The Light Of Hope (A Naruto Timetravel Fanfic)

Chapter 10

Watching the scene before him unfold, Shikaku felt extremely uneasy and worried.

Not really knowing what to do. As the blond child helped his friend calm down.

His son is actually having a panic attack right in front of him.

Catching him off guard.

Wondering what exactly happened to these boys. What or who could have caused this?

After finally settling down, Naruto sighed and confidently walked around Shikamaru, who stood covering his eyes and tried to breathe, trying to fight off his panic attack;  leaving his hand on his shoulder and faced Shikaku with a neutral expression.

Further deepening his worry for his son.

"Apologies for the confusion, Nara-sama." Naruto begun.

"What is going on, Naruto? What happened to my son!?!"

"I can explain. But first, please put a silencing seal around your office, Nara-sama. Because what I'm about to tell you is very confidential."

Stunned at the implication of his words, Shikaku gritted his teeth and immediately activated the seals around his office.

"There. Now tell me what's going on." He sternly demanded, now standing with his feet upright and arms crossed on his chest as he narrowed his eyes at the boy.

Slightly licking his lower lip, Naruto took a deep breath and said

"How much do you know about time travel?"

"What? What do you mean? What does time travel have anything to---" Shikaku trailed off as he widened his eyes in realization and quickly schooled his expression as his shook his head.

"No... no... that can't be... its impossible."

"We thought so too. But we're here now."

"But that's..." he pursed his lips in thought.

"We're from the future, Nara-sama. And we need your help." Causing the man to look at him incredulously.

Silence.

"Prove it." He stood with his arms on his side as he still felt in denial of the revelation they brought to him.

Despite the fact that his son just experienced a panic attack in his presence a while ago.

"The Uchiha clan. Their planning a coup d'ètat and the Hokage planned to use two Uchiha spies to find ways to settle it, without having to go through bloodshed as much as possible." Naruto bluntly stated knowing that he can handle it, causing Shikaku to be speechless, beyond belief.

"Another is how Orochimaru is exiled due to his inhumane experiments but what everyone doesn't know is that he was also involved with a certain warhawk, Danzo Shimura."

"What?!"

"Danzo also runs an illegal organisation called ROOT, which was originally disbanded by the Fourth Hokage, but kept operating in secret behind the Sandaime later on. He had made Orochimaru operate on his arm to be able to use and store his stolen Sharingan eyes and his arm is actually made of Hashirama cells, which is---"

"Hold up, hold up!" Shikaku cut him off as he felt his head ache due to the shocking details he just heard.

"This is ridiculous. I need a minute to process this." He pinched the bridge of his nose as he exasperatedly sighed.

"Don't break my father, Naruto." Shikamaru harshly whispered in the blond's ear, making said blond playfully smirk as he removed his hand on his friend's shoulder.
