Chapter 14: Seeing Double
“Gaara? Where are we?” Naruto said nervously looking around there surroundings. It was no one defendant place, constantly changing from to another location and landscape. Right now they appeared to be in a city, but their bodies seemed to be falling through the ground as if they standing on water, only it happened much slower. When the sank through all the way, their next surroundings became a forest.”
“I don’t know. We seem to be changing times.” Gaara said.
“Any way we can stop?”
“Nothing I tried works.” Gaara looked down at Naruto, the boy was holding his stomach. “What’s wrong.”
“Kyuubi…It feels like he’s jumping around.” Naruto said.
“How long has it felt like that?” Gaara asked.
“Just started.”
“Has it ever felt like that before?”
“…Yeah, a few times.” Naruto looked as if he just realize something “Like when something’s about to happen…Whatever it is, it must be really bad because it never felt like this.” Naruto could feel Kyuubi growling inside of him, it must have really been uneasy because his Chakra mixing subtly with Naruto’s own, as if Kyuubi didn’t realize he was doing it.
Naruto started to walk forward through the forest even as he fell downward, feeling a sudden spasm in Kyuubi and making Naruto hurt more. “It gets worse when I walk in this direction.” He called back ‘Stop it Damnit!’ Naruto yelled in his head, though he did no good.
Gaara walked over to him, peering deeper into the forest. But by that time he’d sunk to low in to the ground to see anything. “Gaara! It just got a hell of a lot worse.” Naruto fell to his knees, his body burning with Charka and a piercing pain from Kyuubi. Gaara wrapped his arms around Naruto’s back and lifted him on to his feet.
‘Stop it!’ Naruto yelled in his head, finally getting some relief when Kyuubi realized he was inhibiting Naruto’s movement. And this apparently wasn’t the time for inhibiting movement.
Gaara looked down as soon as he got a view of the next surrounding’s they were falling to. He was staring what appeared to be a grinning Nine-Tail’s in the face, he jumped and Naruto let out a startled yell. It… looked like it was waiting for them, maybe it had been.
The fox lent forward attempting to bite Gaara but he jumped back and pulled Naruto with him. They were still falling so they had a slight advantage, The fox had to jump to reach them and it was easier to dodge something in the air then on the ground. They were heading in to another forest, that may have been a disadvantage to Naruto and Gaara though.
“What do we do now?” Naruto asked, taking a few steeps back.
“The only thing we can do.” Gaara turned around, pulling Naruto’s hand and began running. It looked a little strange because they we’re running on air and Nine-Tails was jumping at them. But appearances was the least of their problems.
The Nine-Tails hit the ground and sprang toward them again, forcing Gaara to dive forward and out of it’s path. The Fox reached outward, just barely managing to scratch him along his back before falling back down. When the demon touched him something strange started to happen, similar to when he went back and fourth through time.
The only way he could take someone with him was if they were touching him, once started that person went through time just the same as Gaara, they went to what time he went. The same went for Nine-Tails, now that the fox touched him it was also traveling through time with them. At lest until the found away to stop it.
At lest now they knew they were gong back in time.
“This is bad…” Gaara said, a fearful tone to his voice watching the Nine-Tail’s growl at them.
“What happened?” Naruto asked. Gaara turned around and showed him the claw marks on his back. “No…this can’t be happening!”
This time when the fell through the ground the Nine-Tail’s came with them. Even stranger, they just returned to the forest they came from, now they were going forward in time. “What do we do?” Naruto asked.
“We can’t fight it, the only thing we can do is try and get away from it.”
! - !- !
Shikamaru looked towards Konohamaru, “Huh? What is it?”
“Can you teach me that Jutsu.” He asked.
Shikamaru looked at him with a raised eyebrow, “You can’t use Charka, and why do you want to learn it anyway?”
Konohamaru moved closer so that he could whisper in his ear. “It’s kind of embarrassing but…I wanna use on Sasuke.”
Now Shikamaru was confused, “Why would you want to use it on Sasuke?” They seemed to be pretty good friends, why would he want to use a Jutsu on him?
Konohamaru blushed, debating if he should really tell him or not. “Well…I uhh…”
Judging from his reaction and the impish grin on his face, Shikamaru could guess why he wanted to use it. “If you like Sasuke, using this Jutsu on him would be the wrong way to go.”
Konohamaru rubbed his head, “Wow, you really are smart.”
“Why don’t you just tell him?” Shikamaru glanced over at Naruto who was talking with Lee, “Oh. Well a Jutsu would be too bothersome, and he might not like that to much anyway.”
Konohamaru sighed, “I guess your right.” He stood up and picked his book bag off the ground. “I better get going, my grandfather wants me to take this stupid class.” Konohamaru sighed.
“And…who is your grandfather?” Shikamaru asked mainly out of curiosity, in the past Konohamaru’s grandfather was dead. Here his grandfather may not have been the same person.
“He’s the president.”
He wasn’t surprised at his grandfather’s position, he was surprised to find that instead of being head of this city. He was head of a whole country, the Leaf had grown larger then Shikamaru had imagined. “What’s the class about?”
“I don’t know, the last one he made me take was about ’etiquette’ and it was stupid.” Konohamaru said, kicking the ground with annoyment. “Well, see ya later. And next time I wanna here more about the past.” Konohamaru said, heading back toward the city.
“Why do you guys come all the way out here to meet?” Lee asked.
“I’m not sure, it was Sasuke’s idea at first, then we just kept doing it.” Naruto told him, preparing to leave himself. “You guy wanna come with me?”
! - ! - !
Sasuke walked in the long steeps to Konoha’s police department, a large building about 6 stories high. Instead of the steel structures like most buildings it’s size, it was made of gray brick with a large clock at the top. He slipped past a few exiting people as he walked through the glass doors in to the lobby, hoping that he’d be gone before anyone recognized him or had time to say something to him.
The first floor of the department was mainly the lobby and a conference rooms, one in particular for the press. The second floor was the actual police department where the offices actually worked, it was a lot of cubical offices and the locker rooms with showers. The third floor was weapons based, the armory, the shooting range as well as the physical training rooms and the gym were set up there.
The fourth floor was forensics, the best forensics laboratory in all of the Leaf and also the smallest. Fittingly above the forensics department on the fifth floor was the what was basically where every case was solved, close, filed and stored. Mainly where Detectives and people of that nature resided. The final and sixth floor was unknown to Sasuke, since he’d never been up there. But he did know the chef of police’s office was there.
Sasuke hurried his steps, knowing every person here knew him. If he heard one more thing about him following Itachi’s footsteps, he would scream.
He walked down the long hallway filled with conference rooms, glancing into the ones with the door’s open as he made his way to the center of the corridor. Sasuke paused and took a deep breath as he came to the room, ‘I have to do this…’
He opened the double doors and walked into the room, finding it was nearly full. The room was shaped like a classroom, and it had to hold about 50 people plus those leaning against the wall. Hatake Kakashi was standing at the head of the room, he use to be a member of the S.W.A.T team and former captain of the Bomb squad. Now he was a teacher from time to time.
Not often though, no one really knew what he did when he wasn‘t teaching, which created some rumor. Especially since his face was covered by the collar of his sweater and no one had seen under it, quite the mysterious one.
“Alright then, since just about everyone is here we can start. All of you passed in the police academy qualifying to be regular officers. I assume that if you’re here you whish to go the next level. That being the Bomb Squad or the S.W.A.T or using one of those options as a stepping stone to enter the Leaf’s special forces.
This wont be a long process, You have to go through 8 weeks of training in two days. If your strong enough you can pass on into your unit by Wednesday, and it starts now. Your first test is a written one, you have 25 minutes to complete 80 questions.” Kakashi pulled a stack of papers off the desk and passed a few down each row.
With that done he sat down at the desk, putting his feet up and resting his hands behind his head. Watching each one of candidates take the test, he knew 60 of the questions were complete BS. They wouldn’t be graded for that, instead he was closely watching there reactions and waiting to see who would actually finish when most of the questions were made to distract
Konoha was only excepting the best, even if they were young.
Sasuke looked at the paper, it was multiple choice, he was thankful for that.
! - ! - !
Lee looked around in amazement as Naruto lead them to his apartment. “So what are you going to do?”
“There’s nothing we can do, it’s out of our hands. The only thing we can do is wait and see if Gaara will come back for us.” Shikamaru said.
“…But it doesn’t look like likely that he’ll come, he doesn’t even know what time where in. So it looks like we maybe here permanently.” Lee sighed.
“I could see why, you probably want to see if you friends are alright.” Naruto said, stopping and leaning on a pole while he waited to cross the street. “If you ended up here, then they’re probably someplace safe too.” Naruto said.
“Yeah, your right…” Lee shrugged, chances were they were alright.
Naruto lead them a few blocks to his apartment, unlocking the door and throwing his keys on the table. It was small, but enough for Naruto though most of the time he wasn’t alone. Sasuke stayed with him most of the time, he never went back to his house unless he had to. They could even see some of his things mixed in with Naruto.
Like clothing, Naruto’s were bright, light colors. Sasuke’s were dark, muted colors and it was easy to distinguish them apart even though they were mixed together.
“I know where this place is now, I’m going to look around.” Lee said, obviously thinking.
“I’ll catch up with you.” Shikamaru said.
“Alright, just don’t get lost.” Naruto called out, falling face first on to his bed. He was going to take a nap then go see how Sasuke was doing.
! - ! - !
Sasuke managed to keep his cool expression through the whole test, though most of the questions went over his head and he had to go on instinct. He couldn’t help but thinking, through this whole thing that he knew absolutely nothing, and wondered did Itachi have the same problem when he took this test.
Kakashi got up from his desk and began collecting and grading every paper personally…on the spot. He stopped at the first candidate, glancing over his paper for about 2 seconds. “You fail.” He said plainly, collecting the next person’s paper. From his eyes you could tell he was smiling when he looked at the second candidate. “Not bad, you pass.”
It was about 2 more minutes until he reached Sasuke, most about 90% of them failed up to that point, and Sasuke was at the very back. Kakashi looked at him for a second then down at his paper, “You got everything right, Not bad.” Kakashi moved on and Sasuke smirked, he didn’t think he’d make it.
When it was all said in done 9 people out of 65 passed, Konoha only let the best in and that was apparent from the beginning.
With the test done, Kakashi led the 9 of them up to the third floor.

Lee was confident he could remember where Naruto’s apartment was, it wasn’t that hard when he thought about it. Lee always had a good sense of direction and could find his way around, this would be the greatest test of that skill.
“This place is amazing! I wonder if they still use the same currency?” Lee looked around at all of the stores and people, all of them different. “This place look’s interesting.” He looked up at a Movie theater, reading the move titles with interest.
“Lee, you must be amazingly fast.”
Lee’s eye’s widened when he heard a familiar voice. “Sensei?” He turned around to see Gai standing with a surprised look on his face. He was wearing a green shirt with blue jeans, not a look that strayed far from how he looked in the past.
“I thought you had to go home and pick something up, and you changed clothes. Your really progressing especially in speed.” Gai said.
“But Sensei, I’m not--”
“Sensei!”
Both of them looked over at…Lee? He was wearing a green sweater and green pants along with an orange armband on his left wrist. Gai looked at the Lee from the present and the Lee from the past with a raised eyebrow. Even though he came a few seconds latter, Gai had to admit his speed was still pretty fast.
Both Lee’s looked at each other. “Your…Me? How?” The Lee from the present looked over the Lee from the past.
Lee rubbed his head, “How do I explain this…”
