*a mile in eachothers-shoes**
[author note summary: RTN-verse/naruto-verse fic. menma wishes he never had parents, naruto wishes he could go back to RTN-verse. they each wake up in eachothers world, and are there for the weekend...but, not everything is what it seems, and in the end both learn the grass isn't always greener on the other side.side note: also the movie was confusing. if naruto, and sakura switched lifestyles then wouldn't sakura be the jinchuuriki?, and menma be the tsundere-type....everyone else is just the oposite selves]
*naruto-verse story*
16 years ago a nine-tailed fox was sealed into naruto.

sakura: being jinchuuriki, being seen as the heros daughter...living in his shadow.
naruto: -thinks- she had it better than i did-
*naruto-verse*
*menma decides to hop on the hokage monuement on minato's head*
menma: so, my alternate self don't have parents...hey how come sakura's not up here? we usually hangout everyday in my world.
*next day:SATURDAY*
*rtn-verse*
kushina: -wakes naruto up- menma. sakura's here. she says you all have to train with kakashi today-
naruto: thanks mom -he looks at the clock- 3:00am?...-sweatdrop-
*team 7 at the tree where kakashi's waiting*
kakashi: hello youthful students! let's run around konoha, and enjoy this starlite night. theeen we can watch the sunrise -runs off-
naruto: kakashi-sensei?...did he switch roles with gai?
sakura: i wish gai-sensei's very melancholy...unlike kakashi-sensei whoes an enthusiast.
sasuke: -gives sakura a rose- a pink rose that matches your hair!
naruto: -sweatdrop-
sakura: -takes it- thank you. -hands it to naruto- for you menma-chan for such a great night last night
naruto: thank you sakura
sasuke: -sweatdrop-
naruto: HA! -points to sasuke- rejected!
sasuke: -blinks-. i'm used to it. i love girls' but, i'm rejected by them all the time
naruto: -thinks- because your either a player, or a jerk.-
*the three decide to just walk around, and talk they go to the graveyard they notice gai by a tomb rock stone*
naruto: whoes he here visitoing?
sakura: i guess his father's grave. maito dai. they used to be very close
gai: -notices team 7- so, kakashi got you three to train early? guess he took the three o-clock fairy myth seriously -sighs- sometimes its hard to tell illusion from reality though
naruto: don't you and lee train together?
gai: no...we don't get along...plus what can i teach any of my students? this world always finds a way to get us down. drain our souls'. what if i give them all the training i can...then something happens?
sakura: well, we should go.
gai: alright.
*the three walk off*
sakura: jeez talking to him is depressing!
sasuke: i know. if i need a sleep aid i'll just talk to gai-sensei.
*all laugh*
sakura: but, in a way he is kind of right? i mean how would we know what'll happen?...sometimes we don't even know how powerful WE ourselves are. it's like the mind is weak against the strong heart.
sasuke: oh no. it's contaigous!
naruto: true...sometimes all we need is someone to be there for us.
sakura: yeah -sadly- but, what if thats not enough? we can't always figure out what we need because we're so caught up with what we want
sasuke: ok...i'm going to find kakashi-sensei! you two are sucking the joy out of my life! -runs off-
sakura: it's almost like it's possible to be dead inside...guess thats what happens when the spirit is crushed...or the soul shatters
naruto: or the heart breaks...I KNOW! lets go see if ichiraku's open
*sakura, and naruto run, and hangout together*

*rtn-verse*
*that night naruto decides to rest on the monuement...on haruno's head*
naruto: -gazes at the stars- i enjoy it here...but not to the pint i wanted sakura to suffer the same loneliness as i have...in this world menma seems to be her only true friend. but, in mine we have many friends...so, we know 100% narusaku's end game because we grown closer.
*naruto-verse*
menma: this is the most loneliest life evr...parents aren't so bad after all.
*the next day they switched back to eachothers world menma learned to appriciate his parents. because it would be very lonely to never know a parents love. naruto learned that sometimes the way you live can make you stronger, and give you the strenghth to push yourself to make those around you see that having very little, or nothing doesn't make a person weak. it's whats on the inside that counts*
*a photo of sakura and naruto kissing pop up on the screen*
