I do not own Naruto

This is another story i began writing, but have decided to abandon for now. as with the last one it's free for adaption. it's a NaruSaku but i'd prefer the pairing not be a huge focus of the story. about the creature, i'll tell you about it, if you adopt the fic. but i won't tell you until I have proof that you;re writing the fic.

Naruto put the finishing touches on the seal that would send his wife Sakura Haruno back to the past. Things had been peaceful quite a few years after the death of Madara, but the disappearance of the statue containing eight of the nine tailed beasts and Sasuke Uchiha had kept people on edge. Everyone's worst fears had come true when he had sent the beasts to attack along with a large army of resurrected warriors. he had been clever with his attack and after a few months, had come out on top. His attack had been motivated by insanity and nobody in his way had been spared. Naruto had battled bravely, but had been crippled near the end of the war, but had been saved by Sakura. They had decided that the best course of action was to send Sakura back in time with a seal Naruto had developed to keep things from getting out of hand. Naruto only had enough Chakra to send one of them and Naruto had decided that Sakura would go, since an able bodied ninja would be better than a cripple. Sakura hadn't argued, knowing they didn't have much time before Sasuke found them.

Naruto gave his wife a kiss, and activated the seal. They had said their goodbyes and made sure they had no regrets before they separated. Hopefully if she left soon, Naruto could escape and send himself back later. If not, Sakura would keep hope that she would see him again one day.

Sakura felt herself get pulled into the seal as the world around her faded and a few seconds later she lost all feeling in her body and everything went dark.

Sakura awoke noticing that she was looking at a ceiling. She then noticed that she had no control over the body she was in. From all the evidence it seemed she was in her younger counterparts body, but had no control of it. She wondered if she was dreaming or something or if she was really in her younger self's body. She was left to ponder all the way up until Sakura had walked into her academy homeroom and saw Sasuke, the sight of him filling her with rage, feeling the intense desire to strangle the life out of the boy. She noticed this seemed to affect her younger counterpart.

With young Sakura

Sakura walked into her homeroom and looked for her crush and upon seeing him felt both rage and joy at seeing him. This, naturally, threw her off balance. "Why the hell am I mad at Sasuke-kun?" She was shaken by the emotion she usually associated with Naruto or Ino directed at her crush.

Her gaze moved to Naruto, who was talking with another boy she forgot the name of, and she felt her usual annoyance at seeing him, but this was accompanied by a sense of Joy at seeing him as well. "What the hell is wrong with me?" Sakura asked herself grabbing her hair with both hands.

Needless to say, the conflicting emotions were getting to her. As she saw the boy move away from Naruto, she decided that she wouldn't try to sit next to Sasuke today. With her emotions the way they were, she was afraid she'd punch him in the face and it scared her at how satisfying it would be to do so.

If seeing Sasuke or Naruto was going to confuse her this much, she really hoped that she wasn't on either of their teams.

With Future Sakura

As Sakura heard the thoughts of her younger self and saw her make a different decision, she saw that she had some influence.

"But how the hell will this help me?" she thought. "Making her confused will probably just get her killed earlier, I need more influence and I need it as soon as possible."

She thought on this as her younger self sat down in a seat in the back. "Maybe I can access little Sakura's Mindscape and find a better way to communicate with her, It should be easy enough, seeing as she was already in her mind."

She put her focus into figuring out how to get into the mindscape and kept her focus away from the outside world, the less her emotions affect the poor girl, the better.

Somewhere Else

A great creature awoke and looked around feeling confused

"Where the hell am I?"
