The Future: Naruto Fanfiction

Chapter 19

The Hidden Leaf Hill

Today is the day. The sun has risen on over the peak of the hill. It is today that destiny will show itself. Fate only has two options today, to be very kind to the hidden leaf village or to be very cruel. Those are the stakes, by the end of the day, the village will either be protected or it will be doomed.

The hidden leaf hill is occupied by every shinobi that has come from the village, awake and alert, ready to watch how this day unfolds. For Sarada, bringing back the Hokage of the past has already proven to be a masterstroke but whether or not it was effective will be proven right now. People try to hid their gazes but you would have to be a fool not to notice them, the sideway glances at Naruto. The last fighter.

Naruto oversees the situation as a group of Captains request to setup special equipment on the hidden leaf's hill. At first the others resist but when the Captains tell Naruto it is specifically for the final match, the 7th and 9th Hokages agree to have it set up.

Machinery.

Strange looking machinery is set up, much to the confusion of the historical Hokages.

"Television" Boruto mutters.

Naruto looks towards his son, who of course has more technical knowledge than himself, coming from the future. "Boruto, what's television".

"Oh" Boruto is stunned by the question, until a second ago he hadn't even considered that Naruto had not been exposed to this when he was young. It was a completely different time, technology improved so fast after the war when the villages began to work together.

"It's moving pictures on a screen" Boruto explains, "It was invented shortly before you became the Hokage".

The 7th Hokage looks on at the contraption in awe. "Amazing".

"Never seen one before?" a voice asks from slightly down the hill.

The footsteps of this man are light in weight, barely making a sound. Yet, to the shinobi of the hidden leaf who are experts in stealth, these footsteps sound heavy, very heavy indeed. It is not just because of their owner's clumsiness, no, it is because of the aura, the importance their owner carries with them.

It is the enemy's General, Clyde.

"Clyde" Naruto shrugs his shoulders as he questions the arrival to his hill, "What is happening? Why is all this equipment being brought to this hill?".

"Surely you must know" the General reacts with faux-surprise, "It's time for the final match. It's time for our match".

"Why would you need TVs for that" Sarada asks, noting that there are TV's being setup on the invader's hill as well.

"The last match will be special". A huge smile comes to the face of Clyde as he answers this question. He has competed in many captained six challenges but none so important as this. The last round rarely comes about but whenever it does, it's fun, great fun.

"The last match will involve all seven competitors from both sides".

"What" Mirai walks towards Clyde as she hears this. She hasn't been expecting to fight again.

Tobirama snaps, his anger overflowing. "You bastard, you never told us about such a rule".

Clyde shrugs. "Whether I did or not, those are the rules of the captained six challenge".
