A/N (Spoilers): This story will be NarutoxSarada pairing but relax, this won't be set on Boruto, mostly because I hate Boruto, but I like some little things about it, Sarada is one of these things. This idea was in my head for about some time, and I decided to pull it out of the paper.
Disclaimer: This Story is based purely on MY interpretation of the series, movies, novels, etc so don't get bothered if someone is a little bit OOC. And this will be time travel, but it'll be set sometime before the start of Shippuden, well, I think that's all.

The Girl with Scarlet Eyes
Chapter 1: Foreign Time
.
.
Sarada had seen her world come crashing down - no, scratch that, she had seen her world disintegrate under her eyes. Everything was going so well, the relationship with her father had already improved, those weird aliens were no longer a problem.
Things were finally getting right... until this came along, she had already heard stories about Kaguya Ootsutsuki, about her divine power and etc... But she didn't expect that.
Alone, that being managed to snatch away almost everything that mattered to her or any of her precious people, Konoha the place she grew up is gone, everything she built is gone, gone...
And now she was here, kneeling and helpless, beside the body of her two teammates, Boruto and Mitsuki, both of whom had tried to face the goddess, but neither of them had managed to put even a scratch on that thing.
The only ones who proved capable of doing anything were her father, Sasuke Uchiha, who was currently using his Indra Susanoo, and the one who taught much of what Sarada knows, the Nanadaime Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, making the most of his Six Paths Sage Mode together with Kurama Avatar against that deity.
But even though his attacks were actually causing damage to Kaguya, they were something tiny, both of them were already tired...
Sasuke and Naruto then decided to give it their all in one last attack, Sasuke would use his Indra Arrow along with Naruto's Bijuudama-Rasenshuriken.
And currently, a shadow clone of the nanadaime was in front of Sarada, who looked at her with an apologetic look... for not being able to do anything to stop what happened to Konoha, but still, that look offered comfort and softened - even if only a little - Sarada's despair.
The Onyx-eyed girl directed her gaze to the ground, her three-tomoe Sharingan spinning rapidly, she was in pain, not only physical but mental, she was paralyzed on the ground, helpless, having been unable to save the one she loved... she was angry... her eyes hurt a lot right now at that moment, really.
Then she felt a hand carefully touch her face, and that hand was Naruto's, who had one of his Gudōdama (Truth-Seeking Ball) in front of him.
"Sasuke and I will take care of things here, but this last attack will end up destroying everything around it, so I'll transport you to a safe place, ok, just think of the place as far away from here as possible" The blonde said with a smile at her, and despite still having a dark look on her face, she nodded positively to the clone.
"Very well" he got up and started doing some hand signals: "Gudōdama: Jikū idō gijutsu! (Truth-Seeking Ball: Space-time transport technique)"
After performing the jutsu, Gudōdama expanded and then manifested around Sarada various symbols, such as hourglasses, compasses and stars that emitted a greenish light.
Naruto's clone then dissipated and Sarada turned her eyes to the skies, where the Battle was taking place.
Sasuke and Naruto had launched their respective attacks at the same time, which halfway through, collided, and merged into one, the Spiral Ashura-Indra Drill Bomb, which emitted a very strong Red and Gold light, being a lot bigger than Kurama's Avatar and Indra Susanoo.
And when the attack hit his target, Naruto's Jutsu took effect, and the moment it happened she only wished for one thing... she wanted to get away from there, she wanted to go back to before this had happened, before Kaguya, first of all... she wanted to be able to be close to the one she loved, she wanted to be at Naruto Uzumaki's side.
From there, only white was visible to Sarada's eyes, while the force of Naruto and Sasuke's combined attacks destroyed everything around.

Sarada moved lazily in her bed, she was surprised by the sound of her alarm clock, had her mother bought her a new one? Anyway after a few seconds lying down after turning off this alarm she got up suddenly, which caused her to fall off her bed, but she didn't care, what matters were the memories of a short time ago.
'Was that all… a dream?' She then snapped out of her stupor and decided to take a look around, this wasn't her room, no, it looked like some kind of inn judging by the simple, generic decor.
'The jutsu would work, it would transport me wherever I wanted… so where am I?' She then decided to find out the bed where she was and -was there anyone there?! The person's details weren't very visible, but it didn't appear to be someone very tall, wearing polka-dot pajamas along with a pointy beanie, and some messy blonde locks were visible as well.
Sarada narrowed her eyes and took one of her kunai out of her bag, keeping it firmly in her hand, and assuming a more defensive stance, but one that was ready to react.With that she slowly started around the bed, her Sharingan - which had been activated since she'd woken up - watching the stranger intently and focused.
And when she faced him her eyes widened, and she froze in place.'This is...' She was still holding the kunai, but her entire body was shaking, and she felt tears welling up in her eyes, it was Nanadaime! But... he wasn't who she knew, no... he looked to be 16 at most, the same age as her.
She ignored the footsteps in the hallway and the knocking on the door, as well as the voice of whoever was on the other side, she had a lot on her mind.
Jiraya -who was on the other side of the door-, was already starting to lose his temper, the boy must have woken up 10 minutes ago, and he didn't answer his knocks on the door, so he decided to open that door by force.
"Boy, I swear, if you're still in this bed I'm going to train you in a way that even Might Guy would think that is too heavy!" The white haired man said angrily as he slammed the door open.
However, his anger faded when he saw a strange girl in shock who still had a kunai pointed at her student. And faster than the eye could see, he soon immobilized her, snapping the girl out of her stupor, and then he saw the girl's eyes... 'This…this is the Mangekyou Sharingan…! She also has a Byakugou seal on her forehead...' The girl was trambling in front of the Toad Sennin, but not reacting. 'Who is this girl?'
The sage after a few seconds took the strange girl and make her follow him out of the room, to a place where he could interrogate her properly, reaching the outside of the inn where they were.
Sarada was scared, she knew very well from what she learned at the academy that Jiraiya was a force to be reckoned with, so she wouldn't be stupid to fight him, so she decided to cooperate with the man, who had a hard expression on his face.
"What's your name?" Jiraiya said bluntly.
"Sarada Uchiha"
"What village are you from?"
"Konoha"
This seemed to surprise Jiraya, but at the same time that the slightest expression of surprise appeared on his face, it disappeared right away.
"Are you a Konoichi?"
"Yea."
"Who sent you here?"
"Nobody."
"Why were you in my student's room?"
"I don't know."
The sage was thinking to himself, she seemed to be being honest, the Mangekyou had already disappeared from her eyes, and she had her hands behind her body, and her expression, despite showing fear, did not show dishonesty.
"How did you get to my student's room?"
"..."
Sarada didn't answer, keeping her gaze directed to the floor.
"Answer the question."
"You wouldn't believe..."
"Do the test."
Was this girl playing with him?
"I..."
The apprehension was almost palpable in his gaze: "I came from the future."
Sarada then waited for Jiraya's question, or some reaction, but it never came, she looked up, and saw the sage's still watchful gaze, with that she decided to continue.
"An disaster occurred where I came from, and the Nanadaime Hokage decided to send me far away, to a safe place, but I ended up here." She was confused, the memories of what had caused this disaster were fading in her mind, she didn't know why, but she was a little…thankful about it.
"You said the Nanadaime Hokage sent you here by accident, who is this?"
"Naruto Uzumaki."
Jiraya smiled to himself a little, if this girl was really telling the truth, the boy would have gotten there and fulfilled his dream. He after some seconds continued his interrogation.
"Are you loyal to the Hokage of your time?"
"Absolutely. I owe a lot of what I have to him... Hokage-Sama was always present in my life while I lived alone with my mother, he always protected me and everyone as hard as possible, always trying to keep the peace firm and strong. I would do anything for him and the village." The Onyx-eyed girl had a stubborn look on her face and almost… passionate?
'This girl is loyal to Konoha...but I wonder if there's anything greater than loyalty to the Hokage...'
"I think that's enough...if you're telling the truth, I'm sorry but I can't send it back," Jiraiya said as he started to make his way back inside the inn.
"I understand," Sarada said with her gaze getting darker. "But…where am I going? I don't have a place to go back to."
She was following the sage at a slightly slower pace.
"I don't know...but you should start creating a life story for now, also be careful not to reveal more details about where you came from or what will happen next."
'Maybe I could bring her along with us, she seems to be trustworthy ...'
But jiraya was taken out of his thoughts by the voice of a certain blonde. "Hey! Ero-sennin!"
Naruto Uzumaki appeared in front of Jiraya and Sarada, with his Orange jacket already on. "You forgot to wake me up! I was planning on training and -hey, who's that?"
Naruto asked pointing to Sarada who looked away in another direction.
"Well, Naruto this is Sarada Uchiha."
"Uh? And why is she here?" The said girl was kind of nervous now, she had thought of some things to create her fake story, but she had barely started raising her parents, let alone explaining how she got here.
"Hm, I decided to bring her along with us on our trip."
"Huh?!" The two teenagers said in unison, Sarada had a puzzled look on her face, did he just decide to do this out of nowhere?! How would he explain the reason for that!? Naruto would certainly suspect that and-
"Oh! That's it" Naruto then walked with a smile on his face to Sarada, a hand extended to her in friendship. "I hope we can be good friends!"
Sarada squeezed Naruto's hand with a stunned look on her face, this was the same Naruto of her time? the man who could wipe a village off the map in no time and the one who managed to keep peace among all nations? He didn't even suspect a bit?!
"Well, since you both already know each other, there's no reason to waste any more time, let's get back to our journey." The sage said turning around and making his way to collect his things.
"Okay Ero-sennin, let's go Sarada-Chan!" The girl nodded and Naruto soon started following his teacher.
'He called me Sarada-chan…' Sarada felt heat rising in her cheeks. 'No! You're not a stupid fangirl, stop acting like one now!'
After shaking her head a little, she soon started following the blonde, with something like a smile on her face. Even considering everything that went into getting her here... maybe that wasn't so bad... She just wanted to know if her family was ok.
English isn't my mother language just to make it clear.
Yeah, I bring back Kaguya, BUT, I promise that's just at this moment, I hate her plot twist more than anyone, but she was the best thing I imagined to make this, don't get scared, she won't appear or even be mentioned anymore on this fic.
