NaruHina travels back in time

In the past: Neji's death

Jiraiya-sensei wasn't even able to react to Naruto's scream and touch when Naruto faded away. The sensei thought it was all part of his imagination and kept walking towards the Hokage's office as if nothing had happened.

Hinata was trying to process what had happened. Why Naruto had disappeared? What had happened to him? But she didn't have that much time to do so. In that instant, she saw someone quite familiar to her: Neji. Her cousin was walking down the street, sad and mad at the world after his father's death. Her heart sank, she wanted to run towards him and hug him, and tell him that she would always love him no matter how much he'd stray his path before finding himself. But Hinata wasn't as impulsive as Naruto and was able to contain herself; however, her voice wasn't shut as fast as his movements. She did scream: "Neji-nissan". Neji, hearing some random lady calling her "brother", felt unease and decided to walk towards her.

–Excuse me, lady, did you call me "brother"? –Neji said whilst touching Hinata, something quite unusual for him, but that he felt the need to do it.

In the moment Hinata was touched by Neji, she was teleported to another scenario. She was now able to somehow understand what had happened to Naruto.

But this scenario wasn't a good one. She was in the middle of the Fourth Shinobi War.

They were all fighting against Tobi, Madara and the Ten Tails. She felt the need to intervene in the fight, but she knew that even a single move could change the events of the future. Besides, she was sure that they would win that fight. She started getting closer to where her comrades were, when she saw something unusual: Jiraiya-sensei fighting. Jiraiya-sensei!

"That's not possible. He's supposed to be dead!", Hinata thought. And suddenly the truth struck her: they were teleported to the moment the person they touched had died. Maybe Naruto was teleported to the Rain Village and, as impulsive as he was, he couldn't contain himself from saving his sensei.... And, by that logic, she had been teleported to the moment Neji would die. She suddenly felt the urge to hurry towards him... But still hesitated, she needed to check something up before acting.

She started looking around, trying to see if saving Jiraiya-sensei had change the events up to that point. But as much as she looked, she couldn't find something different from what she remembered from the war. Apparently, nothing significantly had changed.

She made her decision. If saving Jiraiya-sensei had not altered the events after his dead, then saving Neji should not result in something catastrophic, like them losing the war or losing more comrades than the ones they had already lost.

But just as she was about to start running, she hesitated. What she'd said to Naruto the night before their travel were her true feelings: she was convinced that he had not always belonged to her. In a way, she had always believed that his brother's death was part of the reasons why they grew close to each other; saving him meant relinquishing the opportunity to be with the man she loved in the future. But, either way, she was determined to save Neji, so she put her hopes in the fact that, as Naruto had said, he would find his way to her. With her decision clear, she ran up to the battle field.

And she ran just at the precise moment. Neji and Naruto were out of chakra. Tobi had already begun with the targeted attacks and it was a matter of seconds before he shut the one that would kill her brother. When she saw it coming, she stood up there, detoured the attack and destroyed the big thorn. After doing precisely what she needed, she left. Nor Neji, nor War Hinata and nor War Naruto understood what had happened, as they reacted late to the person saving them and didn't get the chance to see her face, so they just assume it was one of the shinobis around them and continued fighting.
