Author's note:
Kinda confused on what to write, I haven't gone sleep at all Help its 6:39am
Naruto's mouth was opened in disbelief it wouldn't shut, his eyes were stinging, he was so shocked that he couldn't't even blink. Why? It wouldn't be a surprise if another other younger version of himself was here, but Hinata, she wouldn't just steal the scroll of time traveling, it's not like her to do that.
"H-Hinata?" He was stuttering, he couldn't even talk properly, first The younger version of him now the younger version of Hinata. Now that was a big surprise.
"W-what brings you here?" He didn't even know how to respond to the situation, it was way different to when his younger self showed up unexpectedly.
Hinata stood there, right in front of Naruto. Her heart kept racing as she peered into his eyes. Why, why she wondered, why did her heart always beat so fast every time she looked at him? It was wrong. He is now married to someone special. She couldn't fall for him, that's not right, he's already taken. All she could do now was just keep her tears, thoughts, and emotions locked away deeply inside her heart..
"Hinata!?"
"Oh yes, sorry. " she pulls herself together.
and sets her problems aside, for now.
"Oh no, that's okay. " he said.
Hinata takes a breath and begins to speak
"We don't know how we got here or what brought us here, so we came to you in order for answers to find out why we're here."
"Wait 'we', who else is here?"
"I showed up here unexpectedly with you from the past"
"Huh, Whaaat another me again eh, sigh this is a handful for me and my wife. Not
including you Hinata you're not a handful at all."
"wife.." No i mustn't i need to snap out of it.
Naruto just mentioned another him so that must mean a younger version of him is here.
"Also Hinata where did you guys rest at since you came here?"
"We stayed at a hot spring called the Antler hot spring!"
He was surprised, That particular hot springs was where he and the older Hinata went for their first honeymoon as newly weds.
"did you guys love it"
"Yes both of us did"
He was happy to know that she loved it a lot, if the younger version of Hinata loved it that much then the older version of her would have loved it even more.
"You know that's where me and my wife spent our first honeymoon!" he grinned
"Wh-wha!" Hinata blushed her face burned, glowing bright red. But then a second thought came flying in, she frowned. but escaped that thought before she could doze off again.
"Would you please explain how another version of you is here." she exclaimed
"Oh okay if that's what you want then sure,
though it is supposed to be confidential but I don't mind telling you." This man would give anything to her, even if it is top secret.
...
"A forbidden ninja scroll hidden in the anbu hide out?"
"Yeah that's the information the younger me gave."
"So we need that scroll in order to get back, right?"
"Yes, Shikimaru is on to that"
"Shika- maru?"
"Yeah well Shikamaru is my advisor!"
"So it Might take days or weeks for you to return to your original timeline."
"Days or weeks huh.." she looked down
sadly.
Naruto looked at her, he wanted to cheer her up, but all he could do was give her hope. "Don't worry," he said, "because I will do anything to help you get back to your timeline!"
Hinata smiled brightly, that smile always resembled a flower, Naruto loved it, he cherished that smile, it gave him hope and strength.
"So, let's head home." He said as he looked at her. "My wife cooks the best food you know," he added. Hinata looked dreadful, the pain in her heart she could barely handle it at all. If she were his wife, she would have probably cooked better food. No, she mustn't think that way. If he's happily married to someone else, then for his happiness, she must not interfere with his relationship.
"Hey Hinata what's wrong? you okay?"
"Yeah i..im fine.."
"You sure? Because you don't look it."He was worried, just looking at her expression something was wrong. "Oh yeah I almost forgot, Hinata where is the Me you came with-"Naruto was cut off by the sudden ringing of the telephone. He ran to his desk and picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Naruto you need to come home quickly-"
The younger Hinata was curious and worried, Naruto had a serious look on his face.
"I'll be right there"
"Naruto, are you alright, what happened?"
"Hinata, my wife just called in and we need to head home quickly"
"You know the other me you just came with, w-well he's caught a disease an-"
"W-what he's caught an illness!" Hinata covered her mouth as she was petrified
It was all her fault, if she didn't leave Naruto there on his own then she could have taken him to a hospital. Luckily Naruto's wife was there to help him or he would have been-
she was never this sad ever before. No wonder Naruto didn't marry her, why would he anyways, she literally left his younger self to get sick.
"Alright we need to get going!"
"Okay" she says as she's putting on her backpack
Naruto and Hinata rush to get home as soon as possible.
"Alright were here!" he called out.
"Wait this is the house Naruto was talking about"
"What have you guys seen this place before?"
"Mhm Many times ever since we came to the future. He can't stop talking about it, I guess his speculations about this house being his when he's older was right."
Naruto smiled " Do you like Hinata?"
"Oh yes I do, a lot actually"
"that's good"
"As they were both walking up to the house Hinata couldn't help but notice the flowers, there were quite a lot."
She asked Naruto a question about them. "Do you like flowers?"
"I like watering them, but my wife loves them a lot so I help her water them"
"Which one is your favourite?" she continued as they were walking
"I love the white lillies and daisy's so much they're really beautiful!"
"I also love them too!"
Naruto opened the door, Hinata was Nervous, what if Naruto's wife didn't like her, what if her kids hated her, more importantly what if Naruto's illness had gotten worse, so many questions and answers beyond that door.
They entered.
"I'm Home" Naruto shouted.
Hinata looked around, it was all cozy and spotless, she could feel warmth in this house somehow, like she was ment to belong here.
They both rushed to the room where Naruto was resting
"Sakura!" He called out
"What's the situation?"
"Well, it's just a simple fever; nothing too serious, just some rest and he will get better in about two days or so. I've prescribed him with some medication that he needs to take three times a day for a week, and there are no exceptions." She informs him "I have to get going, Sarada is probably done cooking dinner"
"Alright Thanks a lot for your help"
"Sakura?"
"Eh Hinata?"
"Wait your the younger version of Hinata! don't worry Naruto will get better quickly."
"Oh and Hinata hurry up with that Red scarf your making Him"
Hinata blushed "H-How did!"
"See ya" Sakura heads out of the house
She averts her eyes on the sick Naruto
Hinata gasped as she ran to him "Naruto! You will be okay Sakura just said that you will" Hinata sulks on Naruto as she leans her head against the futon. "it's all my fault, if I didn't leave you then you wouldn't be in this state!" her tears flow down on the blanket he's wearing.
"Hey Hinata It's okay it isn't your fault" Naruto tries to calm her down
"It's my stupid younger self that's got himself in this state"
"don't say that.. your not stupid" she wipes her tears away. Hinata hears some footsteps heading to this room. She realizes It's his wife who's headed here.
"Naruto is that you"
Hinata wandered around exploring the house while she left them two to talk, not wanting to interfere.
"Yeah I just got back"
"Where's Boruto and Himawari"
"They've gone out with the other younger you, they will be back before dinner"
"Oh alright, then they must be enjoying themselves"
..
She entered the living room the first thing she noticed was the outside view coming from the sliding glass door, Then on her right was the kitchen. She went to go get a glass of water to relieve her from the stress and worry that she gained today.
Hinata saw some picture frames from the corner of her eye there were quite a lot. I guess Naruto really loves his family a lot.
She walks up to them and looks at a particular one, including his son and daughter holding hands and enjoying themselves"They're really adorable" she thought.
Hinata already loves them a lot.
She puts it back down, just to pick up another, this time of Naruto's family.
He has his daughter sitting on his shoulders while his son looks happy "Cute!" Hinata averts her eyes to the wife
"I wonder how Naruto's wife looks..-"
..
Hinata's eyes widen and mouth slightly opens in shock, her body froze. the frame nearly dropped out of her hand.
His wife.. she couldn't move a single finger Hinata was in a state of disbelief. N-Naruto's wife.. "is me!"
she ran as fast as she could to the older Naruto and his wife. she wanted to ask so many questions.
thoughts and memories flood her mind
"that's where me and my wife .."
"my wife cooks the best.."
"my wife loves flowers so I.."
"this is a handful for me and my wife.."
"my wife just called!.."
He was talking about her all this time.
Naruto was about her, not another woman.
Hinata arrived as quickly as she could she
stood there right before her was Naruto and Her future self, they both looked at her "Hey Hinata" He smiled "What's up.."
As she stared at the couple, Hinata had no words to describe how overjoyed she felt.
This was the best day of her life, and it wasn't a dream. "Oh yeah I forgot to introduce you to your older self!"
"Hello!" The future Hinata softly said
The past Hinata was speechless she didn't know what to say.
How?
The future her smiled brightly as she knew what was going on,
"Hey Hinata what's wrong, you feel sick or something?"
"It's okay she's not sick"
"She just needs time" Hinata walked up to her younger self
"Your surprised, aren't you."
"I-I guess, I never expected this to happen"
"Well it did, I can tell you how if you want.
"I would like that, but first can I ask a question"
"Yes, anything!"
"What are the names of my future children?"
Hinata smirked innocently "Boruto and Himawari!"
The past Hinata smiled so happily as she said the names of her two beloved future children
"Boruto and Himawari, They are such cute names. But where are they now?"
"They're with the other younger Naruto, but they should be home at any moment now"
.
"WERE HOME!" The younger Naruto excitedly shouted out loud, he had been waiting to say that all day.
"Hey shut up won't you, stop being so loud!"
"Why don't you shut up Kid!"
"Papa, older brother no fighting!" Her Byakugan activated.
"W-were not fighting isn't that right Boruto"
"Y-yea, look!" They were frightened to the very core, sweat emitted from their skin, as the experience they had was one to never forget. Both of them swallowed deeply.
Naruto walked up to welcome them back
"Welcome back! Did you have fun?"
"No!" Boruto looked at the younger Naruto.
He was lying he did have fun.
"Me and Mini papa had fun!"
"Yep!"
"That's good!" Hinata added as she walked up to them
"Hey Mom!"
"Hinata!"
"Mama Look what me, older brother and mini papa got you!"
Naruto pulled out a necklace from the bag, it was a silver chain necklace containing a light purple gemstone that represented the colour of her eyes. "I hope you like it, Hinata," he said with a nervous chuckle. "I spent all of my savings on it."
"It's beautiful," she said. "Thank you, Naruto." She wore the necklace around her neck.
The Younger Naruto was flustered,
"Hey, that necklace! I also bought it for Hinata!"
"W-what you also, for me!?" Hinata blushed
"Now what am I going to do with it?" Naruto was a bit pissed that the present him wasn't the one to give it to her.
"Wait I've got an idea" Hinata reaches for Naruto's ear
"eh?"
"What is Mama and Papa talking about in secret?" said Himawari
"Hinata that's a great Idea I'll do it after dinner"
"Oh yes! Speaking of dinner, I need to prepare it." Hinata walks off to the kitchen.
"Alright you guys want to meet a surprise person"
"Suprise? I love surprises!" Himawari said
"Same here" Naruto also loved surprises
"Oh uh okay I guess"
They all follow Naruto to the leaving room
"It better be worth it or-" Boruto paused in shock
"huh..W-what" Both Naruto and Boruto rub their eyes. "m-mommy?..It's younger Mommy" Himawari exclaimed while she ran and hugged her "Older brother look"
"I'm looking, and I don't believe it!" he walked up to her "Hey Younger Mom! What are you doing here!?" he said in excitement and confusion
"H-Hinata?" Naruto "Hinata! Hey it's me, Naruto dattebayo!" he was so happy to meet another version of her
Hinata smiled and almost got teary "Hello..Naruto!"
"Mommy do you know our names?"
"of course I do" she knelt down to hug them "Himawari.. Boruto" she happily said
"you are my future children after all" She felt warmth across her body as she hugged them tightly.
The older Naruto and Hinata smile while they look at their children and younger selves.
They all hear loud coughing noise coming from the other room. "Naruto!" The Younger Hinata shouts "you guys stay here I'll go check on him!" Naruto suggested
"Wh-what me?" Naruto was confused Hinata called out Naruto but he was here and who was coughing just now. "Hey, what's going on, why does younger mom look so worried!" Boruto was indeed concerned for his mom "Mama what's wrong are you alright" Himawari was upset as she looked at her sad mom "No it's okay I'm alright, don't worry" The Younger Hinata hugged Himawari
..
"Hey younger me, you alright?"
Naruto was coughing too much. Younger Hinata came running with a wet towel and medicine, she placed the wet towel on Naruto's forehead and slightly lifted him up to pour the medicine into his mouth, she then gently put him down onto the bed again,
Naruto watched her as she was checking his younger self temperature. She deeply cared for me a lot I was a fool for not noticing that earlier. Naruto always regretted that he didn't notice her feelings towards him earlier.
"His fever is going down a bit" She told the older Naruto "Hey, Hinata.. thank you for everything"
"Wh-wha? Oh no don't thank me all I did was put a wet towel on his forehead, give him medicine and check his temperature"
"Not only for that, but for everything you have done for me"
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean"
Hinata realized what he meant by that and blushed "Wh-what h-how did you.."
"Well how'd you think we got married" he grinned. Her face turned red, "Haha I haven't seen you blush since last week!"
"What do you mean I only got here today.." Hinata nearly fainted as she knew what he meant, luckily Naruto caught her on time
"You okay" he asked
"Y-yeah"
"Alright I'll stop"
"What I meant to thank you is for all the love and care you have given me for all those years, I guess I was too stupid to not realising all your love for me, I was as thick as brick then"
"What no, you're not stupid or a brick. Please don't say that again"
"Well what I'm trying to say is that I didn't understand love back then, you know because I didn't have my parents around, I didn't know what it felt like. Honestly Hinata your beyond greatness to love a person like me for all those years, and even now, so thank you for loving a fool like me!"
She smiled.
"I-I honestly don't know what to say. But remember this, I will always love you no matter how much of a fool you are, or no matter how sick you are, till death I will love you and I know those feelings won't go away."
"Thank you.. Hinata, I will always have the same feelings for you that you have for me"
"I almost forgot, Hinata I got you a little present" He pulls out the necklace from earlier which he was supposed to give to the present Hinata " Well it was supposed to be for the older you but she insisted for me to give it to you since my younger self already gave one to her.. I hope you like it"
"I love it, Thank you" Hinata puts it around her neck "Hey I knew it would look great on you Hinata" she burned red "The older you might have finished making dinner already. Let's head to the living room.. Oh yeah
I also need to take an extra chair out for you, so just head straight to the living room!"
"Alright, I'll see you there " She headed back to the living room "Younger Mommy your back!" shouted Himawari running to hug her "I'm back" she chuckled
"Yes you're just on time" Said the future Hinata smiling while she noticed the necklace on her younger self neck
"Alright got the chair! Here ya go, now you can sit down."
"Thank you"
"Mom your sitting next to me!" Said boruto
"I am!" Hinata smiled
"Let me show you my Ninja card collections!"
"O-okay?" Hinata didn't know what were they do she just went along.
"No fair older brother I was going to show Mommy my teddy!"
"Well I asked first-"
"You can both show me anything!" she was flattered that her future children loved her so much.
The past Naruto was only staring at Hinata in admiration.
"Alright here's the food"
"Time to eat!" called out younger Naruto
"Thank you for the food!" everyone spoke
The future Hinata and Naruto were sitting across each other chatting
Hinata was curious as to how they fell in love, how'd she win Naruto over, all she wanted was answers.
"Hey Hinata you not gonna eat" The younger Naruto saw Hinata lost in thought
"Oh yes I am"
Everyone was eating and chatting
After dinner...
"The food was great Hinata!" Older Naruto was a big fan of Hinata's food "Thank you"
"So where shall we put the Past you to sleep"
"I can put a sleeping mat there in the room where the sick you is sleeping, so we can put her there but we only have two, so where are you going to sleep"
"I'm not working today so I'll sleep with you"
"A-alright" Hinata was blushing " I'll go set it up for her!"
..
"Hey younger me!"
"What is it?"
"Change of plans you can't sleep on the futon!"
"WHAT!"
"My sick younger self is sleeping there, you will be sleeping on a sleeping mat!"
"Hinata Is sleeping on it too!"
"Alright then" Naruto had a cheeky smirk
"On a different one!"
"I'm only kidding, you have a dirty mind old me!"
"WHAT NO I DONT" Naruto was too embarrassed
"JUST GO TO SLEEP! "
..
"Good night!" called out the older Naruto
they all go to bed. Hinata looks at the sick Naruto as she went to check his temperature before going to sleep, she sat there worried "It's all my fault you're like this, if I didn't leave you then you'd be at a Hospital, better. All I can do now is give you medicine and place wet towels on your forehead" she was falling asleep leaning on the futon he was sleeping on, next to his legs "I hope you get better soon..." she drifted away to sleep. After a day like that who wouldn't?
Shikamaru
"This is the last place to check. I need to hurry and find that scroll" Shikamaru was going places to places looking for the time travel scroll, he was looking in boxes after boxes. "Damn it I checked in all of these boxes where could that scroll be"
He looked around him noticing the mess he made "what a drag, now I have to clean up.
Time passed as he put the scrolls away back where he found them "One last box finally" he picked it up, but a scroll fell out,
he reaches to the scroll "Wait... This is"
To his suprise he found it the scroll "After hours and hours searching, who could have known it was here in this place "I have to tell Naruto!"
Authors note..
I'm so glad I finished this chapter after a long time.

So umm yeah that's it I guess!

Torime out
