Chapter 7: Reflections
The sun was setting and nightfall was about to begin in the hidden leaf village and Naruto was finished doing another set of paperwork.
"Ugh thank goodness I'm almost halfway done with this" Naruto said as he put the paperwork away.
"Well with the way your going maybe you and I can go both go home today Naruto" Shikamaru said to the young hokage.
"You and I both know that's not true Shikamaru" Naruto said to his friend and advisor.
"Hey a man can dream can he" Shikamaru said causing Naruto to chuckle a little bit.
"So what are you going to do to try to send your younger self back home?" Shikamaru said to the young Hokage.
"I actually don't know yet there got to be some justu out there at least that can send him back home but until we look for it he just going to have to stay here" Naruto replied.
"Are you thinking about contacting Sasuke and asking him for his help in this" Shikamaru asked.
"Yeah I figure that I ask him to look for some information regarding the situation" Naruto said he heard a peck coming from behind the window and he and Shikamaru turned and found that it was Sasuke hawk and it was carrying a message.
"Its Sasuke hawk" Shikamaru said as Naruto got up and he opened the window so he could get the message Sasuke sent to him.
Once Naruto got the message he flew off and he closed the window.
"I swear this guy really needs to get a phone or a computer" Shikamaru nurtured he then looked and that Naruto was reading the letter and once he was finished he sigh a bit and rubbed his head.
"What's wrong?" Shikamaru asked Naruto.
"It looks like things have gotten a bit more complicated" Naruto said to Shikamaru who had a confuse look on his face wondering just what Sasuke had wrote in that letter.
Meanwhile a little bit later on at night Hinata had finished making dinner and once she was finished she called Naruto ,Hinata and Boruto down so they can and it wasn't long until all four of them were sitting down at the table in the dining room.
After a quick prayer to the food everybody then begin to eat.
"Oh man this is so good Hinata" Naruto said as he was eating the food.
"Thank you Naruto...I hope Boruto and Himawari didn't give you any trouble" Hinata said.
"Nah they didn't they are pretty cool Boruto showed me a lot cool games and stuff he had and it was awesome" Naruto said as he looked at his future kids and smiled at them.
"Heh yeah I have to admit mom dad is pretty awesome as a kid we even discuss on the pranks we did in the past" Boruto said.
"Still don't like how you gave my future self hell though or you painted my face" Naruto said though he could understand why though when he did those pranks he just wanted to be notice by the villagers but with Boruto he guess he wanted his older self to notice him.
"Yeah sorry about that d-Naruto but I can promise you we are good for the most part" Boruto said.
"Well that's good to hear speaking of my older self is he going to come home soon" Naruto asked.
"I'm afraid he probably not going to come tonight he rarely comes home due to work" Hinata said.
Naruto frowned at that did he really have work that much that he didn't spend enough time with his family he could understand because his future self has to take care and look after the village he remembers that old man third told him he considers the entire village his family. But still maybe he could take a day off to spend time with Hinata and the kids he going to have to remember that in the future.
"So he just spends most of the night in his office geez he must get exhausted a lot" Naruto said while Hinata smiled at the younger version of her husband.
"Yeah but you wouldn't have it any other way right after all you worked very hard to get to this point" Hinata said.
"Of course not I know that being hokage is not easy but I know that I'm going to be ready for the task after all my future self worked hard to be hokage I just need to do the same in order to get to that point" Naruto said as he punched his right hand with his fist.
Boruto looked at the younger version of his dad he never saw that fiery determination from his dad before. When he first met Naruto he could tell he was a lot more energetic and maybe a bit reckless then his older self they both can have the same tendenices but he never seen this determination the need to prove himself from his older self.
"Well its not really a big deal though we are pretty use to it besides I'm pretty much the man of the house when your gone" Boruto said in a confident tone.
"Besides big brother Naruto your here now so in a way everybody here" Himawari said as she gave Naruto a big smile witch he chuckled a bit.
"I'll admit it Himawari is pretty adorable" Naruto thought while looking at the young girl.
After that moment all four of them finished eating their dinner and Naruto and Himawari even helped Hinata cleaned up a bit and after a few hours it wasn't long until it was time for bed.
"Well Naruto you can sleep in the guest room up stairs and since I imagine since you and Boruto are the same size you can wear some of his clothes for bed" Hinata said to the young Uzumaki.
"Alright thanks Hinata" Naruto said.
"Well I'm going to bed I got to meet my team tomorrow we probably might go on a mission soon I'll leave the clothes in the guest room night mom Naruto" Boruto said as he was going up the stairs.
"Good night mommy good night big brother Naruto" Himawari said as she went up the stairs as well.
"Good night you two" Hinata said to her children she then looked at Naruto.
"Today must have been an eventful day for you" Hinata said to Naruto.
He stretched his arms and yawned "yeah it was,its a lot to take in but I think I handle it ok so far but maybe a good night sleep would also make it all better as well" Naruto said.
"Yeah if you ever need something Naruto I'm here to help you" Hinata said.
"Thank you Hinata before I go to bed I want to say something to you and maybe ask you something" Naruto said to Hinata.
"Sure what is it Naruto" Hinata said to the younger version of her husband.
"Hinata I think your one of the strongest people I know" Naruto said
Hinata gasp a bit at that statement "really you really think so..." she asked.
"Yeah I do from the looks of it you don't really go out on missions that much anymore because your taking care of Boruto and Himawari you basically had to play the role of both parents for a bit since my older self is busy being the hokage and I'm sure he is greatful for everything you do for him but not just him but the kids as well. They might not see it but your the glue that keeps this family together and you know what I notice how strong you was when you fought Neji back in the chunin exams you really are amazing Hinata I'm really lucky to have you as my wife" Naruto grinned.
Hinata flinch a bit when Naruto mentioned Neji name but she was taken a back on how Naruto said she was one of the strongest people he knew it was really amazing that Naruto well the young Naruto really ankowledge her and was glad that he said he was lucky that she was his wife. It was almost like she fell in love with him all over again.
She then went up to Naruto bend down a bit and gave him a hug and Naruto head was rested between her breasts.
"Thank you Naruto and I'm so happy that your my husband and I'm glad you think so highly of me" Hinata said.
Naruto blushed a bit "y-yeah no problem Hinata" Naruto said "so big" he thought.
"Now then didnt you say that you wanted to ask me something" Hinata ask as she let go of Naruto.
"Oh yeah I was wondering Hinata if you mind that you fight me it doesn't have to be anything serious if you don't want to" Naruto said.
Hinata thought about it, its been awhile since she last fought so this could be a great time for her to get back in shape and prepare if they ever get attacked again plus she also wouldn't mind seeing this version of Naruto fight again to bring back old memories.
"Ok Naruto I'll fight you how does tomorrow sound" Hinata asked.
"That's sounds great I can't wait I bet you gotten super powerful Hinata" Naruto said to the older Hyuga.
"I guess" Hinata said as she giggled a bit.
"Well I'm going to head off to bed night Hinata" Naruto said as he went upstairs.
"Good night Naruto" Hinata said to the younger version of her husband.
Meanwhile we go back a bit to Sasuke and his adult self currently the two of them were jumping from tree to tree and the two didnt say that much to each other but as they were traveling young Sasuke noticed some things about his adult self.
"What happened what happened to his left arm and his right eye that wasn't a sharingan just what was that" young Sasuke thought.
"We should be getting closer to the border now once we reach there we are going to take a bit of a break" adult Sasuke said to his younger self.
"Hmph" young Sasuke said as he kept going with his adult self after a couple of minutes both young and adult Sasuke arrived at the final valley and once they gotten to the final valley young Sasuke was shocked.
"What happened to this place!" young Sasuke said as his adult self was walking up to a piece of the statue that had the hand gesture.
"I'm sure you have some questions but we should go and sit down for a bit before we go" adult Sasuke said calmy.
Young Sasuke merely followed his younger self and the two of them were sitting on top of the destroyed hand gesture in the valley the two didnt say anything to each other at first for a few minutes until young Sasuke decided to speak.
"What the hell happen to this place?" Young Sasuke asked.
Adult Sasuke didnt answer at first but he finally spoke and said "about fifteen years ago I was in a battle" he said.
"Let me guess against Naruto and this is the result of your battle was he the reason you lost your left arm" young Sasuke said.
Adult Sasuke didnt say anything witch gave young Sasuke all the answer he needed "tch Naruto just when I thought I was finally rid of him he keeps coming back damn it" young Sasuke said.
"You and I both know how stubborn Naruto is even after our first battle he never gave up on us he spent almost three years just so he could bring us back to the village" adult Sasuke said.
"Hmph if he had that much training he should have used that so he could become hokage" Young Saskue said.
Adult Saskue could see the irony in that statement since he said something similar to Naruto when he first saw him and Sakura for the first time after he left the village all those years ago he wonders how surprise his younger self would be when he finds out Naruto became the hokage.
"Hmph I guess it doesn't matter if I would have won I would have spared Naruto because I refuse to gain power Itachi ways but if we somehow meet again I will kill him without a second thought that is until after I come back to my own timeline" young Sasuke said.
Adult Sasuke just looked at his younger self, it was still amazing looking at him reminded himself of all the past mistakes he ever did this is a version of him that is so consumed by revenge that he didn't care what happens in the end. A part of him wish he could tell him what happen to Itachi the clan Danzo everything...but if he did he could change everything and he might not ever break free of his hatred and Naruto won't be able to save him.
"That eye of yours" Young Sasuke said as he interrupted his adult self thoughts.
"That's not a Sharingan is it not the Mangekyou Sharingan so what is it" young Sasuke asked.
"Its the Rinnegan its one of the three great dojustu" adult Sasuke said to his younger self.
"The Rinnegan" young Sasuke said.
"But don't worry you'll get it soon enough" adult Sasuke said.
Young SasIle didn't say anything and the two of them sat in silence for a bit till the sun was setting.
Young Sasuke stood up "we wasted enough time here lets go or else I'll leave you behind" young Sasuke said as he got up and jumped down from the statue.
Adult Sasuke looked at her younger self and he was silently wondering how will younger self handle his marriage to Sakura and his daughter only time will tell but hopefully his younger self won't give Sakura and Sarada a hard time and wishful thinking on his part he won't say too much about his past and about getting his revenge on Itachi. Sadara don't have anything to do with his past his clans past nor Itachi. He wants Sadara to walk her own path that's seperate from the path he took and her wanting to become hokage was a nice start. Another thing that Sasuke will have to thank Naruto for. After that Sasuke jumped down from the statue and he followed his younger self as they headed straight towards the leaf village.
