Tsunade is currently at the Hidden Leaf Cryptology Department, watching Shiho inspect the Chakra blade Saraki had brought with her.

Tsunade asks, "Do you have anything?"

The young cryptologist answers, "Well... it was definitely made by us." She holds the blade, "It took a little bit, but I found out that a lot of the supplies in it are from the leaf, for what I could encrypt."

Tsunade looks directly at the blade, "... Something like this would take months of work. And I never assigned weapons like this to be made."

Shiho asks, "Maybe someone secretly built it?"

"Or maybe..."

Shiho looks at her in question, but Tsunade stays silent, and thinks back to Naruto's previous claim. It's true that someone could had made it secretly, but the first person who told her of it was Naruto, and the last person who had it was Saraki. This crazy time-traveling story was more than obvious.

Shiho asks, "Lady Tsunade?"

After a few more seconds of silence, Tsunade speaks, "We're done, Shiho. I will take the blade now. I'll decided what to do with it."

The girl responds, "Of course." Shiho hands the Hokage the blade.

"Thank you for your time, Shiho. You may proceed with your duties."

Shiho nods, and Tsunade begins walking out of the department. Outside of it, she holds the blade with both hands, and looks at it again.

In her thoughts, 'Naruto is going through so much now, and even he doesn't know the complete story...' She looks upwards, 'It's quite obvious that this Naruto isn't from our time...' She gasps, and comes to a serious realization, 'Wait a minute! If this Naruto isn't from our time... then what happened to OUR Naruto?'


Naruto and Saraki are still at the apartment, and the daughter was laying her elbows on her shoulders, hands under her chin, and with a very impressed look on her face.

Naruto explains heroically, "And then I SMASHED my Rasenshuriken from behind him, sending him fly like a hundred feet away! The Rasenshuriken exploded, and destroyed his entire chakra system!"

"Woaaahh..." Saraki is very impressed by the story. "And you beat him alone?"

"I had help from my friends, but I delivered the final blow!"

"That's amazing, father! Can you tell me any cool stories from when you met mother?"

"But... I can't remember."

Saraki's excitement drops, "Oh... right, I forgot."

He puts his right hand on his head, "Man all this remembering and forgetting is really putting a strain on my head."

Saraki looks at him with concern. The story is much clearer to her than it is to him, but she only wonders about his memories, and who sealed them away. They were most likely sealed away to prevent any distortion in the present... but who?

"You know Saraki?" Naruto says, and she stops her thoughts, "You seemed pretty confident about me being your dad just by first sight."

She lightly smiles, "I... I did, yes. I had a lot of confidence that you were, and it turned out to be true. Lucky first, I guess. Overconfidence is a habit I gained myself heheh."

Naruto smiles back at her, but then Saraki gets serious.

"You really have such a beast sealed inside your body?"

"Yeah... I do. But I'm used to it. I don't get the same looks and stares like I did when I was little." He thinks for a moment, "Now that I think of it... You think that's where the source of your power came from?"

"Power?"

"Yeah you know, your killer... thing that you did to Orochimaru and Sasuke."

Saraki quickly thinks about it, but her mother's death is the first thing that appears on her head, and stutters.

"Oh I umm..." She gets a clearer thought of when she was angry that night, "Yeah... yes that's true!" She looks at her father, "It's possible I inherited it from you, father!"

"Well it showed at the hospital. You were terrifying! I'll have to be careful not to anger you, then."

Saraki lightly giggles, "... I still didn't appreciate that your friend punched you like that."

"You'll get used to it. She always-"

Saraki interrupts, "Father! I saw my mother get killed right before my eyes! How could I get used to also seeing my father get hurt!?"

"Well- it's just-... She doesn't really mean it, it's just how she is, I guess.."

"Well I don't like it... If she hits you because you deserve it, I can let that slide by... but you're in a tough situation right now, and it probably wasn't even your fault. Was hitting you really necessary?"

"Well... I guess not. I'm just used to it, that's all."

They hear knocking on the door.

Naruto starts getting up, "Coming!"

He walks up to the door, and opens it. It was Ino.

"Oh, Ino." He answers, " What brings you over?"

Ino responds, "Lady Tsunade wants the two of you to go to the Intelligence Division."

Naruto grows scared, "Oh cr- crap!" Saraki walks up to him, "That's- That's the place with that scary bald guy with the scars! Does Sakura still think I'm an impostor!?"

Ino answers, "Sakura has nothing to do with this, but you both better start heading there now!"

"I uh- right!"

Naruto quickly puts on his sandals, and Saraki asks, "Could this be about your case again?"

Her father answers quickly, "I don't know but if that Ibuki dude is there waiting for me-"

"Ibiki." Ino corrects him.

"Whatever! If he's interrogating me-" As he struggles to put on his other sandal standing up, "-then we better not keep him waiti- Gah!" He loses his balance, and falls on his back.

"Father!" Saraki quickly attends him.

Ino only says, "Oh boy..."


It wasn't long until Naruto and Saraki arrived to the Intelligence Division. When they enter the interrogation room, Tsunade, Ibiki, Shikaku, and Inoichi are there waiting for them. Naruto grows nervous when all of them lay eyes on the young father.

"Ehh..." The blond says, "How's it going?" He cracks a nervous smile.

Ibiki says, "Calm down, kid. You're not in trouble."

"Oh. So... you don't think I'm an impostor?"

Tsunade answers, "Well, we do know one thing, Naruto. Have a seat, both of you."

They follow the Hokage's order, and they both sit down in front of a table, with the four adults following suit. Saraki looks at the three new faces, more notably, the tall guy with the scars. Ibiki, as Ino had said earlier. Must had been the one Naruto was referring of. He wasn't kidding when he said Ibiki was scary. Or at least, scary-looking.

Naruto calms down, "So, what's up?"

Tsunade says, "You know very well what's up. This whole situation of yours has not only been confusing you, but it has many of us alarmed. Me, your friends, the Intelligence Division, and after taking about it with the T&I Department, it's now turning into something more serious... for you."

Naruto crosses his arms, "Well you don't say! Of course it's serious!"

"No, I mean, even more serious than initially."

Shikaku speaks, "Lady Tsunade told us that you were sent back in time and mated with a women from that era,-" He looks at Saraki, "-which lead to a sudden daughter of your age. Probably even older than you."

Saraki says, "Eighteen, sir..."

"Point proven."

Naruto looks at his daughter humorously surprised, but then looks back at them.

Shikaku continues, "And since the Naruto we knew was fifteen, you must be sixteen. Correct?"

Naruto thinks about it for a second, "Yeah... I guess I am."

"It's a clear case of time displacement, Naruto..."

The young father asks, "What?"

"It means... you're not from this timeline."

Naruto's eyes lightly widen to this statement, "Bu-... but I'm Naruto! You all know that!"

Shikaku continues, "We're not saying you're not Naruto, we're saying that you're not the Naruto of this timeline. And that's not all. The Naruto from this timeline... is missing."

Naruto grows anxious. It was all confusing him even more, but Saraki understands it very well. Though she can't deny she was also anxious for her father.

Tsunade speaks again, "You said the last thing you remembered from your timeline was being ambushed by some sorts of puppets."

Ibiki speaks, "So we're here to interrogate you to make sure you're not lying. It's possible that you could be an impostor, kid, but before we do anything else, we need to ask questions."

Naruto groans, "Here comes the questions agai- Oh you know what? I was training with my chakra blade until puppets ambushed me! That's the last thing I remember before I woke up in fancy clothes. Then I went to the hospital, and that's it! I can't member ANYTHING after I was ambushed if that's what you wanted to ask!"

All four adults stare at him, and Inoichi speaks, "Ibiki, I understand we have precautions, but I can't see us getting anywhere with an interrogation. We already have strong hints that this Naruto is from another timeline, but we don't know how he got here. It's best if we move on with the next part."

Ibiki responds, "Hmm... alright."

Naruto asks, "What's next?"

Inoichi talks, "I'm going to enter your head, Naruto, and look through your memories. If all is successful, not only will we know your story, but also gain an idea of what happened to our Naruto. I may even be able to unlock your memories."

Shikaku says in his thoughts, 'I think I already know what happened...'

Naruto responds, "Oh! Well what are we waiting for? Let's do it!"

Inoichi is sitting next to Naruto, and explains, "Alright. You said you can't remember what happened after you were kidnapped and before you woke up. It's obvious someone sealed away your memories, or completely erased them. Depending on which one it is, the progress might take some time."

Naruto agrees, "Right."

Saraki in her thoughts, 'Mother's seal was immediately broken by-...' She stops, not wanting to mention his name, '...Either the jutsu is powerful enough to not be easily broken by normal jutsu, or he-...' Referring to Orochimaru again, not wanting to remember him, 'or he is a very powerful man.'

Inochi explains to Naruto, "I need you to close your eyes, and hold your breath for a few seconds. I will place my hand on your head, and start the jutsu. When it's done, we'll both enter a state of subconsciousness."

Naruto answers, "Got it."

He then takes a deep breath, and Inoichi places his hand on the boy's head. He as well closes his eyes, "Ninja Art: Holding-Door Mind Transmission!"

The older blond's hand glows, and the jutsu begins to work, as Naruto and Inoichi both enter subconsciousness. Saraki and the others watch as the two blonds stay put.

Saraki asks, "How long will this take?"

Tsunade answers, "It depends on what he finds. But this one will take a while."

Ibiki says, "In the meanwhile. Tell us about yourself. Any bit of information call help us."

Saraki nods, "Okay..."


In Naruto's mind, Inoichi is surrounded by a fairly large and bright hallway with multiple doors.

Inoichi takes note of the place, lightly smirking, "Hm. I gotta hand it to you, Naruto. You may be dense, but you at least keep your mind nice, bright, and straight forward." He notices the hallway was a long path forward, "Literally." And starts walking, "At this rate, it shouldn't be too hard to navigate this place. Though it all depends on the seal is when I find it."

Inoichi walks for a few minutes, looking at all the doors, until he finds two doors at the end of the hallway.

"Two doors at the end of a hallway? Seems important."

He walks towards the two doors, and eventually approaches them. The door on the left had a kanji on it.

"First Friend..." Inoichi reads. He looks at the door on the right, which had a rather large paper on it, with the kanji of "Seal" on it.

"This is it." He stands in front of the door, and places his hand on the paper seal, "It's a big seal. And thick too. Whoever sealed your memories away must had been a very powerful person. And I can see why said person would make the seal so big. To not risk it leaking, and causing some of time distortion here in the present." He looks back at the long hallway behind him, and turns to the door again, "The only flaw on this seal is, no matter how big or thick it is, Naruto is simple-minded. No offense to him. The sealer would had probably thought it to be difficult to find, but thanks to Naruto's straight-forward thinking..."

The blond adult places his fingers on the edge of the seal, and lightly peels off littler of it.

"...Finding it wasn't hard."

With force, Inoichi completely peels off the huge seal on the door, and it disintegrates into nothing. The door also had a kanji on it.

"First Love..."

He turns his head to the 'First Friend' door on the left, and then back to the one in front of him, "Two doors at the end of the hallway. both with a special kanji on it. It must be very important to Naruto. And this one must be the memories of the woman Naruto met, and possible events. I'll have to confirm it myself in case lady Tsunade personally asks me."

Inoichi opens the door, enters, and slowly closes the door. It was full of many different eye views of this Naruto's journey. From when he was transported into the past, on the right of the room, to when he was transported back to the present on the left.

"Here they are..."

He walks to the left, and sees the one on the top. It was an eye view of Naruto being surrounded, and captured by puppets.

"I should've known... It's true that this Naruto was kidnapped by puppets, so the same obviously must had happened to our Naruto... How did I not see that coming?"

He then looks at the rest of the memories in the room. Naruto's arrival, his meeting with an unfamiliar red-headed woman, a battle with a giant puppet creature controlled by an unknown man, which Naruto defeated himself... and even a year more of memories. It was obvious that Naruto was stuck in the past with no way back.

Inoichi says to himself, "That explains his advancement in age."

The blond man quickly skims through Naruto's year. His time spent with the woman, his physical workout, the reconstruction of a... rather familiar kingdom, and Naruto's... 'night' with the woman that, while it does confirm Saraki, Inoichi blushes to the scene, and immediately looks at the next memories. The final memories catch his interest. It was Naruto standing in front of a mirror, dressing up in... orange fancy clothes. And on his right hand... he was holding a golden ring...

Inoichi feels slight pity, "...Oh boy..."


Outside of Naruto's head, Saraki finishes explaining her tragic history to the other three adults. She was uncomfortable explaining it to people outside of her father, but did so in order to help him. Tsunade is anxious and angry at the same time, and Ibiki and Shikaki are in surprise.

Tsunade asks, "you said you already told this story to Naruto, right?"

Saraki answers, "Yes..."

Shikaku says, "If Naruto gains his memories back..."

Ibiki then says, "It could lead him to do something stupid..."

Inoichi regains full consciousness, and removes his hand from Naruto's head, "I did it."

All of them look at him, and Saraki quickly responds, "You did it? You unsealed my father's memories!?"

Naruto regains his consciousness as well, but is shocked.

Saraki looks at him, "Father?"

Naruto doesn't say a word. He only gets up from his chair, and makes two steps, only to lean his arm against the wall. They all stare at him.

"I remember now..."

Tsunade asks, "Naruto?"

"... Sara... Roran, the fourth Hokage..."

This alarms all three adults, except for Inoichi as he already knows.

"My wedding with Sara... that bastard Mukade...! And then the damn fourth forced me back to the present! No matter how many times I told him! I didn't care about my present! I didn't care about being Hokage anymore! All I cared about was SARA!"

Hearing this, Saraki starts releasing tears. He slowly looks back at Saraki, also in tears, "...But I didn't know Sara was pregnant... Now I see my-... I see my-..." He smiles, "...the daughter I had with Sara that night, nineteen years ago... she's right in front of me..."

Saraki stands up, and gently walks to her father, with tears as heavy as his. The father and daughter duo stare at each other for just a few seconds, and then they both launch at each other into a deep hug. Naruto sniffs and breaths deeply, but Saraki starts sobbing heavily. The father puts his hand behind her head and the other arm on her upper back, to make sure he has a good grip of her, while his daughter puts both her arms around his back. Tsunade and Inoichi can't help but slightly tear up, and Ibiki and Shikaku smile.

After nineteen years, and a drastic time displacement... the father and daughter were finally united.
