Chapter 13: The more things change, the more they stay the same.
“….”
‘…..’
Lee involuntarily coughed, the intense feeling of his chest burning sent his mind back in to awareness. Instead of air coming out he felt himself spiting out grainy sand that scratched his esophagus on the way up. His eye shot open and he wanted to cry in pain but his throat was too dry and full of sand. His vocal cords couldn’t move at all.
Lee’s eyes were greeted with the vision of Shikamaru above him, from where his hands were he could see that Shikamaru had just given him the Heimlich maneuver. “Don’t try to talk, It will only hurt more.” Shikamaru said, reaching over to a stream they were sitting next to and cuffing as much water as he could in his hands.
He brought the water to Lee’s mouth, who gratefully slouched it around and cleared the sand out. Lee sat up, still coughing sand out of his lungs which wasn’t good for his throat. He was in a valley under an extremely large hill that had a stream running through it. On the other side of the stream was a field of flowers stretching as far as his vision would let him see.
“What happened?” Lee’s voice was scratchy at first, forcing him to clear out his throat.
“We drowned.” Shikamaru climbed to his feet, shaking the sand off his clothing. They had literally drowned, but drowning in sand wasn’t nearly easy as doing so in water. It was much more painful, extremely painful, and it was much harder to revive a person afterwords.
“Where is everyone else? Did they make it?” Lee looked around for any sign of some other person, finding none.
“I don’t know, but we should probably go look around in case they’re nearby.” Shikamaru waited for Lee to stand up, “Dose anything hurt?” He asked, checking over the other boy.
Lee shook his head, “No, I’m fine.”
They began the accent of the hill behind them, the slope proving harder to climb then either of them previously thought. Lee checked his equipment on the way up, holding up what he had left. “I guess this is all I have left.” He said, holding up a signal Kunai.
Shikamaru lifted two Shuriken, “Everything else was lost.”
They came to the top, finding it worth the climb since it was the only hill in the area. Giving the two a good view of everything in the surrounding region, which made them realize that they had no clue where they were.
Everything to the left was covered in flowers, leaving the right covered in short grass. No place like this existed near Konoha or the village of the sand. “Where could we possibly be?” Shikamaru said a low voice, almost to himself.
“Don’t you mean when?” Lee asked.
“More so where, this isn’t the same landscape as the Sand village. We didn’t just move through time, we moved in position.” Shikamaru sat down and folded his arms, trying to determine any place in his time that would have a landscape remotely similar to this.
“This may be why no one else is in the same spot, we could be completely separated in time and half way around the world from each other.” Lee sighed and fell back, landing on the soft grass with a sense of hopelessness.
“That could be true, or they could be five minutes behind us and a mile away.”
Lee looked over at Shikamaru with a raised eyebrow, “Is that optimism? From Shikamaru?” he said, a bit of fake dramatic surprise in his voice.
Shikamaru smirked, “You weren’t your usual optimistic self, someone had to take over.”
Lee laughed a little, “I wasn’t too bothersome?” There was a mocking tone to Lee’s voice when he said this, Shikamaru rolled his eyes and climbed on top of Lee.
“Hn, not really, I can‘t stand to see you act like that.” When it came to Lee he was willing to do a lot of things he wouldn’t normally do. He didn’t have the will to the lazy with him…well sometimes he didn’t.
Shikamaru stood up, extending a hand to Lee. “We should get going, if they are in the area we should look for them before they move.”
Lee grabbed his hand and pulled himself up, seeing their first problem when it was time to leave. “Ok, which way do we go?”
“Your guess is as good as mine.”
“Then let’s go east.”
---------------------
They could have gone in any possible direction, but after an hour or so Lee couldn’t help but start wondering did he make the right choice. Everything seemed the same, showing no sighing of anything but open fields and wide plains. Shikamaru constantly reassured him it didn’t matter which way he picked if they didn’t know where they where or where they were going.
Each leap carried them farther east, sending them a few miles so far. It was enough for them to find a road.
“Concrete road with yellow dividers in the painted in the middle, We must be in the future.” Shikamaru said calmly.
Lee got nervous, but at the same time excited. He was curious to see what the future held for the world, more importantly Konoha.
Shikamaru walked forward on the empty road, seeing that it was actually a hill. He stood at the point where the hill stopped running up hill and went down hill, giving him a view of a city that was in it’s valley.
Both of them were truly amazed at the site, it was much larger then any city they’d ever seen before, it was almost surreal. They could see skyscrapers mainly around the center, huge structures clearly made of steel and large amounts of glass. Large roads similar to the one they were on lined every part of the city.
“Whoa…” Lee said, unable to believe what he was seeing.
“If that surprises you, look at that.” Shikamaru point towards a sign just ahead at the entrance to the city, it read ‘Welcome to Konoha, Population 2.3 million.’ A large surprise considering the storm that wiped the village out completely who knows how long ago. It wasn’t nearly a village anymore, it was a metropolis.
“Shall we go?” Shikamaru walked confidently towards the city with Lee trailing behind, still taking in the sights.
“Hey thick brows.”
Both of them turned around, hearing the familiar voice of the only person that called Lee that. “Naruto?” Lee turned around expecting to see the hyperactive shinobi, and he did, only not in the way he expected.
Naruto seemed the same except for his clothing, he had on a pair of black pants with an orange shirt that had the Leaf’s insignia on the center in black. On the back was the usual swirl insignia also in black. Who was he? “What are you doing here? I thought you had practice?” Naruto said.
“Huh?” Lee looked over him questioningly.
“I asked you if you could help me practice and you said you had to train for some competition with Gai.” Naruto dropped a soccer ball he was holding toward the ground and bounced it in the air with his foot. “So what are you doing here, and what are you wearing?”
Shikamaru lent over and whispered to Lee, “This must be another Naruto in the future, It is strange though that he looks exactly the same.”
“Uh? Huh?” Lee looked around confusedly, not know how to respond to this.
Shikamaru lent over and whispered to him again. “Were stranded here so we might as well get on people’s good side.” Shikamaru turned towards Naruto, “I don’t think we’re the people your looking for.”
Naruto shrugged and looked over the two closely, “Are you Lee’s brother? You two look exactly alike.”
“It would have worked Sasuke!”
All three of them turned toward the city, hearing Konohamaru’s voice and finding him coming this way with Sasuke trailing behind. Konohamaru was wearing the same thing Konohamaru wore in the past . Sasuke was wearing baggy black jeans with a silk blue button up shirt.
“Konohamaru.” Sasuke said shaking his head.
“We can still practice it, quick! Throw me in the air!” Konohamaru said, turning to him and waiting to be picked up.
“No.” Sasuke said, sounding a little worried.
“Why?” Konohamaru asked.
“Because I like you, I don’t want you to die.” Sasuke said jokingly, he froze when he saw Lee and Shikamaru.
Or more specifically what they had on. “Where did you get that?” Sasuke asked, pointing at their forehead protectors.
Naruto lent forward, “He wants want of them because Itachi has one.”
“Don’t mention him around me.” Sasuke growled.
“What’s the big deal, everyone has one.” Lee said, realizing too late that what went for the past, didn’t necessarily go that way for the future.
“Not really, there really rare artifacts from a long, loooong time ago. That is so cool!” Konohamaru said, tossing his book bag to some place nearby and walking after it. “Shikamaru, can you help me with my homework?”
Shikamaru looked down at him questioningly, not sure how much help he’d actually be seeing that he was extremely from extremely far back in the past. “What kind?”
“Math.” Math he could do.
Naruto shrugged, “I guess I should get started to, if I miss more work Iruka’s gonna kill me.” The boy trudged over to where Konohamaru was sitting and retrieved his own book bag nearby. Sasuke walked past Lee and Shikamaru, sitting next to Naruto, though he still wanted an answer.
Naruto pulled out a history book from his book bag and opened it up to a page marked by a few sheets of paper. Sasuke looked towards Lee, seeing Shikamaru was with Konohamaru. “So, where did you get it?”
“Um…Well I earned it.”
“Earned it how?”
Naruto interrupted, “Sasuke help me with question number 1. Do you know how many years ago it was when Konoha was destroyed by that storm.”
Sasuke looked at him, “Are you serous? It’s a holiday, they said it 5 times in class.” It was still drawing a blank with him, Naruto had fallen asleep in class. “The holiday is today Dobe, 2000 years ago.”
Lee and Shikamaru now knew how far ahead in the future they were, 2000 years was a long way to go.
“So how did you earn it?” Sasuke asked, still determined to find out where Lee got that forehead protector.
Lee sighed, ‘What’s the harm?’ He thought to himself. “I got it in the past.”
“Huh?”
“I’m not the Lee you think I am, and he’s not the Shikamaru you think he is. We came from the 2000 years in the past.”
Naruto looked up at him and laughed. “If your really from the past, then you could do my history homework.” He said jokingly.
Shikamaru laid back on the hill, facing Konoha. “We probably could.”
“You two lost it, don’t encourage them dobe.” Sasuke said folding his arms.
Naruto still went ahead with it, “Alright then, What’s the name of the Third Hokage?”
“Sarutobi.” Shikamaru answered.
“Who engineered Konoha Crash?”
“Orochimaru” Lee said.
“How was Jutsu used?”
It went on like that for 10 minutes, the two answering all of the questions with out error.
“Just because your good at history doesn’t mean you from the past.” Sasuke said, looking over Naruto’s paper from over his shoulder.
“Well, I can use Chakra.” Shikamaru said, noticing that during line of question no one used it anymore.
“Don’t be stupid, It’s been scientifically proven Chakra can’t be used anymore. Don’t embarrass yourself.” Sasuke sat back down next to Naruto, watching Konohamaru who barley paying attention to the conversation and more involved in his homework.
“It’s not a big deal.” Shikamaru said, letting his hands come rest behind his head before for closing his eyes.
Lee looked over at him, “It might just help if you do show them.”
Shikamaru shook his head. “It’s too bothersome.
“I can only use Taijutsu so it has to be you.” Lee said pleadingly. Konohamaru looked up at the exchange going on over his head
Shikamaru shrugged and stood up. “Just for you alright.” He looked over at Naruto and Sasuke who were still watching him. “I’ll prove it and use a Jutsu.”
Sasuke snorted and looked on as Shikamaru did a few hand seals, “Shadow mimic no Jutsu!”
As soon as he said the words his shadow began to grow, extending outwards toward Naruto and Sasuke. It connected with theirs bring the two under his control.
“Wh-What’s happening?” Naruto said nervously as his body picked it self up off the ground with out any orders from his mind.
“My jutsu uses your shadow to control you.” Shikamaru raised his hand in the air, forcing Naruto and Sasuke to do the same.
“This…really is a Jutsu…” Sasuke said in realization, struggling as hard as he could to break it but with no use.
“You believe us now?” Lee said, watching Shikamaru release the Jutsu with his point made.
Konohamaru watched intrigued, thoughts brewing in his mind…
“I don’t know what’s more impossible, the fact that you can use Chakra and Jutsu, or that you really are from the past. Tsk, I guess you’d have to be to be able to use Chakra.” Sasuke finally believed them, he’d seen stranger things.
“If your from the past, how did you get here?” Naruto asked, rubbing his arm with slight disbelief. He had an easier time believing it then Sasuke, he was the one that had the seal on his stomach. He knew strange things happened because of it, and sometimes he could feel something stirring inside of him, but he never told anyone about it. He always said it was just a scar, along with the claw marks on his face.
Not that anyone really asked, mostly everyone at school and in Konoha for that matter, seemed to hated him. The only ones who’d ever asked was Sasuke and Konohamaru, and he didn’t tell them anything. He felt bad about not telling Sasuke though.
Lee started explaining the whole story, everything that happened including how they looked like just like the other Naruto, Sasuke and Konohamaru. Which spawned an argument between Sasuke and Naruto about something extremely trivial. They changed the subject of the argument a few times, so much that they, Naruto at lest, couldn’t even remember how the argument started.
! - ! - !
“That’s be cause you’re a loud mouth Dead-last!” Sasuke shouted, standing a few inches from Naruto’s face.
“No way jerk, it’s because your such an ass-hole!” Naruto shouted back, closing the gap by an inch.
“10 whole minutes, a new record.” Konohamaru said, still looking down at his homework. Konohamaru was extremely good at splitting his attention, his mind could be thinking heavily about an issue and still hold a good conversation. In this case, finish math homework he barely knew how to do, and listen to Sasuke and Naruto argue.
Lee sighed, “I guess some things never change.”
“Your so damn arrogant!” Naruto shouted.
“Your such an idiot!” Sasuke yelled.
Naruto looked down at his watch. “Sasuke, it’s 4:00. Don’t you have to go to that thing at the police academy?”
“Shit. Your right.” Sasuke lent forward and gave Naruto a soft kiss before picking up his book bag and walking to the road.
“Sure I can’t come?” Naruto said with a small whine in his voice.
“You wouldn’t like it, it’s boring.” Sasuke gave a small wave as he walked down the hill. “Good bye Konohamaru.”
“See ya Sasuke!” Konohamaru said, waving back with a lot more energy and getting a small laugh from Sasuke.
“Huh?” Lee looked around confusedly ‘Naruto…and Sasuke? Is that possible?’ Shikamaru just looked at it disregarding.
With his homework done and Sasuke gone, Konohamaru could finally ask what he really wanted. “Shikamaru, you from the past right….so…”
