Don't own Naruto .o.o.

You know the rest...

"...Sasuke... save the kids... I can handle him," Sakura gasped between breathes, she tried to knock back his grip with a series of kicks to his chest, side, and back. But every time she tried to make contact with her intended target, the blow never connected. 'I don't understand, it's like there's some sort of invisible force that is absorbing my kick; what good is my strength if I can't hit him!'

"Your attempts to hit me are futile, my body emits a low frequency sonic pulse. Any physical attacks are slowed to a halt before they reach my flesh."

"You're... you're a mutation... just like the other guy."

'A mutaion? Kabuto's experiments, but I don't remember him being one of them. Could he have continued his sick tests even after Orochimaru's death?' Sasuke prepared kusanagi for his attack, he didn't know how to pull it off but he was going to rescue all of them and try not to get killed. He ran his options through his head one more time before he decided to strike, but he froze when he saw the shadow of a figure in his blade. 'Is that an comrade or enemy? If it was Naruto he would have already started shouting a mile away about being left behind... so who is that?'

"Is our discussion boring you Uchiha? Do their lives mean nothing!?"

"Shut up... you know nothing... Sasuke cares about them."

"Then he'll choose them over you, but then if he doesn't save you... they won't exist anyway."

"Sakura."

"Don't Sasuke... do what I say and save them! You can't abandon the mission," Sakura cried knowing her life was going to end because she was weak. 'It's never going to change... I'll always be so far behind, all that training for nothing. I'm going to die by the hands of some psychotic killer from the future.'

'He's going to kill her!' Sasuke looked back to see what their on looker was doing, he started to panic when he couldn't find the shadow in any of the trees behind him, 'Is he preparing for an attack?'

"Okaa-san!" Setsumi's screamed trying to reach out to her.

"Don't just stand there, save her you idiot!" Shiori hollered glaring at Sasuke.

The figure appeared in a tree behind Jyro the moment Sasuke looked up, 'What the hell is he... no, it... it can't be.' Sasuke was now confused, he knew Kakashi was back in the village in the hospital. He also knew that he, not including the kids, was the sole living heir to the Uchiha clan. If he knew this... then why were there a pair of Sharingan eyes staring at him from the shadows. The figure made a motion towards Jyro, but before Sasuke could understand what he meant the glowing sparks of the chidori caught his attention. 'But... that's impossible, he has my clan's bloodline trait and he knows the chidori? Judging by how big his shadow is, this man has to be Kakashi age, but that can't be. But I don't have a choice, if he's going to help... I need it.' Sasuke nodded agreeing with whatever plan the other man had.

As the figure disappeared from the tree, Sasuke placed his sword back in its' sheath and disappeared from the field. "He couldn't make a decision so he runs... that is not good for you girl."

"Who said anything about running?"

"What?"

Sasuke had appeared behind him and grabbed Sakura's limp body form the mist-nin's grasp. Sakura passed out from the tight grasp Jyro had on her throat, but the moment she was out of his clutches; she took in the much needed air her body craved and slowly opened her eyes. "Sa... Sasuke what... what happened? The kids... where are the kids?" she panicked trying to fight him off, a little confused as to what was going on.

"Sakura... Sakura it's me, you're alright, you're safe."

"Where are the kids Sasuke?" she asked again more desperately, wanting an answer now.

"I see you've made your choice, apparently your honor to the Leaf means little."

Sasuke placed Sakura on her feet with a smirk, "Since when did honor mean anything to me? You haven't been around very long to know what happened with my honor to Leaf."

"If you mean when you abandon the Leaf to ally yourself with the Sound... that's not new news," Jyro stated while approaching the small stone square that held the children.

Sakura grabbed onto Sasuke's shirt in a panic, "Sasuke you've got to stop him!"

"Calm down Sakura, I've got a plan," he tried to soothe her fears... but that wasn't working.

"If your honor means so little... then I assume the lives of these children mean nothing as well." A sword appeared out of thin air in Jyro's right hand, preparing to strike once he released the jutsu and the walls came down on the tiny jail cell.

"Sasuke!"

"I never said they meant nothing, touch them and you will die."

"The sonic pulse around my body will defuse any chakra based attacks you possess, how will you kill me?"

"Chidori!" a deep voice bellowed out form behind the mist shinobi.

"What!?"

"I never said I was going to kill you."

"Sasuke... who is that guy?" Sakura backed up behind Sasuke, slightly afraid of this new stranger.

"I don't know Sakura."

"You don't know!? This man could have been sent to kill the kids, and you're not on guard?"

"He won't hurt them."

"You don't know that!"

Jyro was shocked about just who had attacked him, "How... how could you be here?" But the other man didn't answer his question, he just pulled his hand out of Jyro's back, that had already begun to heal. However the chidori's current had sealed his chakra systems for the time being, preventing his body form being protected by the sonic waves. Sensing the danger in the area he jumped away from the other 3 shinobi, picked up Isis and Kazuma's bodies and disappeared into the trees.

Now that he was gone, Sakura ran over to the cell, "Are you guys okay?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah, get us out of here!"

"Alright, back away from this wall," she instructed, once she was sure they were safely away she tapped on the wall; instantly breaking it with the simple touch.

Setsumi ran outside and jumped into Sakura's arms, "Mommy, you're okay!"

"Yeah, I'm okay sweetie," Sakura pulled her closer, and away from the older man.

"The next time you decide to risk someone's life, make sure it's your own."

Setsumi turned her head in the direction for the familiar voice, "It wasn't Sasuke's fault, don't you dare blame him you jerk!" Sakura screamed in rage.

"Daddy?"

At his sister's questioning voice Shiori looked over at the man, "Oh boy... hey Dad, what's up? What you doin' here?"

"Setsumi, that's your Father?"

The child looked to her future Mother with a smile, her innocent green eyes sparkled with joy that her Father was here and okay, "Yup, that's my Daddy!" Sakura placed the child on the ground. When her feet touched the dirt, Setsumi immediately ran toward the older vision of Sasuke; who drew her into a hug the moment she reached him.

Sakura looked from the Sasuke at her side and the one of the future, trying to see familiar features on both of them. It would be rude to say that the older Uchiha wasn't handsome, because he was drop dead gorgeous! She never did meet his family before the massacre but she did hear rumors that Sasuke took after his Mother with her gentle features, but he clearly loses the boyishness as he comes into adult and parenthood; Sakura guessed that he probably would like his Father, had he lived. His eyes are what caught her attention the most, yes he had the same charcoal color eyes that her Sasuke had, but when Setsumi ran to him she saw them ignite with such life and passion... he truly had moved on from what happened to his clan all those years ago; and she was relieved to know that some day soon her Sasuke would be okay too.

"Daddy, you're okay! Is Mommy alright, that mean lady said that you were dead; that she killed you," just the thought of what the woman told them brought tears to the child's eyes, she buried her face in her Father's chest for comfort.

"Your Mother is fine, she's back at home."

"Dad... you didn't really answer me, what you doin' here?" Shiori smiled his normally innocent smile... to those that didn't know him.

"I've already been briefed on the trouble you've been causing... we'll discuss that later Shiori."

'Crap!'

"Um... Uchiha-san?" Sakura was a little unsure of what to call him, he was probably her superior so she gave him the respect he normally would get from anyone else that talked to him. When he looked at her with a brow raised, she blushed and averted her gaze. She didn't know what was worse, Sasuke with or without emotions, the older man's eyes were so captivating it was hard for her to complete a coherent thought while staring at him. "Um... why are you here? While you be taking the children home?"

"Yes... but they're not all I'm taking back. You, Sasuke, and Naruto are coming with us."

'We're going with them! To... the ...future!'

Note: Ok there you go! Sasuke from the future, the kids real Father, has appeared. And he wants to bring the kids and team 7 to the future, wonder what team 7 thinks about this? Why does he need them there?
