This is my first fic I've written so I apologize if it sucks, I really like Naruto time travel stories so I figured I would give one a try. This story will be mostly Kiba centric though there will be two other main characters that will be revealed in due time. I'm not entirely happy with this chapter but I figured if I didn't publish it now I would never get around to it so I hope you at least kind of enjoy this. Constructive criticism is welcome. This fic has spoilers for the manga so if you're not up to date with the manga and care about spoilers don't say I didn't warn you.

Edited to make it easier to read and fix some grammatical errors

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto obviously


To say Kiba was angry was a slight understatement in fact he was livid. Of all the people Naruto could have sent back in time it had to be him, seriously what had he been thinking, sure he had been the only one around at the time and Naruto had been dying but he'd seemed like he could have lasted at least an hour before he keeled over.

But no Naruto had insisted that he send him back so he knew he'd succeeded in sending at least one person back to fix 'things' as he'd put it. The only problem with that sentiment in Kibas' mind was that he didn't know how to fix half of the things that had gone wrong, he wasn't like Naruto he hadn't really been a major player in anything after the whole Sasuke retrieval disaster and even then he hadn't been that major.

He only had a vague idea on what had gone wrong in the past, or the present as it now was. He now had this huge responsibility on his shoulders that Naruto had placed on him, the bastard. His only reassurance were the words Naruto had said to him before he'd sent him back.


Flashback/Forward?

Naruto, Kiba noted looked like shit and the only thing that was keeping him from telling Naruto just that was that he himself probably looked just as bad.

"Are you okay Naruto?" Kiba asked despite already knowing the answer, of course he wasn't 'okay' most of their friends were dead and though they seemed to have won the war somehow (Kiba didn't know how he'd been busy fighting for his life at the time and now didn't seem like the time to ask).

Naruto looked at him incredulously, "no Kiba I'm not okay actually I'm dying".

Kiba flinched, so he was going to lose yet another friend, he then noted Naruto's tone of voice "Why do you sound like you're fine with that!?" Kiba shouted because shit he'd already lost so many people he didn't want to lose Naruto too.

"Because Kurama and I", Kiba blinked at him confused, "Kyuubi" Naruto clarified before going on "we have an idea that has the potential to fix everything" this confused Kiba further what could possibly be done to fix everything this brutal albeit short war had destroyed.

Naruto ignored his friends confused expression and continued on, "Kurama says that we can send people back in time at least in theory we can".

Kiba looked dumbstruck, "how is tha-"

Naruto interrupted, "don't ask me how the whole thing works it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but Kurama and the other bijuu inside of me seem to and I trust them".

Kiba's eyes widened, "other bijuu?"

Naruto shook his head, "it's a long story that we don't have time to tell if this plan is going to work".

Kiba nodded before freezing in horror, "wait you want to send me back in time! What the hell could I change?".

Naruto looked at him impatiently, "we don't have time to be picky I'm dying if you haven't forgotten, you can make a bigger difference than you think Kiba and don't you want to see Akamaru again?".

Kiba looked at him angrily that was a low blow, "of course I do but why can't you send yourself back in time".

Naruto shook his head again, "Kurama says it's not possible to do it to myself but I can do it to other people",

"Then send someone else"

Naruto began to look exasperated, "do you see anyone else around here!"

"No but I can't do this on my own this is way too big for me to handle alone you have to see that, I can't possibly handle this by myself!" Kiba sounded desperate.

"I know Kiba and I'm sorry but you're my only hope right now…" he paused looking thoughtful obviously listening to the creatures inside of him, he smiled.

"What?" Kiba asked, annoyed that couldn't hear the inner conversation.

"Apparently I have enough chakra left to send two other people back with you"

Kiba looked relieved "so let's go find two more people".

"No I'm going to send you back now and then see if I can find anyone else I'll tell them to meet you"

"Meet me where?"

"Um… how about Ichiraku?"

Kiba stared at him, "seriously?" before nodding his agreement.

Naruto smiled at him, "Now this may feel a little funny..."

Kiba realized what he was doing too late, he still had so many questions "Naruto wait!" there was a bright flash and then nothing.

Kiba had then woken up on his back in what was presumably the past with no idea how far back he was or how he could possibly fix everything that had gone wrong it was a daunting task to say the least.


Naruto hadn't even given him a chance to ask about certain events, even if Naruto could only give him a succinct version of what needed to be changed he would have been better off than he was now, his only comfort was the two mystery people who may or may not have been sent back with him.

His first order of business was working out when he was exactly he looked down at himself and swore loudly to himself, he looked tiny he couldn't be older than five and that was stretching it. How far back had Naruto sent him exactly, he needed to know.

He looked at his surroundings and quickly realized that he was not in Konoha, he was in a forest but since the forest surrounding Konoha was massive that wasn't much to go on, he could only hope that he was near Konoha.

For some reason this situation felt familiar, distantly he realized that he was becoming slightly hysterical, this was all too much, so to try and distract himself he decided to try and find his way back to Konoha.

This task proved harder than he thought as even with his enhanced sense of smell it had took him three hours to get in sight of Konoha and by then he was pretty sure his family would've noticed he was missing.

On top of that he didn't feel prepared in the least to face his family and friends again, the scars from losing them were fresh to him and he had to get it into his head that he hadn't lost anyone here.

As he got in sight of the gates Kiba knew he was in trouble as he saw his sister Hana who looked about eleven in his estimations, barreling towards him with her three dogs the Haimaru brothers.

At the sight of his big sister Kibas chest tightened and his eyes watered, "where the hell have you been Kiba, I've been looking all over for you?" Kiba wracked his mind for an explanation before realizing what day it must be because he was having some serious déjà vu. Today was the day when he in all his five year old minds wisdom had decided that he was old enough to leave the village on his own, so he had made it his personal mission to sneak out, he figured it would be good ninja training at the time.

However once he had successfully sneaked out he had become hopelessly lost and in the previous timeline Hana and his mom had found him just before sunset, at least this time around he'd been able to find his own way back.

So now at least he knew that he was about eleven years in the past and he was newly five. During his recollection he'd unconsciously grabbed his sister and he now found himself trying and failing to stop himself from crying, curse this body! He began to sob into his sisters' chest, he wasn't sure if it was out of relief or sadness because the last time he'd seen her she'd been dead and this was all so confusing.

He felt that hysterical feeling he'd had earlier returning but stronger. Through all this Hana was decidedly confused as her little brother who wasn't usually clingy or one for crying was now doing both, it worried her that something bad may have happened to him.

So she scooped her still crying little brother up into her arms and walked back towards the gate. The two Chuunin on duty (a young Izumo and Kotetsu) looked concerned, Hana turned to them angrily "how did you let a five year old get out of the gate without you noticing!".

Izumo had the decency to look sheepish, "how did he get away from you in the first place?" grumbled Kotetsu who didn't appreciate being talked down to by a 11 year old girl,

Now Hana looked sheepish before retorting, "he is sneakier than he looks and it's not my job to watch the gate".

Kotetsu went to say something else before Izumo stopped him "were sorry we didn't see your brother were pretty new to gate duty, it won't happen again we promise" he looked at the sobbing child in her arms "is he going to be okay?"

Hana nodded, "I'm sure he'll be fine once he's calmed down a little".

Kiba was trying to calm himself down but he was having difficulties, he managed to pull himself together enough to remember that it was vitally important that he go to Ichiraku as soon as possible. So after a few seconds of sobs being reduced to sniffles he asked, "can we stop at Ichiraku's?",

Hana looked at him curiously, "why?"

"My friend is going to be there".

"Who is this friend?" Hana asked suspiciously,

Kiba shrugged, "You'll see if you let us stop there",

"I don't think you've behaved well enough today to get to see your friend",

Kiba pouted at that, "what if I make you a deal?"

This piqued Hana's interest, "what could you possibly have to offer".

"If you let me go to Ichiraku, mom doesn't need to know that anything happened here and we both know that that is in your best interests because you would be in more trouble than me, you were meant to be watching me",

Hana narrowed her eyes at his blackmail, "I'll agree if you tell me what happened in the woods to upset you so bad"

Kiba froze at that, he couldn't tell her the truth obviously so he decided to tell a half truth, "I was just happy to see you again I thought I'd never get out of those woods".

Hana seemed to accept his explanation before narrowing her eyes again,"And why were you in the woods in the first place?",

"Um... I thought sneaking out of the village would be good training"

Hana smiled at him, "and you got yourself lost in the woods?" Kiba nodded, Hana shook her head and laughed a little "well I hope you learned your lesson" Kiba nodded again .

Seeing that he'd calmed down somewhat she set him down before pointing behind him "were here" Kiba span around and looked to see who his salvation was 'please be Kakashi or Shikamaru', his eyes landed on a small figure sitting at the stand. Kiba groaned he was going to punch Naruto the next time he saw him.


Any guesses as to who the other two people are going to be?
