Chapter 2 The Truth to a point.
"Ya, I am the daughter of the 7th Hokage Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and the head doctor of the Leaf Sakura Namikaze." Said Kushina "Now you understand why I couldn't just come out and tell my parents who I am."
"Ya, for all you know knowing that they will get together in the future may drive them apart." said Tsunade as she turned toward the window just in time to see Naruto and Sakura walking out the tower, Sai had disappeared to someplace unknown. Naruto and Sakura where walking down the street talking and then Naruto must of said something funny because Sakura giggled. Then if she hadn't been paying attention and if she hadn't be a highly trained ninja she would of missed the settle movement Sakura did to bring herself closer to Naruto.
"Yes, there could be something forming there, something small and still weak but growing." said Tsunade
"Yes, and if they find out about me it may drive them apart and my brothers and I will never be." said Kushina
"Brothers?" asked Shizune as Kushina nodded. She reached up untying her headband.
"I had Mrs. Hyuga parents weapon shop made this for me." said Kushina as she channeled some chakra into the headband. Suddenly a slot opened up in the metal, and Kushina pulled out a small photo.
"The Hyuga clan doesn't own a weapon shop." said Shizune
"What is her first name. I always call her Mrs. Hyuga." said Kushina as she thought about the woman's first name "Tenten."
"Tenten, her parents do own a weapon shop." said Shizune "Then she must of married a Hyuga probably Neji."
"Can we get back on track?" asked Tsunade
"Here." said Kushina as she handed the photo over to Tsunade. Tsunade eyes widened at the family photo. There stood older but clearly Naruto and Sakura. In between them stood Kushina her blond hair matching her father's to a T. On either side of her standing in front of Sakura was a red hair boy with green eyes he was maybe 12 or 11 and looked like his father. In front of Naruto was another boy only eight or nine and was the spiting image of his father apart from the whisker marks. "My brothers Minuto and Rhyu."
"Rhyu isn't that Sakura's dad's name?" asked Tsunade
"Yes, he died the same night that my Dad's parents. They named us after our grandparents." said Kushina "And before you ask the red hair comes from my grandpa Haruno and my grandma Uzumaki."
"I see, now the question is what to do now." said Tsunade
"I kind of need to get home…to my time." said Kushina
"Of course but how?" asked Tsunade
"That guy will come after me again, he wants the necklace." said Kushina
"Why couldn't he just take Naruto's?" asked Shizune
"Well you always have guards around my Dad because of the Akatsuki and by the time he doesn't need them he is too strong for this guy to deal with." said Kushina "He thinks I am the easiest target to hit and in a way he is right. I am good but I am not as good as my parents."
"Judging from the reports you are underestimating yourself." said Tsunade "However the question is where are you going to stay in the mean time."
"I wish I could help but I lost my pack and most of my things when I was fighting him in my time, I only have the cloths on my back and the few ninja tools in my pouch." Said Kushina
"So our first problem is where you are staying.' said Tsunade
"So Sakura-Chan do you believe her when she says she is from the future?" asked Naruto as the two of them walked down the road.
"I don't know…" said Sakura "However she does seam very familiar but I can't place why."
"Ya, I wonder if she knows us in the future if it's true." said Naruto
"I don't want to know." said Sakura "I don't want to be tied down by some idea of destiny."
"Well what if it's good?" asked Naruto
"What if it's bad?" asked Sakura as the two of them entered the BBQ stand. To their surprised Ino, Shikamaru and Choji where all there eating.
"Well what a surprise forehead." said Ino as she looked at her best friend.
"What is up?" asked Choji
"Well we had an interesting happen on our mission today." said Naruto
"What sort of interesting?" asked Choji
Meanwhile in the Hokage's office another pink haired woman walked into the office. "You summoned me Lady Tsunade." said Rin Haruno, mother to Sakura Haruno.
"Rin how long have we known each other?" asked Tsunade
"Well considering you where my babysitter when I was a baby." said Rin with a smile.
"Ya, that was one of my first missions a gennin." said Tsunade
"And you still took on that mission when you where a jonnin." Said Rin
"Ya" said Tsunade as she remembered those fun times looking after the Rin "and now your daughter is my student."
"Ya, and I thank you for taking her on." said Rin
"Now I have to ask you about your feelings toward Naruto?" asked Tsunade as Rin blinked.
"You know full well how I feel about him." Said Rin "he is a nice boy, who can't be blamed for what is inside him."
"Even though the Kyuubi killed your husband?" asked Tsunade as Rin lowered her head remembering the last time she had seen her husband.
Flashback
"Make sure you make it back." said Rin as her husband tied on his headband. The roar of the Kyuubi could be heard.
"I will now you need to get to the bunker." said Rhyu Haruno
"Fine, I'll go." said Rin
"Thank you." said Rhyu as he kissed her before kissing his young infant daughter, Sakura. "Don't worry I have a new daughter to watch grow."
End Flashback
"I can't hate Naruto for the sins of that demon fox." said Rin "And he has saved my daughter's life more times then I can count. I would rather her end up with him then that traitor Uchiha she has her crush on. The Uchiha was too cold never caring about anyone other then himself not Naruto."
"Glad to hear this." said Tsunade "Now I know you are not a ninja but I have something I need you to do."
"What is it?" asked Rin
"Now Understand you can't tell you daughter about this not ever." said Tsunade
"What is it?" asked Rin
"Today, your daughter's team came across a person." Said Tsunade "One from the future."
"The future ya, right." laughed Rin "Have you been drinking way more sake then normal?"
"No, blood tests prove her story and I personally believe her." said Tsunade as Rin looked at her, she could tell it in her eyes she was telling the truth.
"The future?" asked Rin
"Yes." said Tsunade "Now if it wasn't for the fact that the hotels are full because of people displaced by the attack on our village, I wouldn't be asking you to take her in."
"Who is she?" asked Rin
"This never leaves this room." said Tsunade
"Of course." said Rin
"She is your granddaughter." said Tsunade as Rin blinked.
"So I am guessing that because you asked me about Naruto that he is her father." said Rin
"You always were smart Grandma." said a voice as Rin turned toward the back wall. For a brief moment she actually thought it was her daughter Sakura, however the slightly longer hair and the fact that it was blonde cut that off. Then there was the fact of her blue eyes.
Rin stood up and moved toward the girl. "Hello?" asked Rin
"Hello." Said the girl back
"So you're my granddaughter?" asked Rin as Kushina nodded her head. "This is weird."
"Imagine what it is like from my point of view." said Kushina "My parents are my age, Sai thinks I have a crush on one of my own parents."
"That would be strange." said Rin with a small laugh. "So what's your name?"
"Kushina Namikaze." Said Kushina
"Namikaze but Naruto's last name is Uzumaki?" asked Rin
"That was his mom Kushina Uzumaki, my other Grandmother's last name." explained Kushina "Grandpa Namikaze had a lot of enemies so he kept his romantic with her secret."
"So Namikaze….that names sounds so familiar?" said Rin
"Minuto Namikaze also known as the 4th Hokage?" asked Kushina as Rin's eyes widened.
"Naruto is related to the 4th?" asked Rin
"Father and son." said Kushina as Rin's eyes widened as she put an image of Naruto over an image of the 4th.
"How could no one see that?" thought Rin
"Now I would you rather not call me by Namikaze name in front of people it raise questions with a bunch of people." said Kushina
"Understandable but I have to ask how long until your born?" asked Rin
"Well….I am born when my parents are 21 as for the date; I'll kept that as a surprised." said Kushina
"21, were they married?" asked Rin
"Yes, over a year." said Kushina "Actually they should start dating soon. I don't know when…kids don't ask their parents about their love life."
"Ya, that makes sense." said Rin
"Now I have a question for you." said Kushina as Rin looked at her "Do you have that recipe for teriyaki chicken on seasoned rise?"
"Ya that was one of the recipes I got in my new cookbook why?" asked Rin
"It's my favorite and no one ever gets it right beside you." said Kushina with a laugh
"You even sound like a granddaughter." said Rin with a smile.
Meanwhile at the BBQ food stand part of the rookie 12 eat.
"Future girl?" asked Shikamaru "Highly unlikely but not impossible, if a justu is a field effect justu then she could have been caught up in it and brought back in time."
"It's unlikely but amazing we could find out so much by just talking to her." Said Ino "I would find out when I get married."
"We could find out the fate of Sasuke." Said Naruto as he and Sakura looked at the table. "I have to ask here that it may help us find him sooner."
"I will not tell you." said a new voice as they turned to see Kushina standing there.
"Kushina?" asked Sakura as the others looked at the new comer.
"Why can't you tell us?" asked Naruto
"Because I don't know where he is on any given day." said Kushina "History was never my best subject in school, I know the board ideas of when things happen I don't know that many details."
"I see." said Naruto
"And even if I did I wouldn't tell you." said Kushina "Too much of a risk to my timeline."
"What are you worried about?" asked Ino
"Well Ino, I am worried about everything because if something goes wrong me and my family my ever be and something terrible may happen." said Kushina
"Ino why didn't you think of that?" asked Shikamaru
"Oh I did but I wanted to see if she knew my name." said Ino with a grin as Kushina looked at her. "See she called me Ino, that means she knows my first name and therefore she knows me."
"Crap, she is just as smart in the past as in the future." thought Kushina
"So tell me Kushina do you know me?" asked Ino as suddenly Kushina smiled.
"Well you own the local flower shop so ya." said Kushina as Ino lowered her head.
"Should of known, my folks even said they where going to give the store to me when I got older." said Ino
"It's still the best place to get flowers in the village." said Kushina with a smile, it wasn't a total lie, Ino did run the flower shop but she knew her as her mother's best friend and as her godmother.
"So do you know any other of us in the future?" asked Choji
"I will not answer that question." Said Kushina
"Can I ask why you are here?" asked Sakura
"Well, I thought I would tell you that because of the lack of hotel rooms in the village I am forced to stay with one of you." said Kushina
"So who are you staying with?" asked Sakura
"Well because you are the only girl on your team so I am staying with you and your mother until they can find away to send me home." explained Kushina
"I see, I understand why Lady Tsunade did that because Naruto's place is a mess and Sai doesn't know the first thing about dealing with people let alone a young woman." said Sakura
"Hay, my place isn't that bad." said Naruto
"How many used Ramón pouches are lying on your floor right now?" asked Sakura
"One…two…three….four." said Naruto as he started counting in his head.
"Too many to count?" asked Kushina with a laugh, she knew full fell that her father keeps instant Ramón pouches in his Hokage's desk. He was almost as bad when it came to hiding Ramón pouches as Tsunade was with her shake.
"Ok maybe my place is a little bit of a mess." said Naruto
"So Kushina let me show you to my place." said Sakura as she stood up.
"Ok." said Kushina "I kind of already know where Grandma lives." "However the Hokage gave me money to get some cloths because most of my stuff was lost in my own time."
"Wait the Hokage gave you money for shopping?" asked Ino with a smile as both her and Sakura smiled. Kushina knew all too well what was going to happen next but there was no stopping it.
"Let's go shopping!" yelled Ino and Sakura as they both jumped up and dragged Kushina away.
"Girls and shopping how troublesome." said Shikamaru as the check came. "They even left us with the check."
Elsewhere in the hidden Leaf an old man walked into the poorly light room. "You have found something?" asked the old war hawk of the hidden Leaf Danzo. Half his face was covered and he walked with a cane.
"Yes, Lord Danzo." said Sai as he knelt down in front of Danzo
"Speak." ordered Danzo
"We came across a girl, who claims to be from the future." said Sai as Danzo looked at him.
"Do you believe her?" asked Danzo
"I am not sure, but it is worth checking out." said Sai
"I will be the one who decides what is or isn't worth my time." said Danzo
"I am sorry sir, but she could contain a wealthy of information about the next 20 years of history." explained Sai
"True, now you are dismissed." ordered Danzo as Sai disappeared.
After a long hard day at school and before an even longer day of studying and homework I post another chapter, I hope you liked it. Now I would like to answer a few questions that people may be asking about this story. No this isn't related to my Return to the Past story. See when I was braining storming ideas for stories this was one of my first ideas for a time travel story, however I came up with Return to the Past. Now I return to the idea and I give it to you. Thanks and please read and review Wilkins75.
