So umm I forgot to tell you that this is in Boruto: Next Generation universe. Yeah. And also that these stories are pretty short. Sorry... Anyway, continue with the story and I don't own anything, okay.

Chapter 3: Who are you?

Silence engulfs the whole area. No one dares to say a thing about the news that Shisui's just spoken of. They are too shocked or speechless to say. This barren land, who was once the mini-village for the Uchiha's that always bustling with lives and souls, is now filled with rubbles of old ruins. Buildings that were once there containing the resident from the Uchiha clan are now filled with moss and wild grasses. Broken walls with the Uchiha fan on it, the paint is now dull without life. Still, they can't believe this is the Uchiha Compound that they were staying.

Uchiha Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha Clan, is now eyeing the broken land with his own two eyes. Mass disappointment swirls around in the pit of his stomach. His hands clench into a tight fist. His face is grim, void of any emotion. Once, when he was young, he always wonders how the compound looks like if the whole Uchiha's were to disappear. Will there be any animals stays inside one of the building? Will there be trees in the middle of the road? Now, he got all the answers.

The Kyuubi attacked the village. The Police Force didn't get to defend the village with other Shinobi's. They were accused by the council to have possessed the Kyuubi. Then, they were driven towards the edge of the village. And when time starts to slow down in the village, they decided to plan a coup. And the result. They didn't get the result that they have wanted. Shisui died. Finding out that Itachi was siding with the village this whole time. Itachi massacred them all. Ha. He never felt so lost in his life. Not lost. Crazy. Yeah, he thinks he's crazy right now.

When thinking that he is the current clan head that will soon be killed by his son because of his act.

He never felt so tired before in his life.

"Otou-san..."

He looks behind him towards the remaining Uchihas. Uchiha Shisui who had died. Uchiha Mikoto who will die beside him inside their house. Uchiha Itachi who ended his life. He feels bitter already thinking about that. Instinctively, he touches his head for a moment. He can also feel that an upcoming headache will attack him in any minute.

"Fugaku, are you alright?" Mikoto puts her warm hand on top of Fugaku's shoulder. Her husband probably had a hard time taking all of this in. Who wouldn't freak out when you just find yourself inside a barren land of Konoha that have lots of broken things then followed by the truth of this place? Mikoto looks at him solemnly. Fugaku takes this harder than anyone else since he is the clan head. He is responsible for any sorts of problems related to Uchiha. Imagine the responsibility for it.

He puts his hand on top of Mikoto's own and offered a reassuring smile from his own. "I'm fine. I'm just shocked, that is all."

Mikoto nods. Although she is hesitant to agree with him since Fugaku said that he's fine. Then, she looks at the other two Uchihas. Shisui and Itachi. How will they take them in? Well, Itachi probably didn't have any problem with it. What worries her more is how Shisui will take them in. And she later found herself doesn't need to worry about them.

Uchiha Shisui currently speaks with Itachi. His back against them as they speak in hush voices, clearly not wanting anyone hearing in. She looks at both of them from the distance, eyes not leaving the looks on her son's face. Shisui, from her guess, probably questioning Itachi over the details of the massacre as judging by his body movements that rapidly moves around. His arms actually. Then looking at Itachi's face that is blank as a canvas really doesn't calm her heart. As she surpasses a sigh that nearly escapes from her lips, a will of her burning brightly, wanting to know the true story from Itachi's own mouth.

"So, what do we do now?" Shisui asks the group. His arms are on the back of his head, his posture relaxes.

"We're getting out from the compound. Investigating our surroundings to confirm our whereabouts. Simply just said the place that we are all in isn't helping much," Fugaku said in a commanding voice. His arms cross as he thinks of any more actions that they gotta do. Surely finding the safest way to do things is crucial to avoid any problems.

Shisui nods. "What about information gathering? Should we approach villagers and tries to get information from them?"

"Is it wise enough?" Mikoto asks.

Itachi shakes his head. "No, we shouldn't do that."

"Why is that?" Shisui asks, confuse over the answer he gave them.

"Right now, with the fall of the clan and me that had died later on, the only survivor is Sasuke. Imagine the villagers reaction when seeing another Uchiha besides Sasuke roaming around the village?"

"They will report it to the Hokage," Mikoto said.

Itachi nods. "And what if it's the shinobi that spotted us? What will happened?"

"We will be sent to the TI headquarter," with that, a tired sigh escapes Shisui's lips. Man, he didn't want to meet the TI group. He imagine what will happened if he's there. They will crack his mind open trying to prove that he is a traitor.

Fugaku seems to consider Shisui's suggestion for a moment since he took his time thinking over it. "As Itachi said, I don't think that's a wise thing do now considering the situation that we are in. Let's keep it moderate for not and try not to arouse suspicion."

"But still how do we gather information without not knowing the state of the village is like? We can't just waltz in and trying to blend with the crowds. We didn't even know if the village had any sort of barrier over it," frustrated sound coming from Shisui.

True, they can't just walk in the village. It is too risky to do so. They didn't even know if this is the Konoha that they all know. They might have been thrown into the future or maybe the past.

"How about I accompany you guys around the village?"

A voice that belongs to a male, not from their group jolts them from their relaxed position. The Uchiha group jumps high in the air and lands on the tip of their toes into their own respective battle stance. Uchiha Fugaku, his right hand in front of Mikoto protectively. Itachi crouches low, his Sharingan is ready to be activated. Shisui hand is twitching beside his weapon pouch and he's readying his chakra to use the signature jutsu that grants him the name Shunshin no Shisui. Their posture is tense as they scanned the compound for any signs of the man. But the man, unfortunately, didn't show himself.

"Show yourself." Fugaku had enough of the waiting and he wants an answer right now. His Sharingan eyes come to life, searching for the man that had dared to interrupt their conversation. If he's a ninja, then he probably's cleaver to not showing himself but at the same time dumb enough as he didn't escape the scene. Although the Sharingan can be used to cast genjutsu on others, it also can see chakra flows from their body. And true enough, he can clearly see the chakra flow from the nearby trees in front of them.

Then, he shudders. How can they not detect the man's presence when he is just near them? Cold sweats run down and it sends shiver under his spin. Just imagine if the guy is an enemy and that a skilled one at that. They had probably died before they had the time to find out the enemy who's in hiding. That is one fatal mistake if they were in a war.

"Relax. I'm not your enemy-ttebayo," the man said again as he walks out from his hiding spot. They see the man's appearance that was covered by the shadows from the trees slowly being revealed. As the man stops moving, the groups stand their agape by his appearance. A million thought runs into their head.

"Minato?"

The blonde man, who has a pair of sky blue eyes, and three whiskers on each of his face blinks at Mikoto. His right hand which is wraps in bandages scratch his head, his eyes thin like the lines on his face. The looks on his face totally point out that he looks like an idiot.

Fugaku wants to interject Mikoto saying that the blonde idiot isn't Minato before he thought that Minato, although looks intimidating, can sometimes be an idiot. And he sometimes kinda agree to it.

While the couples are debating that the man in front of them is Minato, Uchiha Shisui feels that he is rather not here. For once. He takes a look at the newcomer and already had a thought that this guy is powerful. More powerful than him if he had to say, which he probably won't admit it in front of Itachi. The way that the man stands, his forms, and pose, he can feel it a surge of power radiates from him. He isn't a normal guy, he thought. This man screams danger and he has to tell everyone in the group. And so he turns towards Itachi from his left. And what he saw actually opposites from what he is seeing in Itachi's face.

Itachi, for some reason, has this fond smile on his lips. His eyes that always uninterested in now fills with recognition as he lays his eyes towards the man. Everything that Itachi's showing right now screams to him that Itachi clearly knows this man. Instantly Shisui looks at the blonde man. Who is this guy that makes his best friend so amuse?

The blonde man lets out a hum from his lips. Still, his eyes are closed. "Hmm... This is the first time that people mistook me as tou-chan." He said. As he opens his eyes, his blue orbs shine brightly and a large grin adorned his face. Shisui thoughts that he is facing a sun since the man shines when he smiles.

The man then puts his right thumb at himself. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto," he introduced himself. "And I am the Nanadaime Hokage. Nice to meet you!" His grins never falter from his face, still wide and intact.

And Itachi finds himself lost in the grins as he found himself smiling with him. What a crazy day this is.
