WHAT IF NARUTO TOOK SAKURA ON FLOOR WHOLE NIGHT?

hey family welcome back to my video today we will see what if Naruto took Sakura on FL whole night before we start I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the original author of the story for granting us permission to use it in our YouTube video your generosity is greatly appreciated the author's creation and the Original Stories Link in the descriptions please do check that first. enjoy the video there was always regret Shinobi tend to live in it whether it be their fault or not fighting Wars and losing friends it simply nature for them yet they all fight to see another day to fight another day to Die Another Day their Fates are not sealed but their goal is all strive for strength for knowledge some for Endless power they all strive but just as the Setting Sun Goes below the Earth for others to bask in and the moon will rise shobi to want the rest that the nighttime brings yet not find it through struggle people grow stronger smarter but through relief people grieve rest and both are very valuable in life after all what's the point in struggling if none let it must people try harder and harder to get to the end of it all only to fight another battle to be able to relax to be able to say okay without second thought sometimes that's stronger than anything else learned if only Shinobi could say that peace never truly came but all dreamed of it it wasn't until the day hope was vanished did one truly see the light as if they hit rock bottom and realized the only place to go was up and that's where this Story begins ladar was dead the war was over finally but nothing brought peace images of Fallen comrades dead loved ones lost teachers Heroes now only in history none could sleep with this on their mind and yet the war was over nuto would toss and turn in the night dreaming of fighting with his friends wishing time would go back so he could try again he fought for Relief and now that he's got it he can't seem to stop chazzing after every trouble he sees many died his team somehow survived besides Sask Sask he didn't think of him much anymore he had buried him in his mind deeper than he buried him in the ground he died a hero but was known a traitor an Obel bastard he died protecting what he thought was worth fighting for as did nuto Sakura Kakashi everyone Kashi was taking over the leaf sorting things out he wasn't Hokage in fact the name Hokage hasn't been spoken in 5 years since the war ended zakura ran the hospital with shizun and Tsunade gone and passed there weren't many bright things to look at anymore and so Naruto found himself in the hospital helping Sakura out many times for her sake and his own even Kakashi would stop by and volunteer nuto wasn't depressed not at all but he missed his friends and youth he longed to start again the knock was heard at his door and he stood up to answer it I coming he said walking to the door when he opened it his thoughtful face became bright sakuran what's up she furred her brows at him I'm not a child anymore you shouldn't keep calling me that she chastised as she walked in hasn't enough changed already I'd like to keep on to at least one thing special to me he said on ly closing the door as she came in she blinked slowly understanding what he meant you know if you stop calling me that it doesn't mean I won't be the same she stated he nodded I know I know there was silence between them for a minute so what are you here for he asked sitting at the bar yes he had gotten himself a new house when the war was ended a lot of houses came up on the market the reason was pretty obvious this was the one thing nuto wanted to change he never was fond of his old cave he called his home anyway oh yeah sacus said as if she'd forgotten why she had come here Kakashi Sensei wanted to meet us at training ground 7 she said nutk birth seemed to be lifted by that statement oh wi that he asked putting his elbow on the counter and looking at her sideways she Shrugged don't as me he just told me to tell you Kakashi sensei's never been one to actually explain things through that well then I guess I should get into some training gear I'll meet you there he said standing up picking me out a she crossed her arms playfully you want to watch me change and then there was a loud slam of the door nuto Shrugged oh well her loss he snickered to himself he grabbed his T-shirt threw on his J and jacket put some training pants on grabbed his gear and strapped it on he checked himself in the mirror swiping his hair to and fro before leaving out the door and to the training grounds when he arrived he saw Sakura leaning against the tree and the cashy casually standing in the open reading his not so innocent book Paka s Naruto waved causing the older Jan to look up I've told you too Sensei no longer stands anymore you're probably a lot stronger than I am now both of you he said simply yeah but nutun is not smarter Sakura said with a playful grin pointing her thumb at Naruto aing Naro crossed his arms who needs brains when they can just think while doing he stated blatantly you're about the only person I know who can multitask and only when you're fighting so that's doesn't count Sakura said with a dismissive wave of her hand anyway why did you want us to be here Kakashi Sensei Kakashi Shrugged well I came across something when shuffling through some old files I thought you guys would like to hear it he said tossing a scroll toward Sakura to which she promptly opened and began reading it what she looked up with a crazed expression this stuff doesn't honestly work does it there's no way you believe I do Kakashi closed his book and walked over to her hope can be found in some crazy places Sakura I suggest you open your eyes to some possibility he said Ludo walked over reading over the scroll himself um I agree with Sakura here this was sealed for a reason it's just an idea not an actual Jutsu the cashy face faulted do you guys have no respect for me at all anymore heesh let me explain a little bit further both stared at him with an expectant face this Jutsu is not complete yes however I'm not full I put some of the missing pieces of the puzzle together and came up with a solution he raised his hand and pointed to the top of the paper where the first instructions were right there it says that one person needs to perform that but it's wrong just as protection jutsus are held this can be held together with multiple people working together to form the portal his reasoning was true and both nuto and Sakura seemed lost in thought for a moment so going back it isn't impossible nutk voice held so much hope it almost made his voice crack with anticipation and excitement thehi nodded so we split these hand seals and then we can get back through the portal we make again Kakashi nodded with one exception of course what's that they both asked wek have to have people keeping the portal going in order for it to stay long enough to go through easy Naruto pushed his fist in the air I can just create Shadow clones he announced getting a nod of approval from his old teacher that's what I was hoping Kakashi said listen I've already got someone on top of what to do with this and I know you're in charge of the hospital Sakura I understand if both of you would like to stay but I can't live like this I won't die an old man but an empty one I need a new start I need to restart Kakashi's words were understood by both of them Theo shoved his hands into his pockets no one's getting hurt people are moving out of the leaf and to new Villages there's not much left to fight for I'm going with you cocka Sensei he said Sakura nodded the nurses are getting everything done I working on antidotes to poisons that are so rare there's only a 0.53% chance of actually getting them there's no way I'm letting you guys go without about me she vowed Bashi smiled through his mask then it's a plan let me tell you though we aren't going to a selected date this says we will be brought back to the day we are born but our memories will not be unlocked until our own mentality can withstand it so most likely we'll be awakened when we're around 5 to 10 crazy as that sounds but 5-year-olds are so open to possibilities it won't drive them insane plus the fact that we'll have to figure out some things before major events that happen when we're older we'll need the security of Innocence so we're actually doing this sakuru grinned and tossed the scroll on the ground the hand signs for everyone to see yes Naruto created his clones as they stood in the middle of the triangle they formed as the purple Hue surrounded them they began to let the peaceful sound of a light heartbeat fill their ears and lull them into a comforting sleep it's time to restart and with that they sank into the ground yep that's the plan they go to the past and are able to fix certain things and all I'll the next chapter devoted to Kakashi waking up solving certain things saving certain people wink wink and helping manado with the caoi happening so please tune in for the next chapter loveish chapter 2 someone asked if sukumo hadock would still be alive you'll just have to find out now wanta thanks for the positive feedback this chapter is just important parts of what Kakashi did after his Awakening B NJ y chapter 1 some people are mean harsh unkind but one is not born thinking I want to be bad no one is born with their own desires first without a care in the world only knowing their own needs and wants their own wishes and dreams their own selfishness and Cravings humans are born broken but they strive to be truly good and until their footsteps disappear in shifting sand their desires will claim the day we they be good ones or bad ones tukumo walked along the streets his lazy attitude seemingly floating in the air his son held his hand casually walking by his side Bashi he said looking down to his son you're going to be starting the Academy pretty soon are you excited he asked starting a conversation Bashi nodded a smile forming on his face he wore a face mask something he had always done so it was hard to tell if he was smiling or not his father had learned to read his eyes however I'll get strong father just as you Kakashi said looking back to the bustling koha roads well keep hold of that determination son it'll get you far his father smiled down at him appreciating The Humbling respect B Kakashi stopped suddenly his eyes freezing and focusing on something that seemed to be non-existent his eyes widened as they looked up to his father then glancing down at his hands father he said shakily looking up at their conjoined hands are you all right Kakashi sukumo asked kneeling down in front of his son Kakashi Kakashi's eyes began to tear up his lip trembling under his mask I he stuttered I without any further mumbles he reached out and clung to his father's chest his hands gripped his shirt his forehead leaned to his heartbeat tukumo just stayed there giving a loving Smile as he placed his chin on the top of his son's head it's okay Kakashi Kakashi soon pulled away wiping his eyes with his arm and gave a grin finally he thought taking a deep breath and clinging to his father's hand once more unlike what he thought Kakashi remembered everything that happened he's lived this life and his past life he remembered it all his smile never faded that day he had finally awakened Bashi you just think you're better than everyone abido challenged leaning into Kakashi 's face it was their last day at the Academy and the Rivalry between them was simply fate abido began to scrunch up his face and in a small voice pronounced oh look at me I'm Kakashi and I'm just so talented Bashi just shrugged your words not mine he said I glad you think so highly of me abido Kan he teased his friend the hyper her coiled and waved his hands in the air GA Kakashi you perv he just Shrugged again in response and looked up as the teacher entered the classroom shush up shatter box and listened to the teacher Kakashi pushed his friend's face out of his way and sat down abido with much reluctance backed off and sat down behind him pffft whatever he grumbled okay class settle down I know you're excited about graduating but you've got to sit still for One Day More the teacher stood in front of the class he wore a blue bandana around his neck and his ninja headband across his left arm now please be seated everyone else who was standing sat down and waited patiently though one thought was going going through all their heads ninja do since you all have graduated yesterday I'll be announcing teams we'll go from Team 1 to 10 further instructions will be announced when the teams are organized no arguments either you've been selected by the Hokage himself he said team one will consist of M guy serat toi auma and ikiki kurai team two will be Pak Kakashi naharin and abido team three will be Bashi drained out the rest of the words and gave a crooked grin to aido though with his mask on he doubted beo would notice it and the fact he was only staring at Tren was a large part of course he'd be staring at her he thought with another smile he was getting soft but technically he was a 50-year-old man in a 12-year-old's body and that was about the last time he'd ever think about that but the shudder Kakashi noted that everyone had already gotten up and left the classroom waiting for their own Sensei had Kakashi not come from the future and not lived this moment before he would have no idea what just happened but luckily he did and that way abido would still think he actually listened to the lesson like he should have wait where's everyone abido asked standing up and glancing around the class the cashi gave an incoherent chuckle well if you hadn't been staring at Tren you whole life maybe you'd actually know we're meeting Sensei here abido Kakashi stated matter of factly Bren nodded a faint blush on her cheeks Kakashi's right abido Wen you listening she asked mumbling abido scratched his head and sat down again I'm so sorry I'm late this usually never happens a voice sounded from the doorway this instantly brought a full out grin on Kakashi's face but he quickly hit it he couldn't let any misconstrued things get tossed about with his attitude a tall blonde stepped into the classroom I'm manaton Amicus Team 2 squad leader it had been years eight years in fact since Kakashi had awakened he was an U member abido was jonan Ren worked at the hospital manado was Hokage everything was lined up as was everything lined up for tonight the night the caoi would attack the night that Kakashi would have to tell manado and his team about his past before this life it wasn't something he stressed with after Ren and Abo's death in the old times he learned to live in the moment rather than be caught up in it but now that the day is actually here he couldn't help but constantly get an uneasy feeling in his gut what on Earth was he going to say okama lado Sensei Kakashi you know I don't like the formalities of this DB manado said lightly as he leaned forward on his desk what can I do for you cashy his smile seemed to make it harder for the words to come out but he knew that this was a need be otherwise many people would die listen there's something I've been hiding for a long time Bashi admitted taking a seat in front of the desk he put his hands in his pockets and nervously played with the lint inside this would make any sense but I need to say it otherwise many people will die tonight Kakashi saw monado's attention suddenly zaap to a full 100% who's in danger he asked is it the AA Clan no nothing to do with the AA Clan well yes and no I mean it's a long story Kakashi took a long breath I'm from the future suddenly mado's face dropped to a Placid expression but Kakashi continued anyway if his Sensei thought he was crazy he might as well hear him out where I come from it's a much different place my father died on Mission suicide because he had chosen his teammates over the ninja code the entire ukor thought of him as a disgrace leading him to his fateful demise again a deep breath was Drew by the Hat I was drove into a dark time I was constantly focused on the rules never sacrificing anything for Teamwork because it showed a weakness in my father's life it wasn't long after that did aido and ren get on the same team as me with you as our Sensei with our problems aside we all had our bonds but my own rule following attitude stuck with me until I had to pay the ultimate price lenado looked almost stoic but Kakashi knew he was listening I had to watch a beo die right in front of me and all because he pushed me out of the way he saved me and I never was able to repay him a silent tear rolled down Kakashi's eye he gave me his Sharingan as a parting gift I was to be his eyes so Ren removed his left eye and placed it in my own I had gotten my own eye ripped apart from an earlier battle that day so it was a necessity and I was honored to take it Theo's death had a great effect W me leading me into different paths and harder turns than I was originally willing to face I killed Ren I killed her not because of hate and not because she was an enemy she had been turned turned into a gingeri and lost control almost obliterating the entire Leaf Village I had no choice another tear fell but aido never died lenado shifted in his chair sitting up straighter abido was taken by Madara as I'm sure you know of him and he used aido to get revenge on the leaf abido somehow watched me kill her in he watched me and never forgave me until after the war abido became the new Madara until Madara himself decided to come out of hiding and make his move the leaf Village United with the other nations and together we Pro the war the great ninja war but set that aside there are more important things I need to say Kakashi leaned towards his Sensei his eyes completely serious their son is in danger as is kashina and the rest of the leaf abido came and took the caoi from kashina after the birth the seal was weakened so it was easy to take her over when the nine Tales was taken from her abido used it to destroy the leaf it would have worked had you not saved the village but not without a price you sacrificed both your life and kashima's life to gave your sons you sealed the fox into him and then passed as Heroes of the leaf thehi stood up looking out the window the attack happens tonight there was silence for a while by son so it is a boy manado gave a smile but it vanished as he calculated what was actually happening why didn't you tell me earlier the harshness in his voice was something Kakashi didn't hear very often it wouldn't have done any good Kakashi mumbled if I said anything earlier you'd only worry about it now besides I've already come up with the plan if Madara actually makes his move you mean there's a chance he may not manado asked hopeful but without jumping to conclusions Bashi nodded it was aido who attacked the village not Madara but I'm sure Madara found another life to use who knows what could happen lado nodded what is your plan then if we know heun's coming we have an advantage and without the renan he shouldn't be as powerful Kakashi looked and met is sensei's eyes thein again that war must have been brutal yeah but nothing a hero couldn't fix never never mind that though that isn't my story to tell listen manado Sensei you must have kashina protected at all costs I'll be helping you guard her tonight tonight she has the baby tonight mado's hands suddenly shake the cashy sighed well that's why her seal was weakened sense say but let's keep our head straight right I can keep anyone from coming inside and aido can help me I'm not telling either of them of this it'll only make them worried or regretful I don't want to burden them with my old life Kakashi said vonado nodded of course once he's born you can use your Technique to teleport them to your house where we'll guard them further we'll have the entire ano at the house without your child Sensei this world will go into a lot of chaos lenado grows silent for a minute he comes with you he said my son travels back with you manato looks into his students eyes the cashi turns away I'm afraid I can't say but I'm sure you'll know who came with me in time respectfully menado nodded and stood up letun get this all planned out then sh shall we it had been hours hours and hours but nothing's happened Ken is in the hospital under surveillance and everything seems to be going smoothly besides the normal chaos of birthing a child everything seems okay what are we doing this for Kakashi abido asked shoving his hands into his pockets I canceled my date he pouted Bashi rolled his eyes we had reason to believe someone was going to extract the caoi from Kina we've gone over this abido I know abido looked over at his teammate I trust you Kakashi and with that Kakashi gave a warm smile to his teammate and suddenly a loud cry Was Heard Kakashi froze and became stiff ready for anything to happen but nothing did inside the hospital room lado leaned by his love and looked at his son blonde hair whisker marks bright blue eyes he was amazing beautiful welcome to the world Naruto Kina whispered kissing her sonk forehead you're safe here in a cave outside the leaf sat a shaded figure I know what you've done k I may not make my move now but the time will come and I will get revenge yep that's the basic plot right there anyone want a different person to take ao's role in some things any characters you absolutely hate and want to get rid of are made evil tell me XD they have to be reasonable so no Naruto Sakura Kakashi manado kinao Rin must I go on this was a long chapter thanks for reading feedback is welcomed lisher e chapter 3 so after a lot of thinking and enjoying writing Kakashi I figured hey why not keep up with the current time the problem with this is that there won't be romance but maybe cute fluff anyway what I plan on doing here is simply play out certain parts as I did with Kakashi however I'm not going to go from age 12 to age 20 in fact Naruto's Awakening could happen in later chapters just enjoy the normality of this bu narudo and Sakura being the main people as well as Kakashi you'll get some interaction between the two plus manado and kashina are live so he'll be treated different in future chapters thanks for reading that through and thanks for the pleasant reviews B NJ y chapter 2 there's something about silence that's threatening as if the unknown is eating your very Soul it's not just the nothingness there can never be nothingness but the norm that people begin to adapt when there's silence the hope they form the dreams the put to action it's a great time one for celebration and joyousness but if one knows better they know it doesn't last and thus the silence creeps further into their head the was high in the sky clear skies a bit of Breeze honestly the weather was absolutely awesome perfect beautiful Theo enjoyed these days he enjoyed thinking of what has happened during his life what he's accomplished what he dreams of for further days ahead thinking is man's true friend yet it can still destroy them abido knew this so he thought of Happy Times not living in the past his life as a Shinobi wasn't all that tough and at times Kakashi seemed like his Guardian Angel when they were jenin he was able to say something as if he knew it would happen Manata used to question him about it but Kakashi simply said it was Instinct whatever that meant abido just liked to go with the flow of things of course he had his own ways of getting there but he got there all the same abido abido turned around to see Ren running over to him a smile playing on her lips what's up Ren he grinned slightly tilting his head Ren handing him a piece of paper kha gave me that earlier this morning it's an invitation to nar's first birthday party she smiled again walking alongside the AA well then I hope you don't mind being my date to this party abido said with fake Gusto he held his arm out letting her take it in her hands I don't know she said playfully tapping her chin I had my eyes on another guy Theo just fured his brows then heun have to go through me now won't he he said pulling her closer to him Rin giggled leaning her head on his upper arm I suppose I can be your date suppose abido repeated kissing the top of her head clearly I've got some competition out there he said they continued to playfully walk throughout the town enjoying the peacefulness of the sky just one more step Naruto kha held Naruto's fisted hands as he wobbly moved his foot on the carpet his leg shot forward and his toe would Point searching for the ground below him when it finally made its Mark he let go of his mother's hands and plopped to the floor with a huff bigging kha sat down beside her son you think you're tired think of having to run around the house after you've made a mess K teased poking his nose in which he promptly scrunched and moved his head away no he mumbled kha was about to continue her mini conversation with her son when there was a knock at the door she stood up and walked to the door reaching for the knob and opening it she was glad the door no longer squeaked manado had fixed that just last week Makoto kha moved from the doorway to let her friend come inside what are you doing here Makoto gave a teasing frown I can't say hello to my friend son it's his birthday after all and his first one for that matter oh of course K half-heartedly laughed and let her friend enter her home and you brought Sask kha smiled and patted the toddler's head he had an extra 3 months on nuto but since Naruto was so crazy and wild they seemed to be on the same maturity level and size though sasu could make more understandable words so what's new kha tried to start conversation sitting down on the couch loto Shrugged faku been working on getting Itachi ready to graduate the academy but other than that everything's normal graduating aachi is only 6 years old he's learning fast and he's already top of his class I hope he stays so kind-hearted though I'd hate to see his softness turned cold Makoto set SAS down on the ground at first he just sat there observing his mother's small talk with the red head he seen before but soon he began to slowly make his way towards Naruto when he was only arm length away he stopped staring him nuto put on a big grin only some of his small teeth showing reaching out his hands he not so gently gave sasuka high five in the face as soon as saso fell over his lips started to wobble preparing for a tempered tantrum but right as angry tears were about to fall there was a chubby hand in front of his face he grabbed it and sat up only to find nuto sitting there with focused eyes looking over him then another second he had the same grin again sasu too sharing the joy laughter they'll be good friends Mikoto smiled watching the interaction between them Thea nodded letun make sure it stays that way they looked to when they heard the click of the door manato walked in a smile on his face I was able to finish paperwork early plus they had mercy on my due to my son's birthday he said scooping up nuto and leaving sasu to watch half-heartedly at the scene well I guess I should be going now Makoto said standing up and picking up sasuki Shan keep dinner waiting she waved a goodbye and left the couple alone in peace I'll see you around kha hollered at the closing door lenado sat down on the couch nuto happily bouncing in his arms I think Kakashi abido and ren are coming over tonight he began betting in a comfortable position is anyone else coming he asked not sure what was planned for the night I only invited them too many people in the house never goes well she mused out loud they'll be here in about an hour or so anzo sat in the U headquarters pondering to himself across from him Sat a masked figure a hood covering his head he wore a dark cloak one with red clouds on it the very presence of him seemed intimidating anzo he said in a low voice the namk is child he mustn't live for long you know what happened to them don't you he continued anzo shook his head only that hadock seems to be able to read every move we make precisely he's a smart Shinobi you see Kakashi hadock isn't quite from this time he shares the memories of his past self the cloaked figure explained he came from a place where trial and error occurred much too often for the leaf and he seems to be piecing back the shattered glass of his old life and how did you come to this knowledge danzo pushed his luck asking the figure chuckled Darkly pulling his hood down to reveal a pitch black mask renan eyes bleeding through because I've done it Bashi appeared outside the namk as's household he had brought a gift for nuto something he knew he'd eventually like a plush frog he knocked on the door and waited for it to be opened abido Kakashi eyebrows raised as he scanned his friend over he found his own eyes meeting his and he stared at the black Cole eyes of the AA Clan the Sharingan something he once possessed and another life it is he didn't miss it though he enjoyed having two eyes open at once oh Kakashi we thought you'd never come abido teased opening the door for him to come inside lenado waved from the couch ELO Kakashi Kakashi nodded to the people in the room only being Ren abido kashina and manado plus little nuto rolling on the carpet hey here's a gift for the little guy Kakashi said casually setting the bag on the counter lonado Sensei can I speak to you for a moment I'd hate to keep you from this but it'll only take a second Kakashi said standing rather stiff manado without much reluctance got up and Lead Bashi down the hall where they could talk leaving Ren abido and kashen alone in the room to continue the conversation what is it Kakashi manado asked knowing it must be important if he would ask to talk to him Bashi fumbled his hands in his pockets until he finally let the word spill out your son he traveled with me so I thought correctly that day manado mused out loud why didn't you say anything to me it's not like couldn't handle it Bashi shook his head it's not that Sensei it's just Naruto's old story that bothered me you see when he awakens at around 5 to 10 years old he'll remember his past his old memories will combine with the new ones and he'll remember the pain of his past life the cashi explained Naruto wasn't just some light-hearted kid Sensei what are you getting at manado asked not quite understanding Kakashi's riddle I'm saying that Naruto's childhood was hell though he was able to grow up and deal with it in his own manner it won't change the fact that this life now is much different from the old one behavioral change will be very noticeable so I'm just warning you Kina could notice the village could notice it could be dangerous we can't have people knowing about us lonado nodded is it just you and Naruto who traveled back Kakashi thought about it a while he wasn't sure if he should tell lonado about sakur are not then again he Shan lie to his s saying no there were three of us myself your son and Sakura Haruno hero the the smaller blood Clan I don't even know as their families are ninja manado pointed out who's the Sakura Bashi gave a low chuckle she's something that's for sure she was one of my students when I was the squad leader of your son's team I had sasua Sakura Haruno and nuto yamaki Kakashi began a force to be reckoned with that doesn't answer my question Kakashi if Sakura came back with you that means she's in this village now as well we'll have to worry about her Awakening won't we manado asked getting to business as usual she's smart unlike your son who tends to think on his feet rather than his take time she'll figure it out easily Sakura was the proud pupil of Tsunade saw it herself in fact just after her passing Sakura surpassed her master she's the greatest medical nin I've ever known he said proudly amazing surpassing tunate that's almost unheard of manado exclaimed eyes wide well I'm sure she'll be of use in the leaf Village he said excited to meet her his head snapped back to Bashi as he remembered something sasua you taught him he asked thehi nodded I did he was one of my proudest pupils however his path wasn't an easy one I'm just happy he died for the right cause the massacre manado mumbled almost quiet enough that Kakashi couldn't hear how' you know the hadock asked straightening up anzo has approached me about the idea he claims that the a are trying to rebel against the leaf I know this is true but killing an entire Clan is cruel matado seemed to be talking to himself when he said this but Kakashi felt the need to respond ah yes indeed Sask was on a terrible path and it lead to nothing but Vengeance a similar story to myself and abido Kakashi mused however manado didn't understand the metaphor because he himself was dead in that life just make sure nothing leaks out okay Kakashi asked respectfully bowing when manado nodded thanks manado Sensei please you deserve a thank you yourself considering how much you have helped the village manado repli replied humbly now letun get back out there before they think something's up he laughs walking down the hall of course Kakashi followed manado down the hall and into the living room where everyone sat it was good to know that this life was much easier though Kakashi knew it wasn't going to last if there's one thing he learned in life expect the unexpected Vdara a cloaked figure Pitch Black Mask blood red clouds entered the room it's about danzo Lara turned around his older face seemed to Sag and weigh down his body what is it youi I'm afraid he plans on doing things his own way Udi said adjusting his place mask he may be more trouble than he's worth then we'll just have to fix that won't we Madara sneered kill him or make sure he listens youi nodded of course I'll make sure he follows orders wether that means killing him or keeping him alive we'll find out udai turned to leave but just as he was about to leave the dim room Madara spoke up again be would I Madara called stopping him in his tracks keep an eye out for the kid he said dismissing him him Theon namk is it's time I finally meet you there's the second chapter folks I'll update when I can't suggestions are welcomed I thank you all for your reviews I've read every one of them so don't think your questions won't be answered later in the story PS aumo is Alive and Well Kakashi saved him I deleted part of chapter 1 for many reasons and it had mentioned that sorry for my absented Miss P dtfn loveer chapter 4 thanks for the reviews once again and Tha always mentioned advice I'm reading your reviews so don't think they are unheard I take what you say to heart so I'll work on the bugs and loopholes you find throughout the story I will say this though I'm letting Kakashi give manato all the information over time the reason is because you can't just blow that one someone all at once therefore Kakashi is letting the wave ride out he doesn't want to give information to manado if he doesn't have to that's why there's the answer to some questions I got oh and sorry for the late update it's summer and I have vacation the NJ y chapter 3 arudo walked the streets of koha his hand held firmly in his father's the other in his mother's he always enjoyed the walks he shared with his parents something he did quite often he had just finished celebrating his fifth birthday party with his friends the other day and he was enjoying being a big boy now 5 years old was an accomplishment after all be strutted his strut and walked the walk all the way to the academy today was his first day he was going to meet friends friends that would grow up and fight alongside him live with him battle with him die with him of course in the mind of a 5-year-old it was more of just playing ninja it would be a long time until he fully understood what that truly meant Naruto Kina spoke causing nuto to look up at him are you excited for your first day she asked she had asked it many times almost too many to count and the way manado seemed to casually roll his eyes at the question let her know just how much she actually asked a lot but she couldn't help it the smile that he' put on his face and his excited and sparkling eyes were something she could look at for hours arudo nodded enthusiastically still open to sharing how excited he was yeah I'm going to become the bestest Ninja of all time he vowed shoving his fist in the air I'm going to get smarter and stronger that both of you his eyes shown so much promise and determination that kha was tempted to pick him up and tell him to stop growing up but her pride in her son stopped her he was becoming so strong just as his father you going to become stronger than us a sport manado asked looking down his arm and his son's face yep you don't think I'd let you two take all the glory did you he asked a spark of Mischief in his voice K snorted how rude of us to think such a thought arudo nodded obviously enjoying the attention not that he never had any that's okay I forgive you he said sincerely kha and manado shared a look their sons seemed to repeat conversations between themselves one time kha had just told manado that it was unprofessional to leave his shoes in the hallway and so when nuto overheard this he constantly said that it was unprofessional to leave anything anywhere dot she had to give the kid some credit it lead to some entertaining memories but sometimes it just made her Wonder well we're almost to the school manado said turning away from his wife and to the academy ahead wek pick you up after school okay he said giving him the rundown before they reached the doors okay and no picking fights yes ma'am respect your teacher okay be kind to the other kids yeah pay attention okay don't run around during class there will be plenty of recess time for Tha okay okay now if you let me he pulled from his parents giving them a huge grin I'm off to becoming a ninja theena sighed and much too fast they ran on ahead his quite large backpack in comparison to him bounced on his back making a subtle clack as the other younger kids raced forward in front of his parents nuto could be seen Vanishing through the crowd and into the school lenado held his wife's hand and turned around come on let's get back home he said leaning in to give her a brief kiss you shouldn't overdo yourself lado Kina began in a scolding voice I'm pregnant not helpless he gestured to her bulging stomach and sigh though at how big I am now I guess I might as well be laughing manado lead his wife back to their house quiet conversation peacefully floating between the two arudo bounced into his first class Sask had met him by the door where he began to tell him everything that Itachi had told him about the days as an Academy student how they practiced throwing real kunai or learning to fight with Tatsu so many exciting things that they would be able to learn everyone sit down the teacher said I am aruka and I'll be teaching you until you graduate to jenin he said pacing from one side of the class to the next you will learn about fighting strategy academics and most of all the will of fire theud seemed to perk up at those words his father had spoken them so many times and explained the meaning the will of fire is something that runs in all of the leaf Shinobi it's honor determination strength mercy and unpredictability now for the first day of school we'll go over some brief history and then we'll have lunch after that you'll all come back here and we'll go over the basics of throwing a kunai but we won't get to throw them today a few o and other disappointing sounds came from the class but aruka seemed unaffected now I'm going to pass out some pens do not write on your desk with them when you get a pen get a piece of paper that is on your table and go through the basic symbols of our language aruka instructed sasu picked a piece of paper kindly handing one to nut as well he grabbed a pen from the basket that was going around the classroom and both he and nuto began writing 5 years old and already writing the alphabet what is life come to Naruto slumped as he sloppily wrote all of the symbols drawing on the margin lines when he was finished excuse me a small voice came from behind him he turned around to meet large green eyes my pen broke could I use yours she whispered showing her broken pen without hesitation nuto nodded and handed her his pen no problem what your name he whispered back taking a quick glance at the teacher before proceeding to look at her zakura she smiled you're nuta right his eyes widened how do you know you're the hokage's son you look a lot like your dad you know she said testing the pen on her own side margins satisfied that it worked she continued her symbols say Naruto leaned towards her looking at her paper your handwriting is a lot neater than mine sakuran he said in a loud hush other had began to talk with others so he didn't feel the need to be Li she blushed but it disappeared so fast nuto wondered if he saw wrong I guess I just ride a lot nuto nodded grinning to himself as he turned back around grabbing sas's attention Sask he said successful in getting his friend's eye contact this is sakuran he said motioning to the pink-haired girl who sat behind him sakuran this is Sask he nodded Sakura smiled her blush seemingly appearing again when meeting sasukes eyes but again it went away in a blink of an eye it's good to meet you Naruto Sask everyone quite down aruka hushed the class now everyone gather here on this mat he said gesturing to the multicolored mat that laid on the floor in a few moments everyone had sat by their friends and looked intently at aruka let's go over simple spelling anyone know how to spell red he asked a few hands raised r e d one said when called good heruka smiled now how about yellow this is a harder one the day went on as such learning simple things and getting used to the school schedule nuto only being five found that some things were difficult like finding a seat without stealing someone else's or getting food and not getting a few snacks snatched from you the academics came quite easy to him his mom was strict in learning and getting things learned because she knew how much it would help him of course nuto thought it was just another way for her to torture him he could pull off an A but he didn't enjoy it if he had the choice he'd probably drop out and it was only his first day but this was the path to take to become a ninja and a ninja he would become the bell rang and Nudo slumped out of his Kai and made his way to the door finally school was out for the day he could actually do something Nudo a voice called he immediately recognized it hey sakuran he turned around and grinned he watched her intently as her eyes widened and an unrecognizable fog came into her eyes it was as if she was somewhere else but as quickly as it happened she blinked and shook her head um never mind I'll see you tomorrow Naruto she called giving him a smile and turning to run out the school doors scratching the back of his head nuto seemingly Shrugged it off for another time girls were weird his mother was proof enough for that how was your first day of school kha asked leaning down and getting eye level with her son they were just outside the schoolyard and other parents and kids were brushing by talking about their first day of school good I guess nuto Shrugged it was a little boring oh why is that Ken's eyebrows raised lonado who was standing behind her decided to join the conversation you didn't do anything he asked wondering if the academy was getting soft arudo rolled his eyes and put his hands lazily behind his head worse he muttered we had to do work his face was almost Picture Perfect to his mothers at this moment both had puckered lips and sour faces as soon as kha shook her face off she quickly scolded her son well that's what school is Naruto you need to learn things to become a ninja she said wisely nuto just nodded there was one good thing well there were a couple but I really enjoyed this moment he said waiting for his parents to prompt him to continue with interested nods they urged him to talk I met this girl named sakuran she's nice and super smart she has like the best handwriting I've ever seen he said moving his arms about to exaggerate his point lenado almost froze Sakura you said he asked remembering the name Kakashi spoke all those years ago Theo nodded UHA Thea dead panned my baby boy is only five he can't think about girls yet she dramatized beruto recoiled from his mother you no never in a million years I don't like girls he said running off into the roads of koha with a laughing kha and manado At His Feet life was good truly it was bero your days at the Academy will begin to get a little bit more exciting don't worry I'll be sure to give you quite the thrill the shadowed figure stepped back into the doors of the academy and evil Ora following him I think this chapter was shorter than the others ah well to bad for you I'll update when I can want lisher chapter 5 sorry for the randomness on updating it's just how I roll B the answer review Kakashi has only told manado about it and considering he being manado is Hokage and flipping needs to know why the hell his son randomly starts acting weid and talking to Kakashi a lot more though that actually hasn't happened yet but at some point will he needs to know what happened and only manado if something else gets sred up others will know maybe the M anyway just wanted to clarify chapter 4 it was strange for her this new place combined with the memories of her past life she knew everything about here and there wasn't anything wrong about it Eno and her hadn't becomes best friends yet so nothing to fear except getting to know her her friend she did have seemed pretty leged and nuto seemed to have touched Bass with her the other day at school he didn't have his memories though she was a completely new person to him and the best part about this new life she didn't necessarily fan over sasu yet cause she's only five or 6 years old yeah how old was she exactly normally her medical training could tell her her age but it was on an estimate was her birthday even the same day she smiled at the brief memory of Naruto she was glad that her team came with her she would miss some memories with Eno and her parents maybe with others as well but the memories with nuto were Irreplaceable with much of her heart she would say that many of nuto and her memories were her life brushing the thought aside she waved goodbye to her parents and shot out of the classroom doors what did kids learn in kindergarten colors simple ninja things well at least she won't have to listen in class this is all elementary stuff though nuto would probably need it she giggled at her joke though it probably was true and entered the classroom where a few students were sitting others standing some talking for the first time in forever things were actually normal Sakura Chan even that Sakura turned around even though she knew who it was just because she knew didn't mean that she should just be her old self again she needed to make a slow change subtle after all she was five that meant she needed to act like a 5-year-old what a joy a hey Nudo she smiled and gave a wave good enough hi where are you sitting sakuran he asked eagerly shrugging she pointed to the seats probably over there somewhere she teased she walked over and found a spot ignoring nutk wines and protest of being unspecific it was good to see nuto happy it had been a while since he'd had a real smile or it had been in her old memories sasukes death seemed to hit both of them hard but now sasukes alive Naruto has his parents and hopefully the AA Massacre won't happen but if it does it only means that they'll have to work harder at helping Sask she's no longer a weakling she's hunos Sakura heruka called present she squeed still not used to her tiny voice zakura began to think just what is changed if Lord forth was still alive and kicking then that means that the third won't be killed on The Invasion from the sand in fact The Invasion from the sand won't even happen or most likely and that means that GAR won be kazakage Dam she cursed gar not being kazakage that means we won't have an alliance with the sand everything between him and nuto will be ruined suddenly a small H inside her chest swelled and brought a smile to her face not if Naruto can help it the SST Sakura heard Naruto whisper though it wasn't directed towards her she still listened SAS how about we Spar after school sasu gave a huff you probably can't even hold a KU andai he teased with a small smile but sure why not sas's tone wasn't flat or emotionless you didn't have to read his eyebrows to see what he was actually thinking his voice his body movement seemed to tell her it was good to have a Carefree Sask she didn't get to know the real saso ever sure he was still serious but he was in a chah his pride was the size of his overly spiked Duck Butt hair giggling at her own joke she heard both nuto and Sask stop their conversation and look at her when she stopped she looked back at them Sask had a bewildered look and nuto was blushing now why on Earth would nuto blush self-consciousness began raking at her brain and she spun back around and looked at herself wondering if something was out of check what's that look for Baka she asked spinning around despite her teacher current lecture about something she probably already knew arudo whipped his head to the side mumbling something incoherent sasu glanced sideways at him with a knowing smirk playing on his lips he leaned down to Sakura still keeping his eyes on Nudo see seems do here actually likes a girl he whispered just loud enough for Naruto to hear a sasuki team I'll punch you good for that one Naruto launched at Sask with his hands outstretched and in just a few moments both boys were on the floor in some kind of fight definitely was not to Jutsu Sakura watched with an amused face not taking her eyes off the scene are you enjoying this Sakura Heard a Voice peep from beside her actually Sakura turned to find Eno looking at her with a strange look I am it was silent between the two before Eno broke into a smile my name's Eno she said not bothering to offer her hand i'm Sakura good to meet you Eno Sakura smiled and then glanced back to Naruto and sasuko what are they fighting over Eno questioned assuming that she knew the reason Sakura laughed Naruto got embarrassed about something she grinned saso decided to make fun of it she finished Eno nodded those two always fighting about something Sakura sighed yeah I swear I'll kill you they heard nuto Mumble from sas's hand that covered his mouth suddenly the class grew quiet as aruka figure hovered the boys aam he began both Sask and nuto halting in their actions I do believe you're disrupting the class he said semi poly it was the hokage's son after all he didn't want his son coming home and telling his dad about how horrid his teacher was Nudo stood up reluctantly like anyone listens he mumbled receiving a sharp elbow from Sask but a vain throbbing in his forehead huku went back with what dignity he had left to teach the class class was over and with a sigh Sakura exited the classroom she was just about out of the schoolyard when the same voice as earlier called her name sakuran she stopped and turned around you want watch me beat sas's butt he asked from afar but his foxy grin could be seen from a mile away as well as the rock that was being flung at his face from the prair zakura laughed and waved her hand dismissively I actually have to go nuto I'm sure you'll whoop sassu good though she said sarcastically though Naruto didn't seem to to catch it in steady fist pumped and began to brag about something to Sask she almost forgot that his mind was still five she began to go to the marmoreal stone where her Sensei used to always sit she wondered briefly if he would be there since abido and ren weren't actually dead she Shrugged and decided to run anyway finding her body getting tired and more exhausted quicker when she could see the marmoreal stone in sight she slowed down and began walking the rest of the way again a voice stopped her and what are you doing out here by yourself shouldn't you be School the calm voice asked zakura turned around and saw her Sensei young and still knows deep in the trash she called literature still reading I see Sakura said her eyebrows raised unamused Bashi glanced up at her his eyes squinting yes it seems I read a lot he said casually the fft Sakura rolled her eyes not seems it's a fact Kakashi quite the tongue you've got for a 5-year-old he chastised a playful smile on his face it's good to see you so soon Sakura she nodded with a smile of her own yeah I'm surprised I awakened as fast as I did it doesn't make sense why did I remember so quickly Bashi Shrugged my best guess would be that something or some one triggered it zakura thought about that for a moment triggered it she asked herself quietly no understanding What would life was pretty normal around here though she found it funny that it triggered her first day of school what would trigger it well as much as I'd like to stay in chat Sakura I'm pretty sure it' be strange if I randomly was talking to you well I wait for my teammates to get here Kakashi said casually Sakura shot up and waved sorry Sensei stop calling me that Bashi watched her walk off when he felt eyes on him hello abido he said turning around to meet ao's amused face so you're a pedophile now a Kakashi he teased Kakashi practically fell over no he said cooly sure sure you just so happened to meet a young 5-year-old by the memorial stone when she's supposed to be in school actually it just got out Kakashi corrected Ed wouldn't you know abido said suggestively laughter could be heard from afar as Ren approached the clearing abido she half scolded stopped teasing Kakashi why should I he teases me he protested as if a child despite his age Kakashi gave him a look I thought you enjoyed the teasing of course I don't that's not what you said last night I swear Kakashi I'll have your head Brin could only watch as the childish banter went on these Were Somehow her teammates and the fourth hokage's students she sighed and took out the mission scroll looking over it while they continued whatever it was they did Bish was in the living room talking with nuto about his day he always seemed to love talking about his day it was the first thing he'd do when he'd get home and then guess what he said pausing in between his storytelling what no guess Naruto pressured a grin across his face the took a deep breath thinking about what her son was talking about moments ago he was fighting Sask apparently winning do and claimed Victory within the entire Village you became the Village Hero she asked hoping she was following her son's imagination he rapidly shook his head no that's later mom you ruined it after I beat sasuka get sakuran to play with me he said pumping his fist into his chest he flashed a foxy grin then I become the hero of the village bash sighed my bad she said struggling to get up how about a snack you want a snack she asked glancing behind her as she made her way to the kitchen she could hear nuto make a noise in the other room you're always hungry he teased hopping onto the stool at their counter B gave him a look that instantly shut him up well I am eating for two you know she said resting one arm on her swollen stomach she continued to rummage through the cupboards and get some things out for a snack cheese and crackers sounded nice the door was heard as it clicked and opened revealing a sighing manado setting his things on the table by the door he made his way to the kitchen watching his family sit at the counter here let me help you kha his smile that he wore was genuine so she didn't have any trouble letting him help the loud crack was heard in the kitchen as kha dropped a plate grabbing the counter quickly as if about to fall she closed her eyes tightly trying to focus on getting the pain to go away her Knuckles turned white and her jaw clenched manado rushed over his hands on her shoulders rubbing gently kha are you all right he asked trying to look at her face she shook her head no she gasped looking up at him once the intense wave was gone the baby's coming so let me give you a thought to think about if nuto was so special with being a prophecy basically and all do tell me what will this child's prophecy be names I'm open to anything however I also enjoy the fact that I can choose a name I've always enjoyed picking names but if you guys want one tell me and I'll see if it fits the character I'm making also another question girl or boy it doesn't matter with characteristics that I'll give it I hope you enjoyed sorry for the longish weight I've been about going crazy with all these stories going on normally I put them on pause but it get a creative streak for one and then another lisher E chapter 6 I haven't said this yet so I'll say it now thank you all who have put my story in a community five communities is pretty good if you ask me of course I'm not crazy big on fanfiction so I honestly have no idea what's good and what's not I'd say I'm a medium popular writer my stories and grammar still need work so the middleman is good enough for me D because I'm super awesome I decided to draw a picture of the lovely baby that is is to be Naruto little sibling I suggest taking a look after you read so nothing spoiled anyway it's on my devian page my username is lovely Sherry search it and it should pop up the picture name is called little one thank you thank you here's the next chapter e NJ y chapter 5 why is it that the one time a mind freezes is in a time of conflict why not it freeze when people try to sleep to relax but no it tends to run even faster when you sit down and let yourself think think of possibilities or happenings of memories but then as soon as something flashes and comes right at you you freeze you can't do a thing your body just doesn't want to move and that's why manado tried his best to not let himself be surprised but there are always exceptions lado add lado shook his head right he nodded grabbing his wife's wrist we need to go to the hospital use your damn Jutsu manadoob Baka Kash cursed yanking her arm back only to winse at another contraction manado again looked at her strangely it wasn't until he felt a tug on his pants did he look down to see nuto handing him a three-prong kunai right that Jutsu H high he stuttered making a seal and concentrating on the kai he had put in the office then in a Flash they disappeared the kai Naruto held fell limply to the ground with a ringing clink and the house fell silent but the hospital was erupting in chaos lado rushed to nurse after nurse Naruto rushing behind him normally manado was calm collected strong but many times he was quite quite a pansy in matters such as this of course it wasn't every day that your wife had a child and nut's birth wasn't an easy one there were many complications with seals and the caoi the caoi monado's eyes widened the caoi wouldn't try and Escape would it there's no way not again it was the masked man who wanted to screw it all up caoi wouldn't Escape it couldn't manado rushed to another nurse asking for anything about Kina she simply shook her head and rushed to another room lado manado stopped short of ask again and turned around relax all right his eyes widened and a faint smile broke out on his face jera s say what are you doing in the village Gua chuckled and folded his arms well I came by to see how the fourth Hokage and his family was doing little did I know the family was growing he lifted a brow K's in the delivery room yeah manado breathed he felt a tug at his shirt and looked down to see Naruto who's the old man Naruto asked bluntly looking strangely at Jura something behind his eyes clicked but he blinked and it was gone G's face fell looking overly stoic at Naruto heun's got K's manners he said blatantly bado laughed nervously we're working on that he said he seems to think he can speak whatever pops into his head nuto however seemed oblivious to their conversation as he continued to stare down jera something was strange about this man he had sworn he'd seen him before pervy Sage he cocked his head as the thought came into his mind jera a he'd heard that before but no matter his big brother senses were tingling as he heard the door to his mom's room open and then close a nurse coming out and rushing to his dad okama she cluttered the tools in her hands into her large lab coat Pockets your wife is ready to see you she said Nudo just about ran into the room but was held back just as he began running sorry Naruto Youk have to stay back with jera Sensei here manado said shoving a squirming and reluctant Naruto into jer's arms Youk be able to come in soon I promise B wait I want to see but it was too late manado had already closed the door and the nurses were rushing back to what they were doing nuto slumped into the old Sage's arms PFF he huffed Dua laughed and set Naruto down beside him don't worry Youk be in there soon Naruto just moved his head to the side in a dismissive manner however his Natural Curiosity tended to cause and diminish his rebelliousness he looked at jera with a cocked brow so you're Jura Gua nodded his chest puffing the one and only he stuck his thumb out as if proving his point more lady killer you Naruto recoiled from him as if he were toxic you kill women stay away from my mom he yelled standing up straight and staring into his eyes or I'll kill you myself for a moment there was silence something that was hard to come by in the rushed hospital but nothing lasted forever you brat I don't kill women I sweep them off their feet you don't sweep women you sweep dirt but I guess it's the same to you I swear I mean I make them all come to me nuto froze and looked at him with the most OD expression so you're a chick magnet sure whatever floats your boat kid jera rubbed his temples to try and relieve his headache perve Naruto grinned pervy Sage that's what you are he laughed holding his stomach to contain himself Bera under normal circumstances would have hit the brat however being he was in a hospital and he was the hokage's sons Cru they were in a hospital he'd get healed ow Naruto held his head in pain what the heck pervy Sage what did I do GAA crossed his arms and huffed learn some manners kid jeris Sama Kakashi greeted as he abido and ren entered the hospital waiting room I see you ran into Naruto he said looking at the scene before him Naruto was crouched and holding his head as jera looked at him with his arms crossed a satisfied smirk on his face hey Kakashi abido Ren how have you guys been jera said being conversational narudo flicked his head up when he heard the names abido he yelled running over and hiding behind the care frea has back you know this perv he asked looking up at him but taking a few glances back at the sage thehi full out grinned and ren laughed at what nuto said abido just seemed to stare in awe at the blonde behind him you Naruto are a genius nuto cocked his head why is that abido I've been trying to find a nickname for jeros Sama for ages pervy Sage it fits perfectly he grinned glancing at Ren she shook her head in amusement and slapped ao's arm Gua slumped no respect none at all he he mumbled arudo stepped back from aido standing between the AA and the hadock he looked up at them at how close they all seemed to be how much he long for it it didn't make sense why he would though he's had a perfect life except when the villagers hated him where did that come from nuto wondered still looking at the once team too he let his arms fall limply to his side memories knocking on his brain but none coming in he shook his head was there something he was missing what the hell was going on gasama a nurse called all eyes looked to her she pointed to the delivery room door lady Kina is all finished and they are ready to see Nudo she said the silent fact that only Naro was to go and seemed to be understood Naruto slowly walked to the door where the nurse let him in and then closed it behind her it was strange there were many things nuto expected to feel he expected to feel happy he expected to feel like a big brother he expected to feel slightly jealous at having to share attention he expected to feel older but none of those expectations occurred instead he felt joyous he felt responsible he felt gracious and he felt as if all of the world suddenly crashed into his mind but it wasn't sorrow that followed it was relief true clinging relief suddenly what he wanted didn't matter he saw his family in front of him and wanted nothing else family was what got him where he is now and family is where he'll always be no matter where or when always do Mom Dad he whispered approaching the hospital bed his father sat on and his mother rested on he climbed onto the bed careful not to disturb the baby in his mother's arms and he watched with observant eyes he didn't ever want to look away this is your little sister Naruto K breathed kissing nutk head and then the little ones her name is em she smiled em uzamaki namus nuto watched as it seemed Sparks erupt from his sister fluttering into his stomach and making his face break out into a huge grin it was uncontrollable strange completely new now he had someone to protect with his life be me he looked at her oh she's G your red hair mom he said suddenly that the child's eyes opened and looked around falling place when she met Naruto's blue eyes Naruto part of him wanted to jump back when he heard the voice it didn't come from his sister but from where nuto he tried not to react continuing to stare into his little sister's eyes he reached out his hand and touched her head gently as if glass and right as his fingers swept her heated head and thin red hair he froze eyes fogged ears ringing buddy paralyzed Nito come back remember he shot up and off the hospital bed staring at the complicated pattern in the celling his eyes drooped and His Hands felt cool on the hospital floor but as soon as he fell he got back up staring at his parents who were staring at him nuto manado asked looking strangely yet expectedly at his son kha looked on tiredly as if expecting something like that are you all right in a Flash they were all enveloped into a family hug I love you guys he whispered not loosening his grasp so much lenado looked at his son only the age of five had Kakashi been right is this the old nuto too be as it may be he couldn't fight off the warm feeling in his chest so he too embraced his family months later it was strange living in this world every day he thought about it every day he woke up thinking it was only a dream and he never wanted to wake up this world was hopeful full of family full of friends and since he has his memories regaining his skills W be too hard he suffered enough as it is so his experience was abundant the only problem was things would alter he and Sakura had talked about it one day he had said how much would alter how things would change what ha already changed Sakura pointed out that GAR may never be kazakage unless he went on another Rampage but they didn't want to willingly destroy something was garabi and kazakage actually worth it maybe not but making garabi him's actually self that was kazakage aside he wanted his friend and the a massacre that was another one it's great that it won't happen not with his father as Hokage and Sask will fall on the right path and without the curse mark their team would stay together but with their team staying together that meant no sigh and no sigh meant well it just meant no sigh some things would change in this world but at least it was for the better arudo smiled as he entered his house he had just gotten home from school normally his parents would pick him up but today his dad had something and someone was coming over so his mom had to stay at the house hey Mom I'm home he called he actually had no no idea who to expect when he came into the room jera was back out on his missions so it wasn't him plus he couldn't picture his mom and jera in the same room without his dad we in the kitchen she hollered back we he noticed so there was someone else home he walked into the kitchen to see only his mother cleaning dishes and his sitter on the floor half wrapped in a blanket and half sprawled out playing with her toys like normal he walked to his sister and sat down across from her snatching a toy from the ground and placing it back down acting as if it were walking well haven't you grown up he heard a rasp Bo say HEK heard it before in fact the tone of it made him freeze that voice so you must be nuto he turned around his eyes curious and His Hands eager to reach out but he didn't he didn't know tunate yet in this world high was all he said a grin plastered on his face he couldn't resist it granny it worth it the face the old hag made was worth it he sure had missed the times he could tease her especially since she died in the war a shadow of regret passed by him but it dissolved into the hopeful I see he's got your tongue tunate said not blaring but somewhat amused nuto heard his mother's laugh from the kitchen yeah can't really think through what he says hopefully Emy will be able to hold her H she said entering the kitchen with a plate of baked goods something Nudo never knew about his mother she was actually an amazing cook but he appreciated when anyone would cook for him but I have a feeling she's gotten more of monado's traits rather than my own she said she's much more collected even at four months burito couldn't help but inwardly agree he nodded to himself and then grabbed whatever smelled amazing on the plate and dashed out of the front door I'm going to the park he yelled Kash sighed shaking her head placing the plate on the counter she turned to tunate so what was it you wanted to talk to me about she asked it's about the caoi she said the caoi kash's hand went to her stomach what about it sunate sighed I was sensing the chakra around the village something I normally do when I get here and I was expecting to feel just your caoi she said but it seems Naro has inherited it inherited it but the CAO is just as strong as before so how does he have the cais chakra kha leaned against the counter her mind was spinning at what she had heard to caus I don't know how and I don't know why but there is a caoi sealed into your son I think this chapter may be shorter or well anyway I appreciate you all who have supported me so far if you guys have suggestions I'm open s o Nish I'll be skipping the time to when they're graduating and going on to team seven you'll see some events that lead to that and some that didn't but all together it'll hopefully turn out right thanks for reading lisher e chapter 7 so I'm not an Nudo expert like I had guys team wrong the reason I messed that up and I didn't make sure what his team was in the real series is because I wanted to use the team in the future for something that will remain unnamed however if I make large mistakes go ahead and tell me I watched the show from for my own reasons but I'm no expert on it I [ __ ] all the knowledge I know thanks again for the reviews and favors followers all the attention you give this story chapter 6 many people could look at someone who's suffering and turn around just close their eyes and walk away without a second thought not because they are full of hate but simply because it's easy to do however someone who has trained their hearts to stop and help is someone who is truly good sure their Instinct may have been to keep walking but they have trained their hearts to want to be good that is when someone's good in that moment there are many other things that can make someone good may it be hard or easy but it just depends on whether you are willing to stop and do something kha was someone who tended to do so her determination and stubbornness can be only a mask of her emotions that just want to let everything be heard something that matado grew to love with utmost certainty okama a voice called from mado's office door he looked up taking a breath and sitting up come in his assistant walked in papers in her arms your wife is asking for your presence at home she said lado raised his brows normally kha wasn't one to wait she would just walk right into his office and talk to him either it was very good or very bad he stood up thanking Aki aski walked past her and began walking down the hall normally he just flashed there but he was enjoying his thinking time in the office so he took some time to think before flashing off he was positive his son had awakened maybe Kina noticed something off about him but ever since e was born he's been acting weird so it would wouldn't make sense a for her to notice now maybe he said something that clued something they didn't know yet did he scare her was this even about nuto was something wrong with him possibilities ran through his head like a wildfire on a dead field he didn't notice that he was at his front door until it flung open were you planning on standing out there all day manado kha asked looking at him strangely something bothering you startled slightly he gave a half Fel chuckle and pushed a hand behind his head well actually yeah I thought something was wrong you sort of sent Aki to tell me to come home he said hoping there was a mistake he'd rather have a small waste in time than an actual crisis Funk brow furrowed yeah I did then there was silence well manado asked stepping inside to find everything normal relief flooded through him as he saw their daughter playfully smiling at him as he entered the room K sighed Swan came over today she began getting manado attention she had said that she was sensing the chakra around the village taking a seat at the table she said that as usual she could feel the cao's chakra within myself but she felt it somewhere else too lunk eyes widened the caui escaped what how it didn't Escape manado there's just another inside out son she had expected to see a lot of things in mado's eyes when she said this she thought she'd see shock maybe confusion hell she thought she'd see even anger but she didn't expect to see nothing absolutely nothing he just stared at her as if he were solving a puzzle so it came back with him he sighed running a hand through his hair but kha leaned close over the table to look into his eyes is there something you need to tell me there was a hint of aggression in that statement but she kept her temper under control lenado sat down across from her I didn't think it was possible it was only supposed to transfer their minds how how could this manado kha yelled slamming a hand on the table what's going on is nuto in danger she asked pain and agitation ripping through her voice her eyes flicked back and forth in his own and he couldn't help but give a tired sigh listen kha I didn't think that it was something I should share I mean I don't even think he knows if I know the only reason I know if because of Kakashi Kakashi what does this have to do with Kakashi manado I swear if you're hiding something nutk mind is from the future and again silence excuse me kha fured her brow nutk mind the future what are you even talking about lonado put his hands up in defense it well I don't know all the details but Kakashi told me just before Naruto was born that the caoi was going to escape and a man would attack the village though it never happened he still seemed nervous about something about nuto soon I began to connect Dots here and there and I knew that nuto was coming back with him and someone else did too but he asked me not to tell anyone because it could endanger them it could endanger our son our son you think I'd endanger our son my son ouch that one stung no I was just thinking it' be safer I know I may be a blabber mouth at times but I wouldn't go around gossiping about my son God manado who do you think I am I wouldn't even think about hurting nuto she cursed continuing to lean over the table further lenado sighed taking in a deep breath I know you wouldn't do that Kina please know that Kakashi had told me not to tell anyone and I'm still trying to figure some things out I didn't really think it was necessary to tell you he looked her in the eyes has filled with a knowing guilt I'm sorry truly I am she leaned back Crossing her arms I know she breathed this is just a little surprising you know tucking at his wife's vocabulary he nodded maybe if we had Bashi explained some things to us it' help a little he suggested nodding with him she leaned up and stretched a hand to touch his own yeah Bashi sneezed earning a look from aido and ren he Shrugged and put his hands into his pockets they say when you sneeze a pretty girl is talking about you Theo snorted how on Earth do you even sneeze with that thing on he asked tilting his head back Bashi Shrugged I've always worn this thing it's strange to have it off I suppose I just sneeze like a normal person he sighed abido fur at his brow you know why don't you take that off he suggested Bashi shook his head why not you take off your pants Abid recoiled wano why would I take off my pants why would I take off my mask it's not the same Kashi abido shoved his hands into his pockets let's just get back to the Village it's been a long mission the cashi nodded sure sure zakura sat on the bench of the park she enjoyed watching other kids play and if she felt like it she'd play herself she found that the only reasons older kids didn't play little kids games was because they thought they were little kids games the fact was it was still a whole lot of fun she smiled in memory of playing cops and robbers she smiled in memory of getting nuto into jail and him complaining she enjoyed these memories she enjoyed the real hope in this life she heard footsteps behind her and turned to see nuto walk up to her sakuran he greeted sitting beside her how you've been he asked casually swinging his legs under him she smiled back good she was in a chipper mood and she noticed her voice squeak in a happy tone so why do you wear that ribbon Naruto questioned pointing to the red ribbon that was tied around her head pulling her hair back what do you mean I always have worn this she said looking at him strangely it keeps my hair out of my face she said somewhat in defense Theo Shrugged well I think you look awesome anyway has honestly caught Sakura by surprise normally he had a too cool for you act she juster Shrugged it off pulling some of her hair behind her ear how's e she asked aruto grinned good it's awesome to have a little sister he said honestly zakura tilted her head at this you mean her crying a lot doesn't bother you she leaned against the back of the bench enjoying the small Breeze that flew by he Shrugged in response I mean I guess it does I don't care though having a real family's cool now this really got Sakura thinking of course it was good to have a real family but nuto wouldn't know any different or this nuto wouldn't know any different had he awakened why hadn't he told her about onaro wouldn't know either oh what a bother life could be patching a quick idea she put her fist up about ready to pound the namic's head into the cement as soon as she let her fist fly towards him he flung his hands up expecting the oncoming blast and the most shocking part or not shocking was the fact that he didn't say anything to stop her as if had expected to get hit for no reason now as annoying as this was to Sakura she knew that the new nuto wouldn't scream and ask her what he did wrong considering that Sakura never hit him ever or not like she had in their old life she knew nuto shouldn't expect a hit so why pray tell did he narudo she said stopping midair and putting her arm back at her side why were you expecting me to hit you she cocked her head acting as innocent as possible nuto noticed her fist was no longer targeting his head so he peaked out from his shell of arms and gave a weak laugh come on sakuran it's not like that would be the first nunk eyes widened damn it damn it damn it damn it he tried to quickly recover time I out tried to dodge a hit you know with Sask and I fighting like we do nuto Sakura suddenly got really close her nose inches from his own taking a deep breath he pushed unnecessary thoughts behind are you awake this caught nunk puzzlement sakuran I think I'd know if I were sleeping or not she sighed mentally slapping herself for thinking he wasn't as dense who's out Sensei what do you mean sakuran Kakashi Sensei taught us for a while he stopped again what was with him as slipping up damn it he'd be found out for sure he hadn't even talked to this about Kakashi yet he was still getting his bearings straight with this new life why did one conversations with Sakura have to mess it up the grin formed on Sakura's lips you should be careful who you let that slip to Naruto her hand came up towards his forehead and she playfully flicked himit good to see you Baka for a second Naruto just stared into her eyes it wasn't until another few seconds did he let himself smile sakuran he leaned forward and grabbed her in a hug normally Sakura would recoil and shove him back calling him some name but this time she let herself lean into him she let herself sigh and takeen his scent she let herself wrap her own arms around his torso and relax it felt good and it was hard to believe they were five burito pulled back a grin playing on his lips again so looks like everything worked out she nodded Kakashi saved aido San and renan he even went as far as to protect your parents she agreed nuto just turned back and watched as some of their friends raced around yeah he breathed it was silent between the two of them for a bit a comfortable one one that didn't cause an awkward pause or the need to speak just a relaxing silence well nuto huffed hopping Off the Bench I'm going to play tag he yelled running towards the group Al suit sakur AED after him not bothering to fix the red ribbon that was falling out of her hair wait up she peeped well this is a short chapter the reason is because I'm going camping so I'm letting you guys get a final update until around Saturday probably sorry but I'm going to enjoy my vacation D I'll update when I can so if I somehow get Wi-Fi up in the middle of nowhere I'll be sure to let you in on it thanks for reading guys loveer e chapter 8 so I was planning to ride a lot during our camping trip however I found myself lost outside as usual so sadly I didn't have much free time to write anyway I hope not to disappoint thanks for all the reviews and amazing support chapter 7 are dreams actually dreams or are they hopes for the future ideas for Better Lives love for to be lovers are they simply a wall that stands between reality and fantasy are they only our own limits our own desires yet if dreams are truly only walls that stand between what will happen when they fall this W will fall reality will be reborn our dreams actually possible lenado walked in the wake of the morning sun the clouds that had been Gathering along the horizon seemed to bring a peaceful warning of a coming storm it wasn't cold nor was it chilly but a humid Mist gave a cooling blast in the morning air its times as such that the Hokage of the village hidden in the leaves could think without second thoughts he was simply content with the answer that popped first but sadly much was on his mind and the wether wasn't making a difference the reason why his wife was following him and both had the same thoughts in their heads who was their son as painful it was to ask that question they asked it did they truly know their son or only a shadow of him who was Naro namus it hurt that they didn't know they were both headed towards the Hokage office to get the mission report from Kakashi ASAP normally it's Ren who runs it by but since Kakashi needed to answer some unanswered questions for them it seemed only logical to have him run it by was it bad that he was scared for the answers he'd bring and not the answers for the mission report was it bad that she was scared for the answers she'd hear and not because she didn't want to listen Thea held Emy In Her Arms the baby looked curiously about the village watching the early bird set up some stands and shops for the oncoming day some would wave she'd respond with raised brows some would say hello she'd respond with a cocked head the world was a mysterious place and she was still learning new things every second how easy life was when a baby how simply answers came lonado though much on his mind enjoyed the greetings and warm welcomes of others he slowed his pace so that kha was walking beside him as he let Em's hand wrap around his first finger he didn't have too much to worry about the village was at peace the day was beautiful Naruto was at home with AO keeping an eye on him everything was in order the only thing to dread was the coming future the coming conversation with Kakashi when they finally appeared at the office door they saw Kakashi waiting there hands in his pockets reading that stupid book Alo manado Sensei Kakashi stopped as he looked straight at kha silently slipping the book into his back pocket good to see you too he he said cautiously not sure what to make of kash's far off look normally she'd have his head pounded into the ground when she saw him with that book The Kashi manado greeted your mission reports will have to wait his reasoning was simple and for a second Kakashi was about to turn the other direction and walk off to do whatever with the rest of the day but when manado opened the door he briefly left it hanging as if to say follow me so Kakashi followed is there something wrong he asked casually not because he didn't care but because it was just the way he approach things lenado nodded as kha took a seat to the left of his desk we've got some questions he said Bashi nodded on the sensitive subject I assume has leaked to Ken here yes who is our son it was a demand something that caused the room to have a massive wave of Silence wash over them kha continued to stare at Kakashi expecting an answer Kakashi sighed it's not exactly a story I can tell not even nuto has told me everything about his journey Sakura probably knows more about 's life than i k nodded so it's true she whispered please Kakashi you've got to tell us something we can't just ask nuto about his previous life I know he may have lived before this life but he's still my 5-year-old boy to me she pleaded I understand kha I do I can tell you what I know but nut's life is his own I can't even begin to understand how much he struggled and I went through some serious [ __ ] he mumbled to himself lenado fur at his brows you keep saying that what do you mean when you say he's been the a lot he asked Bashi looked to manado you understand that he was the nine Tales gingeri after kashina right manado nodded kashen just seemed the listen Kakashi switched to look at kashen Naruto never truly met his parents in his previous life he was orphaned when the IUI escaped shortly after you gave birth to him a man attacked the village and both you and manado sacrificed yourself to save your son and to save the village Thea's eyes widened and EM looked wordlessly at Kakashi as if understanding understanding the intensity of the moment his whole life he was shunned hated abused the villagers couldn't see past the pleading boy he was and only saw the demon within he was merely a case for the wicked beast and nuto felt the wear and tear of it all much like you kha he was alone Academy students reflected their parents accent treated him like trash eventually he looked past and out the hokage's window he thought his parents abandoned him for the same reason he was simply a demon nothing less Nothing More Tears Could be seen Gathering in K's eyes as manado watched Kakashi speak with attention that almost broke the entire sanity of the room the smile graced Kakashi's face and his mask shifted ever so slightly his eyes lightened however he began he still lived through it all facing every day with unspoken hope no matter how many times the villagers would push him down he'd just get up and up again claiming he'd be Hokage shortly after he graduated from the academy being placed on my own team sasu Kina Sakura Haruno Naruto yamaki they had had their ups and down in teamwork always bickering always trying to show each other up Sask was the last of his clan after his brother massacred his entire Clan that's a story for another time but know that Itachi was always a good ninja a great one Kakashi took a long breath letting the Paw soakin before speaking again Naruto proved himself to the Village time and time again soon he was the hero of the Hidden Leaf known around the Shinobi World however soon there was no hidden Leaf after a long War there weren't many survivors but Sakura my myself and nuto were some of the few and that Kakashi looked up at them that's where we stand now in a new life one away from constant War Mimi made a noise one that seemed to ask for attention but it was unheard as kashina and manado both stared at Kakashi and he remembers it all kha asked Bashi Shrugged maybe I believe so because there are slight characteristic changes that I've recognized but nothing too crazy know this nuto may remember things from his previous life but he still knows you both as the loving parents you are and he's still your son Kakashi's words seemed to have soaked into the parents who sat in front of him I know kha sighed looking up at the selling it's just a little well it's hard to grasp the idea of you guys actually time traveling Bashi nodded it took me a while to get used to this life when I first awakened I'm sure in time nuto will get around to telling you guys Kakashi tried to comfort but he wondered if what he said was true Naruto normally tried to weasle his way out of many situations this one included maybe he should get together with Sakura and nuto and have a quick conversation the cashi manado trapped the Jan's attention how old was he when you traveled back he asked he was Kakashi thought for a bit 22 ladun's eyes widened then he's basically an adult now we can't really parent him Bashi shook his head nuto may have been an excellent Shinobi but he wasn't exactly academically excellent he still got a lot to learn even at the age he was when we left lenado nodded something told me he wasn't the wisest of the a smile made its way to his face as he glanced at the family photo on his desk Bashi let loose a light chuckle maybe not but his unpredictable ways seemed to always make up for it BOS Naruto yelled running down the path to the park I bet you can't beat me goggles Naruto yelled to aido who watched him used aido sighed Naruto had called him goggles ever since he'd seen the picture of him as a jenin you know narudo I have a name Nordo laughed no du goggles everyone's got a name Theo again sigh yeah he said reluctantly letun just get to the park it's a race Naruto vowed running ahead abido who had no worries and planned to surprise the blonde munchkin by getting there in his super ninja speed casually ran after him he would be able to make up for the slow paced run when they were almost there they had gone through a small crowd when aido emerged he found the blonde devil wasn't running in front of him anymore Amit where' he go abido thought looking side to side getting a little nervous he decided to pick up up the pace he wasn't taken was he no Naruto would have made enough noise to wake Snorlax stupid video games he cursed as he looked for Naruto he shook his head and focused on getting to the park making quick time he appeared at the steps of the park that led to the playground swings and benches Naruto he asked looking around he heard a small foxy laugh behind him he spun around looking nuto straight in the eyes wah slow poke Naruto pointed a finger to aido and then placing his hands behind his head in a casual manner abido just stared at nuto with a curious and stunned face how on Earth did you get away from me he asked nuto Shrugged hokage's son beginners luck maybe I'm just that awesome Bido shook his head this kid may just be the end of him decided to leave it be he turned to walk to the bench go have fun kid nuto ran off to play with the other kids in the park as aido sat down and watched it had been a while since aido sat in this park in fact he rarely watched nuto it was range for Kakashi to give the mission report and with Rin working extra in the hospital he found himself almost wanting to watch the little squir he saw Nudo run clumsily up to a bubble gun haired girl both exchanging some words before bolting off with ar rest he smiled remembering days when he Ren and Kakashi would run off without a care in the world he was a lucky man normally ninjas didn't even live this long let alone actually have all their friends and family survive even Kakashi's father's still alive and kicking ready to fight and defend koha here he sat a boyfriend to a childhood crush a brother to a teammate and a student of a hero he briefly wondered what the Next Generation would be like what they would suffer or what they would fight through whenever the day May Come however he was eagerly going to watch it grow there's the end of this chapter and end of season 1 so to speak I'm going to be putting team seven on again and everything will change or stay the same depending on whatever I guess anyway thanks for reading guys and I'm so sorry it took so long to update loveer chapter 9 pel back again and ready to up the date they'll be moving on and graduating from the academy in this chapter let it rip chapter 8 no escaping nowhere just Brokenness images hate fire the walls loomed above the roof cowered at the height evil lurked in the flames and hate was Hur in the seeping air gasping heat and tearing flicks rushed past to the center of the storm morning moans hummed and floated in the air nuto huh Naruto what's going on where am I Naruto you've got some nerve The Voice bellowed and echoed in the chaos that surrounded him he looked but saw no one he blinked but nothing changed what was going on who's there he asked it wasn't desperate but it was curious Naruto was a curious boy after all he looked down at his hands to find them larger than her remembered changing his glance to his clothing he realized he wasn't in wear of anything self-consciousness could have kicked in but it was as if he didn't care his body glowed in a way he wasn't used to and his fingertips felt tingly what's going on ghoul you just had to take us both didn't you the voice mumbled God damn it all you do is gripe I'm sick of it another voice snapped back just because you switched hosts doesn't mean you have to go ahead and cry about it for five godamn years Aro recognized the voice but he couldn't place it his hands reflexively went to his stomach squeezing what he expected to be the small chub from being a 12-year-old but none was there he looked at his stomach eyes widening my my old body he looked up to see everything suddenly vanish and replaced with two cages one Chained and another Loosely sealed IUI he looked up wondering what was going on are you came back with me he asked a small smile tugging at his lips ha rad I'm surprised you thought you could get rid of me that easily going back in time and into another dimension W get rid of me he grinned not evil but a foxy one arudo nodded good to see you again caoi and here I am watching this as if everything's all right get me out out of here BR I swear I'll tear you apart the darkness in the chain cage surprised him and it wasn't until he got a closer look did he see another lone red blazing eye you're a fool namus your mother was no less The Voice hissed nuto furro his brows another caoi fool you will call me moku caoi the other side Naruto meet my roommate roommate I am a Demon Lord as are you I can't believe you would actually sink so low as to interact with with him he ranted so you're my mom's caoi nuto face faulted damn my mom actually dealt with you you're one big Naruto Naruto stopped and looked at the caoi he knew a slightly lighter coat pleased him and knowing that he could tell them apart besides their attitudes Youk make him even more pissy caoi complained yeah sure Naruto sighed looking to his furry friend's counterpart so I guess I'll call you moku Chan he grinned shoving his hands into his pockets only to realize he was without clothes a why am I like this I'm glowing and I'm completely new the hell is with this I'm even in my old body IUI sigh Naruto your body chakra of your old being somehow reserved it to save myself as well as your life chakra that would result in your remembering your old life when you were five caoi leaned further his eyes closing normally I would have traveled back with you but due to the seal your idiot father left on here I was stuck to the other timeline however your chakra somehow took my own before completely leaving the dimension and saved me into another seal Theo nodded seems like I do that that last day was pretty fuzzy I barely remember preforming the Jutsu that doesn't explain me being nude and glowing though Brad you're using your old body's chakra now your mental age is what your chakra is forming therefore you're your older body moku griped arudo rolled his eyes obviously why didn't I know that he said sarcastically why you stop your bickering you're both fools and you're both annoying caou beheld Naruto I didn't call you here to argue with him I called you here because with him here as well it channels both of our chakra into you Theo tilted his head so is that bad that just means I'm twice as powerful no no it doesn't if you use our chakra at the same time it has a higher risk of taking over your entire being and mind nunk eyes seemed to focus on nothing in particular so I don't use your chakra anymore he asked rubbing the back of his head and thought no you just need to take it in small amounts make sure nothing goes wrong stop coddling him once he dies I'll finally have a minute of damn peace moku mumbled idiot don't you know if he dies we die caoi whipped his head towards his counterparts Cage death seems better than being a host well I'd rather not watch a war go off between demon foxes so I'll just be on my way Naruto shook his head I'll remember what you said caoi thank you no problem kid Naruto opened his eyes to see his bedroom light Shinning in his eyes his mom must have tried to wake him up and from the looks of it it didn't work he groaned and sat up throwing his feet over the edge of his bed and walking over to the bathroom the normal routine go to the bathroom brush teeth get dressed shove head under water so it looked like he took a show squeezed the air of the shampoo bottle on his shirt so he smelled clean shaking his already drying hair he walked out to the kitchen where his mom was cooking breakfast or that's what he thought he walked to the counter and found some cold eggs and toast prepared on a platter aside from that a note from his mother nuto I am out with your sister shopping early this morning since see me needed new clothes for the last day of school wek be back soon enough to walk you unless you have other plans much love Mom he laughed at her normality in the letter normally since his mother was not a morning person she would make breakfast and almost fall asleep while eating it and make someone else go shopping or whatever maybe em bribed her he mentally cringed I wouldn't put it past her Emy had the brains of their dad and the manipulation skills of their mom a deadly combination she was clever thought of a comeback like a whip and she wasn't scared to show off her skills many times he found himself jealous but he didn't let it get past that he smiled family was his life and his life was family he looked back to the plate of cold food and shook his head cold eggs and toast was horrible he took the plate and disposed of its contents in the trash as he made his way to the door Sask was a morning person maybe he was out training somewhere they had performed the genen and tests yesterday today they were only going to get their headbands and certificate making sure he was in his correct attire he left the house house he no longer wore bright orange his mother wasn't necessarily against it and neither was his father but they both suggested he wear more Ninja appropriate clothing he now wore a hard chest plate likee cover over a black T-shirt the cover was much like an amboo Black hop vest but it only had one strap that went diagonal over his shoulder and connected to the opposite side of the lower back of course he needed something orange so he settled on having an orange leaf design on the front of the plate it was lightweight and the padding inside made it quite comfortable his pants were a Tanish khaki and two large pockets on each side under both of his weapon pouches yep two weapon pouches his father was the same being able to use both hands in battle and normal skill for a ninja but when you had both weapon pouches it suggested that you could skillfully use both hands both he and his sister worked hard on obtaining this skill and nuto was proud of it he found his body learning quicker than it did in his past life and that may have to do with the fact that he already went through it but it was hard to understand some things still as if his body just forgot either way he was excelling after all that's what it took to be Hokage no he grinned as he quickened his Pace towards the training grounds in the wood zuk and Itachi commonly used knowing he could run and be able to make it in less than a minute he began a steady jog too tired to really run besides Sask may not even be there the fft sas's always training he thought he enjoyed this innocent Sask the one who knew love and understood struggles gain his father stopped the a massacre before danzo was even ble to bring it to the council Itachi still thought like a Hokage but his need to be a hero was dulled in the peaceful lifestyle they seemed to all have adapted to before Naruto even made it to the training field he heard clinks and clanks of kunai hitting the ground he could hear the thunks of many getting into the tree some whizzing by making sure the sound subsided instead of charging in and getting impaled he casually walked where he could send sasukes chakra sasuko called making sure he wasn't mistaken over here he heard a tired sigh Naruto walked walk through some brush and around some trees to find Sask sprawled out on the ground of the forest gez Sask you're overdoing it I heard those last shots you only got 10 kunai in the tree you can normally hit at least 20 he didn't mean any sarcasm in the comment he was completely serious about what he said so he was confused when Sask laughed at least 20 the AA sighed you know my father still keeps saying that Itachi is going to carry out this clan to the peak he's going to lead the AA into greatness he said despite their quarreling every now and then he trusts him with his life Sask looked up to his friend and here I am able to hit kunai to a tree nut's eyebrows fured Sask your dad's just as proud of you you know does he brag about Itachi when Itachi's actually around he asked shoving his hands into his pockets casually sasuko sighed shaking his head and sitting up but when heun's not around he's a god rudo nodded maybe he Praises you when you're not around after all you wouldn't know no Sask Shrugged when did you get all wise huh he asked as he stood up and brushed his pants off punching his arm playfully he rolled his eyes and when you'd get all emo a wait never mind shut up dop they didn't separate the distance between them however as they began their track to their last day at the Academy Naruto swung his arms behind his head as sassu tucked his into his pockets they made casual conversation as villagers began to open their stands and greet the H's son and the young a a voice called behind them and before either one of the boys turned their head they knew who it was hey Sakura Chan Naruto called waving an energetic hand to Sakura she waved back with just as much Gusto as she approached the boys hey guys she smiled wow nuto you're up early what happened this morning she asked a playful and teasing smile on her face nut's mind flashed to his dream but he pushed the thought away I guess I was just excited he brushed her comment aside zakura finding this attitude quite strange for her blond-headed friend she marked his in her mind in the ask Naruto question later section walking besides them she looked to Sask you think wek end up being on the same team she asked casual enough to not suspect anything Sask laughed and why would the Hokage do that the two top students and the smartest one yeah and then leave all the weaklings for the rest I suppose sasu Cas making Sakura burrow her brows and stick her tongue out at him you know tongues are meant to be inside your mouth he glanced at her she rolled her eyes getting in Pace with n did Kakashi say anything to you she whispered Naruto shook his head like always nope Sakura sighed why must he be so I don't even know how to describe it lazy annoying avoiding perverted you know what Kakashi's just Kakashi Naruto reasoned out loud their Whispers raising into laughs and Giggles to which sasu looked squarely at them you two are weird so it said up yeah you'll be training Nudo Sask and Sakura and you're sure it's fair I mean they're the highest in the class Bashi manado side we've gone over this if you truly believe that they are a team worth forming then I fully trust you why are you now having doubts about this manado sat against his desk and looked sideways at Kakashi the J and looked away bad memories I guess he sighed and stood straight nodding respectfully I'll get ready to meet them I suppose lenado nodded yes they're almost done at school you're going to be late Kakashi if you don't hurry Kashi chuckled you know me I take my sweet time lado rolled his eyes I know and that's what worries me my son better not pick up those habits he warned an eyebrow arched Bashi put his hands up in defense well considering I was his Squad Captain his entire past life I don't expect any more of me to rub off on him he said lenado nodded of course now he took a breath go on then hi and with that Kakashi disappeared to start team seven off again hopefully on a better path this time around I think this may be a shorter chapter I'm not sure anyway I hope you enjoyed soon I'll be getting missions I'll be showing enemies and more lisher e chapter 10 seems I'm procrastinating as of late my apologies for late updates again here's the next update action's going to start chapter 9 in the outskirts of koha there is wildlife that ceases to amaze few who walk by it the walls that stretch tall over the Evergreens and large Oaks let their Shadow linger in the beating Sun clouds cool the blaze of the day the breeze brings life to every Frozen moment as the buildings stand and villagers bustle about their usual day it's hard to find a sore thumb in such a unique crowd and yet there was one walking his attire was unusual it was a white cloak with a black and intricate design that swirled to the bottom near his dark boots he wore a Loosely tied mask somewhat like a scarf and a white headband with no symbol his clothing was light but it flopped over his body in a way ninja never enjoyed yet he walked like a Shinobi he held his weight like one he made his way past some bunches of crowds and forced his head downwards not looking up His Hands Held to his side gloved and covered he stopped glancing upward for a moment to find the koha academy standing there right in front of him his hands lifted as he preformed signs fingers crossed thumbs straight Palms firm and then suddenly gone his figure disappeared as if he never walked the grounds and the villagers moved on without seeming to realize his absence aruka appeared in the doorway of his classroom his face unreadable but as soon as the click was heard when his hand turned the knob he GED smile and walked inside okay class as I'm sure you already know today will be your last day at the Academy he smiled cheers erupted in the classroom as he looked down at his paper now let me read off some team names nuto nudged Sask I bet we'll be on the same team he whispered earning a lose of curiosity from the AA ah like that would happen Sakura leaned over in their conversation and gave a knowing look to nuto who in return winked I bet oh well you have to take me out to Raymond if I'm right W you say Sask the blonde asked enthusiastically his hands perched on the nape of his neck and his eyes burned in determination at his friend he was really craving Raymond today sasuki if it'll get you to stop fidgeting he smirked you have to buy me my ninja gear if you're wrong e Naruto replied almost instantly Sask again glanced at him in his sideways View and gave a look of curiosity to Sakura who normally could tell what the weirdo was thinking however he was disappointed to find her not paying attention to their bed and playing with a spare sheet of paper on her desk he looked back to Nudo and poked him in the armoi what do you have planned dope Nudo clicked his tongue name calling isn't nice Sask common I know you have something up here deam seven Narito namus their conversation stopped Sakura Haruno sasu gulped and sasu kacha and there goes his allowance nuto fist pumped with Sakura and gave the foxy grin to Sask you heard that clearly right Sask looks like you're treating us what us as I do not remember agreeing to pay for Sakura Sask said pushing his eyebrows together arudo gave an innocent look oops I must have forgotten you don't mind right Sask he played batting his eyelashes in a quite gayish manner in a moment Sask had stood up and moved to the desk in the back trying to make a point The Laughing between nuto and Sakura however didn't stop as aruka continued to call teams and names the class was slowly falling silent again as he announced the last team class he began go to the assigned spot I announced with your team and you'll meet your squad leader there sasu cised his hand but quickly put it down again both nuto and Sakura were relaxed in their chairs having a dull conversation maybe Sask missed the cue that they were waiting in the classroom because aruka 2o left without another word minutes passed and teams could be seen leaving the academy though the classroom window they sat in where the hell is he SAS muttered Nudo Shrugged turning around to face him probably late no du sasu furred his brow but he's a Jan Jan shouldn't be late the AA clasped his hands together and lowed his head to the desk some Ninja we get for a squad leader takur aside you have no idea she whispered exchanging a look with Naruto before both gave a short laugh I'm sure he'll be here Sask well he better come quickly the door opened and their voices fell silent honestly Naruto wasn't sure if Kakashi would be able to convince his father to assign them all together abido AA was supposed to train so that he could get training with the Sharingan but since they were waiting for a while it was pretty obvious it' be Kakashi hopefully not that there was anything wrong with AO but Kakashi had been there Sensei for years yo a dull voice rang through the silence that raged in the room sorry I'm late Bashi entered the room looking at the three students that sat down Sask who seemed to be the same Sakura who was no longer scolding nuto and nuto who no longer needed too much scolding they' grown up sasu gave a tired sigh I hn I'm a little bit surprised Sensei you're a tad bit early Sakura said as Kakashi signed them to get up and follow him as serious as Sakura was sasu took it as sarcasm you guys know where the rooftop access is Kakashi asked getting his hand signs ready when they all nodded Sask with a confused face he poofed away leaving the genant standing there rooftop access what are we meeting on the roof however the only thing that responded was the clacking shoes of Sakura and nuto running down the hall hey wait up when they had reached the roof Kakashi was already sitting down with a book pulled out took you long enough we ran the whole way Kakashi Naruto shook his fist in the air threateningly it went unnoticed however when Kakashi asked them to sit down now you know the Dr Kakashi drawled sassu crazed an eyebrow what drill I name dreams hopes for the future Favorite Things and whatever you think we need to know I'll start Naruto grinned I like Raymond and I enjoy training with my dad my my dream is to become a good Hokage that will protect the village I guess my hopes for the future is to have a family of my own settle down and all and then that's about it sasu clued him funny you don't know your own name what the blonde asked dumbly your name you didn't say your name dope but an eye roll Naruto announced Naruto namus is the name enthusiasm I like it Kakashi said with a fake eye smile note the sarcasm Sakura said Dry I'm Sakura Haruno and unlike Naruto I actually Know My Name a you guys are mean I enjoy medical Ninjutsu my dream is to become the greatest medical kenoi and my hopes for the future is to have a calm peaceful life I suppose a family could fit into that she thought out loud my favorite thing is spending time with friends she said after a few moments Bashi nodded seems good enough he ignored the pestering glare from the pink-headed jenin and turned to Sask your turn Sask Sask nodded I train with my dad and my brother my host is to become a strong ninja and redeem my clan my dream is he looked towards the Hokage Monument becoming Hokage the strongest yet and Lead this Village into a new year bhi's eyes widened and looked in awe at the AA in front of him some dream compared to the last Guk Naro game him a dead look way to ruin my dream of course similar thoughts to Kakashi were running through nutk mind his friend had truly been redeemed Bashi smiled now how about the test it was early but since Kakashi knew they would pass anyway he didn't want to waste much time test Sakura played along trying to hide her Amusement Bashi playing along put a thoughtful finger to his chin oh you don't know you guys aren't Jenning yet but sassu cloaked at Kakashi with suspicion we graduated from the academy well you see the academy is for sorting the Hopeless students from the weaklings he grinned his eyes squinting in an unreadable manner this test will sort the weaklings from the okay ones he explained getting a book from his pouch whenever you guys are ready ready Nudo who was now standing up and to sas's Amazement taking this hole not being genen in yet pretty well placed his hands in his pockets rules Sensei the Oho innocent nuto asked Bashi knocked the side of his head the fake smile still unnaturally plastered to his face oh it must have slipped my mind Sask face faulted Am I Dreaming this seems pretty lame his thoughts were halted however when he heard a ringing coming from Kakashi's waist these bells each of you has to get one there was silence as Kakashi watched his three students he waited and waited and waited there's only two Bells Sask said dumbly not really wanting to be the one to speak up however his two idiot teammates must have not noticed then one of you will go back to the academy no and if you're not prepared to kill me you won't get the bells Kakashi looked up at them both eyes flickering between each student let's see who's got the skill here go all three flashed into the nearby brush and stayed quiet and low Naruto who had gotten into a tree to see the high ground Sakura who had found a cozy spot in between a fallen tree and some bushes and sasu who was crouched close enough to the battlefield to see and far enough to be out of sight Bashi waited in the center for a moment looking around giving a satisfied nod he couldn't see them nuto shuffled out of the tree and quietly made his way to Sask his feet barely making a sound however the AA turned around Naruto he whispered expectantly look I have an idea the blonde namk is squeezed under the bush and leaned down beside the proud Raven oh no sas's eyes widened this could be dangerous arudo rolled his eyes you know just because I'm a little Den saso snorted it doesn't mean I'm completely useless sasu just Shrugged so what's the plan he asked what's your brilliant idea Theo grinned all three of us go at him at once teamwork that's my plan he grabbed a kunai from his pouch and nodded towards where Sakura was craftily hiding sakuran good with chakra control and with the moves she's been practicing lately she should be able to get Kakashi off track well he's off track I'll use a basic wind Jutsu to push him towards sakur Chan's attack that's where you come in Naruto turned towards his friend you're the fastest here you run towards him while he's flustered and grab the two Els saso nodded he's Jing and Triant notf for distractions sasu said expertly how can we know he won't just use a replacement Jutsu we don't Naruto SED we just have to bank on the little hope that he thinks we're stupid Sask almost lost his balance in his crouched position on Earth would him thinking we retards actually help us he hissed making sure not to yell cause retards wouldn't go for distraction the blonde responded Sask again shook his head there has to be a better way to get around him that idea may work we need one that will work plus we've got time to think sasukes right a voice spoke behind them as they turned to see Sakura I've got a better plan one that will work there was a brief silence well what is it Naruto pushed obviously open for another plan zakura scrunched the IDE them and hunched her back to make sure she wasn't visible to the Jan I've set up a simple kunai trap on the other side it's aiming right for Kakashi Sensei she said both a and namk is still listening Naruto can you disguise yourself as a kunai Sakura questioned Naruto nodded and formed a hand sign without activating the Jutsu you and your Shadow clone meet to go to the other side you'll disguise yourself as a kunai and then let your clone throw at a Kakashi Sakura fur or brows if this trick works but trick nut asked turning back to Kakashi Just Another Second Sakura pushed herself to the ground duck she hissed both boys ducking almost instantly as a snap was heard from the other side of the clearing however nothing flew overhead just as I hoped Sakura smirked Kakashi had caught the kunai with his first finger it now hung Loosely from his hand as he continued to read the book sasu turned to look at her I get it you want nuto to turn into a kunai so Kakashi will catch it HEK grab the bells easily that way he said in a low tone but HEK be able to sense nuto easily the do doesn't know what lowering chakra even means sasu gave a frown that's where distractions come into view Sask you'll threw a fireball Jutsu at him first then I'll come in from behind Sakura explained nuto nodded understanding why Sakura would want Sask to go first Sask the one who hadn't come back in time with them would be the one who wouldn't know the true meaning behind this test so Kakashi shouldn't suspect anything from the proud it was brilliant about it Naruto grinned making sign sign and creating a shadow clone come on you know the drill he said to the Clone who nodded enthusiastically as they raced towards the other side of the clearing and Sakura saw the kunai fly though the air again and as Kakashi caught it again without lifting his eye she nudged sasu to run out with his Fireball Jutsu Sask stood racing out and quickly making the signs Fireball Jutsu he yelled huffing air out and creating the intense flames of the AA Clan zakura ran towards the other side and jumped out pumping chakra into her fists and letting it loose when she has grounded right behind Kakashi the Jan who followed sasukes movements easily just caught Sakura's attack and jumped up in the air swiftly Landing back down on the ground with a satisfied smile not quick enough guys but nice teamwork he nodded putting his book away I guess I'll save that for later he said actually a voice chirped behind him you can start reading again Kakashi Sensei Kakashi turned to see nuto holding Two Bells in his hand that foxy grin that he had almost all the time was plastered to his face as he jingled the bells in front of him guess who got the bells Naruto laughed bring his arm up to throw the bells to sasu and Sakura however in a small second Kakashi poofed away and reappeared behind nuto akuni held to his neck not you Kakashi said as the bells poofed away too tsk tsk you should have thought about that Naruto and to both Sakura and sas's amusement the blonde poofed away again this time akuni held to Kakashi's neck and nuto snatching the bells I did gez Kakashi have a little faith a tossing the bells to his teammates Naruto dropped the kunai and gave the fist pump to the air above him ha take that Kakashi Sensei looks like we beat you good he bragged prancing over to sasu and Sakura Bashi just watched the scene play out before him sure he had let them get the slip on him and he was perfectly fine with it this deem it would redeem their unlucky past with another large and satisfied smile Kakashi proudly announced you pass honestly I think this scene was weak but for all you readers I figured you didn't want to reread the Bell test so I just made it simple and to the point the next chapter will be a small time Skip and another transition with more characters as well as Emy D I haven't really included her I'm planning to just need to actually get her character in the works now so next chapter that'll hopefully happen anyway as usual thanks for reading guys I'll update when I can want to D loveer chapter 11 P again sorry for the late update s chapter 10 am stood in the bathroom staring at her reflection she wasn't looking at her red hair grown to her chin but put in a loose ponytail she wasn't looking at her shirt nor her shorts but her forehead and what was on it she gave a smile to the mirror I'm a ninja she whispered sticking her thumb to her forehead protect her it was truly a strange thought she had wanted to be a ninja her whole entire life she trained she learned she knew how to be a ninja and now that the fateful day finally came she couldn't help but feel nervous she ran her hands through her overhanging bangs for probably the hundredth time that morning she wasn't nervous to meet her team nor was she nervous to go on missions all of that was simple her family was the problem she had a lot to live up to her mother being the vicious and outgoing ninja she was and still is isn't someone you can just become with a few ninja tricks her father was the yellow Flash of the Hidden Leaf not to mention the Hokage you can't just say you're going to be great and then become great and her brother didn't count somehow he did everything he put his mind to he is one of the most strong Shinobi he has too many friends to count and he still seems to always have time for family the only thing he hadn't accomplished yet was one thing becoming Hokage though he had always said there was another dream that he may never accomplish of course he had never told a soul just what the dream was Naruto was walking though the village on his way to the hospital where Sakura Works she had signed up for the hospital as soon as she had her chew invest on her back and when they all became Jing she practically was handed the position of head of the hospital Sask was running the police business with his father his brother in the Ambu sasu had said he didn't want to join the Ambu and though Naruto saw many reasons not to always had picture Sask being a part of it maybe team seven changed him he hadn't gotten the curse mark arachim Mar never attacked them in the chew and exams he didn't need Revenge his clan was spared by their Hokage he wasn't cold he had a loving family to raise him right he wasn't selfish he had a team to share with his whole Ninja career arudo smiled at the memories they all shared they had a mission again the three of them like old times going with some new Jen and fresh from training of course that was in a few weeks before he noticed his hand was reaching for the hospital door opening it as he had done many times he slickly walked inside and was already heading up the stairs waving to a few people who sat in the waiting room he always avoided the desk the girls who would sit there would get him into hourong conversations that he was too nice to drop he snuck upstairs where his favorite Kino's office was his hand reached up for the door but before he even knocked the door was swung open revealing an urgent faed Sakura of all Sakura stumbled backwards somehow balancing the paper she held Naruto she looked up at her teammate and friend nuto gave her his famous smile a sakuran seems you're pretty busy a he said placing his hand behind his head not thinking to move out of the way from the door zakura nodded yeah Hospital's pretty busy lately nothing serious just some illness that's easy to fix but it seems all the nurses are Miss sing she squinted her eyes to glance around nuto and in the hall not even one person was seen she looked up at Naruto then checked the time on the clock in her office and I think I know why she sighed nuto was a popular guy with him being the hokage's son and his increasingly handsome looks as of late almost every girl was trying to impress him it was 3:00 about the time that nuto would always come into the hospital to check in on things normally just talk to Sakura but they seemed to never stay too long naturally the girls caught on to his daily routine and began to come to the waiting desk hoping to have a little conversation sad thing was Naruto was completely oblivious you know Naruto maybe you should start being more sneaky about your visits here Sakura brushed past him and began walking down the hall knowing he'd follow her what you don't like my visits Sakura Chan he asked a fake hurt tone in his voice with a playful shrug Sakura replied so what if I don't he rolled his eyes and caught in step with her well I could always visit Sask instead he began a Sly smile above his chin now slightly stubbled I mean sometimes heun reply to me he said jokingly Sask was never one for conversation even in this timeline zakura laughed well then looks like you've got your afternoons from here on planned she said turning around and walking backwards she stuck out her tongue so what actually brought you here nuto he raised a brow honestly he asked putting his hands into his pockets and watching her walk her nod only made him smile you he said I know that much I'm obviously so amazing that you must come visit me every day her playful tone was almost too noticeable anything else she continued Beginning to Look skeptical bero chuckled always the smarter one of the bunch I was wondering if you wanted to get something he said zakura remembered the time and her papers in her hand though none really seemed to matter well it's 3:00 which means we've already had lunch and dinner will come soon so what do you have in mind he Shrugged noting an upcoming object behind her maybe ice cream he tried flicking his eyes upward to see who it was only to stop in his tracks as Sakura bumped into it Sakura spun around just about to give whoever she bumped into a firm talking to only to find herself bowing her head and mumbling an apology sorry hokama she said glancing at nuto with a death glare I wasn't watching where I was going lonado gave a weak chuckle no no I should have stopped and moved after all I wasn't looking either he said putting the papers he held in his hands into his pocket I was actually looking for you nuto nuto gave up his silent apologies to the still bound girl beside him and looked to his father right now he asked somewhat of a whine lenado raised his eyebrows why was I interrupting anything he asked trying to seem innocent the look on his son's face told him yes but the look on sakuras told him she was about to G the blond airm beating maybe he should reschedule no he shouldn't besides it' be quick come on nuto it'll only be a minute Nudo sighed and looked at Sakura later he asked not caring about her glare she only pursed her lips and squinted glancing at her papers once more if I've got the time I'll find you she said it as if she wouldn't come but nuto knew better he nodded with another grin okay see you later then he said following his father down the hospital Halls when they reached his office in the Hokage Tower manado went to his desk sitting down without a sound his eyes were piercing as he stared into his sons tell me he began folding his hands in front of him tell me what you know about Madara nuto froze for a moment looking at his father nuto knew about Madara he knew him but not in this life what nuto asked trying to seem innocent Madara he was an enemy ninja killed by the first two stop the ACT Naruto manado continued to stare answer me this the Bold Hokage leaned forward as if he couldn't hear nuto if he spoke are you my son Nudo took a step back why yes he said of course I'm your son what type of question question is that nuto knew what his father was asking or he thought he knew he hadn't discussed the matters of going back in time he knew Kakashi had but only Kakashi Sakura nor he had spoken to the yellow Flash about their previous lives about themselves for a minute Naruto wanted to walk out the door but he knew this was his father and his piercing gaze was just that a gaze I am your son Naruto namus son of kashina uzamaki namz son of manado namz brother of IMI namz ninja of the hid Leaf lonado gave a nod letting loose a breath unheard by nuto but his lack shoulders didn't go unnoticed then answer my question son tell me what you know about Madara cha again nutk body went cold did his father know he was from the past Madara was unheard of he was just an old ninja someone who passed away dead by the hands of the First Hokage at least in this world Madar at chanaro side it's been a while since I heard that name since I spoke that name lonado kept his Gaze on his son so I've heard enough from Kakashi now it's time I hear the truth from you he closed his eyes Naruto nuto sat down in the chair across from his father well then how about I start from the beginning he said knowing there was no way to try and keep this act up any longer I the hidden Leaf's most unpredictable ninja nine-tailed fox gingeri hero of the Shinobi world he looked up his eyes glassy but not a sign of any tears with a scratchy voice and a tender heart he put up his fist sticking out his thumb Naruto use a it had been a while since he said that in a way it felt good it felt right but it wasn't who he was anymore true he was Naruto uzamaki but just as with age he grew out of the name when he entered this world he was Naruto namus damn it it didn't matter who he was it mattered who he is he knew his father knew this and he knew that he himself knew it too but then why why did it sting so much to say those words I see manado leaned back his gaze less intimidating and more of a welcoming curiosity I'm sorry I never spoke up about this matter before now no it's fine Dad after all I should have been the one to speak up about it nuto sigh ran his hands through his hair I haven't really tried to think much about my old life so forgive me if I'm a little tender around sharing it lenado nodded understandable but please I need to know about Madar nuto gave an unsure glance why is something happening yes and no you see just because you three came back in time it doesn't mean that Madara was banished from the Earth he is still out there he didn't die when he and the first fought what I'm getting at is why is he still hiding what is there to hide from aruto nodded yeah I've been doing some thinking myself he shouldn't know about us coming back in time so I don't understand why he hasn't done the things he's done or will do I guess with a frustrated sigh Naruto continued honestly I've been trying to forget about him and the rest of our enemies completely thinking that maybe just maybe their ghosts won't haunt me I get it and I know that asking you this is probably only digging up dirt that's already been dug up but maybe we missed something manado let his hands unfold and crossed his arms leaning back more in his chair perhaps he's already played his move we just don't see it yet but don't you think we would have heard something by now I mean it's been 17 years since this whole thing happened technically 12 if you only count my memory but still why is he being so sneaky about it in fact why is he playing different cards this time around nuto asked himself but manado was listening what was his first B move in your timeline the Hokage asked professional and serious Ludo stopped to think for a bit and when he looked up he avoided his father's gaze the night I was born October 10 when caoi attacked lonado took in a deep breath then let it go nothing happened when you were born except for my hand being broken manado winced at the memory of his wife's crushing grip maybe I'm just overthinking this but perhaps he's got someone inside koha someone with eyes to watch another nod came from the younger BL blond probably but we can't assume everyone's a spy it'll tear this Village apart right we'll look for Unique Behavior manado stood up besides guy and Lee baruto gave out a small chuckle yeah keep an eye out and when you're on your mission next week look for any signs of anything suspicious I can't help but have a bad healing manado put out his hand to shake his sons same but we've made it this far haven't we Naruto grinned and met his father's grasp with a firm Shake sorry to make this so sudden and I know I'm cutting this conversation short but I'm sure you'll come to me in time if you want to listen Nudo just because you're from another timeline doesn't mean I'm not your father nuto nodded standing up to meet his father's height right and remember this I'm still your son always you've got to be kidding me em groaned looking at her two teammates there's no way I got stuck with you guys besid her were kohu serat toi and shin koku both looked at her with peeved faces but obviously more mad at each other than words their arms were crossed over eyes blazing and teeth bearing you've got to be joking there's no way I'm stuck with you Shin you're practically a bug under my foot kohk face shoved in front of shins in reaction shins dark brown eyes narrowed as if grandbaby Hokage you're just jealous that you aren't as strong as I am and now you're going to have to follow whatever I say Shin stuck his nose in the air Turning Away From The Irate kohu Mimi sighed placing her Palm over her forehead you guys know this is a team right that means that we need to work together even our squad leader who's a Jon won't be constantly bossing us around he's just part of the team so you guys should shape up before you break up she ordered getting her hands dirty and pushing them away from one another the noera nodded I would be fine with being a team but I'm not fine with working with without that thing he yelled pointing to Shin but I'd be fine working as a team too koham araka but obviously you both need a whack in the head e hissed pulling them apart once more now both of you should quiet up and wait for our Sensei to so this is who I've got as a team there was a click of the door closing and footsteps walking into the room that they were asked to wait in interesting the man before them was tall he had strangely colored hair a grayish blue and his eyes were a piercing black I'm kiritachi numia your squad leader and Sensei he looked at the for a moment longer letting the silent stares linger it seems you know each other well enough I'm sure introductions are unneeded we'll meet outside of the schoolyard tomorrow morning at 9:00 Bei let go of her new teammates and tried to say something to their new squad leader but he was already walking out the door wait the door shut and the room fell silent outside the door kiritachi shoved his hands in his pockets remembering his earlier conversation with the Hokage flash back as Hokage I'm ordering you to take care of your team no matter the cost and I'm asking as a father that you teach my daughter well manato was sitting in his chair a smiling gracing his face as he spoke kitachi nodded of course hokaj Zama I wouldn't dream of failing them and I'll be sure to protect your daughter I was planning on having aido CH lead the squad but seeing as he's going to start a family of his own it'd be unfair to ask him this I'm sure he agrees manado stood up a serious face plastered over thank you kiritachi your work will be beneficial I'm sure of it kiritachi smiled I should be thanking you hokaj Sama it's an honor to teach your kin he stood up and walked to the door bidding his goodbyes to the Hokage as the door closed he lifted his sleeve damn it he cursed black markings were growing along his arm twisting and turning in an unpleasant pattern a lime green chakra leaking from the seal suddenly his surroundings changed and a masked man was standing before him I'm glad you're so trusted the man looked up pricing red eyes blazing through the holes of the face covering youi and my life Belongs to You Madara he said kneeling down his eyes were piercing the ground and his fists held tight to his clothes and to flashback his eyes closed and his feet froze as his arm lifted to cover his face I'm a traitor until next time guys please let me know what you thought or if I miss something that's important lisher chapter 12 before I start I'd just like to say that I completely agree with Tara did I spell that right you had mentioned that it's highly unlikely that manado would wait so long to approach Naruto about his past it was hard for me to decide if I should Rush another chapter or carry on and get to the main plot line leading to my planned ending so I chose to move on even if it was unlikely that manado would wait that long I've got a little plan to override that factor you'll probably see it soon but I'm not positive on how long or how many chapters this Mission will be anyway I was just saying to clear that up it was an immature move and it was stupid to do but I did it P chapter 11 saso knew about the mission months before they were going it was a simple Mission just showing the Jen and around the outskirts of koha and other close by Villages but it troubled him still why send three J and on the mission at first he thought that since em was on the mission as one of her first then the Hokage was only trying to protect her of course it' be wrong to assume so nuto didn't get any special treatment from his parents when becoming a ninja and for good reason he's strong because he had to figure out his own way even though he seemed to catch on quickly to things a little too quickly sassu thought shoving his hands into his pockets his team was quite strange at times referencing to things he didn't understand to things no one understood however being on the team for 5 years benefited his side of things he could understand some of their talks and they had formed their own team language one that he was included in not that they ever excluded him the mission was today and he was already on his way to the gate to meet everyone there Naruto Sakura himself and team three em Squad Sask was honestly shocked at monado's choice and sense for his daughter I mean he would be training very important people first the grandson of the third Hokage and the daughter of the fourth and the the future leader of the koku clan the koku clan is new to koha they used to be Hunter ninjas in the forests and had small settlements here and there but soon they migrated to koha and became citizens and ninjas to the village that was around 11 years ago but why would manado choose such a shaded character to lead the team kiritachi numia sasu pondered the name he had been in the village for his whole life but no one knew of his childhood and from sas's observations he didn't have many friends only acquaintances he was a powerful Ninja talented in many forms of ninjutsu T Jutsu and jinjutsu the even was familiar with the older ways of the Ninja a fine J and of the Hidden Leaf but that's all sasu trusted him as a ninja not a leader he didn't want to disrespect the hokage's choice but something just didn't tick right about kiritachi a Sask sasu turned to find nuto running up to him Sakura at his heels you ready for the mission sasu grunted I wouldn't be going to the Village Gate if I wasn't now would I he said shoving his hands into his pockets nuto only waved him off yeah ya geez nuto wait up will you a voice was heard from inside the crowd behind him when they turned around they found Emy pushing her way through the crowd and many apologies from the villagers when she reached them her face scrunched up as she positioned her hands on her hips such a big brother you are she sighed Nudo gave a sheepish grin a well I saw SAS so I wanted to catch up Bei rolled her eyes mhm well mom told you to walk me to the gate last I checked leaving a girl alone in koha around a bunch of people just before a mission well that isn't very smart an evil gleam caught in the young girl's eye you wouldn't want that information too I don't know slip to Mom would you arudo stuttered back a few steps Sweat Beads laying on his forehead you you wouldn't dare if Mom knew I didn't keep my eye on you for a single second she'd flip I'd be the main course for in her waving his hands rapidly in front of him nuto looked at his friends for help don't get me into this sasu turned and began to walk away Sakura only sighed and shook her head following the AA some teammates you guys are Naruto called about to run off to them only to remember Emy was right beside him he sighed come on Emy he turned to give her a smile are you excited for your first mission outside the gates Bei nodded flashing a familiar grin yeah the moment those words left her mouth Naruto hoisted her up and over his one shoulder slinging her around playfully gez sis I don't know how you're a ninja I didn't even sneak up on you and I've still successfully captured you nuto laughed as he ran through the rest of the crowd bolting to the main gate no fair you're like way stronger it' be impossible for me to even get a hit on you she complained bumping her fists on his back knowing he was only being playful when she felt him stop running she squirmed over his shoulder landing on the ground gracefully with a reluctant sigh she smacked his chest and joined her teammates who were watching Sakura and sasu were right behind them dude to Naruto passing them up as he gleefully ran to the gates his sister hoisted so you're the famous Naruto namk is a kohu said stepping up squinting at the blond well I wouldn't say famous Naruto scratched the back of his head but you got the name right Deja Vu struck him like a punch to the gut the hardest thing about living in a new timeline is that you have to abide to its rules if something didn't play out the way it had before you have to go along with it but the huge changes they made it would almost be horrific if they changed even more the reality in the old world and this one was something they needed to keep hold of and noeru snickered so you're humble too huh he put his hand out giving a lopsided smile the names kohu Cobi future fif Hokage nuto dead panned but shook his hand anyway you plan to succeed my dad he said amused that may be a little tricky theat toi raised a single brow why is that boss nuto shook his head boss already a you must be even cooler now than you were back then Naruto snickered mentally he was about to open his mouth to answer but was interrupted he plans to be Hokage himself smart one em had placed her hands on her hips not in a bratty fashion but just of placement laughter Was Heard behind her good luck koham Maraka I doubt Youk pass him up Shin smirked walking towards him not after I beat you up not in your life koham was just about ready to pounce on him but Sakura's voice cut in well everyone's here she said despite kohk threat to make this Mission with one less member what about kiritachi Sensei he asked looking around I've been here the whole time kiritachi emerged from behind a tree handing the scroll to Sakura I've reviewed the details of the mission but I let you hold it Sakura face faulted how gentlemanly of you she said sarcastically only earning a shrug from the man she reluctantly tucked the scroll in her ninja pouch already knowing the details of the mission nuto she asked turning to the blonde buts up sakuran he looked towards her ready to listen since you're the bronze of this team what about gold he flirted you're going to be near the front with me Sask will take the back listening for anything suspicious team three you'll take the middle Sakura pointed ahead now let's get going sasu gave her a look who said you were team leader Naruto shoved his hand in the air like a child I do zakura shook her head amused flattery will get you nowhere n i KS she teased waving a single digit you know since my sister's on this trip you could be talking about her no saaku Anne he said his eyes raed in a suggestive Manner and he was about to continue until a voice behind them pipped up I don't flirt with older women Baka Emy yelled throwing a fist in the air Naruto gave a quick glance a beat of sweat running down and then immediately looked back ahead Sask had already gotten into the back of the group Naruto and Sakura in front team three in between you're not scared of your little sister are you Sakura asked innocently looking back at the group then to narudo when she's mad he began lowering his voice into a whisper she's not human his statement was most likely a joke most likely but Sakura found his frightened face was quite convincing she knew of 's temper rivaling her mothers and yet she had yet to face it herself say Naruto Sakura began looking towards her friend you know what this mission is right yeah yeah it's a simple Mission we're going to check on the land of the waves make sure things are going okay with our treaty and then coming back he looked towards her with his signature grin am I missing anything zakura shook her head no that covers just about all of it she took a sharp breath listen about that ice cream we never got she placed her hands in her Pockets fumbling around inside yeah letun get some when we're back he asked a kind smile gracing his features Sakura nodded yeah she returned the gesture Just the Two of Us yeah wek set up here kiritachi said setting his things on the ground this seems like a peaceful enough spot Theo nodded in agreement setting his things down as well near a tall oak tree they were in a clearing somewhere foolish for Ninja to camp but Naro couldn't deny the beautiful weather besides what could go wrong there were four Ninja here that are skilled enough they be in the ambo after all Naruto could hear a running River somewhere nearby so he Shrugged off his jacket and hung it over his belongings I'm going to go to the river up there anyone want to join me he asked turning around to face the team saso shook his head already tending to a campfire instead of cooling off now I'm getting everything ready so we can be warm in the night nuto face dropped every party needs a pooper that's why they invited you party pooper that's why oh you he joked singing slightly offkey saak Rich Anne want to join me he asked noticing she had stood up and taken her jacket off as well I don't see why not she Shrugged hey we're coming too kohu jumped at the opportunity however kiritachi had already grabbed him by the collar shaking his head ah kohu you've got training to do the Jan said matter of factly yeah and since when did you decide what we all do em asked raising her eyebrows I don't remember agreeing to swim e you up first kiritachi gave a fake grin do you know how to climb a tree arudo and Sakura took the que to leave they walked side by side closer than friends but farther than lovers it was strange as their hands swayed side by side in opposite motion almost daring to touch their feet seemed to sway peacefully at every lift of every step their motions perfectly in sync their voices were soft but not in Whispers in spirit it was a kind and peaceful conversation Nudo Sakura asked turning to face him H have you ever wondered what happened in our old world you know after we left she said a worried face being masked what if by leaving we left them to face the new problems the new threats all of it alone her hands folded to her chest and the peaceful mood was swept from underneath them nuto shook his head I've stayed up many nights wondering the same thing wondering if we left them to die wondering if there even still alive I mean we're technically 35 years old that would mean they've probably settled down had kids started new hes Sakura sighed remorse inking slowly inside of her mind what did we miss by leaving that old life behind she asked again Naruto shook his head but this time more fiercely we didn't miss anything sakuran wek be able to see it all in this life and our real life he corrected stopping in his tracks to face her nuto she blinked away unwanted tears she had always cried too easily anyway that old world our old home that was real too you know she said reaching out to touch his shoulder he nodded but this is our life now wek get to see everything wek see families friends everyone wek grow old and die together he vowed that's a promise of a lifetime okay she whispered okay I'll accept that one she smiled leaning in and embracing him but let's make sure it's kept together not just you a laugh was heard in her throat as nutk hands slowly came up resting across her back because this time I'm not leaving your side she said with the utmost confidence to keep that statement true without second thought Naruto buried his nose into the nape of a neck an intimate act for friends but it was accepted by the cherry blossom kenoi her hands moved to cup his face as she pulled apart giving him a tender smile his face leaned closer to hers only for him to pull back again not daring to ruin the moment with selfish desires he watched as her eyes flicked from his blue ones back and forth he too had let his eyes Wonder her face her soft cheeks her gentle skin her pink lips and her eyes her bright green eyes troop Beauty so she interrupted his thoughts taking a step back but remaining close where's that River sassu continued to set up camp or watched the Jen and set up camp they had been instructed after practicing chakra control for climbing trees to set up the three tents one for the jenin another for Sakura and the other for kiritachi Naruto and himself had agreed to take watch the first night after all even though this was a low-key Mission it still was serious missions were always serious he watched the Flames lick the Untouchable sky above and then falling back down into a dim glow with a careful mind he laid his hand in the flame catching fire with his chakra he pulled out his hand revealing a soft flickering torch whipping in small Breeze as he furrowed his eyebrows in concentration he pushed chakra into the flame making it go bright white with intense heat Sask Sask turned to see kiritachi standing near a tree have you ever thought about time travel he asked and out of the blue question for the AA sasu crazed a suspicious brow it's impossible irrational why kitashi Shrugged I suppose curiosity something I'm fond of SAS nodded well I assume you have judging the fact you just asked me the man nodded indeed I have it don't get me wrong but sometimes I'd like to go back and time myself Sask looked questionably at him why is that your life seems pretty simple easy enough he let the flame in his hand go dispersing the heat in the air you're a high class ninja a proud Shinobi of the Hidden Leaf your skills are great you're even trusted Enough by the Hokage to train his only daughter gashi sighed maybe he said he looked up right into sasukes black eyes tell me Sask if you had everything in the world but you came across the power unfairly would you truly be happy it depends sasu Shrugged if you think power will make you happy then you'd be happy even if you killed to get it you'd still be satisfied but you would never experience Joy again joy and happy my friend are much different things seems like you've got experience kiritachi chuckled leaning forward towards the fire not experience I just tend to listen when my brother Rambles or my parents talk of family business the aih madness is quite common in my people there was a rustle in the bushes and sassu quickly turned to look for them only to find nuto and Sakura walking up to the camp didn't mean to scare you Sask Naruto gave a cheesy grin of course that's why you concealed your chakra down to levels of a mouse and walked oh so quietly it was clear Sask wasn't amused but it didn't stop nuto from grinning and Sakura from smiling every party needs a pooper that's why they sasu groaned not that again the tents are set up koham yelled throwing a thumbs up yeah but not with your hands Shin squinted irritably at the Cobi em and me did all the work gashi nodded yes that seems to have worked well done you three he stood up and walked off into into the woods around them ignoring the strange stairs at his back he kept walking going deeper and deeper into the forest his eyes closed deep in thought his footsteps stopped when his surroundings grew dark his body suddenly heavy well done you and I our plan to attack is a go then Madar appeared in front of him phasing in and out of vision yes they won't suspect a thing Naruto and sassu carg guarding during the night both are very skilled in sensing chakra and it appears em has inherited the family's bloodline of chakra sensing as well it won't be easy to sneak up Madara Sama but of course Madara practically hissed who says we'll be sneaking there's the next chapter hope this didn't seem to rushed I not a professional writer after all give me your opinion thanks for reading I'll update soon lisher chapter 13 I'm actually surprised I got that last chapter out as quick as I did hopefully more updates will be like that I got a review that had mentioned yet another flaw not flame but simply pointing something out I appreciate that by the way let me just clear it up so yes it's a flaw for your readers that chapter chapter one had been redone so many times I lost count I don't usually redo my chapters but I had redone that one many times anyway well redoing I lost some key parts for example I lost a section where Kakashi's father was still alive which he is and where it mentioned why he graduated at such a later age reason for that was because he woke up at around the age he would be graduating in the real camp Cannon I had made it so instead he started the academy then for reasons unknown and then graduated at the age 12 because he wanted to savor and experience more of the academy anyway that was the simple reason that got left out I may go back and fix chapter 1 again but for now it's not horrible thanks for reading chapter 12 Nudo ran his hands through his hair Sask was on the other side of the camp probably lazily sitting in a tree and usually Naruto was quite drowsy during night watch but he couldn't help but feel Restless it was as if something was lurking he looked around trying to see if anything was watching however the only thing that seemed to be out of the ordinary was the random Breeze he ran his hand through his hair for what must have been the millionth time he would use sage mode but the only problem was if he did Sask would sense his chakra change and he'll get suspicious of battle then he'd come over here and if Naruto's healing was correct the enemy would use that advantage and attack while Sask wasn't looking his blue eyes suddenly flashed however when he felt a spike of chakra come from sas's direction if saso didn't sense it then he was an idiot he focused on his sage mode until his eyes were the fire yellow focusing on sas's chakra he relaxed when sasukes chakra flow was normal he could tell there was a battle of sorts going on but he still felt like there was something around him he didn't dare move from his spot theut yamaki he heard a whisper turning his head sharply towards the source he could see looming Shadows of the tree but no body he didn't sense chakra only a presence Naruto yamaki yuzaki Naruto yamaki nuto has felt as if it were about to snap from his neck as he whipped his eyes around the fellet of his vision he clenched his fists and closed his eyes tight as the voices grew Nar you to ayakai he could feel his blood begin to freeze as his limbs grew stiff with frustration what he yelled his eyes growing redder a slit forming and intersecting the horizontal line who are you he yelled he felt his heart burn and his mind fuzz it was abnormal for him to get angry so fast but for some reason he couldn't control his rage what is it you want bastard he howled feeling his teeth sharpen but what's going on Nudo thought feeling as if he were drowning in a pool of red slowly watching the surface fade where am I nuto grabbed his head and shook it ferociously stop it he yelled stomping his feet flailing about it felt as if his heart would burst and his mind was melting stop it damn it he could feel something Slither up his leg it wasn't a snake in fact it wasn't living his chakra danced around his body blue and red fighting each other for dominance he saw his own blue chakra beginning to wither as the red thick bubbling chakra swarmed uzamaki uzamaki Naruto yamaki the voice continued to loom around his body as his bone set a fire inside himself Achi coughed shutting his eyes feeling his head spin he heard footsteps beside him in a panick presence he began to wonder if it was the enemy if he was actually about to be killed stabbed kidnapped but his thoughts ended when a sturdy hand touched his shoulder only to pull back with a his Naruto it was Sask wasn't Sask fighting Sask looked at his hand curiously it was bright red from the heat of the chakra around his teammate Naruto he called again Naruto what's wrong he watched as Naruto flung back his hands gripping his head madly as his teeth flashed sharp and Jagged his hair turned a dark yellow almost orange and his skin glowed in an unnatural fasion ah Naruto's screams were unfading as his hands pulled at his scalp Naruto snap out of it what with you sasu yelled beginning to panic he tried to reach for his teammate again only to see nut's eyes snap open to say he was staring into hell were to be an understatement he was sure he had witnessed the Devil Himself in his friend's eyes they were the darkest of blood rad as an ex began to form stretching so wide and far his eyes were beginning to become black was sasu flinched at the sight Naruto suddenly he felt a presence behind him and as sasu grabbed a kunai to threaten the target he calmed it was Sakura narudo she yelled landing on the branch and catching her breath why was she catching her breath Sakura why is your chakra low sasu casked looking with caution at her Sakura shook her head not now Baka Naruto's losing control she yelled panicked losing control losing control of what sasu CED slightly irritated at his absence of knowledge of the subject sakur again shook her head just please get get some water she said hoping her teammate would fetch it reluctant or not not she heard him Grunt and agree running off to the stream that was near them Naruto she whispered watching him Shake Naro calm and her calm voice was almost inaudible over the HS of the namikas why is the caoi doing this haven't they come to terms she wondered starting strangely at him esak and nuto mumbled a low Rumble in his throat G get away no not saf he struggled to get the syllables out but Sakura understood what she asked leaning closer to her teammate grubbing his hands cooling the off with her chakra Naro I'm not going anywhere and no be behind you he said looking fiercely behind her their eyes widened as she turned around only to see Blackness absence nothing bakan Narito yelled watching her body fall to the ground below them he looked with Raging Eyes at the foe before him you bastard youi smirked the names youi of course he leaned into the blonde stepping on his leg with his heeled boot you may know me as kiritachi sens he hissed nutk eyes widened his appearance was different but his chakra was the same you kiritachi he growled gear dirt to the hidden Leaf gashi frowned shut up caoi scum Youk be buried in that shameful dirt in a minute suddenly a silver flash sliced at 's cheek get the hell away from my teammate you son of [ __ ] sasu yelled jumping to Naruto's side and throwing a punch at the enemy's gut buai tumbled backwards and jumped off the branch sasu glanced down at Naruto for a moment before jumping down after the traitor arudo looked down to where Sakura's motionless body lay she wasn't dead he could still see her small breaths but the image was burned into his mind he looked on angrily as sasu for UI using his Katana ui's kunai switched past the aa's head piercing his shoulder ducking down and ignoring the pain sassu continued to fight artfully swinging his sword trying to hit Target in a moment less than Udi's eyes flared open icy blue and piercing his hands glowed and his smile sadistic reaching for sas's arms he latched on tightening his grip nuto watched as Sask dropped his sword and flinched in the enemy's grasp no Naruto shook his head no no no no no no never he let out a Roar and let his mind fade sas's body fell his pulse light Sakura's heaving breaths lightened he could feel everything around him he could feel 's sleeping form her teammates as well they must have been still inside the tent but that didn't matter all that mattered was Udi's blood blood burning fire that's all he could describe the feeling as his entire was burning on fire he opened his eyes only to quickly shut them as the sun was way too bright he could hear a gentle breeze but it was almost unnoticed with his pounding head he let loose a groan lifting his hand up he tried opening his eyes again starting at his red and irritated arm Burns he questioned he sat up ignoring the shooting pain through his body taking a look around suddenly the memories of the previous night came flooding back blood splattered the trees the ground the grass yells and howls echoed the forest blue flashes blue eyes icy stare Bei kiritachi trer he clenched his fists he looked beside him to see the blood of a body but no body where' he go he tried to think but his head kept pounding he briefly remembered falling down as Bui fell lifeless but his body was no longer there arudo tried to shrug it off and as his racing mind remembered his teammates he looked frantically around trying desperately to find them he spun around seeing Sakura and sasukes bodies a little distance away he breathed in a sigh of relief when he could feel their chakra signatures he saw approaching figures coming towards them e Naruto suddenly saw his sister fall at Sakura's side making sure she was alive as the others ran to Sask he stood up groaning at the feeling of his muscles tearing Bei he coked walking slowly towards them are are they okay he called he saw his sister's head lift Naruto she yelled what happened Nudo shook his head in defiance no tell me if they're okay he said e nodded they're fine but look at you she pointed to his body you're bleeding and burned everywhere what the hell happened last night the noeru stood up yeah we didn't even wake up from the look of things it seems like it was a big battle baruto sighed letting his body fall between sasukes and sakuras kashi's a traitor Mimi's eyes widened he did this why would he it doesn't matter why it just mattered that he hurt sakuran he hurt hurt Sask HEK a traitor he almost got to me too he closed his eyes trying not to let the memories flood his mind we need to get back home quickly em shook her head you can't walk like that Naruto you'll make your injuries worse Sakura stirred beside him and then shot up her eyes open and alert and Nudo she flung her head around trying to find her blonde teammate when her eyes saw his limp body beside her her hand shot to her mouth H how' this happen she asked worried Theo gave her a winse of a smile morning sakuran he said sakur anel healing chakra into her hands and pressed them to nark torso Baka what happened she asked focusing on healing him wek talk about it tssss sakur on that hurts he squirmed under her hands anyway we'll talk about it later she was about to argue with that but she decided to let it go he must have reason for talking about it later she just nodded and continued to work sakuran she turned her head to see kohu crouching beside her what about sasan he said pointing to the AA Sakura sighed he's knocked out but it seems like his chakur regained from him fighting wek just have to wait until he's awake Shen nodded so what now we get everything put together you guys go pack up the tents and camping stuff we headed back for the village Sakura ordered not taking her eyes away from nut the Jen and listened to their order and left to pick up the camp sasura shook her head in Wonder it's a miracle you're alive Baka Theo chuckled already feeling her Healing Hands working well I'm an amazing guy after all he joked zakura laughed y realizing what she said her smile faded and she furred her brows concentrating on fixing him rather than her words what was that sakuran Naruto pushed did you admit I was amazing he asked playfully zakura frowned do you want to be healed or do you plan on being buried in the ground she threatened Naruto laughed nervously trying to lift his hands in defense they heard saso Shuffle beside the you two are crazy he mumbled sitting up so I heard the whole conversation zakuro blushed W what we're going back to the hidden Leaf he asked making sure he heard correctly Dorito nodded yeah I'll give you guys more detail later but I can't talk about it here he grunted and sat up thanks for healing me sakuran he smiled Sakura shook her head just don't go and kill yourself almost again she sighed sasu crazed an eyebrow again both Nudo and Sakura waved him off as Sask frowned they stood up and began to make their way to the campground Bei kohu and shin both finished packing up just as Naruto Sask and Sakura walked out to the clearing you guys ready Naruto asked trying to ignore the bandages around his chest arms and knees some of the burns were almost impossible to heal Bei nodded yeah letun get going before something else happens Vdara walked along the forest ground as expected he grinned he's losing control he blended into the background as the leaves lifted in the breeze this is a shorter chapter but it's simple and to the point hopefully the beginning wasn't too confusing this was a strange battle I know in fact there wasn't much battling but that's because there's supposed to be confusion in the next chapter anyway hope you enjoyed have a nice day blish chapter 14 I have decided that when this story is finished I'm going to fix all the loopholes and shizel Di like that but for now just point the flaws out and I'll bookmark it because the flaws won screw up the story or the story line for that matter just small things anyway thanks for keeping up with me chapter 13 what are you hiding from us you come back from this Mission and you're almost dead the burns on your body are from Chakra and the reports say you almost transformed into the nine Tales how the hell can you hide all of this from us for almost 18 godamn ears manado rarely yelled but this was definitely a rare occasion his face was twisted and though he was angry his eyes showed betrayal like a loyal dog hit by its Master kha watched from behind the kitchen counter it wasn't common for manado and Naruto to argue what am I hiding from you you really want to know there's a reason why I try to forget all of that Naruto took a dangerous step towards his father you're not supposed to be alive mom's not supposed to be alive I'm supposed to be orphaned beaten by The Village hated by everyone because you guys sealed a demon Fox inside me the AA Clan is supposed to be murdered killed off my Itachi sasukes a mass murderer he betrayed all of us he broke sakur Chan's heart abido supposed to be madara's right-hand man he kills you Bashi supposed to have lost both teammates known as the copycat Kakashi using his teammate's eye as his own the hidden Leaf is supposed to be destroyed reduced to damn Rubble all in the hands of pain jera is supposed to be dead killed by those bastards and the worst part of it I'm supposed to save the Bam worlded from all that crap and I didn't even have the family to save it you Mom e me nothing was right nuto didn't dare blink he didn't dare move his glance his eyes were too clouded with water I supposed to be nuto uzamaki the ninet tales Ginger Ricki monado didn't let his eyes stray from his son's stare manado could sense emotions he could feel what the mood was in the room but for the life of him he couldn't tell just exactly what Naruto was truly feeling betrayal pain loneliness abandonment and yet he had to hold the entire world he chose to hold the entire world minado's thoughts slowed as Naruto gave a slow unsteady blink so please nuto continued through clenched teeth don't tell me where my wrongs are I'm plenty competent of the skeletons in my closet lonado saw the chance he knew nuto was about to walk out the door and part of himself wanted that but he knew he shouldn't just let nuto drop a bomb like this listen to me he said more gently but still commanding I'm your father you understand that that means you're my son whether you're from this timeline or not Bashi saved us for a reason and that was to be there for you for Emy he took it deep deep breath I'm not saying I understand you but you can't just forget about your old life at some point your pot's going to overboil and spill out so if someone's around to watch it I'll take the burns head on he looked at him fiercely because you're my son if it weren't for nunk anger his rage his broken Spirit he would have probably nodded agreeing with him however Naruto wasn't free from his past demons and his heart was at an unsteady Pace I may be your son but I've seen More Hell than you have on this Earth Dad I've seen death death of comrades death of Brothers death of sisters death of teachers Masters and senses I've seen the death of family right before my eyes Theo's voice became muffled as manado reached out embracing his son's body his eyes were wide they wanded the room almost scared terrified even he placed his chin on the nape of his son's shoulder with deep breaths stop it he whispered low and rumbled stop it don't let the monsters eat you for the first time in a long time nuto let himself cry he closed his eyes tightly returning the embrace his father captured him in he let his hands grip the fourth hokage's cloak he let his mouth open and then close uncontrollable sobs erupted from his chest I'm sorry he said between tears I just he paused trying to find the words I'm just not used to coming home and sharing my feelings even if it had been almost 18 years nuto still wasn't sure how to share his feelings sure he wore his heart on his sleeve a lot but he never really shared it with anyone always hiding behind a grin lecturing others of his own mistakes he never truly took the time off to talk about himself he just never did Thea stepped from the kitchen you can tell us slowly nuto we don't want to force you into anything okay her voice was gentle as a mother should but the determination was still as strong as ever when she spoke Theo nodded stepping from his father's grasp yeah I know he said taking a slow and shaky breath thanks I'm just going to take a walk if you don't mind he turned to the door turning the handle and walking out luckily Emy was still being questioned by some bamboo about kiritachi she never liked fights at least not verbal ones bado and kha stared at the closed door a while more her hand slowly found his at his side as she wrapped her fingers in between his own you're a good father you know that she said looking to him and smiling he gave a weak laugh I'm not the best he looked towards her leaning in and kissing her nose but thanks Ken she laughed I never said you were the best now did I she clicked her tongue in a disapproving manner all teased though she sighed and looked out the window behind them then there's Pachi lonado fur at his brows I don't know why I chose him to be her Sensei I feel like an idiot B shook her head don't blame yourself no one could have known that's the thing I always felt like there was something off about him in fact abido was fine with being her Sensei he was flattered but for some reason I chose kiritachi or whoever he is manado sighed running his hand through his hair it's been a weird week sac sat on her desk her usual perch as her fingers weaved with one another her eyebrows furrowed she couldn't help but think about her blonde teammate it was abnormal for him to be so distant after a mission he had almost turned into the caoi many times every time he was sorry but he seemed very very distant this time she closed her eyes tired of thinking but still continued to did something come up had his parents told him to keep under control on the mission if so does he feel he failed them is he regretting it she shook her head if there was one thing that was horrible for him besides Raymond it was regret he was never good with regret that's why or so she thinks that he's always so upfront and never turns back on something so he won't regret it later she placed her hands firmly on her desk that was it she was going to find him knowing him he was probably on the huage mountain thinking to himself he went home with his parents but from their faces she didn't think he'd stay along with him besides nuto was an internal processor no matter her how loud and up front he was he processed things by thinking for a long time about it that knowledge of course made her stop in her tracks holding Loosely to her medical Overcoat she was just about to hang it up however if Naruto truly needed to think this though himself then she shouldn't interrupt it would be rude unkind selfish even but she shook her head hanging her coat up and marching outside who cares she was going to find nuto as she went through the office Halls she dodged a few nurses whose walked by nodding an apology of being too hasty when she got to the slight sliding doors at the exit of the hospital she walked out looked up at the Hokage faces still not used to only seeing four and jumped onto the rooftops she glanced sideways wondering what the village was doing below the normal hustle and bustle as expected when her eyes caught the familiar side of an orange jacket she smiled hurrying up towards it arudo sat on the Hokage faces his chin resting on his knees and his arms wrapped around his legs he proceeded to take deep breaths then sighing blowing his loose hair off his forehead he watched the village with Restless eyes he hadn't been sleeping lately it wasn't because life wasn't good it was great but as Sakura brought up how they may have left behind some of their friends the thought came across his mind as well and though he may have comforted Sakura about it he was still thinking about it himself of course that wasn't the only problem it was also the fact that he could have killed someone with his caoi mode caoi hadn't been talking to him like usual and meditating didn't improve their bond he was aware that he had two sealed somehow inside him his mother being the original host of the demon still held it but it was as if some of it went to nuto probably during child birth but every time Naruto's thoughts drifted towards the fox he couldn't help but think what if it was slowly taking over but caoi wouldn't do that the other one on the other hand would he ran his hands though his hair it wasn't right it was as if he was reliving the internal nightmare he faced as a child feeling like there was a monster slowly leaking its way though him the way he was so aggravated with his dad was full proof who was he what was he that's what scared him after all what person would turn their backs on their friends just to escape small depression of the past he didn't hear the footsteps coming up behind him he didn't hear the gentle call of a feminine voice he didn't see her Shadow Loom over him coming closer but he did feel her hand touching his shoulder and by that Simple Touch he knew who it was zachar rich an he said not turning his head sakur aside what are you doing here Nudo he Shrugged just thinking is all thinking for you can be dangerous she teased sitting down beside him of course there was no emotion as a reaction on his face it made her worry more listen Nudo you shouldn't keep it inside so much I'm worried for you she said honestly he looked at her his cheek still resting on his knees I don't think Youk understand he said moving his gaze back over the village and away from her own eyes she was sure he didn't mean to offend her by the comment but it stung her of all people would probably understand of course as a foolish child she made mistakes with mistreating him and such but she tried her best to amend the mistakes of the past and live for today even tomorrow she fured her eyebrows and sigh you're right I probably don't understand you nuto however I'd like to think over the past 28 years I've really gotten to know you that you trust me enough to tell me what's on your mind her tone was firm continuous and strict arudo blinked slowly his eyes glassy but from previous tears Sakura gave a small frown had he been crying he finally turned his gaze back to her his face still emotionless fine I'll tell you she gave a sigh of relief but nuto didn't let her have time to take in a breath before he continued to speak I can't control the caoi I can't meditate and talk to him I can't get in touch with him at all and to top it all off I can't sleep it's as if there's a monster inside me that just wants to run out and get away but I he swallowed the lump in his throat I don't want to hurt anyone but I can't control it I pant he looked away from her and back to the overview of the village she felt her eyes soften it wasn't fair for her to force information out of him but he couldn't keep it inside all the time either it wasn't heathy Naruto she whispered I'm sorry she reached out touching his shoulder once more and when she felt him lean into the touch she allowed her body to lean closer and embrace him she wrapped her arms around his back tucking her face in his shoulder as he did the same unfolding his knees and letting his legs awkwardly lay in front of him though it didn't matter he felt like hugs today anyway he could feel his heart rate pick up at the contact letting himself get drowned in her scent her hair her skin he let his hands rub her back knowing that's as far as she'd let them go however he was surprised when he felt her body lean closer into his Embrace as if she needed the hug just as much as he did his emotionless face drew a hint of A Smile as she continued to hug Naruto she whispered don't leave me okay she said pulling back and looking him in the eyes please don't leave me he let his smile grow never he vowed she smiled back pulling from his Embrace and leaning on his upper arm letting her head fall on his shoulder she could fell his head lovingly Bonk her own as if to say he approved of the position she was in and then lifted it gazing over the village again she placed her hand in her lap the other supporting her weight besides her leaning on nuto she let her thoughts Wonder something she hadn't thought of for a while for a long while did she love him there were many different forms of Love there was Brotherly Love motherly love fatherly love and then a Lover's love the fact that her mind wandered far enough as to think of him as a lover was frightening her rational side said brother and a small portion of impulse in her head said lover she sighed it probably wasn't smart to think about such a subject while leaning on his shoulder but she couldn't help it she didn't dare speak her mind but the part of her that wanted a fairy tale ending almost wanted to fall into his arms every night every morning she knew nuto probably still thought she liked Sask and that was understandable she had obsessed over him for much of her childhood life even after becoming a teenager she still chazzed him it wasn't until after his death did she realize otherwise in their past of course of course Naruto was oblivious which meant he only let himself go as far as a best friend and some of Sakura wanted it to stay that way to let it remain friendship but a corner of her mind knew for a fact that if she didn't marry him then she would probably remain single for the rest of her life she sighed for now so be it she was leaning on his shoulder enjoying the weather and Silence of the dimming daylight love him or not she lived in the moment now so right now she didn't know and she was okay with that this was shorter than most but I felt it needed to end here anyway thanks for reading as usual 'll update when I can lisher e chapter 15 I'm beginning to have writers block TT NOS fanfiction won't let me post a new story it must be Karma it has to be that so I was planning on getting this chapter out way beforehand however I deleted the chapter twice because I realized I made a much rash decision so instead I'm taking a different route I would like to apologize to c h i c k n i d k23 i was planning on using your suggestion for this chapter however I'm going to be delaying that they'll need to stay in the dark for a bit longer boyed about the new movie coming out in the latest Manga chapter me chapter 14 are you tired are you weary turn around those Footprints are proof of progress sometimes all the time I wonder what happened I wonder why those three just sto functioning it's as if for the past 17 years they've been on autopilot and can't find their way back it's strange how it affects the whole village the head medic doing nothing but eat Mumble and sleep the Village Hero losing his Spite and energy becoming just as robotic as the other two what was wrong with them my mind Jutsu won work there are no thoughts to read Eno sat on the bench nearing the outer border of koha she tended to sit out there often and think think about the past think about the present it was hard to to tell the difference nowadays but as her thoughts began to slow she stood up and made her way back to their flower shop at least that section of koha was still somewhat Lively as she walked she looked at the sky something she had picked up on from her lazy teammate Eno groaned more like lazy husband she corrected she smiled however they were happy together in this Twisted peaceful life happiness was hard to come by you would think peacefulness was good but it was almost carnivorous when she got onto the dirt path rather than the cobbled Stone she noticed the lack of people walking through the town memories of their team on missions running door Todo flooded her mind living in the past was all they could do now she peered ahead noticing an oncoming figure the side almost made her jump Kakashi Sensei she mused lifting her hand high enough to give a friendly wave not like he'd respond to me she thought bitterly as he walked past her she watched him from the corner of her eye he was still emotionless always emotionless now s a suck do e he mumbled as usual why did they always Mumble his name Kakashi gave a slow blink our remember team s he continued to chant slowly be no let him slowly stumble pass his ghostly figure skimming the floor like a Deadman he wasn't much different from a Deadman anyway as she walked past ignoring the shivers down her spine she continued down the road to her flower shop most likely Shikamaru and choji would be there as well when she arrived she swung open the door noticing the lights were on hello she asked setting her bag down on the counter and and putting the scattered pens away back into the cup on the desk Shikamaru Joi she called looking around I'm back here Shikamaru said his voice was steady as usual but there was a sense of awe or maybe shock in it in the closet he finished same tone Eno walked down the hall and into what they called the closet it wasn't a closet really it was extremely small room inside it was her desk and a few other belongings she used it as her workpace when the shop was closed after hours what's wrong she camaru she looked to where he was staring and there sitting on her desk was no other than the absent-minded Heros Sakura her best friend her breath hitched in her throat as she saw the pink-haired woman it had been forever since she saw her since she'd lost her mind as well as nuto and Kakashi 17 years ago what is she doing Eno whispered as if she were scared to scare Sakura Shikamaru didn't move just blinked steadily I I don't know she just walked in while you were out and started staring at the paper he explained Eno watched his Sakura continued to stare at the blank paper just as wide and lifeless as her face when Eno began to reach out wondering if she'd react Sakura moved her hand slowly up and grabbed a pen clutching it tightly she brought the pen to the paper making a line straight down the middle and again but horizontal four blank squares now laid on the paper she again placed her hand on the paper the top left Square writing in the smallest font possible sorry sorry Eno questioned when she saw what Sakura wrote what does that mean she looked to Shikamaru hoping to find an answer this was the first time their friend had done anything out of their ordinary pattern of sleep Mumble and eat it was almost frightening but Eno couldn't stop the small hope of seeing even the smallest bit of her friend again I don't know Eno Shikamaru finally answered this whole situation is too Troublesome he placed his hands into his pockets and watched as Sakura stood up leaving the paper and walking out of the closet mumbling the normal chant s suak r remember team 7 Sakura Eno yelled wanting her to stop walking but the pink medic didn't even respond she slumped out the door and back on the roads of koha the blonde woman almost fell backwards thankful for Shikamaru standing behind her he held her for a bit letting the silence lay around them Shikamaru Eno asked for his attention not waiting for him to respond I saw Kakashi walking around earlier it's strange seeing them walking isn't it what do you think is going on she asked taking in a deep breath it seems they're becoming more active maybe they're trying to get a message through if Sakura wrote sorry maybe the others have something to say too he said mumbling the last part as if the false hope would crush them Eno looked up at him surprised what would they have to say Eno wondered aloud chamu picked up the piece of paper on the desk the now three blank squares and the one word sorry maybe they're realizing something somewhere else em walked inside the house she had just came back from her final day of questioning she frowned as she thought why they took so long with questioning her dad had said it was because they didn't want to shock whoever it was they were were asking but em was over the trauma of the event the second she was back in the village no one died so why should she freak out so much she moved her bangs that hung Loosely in front of her eyes out of her vision letting out a deep sigh she set her hands at her side and smiled at least it was over now now she didn't have to answer questions that she didn't know the answer to she heard footsteps coming down the hall as she headed towards the fridge to get a refreshment as she turned around to see who it was she smiled when she saw it was her brother hey nuto she greeted Nudo nodded his head towards her with a smile a sis be raised a brow when she set her water glass on the counter you were out late last night where were you she asked curiously arudo Shrugged scratching the back of his head just talking to Sakura I was thinking at first though he tilted his head as if curious are you done with the whole questioning thing she nodded with a grin yep no more crazy question to think about aruto laughed nervously he look I'm sorry I had to put she lifted her hand dismissed it's not your fault she looked at him strangely besides why do you even need to apologize you're the one who was able to protect us she said he nodded without making eye contact do but who knows for how long I'll be able to protect you guys he thought he shook his head ridding himself of the dark thoughts e the blonde asked em picked up her glass and took a sip before setting it down H she asked but as nuto opened his mouth to respond the door opened and their mother walked in never mind he shook his head waving his hand to dismissively what are you going to be doing today he asked changing the subject be looked at him skeptically but answered probably nothing I was going to walk around the village that's about it his nod seemed to make her even more Curious he was absent-minded and that wasn't like nuto at all nuto what were you doing last night I mean I knew you went home with Dad and Mom but what about afterwards she asked he Shrugged sitting down on the table where they ate as a family Sakura and I talked a little that's it he said said persistently as if he needed to convince her I'm not accusing you of anything nuto I'm just well I'm just worried is all she said her eyebrows arched in a caring manner it was strange as nuto looked up at her he could have sworn he saw his mother em and their mom were different mostly in face shape she had the coloring of kha but she had the face of their father but the way she looked at him that that it was almost motherly he sighed and ran his hands though his hair something he was doing too often and let the breath out well no need to worry kha he looked up and smiled at her when does your ninja training start again next week but man I wish it was sooner what exactly am I going to even do for a whole week I don't understand why AO Sensei just doesn't well start now she said impatiently her once worried brows shaping to a furrowed line arudo laughed walking up to her and rubbing her head patience is a virtue he said simply says you she mumbled back smacking his hand from her head hey her face lit up I've got a bright idea why not you train me for a bit come on you're like pretty good right she said almost mocking him into the challenge he took a step back are you doubting my ninja talents he asked raising his hands in a teasing manner she sighed you know all I know is that you're rash and impulsive something ninjas shouldn't be she said matter of factly by iot sasu team was talking about me behind my back wasn't he I swear he'll get it good I'll show him who's rash and impulsive I'll teach you how to become the best of the best you got that nuto yelled stomping his foot like a child Bei smiled an innocent smile you'll train me then Theo face faulted still persuasive as ever he sighed after nodding and leaning back against the wooden frame of the chair he watched as his sister happily made herself some lunch humming all the due time sasu qued along the village border he normally went for a stroll in the afternoon before lunch it was peaceful and still felt like morning but it wasn't too cold to relax and sit down if he wanted the perfect time of day that's what he called it as he walked further along he thought for sure he felt someone's chakra he was positive about it he turned around quickly but casual enough so he wouldn't draw suspicion to those passing by when he saw no one behind him he tensed Up Normally that would be a good sign but to a ninja that meant something more it meant they were being followed and they didn't know who what where or for how long they've been being tracked now Sask with his Sharingan could easily activate and find the enemy but he didn't know where to look and frantically turning this way and that Sharingan activated wasn't the most subtle approach so he waited until he felt the chakra again then he'd look but after an hour of walking it never returned he shook his head it was probably his imagination nothing more as he turned around to walk back to town he heard voices behind him unlike adults these voices were immature adolescent young assuming the kids would soon Rush past him in a blinding blur as kids usually did he didn't bothering looking behind him but when the voices never grew louder or closer and they didn't rush past him his curious iOS it spiked and he turned around he didn't see kids or he didn't fully see kids as if glowing with life the wind blew past him carrying the sound of laughter the wind he thought watching it Blow the leaves the sound still echoing in his head he stood still no one around and listened patch me if you can came the words followed by a fit of Giggles the AA appeared at the trees around him waiting for kids to pop out and run around but the voices didn't grow closer and they didn't grow fainter as if that the sky was falling where he stood began to shake it wasn't violent but the sudden vibration in the air and Earth startled him what the hell he cursed inwardly hearing the kids laughter and Giggles fade away the shakes becoming less violent what is going on as quickly as the events occurred the AA sprinted towards the Hokage Tower even if he wasn't Ambu he needed to report this infused that's okay you'll find out throughout the story the beginning and the end were supposed to be extremely confusing if you have any guesses on what it is I want to hear them I wonder wonder if you guys can figure out what's going to happen I'm pretty sure you'll hate the ending of this fanfic I finally thought it up in my head successfully who knows maybe you like it see next update TTFN lisher e chapter 16 I would like to think that I'm about halfway done with this story I'd like to have a total of 30 chapters when I'm done so WooHoo for halfway yes you guys were right the beginning of the previous chapter was in fact from the original timeline and others predictions on the ending were correct as well yourselves on the back congrats P however I am responding to one fabulous review beer takoni how do you know chapter 15 lonado sat at his desk concentrating on his paperwork he had procrastinated all day thinking about many things this and that so when he heard a knock at the door he was tempted to not respond however he must have not replied quick enough for a second knock came he supposed two knocks were urgent enough for a small distraction or let's hope small come in he said dropping his pen to the table surprised eyes widened when he saw none other than a chasuk walk in SAS what can I do for you he asked it was unusual for him to stop by something's wrong Sask said simply I was walking around the village border inside the woods and there was laughter lado raised his blonde eyebrows laughter were there kids nearby is that what's wrong no I looked for kids but I didn't find anything I couldn't sense chakra but I'd feel an occasional Spike of it and in it kept staining near me or above me I don't know but finally when it began to fade the ground began vibrating and Sask was cut off vibrating how is that possible I've been sitting here all day and there hasn't even been the slightest of Shifting he said looking at sasu puzzled are you sure you're okay sasu shook his head I can tell when I'm in a jinjutsu and I'm not crazy something happened I just don't know what I'm not calling you crazy I'm pretty sure all Shinobi are insane for the line of work therein however what you're saying is a little far-fetched he settled that was an appropriate word right I thought you would know hokama Sask leaned against the wall that was near the door he had yet to fully enter lenado gave a silent no in response sadly the only reasonable answer I have I can't share with you maybe if you have you brought this up to Kakashi Nado asked maybe Kakashi would answer the older teen no but it seems that where I'll be going next sorry to bother you manado Sama sasu gave a headbow and left menado sat at his desk folding his hands together the only time he'd heard about this was when a jinjutsu user was losing chakra not able to hold the jinjutsu correctly little parts of reality would seep through the cracks of the Jutsu but Sask wasn't underage jinjutsu and it' be impossible for the entire Village to be under one either way the only logical answer was that somehow a different time was seeping through or maybe a different reality Bashi had mentioned that their timeline kept going on it didn't stop when they left because every time was independent or so he knew knew but how could the Jutsu be weakening if it wasn't a jinjutsu and wasn't powered by chakra or maybe it was lenado shook his head the thought boggled his mind but either way they needed to figure out what was wrong two realities could be bad zakura sat in the rayment stand with Naruto and Emy she had caught them training together and seeing them so exhausted and offered the idea of dinner of course Naruto chose Raymond in less than a second and Emy seemed to succumb to the idea as well oh well she probably should be used to it by now she pushed her rayment Bowl away having finished it and leaned back in the booth to stretch herself it was one of those stretches where you barely move but it feels so satisfying saakar Rich Anne she heard nunk voice over his slurping of Raymond you know nuto you shouldn't talk with your mouth full she chastised arudo gave a fake pout but swallowed his food and looked at her I was wondering he began suddenly embarrassed to look her in the eyes you know the festivals tomorrow the one for the cages of The Villages wellson Sask isn't going and Kakashi guarding with a beito and Rin I was oh well I wanted you to come with me he said Gathering the courage to look up at her Sakura not quite sure how to respond let out a giggle it was always interesting to see her orange clad companion baffled and awkward well I don't see why not she said with a smile still enjoying his fidgeting she found it refreshing when she felt her heart spill over trading blood for skip of a beat surprised Naruto found himself smile almost as if his question was normal granted as a child he'd asked her many times but there interactions now seem more natural asking her seem more natural perhaps he should ask more often you know Emy began raising her Chopsticks in the air normally I'd watch the sappy scene respectfully but because it's getting late and I've got something tomorrow morning I'm going to break this up Sakura who had pushed down the urge to blush nodded hastily in agreement shek right she began I've got Hospital hours early tomorrow what Naruto seemingly deflated from the rapid downfall of the evening whined his protests but em you don'tk even have anything tomorrow actually I'm training with kohu she said matter of factly I thought I was training you he countered thinking he had her cornered she grinned you are just during the afternoon I train with koho in the morning the face faulted n isn't that overdoing it a little sis she smirked I've got a lot to live up to giving a nod to Sakura as she sat up from the booth she continued now let's go Speedy noticing the sarcastic tone nuto defended himself now for your information I'm extremely fast I called you Speedy didn't I she countered beginning to walk off towards the outside of the Raymond bar zakura laughed and shook her head at the situation well she said turning to a pouting Nudo I guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow nuto nodded The Confident grin coming back on his face yeah oh and he stuck out his thumb behind him as he walked off towards his sister we something nice he winked sprinting off zakura shook her head disapprovingly curve she sighed as she made her way to her house she found it soothing to think of the night to come may it e friendship or intimacy she enjoyed a relationship with nuto over the world taking a deep breath and looking at the stars above she exhaled things were much better this time around when she reached her apartment she headed straight for her bathroom preparing to take a shower she had work early tomorrow so she didn't want to show up with wet hair and the hassle of wet hair while doing medical work wasn't fun she ran her hand through her hair pulling it back into a ponytail then releasing it when she reached the door to her bathroom she eagerly opened it undoing her shirt however when she had glanced at herself in the mirror something had caught her eye two things actually first was the scar on her arm and her side the scar nuto had given her when the caoi was consuming him the scar brought unwanted memories but they didn't scare her nearly as much as the colored shape on her forehead the Diamond sunade S is Jutsu and she hadn't ever tried using her Jutsu in this timeline she hadn't run into nuto when the caoi was taking over she hadn't done any of the things but there on the mirror was proof as she got closer to the mirror she touched her arm slowly and softly as if the healed flesh may still sting her eyes flicked to her forehead still somewhat larger than normal and stared at the diamond on there in all its purple glory and as three words came to mind her heart raced what the hell Bashi laid down on his bed looking up at the celling letting his mind Wonder aimlessly Thoughts From the Past his previous past and the coming future Redemption seeping through every story his hand glided up towards his hair running it though as a smile reached his lips he suddenly flinched gripping his hair tightly his other hand flying towards his eye as a shooting pain almost sliced his eye open he gave a shout of pain feeling slowly the pain edging away what the hell it happening to me his thoughts raced faster forgetting the happier memories as it simmered down he let his fingers carefully trace over the now small scar that laid over his eye like a blanket he stood up racing towards the bathroom and could have sworn when he saw his reflection that his part stopped there looking back at him was the piercing eye of the Sharingan and The Haunting Scar from the enemy's Ninja's blade his fingers again traced over the mark wondering if it was real it couldn't be real this never happened in this reality was he hallucinating under jinjutsu he put his fingers together concentrating his chakra but his surroundings didn't change and his eye was still blood red what's going on he whispered to the mirror his hand fell limply to his side this this is impossible the knock came to the door and naturally slid his headband over his one eye a sense of nostalgia came rushing thought his veins he walked to the door hoping it' be someone who was unfamiliar with him though that was harder to anticipate than someone who knew him the sound of knocking came again causing Kakashi to hurry to answering the door ah Kakashi be dad Kakashi said surprised once the door had opened what are his father looks at him sideways now why on Earth are you wearing your headband like that Kakashi Bashi Shrugged no reason he lied tukumo gave a a hearty laugh reaching towards his sonk headband well why now you wear it normally no kakshi grabbed his hand surprised at his Outburst but tried to continue to keep calm sukumo eyes widened taking his hand out of his son's grasp and looking at him strangely are you sure you're all right Kakashi Bashi nodded yeah I was just thinking is all you got in a fist fight with AO again a doesn't surprise me you finally got a black eye he said assuming that's what happened Bashi had an ego after all getting punched by his teammate would give his pride a blow uh yeah you could say that he said scratching the back of his head it's a nasty sucker he weakly laughed Bashi watched as his dad came into his apartment so uh what are you doing here Dad he asked just stopping by the festival's tomorrow and I know we usually do something together but I've been put on an important Mission so I won't be around sukumo gave his son an apologetic look it's no problem dad abido Ren and I were planning something anyway he lied hoping his father would leave sooner he had to figure out what was going on sukumo nodded yes I assumed as much well I've got to get home and finish packing I'll see you after the festival son the ninja nodded and walked out of his son's apartment waking behind him later thehi nodded bidding his goodbyes before closing the door and leaning on it that was convenient he sighed walking to his couch to sit down why is this happening he said lifting his headband to graze his scar and why now this is a really short chapter and it's not much of an improvement from the last but sadly I must end it here I'll update when I can I've made a new Naruto AMV the song is sunrise by Our Last Night the link to my channel is in my profile want to check it out leave a comment or subscribe if you like it loveer e chapter 17 here's chapter 16 don't forget to check out my amvs links in my profile sorry for taking so long to write this I hate school workk and chapter 16 asuk walked down the kohad dirt road he still had to ask Bashi about what happened yesterday yes he had gone home rested on what happened it wouldn't be wise to irrationally pop in on Kakashi and scream random thoughts as his blonde teammate did at times sadly that wouldn't work for him yet somehow nuto always pulled it off his blond-headed companion was just about the luckiest person he's known picking up on things as if he's known them his whole life but what else is there to expect from the hokage's son Sask when he reached kashi's door gave a loud knock a few shuffles were heard inside the apartment before the door flung open Sask Kakashi asked his tone was stressed and his hair was ruffled not to mention the fact that his headband was crocked um is this a bad time Kakashi sensei sassu casked in aort tone but his eyebrows were raised in curiosity Bashi shook his head not not at all he stepped aside so sasu could come in is there something I can do for you Bashi asked saso shook his head um actually there is as in a CH I know my jinjutsu however I've come across something mindboggling Bashi raised his one eyebrow that was showing what's that Sask sat on the edge of the table placed in the room I don't no I was going for a walk the other day but as I neared the outer Village it felt as if I don't know it felt like a jinjutsu but I know it wasn't there were details not even an expert could put in and nothing was influential about myself it was all normal and I heard laughter in a distance but it didn't grow closer or farther and there wasn't a kid in sight after that the ground started to shake as if the world was about to explode but no one around me seemed based Bashi tilted his head are you sure you're not crazy he asked clearly teasing but having no clue what Sask meant saso gave a glare to his teacher no if I were I wouldn't be coming to you would I not unless you'd have something to prove Kakashi pointed out noticing sas's unamused expression he sighed maybe it was where you were what was around you nothing Sask said it was all so normal he scratched the back of his head in confusion hokama said that you'd have some sort of an idea he mentioned the cashi furrowed his eyebrows well he took a deep breath the only thing that actually connects with what you said is a jinjutsu falling apart okama said that Sask nodded but did he say the level of jinjutsu Kakashi asked Sask Shrugged no why when jinjutsu World falls apart that means that there has to be an actual world to fall apart right Kakashi saw the confusion in his students eyes if the world in a jinjutsu was failing that means the jinjutsu has to be a level high enough to obtain the normalities or a successful world he saw the connection meet in sas's Black pupils so if a world you were experiencing was falling apart then the jinjutsu you were in was phenomenal zuk scoffed must have been because the only way for it to have been that lengthy of a jinjutsu was if I were to be casted under it for my entire life everything that's happened in this world I remember nothing's out of the ordinary I mean the only other option is if I were a creation from the Creator's imagination inside the jinjutsu but that's impossible bhi's eyes widened as he listened to Sask realization struck him like a bat to a ball and His Hands balled into fists of course he thought a Sinking Feeling falling into his stomach the Jutsu he whispered aloud but Jutsu sassu cased confused by Kakashi surprised look is everything okay Kakashi Sensei Bashi looked at Sask and stared past him as if he weren't there of course I'm such a fool for thinking we could keep the chakra flowing continuously for so long [ __ ] without correct mediation the entire reality could be blown Kakashi grabbed his Jan and jacket and raced for the door Sask reacting fast enough grabbed his sensei's shoulder what's going on Kakashi he asked seriously hopefully you won't have to know Kakashi said breathlessly as he reached for the door and walked out sasu tilted his head in confusion what however Kakashi was long gone and Sask stood in the apartment alone you know you're not supposed to just barge into places without saying anything Sakura said matter of factly raising a single brow at the blonde who entered her apartment her heart skipped to beat when she remembered the diamond on her forehead however it seemed the blonde didn't even notice it nuto grinned his classic grin and scratched the back of his head dismissing her unamused tone nah I just was excited you know he said his grin didn't falter he tilted his head in a questioning Manner and led his grin level to a kind smile I was coming over to see if you wanted to train with me today he said Sakura sighed shaking her head don't you have to train your sister today she said raising her hands to her hips it's noon already why aren't you outside with her arudo sighed a look of dejection on his face she said she didn't want to train today however the solemn face was soon replaced with a hopeful smile that's why I wanted to train with you come on sakuran it's been forever since we trained together he said exaggerating the word forever with long movements of his arms she nodded in agreement that true I've been so busy with the hospital lately but I don't see why not it's my day off after all she glanced at Naruto a teasing gleam in her eyes but I'm not sure if you're worth my day off they're so rare to come across she said waving her finger in the air but the classic face fault Naruto fell to the ground oh come on sakuran you're so mean their apartment door swung open pushing nuto against the wall with a loud smack Sakura who was covering her mouth to hide her laughter glanced to to see who had opened the door so violently there stood Kakashi in his Jan and jacket and all his face looked urgent something hard to find on the hack's face she noticed his eyes flick to her forehead and she subconsciously let her hand touch the diamond that was there Kakashi Sensei she said questionably what's wrong yeah Kakashi Sensei nuto mumbled picking himself up and brushing off the invisible dirt you nearly crushed my head he complained Bashi looked at both his students then let the doorknob loose from his hand sasu came to me just a minute ago and what he said was something that isn't good he entered the apartment and took a seat at the counter running his hand through his hair both nuto and Sakura stayed where they were watching their Sensei with confused eyes as Kakashi mumbled a few words under his breath he finally gathered the sentence in his mind and looked up the Jutsu I think it's falling apart aruto looked confused what Jutsu zakura however was standing there with wide eyes what do you mean SAS said he heard some noises like when a jinjutsu is falling apart and whoever is inside it can hear the outside world the Earth even shook for him as if the ground beneath him was collapsing Kakashi explained wait but didn't we time travel we didn't use a jinjutsu Sakura said completely baffled that's what I'm confused about too but what other explanation is there the only reason that would happen is because of the Jutsu we used their Sensei side there actually was Yun Jutsu in it as well as other kinds of Jutsu I just thought it was necessary for time travel but it seems there may have been more of it needed than we thought wait if I casted the Jutsu Naro thought aloud and I royally suck it jinjutsu then how on Earth was I able to keep it going for this long he asked tilting his head because you use the caoi chakra remember Kakashi pointed out heun's probably been controlling it the entire time Dorito's eyes widened that why that's why I can't control the I would be anymore not because there are two inside me but because his chakra is unbalanced in the seal so when I use it I'm actually disturbing the Jutsu Naruto gripped his hair tightly but this is bad the cashi Sensei I can't control the caoi so we can't help put the seal back together he said in a panic wait with Sakura put her hands out as if literally halting the conversation to cais you have two cais inside you yeah I thought that's why I couldn't control it but but this makes way more sense Naruto almost whispered does this mean he looked up to Kakashi the unspoken words lay clearly in his eyes is this real Bashi sighed looking at the floor I don't know zakura shook her head disbelievingly no no this has to be real there are other people here and if Sask felt the Jutsu beginning to fail then that means he'd have to be in the jinjutsu so how would that work if it was a jinjutsu he wouldn't notice thehi looked up to her unless our conscience is trying to tell us something if this is truly all in our heads then that means we have to wake up no this isn't Just a Dream Kakashi Sensei this is our life we built this so perfectly this time Naruto argued I'm not waking up from it even if it is a dream Sakura looked on silently as Kakashi and Naruto continued to heavily talk her world was literally falling apart if what Kakashi was thinking was true and Naruto couldn't control the cao's chakra then the world would slowly end unless they woke up she furred her brows as Naruto continued to raise his voice and Kakashi continued to raise his shut up she said quietly at first shut up she yelled grabbing their attention stop yelling Bashi nodded taking a Deep Breath shek's Right Naruto there's no need for panicking Naruto shook his head sharply there's a perfectly good reason to panic if this world is falling apart my parents will be gone Sask will be dead I shouldn't even be alive it's my nightmare's reality I'm not going to wake up he yelled stubbornly disregarding Sakura's request H if you won't wake up then I will Kakashi said quietly Sakura's eyes widened Sensei you know what that would mean don't you he said Bashi looked up raised ing his hand to his headband both nuto and Sakura hadn't noticed their sensei's headband back in its original position but it went unset as Kakashi gripped it tightly pulling it off of his head and throwing it to the ground revealing the red piercing glare of the Sharingan I know exactly what it means he said Sakura raised her fingers to the seal on her forehead her breath hitched and it seems Sakura does too Kakashi continued both of us have out original bodies because we've accepted the fact somehow I think our conscious us telling us to wake up and it seems both of us have realized nuto fur at his brows looking at Sakura then to Kakashi so why haven't you nuto shikimo looked at the blank-faced nuto in front of him not a single word coming from his mouth not a single flicker of the eyes it seemed out of the three of them he was the most lost in his mind he just slumped in the metal chair something he's been sitting in for years and stared through the Nar in front of him his eyes were bloodshot his chin stubbled and His Hands rough and dry Naruto Shikamaru said can you understand me trying to look into his eyes shikima leaned closer only to find that nuto continued to stare lifelessly it was truly frightening narasama a voice came from the speaker above them he hasn't talked ever what makes you think HEK talk now Shikamaru glared at the table he laid his hands on please he groaned standing up and walking towards the metal door he reached for the handle and walked out of the room looking fiercely at the Ambu ninja standing where the button to the speaker activation was don't make this any more troublesome hi the Ambu nodded of course Hokage Sama why is shikamaru's Hokage well who else would be his lazy ass needs a job after all anyway I know this chapter is shorter as many are becoming sorter sadly I thought it needed to end here it's my usual excuse hope you enjoyed loveely sh chapter 18 thanks for reading here's the next chapter chapter 17 one cannot be changed by force arguments are pointless on those who are stubborn enough to argue back for their opinions won't change no matter how much proof you may have if one comes to the realization on their own then their eyes will be open to see what's suround them and with an open hand they will be led to an endless Paradise I won't force you to see I will wait for you to come with Open Hands then I will guide you through the darkness that you've drowned in stealing is not moral it is an illegal act so stealing someone's thoughts the way they are is no different from stealing an object you may not change someone a person can change themselves for if you attempted you'd be a theft of ity and Imperfections imperfections can be lessons we're tied through our sin and our Brokenness I will wait until you hold me but if they fail to see do not blame yourself for trying for your hand has been extended this whole time wasn't it their choice to let go and fall and as their presence Fades your hand grows cold waiting anxiously for the Judgment Day to warm you are you damned for being a coward or praised for being patient you fall and I cry the guilt consumes and I become no less or more than the monster inside what are you guys even talking about Naruto asked looking back and forth between his friends and would you throw your headband to the ground Kakashi Sensei kashi's eyes widened you you don't see it he asked bewildered his hand touched his eye tracing his scar zakura looked at Naruto tilting her head in confusion Naruto don't play dumb even I see it what am I supposed to see Kakashi's eyes it's not like I haven't seen them every day he said Crossing his arms defiantly I think you guys are going crazy Kakashi put your headband back on and Sakura stop trying to make me look stupid a narut held his head rubbing the forming bump Baka that's Kakashi Sharingan can't you see it I've even got the seal on my forehead smartass she pointed to her forehead forcefully hopefully she knocked some sense into him with that blow her cheeks read and punch sakur and Nudo whined you're so mean he looked up to see Sakura and Kakashi looked down at him seriously There Eyes neither playful or angry almost mystified he scratched the back of his head trying to forget about the throb pain Sakura had given him what's the matter guys he doesn't see it he can't see it is he seriously that convinced in this fake World Kakashi's eyes widened out of all of them he was the one who couldn't see it nuto please you've got to realize that this world isn't real anymore it's falling apart this world is perfectly fine if anything it's you who is falling apart I mean come on sakuran you agree with me right Naruto defended himself looking to Sakura only to find her staring strangely back at him Sakura man no nuto he isn't crazy he's telling the truth come on you were the one who casted the Jutsu so you should be able to tell if it's falling apart just open your eyes she pleaded only to have nuto turn around no I'd rather live this if it isn't painful if it isn't lonely then I'll take fake he walked towards the door leaving behind his two teammates no his thoughts consisted of that one word as if he was falling from Paradise spiraling down straight for the pits of hell why would this happen why would the world play Such cruel tricks he grabbed his hair now running full Sprint to wherever there was nothing he was running for nothing nothing was the only thing that could fix his raging mind no what was the point in living for this anymore he wasn't blind he saw his Sensei scar he saw Sakura's forehead he even felt the twist in his gut from the taunting seal of the nine tals on his stomach for the first time in 17 years he felt utterly alone he felt abandoned he felt betrayed tricked fooled he felt like he was the only one in the world wasn't there any hope even in the fake was being blind the only way to survive without the ache without the anxiety without the depression what was life anymore without everything he worked for he found himself collapsed in the forest fisting the grass pulling for answers he flipped to his back looking at the endless guy no he closed his eyes and pretended that nothing happened but the faces of his friends of his family all faded away why he asked sitting up throwing the grass in his hands to the sky why what's the point in this chaos he yelled punching the dirt below him what's the damn point in it where is the piece at the end of this [ __ ] War he yelled like a deprived child at the top of his lungs only to find his echo's reply as he felt his eyes tear up he desperately tried to push them back down but his throat hardened as if a rock was stuck a rock raw of emotion a choke sop erupted from his mouth and when he tried to quiet his heating head he felt noises clog in his ears only hearing his reluctant cries fall dears there had been too many in his life damn it he cursed letting his arms fall to the ground below his body following damn it all he whispered closing his steaming eyes letting them burn his eyelids he didn't know how long he stayed like that foot steps were heard behind him and half of him wanted to get up and walk away but his body refused as the footstep stopped just above him he let the shadow linger over his body as if it were a blanket of warmth in the coldness he lived in it was quiet for a moment letting unspoken words wander around the atmosphere be you saw it didn't you Sakura's quiet voice came through splitting the silence Like a Knife you can feel it ending arudo turned his back towards her holding his knees close to him his head still laying on the grass so what I've felt it for a while now he admitted I just didn't want to believe it zakura gave a weak chuckle believe it a wasn't it your nindo Baka she said letting her body fall next to his well nuto we'll get through it believe it she mumbled it just loud enough for him to hear she heard a sniff from her blonde teammate and the rustling of the grass as his body turned around to meet hers she saw his red face his bloodshot eyes and his dark blue eyes his face lifted from the ground part of his hair sticking in strange directions from its previous position and he leaned towards her their faces now inches the part when he saw her eyes not leaving his own he let his forehead fall to her own trying to resist the urge to kiss it letting his breath even its heaves Saar Rich Anne he whispered flicking his eyes from one of her green orbs to the next um she mumbled back almost inaudible will you stay with me he asked her heart skipped and her answer was almost immediate through Helen Back his eyes lit up his hands raising to her Rose tinted cheeks and he let his lips capture hers and as if the fake world around them stopped as if the falling Paradise slowed as if the awaiting hell stepped back he felt the pain and the aching inside him subside for a single moment when their lips brushed so be it he whispered raising his mouth to gently kiss her forehead so be it if the World falls apart when you're there to awake to when he lowered his head to be eye level with a cherry blossom he saw her glassy eyes and his heart stopped sakuran I am sorry if you didn't she didn't care she didn't think she didn't rationalize she just leaned into him letting her lips sloppily meet his and her arms wrap around his neck their bodies falling as one into the ground of their failing world she smiled against his mouth so be it Shikamaru shuffled through old files searching for an answer if his friends randomly start speaking writing communicating it was a huge deal this would open doors to their minds something not even Eno could do his hands folded under his chin looking down at the crumbled and scrambled papers he wasn't ever one for organization but messes were Troublesome he took in a deep breath was there even anything to it or was this just another strange happening in an unpredictable world as he opened the drawer under his desk he put the shuffled papers back inside he didn't care where they went he had too much to figure out as he stood up making his way way to the door his eyes wandered to the picture on his shelf the one of Kohan the rookies of the generation a smile graced his lips remembering their innocence and the joy it brought them as well as the troubles it forced them to face was it right for him to want to go back in time he scoffed like that's possible be rational Baka he reached for the handle to the door making his way to his house he didn't take the Hokage Mansion large houses were too Troublesome and everyone would know where he lived he picked a remote area near the back of koha close to one of the largest Oaks in the area the leaves that fell in his front yard during full were Troublesome but the oak was worth it he would lay under it when the sky was clear of clouds and the breeze would let the leaves sing their peaceful song during this time he could let everything go he shoved his hands into his pockets and made his way down the koha road he had brought a level of sophistication to the land of the Hidden leaves creating a new generation that was proving to rival their own but not yet he gave a chuckle maybe it was their own kids who'd strike as the next Cano nine rookies however his face fell knowing the generation would never be complete without a loud mouth blonde and his pink-haired companion it was a shame that they lost their minds if they even had a mind to lose in the first place after the war they had become more and more empty perhaps it was true perhaps Shinobi could never have peace because they were a constant War be it mental or physical when he reached his porch he let the air around him settle and he opened his front door walking inside you know he called setting the few files he had brought on the table by the door are you home yet it was 3:00 and usually she'd finished her work at the hospital by now she wasn't working at the flower shop today it was a Thursday she worked there on Fridays and Saturdays he awaited for her reply and lazily made his way to the cter sorry I'll be down in a second I'm finishing a medical report she called back after a minute he nodded understanding though he knew she couldn't see him yelling back was too much work he grabbed the paper on the cold counter and began to read it but his scanning was disrupted when screams erupted from the village he dropped the paper running towards the window his eyes widening at what he saw there in all its Glory stood the caoi amam he mumbled youo get to cover and as if history was repeating itself he got ready for battle seems I'm riding faster and faster now I'm not sure when the next chapter will release as usual sadly but be happy you got this one as fast as you did oh and to clear something up that I thought about in the real world the time is just just a little more forward so it may be a couple days ahead but the fake one to align things up don't worry it shouldn't mess you up if you didn't know I just thought it was worth mentioning anyw thanks for reading is my spelling and grammar getting better by chance I'm still not rereading my chapters hope you enjoyed it don't be shy to ask questions or tell me what you thought you guys keep me going love you all loveer e chapter 19 thanks for the reviews sorry if my spelling continues to be unbalanced I suppose I should reread my stories however I'm writing the full story and then going to bait it but I've yet to finish a story and I'd rather not give up on one because I became bored of the baiting so there's hope yet Sherry I Lish Sher she finish a story inner Sherry ha that's a good one Sherry sorry for the late update and for late night crazy talking to myself chapter 18 it's hard to watch your world when you took so long to create to mold to live just fall apart as if fire rained down rubble shot into the sky screams and cries echoed Shikamaru stood in the destruction the caoi stood there a menacing grin on his snout his claws scraping at the hard ground below it was pure fear Pure Evil and Shikamaru had no other words for it oage the low bellowing of the caoi Was Heard Shikamaru running outside the safety of his home and charging towards the overgrown Fox forced himself to swallow his fear IUI he whispered inaudible clenching his fists heed watched as Citizens and low-ranking ninja helplessly ran as a few Jan ones who didn't know of the cao's Wrath stayed with prideful stances as Village the leaf his home he wasn't going to let it get destroyed IUI the shadow user launched at the nine-tailed fox his hands forming a sign you're not going to hurt this Village and as those words left his mouth his eyes met the red beady merciless and deadly eyes of his enemy damn it this fear at swallowing me whole Nar brat the caoi let loose a low chuckle are you the faithful sixth oage a lazy ass La you and another sh eating grin appeared on the monster's face oh it' bring me a bit of joy to watch you actually work to fight against me however the caoi shrinking its size became to be no bigger than akamu I mustn't get distracted from my goal shikamaru's eyes furrowed the caoi was restraining itself from killing he knew of nutk caoi but that was all because of the bond they shared not because the caoi had come onto even terms with Humanity No in fact there were multiple time during the war that Shikamaru thought they couldn't hold a drop of Hope for the nine Tales and yet there had sat peacefully what do you want theara asked nah you should be more formal you're talking to a demon after all chamu gave a low moan of annoyance I don't have time for a petty chitchat Fox what's it you want the caoi side fine I am the caoi that is sealed inside Naruto uzamaki I've come here into this reality to fix what my stupid vessel and his friends decided to screw up I come here to discuss the return of a Kakashi Haruno Sakura and uzamaki nuto shikamaru's eyes widened what was he getting at what do you mean they've never left the village after the war just what are they returning from exactly the few Jan and who had stuck around could be heard Whispering gossip around the area ah physically no they've not but it seems their minds have and Naruto used my chakra to form an ultimate form of jinjutsu something you can never wake up from the caoi informed it's called tooni chiku's eyes instantly widened that's a forbidden Jutsu what the hell did they do all those years ago he questioned his old companions his thoughts continuing to race until the caiu spoke again they know it's a fake World thus it's falling apart I'm afraid they can't stop it from happening it said well that's good they'll wake up when the jinjutsu fails Shikamaru said with suspicion knowing that would be too easy haui shook its head no I'm afraid that is not the case naraka the level of this jinjutsu had takes so much of the mind and the heart that if they were to die in that World their bodies would shut down and die in this world there was silence between the two for a moment nothing passing but the breeze so why are you telling me this Shikamaru finally spoke up IUI shook its head in bewilderment boy are you stupid it snarled obviously to wake them up Baka well I'm sorry you're such a vague godamn Fox he yelled back taking a deep breath he looked at the caoi in the eyes so what do I do IUI sat up straight as if Superior in every way his eyes squinting to slits bring them to together the Beast began if they are in each other's presence then the power of the seal on the jinjutsu will weaken when it's weak the chakra nuto controlling from the rest of me that sealed inside will begin to flow obsessively inside him causing a disturbance in their world but that won't help them awaken will it no but it'll be the first tick shikamaru's eyes widened tick nuto will feel it he'll know the chakra is unbalanced the seal will begin to appear at the edge of koha where the world barrier is CA be informed that is where he can undo the J JSU shikima nodded so it's all up to them is it but what about the second tick you said first so I'm only assuming so it seems you've got something between those big ears of yours Naran the caoi laughed the second tick will come when he decides to touch the seal his mind will reboot itself and cause him to slightly seize in reality seize are you kidding but it'll obviously be obvious enough for a DI would like you to notice so I doubt you'll miss it when he does you mustn't let them leave each other they must stay within 5T of one another no more no less not even an inch goded chamu gave a slow and steady nod yeah easy enough I'll summon myself again and create the third tick and what will that be the Nara asked I will be smirked you should trust me Nara soon you'll see with that the caoi vanished Shikamaru continued to stand in front of the remaining Shinobi behind him he sighed irritably damn Fox no wonder Tade was a drunk Hokage is just too Troublesome she woke up from a shiver racking her body her hands reached to cover her arms to warm herself only to notice they were restricted under normal circumstances she get peeved and yank her fingers from whoever held them but as her drowsy mind came to speed she remembered what she was doing and where she was she was still outside the Starry Sky above them and as she turned to see blonde hair from the man who held her she didn't feel the need to get warmer she squirmed in his hold so she was facing him her hands gently removed themselves from his grasp as she moved them to hold his sleeping face letting her head Lean Forward she rested her forehead on his a gentle smile playing on her lips Nudo she whispered her head falling to The Nook of his neck the pink-headed shobi felt his arm slowly rise to cradle her but it seemed he was still asleep sakuran he whispered she sighed and pulled herself from his grasp realizing they couldn't stay out here all night she sat up leaning back on her hands for support she boldly nudged him with her foot trying to wake him up however it was without success he tugged on her foot and pulled her awkwardly closer ug nuto she groaned his eyes flickered open trailing her leg up towards her head wait what sackur Rich Anne he furrowed his eyebrows until realization struck as sakuran his eyes widened and he leaped forward his hands on either side of her shoulders sakuran you you kissed me he said childishly a sparkling grin plastered on his features she gave him an annoyed look pink on her cheeks why yes I did he bobbed his head playfully above her and you're not punching me then no promises Baka she glared at him her face reing he leaned closer to her his eyes never leaving her own as his lips lightly brushed hers once more there was silence again and it seemed as if words were overrated as they continued to gaze at each other memorizing the New Perspective her timid voice shook the fragile air around them th this what this is it's real isn't it he looked at her puzzled why wouldn't it be because she continued reaching out to touch each of his cheeks because this world isn't he looked at her with such determination it almost frightened her but my feelings are real sakuran she sighed I know they are it's just are yours the question was so blunt it was hard for her to reply right away and when she registered what he was asking she paused and looked past him uncomfortable he came closer to her his eyes hard sakuran please answer me she let her hands fall to her side cold she took in a shaky breath I you can't toy with me anymore Sakura I I can't I'm not toying with you she said looking back into his eyes tears brimming her Emerald orbs his were so blue yet so warm it was strange I'm not playing with your feelings nuto I never was it's just well what I feel now is real I know it is he didn't relax then what's the problem he asked what if I wake up and I still love him he froze his body became ice in that moment him he didn't move and his eyes left hers lingering over her body for a moment and then up to her lips do you love him now he asked she shook her head he was still avoiding ey contact did you love him when we left she Shrugged her shoulders a lump forming in her throat I don't know what I thought then she admitted but do you love him now he repeated and again without hesitation she shook her head no her voice was firm confident his eyes finally met her own and slowly he leaned down closer to her then trust in yourself okay sacar Rich Anne he said he let his lips linger so close to her own his eyes still lazily looking at her when he saw her nod a single tear leaving her eyes ey he quickly whipped it away she found herself wrapped in his arms again her lips on his and again they danced sorry this was so late it's not a lack of inspiration just motivation I suppose anyway hope it was worth the wait lisher e chapter 20 hey guys before I start this chapter please check out my newest AMV Link in my profile so I am I have no excuse except that I fell of a cliff and had no fingers to type with imperante all the Naruto characters look like they do in the Naruto last movie look up the sketches if you haven't seen them and their reality of course chapter 19 where are the boundaries of lying if everything in this world is so black and white then how can we truly say that there are excuses are excuses just that exceptions or are they simply our mind trying to write our wrongs lying is clearly a sin so how can we justify one even if it is for the greater good we cannot justify lying and if all sin is equal then even the smallest lie would be murder then there are no exceptions I wait for the day for someone to stand face to face with fate and honorably defeated by trusting in a force greater than humanity vdar is in the seal that's the reason it's failing not because of me nuto I may be inconvenient at times but I wouldn't ruin an entire world that you created demon or not you'll have to face this problem when you wake up B them 5T away don't interfere chiko shook his head he was the Hokage for heaven sake and taking orders from nutk belly friend but if this could wake up his old friends then it was worth risking his own life he would risk his life for anyone in his village he was Hokage that was part of it he took in a deep breath running his hand down his face lazily letting his inhaled air go out his lungs through his throat turning to a puff of gas in the cold air koha was slowly going down it wasn't because he was a horrible Hokage he hoped but because there wasn't much life people were affected by the hero of the Hidden Leaf's disappearance and it seemed they may finally get the spark back into koha Shikamaru what the hell was that Shikamaru turned around to see Kiba with aamu at his side are you still stupid he asked blandly squinting his eyes at the inuzuka it was the caoi dumbass akamaru barked his fur still bristled from the ninet tales presence nah aren't you in a pissy mood Kiba said Crossing his arms you have no idea was shikamaru's reply as he walked off he searched for the uzamaki Haruno and hadik probably wondering aimlessly about in The Quiet Village although nuto was already with the amboo from his earlier encounter with a blonde perhaps he should send ambo after them he still had a lot of paperwork to do and with the nine Tales randomly popping up he'd probably get a lot of questions damn it how is he going to explain this as he approached the Hokage doors he opened them to find Eno sitting on some of the waiting chairs Shikamaru Eno stood up rushing over to him to think you'd actually tell me to hide while you went to confront the caoi she yelled irritated at her husband he raised his eyebrows in Surprise tucking his hand securely into his pockets I'm actually surprised you listened and didn't confront him yourself he said well her anger vanished her eyes darting to the floor well I have more to think about um Shikamaru tilted his head confused it wasn't a rare sight his wife could be hard to read at times listen I wasn't going to say anything because it's a little too early to tell for sure and if it even she lifted her eyes gazed to her husband's expectant stare he chuckled I don't think I've seen you out a lose for words before well it's a little hard to say she complained punching his shoulder sighed rubbing where her fist had connected well then what is it if it made you actually listen to me it's got to be a big deal yeah she mumbled laying her forehead on his chest I'm pregnant be fur it his brows he couldn't quite hear that last part you're going to have to repeat that last part Eno she lifted her head to meet his eyes you're going to be a dad Shikamaru and that part he heard he was good at absorbing information no matter how outrageous it was so this was no different he understood what she said clearly however with a slight raise of his eyebrows he continued to stare at his wife without muttering but one word having a kid this meant more responsibility after all he wasn't going to be a bad father was he and what did she mean by too early to tell how far along was she wait if he was going to be a father what would come first oage The Village or his child it wasn't the fact that he was going to be a father that caused the words to leave his mouth it was just a lot to think about he desperately hoped it wouldn't slip he really did but it just did troublesome her eyes widened and she debated whether to hit him or kill him W what did you say she whispered angrily immediately shik's eyes widened and no no I didn't mean it's not Troublesome I it's just I mean he scrambled for Words looking at her desperately I love you he tried and without success he took in a deep breath and then released it letting his head fall back damn it sometimes life was unpredictable he didn't like that no matter how amazing the news was it meant he didn't have a response she had curled into a ball small and compacted and her nose was almost touching his chest Naruto she smiled briefly at the memories of their conversation their touches she then realized quite suddenly that it was still dark outside perhaps early morning she looked at the sky carefully shifting in his arms no she corrected herself the moon was in the middle of the sky but why did it feel like they were laying there forever arudo stirred and she became still as if a deer caught in headlights she hadn't thought about him waking up because she was positive he fell asleep again and actually having to talk to him after that she looked at him again her eyes falling to the corner watching him from her peripheral view it wasn't that she regretted it but actually talking about it would be weird maybe they didn't have to talk about it he pulled her unconsciously closer to his body letting out a breath of air through his nose and placing his chin at top her head I know you're awake he whispered beginning to rub her back she was still crunched into a ball her feet not quite touching his knees but I don't want to open my eyes he finished taking another large breath and why is that she asked reaching out to distract herself with the zipper of his jacket because I'm scared you won't be there when they open he said honestly it was scary sometimes she concluded how blunt he was with things she sighed a laugh well I'm pretty sure I can't teleport she said moving her head from below his neck to meet him face to face she hesitated for a moment as his eyes were still closed before lightly brushing her lips on his own but you really should k as Sensei is probably wondering where we've been she whispered foreheads touching he wh like a child opening his eyes only to scan her face for sincerity then closed them again but it's still dark outside can't we wait until tomorrow he asked moving his forehead from her own to gently kiss it no we can't she smiled enjoying the moment because the Moon's still in the exact same place as it was when we first got here she said and how long have we been in the same spot he pulled away sitting up and she suddenly felt cold for while he admitted right she crossed her arms over her chest sitting up as well so we probably should go see what's going on she said if this world she took a deep breath if this world is fake and we're finally realizing it then time might be failing as well he nodded okay let's go find Kakashi Sensei and see what's going on as they stood up him offering her his hand they froze when they heard a voice and it was all too familiar so it seems you finally opened your eyes yamaki they turned to the source watching wide died as the hazy vision of Madar cha flickered in front of them it's too bad though I've already gained control what are you doing here he asked stiff and cold this isn't your world oh but it is do you really believe Kakashi just happened to find that scroll you could say it was a gift from yours truly I figured you'd want to have a second go at your horrible life so that was the prize for beating me he cocked his head sideways but it comes with a hefty fee and if you weren't so obsessed with fixing things perhaps you would have realized it was too good to be true so Sakura's eyes brimmed with tempted tears it is allig and Jutsu Madara shook his head slowly not quite I'm dead still am dead in fact but you see the power of Revenge is far greater than you can imagine my presence haunted that wretched world and so I had the time to watch observe see everything you did and I was surprised to see you regretted obtaining a non- thriving world one with peace and prosperity so I gave a little boost for you guys that time traveling scroll it was you who casted it know that but it was I who came and is an extra fourth member not the caoi the Runk eyes widened youi spat but I've got the caoi inside me the seals even there no that's my own doing by altering your vision the CAO is not controlling this Jutsu the Beast was forced to leave your body the moment you entered this alternate reality and my presence took its place I am not a ghost nor Spirit simply a lingering nightmare in your own mind he grinned something so terrifying both nuto and Sakura choked on the air around them then that demon will be your undoing black the blonde yelled this world might not be real but you're not controlling it we came here waited 5 years to remember and relived our lives even if it was fake I know our feelings will be the same when we come back he took a large inhale so don't tell me that was all you he growled if it wasn't all me and wasn't the caoi then who nuto was it Madara asked almost hissing nuto shook frustrated and angry I don't know as his anger spiked madara's image began to intensify his presence no longer hazy but truly visible yes that's it get angry that seems to solve problems well for you zakura pulled her hand from his and shook his shoulder Naruto stop listen to me it's not him it's not Madara she pulled her hands from him giving a short whimper his shoulders were blazing hot how dare you come in here and ruin everything it is all your fault everything is your fault he yelled outraged zakura desperately looked between the two Madara becoming more visible with every Angry breath the blonde took Naruto you need to stop heun's not controlling it he's toying with you you're you're toying with yourself she said you're making him real nuto it's it's you she realized taking a step back she thought back looking to the Moon it seemed to have moved a bit then did it stop because nuto was controlling the time was he controlling this place it would explain a lot it did explain his Knack at becoming so strong and him losing control of the caoi Udi betrayal sas's Redemption the A's Redemption this was all literally Naruto's dream world and he was controlling it all so that's what Madara meant by Nightmare Nudo she pleaded watching him flare with red chakra it's a dream a link dream she whispered being a medic she learned a lot about psychology in the cases of hospitalized patients convincing their body of injuries she remembered reading of people living in dreams confusing reality with their unconscious mind their dreams were their lives and reality was only a dream at that scroll launched them all into nutk head and he had only convinced himself that it was time travel therefore resulting in their past events but how could nuto calm down Madara was obviously feeding him lies purely on Instinct she grabbed his shoulders again resisting the heat Naruto you need to stop heun not real this world's no real calm down because I am real and you are real and Kakashi Sensei is real so you need to calm down and stop so we can get out of this her eyes blazed with determination she didn't know she had staring him in the eyes they were fogged and raged n g h he blinked looking down at her sauran she smiled the heat slowly fading yeah she nodded a few tears slipping down her cheeks yeah that's right and in a single moment everything around them faded Madara the anger the Heat and it was calm again he slumped and fell into her hold burrowing his head into her neck I if it's a dream then why can't I wake up she just stood with him and shook her head don't worry we'll figure this out there we go finally done with this freaking chapter sorry if it's confusing tell me if there are any mistakes in the plot or if you're just plain confused I may edit it if it's incomprehensible so it seems narina is Canon though it's upsetting considering the last chapter seems super rushed and not very thorough I won't complain too much however I continue to support narusaku sorry P I literally have only watched nuto to get the Naraku moments oh well there's always fairy tale thanks for reading guys loveer chapter 21 perhaps you guys don't understand the point of this story it's not time travel and never was meant to be time travel and perhaps you don't read very Key Parts to many of my chapters if you go back to number eight chapter 7 and read it you'll see the biggest foreshadow in the history of foreshadowing if you don't care to go back to chapter 7 and read the first paragraph you don't have to but it proves I'm not just trolling you guys entirely P special thanks to Squad third seat for entertaining reviews XD thanks and keep reading and I might be insane when I say this but I think Kishi is going to do something with narusaku things just aren't lining up to me so if that means closing it off correctly or not I don't know chapter 20 is it possible to reach Perfection or do we instead strive to see it in all the imperfections must one deposit their own heart to the war must one feel pain of loss in every gain must one love for a night only to wake up to reality once more as if selling their bodies people share their stories and with no cup to hold the leaks of a swollen heart it covers the ground like blood will we come further up and further in or will we sink and get caught up in the net bound with pity and pride like a moth we are drawn to the light touching it only to die is it possible to reach Perfection or do we instead strive to see it in all the imperfections but I can't talk to them nuto insisted grabbing the ends of his hair they're fake and I can't deal with that he sighed leaning back against the wall of his apartment Emy he whispered lonely and shallow zakura watched him normally he stayed with his parents but he had gotten an apartment for himself for many reasons one being crap like this nuto even though she's not real you can't just not talk to them if you created this dream then then you're going to have to face your own Creations come on to even terms with your unconscious that's probably our ride out of dear Kakashi said they had gotten him shortly after the encounter with Madara and gone back to nito's place I'm sure the people outside are figuring it out too he added aruto looked sideways his profile facing them with furrowed brows he stared at the wall across from him what of Sask how will I come to terms with him he asked almost bitterly not because of what his friend did but because of the irony of the situation sakuru gave an encouraging smile maybe you've already come to terms with him she walked over to him leaning against the wall alongside the blonde After all you've grown up with him again maybe all you've got to do is face the real past with him she said he nodded looking back at her thanks he mumbled hesitantly moving closer only to stop and awkwardly place his head against the wall no longer facing her theam Kakashi raised his eyebrows watching his student back to the main point my biggest question is how they all are functioning independently Kakashi said rubbing the back of his head in thought if we're in Naruto's Dreamland sacur began then it'll have the ripples of everything we do think about it when you dream you're still surprised it happened inside it your unconscious is directing everything as if it were a puppet show and this is no different nuto scrunched his face that's confusing to think about zakura ignored him and that's why you can't control your dream because you're unaware of it you're uncons is controlling it I didn't realize you could make a fully functioning Society inside someone's mind Kakashi drawled hinted with sarcasm Sakura waved her finger the mind is a powerful tool she glanced at Naruto seemingly listening to the conversation she could tell though no matter how convincing that his mind was elsewhere Naruto she said his head swiveling towards her once more you're going to have to face some people in this dream otherwise your subconscious will never be at ease burito sighed looking up at Kakashi what about you the blonde spoke don't you have some teammate to face my dad you're dad he asked the cashy sighed as much as I hate to admit it I've come to terms with my teammates before we ever time traveled it's true I murdered Ren and it's true abido saved my life in exchange for his and it's true my Sensei died in the hands of the demon fox in the hands of aido he let his eyes fall towards the window Naruto once look outside of but such is the life of a ninja I suppose sakuru grabbed nut's hand this is your dream nuto even if we try to make means with others it's not our mind that controlling it he nodded I know it's just hard to wrap my mind around in her room reading a book and calmly laying on her bed was Emy training with abido was great but way more tiring even if she was the daughter of the Hokage she sat up it was early in the morning training would be happening in about an hour and her brother hadn't come home all night he wasn't on a mission he would have mentioned that probably bragged about it she took in a deep breath their brother was strange but lately he'd been acting really strange her mom said it was simply because he was doing some tough training but kha had never been a good liar even her dad was on edge and that was surprising manado was usually so calm so collected there was something up and she wasn't sure how to deal with it exactly she didn't even know what it was it was as if her mind could only think so much before nothing as she ran her hand down her face straightening her jacket she stood up walking into the kitchen there was a note on the counter hey sis I stopped stopped by really quickly don't worry about me I'm just at my own apartment finally I've been busy lately so if I can I'll stop by later to say hi there's been some things I wanted to talk to you about anyway sorry if I worried you but don't worry your big Bros a strong dude after all an saak ANS keeping close tabs on me no matter what I love you future Hokage it was strange to say the least there were droplet stains on the paper Y and though she knew it it was weird to see I love you in a letter so simple as this besides what did he want to talk about and what's this don't worry about me crap she wasn't worried about him entirely now she might be however she was worried about the situation and this letter only confirmed her suspicions something was definitely going on and she was going to get to the bottom of it walking outside the door she set out to find her brother shikimo looked from the window into the interrogating room where the three Shinobi said the flicker of the flame danced in the dull reflection his face barely visible Naruto Sakura and Kakashi all of them were right there in front of them and that was all he was instructed to do bring them together the nine Tales had said that they would seize when they decided to touch the seal whatever that meant he turned from the observing window and nodded to the Ambu who stood close by keep watch tell me if anything happens goded he commanded not even waiting for a reply as he walked outside he noticed it was still clouded outside a gray Hue seemed to cling to the Village it was unusual weather for the year but he didn't think about it much his mind was preoccupied with other things like awaking his friends becoming a dad a dad he couldn't help it when his lips tugged down he truly wanted to be a father in his life marry be a successful Shinobi have a kid teach him about the Shinobi ways but the thought was daunting being a father meant being in charge of a life am Min life not just his wife and himself anymore shaking his head of the thoughts he looked up to notice he had already reached his house reaching for the door knob he opened the door normally at this time of day Eno would be in the kitchen cooking or sitting on the couch perhaps after all she got off work before he did seeing as he almost never got off of work he would go to his office like he was supposed to today but since he sort of left things open-handed with his wife and their child he probably should talk to her to tell her more specifically what he was thinking but she wasn't anywhere he couldn't feel her chakra in the house you know he called even though he was positive she wasn't home probably got stuck at the hospital the thought almost made his stomach turned she was pregnant why was she working he hadn't even taken off his coat yet so all he had to do was turn around and walk out but he didn't he didn't know why but he didn't he remembered Eno telling him to not use logic all the time that some situations required an Untouchable Faith even imagination it wasn't that he wasn't imaginative he was but he lets logic Trump imagination but on pure Instinct he hung his coat up approaching the stairs to go into their room as soon as he planted his foot on the first step there was a shuffle from the way above him quickly rushing up the stairs he shoved open the door Eno he shouted looking for her he didn't know why he was so nervous but something was eating at him Eno he called again looking from corner to corner but nothing the window blinds flew up from the wind outside the storm must be picking up he thought he rushed to the window only to realize a scroll had been stabbed just at the sill dangling in the breeze his body tensed his thoughts invaded by irrationality he ripped a scroll from its hold opening it it forcefully and scanning over it congratulations are in order Hokage so congratulations however we have our own surprise for you just how far will you go to get your wife back and your unborn child [ __ ] Shikamaru cursed throwing the scroll to the ground how the hell were they able to capture Eno quietly she was a j and one of the best ninja of koha so who was he dealing with was Eno actually captured was this simply to rile him up hell it could be Eno getting back at him after all there was no side of a struggle nothing pointed to an actual kidnapping but then what was that Scurry what the hell was the Scurry earlier and less Shikamaru turned around practically falling to the ground and crawling Towards the bed looking under the wooden frame his eyes widened the hairs on the back of his neck Rose there under the bed just in the shadows the remaining piece of a sleep gas bomb sleeping gas wasn't in koha they hadn't developed the technology correctly the only people who used sleep gas were the sound and robbers or assassins often bought weapons from The Sound Village picking up a little piece of metal a small clip-like thing he shoved it into his pocket and twiddling it between his fingers she was put to sleep probably while taking a rest or even gazing out the window the image of Eno sitting on the edge of the bed as she always does looking out the window contently it pulled at his heartstrings this was all happening too fast and nothing made sense how was someone even able to get inside of this place amboo were almost constantly scouting it bamboo Bamboo often traveled to the sound they also took leftover weapons from the bodies of enemy ninja seeing how they were made even duplicating them this was the U he knew it was them it made sense coming in without much hesitation probably sneaking up on Eno and the baby the baby damn it he swore he'd get to the bottom of this aruto walked alongside Sakura his hand daring to take hold of her small and delicate one not delicate he corrected himself destructive he chuckled quietly enjoying his thought process watch laughing about Sakura questioned looking up at him he looked at her a growing grin on his face just thinking Sakura shook her head that's not good she mused nah sakuran y mean nuto flipped his grin into frown quickly turning back towards the road he let his thoughts wander again thinking go what had been happening the past few well hours if this was all his dream then what were the other people memories what he looked down at Sakura again and she must have felt his stare because she looked back up to him once more what she asked a bit tentatively well he started using his other hand to catch the back of his head I was just thinking about these people are they memories they can't be if they function on their own so what are they I don't know ideas Inspirations epiphanies I'm surprised you know that word Sakura teases but the tease didn't last long she furred her brows as she soaked in what he was asking I suppose they'd be your subconscious you can't control your subconscious and no one can so they must be reflections of your subconscious so there there all me his eyes widened in shock as he gazed indulgently at the people walking around that's ridiculous he said Sakura scoffed well it's only an idea I'm not sure if I'm actually right it was silent for a moment and he took the time to look back at her a large smirk growing on his features you know he said coming to a stop leaning closer to Sakura as if she were prey what she quietly replied he continued to get closer and closer looking over her from her eyes to her lips but not daring to go below her neckline Naruto she whispered sharply trying to get his attention his smirk was steady as he lowered his face down to hers slowly and yet gracefully capturing her lips they had only kissed a few times but he had seemed to memorize how they fit together Sakura at first was hesitant tense and a bit awkward she wasn't expecting to be so open about their predicament no predicament was the wrong word but at the moment it felt like one but when he pulled away he still wore that damn smirk if they're all my subconscious he be pressing his forehead to hers then they already know about this zakura rened and not exactly nuto the subconscious is something you can't control and the reflections know only what you want them to know and less directly told otherwise he leaned forward again kissing her I'm pretty sure I don't mind them knowing about this he whispered bring his hands to her face and gently rubbing her cheeks with his thumbs and here's another chapter not too long of a wait this time but I still apologize for the slow updates anyway thanks for reading guys don't forget to check out my amvs Lincoln profile lisher e chapter 22 it's been forever for a yes I realized this is in full chapter length however I didn't want to write this and then go back to the chapter's content so think of this as a really short chapter or special it explains a bit further on why Eno was captured and what not chapter 21 Shadows come from a casting light do they not without light there would be no darkness and without Darkness there would be no light troubles that you face today may come tomorrow but don't worry if you won the battle before then the troubl Shadows shrink no not shrink you grow you rise above the struggle merely an obstacle through struggle comes peace and from a casting light comes a shadow what the entail on the Hook's wife an Ambu officer asked his hands clasped behind his back as he stood above the kneeling Rogue she's captured sir unharmed but captured good the officer coughed out a response hardening his eyes through his mask you are not to hurt her understand we are not animals in the hidden Leaf if I may ask K9 sir why do you want the hokage's wife if you are not animals in koharu why did you take her won you get thrown into jail for this crime the ambo stiffened worse than that I doubt I'll leave the village ever again if I can keep my life however I'm fed up with a secrecy on the uzamaki and his teammates if the hero of the village is insane I'd like to know if so we've been putting our faith of a village hero and a Floy this entire time we'll see just how strong our new Village Hero is new yes the Nar is Hokage is he not let's see how far heun be willing to go but sir you know the Hokage personally yeah but this Village is in shambles I'm doing this for koha the old koha the one I grew up in Village seems in perfect health to me the Rogue side looking around at the outer well they were near the man side it's not the same you wouldn't understand Outsider now now wasn't it who sought me out for this just make sureo doesn't get hurt make one mark on her and you're dead understood the Ambu said turning around and beginning to head back towards the village the Rogue laughed looks like someone's got a soft spot for the homages girl doesn't surprise me after all she's quite the looker no promises on hurting her or the baby the amboo froze baby what he seed turning around did you just say the baby sir hadn't you heard it's wonderful news the Rogue stood up cross ing his arms a grin playing on his lips don't play games she is impregnant by chakra sensing abilities tell me otherwise [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] damn it the man turned around walking back to his home don't you dare Hur her he called before jumping back to the Village the Rogue scrunched his noise when the amboo had left that guy smells like dog disgusting the ambo member continued to walk the village streets making his way towards his home his plan was to get the H's wife ask a few questions then give her back now there was a baby involved and that Rogue he hired wasn't exactly open to listening to command either he isn't going to hurt her he thought looking at the ground as he walked the dirt passing under him as he finally came upon his home he took his key in his pocket and opened the door I'm back he yelled removing his mask and setting it on the coat rack by the door tumbling footsteps or perhaps Paws could be heard bounding down the hallway then one minute he found himself on the ground looking up to see his companion akamaru he grinned patting his head sorry I went out without you I had some stuff to deal with the whimper followed his voice and he looked at his dog nervously what have I gotten myself into this time he mumbled standing back up letun go for a walk akamaru aruto sat on the Park Bench Sakura at his side hands intertwined they watched half-minded as the kids that weren't truly there ran around it was a perfect day blue skies big clouds that were fluffy and white the Sun never quite beating down on them instead looming above warming them rather than cooking them it wasn't much of a change nuto realized when he was happy this was always the weather he looked down to his side where Sakura was leaning her head on his shoulder and he was very happy right now stop staring at me it's weird Sakura mumbled I can almost feel your eyes no can do sakur Chan you're just too pretty he grinned taking his eyes away and resting his head on top of hers she was glad he couldn't see her face not that she was blushing or anything she ignored her thoughts and continued to peacefully watch the park there you are n rudo and Sakura spun around on the bench looking at the voices owner I've been looking for you everywhere do you realize how crazy scared I was Mei Naro breathed watching her walk up to him her eyebrows were furrowed together as she spoke that note you left me was a bit dreary don't you think and what's the stuff you want to talk to me about their bombarded words almost made nuto want to curl up into a ball and never look at her again how on Earth could he face her anymore she wasn't real listen me it sort a heart too explain he looked into her eyes unconsciously squeezing Sakura's hand a little tighter but suddenly everything changed the mood the sky everything went dark the children scurried away from the park and the ground started to violently Shake Naruto gasped in Surprise and Sakura clung to the bench without taking her hand away from Naruto Naruto looked up to grab em and pull her to safety but when he looked up she just stood there watching him expectantly it feels like the world's falling apart and she's just watching he thought looking to Sakura what's wrong with her with everything Sakura's eyes were wide her face paler than normal have you ever awoken from a deep dream Naruto he Shrugged another raging surge shook the earth below them again sure everyone has but I never remember how he shouted the Earth's ground becoming louder and louder you're in the dream one moment then suddenly everything falls apart when you're in the REM stage you're dreaming but when you slowly drift out of it or begin to realize it's just a dream you slowly wake up or become more conscious in the process however she looked at him her features is grim the entire dream will break and if we're under a Jutsu I don't know what will happen when we wake up hold on won't we just go back to the old koha like we should he asked glancing back to em she stood there still the same expression as if frozen in time we'll go where lost souls are into limbo the hell is limbo he asked watching in horror as the bench began to crack leaving them no choice but to get up and watch it snap in half limbo is a place between reality and dreams endless nothingness the ground shook once more a wave of intensity and cracks formed below them growing bigger and bigger wider and wider and then gravity pulled them down thanks for reading sorry for the late update and I'll update again hopefully soon lisher chapter 23 okay truth be told I didn't like where this story was going and now I don't like where it's currently going my end results gotten a bit fogged up as I've been updating and now I'm truly not a fan of the story I liked where I had originally had it a few chapters back so I may go through and eded a few lines nothing worth rereading anyway sorry I've been giving this little to no attention lately chapter 22 think about tasting Heaven being there and then having it taken away after being forced back to an unwanted reality how can we continue to live to breath where can we find hope if the hope we had was taken unrightfully will we find strength to move on or will we rot sitting like skeletons counting every bone on our body as if they'll disappear just like everything else everything was gone on without much notice everything my father my mother my sister my friends the whole village no the whole world everything was just gone it ceases to exist although that thought is completely terrifying it's strangely nice peaceful welcoming I wouldn't mind staying here forever alone in peace I've never felt so absent but also so alive Bruto n what is that narutu Naruto my name while wake up narutu I don't want to I can't this is too nice too good I want to stay La why a r no please wake up no suddenly nutk eyes flashed open his mind whirling and his eyes could barely focus on the face in front of him or above him he was laying down flat on his back with Sakura hanging over him with tears running down to the tip of her nose and Chin when his eyes focused on hers he saw the extreme relief in her eyes and he could barely just barely hear her breath catch in her throat but something was different about her he sat up looking around s and he mumbled looking at her in confusion he continued what's going on where are we from what he could tell he was in the village but it seemed oddly empty that's when he noticed Kakashi standing there looking oddly defeated and it took him a while to notice but nutk eyes widened when he realized that one of karachi's eyes was covered when he looked back at Sakura he could tell she was older no it's gone Sakura sputtered out I knew it was coming but I thought I thought maybe it wasn't true maybe there was a way to she fumbled to sit beside him her hand reaching for her hair and running through it you mean Naruto didn't dare finish his sentence but his heart instantly dropped when he saw Sakura nod confirming his fear so we're back where we started the cashi laughed hauntingly not the kind of restart we were looking for huh Sakura cleared her throat taking a shaky breath for a second I didn't think you'd wake up Sakura said what how long was I out Naruto asked not too long but your heartbeat is abnormal she said resting his hand on his chest it still is arudo grabbed her hand gently taking it into his own I feel fine don't worry sakuran okay it was quiet for a moment before Kakashi spoke up to answer your original question Naruto no we're not in the village it's empty not as Souls here but us and the village is how it was years ago before pain what do you mean exactly what I said if Sakura was right then this is where lost souls are and we're the lost souls he Shrugged I'm not sure there's a way out of this well there has to be we can't just sit here and do nothing Naruto complained standing up despite his dizzy head Naruto hold on Sakura grabbed his wrist pulling herself up as well let's just sit down and think for bit okay if we make one mistake in here who knows what will happen Eno's eyes snapped open her arms were bound behind her back and her feet were tied tightly together instantly fim mobilized her for a long moment her her heartbeat was the only thing she could hear pounding ruthlessly in her ear where am I she thought looking around trying to get out of her binds she didn't have anything on her nothing at all such a rookie move you know she scolded herself suddenly a door she hadn't noticed opened squeaking and moaning with rust and grit to her surprise it was an amboo Black hop she was about to ask for help thought she couldn't imagine how with a rag tied around her mouth but something stopped her the hokage's wife it's an honor he said Dry I here to give you your food and don't worry we aren't torturing you or your unborn child you're in safe hands I guess Eno knew the only way she could get out was by controlling this black hop but she couldn't get her hands in the needed position for the Jutsu she bent her fingers behind her scrunching her eyebrows in concentration and focused on the man in front of her this was probably her only chance the masked U member turned to look at her grabbing the tray and brining it close to her but as he kneeled down to set it beside her his eyes mistakenly met hers and with that his vision went black back Eno witnessed her body slumped downwards it was always strange to see that happen no matter how many times there was no way she could keep this man controlled for long so the only way she could get out of his is by untying herself and grabbing this guy's weapons but it needed to be quick okay she said with an unfamiliar voice letun get these binding undone as she hastily untied the bindings she could feel the black hops mind fight back this time with more Vigor she unarmed him placing the weapons behind her real self's back and slipping The Sword in her unconscious hand she wasn't good with a sword but just like every ninja she knew how to wield a weapon bise she whispered after trying the man's wrist sloppily but enough to stall him while she regained her bearings in her own body her eyes sprang open once again but this time she was prepared she grabbed a few China behind her gripping the sword tightly and rushing past the Black hop she didn't want to hurt them even if they had captured her they were still a part of the village rushing through the Rusted door she ran through the unfamiliar Hall s opening random doors desperately searching for an exit hey she heard a Gruff voice yell behind her freeze she didn't dare listen or look back instead she kept running faster turning down holes she may or may not have gone down already I said stop it called again but she didn't listen as she swooped down another Hall she noticed a larger door and with what energy she had left she bolted towards it she hit the door's push handle with full force shoving it open suddenly a bright light enveloped her and she blinked desperately to get used to the brightness she could make out trees in a forest floor but they looked strange to her where was she without warning a sharp pain slashed her side just above her hip and she stumbled downwards she looked at her side to see a large gash already pouring out blood [ __ ] she breathed damn it she heard the voice behind her yell I thought I said stop she looked wildly behind her to find another masked man she didn't bother trying to distinguish who it was she fired a kunai then another and stumbled back up running she must must be at the Ambu Black hop base just south of the village so if she kept heading north she should get home she ran as fast as she could hoping into the trees to conceal herself she covered her side with her hand trying to heal it with her remaining chakra but it seemed to only slow the blood the gash was too big for her to heal and she still needed chakra to run normally this wouldn't be a problem but ever since the pregnancy she's been loosing a lot more energy the baby she glanced down at her stomach in horror with this much blood loss it' be a miracle to get back to the Village alive let alone her baby oh no she thought feeling her heartbeat throb in her chest oh no oh no oh no she had to get back to the Village they had to Shikamaru grabbed his gear holding tightly to the note in his hand the one that told him that his wife had been kidnapped his brow was scrunched with determination and an unspoken will was in the air how could they just take his wife take his child he stormed out the door and rushed towards the gate ignoring the villagers looks that they tossed him as he ran through the streets you know as he approached to the gate he saw a crown Gathering circling around something or someone he pushed through giving empty apologies to those he had shoved a bit too harshly there in the middle laying in a growing pool of blood was his wife no he breathed Eno just outside the gate unbeknownst to anyone else stood the man who chassed her damn it there's no way I'm living through this he muttered petting the large dog at his side what are we going to do akamaru for once the dog didn't reply this is pretty short I know but I'm deciding to post it anyway the endings coming soon lisher e chapter 24 here's the next update also a few things are different a long time ago I had planned to have Naruto break this whole fake reality thing but I'm changing that so some things may or may not align with the original plot it shouldn't be too big of a deal though chapter 23 shikimaru watched his wife laying on the hospital bed with nurses quickly going to work he had rushed her back to the hospital immediately picking her up bright style and sprinted luckily she hadn't lost too much blood since she was able to semi- stop the bleeding herself she was just extremely exhausted it could have been way worse it would leave a scar but it definitely could have been worse a nurse walked out of the room and into the hallway where he was waiting okama she bowed she's perfectly fine we've checked the baby as well it seems its chakra is still flowing steadily no injury or harm was done to it he let a breath of air sweep out of his lungs in a long exhale thank God he sighed and he know she isn't awake is she no shek resting sir may I go in now he asked impatiently yes sir she nodded he walked into the room to find Eno sleeping on the hospital bed a large bandage on her side Shone under the thin sheets he grabbed a chair from the corner of the room positioning it beside the bed sitting down he grabbed her hand clutching it tightly though she was fine now it still scared the living hell right out of him when she was captured he'd wait until she woke up to ask her about the son of a [ __ ] who hurt her but this aside from that what about nuto Sakura and Kakashi they were together in that room and the caoi had told him that the rest was up to them they would wake up they had to wake up there couldn't be an if Shikamaru felt so extremely out of control for once he couldn't see the outcome and it freaked him out to no end he clutched Eno's hand tighter letting his head fall onto their conjoined hands at least she was okay suddenly a harsh beeping flooded his ears he whipped his head upwards looking at the screen next to his sleeping wife blinking red what he mumbled standing up not letting go of her hand the beeping continued getting louder louder louder the door burst open behind him hokama please remove yourself from the room a doctor yelled rushing in and checking his wife's pulse what what are you talking about I thought you said she was fine he said tempted to grab the doctor but he steadied himself there seems to be a problem looks like there may be internal bleeding somewhere he mumbled grabbing long INF flexible small tubes and attaching them to Eno's arms that more to her nose and down her throat please hokama it would be best if you left the room he said looking at him nervously what no what's wrong with her she was fine he yelled stepping towards the doctor it was only a gash and she she stopped the bleeding there how why didn't you fix it earlier he said feeling a nurse tug on his sleeve please hokama the nurse spoke behind him Shikamaru felt himself be pulled backwards and suddenly within moments he was back in the hallway again but he couldn't be here Anywhere But Here Without Really thinking Shikamaru stormed towards what remained of Team seven he signaled for an ambo to follow him tell me if anything happens to her he commanded and the Ambu nodded disappearing burito sat down remaining silent it had been quite a while since akura had said to think about it and during that time she and Kakashi hadn't said a word he ran an impatient hand through his hair what were they even supposed to be thinking about Nudo felt eyes on him and he looked up to see Sakura looking at him hesitantly on sure he fured his brow and gave her a questioning look she looked at Kakashi then back to him and cleared her throat nuto she began breaking the long silence can I have a word with you she asked he nodded still confused of course sakuran Bashi didn't seem to take notice of their conversation and started walking off I'm going for a walk he said zakura and Naruto didn't pay too much mind to him only watching him for a short while before nuto spoke up so what's the matter sakur aside from being trapped here she tried to laugh but it only came out dry yeah there's that nuto side looking around the abandoned Village thoughtfully we were 18 she stated catching his attention once more his eyebrows were raised in question so she continued we were 18 just moments ago crazy isn't it sort of Life there seemed normal so right now feels weirder Naruto said slowly but what are you getting at zakura looked away from him 18 years have passed Naruto and look at us we're older I'd bet we're 40 years old since we left when we were 22 and we lived 18 years in that place Aro gave a weak chuckle oh yeah I guess you're right he mumbled so 18 years of our life have disappeared in a sense she said her hands starting to shake at heride nuto taking notice of this quickly grabbed her hand hey hey what's wrong they haven't disappeared Sakura they're still here we live them together he said bring her to his chest and letting her Shake beneath him we were with each other the cashi too and we got to know everyone I got to know my parents I got to meet the sister I never had his voice began to crack and I got to fall in love with you all over again he squeezed her tighter holding her close those years haven't disappeared Sakura they're still here they always will be she clutched the back of his shirt letting the tears fall I I am stupid aren't I she stated mumbling into his shirt well you're definitely smarter than me he laughed rubbing the back of her head don't worry about what we wake up to San he smiled and don't forget what you said to me that night I won't she sniffed I'll never idiot we're in this together good all that matters when we wake up is that we're together right he said almost trying to convince himself right she vowed I just hope I hope we remember nuto didn't even want to think of that possibility he pushed her away from his chest firmly grabbing her shoulders you won't will you you promise you won't Sakura C offu guard by his low tone she nodded trust me nuto I want to remember this he looked away from her for a moment a sad expression falling onto his face sorry I just I don't want to think of that possibility loudly a sudden flash of light beamed in front of them wind howled around swirling and spinning about their eyes widened looking at the blast with shocked faces and as quickly as it came it died down replaced by a large familiar demon Fox haui Naruto said holding Sakura at his side caoi what are you doing here Naruto the large Fox looked around where's Kakashi he walked off heun's here somewhere Sakura answered well get him then quickly caoi instructed what why nuto asked still puzzled as of why the caoi was even in front of them you need to get out of here don't you he said of course then get Kakashi He barked the rudo and Sakura plus the nine-tailed fox began to run in the direction that Kakashi walked off to within a few moments they could see Kakashi standing in front of the memorial stone and unre expression on his face Bashi Naruto yelled caoi said he knows the way out of here Bashi looked up his face unchanging I noticed him summoned he said walking towards them sorry I was a bit distracted Theo laughed lightly wek used to you being late Kakashi he smiled behind his mask I suppose you are he looked up to the caoi so what's the plan there is a barrier just beyond the village border you need to all touch it and the seal will break that easy Sakura's eyes widened it only appears when you're aware of it had I not told you you would have been wandering around for years in eternity even caoi stated so follow me and I'll bring you to it aruto looked at Sakura a strange expression gracing his features I guess this is it huh she smiled wistfully yeah it is iubi began walking towards The Village's Edge Naruto and sakur and to Kakashi turned back to the memorial with a solemn face but bye rabido father he thought letting the harsh reality fall back onto his shoulders his friends and father were no longer alive that was the truth he turned back around hands in his pockets and walked after Naruto and Sakura it was too good to be true anyway Shikamaru entered into the room where his friends were there they sat unmoving the same blank expression on his face and Ambu Black hop came to him they've not moved an inch sir he reported good shikima nodded walking inside he sat down at the table across from them I not supposed to interfere he sighed but IUI also said they couldn't move an in from each other he rubbed his forehead so what exactly am I waiting for again he looked up at nuto his unexpressive face haunting him what happened to that cheesy grin yamaki he asked dry for a second he thought for sure he saw Naruto Flinch but it was so subtle he thought he was mistaken however then without any warning all of them began to shake profusely slumping in the chairs they sat in and rattling the ground with shaking feet what the hell shikimaru backed up watching them he was glad he had handcuffed their hands together otherwise they would have scattered from each other the black opop rushed in standing beside his Hokage Hokage Sama what's going on he questioned but question wish I knew the answer Shikamaru stressed looking at his friends wildly but a large puff of smoke the caoi summoned in the room was Shikamaru started Nara the nine-tailed fox yelled at him didn't I tell you I'd be back don't act so surprised the Black hop almost jumped at the demon but Shikamaru held him back don't for once this guy's on our side the Ambu gave Shikamaru an incredulous look but obeyed nonetheless I told you not to interfere did I not caoi asked and shikimo nodded i counting on that he muttered he walked towards the shaking bodies holding them still and reaching a claw out to nutk forehead tapping it then to sakuras then to Kakashi and they stopped all was quiet once again what did you do shikimo asked rushing towards them I stopped their heartbeats caoi said as if it were obvious you stop there what Shikamaru launched himself at the Fox you you killed them after all of this why the hell would you I didn't say I killed them did I caoi interrupted shoving the Nara backwards and off of him they need a peaceful mind to come back to had their minds been active they wouldn't be able to come back successfully he explained quickly well how will they be alive if you kill them Shikamaru asked harshly but calmed oh well I didn't think of that the caoi said looking innocent shikamaru's jaw slacked and the ninetail bursted into laughter I'm kidding he laughed I only tempor stop them haven't you heart of a heart stopping and then starting again just wait when their minds come back it'll jump start their system Thea UI as quickly and randomly as he came disappeared all was silent in the room nothing moved not even shikim or the Black Op beside him no one spoke no one breathed they only watched anxiously at the three in front of them unmoving unchanging and then their eyes flashed open and JK this was poorly done sorry but I wanted to rush it a bit don't worry this isn't the end though there will be one two more chapters maybe it but there will at least be one more chapter there's a lot of Unfinished Business obviously anyway I hope you guys stay turned for the next update until then blish chapter 25 boo it's been a while since I've updated a the next day chamu sat in his office fumbling through papers it had been his only source of distraction lately since Naruto Sakura and Kakashi only woke to go back to sleep he had their brain waves analyzed and the results say they're not in the jinjutsu anymore but he still had a hard time believing it especially since they were still in fact asleep the knock was sounded at his door come in he said DBA walked inside his office hey he said softer than normal something the matter Shikamaru asked sitting up in the amag's chair it's unlike you to give me a visit in my office Kiba Biba's heart rate picked up his courage dropping well I've decided I'm leaving the village there was a long long silence between them and shikamaru's eyes turned to slits if you're leaving the village you'll need to tell me why because kba Shrugged trying his best to act nonchalant I just want to go away in solitude wander around Adventure you name it just not his eyes look to the floor here Shikamaru set the papers down why not here Kiba he asked what a guy got to do to just leave for a bit Kiba asked beginning to get irritated and defensive Shikamaru didn't reply instead he picked up a single Paper his wife wife's Hospital information Eno's in the hospital did you know that he asked Biba's feet went cold uh yay the whole village knows actually the village doesn't know Shikamaru frowned at his friend I made sure no one knows it keeps Panic at Bay Kiba stood there quietly not daring to talk there were a few things I found odd when I found Eno first why would someone capture the amag's wife if our village wasn't at War it would have to mean someone who was sick and tired of the village would have captured her maybe to get information I don't know but after this they probably would want to leave he analyzed and secondly he stood up from his chair there was a few strands of dog hair on her shirt and I very well know we don't own a dog Shikamaru giba what the hell were you thinking he walked around his desk never breaking eye contact with the inuzuka you have nothing against Eno and you've got nothing against me why I didn't don't play stupid we're not students in the academy anymore I only wanted to know what was going on okay kba yell you were so secretive about nuto Sakura and Kakashi so what did I do I joined the BlackOps only to find that they knew nothing more about anything in this Village than the public I tried to Snoop around a bit I even asked you a few questions hey Shikamaru what's up with team 7even but you avoided it like a plague they're my friends too so you kidnapped my wife Shikamaru was having trouble finding the logic in kiba's Antics it wasn't supposed to go sideways like this kba mumbled at first I was going to try and ask her a few questions but then she automatically thought I was trying to kill her so I panicked and he cut off I never knew I never knew she was pregnant until that filthy ruse gave her to me you know what you've done shikima mumbled looking away from a longtime friend I can't allow you to stay in the village you're still not answering the question Kiba accused you're no longer a member of the leaf the information isn't relevant to you anymore Shikamaru said harshly pointing to the door I let everyone know that you've decided to leave on your own Accords Biba's mouth was screwed shut and he could feel the anger bubble in his chest but he kept quiet turned around and left that was the last time Shikamaru ever saw him two days later okama Shikamaru heard a knock through the door yes come in he said sitting at his desk he had yet to go through the paperwork for kibba leaving the village a nurse walked into the room he recognized her as one of the nurses helping his wife you want to hear this she said but I can't hear it if you won't say anything he sighed leaning forward he noticed her face blush probably from embarrassment and she scrambled her papers together and set them on his desk your wife is well she said and will be released tomorrow as expected she paused looking at him but the real news is about team s Shikamaru straightened in his chair are they awake he asked his breath caught in his throat no but their brain waves suggest they will be soon she furred her brows I figured you'd want to be there when they do awake of course he nods thanks standing up he walks to the door holding it open so she can walk P him she bows thank thank you the only hums in response and walks the other way towards team 7K room was this it were they going to wake up and if they do will they remember anything will they be themselves will the village go back to normal his heart picks up its Pace his footsteps become quicker and his palm sweat team seven awake and alive again when the jinjutsu first wore off Shikamaru was almost unsurprised that they weren't awake almost relieved not because he didn't want to see his friends but because he didn't know what would happen when they woke he wanted it he really did but he was nervous being in a jinjutsu for so long can be well it and do crazy things to your mind he feared what they've seen what they've gone through who they may have become he reached the hospital room but he almost doesn't want to go in luck for him however a nurse opens the door startled by his presence oh oh hokama she bows as sorry about that she mumbles making a way for shikim to enter no need to apologize he saids slowly I was just standing there for for a bit did I disturb your thoughts she asked they were already Disturbed he sighed no not at all she bows once more and takes her leave he sits down by the beds laying there are Naruto Sakura and Kakashi he glares at the sheets that cover them with his elbow propped up his hand holding his head what was his approach how should he handle this what was the answer he didn't know the steady beep of the monitor in the room was almost a lullabi and soon he found himself falling asleep he didn't know how long he was out before Shikamaru Eno shook her husband's arm he didn't budge figures since he's such a heavy sleeper and all shikaru she tried a bit louder and this time taking his hand that propped up his head away leaving his head to fall bah he looked up seeing his wife you know you fell asleep she sighed the nurses said I could come in here with you she said he looked at her lazily then realized she wasn't sitting down immediately he stood up here sit down I've been laying down for days I think I should actually stand for a bit she said sternly he robbed the back of his neck you're still hurt though nothing worse than anything I've had happened before she said placing a hand on his shoulder there may not be War anymore but in case you've forgotten we've both gone through one she leaned forward to give him a soft kiss Bes eyes right uh they both quieted that voice didn't come from them they whipped their heads around locking their eyes with a familiar Sky blo pair what the hell Nar to shikamaru's eyes widened he was the hell are you two doing all oie doy what kind the waack [ __ ] happened while we were gone Naruto sat straight up like a bolt pointing an accusing finger at them chik's eyes blurred and he decided to blame it on his tiredness and definitely not tears ha he smiled faintly how Troublesome Nudo stop being so loud Sakura mumbled moving her hands to cover her ears and what's that annoying beeping sound that would be the monitor Shikamaru said and as much as I'd love to take it off it's making sure you're alive and well Bashi sat up his expression sober well he looked out the window near him I guess we finally back home shikimo looked curiously at them you seem almost upset that place Naruto whispered it was just like a dream he laid back down in bed nothing was wrong there aside from it being fake of course he said it with a tinge of sourness in his voice really Eno said just loud enough to hear yeah Sakura said sadly but her expression changed a smirk replacing her frown you weren't even there Pig Eno immediately frowned firing back are you serious forehead I swear if I wasn't injured and if you weren't in a hospital bed you'd be dead meat right now you hear me Sakura laughed and after a short while everyone joined in there was unspoken grief that lingered in the air but it seemed to be forgotten welcome back Shikamaru smiled aruto leaned against the apartment Window the hospital with the help of a persuasive Shikamaru allowed team 7 to leave the hospital they found a small apartment Kakashi staying in one and nuto and zakura stinging in another nuto knew people thought team 7 was dead but it was weird to see everyone's faces as they gawked at them when they walked down the road although what else could you expect nuto found himself wondering as he usually did his thoughts kept getting the better of him he heard footsteps coming from down the small hallway he turned around meeting eye to eye with Sakura Whata thinking about she asked him leaning against the opposite side of the window he smiled closing his eyes nothing really he could practically feel her frown he wasn't ever good at lying you're worried about something he grimaced you know me too well sakuran what are you worried about she asked stepping closer and letting her hands find their way around his waist remember what we talked about he asked looking down at her what her eyebrows raised you didn't forget anything did you he asked his expression serious she let her head fall down into his chest of course not Baka she whispered her lips curving upwards he grabbed her head lifting her chin up so that he could look at her you still love me he asked his eyes hopeful she nodded leaning up towards him only an inch from his face yes I still love you he grinned leaning down and kissing her it started firm as if it were a desperate plea for confirmation but it turned soft light and made Sakura's insides turn to Mush I do too he smiled on her lips and breaking apart holding her close he popped his head on the top of her own they were like this for a long while and Sakura couldn't be any more satisfied pay SAU richan Naruto asked what she hummed marry me she could feel his heart rate pick up at a frightening Pace as those words left his mouth she could hear his breath hitch in his throat his hands still at her waist her head was still against his chest and her words came out before she got the chance to even think them through okay well next chapter will be the epilogue then it's over ug I just want this trash story to be finished with now and hope you enjoyed loveer chapter 26 I actually had to rewrite this whole thing because all of my notes were accidentally deleted so this came out much later than expected sorry guys epilog 10 years later he ran through the streets his heart pumping fast his feet kept pounding the ground jumping and sliding to avoid the other villagers walking by he looked over his shoulder as quick as he could getting a short glance they were still right on his tail but it didn't matter he was almost there he could almost see the training grounds shinachiku you do come back here he heard a voice yell behind him it was Kori his best friend he grinned no way I told you I'd be able to beat you to the training grounds he yelled back he was only a few feet away jumping into the air he landed right in the middle of their school's training field no fair she huffed I told you I wouldn't win from the start don't blame your failures on your laziness he crossed his arms shinachiku if you haven't noticed the only reason I fail things are because I'm lazy my my both their heads turned towards the expected voice shouldn't you be on your way home shinachiku eyes widened aruka Sensei he bowed his father seemed to always respect Ruka Sensei even though he was only a retired instructor so shinachiku tried his best to treat him with respect too aruka laughed you're much more polite than your father was when he was a kid I wouldn't use polite Kori glared at shinachiku we waiting for our parents still heruka and say they said they'd meet us here to walk us home shinachiku told him ignoring kori's comment aruka nodded it's good to see kids running around the village it's been too quiet lately he said thoughtfully leaning down and rubbing the little boy's hair have a good day you too he smiled walking away that's our parents old Academy teacher right Kori asked shinachiku nodded yep my dad really likes him so I try my best to nice to him just as they were about to sit down they saw their mothers walking towards them wow aren't you guys here early Sakura laughed looking at them with raised eyebrows especially for you Ori Eno agreed giving her a sideways glance should I be worried chinich chiku thought it' be a good idea to race here she sighed and now I'm tired shinachiku frowned you're always tried Kori yes but now I'm even more tired aune no were you this lazy as a kid shinachiku asked ignoring his friendo groaned nope she gets that from her dad lazy's just another word for calm Kori tried to justify herself all right then oh c one we need to get going we've got dinner with the uzamaki tonight remember she reminds her daughter shinachiku lit up I almost forgot Uncle Kakashi will be there too right yeah he just got back from his mission sakuru replied hiori nodded with a smile taking her mother's hand okay I'll see you at your house later shinachiku she waved goodbye to her friend Sakura looked down to her son your dad's in his office so we're going to run by and pick him up she said okay he grinned up at her zakura saw a lot of nuto and her son he was chipper like him always trying to see the brighter side of things but nuto said that he saw more of Sakura and shinan than himself and his son he said that he had her green eyes her cute nose and sometimes her temper he'd always laugh after he said the last part and Sakura assumed it was so that he looked innocent he was right though she did have a bit of a temper at times watching her son walk in front of her she could help but start thinking 10 years ago they woke up to this place it took a while for her and nuto to actually settle in and really started family so they were three years married before having their son shinachiku he's almost seven now it was a real shock for Sakura when Eno had her an shikamaru's first child tashio he was healthy despite the dangers during her pregnancy and watching the two of them become a family Mak Sakura realized that what happened to them what made them want to relive their lives didn't matter anymore the only way to fix what was wrong with this world was to try and create something a little over 2 years later shinachiku was born in a matter of minutes they were already walking into Nar 's office they could hear voices bickering on the other side Theo I swear I was never this bad when I was in the Hokage chair they could hear Shikamaru groan well then be my guest try and figure this one out smartass Naruto yelled in defense Sakura walked into the office shinachiku following her closely behind is my husband giving you grief Shikamaru she asked playfully looking at Naruto a sackur richanne so mean he mumbled putting down the pen he was writing with Shikamaru sigh your husband's just being himself aaka no fair two against one shaan help your dad out huh Naruto faked a pout looking to his son a frown formed onto his lips one he instantly recognized as his wife's Dad if you're being a baka then I can't help you he said plainly suddenly everyone in the room was laughing aside from ass salty Naruto sakuru gave him a pied look come on Naruto we're only joking he looked at her deciding to smile I know he nodded at as if reassuring himself letun get going then shall we nuto you're still not done shikimo was cut off I'll deal with it tomorrow Shikamaru the best I can do for now is sleep on it right he asked looking to his advisor letting out a long sigh shikimo nodded I guess then it settled now letun get home he grinned standing up and walking over to his family and making his way out the door he turned around before closing the office door wek see you later tonight for dinner right Shikamaru the lazy ninja not nodded yeah he smiled later tonight the door closed and Shikamaru could hear the laughter that followed them out the door as cheesy as it seemed nuto and his family brought a lot of light to this world he glanced out the window that overlooked The Village there was hope in the leaf Village once more maybe with this light behind them they could at last restart by and we're done finally you can throw those rotten tomatoes you've been saving now but weu am I glad this is finally over in all honesty I hope you enjoyed it and even though this chapter is short hopefully it fulfilled your probably very small expectations until next time laer
