Haylie: Yes! New story! Whoo!

Naruto: (Wide eyed) I have THREE guys after me in this story?!

Haylie: Yep!

Sasuke: But he will end up with me. Right?

Haylie: Hmm.. Maybe... (Get's glared at) You'll have to find out for yourself!(Sticks out tongue) Oh! And this is, for the most part, not my story plot! It belongs almost completely to DarkCrimsonFlame3, who made it into a challege, and since I seem to have a problem sticking to my stories without getting writers block,
I decided to take one of them, but I'll be warping it to my liking! The reason is to keep my SasuNaru readers preoccupied and two.. Well, for my own personal enjoyment!

Naruto: Also, Haylie does not own Naruto or any of it's characters, you'll be able to tell the ones she made up!

Sasuke: (Sighs) Let's just get on with the story...

Haylie and Naruto: (Throws their arms in the air)Okay!

"Nii-san! Nii-san! Look what Iruka-sensei just got meee!" A little blonde haired, green eyed boy yelled up at his older brother. And who might you ask is the taller blonde with deep blue eyes..? Well, his name's Naruto Uzumaki, star soccer player at the West Desert High School! He's loved by all and envied by many!.. Okay, that last part was a lie, he's actually in one of the loser groups at his school, and rather unpopular, but I digress. "Nii-san!? Are you even listening?" Naruto looked at the boy and picked him up with ease, replying, "And did Iruka-sensei mention anything about bringing home dinner..?" The small boy looked thoughtful, then smiled back up at his older sibling. "Nope!" Naruto sighed, man what a lifestile he's been thrown into..

Both had been in an orphanage, Naruto taking to the smaller blonde like PB&J since he reminded him so much of his younger self. It was soon after that Naruto's middle school teacher, Iruka, adopted the two of them, seeing as he always played mother hen with Naruto, and Kakashi, the perverted high school english teacher who had the hots for Iruka, suggested that it'd be for the best if Iruka had someone to take care of, (Even though he'd probably been refering to himself) And that led Iruka to Naruto and his small counterpart, Rino. (Ya, now you know his name:D ) So now they both live with their teacher. And with Naruto's perverted Kendo teacher, Jiriha, coming to visit on weekends for practice and the occasional flirt with their land lord. (Cough-Tsunade-Cough) Life was finally seeming to turn around. He was also currently in his third year of high school, and thought he was getting by alright. Well, unless you factored in his crazy best friend Laiyn. She was really fun to be around, but you could say she was rather.. Well, too happy sometimes. It can be very distracting during tests and big assignments and such, but otherwise, she was a blast! Then, there was Konohamaru, a freshman daredevil, he could run up the walls of the school and do back flips; and a bunch of others who decided that they liked the freedom in the group. But ya, life was going along smoothly. Well, for now, that is..!

The older blonde finished up his memory lapse and looked back at Rino, the smaller beginning to babble about a book that Naruto could only imagine was what Iruka had given the boy, "-and then the NFT fight the evil guy, Orochimaru's, lackeys and kick their butts! It is soo cool!" Rino then throws his arms in the air, attempting with success to stress the point. Naruto smiled, asking, "And what is this book called?" Rino looked at him in aggitation. "I just told you, it's called Ninja Fighter's Three! It's one of the coolest manga on this side of the planet!" Naruto thought for a moment on this, where'd he heard that title's name from before..? ' Was it from Laiyn..?' He mentally shrugged, who knew, all he cared about right then was what him and Rino would be eating for dinner. "Did Kakashi-sensei tell you anything?" Rino nodded saying, "He said he an' Iruka were 'going out for a drink' !" Naruto looked pointedly towards the kitchen, "And that's my que to start making dinner; Wha-do-you feel like?" Rino looked quizically at the floor, "I think.. Ramen! Nii-san likes ramen, so lets have that!!!" Naruto let out a happy laugh, saying "Great! that way no one has to suffer my crappy cooking!" After a full out laugh, they then shuffled towards the kitchen, getting all their 'extra-secret-ingredients' to put in along with it, making sure there was enough extra for Iruka when he did return home.

Later that night, Naruto found himself uncharacteristically waking up. He got up and looked around to 'check the perimeter' figuring something must've been bothering him, but found nothing to prove his theory. So, instead, he went back to his room and fell back into a sleepless slumber, waking up several more times and feeling like a blob when the next morning came.

"Naruto! Get up!!! You're gonna be late for school!!!" Naruto moaned groggily, "...Five more minutes Iruka.." But in his teacher came, checking him over then forcing the poor blonde up. "Oh no you don't! You're not sick, so you're going to school!" Naruto groaned and gave Iruka a grudging look. "Bah... Fine, I'm up!" He jumped out of bed, went in to take a shower, got dressed, and headed off to school, dropping a happy-go-lucky Rino off at the elementry school... The lucky little brat got a full nights sleep... At W.D.H.S., three of his friends came running up to him upon entering the door. One was Hikaru, a hyper burnette slash bookworm, the second was Laiyn, you already know about her, and the third being Dean, he was the sarcastic slash lazy one of the group.

"Heya, Naru-chan! You look beat, what's up?" Hikaru said, concern lacing her voice. "I didn't get alotta sleep last night, I kept waking up every couple hours or so.." Now it was Dean's turn to talk. "Well, you look like shit man. Try sleeping during Study Hall today." Naruto rubbed a hand over his face, "I'm gonna try..!" Then Laiyn spoke up, "Come on Naruto! Try and act like your normal self! It's no fun hanging around with a grump!" It was then that Naruto smiled happily and said, "I'm not the grump! That's strictly Dean's job!" Laiyn and Hikaru laughed, but this earned a sour look from Dean. "Ya, ya... Use me to get your mood back in shape..." He then flips the bird and walks off, making the other three laugh harder. Hikaru then shouts loudly, "We love you too Dean!"

...Later...

Naruto is on his way home when he gets a weird chill and wheels around for some clue to this discomfort, but sadly, nothing seems to turn up. It was when he turned back around that he found a pair of green eyes staring deeply into his. "Aaahhh!" He yelps, then his knees just decide to buckle all on their own and he hits the blacktop, rather hard, and bonks his head on the ground, thus earning him a rather large lump and an intresting image in his head. It's after wondering what that flash of memory was that he notices a light weight on his chest.

"Nee-chan! Nee-chan! I'm so sorry! Are you ok?!" ... Oh, it was just Rino... "It's alright, but geez Rino, you scared the ba-geezus outta me!" Rino looks like he's about to cry at this, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Naruto laughs and bonks his sibling on the head. "There, you satisfied now? Let's go see if Iruka knows what we're doing for dinner!" Rino jumps off and quickly pulls Naruto up, Naruto taking this time to rub the backside of his head lightly and wince, hey, at least it wasn't bleeding... So off the two went, talking about their days and so forth... And walking in to find the kitchen burning down, Iruka yelling, and Kakashi sitting in a corner looking embaressed about the whole situation.

" What the hell happened here..?" Naruto was appalled, the two teachers couldn't have been home more then twenty minutes, and they already blew up the microwave, made the entire kitchen seem like a smokers bedroom, (It's darn lucky they didn't have a fire detector!) and gotten into a fight! Iruka sighed, "It's nothing Naruto..! Kakashi just somehow stole my house key, got home before me, and attempted to cook dinner, thus our current problem." Naruto smirked at Kakashi and chirped happily, "Man Kakashi! I knew you sucked at cooking, but I didn't think you were worse off then me!" Kakashi looked at him for a long moment then said loudly, "No 'A-' for you, Naruto." Naruto's mouth dropped, "You're kidding me!" Kakashi's eyes twinkled happily, "Nope!" Naruto smacked himself in the face grudgingly. "Well, I better go and actually TRY to do my homework... Later guys! Have fun cleaning!" He then walked happily out of the kitchen and to his room, were he accomplished being patient through an hour of homework, then fell into a deep slumber from his math work.

"Naruto.."

Naruto snapped awake in haste; He could of sworn he'd just heard someone--

"Naruto..!"

Naruto wheeled around, but no one was in sight, he then jumped out of his bed and wandered the house, till he heard the same quiet voice carry to his ears once more. The voice really urked him for some reason, but all the same it was so aluring, he couldn't help but go toward it... It was then that our blonde reached the livingroom; Where, on the table, he noticed Rino's 'Ninja Fighters Three' manga laying at a haphazzardly angle, he went and placed it the correct way on the table and turned around to leave the room, until...

"Naruto.. Please.. Come back..!"

By now, all poor Naruto could do was stare at the book oddly. I mean, someone had to be messing with him! Was it Iruka? Naw, that's to corny for him... Kakashi..? Could be... He stepped cautiously up to the book and poked it with a spatula, and don't go asking 'where'd he get that from?' because the answer was simple, Rino left it in the livingroom while he was cleaning the kitchen with Iruka and Kakashi. When the book made no sound or movement, Naruto cautiously picked it up, openning it and flipping through pages to look for a small voice recorder, but, as usual, there was nothing. "Stupid freaky book waking me up in the middle of the night..." Naruto mumbled groggily, still looking through it with minimum caution. But then, the 'stupid freaky book' started glowing, making Naruto yelp and toss the thing skywards, where it hit the roof and landed at his feet. He stared at it a while longer and noticed it wasn't glowing like before. "Maybe I just imagined it or something.."

Naruto then decided that that had to be the answer and left the room, deciding to relieve his bladder before attempting to get more sleep. But, as soon as he unlocked the door and went to walk to his room, he suddenly found himself falling towards the floor, but half a second before he hit, he found himself enveloped in something and everything went black...

(Later...)

Naruto woke up to the sound of running water, which was rather nice for a change, much better then Iruka threatening him to get up or lose his beloved ramen for a week.. 'Waita minute, how is there running water in the house..? That doesn't sound like the shower.' Naruto suddenly remembered what'd happened the night before and sat up quickly, looking around and taking in his surroundings. 'It looks kinda like training grounds with all the training equipment... But who knows..?' He then looks around behind him and sees a guy, about the same age as him by the looks of it, sitting there watching him. As creepy as the guy was just sitting there, his eyes topped it off; they where completely white! The iris's the pupils... Everything! Naruto gulped and watched the male, alittle frightened.

"Are you new here..? I don't think I've seen you before..." Naruto stared dumbly at him for a time, between thinking up an answer and realizing the guy could talk, he was speechless. "Um, yes, uh... Take me to your leader!" 'Smart Naruto, real smart!' he said, mentally rolling his eyes. But oh well, what was done was done... The seemingly stotic guy then chuckled lightly and looked down at him once more, holding out his hand to pull Naruto to his feet. "I think I'm going to like you... My name is Neji, by the way..." Right before Naruto could even reply with his own name, he was then swept off his feet and being carried bridal style towards what looked like a city and what he figured was the location of this 'leader'.

When they arrived, Naruto was in shock, this guyed just carried him a good three miles running nearly twenty miles an hour and it didn't even look like he was close to breaking a sweat. But on the run, Naruto had realized on thing; He was definately in his little brothers book. There was no mistaking the way the landscape was to the way it was drawn, seeing as Naruto had glanced through it before this whole incedent... 'Dammit, I'll have to strangle Rino if and when I ever get home...' Naruto then caught himself and gave himself a mental smack. 'Wha do you mean if?! It's when! When!!!' "Excuse me... But standing out here, it's rather hard to take you to our 'leader'." Naruto snapped back into reality and up into a pair of white eyes... Which gave him a shock, there was no doubt about that... But he preservered and replied with a quick "Ya..! Sorry!" He walked into the office with the freaky no-pupil guy and watched silently as 'Neji' walked up to the front counter, talked to some woman sitting quietly at her desk, then watched her run off into another room. When she came back, she said, "The hokage is ready to see you now..!" and sat back down to work once more, Naruto's brain flickering at what he'd thought was an unfamiliar word. 'Hokage... Were've I heard that word before..? Ah, it's not important!' He then proceeded to follow Neji into what he believed was an office.

As Naruto walked in the door, he thought he saw the woman sitting there's eyes glaze over then snap back, but he quickly dismissed it, thinking she probably just have a tuff night or something, even though his brain kept suggesting 'she probably drank too much', though he had no idea where this intuition came from. "Hello boy, my name is Tsunade. I'm the Hokage of this village, do you know who or where you are?" Naruto sighed, saying loud enough to hear, though still mumbling, "I know who I am but not exactly where per say.." The Hokage looked sympathetically at him, then told Neji, "Neji, I would like you to bring Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno here please." "Yes Hokage." And poof! He was gone! But Naruto suddenly had a weird urge to run away at the sound of the first name, he had no idea why, but it was like he was being pinned against the wall! "Naruto... Are you ok..?" He wheeled around to look frantically at the Hokage, saying loudly, " How the heck do you know my name?!" She sighed, saying, "So you don't remember who you truely are... Naruto, we all missed you very much, whether you believe us or not." Suddenly, weird handsigns appeared in his head, and, still being rather frantic, he copied them, hearing the Hokage yell out, "Naruto! Don't run off!" And as he copied the last handsign, the door behind him opened, even though when he opened his eyes from all the smoke, he wasn't even in the building anymore, he was standing in the middle of a street, looking like a complete idiot, heck, some people even glared at him!

It was soon after that, that he found himself running, running at nearly the same speed as that freaky Neji guy, and he didn't even know how. It was a little while later that he stopped, and found himself standing at the top of a bunch of rock monuments he'd seen earlier that day, and sat, looking out over the city that his mind had ordained the 'Village Hidden in the Leaves', though he thought that was a really corny name. But then, his brain suddenly lurched, making him hunch over in pain and see flashes of several images;

One was that of a young boy, he could tell it was himself looking in a mirror, but looking into his own eyes shook him, the boys eyes were full of tears, but his eyes were blank, he found himself saying, 'Why can't I just die..?' to his reflection, but then it turned into what looked like a large fox, that image then blanked out, and now he was standing in the middle of a field, he was making what looked like sand castles with a small red headed boy, it looked like his parents were most likely goth, since he wore thick eyeliner and had no eyebrows... Poor kid.. "Naru-chan, what're you makin'?" A small, innocent voice asked, "I'm making a sandman! It's harder to make one'a those then a snowman!" They both laugh, and the image goes blank, changing over to a face, an incredibly menacing one, his face was shadowed, but you could still see his creepy red eyes... Burr, what ever that was really gave Naruto the shivers! He looked around, hearing a little voice inside his head say, 'We have to leave... Someone's coming..!' So he copied the handsigns shown in his head and was poofed to the same place as before, where he started to run at an increasing speed toward a new destination, one that his newly discovered memories seemed to know rather well, which scared him to no end.

"Where am I..?" Naruto looked around at the small apartment he'd just entered and sighed, he's really starting to wonder about his wayward mind, why was it leading him to all these weird places..? But then, he suddenly found himself walking to the bathroom, finding the same mirror that'd been in his vision and looked into it, "Well, there's nothing in it this time, just my own reflection... Or maybe.. Hey! Is there someone there..?" Suddenly, his reflection twisted and warped, turning into a tall, carrot topped man with burning red eyes, but a smirk showed plainly on his features. "Hello kit.." He said, "Long time no see..!" Naruto felt his aggitation rise, but held it down knowing he could get answers from this person, if it even was a person...

"I have some questions for you.." He said, looking the man square in the face, the man then answered back, "Call me Kyuubi kit..." His smirk became softer, turning into a friendly smile, Naruto smiled back, "Well Kyuubi, do you know where we are?" Kyuubi drawled for a moment, "Lesee, it's been a good six years... I think it'd still be called Konoha, the Village Hidden in the Leaves..." Naruto sweat dropped, 'So that lame name was real..? Geez...' "...And when you lived here, you were hated by most of the village because I'm inside of you, and you were always annoying and pretended to always be happy no matter what happened..." Naruto thought for a minute then said aloud, "But I'm still like that..!" Kyuubi pointed at him, "Exactly! But that's all I'm gonna tell you, because I want you to figure the rest out yourself!" Naruto scowled at the mirror, "Geez! You weren't all that much help then!" Kyuubi snickered, "I never have been..! i'm just here to drive you crazy.."

Naruto then turned around at the sound of a loud knocking on the door of the room he was in, hereing a, "Naruto? Are you in here..?" It was Naruto's turn to smirk, even if he was alot taller then when he was at that age, he was still great at hiding! He then began looking quickly, finding a small nook underneath what he supposed was the towel cabnet and pulling himself into a tight ball, leaving out his arm to pull the cabnet door shut in his wake. It was then that he heard the front door open creakily, a soft voice saying, "Naruto-kun..? We know you're here, we can sense your chakra..." More handsigns, much to Naruto's displeasure, since he had to perform them in such a tight space, and once again found himself outside, this time in the allyway on the otherside of the street where he'd just been! Man, he was really starting to like those little pictures in his head!

"On the run are you Dobe..?" The hair on the back of the poor blondes neck was currently on end, as his arms were flipped around behind his back and he was slammed into the roadside, not too hard of course, but hard enough to keep him there long enough to be secured. Naruto turned his head to the side, catching a glimpse of black hair and a black and green outfit. "Who're you calling a 'Dobe' Teme..?" He felt the hands around his wrists loosen slightly, then continued, hoping upon hope that the male would get so offended that he'd let go. "What..? You don't like being called a bastard by a complete stranger..?" The grip tightened 'Oh crap! Wrong choice of words!' He felt the men lean down to his right ear, and in a silk smooth voice, said, "So you really don't remember anything Dobe..? Nothing about.. Any of us?" his voice seemed as though it had a pleading to it, but Naruto ignored it and said loudly, "What're you talking about..? I don't know any of you..!" He then felt another pang of memory, curling up into a tight ball as pain overwhelmed him, faintly hearing a, "...Dobe? Dobe!" And then the world going black, him not even retaining the memory he'd just recieved.

End of Ch. 1!

I hope you all like it so far! If you do, please review! I really like feedback!

This was the chalange she had posted on her profile:

Naruto- Naruto has a little brother who is OBSESSED with Ninja Fighter's Three! One night as Naruto walked back from the washroom he triped over a manga copy of that anime. By doing so he fell on top... or in his case, into the manga! When he woke up he found himself laying on a training ground of some sort. Once he realizes what happened he gets up but stops in his tracks when he sees a boy around his age standing just a couple meters away. The boy with white eyes walks up to him and stares down into Naruto eyes. Naruto gluped and tried not to look back becasue this guy was freaking him out! "Are you new here?" The guy asked. Naruto stared dumbly at him but but then lied. "Yes, um... take me to your leader!" He nervously stated. The guy chuckled and held an arm out for Naruto to hold. "I think I'm going to like you." He said and with a flash he and Naruto spead off towards the village where the 'leader' was. (NejiNaru, GaarNaru, SasuNaru)
