Ino Yamanaka pt 1

Hinata looked at her blond friend and said" Ino your turn."

The blue-eyed beauty was nervous what if she didn't like what she was going to discovered she knew that she was going to have someone in the future but what if he wasn't what she wanted having no choice she gathered herself and did what she had to do.

They saw what many knew to be the Yamanaka Head house.

The head of the clan had been living there since the village was created and the clan joined Hashirama.

While many things were the same as they were right now somethings had changed over the years like the fact there were more flowers in every corner of the room they were at and the fact that the walls were covered with beautiful drawings many of them had the members of Konoha 12 in them.

"Interesting," said Sai looking at the view

"What?" asked Ino while she looked at the young man while he looked like Sasuke there was something in him that made her want to protect him and trust him to protect her at the same time she couldn't understand why.

Black eyes turned towards blue and they both found themselves being sucked into the other's eyes Sai was the first to break free thanks to the years of training he had gone through and said" Well Beautiful" he stopped when he saw her blush and the future Hinata chuckled" What did I say something wrong?"

"N-no," stuttered Ino who then blushed even more at the cute look, the black-haired young boy was giving her" It's just that no one has ever called me that." she saw the look in both her dad's and friend's face and continued" What did you find interesting about the house?"

"Oh, right the drawings in your walls whoever draw them was very talented actually they are one of the best I have ever seen."

"You draw?" asked Ino leaning a bit towards the guy, she didn't know why

"Yeah, it kind of relates to my powers Beautiful." Ino blushed again she couldn't help it with this boy

A little boy with light blond shoulder-length hair which he had in a small ponytail and pale white skin a color that could've been considered unhealthy he wore black PJs and they couldn't see his eyes which were concentrated on the piece of paper in front of him. He was surrounded by crumbled pieces of paper as well as different coloring books all of them clearly hand-made and already colored to perfection.

"Oh, he's so cute," said Ino while looking at him with eyes full of curiosity" Who is he?" Hinata didn't answer she just smiled at her friend

"Inojin," said a voice from the door behind the boy" Inojin Yamanaka where are your young man." the voice turned out to belong to Ino and she hadn't changed much since the last time they had seen her.

"Hi mommy." said the little boy turning his beautiful blue eyes so similar to his mother towards the woman in question

Ino had a shocked look on her face her eyes wide and her mouth wide open that cute little boy with those big eyes and that infectious smile was her son she couldn't believe it.

Her father was feeling the same way as he looked at his grandson.

Ino smiled as she looked at her smiling son while many thought, he looked like her all she could see was her husband in him despite her coloring.

"What are you doing baby?" Ino asked as she lowered herself on the ground next to her only child

The little boy raised his head which he had lowered again to look at his mother" Daddy is coming home from his mission today." while he wasn't asking, he knew his parents' schedule better than her she still nodded" so I'm doing this drawing for daddy to give to him." showing his mother what he was doing

Ino looked at the piece of paper her son was showing her and she couldn't help but smile while her son was better at drawing than most children his age, he was nowhere near the level of his father something that he hated being pointed out.

"He's really talented," said Inoichi looking at his grandson he was in love and he thought it would be impossible for him to love anyone more then he loved his daughter

"Yeah, he is," said Ino as she looked at her son with stars in her eyes, she loved that boy and she had never met him

Sai meanwhile was looking at both the blond next to him and the little baby on the screen, he didn't know why but he was feeling something he had never felt before.

"I know it's not as good as daddy's but do you think he will like it?" asked Inojin looking at his mother with doubt on his face

"Of course, he will he love everything you give him," said Ino thought the boy didn't look like he believed her at that moment not that she blamed him her husband wasn't the best at expressing emotions she blamed the Root for it because it wasn't his fault and the man was trying and had improved a lot over the years

While the boy continued to draw and Ino continued to look at him like he was the best thing in the world.

Suddenly her son said something that made Ino's heart stop for a second" Mom is dad really my dad."

Ino didn't know what to say she didn't know who gave her son that stupid idea" Why do you ask that?"

Ino was looking at Hinata hoping that her future son was just going through a phase and she didn't do something that she had sworn she would never do.

"That's not right. Right?" asked Ino as she looked at the woman from the future

"No, he really is your husband's son he's just going through something." Ino breathed a sigh of relief

"Then why did he ask that?" asked Ino's father ready to defend his daughter's honor if needed

"Well, he went through somethings during his childhood so he isn't great at expressing emotions and Inojin hadn't learned to read him yet."

'What did he go through?" asked Ino like he was afraid of what would learn the woman from the future didn't answer

"Some people from my school say that it's impossible for him to be my father and that my real father is Uncle Sasuke that's why dad doesn't show emotions towards me because he knows." the boy turned his wide eyes towards his mother and said with a cracked voice" Please tell me it isn't true."

Ino looked her son in the eye and said" Tell me Inojin what do you see when you see the drawings that we have around our house."

The little boy looked around not understanding what his mom was saying" They are drawing of my aunts and uncles what does it have to do with anything."

"Who are the most featured people in those drawings?" she asked again wanting to explain to her son the problem his dad had without going towards something that she didn't want to remember but knowing it was impossible

"Me and you." said the boy looking very proud of himself" again mommy what does it have to do with everything."

"I'm trying to delay it," said Ino as she looked at her future self, she knew that tactic very well" Why?" she looked at the future woman daring her not to answer

The older woman sighed and answered," Your husband's past is not something either of you wanted your children to ever know but don't ask me to elaborate it's not my place to tell."

While both father and daughter were curious, they decided not to interrupt.

Ino sighed she knew she had no choice but to tell him the truth or at least as much of the truth as his young mind could deal with" Tell me something else Inojin do you remember the story of how I and your dad met?"

"Yeah, dad was added to Uncle Kakashi's team as a replacement for uncle Sasuke when he left without telling anyone."

"You know that he just described going rouge, right?" asked Shikaku as he looked at the woman

"Yeah, I know. Sasuke defected from Konoha so that he could acquire the strength needed to exact his revenge for what happened to his Clan and didn't return until the Fourth Shinobi war."

"Why that long I don't think it would take that much?" said Itachi

"You know you are much better than Sasuke and it doesn't take that much for Sasuke he just then discovered what you really did and turned his revenge towards something else."

At that Hashirama said," Are you sure you should trust him in the village because from what I gathered the next target would've been the village."

"Yeah, you shouldn't trust an Uchiha that much."

Minato glared at the man family or not he wouldn't allow anyone to smear over the people he loved" I'm sorry Lord Second but while I didn't like many members of said Clan, I have put my life in the hands of a couple of them and I would still trust them." the Creator turned his glare towards the younger man who had said that for some reason that boy reminded him of someone through he couldn't put his finger as to whom

"Yes, we are very sure he is loyal to the village he just was blinded by revenge something he no longer feels for the village where he has a family," said Hinata not wanting to anger her father-in-law more than he already was

Before they could start watching Mito leaned towards her brother-in-law and said," That boy reminds me a lot of Hashirama in his ideals, doesn't he?" the white-haired man was shocked now that the woman mentioned it, yes, the younger man reminded him of his older brother

"Yes, that's right he was part of the team even after Sasuke returned."

"Yeah, and you liked Daddy before he liked you and then daddy went to a dangerous mission where the bad guy brainwashed him and he almost died and you were the one that used our clan's abilities to bring him back." said the boy he knew that word for word he loved that his mom was such a strong woman and his dad was so proud of everything his wife did

"The reason your father was so affected by that mind control and why he has problems with emotions is because he grew up inside the ROOT."

"What," said Sai and Shin while Danzō didn't look very happy with what was being revealed

Everyone turned towards the two brothers who had to make that shocking sound and Ino most of all wanted to know what was going on with the man, she was going to marry.

The blond young woman walked towards the black-haired man and moved closer to him than was appropriate and said" Tell me what do you know?" the eyes narrowed and with a fire in them that was both scary and somewhat addicting to the member of the ROOT

When the black-eyed man didn't answer Ino became even angrier and was about to say something when the other boy interrupted her" He can't speak about that."

"What?" everyone turned towards the other boy and Danzō was glaring at him daring him to say anything but he forgot something Shin was dead and he had nothing to lose and if people knowing about that would save his brother, he would bring the entire thing crashing down

"Members of the ROOT cannot talk about the ROOT or the man that leads it because of a cursed seal on their tongue." to prove a point Sai stuck his tongue out showing the seal

"Then why can you talk about it?" asked Minato very interested in what was going on and having a feeling who was this leader

"Because he's dead it doesn't affect him," said Hinata" but if someone who has it speaks about anything incriminating related to the leader or Root, their entire body will be paralyzed, taking away their ability to speak or move."

"So, what's that?" asked Hashirama dreading the answer the woman pointed towards the future they were seeing

"Isn't the ROOT like a worse version of ANBU," said Inojin that's how it had been described in his lessons

"Yeah, something like that but you know that ANBUs are taught to control their emotions when they are on one mission" the little boy nodded" Well people who grew up inside the Root learned to do that every moment of their life."

"So, your dad loves you very much trust me he just doesn't know how to tell you that. The only way he knows how to express his emotions is by drawings why do you think we still are the only people he uses as models."

The blue-eyed boy nodded that simple explanation made sense in his young and innocent mind without the need for too much information he just needed to know his father loved him" Was dad's brother there too?" he had never met the man but had seen many drawing his father had done of him and he could easily recognize him even though his dad rarely talked about his deceased brother.

"Yes, he was. You know your uncle would've loved you," said Ino even though she didn't know if it was true, she had never discussed it with her husband afraid of opening old wounds that she had tried to heal since she went inside his mind that fateful day and realized she loved the emotionless man.

"Really," the boy's eyes brightened more than she thought possible as he smiled and then he jumped up" I need to make a new drawing to show it to him, he liked dad's maybe he will like mine too." as he said that he runs out of the room leaving what he was doing behind

The Kage's both dead and alive turned towards her and said" Now can you explain to us what is ROOT because that didn't tell us anything." she had no other choice though she didn't want to do it
