I Don't own Naruto.

Edited!

Hinata ran around behind the enemy, her eyes locked on his every movement, she was here with Naruto and Sakura, they were protecting the Hokage. This man had appeared from nowhere and claimed to know the Hokage but then he had tried to poison her. She was trying to create the antidote for the poison that he had spilled so he can't use it on them. Naruto managed to get close to him but then he jumped back and landed behind Hinata who spun swiftly on her heel and she shoved her flat chakra enhanced palm into his gut.

He stumbled back as Hinata continued her assault. He managed to get a good hit on her and she hit the ground and rolled onto her side. She grunted as she looked up at the person rushing for her. She forced herself back up just enough to watch as the black orb came flying at her. "Go back to where you belong, Hinata. Save them." The cloaked man said and her eyes went wide as Naruto and Sakuransent a combined chakra RasenShuriken right into him and his image was obliterated from view. She had to admit the two had become a good pair over the years in fighting style alone.

Hinata couldn't move as the orb collided with her chest. "Naruto-kun…" she managed and the orb expanded and absorbed her. "Hinata-chan!" he yelled at the top of his lungs as he watched her vanish before his eyes. He ran over and punched the ground angrily. "Where could he have sent her? What… what could have happened to her?" Naruto asked as his tears continued to fall. Tsunade walked over and crouched beside him. "Naruto… please be patient… There may be a way to fix this…" Tsunade said and his head jerked up at her.

"You mean… maybe there is a way to reverse this and get her back?" he asked and she shrugged lightly. She honestly didn't know the answer to that. "I don't know… there might be, but then again there may not be a way to fix this… but that poison is not one to be taken lightly. We need to get back to konoha." Tsunade said and he nodded. They had been over at the Tanzaku town, retrieving the Hokage from her weekly escape when they had been ambushed by the person.

Sasuke walked up to them the moment they entered the village and Naruto looked at him in confusion. The man usually wasn't one to be a welcoming committee. "I was in the library since I received the hawk's message… There is no jutsu that can reverse this… but… You all may want to see this…" he said and they walked over. He opened the massive book and turned it towards them. "There is a way to create an antidote for the poison… because… apparently this has happened before." Sasuke said and he showed them the book he had been reading on. Their eyes went wide as they looked at the picture in the book. "That's…"

"Hinata and the first and second Hokage. A man used this poison on the second and she saved him by creating an antidote. Apparently, this poison gives the impression of death, but they aren't really dead their heart just slows down along with their breathing, until eventually they do die." Sasuke said and Tsunade frowned. Tsunade then went through the book to figure out what she could do to save Hinata, but soon enough… She realized Sasuke was right and nothing could be done to save her, as of right now that was.

In the place Hinata was… She, or someone else, had made sure there was no way for anyone to save her by use of jutsu… There was no way anyone could get around the jutsu to do so… why had Hinata been taken? And why did someone cast a jutsu on her to prevent her from being saved? Naruto just hoped his friend would be safe… wherever she was… He remembered when he had met the previous hokage during the war, Hashirama could surely take care of her and keep her safe…

But Tobirama seemed to be an ass at times.

:-:-:-:-:-:

Hinata took off running; she had no clue where she was and everything was so densely wooded that she almost hit a tree as she ran, almost. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a light in the distance up ahead. Her feet hit the branch in front of her and she felt excitement fill her being. With every branch the light got bigger and brighter. A few more trees and then she would be in the clear. The rush of light sent her senses into turmoil.

And that was when her foot got caught on the last branch and she slid. Her eyes went wide and her chest clenched as she was sent flying forwards. 'Oh no!' she whimpered as she was sent sprawling at the ground. She squeezed her eyes shut, expecting to hit the ground and for it to hurt. But… the ground made noise too… and was surprisingly warm and not as hard as it should have been. She whimpered and cracked her eyes open only to be face to face with surprised chocolate brown eyes. Her face flushed dark red and she scrambled to get up and get away from the one she landed on. She fell backwards and hit her bum on the ground. "Are you alright? You don't look so good…" the dark eyed male asked her as she shakily looked up to his dark eyes.

He reached out to her and everything blacked out. He blinked as she fell backwards limply. "Is she dead?" the white haired 17 year old asked from behind him. His mouth was agape as he tried to find the words to say. "Great… you killed her." The white haired male snorted and a depressing aura formed around the dark brown haired 19 year old. "Don't get depressed about it, just pick her up sheesh." His brother stated and walked over to the girl and hefted her up. Her eyes fluttered open as he reached to grab her.

She squealed once more and scooted backwards upon seeing him reaching for her. "Where am I? Who are you?" she stammered lightly and he blinked. "My name is Tobirama. This is my brother Hashirama." The white haired one said in a monotone voice. Her eyes went wide at this, where was she? How were the previous Kage alive? She watched the interaction between the two of them and bit her lip lightly, what on earth was going on? The last thing she remembered was being attacked by a cloaked figure.

"You are alive! I didn't kill you thank goodness!" Hashirama said exuberantly and she blushed as he grabbed her hands and tried to help her up. She accepted his help and tried to thank him, but the words were knocked right out of her when Tobirama whacked his brother over the head. "Idiot." He griped and she watched as Hashirama pouted. Yeah, this was definitely not a trick her mind was playing on her, these two were the exact same way when they had come to help them in the war.

"Um… it's alright Hashirama-sama…" she said and the brothers looked at her oddly as she took in her surroundings. "My name is Hinata Hyuuga…" she said and they exchanged glances. "Don't you realize that shinobi aren't supposed to reveal their last names or are you just dumb?" Tobirama asked harshly and she frowned. "Maybe I just don't care?" Hinata snapped surprising herself with the sudden bravado and Hashirama snickered, although a glare from his younger brother silenced him.

"I know who you are and I know either of you could wipe me from my existence with your pinky finger… but I don't care… I can't remember how I got here… or why I was sent here… I just know I have stumbled on two of the strongest shinobi and I am not going to wait for the Uchiha to find me. Please help me… I... I don't know what to do…" she said softly, her voice held confidence she hadn't known she had at first, but as she realized who she was talking to, it started to fade away.

She rubbed her arm nervously; she was stressing out and had snapped at the white haired man. "Sorry…" she said softly and averted her eyes. Hashirama grinned and shook his head. "It's no problem Hinata-san. I was a bit taken back you act like you know who we are… it's just… a bit surprising." He said and she blushed in embarrassment. "Sorry I landed on you…" she said looking away from him. He blinked; his face held a slight tinge of pink. "It's ok… I don't think either of us were looking where we were going…" he said scratching the back of his head with a nervous smile.

She fiddled with her fingers a bit and looked around. "I suppose you could come stay with us… maybe… you are a shinobi, right?" he asked and she nodded hesitantly. "You can fight… right?" Tobirama asked with a scowl and Hinata flinched at the harsh tone in his voice. "Y-yes… I can fight…" she said and he huffed. "Pathetic. Brother why must you be so nice to everyone?" Tobirama asked seeing how frail she appeared to be. "Why must you be so stern and grumpy Tobi? You know if you don't stop frowning, your face will freeze that way." Hashirama said with a smirk. Hinata withheld a laugh at this, because the only thing she could picture was the hokage stone faces, and the fact that everything Hashirama described were true. His grumpy face was forever etched into the side of the mountain.

Tobirama sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Why am I related to an idiot?" he sighed and Hinata frowned. "I don't think he is an idiot…" she said softly and Tobirama scowled at her. "And who are you to be a judge of character. You don't appear to be the brightest either." He quipped and she blushed in embarrassment. "I can use water jutsu…" she said and he rolled his eyes. "And so can I, and obviously I can tell who the better of the two of us is going to be." He snapped and Hinata looked down at the ground, rubbing her forearm

"And… wind…" she said softly and he rolled his eyes again. Tobirama obviously didn't like her… to which there was honestly no reasoning for, she supposed he just didn't care much for anyone. Hashirama walked over and draped an arm around his brother's neck then began to put him in a choke hold. "Just wait until I tell mother you were being rude to a lady… She is going to put a boot in your-" he began but noticed Hinata had her ears covered and her eyes shut. "Please don't be vulgar…" she whined and he grinned. "No problem." He chuckled and her hands dropped from her ears.

"So Hinata-san, where are you from?" Hashirama asked as Tobirama followed behind the two with a scowl on his lips. "I'm… I'm… not sure if I can tell you that without you thinking I'm crazy…" she said and he furrowed his brow. "What does that mean? You can't tell me? Alright… then I won't pry…" he said and she looked at him in surprise. "How old are you?" he asked and she looked at her fiddling fingers. "18…" she said and he nodded. "I'm 19… do you know where your clan is?" he asked and she shook her head. "Alright then…." He said and she smiled as she watched the crease of his brow. He was obviously trying really hard to strike up a conversation between them and she couldn't help the small smile that crossed her lips at this.

"Can you tell me about your family?" he asked suddenly and she frowned and rubbed her arm in discomfort. "They… my family were harsh people… but they loved me in their own… T-tough love sort of way…" she said softly and he frowned. "I know how that is…" he said with a frowned and Tobirama grunted from behind them. Hinata looked back at him with a small frown on her lips. "Are you alright, Tobirama-san?" she asked and he rolled his eyes. "Don't worry about me, I am none of your concern woman…" he snapped and she looked at her hands and nodded. "Alright… I'm sorry…" she said and Hashirama frowned.

"Stop apologizing, it's annoying." He grumbled and she nodded and opened her mouth to apologize again but she clamped her mouth shut and said nothing more. She watched as tree after tree passed by until she saw a disturbance in the natural chakra ahead. She furrowed her brows as the trees all vanished and the landscape became that of a clearing. At the end of the clearing the chakra disturbance was noticeable to her eyes, she wondered if the two beside her realized this.

"Hashirama-san…there's a disturbance in the chakra up ahead…" she said and he looked at her in surprise. "You can see father's genjutsu?" he asked and she blinked. It was a poorly done genjutsu, but then again it was an ability her family had to see through almost all gensutsu… the exception was Infinite Tsukuyomi it seemed. She released the genjutsu and her hands flew through hand signs and she fixed it and made it stronger. She smiled in pride of her accomplishment and looked over at the brothers. Tobirama scoffed audibly and Hashirama offered a comforting smile. "Is he always grumpy?" she asked softly with a small, discouraged frown and Hashirama nodded.

"Yes, but within reason… or usually he is within reason…" he sighed and Tobirama strolled further ahead until a man a bit taller than Hashirama landed in front of Hinata with a stern glare. "Who have you brought into the compound?" he asked and Hinata trembled a bit in fear but looked up to attempt to meet the man's eyes. He looked her over with disgust in his eyes, just like her father. "Name." he didn't ask, he just demanded. "Hinata Hyuuga…" she said and his eyes widened a fraction.

"What? Why aren't you with them then?" he asked and she fiddled with her fingers. "I… I don't know where they are… and I don't want to go to them…" she said and Hashirama frowned as he stared at her confused. "Father…" Hashirama began but his father held up a hand to silence him. "Show them to me." he said and she blushed lightly, Hashirama tried not to snicker and his father rubbed his eyes. "Good grief, the Byakugan, girl." He said with a small chuckle. He found it hard to be serious when the girl thought the way she did.

She blushed darker but the veins around her eyes bulged out and he nodded. "If I grant you residence here, you will help us fend off the Uchiha, right? He asked and she nodded. "I will help you. I understand the destructive power of the Uchiha… I have seen Madara fight before…" she said and Hashirama looked at her in surprise. "You… Saw him fight and you got to walk away?" he asked and she frowned. "No one sees the Uchiha fight and walk away without losses. One of the Uchiha killed my brother… But… as I said, you wouldn't believe where I really come from…" she whispered and Hashirama frowned.

"The Uchiha killed two of my sons. We understand the losses." Butsuma said and Hinata frowned. "The losses count for both sides…" she whispered and Hashirama blinked at her then turned his face away with a frown. "But… you do what you must to protect the ones you care for…" she said softly and he nodded. "It just means that sometimes… People have to die." Butsuma said and Hinata stared at the ground. She wasn't going to state her opinion because he gave of the same commanding aura her father did, and if she talked back to him… She figured he may just hit her or speak lowly to her like her father did…

"Hinata-san, let me show you to where you will be staying." Hashirama said and Hinata nodded and smiled lightly. "Thank you, Hashirama-sama." She said and he scratched the back of his neck. "No formalities, please. Just Hashirama." He said and she nodded. "Alright…Hashirama-kun." She said and he sighed, he wasn't going to win with her even if it was an endearment, it was still a formality… they walked in silence and he stared up at the sky. "Where are you from, Hinata-chan?" he asked and she looked at her fingers.

"I'm from a time… a time where we had just gotten out of war…" she stammered lightly and he frowned. "We were fighting Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha…They were going to make the world a place where peace was false, where everyone t-though they would be happier and everyone who they loved that had died…would be alive again." She stammered and his eyes were wide. "He was going to put the world under an e-eternal genjutsu…" she said and he looked at the ground.

"He was lost in despair… if I can stop that… maybe the war will never happen and… and… maybe Neji-nii would never be killed." She said as the tears formed in her eyes. "I think I understand…" he said and she looked at him with wide eyes. "You are from the future, correct?" he asked and she nodded. "So somehow you were sent here… to fix that and save the future. Time-space jutsu aren't all that common… but I guess they could get more advanced in the future, being as how you were sent here." He said and she smiled and nodded.

"That makes sense… but I am still curious as to why I was sent here… why not someone else?" she asked and he shrugged. "Who knows. Maybe someone thought you would be the perfect one to choose and they ambushed you instead of the one they had picked before." He said with a shrug of the shoulders and she giggled lightly. He blushed lightly in embarrassment and looked around. "Well, this is where you will be staying… if you need anything… I'm right there in the big building the fourth door back." He said pointing over to a larger building and she nodded.

"Thank you Hashirama-kun." She said politely and bowed. He scratched his neck nervously and waved her goodbye as he walked off to his own place. She turned around and squealed. Tobirama was leaned against her doorway with an agitated look on his face. "What are you trying to pull, girl?" he asked and she fumbled over her words. "I-I-I don't know what y-you mean. I-I'm not trying to p-pull anything… I just want to h-help." She stammered uncontrollably as he looked at her with those angry judgmental red eyes, his presence pressing down on her scrambling her thoughts.

"I'm watching you Hyuuga, you may have my brother fooled, but you will not fool me. I know what you are here for." He said every word with an angry jab to her shoulder. "T-then what am I here for? Because e-even I don't know." She stammered with watery eyes. He clicked his tongue and turned away from her. "Stop your damn lying. You know good and well why you are here, the Uchiha sent you to try and sway my brother's thought process, didn't they? To distract him?" he asked and she furrowed her brows. "No… no one sent me here to distract him… I don't k-know how I got here or why I am here… I just want to go home…" she stammered and he scoffed loudly and walked away.

"Then go home. Leave this place and never return." He said and she fisted her hands in her sleeves as she tried to hold her tears back. "If I k-knew where home was I w-would go home…" she stammered as she turned on her heel and ran into her temporary home. Tobirama didn't even turn back, he didn't trust the girl so if she cried it meant nothing to him. She was weak and pathetic anyways… She wouldn't last long against the Uchiha.

:-:-:-:

Hashirama watched as his brother continued to bully Hinata. He wouldn't be surprised in the slightest when the day came that she laid hands on him. It was well known that he was a jerk anyways, but he felt like he was the perfect kind of jerk that would end up getting caught off guard when she did hit him. Sure, it would probably be while they were training, as she didn't seem to be the kind of person to outright swing on someone, be he knew she held the power to do so.

He had heard of the Hyuuga before and their gentle fist fighting style. If he were honest, that fighting style could possibly be a slight hindrance to him if he ever came across one skilled enough to get close to him. That had yet to happen and he was sure to keep them at a distance anytime he fought them either way. He returned to just watching her as she fought with her own clones, she had talent, that was for sure. He followed her graceful movements with his eyes, her flat palms slicing through the air like a blade. Her stance and grace were different from any Hyuuga he had fought before, so he wanted to see what it would be like to fight her.

He would hold back however, as he didn't want to hurt her. He hopped down from his place in the tree and made his way over to her. "Hinata-san," he called out and she dispelled her clone to look over at him. "Would you mind if I sparred with you?" he continued and a blush flushed her cheeks. "You don't have to do that!" she said holding her palms flat out to him and waving them as she shook her head rapidly. "I c-can't take you away from anything important…" she said and he chuckled at her antics.

"Don't worry about that, Hinata-san, I don't have anything I am supposed to be doing either way…" he said and her eyes went wide as she dropped her hands to fiddle with her fingers once more, breaking her gaze away from him. "I suppose… if you aren't busy…" she muttered softly and he grinned at her. He made his way closer to her, despite the look his brother gave him. His brother mouthed something about it being a waste of time and his chakra flared at his brother, making him back off. However, when he looked back to Hinata she was trembling before him. He concealed his presence and smiled at her once more, wiping the angry look off his face.

She seemed to calm down at this and he couldn't help but scratch the back of his head apologetically. "Well, come at me then." He said with a smile and she nodded. "Don't hold back on me now." He chuckled and she only nodded as she rushed for him. His eyes went wide as she came upon him faster than he had expected. When he had been watching her, she hadn't been this fast in fighting her clones. Her palm made contact with his stomach and the feeling of her chakra rushing through his system knocked the air from his lungs.

"Fuck!" he managed to yell as he brought both hands down to break the contact of her palm to his stomach. He gasped for air and looked up at her. He had never actually been hit by a Hyuuga either, which is why it caught him off guard at how fast she was. He grinned sheepishly up at her as she rushed to make sure he was ok. "Wasn't expecting that." He said and she blushed darkly. "Don't think that lets you off the hook though, I still wanna spar. This just makes me wanna do it more now." He said with a grin and he could tell she was surprised by this.

The excitement coated her features and he couldn't help but smile at this. She rushed at him once more, but this time he was more prepared than the last. Her palm came at him once more and he swung his hand up in an arc to knock it away as he ducked around her other hand. After both of her hands had been swatted upwards she tried to bring them back down on him, but he crouched and swept her legs out from under her. She caught herself mid fall and her gentle fingertips spun in the ground and she used that momentum to throw herself back to her feet before rushed at him once more. He looked over to see that even Tobirama had the slight hint of approval on his features, it was almost nonexistant but it was there.

He was intrigued by her movements, as she seemed to be dancing. It was not a fight in the slightest, this was an intricate dance that only she knew. She crossed her arms one over the other and brought them down on him once more, but he grabbed her wrists making sure not to make contact with her hands in the slightest. Her eyes went wide as he ducked under her arms and jolted his shoulder into her abdomen, using the force from that hit to throw her. She twisted in midair and when her legs connected with a tree she used that force to send her flying towards him once more. He twisted to the left and grabbed her as she went past with one arm only to send her back into the ground.

His eyes went wide as he realized he may have been a little rough with her. He crouched by her as she just stared up at the sky from her place on the ground. He fully expected her to be crying or making a noise of any kind, but she was just smiling. He furrowed his brow as he offered a hand to her and she took it gently. He helped her up into a sitting position, but never once did she take her eyes off the sky overhead. "Are you ok?" he asked and she nodded.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to slam you down like that…" he said and she shook her head at him, those pale eyes of hers slipping shut. "Don't be… everyone is always so gentle with me… protecting me and treating me as if I can't fight… treating me like I'm delicate…" she said softly and his eyes went wide at this. "You held back, but not like they do. They always let me win because they think it will help me." She whispered softly and he couldn't help but smile at her. No wonder she didn't have any confidence in her ability, everyone had been treating her like she was weak.

"So, thank you." She said as she smiled up at him. He raised a brow, but only shook his head. "Of course. That's what friends are for right?" he asked and she nodded as she took his outstretched hand and he helped her up. He felt a familiar presence and he turned to see Mito making her way over to them, a gentle smile on her lips. He looked to make sure Hinata was ok before he took off towards the beautiful redhead. "Mito-chan!" he greeted and she just smiled at him. "What brings you to visit?" he asked and she looked from him to Hinata, completely missing the jealous look that crossed her features upon sight of Hinata.

"I heard you made a new friend, I wanted to see them for myself. Since you are always making friends everywhere you go." She said and he only grinned at her. "This is Hinata! She's a little shy, but she's very nice." He said and Mito made her way over to Hinata, who stared at her hands nervously. "Hello, Mito-san." Hinata greeted softly, and offered a hand to the taller woman. Mito looked down at the shorter woman but ignored her outstretched hand to turn around and make her way back to him. He wasn't sure why she was acting this way towards Hinata, because it made no sense to him.

He watched as Hinata pulled her hand back and fiddled with her fingers once more. He offered Hinata a smile, but Mito grabbed his sleeve gently and motioned for him to follow her. "See you later, Hinata-san!" he called out to her as he was pulled away by the redhead, who gave his younger brother a side glance as they passed him as well. What was with her lately? He looked back to see Hinata wave softly as he walked away.
