(Sasuke and Boruto's time travel, which took place roughly after Sasuke's departure from the village)
-Above the village walls-
"Whoah, is this what the village looked like in the past?" A blonde boy looked down as his eyes boggled
A black haired man stood beside him, his gaze swept across the entire village as a sense of nostalgia filled his heart. A small frown appeared on his face as he thought back on his actions as a kid...
'We don't know when Urashiki will strike, so we need to find Naruto fast' He thought to himself
"Man, Ichiraku looked like that in the past? The buildings look so old" The boy beside him pointed out differences one after another
The man knocked on his head
"We need to focus on finding Naruto" He said
"Yeah, yeah, I know, I can't wait to meet dad" The boy grinned
The man shook his head, he doesn't wish to meet them directly, in case it interferes with the timeline.
The two jumped down and started to wonder the streets. Every turn made the man remember the past, and a faint hint of embarrassment at the thought.
On the other hand, the boy was looking around with excitement in his eyes
"Why don't we ask some people, otherwise, we'll never find him" The boy grabbed the man and asked
The man thought for a bit, his eyes flickered with hesitation.
"Alright" He sighed after giving it some thought
"Oh right! Heck yeah!" The boy laughed, his first thought was to ask the passerbyers, but the reactions left him stupefied, and a little...confused.
When he grabbed someone to ask, they first responded with a warm smile
"What can I do for you, boy?" A man smiled
"I'm looking for someone, can you tell me if you've seen him?" He asked
"Sure, go ahead" The man nodded with a smile
"I'm looking for someone called Naruto, Naruto Uzuma-"
"Tch, who cares about that demon brat" The moment Naruto's name left his mouth, the man's smile dropped, turning into a deep frown as he shook off the boy's hand.
He even casted a disdainful, and angry gaze on him before leaving...
"E-Eh?" The boy was stunned, he looked around, confused as the gazes on him were now filled with hostility.
"Let's go" The black haired man said as he pulled the boy away from the villagers.
After he pulled the boy away from the crowd and brought him to a more open space, he heaved out a faint sigh. Perhaps it was because he never properly interacted with Naruto...but he forgot how much disdain the villagers held towards him at this point in time.
"Sasuke-san, wh-why were they treating me like that when I mentioned dad's name?" The boy looked up, still shocked by what he had experienced
The man, Sasuke (future), sighed faintly as he rubbed the boy's head
"Boruto, your dad...he had his circumstances at that time" He said
"I...see..." Boruto looked down
"But this also proves how great he was, he was able to turn all this hatred into worship and reverence, he is now the Hokage" Sasuke smiled
"Y-Yeah" Boruto looked up and smiled, he was right, although Naruto is hated now, in his timeline, he had become the Hokage, the leader figure for the hidden leaf!
As he comforted Boruto, he noticed two people, walking side by side as they laughed. Two girls, with their arms interlocked.
"Hahaha, I knew it bestie, even if you can't stop him now, with lady Tsunade's guidance, you'll be unstoppable" It was Ino and Sakura, the two laughed as they linked arms.
'Those two...Ino and Sakura? Were they always that close during this period?'
"I'll try again, I refuse to believe no one will answer me" Boruto saw those two and he said with a resolute look
"Wait-" Sasuke called out, but Boruto had already run off, so he chased after him with a sigh
'Let's hope this doesn't change anything' He sighed in his heart
The two girls noticed two people approaching them, one of which was a blonde haired boy, and the other was a man with black spiky hair. For some reason, both of them gave them a strong sense of resemblance to someone they knew...
"Hi, I'm Borut-ahem, I'm Boru, I wanna ask about someone" Boruto said with a grin
"Uh, sure" Sakura gave him a suspicious look
Boruto scratched the back of his head, and when he did that, Ino couldn't help but feel that he resembled Naruto quite a bit.
"I'm looking for a boy named Naruto" He said
"Huh? Na-kun?" Ino asked
'Na-kun???' Sasuke was stunned when he heard the way Ino referred to Naruto, whilst Boruto was a little baffled as well.
'Someone else liked my dad aside from mum?' He couldn't help but wonder who this girl is
He nodded
"Yep, I'm looking for da-Naruto" He nodded
The two stared at him, a little confused as to why they were looking for Naruto.
"Is there any reason why you're looking for him?" Ino asked
"Ah, hahahaha, would you trust me if I said we can't tell you?" He laughed awkwardly
"No" The girls shook their heads and said
Sasuke sighed as he pulled Boruto back
"Sorry, we have our circumstances, so we won't be able to reveal to you the reason" Sasuke said calmly, and was about to walk away with Boruto when...
*Bang*
"JIRAIYA!"
A loud roar rang out as a figure was thrown to the ground right in front of all four of them as a furious Tsunade walked up.
As for the figure on the ground...it was Jiraiya, around his neck was a pair of binoculars...
'Jiraiya? One of the three sanins, and a hero of the village?' Boruto stared at the old man in shock
Another figure jumped down beside Tsunade with a chuckle
"Old man, I told you it wouldn't turn out well"
'Naruto' Sasuke's eyes narrowed
"Brat! You were the one who snitched on me, weren't you!" Jiraiya roared as he pointed at Naruto
Naruto shrugged
"Who knows, anyway, Hokage-sama, you can take him away now" Naruto chuckled with a playful grin on his face.
"Uh, w-wait, Tsunade, I can explain!" Jiraiya slid backwards, but his head was grabbed by Tsunade who pulled him away
"You can explain all you want in the interrogation rooms later" She scowled
"Naruto, I will get you for this!!!!" Jiraiya screamed as he got dragged away
Naruto rolled his eyes and scoffed
"Oi, don't forget my reward, sis" Naruto called out to Tsunade, who gave him a thumbs up
"No worries" Tsunade laughed
'Sis!?' Sasuke and Boruto were stunned, they both recognised Tsunade and Naruto, and knowing the age gap...
Were they always that close!?
'I could have sworn that Naruto called Tsunade 'grandma', why is it sis!?' Sasuke thought in shock
"Na-kun~" Ino ran over and wrapped her arms around Naruto's arm, which shocked both Sasuke and Boruto yet again!
'Didn't Ino like me during this time period? Did the timeline change somehow?' Sasuke was frozen on the spot at the thought of the timeline changing.
Boruto was screaming in his heart
'Dad's cheating, dad's cheating, dad's cheating'
Naruto smiled, but he quickly noticed two others that he didn't recognise.
[Interesting]
'What is?'
[The black haired kid, he has a similar aura to father, but not quite...]
'Hm?' Naruto frowned as he stared at the two of them
They gave off a strong sense of familiarity, but he couldn't grasp where...
"Na-kun, those two said they were looking for you" Ino said
"Huh? Really?" Naruto looked over and asked
Sasuke snapped out of his daze, he wanted to say no, but at this point, there was no use in denying, so he nodded his head.
"Yes"
Naruto walked over as he stared at the two of them
"Naruto, they seem suspicious, you shouldn't get too close" Sakura warned
But Naruto waved it off
"It's fine, I don't sense any hostility" Naruto replied with a grin
Boruto had almost called him dad at this moment, but quickly remembered the situation
"You two...let's talk elsewhere" Naruto said
Sasuke thought for a bit, perhaps if they could speak to Naruto alone, they could convince him that they were here to protect him, which would make this much easier for them.
"Alright" He nodded
"Ino, I'll see you later then" Naruto waved with a smile
"Be careful" Ino said with a concerned look
Naruto smiled back. The three of them leapt onto the rooftop, and headed for the top of the village walls where there won't be anyone to eavesdrop on them.
"So~, who are you two? And why do you want to meet me?" Naruto asked
"We...are tracking down a dangerous person, and his primary target is you, Naruto" Sasuke said in a low voice
"Oh~, I see...pfft, Kurama, you're such a pain you know? So many people are coming at me for you" Naruto chuckled
'Hm? Did I say that the nine tail is the target? And why does he seem like he can talk to him?' Sasuke was a little surprised by Naruto's reaction.
Naruto leaned in
"But enough about me, let's talk about you two" He stared at Boruto, who seems to resemble himself quite a bit.
He walked closer, and suddenly grabbed Boruto's cheeks
"Oi, what are you doing?" Boruto gasped
"Whiskers on your cheeks, blonde hair, eye colour, match" He suddenly pulled out a strand of Boruto's hair.
"Ouch! What's that for!" Boruto gasped
Naruto didn't reply, he formed a seal with his hand, which further surprised Sasuke.
'He...knows how to make seals?' He was shocked, the Naruto he knew wouldn't know such things, and when he grabbed Boruto...it's as if he was analysing him.
Naruto then pulled out his own hair, and placed it on the seal, before placing Boruto's hair into it as well. The seal shone, and glowed with a bright red colour...
"Weird, weird, so weird" He rubbed his chin and muttered
"What's weird?" Boruto asked, not understanding anything that happened
"From what I can analyse, be it your appearance, to your DNA composition, you are my son, but that is simply impossible during this time frame" Naruto replied
!!!!!
Boruto and Sasuke were both stupefied, what did he do!? How did that seal confirm that he was his son!? They couldn't believe their ears, especially not Sasuke.
'No, he can't be Naruto, the Naruto I know is just a smiling idiot at this point in time' Sasuke's heart trembled, just how many things are different.
From Ino to Naruto, they are both acting very different!
"I-I'm not, h-how can I be" Boruto started to sweat, just how did he get figured out!?
Naruto rubbed his chin
"Time travel?" He muttered
!!!
'He knows!' They stared at him, horrified that he was piecing things together
"No, it's something else" Naruto shook his head
'He didn't figure it out?' They were baffled, why did he say no when it was the only option?
Naruto looked up
"I see, you are indeed my son, but also not, rather, another timeline, a parallel universe that acts outside of my time" He said
'Seriously, who is he!' Sasuke gasped, how can Naruto analyse everything so well???
He calmed himself quickly as he maintained a blank expression
"Why do you say so?" he asked
"Well, it's obvious the person I married in your timeline isn't Ino, if I'm correct, it's probably Hinata, your traits match Hinata quite well" Naruto replied
!?!?!
"Wait, you don't like mum!?" Boruto finally couldn't contain it anymore as he asked
"As I said, this is a different universe entirely, so the me in your universe may have gotten together with Hinata, but I have not" Naruto shook his head and said
"Then-Then, I still don't understand" Boruto held his head as steam began rising
Sasuke sighed
"I guess there is no point in hiding it, yes, we are indeed from another timeline, and someone has travelled back in time to steal the nine tails inside you, an incredibly powerful foe" Sasuke said in a low voice
Naruto lifted a brow
"Oh, I see" He rubbed his chin and fell into contemplation
"Alright, do you know when he will appear?" he asked
"Roughly...three days from now" Sasuke replied, they travelled further back in order to find Naruto first so Urashiki won't get his hands on him.
Naruto nodded
"Thanks for letting me know, Sasuke" Naruto said
!?
"You know I'm Sasuke?" He asked
Naruto laughed
"As if I wouldn't, everything about you screams edge lord, your expressions are also copied from your big bro, Itachi, right? You're trying to act like him" Naruto chuckled
"..."
Naruto covered his mouth and laughed
"Right on the money" He smirked after laughing it out
"Wait, so you're not with mum?" Boruto suddenly snapped out of his daze and asked
"Hinata? No, I already said it, I'm gunning for Ino" Naruto replied
"...I feel conflicted" Boruto muttered
"And you think I'm not? Two random people appeared before me, and one of them turns out to be my son, how do you think I feel right now? I'm thirteen for goodness sake, a son out of nowhere?" Naruto sighed
'He's much more mature than Naruto from our time line...' Sasuke thought to himself
"I know it must be a lot to take in, but we will do our best to ensure Urashiki does not get his hand on you" Sasuke said calmly
"It's not as much as you think, I already have a lot of people after me for my nine tails, getting a son out of nowhere is far more shocking to me" Naruto chuckled
"...you're rather mature"
"I'm mature? Now I'm curious, what is the me like in your timeline?" Naruto asked with a playful smile
Sasuke paused for a bit...
"Um, well, dad...he's a busy man"
"Oh? Let me guess, he became Hokage, got stuck doing paperwork all day, and hardly has time to visit his family" Naruto joked
"..." They didn't deny it
"You can't be serious...well, thankfully I gave up on that pointless dream" Naruto wiped his sweat and let out a sigh of relief
"What!? You gave up on being Hokage?" Sasuke gasped, he still remembered that he had once promised to compete with Naruto in becoming the next Hokage!
Yet in this timeline, he gave up on it?
"Well, duh, the third Hokage is covered in so much paperwork he begged Jiraiya of all people to take over, good thing we found Tsunade before he got too desperate and had her take over" Naruto shrugged
"Yes, that seems to be-...hm? Are you saying the third is alive?" Sasuke asked in shock
"Yeah, wasn't easy, but we were able to push back Orochimaru before things got too bad" Naruto replied
"..." At this point, he didn't know if he should be surprised or not, because this Naruto is simply too different to the one he knew!
Not to mention, he's actually got a brain! A good one at that!
"Oh, right, what about me, where am I at the moment?" Sasuke asked
"You? You deserted the village a few days ago, but seeing that you're now with my 'son', I assume I won't need to put you six feet under when we meet again" Naruto chuckled
"...what are you refering at?" Sasuke asked with a frown
"Huh, wait, am I missing something? Sasuke-san deserted the village?" Boruto asked, but was completely ignored
"Nothing~, I'm just thinking, since the you in this time line is a missing nin now, I should plant you six feet under if I were to meet him" Naruto had a rather playful smile on his face as he spoke
Boruto suddenly sensed a faint spark rise between the two, well, mainly from Sasuke's side as he felt he was being severely underestimated. If he could remember correctly, he and Naruto were not too different in strength at the moment, he my have been a tad stronger as well, and his future growth is also quite explosive.
"Since you're here, why don't you stay over at my place for now? Maybe we can get some training in" Naruto glanced at Boruto and said
"Huh? Training? I don't need training from you, I'm fifteen already, and how old are you? You're two years younger, even if you're my dad" Boruto huffed as he crossed his arms with a proud look on his face.
However, Naruto just smiled
*Whoosh*
*Bang*
Boruto suddenly felt something fly past his cheek at an incredible speed, followed by an explosion in the distance...
He turned around, and both he and Sasuke, revealed a look of shock as a massive crater was formed, along with many toppled trees in the distance. They shifted their eyes back to Naruto, who was in a throwing motion...
"I'm being nice since you're apparently my son, training begins when we reach the training ground, got it?" Naruto placed his hand on Boruto's shoulders and said with a 'friendly' smile...
*Gulp*
"Y-Yes" He nodded
Sasuke was still in shock, the power behind that attack, it was something that the current Naruto shouldn't be capable of! He's only thirteen!
'No wonder...he has full confidence in beating the me of this timeline' Sasuke gulped, doesn't that mean that the him of this timeline will get bullied by Naruto in the future???
The three of them hopped down from the walls, and headed for the training grounds. Sasuke initially didn't want to get too involved, but upon learning that this is an alternate universe where his own timeline won't be affected, he had a lot less worries.
Not to mention, he was quite curious about the Naruto of this timeline, and wanted to see what he is capable of.
"Alright~, kid, show me what you're capable of right now" Naruto gestured for Boruto to come at him.
"You're younger than me" Boruto snorted, but he didn't dare to take Naruto on lightly
"Rule one...never let your opponent out of sight" Naruto smiled
"Of course I know th-"
*Swoosh*
"Do you really?" Naruto appeared behind him and smiled
"Huh?" Boruto turned around, but Naruto vanished already
He turned back around, and Naruto is now standing where he originally was, which left him at a complete loss.
"Th-This, how did you do that, that was so cool!" His eyes shone
Naruto chuckled as he took out a kunai
"You should know the fourth Hokage, right?" Naruto said
"Yes! The yellow flash, also my grand-ah..." He paused, not knowing if Naruto knows about it
"Yes, he's your grandfather, also my dad, I got my hands on his list of jutsus" Naruto smiled
Sasuke observed, and the more he watched, the more he contemplated. Naruto is incredibly talented, not just to a normal degree, he's a monster. To use not just the rasengan earlier, but also the flying raijin!
He used it with so much ease that even he is surprised. With teleportation, one can easily get confused when they are moving between marks, but Naruto is doing it as easy as he is breathing.
"Hm, show me what jutsus you know" Naruto said
"Alright, here I go!" Boruto took out three shurikens, which were infused with lightning chakra before he threw them at him.
Once he threw them, he created a clone before dashing towards Naruto.
"Tch, learning from an Uchiha before your own clan" Naruto clicked his tongue as he cursed the other timeline's Naruto for being less of a dad to Boruto than Sasuke.
He created a rasengan and simply flicked it forward
"H-Huh?"
*Ding*
The shurikens he threw all got sucked into the rasengan, and as it came towards him, a powerful suction force also pulled him into it. But before he touched it, it turns into repulsion force, that pushed him to the ground.
*Ding*
Three consecutive shurkens then landed right beside his head, causing sweat to roll down his face.
"Wh-What was that?" Boruto asked
"The rasengan" Naruto replied
"HUH!? That is nothing like the one Sasuke-san showed me!" Boruto gasped
"What does he know about the rasengan?" Naruto rolled his eyes
"Watch carefully, the rasengan can be created without hand signs and delay, that is its biggest advantage, but it's damage is just so-so, thus, to overpower an opponent, you need to make sure they can't fight back" Naruto said
"How?" Boruto asked
Naruto raised one hand, and five rasengans appeared, one on each finger
!!!!
"Practice chakra control well, and you can maybe do this" Naruto said calmly as he dispersed them all
"...I don't think I can" Boruto said with a bitter look, how is he supposed to do that!?
"Don't worry, that is something that comes with time, the next thing about the rasengan is it's neutral nature, it can be integrated and changed much more freely than other jutsus, which is how I created the repulsion and absorption force" Naruto said as he began demonstrating the two types of rasengan.
Sasuke stared at it, without notice, his sharingan had activated in order to see the formation of all five rasengans as well as the nature changing rasengan. In the end, he kept comparing this Naruto the one of his universe, and the difference is simply too big!
Be it knowledge, strength, or maturity, he's on a much higher level! Plus, that analysing ability he has is simply unreal for a boy his age.
"Well, Sasuke, how about a friendly match?" Naruto smiled
"You want...to fight me?" Sasuke was a little perplexed, the difference between the two of them are quite big after all.
Naruto smiled
"I'm not asking because I'm confident in beating you, I'm asking so I can see my limit" Naruto replied
"I see...alright" Sasuke nodded
"Grea~t" Naruto grinned
Would he actually go all out? Hah, fat chance!
'I can't use it on the current Sasuke, but no one knows this is Sasuke, so I'll use it on you' He smirked in his heart as he prepared a seal...
"Let's start" Sasuke said, he didn't take on a battle stance, nor did he take out his weapon.
*Puff*
'Sage mode!' Sasuke stared in shock as Naruto just entered sage mode in an instant! Even Jiraiya is said to require meditation before activating sage mode!
"Sasuke, hope you watch out" Naruto chuckled as he summoned five rasengans in each hand
"Hah!" He threw all ten at Sasuke, who simply raised one hand as lightning sparked. The lightning formed a blade that he waved, and sliced the rasengans in two, dispersing them all with ease.
"So cool" Boruto exclaimed from the side
Sasuke glanced at Naruto, who suddenly became four!
'I didn't even notice when he created the clones, but no matter' He activated his sharingan, and immediately identified the one to the very left to be the real one.
Boruto watched in amazement, be it the multiple rasengans, or Sasuke's chidori blade, it all amazed him!
"You can cut ten, but what about forty?" All the clones crackled as they each summoned ten more
'Tch, that monstrous chakra of his' Sasuke clicked his tongue when he saw forty rasengans get thrown at him.
*Swoosh*
He waved the chodori in his hand, which shot out needle like projectiles towards the rasengans, and upon impact, caused a small explosion.
*Whoosh*
He heard kunais get thrown all around, and quickly realised that all four of them are now teleporting everywhere.
His eyes kept track on every one of them, and didn't let them get close. He slashed behind him, creating a small slash mark on the ground, right in front of Naruto's feet.
"I can see all your movements, give it up" Sasuke said calmly
"You can see it all? But...what about this?" Naruto smiled
All four of them are around Sasuke, surrounding him on four sides. Sasuke didn't know what they were going to do, but he was prepared to block everything.
"Uzumaki style: Super heaven binding titanium quadra seal!" Naruto yelled
'What is with that name!?'
"Hm!" A massive formation appeared below Sasuke's feet, with all four Narutos being the pillars around.
*Shing*
Chains shot out from all directions, wrapping him up tightly.
'This...can actually seal my chakra? Interesting...I can break out of it, but with how much effort he used, I should give him the win' Sasuke chuckled in his heart, seeing Naruto show so much potential, he was curious as to what his future would hold.
"You wi-"
"Ha! Genderbend style: Five minutes of total humiliation no jutsu!" Naruto formed another seal, and slapped it onto Sasuke's back
!!!
Sasuke was shocked when he heard the name of the jutsu, but after a bit, nothing happened. He heaved a sigh of relief as he shattered the chains.
"You scared me for a sec-"
*Puff*
"..."
"A~nd, recorded" Naruto grinned
Sasuke looked down at the two peaks on his chest, then at his slim waist and round behind...
"NARUTO!" Sasuke immediately activated both the Sharingan and Rinnegan out of sheer anger
"Ah, cool eyes" Naruto smiled
Sasuke gnashed his teeth tightly, he couldn't believe what Naruto had just done to him! And to make things scary, he actually couldn't dispel it!
Boruto's eyes widened, S-Sasuke turned into a mature woman!? A very beautiful one at that!
Sasuke glared at Naruto fiercely, if his Rinnegan wasn't already the peak of what a Sharingan evolve into, it may have just evolved right then and there...
"Dispel it immediately" Sasuke growled
"Aw, can the oh so great Sauske not dispel it on his own? Hehehe" Naruto placed his arm behind his head as he laughed
"DISPEL IT! NOW!" Sasuke roared
"Sorry, as I stated, it lasts for five minutes, even I can't do anything about it" Naruto shrugged
Boruto now held a newfound respect for Naruto, to actually pull such a prank on Sasuke! And it was also a jutsu that Sasuke himself couldn't dispel!?
Sasuke clicked his tongue, and wore his hood over his head, afraid to be seen by anyone at the moment.
Naruto chuckled as he took out a scroll
"Take this as a gift" He said
Sasuke caught the scroll, and wanted to tear it apart, but his curiosity got the best of him, so he opened it up. The moment he opened it, a scene played...
"B-Big brother!?" Sasuke's pupils shrunk as he stared at the scroll, he watched as his own brother get turned into a woman, much like himself right now...
He turned to Naruto in shock, even his own brother was caught by this brat's trickery! Now, Sasuke's heart was in shambles...he...he not only got caught in this trap, he now learned that even his own brother was not spared...
"Hehehe, hope you enjoy" Naruto winked
"..."
