Chap.4: Sonic Bird Jutsu, Catch me if you can!
"Naruto, I'm waiting. Come to me. Hold me in your arms." Naruto was dreaming of Hinata. In this dream she was wearing a red bikini and they were standing in a big field. He started to run to her when metal arms popped out of the ground and grabbed Hinata. "Naruto, help me!"
"I'm coming!" But more arms rose up held him in place. No matter how hard he tried Naruto couldn't break free.
Hinata was being pulled into the ground. "Naruto help me! HELP MEEEE!"
While Naruto tossed and turned in is sleep in her room Hinata also dreamed. They were both in a church getting married. Naruto was in a tux while Hinata was in a beautiful wedding gown. "Do you, Naruto Uzumaki take this woman to by lawfully wedded wife?" The minister asked.
"I do." Naruto said.
"And do you, Hinata Hyuuga take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do." Hinata said. This was as she always dreamed her wedding would be until…
"I now pronounce you…" The Eliminator burst through the wall and took Naruto by the throat.
"Hinata hel…help meee." Naruto gasped.
"Naruto!" She rushed in to help but the Eliminator just knocked her back. She couldn't get up.
"Hi…na…taaaaa." Naruto said with his last breath.
"NOOOOOO!" Hinata then woke up and rushed out to the hall and saw Naruto doing the same.
"Hinata, thank god you're alright." Naruto said.
"Naruto I thought I lost you." Hinata cried.
"Let me guess you had nightmares that machines came and killed the other." Tora said.
"How did you know?" Naruto asked.
"I had nightmares like that for most of my life. But enough about dreams we got a lot of training today." Tora said.
"Hinata why don't you shower first I don't mind." Naruto said.
"Thank you." Hinata said with a smile.
As she walked to the bathroom Tora looked at Naruto. "What was that about?" Tora asked.
"Since we are going to be married one day I thought I'd go head and start getting on her good side. I think that if I do a lot nice stuff for her now then if I make a mistake or something she won't get mad at me." Naruto said with a grin.
"NARUTO UZUMAKI!" It was Hinata and she sounded mad. When Naruto saw her angry for the first time he got scared.
"H…Hinata what wrong my sweet?" Naruto said hoping some nice words would save him.
"Don't my sweet me! Is this some sort ofjoke?" Hinata said pointed to the bathroom.
Naruto looked inside and the whole room was cover with muddy dirt. "Where did all this come from?" Naruto said.
"I guess I really needed that rinse last night." Tora said sheepishly.
"How long did you go with out bathing?" Hinata was now mad at Tora.
"Well when each day you're just trying to survive you tend to put things like hygiene low on the list." Tora said.
"How long?" Hinata said again.
"Three or four." Tora said.
"Days?" Naruto asked.
"Weeks." Tora said.
"Well while you're here I want you to bath every day and since you made this mess you can it up. Naruto you help him I'll make some breakfast." With that she left.
"Yes ma'am." Tora said. "It's weird, here I'm three years older than her but I still feel helpless when she's mad." He thought.
As Hinata walked to the kitchen she thought. "I've seen men act like Naruto did when their wives or girlfriends are mad at them but Tora. It was like a child who was afraid his mother was mad at them. Now I've got to ask him."
After breakfast which Tora said was 'one of the best thing his ever eaten' they went outside to start training. "Now the object of this is to try to take one of these two tags off of me." Tora said.
"Sounds a lot like the first test that Kakashi sensei gave me." Naruto said.
"Well the difference is that I will not fight back I'll just dodge." Tora said. Hinata tried to grab a tag while Tora was talking to Naruto but sidestepped with great speed. "I didn't say go yet. Ok, go!" For four hours they tried to catch Tora but he was so fast they couldn't get near him.
"This is impossible. He is way too fast." Naruto said panting.
"How are we supposed to keep up with someone like that?" Hinata panted.
"Those Eliminators are just as fast as I am and you can't hope to fight them if you can't keep up. But then I am the fastest thing alive so I knew that you wouldn't be able to do on the first day. You know it's funny; for years I've couldn't beat either of you in training but here now it's almost too easy." Tora said enjoying this. Naruto and Hinata tried to get him rushing from both sides but he just jumped and they collided.
"Hey!" It was Sakura and Sasuke. "We thought we would bring you all some lunch."
"Thanks, we're starving!" Both Hinata and Naruto said. They all sat down and began to eat. It was a beautiful day at Tora looked very calm and relaxed.
"I bet this is the real Tora, the one who doesn't feel the weight of the weight of the world on his shoulders." Hinata thought. Then she asked. "Tora since I learned you were from the future there has been something that I just have to ask you. Something I need to know. Are you Naruto's and my son, our biological child?"
Tora sighed. "Yes. Yes I am."
"What!" Naruto said.
"Well he does look like you both so it's not that hard to see." Sakura said.
"That's Naruto for youno grasp of the obvious." Sasuke said.
With that everyone but Naruto laughed, and then an old woman walked up to the safe house. "Is there something we can help you ma'am?" Sakura asked. The woman attacked Hinata.
"The Eliminator! Mom, Dad stay close to me!" Tora said. Once again it dropped its hologram and the laser popped out of its arm an it shot in Naruto's direction Naruto dodging just barley in time. Tora went in for an attack. "SONIC SWORD JUTSU!" Tora rapidly swung his katana at the Eliminator but it blocked him move for move.
"Let's see if this will get your attention!" Sakura said. She used the super strength technique Tsunade taught her and threw a tree at the robot. The Eliminator punched the tree and reduced it to kindling.
Sasuke attacked. "FIRE STYLE! DRAGON FIRE JUTSU!" The fire did nothing as the Eliminator moved ever closer to its targets leaving Sasuke and Sakura behind. "Is there nothing we can do to stop this thing?"
It took aim again fired at Hinata. "Mom! Look out!" Tora pushed her out of the way and got hit.
"Tora!" Hinata started to cry.
"I'm fine it barley touched…oh no!" Tora looked shocked.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked.
"It hit my Time Sphere! The energy imbalance is going to set it off!" Tora said holding up a blue metal ball.
"It's going to blow up!" Naruto said.
"No, it going to open a time rift! If I work fast I can set a destination, but we it will only go forward." Tora worked on it as a black and white field of energy surrounded him, Naruto, and Hinata. In an instant they were all gone. The Eliminator just stood there.
"Now what? Is he going to try to kill everyone in the village now?" Sakura thought.
"What wrong he's just standing there!" Sasuke said.
"The targets are now at the home time." The Eliminator said.
"So you aren't going after them?" Sakura said.
"Unlike the humans we only used enough energy for one time jump. He obviously intended that device for a return trip to the present." The Eliminator said.
"So they sent you here with no way back home?" Sakura said.
"I will wait until I receive orders form Mother Net. You humans are all going to die in the machine uprising." With that The Eliminator ran out of sight so it would not be disturbed until it got new orders.
Thirty years later.
The field appeared in some burned out ruins. "Where are we?" Naruto said. The sky was covered clouds so dark you couldn't tell whether it was night or day.
"And more importantly when." Hinata said.
"Home." Tora said.
"This is the world you come from?" Hinata said.
"Yeah, these are the ruins of Konoha City. As the ninja way of life died out it became a regular city."
Hinata could take what she saw around her. Her home town burned and her family dead she just cried.
"And this is what we to look forward to? Ruin? Being hunted? What's the point if there is nothing left?" Naruto said angry.
"With out you we have nothing. But you gave us all the chance to live and you both still give us all hope." Tora said.
"Tora?" a young woman with long straight pink hair said.
"Aiko." Tora embraced the girl. "Naruto, Hinata this is Aiko Uchiha she's one the people that you saved."
"Uchiha but does that she's…?" Naruto tried to ask.
"We'll have to ask the older you." Tora said.
"Ask about what?" Aiko said.
"Aiko, I think I might have met your parents." Tora said. Aiko only held her hand up to her mouth.
"Well Tora you certainly messed thing up. You weren't supposed to bring them here! Mom and Dad are going to kill you." It was a girl with spiky blonde hair with a ponytail hanging upside down from a beam. She flipped right down and Hinata and Naruto saw that she too had the Byakugan.
"Hanami. She's my little sister." Tora said annoyed. "I didn't mean to bring them it was an accident." Just then they heard the sounds of rotors and saw a light.
"A Seeker." Aiko said.
"A what?" Naruto said.
"No time, just come with us!" Hanami said.
