Enjoy the chapter everyone.
Naruko and Sasuke couldn't believe what they were seeing.
'Oh, dear what did we do?' Naruko and Sasuke thought at the same time.
They looked at the monument of the Hokage faces to see different faces and the village even looked different. Izuna was the second Hokage instead of Tobirama. The first and the third were still the same but there was someone else in the fourth spot. Not only that but there was no fifth Hokage like their original time.
"SASUKE!" an Uchiha ran toward Sasuke and Naruko felt him stiffen.
"Sasuke?" Naruko whispered softly only to see Sasuke look like he saw a ghost.
"Sasuke? Are you okay? You know your brother and father are looking for you for the Uchiha meeting, right?" Shisui asked with a friendly smile on his face.
"Shisui," Sasuke whispered as he slowly moved forward.
Naruko heard of him but she never met him. He was one of the ANBU from the past that protected her and that was the only thing she knew about him aside from hearing that he died a tragic death.
"Naruko?" Shisui said gesturing between the two of the teens. "What are you two doing out here alone?" Shisui asked with a smirk playing on his face.
"Shisui did you find him?" Itachi asked walking toward them casually.
"Yeah, and you won't believe who he was alone with," Shisui said with a smirk bouncing to his friend.
Naruko made brief eye contact with Sasuke that said I am still here with you. Sasuke was relieved because he really needed that. Sasuke couldn't believe that his family was alive and Itachi was still in the village spending his days with Shisui.
"Naruko? What are you doing here?" Itachi asked with a smile on his face as he looked at her which confused the two.
"Am I not supposed to be here?" Naruko asked tilting her head to the side.
"Well, we expected you to be with your father in the Whirlpool village helping out since a lot of people needed to be rescued from the surprise attack they tried to pull again," Shisui explained.
"Did you use the Flying Thunder God technique to get back here for Sasuke's birthday?" Itachi asked glad his friend was back because he needed someone to mess around with at the birthday party.
Naruko and Sasuke looked at each other shocked. This was too weird for them. First, they both find out that their parents are alive and well. Not only that but they changed who was going to be Hokage.
"Naruko what did we do?" Sasuke asked in a soft whisper.
"You can't ask me that," Naruko said softly back to him.
"What are you two talking about?" Shisui asked pulling the two apart.
"Are you two dating now?" Itachi questioned with a playful smirk on his face but he questioned what got the two so close seeing as the two barely ever spoke to each other.
Itachi knew he was why Naruko socialized with his family because they were partners and friends. They were friends ever since they got into the academy at an early age with each other.
The two flinched then blushed and pulled away from each other quickly. Naruko really didn't want anyone to think she was with Sasuke or even liked him.
'What is going on at this time and what are we were going to do now?' Naruko thought to herself a hand going on her chin.
"Naruko I will talk to you later I got to get going," Sasuke said pulling Shisui off Naruko and toward his brother.
"Okay," Naruko said thinking this would be a good time to explore herself.
"Meet me at the place like always," Sasuke said before disappearing.
"The same place?" Naruko thought to herself but choose to ignore it at the moment to be enticed to see the rest of the village.
What did they do was the only thing that kept coming to her mind. She walked around the village and there were no hateful glares like she used to get and it made her feel really weird.
"NARUKO!" a voice screamed for her making her turn around coming face to face with Minato her father.
"Dad," Naruko found out that she was the daughter of the fourth when she turned thirteen but seeing him in person made her understand more how much they looked alike.
"Why did you disappear? You know your mother isn't going to be happy," Minato said.
"How long was I gone?" Naruko asked.
"We have been searching for you for two weeks. I heard Sasuke Uchiha was gone for that long too. Were you with him?" Minato asked.
"I was," Naruko responded unsure of how to feel.
"Where did you two go?" Minato asked slightly annoyed because of course he didn't like the thought of his daughter being alone with a boy.
"Explored a different world," Naruko answered honestly. 'This is getting too weird for me.' Naruko thought to herself as she watched her father.
"Are you two together now?" Minato asked looking like he was leaking killer intent everywhere.
"By no means, he is..." Naruko said rubbing the back of her neck. "Just a friend," Naruko said.
Minato seemed shocked and he voiced it. "I have never seen you make that face before about anyone," Minato said as they walked more into the village.
They kept quiet for a while until Naruko realized they were heading toward a place she didn't recognize.
"Where are we going?" Naruko asked.
"Home of course," Minato said.
"Minato you know damn well that our daughter has her own place," Kushina said showing up behind both of them making both jumps up in shock and fear.
"Yeah but she seems a bit absent-minded and that scares me," Minato said rubbing the back of his head.
"You just don't want her to see the Uchiha again but you can't keep her cooped up in our house she will just leave again. We talked about this Minato you're overbearing on her." Kushina reprimanded.
"I don't mind," Naruko said with a smile that the two seemed confused about but Minato bounced back quickly happy to hear that.
Kushina didn't say anything but she followed the two all the way to their family home.
(Mindscape)
"Kurama where the hell are we?" Naruko asked in her head.
"Naru, I don't know honestly," Kurama said.
"I am freaked out but I... am happy," Naruko said.
"Naru... don't get too comfortable here we might get taken somewhere else," Kurama said.
"How do you know? Would if we changed the past and things would have been different if they didn't fight?" Naruko asked.
"I know but memories don't just disappear like that. If we really are meant to be here then memories from when we were in this time zone will pop up." Kurama said.
"Kurama? You look like you're fading." Naruko said.
"Naruko, I can't..." Kurama said disappearing from inside Naruko.
(Mindscape)
Naruko jumped and just as her parents were coming into the living room of their house where she was sitting, she jumped out the window. She couldn't do this. This just wasn't real. She ran all the way to Sasuke finding his chakra easily. She was curious about the surroundings but choose to ignore it at the moment.
"Father, I don't want to get married to the Haruno girl," Sasuke said thinking about the other pink-haired ninja from the other world.
Fugaku didn't even get to speak before Naruko flew into the window of the room they were in.
"Sasuke," Naruko said jumping into the house through the window and shocking the Uchiha that was in the room.
Everyone was shocked that she got into their house without them even knowing. Sasuke turned toward Naruko seeing the tears in her eyes.
"What happened?" Sasuke asked running to her with no hesitations dropping the fan that was in his hands.
"Kurama, he's gone." Naruko said.
"What?" Sasuke asked shock evident in his eyes.
"He's gone," Naruko said and just as Sasuke was about to talk again, she fainted.
"Why is the Namikaze daughter here?" Fugaku asked but Sasuke ignored him picking Naruko up and taking her away from everyone.
"Sasuke her chakra seems to be fading," Itachi said after he felt the wave of chakra entering their house knowing it was Naruko.
"Can you give me a minute?" Sasuke asked still not used to the fact that his family was living in the Uchiha district and the fact that all his family was alive.
He also still couldn't get used to his brother being around him. What the hell did they do in the past to change Konoha this much? But Sasuke just couldn't be mad at the thought of his brother being around again even with the turbulent history between the two.
Sasuke laid her on his bed and then used his eyes to get into her subconscious. He just needed to know what was going on and it needed to be in private so no one else knew what was going on in the world.
"Naruko?" Sasuke said.
"Sasuke he's gone," Naruko said crying on the floor of her brain.
"How?" Sasuke asked.
"I don't know maybe because at this time my parents didn't sacrifice themselves to put him in me," Naruko explained.
"Then where else could he be?" Sasuke asked.
"I don't know," Naruko whined.
"I will help you find him," Sasuke said. "You just got to wake up," Sasuke said.
"I don't want to be here without him." Naruko said shocking Sasuke.
He sat next to her and hugged her. "Naruko you have to choose and whatever it is I will go with you but I can't lie I am happy my family is back. But it seems that no matter what we do at this point it has to be done together." Sasuke said.
"For now, just help me find him. We will figure out the rest when he is found." Naruko said hugging Sasuke. "Especially because the last thing he said was that we weren't going to be here long," Naruko explained as she let him go.
They went quiet and both of them missed the little piece of Konoha that they knew before and the piece from the past that they traveled in. It was missed no matter if they didn't like the outcomes of before.
"I wonder if they remember us," Sasuke said.
"Kurama said they wouldn't," Naruko said.
"That's sad, don't they say that feelings can never be forgotten?" Sasuke asked.
"Feelings? That's it," Naruko said standing up.
"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked confused.
"People can't forget feelings ever even if your brain doesn't want to remember something. It's like someone getting into an accident not remembering the people they care for but remembering what they made them feel and feeling like something is missing. The body and the heart can't forget but the person's brain can." Naruko explained.
"Okay, but what does that have to do with what we're talking about?" Sasuke asked.
"The people here are going to notice we aren't the same as before. To be honest, I feel like we're in the wrong time loop and we can't go back to our original time loop without Kurama or we can damage something in my life." Naruko said.
"Do you think they can already tell?" Sasuke asked.
"Not everyone but I am sure someone notices because of the closeness of the bond we have or don't have with them," Naruko said.
"We will talk more about this when you wake up so wake up," Sasuke said leaving the space only to be back in his room with Itachi standing over them.
Sasuke jumped back and his eyes turned blood red for a split second before he calmed himself down.
"Tell me my little brother what is going on?" Itachi asked just as Naruko was waking up.
"Oh," Naruko said grabbing Sasuke's hand.
The room went silent and Itachi seemed to be losing his patience.
"I'm not going to let you two leave this room until you tell me what is going on with you both," Itachi said.
"Should we tell him? We still need to find Kurama and we don't know where to start." Naruko asked ignoring Itachi to talk to Sasuke which annoyed the older Uchiha.
"I don't know, do we tell him everything or do we just tell him a little bit?" Sasuke asked like Itachi wasn't there.
"Well, considering you just said that in front of me you should tell me everything," Itachi said.
"Oh yeah, you are still here. Sorry, I'm not used to you being around." Sasuke said slipping up thinking about the other life they lived.
"What are you talking about? I am always here for you." Itachi said.
"What he means to say is that he forgot you were in the room but as for that what do you really want to know?" Naruko covered.
"What is going on between you two?" Itachi started.
"We're lovers," Naruko answered flawlessly with the lie.
"I don't believe it," Itachi said without hesitation.
"And why the hell not?" Sasuke felt oddly offended.
"No offense to you little brother but you two barely talked before she came back from the Whirlpool village and when she was in the village before that you two didn't even talk. This is the first time I've ever seen you two even showing interest in each other let alone you two being lovers." Itachi explained.
"Could it be that we just fooled everyone making everyone think that we weren't together and didn't like each other?" Naruko stated making both brothers look at her.
"I still don't believe it," Itachi said feeling slightly jealous considering the two of them were friends and she never said not one word to him about it.
"Do you want us to prove it?" Naruko asked grabbing Sasuke's face.
"No, I believe you now. Who is this Kurama that you keep talking about? You never talked to me about him before why does it feel like you're hiding something from me?" Itachi asked looking directly at Naruko.
This was a question Naruko was unsure of answering because she didn't know why she would tell Itachi.
"Why would she talk to you about Kurama?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"Because if you must know little brother, she is my best friend and we happen to be ANBU partners," Itachi explained and everything went into the perspective of why Itachi was so nice earlier that day and why he seemed so surprised to see them together.
"Oh, how..." Sasuke started but stopped because he honestly didn't know what to say anymore looking at Naruko.
"Don't look at me I don't even know," Naruko said.
"Can you two tell me what is going on so I can at least help you?" Itachi asked.
"Fine sit down," Naruko said.
"Should we really be doing it here?" Sasuke asked.
"Good point, Itachi do you know where my apartment is or yours?" Naruko asked.
"Yes of course considering we're roommates," Itachi said.
"Well, take us there then," Naruko said.
Itachi did as she asked and they went to their apartment.
"Itachi honestly we're not from this time," Naruko answered right to the point.
"What do you mean?" Itachi asked.
"Well, she means that... we are from a different time frame," Sasuke answered.
"Are you saying you're from the future or something like that?" Itachi asked.
"I wouldn't say the future considering I think we changed that after we went to the past," Naruko said rubbing the back of her neck.
"What are you talking about?" Itachi asked.
"Well... I am going to just say it like this we went back to the past and met the founders and divulged a little information. Can you tell us how Izuna became the second Hokage?" Naruko asked.
"You had the highest grades in class Naru how don't you know?" Itachi asked.
"Because this isn't my time and I'm not the Naruko that is close to you. But... I must say that I am glad I have such a good friend at this time that looks out for me the way you are because I never had that type of friend aside from Kurama who I need to find," Naruko said.
"Who is Kurama?" Itachi asked as he sat next to her focusing on Naruko.
"Do you think we can leave it alone for now?" Naruko asked pain clearly on her face.
"Yeah, what do you need my help with?" Itachi asked grabbing her hand.
"Do you know where the nine tails fox is?" Naruko asked.
"From the legends that have talked about him is that he is near the outside of Konoha in the Forest of Death but no one sees him," Itachi said softly.
"Can... thank you Itachi," Naruko said hugging him.
Sasuke didn't like it but didn't say anything he was shocked to see Itachi blush brightly.
"We have to go," Naruko said with a smile standing up and getting ready to go.
"Wait..." Itachi said grabbing her hand and pulling her back to him to kiss him. "Since she probably won't remember anyway," Itachi said as he pulled away. "I'm sorry for suddenly doing this but I love her," Itachi said shocking both of them.
"Your sweet but I am not the person... ah... I get it I hope she finds out your real feelings for her when we change it back," Naruko said gently rubbing his face.
"Thank you," Itachi said.
"Okay we can go now," Sasuke said annoyed pulling Naruko out of the room and going through the window.
"Let's head to the Forest of Death," Naruko said using the flying thunder jitsu right to the Forest of Death.
"Where are we going to check?" Sasuke asked.
"That way," Naruko said heading the way she felt Kurama's chakra.
"NARUKO WAIT!" Sasuke screamed as he chased her.
"KURAMA!" Naruko screamed.
The nine-tailed fox lifted his head as he heard Naruko and started moving toward her.
"NARUKO!" Kurama called to her.
"Kurama," Naruko said as the fox ran right to her.
"I am so glad you're okay," Kurama said rubbing against her.
"You too," Naruko said hugging him.
"We need to get out of here," Kurama said.
"But I don't want to leave," Sasuke said.
"Listen little Uchiha we aren't meant for this time," Kurama said.
"What were you trying to say?" Naruko asked.
"The time-space thing is here and I have been looking for it since we split from each other," Kurama said.
"But what were you trying to tell me?" Naruko asked as she got on top of him.
"This isn't our time which means we're going to eventually erase from this time-space," Kurama said. "Now little Uchiha get your ass on top of me so we can get out of here," Kurama snapped.
Sasuke didn't want to but he did as he was asked. Naruko grabbed his hand feeling bad for him because she knew how much it meant for him to have his family around.
"Thank you," Sasuke said his voice sad.
Naruko gave him a soft smile before she felt chakra that she could only recognize as Itachi who seemed to have followed them. He waved to her and gave her what seemed to be a smirk then he vanished in his crows.
"Wait for a second," Naruko whispered to herself.
"We're leaving," Kurama said not listening to his blonde companion.
That was the oddest thing she has ever felt considering there were two different chakra lines coming from Itachi but she didn't say anything and continued to let Kurama move through timelines. She couldn't explain it then but she planned to figure it out later.
"You felt that?" Sasuke asked looking around.
"It feels like someone is following us in the timelines," Kurama said.
"Who could it be?" Naruko asked.
"Who knows," Kurama said speeding up and then shifting so he could be inside Naruko only as they were landing into another timeline.
Naruko and Sasuke both fell out of the sky and onto the floor with Sasuke landing on his back and Naruko landing on top of him. He wasn't happy about being landed on but he didn't mind her weight on top of him.
"Where are we now?" Sasuke gasped out.
"Who knows," Naruko groaned out trying to open her eyes. "Kurama, do you know?" Naruko asked.
"Not a clue," Kurama said.
The two stood up and started walking out of the forest only to come to find out where they were now.
"Sasuke, I swear if we are in another timeline, we have to stick together this time in case we have to switch again," Naruko said.
"I agree," Sasuke said but it was so eerie quiet that it unnerved them both.
Naruko was walking forward and found that they were once again in Konoha they looked straight at the monuments to see that only one Hokage was changed and they were on the fifth Hokage which was Tsunade.
"Why is Izuna still the second Hokage?" Naruko asked confused knowing it should be Tobirama.
That was when it hit them like a freight train. Memory after the memory was hitting them and kept going like a bunch of shadow clones. The two collapsed and as they did Naruko fell right into someone's hands while Sasuke fell onto the ground.
"Why..." Naruko said as she looked up at the person.
The person picked her up then made a shadow clone and picked up Sasuke sitting them on the side of the forest hidden behind a tree. The person looked at Naruko and smiled but you couldn't see anything behind the mask.
The person stood up pulling off the mask and headband revealing the white wild hair and the red eyes anyone would know of.
It was Tobirama.
