It was a nice sunny day in Konaha the Land of Fire. A homely looking house with reddish brown planks for a roof and cream coloured walls stood proud and tall against all the other boring coloured homes. The garden held thousands of flowers that many would dream of getting and the feel of it was just wonderful. That is until the shouting started.
"Naruto, where are you going? You're supposed to be getting your Hokage hat from Kakashi-sensei in 10 minutes" questioned Hinata whilst I was putting on my boots.
You see she is correct, I should be getting ready for getting my Hokage hat as that has been my dream since I was little but I have another important matter at hand. You see I found this scroll on a mission a few years back, when Jiriya-sensei was still alive, and I have never opened it. Well never opened it till last night. Kurama spoke to me telling me that there was some suspicious energy coming from the scroll and has been building up for a while. When I asked (cough yelled cough) at him why he hadn't told me sooner he just replied saying the time was never right. Whatever that meant. Finally, I opened the scroll and what was written down amazed me. There was a bunch of fuinjutsu, that even I one of the best fuinjutsu experts couldn't fully understand it. That's not to say I didn't understand all of it. I had been able to piece together bits and pieces of the fuinjutsu and from that I knew what the scroll was for.
Straight away I sent a note to Sasuke and Gaara explaining to them to meet me at 1100 the next day by the Valley of the End so I could show them my findings and hopefully get them to take my side in this difficult decision. I hadn't got a reply yet so I am hoping that they will meet me there so I can tell them or in the unfortunate case the message had been interrupted on its way there.
I finished getting my boots on and grabbed my coat along with my weapon pouch (which also held a few scrolls and brushes). As I was about the reach my headband Hinata stepped in my way and had a furious look on her face. Spitting furiously Hinata asked me again where I was going. My reply was the same. Ignore her. Don't take this the wrong way I do want to tell her but I can't. I can't let her know the burden I am about the but on my shoulders or the difficult task I'm about the face. I love Hinata lots and I am happy to have a loving wife and two kids for me to come home to every day. But this, this I just tell her.
Turning away I grabbed my headband and started to leave the house.
"Naruto get back here! Where are you going? You can't just leave me here on my own and not tell me why you're leaving me on my own. Naruto speak to me!" Hinata shouted as she ran after me. Years of not being on active duty had taken her toll on her body as she is considerably a lot slower. It was lucky that all the ninjas and civilians weren't here and at the centre of the village as this would have attracted a lot of attention. Without glancing back and ran as fast as I could to the villages' gate and I just kept o running without looking back. I know Hinata will go and tell Sakura and Kakashi-sensei about this and I know they will get the Konaha 12, well 10 as me and Sasuke aren't there. Luckily I knew the route to the Valley of the End like the back of my palm as without that knowledge I would have surly gotten lost and them I would have had to navigate back and take even more time.
The trees where rushing past me and branches where hitting me in the face as I couldn't duck in time of them. I jumped from branch to branch in hopes of getting there faster and further away from Konaha in time. The trees started spacing out more and I could tell that I was only a minute away from the clearing. Jumping on the last branch leapt in to the clearing where I could see two figures waiting for me.
One had the symbol of love above his turquoise left eye and bright red hair that stuck up in many directions. He was wearing a red top with armour and black bottoms. On his back he had a jar filled with sand that he will use on missions and to keep him and other safe.
Next to him stood a man with pure black hair shaped like a ducks butt, with black emotionless eyes and a black trench coat hiding his weapons from view. On his left-hand side, his katana was on full view to scare away bandits and enemy shinobi.
There stood Gaara and Sasuke waiting patiently for him to come. Well at least they got the message thought Naruto. Gaining the attention of them was easy as, as soon as he came thought the clearing they look at him. Knowing they would like to get straight to business and for him to hurry the hell up. He took of his scroll he brought on his back and opened it.
"Would you like the full version or quick version. Though I would say the quick as I am in a rush" Naruto spoke.
"Quick version Naruto"
"Hm"
"Taking Sasukes' grunt as a quick version. I will start off with what I am holding. A few years back me and Pervy sage went to Ame and found a scroll in one of the brothels that Pervy Sage went into. I only looked in it last night as the fox told me weird energy was in it. Inside the scroll there is a fuinjutsu for time travelling, and before you say that's not impossible. Kurama and I have gone through it and we think it is legit. So, coming here I beg of you to come back with me to fix this all and hopefully make the future better." Explained Naruto
Two gob smack faces look back at him with new respect in there, normally emotionless, eyes. Rubbing the back of his head out of nervous habit Naruto asked how it was.
"Naruto are you sure this is fully correct and full proof?" Gaara asked finally.
Nodding his head excitedly, Naruto asked if they would come with his. The answer was not what he was expecting. After a few minutes of total silence where you could her each blade of grass brushing against each other, Gaara and Sasuke both spoke together.
"Naruto/Dobe of course we're coming"
Knowing they would be there helped his and he knew he made the right choice in choosing them both.
Pumping as much chakra as he needed into the scroll and grabbing hold of both men tightly. They left the area without a trace.
A few seconds later Sakura and Kakashi broke through the clearing after feeling the massive amount of chakra there. Unfortunately for them they were a second two late as Naruto, Sasuke and Gaara weren't even in this time anymore!
