Oh my, it’s been so long. Well, I guess it’s time to start picking on quantum physics in this story :D Have fun reading. Yes, this chapter is supposed to be confusing.

Chapter 4- The Uchiha be Crazy

Deidara and Itachi were now outside the gates of Konoha, arguing of course. “Make. Another. Bird.” Itachi ground out slowly and clearly, in case Deidara hadn’t heard the first five times.

“I can’t with one arm, yeah!” He replied rather loudly.

“But you made one to get here. Now make another.” He responded, back to favouring monotone.

“Uh, no I didn’t…” Deidara replied as his eyes darted around nervously. He was worried that a plot hole would catch up with him soon.

“I distinctly remember it, Deidara.” He began threateningly. A small, dark hole began to open beneath their feet. It was slowly getting larger and larger… As were the approaching Konoha ANBU…

“What are you doing here?” One foolishly paused to demand of them.

“We’re not here.” Itachi replied simply. He speedily glanced at the plot hole, speculative. The Sharingan could manipulate space and time…

“I can see you quite clearly.” Another argued.

“No, no, no. I’m just an optical illusion.” Itachi responded firmly, before vanishing from sight.

“Oi! Don’t leave me here!” Deidara yelled angrily. There was no response. “I’ll tell them what you stole!” He threatened, now getting a little desperate. Sure, he was a fantabulous Shinobi, but fighting ANBU whilst handicapped… He had his limits.

Still there was no response. “I’ll tell Sasuke what you sto-” Suddenly, after a brief sensation of falling, Deidara found himself amongst the rocky interior of the Akatsuki base again.

He swore he heard Itachi mutter, “No, he is not ready yet,” before he was left alone in the room.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the universe-er- Narutoverse…

“Ugh, surely these people must know something about the whereabouts of Zabuza’s big-ass sword…” Suigetsu complained as he ate yet more yoghurt.

“Don’t worry, I’ll use my secret jutsu. Of course it’s already in effect, how do you think you got so many free yoghurts?” Sasuke replied, straying from his monosyllabry.

“What, not that jutsu…” Suigetsu gasped as he shoveled yoghurt at the same time. Now that takes skill. (Don’t try it at home!)

“Yes, that jutsu.” Sasuke replied dramatically. “What else, moron?”

That was three sentences in a row that had been more than a ‘hn’. From this evidence, Suigetsu had deducted that Sasuke was currently being occupied by one of his alternative personalities. This one was nicer than the other four, so he didn’t mind so much. Though it did get distracted very easily…

A waitress came over with yet another glass containing what was assumed to be yoghurt. “I-is there anything else I can help you with?” She asked.

Suigetsu was sick of being ignored, so he spoke, “Yeah, the sword near the bridge.” This approach hadn’t worked last time, so he added, “He wants to know.” He pointed at Sasuke, who was presently busy with his staring contest with the wall.

The waitress quickly ran off. Only seconds later, an exceedingly loud ‘KYAA!’ could be heard. Sasuke’s instinctive response was immediate. He clamped his hands over his ears and shut his eyes. ‘Damn wall, you win again’ he thought briefly before sensing that he was about to be surrounded.

Quickly, he adjusted his composure, knowing that his ‘jutsu’ must continue in order to get the sword, which meant Suigetsu would follow him, which meant he could find Karin and Juugo, which meant he could find Itachi. Then he would defeat him and then… and then…

The obvious blank was barely noticed as the girls blathered something about Tazuna. Now that sounded awfully familiar… “Onwards.” Sasuke proclaimed suddenly, and began to drag Suigetsu away from his precious yoghurt.

“But I didn’t get to finish!” He whined as a child would to their parent.

“Well, if you behave we might go back.” Sasuke replied in a condescending tone.

Suigetsu made a disgruntled face as he was dragged away.

A plot hole opened beneath a seven year old Itachi as he nursed his baby brother. Yes, he was trusted with so much responsibility at such a young age… After quickly stepping backwards, he looked down and saw… it must have been another world. It looked like he was peering up at it from out of a hole in the ground. But he was standing and looking downwards…

Head spinning from the unbelievable phenomenon, he spotted a blonde figure and the underside of someone he knew instinctively to be himself. Was he looking at the future or something?

His older self turned his eyes upon him. Recognition flickered in the red, staring eyes as the hole closed up at a much faster rate than it had opened.

A car pulling up in the driveway pushed him out of his shocked stupor. ‘What was that…?’

Remember that the last part is always about the other universe, or rather, ‘our’ universe.

Quick question, just out of curiosity, would you buy a game if it’s purpose was to teach you Japanese?
