Hello everyone, How is everything going in your life?

I have been really busy and when I say busy I mean really fucking busy. Too much shit is going on at once but I am trying to get more writing done before the end of the month because then I know I won't be able to write anymore because of school. I want to get something done before summer ends.

dnguyen686: Here it is.

mrsancog: Here you go.

Empress Tatiana: Nope on that one. I brought him for a reason but that was definitely a bonus.

Thoththo: That was also one of the reasons but not the for sure reason.

inuyasha16451: Thank you as always.


The next day was filled with chaos seeing as everyone was setting up the coronation for Hashirama. Naruko was walking around the village when she ran into Izuna and Sasuke. Sasuke looked like he was dying and hadn't slept a wink. She kind of felt bad for him.

"Hey Naruko, how was your night?" Izuna asked as Sasuke brooded over the bastard Uchiha next to him.

He branded Izuna a bastard overnight. The irony in that statement is hilarious.

"I'm fine, I slept okay," Naruko answered and couldn't help but stare at Sasuke who was trying to ignore her at the moment. "Sasuke did you sleep?" Naruko asked.

"Not really, I think it was because I am in a different place though," Sasuke answered.

Naruko walked up to him as Izuna watched not saying anything. But his anger was stirring.

"Did it feel too weird to be around that many chakras?" Naruko asked.

Sasuke realized what Naruko was asking him and was quite shocked that she even cared. The massacre still messed with his life in a big way so he didn't think she even cared.

"Yeah... it was... different. I never really thought I would feel that again." Sasuke answered slowly trying to explain himself.

"What are you two talking about?" Izuna asked his head tilted to the side.

"Your Sharingan is out Izuna," Naruko said backing up a bit scared.

"Sorry about that," Izuna said his eyes going back to black.

Sasuke wasn't really shocked that Izuna's anger was showing through his eyes he just didn't think that Izuna would show Naruko.

"Naruko, we should get ready for the coronation," Tobirama said walking to the small group.

Tobirama was shocked to see Naruko standing close to Sasuke after saying what she said last night.

'I thought she said she didn't care about that Uchiha.' Tobirama thought to himself as he eyed the two and seen how tense his best friend was.

"Okay, see you later Izuna and you too Sasuke," Naruko said running past Izuna patting him gently on the shoulders and pointed to his eyes again.

Izuna looked back at Sasuke for him to tell him that his eyes were on again.

Naruko and Tobirama got dressed and ready pretty quickly and Tobirama couldn't help but laugh when he saw Naruko struggle with the Obi on her yukata.

"You never put one on?" Tobirama asked.

"No, back in my time the holiday that is for when you wear yukatas is on my birthday but also the day of the attack on the village that makes me outcasted. I can't go anywhere on that day without being attacked so I learned to ask for missions around that time every year or just ask to leave the village for a vacation." Naruko said with a smile that was full of sadness that made Tobirama want to hurt the people who hurt this wonderful woman.

"I... wish you could just stay here. Is there really no way to have you stay here and him go back?" Tobirama asked.

"I was thinking the same thing but he probably wouldn't want to leave either," Naruko said thinking back to how rough Sasuke's own life was of course not compared to hers but his life was pretty tragic too.

"Why do you say that?" Tobirama asked genuinely curious.

"I can't tell you that. It is an important marker in history that I can't change." Naruko said.

"It couldn't be worse than how you get treated," Tobirama stated.

"I think everyone's pain is terrible but you can't weigh how bad someone's bad is to another it's wrong," Naruko said.

"But don't they do that to you back in your time?" Tobirama asked kind of shocked.

"Yeah, but in a sense, I get why they do it," Naruko said sadly.

"I don't, I don't get it at all. Then they say you can't defend yourself how preposterous. Has Sasuke ever done anything to you?" Tobirama asked pulling her into a hug.

"No, he only ever degraded me with words. But that was his own way of pushing me away from him." Naruko said.

"I will beat his ass," Tobirama growled out.

"I think he wanted to be my friend until he found out that I liked him," Naruko said honestly.

"Do you still like him?" Tobirama asked anger seeping off his shoulders.

"No," Naruko said with a smile that was so soft Tobirama's anger was gone.

"You don't know how happy that made me hearing you say that," Tobirama said making Naruko blush.

The room went silent until Hashirama started clapping and breaking the two out of their trance with each other making them both blush and look away.

"Smooth little brother," Hashirama said walking in the room hugging Naruko. "Are you feeling better little Naru? I hope so because you're going to have to dance with Tobi tonight for the celebration. You don't want him getting snatched up by another fellow prospect." Hashirama teased. "You look quite nice in a yukata Naruko," Hashirama said getting a better look at her.

"You better not be flirting with her Hashirama Senju," Mito said as she walked into the room.

"I wasn't I don't want to deal with my baby brother's anger," Hashirama said playfully making Tobirama blush more.

"Stop teasing them Hashi," Mito said swatting him and walking up to Naruko.

"You take away the fun my dear," Hashirama said walking out of the room with Tobirama following behind him brushing Naruko's hand as he walked past her.

"He really likes you," Mito said with a smile as she started trying to fix Naruko's hair.

The room between the two women was quiet and the two men were starting to believe that the two left but it was impossible seeing as they felt the two's chakra in the other room.

"You have really beautiful hair," Mito commented.

"Thank you," Naruko said with a smile.

She felt comfortable around the woman and couldn't help it seeing as she knew she was an Uzumaki.

"I have something to ask you and I want my question to stay between the two of us okay?" Mito started getting a nod from Naruko to continue. "Are you an Uzumaki?" Mito asked clearly feeling how Naruko's chakra waves were for the past couple times Naruko got hurt.

Naruko didn't say anything just nodded her head in confirmation.

"I knew you were. You have so much chakra it's ridiculous for you not to be. Why did you lie about your name then?" Mito asked.

"I didn't, that's my father's name. I didn't want my identity revealed right away because I didn't know what would happen." Naruko explained truthfully getting a nod of understanding from Mito.

"I get it but you should have known an Uzumaki can spot another Uzumaki," Mito said.

"I figured you would eventually but I thought you had no proof that I was aside from my chakra so I knew you wouldn't say anything without finding out for sure because you didn't want your clan to be dishonored because of the previous mentions of how my village treated me," Naruko said.

"That's true," Mito said with a sigh. "I couldn't believe it when Hashirama told me your story. I was completely appalled hearing about it. Then when I figured out about your chakra and was roaming around it to heal you I knew I needed to confirm it first before I mentioned anything." Mito said.

"Do you think you can keep this between me and you? Not telling anyone." Naruko said.

"Of course," Mito said as she braided Naruko's hair.

They didn't speak after that but they could feel the chakra of all the guys in the living room.

"Done," Mito said smiling at her work.

"It's beautiful," Naruko said turning giving Mito a hug.

"You can come to me whenever you want to talk to me," Mito said giving her a hug back.

"Thank you," Naruko said.

They both went out of the room where all the guys were sitting. Izuna still looked annoyed as Sasuke looked tired and more exhausted than before.

"Sasuke are you okay?" Naruko asked walking up to him ignoring all the stares.

"Yeah I'm fine," Sasuke said moving away from her before she could reach him.

"Kit you should stop if you're making two men in the room particularly jealous over you fawning over the Uchiha," Kurama said suddenly.

"But something is wrong with him," Naruko said.

"Yeah, he's dealing with that Uchiha, Izuna. It's like dealing with his brother all over again." Kurama said.

"I didn't realize that I'm sorry," Naruko said looking at Sasuke in his eyes that only he understood what she was talking about.

"You don't need to apologize. You..." Sasuke said and stopped only to walk out the room.

"What is going on?" Tobirama asked.

"Everyone goes through pain differently," Naruko said softly and turned to look at Madara.

"What?" Madara asked.

"Nothing," Naruko said and walked out of the house leaving everyone with questions and annoyed expressions aside from Mito and Hashirama.

"You guys give her a break she cares about us all but there is something pretty unexplainable between the two that we don't know about. She knows something he goes through that we don't of course." Hashirama said.

"What could be worse than what she has been through?" Tobirama asked.

"A lot Tobi," Hashirama said like he knew everything.

"He is right there is a lot that can be worse," Izuna said thinking about the comments they made.

"Naruko, why do you care so much though we aren't even friends?" Sasuke asked.

"Sasuke just because we're not friends doesn't mean I don't care," Naruko said softly.

They were sitting on the porch together.

"Is there a reason you can read me so well?" Sasuke asked curiously.

"I'm sure you're not surprised I liked you before you became a complete asshole to me but before that, I wanted to be your friend. I never lied about that and because of that I watched you a lot when you first lost everyone." Naruko said.

"How? How are we going to be okay? Enough to be friends at the very least?" Sasuke asked softly.

"I don't know, but maybe being able to understand each other is one of the reasons we're here," Naruko said.

"Okay," Sasuke said nodding his head. "Thanks," Sasuke whispered getting up. "Oh, and you look nice in your yukata," Sasuke said before going back into the house he didn't miss the blush that appeared on her face and couldn't help the smirk that appeared on his face as he went inside.

"What is going on between you two?" Izuna asked in Sasuke's face.

"Izuna we need to leave so we're leaving Sasuke with Tobi and Naruko," Madara said.

"What?" Tobirama said shocked.

"Yeah, Izuna needs to be with us for a while so you need to watch Sasuke," Hashirama said.

"I think it may be best if the two stayed here with you anyway," Madara said.

"WHAT?" Izuna and Tobirama screamed at the same time.

"It will be easier for everyone if there together so we can figure out why they're here, to begin with. If Sasuke doesn't stay with you then Naruko can't stay with you either." Madara said.

"Fine, he can stay," Tobirama said.

"Don't pout Tobi," Hashirama said with a big smile on his face.

Sasuke was relieved. He doesn't know if it was Naruko's doing or just the goodwill of the older Uchiha of the room but he was relieved. He couldn't stay in the Uchiha district anymore no matter what. Izuna creeped him the hell out and he couldn't push that feeling away.

"Be ready in fifteen Tobi," Madara said leading Izuna and Hashirama out as Mito followed.

Izuna glared at Sasuke before he left and that alone told him he wasn't welcomed here at all.

"Naruko be ready in fifteen okay," Madara said being the last one down the stairs.

"Thank you, Madara," Naruko said with a smile.

"Don't make me regret it though," Madara said and left with the rest of them.

Madara and Naruko made an unspoken between the two of them they just didn't say anything to the rest of them. Naruko understood that Madara didn't really care for her but that was fine in her opinion as long he didn't outright hate her.

Madara cares more for the benefit of the village and his brother and what Madara saw in the house was that Izuna was too invested in Naruko. It would be best to keep him away from her but he didn't know how he was going to do that yet. He didn't want to just tell her because that would get awkward so at the moment he had to do his best on his own.

Sasuke was relieved by Naruko's kindness and he wanted to thank her but at the moment he really couldn't get close to her without upsetting the ice prince.

"We should get ready to go, everyone," Naruko said walking into the cabin.

"I'm ready to go," Sasuke said and Tobirama grunted him being ready.

Naruko shook her head at that and swat him once.

"Speak properly," Naruko said making Sasuke remember something he'd rather forget. "Come on Sasuke," Naruko said as they all walked out of the house.

The festivities were bright and open. Everyone thought it was beautiful and Naruko and Sasuke couldn't remember a time where their previous home looked this bright and happy. It shocked both of them in all honesty. They liked the differences though and were happy about how it worked out right now because now they could see what really changed everything.

Naruko let Kurama out and let him run around. Everyone laughed when they saw the big fox now and Sasuke didn't really know what to say about that. Naruko really seemed to be happy here and he was sad that he couldn't be part of the reason she was so happy.

"What was she like in her other life?" Tobirama asked a shocked Sasuke.

"She was vibrant and an attention grabber," Sasuke said.

"What is your story? Why do you two not get along?" Tobirama asked noticing the way Sasuke's eyes lingered on Naruko more than once.

"I thought we would get along because she was the only person in the village to not fawn over me but I was mistaken. She liked me just like the rest of the girls." Sasuke said not seeing any point in lying to a future Hokage.

"Why? I don't really understand why you didn't just try to get her." Tobirama questioned confused.

They stopped talking as Madara started speaking calling attention to everyone making Naruko, Kurama, and Izuna smiling at the two as she walked up with them.

"Hey little brat," Kurama said walking up to Sasuke. "I need to talk to you later," Kurama said quietly between the two.

"What about?" Sasuke asked.

"Don't worry about that right now just have fun this is a once in a lifetime chance. You also don't have a family so get adapted to your ancestors," Kurama said but the ending was heard by Izuna who seemed shocked but hid it well and Sasuke didn't notice that he heard it but Kurama did.

"Okay, I will try," Sasuke said looking back at the stage where Hashirama was smacking Madara's back with a happy smile on his face.

Izuna kind of felt bad now. He didn't know that the kid had it so rough but what about Naruko? Are they both orphans?

"LET THE DANCING COMMENCE!" Hashirama screamed happily.

Kurama changed into a human form similar to Naruko and pulled her to the dance floor making all the guys standing with her slightly annoyed. Why did she get taken by a fox? They didn't like it but they knew not to fight a fox about it.

"What's going on Kurama?" Naruko asked.

"It will happen soon I can feel it," Kurama said.

"The time is running out? Why? I don't want to go back." Naruko said.

"I think you and Sasuke will leave at the same time like last time," Kurama said.

"Did you hear me?" Naruko asked and Kurama nodded his head kissing her on the forehead then disappeared back in the seal.

"Do you want to dance with me?" Izuna asked Naruko as he noticed Kurama go back.

"Yeah sure," Naruko said taking his hand.

Tobirama was standing with Sasuke watching his best friend but also had an eye on his laughing brother with Madara and Mito.

"What's going on?" Izuna asked as he danced with Naruko.

"Kurama said we're going back soon. I don't want to go back," Naruko said sadly.

"You're not meant for this time," Izuna said as he twirled her around.

"I know, but..." Naruko said but stopped because she couldn't talk about the future too much.

"Why is Sasuke an orphan?" Izuna asked.

"What are you talking about?" Naruko asked shocked.

"I heard the fox say he doesn't have a family, why would he be an orphan? Are clan takes in any of their own even if they aren't cousin or son?" Izuna asked.

"It's different in our days," Naruko said glancing at Sasuke who was talking to Tobirama. "He doesn't have anyone because there isn't anyone for him to be with," Naruko said cryptically.

"Are you saying are clan gets wiped out?" Izuna asked stopping the dance.

"No, I'm not saying that," Naruko said looking him straight in the eye.

"Then what are you saying?" Izuna asked.

"I... it's not my story. If you really want to know to ask Sasuke." Naruko said.

"Does that mean we really were wiped out?" Izuna asked.

"I wouldn't say that because I don't think you could consider what happened to wipe out," Naruko said.

Izuna stopped dancing and walked straight to his brother wanting to talk to him then they both looked at Sasuke who walked to Naruko.

"Do you want to dance before Tobirama comes over here?" Sasuke asked holding his hand out.

"Sasuke," Naruko said softly as she took his hand.

"Yeah?" Sasuke asked as they started to move.

"Do you think what happened to your clan would be considered wiping out?" Naruko asked making him pull back and look her in the eyes.

"Why do you ask that?" Sasuke asked as he continued to move not looking at her.

"Izuna heard what Kurama said to you earlier about you not having a family. He asked me if the Uchiha clan has been wiped out." Naruko said as he spun her around.

"I guess you can consider it in a way but I don't think so because some are still alive. If we all died then yeah I would consider it." Sasuke said softly so no one else would hear.

"What would you consider it then?" Naruko asked as Sasuke twirled her around.

"I think you two should focus on not letting the future slip out too much. We can't change it to the point where we damage it." Kurama said.

"Kurama if anyone damaged it; it was you because you said what you said to Sasuke in front of everyone," Naruko said.

"We still need to be discreet about what else we let out to other people," Sasuke said.

"He's right, would if we're the reason why the fighting is going on in the future? Think about it we accidentally put the seed of doubt in their mind that the clans being together are going to work. He doesn't even know that the Senju and Uzumaki clans are already on the brink of extinction too. Naruto your one of the only known Uzumaki's from your time and Tsunade is one of the only Senju from your time." Kurama explained.

"Shit I didn't even think about it like that. We could have messed up the future already by letting what was said slip out. We need to do damage control fast and not only that but two more clans from this time isn't really around either. So we don't want to start a fight that isn't necessary," Naruko said in a completely serious tone.

"I know, so what should we do?" Sasuke asked.

"You can tell them your parents died and you're an only child from the head of the clan. That's why you live alone," Naruko said.

"Okay but what about how everything happened?" Sasuke asked.

"Be discreet and not say too much but at least be as honest as you can be," Naruko said just as Madara and Izuna came up to him.

"Can we cut in?" Madara asked.

"Sure," Sasuke said stepping away from Naruko to notice her getting pulled away by Tobirama.

"I will be here," Naruko said as the Uchiha brothers pulled Sasuke away from the party.

Naruko looked at the scared face of Sasuke and could tell he didn't want to go with them and she knew she wouldn't let anything happen to Sasuke if necessary.

"Naruko what is going on?" Tobirama asked as he started to dance with her.

"I can't tell you everything but..." Naruko started but looked back and made eye contact with Sasuke. "I have to go make sure he is okay," Naruko said letting Tobirama's hand and running after the Uchiha brothers and Tobirama ran after her.

"Tell us what happened," Madara said.

"It was clan related in my time it's not your business," Sasuke said.

"You little..." Izuna growled out.

"Izuna calm down, you don't have to feel threatened by us we're clansmen with you. You can trust us," Madara said.

"Then understand that its clan business and you know as much as I do that we can't interfere outsiders," Sasuke said.

Madara's eyes turned red and made Sasuke flinch just as Naruko got into view.

"SASUKE! Madara calm yourself," Naruko said getting in front of Sasuke. "When Kurama said what he said it was because Sasuke is an orphan and things aren't the same as they are now. That is the only thing we can tell you without changing the direction of time. If we tell you more than we don't know what we will be going back to." Naruko said as she held out her hand to Sasuke to help him up from her jumping to him.

"Naruko what's going on?" Tobirama asked.

"They heard something they weren't supposed to from Kurama and it was taken the wrong way," Naruko said in a discreet way.

"Fine, you can go," Madara said calming down.

"No, is there more than one Uchiha alive in your time?" Izuna asked not letting it go.

"Yes, there is," Naruko said looking Izuna straight in the eye with no fear.

"Fine I will accept that," Izuna said.

Naruko looked at Sasuke dusting him off.

"Why did you come back for me?" Sasuke asked.

"Because I knew you wouldn't tell them anything that would get them to leave you alone and that you would piss them off... and not only that but you looked like you didn't want me to leave you," Naruko said looking away from Sasuke.

"Can I get a dance now?" Tobirama interrupted.

Naruko looked at Tobirama seeing the irritation on his face and it made her smile then glance at Sasuke who gestured for her to go and dance while he sat down. She smiled at him before walking away and left the saddened Uchiha by himself.

She protected him despite everything he ever did to her in his life. Yeah, he was outright mean to her like other people but he didn't make life easier for her either and now that really made him feel bad because despite everything she came and protected him.

He could feel his face getting hot as his heart sped up. It felt like that night that they came here. His eyes were starting to blur and just as he was blacking out he saw Izuna coming out of the bushes grabbing him when he was out.

Naruko was experiencing the same thing and mumbled to them to go to Sasuke.

"What do you think is going on Tobi?" Hashirama asked as they set Sasuke on the bed next to Naruko.

"I don't know but they both seem to know what is going on," Tobirama said.

The two were in a realm neither knew about and were slightly confused.

"Where are we?" Sasuke asked looking at Naruko.

"I have no idea," Naruko said as she looked around.

"I told you two that this was going to happen," Kurama said standing in front of them in a boy version of Naruko but with red hair.

"Where are we Kurama?" Naruko asked walking toward him.

"We are in a different realm," Kurama said simply.

"What do you mean by that?" Sasuke asked coming toward him.

"We are in the past that isn't our rightful time. Not only that but we messed time up in a way." Kurama said.

"You mean you did," Naruko said sitting down in a meditating way to see if she could feel chakra.

"That is not a way to talk to me Naru," Kurama growled but sat next to her.

"What are you two doing?" Sasuke asked sitting next to them.

"We're searching for chakra we're familiar with," Naruko answered not opening her eyes.

"Just sit down and concentrate Sasuke," Kurama said before he could talk.

"I don't get it but okay," Sasuke said closing his eyes and he started to feel chakra circle him one being Naruko's. "Is it normal that I feel yours?" Sasuke asked quietly.

"Yes, but we are trying to find chakra outside of this realm," Naruko said.

"I don't really understand why we are here," Sasuke said honestly.

"It's like being in another world without your physical form," Naruko answered.

"That is not a good way to explain it," Kurama said shaking his head and opened his eyes turning his body toward Sasuke. "So, this is a space for me and Naru in her mind but we added you in it because of what was going on with both of your bodies. At this point, your chakras are linked together and we don't really know why. But we need to know if you can sense someone from our original time." Kurama explained.

"What?" Sasuke questioned slightly shocked.

"We need to go back before we mess up the timeline even more. You know what happens from the history books Sasuke and this is a past that can prevent from messing with." Naruko said.

"What are you... oh," Sasuke said finally understanding.

"We are trying to prevent the fight that is bound to happen if we stay here. We know from our history books that Izuna died from Tobi and Madara got Izuna's eyes after that. We say too much like we did today can really mess up the peace they are currently trying to have." Naruko said.

"We're trying to change the past," Sasuke said.

"Yes, and possibly save a lot of people who died unnecessarily like almost all your clan members," Naruko said.

"And yours Naruko along with the Senju but first we need to erase their memories about us and let the peace continue," Kurama said and looked at Naruko's sad face. "I'm sorry but this has to happen if you don't want any of them to die a meaningless death," Kurama said.

"I understand," Naruko said.

"Will we remember?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes, sadly time will go back to the moment before you came here," Kurama explained.

"Can we at least say goodbye?" Naruko asked.

"Saying goodbye is pointless Naru," Kurama said.

Naruko understood she really did but that doesn't mean she has to like it.

"Where do we have to go?" Sasuke asked holding Naruko's hand.

"To the spot where they found Naruko," Kurama said. "The time-space is open again tonight," Kurama said.

"Understood," Sasuke said and they opened their eyes to see the four men in front of them.

"What happened you two?" Izuna asked concern in his eyes.

"I don't know I just felt sick and collapsed," Sasuke said.

"The same," Naruko said. "It might be because of the time thing," Naruko said not trying to lie completely.

"That's what we were thinking," Madara said coming into view.

"I think we may be going back within a week." Naruko lied looking straight at Madara having a secret conversation with him.

"Then let's make the best of it right?" Madara said with a small smile that only Naruko and Sasuke saw.

The night was filled with drinks and partying with the six of them. By the end of the night, Madara was the only one awake with the two of them.

"So tonight?" Madara asked sipping his sake.

"Yeah," Naruko said shocking Sasuke.

"Naruko what the hell?" Sasuke asked.

"Calm down Sasuke I already knew, she may be able to lie to these fools but not me or Tobi for the most part," Madara said looking at the sleeping Tobirama who was near the door.

"Please tell him I'm sorry," Naruko said hugging Madara then walking toward the door with Sasuke who just bowed at his ancestor.

"Good luck Naruko," Madara said and the two were gone out the door running to where she knew she was found.

"Straight ahead Naru," Kurama rumbled inside her.

"Do you feel that Naruko?" Sasuke asked as they ran through the forest.

"Yes, it's old Konoha," Naruko said and just as they were about to go through the portal Tobirama grabbed her arm.

"Don't leave," Tobirama pleaded.

"I'm sorry I have too," Naruko said pulling her hand away only to pull him into a hug and kissing him gently on the cheek. "I promise things will be better this time around," Naruko said letting him go and jumping in the portal.

Sasuke and Naruko were both in the pond Naruko was in the night she was attacked tangled up with each other.

"Sasuke would if we changed too much?" Naruko asked getting a shrug from Sasuke.

"We won't know until we get there," Sasuke said as he got up then helped her up.

When he tried to let go of her hand she held on harder. When he glanced at her she was crying and he couldn't help but pull her into a hug comforting her.

"We can stay here for a little longer," Sasuke said pulling her and himself out the water sitting below a tree to block out the light.

After a few minutes of crying, Naruko was ready to go and Sasuke didn't say anything just walked with her back to the village. There it was the mountain with the heads.

"Oh my god!" Naruko and Sasuke both said at the same time.


Reviews...

What do you think Naruko and Sasuke changed in the future? Also, do you think Tobirama is going to remember his feelings for Naruko or remember her at all? What do you want to see in the next chapter? What do you think is different now that they are in their right time? How did you feel about Madara knowing more than the others and not saying anything?
