The only reason I am adding this chapter is because I finished it almost three months ago but nobody has reviewed. I will not be continuing this story for a while, maybe never. Just a heads up.

Himawari ran a little ways ahead of the group and suddenly stopped. A smile that could compete with her father's emerged on her face as she excitedly pointed at the large wall surrounding the Sand Village.

"There it is!" She exclaimed happily. Turning to face the others, who weren't as hyped up as she is, she yelled. "Hurry up slowpokes! I want to be there now!"

Himawari continued ahead of the group, but would stop every few seconds for the others to catch up before she'd move forward.

"What's Kushina so happy about?" Choji wondered. "It's not like anyone she knows in the future is here."

"Actually," Boruto butted in. "There are two people that lives in Suna in the future as they do now. Every time she sees one of them, she has to give him a hug. She loves him like a father and frankly so do I. Our dad is such goods with him that the man watches us when we visit. Hell, he sometimes grounds us like a father would."

The shinobi from that time were quite curious about who the mysterious man was. However Naruto was the one to ask who it was.

A smile almost as bright as Himawari's graced his lips, which was very rare to see in the future. Announcing the name was all it took to cheer up the rest of the group and make them hurry on. The person was none other than-

"Gaara!"

The four from the future assumed the Suna now would be completely different than the Suna in the future. They thought since Konoha seemed to change completely, Suna must have done the same.

But that wasn't the case.

Suna didn't appear to change at all. In fact, the trio that goes there often lead the others through their usual path to the Kazekage's Building. However, Himawari didn't bother stopping when Baki greeted the group at the door. She walked right passed him and headed straight for her destination, which had the door open.

"Gaara!" Himawari yelled as she ran into the office and hugged the young Kazekage.

The three Sand Siblings were confused and bewildered by the girl's sudden action as the others finally arrived. "My apologize, Lord Kazekage," Boruto announced with the words being strange on his tongue. "My sister, our friends, and myself are not from this time. We came with the ninjas from the Leaf to ask for your assistance."

Gaara gazed at the young girl, who had her head buried in his chest and her arms wrapped around him, but not constricting his arm movements. The girl did seem oddly familiar to him, yet he could swear he has never seen her before.

"Child." Himawari looked up at him with her big blue innocent eyes. Gaara hesitated. Her eyes looked oddly familiar to him as well, almost as if they belonged to an old friend. Finally he wondered, "Who are you?"

Her eyes went wide with fear and sadness. It almost crushed his heart to see her like that, and he didn't know why. "You don't remember me?" Even her voice sounded like her eyes displayed; a wounded child that lost her father.

Temari's feelings must have been similar for she gently placed her hand on Himawari's shoulder in a motherly way. "Sweetie, he doesn't-"

"NO!" Himawari screamed, frightening the others in the room, and shoved the older ninja's hand away. "He has to remember me! He has to!"

"Child," Gaara began again to get the child's attention. "I don't. . ." He stopped himself for the girl had laid her hand, infused with chakra, against his cheek. When she did, Gaara's eyes started to glow. All kinds of memories flooded into his mind; one of them being a little girl about five years old with blue hair and whiskers running to give him a big hug because she hadn't seen him in weeks.

Kankuro finally yanked her hand away from his brother. "Look kid. You can't come barging in and-"

"That's enough Kankuro!" He looked down at Himawari who gazed at him hopefully. He smiled reassuringly. "She's an honored and beloved guest."

Taking in the rest of the group, he noticed the other three that were looking fearful. "Everyone please leave." Gaara ordered. "I need to speak with these four in private."

Within a couple minutes the others left the room reluctantly. Gaara, sitting on the edge of his desk with one of his arms still wrapped around Himawari, asked, "What the hell are you doing here and what the hell have you two done to your hair and face?"

"Are you mad?" Boruto questioned.

"You're both grounded for two weeks if that's what you're asking." Gaara touched Himawari's cheek to see if it hurt her and she winced on contact. "Have you tried anything for it?"

"Medical jutsu." Sarada answered for her. "It didn't work because the whiskers grew back."

"Why get rid of them?"

"Dad had his suspicions on us." Shikadai provided. "Although their whiskers were gone before he saw them, he came up with a logical theory on how the siblings could be Naruto's kids. Their hair had to be dyed to avoid their parents being discovered."

"That's why you're wearing contacts then." Gaara mused before promising the siblings, "I'll have Temari get you some ointment to treat the burns. Hopefully it won't cause your whiskers to grow."

"Thank you."

Gaara only nodded before interrogating, "Where will you go from here? Do you have any plans?"

"We'll head to the Hidden Cloud after we leave Suna." Himawari confirmed. "If we find nothing there, we'll have Killer B join us on our travels."

"That will be near impossible." Gaara argued. "In this time his brother is the Rakage. He is protective of Bee because of the Akatsuki kidnapping him. He won't let him leave without an escort."

"We can convince him." Sarada reassured. "Or Naruto can, which ever's best."

"You might want to head to the Rock Village first." Gaara suggested. "If you go to the Hidden Cloud, you'll be retracing your steps."

"We know." Shikadai denied. "But there's no jinchurikis in Rock, only in Cloud and Leaf. We came here to see you and because Kakashi suggested it."

"We'll keep you updated like we are him." Boruto promised.

"You can stay here for the night and then start your travel in the morning." Gaara offered. "If you go the same speed as you did here you'll be back at Konoha within a day if you take no breaks.

He motioned to outside. "Go explore the village. I'll explain everything to the others without giving you away. If you need to buy anything, tell the merchants to keep a tab for the Kazekage."

Himawari gave him another hug. "Thank you, Gaara!"

He kissed the top of her head lovingly. "Anything for my little girl."
