Disclaimer: None of this belongs to me; well maybe the phrasing of the story does, but nothing else. Naruto obviously doesn't but even the storyline isn't mine. It's my sister's and she told me to write it up or she would punch me into oblivion... *shudders* This is my first attempt in writing a story so please could I have lots of constructive criticisms in reviews please, maybe even praises? I'm getting ahead of myself...hehe

Anyway, back to the story, it is a time travel fic starring Naruto, Hinata and Sakura, with the usual supporting cast of the ninjas of Konoha. Enjoy!

Konohagakure has fallen. Nothing is left of the once proud and mighty Leaf Village but the ruins of its former glory. Burnt concrete walls crumbled to the floor every now and again and the dismal rain that had suddenly poured down put out the remaining fires.

Amidst the pitter-patter of the raindrops three young adults stood staring at a memorial plaque their faces were wet and their eyes were red from crying. One had a bright orange sort of hair, another had neon pink hair and the final person had dark blue hair. All held masks with animal faces on.

"Hinata, Sakura, how did we let this happen? Why weren't we here to help them? It's all our fault damn it!" the bond haired boy ranted amid sobs with a desperate deep husky voice but still had a child's element to it.

"You can't blame it all on us; we were on an S-rank mission." Hinata consoled with her timid voice of reason.

"Humph, I doubt we would have made a difference even if we were here, everyone was killed, none of them stood a chance fighting generations of revived Uchihas all using their very best fire jutsus, and the fact that the Akatsuki had also persuaded all the other villages except for Suna to help. It was in their best interest to attack the Leaf, sigh, I don't know, I guess we would have died as well, even our Hokage Tsunade couldn't survive." Sakura the pink haired girl bemoaned.

Suddenly Naruto let out a sharp gasp and shunshinned away. Hinata and Sakura gave each other a confused look and followed.

Naruto had shunshinned to the Hokage Tower... or what was left of it. What the three ANBU now saw was a collapsed mound of concrete. When Hinata and Sakura arrived, Naruto was already bounding towards the rubble and was scratching away at the concrete with small mini bursts of his bullet rasengan. Sakura and Hinata knowing the determined look of Naruto meant that this was serious and was no joke, decided to help him with his endeavour; Sakura with her superhuman strength and Hinata using her Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms to produce a chakra beam to cut the rubble into large chunks of rock and then using Gentle Fist to smash it to pieces.

Soon, Hinata and Sakura realises their recklessness of diving in to break the stones and both looked at each other thinking the same thing: What if we had destroyed what Naruto was looking for all along?

They then immediately turned to ask Naruto what it was that he was looking for but just as they were about to ask, Naruto let out a triumphant yell and produced a tattered looking scroll.

Both Sakura and Hinata were genuinely confused.

Naruto, sensing their confusion, decided to enlighten them: "Just before we set off for our mission, Grandma Tsunade had called me in for a private meeting and in that meeting, she said that if any harm should come to the Leaf Village, I would need to use this scroll, it contains a jutsu that might just save this all from happening."

Sakura and Hinata waited for more... and waited... until Sakura had enough of waiting and yelled at Naruto: "WILL YOU JUST GET ON WITH IT AND TELL US! THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME, PLEASE JUST TELL US OR WOULD YOU RATHER BE SENT FLYING COURTESY OF MOI?"

With that sudden outburst from Sakura, the cowering Naruto blurted out: "Okay, okay, calm down, ok. I'll tell you." And with a small confident smile he said: "It's a time travel jutsu."

A/N : Sorry my first chapter is quite short, I just felt that it was the right place to end it and I will be updating quite soon, maybe even tomorrow! Anyway, I'm looking forward to any reviews I get and please please please take the trouble of having to review. It is what writers are motivated by. The public opinion. It is also a good way for you guys to give some ideas to the authors as many of them (me) can't think of a lot to write about. Anyway, sorry for procrastinating_!
