Isekai Restuarant (Rewrite)

- Naruto -

They were flying over Konoha's training ground, Kanna-chan carrying him as they headed for Ichiraku Ramen when he spotted someone practising in one of the training grounds.

"Kanna-chan, wait for a moment. I want to meet someone." He called out. "Drop me there." He pointed towards the training ground.

"Yes."

She did just that and he landed right in the middle of the ground.

The last person having sensed his presence jumped away from them and drew a kunai from his pouch but stopped when he recognised him.

"What's up, teme." He smiled at Sasuke. "Training hard, I see."

Sasuke's eyes widened at the sight of him. "Naruto… where did you disappear to?"

"Hahahaha I was out doing special training. I have become a lot stronger and could totally kick your ass now."

Sasuke frowned. "Hmph… did you fall somewhere and hit your head, dobe? You beating me? Dream on."

"Oh! You wanna fight, hah! Come on, I will take you on." He took a stance.

"If that's what you wish for. I can always show you why I am the best in the class and you are the deadlast." Sasuke took the taijutsu stance too.

"That was a long time ago. I can totally kick your ass now."

"Hmm, show him, Naruto."

"Oh and who is she? Got yourself another loser friend, dobe?"

"Her name is Kanna Kamui and she is not a loser." He protested.

Kanna nodded too. "Who is this duckbutt, Naruto?"

...

…

…

…

"Duckbutt?"

"Umm, his hair looks like a duck's butt."

Naruto looked… he looked closer… and it indeed did.

"Hahahaha it does. It really does look like a duck's butt." He laughed.

Sasuke looked embarrassed and shouted. "Enough talk. Let's see who the real loser is."

They rushed towards each other.

Unlike the last time however, he could easily see Sasuke's moves and react to them.

Sasuke's taijutsu was different from his, but grandpa had taught him well.

Understand the rhythm and anticipate their moves. He did just that and found himself matching and then easily overpowering Sasuke. He noticed that he was physically stronger and faster than Sasuke already. In fact, he wasn't even using his Cursed Energy to reinforce his attacks and was still outpacing Sasuke easily. 

With one last punch to the gut, he sent Sasuke sliding down the ground.

"Hahahaha I told you, didn't I. I can totally wipe the floor with you now."

Sasuke got up, angry this time. "It's not over yet. This is not a mock taijutsu match but a real fight." He drew a kunai and a few shuriken.

Naruto narrowed his eyes and looked at Kanna. "Can I have my tanto, Kanna-chan?"

"Umm." Kanna nodded and pulled out his tanto from somewhere. They had packed some weapons when they had come here and Kanna-chan had stored everything with her magic.

It was a mission after all. How could they go out without any weapons?

He drew the tanto and faced Sasuke. During his time at the Ryozanpaku dojo, Shigure nee-chan had taught him a lot about Bukijutsu. She was even better than Iruka-sensei at teaching.

Naruto personally chose a tanto because he had seen Nanami-sensei using a sword and Silas nii-san used knives and swords too and they looked cool.

They clashed again, this time with kunai and tanto. The clash sent sparks between the weapons.

Both of them clashed several times. Naruto actually took time to understand the rhythm again instead of using his speed and strength to overpower him.

Once that was done, the result was the same as the taijutsu fight.

Sasuke's kunai was sent flying in the air and he had his tanto on his neck.

"My win, teme." He grinned as he put his tanto back into the sheathe and offered a hand to him. "We are going to eat ramen at Ichiraku's. Wanna come with us?" He asked.

He got up and dusted his clothes. "Hmph… I need to train. My nii-san will teach me a new jutsu and then I will totally beat you up."

"Hah… well, I got a nee-chan and a nii-san too. They are very strong too. In fact, I will ask him to teach me some cool stuff too." He argued back.

Silas nii-san could teach him some awesome magic. That was even cooler than ninjutsu.

"Hmph… as if some random guy could match my nii-san." Sasuke snorted rudely.

"What do you know? Sil-nii-san is super strong. He could totally wipe the floor with your nii-san."

"You take that back!"

"No way!"

And thus they began arguing… until he heard Kanna's voice.

"Naruto, I'm hungry."

"But Kanna-chan, this teme is saying that Sil nii-san would lose against his brother. Sil nii-san could totally kick his ass dattebayo."

"Hmm. Sil has become stronger. He will win."

"See. Kanna-chan knows it too."

"You are both dumb."

"What did you say!"

"I said you are dumb."

And once more they were arguing before he felt Kanna-chan pick him up and fly in the air.

"Kanna-chan?"

"I'm hungry."

"Ah… okay." he looked down at Sasuke who was looking at him with wide open eyes. "See you later, teme. And Sil nii-san would totally win."

With that, Kanna used her stealth magic again and they flew towards Ichiraku Ramen once more.

- Sasuke -

What the hell had the dobe been doing all these months?

How did he get so strong?

And who was that girl with wings?

Was it some kind of ninjutsu?

While thinking about these, he returned home.

He wasn't joking when he said that nii-san would train with him today. Itachi had been busy with missions and had only returned last night and had promised to train with him today.

With this thought in mind, he reached home.

His mother was the one who opened the door.

"Sasuke… how did you get dirty?" She asked, looking at the state of his clothes.

He opened his shoes and entered his house.

Inside, his father was sitting with Itachi.

"I was training." He replied before taking a seat nearby.

"Were you training with someone? You don't usually get this roughed up." His mother asked, making him embarrassed when remembering what he had faced just a while ago.

"Yes. I met a… classmate." He nodded shyly.

"Those look like bruises from a fight. Were you sparring with them? Is there someone in your class who can bruise you in a spar?" His father asked, his tone disappointed.

Sasuke bowed his head, ashamed.

"Let's train later on today, Sasuke." Itachi offered and he looked at his brother with a smile and nodded.

"Alright alright, go and get cleaned up first. It's almost time for lunch. You can train after that." Mother interrupted them and sent him for a bath.

Sasuke hurried and took a bath and returned back for lunch.

He started to quickly eat so that he could go out and train with his nii-san.

"Eat slowly, Sasuke. The food is not running anywhere." His mother chided and he slowed down.

"By the way, how did you get that bruise?" His father asked.

He paused. "It was… in a taijutsu fight."

"Hmm… did you drop your guard against the opponent? Such arrogance can become the undoing of even the greatest shinobi."

"...yes father."

"Did you win?"

"Eh?"

"Did you win the fight? I can understand if you exchanged that bruise for a win."

"I… didn't." He replied embarrassed.

"You lost?" Itachi asked, surprised. "I didn't know there was someone in your class who could match you in taijutsu. Can you tell me about it?"

"I… he was stronger and faster and he somehow seemed to be anticipating all my moves. Even when we used weapons, he matched me and then."

"Fighting an opponent with greater strength and speed can be difficult. You shouldn't lose your cool and try to find a weakness. In a fight, you only need one good hit to win so calmly wait for your opportunity."

He nodded.

"Is there something else?"

"He… he wasn't using his speed or strength to fight. He was actually holding back. Somehow he already knew what I was going to do, almost as if he had a sharingan. But he isn't even an Uchiha."

"You don't need a sharingan to anticipate your opponent's moves, Sasuke. The Sharingan is a tool which can help you get stronger but it's not the only way. Any experienced shinobi can predict your moves in a battle."

Sasuke nodded.

"Still, I didn't expect there to be such a kid in your class. What's his name?"

"Well… he isn't in our class per say… or at least not anymore. He suddenly left the academy one day."

"Hmm? What's his name?"

"Naruto Uzumaki."

…

…

…

…

Suddenly the whole room became silent. His parents and brother stopped eating and then suddenly his father turned towards him. "Where… where did you see him, Sasuke? Where is he now?"

Sasuke was taken aback by the intensity of the question and wasn't able to reply for a moment when he felt a hand on his back.

"No need to be afraid, Sasuke. You are not in any trouble. Just answer the question. It's very important. Where did you see, Naruto Uzumaki?"

"In… the training ground near the river where we practise shurikenjutsu."

"When?"

"Umm, around an hour ago."

"Was he alone?"

"No… there was a girl with him."

"Girl? How did she look? Describe her in detail."

"She looked around our age. She had white-lavender hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a pink dress and…"

"And what?"

"She could fly…"

"Huh?"

"She could make wings appear on her back and fly. She took Naruto away when they were leaving."

"Where did they go? Did you see the direction they left?"

"Eh… umm, I… they invited me for ramen. I think they went to the Ichiraku Ramen to eat something." He replied after thinking back again.

His father and brother exchanged looks and the former spoke. "Itachi, go and inform the Hokage. I will bring Sasuke with me and follow."

"Yes father."

Itachi immediately got up and disappeared in a shunshin while his father got up too.

"Get ready, Sasuke."

While still confused about everything, Sasuke got up and started getting ready.
