"Us ANBU will handle this. Whoever was there at the scene, please stay in the office." a voice said, muffled with the mask the man was covering his face with. Teruya turned to Minato.

"I'll go grab Rin and come back."

Minato nodded.

A few minutes passed by before a bob of brown could be seen entering the room. The blond sighed in relief looking at her injury-less body.

"What happened Rin?" the jounin asked first as she sat on one of the seats. Rin sat inbetween both the males.

"I was training." she began as the memories started replaying in her head. (Ugggh so cliché !!! But that's the point of this book :D)

"You sure Rin? I'm glad to help you but I feel like this is too dangerous." an unconvinced voice said with a hint of worry. Rin just replied with a smile.

"This is to protect myself and protect Konoha."

Obito with great hesitance had agreed to help Rin with her training. She was probably the weakest link in her team. Even Obito was better than her although she was a medic ninja. She would be excellent in the field of Genjutsu and the usage of poisin.

"Well then, come at me!"

Obito immediately dashed towards her with a kick. She side-stepped returned with a punch but the Uchiha merely blocked her before sending a kick with his left leg, sending her flying a few feet away from him.

Obito gasped. "H-Hey Rin, you're alright...right?" 

He liked Rin. Hurting her would be like killing himself. Using his vulnerability as an advantage, she let him come close to her when she sprang up and gifted him with a standing kick to his face.

"Oof!" His lips stung. He wiped his mouth to see blood smeared on his hand.

"Like I said, come at me with all you've got,Obito-kun."

The boy smirked. She was serious about this.

This continued for hours (2 and a half to be more precise). They took breaks here and there, practicing ninjustu and training in the art of Genjutsu. She didn't know how to cast one until Teruya-san had taught her, errr well rather, he "told" her about it.

Teruya-san said that he had large chakra reserves so casting one would be nearly impossible. Minato-sensei also didn't know much about it so she had to turn to Kurenai, the Genjutsu specialist of their batch. 

She was kind enough to teach her the basics and how to make them even more severe. 

But training her genjutsu with Obito was...difficult. Being an Uchiha meant that genjutsu would be your forte with the Sharingan and all but with Obito, it just wasn't happening. He was called the black sheep of the Uchiha family although sometimes it's strange calling him a black sheep. Don't all Uchihas have black hair?

Nevermind.

So after all of that had happened, it was starting to get dark. The sun was slowly setting and so they parted ways. Rin decided that she would collect some medicinal herbs on the way home through the forest but then she caught a whiff of an unfamiliar chakra.

Having been alerted, she quietly went away, casting a genjutsu over herself to not raise suspicion but those ninja were smart enough to recognize the illusion they were under.

So long story short, she was captured but not without a fight. She had seen only one nin not realizing that she was surrounded by ANBU level nin around her. What were they doing there anyway?

He mention something about sealing some "demon" inside of her but she managed to let free and it was during that time that Teruya-san had appeared.

Having said all this Teruya grimaced. Sealing a demon meant that they were going to seal a Bijuu in her. Why was this happening so soon? Or had this happened before? Lost in his thought, Minato decided to handle the situation.

He patted her on the head. Minato wasn't the type to be "affectionate" with a student and on top of that, a girl. But seeing as to how brave she had been with them , he just decided to cross the boundary once.

Rin was a little surprised at her teacher's new "pat-on-the-head" thing but it was nice. 

"Good job on handling them well." a new voice said.

All three flipped their heads to the door.

"Hokage-sama."

"Settle down. I heard everything you said." Hiruzen said, then looked to Rin. "You did well, Rin was it?"

"Ah yes Hokage-sama." Rin said nervously. She's never seen the 3rd so close in real life. It was a great honour to be able to speak to him.

"I'd like to mention something, Sandaime." Teruya remarked, glancing towards to younger girl and the few people outside. The old man realized what the blond was trying to say and so he nodded.

"Could you leave the room Rin? And also ask the people outside to leave the perimeters."

"Yes Hokage-sama." She darted out of the room as she felt nervousness growing in her stomach. She informed the guards outside and they followed what they had said. Teruya finally opened his mouth to speak.

"The future is changing already."

There was a short pause before a question was asked.

"In what way?" Teruya looked over to Hiruzen's worried face.

"Rin was never caught this early to be the Jinchuriki of the 3-Tails." Both the men's faces grew serious. "So she was caught to become the Jinchuriki of the 3-Tails?" Minato asked after thinking for a while. 

Teruya nodded.

"I've learned about this through someone else's memories who I am not going to mention but seems like she had died with the Sanbi in her. Those Kiri nin hadn't sealed it in her properly so by the time she reaches the borders of Konoha, it would escape from her body and destroy Konoha."

Minato clenched his fist.

"And what the hell was I doing?" he asked not looking to the time-traveller. Teruya could only give him a sad smile. "You were doing things the Yellow Flash of Konoha should've been doing Minato. It's not your fault. That day everything was a mess."

The blond man did not say anything.

"So, we had a mission didn't we? What is it?" Teruya decided to ask changing the topic. 

The 3rd replied easily not thinking about how much it would impact the time traveler. Not that he knew of it...

"You have to destroy the Kannabi bridge which is suspected to be the supply of the Kirigakure shinobi."

His eyes widened at the words spoken. It shot him a like a sword to the heart (sorry, I don't think I can say bullet here lol). He choked, clearly surprised at the timing of the situation.

"What's wrong Teruya-san?" Minato asked almost immediately after seeing the teen's reaction.

"He's close."

Visible confusion was etched on their faces.

"What do you mean Teruya-san?" this time Hiruzen asked.

"Uchiha Madara is coming."
