Journey Back In Time

Rewind II: Because I'm Your Daughter

Not to mention Sasuke's absence.

"I know, Sakura." The blonde whispered in dismay, unable to make eye contact with the pink-haired girl. "I didn't think-"

"Bring me there."

Sakura turned around, following her husband's voice, while the blue-eyed boy looked up at his best friend. Sasuke's crimson eyes were glaring straight at him, and the blonde knew what he wanted to do.

Naruto frowned, returning his friend's strong glare. "You can't, Sasuke. There's no way in hell you can exist in two places at once."

"What do you think we should do then?" The raven-haired boy spat.

Naruto loosened his expression and took a deep breath.

"You're just going to have to leave it to Sarada-chan."

"What are you saying, Naruto!?" Sakura yelled again, unable to comprehend how absurd everything was. "Sarada is in there all alone and you damn well know what went on between all of us 20 years ago!" She continued, pausing before her next burst.

"HOW ABOUT I JUST THROW BORUTO AND HIMAWARI IN THERE TO HANGOUT WITH THE KYUUBI?"

At that moment, Naruto slammed his hands down on the desk, causing the papers on it to fly off in all directions. Sakura flinched from his sudden movement while Sasuke remained unphased.

"Just how long are you going to keep it from her!?" The blonde screams before starting again.

"She's your daughter. She needs to know at some point, and you two are always underestimating her." Naruto turned around so that he was now facing the glass window where the village could be seen, almost as if he was dismissing the two of them from further conversation. "You guys are her parents, for god's sake. If you won't trust that she'll return safely, then I will."

Sakura's expression turned sullen, and a wave of emotion overcame her before she spoke softly. "But still, to go see it for herself..."

"Seeing it is one thing."

Naruto's eyes shifted to the side as Sasuke spoke, a harsh tone present in his voice. He could practically feel his red eyes stabbing through his back.

"But if something happens to her in there, I really doubt your judgment as a Hokage."

The two of them stood still as the raven-haired boy shifted around and made an exit out of the door, failing to close it on his way out.

"Ouch.."

Sarada woke up from being unconscious, clutching her head from the dizziness of her fall.

The white space wasn't very nice this time. When she entered this time-point, it simply sent her dropping from what seemed like the sky until she fell smack on the ground.

She opened her other eye and took a long look around her. After getting herself up and turning around 360, all she could see were tall trees. She was in the middle of a forest.. and who knew if she was even in Konoha.

I should probably start looking for people... Sarada thought, beginning to walk along the dirt path of the forest.

She wondered what time it was at this time-point. Maybe her parents were 20. Maybe they were 10. There was no way she could've known.

It was quite exhilarating to her, actually. The Uchiha heiress gave herself a grin in excitement. After her experience at the first time-point, she felt like she was ready for anything.
