"Where are you going?" Asuma asked Kakashi
"A walk to clear my head" he answered as he closed the door behind him.
The sun was shining brightly above his head and he started his aimless walk around town. "So if I die, Obito survives" he thought "Doesn't seem bad if I knew Itachi won't massacre the clan"
"How did I end up here?" he asked himself as he stared at the KIA stone "Maybe got used to the route here" Kakashi shrugged "Looks like my name won't be here but Obito's won't be either"
He stared up as the sun began to set "Bright side to everything"
"Have you figured it out or should I just tell you" A mysterious voice asked.
Kakashi turned around to face a young woman wearing a red shawl around her neck. Her hair was sleek black and her skin pale white. "Most beautiful woman I've ever seen" Kakashi thought
"Figure out what exactly?" Kakashi asked
"Why you were sent you back in time?" she asked innocently
"You're responsible for all this" Kakashi asked shocked
She laughed out loudly "No."
"You're lying" he accused like a child
"Wanna bet?" she asked playfully and Kakashi was suddenly propelled away from Konoha.
"Where am I?" Kakashi asked as the headache subsided
"This is the future if you die" she said. It was a disaster. Everything lay shattered and paupers were lying everywhere begging for food. Children were as thin as sticks, wearing stitched clothes.
"What's going on?" Kakashi asked "How can one person change the future this much?"
"Let's go back to the beginning" she said as they travelled in time yet again.
"Do I always have to get a headache?" Kakashi yelled over a woman's cries
"No but I like it" the woman laughed
Kakashi glared but turned his attention towards the wailing mother.
"Is that my mother?" asked Kakashi
"Sure is" the woman said as she watched Kakashi go closer to get a better look "She's a beauty isn't she". She started floating around while Kakashi stared at his mother.
"I caused her this much agony" Kakashi whispered
"Don't worry it's what birth is" the woman said
Suddenly the mother's cries died away as they were replace with a baby's angelic whimpers
"You're so cute" she giggled as she made faces to baby Kakashi who didn't even see her.
"Quick. We're losing the mother" a nurse yelled
"Blood pressure is decreasing at a high rate" another said
"The baby is also dying" another yelled as he tended to baby Kakashi
"We can't lose both" the head said as he rushed towards the mother while his assistant rushed towards the baby.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
"Heart beats down" a nurse said
"Shock her" another said
After a few shocks the mother remained dormant
"We lost her" said the head as he went to check on the baby
"He's having trouble breathing" a nurse was saying
"Get an oxygen tube here stat" the head said as he took over a doctor.
"Watch now" the woman said as she pulled Kakashi with her
"Is this the child we are supposed to save?" asked someone as Kakashi tried to identify who. Nobody was there other than the doctors.
"Let me help" she said as she did a few hand signs and Kakashi saw another crowd floating around
"There like me" she explained "We determine fate and create prophases"
"So if people survive miraculously…" Kakashi said
"It's one of our doings" she said
"So I should've died from birth?" Kakashi asked
"Any many times after" she laughed
"What do you call yourselves?" Kakashi asked
"You won't be able to pronounce it so just stick with spirits" she laughed
"So am I prophecy?" Kakashi asked
"Yup" she smiled "My favorite, which is why I volunteered to save you"
"So being sent back in time isn't your doing" Kakashi said
"You are smart" she giggled
"Naruto is also a prophecy" she said
"Naruto?" he asked surprised
"A person that will bring about a great change either disastrous or peaceful" she said
"How so?" he asked
"I can't tell any more detail" she said
"What about my prophecy?" Kakashi asked
"A person that will create stability for a land that has known nothing but war and conflict" she said
"Nice to know that I fulfilled it" Kakashi said as he stared at his mother being taken away
"Not if we don't fix this" she said
"You mean being disease ridden?" Kakashi asked
"It's not that simple" she said as she took them to hill getting bored of the hospital
"Stop with the headaches"' Kakashi murmured
"Act like a man" she joked
"So are you going to explain?" he asked
"Yes" she said "In our world we also have countries we belong to, unlike ninja we become time keepers. Once you become an official keeper you can change the history of any person in that city."
"So you belong to the time keepers of Konoha?" asked Kakashi
"Yes. Anyway one of our time keepers went rogue and wants to create his own country. Like Orochimaru in your world…
"And he wants to do it by destroying Konoha" Kakashi completed for her
"How'd you know?" she joked
Kakashi just smirked. This woman was an interesting character
"Anyway," she continued "since he has the power to change Konoha's future he's a threat. We tried to track him down but that was impossible and in the end he managed to change the past."
"But why didn't he do it right away of he knew he was being tracked" asked Kakashi
"You need two conditions to change the past of a person" she said "One, you need to have the power and two you need to send that person in time through an arch"
"But Asuma went through not me" Kakashi pointed out
"If a person goes through you can either send him alone or send everybody around him at a 12 meter diameter" she elaborated
"I see" Kakashi said
"He didn't want to send all of you but he had no choice" she said
"What's his name?" Kakashi asked
"You never asked me for my name" she pretended to be sad
"Sorry" Kakashi said as he rubbed the back of his head
"My name is Akira" she said "and the guy going insane is Lugo"
"Do you have rogues often?" Kakashi asked
"No because unlike you only a few become time keepers in a generation" she said
"How can you fix this?" Kakashi asked
"You have to kill Lugo" she said
"ME?" Kakashi asked confused
"Don't worry I'll be helping you" Akira said "But I have to find him first"
"What if I die before you find him?" he asked
"Other spirits are protecting you as we speak" she said
"So it all depends on fate?" Kakashi asked
"For the first time in your case yes" she answered "But with a few sprits you have a better chance of surviving"
"Lucky me" Kakashi joked
"Don't worry I'll save you and that's a promise" she smiled
"Reminds me of Naruto in some way" he thought as he smiled back
"Time to go back and find Lugo" she said
"When you find him you'll teleport me to you?" Kakashi asked
"That's right" she said
"Thank you Akira" Kakashi said
"That's the first time you say my name" she blushed
Kakashi just smiled
"Oh, and don't tell anybody about our little talk" she said "because…"
"I don't need a reason" he said "I won't tell"
"Yosh" she said "Let's go back"
The world rolled over once more as Kakashi found himself sprawled on the floor in front of the KIA stone. The first thought to cross his mind was "No headache?"
