Chap. 29: Naruto's Jutsu Mixup
Sasuke, and Hinami were waiting for Naruto on the bridge just outside the hyuga compound. Hinami wore an maroon-purple sleeveless cropped top zipped up to her neck with a cropped sky blue jacket overtop, wearing black shorts with a skirt stopping mid thigh. Wearing her black hair in two braids with light blue ribbons at the base, a yellow strand going through the braid on the right side with a lilac purple strand going through the braid on the left side. Wearing her headband around her left thigh, her bangs falling over her face wearing black arm protectors on her forearms, wearing shinguards on her shins going over her black sandals, her silver locket sitting over her neck resting over her chest inside the jacket.
"No clue what Naruto wanted us to wait here for." Sasuke said in response, glancing over, wearing his black hair spiked behind his head, his headband strapped to his forehead as he wore a blue shortsleeve shirt with large collar paired with tan shorts, wearing his shuriken holster on his right thigh with his kunai pouch on his back, wearing white arm warmers on either arm, blue sandals on his feet. Hinami shrugging in response
"Whatever it is, I don't have a good feeling about it." Hinami commented, looking towards the other two, leaning against the red railings of the bridge, looking towards the river, below them the sky above them was cloudless, as the sun beat down around them.
"Hey! Hinami! Sasuke! you waited for me!" Naruto said he wore a blue to orange ninja outfit with his chunin vest overtop, wearing his headband around his forehead, his blonde spiking partially over the metal. Wearing his shuriken holster on his right thigh with his kunai pouch on his back waist. He held a green scroll in his left hand
"I suddenly have a bad feeling…" Hinami said and Sasuke hummed looking towards Naruto
"What did you do you idiot?" Sasuke said,
"I found this jutsu, come on its like this!" Naruto said, Neji walking down the street, speaking with Hinata as he did
"Naruto stop! thats not the jutsu you--" Hinami started
"Wait! you idiot this isn't a--" Sasuke started at the same time, the two reaching out to stop Narutos handsigns, as Neji took notice, he and Hinata going to walk up as well, before the entire team disappeared, a burned green scroll dropping onto the ground from where theyd been standing.
"whered they go?" Hinata said
"Dont know… but we should bring this to the hokage right away." Neji said lifting the scroll,
"Naruto had this scroll in his hand, your positive?" Minato questioned Neji and Hinata as they brought the scroll to him, the boy nodded,
"It looks like a transportation technique, but from Hinami and Sasuke's reactions…" Neji said in return
"Where did they go? we can find them right?" Hinata said
"The question isn't where, it's when. This is a time travel jutsu. It's a Senju clan jutsu… Please ask lord Kansai to come here right away." Minato explained,
"Well… Naruto certainly doesn't do things halfway." Kakashi said from the side with a hand on his face
Hinami, Sasuke, and Naruto were passed out in the middle of the forest, Hinami laying on her side, facing Naruto who was laying on his stomach, his head turned to the side. Sasuke lay on the other side facing Naruto. 'What did you get us into now… Naruto' Hinami thought, maintaining even breathes and her heartrate to give the illusion of sleep. Footsteps could be heard approaching them, rapidly, two people, mid twenties at least, from what Hinami could discern. The only reason she was able to retain consciousness was her training to use the flying raijin jutsu as well as her anbu training, training that the others did not have. As none of them but her could use the flying raijin jutsu, though, Naruto was in the middle of training to use it.
"Brother! there are children here!" A voice called, coming from a few meters away from the team. the voice was deep, a man in his mid 20s, another set of footsteps,
"They wear our headband… but I don't recognize them, do you, brother?" another voice questioned the sound of fabric moving together filled the air, as the men stepped closer the grass crunching beneath their feet, Hinami shot up using rotation to send them back. her byakugan active, as she held her staff, standing ready for a fight, 'her stance… it's a mix between the Senju and Hyuga basic forms..' Tobirama thought, as he stood also ready to fight, as Hashirama put his hands up,
"We're not here to fight you. Who are you? What clans do you hail from?" He questioned, his black hair was behind his head, reaching his waist, his headband with the leaf's insignia in the middle, wearing black ninja outfit with sandals wrapping around his feet, wearing red armor overtop. The girl froze a moment, dropping her staff
"Ah… That would be Senju, Uchiha, and Namikaze. Gra…. sir. I'm Hinami…" Hinami said going to say something else before her eyes rolled back and she fell forwards, Tobirama catching her before she could hit the ground,
"Exhausted. Her chakra's also depleted. It's the same with the other two…" he said looking over towards his brother,
"She definitely bares a resemblance to you brother." Tobirama commented, as they lifted the children,
"...Nami…Hinami… Hinami wake up ya know" Naruto said poking the girl, they were in a room of somesort, gray walls surrounding them, with the three laying on tatami mats on the floor,
"You moron that's never going to wake her up." Sasuke said from the other side of the room, looking over at Naruto, who continued to poke Hinami's cheek, the girl not even stirring, her black hair sprawled on the pillow behind her. Sasuke and Naruto fighting over how to wake Hinami. Before Naruto hummed and just walked over, sitting on the girls abdomen, causing her to shoot up, unable to breath.
"N--Naruto--- I can't breath… Get off…" Hinami wheezed,
"You've gotta stay awake." he said in return,
"Yes! Yes. Fine! Just move…" Hinami said trying and failing to regain her breath. Naruto looked triumpetly towards Sasuke, as he gestured to the girl
"She's awa--oof." He started before Hinami knocked his feet from under him, forcing him to fall to the ground, catching herself on her hands right as their saviors? Walked in the door scraping against the cement floor, honestly, it kinda looked something akin to a holding cell, or possibly an inn… with a window out of reach without climbing and a desk full of experiments or scrolls, a lab of somekind…
"Ah, you're all awake." Hashirama said walking into the room with Tobirama, the two sat down across from the kids, Naruto still on the ground holding his head,
"Not on purpose." Hinami said in response, before putting her arm up as a block as Tobirama went to drop water on her head, the water coating her arm and hair, causing it to fall flat around her head, glaring over towards the sec-- the advisor to the hokage, as Naruto laughed towards her openingly,
"That was unnecessary." She said
"Who are you and how did you get here, I've figured your not from our time." Tobirama said in response,
"I'm Hinami, These are my teammates, Sasuke and Naruto…" She started before being cut off,
"I'm gonna be hokage ya know! Believe it!" Naruto said from the side,
"Before that you might want to read at the jutsu you use, idiot." Sasuke said from the side,
"Aw come on you guys! It wasn't that bad, how was I supposed to know that jutsu would do that… ya know… it wasn't written on the scroll come on. I thought it was a teleportation jutsu." Naruto said rubbing the back of his head in a nervous tic as he looked towards Sasuke, Hinami, who were waiting for his explanation.
"Did you read it?" Sasuke said, Hinami stepping back as Naruto jumped over,
"Well yeah… It was a ummm… a transportation jutsu?" Naruto said Hinami putting her face in her hand,
"Gee. Thanks genius. Nobody figured that much out. Seriously sometimes I wonder how you graduated the academy" Sasuke said, Naruto grabbing his collar
"Boys…" Hinami said from behind them,
"What was that?!" Naruto said, Sasuke grabbing his collar in retaliation,
"You heard me. You never read the full description of jutsu you use, which gets us into these messes." Sasuke said
"Just cause you were top of the class doesn't mean your better." Naruto said in response, the two leaning into eachothers faces, before the two were on the ground, Hinami having hit the top of both of their heads,
"Will you two idiots shut up for two seconds." Hinami said in response, the ground beneath both of their bodies cracking up to where Hashirama and Tobirama sat, cracking one of the windows.
"Awe come on Hinami, I was just…" Naruto said before paling, Hinami looking over with her byakugan active,
"You know what, nevermind." He said in return, passing over a parchment which Hinami passed over to Tobirama and Hashirama.
"The jutsu he used. He's actually pretty smart just excitable. Hopefully… he starts reading the label of jutsu." Hinami said rubbing her head
"I see… I think I can piece together what happened. It'll take some time to… undo this predicament." He said in response as Naruto's cheeks dusted a light pink,
"how far into the future are you from?" Hashirama questioned
"At least… hmm seven… no eight decades… maybe nine. Lets see… maybe it's more accurate to say six decades?" Hinami said a hand on her chin,
"His dads the fifth hokage, her dads the fourth hokage. that answer your question?" Sasuke questioned and Hinami looked over,
"Sure if you want to take the fun out of it, just tell him that." she said, the flowers in her hair changing color to bright pink,
"You have the forest release kekkei tota?" Hashirama questioned, the girl freezing, before confirming as such, she ended up confirming her lineage and ties directly to Hashirama. But not much else, Hinami was always taught about the dangers of timetravel jutsu and messing with the timeline, to the point they'd agreed never to use such a jutsu, even to bring back someone dear that died.
Hashirama spoke to Hinami and ending up agreeing to help them train. The three were going to be stuck in the past for at least two days, so they were taking advantage of every opportunity they could. Currently, Sasuke and Naruto stood on the training grounds with Hinami, Hashirama standing across from them, wearing a dark red kimono shirt with black pants, his sandals wrapping around his feet. Hinami wearing her black hair in two braids with light blue ribbons at the bases, a yellow strand going through the braid on the right side with a lilac purple strand going through the braid on the left side. Wearing her headband around her left thigh, her bangs falling over her face wearing black arm protectors on her forearms, wearing shinguards on her shins going over her black sandals, . Her outfit showing the spiderweb lightning scar she had traveling up the right side of her abdomen, as well as up her right arm. The scar on the left side of her face on full display. The training grounds were ones outside of the village, a grove of trees surrounding the clearing, these grounds having only been used by Tobirama and Hashirama previously.
"Let's see what you've got, Hinami. Naruto. Sasuke. Don't hold back." Hashirama said and the three nodded in return, before Hinami activated her byakugan, sending kunai forwards, which Hashirama blocked, Hinami jumping up as she sent woodstyle kunai forwards at the same moment, forcing Hashirama to block those as well, as Hinami and Naruto used the flying raijin jutsu, to land on either side of Hashirama going for an attack on his sides, the man grabbing Hinamis leg and sending her into Naruto, the two sliding back on the ground. Sasuke threw shuriken forwards, his 3-tomue Sharingan active.
"Lightning style, scattered sparks." he said calmly, lightning dancing from blade to blade, Hashirama moving a tree in front of himself where the shuriken lodged themselves. 'They work together well and theyre strong. They goof around but theyre actually a well balanced team. Hinami at long and close range. Naruto at mid range. and Sasuke at close range. an interesting team indeed' Hashirama thought as Naruto jumped back Hinami jumping to the side as a tree came up behind her. Running forwards, towards Hashirama for a frontal assault. the man hummed at her boldness.
"You have quick reflexes." Hashirama commented and Hinami hummed, in response,
"Well, I am a jonin after all." Hinami said blocking Hashirama's arm, sending her palm forwards that was also blocked, before she sent her leg to his side, forcing Hashirama forwards a few steps. Before Hinami jumped on his back,
"Interesting tactic." Hashirama commented noting the wood kunai on his neck, Naruto running forwards with a ball of chakra on his right hand 'a shadowclone?' Hashirama thought
"Hey, I'm short, how else was this supposed to work? Kakashi sensei said your not suppose to let your enemy behind you though." Hinami said in response before wheezing as Hashirama flipped her onto the ground faster than she could blink, The girl hitting Naruto on the way down, his jutsu causing a crater to form, the two groaning,
"That might work against weaker opponents, but you give your opponent the opportunity to do that." Hashirama commented as Hinami wheezed on the ground, Sasuke running up from the treeline throwing three shuriken, using the shadowclone jutsu to multiply the weapons as he continued to move. Hinami sending water style waves from her mouth to mix with the lightning style shuriken that were sent forwards causing Hashirama to slide back on the ground, but, it wasn't enough to break through his guard.
"Interesting. You've got a long way to go before you'll be able to break guards with the collaborative ninjutsu, you need some more training with that." Hashirama commented and Hinami hummed,
"You give a lot of lectures old man." she said and Hashirama laughed, blocking the two jutsu's
"Perhaps." He commented, in response looking towards Hinami, before she poofed from existence
"Gentle fist!" Hinami said from behind him, Hashirama coughed before he was sent flying forwards, the man sliding on the overturned grass, Tobirama looking from the sidelines overseeing the match, 'Naruto's just like elder brother… he has massive reserves of chakra as well, interesting. The twins also have large chakra reserves, and Hinami seems to hold more intelligence then she lets on. seems she's the leader of the group. The uchiha child seems to keep to himself more, but he cares just as much as the other three, truly an interesting team.' Tobirama thought, looking towards the fight once more. Hinami and Hashirama jumped apart after their kunai clicked together, both holding evidence from a battle, Hinami placing her hands on the ground, before lifting her arms, bringing up two trees that went towards Hashirama, who jumped out of the way, Hashirama sending wood shuriken towards them. Sasuke knocking them away, jumping onto one of the branches, Hinami creating a wood dome that the woodstyle shuriken lodged themselves in. Hashirama using his deep forest emergence to clash with Hinami's trees, Hinami sliding in between the trees, Naruto and Sasuke running on either side of the trees as Hinami sent them forwards. Hinami running forwards with them, At least, that's what she'd started to do, before she froze. Noting the serious expression on Hashirama's face. Hinami was hit head on with Hashirama's trees, the girl tumbling across the training grounds, Hinami jumping back up.
"What happened there, You lost focus for a moment Hinami." Sasuke said,
"Man that was so lame Hinami! come on ya know." Naruto said, Hinami looked over, rubbing her cheek a moment,
"You don't need to be so mean." Hinami said hanging her head a moment, before placing her hand on the ground
"Now! Sasuke, Naruto!" Hinami said 'Earthstyle mudswamp.' she thought, the ground around Hashiramas feet becoming moist as his feet sank into the ground. 'So that's their play, huh. interesting' Hashirama thought, a forest continuing to make it's way towards him, blocking his vision as vines wrapped around his legs, trapping him in place further, forcing him to face whatever attack they were planning, head on.
"Firestyle, Phoenix flower jutsu." Sasuke said spewing fire from his mouth
"Windstyle breakthrough." Naruto followed with
"Fire tornado." they said as the jutsus combined to one firey tornado, headed for Hashirama who moved his arms up in front of himself to block using his woodstyle face, finding the fire tornado cracked the wood and left most of the face damaged, but it did not break through. Hinami looking away from the jutsu, a tear slipping past her eye as she did so. It was a similar move that she and Geikan had tried against the masked man and had failed miserably. But this was only training so they would be fine.
"That was our ultimate move ya know." Naruto said as the wood returned to the ground, which also returned to normal.
"How strong even are you?" Hinami said
"That wasn't a proper ack!" Naruto started, teasing the girl before getting a vineball right to the face, knocking him back a few steps
"You're the last person who can lecture me on that." Hinami said in return
"You three did better than expected, you're stronger than I thought." Hashirama said his hands on his hips as the jutsu's faded, looking towards the kids as he laughed a moment a hand behind his head as Sasuke looked over, brushing himself off a moment, before shrugging
"Hey! I know what'll work! It worked against Iruka sensei, and old man 3rd too. No way we're done yet ya know!" Naruto said, running up, Hashirama humming as he turned,
"This is my Harem jutsu!" Naruto said
"There is no way that's going to work…" Hinami said shaking her head,
"He's hopeless." Sasuke said in return, the two standing off to the side,
"What is he doing?" Tobirama said
"You do not want to know." Hinami said in response, before a puff of smoke enveloped Naruto, a near naked woman in his place,
"Good try Naruto, but that jutsu won't work on me." Hashirama said laughing,
"Such vulgar jutsu." Tobirama said,
"Yep… his own invention.." Hinami said in response, her hand on her head
"Did it seriously work against Iruka sensei?" Sasuke asked and Hinami nodded,
"Yeah, a few times actually… he's definitely a perv. The only pervert that jutsu hasn't worked on is… uh… Kakashi sensei I think." Hinami said in response, a hand on her chin.
The three were allowed to sleep in the lab, as it was away from the village and Tobirama had futons there anway, it was equipped with a sink near the building, and there was an outhouse nearby so it would be fine. Besides, the man wanted them to remain where they could be kept under watch. Hinami slept on the mat closest to the wall with the windows, with Naruto and Sasuke at different spots, just to avoid Naruto's starfishing ways when he slept.
"Hi…nami… Why… Why did you let us down?" Geikan said, before he Anita, and Airu yelled it in anger. The girl awoke with a start, her byakugan active standing quietly as she could, blinking to deactivate her byakugan, she made her way to the door, heading to the sink that was attached to the outside of the building and washing her hands, blood dripped onto her hands from Anita's missing arm as she continued to try and save the appendage… but.. But it wasn't…
"It won't get off… It won't come off…" She said quietly, she was wearing a sleeveless dress which she'd had on her the other two sleeping in their mission gear. Tears clouded her vision as they hit the metal of the sink, adding to the water that was running into the drain. Before she turned off the sink, her tears still hitting the metal like a never ending waterfall, Tobirama placing a hand on her head guiding her head towards him to hug her. Saying nothing as he allowed her to cry against the man. He'd been coming to the lab in order to do some deconstruction of the jutsu that'd been used. It was early enough in the day that the sun hadn't even risen yet. As such, Naruto and Sasuke were still sleeping inside.
"Do you wish to speak about it?" Tobirama asked as they sat on the roof of the lab, and Hinami looked over, before looking away,
"Airu sensei, Geikan and Anita… they were… my team. Before Naruto and Sasuke, before the AnBu… but they were killed while on mission because my medical ninjutsu wasn't and still isn't any good. I can heal myself but when it comes to other people… I… I can't." Hinami said in response and Tobirama hummed, passing her an onigiri,
"Geikan wanted to be hokage… he was… a lot like Naruto, more stupid, but just as hyperactive. I worry… that Naruto's going to…" Hinami started before stopping herself
"You're worried he's going to die." Tobirama commented and Hinami nodded, taking a bite of the onigiri,
"From what I've seen… you three are, strong ninja, capable. But, I can't say for sure what the future holds for you. But, Naruto has that same spark that my brother does. So I think he'll be okay." Tobirama said and Hinami looking over,
"I hope so…" She said in response, looking to the sky,
"This seat taken?" Hashirama questioned and Tobirama hummed,
"I'm going to go dissect that jutsu that brought you all here. In order to get you home." Tobirama said, placing a hand on Hinami's head a moment before jumping off of the roof, entering the lab quietly.
"If you look for the light, you will often find it… But, if you only look for darkness, then that's all you'll see." Hashirama commented and Hinami looked over in question,
"Look out at the sky, tell me what it is you see." He continued and Hinami raised an eyebrow before looking up towards the sky,
"What do you mean? The stars?" Hinami questioned and Hashirama hummed,
"No. The moon." He said and Hinami looked over,
"The moon cannot shine on it's own, it relies on the suns help to do so. Just as the sun cannot light up the night it needs the moon. These two things are in balance. In life, one of the most important things for someone to do, is to get back up. But they needn't do it alone." Hashirama commented and Hinami looked over,
"You were listening to our conversation?" Hinami asked and Hashirama nodded,
"From what it sounds like… You're trying to learn medical ninjutsu, ninjutsu, fighting, all the while protecting your team, on your own. You're not actually thinking of them as a team, as equals to yourself, instead your looking at it as though they're helpless. Or need your constant protection. A team is meant to hold the weight of missions together, the weight of the world, together, it balances out that way." Hashirama commented
"I… think I get it? There was nothing in the records about you going philosophical…" Hinami said, rubbing the back of her head, and Hashirama winked as he pointed his finger out a moment, looking over towards her as he wore a red kimono shirt with black pants, wearing his black hair down behind his head with his bangs on either side.
"It'll be our secret then." Hashirama said and Hinami looked over, before laughing behind her hand
"Okay." She said in return,
"Man… Ikumi's gonna be so mad." Hinami said rubbing her head a moment,
"Ikumi?" Hashirama asked in question and Hinami nodded,
"Yeah, he's my kid brother. 7. I told him I'd help train his woodstyle… yesterday… but heh… well…" Hinami said in response, gesturing vaguely around at the village, Hashirama making an O sound a moment. Before pointing out towards the edge of the village,
"Look at that." He commented and Hinami raised an eyebrow, before the sun began to rise, casting a glow on the village,
"I've never seen the sun rise from this point of view before, usually, I'm at ground level. It looks incredible." Hinami said, Hashirama placed a hand on her shoulder, a grin on his face.
"Sunrises and Sunsets, they always manage to calm me down. I thought it might be the same for you." He said in return, placing a hand on her shoulder and Hinami nodded
"It took some time, but I was able to reverse the jutsu that Naruto used to bring you three here. I'll be erasing your memories of this entire ordeal. As well as our own." Tobirama said and Hinami nodded they stood inside Tobirama's lab, the concrete walls sitting around them,
"Ah what, why? Come on let us keep our memories ya know." Naruto said right after, his blonde hair spiking around his headband, wearing a blue-orange ninja outfit with his shurike holster on his right thigh with a kunai pouch on his back waist. His violet eyes looking forwards,
"The timeline you idiot. That's why." Sasuke said in response, rolling his eyes at the boy. His black hair spiked behind his head, his headband strapped to his forehead as he wore a blue shortsleeve shirt with large collar paired with tan shorts, wearing his shuriken holster on his right thigh with his kunai pouch on his back, wearing white arm warmers on either arm, blue sandals on his feet. Hinami nodded on the otherside,
"Thanks for everything." She said, her black hair in two braids with light blue ribbons at the bases, a yellow strand going through the braid on the right side with a lilac purple strand going through the braid on the left side. Wearing her headband around her left thigh, her bangs falling over her face wearing black arm protectors on her forearms, wearing shinguards on her shins going over her black sandals, she hugged Tobirama and Hashirama who were sitting together as they broke the news to the children who'd been trapped there for a a week at this point. Unsure how they would return. Tobirama and Hashirama looked shocked for a moment before returning the sentiment, Hashirama placing his hand on their heads briefly.
"Yeah… Thanks…" Naruto said Hashirama placing a hand on the back of Hinami's head before she released them, standing with her teammates, Tobirama nodded in response. Looking towards them seriously, moving his hands quickly,
"Alright… here we go." he said performing the needed jutsu signs, Hinami Sasuke and Naruto standing in the middle of a jutsu formula, which lit up around them, a bright flash enveloping them.
"Goodbye…" Hinami said before they dissappeared,
"Hinami! Sasuke. Naruto. You're back! It worked. Are you okay?" Kiyoka said looking over at the three who were jumped back from the past. The three were standing for a moment, before falling to the ground, passed out. They were called to Tobirama's old lab, the walls grayed out and old with age, a cobweb in the corner, papers over the desk, the floor coated in a fine layer of dust. Hadami, Kusina, and Mikoto catching the three before they could hit the ground. All of them were passed out from whatever journey they'd taken
"Must have been interesting, none of them seem to have any damage to their chakra networks." Hadami said looking over at the other three, holding Hinami, the woman sighing a moment, they'd been looking for any evidence as to where in the past the four were dropped but were unable to find any evidence, when they reappeared.
"That's a relief." Kushina commented, before apologizing on Naruto's behalf, the entire ordeal was caused by him, after all. The three made a full recovery with no memory of their ordeal, and no stories to tell. However, the twins were a lot more confident in using the Forest release, and they could now walk through trees to get to places, though it only worked for a short distance. They'd been gone a week but had no memory of the event, nothing to tell.
