Disclamer I do not own Naruto and never will

A new beginning

There it was, the most powerful of the Biju, the Juubi (Ten tails) in all of its glory. The beast was condensing chakra in the shape of a ball just in front of its mouth preparing for any of the Bijus' most powerful attack the legendary bijudamma. Naruto realised this and using his Biju mode was rushing to create one of his own to counter it so to protect him and his friends. To do this he quickly gathered the last remains of his biju chakra to fire one off. He knew that if he did this he would be vulnerable but to our favourite shinobi his friends were always more important than him. After he released his ball of chakra towards the Juubi the latter also released its ball of energy. Naruto's mind was at peace now that his friends would be safe. He felt relief strike him. However that changed when all of a sudden he noticed the man on the beasts head add his own chakra to the already terrifying bijudamma, then Naruto looked on with a look of horror on his face. The bijudamma of the Juubi was now tearing through his own and once it broke through his considerably weaker one it came right for them. However due to the energy spent fighting against Naruto's bijudamma it exploded prematurely and for Naruto everything went white.

At this moment Naruto was thinking, one thought 'I can't die, I can't die, I can't die! I have got to save my friends, the world, everyone is counting on me I simply cannot lose.' With these thoughts he unknowingly accesses the Biju cloak which in these few moments is all he needed to survive the blast. His friends were not so fortunate. After a few seconds Naruto found the strength to look around. To his horror all of his friends, his precious people were laying on the ground, eyes glazed over or face first in the soft and moist dirt. Naruto quickly strained his body to the limit just to stand up where he finally saw who the bodies belonged to. He recognised them as Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, Shino, Hinata, Neji, Tenten, Lee, Sakura and Sasuke. Although his reunion with Sasuke was short lived Naruto felt the most joy he had felt in the years since Sasuke's betrayal. After all of that hard work Sasuke was now laying before him dead. Naruto just did not know what to do and then just at that moment another bijudamma was fired off at Konoha, and then all the other villages one by one. After all of this Naruto fell to his knees with a look of despair on his face and he cried out in despair "I I I'm too weak, h h how could I let this happen. A A After all this Why couldn't I just die with them! Why! I I wish that it could have been me!" After this declaration as if it could hear the Grieving cries the Juubi turned and faced Naruto and charged up a bijudamma and fired it at Naruto.

At this point of time he thought 'Now is my turn my friends I can now leave this world as well. I will be seeing you soon.'

Just as he closed his eyes a human figure appeared in front of him and blocked the huge ball of chakra and then repelled it back towards the giant beast. The mystery man who was standing in front of Naruto wore a cloak with nine tomoes not dissimilar to Naruto's Biju mode. Then Naruto felt the power within him rumble and quake but above all of this Naruto heard Kurama say 'Father'. To say Naruto was shocked would be an understatement. For after Kurama's words Naruto realised that the person who was standing in front of him was none other than the Rikudou Sennin. Naruto gasped and then the sage turned around and laid his eyes on the blonde before him and saw his clear blue eyes and remembered his prophesy. He then notices the tears under Naruto's eyes and asks "Why are you crying boy, you must never give up hope no matter the circumstances, you must always look to the future and never give in to the darkness of the past."

Then Naruto's face changed and turned to a smile and he replied with "Yeah I guess you're right. However there is no longer any other human on the earth the Juubi and Madara have killed them all. There is no hope for the human race to ever recover." Naruto said with tears of sadness streaming down his face. Then he remembered just who it was he was speaking to and looked into his three eyes and said with newfound hope "But you're the Rikudou sennin right? Who nearly had the power of a God and is considered one amongst the Shinobi. Surely you have come up with something, anything!" Naruto screamed in desperation.

The sages face twisted which gave Naruto the idea that the sage was thinking as hard as he could before his face lit up and then he went into a frown after realising the consequences of this jutsu of his. After contemplating his thoughts for a while the almighty sage had made a decision. (All the while they were talking the Juubi was preparing itself to launch another attack) The sage spoke to Naruto and told him "indeed there is a way in which I could stop this however that would require me to reverse the hands of time itself. I could handle it but you would not remember anything and would be reverted back the day you were born. This would mean that this occasion would merely repeat itself. However there is a way in which I could bring possible awareness to this dire future. I could give you a horrible nightmare whenever you are not performing at your best through your own will and are instead slacking off of your capabilities. This would cause you to not flunk the academy and be the best you could ever be.

Naruto thought hard and fast, contemplating what could happen in this separate future and then he finally came to a decision "I accept your offer, even though it could bring me pain I believe that this is the one way I could protect my friends. Please do the honours."

"As you wish Child of the Prophesy. Kami no jikan hanten (Divine time reversal)

After those words were spoken Naruto saw light engulf him. Then all he see the world was fading into darkness. The last thing he saw were the Sage's legendary eyes of the Rinnegan and then it went blank.

In a small hut in the outskirts of Konoha a red haired woman was giving birth to her first born child. Her husband was standing next to her holding her hand the whole time and in a final scream of agony out of the woman came a tiny little baby boy with three whisker like birthmarks on each cheek. The two of them looked at him with Pride when they saw him they only could think that he was perfect. As the midwives walked away to check the baby the husband and wife spoke of their happiness. But then all of a sudden there were screams of pain and they quickly turned to see their baby in the hands of a masked stranger with a Sharingan eye who said "Hokage, step away from the jinchuriki or this baby dies in a minute"
