Title: Nothing came to mind.

...

By the time we arrived at the Sarutobi clan, it was already evening. I along with the Uchihas and Hana walked in carelessly without even bothering to greet the ninjas on guard.

"Isn't that a bit too rude?" Itachi asked but I shook my head. "Nah. I live here anyways. And they all know I don't like them."

"You don't like them? Why?" This time, it was Izumi who asked. "It's the Third Hokage's clan, you know..."

"I am very much aware, Izumi, but some things come with age... You wouldn't understand." I said as I turned my head to her with a smile. "Itachi, you too. I believe you're much more intelligent than others our age... No offense girls."

"None taken." They both answered.

"So you should try and reason more. Not everything is black and white as they show it." I said and turned back to the road.

"Black and white?" He asked.

"Yeah. Good and bad. Don't mind it. You'll understand more as you grow." I told him. "You speak as if you're any older than us." Hana said with a cute pout.

"But of course dear... I'm a Ge-omph!"

"I told you I didn't want to hear that didn't I?" There she was standing menacingly above my bent form as I clutched my stomach. Hana was currently releasing a certain aura which even she didn't know she had. Curse my spiritual sensitivity.

Women really were weird creatures. A couple minutes back I was beating the hell out of her but here she is, managed to land a solid hit on me without even me knowing.

I dread the day she'd want to slap me... I doubt even my instinct would save me from her... Nami and Ria were like that too. Thankfully, Kaguya is rather tame and traditional as compared to those two.

"Gotcha." I bit out before she harrumphed and crossed her arms.

Sigh. The woes of speaking the truth. Even telling others the truth of me being a genius gets me beaten.

"Let's continue." I said and we continued our trek.

The Sarutobi clan had a rather good atmosphere... They were all close and all, no unnecessary politics and the likes... Atleast, I haven't seen that.

The children were allowed a place to even play, they even had a small market inside the clan compound. Infact, all clans seemed to have one, despite the big ass one inside the village.

Probably didn't want to overly mix in with the Civilians too much... Heh, idiots.

"We're here." I said as we came upon a relatively huge Japanese styled mansion eating away a huge amount of space that could be used for something else, but...who am I to judge?

"I am back!" I shouted as I followed their due process and took off my sandals at the front.

"Welcome back!" I heard my dearest sister's voice from within the house. She had opted to stay at home for the most part of the day so as to take proper care of Naruto.

Biwako had offered to be his nanny but both sister and I strongly refused. Yusano can be quite protective sometimes when it gets annoying...which is very good.

"How's little Naruto?" I asked as I motioned for the group to follow up.

"He's as lively as Nee-san." Yusano answered as she came into sight with Naruto in her arms.

"Well, that's expected. He's an Uzumaki afterall. "

"Yup. Kushina always had a lot of energy to spare. I wonder how Minato-nii managed to keep her together." She said with a fond smile.

"Well, that's love, I guess. Don't understand adult's world." I said and took Naruto from her. She gasped mockingly and asked. "Even with your Genius?"

"Nee-san, my Genius only applies to things of the world." I defended myself.

"Hmm? But you said adult's world, did you not?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Aren't adults part of the world? The things of the world your Genius applies to?"

"Nee-san?"

"Hmm?"

"Shut up."

"Gasp! The disrespect! I'll have you know I am the elder of us two," she began but before she could continue with her theatrics, I created a clone. "Go find Kakashi and-" Puff.

"The clone did you no wrong Nee-san." I said to the angry looking Yusano who just skewered my dear clone with multiple ice spikes.

"Yeah... But it seems like you almost made it."

"Alright, let's stop this meaningless argument, we have guests you know."

"That's true." She said as her dangerous aura immediately morphed into one of utmost friendliness.

"Welcome boy and girls. Forgive the earlier display, do you mind having some tea?" She asked in a girly manner which was honestly disturbing.

"Nope. We just came here to fetch Naruto, we'll be out of your hair now." I said and motioned for the two Uchihas and Hana to follow me.

"Where are you taking him?!" She shouted and hurried to block my path.

"To the Uchiha clan, to meet the little Sasuke." I said and walked around her. "Nee-san did say she wanted her little baby to be Sasuke's friend so..."

"I see. Then come back safe." She smiled and excused them.

"Ah! I may not come back tonight." Saying that, we ran away from the house.

Thankfully, there wasn't anyone to tell me not to leave with their precious Jinchuriki or I might have Tsukuyomi-ed their asses.

Hiruzen did say that Jiraiya would be back this week to meet his Godson but it has been over a month since that day. What is so important that he couldn't return at the earliest notice?

I really want to dislike him for actually leaving his Godson in the hands of a bastard like Hiruzen for twelve good years but... I'm the bigger man.

"Alright, one hurdle down, let's hurry over to your place, Itachi."

"Hai,"

"I'm afraid we can't let you do that."

Geh! Hurdles number two. These Sarutobi idiots. Look at them, obviously afraid of me yet obstructing my way. I mean, I would love to get angry at them but... Sigh what a pain.

"Huh!? And since when did I receive orders from the likes of you?" I asked them in a thug-like voice.

"You aren't obligated to follow orders, but we were charged to protect you three until the flames of the Kyuubi Rampage subsided." One mean looking handsome middle aged man said.

"I see... But, since when did I or my sister require your protection? I for one don't need it, not to mention my dearest sister."I said in a contemplative look before asking. "Are you saying you're all stronger than both me and my sister?"

"That's..."

"Are you capable of protecting us from harm?"

"Yes... That's the order."

"I see. I'll turn back only on one condition." I said with a smile as I transformed my clothes to wrap Naruto tighter to myself.

"What condition?" The mean looking man asked.

"If you're able to stop me from leaving, I'll turn around." I said and they all stiffened. "Worry not, I won't be removing my blindfold. That'd be too much for the likes of you."

I know Red mentioned I should minimize the way I use the abundance of spiritual energy in my sea of consciousness but I gotta try and see how well I can manipulate this energy without my eyes.

I haven't really fought anyone with my Senjutsu Chakra as people like Jiraiya, Keshiro, Yatsuyo, Tsunade and Orochimaru are quite sensitive to it... Hell, even Hiruzen seems sensitive to Natural Energy.

How that happened still baffles me.

"Are you looking down on us, brat?!" One mob Jounin asked. But since he's a Jounin, and his chakra capacity is good enough to be called one, calling him a mob is a tad bit disrespectful.

"Far from that my dear, but I do have someplace to be and a promise to keep, so I'll be dispatching you lot as soon as possible. Here I come." I said and immediately poured out my spiritual energy into the wind, manipulating it into tiny particles to create various unnoticeable sounds.

As soon as I finished, I pushed the wind towards them but the fools were still waiting for me to make my move and didn't seem to notice the change in their brains.

Similar to Itachi who in the anime, could induce Genjutsu with only a tweak of his body, I was merely putting them into a Genjutsu by manipulating their sensory organ, the ear to be exact.

No one can guard against sound similar to how one can't guard against the wind. You either dodge or you're dead. Well, if anyone of them is lucky enough to be a lightning element user then good, unfortunately the Sarutobi clan is a clan of Fire, similar to the Uchiha.... Or so they think.

"Let's go." I said and continued walking only to realize that no one was following behind me. "We don't have all day kids, chop chop!"

"S-Shun... How did you do that? Why are they still standing there looking at no one in particular?" Izumi asked curiously.

"I just caught them in a time loop. They'll continue seeing three seconds of the time since I said 'Here I come' repeatedly." I answered the cute girl.

"Time loop? What's that?" Hana asked

"Like this." I said and put her in one where she had to relieve our conversation since I said 'We don't have all day kids.'

After reliving it ten times, I released her and she immediately went to punch me. Thankfully I stopped it this time. "That's...wicked!" She said with tears in her eyes.

"I know, I'm sorry." I apologized but the tears kept falling until she started sobbing which ended quickly as she composed herself. She then looked at the men behind and asked.

"Then aren't they going to pass through a similar thing?"

"Nope. Unlike yours, they aren't aware. It's like they're stuck in time for as long as I will it." I motioned for us to leave. The sun was already setting and we needed to be at the Uchiha compound soon.

"So for them, only three seconds have passed while minutes or even hours would've passed in reality..." Itachi Reasoned from my statement.

"Exactly, but as a little punishment, all that time they missed will be jammed into their heads when they're released." I grinned as I remembered the same fate I had inflicted on that poor Jounin on that night.

Unfortunately for him, he made eye contact and I was actually angry back then, so I may have, kinda, like, perhaps put him in a hellish dreamscape.

Not like it matters, Hahahaha.

"That's interesting. But aren't you a little bit too strong?" He asked and I sighed, but as I wanted to say the next thing, I felt a chill run down my spine.

I turned and saw the cute Izumi and Hana looking at me with a gaze which could kill. "Ahem, you three can reach my level with proper practice. Don't mind me, I'm just built... different."

"Is that so..." Itachi mused out loud with a smile as we continued on our way.

...

"This is it guys," Itachi said as we stood in front of the Uchiha Clan compound. "Be careful." He said and walked in.

"Don't worry Itachi, I probably know how to deal with the Uchiha more than you do." I said and patted my chest with my free hand. The view was rather comical and cute as I could already hear a couple 'Kyaa' directed at our party.

Itachi was cute on his own, I was cuter, and with the baby, I was probably a cute bomb, not to mention the chibi girls beside us. We could probably pass off as a bomb chuck full of Cuteness.

Itachi nodded to everyone who greeted him while I put on my kindest smile.

"Is that how to deal with the Uchihas?" Izumi couldn't help but ask herself to which Hana shrugged and Itachi seemed to contemplate it.

"This isn't the Uchiha I am talking about. Oh. Here they come."

"Yo, Itachi-kun, who are the people behind you? You know outsiders aren't allowed inside the clan compound, right?" A stupid looking Uchiha dorning a Chunin jacket as well as Police Unit attire. He was followed by three extra stupid looking Uchihas who wore the same attire.

Guess that's why he's arrogant... However...

"Huh!? Who's this dipshit Itachi?" I asked in an equally arrogant tone. "How dare you obstruct the path this Young master walks on? You got a death wish? Huh? Huh?"

"Do you know who you're talking to, brat?" One of his lackeys asked while raising his voice.

"Do you know who you're talking to you shitface? I'll have you know that if you don't roll out of here, you won't have the chance to do so in a bit."

"Who's this kid? Threatening us so blatantly?"

"We have to detain him for questioning, he looks suspicious."

"Yeah. One of you, report to the chief."

"Get him!"

One ordered, and immediately, they all sprung into actions as they went to capture a kid... Me... Wow. How honorable of them, but alas, I didn't want them to feel shame so.

"How pitiful." I said as I dodged them. "You have no shame, full fledged Chunin, clamoring to capture a kid still in the academy and failing woefully at that."

"However, I've always been one to show equality in all things so..." Crack. Crack. Crack.

The bones in my body began cracking as my form twitched and I grew, Seven, eight, nine, all the way to what I would look like in my seventeen.

This Divine Transformation Technique really is something. But my little body would bear the backlash as soon as I reform back. It isn't ready to take up this much pressure... Welps, I can take this as physical training.

Afterall, my body needs to catch up with my spirit... Fast.

Still cradling Naruto in my arms, I said. "Now, let's have a memorable battle..."

"Heh, you think transforming into an adult makes you an adult?"

"What a joke."

"Get him!"

"Sigh... At least, I'll make it memorable for you four... I'll probably forget your existence as soon as I turn away from you." I said as my figure blurred.

BOOM.

An unfortunate Uchiha had the misfortune of impacting his body on my fist, sending him flying into a building nearby. Without waiting for the others to regain their wits, their bodies woefully met with my fist, dislocating and fracturing them in the process.

"How sad. And you have the gall to be arrogant in front of this Young master!" I said to the downed police men. If this was in Hanagakure, these fellows would be charged for Threatening Civilians inside the village but alas...

This village copied our system so they have a lot of flaws... Stupid Tobirama.

"What's going on here?!" A thick and meanest voice I've ever heard in a long time sounded from the crowd.

People gave way as a man wearing a kimono walked out of the crowd. He had short, brown hair that reached to his shoulders and onyx-coloured eyes, with visible creases below them made more pronounced as he adopted a stern look which looked eerily like that of a contemplating Itachi. He wore a simple kimono with gray pants which had the clan's symbol on the back when not on duty.

"Father," Itachi went and greeted him with a bow to which he acknowledged. Hmm, he looks different from the man I saw during the war... Meh.

Itachi then went on to explain what transpired while I returned to my child form only to see the two girls looking at me with awed expression and what seemed to be blood? on their noses.

"Why are you looking at me that way?" I asked.

"What was that, Shun? Who was that?" Hana asked, pointing to me and then moving her hands weirdly.

"Oh... That was or that would be me in a few years, I guess." I answered.

"You guess?" Izumi asked.

"Yup. But that's a story for another time." I said, and as soon as I said that, Fugaku said, "Follow me,"

"With pleasure. Patriarch-san."
