So I am taking creative liberties with this episode and no one really knows where to put it in the timeline and that is fine. They don't all have to be that linear. And it helps me in the long run. But if I am wrong, please let me know.

Yes, Naruto does seem perfect, planned that because the more you are liked, others will find a reason not to like you. So not even Naruto will be immune to getting people Akumatized. After all, Marinette indirectly did it too. Add that, with the...unstable guilt he had acquired from leaving his village, it has messed him up somewhat. Certain words can trigger people and cause a panic attack. I guess I would say...this chapter will have the beginnings of many of that.

Enjoy.

Naruto plopped down on his red sofa and smiled. Across from him was a glass table that had his laptop on it, surrounded by photographs. These photographs were taken just the other day when their class picture was taken. They excited him because he was making new memories here and the only real photo he had from back home was the one his old team took reluctantly.

He still kept it of course as a reminder, but it was now joined by better memories. It was nice to have class photos, but one person was missing. The dark clothed girl named Juleka. Shaking his head, he remembered what Chloe had done. She ordered Sabrina to make sure the girl was late for her picture...all because she wanted to stand by him and Adrien.

That, in turn, caused the nice goth girl to be akumatized into Reflekta and man that was trippy. Being forced to transform into a pink girl like most of the other school had been, was confusing. Now he knew why people hated it when he spammed clones.

Thankfully, a pink girl version of Cat Noir and him were able to help Ladybug cause enough confusion that they got their friend back. That led to him funding another class picture outside of school and a few other joke pictures just for fun. He even convinced Chloe and Sabrina to join in so they had a full class picture.

The other pictures were special to him as while a few of them were just the class goofing off, he managed to convince a few people to do a few strange posed pictures. There was one that had Chloe in the middle with both himself and Adrien at her sides. She had the biggest smug look on her face. At the time, Chloe insisted they do that, but he wasn't sure why as it pissed off Marinette. What he didn't know was that Chloe did it to show she had two hot guys are her sides.

So...he did one with Marinette in the middle. He did this as an inside joke to himself and Nathanial. That he included himself in Adrien and Marinette's lives and to be symbolic of the future. That he would be joining them as superheroes. But they didn't need to know that just yet. Plus, seeing Marinette's face beat red at being in a picture with her crush was cute.

The next one was just him, Adrien, and Nino laughing hysterically at a joke he cracked and a bit of Cat Noir coming out where a pun was involved. This just showed him how close they had gotten as friends. Then came the one with him, Marinette, Juleka, and Rose. That was something Rose had insisted upon as they were grateful to him for funding these pictures and for Marinette as she was the one to suggest it.
