Naruto blinked slowly, his brain felt a bit foggy from his recent unconscious state. He shook his head a bit and sluggishly let his eyes roam around. All he saw where the battered and still bleeding bodies of his dead comrades littered around him. It was a battlefield. It was all coming back to him now. The final battle with Kaguya and losing the last of his friends and comrades.

Now that his brain was pretty much fully kicked back in Naruto had registered that his body temperature was unnaturally cold and… wet? This prompted him to glance down at himself and see the blood that was pooling around his body. His blood. I'm dying. That's all he thought as blood trickled out of his mouth and slid down his chin.

Well, it was going to happen to him sooner or later and he accepted it. So, he tore his eyes away from his wounds and looked up at the sky. It was black, all shadows and darkness. It had been that way ever since she was revived.

Everyone had tried to stop her but they just weren't enough. The Five Great Nations wasn't enough. Naruto and Sasuke got their power boosts and were seconds away from killing Madara but they weren't quick enough. Zetsu released the seal and Kaguya was revived. The shinobi that were left retreated, but with every battle, their numbers dwindled until you could count everyone left on one hand.

He and Sasuke had grown stronger with each battle but so did she. They could never get far enough ahead of her for it to matter. And after Sasuke was killed well… They knew they were finished at that point.

Three years was how long it lasted, three years against The Goddess. But at that point, Naruto was just fighting because he was supposed too, mostly all of his precious people were already dead. Though they are all dead now and Naruto soon would be too. Or at least that was how it was supposed to be.

The fox inside of him had other ideas. He had been with his host throughout it all and had helped him since the very beginning, even if it was for his own personal gain at first. But after the kit had accepted him and even went as far as saying that he'd carry all of his hatred… Well, Kurama couldn't help but care. Naruto treated him the same way the Sage had and the boy reminded him very much of the old man. He wasn't going to let his kit just die like that.

'Naruto, I know of a way we can fix this.' Kurama had suddenly said.

Naruto would've laughed at that if he had the strength. 'Fix what.? Everyone's already dead, Kurama. There's nothing left to fix. ' he choked out.

'In this time, yes, but we can go back. We can make it so this never happened and save everyone. We can kill Zetsu before he starts.' The fox growled out and Naruto could feel the beast's intense gaze on him.

Naruto thought about it and decided that if he could stop this, save all of his precious people, then he'd do whatever Kurama needed him to do for this to work.

'Okay, Kyuu I'm in. What do we have to do?'

'First off, Don't call me that brat,' he growled lowly then continued.

'Now, what we are going to do is activate my Time Travel Jutsu. Since we have both of my halves, pieces of the other eight Biju's chakra, and your chakra, we'll have enough for the journey.' The fox showed a grin that was all teeth and continued, 'And this jutsu will allow us to keep all of our current power when we merge with our past selves So… where do you want to start, kit?' Kurama questioned with an evil smirk. He could just imagine sinking his teeth into Zetsu and ripping him apart. Slowly.

Naruto's expression mirrored the Kyuubi's perfectly, 'Oh please Kyuu, you know exactly where to start.'

Kurama chuckled, 'Ahh of course. Let's go back to the beginning then, Naruto.'

Then their world went black.

Naruto opened his eyes and had to blink a few times to get reoriented after being unconscious. Again. He didn't even have to ask the fuzzball if it worked because of who he saw holding him. Someone he never thought he'd see again until he died and passed on. It was his mom. His mom who was holding him. His mom was alive and holding him. His mind was officially blown. Kurama had done it, he sent them back to the literal beginning of his life.

Naruto can save all of his friends and family now, his parents included. He can make sure that his future never happens. His train of thought was abruptly cut off by someone appearing in the middle of the room they were in.

Now that he was looking it appeared they were in a shack. He recognized this place from his parents' memories. He also recognized the person. The man approached the bed that he and his now sleeping mother were located on, and it was like Naruto had looked into a mirror(if he was his actual age that is). It was his Dad who picked him up off the bed. The Yondaime, Konoha's Yellow Flash, The Hokage... out of all of his titles the only one Naruto was thinking of was Father. The one only a select few people knew.

"Naruto, my son, I'm sorry to place this burden on you but I know you'll be able to do this," Minato whispered sadly to his son while holding him close.

The next thing Naruto knew was that he was in a clearing and oh. His dad was about to seal Kurama into him. Fuck. He has to figure out a way to stop this or his Dad is going to die.

Baby Naruto looks around and spots Kurama staring at them - him really - and then the fox winked at him. Very noticeably he might add. If he was in his older body he would've put his head in his hands. Oh great, Kurama has an idea. His ideas are terrible. Naruto suddenly pity's the shinobi on the battlefield.

"Why isn't the fox attacking anymore Sarutobi-san?" Minato asks as he walks over to the Sandiame. He already scanned the battlefield and could tell that it's been at a standstill for several minutes.

"We aren't sure Minato, he suddenly stopped attacking shortly after you left to get Naruto... Did it just wink at us?" The Sandiame said, the confusion evident in his voice.

Minato had wisely chosen to ignore that.

Any further conversation was cut off when the Kyuubi started talking to them. Although it was more like yelling with that voice of his.

"Fourth Hokage, are you going to just stand there like a fool or actually use that brain of yours to seal me already?" Kurama growled with an annoyed huff and brought one of his paws up to casually lick. He cast bored looking eyes over the Shinobi on the battlefield and then eventually settled on the Yondaime again.

Everyone on the battleground just stared at the fox in utter shock and confusion. The nine-tailed demon fox had just spoken to them. Spoken to them about being sealed like the thing was fine with it and wanted them to hurry up and just get it over with. The question was why did it want that.

Minato just shrugged and was about to start the only sealing technique he knew to seal the fox away. But before he could even move the fox suddenly snapped it's furry fingers like it remembered something important.

"Oh right, if you or that bag of bones next to you attempt to use the Reaper Death Seal to do it,' he paused and licked one of his claws, "I'll kill you before you can even start." he finished off with a gleam of promise in his eyes.

Minato and Sarutobi blanched at the Kyuubi's threat because that's exactly what one of them was going to do. They glanced at each other nervously before the blond turned and looked back at the fox.

"But I don't know of any other seal that can contain you…" Minato nervously told him and wondered how this even happened and was he really holding a conversation with the nine-tails?

Kurama shook his head in mock graveness."I see. Well, you never did master seals, did you? Hm.." Then he sneered and tilted his head in a… thinking motion, moving to sit on his hind legs. His nine tails swishing behind him.

Minato thought he had seen Naruto roll his eyes but knew that couldn't be possible so he turned his attention back to the fox. Just in time to catch the wide grin on the fox's face.

"Well, I suppose that… I could do it. " The Kyuubi laughed while it made hand - paw? - seals faster than Minato could follow and before he could react the fox brought his claws down in his direction and before he could even so much as twitch they stopped right before contact was made. With him that is.

Before Minato could breathe a sigh of relief he realized what the demon had just said. It was too late though and the fox's claw connected with Naruto's stomach. Before he could even think that his son was dead he heard laughter. Naruto was giggling at the claw that was lightly touching his stomach. He even reached out and put his tiny little hand on the tip of the claw. Then the fox suddenly barked at him to put his son down and he didn't know why but he did.

Minato stepped back after putting Naruto down and watched as the Kyuubi was sucked into him. Almost everyone that hadn't passed out did after that. Even he couldn't comprehend what just happened until Kakashi walked over to where he and the Sandiame were standing and broke the silence.

"Uh, did the nine-tailed demon fox just seal himself into Naruto on its own? " He looked over and saw Kakashi staring at Naruto in awe.

"I think I need to get to Kushina." Minato hurried and grabbed Naruto and hiraishined away.

The Sandiame stared at the spot that his successor was just in and sighed heavily while rubbing his face. He turned around sharply and started heading toward his home. "I think I need a drink."

-Extra: Kushina's Wrath-

"I'm sorry honey, I don't think I heard you right," the redhead chuckled darkly, "can you please repeat that?"

Minato sweatdropped and nervously wrung his hands. "Well uhhh I might've almost used the reaper death seal," Kushina's fake grin got larger and it made him jump, "and the nine-tails might've stopped me and then used its own seal to uh fusewithNaruto." he bit out the last part so fast it jumbled together.

Kushina still caught it though and got up off the couch and approached her husband after laying her little Naruto in his crib.

"So, what I'm hearing is that you sealed a tailed beast - the one that was in me - into my son, correct?" She cracked her knuckles and her hair started rising.

"Yeah, I'm just gonna…" And he hirashined away before the shit hit the fan but even he knew that he couldn't escape from his wife's wrath forever.

"MINATO!"
