Within one of the meeting room in Haruna's castle, there were two sides sitting on opposite side of the single room's table. One side composed of Naruto and the other being Kakashi, Iruka, and Yamoto. Haruna was also there but she was overseeing this meeting thus she was on neither side.
At least she wanted that to be the case as she wanted Naruto to stay here with her this time around. However she did not want him to become a missing nin because of this as there would be only so much she could do that point. Even as leader of her own country there were many things she was not capable of doing. Although now was not the time for such thoughts as she had to deal with the matter at hand. Everything else could be dealt with afterwards.
"Well this is what you wanted right" she said looking over at Kakashi's group.
A bump from Yamoto got Kakashi's attention as seeing Rin again in person was more shocking then he thought it would be. The say a picture is worth a thousand words but something seeing something yourself with your own eyes was beyond words. She did not seem to see him as he hid himself before that could happen. Judging from how shocked she was over seeing Iruka so he did not want to think about how her seeing him would be.
"Your reasons for being here?" Naruto asked overlooking them all carefully as he was expecting someone to come after him eventually but none of the people before.
"Apparently it this" Haruna said as pull out a scroll and having it handed to him "I was informed that there was talking dog with scroll address towards you by one of the guards. I had them thoroughly checked it out before even thinking about handing it over to you"
Reading over the scroll and then up at the those before him…then one more time back to the scroll again.
"So if what's written here is correct. That means that Sakura and myself are not consider missing nin and Rin is still just listed as MIA" he asked.
"The Hokage managed to guess that you would leave on your own to go after Sakura and managed to make it an official mission. Avoiding having to have you listed as a missing nin while with Sakura it took a lot of effect to keep on MIA list this long. Rin was not that much of problem as she had been considered MIA officially at least this entire time anyway" Iruka said.
"Then why is he here? You are just coming to get us after a successful mission, right?" Naruto asked looking carefully at Yamoto.
"Jiraiya did not inform us of everything and there are many things still unanswered that warrant my being here" he responded.
"I will consider this however I have some conditions as there some things that need to be sure of first" the genin informed them
Although before he could go any further bursting into the room was none of them Rin and Hanabi who was followed by Sakura and Ino. Sakura and Ino offered to stay with Rin as she was recovering from the shock of seeing Iruka. Hanabi on the other hand just followed after them not completely such why she came along though.
Once Rin came to her sense and realized something as the direction that Naruto had come falling in from was the same that Ryo was last seen. Meaning that he had actually left the castle's grounds to go looking for Ryo and probably had been this entire time without telling anyone. Thus she rushed out followed by Hanabi who mimicking her cause she heard Ryo's name being mention .
Realizing that her student would clearly see Kakashi just sitting down at the table. Acting quicker then Rin could, she summoned her iron sand to block her path as she did not think she was ready to see her last remaining teammate from her genin team just yet.
"What the big idea Sakura-sensei! He must know something about where Ryo went" Rin yelled at her.
To which Sakura explain the reason for her actions to Rin who was the only one present that did not know what was happening at the moment.
"Do not forgot that other kid that with you as we came from him too you know. He need explain what he did to me back then" the younger Hyuga heiress stated.
"Iruka-sensei is she always like this now" Sakura inquired.
"Sadly yes as we have no idea what happened but clearly that the fourth person with you has the answers" he told her.
"How is that even possible would not someone as skilled as him be known at least within where he was from. Even more so if he was capable of something like what he did for Sakura" Ino suggested.
"There is a good reason for that" Naruto said.
"Does it have to do with why you were crashing into ground when we all met earlier" Yamoto inquired.
Explaining away his own mistake, he reveal that he might have discovered what happened to Ryo and why they can not find him at the moment. That was because the problem is not 'where' but 'when' his student was at the moment.
Not much time was spent on Ryo being called his student as Rin was the same way with Sakura. It was mostly explained earlier why the two of them took teaching Ryo and Rin for various reasons already.
Anyway Naruto continued to explain the he had run into the summon Aeon who could control space-time far beyond what ninjas were able to thus allowing time travel.
"Time travel? You really expect us to believe that something like that is possible. Space-time ninjustu might be real but not actual time travel itself" Ino said.
"It very real indeed and we have proof of that right here with us" Naruto said motioning for Kakashi to hide.
"Sakura you can let down the sand barrier now as I need to see Hanabi for a moment" he explained to her.
"And just how I am the proof that such a thing exists" she said doubting him as she never even heard of space-time ninjustu in the first place.
"That makes sense as you are a genin so there is a lot you do not know after all. Rin, I am sure that you are more then aware of this type of ninjustu as your original sensei the Yellow Flash was user of it along with the Second Hokage. The first person in Konoha history at least to know how to use it" Naruto said.
"Do not treat me like that we are at the same level you know" Hanabi said angrily.
To this Naruto questioned how she knew such a thing. There could have been a update to his file and he could have been chunin after all. Konoha did not hold grip on the Chunin Exam as they were merely the village that held the year he beat Neji in the finals. Since then he had at least three chances to go to one of the other Chunin Exams that were held in the other villages during those years. Of course Hanabi had no answer but then when she thought about wonder how she knew such a thing.
Expanding more on his point Naruto guessed that the reason that Hanabi has gap in her memory and seem to know Ryo(as he is now) even though he was hardly ever out of his, Sakura's, or Rin's sight for very long is because that was the time Ryo had met her. He was transported to the past and must have some how found a way back at the end of that month.
"Then why was I found outside of Konoha not knowing what happen to me" the Hyuga demanded.
"Simple, he sealed away the memories of the time you spend together or almost all of them for the most part. There is so much that could have gone wrong from him or you attempting to prevent certain things from happening" Naruto said.
"You know all this because…why?" Yamoto inquired
"Merging with the Kyubi will do that to you. He was more then just chakra and power after all. All the tailed beast are like that really as we just never thought to think of them as anything of them mere creatures of power and destruction" Naruto told him.
