"Liar!" Grandma is standing above me and my cheek is stinging.
Ow. She took that worse than I thought.
"Sakura would never!" She says outraged.
"Why would I lie? What would I get out of this situation by lying?" I say using logic.
The silence is deafening.
She finally takes a deep breath.
"How?"
"Long story. You'll find out. Try to forget about it for the moment. It will just cloud your judgment. Please believe me, the future turns out fine."
She frowns and sits back down.
After a moment she starts asking questions again.
"So who has kids first, Naruto or Sakura?"
Good, she's beginning to trust me.
"Mother does, Uncle follows soon after, not wanting to be beat by Father, and then Naruto-sama, he didn't want to be outdone by Uncle. That's what Mom said anyways."
I crack a half smile thinking about all the adventures I heard about them.
Who knows maybe I'll be able to see it in person.
"Naruto-sama?"
"He's Hokage."
This doesn't take her by surprise.
"And Sasuke comes back?"
"In a manner of speaking, yeah."
"Are you an only child?"
"No, I have two little sisters, Tsukiko-chan and Midori-hime. You'll like Midori, she looks just like Mom."
"So you're my granddaughter."
She looks at me appraisingly.
"Where did you get your hair?"
*Sigh*
That's always the question. I couldn't just get black like Tsukiko, or even dark pink like Midori. No, I had to have this weird purple that is so close to black, but still noticeably purple.
"This is what happens when pink and black mix."
Or at least to me.
She smiles.
"Hm. Now what should I do with you?"
"I like the idea of sending me back. But you know whatever."
"Gaki, I would do that but the only two ninja that know Chidori are gone right now. Kakashi's on a mission and the other is a missing-nin."
Oh! I get to see a young Gramps!
"So I'm stuck here?"
"For a couple more days, yes, but until then you are going to be under my care. You should understand that no one can know who you are correct?"
"No, really?"
I think I hear her mumble gaki again.
I'm cut free.
"Follow me."
We leave the room and Mom comes running down from the end of the hall.
"Shishou what are you-"
Grandma cuts her off.
"She isn't a threat Sakura. She is an important dignitary from a village on the border."
I bow to her.
"Hello."
Yeah, this is kind of creepy.
She bows back.
"Welcome to Konoha…"
"Ume, just call me Ume."
"Welcome to Konoha then Ume-san."
I think I'm getting a headache.
We depart the hospital and I'm taken aback by how different the village looks compared to the one of my time.
That's right, they haven't been attacked yet.
I give a covert glance at the current Hokage.
Oh, if only I could warn you.
I know it's just a bunch of talk right now, but next chapter there will be more stuff. Review, yada, yada, yada.
