Summary: What would happen if the future were not as it was suppose to be? What would happen when unpredictable events happen to ruin everyone's lives and even end some? What would the survivors do to change it? Would they be able to change it? If so, how? They know nothing of the consequences of changing the past but they do know that the future would not end up as it is now. That is enough reason for two young men to take a journey off to fix the broken past. But weather they succeed or not is up to their parents and up to what they do. For if the past does not change than neither does the future.
Last Time:
Memories had flooded through Shinji's head as he was looking around while running. Some good, some bad, some both, most without a happy ending.
Chapter 2: Memories
His dark red eyes traveled over to the academy, where he had learned the basics of being a ninja. His past came back to him; he started to think about his graduation. He had left the academy at the age of five, along with his two best friends.
Flashback, 13 years ago, Kohona Ninja Academy
He was sitting in the corner of the room, leaning forward in his chair, his hands under his chin while his elbows were placed on the table. He best friends had yet to come, so he was sitting alone. Which was not good in his opinion, for his damn fan girls kept staring at him and were fighting over who was going to sit next to him.
Yes he already had fan girls to his dismay, why they were here was beyond him, they weren't ready to become a genin like him. As far as he knew only him and his best friends were ready now. That's why they were called here, to get their team number and to know when they were going to meet their new sensei. He sighed, how much longer must he wait for his friends?
His fans girls were really starting to bug him now. They kept asking him questions to which he paid no attention to and even though they knew that they still asked him. A few more minutes of this and he was going to explode. He was about to stand when a hand was placed on his shoulder. He turned his head to look at the person who dared put a hand on him, only to find that his friend had finally arrived.
"Tenji." He acknowledged, with a nod and the Hyuuga smirked. "Took you long enough to get here." He continued.
"Sorry, but you know how fan girls can be." Tenji told him and he shivered in displeasure just thinking about it. Shinji nodded to him once more and Tenji took a seat next to him, on his left.
"Where's Hinaru?" Tenji asked and before Shinji could answer the window shattered as a kunai hit it. Glass slid across the floor. The two were instantly on their feet, kunai in their hands. The fan girls on the other hand had ran out of the place, scared. They backed down though as soon as they saw who had came threw the window.
"Dope." Shinji said to the boy, shaking his head.
"Teme, stop calling me a dope." Hinaru yelled at him.
"Why?"
"Because I am the Hokage's son and I can have you stripped of you ninja rights." Hinaru told him.
"Whatever, dope." Shinji said before going back to sit in his seat.
"So, why'd it take you so long to get here?" Tenji asked Hinaru as the two went to take a sit by Shinji.
"I overslept." Hinaru said sheepishly while rubbing the back of his neck.
"Figures." Shinji mumbled to himself but loud enough so the other two could hear.
Before Hinaru could reply though, the door slid open and in came Iruka. He looked at the window and shattered glass on the floor and looked at the three.
"Who the hell broke the window?" He yelled at them. Tenji and Shinji pointed to Hinaru.
"Traitors." He muttered to them and they smirked.
"Hinaru, just because you're the Hokage's son doesn't mean you can do everything you want you know." Iruka yelled at him and he mumbled a I know and than a sorry.
"Ok, than, I guess you three want your team number and sensei right?" He asked the three and they nodded.
"Well, you'll be team 22, and your sensei will meet you here tomorrow." Iruka told them.
"You can't just tell us who our sensei is?" Shinji asked.
"Nope. It's a surprise." Iruka said before he left.
"Well I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out who our sensei is." Hinaru said to the two.
"Or we could just ask you dad." Tenji suggested.
"Yeah, like he'll know. He can't even remember where he put his forehead protector at times." Shinji snorted.
"Hey, I can't either at times." Hinaru defended.
"It was on his head." Shinji finished.
"Good point Shinji, well I guess there's nothing else to do except to go home." Tenji said.
"Yeah, I suppose." Shinji said before standing up. The three left the academy and went back to their homes.
Shinji also thought about how he had also learned Sharigan at the same age, when someone had really pissed him off by calling his sister and her friends names. He clenched his fist unconsciously at the memory.
Flashback
His family, as well as his parent friends and children where all on a picnic, talking about things he wasn't interested in as of now. There was a playground a few yards away from them, where his younger sister, Hana was playing with her friends. She was only three. Her friends were Tejia Hyuuga and Inoska Nara. He was watching over them while Hinaru and Tenji were sparring with each other.
He saw a three kids about seven years old, come over to the three. His eyes quickly narrowed at the sight, his stare becoming more intent than before. He saw the biggest kids mouth moving and watched as the three girls held back tears. When he saw this his blood boiled and his legs quickly took him over there.
He tapped the guy on the shoulder and waited for him to turn around. He and his companions soon did.
"What?" The kid asked rudely. Shinji's face showed no emotion what so ever but his eyes showed clear anger and hatred.
"Do you want to get beat up?" Shinji asked him, cracking his knuckles. The three kids chuckled at him which made him even angrier.
"Your going to beat us up? Ha, that's a first. You a mere five year old. You can't do anything to us. You're a weakling." The kid told him and that was enough to throw him over board. Nobody dares to call an Uchiha weak, nobody. Shinji's eyes turned to a crimson red color, three black swirls were found within it.
"Weakling? I'll show you weakling, kid." Shinji said before his fist connected with the boys jaw, sending him to the ground. Luckily his sister and her friends had ran besides him while he was talking to the three.
The other two watched this and quickly went and tried to punch Shinji in the face. Shinji saw this immediately and using quick reflexes he dodged, took both hands and crashed the two together. The two he gathered were unconscious from the impact. He saw the leader stand up, his lip bleeding.
"Guys, go to Hinaru and Tenji." He told his sister and her friends who nodded and did what they were told.
"You'll pay for that, brat." The kid told him before charging at him. The kid took a kunai out from a patch in his left leg and slashed at Shinji with it. He dodged every one with ease. When he saw him swing it once again, he extended his hand and caught the blade in it. The kid looked shocked.
"Wha..What?" He shuttered.
"You should learn the names of the kids who you pick on before doing so, because one of the three you just so happened to upset was my sister, an Uchiha and the other was the daughter of a Hyuuga." Shinji told him before he sent his free fist into the kids face. He was knocked out instantly. He snorted and shook his head at the three idiots.
His shoulder felt a hand on it and he immediately whirled around to look at the person, his eyes still red. It was his mother. She gasped when she saw him and her eyes widened.
"What?" He asked her, with concern. She said nothing but called Sasuke who had been comforting his two kids, his daughter and son. The three year old and the one year old, boy, Reiji, who had started crying when he saw his sister crying. Sasuke looked up at her and she motioned for him to come over. He set Reiji back in his stroller and handed Hinata, Hana since she was the only one who was free as of right now.
He walked over to the two and asked Sakura what was the matter. She told him to look at Shinji's eyes.
"Why?" Sasuke asked but she just told him to do it. He did and was shocked.
"Shar- Sharigan?" He shuttered in amazement.
"Shari what?" Shinji asked, never hearing of it before. His parents hadn't told him of his bloodline limit for they didn't think he'd get it at a young age.
"He beat both you and your brother." Sakura commented before she picked Shinji up and hugged him.
"That's my boy." Sasuke said and patted him on the head to Shinji's discomfort. The two were about to turn around when they saw the three unconscious and bleeding boys on the ground.
"Shinji, I'm just going to guess you had something to do with this." Sakura said to him.
"It's possible." He told her nervously, earning a chuckle from his father and a giggle from
his mother.
He then looked towards where the forest of death was, where he had taken the Chunin exams at the age of seven. He gained something in here that he never wished to obtain. His hand shot up to the side/back of his neck as he thought about it.
Flashback
The gate opened and the teams were off in a flash. He and his team were off, running deeper and deeper into the deadly forest, fully aware of what laid in it or so they thought. They must have ran a good mile before stopping, for Hinaru kept complaining his feet where hurting.
"Hinaru, if you don't shut up about your stupid feet, I'll cut your tongue out. You're going to give our cover away." Shinji growled to him and he nodded.
Shinji leaned against the tree, waiting for Hinaru to rest up so they could go. A minute later, Shinji's ears picked up a rustle in a nearby bush, he was instantly up in a fighting stance. Tenji was also in a fighting stance on alert. Hinaru was on alert but not in any fighting stance, he was leaning over, his hands on his knees, looking up.
A shuriken came flying at Shinji out of nowhere, but he quickly dodged it and it embedded itself in the tree Shinji had been leaning on. Shinji walked over to exam it and his yes widened.
"Everyone, move." He told the other two as he jumped away from the tree.
Tenji followed soon after but Hinaru just stood there. Shinji and Tenji landed on a tree branch a yard away from the tree with the shuriken. Shinji was on a higher branch than Tenji.
"Hinaru, you damn idiot move." Shinji yelled at him but Hinaru ignored him. He walked over to the shuriken and looked at it. His eyes also widened. A tag was upon it.
Boom!
The shuriken exploded. Tenji looked up from the tree branch he was on, to look at Shinji who was...not there.
"What the hell?" Tenji said, as he saw nothing on the branch where Shinji was suppose to be.
"Right here." Shinji voice said, coming from right below him. Tenji looked down and saw Shinji with Hinaru.
"Thank god." Tenji said and jumped down to join them.
"Damn dope, what the hell is the matter with you. You could have been killed." Shinji said with an anger filled voice.
"Oops? Sorry guys, I'm just a wee bit tired from running." Hinaru said to them.
"Whatever dope, just don't do it again, because next time, I'll let you die." Shinji said before jumping down on to the ground. The other two followed.
"Who threw it?" Tenji asked and the other two shrugged.
"Doesn't matter right now. Let's just go." Shinji said to them. They looked at him strangely for a moment before nodding.
"Leaving so soon?" They heard a voice ask them. All froze on the spot.
"Who the hell are you? And where are you?" Hinaru asked, looking around the area, searching for the owner of the voice.
"Right here." The man said before appearing no more than five yards from Shinji. He was very pale with long black hair and gold eyes.
"Who are you?" Tenji asked him but only got a chuckle in response.
"You mean your parents didn't tell you? I thought they would especially you, Shinji." The man said and Shinji narrowed his eyes at him.
"Why would I need to know more than them?" Shinji asked the man.
"Ask your father and mother, they'll know." The man told him.
"Who are you?" Tenji repeated his question, seeing as it wasn't answered.
"Orochimaru." The man said, identifying himself.
"What do you want?" Shinji asked him.
"Oh, nothing really, just this." Orochimaru said before his head extended to reach Shinji, his mouth latching onto the side/back of his neck as he buried two canine fangs into the boy's neck. Shinji was too surprised to react as were Tenji and Hinaru. Orochimaru let go soon after and retracted his head.
Shinji fell to the ground, on his knees, his hand grasping the wound on his neck. Three comma like swirls formed by where he was bitten and pain shot out threw Shinji's body like a wild fire. He screamed, tightening his hold on his neck, as he fell forward, his face near the ground with one hand on it to stop him from hitting it fully.
The scream snapped Tenji and Hinaru out from their surprise and they rushed over to him, asking what was the matter. He only screamed in pain as a response.
"As I said, ask your father and mother, they'll be able to tell you." Orochimaru said before disappearing. Soon after that Shinji blacked out.
How he hated that goddamn snake. He was the reason that his life was mostly ruined.
"Shinji?" He heard Hinaru call out and he slightly turned his head to look at him.
"Ready to leave this place?" He asked and Shinji nodded. Both ran with inhuman speed out of Kohona. When they were a few miles away they stopped and looked at each other.
"Well only one thing left to do now huh?" Hinaru asked and Shinji nodded. Shinji took out the scroll they had taken from the Hokage.
"How are we gonna break the locks and chains?" Hinaru asked.
Shinji's hands glowed a bright red as he punched the locks. They busted open and he took out a piece of paper that was folded in with the scroll.
"Oh," Hinaru said, "Well what does it say?"
"It says:
The time scroll will grant you access to the past, and/or future. You may use it only six times. After the sixth it disappears forever. Only two other exists. No more than ten people are allowed to travel with it. Many people use it to change past events that changed the future into one they did not want. Many people go to the future to escape the past. Whatever the reason they use time as a solution. Beware though. Time is a dangerous thing and a powerful one. You have been warned. To use it you must channel your Chakra into the scroll and make a picture of who or what you wish to go to. You also have to state the age of the person if that's what it is.
That's all it says." Shinji said as he finished reading it.
"Well who are we going to go to?" Hinaru asked.
"My mother, of course. We need to tell her. And nobody else must know but her. It could cause disruption in the future if we let too much out." Shinji told him.
"What age?"
"18."
"Ready?"
"Yeah." Shinji said as he unrolled the scroll.
Both him and Hinaru put their hands on it and channeled their Chakra into it. They both had a clear picture of whom they wanted to go to and at what age in their mind. The scroll glowed a bright pink before the two of them disappeared.
(A/N: End of chapter 2. I hope you liked it. Well the next chapter will have Sakura in it. It'll take place in the past. I thank all who reviewed. They are greatly appreciated. Please continue to do so. Thank you.)
