Hello! And, welcome to this fan fiction :) So, I've literally been more hooked up to Naruto fan fictions ever since the manga ended (sad time, sad times) and I really feel the need to write a new Naruto fan fiction. So, this story will follow canon, so every pairing that happened in canon will happen here. I doubt I'll put any filler chapters in but if I do, it would probably be the one's I find the most funny or something like that. I really like the idea of Minato and the rest reading his son's future and I really wanna try to write one myself. Here goes. It starts when they are in the middle of the third shinobi war.
Disclaimer: I own nothing of Naruto
"Have all the preparations been made?"
"Yes, Sire, the time-lapse will occur in approximately 8 hours time."
"...And the targets?"
"They will be in place when it happens."
"We only have one chance at this. If it fails, I fear for the future."
"It will not fail, Sire. Everything is going to happen according to the plan. I have complete faith in this."
Minato was officially a dead man walking. He blazed through the crowded path's of the street's of Konoha, hurriedly trying to reach his destination. All most people could see was a blonde blur streaking past them.
It wasn't his fault. That was the first thing he knew he was going to blurt out when he reached his destination. He could only imagine the scene he would arrive too. A red-haired, beautiful women glaring daggers at him for being late. He could imagine her arms crossed over her chest, her bottom lip jutted out. He knew he was going to hear an earful.
Turning around a corner sharply, he could see his goal just ahead of him. A small, stand, with white sheets hanging up. The smell of something heaven like filled his nose, and he let his thoughts stray for a moment. Ah, ramen. Nothing, absolutely nothing, could beat the food.
In a second later, he came back to his senses, only to suddenly jolt to a stop. Minato's lip curled in confusion as he looked at the group of people who pushed the white sheets of the restaurant open and stepped out in broad daylight.
Of course, the one he took into account was the women who he had left waiting. She didn't look too angry, no a small smile graced her delicate features as she talked to the older women beside her. Kushina. The women he was becoming to love more than anything. The one he also left waiting on their date. Yeah, he would be lucky to make it out alive.
What confused him was the people who surrounded her. The older women next to Kushina, had blonde hair, two think parts framing each side of her face. Her eyes were a light brown color. Tsunade. One of the legendary Sannin.
Along with them, were three small kids. His student. One of his students had white hair, defying gravity and wore a mask that covered half his face. Kakashi. Next to him, was a small girl with short brown hair, equally brown eyes, and two purple rectangle mark on each cheek. Rin. And, lastly was a young boy with spiky black hair and goggles around his forehead.
It wasn't unusual to see all of them together. It was just at this moment...they shouldn't be. Minato was sure that he had let his Genin students off for the day, and they were meant to be doing independent training. As for Tsunade, last he heard she was meant to be in hospital looking after the wounded. Why were they all here together?
Not left any time to ponder in his thoughts, Kushina had caught Minato standing on the middle of the streets. She, like he predicted, crossed her arms over her chest and glared.
"Minato, your late!" the women declared half-way across the street.
Minato hurriedly made his way to the group, a perfect remorse look on his face.
"I'm sorry, Kushina. I was early except I bumped into someone in the street and made them drop what they were carrying. I helped them pick it up and in return I am late. Sorry." Minato apologized.
"Humph, it's a good thing your cute." Kushina huffed, but it was already easy to tell her anger was melting away like ice.
"By the way, what are you three doing here?" Minato asked curiously as he looked towards his students.
"It's Obito's doing." Kakashi said with a drawl which caused Obito to explode with anger,
"What?! No, it's not! I didn't hear you say no to the man either! So, don't you dare blame this on me!"
Minato raised a curious eyebrow looking towards Rin, who was possibly the only one that could give him an explanation.
"Well, we were on our way to the training ground, when this girl suddenly came up to us. She asked us if we were free and if we can do her a favor. She said she wanted us to take this bag to 'Ichiraku ramen' for someone who was waiting for her here. But, when we arrived here, only Kushina was here." Rin explained.
Minato had to admit that was on odd request. He looked down at Obito's hand to see that he had in his grip a large black bag. Curiosity over took his mind. What was in it?
"Well, Obito wanted to open the bag to see what was inside, but I managed to stop the idiot." Kakashi said.
"What?! You wanted to look inside of it too."
Sighing, at the sight of his argumentative students he looked at Tsunade who was looking at the kids, amused.
"What about you Tsunade? Why are you here? I thought you were at the hospital."
"Ah, Minato, I was but some girl up to me saying she wanted to become a medic-nin and she was asking me numerous questions. After I answered them, she gave me a coupon for free ramen only available for this hour. Thought, I might as well use it." Tsunade said with a shrug.
"Free ramen? Aw, how lucky~" Kushina mused with stars in her eyes.
"That's even stranger." Minato mumbled.
"How is that strange, Sensei? I mean, Tsunade is one of the best medic-nin out here so if anyone did want to learn something about healing they would come to her." Rin asked.
Before Minato could even answer her, someone else decided to intrude at this exact moment,
"Minato? Tsunade? What are you guys standing out here for?"
The group looked over to the side to see a man with long white hair staring at them, one eyebrow raised. He had two red lines going down from his cheeks from his black eyes.
"Jiraiya?" Tsunade said surprised "I thoughts you already left Konoha. Weren't you meant to be going on a mission now?"
"I was going out...when I bumped into this smoking hot girl and she asked if I could meet her here at this time. As a great man, how could I say no?" Jiraiya replied, with a blush on his cheeks.
Tsunade rolled her eyes in annoyance and felt like punching that look off of her team-mates face. Jiraiya was oblivious to this as he was mentally still drooling over the women's image and was planning to ask if anyone has seen her. Before anything could happen, Minato spoke up,
"Doesn't this all seem...strange to you?"
Everyone turned to the blonde-haired man, each giving him a curious look.
"What do you mean, Minato?" Jiraiya asked, snapping out of his daze.
"I don't know, I kinda feel like we were all forced here..."
"Eh? What the hell do you mean by that?!" Obito shouted out.
Suddenly, it struck Minato. Something that every story he just heard made his mind go into overdrive. He turned sharply to Jiraiya before asking,
"This women that you bumped into. How did she look like?"
Jiraiya frowned in confusion, followed by a grin,
"Like, I said smoking hot! She had long brown hair and blue eyes. And, her figures was like here, and then it goes like that!" Jiraiya explained as he used his hands to demonstrate the women's figure.
Tsunade felt her eyebrow twitched,
"Jiraiya, you..." She raised a hand in a fist, not liking how he objectified the women but suddenly stopped in her to-be violet actions "...Despite your pervy explanation, that sounds a lot like the women who was asking me questions in the hospital."
"As I thoughts," Minato said, earning yet again, those confused stares "The reason I was late to our date was because I bumped into a girl with brown hair causing her to drop some food she had in her hands. I helped her and was late."
Something kind of clicked in all their minds at that moment. Tsunade, Kushina and Minato snapped their gazes to the three Genin who were eyeing each other uneasily. Obito's grip on the black bag he was holding tightened.
"The women who gave me this bag also had long brown hair. And, blue eyes."
"Damn it, this insane!" Kushina burst out "I met a brown-haired girl too! She came up to me before Tsunade arrived! I was going to leave because I hate waiting but the girl came up and said she would buy me a free ramen bowl!"
"And, you didn't think, you would question a stranger for buying you food?" Kakashi asked.
"It was free ramen! I didn't think much of it."
"This is impossible. We couldn't have all met the same women. Especially, near the same time." Minato said quietly.
What happened next, not one of them could stop. The bag in Obito's hand stated to shake. He could feel the vibration going up his arm like there were a million spiders crawling up it. He looked down at the bag only to see it suddenly being engulfed in bright, white, light along with his hand. And, in moment the light was growing out, blinding his vision.
"Sensei!" Obito screamed.
The light was blinding them all now. No one could react since they couldn't see. Most of them tried to shield their eyes to no avail.
"Obito, you need-"
The rest of his sensie words were lost.
His head ached. Badly. All he could really feel was the pounding against his skull. Gradually, he managed to open his eyes only to be looking at white. Pure white.
With a grown, Minato tried to move his body. His muscles ached. He managed to sit up, one hand reaching for his head to massage, only for it to drop lifelessly to the ground when he took into account where he was.
He was surrounded in white. There were white walls, four sides, white ceiling and even a white floor. He had no idea what lit the room up so he could see. The white floor he was sitting on was the most comfiest thing he had ever sat on in his life.
He looked down only to find his eyes catch onto pure red that stood out on the white floor. Kushina. She was lying on her side, curled up in herself, both hands next to her face. In the back of Minato's mind, he couldn't help but gush. She was so cute.
"Kushina," he whispered leaning in "Wake up."
"One more minute...Let me finish this ramen..." Kushina sighed sleepy.
Minato sweat dropped at that. He looked around the room to find the rest of his students and the sannin's, who were all slowly awaking. He was glad that they were all still together.
"Where the hell are we?!" Kushina shouted the moment she saw the room.
By then everyone was awake, and if not, by that scream they were now. Each looked wearily at the room.
"Obito! You had to take the black bag didn't you? Did you look inside it when we were talking!?" Rin shouted out, thinking only about the only logical thing that could have done this.
"Hey! I didn't do anything! The bag started vibrating and the next thing I know, we go poof with the bright light."
"Rin's right. You must have done something, idiot." Kakashi replied back.
Obito glared at the emotionless boy and before he could even speak, a feminine voice fluttered in this room,
"The young boy is right. He did nothing. I did."
Everyone snapped their heads around to see a young teenage female standing behind Minato and Kushina. Each of them were sure that she was not in the room before. The women wore, a plain white dress that reached passed her knees. Her hair was long brown, as long as her dress, and her eyes a vibrant blue. She smiled at them, as if to say she was no threat to them.
"It's you!" Obito shouted accusingly, as he pointed a finger at her.
Before she could reply, another voice broke out,
"You have done well, Angel."
Again, heads snapped round, this time to the figure standing behind Obito and his team-mates. It was a male. He was tall, bulky. A black robe/cape, covered his body head to toe making him look bigger then usual. A mess of black spikes lay on top of his head. His eyes, though is what made people freeze. They were blood-red. Nothing like the Sharingan eyes. No, these seemed more colder.
He seemed...wrong. Strange. Dangerous. Instantly, Minato reached into his pocket to take out his specialized Kunai, only to come empty-handed. His three-pronged Kunai were missing.
"What the-? Where are my Kunai?" Minato asked out loud as he was sure he had some on him.
This caused a chain reaction. Everyone reached into their pockets to find their weapons only, they couldn't. All their weapons were gone. Realizing they were defenceless on this aspect, made all the Konoha shinobi more agitated and worried. They decided to use chakra was the next best thing.
Although, none of them could feel anything. They couldn't do any of their jutsu's. None. It was like they had no chakra at all. Even, Kushina, who started to panic and get angry could not feel the Kyuubi chakra that was always on the edge of her skin.
"Don't worry," started the brown-haired girl "You still have your chakra. If we were to take that away then you would all be dead. Instead, we just...well how to say it...trapped your chakra. You still have it but you can't reach it."
All Konoha shinobi were silent for a second. They were completely defenceless in a way. If these people could stop their chakra, what else could they do?
"Ah, what the hell? Where the hell did you bring us?! I don't need my chakra to beat your asses!" Kushina yelled out frustratingly.
"Please, calm down, Uzumaki-San. We have no intention of hurting you."
Silence.
"How the hell do you know my name?" Kushina hissed slowly, and slowly, Konoha shinobi backed away from the enrage women. They each had a feeling that very soon, they were going to have a first hand experience on why people called her the 'red hot-blooded habanero."
"Ah, Kushina-San please calm down!" the brown-haired women started to say, before realizing her words, and started to shake her hands in a formal 'no' sign "I didn't mean to call you by your name directly. See, we know you...well kind off. It's not like we will ever meet or anything but, you see, we have-"
"Calm down, Angel." gruff the fully black clothed man.
"Yes, Sire." Angel, the brown-haired girl, agreed, bowing.
Another lapse of silence.
"Where are we?." Minato asked cautiously, not trusting these people at all.
"Good question, Namikaze-san. The way I would say this, is that we are currently in a...'limbo' type room. Before, you ask, no you are not dead. This room is a room that I and Angel have created that has all the properties of 'limbo'. Time and space do not affect this room at all." the fully black-clothed man explained.
Each shinobi nodded their heads, understandingly and in awe. Was this man saying that he made a place that stopped time and space?
"Shini, explains things really well." Angel pipes up from her place, gazing admiringly at the man.
"Two questions: One: How did you create this place and Two: Why the hell did you bring us here?" Obito asked out loudly.
Angel was the one to answer this time,
"You see, Obito-San, I can't really explain the first question. I and Sire, are bound by our own law never to reveal to those not of our world, what we are. But, let's just say, we have watched over your world for a long time. Let's just say we are watchers of your world. But, in the future of your world, things will go downfall. Destruction, chaos, despair will all be in the future. People lives should be taken when they should not ever die. I and Shini want to change this bleak future." Angel replied back.
"Well, why not change it?" Kakashi said with a shrug "You guys seem to be powerful. It must take a lot to bend time and space both, right? Just change it yourself."
"It is not that easy Hatake-San. Like, Angel has said, we are not of your world. We are merely watchers of it. We cannot interfere in what will occur in time. We cannot change the future. If we were to break the rules, then there would be dire consequences. But, that doesn't mean we can't bend them. The only people who can change the future...are you." Shini, the black clothed man, answered.
"That's why you gathered us all at the same place," Tsunade stated "So, you could bring us here to do what you want."
"Yes," Angel agreed "The only way we could bring you here was to create a time-lapse. Once the time-lapse happened we managed to get you guys to travel through space to get you here. That is why I interfered to make sure you all arrived at the same destination at the same time. The bag I gave Obito was just the trigger."
"Hehe, so it looked like she wasn't interested in you at all." Tsunade said giving a depressed Jiraiya beside her a grin.
"Sorry." Angel said looking down at the Sannin.
"Wait a minute. If we're going to change the future then that must mean that we need to know the future. Are we going to see the future?" Rin asked excitingly.
"That is exactly why are you are here. In this room, you have all the time in the world, literally, I'm speaking, to see the future. I am going to give you books which contain what will happen in the future. You will read these books." Shini explained.
"Why books? I hate reading books. Who would even be stupid enough to write the future in books?" Obito asked out loud.
His answer was sniffle behind him. All Konoha shinobi looked back to see Angel who looked like she was about to burst into tears.
"I wrote the books...And, it took a lot of time." the tearful girl almost wailed.
"Look what you did idiot!" Kakashi snapped at Obito.
"Ah, Angel. Stop crying. You know the boy never meant any harm at all." Shini said.
"Y-Yes Sire."
"So, now, all is explained, we can start." Shini announced.
He reached inside of his black cloak and suddenly out of nowhere produced a large book. Minato narrowed his eyes at that. There was no way that book could have been hidden in the black cloak all this time. Where did it suddenly come from?
Shini walked forwards and quickly placed the book in front of Obito who looked wearily at it. As soon as the book was down, Shini seemed to almost rushed back into his previous position for some odd reason.
"Just a head's up. The book revolves around a certain someone. Mostly because everything that happens in the future is because of him or because of the people who he hold's close to him or even the people he just comes into contact with. He is the key to change the future." Angel announces.
This caused Minato to look at the book curiously. How could the future revolve around someone specifically? Shouldn't it be a series events that cause the future, not a person? He wondered who it was.
"Oh and you should know that human needs don't affect you hear. That means you won't go hungry, thirsty or even sleepy. Although, you might wanna take short breaks from reading the book as it may affect you. Is there anything else that you think you may need?" Shini asked.
"How about a notebook and pen?" Kakashi asked "If we're going to change things about the future...can we at least write what we need to know or remember to change."
Shini nodded his head in agreement. He again reached inside his clock and magically brought out a notebook and pen which he went forwards to place in front of Kakashi. This time both Tsunade and Jiraiya as well as Minato caught on to his last thought about where the book had come from. Where did Shini suddenly get a notebook and pen from? He couldn't have always had it with him.
"Now, we need to leave." Angel giggled out.
"Why do you need to leave?" Rin asked feeling a bit disappointed. She was beginning to like this really cheerful girl.
"Like, Shini said, we are watchers of the world. So, we need to keep on watching. We can't stay here no matter what. If we stay too long then our powers may disrupt the time and space here. But, we will have to come back time and again to see how you are and give you the other books about the future after you finish this one."
"There's more?!" Obito cried out horrifyingly. This was a nightmare.
Everyone ignored him.
"Two last thing before we leave. There might be more people who can join you at any time. Once both mine and Angel strength has returned to the maximum we can send more people who need and can change the future to you. Which will happen very soon. You are the first though. And, last but not least, after you learn everything there will be a choice where we will ask you whether you want to change the future or not." Shini explained.
"Wait," Jiraiya was the one to interrupt this time "I thought all this was about us changing the future. And, its obvious that we will most likely will change it. Why do you need to ask us if we want too at the end?"
"Because, Jiraiya-San, we cannot force you to change the future. It will break the rules. The decision must all be yours." Angel said.
Before anyone could say anything more, both Angel and Shini just disappeared. Everyone was surprised. It was weird. Like one second they were here and the next...they were not.
"I'm glad it worked, Sire. I was worried I was going to fail."
"You did not. That is what matters. Now, I only hope they make the right decision."
"They will, Sire. I believe in them...Do you think they will every figure out what we are?"
"...They are a clever bunch of shinobi. Let's wait to find out."
Everyone was silent, pondering in their own thoughts about all that they just heard. It was too much to take in, too much to believe. Yet, it is all real. How? Why? They still had much to figure out.
"Well, might as well, get started!" Obito announced as he grabbed the red-covered book in his hands.
"Wait, Obito!" Rin scolded "Shouldn't we talk about what just happened? And about those people?"
Obito just stared at her.
"There's no point Rin. They made everything clear. We are not going to get out until we read these...these...books! So, might as well do this. And, I am super curious as well."
Rin could not argue at that. Instead, she just sighed defeated and looked on at Obito who was examining the title at the beginning of the book.
"Naruto Uzumaki." Obito read out loud.
...
"WHAT?!" everyone screeched out load at the same time, Kushina the loudest of all.
Everyone looked at the poor red-haired women whose face matched her hair perfectly.
"I-Is that meant to be my s-son?" Kushina stuttered out uncharacteristically. She knew there was no one named Naruto in her clan at all.
"It probably is," Jiraiya shrugged "It looks like you finally did it, huh?"
Wrong choice of words. A fist came smashing down on Jiraiya's head, causing him to cry out in pain, and a big lump formed on his head. Tsunade grinned satisfyingly next to Jiraiya, her hand still clenched in a fist. She enjoyed it. Kushina was being held back by Minato at first but as soon as she saw the punched, she calmed down, also happy that Jiraiya was punished.
"Congratulations, Kushina." Rin said carefully, hoping not to anger the women by her words.
Kushina just smiled back at the girl politely. She indeed felt a warm, gooey feeling in her chest. She had a son in the future. She always did want a family a long way down the road. But, she couldn't help but wonder...Who was the father? If this was her kid, wouldn't he have taken on his father's name? Everyone did think along the same lines, but Minato was worried. Was his relationship with Kushina not going to last? He loved her so much, so dearly. He didn't want to think that he could lose her.
"So, this book revolves around your son then?" Kakashi asked.
"That's obvious, idiot. His name is the title." Obito snickered.
Kakashi gained a tick mark on his forehead and looked ready to hit Obito.
"Obito, please if you will, start reading." Minato interrupted, not wanting his Genin to start fighting now.
Obito nodded his head and opened up the book on the first page,
"Chapter One..."
And done! Yes, I am going to be cruel and leave it there! Muwhahaha! I just want to finish the first episode in the next chapter and stuff so that why. But, also give this a very strong start. I hope you guys like what I have done so far...What do you think of Angel and Shini? Have any idea on who they are?
So, I hope you read and Review! I might update this next week if I get enough reviews :)
Till next time..See yh!
