A/N: Hello this is going to be my first time travel fanfic, hurray!... So anyway... I decided to create a time travel fic since I've always been interested in making one myself. That and I can't stop the ideas from swirling in my head... So for the sake of my own sanity I'll be uploading this for you all to hopefully enjoy.
Prologue
A thick fog laid over the surrounding mountain side as the the moonlight casts a cold luminance on the landscape.
"Its still too early to take a break..." A callous voice cuts through the silent night as a young adolescence struggles to find the strength to lift himself from the ground.
"ngh..." he moans back attempting to reply.
"If your not interested in continuing then neither am I, stand or I'm leaving." The voice replied noticeably more stern.
The boy rose at the remark barely finding the ability to balance himself into a standing position. "Hai!" the blonde yells in a horse confirmation.
"Good..." The blue haired man behind the voice finally appears through the thick fog standing before the much shorter preteen.
The blonde swirls the blood expelled from his throat during his previous reply with his tongue as he stares down the tall blue haired man. His gaze intensifies as the silent tension fills the air. He understood what the blue hair man was doing as it was a habit he displayed constantly during all his previous dealings with him. He was gazing at him, weighing him, judging him as he always did. The boy could hardly recall the gaze of anyone else that left him as nervous, the eyes of this blue hair manned that seemed to judge the value of your entire existence at a single glance.
"I thought you'd still have more chakra left..." The blue haired man said dead panned.
The young blonde said nothing and merely continued to stare the his sensei down.
"... Very well..." His sensei muttered as he pulled a scroll from his cloak and tossed it to him.
The whiskered child snatched the scroll from the air and quickly unwrapped it.
"Its a map marking the location of several small temples you can find throughout these highlands. You're going to visit each one and mark the ground with an Uzumaki symbol like so.." The Elder Uchiha spoke as he demonstrated marking the muddied ground with his finger. "You will finish this before morning or you can forget about anymore training. If you fail don't even bother trying to find me, I'll already be gone"
"h-hai..." The winded preteen uttered as the blue haired man disappeared back into the mist watching as his illuminated eyes finally faded into the dense fog.
The trek was dangerous and several times the boy was certain he would fall off the mountain side but the boy carried on gripping the mountain side desperately as he climbed vertically up the rocky mountain. There were no paths nor roads on his journey and the mountains were more like pillars of rock that reached up towards the night sky. He rationed the remainder of his chakra weighing his physical condition with his chakra reserves in the hopes he'd be able to make both last as long as possible, too little chakra and he'd certainly give out from exhaustion, too much and he'd surely die.
At last he reached the first temple as he slowly entered the cave carved into the mountainside. This was the first temple but it was by no means the closest, but there was a reason he'd chosen to go to it first, strategy. Yes strategy, the task given to him wasn't just some endurance jockey mountain climbing marathon, it required strategy if he was going to reach them all before daybreak. By reaching he furthest one it would give him access to a mountain passage that all the temples were short proximity from. He imagined its how they were constructed in the first place. The real task was to analyze the map and make a judgment call on the most efficient way to reach all the designated targets failure would lead to exhaustion to the point of death or attempting to climb more difficult terrain that could kill you outright.
The first temple revealed itself to be much larger than he expected within the cave. A large hollowing with a circular opening to the sky shined light on a massive fifteen meter tall monk statue holding a mirror towards the cave exist.
All that was left was to leave a mark at the first temple and make out the rest of his-
"Hey there dope!" A feminine voice interrupted his thoughts.
He finished laying the marking and began to walk out of the cave.
"HEY! Don't just ignore me you fucking teme!" She growled at him as she noted the affect of her final word on him.
"What?..." He finally responded. Teme huh? His father's favorite casual word rummaged inside his head.
"Geeze, don't give me such a warm hello you're embarrassing me... teme" The raven haired girl jeered with a smirk.
Again with my old man's word. He grimaced. "What are you even doing here in the first place? This place isn't exactly a light stroll length from your home. I'm training now you're in the way..." He replied back sternly. "Besides don't you have training to do with my father?"
"I can ask you the same question. Dad was suppose to come home two days ago! But instead he's here off with his star pupil just training it up!" She scowled at him.
Star pupil she says? Keh! "Yes, and? I'm too busy right now to play with you." The blonde shooed her off.
"HA?! Don't you dare shrug me off!" The female Uchiha tugged at his collar from behind. "What you having too much of a blast training with my dad to answer just a few darn questions?! Shanaroo!" She barked off at him.
Honestly, what nonsense is this girl spouting off now? Can't she see clearly my relationship with her father is nothing like the apprenticeship she has with mine or is she really blinded that much by her father figure issues? "Listen to me! I don't have any time for this you can ask him anything you want yourself. I have to-"
"NIIIIIISAN!~" A energetic female shape human projectile shrieked off as she jumped from the cave entrance.
"Wha-" The blonde blathered as he awaited the inevitable. Dear god no. Not another 'sisterlove kamakazi' hug.
"I'm still talking here!" The female Uchiha yelled as she tightened her grip and tugged more forcefully on the him.
"Will you all jus-" He stopped himself short as he noticed a bright blue hue resonate from the statue. "What on earth-" He turned to face the moon that could be seen clearly from the cave entrance.
"Hehehehe!" His sister began to giggle as she flew through the air about to strike her target.
"Himawari-chan don't!" The blonde yelled as the moonlight hit the statue mirror causing it to shine brightly in a blinding display of blue light.
"What the fuck is that?!" The raven hair girl cries out.
Shit! The Uzumakis finally reunite in a unstoppable cascade of events as all three are pushed into the mirror and disappear through it.
Well there was the prologue! To answer some questions, no this doesn't mean I've given up on my other fanfics, I've actually gotten through half of the final chapter of changing leaves. This is simply another work I'm going to be starting up to stop these ideas from driving me insane :D!
With that said review, fav, follow! Just updated trying to root out a few more mistakes if you find any feel free to correct them in the review.
