Chapter 18: Time

Naruto stood in a damp clearing with Hashirama and his wife, Mito. The two were holding hands as Hashirama welcomed Naruto to the Shikotsu Forest. Naruto was pointing at the two while trembling slightly as he recognized them as his great great grandparents, but they were supposed to be dead. Naruto then began to freak out thinking something went wrong and he was dead because there was no way this could be happening.

"Calm down Naruto." came the calm voice of Mito as she talked to her youngest descendant. Naruto stopped his frantic movements as he then looked toward Mito and Hashirama, settling down a bit. "Glad you've calmed down-" started Mito until she was cut off by the sudden appearance of Naruto. Naruto performed a quick shunshin and appeared in front of Mito with a fist cocked back.

"They have to be Edo Tensei Reanimations. Only Orochimaru uses that jutsu and that means that they are under his control. I have to stop them." thought Naruto as he swung his fist at Mito. Naruto was surprised however when he noticed both Hashirama and Mito smiling at him, even as his fist was approaching. Mito brought her hand up as she easily caught Naruto's punch in her palm with no effort. Naruto was prepared for her counter though and already had a kunai up to follow his fist in attacking Mito.

Before Naruto could cut Mito with his kunai, his held fist plummeted to the floor. Naruto's hand became heavy and felt like it was encased in cement as he couldn't pick it up. Naruto was wondering what was going on until he noticed a sealing array appear on the back of his hand.

"Did she do this?" thought Naruto as he struggled to move his arm.

"Naruto-kun. We aren't your enemies. There's no need to attack us." said Mito as she helped Naruto up while releasing the seal on his hand.

Naruto stood up as he wondered how this was possible. "Then what's going on? How could you two be alive?" said Naruto confused. Mito took her hand off of Naruto's as she smiled sweetly at him.

"We are chakra," said Mito as Naruto became even more confused. "A long time ago, Hashi-kun had this idea that maybe one of his children's children would be able to use the kekkai genkai, Mokuton. So he left techniques in the Scroll of Seals for them to use."

Hashirama grinned heavily at Naruto as he slapped him on the shoulder. "And I was right!" shouted Hashirama as he picked up Naruto and swung him around. "Tsunade told me all about you Naruto-kun. It's so great to see someone being able to use it. It's even better since Mito decided that we should leave chakra imprints in case there ever was one so we could meet them in person...and here you are and here are we!"

Naruto smiled a huge smile as he was spun around by his forefather. "But," said Hashirama as he stopped immediately. The sudden stop gave Naruto temporary whiplash as he was set down by Hashirama. "We are only chakra imprints. Meaning our time here is limited."

Naruto contemplated Hashirama's words and came to a quick conclusion. "You're saying that once the chakra you put into here runs out, you'll disappear forever? Can't I just stop the chakra drain and save it?" questioned Naruto as Mito shook her head.

"You're very astute Naruto-kun. You're right, we will disappear once the chakra runs out but I'm sorry, it doesn't work that way. Katsuyu activated the seals I placed here upon your arrival. And the chakra will continue to drain until it's all gone." replied Mito as Naruto began to tear up slightly. Mito was pulled into a hug by Naruto as she was forced to bear the golden-haired Senju. Hashirama joined Naruto in crying hysterically as Mito was sandwiched between the two.
