A Trip in Time

Chapter 1

Well, this was not exactly what he expected to happen.

One moment he had been fighting an unknown enemy, and the next he was laying, his back against the ground... miles aware from where he had been fighting.

At first, he had assumed it had been some sort of transportation jutsu he had been hit with.

But things really did not feel right.

No... this was not a simple transportation jutsu.

Pushing himself up, Kakashi could not help but to look around, things seemed... clean.

These lands, from his knowledge, always had the signs of fights or scuffles. There were always scars on the land.

Well, not this time. It looked new... untouched.

It was strange.

Shaking his head, he pushed himself up and moved to pull his forehead protector down but found that it was not there.

Well, wasn't the great?

He sighed as he resorted to closing his eye, to hide the sharingan since he was unable to cover it like he normally would.

Now, just to figure out exactly where he was, that was the question. Because every felt so familiar, yet it looked different.

That was where most of his problem was, as he walked down the not well beaten path, his mind's eye was telling him this was the way home. Even if the path looks younger, less used. It was just starting to dawn on him, that whatever he was hit with. it could have been a time traveling seal. But only the Uzumaki were known for those, honestly a lot of people would say it was simply rumor, since the First Hokage's wife had never given any detail to them being real, and now it did not matter. Her homeland was supposed to be long destroyed by now.... Err, well... His time. Because as the gate's came into view...they looked perfect, no older than months old.

Oh no...

This was certainly going to be a problem; he could see it already.

If he was lucky, maybe Mito was here. It was never really said when she had Married Hashirama. Just that she had been there from the village's conception. At least according to the Third Hokage.

Well, here went nothing.

He walked up to the men who were at the gate, their eyes eyeing him wearily.

"I would like to have an audience with any of you highest ranking shinobi."

It was a risk. He knew it was, but he unsnapped his weapons pouch and dropped it. He always had a kunai hidden within his clothing but showing that he meant no harm and simply wanted to speak.

It seemed to work, as the guards looked at each other before looking back at him. "Fine, you shall be taken to meet with Tobirama-sama."

Tobirama... maaa. So he was that far back? Somewhere between the start and Tobirama's time as Hokage, it seemed.

He thanked them as one of the men moved, another coming to take his place, they were certainly strong on keeping guard, and with the village being this young, it was an incredibly good thing. He fallowed the other shinobi in and down to the admiration building. The village was. so much smaller. He could hardly believe it. But if anyone were to at least listen to him, it would be Tobirama, with a bit of prompting.

They stopped outside the door, it wasn't the Hokage office, and he had noticed there were no faces on the mountain yet. So it seemed as if This was just recently after the conception of the village... that meant Madara was still there too. The man knocked on the door, and deep, gruff voice told them to enter.

"Tobirama-sama, this man here wishes to speak-"

Seeing Tobirama in the flesh was a surreal feeling, He was nothing like the pictures, younger, it seemed. But he also looked tired, everyone worth their salt knew that Tobirama carried the village while Madara and Hashirama were still dominate figures. Everything had his touch, everything down to even the pluming.

He bowed his head in a form of respect to the older male- though he was sure he was older than Tobirama right now, being thirty-

Tobirama eyed the male for a moment. "You are of the Hatake clan." He said, even with Kakashi's mask, he could tell.

"Maa, you are correct." Kakashi smiled, "Hatake Kakashi." He said to him. Kakashi knew at this point, his clan does not agree to join for another six or so months, according to documents his father had in his office.

"Though, I have... A bit of an issue." He said to Tobirama as the guard who had brought him left.

That had caught Tobirama's attention. "Oh? And what issue might you have?"

Kakashi was weighing his options. Lying would really make things worse, and he really did not want to be on the receiving end of any of the founder's anger when they learn he lied to them. So, sighing, he jumped into his tale, explain everything, all the way down to the seal that had been thrown at him from the unknown enemy. He could see Tobirama's eyebrows comically raise more and more with each word he said, and when he finished, he was not shocked to see the man pinch the bridge of his nose.

"That... is a lot to take in. But this seal, my sister-in-law would know more about this, since she is indeed and Uzumaki..." he sighed. He could not just take a Stanger to see Mito... But also, he did not radiate any type of intent, other than exasperation at his own situation. "Since you are a Hatake, and we are currently trying to make a treaty for them to join us, I will, with great difficulty, give you a small pass, since your clan had stayed entire neutral in the clan wars... and you don't seem to be wanting any issues." He murmured. "I will bring this case up with my sister-in-law and see what she says. Until then, I would really try and stay low..." he muttered and sighed. This was beginning to give him a headache. He did eye the others eye, if he is from the future, he can assume this man was not a dojustu thief, but it was peculiar that he had that. eye. Best not say anything to Madara now.

He moved to stand. "You seem to know your way around, so I assume you know where you can hide- "

Kakashi hummed. "I'm decent at keeping my cover under wraps." He said simply. He raised his hand in a farewell, though they would be seeing each other again. Gods, he was glad the guards brought him to him, and not his brother, Hashirama would be so confused.

"One day, come back and meet me here." He told Kakashi, he heard the affirmative hum, and the other male was gone.

What was he going to do with all of this?...

This was not at all what Tobirama signed up for when he agreed to help his brother with this village of his.
