Listening to: Act The Part - Cherri Bomb
Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto let out an exhausted sigh and threw her long golden hair over her shoulder. After two years of studying and experimenting she'd finally finished. She looked over the large seal in front of her with the aura of someone who had performed the act often, searching for any possible mistake. One tiny irregularity would put everything she had worked for down the drain. Finding nothing, she grinned. She had been inspired to come up with this seal a few years ago from an offhand comment by Kurama during one of her depressed days. He had remarked to her that if she wished to have everyone back, why not simply go back and change it? And so, she decided that she would.
She ran through the list of people she had lost since she began her Shinobi career. Haku, Zabuza, Hokage-jiji, Asuma-sensei, Ero-sennin. Once the Fourth Shinobi War began, she lost so many more. Friends from other villages, gained through the alliance. She only had a few left now. She didn't live within the remains of Konoha; most of the remaining shinobi wondered or lived in small settlements around the nations. People visited her every now and again, hell she even saw Sasuke every now and again. He was a wanderer now, he had no vengeance to be gained and he had long since gotten over his 'kill Naruto' and 'destroy Konoha things. He had been showing up more and more often lately, curious as to what had been keeping her busy. She wouldn't tell him, she didn't think any of them could handle it if they got their hopes up only to be crushed should she fail. No, it was much better for her to keep it quiet.
She stood up and grabbed the scroll with her message written on it. Should she succeed or fail, it would tell them what she did, why and how they would be able to tell if she was successful. Mainly, her house would still be standing. Leaving it inside a sealed box, she walked over to the edge of the seal. She breathed to calm herself, and then stepped into the centre.
"Been fun hasn't it fur ball?" she asked. She heard a chuckle rumble from inside the seal.
"Indeed it has kit, although I hope that this will not be the last time we talk"
"Same here Kurama"
"Good luck kit"
She began flipping through hand seals and focusing her chakra.
"Fuuinjutsu: Jikan no chi o ikenie ni sasageru"
The seal lit up, and Naruto could feel the drain on her chakra.
"It's working kit! Keep going!"
The world around her began to flicker and whirl around her. She felt nauseous and her head hurt, but then, as if a switch was flicked, all the whirling and pulling was gone, and she was falling.
She landed in a rough crouch, her training that had been ingrained into her since childhood winning over her urge to faint. She stood up for a moment, noting the familiar area in front of her before falling flat onto her face, the smell that only came from the vast Konoha forests filling her nose. She heard a shout from somewhere in front of her.
"Kakashi-sensei! Someone just fell out of nowhere!" before feeling the light pressure of someone kneeling gently beside her. She felt hands on her, turning her over. She heard sharp intakes of breath.
"Kakashi-sensei, she... She looks just like me!"
"Quiet Naruto, we need to take her to the hospital. We can check if she's a threat there."
Naruto was lifted up by strong arms, and felt the motions of being moved at high speed. She feel unconscious before she could make anything else out.
Done and done! Phew, I'm on a long weekend, plus a few days off coming up, so I may just be able to write a few more chapters in the upcoming weeks.
In case you couldn't tell by my lovely prologue, this is a femNaru time travel fic, with no pairings decided as of yet.
I want to see if anyone is interested before going too far into this fic, especially as updates will most likely be very sporadic until I get a proper break, which won't be for another few weeks soooo…
I have a few tentative plans for this, but pairings are undecided, so I'm open for suggestions. Since Naruto has come back, she has changed the time line already, thus splitting into a new time stream (I'm using an argument I got from a fic called 'The Golden Ages', look it up it's a really good fic) thus the two Naruto's. I'll probably start calling the older one Naru or something.
Anyway, reviews are always welcome! They give me inspiration to write. They guilt me into updating too

P.S. My Japanese is practically non-existent, so it's pretty much all off Google translate, so that's why it sucks.
