-looking duo. 'With the way they act towards each other, they're probably on drugs themselves. Especially junior. No way he wasn't taking some sort of strength enhancer during the exams.'
"Remember, real heroes don't use drugs." Minato finished.
[Cuts to a message]
"Approved by the Vought ad council." Sakura read out. "What kind of name is Vought? Is it some sort of ruling government in that world?"
"Maybe it's a company that endorsed the message." Baki commented. "Some companies do so to improve their self-image."
"How does that work?" Naruto asked.
"By acting like they care for the people, they gain the public's trust which in turn garners greater profits."
"I don't get it." Naruto replied.
"Basically, they get more money through these messages because people trust them more." Shikamaru simplified Baki's response. "Forgive him, Naruto's kind of an air-head."
"I already understood that when I first laid eyes on him." Baki replied. "The fact that he's wearing an orange jumpsuit as a Shinobi is already a clear sign of an idiot."
"Hey!" Naruto glared at the duo, his eyes shifted to the screen. Noticing it didn't flash to black like the previous viewing. "Wait, is it still going on? I thought it was over already."
"Looks like it kid. Not that I mind, this is pretty interesting so far." Jiraiya said. "Still, seeing Minato in that getup. I never thought I'd see the day."
"Pervy Sage did you know him?"
"Know him? I trained him. Minato was one of my best students." Jiraiya proudly stated.
"Wait what?" Naruto asked with wide eyes at the declaration. "You trained the fourth Pervy Sage?"
"That's right, so treat me with a little bit more respect next time will you?"
"Hmm...nope you're still a dirty old perv to me." Naruto retorted. Earning a snicker from Tsunade.
'Well that's one thing the brat is right about.' Tsunade thought with a chuckle.
'Brats these days...'
"Naruto! Show more respect to a Sannin you dolt!" Sakura screeched.
"Enough already, the screen's starting again." Sasuke said although it was more like an order towards Sakura.
"Oh, y-yes Sasuke-Kun." Sakura blushed.
[Cuts to a 'behind the scenes' take]
"Wait didn't we see this already?" Naruto pointed out.
"No, I think this is a rehearsal." Jiraiya suggested. "The background looks normal."
"Hello, I'm Soldier Boy. Fuck! The world knows who I am why do I have to say it?!" Minato asked, clearly annoyed by the script.
"Wait what?!" Jiraiya said in complete shock, almost everyone in the room shared his sentiment. "Okay, I did not expect that..."
"It seems this version of Minato adopted Kushina's tongue." Hiruzen noted with a raised brow. "I hope her tongue is all that this Minato possesses."
"My, that was rather unyouthful of that version of lord Fourth." Lee commented, clearly disappointed by Minato's sudden change in attitude. "I expected greater youthfulness..."
"Don't lose heart Lee. Perhaps this is the only display of unyouthfulness lord Fourth will display?" Guy tried to lift his student's spirits with some hope.
"But the cool thing to do? Is just say no-god, I sound like a jackass." Minato sighed. "Who approved this script?"
A member of the crew behind the camera responded. "Danzo Shimura."
"Get him on the phone, I'm not saying this shit." Minato demanded, putting a hand to his head.
Upon hearing the name 'Danzo', the Jonin of Konoha immediately widened their eyes in complete shock and horror.
'Danzo? No way right?' Jiraiya panicked internally. Even if it was another universe, he refused to believe that there was one in which his student would work for Danzo of all people. 'Minato what the hell? Why work for that creep?'
'Sensei, what did you get yourself into?' Kakashi pondered with concern. He knew firsthand that Danzo could never be trusted. He's witnessed the cruelty of the old warhawk in person.
"Uh, Kakashi-Sensei? Who the heck is Danzo?" Naruto asked.
"Bad news Naruto, make sure to stay far away from him as possible." Kakashi simply stated as if it was a fact.
"But what makes him so terrible exactly?" Sakura asked.
"Just trust Kakashi on this matter." Hiruzen cut in, refusing to speak of his old teammate any further.
"Finally." Minato muttered, grabbing a cup of coffee. Noticing something wrong with his drink. Minato brought the styrofoam cup closer to his nose in order to take a sniff.
"Is this hot?" He asked before furiously throwing the drink onto the floor.
"He's acting like a spoiled child." Temari commented. "Is this how the actual Fourth Hokage acted?"
"Of course not! Our version of the lord Fourth is a youthful man! This universe is simply an injustice towards his person!" Guy furiously defended.
"Iced!" Minato exclaimed. "It's fucking unprofessional!" Minato remained silent for a moment to calm himself down before continuing. "Let's go to the top."
"Ironic considering he's a superhero." Anko brought up while taking bites of another stick of Dango.
"*Laughs* If taking drugs is uncool, I'm the most uncool motherfucker on the planet." Minato laughs as he noticed a crew member in the distance. "Fuck you." He randomly finished.
"L-lord Fourth. He-he-" Guy could only feel his heart shatter at this point. The Fourth Hokage was a man Guy admired almost as much as his father. To see that he was a drug-taking hypocrite destroyed him mentally.
"Guy-Sensei, this is...this is so unyouthful!" Lee bawled. "I-I..."
Enveloping his student in yet another 'youthful embrace'. Guy continued. "Rest assured Lee, our lord Fourth is far greater than this imposter on the screen! We must simply use this as a reminder to further our youthfulness!"
"Oh Guy-Sensei!"
"Oh Lee."
"Oh my god this is the third time already and somehow it gets even more disgusting the more I have to watch." Temari gagged at the sight.
"Isn't this the second?" Ino asked.
"It doesn't matter, we have to see this at least thrice a week." TenTen deadpanned, she too was shocked by this whole reveal but that does not mean she wasn't disgusted by Guy and Lee's behavior at times.
Most of the Genin present hissed with pity, even some of the Jonin did so.
"That's thrice too much..." Anko cringed.
"Are we neglecting the fact that the Fourth Hokage in that reality is drug-taking manchild with superpowers?" Asuma pointed out. "If I'm being honest, I think we're lucky we didn't see ourselves on that screen. If that's their version of the Fourth Hokage. Imagine what we're like?"
Most of the audience pondered that thought for a moment.
"Actually we're gonna need to go one more time." The same crew member informed Minato who was currently ignoring him in favor of opening a Whiskey canister.
"Well...I see there are traces of Tsunade in that Minato." Jiraiya pointed out.
"I'm not that bad Jiraiya." Tsunade tried to defend herself while blushing heavily.
"Tsunade...10 percent of your debt is because of alcohol."
"W-well I-I uh..."
"Granny, you need help." Naruto shook his head.
"Wh-Granny?! Who are you calling Granny pint-sized?!"
Hiruzen on the other hand was deep in thought on the matter. 'Minato, a man-child with superpowers who also happens to consume vast quantities of alcohol and narcotics. What next? Naruto is a lunatic with godlike power?'
"No we're not." Minato disagreed, downing the whole Canister with one shot.
"Really just need one more take." The crew member tried to convince Minato.
"No that's a wrap." Minato disagreed. Shooting a fake smile at the crew member. "Okay? Great!" He finished. Walking off as the screen flashed to black yet again.
"So, uh. That was...quite the show." Kakashi started off. "Maybe the next viewing would be better?"
"Y-yeah, third times the charm right?" Asuma said although the tone he used clearly disagreed. "Right Kurenai?"
"I-I suppose so." Kurenai replied. "There's no use in debating, Naruto if you would please?"
"If you say so Kurenai-Sensei." Naruto said, hitting the 'next' button yet again.
