So a no name anonymous reviewer had it first, Ume means plum blossom or plum, which will be explained later. TeenageCrisis also figured it out. Thanks to all who reviewed and alerted. Now onto the next installment of Crease in the Fabric of Time, after the disclaimer.

Disclaimer (bet you didn't see that coming)- Still not mine.

"Uchiha huh? Prove it." Grandma orders me.

I close my nearly black, if you look closely they are a black green, colored eyes for a second. I activate the Sharingan and open them. She takes a step back.

"H-how can this be? Who are you?"

My eyes return to normal.

"I already said, I am Uchiha Ume."

Yuudai, Hajime, what did you two do to me? Young Mother, Grandma not knowing who I am and being afraid of the Sharingan…this isn't a genjutsu…the only other explanation, I'm somehow in the past. This is bad.

"How are you a Uchiha? How did you survive the massacre?" She asks dazed.

Kami, anything but this. What should I say? It's not like I can say "Hi Grandma Tsunade, I'm from the future." Or can I? Ok, I have to approach this carefully, or else I might mess everything up. And I would like to continue to exist.

"This is going to sound crazy but I'm not from this time."

Ok, for being a ninja, Hokage on top of that, her face is too easy to read.

I continue.

"My teammates,"

Who are going to suffer a slow and painful demise, well maybe not Yuudai, but he will suffer.

"were fighting. I tried to stop then, but was hit by their justus. Next thing I know, I'm here and this is, without a doubt, not my time."

She sits down in a chair next to me and thinks for a minute.

"This isn't unheard of." She starts. "Things have been known to disappear when concentrated energies meet, but a person being sent to a different time?" She's talking to herself.

"Am I stuck here?"

It's really getting hard to seem uncaring and impassive, because I'm scared. For the first time ever I'm terrified of what's going to happen, this isn't a mission where the smartest and strongest win and the weak die. This is something reality bending, where I could screw-up the entire future.

I see my sisters faces.

No, I won't mess anything up, I can't.

"I don't know." She responds truthfully, and that scares me ever more because I have always looked up to her to know something that Mother didn't.

"You're from the future aren't you?"

I nod, not trusting my voice.

'When in doubt don't speak' Father always advised.

"I thought so, you didn't even seem phased by the mention of the massacre."

Yeah, the massacre that everyone is so ill-informed on in this time.

"Or maybe I'm just that good of a ninja."

"How old are you child? What's your rank?" Her voice becomes a bit hard after my smart aleck reply.

"I'm fourteen and a Chuunin, awaiting the upcoming Jonin exams."

I should be a Jonin, but Mother wanted to keep me in my age-range.

"Do you know who I am?"

I smirk.

That's like asking what color the sky is.

"Senju Tsunade also known as Konoha's Slug Princess, the Legendary Sucker, One of the Sannin, the Fifth Hokage, and Grandma Tsunade to some. You were born August 2nd. You use a jutsu to hide your real age, but if I'm correct in this time period you are in your early fifties. Blood type is B. You're the last living member of the Great Senju Clan. Granddaughter to Senju Hashirma, the First Hokage. Graduated the academy at age six, was put on a team with Jiraiya and Orochimaru, headed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage. You have a fear of blood, but you are the greatest medic-nin of this time. You have only ever taken two apprentices, Shizune and Haruno Sakura. You like drinking and gambling and you have a pet pig by the name of Ton-Ton."

That is the most I've ever talked in one go. Baka Yuudai's starting to rub off on me.

"It sounds like you know me personally."

And this is why talking gets you in trouble.

"I just have a great respect for such a noble kunoichi as you, Tsunade-sama."

"Hm. I have a lot of questions for you child."

"And those questions have answers, but I don't know if I will answer then. It could cause chaos in my time."

"How about this, anything you tell me will remain between us, because I sure as hell don't want to interfere with was is to be. Let's start it simple, what jutsu brought you here? Maybe there is a chance you can be sent back."

I believe her because I know Grandma, and she doesn't lie…much.

"Rasengan and Chidori."

She looks intently at me.

"Now why were you getting in between that?" She asks suspicious.

Great. Now she thinks I'm some kind of enemy.

"Because my foolish teammates were fighting over a girl."

What's so great about Shikako anyways? She is, under no circumstances, any reason to try and kill each other.

"Who are your teammates?"

And here comes the names. You know what, my even being here in the first place has already messed with the future, what's a little more going to do?

"Uzumaki Yuudai and Uchiha Hajime."

"Brother and sister on the same team that is very unique."

"Oh hell no. He's my cousin."

"What are you, third, fourth, fifth generation Uchiha?"

I laugh a little darkly.

"You're looking at the next generation Grandma."

"How is that possible there is only one Uchiha left."

What is Father just chop liver?

"You seem to be forgetting about Uchiha Itachi."

Her eyes narrow.

"Who are your parents girl?"

I smirk again.

"Uchiha Itachi and where I come from she's known as Uchiha Sakura, but at the moment her name is Haruno Sakura."
