Okay so no lie I have been obsessed with this concept for the past couple of days. I recently read a story with the same theme of time travel along with Kakashi and Naruto but it moved really fast for me and I couldn't understand how someone as thick headed as Naruto and Kakashi had gotten together... But! as I was busting my brain I began typing and next thing I knew... BAM! 70 pages and at this point I was like ya know what imam just put it up maybe i'll get some good ideas from the public. So Yea... here we are...

Note: I do not own any of Kishimoto's Character's (I have not reached that level of awesomeness) and I may... will change and age things to the story so please bare with me... Is it bare or bear? whateves

ENJOY!

In the forest of the training grounds all was surprisingly quiet. Teams were working on missions or taking a much needed break in the lull of the moment. To be perfectly honest there was no better time for the hand from within the water to reach out.

Had it been any other time it surely would have scared the bejeznits out of someone as like a scene from a horror film the hand pulled its way up onto the shore and dragged the body it was connected to along with it.

The person in question was small though looking no more that 7 years of age. He threw himself haphazardly on his back taking calming breaths. Opening large cerulean blue eyes he stared at the equally blue sky. He was bone tired and his body ached but that didn't really prevent him from moving instead it was the unbearable emptiness that cascaded over him. The child had lost a lot but he knew that he would get by but this emptiness…

He wasn't entirely sure.

Tears pricked his eyes and instead of trying to contain it he decided to let them free fall. He would hardly have time to be this overwhelmed with his sadness after this so he might as well indulge now.

And he did.

First just letting the tears fall silently, then he remembered faces and a soft hiccup started. Then as more of the reality of the present and the future settled he began to bawl.

He was being loud and obnoxious as he wailed tears failing and he didn't care. He just had to cry he just wanted to cry in this moment and be sad.

And Naruto did. In a ten year old body thrown into the past in order to save the world from the terrible future that he had experienced.

Naruto sat there and cried.
