It was a quiet and chilly night in Konohagakure, the Invasion of Pain having been just 6 days prior and still fresh in everyone's mind. Shinobi were still on guard in case the other villages decided to attack the village in its weakened state. Thanks to the help of Yamato's signature wood release technique reconstruction had been going along just fine, the injured were being attended, and the markets were starting to open up again. Though for the past few days everyone had been celebrating Konohagakure number one Genin, Naruto Uzumaki. Before all of this occurred Naruto was seen as an outcast, shunned for being the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi, he didn't choose be what he was, and lived most of his life as a monster to other people. Speaking of Naruto where could he be at a time like this?

"Boy this is good Ramen!" Naruto said as he began to chow down on his third bowl, as a Shadow looms over him.
"Hey there Naruto, shouldn't you be resting?" the Shadow said, Naruto looked back and is greeted with the familiar face of Kakashi.
Hmmm mmhmmm mmm "Naruto words were muffled as his mouth is stuffed to the brim with noodles and small pieces of pork.
"Oh sorry there, my mouth was full, yeah I'm still a little but sore but nothing can keep me away from Ramen Ichiraku!" he said with an overconfident voice.
"Well I'm glad to hear it, but I don't think Sakura wouldn't be too happy seeing you go wherever you please, you know how she gets when you don't listen to her." Kakashi said.
"Well it's a small price to pay for this fine bowl of Ramen." Naruto said with a small grin on his face.
"Can you believe that all I ate was larva and rice cakes while I was training in Toad Country?" Naruto’s face became a light green as memories of the smell of Steamed Larva reached his nostrils for the very first time, what disgusted him even more was that he had started to like it toward the end of his training, the voice of Kakashi removed him from his thought.
"Well I think that putting up with some cooked insects was worth it since you saved Konoha and brought down Pain." Kakashi said.
"Well that's true; I could even give up Ramen for the sake of protecting the village!" Naruto said as he stood up and puffed his chest out with pride.
Any way Kakashi what brings you here?
"Nothing really just wanted to see that you were alright." Kakashi said." Well then how about nice bowl of ramen, it's on the house, thanks to Teuchi".
"Eat up Naruto you deserve it. How about you Kakashi would you like a bowl, it's one the house." Teuchi said from behind the counter.
"No thanks, I just ate, maybe some other time."
"It's because you have to remove your mask isn't it?" Naruto said with a small grin
"No it's nothing, like I said, I just ate, that's all." Kakashi gave Naruto a suspicious look, Naruto saw right threw it but decided it would be best to let it slide, he didn't want to make a big scene if tried to yank Kakashi mask off.
"Well whatever you say, let me finish this last bowl of Ramen and then I'll be out of here before Sakura can find me, if that happened this would probably be the last bowl of Ramen I'd ever get to taste" he said chuckling to himself.
"Well then you might want to save that Ramen for the afterlife because here she comes" Kakashi said
"Haha Kakashi she doesn't even know that I'm gone, I left a clone in my place, and she’s too dumb to tell the difference" Naruto said again with overconfidence almost drooling from his mouth.
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!!" Naruto froze like a deer in the headlights, he dared not turn around and face the terrifying rage of Sakura, he didn't even dare to breath which caused his face to turn a slight blue, and he found his body slowly turning around.
Standing right there was Sakura, he could swear he could see steam billowing from her ears, what made it all worse; she was holding a small box clearly containing food. Sakura only ate out when she was invited; this food was clearly meant for him. Yep he was in for a good hurting.
"I'VE BEEN TENDING TO YOU ALL DAY, MAKING SURE YOU WERE ALL RIGHT, JEEZ I THOUGHT YOU HAD ACTUALLY BEEN TRUE TO YOUR WORD ABOUT STAYING PUT, BUT NOOOO YOU SNEAK OUT TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT AND TALK BEHIND MY BACK LIKE I'M SOME KIND OF IDIOT!" Sakura said with a tone that would have made the Kyuubi flinch.
"Wait! Wait! I didn't mean it like that I was just joking; no harm done, right? Naruto stuttered trying to keep his composure but was clearly failing.
"OHHH NO NOT THIS TIME, NOW YOUR GOING TO GET IT!" raising her voice even higher what was thought possible.
"Please just hold on, Kakashi-sensei can explain that this is all a misunderstanding, right Kakashi?" Naruto turned to his left to find nothing but an empty seat where Kakashi once sat.
"I should've have known he would do this to me" Naruto thought of ways to escape, just then he had an idea, on just how he might be able topull it off. "Oh you don't understand" Naruto said.
"WHAT IS THERE TO NOT UNDERSTAND?" Sakura said her voice starting to lower a bit.
"You see I'm just a shadow clone sent by Naruto to check to see that Konoha is ok , well looks like my job here is done, no bad guys by the Ramen shop, better be on my way then!" Naruto said nervously patting the back of his head with his hand. Sakura demeanor changed within a second; from full on rage to her normal self.
"Well why didn't you say so Naruto, you really do care about the village, I'll be on my way then see the REAL you back at the hospital" she said in a calm voice, even giving Naruto a small warm smile as she said that.
"What she actually bought but it's my lucky day" Naruto thought with a big grin on his face.
With no fair warning, what felt like a mountain came crashing down on his face at incredible speeds, he was sent flying through the air like a rag-doll, he could see that the Ramen shop getting smaller and smaller and could distinctly see Sakura with a smirk on her face.
‘I’m an idiot.' Was all that went through Naruto’s mind as he was sent flying through the night sky?
"That will show him, what does he take me for, an idiot? Next time I wouldn't go so easy on him" she said as she turned around to leave but not before seeing Naruto land several hundred meters behind her.
As Naruto regains some of the feeling in his face, he sits up in the impact crater thinking how it could have gone a lot worse than it actually had.
"Well that went better than expected, nothing much to do here but go get some shut eye"
For tomorrow he would go out and help in the reconstruction of Konoha. As he made his way back to his apartment as there was no point in going back to the hospital because he was already feeling great and he didn't like hospital in the first place, he could feel a presence watching him, sure there were villagers outside at this hour but he felt as someone was watching him in particular, he turned his head in every direction buthe couldn't see anyone that looked even somewhat suspicious, he just shrugged.
'Must be my mind paying tricks on Me.' he thought.
He finally arrives home, strips to his boxers and t-shirt and falls careless on his bed letting his mind wander off to dream land where he could get a chance to meet the very Ramen god himself.
He awakes in the night to the sound of knocks coming from the front door
"Who the hell could that be at this time of night?" Naruto says in a questionable manner, he looks at his clock just to make sure what time it was and it read 4:20 AM
"Well that just great, the sun isn't not even out" Naruto heads for the door and opens a crack to peek out, but finds nothing but darkness, he closes it and heads back to his room. As he approaches his room he sees what look like a shadow being cast by the moon light. Naruto hesitates for a moment as he slowly reaches for a Kunai in a pouch in his pants, he readies it while waiting for the perfect time to strike, he thrusts the Kunai in the direction of the figure but meets nothing but air.
"What the hell is going on?" Naruto said while rubbing his head
"Sakura must have hit me harder than I thought, causing me to start seeing things ha!"
"I don't think so" said an eerie voice from behind Naruto. Naruto jumps from the sudden voice and quickly turns around to face the intruder, in the shadow stands a lone figure.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU! COME ON SHOW YOURSELF YOU BIG SCAREDY CAT!" in reality Naruto was the one who was actually afraid.
"Well I don't think I'm the one who's scared Naruto it's been some time since I've seen you, you've gotten pretty strong I must say, being able to take down Pain" his voice showing little emotion.
"Well then how about you stop hiding in the shadows and reveal yourself" Naruto trying his best to keep an aggressive voice.
"Very well" the dark figure said and he slowly started walking out of the shadows and into the light of the moon. At first he only show black shoes as the light of the moon revealed more and more of him till Naruto noticed the black rob he was wearing had a few red clouds as part of the pattern he quickly realized who it might be, as the moon light hit his face he quickly recognized not the face but the discrete orange mask and the one eye hole it had. The red glow of the Sharingan was present.
"It's you again! What do you want, I took out Pain, the Akatsuki is finished! What could you possibly want from me!" Naruto said the tenseness clearly audible in his voice but none the less, ready to strike at a moment's notice.
Well, the very reason Pain invaded Konoha; You, Naruto, you see I had my own plans from the very beginning Naruto, Nagato was just my pawn, gathering all the tailed beasts. He wanted peace and I want the same thing, just my methods maybe a little more ‘ extreme ’ since Nagato failed to do his job, I've come to finish it for him" Tobi said as he stepped closer to him.
Yeah right, like that's going to happen!" Naruto said as he thrust his Kunai at him again, it meets him dead on, only to slip right through him as is if he wasn’t there at all. Naruto remembered this from the last time they met.
"Nice try Naruto but you know very well those types of attacks won't work on me. As his hand pasts through Naruto prepares a sidekick to catch him by surprise, he swings his kick and instead of fazing through like last time Tobi catches his foot in mid air
You don't seem to learn, do you Naruto, it doesn't matter anymore, and you’re not getting another chance! Because this is the last mistake you'll ever make! You’re coming with me whether you like it or not!"
Just as he said that Naruto could see a distortion around his eye it grew until it spread to his body and it appeared as if his body was being sucked into one infinite point.
He quickly reached for another Kunai with an explosive tag that he brought along just in case, but it was too late as he entered in what appeared to be a wormhole of some sort , He became disoriented, up, down, left, right became irrelevant as he had no notion we he was or where he was going.
Naruto grew desperate, his survival instincts kicked in, clouding his already stupid mind, and he quickly threw his kunai in the direction he was facing.
It detonated just feet from Naruto. A blinding light covered Naruto, quickly followed by extreme heat, his flesh burning along with his clothes.
He spins uncontrollable till the point where his line of sight decreases and darkness begins to envelope his vision, surely enough he blacks out, he never feels the wet green grass he landed on.

A lavender unicorn sat on the floor of what appeared to be a library with multiple books levitating in front of her, she’s very concentrated at what she doing and looks as if even slightest disruption could break shatter her concentration.
"TWILIGHT !" excitedly yell a bright pink pony as she appeared out of thin air, the lavender unicorn jumped in the air losing concentration and the books tumbled to ground burying her in books.
“Pinkie, why did you do that? Couldn’t you see that I was studying!”
“Oh sorry Twilight, it’s just that something is about to go down today!” Pinkie continued to bounce around the lavender unicorn.
“What makes you so sure about it, wait don’t tell me, it’s your Pinkie Sense.” The lavender unicorn face hoofed from irritation, she was not in the mood for any fun and games. Especially when she was studying.
“Come on Twilight don’t leave me hanging.”
Pinkie was suddenly walking on the ceiling, completely breaking the laws of physics just for her own amusement.
“Ok, Ok just what is it now”
“I don’t know but something’s going to go down at the Everfree forest”
“Ok and what are we supposed to do?”
“I don’t know maybe go down there and see?”
“No pinkie. I have to study this afternoon, I’m not leaving to go off on some adventure in the Everfree forest just because your tail is twitching”
The unicorn known as Twilight returned to her place levitating her books once more.
“Pretty please!” Pinkie got on her haunches and gave Twilight a look equivalent to take of a puppy begging for food only it was much more powerful.
Twilight tried to resist the best she could, she was strong, but not strong enough.
“All right pinkie! Just do me a favor and stop giving me that stare?”
Twilight dropped her ears showing pinkie she could not overcome her cuteness.
“Let’s just get back before night fall, ok?”
“You got it!” Pinkie bounced behind Twilight as she made herself to the door
Oh we should get Fluttershy, if we run into some big scary animal!
"Yeah, yeah"
Twilight continued her march of shame as they left the library and began another of one Pinkie's adventures.
