Chapter 1:

Team Minato was sitting around a fire in the woods after a stressful mission. It had taken them far from Konoha, so they were camping for the night before getting back home. Luckily, none of them had been seriously injured.

"Everyone, get some rest," Minato said. "We're running all the way back to Konoha tomorrow."

Obito groaned, Kakashi nodded, and Rin replied, "Yes, Sensei." Suddenly, they heard a voice in their heads.

Umm…testing, testing. Does this even work?

"Did you guys hear that?" Rin asked, unnerved.

"Yeah," Obito replied. "What was that?"

"It was obviously a voice, you idiot," Kakashi muttered. Obito turned to glare at Kakashi.

"What'd you say, you damn bastard?"

Rin tried to calm them down. "Now, now, you two, let's not fight." Minato sighed, shaking his head at their antics. Just the slightest thing could start an argument between those two.

Good, it looks like it's working. My name is… Sorry, but I just found out that I can't give you my name!

Kakashi's eyes narrowed. That stupid voice was pissing him off. Little did he know, that voice he was hearing belonged to someone he would become close to in the future.

Well, I'm here to give you a choice. Would you like to see the future, and based on what you see, would you like to change it? Yes or No?

"Really?" Obito yelled, excited. "That sounds so cool! Yes, I want to go!"

"Obito, it sounds like a very shady deal," Rin lectured, biting her lip. "I don't think we should trust the voice." Kakashi nodded his agreement with Rin's statement.

"We don't even know where the voice is coming from," Kakashi added.

You need your sensei's permission before you can go, the voice replied to Obito.

Obito turned towards Minato. "Please, Sensei! It sounds fun!"

"I don't know, Obito," Minato said. "I don't think it's possible for us to go to the future. Also, I can't just say 'yes' to something we don't even understand—"

Alright, your sensei has agreed to go. Everyone get ready!

"I-I never gave permission," Minato pointed out, confused.

Yeah, you did. You said 'yes' just now.

Minato thought back on what he had said before and realized his mistake.

"That…That doesn't count!" he exclaimed.

Too late! Oh, and one more thing. The events that you will be shown do not happen chronologically. It'll jump around between the near and far future, but that's out of my control. Have fun!

The members of Team Minato had no time to object. There was a blinding light, and when they could see again, they found themselves in blank white space. It seemed to stretch on forever.

"Obito, you stupid crybaby ninja," Kakashi said darkly. "I can't believe you got us stuck here."

"It's not my fault!" Obito protested, even though he had been the one who wanted to go. "Sensei is the one who said 'yes'!"

Minato opened his mouth to defend himself, but then the blank space morphed into scenery. They were standing in Konoha. They looked around, eyes wide.

"Were we teleported back to the village?" Obito asked, scratching his head in confusion.

"No, I don't think so," Rin replied. "Some of the buildings and shops are different."

Minato nodded. "I think we might actually be in the future."

"If that's true," Kakashi said, "we should find out what year this is."

Minato agreed with what Kakashi had said, and he walked up to a woman strolling by. "Excuse me, but what year is this?" At first, the woman seemed to be ignoring Minato, but then she walked right through him. Rin screamed.

"W-What just happened? Are we ghosts?" Obito questioned, sounding panicked. "Are we dead?"

"I think that our presence and consciousness's were sent into the future, but we aren't actually here," Minato theorized. "All of this will probably be no time at all to where we came from." Minato looked over at Obito to see if he understood, but Obito wasn't looking at him. He was looking off into the distance somewhere, mouth hanging open in shock.

"Obito, are you alright?" Rin asked. Kakashi rolled his eyes at Obito's behavior. When Obito didn't respond, Rin and Minato began to worry, but Obito suddenly pointed across the street and shouted.

"I think that's Bakakashi!"

Everyone turned to where Obito was pointing, and in his shock, Kakashi didn't even retaliate against Obito's insult.

"No way…" he murmured. The man that Obito was pointing to looked like his father, but there were definitely a few differences. That's probably what Kakashi would imagine himself to look like in the future. He even had the same face mask! Team Minato stared at this man, who was now on the move.

"Let's follow him," Minato decided. His students nodded, and they all sprinted after the man who was possibly future Kakashi.
