Chapter 1: A Time for Before

It was early in the morning and most of the classmates were talking together about how their parents treat them unfairly by not being home.

"It's not fair"

"I know, they always leave on missions"

"They are back now, so why are you complaining"

"Because they kicked us out the house Shikadai"

"Obviously It was a tough mission, if the Hokage and all of our moms and dads were sent. They just want to rest"

Shikadai, Chocho,Inojin,Boruto,Sarada,Shikari and Metal were at the training grounds located right outside of Konoha. Recently all their parents returned from a S-rank mission.

"Boruto,Metal. You don't think we feel the same way. It sucks"

"Whatever Shikari, I believe they should be at home with us. How else are we going to train to become genin without them"

"I know it's a drag, I wish they could be at home more"

Sarada was getting mad at the conversation, she rarely got to see her dad. "Are you guys really complaining, I see my dad maybe twice a year. If anyone should be upset it's me"

Out of nowhere a cloud of thick purple smoke appeared before them. With it came thunder and lightning and pouring rain.

"Dammit, I thought it wasn't suppose to rain today"

"Fuck the rain, But am I the only one that sees the smoke"

"Shikari you shouldn't be swearing at a time like this"

"CHOCHO, SMOKE RANDOMLY APPEARED"

"ENOUGH ALREADY" All the kids stop complaining, as they realized a ghost in front of them.

"I am Yuurei. A spirit that has been looking upon Konoha since its founding. I noticed that you have been ungrateful for the things your parents have

done"

"Yuurei, we're not ungrateful we just wish-"

"Boruto Uzumaki, you have the most to be grateful for. Seeing how you kids don't appreciate your parents, I will give you a task.

"BOOM" After this roll of thunder everything went pitch black.

oooooooooo

All the kids were asleep on the training grounds. It was still raining and the sun was barely peaking up from behind the horizon. Shikari was the first to awake because of the loud thunder that had just occurred. She looked around and saw everyone sleep, but what she also noticed was a huge box that seemed to never get wet, even though it was raining.

'Shit, everyone's still asleep. Come to think of it, I don't remember falling asleep. Somethings off'

"EVERYONE, WAKE UP" Everyone arose when they heard her scream.

"Ri, what's wrong" Shikadai jumped up to his sisters yelling.

"Come look, this box has some stuff" Everyone gathered around her as she opened the box. The first thing she pulled out was a letter.

"What does it say, hurry and read it Shikari"

"Hold up Boruto, it says,

'To the children I encountered last night, you are on a quest that you must discover by yourself. You will know once it is completed. Here is some stuff, so you can get to the village. Here are some things to remember:

try to kept yourselves a secret

1 year here, is 1 day there

Talk to the head, tell them your predicament

Help out

In time you will understand what this mean, but for now a hopefully a better You is to come.'

"What the hell is that suppose to mean"

"I don't know, but let's get going to the village"

As the walked to the gates, they noticed how everything looked different. "Guys what happened yesterday"

"Whatever happened, It destroyed Konoha. Naras you're smart, what could have happened"

"We know just as much as you, but based on the letter, it says talk to the head. I assume he meant the Hokage. Uncle Naruto might be in his office taking care of this"

They walked through the village, noting how everything was pretty much in ruins. There were tents set up and people talking to one another, but completely different from yesterday.

"So there is no Hokage's tower, as we can clearly see. I know it's troublesome but we might as well ask someone, ummm him" Shikari walked up to a guy, with long brown hair and eyes like Hinata. She never seen him around the village but he was the only person that didn't look busy. To Boruto he looked familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Excuse me sir, do you know where the Hokage is at right now"

"She was in a meeting, but she should be done. I'll take you to her"

They walked behind him, through they many tents that they hadn't seen before. "He said the Hokage was a girl" Inojin whispered to the rest of the group.

"Yea I know, maybe he made a mistake"

"You guys look familiar, but I know I've never seen you in Konoha before"

Before anyone could respond, he stopped them in front of a building. "We're here, You guys should be as respectful as you can. She could be a little difficult at times"

"Lady Tsunade, we have visitors. There actually kids who wanted to see you"

"I see, well there are seven of you so I assumed you traveled by yourself"

"Yes" Shikadai said before anyone else could answer. They were all thankful because not only did they have one strategist but two. So figuring this thing out wouldn't be hard.

"Neji, thank you for bringing them. You may go"

"Yes Lady Tsunade"

Neji left and Tsunade looked at the kids and analyzed them.

"Umm guys, that's the fifth Hokage. And she said Neji. I'm pretty sure he died back in the war" Shikari whispered.

"I think we went back in time" Shikadai told the group.

"If you guys are done 'whispering', I would like to speak now" They all nodded at her.

"I assume, you guys are from the future"

"Time travel isn't possible"

"It's not really time travel, more like an alternate universe. I heard about this once but I don't know how to get you back"

"We have this" Shikadai handed her the letter.

"So obviously you have a quest, finish it and you get to go home. It says keep your identities a secret. So you two ponytails out, paint for your whiskers, a headband for your bowl cut and a hoodie for your blond hair."

"What about me"

"I'm pretty sure Choji won't find out"

"How do you know are parents"

"It's super simple. Anyway you guys need a place to stay so I will call your parents. Don't call them mom or dad and also you all will be assigned names until further notice"

"Yes Lady Tsunade"

oooooooooo

"These are guest. I don't know how long they will be staying, but they will be staying with you. Shikamaru you will take Kage and Kaze, Choji you will take Tsuyoi, Sai you will take Egaku, Naruto Shiroime, Sakura Aka, and Lee you will take Te. Because they are children, you must take care of them. Take them around the village show them where they would be living, then return them here.You all are dismissed"

oooooooooo
