Chapter 2

Minato-The future and the present

I was in deep thinking mode after making sure Kakashi had left the hospital. Staring at the closed door, I knew what I needed. Slowly I pulled the door and entered the room. That girl was staring at window.

"So, Rin-chan I'm sorry for earlier," I said and stopped near at the end of her bed. The girl turned her head and nodded.

"It's okay, I can see the shock on both of your faces wait…where is your student, Yondaime-sama?"

"I've sent him back."

"Oh…" She looked relieved, I guessed.

"So, Rin-chan I'm going to propose some procedure on you before the next decision."

It seemed my statement did give her a perk of interest since she turned fully and we were facing each other. Those eyes, it was eerily similar with my dead student. There was an excitement and seriousness in it just like Rin. I released a soft breath and looked at the opened window.

"Tomorrow, you're going to meet someone and there will be some test in order to determine your identity. So for today, just rest here and don't go anywhere."

The girl shrugged. "I don't have anywhere to go. Don't worry I'll behave." She paused and looked at her hands. "With this kind of body, I don't think a long walk is wise. I'll get tired easily."

I smiled at her while internally I frowned. What was she? It seemed that she didn't act like a real kid. As if she was an adult.

"Okay, then tomorrow I'll send someone to escort you around. Please have a rest."

"Sure, thank you Yondaime-sama." The girl bowed at me and I nodded.

After closing the door, I sighed softly and walked to the tower where my office was.

Inoichi was one of my classmates during our time at the academy. He was a soft spoken boy and always got bullied by a group of dominance kids and even by Kushina. I face palmed at the memory. It was happened during our taijutsu practice, they were paired together. Inoichi was a real gentleman; he didn't hit girls and kids younger than him. Well, just like me, I grinned. Anyway, back to our childhood story, Inoichi and Kushina were paired together and the fight was totally one sided. Kushina was a brash girl that time. I guessed it was due to the initial treatment she had received during her first day at the academy. Inoichi played safe by stood still in defense. She had called him flower boy. Well Inoichi's family did have a florist and he worked there sometimes.

Knocking sound came from my office door. Quickly grabbing the nearest scroll, I faked a cough.

"Please come in."

The door opened and Yamanaka Inoichi entered my room. We changed our friendly smile before I gestured at the chair in front of my desk.

"Yondaime-sama, I've read your message and come here as soon as possible."

"Yes, thank you Inoichi," I said and looked at him. "You can do it?"

"Sure, it's my specialty." Inoichi smiled and slowly his face became serious. "From the information you gave me in the message, that girl seems to be coming from the future? Is that true?"

"I'm not sure about that, that's why I need you to see her minds and everything."

Inoichi nodded. "I believe no one had known about this since you had called me here personally just like a normal briefing and there aren't any of yours guards, Yondaime-sama. There is also silent jutsu in this room. What about the council?"

"They don't need to know something like this before we had done the normal procedure," I said and hummed before looking up at Inoichi. "If that girl is truly from the future I know what I need to do next."

Inoichi stared at my desk silently. Casually I picked up my team picture and gave to him.

"Look at Rin my student, the girl you're going to meet tomorrow is having very similar face like her."

Inoichi raised his eye brows and looked at the picture. "Mm…"

Inoichi did his job very fast as he managed to finish with everything including report writing before the lunch hour and he came to my office with a very concern look on his face. I took that he had found something in that girl's mind. Giving a chakra signal, the room suddenly empty leaving only me and Inoichi. After securing a silent seal around the place, I took the report from Inoichi's hand and read the content. Raising my eyebrows and frowning, I grunted under my breath and looked at Inoichi.

"This is weird," I said and shrugged in my seat.

Inoichi nodded. "The world she lives in was different with us. There were buildings unlike us, concrete; everything was made with it, no wooden materials. There were also transports that are so…weird. It was modern!"

"And to think that our lives here was in form of picture books and there are also television program too!" I waved the report and rubbed my forehead.

"I've read something about a world like the one I saw in her mind. It was a fiction book and to think that I've seen that in her mind, I don't really know anymore."

"She must feel the same like us since she only knows about our world from book and television program."

I sighed and slouched on my chair. Pinching my nose bridge and groaned, I looked at Inoichi who was rubbing his neck.

"This is insane, but somehow she didn't lie about saying that she is from the future," I said softly. "To think that we are in a picture books. She read that as her bedtime story or what?"

"Yes and about that, she is actually an adult there."

"What?"

"It's true even somehow her body had shrunk to a kid size here or something else for example a jutsu and extra information, the adults there enjoy our story there too."

"Wow, so we become history materials?"

Inoichi shrugged and pointed at the papers in my hand. "Well, I've attached the content I've manage from her memories." Inoichi paused. "It's a very important thing and it's very difficult too."

I narrowed my gaze and looked at another stack of papers behind Inoichi's report.

"Naruto…" I read the title and shrugged.

"Yes, apparently our world was under that title or more precisely that's your son's name."

"Inoichi," I called his name in serious tone.

"Yes, Yondaime-sama?"

"This is only between us."

"Yes, sir!" Inoichi bowed in respect before he raised his head. "Do you have any idea about her arrival here?"

I smiled and placed the papers on my messy desk. "I have a hunch."

Suzuhara Rin's face was complicated; she tried her hardest to understand every explanation about time space ninjutsu that I spoke out theoretically. The girl already slouched on the chair Inoichi occupied earlier. She also groaned softly while grasped and kneaded her back of neck with her eyes closed. I guessed it was too much for her to digest the information. I smiled softly while staring at every her actions. She did look like Rin my student but somehow she was different. Indeed, she was totally a different person from the only girl in my team. Our Rin was a soft spoken girl and an enthusiastic girl with medical ninjutsu as her passion and her crush on Kakashi while this Rin was a curious girl with calming aura around her. I guessed that was because she was mentally older than her physical age. She could control her feelings and I did feel she had a hidden potential.

While staring at the tired girl, my mind had formulated something for the future. This girl in front of me was going to be a very good bridge from what I've read of 'Naruto'. I wasn't surprised with the content but more shocked with my choice with my unborn son's fate. Silently I rested my chin on my folded hands where my elbows were on the desk. The tales wasn't finished since she didn't have interest much on it thus there was many plot holes in her memories. Thus I didn't knew the end of it but all along there was too much had happened and to think that Danzo…those guys. The Uchiha's fate and those Jinchuuriki. I sighed softly.

I might not be able to change everything but this was the only way. This might be the cruelest thing and hardest decision I had to make.

I'm sorry Suzuhara Rin.

I'm going to put a burden on you.

But I'm going to prepare you first.

Please forgive me when you know everything.
