Here's the start of this Fanfic. Since I don't want to review every single event from when Naruto was twelve to after the time skip, and I don't know how to function a Time-Travel machine in the Naruto world, I might have to do a 'drop-out' ending… We'll see. And I might have to tweak things a bit, so it all fits the story.

Chapter I – Rasenshuriken

"Fuuton: Rasenshuriken!" "This has got to work! I finally got its final form! C'mon, c'mon… Why do I feel like my arm's going to rip off…?"

Naruto winced at the pain, his eyes, usually a clear blue, was darkening, and he was blinking fast. His pupils were now in the shape of almonds, and chakra was bursting from inside him. But then it slowed.

"Damn, come on! Just a little bit more!"

"Kit, it's no use!" A familiar voice growled.

"Kyuubi?! How the hell did you get into my mind?"

The Kyuubi rushed on as Naruto charged a bit slower towards the enemy. "Naruto, you're straining your arm too much! First the training, when that wood-user put pressure on the seal, you started to strain yourself because didn't have any connection to any of my power! If one of the enemy's tentacles, or whatever they are get anywhere close to your heart, the artery that connects my power to your chakra might suffer, and you could get seriously damaged anyway."

Naruto yelled out as his Rasenshuriken hit the enemy.

"Did it work?"

"I thought I explained it to you. You didn't have enough chakra!"

"Well, why the hell didn't you help?"

"Kit, look behind you, look around you. It was too late. No use. Those…things that grabbed you are tightening your veins, and I can't get my chakra pumped into them."

"I'll have that heart of yours, now." The enemy's voice shook Naruto back to reality.

"Aggh!" Naruto struggled, then he was suddenly free, but tangled.

As Kakashi grabbed Naruto, Yamato's wood jutsu crashed into the enemy.

"Damn it!" Naruto shouted.

Ino looked indifferent and said, "Just acting like the big man, I guess that's all we should expect from Naruto…"

Choji didn't look too impressed. Naruto scowled.

"When you said Rasenshuriken, I thought it'd go whizzing and flying at him… Is running and hitting with it all you can do?" Choji looked down at Naruto, who was looking repulsive.

"What the hell?! It would have been great if it…" Naruto's voice trailed off, and he was beginning to feel dizzy.

"Naruto?" Ino's voice sounded worried.

"Ino, do what you can," Kakashi said.

"Hai!" Ino formed the healing jutsu and placed it over where he was hurt.

The Kyuubi grunted. "It won't work. Maybe that pink kunoichi of yours can heal the artery that was broken, but not heal it fully. Got too damaged, along with torn tendons and limbs in your right arm. By the time that slug girl gets to you, there probably will still be many wounds left…"

"Kyuubi, am I going to die?" It sounded childish, by Naruto knew that Tsunade, or Sakura, was no where near.

"I might be able to help, but you're going to have to bear with me for a bit. Hang on…maybe I can get me healing chakra through a little…"

"Naruto, you usually don't heal this slow…" Kakashi's voice drifted.

"What, Naruto can heal himself?" Ino asked, half astonished, half indigant.

"…Something like that…."

"C-Can't breathe….going d-dizzy…"

"Naruto!" Then it was black.

"Naruto, whatever you do, just hold on. I will NOT die here."

Author's Note: I don't really like this first chapter, because I don't know how long this chapter will be once I upload it. So this will be a reasonably short chapter. Or I think it will be. I hope you liked it. Oh, and comment or bash all you want when you review. That's what it's for.
