Chapter 5: Long Night

After they talked at the training ground, Naruto realizing that he was in the past, had a lot on his thoughts, and so he shunshin'd to the hokage's head. Naruto sat at the Yondaime's head thinking about the situation. He had time to think and remembered the things that had happen in the past. Memories which he stored behind his mind.

The Villagers looking at him in contempt, the years in the academy ,the Chuunin exams, the training trip with Ero-Sennin, Him trying to save Sasuke only to be rejected. Hard. His training with the toads, The death of Jiraiya, The invasion of Pein, the Villagers now looking at him with earned respect and admiration after him saving the day, his training with Killer B, the fourth Shinobi war, the mission on the moon and him finally being Hokage, his dream for so long. He shed tears as he realized he had to live through all of that again. His people going through that pain again. Can he really do that again, the second time?

"Hey" someone whispered behind him. Naruto looked behind him and found out it was Sakura, which beside her was Sasuke.

"Hey guys.. Why are you here?" Naruto said to her while wiping his tears

"You always go here after something happens. Even after you became Hokage. Though It isn't exactly a secret since Sasuke can see you when he goes and look out the window" Sakura said to him to which he just stared at the village

"Do you think... you could live through all of that again? All the stuff we've seen?"

"Ahh, it's that... " Sasuke said which elicited a look from Naruto. Sasuke sat down next to Naruto with Sakura besides him

"I'm gonna be completely open and honest here Naruto. It's a bitch to live through stuff again." Sasuke said in an all out serious manner

Naruto blinked at Sasuke "After our fight in the Valley of the End, after being accepted back into the village... All the things I've done while with Orochimaru always crept back in my mind." Sasuke said to Naruto who which just listened intently

"I've been haunted with nightmares a good few years of my life. But it's all thank to your meddling that made me forget all of it. All of the talks we had, it was ... good. And now I'm offering the same to you"

Naruto blinked while he thought about the words Sasuke said. Then his face turned into a foxy grin "Thanks Sasuke. Though I'm surprised, because that's the longest sentence you said in ever"

"Hn, trying to help, Dobe"

"But seriously, thanks for being with me guys. It's always great to have you with me"

"As always Naruto" Sakura said to him with a smile. Together they stared at the village throughout the night


Kakashi walked the streets with intense anxiousness and curiousity. He was back in the past. The past! Which meant some things. Gai, Asuma and Kurenai were in one word, alive. He remembered each of their deaths as though it was yesterday. Especially Gai.

"Kakashi, go to Naruto, I'll stop them!" Gai said to them when he saw the invaders

"But, you can't even fight properly remember?! Your legs!"

"No my eternal rival, my youth will prevail all things. I still have my arms and I will protect Konoha until my death! Now go! We have no time to argue!" Gai said while going on his Good Guy pose. Kakashi just nodded knowing how hard it'll be to convince his friend other wise.

The last thing he saw was Gai's death as one of the invaders stabbed Gai in the back, thus the life of Konoha's Maito Gai, the Green Beast ended with his heroic sacrifice.

Kakashi stopped his tracks. He felt like vomitting. One of his long time friends. Dead. But now they were in the past. And damn it! He won't let that happen again! He stopped in front of a bar he knew and stepped in.

"Ah! My Eternal Rival! You have come! Sit, sit! Asuma and Kurenai were just talking about their teams!" Gai said smiling to Kakashi as he noticed him enter. Kurenai and Asuma where sitting next to Gai when they noticed Kakashi enter and waved a hand at him

He blinked and blinked hard. Here it was, his friends, his comrades of war. He just smiled. Because right now, at least,he would atleast erase the mistakes of the future

"Hmm, did you say something?" Kakashi said to Gai as he pulled out Icha-Icha Paradise, but behind the book. One Kakashi was smiling, smiling warmly for his friends.


Naruto, after the moment in the hokage's monument, decides to walk home, exactly the time when he knew less villagers were walking the road home. It was hard getting used to it again, but it would be a good couple of years before he'll get the respect he deserves.

As Naruto was walking the road home, he saw a figure down the path he was walking, he though the figure was familiar and so he tried to catch up with it before recognizing it as Hinata.

Hinata, walking home from training, was thinking hard about a certain cute little boy. A boy he admired so much. She imagined life with him and if possible... a family. Hinata blushed a dark red.

His eyes widened as the last memory of her surfaced on his mind. Back at the invasion. But here she was, a cute little 12 year old! Oh, how he'll love to squueze her cute little cheeks. It wouldn't be bad to change the past a little bit, right?

"Good evening, Hinata-chan!" He said to the unsuspecting Hyuuga

"N-Naruto - Kun?!"

Hinata surprised that Naruto suddenly talked behind her back suddenly tripped backwards which ,Naruto who saw her falling, caught her. They looked in each others eyes. When they realized what they were doing Naruto blushed a hard red and Hinata, the poor girl, over ventilated and well... passed out.

Naruto, who realized that the girl passed out, just laughed and carry her bridal style , while avoiding the villagers, to his house. It would be fun seeing Hinata fuuming with embarrasement when he realized she was laying on his bed! Ahh, there were some good things for time travel.

But then he remembered the state of his apartment. So he embarrasingly settled with the rooftop. He reached the rooftop and lay her down while he sat and positioned himself so her head is laying on his lap. He ran her hand through her hair while he remembered the last loving moment they spent

It was a rare day-off for both Hinata and Naruto. For the first time, there were no paper work and no issues, so he called for a day off and for Hinata, she managed to free off a day from her daily schedule. With no Boruto because he had trained with Sasuke outside the village and Himawari wad staying at the Hyuuga compound, the two couple did what they wanted to do for a long time.

Rest.

"Ahh, rest! Nothing like a good day's rest with a beautiful wife!" Said Naruto while he sat at the couch

Hinata, hearing that, blushed a very hard red, which Naruto noticed. He grins

"Dear, do you like to sit at my lap?" Naruto said in a grin. Hinata's blush goes redder as her eyes widened

"E-eh!? B-But w-why d-dear?"

"Is it bad for a husband to be close with her wife-ttebayo?" Naruto said grinning while a light pink blush was on the blond's cheek

"A-alright, but because your my h-husband!"

Hinata timidly went to her husband and sat at his lap, which Naruto, the mischevious man that he is, suddenly hugged her and put his face at the crook of her neck.

"Naruto that tickles!" Hinata laughed as they played around which ended in a position which they were facing each other while laying down.

"Hinata?"

"Yes, dear?"

"Thank you for being with me" said Naruto as he slowly smiled warmly

"No, thank you. For loving me Naruto. For being the best person that you can be. " Hinata said as she kissed the unsuspecting blonde. Naruto surprised, accepted and returned the kiss.

He looked down to look at Hinata. At her lips. It was looking... appetizing, but he restrained himself. He notices Hinata stirring from her nap

Hinata woke up looking at the stars, then she looked left and saw a handsome blonde she knew that was her crush. 'This must be a dream' she thought as she reached out to feel Naruto. When she felt the warmness and how squishy Naruto's cheek was, she realized what the situation really was

"Eep! N-N-Naruto-kun?!" Hinata said while she jumped from her position, at her surprise

"The one and only!" Naruto said grinning widely

"W-w-what happened?"

"You, uhhh, passed out" Naruto said sheepishly as he knew why. It was pretty obvious. So obvious that he was questioning why didn't he saw it before.

Hinata, in all of her power, tried to not pass out again, lest she get embarrased in front of Naruto again.

"I-I'm s-sorry f-for b-being an i-inconvenience!"

Naruto blinked at what Hinata said, then he laughed. Hinata just stared at the boy at pure confusion

"Don't worry, Hinata-chan! You're not an inconvenience in any way possible! So don't let anyone say that-dattebayo!"

Hinata just blushed at the blonde's words while the blonde, was blushing lightly at the sight of his to-be wife

Hinata then realized the fact that they were alone tonight. Which meant privacy. Which meant something would happen. She became nervous again at the thought of them being alone together.

Naruto only smiled warmly at the girl in front of him. Inside he was missing the girl so hard, yet he stopped himself from tackling the poor girl. So when he looked at Hinata, he had a plan. A plan that'll be good for the both of them

Naruto, who, the confident and brave man he was, wanted to change the past in a way that'll affect his young life in so many ways possible

"Hey, Hinata, I have a question for you?"

"Y-yes, Naruto-kun?" Hinata said trying to look at the blonde

"Would you like to go on a date with me?"

Hinata, passed out from hyperventilation, and dizziness


"It was confirmed, Hokage-sama"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama"

Hiruzen pinched the bridge of his nose. This'll take a while to process. He can feel a headache coming already.

"Alright, I want sensors to investigate the scene today and try to find who the chakra belongs to. Or what" said Hiruzen sternly

"Yes, Hokage-sama" Said the ANBU before leaving in a swirl of leaves.

Hiruzen took the report the ANBU left at his desk and read it again.

At 10:50AM, inept chakra sensors were able to pick up a faint chakra that seemed to be coming from the training grounds

It was said that the chakra felt "life-giving" and "so bright". It was concluded that these chakra was imbued with life force.

The chakra was locatedat Training ground 7 by one chuunin from the Sensory team.

"Training ground 7" Hiruzend raised his brow at the word. Then he realized something

"Team 7?" Hiruzen said as he frowned at the thought. It would be the only answer but a chakra that was imbued with life force? He doesn't know anyone that fills the description

But, there was a nagging thought inside him. A possibilty. An impossible one. But, stil...

"Neko, summon Jiraiya. I might need him for a situation."


And that's that! The plot thickens! HAHAHA! Oh I have so many plans! Here's a little hint! or fact that I want for my fanfic. The summons know! I'll leave you with that info! Anyways thanks for reading and I'll probably have the other chapter tonight. I just need to smooth it out more! HAHAHA!
