Naruto : Shadow King

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 don't see 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 with even slightly resemble like a drag." Shika said with a bored tone making teen Sasuke fume while Hinata on the side frowned hearing how 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 to 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 him 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 was 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 with someone else entirely. This was a blond-haired boy who was running away with a white hair old man.

Before poor Boruto even realized what was happening, he join the two in running away, more like had to, becuase chasing them were 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 have to be on guard against Adult Sasuke, there is a possibility that he will look inside his background and try to find why things are so different then his past?

In which, he was correct becuase Sasuke right now was doing the same thing right now, gathering information about what recently happened in the village.

"Hmm Shika Kun…" Hinata's face was like 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 thought, 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.

Xxx
