Autor notes: first of all, i must apologize for the tardiness of this chapter, i got the "legend of zelda, the minish cap" as a present, and all my spare time had been spent in playing it. If anyone is cares, is a Great game.
now, I'm going to comment the reviews. 8 reviews for a chapter. Really, I don't deserve them!!!
ErikKoekkoek: true, short, and long updates... I update when i can, really, and about the short chapters, I'll try to make them longer, I promise. all chapters (except the first, i believe are 1000 words) I'm afraid that this chapter is roughly tyhe same lenght than the others. sorry.
Cyberwing: Sakura had always been mean, really, if you look at the manga, she's mean to everyone, she's only nice to sasuke, she hits naruto repeteadly, calls Lee a freak, and we won't speak about her relationship with Ino...
Daniel of Lorien: we already knew that right?in the manga she would have willingy betrayed the leaf for sasuke. IMHO,altough nice that is only about a little bit better than what sasuke did.
gopu: thanks
Jaques Rico: did Tsunade want to be hokage? no. was Tsunade the strongest in the leaf? a reluctant no. I believe jiraya is stronger than her. But she was elected the hokage. (I admit it was after jiraya refused) I think it isn't about being the strongest, is about being the best. let me put it this way. who would you elect as the hokage, Naruto (arguably the strongest genin) or shikamaru? who would make the best hokage? who would lead better the leaf? I think the answer is obvious
Scorpio V1.2: Yes, she had a legitimate reason. about the latter, whe willl see. But is obvious in this chapter that she distrusts her.
Unmortem: me!!! I'm the mastermind behind this fic... (evil laugh)
Sojourn : thank you.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto he belongs to Hinata.
Real Disclaimer: Naruto belongs To Kishimoto Masashi I only do this for fun!.
Now to the history:
ANOTHER WORLD: CHAPTER 7
She had her rival in front of her. in the range of her divination. She could closer her tenketsus, and she would have been dead in less that it would took her body to fall to the floor.
It was strange tought, the expression in Sakura's face was different from the one she remembered.
The sakura she remembered, rarely did smile, only around Naruto, and knowing about her true nature, she suspected that those weren't genuine smiles.
Now she was smiling. It made hinata uneasy. Even after discovering her identity as a sound spy she and Sakura weren't very fond of each other.
Sakura said: Hi, Hinata, I will be your new assistant!!!!
that wasn't unusual, Sakura being nice to me in front of Naruto. In the other timeline, tough, when they were alone, she would be downright rude an insulting.
Hinata didn't say anything, so Sakura took it as a go ahead. what happened next, was something unexpected, Naruto Shouted "HEY SAKURA-CHAN!!!", that wasn't the unexpected part, it was Sakura reaction. She punched his head. "Shut up!!! I'm trying to have a conversation with Hokage-sama!!!"
She stood there dumbfounded.In the other timeline Sakura would NEVER punch Naruto, Instead, after one of his famous 'SAKURA-CHAN' she would smile at him, and frequently kiss him.
She stood there looking at the unfamiliar sight, her killing intent long forggoten,
It was something she should have expected, really, If she was Naruto's wife (oh, how she loved that idea) It was probable that Naruto wasn't married to Sakura. Last time she checked, bigamy was still ilegal.
and then, if Sakura wasn't married to Naruto, It was somewhat unlikely that she was getting kiss--- Err.. village secrets from Naruto. Not that Naruto would know them, he wasn't the Hokage. It was clear. That was the answer to the question. Sakura wasn't pursuing Naruto, because he wasn't the hokage, therefore she couldn't get secrets from him.
She narrowed her eyes. How could she get information to the Sound, then? being the Hokage assistant perhaps??? It made sense. Sakura would never chain herself to a desk without a powerful reason. And she wasn't making the same mistake as before. This time, she would get proof, and the bitch would get a very unpleasant chat with Morino Ibiki, the Konoha's head interrogator.
She glared at Sakura, and now, she wasn't masking her killer intent... who surprisingly flinched, she looked back at her like a trapped animal. "heh... Hinata... Really, the punch didn't hurt him... It's only to make him behave, ne??".
Another surprise, Sakura feared her? and it looked that it wasn't for her hokage status. perhaps for her power? the tought that she could made full fledged shinobi's tremble with fear with an angry glare was farfetched. Was she supposed to be that strong? the Hokage is supposed to be the best ninja in the village, but best wasn't always the same as strongest. If you looked at it, Jiraya was stronger than Tsunade, but she was Hokage, and the perverted old man wasn't. She smiled at Sakura, and dismissed her fears. It would do no good to antagonize her before she had proof. Oh, yeah, revenge was a dish better served cold.
she then directed Sakura to Tsunade's desk,which hold a mountain of paperwork.She smiled inwardly when sakura flinched for the second time in a few minutes, seeing the extent of the paperwork in her new desk.
she excused herself from the people in the room, and pushed a button hidden in the next room. (the fact that she didn't remember a button being in there was something she would have to think about later).
An Anbu appeared in front of her in a puff of smoke. He was wearing the traditional Ambu outfit,and a bird mask. She recognized him instantly. Neji. She could give the work to him.
"Neji, as you probably know, I have sakura as new assistant, I need you to follow her, and do a perfect background check on her. we must know were her loyalties lie."
the fact that her voice was firm and in command didn't seem to surprise Neji, but it was interesting to her. In this point of the day, few things would still surprise her anymore, and not something as small as being able to speak in a commanding tone to someone.
Neji, even behind his mask,managed to show the surprise the Hokage's request created, but after a little unconfortable silence, he nodded.
"following and testing Sakura loyalties, Got it."
and with a puff of smoke he disappeared. She then decided something, and runned to the stairways, to the underground levels of the administrative building. To konoha's archives.
Konoha's shinobi archives. one of the most secret and guarded parts of Konoha's. the archives contained basically, all classified and top secret material,in no particular order of importance, nearly all of konoha's Forbidden jutsus, codes, Shinobi registers, Konoha history, tremenduous powerful artifacts,old mission reports. All events from the creation of konoha to today were stored in there... there was also a lot of dust.
It was a whole floor of the Konoha administrative buiding, to be more precise three floors underground, and to access there, she had to pass a lot of Anbu guards, and avoid a lot of mortal traps. the last of them who would trigger (apart of her inmmediate death) some katon jutsus which would destroy the archives if they got compromised.
Not anyone could get the permission to access the Konoha's archives.Nope, they needed permission from the Hokage or the council. And if someone got permission, that person would be accomppained always by two loyal shinobi who wouldn't . She didn't got company thought, being hokage came in handy.
She was exploring the shinobi registry list section, looking for a letter. especifically the 'U', she was searching for the Uzumaki clan entry in the shinobi registry and it wasn't there. No Uzumaki entry. Odd, That only implied one thing. Naruto had changed his name. It made sense, really. It was the standard procedure when anyone married a clan heir. She felt kind of sad. she liked the ring that Uzumaki Hinata had, In some of her younger daydreams, she often fantasied with that name, repetating it over and over.in the morning when Naruto dressed, he was wearing the Hyuuga family crest in his back. That meant that his profile was probably next to hers at the 'H' with the other hyuuga's. The tought of Naruto changing his name was out of character for him, he always was shouting his "I'm Uzumaki Naruto, and i'm going to be hokage". It was hard to envision Naruto wanting to change his name, he tried so hard to have the village acknowledge his existence...
she looked at the 'U' files again. In the other timeline, that entry wasn't going to be there. That clan didn't exist anymore,but this time she expected finding the entry. it was the Uchiha clan entry.
Obviously, what she didn't expect was the size of the entry. The box was BIG. she opened the box with the Uchiha symbol, and found inside two boxes in it, one smaller, and one much bigger. In black bold capital letters the boxes had printed what they contained. the bigger one, had "Uchiha branch family" while the smaller one had "Uchiha main family". Hinata frowned. did they not get rid of the bigger box? after the uchiha massacre, they didn't even have enough members to equal to some of the smallest clans.
she looked at the bigger box. Why didn't got rid of it? Konoha's archives were supposed to be always up to date. She sepparated the bigger box, making a mental check to throw it away when she got out.
A sudden impulse stopped her. She slowly opend the box. It should be empty, but, it was no harm in checking, right?
Ans it was not empty. nearly empty, but not empty. There were two books in the box. Strangely enough, two shinobis claimed to be in the Uchiha branch family. A new mistery. she got the biggest book, his covers had black leather.
It was a Shinobi registry book, nothing out of the ordinary. All of the shinobi achievements, missions, biography, known Jutsus,medical history, Bloodline.... Every bit of information that konoha had on a particular shinobi was there. It was a really thick book. A book that in the other timeline wouldn't be there.It was a thick book with the name Uchiha Sasuke in its cover.
She opened the book. It would be a long read.
