Back in Time (Naruto Fanfic)

Awkward conversations

Future Naruto stood firm, supporting his beat-up sensei, stopping a grin from taking over his face. "Pervy Sage! Are you okay? Does Sakura need to--"

"Who the helm are you?" Jiraiya coughed, wiping blood from his face. He looked up at Naruto and frowned. "You look like someone I know..."

"Hey, Pervy Sage! It's Naruto!" Naruto grinned, giving his hesitant teacher a thumbs up. "Believe it!"

"N-Naruto? No way! You're in Konoha! And you're-- wearing a Hokage--"

"Jiraiya-sama," Sasuke knelt beside the old man. "I am Sasuke Uchiha. Do you remember me? Power hungry, revenge-driven brat that's giving Naruto so much trouble?"

Jiraiya snorted. "You said it, not me."

Sasuke groaned. "I'm not like that anymore, I swear. I was stupid. I know."

"You see Master Jiraiya, we come from the future." Sakura went over to the older man. "You remember Sakura Haruno, right? That's me."

An appreciative look entered his expression. "My, you've certainly grown up."

Sasuke was losing patience for this bastard. Flirting with his wife was the last straw. "We don't have time for this." He said, but before he could stop her, Sakura's eyes went blank and she pounded the pervert into the ground.

Naruto sweatdropped. "Sorry about that, Sakura, I'd forgotten just how pervy he was...."

Sakura scoffed. "I had too."

Sasuke assessed the Sannin, watching as Sakura checked him for injuries. Hinata had her Byakugan on and was scanning the woods. Naruto had Rasengan'ed Pein pretty far away, but Hinata was convinced he was still alive.

Frankly, Naruto was relieved. Maybe he could get to Nagato earlier this time...

"Okay, we saved your crazy shishou. Can we go now?" Sasuke groaned, already losing the little pinch of patience he had. His daughter and student were in grave danger. If his past self found them, there would be issues. Especially in the Sarada category. And knowing Boruto, he would somehow annoy the younger version of himself and end up with a sword through his chest.

"Where are you going, older Sasuke? I'm gonna take you back to Konoha and have Tsunade check to see if you're telling the truth." Jiraiya grunted.

"Like hell you are." Sasuke scoffed. "Why are you not believing me?"

"Because you're so... not-as-åsshöleish, which is completely unlike you." Jiraiya studied him. "But you look like Mr. Angsty Emo Uchiha."

"Hey Naruto, let's go before I Chidori your master, hm?" Sasuke scowled, moving forward.

"Right," Naruto nodded. "Well, see you later, Pervy Sage. Make sure to stop by Granny Tsunade's and get your wounds checked."

"Wait a sec, squirt-from-the-future, where are you going?" Jiraiya frowned.

"Jiraiya-sama, we must go, but if you want to come, stop by the Akatsuki hideout in two days." Hinata said, with a sense of finality in her voice.

"Erm, okay..."

"Okay, let's go. We don't have a lot of time." Sakura nodded, healing the last of Jiraiya's nonfatal wounds. "See you in two days, Jiraiya-sama."

"Uh, bye?"

Then the four people were gone in a flash.

Jiraiya sat back, touching his back where a sword wound had been. "What the hėll just happened?"
