A/N: This is pure crack and will show the reactions of the characters as well as answer questions for some of the readers since I can't answer all the questions in the original story.


"My head!" Sakura grumbled, rubbing the sides of her head. She didn't know what happened. One moment, she was asking Sasuke for a date and the next thing she knew…she found herself being transported somewhere else. Her green eyes looked everywhere and her shoulders relaxed at the sight of Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei.

Her green eyes widened at the sight of the Third Hokage and Iruka-sensei lying down on the ground. Team 10 was here too. Well that was weird. She blinked at the sight of a television screen alongside of some couches and a table in the middle of them. There was a couple of snacks.

"Where the hell are we?"

"Troublesome girl, I don't know but I know that this is troublesome," Shikamaru grumbled as he rubbed the back of his neck. He pushed Ino off of him and sat up straight while Sasuke scooted away from them. Sakura nodded and looked around, only to blink at the sight of a book in the middle of the table. "Why are we here?"

"I think I can answer that question," A somewhat familiar voice answered. Everyone jumped from their spots and swirled their heads to look at the source of that voice. She looks a lot like that Deadlast. Except she could not be Naruto because Naruto was supposed to be 13 and that woman looked like she was 22. There were four other males with her. "I think we are going to read a book."

But there was one thing that Sakura could not deny, it was the fact that this woman was way prettier than the Deadlast of their Academy.

The males with the woman were all good-looking males but only one male really frightened Sakura. That black-haired man with the grey eyes looked at them with irritation while the brown-haired man looked concerned. The other male seemed to be happy if that easy-going smile was of any indication to her.

"Who are you guys?" Iruka-sensei demanded. The chunin looked at those whisker marks with sad eyes and Sakura was reminded that Naruto had went missing. Not that she cared…actually it was better if she was gone. Less competition if you asked her. Everyone knew that Sasuke had some kind of crush.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi," the brown-haired male greeted. Sakura did not miss the way that her teacher's eyes alongside the Third Hokage's eyes lit with confusion and suspicion. Was there something that they were missing? She looked to her teammate and the black-haired teen shook his head.

"Yamamoto Takeshi!" The brown-eyed adult greeted.

"Gokudera Hayato." The silver-haired adult grunted.

The black-haired male did not answer and Sakura blinked when the blond-haired woman tiptoed to mutter something to the man's ears. Grey eyes did not show any emotions, making the pink-haired girl wonder of what was going on between them. The male raised a single eyebrow at the pretty woman and the pretty woman nodded her head.

It was like they were having a private conversation between them with just their gestures.

"Hibari Kyoya," the scary male finally said. The male strolled till he took the seat that was the furthest away from them and Sakura had to wonder if the man had anxiety problems. Why else would he sit there? She blinked when the blond-haired woman took the seat right beside the male.

Everyone stared at the woman, waiting for her to introduce herself to them, and the blond-haired woman pinched her nose.

"Isn't it obvious who the hell I am? I'm Uzumaki Naruto."

Several eyes widened at the introduction and several heads swirled at the blond-haired woman. Her blue eyes lacked emotions and she held her hand up as if she was making a countdown. Five. Four. Three. Two. One.

"You can't be Naruto! You look like you are 22 and last time I checked…you are 13!" Ino yelled.

The Older Naruto sighed. "Actually I'm 25 years old and I'm technically from one of the possible futures that your Naruto will face."

"Naruto, what do you mean?" Iruka-sensei asked, looking at the woman with wide eyes. His eyes was filled with so much regret and Sakura had to wonder what was the change with her teacher's eyes. He used to look at Naruto with so much hate but now it seemed to have a lot of regret.

The man called Tsunayoshi rubbed the back of his neck. "She means that certain actions that Naruto makes can change her future."

"You are getting smarter, Tsuna."

Tsuna slumped his shoulders and swirled his head at the Older Naruto. His brown eyes looked at the woman with pleading eyes while everyone else looked at him. "Must you always say that, Naruto?"

The woman snorted. "Better than me calling you, Dame-Tsuna."

"Oi Greedy Woman, did you just call Juudaime—"

"—We are all friends here!" Yamamoto interrupted. "And you know Naruto says it from a place of love."

Bang!

Everyone swirled their heads around and blinked at the sight of a cloak figure standing before them. Sakura could not really tell anything about the man but she could tell from the way his head stood over Kakashi that he was really tall. In his hand was a strange weapon and Sakura blinked when Naruto pulls out the same weapon from her pocket.

"Put down the gun, Uzumaki-san! I'm not here to harm anyone," the man commented. "I needed to get your attention."

"Well you have got our attention alright," Older Naruto declared, pocketing her weapon. "Now I'm guessing that you are the one that tore me away from my home!"

The man called Tsuna swirled his head at her. "Is anyone at—"

"—Luckily Lambo and I-pin decided to pay me a visit so he is safe," The woman explained. Everyone knitted their eyebrows together, looking absolutely baffled at what was happening. Only the three other males seemed to understand what was going on and Sakura blinked when she saw that Hibari relaxed his shoulder slightly.

Who was this he that the people from the future seemed to be concerned about?

"Now that you have been reassured and the people of the past have been introduced to the future, it is time for the people of the past to introduce yourselves to them."

Everyone blinked and then proceeded with their own introductions. Sakura did not miss the way how the Hokage seemed to relax his shoulders at the sight of Naruto or how his eyes kept flickering between Naruto and Tsuna. She could not blame him. Those two looked a little bit similar and that was weird if you asked him.

"So why are we here?" Shikamaru asked.

The man hummed and looked to the book that stood in the middle.

"For the shinobi here, you will see what happened to Naruto during the time that she ran away from Konoha," the man commented as he walked over to the book in the middle of the table. The man picked up the book and tossed it to Naruto. "For the people of the future, they will learn of the events that transpired during their disappearances and the time after."

The shinobi looked confused while the people from the future seemed to understand what was going on. Older Naruto looked apprehensive, eyebrows knitted together and her blue eyes darted to the man called Hibari. The black-haired male nodded and looked back at Older Naruto.

She relaxed her shoulders and Sakura wondered what their relationship was.

"So I will leave you guys to read Ripples," the man declared. "I will take my leave since I have other work to do. Using this jutsu takes a toll on me!"

The man disappeared and Older Naruto looked down at the book in her hands. A small sigh escaped from her lips and Sakura had to wonder how her former classmate looked and acted so different. It is like she is a whole different person. The woman flipped the book open.

"Since he gave me the book, I'm going to read first!" Older Naruto declared. "Chapter 1!"


A/N: I want to make one thing clear and that this story isn't a huge priority but someone pointed out that it would be interesting to see characters reaction like the Reading Guardian Chronicles. For all those that read the Reading Guardian Chronicles, the next chapter will be updated by next week at the latest.
