Naruto : Shadow King

"Mom"

Both Shika and Hinata heard this and thought neither had anything to do with this word, they looked back as the sound came exactly from behind them.

Both of them were equally surprise looking at the person who call this. They saw a blond hair boy staring at them with surprise.

For second they didn't say anything and the boy was also the same but then suddenly the boy who was looking at Hinata before turn to Shika and his eyes widen even futher, he unconsciously mutter.

"Shikadai ?"

Sasuke and Boruto walked through the gates of Konoha, cloaked and discreet, making sure not to draw attention. They had traveled back in time using the time turtle to hunt down Urashiki, but the village looked peaceful—nothing like the chaos they feared.

As they wandered through the familiar streets, Boruto couldn't help but feel nostalgic. The village was the same, but also… different. Fewer high-tech structures, a more old-fashioned atmosphere, and people he recognized but hadn't seen in this way before.

As they turned a corner, Boruto spotted two figures walking nearby—a young girl and a boy. The girl, gentle and quiet, looked oddly familiar, beside the clothing, for some reason the clothing look out of the place.

It took a second before Boruto realized who she was. "Mom?" he thought but basically called her, startled, though he kept his face straight, not wanting to reveal his identity. It was Hinata, much younger, and her expression was soft, unaware of who they really were.

Boruto stayed silent, knowing he couldn't say anything. His heart pounded as he wanted to talk to her, but he couldn't risk changing the past. Just as he was about to turn away, his eyes landed on the boy walking beside her.

Boruto's eyes widened. "Shikadai?!", now Boruto was truely confused at what was happening.

He wasn't the only one, Sasuke saw Boruto messing up and was ready to intervene also notice Shikadai or at least the boy who looked like Shikadai and narrowed his eyes.

'There was no one like him in the past…' Sasuke knew almost everyone from the past who were their age. There was no way that he would mistake it.

"Hello, I am Shika Nara and this is Hinata Hyuga. Are you both travellers. I never have seen you before in the village." Shika was quite to initiate a conversation.

'Fuck, how did I forget that this happened in Boruto. Maybe becuase I pretty much gave up on Boruto by then but still.

This is the time by which Sasuke thought have defected from the village in the original story and Naruto was just about to leave the village with Jiraiya on the training trip. Tsunade should already be a Hokage according to the cannon.

But, nothing is like that, there is not even a talk from Jiraiya to take Naruto on training by now. He is too entangle right now at the Hokage selection. Both him and Tsunade refuses but also don't wants Danzo to be Hokage, for good reason at that all as.

But more than that, Sasuke is in the village. This is troublesome…

One minute, they are here then that's means that Urashiki thought also be in this time right ?

Fuck…' Shika can't help but internally lamented for forgetting something like this. Now his mind was working hard to figure out how to act. Should he be a bystander? But that option is already somewhat out for the question seeing how Sasuke have seen him, Boruto might not no but Sasuke will suspect him and look into his details for sure, probably for how Boruto mistook him for Shikadai and how he was with Hinata.

"I am Soru and this is Haruta. We are travellers and just arrive in Konoha." Sasuke said calmly, quickly regaining his composure.

"Ah, that nice. I also feel nice when other people can experience how it is to live here in Konoha." Shika for the being planned to act neutral. Not sure what to do, that was for the best.

"Yes yes… that is right. That why we like to travel that much." Boruto wh was now Haruta said with confirmation with urgency on his face. Though still he couldn't remove his eyes from both Hinata and Shikadai.

"Yes that really nice, I would like to recommend you the Konoha public bath if you are tired and Ichiraku Ramen if you are hungry, they make some of the best Ramen there." Hinata said with a big smile on her face, not suspecting a thing and happily pointing toward where both places were.

"Yes, I can double down on that claim, we just came from Ichiraku and have our fill. That place is something else. Highly recommended." Shika added while trying to end the conversation as soon as possible. Not wanting to interact with both of them for too long if possible.

" Sure, we will check that place out for sure…" Sasuke.

Sasuke was wearing an eye patch by now, Shika didn't remember what happen to his eyes but he knew that that was the eye were he had Rinnegan.

'Seems like the future is more troublesome than I anticipated, its not just Madara that I have to take care of after all.' Not seeing thought Boruto was a mistake.

"Hinata, were else you plan to go. Do you thing we thought give Kurenai sensei and team 8 a visit." not wanting to stay there any longer, Shika asked Hinata.

"Hmm… today is a off day for team 8 so I am not sure where they are. Maybe some other time…" Hinata hmm to herself and ponder what she wanted to do next.

"Thank for helping us, we will leave you alone then." Sasuke was quick make a bee line out of there, coming into contact of anyone from this time was bad.

Though he now was curious about this boy who looked like Shikamarus son and what his relationship with Hinata.

"Shika…" But that was when a voice attracted both of them. Practically made both Sasuke and Shika froze on their track.

'Fuck my luck…'
