Sakura held tightly to her son as Sasuke and Naruto scanned the area of the Inuzuka Compound. She needed to talk to Tsume about what happened with Koga and Kiba but first she needed to make sure everything was safe. No way was she walking into a trap with her son and his companion. Both boys were too important to her to risk their lives like that. They couldn't defend themselves like she and the others could, and while she was worried about Kiba she knew he could handle himself if things were bad. "Well?" she questioned, green eyes trying to scan the area herself but she didn't see anything unusual. It looked exactly as it did this morning when she left to see Naruto in his office.
"I'm not picking up any chakra belonging to the enemy, only those that I always sense when I come here." Sasuke said and Sakura had to stop herself. It wasn't often the Uchiha visited her, ninety-five percent of it was because of her husband's jealously that he was just there to steal her away and the other five percent was because of training and missions.
"So no Ashitare in sight?" she asked, wanting to be absolutely sure that her son was safe, at least for the time being.
Sasuke shook his head, clearing the sharingan from his eyes. "So far, not sign of him."
"Same here," Naruto was focusing all his chakra into the air. "I'm not picking up on anything weird. In fact I don't sense any signs of the enemies chakra in the entire village." he crossed his arms, a frown on his whiskered face. If there was an enemy out there it bothered him that he couldn't find him.
"Well if he's anything like Koga said than he probably made himself disappear like Kiba and the others." That was another reason why needed to see Tsume. Not only to understand more about this evil creature but to learn why she was never told about him when she has been part of the Inuzuka clan for five years now.
"Seems that way." Sasuke was the first to enter the house, Sakura in the middle and Naruto behind them.
"Sakura? Is that you?" Just as they entered the home they were greeted by Tsume and her companion. "What are you doing back so early and with these guys?" while her mother-in-law held no ill feelings towards her old teammates, she knew exactly how her son felt and she wanted to see the fireworks that would happen when Kiba learned they followed her home.
"We need to talk." even after she entered the house she did not put her son done, nor did Koga let go of his mother. Both knew that the danger was still out there and a part of their family was already missing, neither of them wanted to lose another. "What can you tell me about an Inuzuka named Ashitare?" her green eyes held the dark strong black slits that widen in shock.
"How do you...?" she was honestly surprised, something the woman never is.
"Because that beast just attacked my family and I want to know why the hell I was never told about this?" she was the Alpha now, maybe only by marriage to Kiba but it was her job to control the clan and how could see call herself a real leader if she was being withheld information.
Tsume looked down at Kuromaru and both seemed to sigh. "I see that monster has returned," she motioned for them to join her in the living room, Kuromaru leaving them for only a moment to return with an old leather bound book in his mouth. She sat in a chair directly in front of them, flipping through the old book. "In this is the tale of Ashitare. Our clans leader during the First Great Shinobi War," she handed Sakura the book, Koga and Kiiromaru sitting in her lap and Sasuke and Naruto looking over her shoulders. "After the fighting was over Ashitare wanted our clan to take over at the leaders of the village. Our clan opposed the idea, believing peace and compromise was the answer but in secret Ashitare trained with his companion, using forbidden jutsus to make his body stronger."
"Urgh! Not again," Naruto slapped his forehead. "I thought we were done with all the crazy forbidden jutsu crap." They had enough to last them a life time when it came to fighting Orochimaru, Kabuto, and Madara.
"Sadly no. Ashitare was determined to make our clan the rulers of the Leaf but when a jutsu that was supposed to be used to combine his and his companions strength into one attack failed, he became the monster that we was on the inside that he was on the outside," Tsume folded her hands together, resting her chin on top of them. "Both his body and the body of his companion combined together and created the very same monster you saw today," Sakura couldn't help but gulp at this information and by the way Koga hugged her stomach said he was just as freaked out. "After our clans' elders found out what he had done they sealed his body away in stone, hiding him in the mountains in the hopes that he would be erased from history."
"But someone found out about him and released him." Sakura could think of a number of people that hated them enough to release such a vicious monster loose but most were either dead or in prison.
"It would seem that way," Tsume grabbed the book back. "I'm not sure how it happened but I'll alert the elders of what's happened and find a way to seal him off again."
"What about his powers?" Naruto asked. "I mean if he was using forbidden jutsus then he must have some weird powers like Orochimaru had." he made a good point. Forbidden jutsus were complicated and very dangerous, it was better for them to know everything about their enemy and its power before they went off to fight.
"I'm not really sure," Tsume looked down at the book once more. "It was never said what his powers were, our clan sealed him away before he could use so no one knew what exactly he had mastered," her answer made then sigh. Now things were much harder now. They had no way of knowing what power their enemy had and how to fight against it. "Although..." they held their breathes. "My great grandfather was only a pup himself when Ashitare was sealed but he said that his father had mentioned something about messing with a justu that allowed him to use space-time continuum."
Sakura and Sasuke gasped, their minds going through a million thoughts at this new information. Things had gotten much worse for them. "Huh? What's that?" Only Naruto didn't understand and they weren't surprised.
"It means he can control things like time travel. He can go into the past or the future and do whatever he wants to the timeline," Sakura ran her hand through Koga's short messy brown hair. "I bet that's what happened to Kiba and the others."
"Mom," Koga looked up at his mother, eyes full of curiosity and hope. "Does this mean you know how to get dad back?" he asked eagerly. He wanted his father back just as much as Sakura did.
"Not yet, but soon." she kissed his forehead, reassuring him that she would get everything back to normal.
"Don't worry, we'll get your dad and everyone else back in no time." Naruto joined in ruffling Koga's hair and the little Inuzuka heir laughed.
"Yeah, whatever." even if Naruto wasn't his favorite, Koga still trusted him to help rescue his father and friends. After all he was the Hokage so that meant he had to be strong.
Sakura smiled down at her son and kissed his forehead again. "Koga, wait here for a moment." she set him and Kiiromaru down on the couch and made her way out of the room.
"Where are you going?" Koga asked, and Naruto and Sasuke wondered the same. They expected her to stay by her son's side until they found Kiba, so her leaving was a little strange.
"I just need to get something." She left with a wink to the three boys and headed somewhere in the Inuzuka Compound.
"So..." she was only gone for a moment and it was already awkward.
"Oh boy," Tsume sighed and so did Kuromaru. "Here," she tossed the book over to Sasuke. "Normally I would never give away Inuzuka history to outsiders but you may need this to reverse whatever jutsu he did. The book doesn't go into exact details but it has a few notes about what he was doing."
"Thanks, this will help us a lot." Sasuke replied, already flipping through the pages of the book.
"Hey, I'm still confused about something," Naruto crossed his arms and leaned back into the couch. "If this guy is such a danger then why wasn't there any information about him in the Hokage files?" even if it is clan business the Hokage is supposed to know everything that goes on in the clan that could affect the village.
"That's what I was wondering," Sakura returned, her hands tying her red Leaf Village headband around her head just like she use to wear.
"Been a while since you wore that." Sasuke commented, looking up only briefly.
"Yeah, it's been too long!" Naruto grinned. He knew why Sakura had stopped taking missions but he had missed seeing her in action.
"Whoa..." Koga stared in awe at his mother. He has seen her leaf headband before but never has he seen her wear it, only in picture. "You look cool mom!" he grinned himself and Kiiromaru sent his barks of approval over.
Sakura smiled at her son. "Thank you." she was truly blessed to have such a wonderful child.
"I see you're ready for anything." Tsume said, walking over to her daughter-in-law and stared at the leaf symbol that rested on her pink head. "Go show that beast what you're made of."
"I will, but first I want to know why I was never informed about him. I have been a member of this clan the moment Kiba marked me and no once was I ever notified about Ashitare." Sakura wanted to know why she was never told about this man when she was an official Inuzuka.
Tsume shrugged. "It was decided a long time ago by the elders that sealed Ashitare away. Only those born into this clan may know of his existences. Even the Hokage may not know unless he is Inuzuka born."
"So only those born into the clan can know about him." Sasuke closed the book, he had seen enough.
"Exactly." Tsume nodded her head.
"So how come I didn't know about him either?" Koga asked and Kiiromaru barked, also wondering why he was not told either.
"You're not old enough yet, pup." Tsume flicked her grandson's forehead. "Kiba was going to tell you when you were ten. The same age he was when I told him." she put her hands on her hips. She had wanted Koga to be a little older when he found out about Ashitare, mostly because young Inuzukas were often too quick to attack. She was worried if Koga saw him he would try and fight the man.
"That still doesn't explain why Ashitare wanted Koga." Sakura was determined to find out why that beast wanted her son so badly and when she did she would do everything in her power to keep him away.
"That I don't know. I would assume it would be something to do with gaining power but I don't understand how this little brat would help." She gestured over to her grandson who pouted at being called a brat.
"I might," Sasuke flipped open to one page of the book and read the contents of it. "Ashitare was sealed in stone, making his body become part of it very stone that kept him prisoner. Even though he is free now his body is still part stone, if he ever wants to return his body to normal he must have the body of a fresh young Inuzuka with great charka and skills."
"A fresh Inuzuka." Sakura did not like how that sounded. "So he'll need to make Koga apart of his body to return to normal?"
"Basically." Sasuke shut the book and handed it back to Tsume. "I think I know of a way to return him back to stone but I don't know yet how to get the others back."
"How come?" Naruto asked.
"Because I don't have the Inu-Ruby." Sasuke replied.
"The what?" Sakura never heard of that before and by the look Tsume wore said neither had she.
"According to the book the only way Ashitare could use the time justu was to remove one of his claws, making it become the Inu-Ruby and the only way to return to the original timeline." Sasuke explained to them. He had a headache already and so far they hadn't done anything yet. "I searched all over the field where Ashitare first appeared and sent the others away but I didn't see any ruby."
"So what does that mean?" Naruto wasn't liking where this was going. "Does Ashitare have the ruby then?"
"Or it's with Kiba and the others." Sakura hoped it was with them.
"If so then they need to smash it in the exact spot where they landed." Sasuke ran one hand through his hair.
"So that means we need to find Ashitare." Naruto was already up and ready to fight.
"Looks that way." Sasuke was right behind him.
"Right." Sakura was going to find that man if it was the last thing she did.
"Wait," Koga and Kiiromaru both grabbed Sakura's legs. "We're going with you."
"Koga..." Sakura knelt down to her son's level. "It's too dangerous. It's better if you stay with your grandmother." she put her hands on his shoulders, trying to convince him it was better to stay home.
"No, I don't care," he shook his head and Kiiromaru was barking right with him. "I wanna find dad too and I don't want to lose you either mom." he was trying to stay strong but his eyes were starting to shine with unshed tears. He was scared of losing both his parents and being left all alone.
Sakura felt her heartbreaking at her son's expression and pulled both him and his companion into her arms. "You'll never lose me. Both your father and I will always be with you."
"Such a lovely moment," they froze when they heard his voice, a chill running down their spines and Sakura held both boys even closer. No way was she going to let him have her son. "Too bad it has to end." Ashitare crashed through the roof of the compound, his claws slicing at Sakura, Koga, and Kiiromaru. Just like Kiba before they cried out and disappeared.
"No!" Naruto and Sasuke ran at them but Ashitare was faster and sliced the both, making them disappear as well.
"It's time I fulfill my destiny!" He slashed his own body, making himself disappear as well and followed after his prize.
"So...you're telling me you're all from the future?" Tsunade felt her face twitch as she saw Mirai Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Shikamaru, and Akamaru all in front of her desk. "Just what the hell is this?" she demanded, nearly breaking her desk in two.
"It's a long story," Mirai Kiba rubbed the back of his head. "You see we were transported to the past by an enemy called Ashitare, a member of the Inuzuka clan that was sealed away after the first war and now he's back for revenge." he summed it all up but made sure to leave out the part about his son. Even is this woman was Sakura's master and supported their relationship, he didn't want to risk losing his future. The less everyone knew the better.
"And why exactly is this the first time I'm hearing about this man?" Tsunade's hands were balled into fists, both hands were turning white and her veins were sticking out.
"Because only those born into our clan can know. If you're not Inuzuka blood you're not allowed too." Mirai Kiba explained.
"Are you kidding me?" Tsunade punched him right in the face, making him fly out of her office and crashing into the hallway. "I'm the Hokage! I should know if there is a dangerous monster living in the forest of my own village!" she growled, ready to pound more into the future Inuzuka.
"Lady Tsuande!" Shizune shrieked. "Don't kill the poor boy." she ran over to heal Mirai Kiba, she was sure he must have broken something.
"Ow!" Surprisingly he got right back on his feet, only rubbing his cheek that was swollen and slightly red. "You didn't have to hit me so hard." He frowned, one fang sticking out.
"You're...you're not hurt?" Both Shizune and Tsuande gasped. Everyone who took a punch from Tsunade, one the three great Sanin, was always left with something broken.
"Oh yeah," Mirai Kiba just shrugged it off. "I'm used to it." he grinned and his friends all groaned.
"Who would have thought taking a beating from Sakura would make him resistant to Tsunade's punches." MiraiShikamaru sighed, muttering a soft "troublesome" under his breath.
"Well I suppose it'll help in battle." Mirai Hinata thought, trying to see the bright side in it all.
"Could you consider that an advantage or disadvantage?" Mirai Shino wondered, fixing his glasses. He was used to seeing Kiba get punched. After all he married a woman who's temper rivaled that of Tsunade.
"Used to it?" Shizune was confused and Tsuande just raised one eyebrow but decided they had other things to worry about. "Anyways," she cleared her throat, getting everyone's attention back on her. "Until we have a better understanding of the situation I want you all to remain out of site from the other villagers. Stay close to your past selves incase this Ashitare tries to target them, and bring everyone who knows your here out into one of the fields. I don't care where but just stay out of sight." it was an order from the Hokage and the obeyed.
"Yes ma'am." The four left her office, making sure no one saw them and had everyone move on to one of the training fields. They needed to stay in the covers of the trees in case anyone showed up and they needed to hide themselves.
"So what should we do now?" Naruto asked, both arms crossed behind his head as they all stood in the field.
"I guess we should try and figure out how to get them home." Sakura replied.
"But we can't do that until we know what jutsu the enemy used." Sasuke reminded them.
"Until then it looks like we're stuck here." Mirai Shikamaru sighed, looking up at the clouds and trying to come up with a solution to help them get home.
"It's there something we can do?" Ino asked, looking at her future teammate.
Mirai Shikamaru shook his head. "It sucks but it's up to Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto from our time to try and figure a way to help us," he shoved his hands inside his pockets and sighed. "And unless they suddenly fall out of the sky I doubt we'll be leaving anytime soon.
"Ahhh!" Cries from above alerted them something was coming and soon enough a giant portal opened up in the sky, making the future Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Koga, and Kiiromaru all fall out and land on Shikamaru.
"Whoa, looks like you spoke to soon there man." Kiba and Naruto laughed as Mirai Shikamaru was under his three friends that just fell on him.
"Ow...!" Mirai Shikamaru as he felt the weight of his three friends all crash down on him.
"I'm really sorry about that Shikamaru." Mirai Sakura quickly apologized and got off him, her son and companion still in her arms.
"Koga! Sakura!" Mirai Kiba and Akamaru ran over to their family, relief flooded over them at seeing them alive and well.
"Dad!" Koga jumped into his father's arms and Kiiromaru danced around Akamaru, barking happily.
"I'm so glad you're alright," Kiba smiled into his son's hair, holding out his hand out for Sakura to take and help her up. "Both of you." he was so glad to see his wife and son.
"What was that?" Shino raised one eyebrow behind his shades.
"Did he just say...?" Chouji nearly dropped his bag of chips.
"Dad!" Kiba gasped, mouth and eyes gasping as they all looked at Koga. Akamaru doing the same to the tail wagging Kiiromaru.
"Whoa! So cool!" Naruto was bouncing all around his future self in pure joy. "I did it! I'm Hokage! I became the Hokage!" he shouted up into the sky, his excitement and happiness was literally leaking out of him and he was ready to release a giant burst of his rasengan in joy.
"Was I really like that?" Mirai Naruto almost couldn't believe he was that hyper. He knew Hokage was his dream, it had been for as long as he could remember, but he didn't recall himself being so...annoying.
"Sasuke!" Sakura and Ino nearly fell over when they saw Mirai Sasuke, their eyes became giant pink hearts and drool started pooling out of their mouths. They liked very much the future Sasuke.
"Wonderful." Mirai Kiba let out a low growl and looked over at his wife who was giving him a weak smile.
"I'm never going to hear the end of this." Mirai Sakura could already hear the long list of complaints that would come once they returned home. Kiba hated her feelings for Sasuke and seeing them up close and personal all over again was not doing him, or her, any good. "I can't help it. I don't know any better and I haven't yet realized what a great guy you are." she tried to give him an encouraging compliment but by the annoyed huff said it hadn't helped.
"This is got a lot more complicated." Mirai Shino was afraid this would happen.
"Great, just great." Mirai Shikamaru groaned as Mirai Naruto and Hinata helped him up. "We were trying to avoid this but it looks like the cat is out of the bag." he rubbed his neck, he was still sore from being landed on.
"So now what do we do?" Mirai Hinata asked, worried about how this situation would turn out.
"Nothing we can do," Mirai Sasuke told them. "What's done is done. Now is not to focus on that."
"Sasuke's right," Mirai Sakura added. "We need to concentrate on getting back home.
"You know how?" Mirai Shino questioned.
"Yep," Mirai Naruto grinned. "We made sure to find out all we needed to about this Ashitare and now we know how to beat this guy!"
"Ok, so what do we do?" Mirai Kiba asked, shifting his son in his arms to hold him better.
"First we need to find something," Mirai Sakura looked at her husband. "Did you happen to see a red ruby at all when you were transported here?" she asked him. They needed to get that ruby before Ashitare did and get back to their own time.
Mirai Kiba reached into his front left pocket. "You mean this?" he showed her the stone they had found earlier.
"Yes, that's it!" Mirai Sakura was so glad he had it and gave a sigh of relief. "Now we just need to break this in the spot where you guys landed and we can go home."
"That's back in town and Tsunade wants us to remain hidden." Mirai Hinata told them of the Hokage's orders.
"Who cares," Mirai Naruto gave a sly grin. "I don't have to listen to grandma Tsuande anymore since I'm the Hokage of the village. Besides if anything I can just use the Nine-Tailed...!" Mirai Sasuke and Sakura shut him up before he could continue.
"You idiot are you trying to reveal everything about the future!" Mirai Sakura growled at the blonde. Her hand over his mouth to keep any secrets from leaking out. In this time period no one knows that he has the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon inside him.
"You never know when to keep your big mouth shut." Mirai Sasuke growled himself. His own hand over the blonde's big mouth and he was thinking of using his Sharingan to force him not to reveal anymore secrets.
"Hey guys?" Mirai Shino called their attention. "I don't think they're listening." he gestured over to their past selves and every pair of eyes were looking at Mirai Kiba and Koga.
"What?" Mirai Kiba didn't understand why they all looked at him like he had two heads.
"You're...I'm...a dad?" Kiba felt ready to fall over.
"Oh yeah, I am." Mirai Kiba just grinned and ruffled his son's hair.
"But you're so young." Hinata looked up at the man. "How old are you anyways?"
"Twenty-three." he gave them his age.
"So you would of have him when you were eighteen." Shikamaru did the math easily in his head.
"Yep." Mirai Kiba confirmed it. "So what?" he didn't see a problem then and he still doesn't.
"Don't you think having a child at that age is too early?" Chouji asked him.
"No, it's the normal age for an Inuzuka male to mate and marry." Mirai Kiba grinned and Mirai Sakura rolled her eyes. That was the answer he gave her when she told him she was pregnant. "I still say he got me pregnant on purpose." he had yet to confess but she knew he would tell her one day.
"So who's my mate?" Kiba asked his future self and the seven future Shinobi froze over. It's not like they could tell him, that would mess up the timeline, but they knew if they gave him no answer than he would try his hardest to find out and just cause them even more problems. "I must have marked her the mother explained I had too. So is she an Inuzuka or someone outside the clan." Mirai Kiba did miss the way past Kiba's eyes sent a quick glance to the past Sakura, and neither did his future friends. In this time no one knew of Kiba's crush on Sakura but it's common knowledge in their future.
"Well she's not an Inuzuka but I can't say much more," Mirai Kiba did not miss his past selves eyes shine with hope but he still frowned. "Look I want to tell you but that might risk the future and trust me, you do want this future to come true." he told himself, mind flashing back to all the moments he spent with Sakura as his girlfriend, wife, and mother of his child.
Kiba sighed but didn't argue. "Fine."
Mirai Sasuke decided it was time they shifted their focus onto other matters. "Now that that is all settled, I say we come up with a way to finish off Ashitare before he does anymore damage to our future." it was bad enough they were in the past and revealing future information, they didn't need anything else getting out.
"You're so right, Sasuke." Sakura and Ino swooned over him, wherever he went they followed, whatever he said they hung onto every word, and were so involved in his looks that they didn't even think to fight over him.
Mirai Sakura blushed at how stupid her past self was acting. "Was I really that bad?" It was no wonder Kiba got so upset every time he thought about her old crush on the Uchiha. She was so ridiculous that it even annoyed herself. "Um...? Don't you think we should focus on fighting the enemy?" she reminded her past but it was no use. Sakura and Ino were under the Uchiha and nothing would break it.
"Hey guys?" Mirai Naruto called their attention, one hand holding back his past self from jumping on his back to get a closer look at his Hokage robe. "Where is Ashitare? I thought he was right behind us?"
They all jumped to attention at this, every pair of eyes scanning the area for the signs of Ashitare. Mirai Team Seven was attacked by Ashitare at the compound and he had to see Koga get taken with his mother, so why was he not with them in the field? Could he still be in the future waiting for them? Or was he lurking in the shadows, watching them, and waiting to strike.
"We need to be careful," Mirai Sasuke had his sharingan activated and was already searching for the enemy's chakra signs. "This guy is dangerous. His speed and strength are impressive so be on your guard."
Mirai Kiba scoffed. "You don't have to tell me twice." taking careful steps he handed his son back to Sakura, making sure Koga was safely in his mother's arms. He was going to protect him this time, both his wife and son and nothing would stop him. "You keep an eye on him and I'll beat this creep into a pile of dust." he grinned at his family, chakra already flowing into his nose and sniffing the air for the monster's scent.
"I will." Mirai Sakura held tightly to her son and Koga held tight to his mother. They had to be careful now, not knowing where their enemy was is dangerous and one wrong move could mean the end for them.
"Hey, how come the little guy seems so close to Sakura?" Kiba asked his future self before sniffing the air around them. "And how come he smells so much like her? No way is that just from him holding onto her." he was starting to put two and two together.
"Uh...?" neither knew what they were supposed to say.
"Boy! I found you!" Whether they could call this luck or not, Ashitare jumped down in front of the giant group. Unknowingly saving them from revealing the truth about their future. "I shall absorb you and make your power mine and then I will take this village as my own!" he howled.
"Sakura, you and Koga move back." Mirai Sasuke commanded her, his eyes already working on using a genjutsu.
"That goes for you all as well." Mirai Shikamaru told the rookie nine group and they didn't argue. With Mirai Sakura leading them and Mirai Hinata going with them to help guard they moved out of the way of the upcoming fight. "Man, this is really troublesome."
"You got that right." Mirai Shino agreed, already a wave of bugs being released from his body. "But I suppose we should finish this before it gets out of hand." he added.
"Then I'll start us off." Mirai Naruto already had a shadow-clone out and made his rasengan, his attack aimed for dead center of Ashitare.
"That won't work," Ashitare was fast, too fast for Naruto to even make contact and his attack only did damage to the ground. "You'll have to be faster than that." he jumped over to the others. Mirai Shikamaru trying to use his shadow to pin him down but he jumped on the shadow-user, making his body collide with the dirt and stopping the jutsu. Mirai Shino tried sucking up his chakra but Ashitare opened up another portal and sent the insects to another time, thus leaving the bud-nin opening for an attack. After sending him flying back into a tree, Mirai Sasuke tried his sharingan but Ashitare used a dirty trick and threw dirt into his sensitive eyes. The Uchiha cried out, desperately trying to rub the dirt out so he could fight but the beast was much too fast for him and with one kick had him head face first into Mirai Naruto and knock them both away from the battle.
"Wolf Fang Over Fang!" Mirai Kiba and Akamaru refused to be taken down so easily and put everything they hand into their attack, speed at full power and made direct contact with Ashitare. "I won't let you hurt my son!" A two-headed wolf like Akamaru growled, drool made of acid leaking out of his mouth and melting the earth beneath.
"You...!" Ashitare growled, his left arm was cracked and starting to fall off. His body was shattering with every attack that he was hit with and if they hit him enough he would break. "You'll pay for that!" his eyes glowed a bright red from his rage. "I may not be able to match your speed but I have other ways of getting around." he slashed the ground with one swipe and disappeared from their sight.
"Where'd he go?" Mirai Shikamaru searched for him but so far there were no signs of him anywhere.
Mirai Sakura didn't like any of this and held tighter to her son. He would not take Koga from her, even if it means he has to kill her she would still protect her child. She was not going to have him taken away from her so with skills only she could do she poured her chakra throughout her body, making it become super sensitive and aware to everything around her.
She found Ashitare but she also discovered something else. "Kiba!" she called to her husband, needing to tell him about this new information she just learned.
"Woman!" Too late. Ashitare appeared in front of her and Mirai Hinata, his feet knocking the Hyuga woman away and claws ready to slash at her and send her away to a different time and leave her son alone and unprotected.
"No!" in the last moment she summoned enough chakra to put up a barrier around her to stop her from disappearing but the claws still sliced through her skin, making her cry out in pain and have blood ooze out of her body.
"Sakura!" Mirai Kiba jumped to help his wife, effectively knocking Ashitare away with one attack. "Are you alright?" he and Akamaru returned to their normal form as he helped her stand back up.
"I'm fine," Mirai Sakura groaned, the pain in her arm had hurt but if she was right it would soon disappear.
"You need help," Mirai Kiba was frantic, the smell of his wife's blood was making him become panicked and tense. "We gotta get you to a doctor and -" he was silenced but her putting one finger to his mouth.
"Just watch." she whispered and had them all turn their attention to her bleeding arm. In a flash the wound glowed green and before they could blink was healed.
"But how...?" Mirai Kiba couldn't believe what he just saw.
"When a medical ninja becomes pregnant the baby inside them controls the chakra of its pregnant. Should the parent become injured the baby will use their parent's chakra to heal them." she explained what she had been told when she first became pregnant with Koga.
"So that means... you're pregnant?" Mirai Kiba wasn't sure if he should be happy or concerned about learning his wife was having another child. "Man, you had to pick the worst time to tell me." he figured he stay in the middle. It was a great thing to know they were having another child but to find out during a fight was not the greatest thing.
"Wait a minute?" Sakura herself was not putting two and two together. "Are you two, together?" she looked at her future self and Kiba's. Now things were starting to make sense.
"Seriously? I end up with Sakura!" Kiba was ready to jump up and scream in joy. He was going to end up marrying and fathering children with his long time crush. "This is so great!" he sent a giant grin over to his future wife and saw her look was a cross between confusion, a little spec disappointment, and what looked like a shine of happiness. "Ok, so I'm not her dream guy like Sasuke apparently but she marries me so it only proves that she'll see me as the great guy that I am." he felt his body begin to shake in giddiness.
"Wow, we suck at keeping this future thing a secret." Mirai Kiba commented and Mirai Sakura agreed with him. All in a matter of minutes they revealed everything about themselves and their futures without even meaning too.
"Woman," Ashitare grabbed their attention back. "You are quite an exceptional person. Not ever have I seen someone like yourself perform the abilities that you seem to have," he grinned ear to ear, his razor teeth shining in the sunlight. "If I absorb your body not only will I be getting your powers but the young mutt inside you." he had a new goal, Sakura and her unborn child.
Mirai Kiba growled, jumping in front of his wife to protect her and his new child. "Over my dead body."
"As you wish!" Ashitare jumped into action and so did Mirai Kiba. Both Inuzukas battled it out, their claws, teeth, and chakras clashing against their enemies. They were determined to win this fight and it didn't look like either would be giving up any time soon.
"Kiba needs help," only Mirai Sakura could track her husband's movements without the help of a Kekkei Genkai. She needed to help him end this battle before it ended badly for them, even now he was beginning to slow down but Ashitare was still going strong. His body was made of stone so he felt no aching muscles or broken bones or anything regular humans felt. "Hold him for a moment." she handed Mirai Hinata her son and Kiiromaru and ran off to help. She would only have chakra in her to do one attack without it doing harm to her or the baby but one attack was all she needed.
"Kiba!" she called to her husband, only a few feet away from him as he held off Ashitare as he tried to literally bite off his face. "I'm leaving you for Sasuke!" she declared and everyone let out their cries of disbelief.
"What?" Mirai Kiba felt his body lose all energy and fell to the ground. His head was spinning and his heart felt like it was being stabbed with a knife and slowing breaking into a million tiny painful pieces.
"Just kidding!" She had to act fast so with a burst of chakra into her hands and feet, Mirai Sakura jumped over the fallen heartbroken form of her husband and aimed a chakra enhanced fist directly into Ashitare's center. "Naruto, do it now!" she called to her former teammate to finish things off for them.
"You got it!" With another shadow clone out he made a second rasengan and with this officially destroyed the crumbling body of Ashitare, completely wiping him out of their lives for good.
"We won?" Mirai Kiba asked with a shaky breath as his wife helped him up. He was still recovering from the shock of the news Sakura delivered to him. Even if it was fake it still nearly killed him inside.
"Yes, we won." Mirai Sakura went up to kiss her husband. Everyone knew about them so there was no reason to hide it anymore.
"Hold it," strangely he stopped her. "What the hell was that back there with leaving me for Uchiha?" he all but growled. He was not amused with what she had done.
Mirai Sakura gave a weak laugh. "Well I couldn't find an opening and I didn't want to hit you with my attack so I did the only thing that I knew would make you go down."
"Do you realize you almost killed me?" Mirai Kiba frowned and crossed his arms in discomfort. He had told Sakura before that Inuzukas mate for life and if one mate leaves the other slowly dies on the inside before dying on the outside as well.
"I didn't mean it," she wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing his pouting face. "I love you and I'll never leave you." that brought a smile to his face, hands on her hips and pulled her into a deep kiss just for good measure and to reassure him that she wouldn't leave him.
"You guys do know we have an audience." Mirai Sasuke reminded them and the couple pulled apart. They looked on and saw all eyes were on them and some looked ready to fall out of their heads.
"Stupid Uchiha. Always ruining everything." Mirai Kiba gave a low whine, holding tight to his wife. "Just hurry up and make them forget everything. I know you can do that." he wanted to get this over with so he could bring his Sakura home and pamper her all over again, and finally get a nice deep smell of his future child. He couldn't do it with some many people around, especially since Sakura seemed only a week or some pregnant. He could only smell a slight change in her scent but it was enough to tell him that she was indeed pregnant and it was his.
"Whatever." Mirai Sasuke grumbled, doing a few hands signs and in a matter of minutes had everyone of the rookie nine fall to the ground, sound asleep and slowly had their memories wiped of everything that took place.
"Good, now let's home and get some ramen!" Mirai Naruto cheered, throwing one arm up in the air, and everyone hit him on the head.
Sakura sighed in content as she laid in her bed, her back resting against the headboard as Kiba laid his head on her stomach. "You know you won't be feeling any kicks for some time." she ran her hands through his brown locks.
"I know, but I like listening to her." Kiba kissed her flat stomach that with time would become round and start showing more signs that she was with child, his child.
"Her?" Sakura raised a thin eyebrow.
"I can tell. We're going to have a daughter," he picked his head up enough to kiss her on her smiling pick lips. "And she's going to be just like her wonderful mother."
Sakura eagerly returned the kiss and leaned her forehead against his. "How can you be so sure?" she didn't doubt him. He said the same thing about Koga and he had been right then and she had a feeling he was right now.
"I just am." He replied, placing quick kisses over her beautiful face.
Sakura laughed at this and wrapped her arms around his warm body, she had missed him all day and now she just wanted to be held. "Why is it every kid we have seems to be unexpected?"
Kiba laid them down on their sides, he face buried into her hair and her face buried into the crook of his neck. "Cause they're like us," he grabbed her small hand, one finger writing his clans name in the center of her palm. "An unexpected couple, an unexpected love, and unexpected but welcome children."
"I love you." Sakura could only smile.
"I love you too." Kiba was right with her, smiling at the thought of his new daughter that was indeed unexpected like her older brother but was welcomed to join their loving family.
END.
