Note: Alright, so, I got a random hit of inspiration, so I'm updating this again. I'll probably update it more, but no promises on how often. As for anyone reading Children Of Pain, I'm trying to update, I really am. But I got distracted by Parenting101 so I have to go back and read it to remember what was going on. Plus trying to find the files where I had the OC's backstories wrote down. So yeah. A very slow work in progress.

Sasuke had been escorted from the Hokage office by Minato, the others chattering away with Kushina with interest in what they thought of the odd situation. Minato had his arms slung lightly around Sasuke's shoulders as they walked, the fifteen-year-old bitterly allowing this. The blonde let out a breath as they arrived at the housing area of the Hokage apartment. When he opened the door to let Sasuke in, he came face to face with a smiling Mikoto and smirking Fugaku, the mother in question holding a small bundle in her arms.

Minato quickly frowned, looking to Sasuke with concern. "Sasuke-" he began, but it was too late. The teen's eyes were widened in panic, hands raising to grip at his bangs and cover his eyes with a pained gasp. The elder Uchiha frowned at the strange boy's behavior, watching him take a few steps back with shaky movements. Minato reached out to grasp the teen's shoulder gently, sighing a bit. "That's right, they've passed away in your mind. This must be hard for you. Just take deep breaths." glancing at his long-time friends. "Guys, I'm glad to see you, but you need to go stand off to the side for a minute. It's complicated."

Both his friends did as he requested, more in awe than anything as they spotted the boy's shining pinwheel design. An Uchiha? But they ran the clan! Who in the seven hells could this boy be? They watched as Minato sat the boy down on the couch, offering him a glass of water to calm his panicked shaking. Slowly, the teen calmed down. Fugaku whistled. "Well, we all know who'll be marked father of the year when Kushina gets around to it." quirking a brow at his friend and the boy who, in his opinion, looked quite pathetic.

Minato sent him an annoyed look, "Fugaku, not the time." sighing a bit. "You saw the Sharingan, didn't you?" a nod. "You want an explanation, don't you?" yet another nod. Minato watched as they sat down, giving him an expecting look while holding a baby Itachi protectively close, away from Sasuke.

Sasuke mentally gave a bitter laugh. They already knew to be holding Itachi away-- and they didn't even know what he'd done. The fact that their sweet little boy was ended by him not too long ago in the future which he came from. Sasuke sulked. He didn't deserve to be near Itachi. Not after everything the older teen had given up for him, only to be repaid with a kick to the shins. Fugaku had sat with his wife across from Sasuke, so Minato settled for sitting beside Sasuke so the teen didn't feel cornered. Sasuke himself was just fine with this, tiredly leaning on Minato's shoulder. He didn't have the energy to play tough after the day he'd had.

Minato sighed awkwardly, allowing the boy to do as he pleased before speaking. "Fugaku, Mikoto, this is...hard to say, but. This is Sasuke Uchiha. He holds the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, which as you know, allows the user a pathway to what they subconsciously want most. Well, the future is a disaster. I don't know the details, but from what Sasuke has said it sounds like the truest form of hell. His Sharingan gave him the ability to travel back in time, I'm guessing to right before the event which led to all hell getting lose. So...meet Sasuke, your son, from the future."

Fugaku gave Sasuke a blank look, then glanced down at the baby in his wife's hands. Then back to Sasuke. Seeing his confusion, Sasuke shrugged lightly, pointing to the child loosely. "Five years from now is when I should be born, Itachi is five years older than me. So I guess that makes me from twenty years in the future."

Mikoto's brows furrowed in surprise, a sly smile of excitement playing on her lips. "Oh really? Well, tell me, what does my baby look like once he gets older in your time?" Fugaku looking at her with a disbelieving stare. That was not the question of most importance, but Sasuke easily answered.

"Well, he wasn't tall, but his shoulders were so wide and his back was so straight that he looked a lot taller than he was. His eyes were coal-black of course, and his Sharingan blazed brighter than any other Uchiha, alongside Shisui. Right along his cheek lines were long bags, but they fit well with his long hair. His hair matched his eyes in color, naturally. He kept it styled so that he had bangs like mine, except the back of his hair, ran down to his hips in a ponytail. He preferred to wear lighter clothes, lots of netted outfits when he got older." a slight smile crossing his lips as he thought of his elder brother.

Fugaku cut in icily, "How strong is he? When does he unlock his Sharingan?" Minato frowning lightly at his long-time friend. The man was always so blunt.

Sasuke spoke now with less excitement and more firmness as he was stared down by his father. "He unlocked his Sharingan very young. He was eight when it unlocked and eight when he mastered it. His Mangekyou was activated by the time he was eleven, but I don't know when he mastered it. He was very strong, hailed as the strongest Uchiha of the new generation along with Shisui. He graduated from the ninja academy at six years old, became a chuunin at ten, and the first Uchiha ANBU captain at age eleven. He later got a fatal illness, lowering his chakra reserves, but he was still far beyond the skill set of any foe he met. He was also smart enough to fight without brawn, while still having plenty of bite to his attacks. His most dangerous aspect had to be his genjutsu. With his eyes, he could trap you in a world of pain for what seems like years, when it's only a second in real-time. Everyone knew of the name Itachi, Konoha to Suna."

Minato sighed at the two content parents, "Well, that's all good and well, but there are more important matters to attend to. Mikoto, Fugaku, Sasuke just arrived here maybe an hour ago. He's already explained to me the main reasons why the world fell to ruins in his future. While away on a mission, Obito Uchiha will witness the death of his teammate, Rin. This will lead somehow to the destruction of the world. As such, I will not be going out on the battlefield until Sasuke tells me everything. We need to stop this upcoming doom, but I don't want to push him. He's just killed someone of great importance to him, earning his Mangekyou recently. That enough means he needs to let his emotions cool so he doesn't do something rash. On top of that, being thrown into a new timeline can hardly be easy. So we'll give him some time." he decided. "Can you cover for me, Fugaku?"

The elder Uchiha frowned at Sasuke, "While it is true that rash choices will lead us nowhere, it is foolish to wait. Sasuke, you need to tell us now. We're preparing for a big fight against Suna and can not have Minato missing from our front lines."

Sasuke paled a bit at the demand, mouth opening to try to force out more information, but Minato stopped him. "No, Fugaku, he needs some time. You all will be fine without me. Sasuke will be staying with me and Kushina so he can share the information when he is ready. You are not to force it upon him." he warned.

Fugaku looked at his old friend with annoyance, then glanced at Sasuke with a firm look of disapprovement. "Fine. We should head home to rearrange the war plans then. Tell Kushina we can visit again later. Sasuke, before I go, is there anything I should know concerning our clan?"

Sasuke knew exactly what he was asking. How the coup went. Sasuke looked far older than he was in that moment, eyes hardening and his lips pushing into a frown. "Your plans will fail. The only survivors will be Itachi, Obito, and me. I'll fill you in on the details soon enough."

Fugaku looked displeased but did not push further.
