Author's Pre-Note:

So this is the remake of Saving the World. I hope everyone, returning and new, enjoy this remake. Remember, this story will contain humor, but it will also take in a serious turn at times.

The world is a mix of the canon world of Naruto and cities in the United States : O, but at the same time I kind of twisted it a bit more to fit the story's plot. I posted up a drawing (it looks bad x.x) on how the world looks like in my deviantart (you can find the link to my deviantart in my profile).

There will be Akatsuki characters taking part of this story later too. So keep your eyes open for them :3

Enjoy~


Chapter 1

"So it seems the elders wish to give the Hokage position to Tsunade..." A man named Danzo said in a deep, serious tone. His hair was a messy black, with many wrinkles signifying his old age. His right eye had a black eye patch, and an x-shaped scar was on his chin. His right arm was bandaged up, hanging by a black cloth that was tied around his neck. He wore a black suit with a police badge with the words 'Chief of Police' engraved on it, pinned on his chest. A cane was leaning beside his desk as he eyed the two men that stood on the other side of his desk. Both men had black military uniforms, hoods were attached to their jackets, and wore masks that had the depiction of a cat.

"Is she taking the offer?" the taller of the two asked calmly.

"She doesn't seem interested," the other man answered before looking at their chief. "Is it true that the elders would offer you the spot if she refuses?"

"Correct," the older man leaned forward, his hands together. "But... these past few days have made Tsunade think twice on refusing on their request..."

"That woman does not have the capacity to rule over one of the great cities of this nation," the shortest criticized.

"What are you going to do if she accepts?" the taller one watched Danzo get off of his seat and walk over to the glass windows that had a clear view of the city. The lights illuminated the scenery, keeping it awake even when it was dark. There were large statues, each forty feet tall, of four men standing next to one another, in a huge park that was in the center of the city.

"If she does take in the offer, then...I'll take drastic measures to get rid of her. All five cities are dying out, and the only way to get rid of the problems will be under my rule," he turned to his men, his eye narrowing in a serious manner. "And anyone who dares to get in my way will be eliminated."


"Yay! We're finally done!" a boy with blond spikey hair cheered as he and two other kids around his age ran down the streets of Konoha. Each of them carried a bucket that had cleaning supplies. They ran into an alleyway and all three pulled out a bag that was filled with the countless change they managed to get throughout their day. "Let's get some ramen at the stand!" the boy grinned. He wore a white shirt with a certain symbol and wore orange pants.

"Naruto...we don't have enough money for that," the girl said placing a hand on her hip. She had pink long hair and a bigger forehead compared to others. She wore a pink outfit with shorts and a shirt.

"Yes we do," Naruto argued as he sat down on the ground and began to count his change.

"Not enough to feed you," the other boy said with a frown. His hair was black, and he wore white shorts and a dark blue top. "And besides, we went there yesterday."

"But it's so good..."

"And expensive," Sakura said and smiled as an idea popped into her head. "How bout we buy some ice cream instead?"

Naruto's head shot up immediately and even Sasuke didn't seem to mind so much.

"But it has to be one of those cheap gallons at the store," he said.

"Let's do it!" Naruto jumped to his feet. All three of them poured their change into one big blue bag before running to their new destination.


Peace... such thing was never going to exist in reality. One could only dream of it...

The streets of Konoha were nothing but corrupted. Juveniles smoked and drank until they passed out while the rest of humanity fought against one another to survive. Even in the better districts in the city, people manipulated other individuals in a cruel manner. Humans were selfish and only cared for their own survival. There was no democracy... no more control over the people... Then again, that is what Obito, who walked in the dark alleyways of the city, believed..

He remembered, a long time ago, Konoha was the greatest city one could live in. It was a city where the possibilities were endless. Kids were able to play outside without parents worrying and the youth had real dreams... but of course, that didn't last long. Nothing good could ever last as long as humans had their own selfish desires. The rich became richer and the poor became poorer. Kids were now in the streets, orphaned, and the old forgotten.

Obito was a man with a horrible scar on the left side of his face. His hair was short and black, and he had worn out clothes that he had worn for many years. His past was one he tried to forget and now he only lived to observe. He saw how girls and boys alike were stripped of their pride, and how people lost their lives in the most gruesome ways possible. It was, in a way, a reality check for him.

He stopped in his tracks when he heard a scream nearby. He looked around, huge walls of two buildings stood on either side of him.

"Let her go!" the voice definitely belonged to a young boy.

"Please, don't do this!" this time it sounded like a girl, pleading to what Obito imagined to be some people taking advantage of children.

He stayed in place for a moment before walking in the direction that the screams came from. He turned a corner that directed him to another alleyway and kept him in the shadows. He saw a big man throw a young boy against the wall, while two other kids backed away. Obito guessed all three were around the same age, maybe ten years old?

"Don't you dare hurt Sasuke!" the girl yelled with tears daring to escape.

Sasuke shakily got back on his feet and glared daggers at their tormentor.

"I'll give you one more chance. Give me that bag and I'll leave you three alone," the muscular guy with a bald head hissed.

"Never," Sasuke growled, keeping a tight grip on the blue bag.

"Then have it your way," the guy ran at the boy and dished out a sky uppercut to the boy harshly in the stomach.

"Sasuke!" the girl shrieked as the boy hit the ground hard; he coughed violently as his body twitched from the pain he was going through. The girl ran over to him with tears now running down her cheeks.

Obito decided to walk off before things got messy. He knew it was a matter of time for the kids to lose against the man.

"You're going to pay for that!" the blond yelled and quickly placed his hands together to form a certain hand seal, one that got Obito's attention.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Obito stared a bit in shock to see the boy create four solid clones around their tormentor. They all looked like the original one. Such a technique was only done by officials or powerful men. He couldn't believe a street brat pulled it off.

The clones let out battle cries as they lunged at the muscular man, but they were struck down easily in a matter of seconds. The kid was kind of talented, but was still weak.

"Naruto, stop!" the girl helped Sasuke sit up. "Let's just give him what he wants!"

Naruto looked at her in disbelief for even considering such an action.

"But Sakura, we worked too hard to just give it away," Naruto argued, annoyed.

"Damn it," Sasuke coughed out before he threw the bag to the man's feet. He knew they were no match for the tyrant. "There, take it, leave us be," he hissed as his hand clutched his stomach.

Their tormentor chuckled and picked up the bag with little satisfaction. He opened the bag and frowned at how little there was.

"It seems this won't be enough for the trouble you guys have caused me," he said pointing at a cut he had on his left cheek. "But maybe your blood on these walls will satisfy me."

Sakura and Naruto's eyes widened as the man placed his hands together to form a hand seal. Sasuke glared at him as he struggled to get back on his feet.

"Run!" he screamed at his friends who were frozen with fear.

"Die!" the tyrant yelled, but then his body staggered back with a cough; he felt something had hit his back. Hard. He turned to see a lid from a trash can on the ground. His eyes flashed to the one responsible for the assault.

Obito walked out from the shadows.

"You're going to regret that," the man's hands turned into fists, fingers cracking in the process.

Obito said nothing. He simply stared down at the man with an emotionless face. He looked physically weaker than the bigger man, but even then he didn't falter.

Naruto took this chance to make a clone, which quickly kicked the back of the man's leg harshly. The guy let out a painful cry, losing his grip on the bag. Naruto dove in, catching the bag before jumping away.

The tyrant stumbled forward but regained his composure quickly and was about to run after the boy, but Obito appeared behind him and struck him by the back of his neck, knocking him out cold.

Naruto turned around, surprised at how Obito was able to beat the man so easily. His friends stared at Obito for a while in contemplative silence.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes at the man with suspicion.

"Wow!"

Obito slightly cringed at the loud, obnoxious voice. The kid ran up to him, eyes glittering with awe. The scarred man took a step back, feeling a bit uncomfortable by how his personal space was intruded. He also noticed how the boy had strange markings on his cheeks, ones that actually looked familiar...

"You're so strong," Naruto said astonishingly. "Thank you for saving us!

Obito frowned at the boy's words. He was about to deny the boy's claim, but was cut off with the boy's continuous outbursts.

"You're like a hero!" Naruto exclaimed, but then was quiet for a few seconds as his eyes widened as something crossed his mind.

He looked up at the man with a realization. "Like the hero that's going to save this world!"

Obito's mind went blank, and he stared at the boy with a stoic expression; and before the boy could go explain himself, Obito took off.
