Chapter 112: Chapter 112 : Time Travellers
"Mom"
Both Shika and Hinata heard this and thought neither had nothing to do with this word, they looked back as the sound came exactly from behind them.
Both of them were equally surprised looking at the person who called this. They saw a blond-haired boy staring at them with surprise.
For a second they didn't say anything and the boy was also the same but then suddenly the boy who was looking at Hinata before turned to Shika and his eyes widened even further, and he unconsciously muttered.
"Shikadai ?"
---
Sasuke and Boruto walked through the gates of Konoha, cloaked and discreet, making sure not to draw attention. They had travelled 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 looked out of 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 truly confused at what was happening.
He wasn't the only one, Sasuke saw Boruto messing up and was ready to intervene also noticed 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 was 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 quiet 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 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 about taking Naruto on training now. He is too entangled right now at the Hokage selection. Both he and Tsunade refuse but also don't want 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 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 of the question seeing how Sasuke have seen him, Boruto might not know 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 arrived in Konoha." Sasuke said calmly, quickly regaining his composure.
"Ah, that's 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's why we like to travel that much." Boruto who was now Haruta said with confirmation with urgency on his face. Though still,l he couldn't remove his eyes from both Hinata and Shikadai.
"Yes that's really nice, I would like to recommend 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 want 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 happened to his eyes but he knew that that was the eye where he had Rinnegan.
'Seems like the future is more troublesome than I anticipated, it's not just Madara that I have to take care of after all.' Not seeing thought Boruto was a mistake.
"Hinata, where else do you plan to go? Do you think we thought to give Kurenai sensei and team 8 a visit." not wanting to stay there any longer, Shika asked Hinata.
"Hmm… today is an off day for team 8 so I am not sure where they are. Maybe some other time…" Hinata hmm to herself and pondered what she wanted to do next.
"Thank you for helping us, we will leave you alone then." Sasuke was quick to make a beeline out of there, coming into contact with anyone from this time was bad.
Though he now was curious about this boy who looked like Shikamaru's son and his relationship with Hinata.
"Shika…" But that was when a voice attracted both of them. Practically both Sasuke and Shika froze on their track.
'Fuck my luck…'

Chapter 113: Chapter 113 : Alternate Reality ?
It could be anyone else but why him, Shika closed his eyes for just a second to lament his luck and then again went back to his nonchalant attitude.
"How many times do you wanna get beaten before you stop challenging me Sasuke ?" Shika said in a monotone voice, he was facing the teen Sasuke but his eyes were on the adult Sasuke and Boruto.
"Don't get full of yourself, you won by just a hair length last time. Fight me again." Kid Sasuke said, almost shouting in anger. He has been trying to beat Shika ever since Shika told him that he would get all the answers he wanted if he showed that he was ready.
Naturally, in pure ninja fashion, that means that he has to beat Shika which honestly Shika hadn't seen happening for some time, now that he has made much progress in Zabuza's skills, though maybe not power vice but surely in skills he was closer to a Jonin.
He was grinding hard when he was in Tsunade's retrieval mission.
"Just mere excuses, talk when you really beat me. And no, that hag finally gave me a free day, there is no way I am wasting it on fighting with you, I am taking today slow and not doing anything which might even slightly resemble like a drag." Shika said with a bored tone making teen Sasuke fume. Hinata on the side frowned hearing what Shika was calling Tsunade thought she also found it a little funny, trying to hide her chuckle at Shika's usual antics.
But the real show was on both adult Sasuke and Boruto's side. While Boruto was glaring at the teen Sasuke and then looking back at adult Sasuke to compare, Adult Sasuke had his one visible eye widened in disbelief. He wasn't supposed to be in Village, he should have gone with Orochimaru by now.
He quickly wanted to open his Sharingan to see whether this was an illusion of some sort but refrained himself but after getting rejected by Shika, Teen Sasuke's attention was drawn to the two strangers, the bond reminded him of Naruto, while the older man.
Teen Sasuke narrowed his eyes, becuase this man looked a lot like Itachi. Though Itachi wasn't even in his 20s while this man was in his 30s.
Adult Sasuke's mind was racing, wondering what went wrong, he knew that there was no person named Shika in the past nor his younger self should be in the village. With how Hinata behaved which was a sharp contrast to the past, he was sure that either they had come to an alternate reality and not just time travel or this world was different because of Shika. At least this was the only character who he can't seem to remember from the past. So it's worth looking into him.
If this was an alternate reality then he doesn't care but if this was their past then it's very concerning, becuase what happened here will define their future, 'Aka' their present.
"Hm… you are just afraid that I will beat you…" Sasuke made one last try to make Shika fight him, Shika on the other hand just rolled his eyes.
Even someone like Hokage will have a hard time assigning him a mission today, let alone him.
"Come on Hinata, I wanted to check your training on water jutsu for a long time." Shika huffed and grabbed Hinata's hand. Making Hinata freeze for a second and then her face immediately turned red.
Teen Sasuke's eyes twitch at this, seeing how Shika is pretty much ignoring him.
However, It was Boruto's side who was the most distressed…
'What's going on, why this guy who looked like Shikadai is so close to Mom? Where is Dad, do he even know what's going on ?' Alarms started to sound inside his head.
Shika then just walked off with Hinata, not wanting to stay there anymore. He makes it seem like he was running away from Teen Sasuke but actually, he was running away from those time travellers.
Now both Sasuke and Boruto were there alone. Not getting the fight he wanted, Sasuke just huffed with irritation and went away without saying anything.
"Is that really you ?" Boruto asked to Sasuke.
"Yes, it seems so." Sasuke didn't deny it but didn't accept it right away either. He was still lacking info.
"Boruto, I want to look around for a bit, try not to draw too much attention to yourself." Sasuke didn't wait and instantly after saying this vanished for his place, leaving Boruto there alone.
Boruto who was about to ask for permission to either follow his mother or find his father after seeing how Hinata and Shika were together like that, didn't hesitate after Sasuke went away. With his top speed, he followed where both Hinata and Shika went.
But as he went ahead to catch up with both Hinata and Shika, he ended up bumping into someone else entirely. This was a blond-haired boy who was running away with a white hair old white-haired man.
Before poor Boruto even realized what was happening, he joined the two in running away, more like had to, becuase chasing them was a hoard of women with weapons in their hands.
---
Shika after knowing that two time travellers were in the village didn't actually plan to waste his time with lazing around. He after getting out of there, now had his mind on what he should do.
There is that Urashiki and then there is both Boruto and Sasuke. In the anime, Urashiki died becuase what Shika could say was lazy idiotic writing. How the hell were two 12 or 13-year-olds even able to kill Urashiki in the first place? That was some plot armour bullshit at this peak. He doesn't count on something like that happening here.
So, if Urashiki is really here then he has to be ready. Secondly, he also has to be on guard against Adult Sasuke, there is a possibility that he will look inside his background and try to find out why things are so different then his past.
In which, he was correct as Sasuke right now was doing the same thing, gathering information about what recently happened in the village.
"Hmm Shika Kun…" Hinata's face was like that of a Tomato by now. She slowly said making Shika come out of his daze.
"Hmm yes…?"
"Hmm, you… our hands." Hinata pointed with a huge blush on her face. Making Shika too immediately release her hand with surprise.
"Ah sorry sorry… I almost forgot in my train of thoughts, you see I had to get out of there otherwise Sasuke would have dragged me to fight with him. Sorry again." Shika instantly said. He too was a little flustered.
Hand-holding was nothing for him, something like this only excited those little kids but he did it unconsciously so even he was caught off guard.
