Author's Note:

I'm sorry about how short this chapter is. I've been pretty brain dead today so this chapter probably sucks as well. Hopefully having school tomorrow will make my brain start working.

It was really hard for Naruto to stay focused, afterall Hinata was right there in front of him. Alive and breathing and just as beautiful as ever. But he had to protect her, it was the never ending thought in his mind. He couldn't fail a second time.

Once they sat down to enjoy their meal, Naruto spotted the twins. He picked out to kunai and threw them. They silently hit their targets, but it was far than enough to kill them. And unfortunately the attack was loud enough that the original Naruto and Hinata noticed it.

The Naruto from the future ran into the clearing. "Run! Get out of here!"

The couple was stunned and confused, which angered the future Naruto.

"Hinata is in danger. Save her now!" he ordered. Saying that HInata was in danger spurred the original Naruto into action, picking up his girlfriend and running from the battle about to take place. Hatrid burned in Naruto's eyes as he knew that he was about to get revenge. He would never again get to hold Hinata, the other Naruto would do that. His Hinata had died, and these shinobi caused that to happen.

Only five days had passed, he had eight left before his existance would end. He shivered when he remembered that Kotone had told him that it would be painful. He wondered what exactly that would mean, but tried his hardest to push it out of his mind.

He wondered where the old him had taken Hinata. It would have to be some place safe, where they would never look for them. Hopefully lots of people would be there and they could blend into a crowd while perhaps even continuing their date.

Naruto snapped his fingers and smiled as he figured out where they would be.

"BBQ!" he exclaimed happily. He figured he owed them an explination, and this way he would get to spend some time with Hinata, even if it wasn't his Hinata. At least he'd given this future a chance. Hinata was safe and that was all he could ask for right then.

The shinobi ran off to his destination and quickly found the couple in a booth hidden in the back corner of the restaurant.

"Oi. I need to talk to you." he exclaimed. Immediately the original Naruto moved to shield Hinata.

"D-don't worry. I'm not here to hurt you. I'm from the future. I came back to save Hinata." he explained quickly.

"And why should I believe you?" the original asked.

"Because I'm you. Seriously, ask me anything."

After a long line of questions, from clothing sizes, to memories, to embarassing moments, they started to believe him.

"Why would you have to save Hinata?" the original questioned. The Naruto from the future sighed sadly, not particularly wanting to relive that but understanding that he should probably tell them.

"Back there were two ninjas from Kumogakure who were going to kidnap Hinata. T-they threw a poisoned dagger at me, catching me off guard. I don't know what happened next, but when I woke up Hinata was gone. So I chased after them and found a place where Hinata had managed to off one of them, they were twins, and the remaining ninja injured Hinata. It scared me to death. But Kiba helped me track down where she'd been taken. I was stupid, I ended up poisoned again and when I woke up I couldn't move. Hinata was there too. A-and...she was injured and weak and she somehow escaped being tied up, they didn't poison her. And she attacked the ninja and h-his sword..." Naruto was so angry right then that he had to stop the story. The original Naruto was tightly holding onto Hinata's hand, terrified that they'd so narrowly avoided that fate.

"Hinata managed to kill him, but at the cost of her own life. I took her back home and Baa-chan told me she'd died. The night after the funeral, I had a strange dream. My parents told me to go to Suna to look for a shinobi named Minoru. So I did and I found his granddaughter who could perform this amazing time travel jutsu that's actually forbidden but luckily Gaara allowed it. And so I came here and saved Hinata..."

The story was fast and hard for the couple to understand, but they got the idea behind it. If this Naruto hadn't time traveled, Hinata would've been dead. It terrified both of them, who'd just started going out, and for once being completely happy despite everything else.

"Well. I guess I should go. I'm suppossed to disappear in a few days." the future Naruto said before awkwardly leaving.
