Last time:

They didn't know that it was Naruto who destroyed the lights. He was listening and wasn't happy. Naruto sat on his cot in his room and grinned "well, if they don't want us, we'll find someone who does. We'll start planning in the morning once they leave to train"

XXXXXXXXXX

The next morning Naruto snuck back into Minato's library. He decided to start with chakra control. So he picked up the first scroll and started reading. Faster than humanly possible he devoured scroll after scroll. Naruto glanced up from the scroll he was currently reading and did a double take. He got so distracted while reading he didn't notice that he made a huge pile from the scrolls he finished.

Naruto panicked, he only intended to read for a few minutes! He looked at the clock. He blinked and looked again. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. According to the clock, he read half the library in 20 minutes!

"I truly am going mad ... hmmm could I have gotten smarter? What do you think Blinky?" The blonde asked the light bulb he was petting. He found a box of light bulbs after Minato fixed the chandelier took a liking to this one. He named it Blinky.

"You're right, Blinky! I should stop wondering and just finish before those things return." Naruto quickly went through the rest of the library. He was just putting the last book back in its place when Minato, Kushina and Rin returned.

Naruto slipped back into his room and looked at the map he found in the library, "What do you think, Blinky? Where should we go? Sand? No Blinky, we can't go there, they're allies with the Leaf. They'll bring us back! What about Stone? No? You're right Blinky, too many rocks. Hmmmm Mist?"

Scientist decided to pitch in, "Sorry, but we can't go to Mist, there's a war going on. Besides, the visibility is bad."

Naruto pouted, "Scientist is right, Blinky. That leaves Cloud."

Scientist nodded from inside Naruto's mind, "That could work. There are a lot of people with lightning affinities so we'd blend in nicely."

Naruto nodded, "Then it's decided! We go to Cloud!" He felt his stomach growl, "Time to eat,"

Naruto poked his head out of his room to see if anybody was around. No one was, so he opened his door and went to the kitchen. He quietly made and ate his meal so he didn't bother anyone. After eating he cleaned up and made his way back to his room, but just before he got to the safety of his room a blur flew past him and knocked him over. That blur was Rin racing to the basement to watch a movie with Minato and Kushina.

Naruto groaned as he sat up, "That mini red thing is rude. Right, Blinky? ... Blinky?" The blonde looked around and saw Blinky or the remains of Blinky scattered along the floor "NO! Blinky!" He gave off sparks of electricity and walked towards the stairs that led to the basement wanting to kill them.

Scientist felt Naruto start to lose it so he dragged Naruto into their shared mind.

In Naruto's mind

Naruto was crying on the ground, "Why did you stop me? They should die for killing Blinky!" Naruto yelled at Scientist.

Scientist frowned and sat next to Naruto, "I know you want to avenge Blinky, but we can't just attack. Minato and Kushina are kage level ninjas and we know nothing about our abilities or how to control them. If we just attack we could be killed and I doubt Blinky would want that." Scientist kneeled next to Naruto and laid a comforting hand on Naruto's shoulder, "How about this, you stay here a little bit and grieve and I'll take control?"

Naruto sniffled and nodded as Scientist left ...

Outside Naruto's mind

The blonde's posture shifted into a relaxed slouch as Scientist took control of their shared body, "So this is what it's like to be in control ... I don't like it." He saw Blinky's remains, "I know you were just a light bulb, but Naruto did care about you so I will give you a proper burial."
