Past and Future

Hi everyone!

This will be my first Naruto fan fiction 'Past and Future'. Enjoy

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto.

Summary: On a mission which goes wrong, Sakura found herself in the past when the Fourth Hokage was alive. What will Sakura do? Will she find a way back to her time or will she be stuck in the past and maybe fall for Minato?

Chapter 1. The mission fails and something goes wrong.

Sakura's point of view

This was supposed to be an easy mission. Get a scroll from the fire temple and get back to the village. But no of course something had to happen on my way back. 'Dammit!' I cursed in my mind. A situation like this, I wish sometimes Naruto was here, but no he had to go with Jiraiya to train. My life officially sucks right now. I forced myself to go faster, perhaps I could run from my enemy. A bitter laugh left my lips. I won' t able to reach Konoha in time before they got me. So the only chance I have is to fight them. I stopped and turned around, focused my chakra in my fist ready to punch the first enemy. A ninja in black clothes appeared in front of me. " Hand over the scroll now, or be ready to fight."

I chuckled and smirked at the ninja. I punched on the ground and made an earthquake to distract him. It took him by surprise that I used that. I jumped on the trees and ran as fast as I could towards Konoha. Suddenly I lost my balance and fell to the ground. The scroll fell under me, opening itself and suddenly a light appeared.

I closed my eyes and waited for the impact to the ground. But instead I felt something wet around me. Water. I swam to the surface, and managed to reach land. I was so tired. I laid on my back, breathing hard and closed my eyes trying to rest.

Sakura's point of view end

Sakura was awakened by voices. She tried to sit up but failed. She concentrated on the voices she heard. "I'll take one of the bells! Nothing will stop me." Then another voice spoke. " Sure, Obito. I doubt you will be able to do that." "Why you…" The two voices argued but a third voice, a female started to speak. "Stop it you two, let's go down to the water and drink." Sakura could hear them coming closer. She wasn't able to move anyway. So she lay still hoping they didn't notice her. But then the female voice spoke, "Look there is someone laying near the water. Obito go and get sensei."

"Hai" Sakura groaned 'Great they found me. I just hope they are not an enemy.'

Sakura didn't move when two hands touched her shoulder. " Rin! What's the matter?"

A male voice was heard. 'It must be their sensei, his voice is deep. What should I do?'

"Sensei, we found this girl just laying here. I don't know how long she has been here but her chakra is low. Should we take her to a hospital?"

'NO!' Sakura screamed in her mind. 'Maybe it's better if I woke up now?"' So she tried to move her body but it hurt everywhere. "Wait, maybe she is waking up now." One of the male voices said. Sakura opened her eyes but was blinded by the sun. "What the hell?" She mumbled and tried to sit up, but a hand stopped her. "Take it easy, you shouldn't try to move so fast." The deep male voice said. Sakura looked towards her right and saw a blonde man around twenty years old. 'Naruto? No, this person is older but he looks like Naruto.' Sakura looked around and saw a girl beside the blonde, with brown hair and stripes on her face. Then a boy with goggles over his eyes and then last … KAKASHI?

Sakura blinked a few times before she felt pain in her head. She grabbed her head with her hands. It hurt so much. 'So much pain… must make it stop.' The blonde was about to say something when he saw the girls hands started to glow green chakra around them. Her breathing became deeper. 'A medic ninja?' The blonde thought, but he was interrupted when her hands fell to side of her body. "Miss, are you alright?" She shook her head. Right after that she fainted. The blonde, who was known as Minato caught her before she fell back to the ground. The kids looked at the strange woman who fainted. "Sensei, what should we do with her?" Rin asked and was worried about the woman. "We take her to the hospital and let a doctor look at her wounds." Carefully Minato lifted Sakura up in his arms bridal style and ran towards the hospital.

Sakura was slowly woken up by some voices. 'Where am I'm?' She opened her eyes and saw white walls. 'Hospital, great now what am I going to do? What if they think I'm an enemy? And in which village?' She blinked few times before she could see clearly. "So, you are awake now?" Sakura looked towards the door and thought she was dreaming, 'the Third Hokage!' 'No way! He is supposed to be dead. Orochimaru killed him!' "Hokage-sama…?" The Third nodded and walked to her. Sakura was confused. "Where am I?" The old man chuckled "In Konoha of course. A team found you near the river and brought you here. What's your name?"

Sakura hesitated but answered "Sakura. Sir, which date is it?" Sakura felt stupid that she asked him such a question but she needed to know if her guess was right. "1899 and we are in The Third Shinobi War." Sakura eyes widened. "No way. How could it happen?" She whispered to herself. "Sakura I need you answer a few questions and be honest. I saw your headband, but I never seen you here. How come?"

Sakura nodded. "Yes, I'm a shinobi from Konoha but not from this time. Believe it or not but somehow I have traveled from the future to the past and I can prove it. In the future we have both Fourth and Fifth Hokages already." The Hokage nodded "Who were the Fourth and Fifth?"

"The Fourth Hokage was known as the yellow flash of Konoha, but he died when the Kyuubi attacked our village 19 years ago from my time line. And the Fifth Hokage is Tsunade–sama who also is my sensei." The look on the Thirds was priceless. "I see…well Sakura I believe in your story, but this information must be kept secret, as S-rank information. We will find a way back to your time to get you home. Until then, you have to stay here. I will fix papers for you, which rank are you?" "I was promoted to ANBU two months ago." The old man nodded. "Then the story will be you have been on a long time mission if someone asks you, all right?" Sakura nodded "Oh, Hokage-sama, not to be rude or anything but which team was it who found me?" The Third chuckled. "Team seven found you, which is Uchiha Obito, Hatake Kakashi, Rin, and Namikaze Minato who is the team leader." Sakura nodded "Arigato Hokage-sama."

He nodded. "Now I must leave and give information to the team, they thought you were an enemy. I'll tell them you are an ANBU medic ninja who returned from a long time mission." Sakura nodded "Thank you Lord Hokage."

With that the Third returned to his office where Minato and his team were waiting.

"So Lord Hokage, did you get anything from the girl? Jiraiya, who also was with the team waiting for the Third asked. He had heard the story from Minato about the girl. "Yes I did. She is one of the ANBU, I send out for a long time mission, but her teammate was killed on their way back to the village. The mission I gave them was dangerous and they knew they might not survive through it. She was lucky, she managed to escape from the enemy before they killed her. But when they caught up with her the only way she had out was the river. So she jumped into the water and prayed she would survive back. She held important information that we needed. "The Hokage said he sat down and looked at the team and Jiraiya. "So you don't need to worry if she is an enemy, relax." Jiraiya sighed, Minato chuckled and his teammates smiled. "At least that is the official version of her appearance" The third thought and chuckled. "Want to meet her?" They all lit up "Can we meet a member of the ANBU?" Obito asked happily. "Of course if you want, maybe you will learn how serious it is out there on the battlefields. She is one of many ANBU who have been close to the death in battles she has fought, even for a medic ninja." "But I thought medic ninja didn't go into battles just were behind to heal the teammates." Rin asked. The Third nodded "True but sometimes even the medic ninja must fight. They must be ready to fight to save their teammates from dying and at the same time, they must be able to fight in combat against their medic ninja are they who have from almost perfect chakra control to 100% perfect control. And Sakura is one of our best except Tsunade herself in medic. Maybe if you ask nice Sakura might teach you Rin. I'm sure Sakura would do that." The Third said and smiled. "Hokage-sama can we meet her now? Please?" Obito said with puppy eyes. "Of course do the rest of you want to meet her?" Minato looked at Jiraiya and Kakashi they both nodded "All right let's go and meet her." They walked to the hospital and up to the room Sakura was in. They walked in and saw a fully dressed Sakura talking to a doctor. Then they turned to the visitors. "Ah, Hokage-sama. I have checked on Sakura-sama and was about to let her go." The Third nodded. "Actually we wanted talk with Sakura if you would please leave for a moment?" The doctor nodded and walked out. Sakura looked at her visitors and narrowed her eyes when she saw Jiraiya who had hearts in his eyes. "Hello, beautiful lady, you might not know me but I'm Jiraiya the toad sage, Legendary Sanin of Konoha. If you ever want company just call for me so…." PUNCH! Sakura punched Jiraiya and he crashed into the wall. Sakura snorted "Pervert" and glared at the said person. The Hokage chuckled. So you know Jiraiya, thats great so I don't need warn you about him. Many things have happened here while you were gone Sakura." Sakura nodded "Yeah, I understand that." "Anyway this is the team who found you by the river yesterday." "Arigato for the help I don't know if I would have been able to get here without your help. The enemy forced me to use almost all of my charka before I got into the river." Obito started to speak. "Wow, are you really an ANBU? I mean you look so young to be an ANBU, don't get me wrong miss. I just was wondering." Sakura smiled "Don't worry I know I look young in fact, I'm only 19 years old." Obito eyes widened. "You managed to be an ANBU so young?" "Obito that's enough don't ask such questions. I'm sorry if he offended you Sakura-chan." Minato said with an apologetic look on his face. Sakura smiled "Don't worry, he didn't offend me. Obito, I can't tell you so much about that, but I can tell you this. On a mission I lost a very close friend of mine, he was a teammate of mine and he betrayed both me and my other teammates. It hurt, but what hurt even more was when I was forced to fight him on my own. He had reasons to do that but still…" Sakura grimaced at the memories "Sasuke…" Obito looked at her seriously "What happened to the guy after he betrayed you?" "He died by my hands." Once more a grimace appeared on Sakura's face. She looked out through the window and closed her eyes. Tears were about to fall and she didn't want to cry in front of people she barely knew. A sigh escaped her lips, like it was a signal which said 'I don't want talk about it anymore can we talk about something else?' The old man understood Sakura didn't want talk about it so he decided to talk "Sakura, I want to ask you for a favor, if it's all right with you?" Sakura collected her emotions and looked back to the Hokage and nodded. "Sure what is it?" "Rin here is the medic ninja in team seven, but I want to ask you if you could train her for a while? Her medic jutsu needs be stronger, more effect. Do you understand what I mean?" "Yes, and I would happy to help Rin with her training." Rin looked happy when Sakura said that. "Really? You would train me?" Sakura nodded. "Sure why not. It's not like I'm going anywhere for a while." Said Sakura and chuckled. "When will we start?" "What about tomorrow? I have a few things to do before and I need talk to you, Hokage-sama, if it's all right with you?" The Third nodded. Then Kakashi, who looked skeptical the whole time spoke up "If you are an ANBU shouldn't you have a mask like other ANBU use?" Sakura calmly looked at Kakashi. "I had one but I lost it when I got into the water, but enough of it, please I don't want to talk about the mission anymore."

"It's decided then. Sakura, you start training Rin tomorrow. You will meet them on training ground seven, alright? You can leave now so I can talk to Sakura alone for a while. Dismissed." The Third said. Team seven and Jiraiya walked out and left Sakura with the Third. "Hokage-sama just one question, where will I live while I'm here?" "I have an apartment you can borrow while you are here. And I also have one question, who was your sensei?" "I trained under Kakashi-sensei then under Tsunade–sama to be a medic ninja." "Really, then you have her inhuman strength?" "Yes, I do." "Sakura promise me one thing. You won't tell them the truth or show them your strength unless it's necessary." "Of course Hokage-sama." "Then here is the key and the address to the apartment." "Thank you very much sir. I'm grateful for your help." "Yeah, go now before the doctor decides to make you stay here longer." Sakura bowed and walked out. The Hokage chuckled 'Perhaps this might change everything.'

Sakura walked to her apartment. She bought some food on the way. When she arrived to the apartment she put the food where it should be and walked to the bedroom and fell asleep, unaware of the tears falling on her check.
