This story is a part two of Demon of the Leaf: Naruto used the alias Mikado Tae Shin. Hinata and Naruto have been traveling close to three years and Naruto still doesn't trust the Konoha only Hinata and a select few.
As they tied up Shinata and headed to the Konoha, Shikamaru could not understand why someone would try to attack a Hinata look alike. Maybe they thought she was the real Hinata? But why someone would be disguised as Hinata when she had been a nomadic traveler with Naruto and Jiraiya for the last three years. A look alike Hinata would arouse suspicion in the leaf when she returned.
"Hinata this girl looks like you in every way, her hair is lighter but her eye color is an ocean blue tint, that's unusual for a Hyuuga isn't it asked Naruto?
"Usually the eye color is taken off a true Hyuuga male or female gene, it's rarely taken the color of a non Hyuuga member and this seems to be the case with this Hyuuga if she is one" said Hinata.
"Yeah did you notice that her eye color is the same as mine? Well let's just take her to the ANBU and let's see Tsunade and Sakura and head to the Land of Waves" as Naruto looked ticked off about carrying this Hyuuga to the village.
"Naruto you and Hinata never really stay in the village long, why don't you two just settle down in the village and stop all of that roaming from place to place? This is your village too so why don't you give me a hand to see just who this Hyuuga is. I know that you're curious on her identity just like me so why don't you stay to find out' said Shikamaru?
Naruto smiled, if anything he was curious on his look alike fiancée. As they came to the gate the two chunins greeted Naruto and Hinata with great pleasure. Naruto was extremely shocked about the situation how the two greeted him. He had met them when the Third Hokage had passed, Jiraiya, him and Hinata searched for Tsunade as a replacement for Hokage . Naruto thought about the first time he met Tsunade, he called her an old broken down grandma and she broke his arm, two ribs and his jaw. Naruto started to laugh about what had happen and how much respect he had for her for taking him down just a peg. Out of everyone in the village Iruka and Tsunade was the only one he wrote to besides Shikamaru to tell that he learned new on jutsu.
As they the two jonin helped escort Naruto to the holding cell for the Hyuuga he kept staring at her that made Hinata feel uncomfortable the way he was looking at her. As they dropped her off, Naruto noticed that she had a high temperature.
"You better call Tsunade she burning up and I don't think that she can stay down here and live if you ask me "said Naruto.
"Well do you want to stay down here until I bring down Tsunade or Shizune? Do you think she is a spy too Naruto" asked Shikamaru?
"I don't think she is, I just have this weird feeling that she can be trusted" as Naruto kept staring at her.
"Naruto if you keep staring at her, you will feel my temperature rise and believe me it won't be good for you" as Hinata crossed her arms and looked at Naruto with the intent to kill!
"You know that I only have eyes for you, but don't you feel something about this girl? It's like de'ja vu' " as Naruto looked at Hinata.
"I know, I can't shake this feeling like she is important to me somehow but its mind shattering trying to figure out how" as she looked at the unknown Hyuuga.
As Naruto and Hinata decided to go instead to get Tsunade they left her with Shikamaru, as he looked at her he noticed that her headband had an inscription on the inside as he looked at it, he read it to himself.
To: Shinata
We are proud of you for making jonin; the key to being a great ninja is being a good person.
We love you mom and dad.
"Interesting she's a jonin? She only looks about a year or two older than us? This headband is the genuine Leaf village crest but how did she get this? Who are her parents? Shikamaru looked at the headband and it opened up only more questions without any explanation on why she had the Leaf village crest.
"Shikamaru is this the injured ninja? Why does she have a Leaf ninja headband? Turn her around I want to see who she is" as Tsunade handed Shizune her coat.
"Wait did Naruto tell you anything about her? That damn Naruto, brace yourself Hokage for a shock" as Shikamaru turned her over.
"What the hell it's Hinata, what's going on? After I heal her, bring her to my office tied up with several guards. I don't want to lose her until we see what her plans are, hold her down while I attend to her injuries" as Tsunade hands glowed over Shinata's body.
As Shinata twist and turn from the pain she received from Tsunade's jutsu, the color came back to her face and she was moving just a little bit better. As she finished she told Shikamaru and the guards to bring her up in an hour no matter what kind of condition she's in.
As Shinata woke up feeling quite dizzy and sick from the attack and the portal, she looked dead at Shikamaru.
"Shikamaru what the hell, you're all young and …. Wait the portal" as she stopped mid sentence.
"Okay you and the ones who attack me know me, why? And why do you have my friends face are you trying to be inconspicuous you're failing miserably. Now tell me what are your plans against the Leaf or I go get a specialist and rip it from your mind" as Shikamaru looked at her with a malevolence look.
Shinata never said a word she just looked at Shikamaru hoping to find a way out of the cell.
"Fine we go see the Hokage, she won't be as nice as I was" as Shikamaru got up and headed away from her bed.
"Your Hokage? No, your Hokage won't believe me she will try and keep me here from my mission. You must let me go or everything you love will cease to exist" as Shinata stared at Shikamaru.
"Is that a threat"!
"No but I need your help and I know you won't believe me, and I don't know how to convince you that I'm telling you the truth. Tell me Shikamaru if you knew something was going to happen and everyone thought you was crazy or a traitor how could you convince them you were not" as Shinata voice began to break.
Shikamaru just looked at her and smile, "why don't you start at the beginning and tell me everything".
"I have to tell your Hokage, but you I need your help and once I tell you everything you must help me protect Naruto and Hinata Uzumaki as she looked at Shikamaru.
"Hinata Uzumaki, she isn't married to Naruto? Is that why those Cloud ninjas attacked Naruto and Hinata because she was with him? But Naruto and Hinata have been to the Cloud village numerous times and they never attack them before why start now" as Shikamaru?
"I will explain everything just get Tsunade and no one else, this must stay between the two of you and no one else" as Shinata looked as though she was about to cry.
"I will be right back, make sure you stay still so you don't feel the effect of Tsunade's healing jutsu" as Shikamaru walked out of the cell.
"Well lord Hokage she wants to talk but she has one request, just you and me. She doesn't seem like a menace but I can't say for sure. Let's talk to her and go from there" as Shikamaru followed behind Tsunade.
As they approached the cell, Shinata was looking frightened as they approached. She heard many stories about Tsunade from her father. Her older siblings knew her as grandma Tsunade but she never met her because she had passed when she was only a couple of months old.
"Talk and this had better be good to stop me from doing my paper work? Tell me why do you have a Leaf headband and why did the Cloud village attack you and my ninjas" as Tsunade looked at her with rage".
"They aren't Cloud ninjas per say, they are from the country of the Village of the Dark Cloud. They had seceded from the Cloud village during a civil war" as Shinata started to explain.
"Do you think I'm stupid? Nothing like that ever happened and there is nothing like that going on now. Try again or do I have to get someone to come get it out of your head" as Tsunade walked over to Shinata with fury on being told lies.
"Not yet but from my time it already happened, the Cloud will be torn in war by a madman who gained military support and with their help the country was split in two. The Dark cloud country became a major threat to the four countries. Their leader name was Shou Kanazawa, he was ruthless in every way possible and he had killed three of the five Kages. When he attacked the Leaf with his six sons he was defeated by none other than my father Naruto Uzumaki."
"What you expect us to believe you're from the future and Naruto is your father? Wait who is your mother don't tell me it's Hinata Hyuuga" said Shikamaru?
"Yes she is my mother, now I will tell you the rest of the story, my father succeeded on killing him but he had done it in front of his sons. They swore revenge against all Uzumaki and Hyuuga clan members for their down fall from grace; my father took away their king and trump card of the Dark Cloud village all in one day. Many villages heard of Shou's death and many came to aid my father to stop Shou's family insanity on complete control of the five nations. Once they were defeated my father took away all their control, but many still aided them and my father did not want to be remembered as the Hokage that committed such atrocity against a family and clan. My father was lenient on them until he found out about the attacks on some villages and other countries the Kanazawa clan had committed for unknown reasons at the time. They were stealing museum artifacts one in particular the Tears of the Dragon that allowed us to travel here, but it was only met for eight not nine and that's why I landed here with three others. The other members may come a day a week a month at the most, that's why I must protect my father even if I die, and my village will have a future. You must not tell my father and mother who I am it will mess up a timeline, I thought of away to keep things the same but it's almost impossible, that's why I am glad I am an Uzumaki we make a career out of doing the impossible. Shikamaru I need your help I am not smart as you but if I can do this and defeat the Kanazawa clan and return home safely maybe the future can be protected" as Shinata fidgeted with her fingers just like her mother.
"Get Ino in here, since she doesn't want to tell the truth we will see for ourselves what lies in her head" as Tsunade motioned for Shikamaru to follow her.
As they left the cell, Shikamaru could tell that Tsunade was thoroughly pissed at what was told to her.
"Do you want me to get Ino's father instead" asked Shikamaru? The girl seems to be telling the truth but she could be like you say have a mental disorder or a great liar. But there is that what she said, Tears of the Dragon artifact, it says it could go back in time but no one really believed it, hell all seven pieces could never activate but she said there were eight pieces. Her story is too far fetch to believe but those ninjas they referred to Naruto as the 6th Hokage and another ninja said that he hated me more than anyone alive, how can he know me and my clan? He attacked as if it was personal between us and he said even in this life no one will remember the names of fox and hawk; he was talking about Hinata and Naruto.
Tsunade looked at Shikamaru and could not believe he started to believe the girls story. As Shikamaru told some genin to fetch the dead bodies of the Dark Cloud ninjas, he hope at least studying the bodies would lighten their situation to see who and where Shinata was from.
As Ino walked in with Tsunade and Shikamaru, she didn't understand why all the secrecy on one prisoner. As she looked at the girl she was shocked.
"Why the hell do you have Hinata locked up? What did she do to be locked up" as Ino was about to refuse to help Shikamaru and the Hokage.
"She's not Hinata, we need to find out just who she is can you do it" demanded Tsunade?
As Ino looked at the girl she decided to do as her Hokage wished. As she looked in her head she saw all sorts of images of Naruto and Hinata except they were older maybe in their fifties, she saw Shinata's two older brothers and two older sisters how they help her trained to be a ninja. Ino saw in Shinata's mind just how powerful Naruto became and she seen Shikamaru consoling Shinata on how to be a better ninja, she saw six very strong ninjas that were blood thirsty as they were cruel. Ino saw a portal opening up and all nine of them screaming in the cyclone portal spinning. Ino jump back away from Shinata in a cold sweat when she saw a young Naruto and Hinata asking if she was alright.
"I don't believe it! She is from the future and the fifth child of Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuuga. She is trying to stop a clan called the Kazanawa from killing Naruto, the mission she was given was to return one ninja back to base but she was captured and the mission went bad from there on to now" as Ino looked shock from the girl memories.
"Bull shit, is Naruto and Hinata still here? I figured if she could fake the memories I will just take some of her blood and give a D.N.A. test to help support my theory she is a liar and that she is a threat.
"No she is who she says she is, by looking into her mind I found the extension of her soul, she can't lie about that, it was genuine" as Ino looked at Shinata in amazement.
As Tsunade took her blood, she went upstairs to take Naruto's and Hinata's as well. Although Naruto and Hinata thought that was weird they kept it to themselves. As Shikamaru looked at the door he saw the genin he sent out to collect the Dark Cloud ninja bodies. The genin told Shikamaru that there were no bodies located by the battle site and that the tracks headed away from the village.
"Damn, it wasn't poison it just replicated death appearance to fool us, make sure you watch Naruto and Hinata until I give the order to cease, don't leave their sides no matter what if someone strange appears run and get help" as Shikamaru ran to tell the Hokage about what had happen.
As he approached her office door he heard Tsunade and Shizune talking, as he knocked he was invited in. Shikamaru did not know where to begin on the disappearance of the enemies and where to look for them. As he looked into the Hokage face he seen she had an unusual perplexed look that he never saw from her.
"What is it he asked"?
"I did the test personally three times and each time it says that the girl is the daughter of Naruto and Hinata, this just can't be possible. The girl was telling the truth, I keep thinking of other scenarios for this girl but each one seems even more unlikely as the other. Tell me, the bodies of the ninjas you fought did you find anything on them to solve this enigma" asked Tsunade?
"The test came back that she is the daughter of the two" asked Shikamaru now was looking perplex?
As she nodded yes on the outcome of the test.
"More bad news, the bodies are gone but the genin said that the tracks headed away from the village. I seen Naruto hit that ninja with a Rasengan full blast he should be dead or seriously injured, he would be in no shape to travel, so should I send out a tracking squad or the ANBU" asked Shikamaru?
"No we don't know what type of ninjas they are, let the girl out of the cell but keep an eye on her she seems to trust you. Get as much information as you can from her on these so called time traveling ninjas. Don't tell Naruto or Hinata about this situation just yet and don't mention anything about Shinata's claim on being their child" as she escorted Shikamaru out of the office.
"Damn Naruto just came back and I'm already being put to work on mission, man what a drag" as he searched for his friends.
