„Naruto:Future Lies Ahead"
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto series. Let's get started.
Chapter 1
„Changing the course of history! Training with help of Future Memories!"
[Forest, Naruto training ground. After Academy.]
Naruto rushed to his favorite training site, once he was done wit academy. He wanted to try and see if he could force those 'visions' and see more of it. Maybe it had something to do with people and certain places? Who knows?
So far he learn the reason why he was hated. Then that Iruka recognized him. And finally that he inspired Hinata to be better.
"Okey...Let's pratice Bunshin no Jutsu!" -Naruto exclaimed and performed necessery handseals."Bunshin no Jutsu!" -In a poof of smoke, three pale clones appeared. They're lying on the floor, seemingly dead."Ah, C'mon! Why can't I make this right? Kawarimi no Jutsu and Henge no Jutsu are easy! But this one...Damn."
Then new vision came to him. In this one, Naruto found himself with that same scroll. He was studying it. He came upon a instresting justu. It was called Kage Bunshin no Justu. It seem to be easier to remember, because it was a simple cross sign. The vision ended and naruto rubbed his eyes. It was still hard to tell how he felt after seeing those visions. Naruto felt like he lived them, but in reality he didn't.
"Okey...Let's try this. Just one Bunshin." -Naruto said to himself and crossed his fingers."Kage Bunshin no Justu!" -He exclaimed and in poof of smoke, a single clone appeared. Naruto and the Clone look at each other. Then they poke one another and grinned."Yay! It actually worked! I'm not crazy after all!"
"Yup! And now you can pass the Academy test!" -His Clone said with grin.
"Yeah! Let's see how many more I can make!" -With that he crossed his fingers again. In poof of smoke 15 more clones appeared."Amazing! This jutsu is dope! I wonder why they teaching us only a Bunhin no jutsu? This technique seems more useful."
"Right...But I feel that you lost a tiny bit of your chakra." -One of the clones told the Original.
"Yeah, that's right. Still, it just a little bit right? The rest of our class shouldn't have that much of a problem." -Other clone said to the rest. All of them wondered for a second.
"I quess. But We should talk about those visions." -Original said to his clones."I mean, the thing I saw now was real since you guys are here."
"Still...Why is all of this happening now?" -Naruto mused to himself."Ah, dammit this so confusing!"
"Hey! At least you know new jutsu! A physical clones are much better that those simple bunshins, right?" -One of his clones asked with smile. Real Naruto noded in agreetment.
One of the clones start to look around and saw a shadow. He raised his eyebrow before suddenly walking away from the group. He climb up the tree and went after the shadow. He jumped to the tree branch where he saw this shadow. He look down and his eyes winded in surprise.
'Hinata? What is she doing here?' -Clone wondered."Hey Hinata! What are you doing it?" -Hinata suddely 'Eeek'ed and jumped. The rest of the clones and Naruto heard that and moved their eyes toward the source of the voice."Look who I found, boss! It's Hinata!"
"Really? Oi, Hinata what are you doing in here?" -Naruto asked, while rushing toward her. The rest of the clones poof out of the existance.
"Um...Ano...I was j-just passing by." -She replied with weak smile.
"Really? But isn't Hyuga Clan district the other way?" -Naruto asked and Hinata paled.
"Um...I like to take a walk." -Hinata replied, causing Naruto to raise his eyebrow."S-Since when can you m-make Bunshins? I'm sorry to ask, but you usually bad with them." -Hinata said with small blush.'Oh...Why did I ask him that?! He'll think I'm some kind of stalker!'
"Ah, that? Well, I found out a jutsu that helped me create even better clones!" -Naruto explained while grinning.
"Really...? I'm sorry, but I think I overheard what you're saying. Where did you learn that jutsu?" -She asked and Naruto poundered telling her about those visions. He really didn't know Hinata that well. It could be easier to talk about it with someone other than himself. And talking to his copies seem creepy."Of course, if you don't mind me knowing."
"Well...First thing first, can you keep up the secret?" -Naruto asked and Hinata tilted her head.
"A secret? What kind of secret?" -Hinata asked in confused tone.
"It's about the jutsu you saw and why I was acting strange in Academy." -Naruto started and Hinata noded. He extended his hand toward Hinata."Can you promise me not to spill a word about it?" -Hinata blushed at the sight of him offering his hand. But then she saw his serious expression.
She gulped and slowly grabbed Naruto face, much to her pleasure.
"I-I promise...I won't say a word unless you tell me to." -Hinata promised and Naruto vision changed again.
Now he found himself being pin down by black rods. He was much older and wore a red and black cloack. In front of him was standing much older Hinata. She was facing a guy dressed in black cloak with red clouds and had strange purple eyes. Then He heard her soft but firm voice.
[…I used to always cry and give up… I made many wrong turns… But you… You helped me find the right path… I always chased after you… I wanted to catch up to you… I wanted to walk beside you all the time… I just wanted to be with you… You changed me! Your smile is what saved me! That is why I'm not afraid to die protecting you! Because… I love you…]
His eyes winded in shock, as tiny blush formed on his face. He stared at Hinata, causing her to look away.
"Um...Is there something on my face." -Hinata asked, causing Naruto to snap out.
"No, of course not. You look wonderful..." -Naruto replied, causing her to gape and stare at him. Hinata felt like fainting, but she had to hold on."Hehe, anyway...About that secret. It's hard to believe but it all started this morning when I had nightmare."
"A nightmare? What kind of nightmare?" -Hinata asked a little worried.
"Where nothing made sense. I was brutally beaten. Everyone was dead or barely alive. I was standing in front of someone godly." -Naruto said and Hinata eyes winded in surprise."It looked like a war to me. Like those Great Ninja Wars that Iruka Sensei was talking about. I've used some kind of seal on my arm. Then that 'god' attacked me. Few seconds later I looked dead. At the end of it, He buried me talking about respect for my clan..."
"I don't really know what to say...It's horrible." -Hinata said, covering her mouth. She kinda felt sick."But what about your Clan? But you don't have a Clan right?"
"That's what I know...Or what Old Man Hokage told me." -Naruto replied with sadden face."Then I went to the Academy. I saw Sasuke, Sakura and Ino. A second later, my vision buzzed and they changed. They look different, a little older. After that I went to the class and sat by next to you..." -He paused and bit his lips."Then I saw that bastard Mizuki. Another vision came. From that one I learn why everyone hates me...You want to know?" -He asked quietly.
"I won't h-hate you. You can tell me..." -Hinata saiw with reassuring smile. Naruto gave a long sigh.
"I learn that this Demon Fox, Kyubi is inside of me. The one who almost destroyed our Village." -He said with dry throat. Hinata eyes winded."I know, I know...I shouldn't trust those visions. But...Later I saw Iruka Sensei and new vision came. I saw him saving me and saying that he respected me...It was the first time I ever heard something so nice. Only Hokage was so nice." -He said as small tear formed in his eyes."Then...I saw you. You asked If I'm okey and then I heard your voice. About how I inspire you to be a better person. That you respect me for not giving up."
At that Hinata bluesh again. It was true that she though that way. Her life is changing right now. Maybe god was giving her a chance to finally get closer to Naruto. She wanted that so badly. Hinata didn't had any friends. So maybe that was a good way to start. And who knows? Maybe something will came out of it.
"Naruto kun...You're not a Monster, okey? You're a special person to Hokage sama, Iruka Sensei and...Me." -Hinata said to him softly. He look at her face and smiled.
"Thank you...But then again, the last vision confirm everything." -Naruto said with sigh."Because I didn't learn this new jutsu now, but in the future."
"So those visions...Are visions from the Future?" -Hinata asked, while poking her fingers.
"I quess so...but at the same time...I feel like I've lived through them." -Naruto said, while scratching his head.
"Maybe...You should talk with Hokage sama. He could help you with those visions." -Hinata suggested, but Blond shook his head in negative.
"No...I need to learn more about those visions. Or maybe Memories." -Naruto said seriously."If I learn anything new, I'll inform you. Who knows how many things I will see."
"If that's what you want." -Hinata said quietly."But promise that you'll becareful."
"Of course, Dattebayo! At least now I have new jutsu up in my sleeve!" -Naruto said with grin."Hey! Maybe you wanna head out and eat Ramen?"
"E-Eat Ramen? W-With you?" -Hinata asked, with massive blush.
"Yeah! Sure, let's go Hinata!" -Naruto grab Hinata hands and drag her toward his Favoritre Ramen Stand.'I'm still very confused about that Memory from before. When she said that she loves me. I know it's in the future, but maybe I'll learn why I did that she fall for me...But what about Sakura? I like her, but she doesn't seem to like me at all.'
[Some time later. Ramen Stand]
"Ah! It's my favorite customer!" Teuchi exclaimed with smile on his face."And you have a friend with you! How nice!"
"Yeah. This is Hinata Hyuga." -Blond introduce her to Teuchi."Where is Ayame san, though?"
"She's shopping. It's honour to meet Hyuga Heir." -Teuchi said with slight bow."The usual, Naruto? What about Hinata-sama?"
"I would like Pork Ramen." -Hinata said with smile.
"Just like you said, Teuchi-san. The usual!" -Naruto said, while grinning.
"Give a second and your meal will be ready!" -Teuchi said and turn around. He start preparing their Ramen with a small smile.
Naruto glanced at Hinata, who was blushing and looking down at her feet. He smiled and then look at his right. There was a man, sitting on the last seat. He was dressed in normal Jounin outfit. But what surprised him was the mask he was wearing. And that part of his headband was covering his left eyes. He also had standing grey hair.
Suddenly another memory came to him. His vision buzzed and changed. He was sitting next to Sakura and Sasuke. Just like them, Naruto had Konoha Headband. In front of him was that Man. A Scarecrow, Naruto mused.
[...I'm Kakashi Hatake. I have no desire to tell you my likes and dislikes… My dreams for the future… Hmm… As for my hobbies… I have lots of hobbies…]
The scene changed to him being tied to the pole, while Sakura and Sasuke were feeding him. Suddenly Kakashi appeared and told them, that they past the test. Then he heard that Kakashi person voice again.
[...In the ninja world, those who break the rules are trash, that's true, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash...]
Then his vision buzzed again and return to normal. He blinked and rubbed his eyes. He saw that Kakashi Hatake just left the Ramen Stand. Naruto unknowingly smiled and turn toward Hinata.
"Naruto kun? Are you okey? Did you...?" -She asked and Naruto noded.
"It was about this guy by the last seat. His name is Kakashi Hatake." -Naruto started."He's appearently my Future Jounin Sensei. Also, it's seems like I'll end up on a Team with Sasuke and Sakura."
'What? I won't be on a team with Naruto kun?' -Hinata though sadly. Naruto saw that and smiled.
"Hey, it's okey. I heard that Future is not set in stones, right?" -Naruto said and Hinata looked at him."Cheer up, please!" -At that Hinata smiled. He was right.'I finally made a friend. Whatever happend in the future...I'm glad it did.'
"Here's your Ramen! Eat up!" -Teuchi exclaimed, while placing the bowls before them. The two of them smiled and start eating the Ramen.
