I do not own Naruto. If I did, Sakura would be dead and Naruto would be a super-God.

Shizune looked out at the corpse of her husband, the 6th Hokage. After years of trying to prove himself, Naruto Uzumaki finally made it. And in true Hokage fashion, he sacrificed his own life in order to save his village.

Sasuke Uchiha had returned, and in order for him to be defeated, he released the Kyuubi, which in turn destroyed the rebel forces as well as his own life.

"I cant believe he's dead"

Next to the grieving widow was the full blown form of the fox itself.

"After years of wanting freedom from my cage, I never in my wildest dreams thought that the kid would die." The reason why no-one was panicking was because after years of imprisonment, Naruto bonded with the demon lord, after years of being stuck within him, the Kyuubi had finally respected Naruto, and thought of him as his own kit.

"I know."

Their romance was an odd one for the 2 of them. At first it would never have happened, but after Tsunade had been comatose, Naruto and Shizune began spending more time together, and eventually, they began to fall in love. When the war began, Naruto was placed on the island turtle with Kirabi, in order to strengthen the bond between the jailer and prisoner. With his new love beside him. After the war was won, and Madara was dead, Naruto realised that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Shizune. After that things grew, marriage came first, then Naruto became Hokage, then Sasuke and Sakura attacked with an army, with the orders to wipe out Konoha.

Sakura had gotten jealous of Shizune, she had always thought that she would have had Naruto at her beck and call for ever. Yet it was not to be. So Sakura left for Sasuke, and when they attacked, Sakura's target was Shizune. Sasuke's target was Naruto. After seeing his beloved and his village about to be destroyed by an overwhelming force of shinobi from the minor villages and Iwa, Naruto went berserk, and instead of simply summoning the Kyuubi, he did the one thing he knew would save them all, and sacrificed his own life in order for the true Kyuubi to eliminate all of the enemy ninja.

Kyuubi looked as his only friend was lowered into his grave,, with the entire village looking on in respect, as he was buried in a row of true heroes.

First was the 1st Hokage himself, the founder of the leaf, and once considered the most greatest ninja of his time, as the Wood style user, and controller of the tailed beasts.

Next was the 2nd Hokage, an ultimate water style user, considered on par with his brother.

After, was the 3rd, once considered the God of Shinobi, in his prime, he was the best of the best. Yet sacrificed his very soul for his village.

Then, The Yellow Flash, a legend, sacrificing his soul to defeat the Kyuubi.

The 5th Hokage came next, Tsunade Senju, using her greatest healing technique to heal everyone in the Shinobi war from their wounds after Madara's greatest Space-Time attack.

Finally was Naruto himself, mourned by, the Kyuubi, his friends, the village, his sensei's, the most important members of the other villages. Yet most sorrowful were 3 people. His wife, his ex-sensei Kakashi Hatake, and his greatest friend, Gaara Subaku, the Kazekage of Suna.

Overlooking the proceedings was Naruto's successor, a man who Naruto personally entrusted the leaf to before he died. One Shikamaru Nara, Naruto's best friend from the leaf, and an incredibly powerful shinobi.

"I just cant believe that he's actually gone. If there was anything I could do to bring him back to me" started Shizune, "if only just for us to be with each other for a while longer. Maybe if things had been different..."

"Maybe there is a way." Spoke up Kyuubi. At this the crowd looked up at the fox in shock. "Using the combined power of myself and all of the bijuu, there may be a way to, effectively, turn back time. The only problem is, the one who would go back might go back to any point in their time-line. It's never been done before, but it is theoretically possible."

"I'll do it!" yelled Shizune. I don't care about where or when, I need to be able to see him again, I need to stop all of this from happening."

Kyuubi looked at Shizune for a long while. "You must realise that this could only be done once right? There wouldn't be a second chance. There would only be that one time. You and I would be the ones to have full memories, but only you would be able to awaken them."

"What about other people?"

"Well, there are memory transfer jutsu's that you could use, but you would have to be very, very careful as to whom you would distribute your memories to." Kyuubi looked up in thought. "Lets do this then."

"What? Right now?" asked Shizune.

"Yes! The Gedo statue wields the bijuu, and I am still linked to it. Therefore we will do this right now. Prepare yourself human." Kyuubi yelled out a huge amount of chakra, and yelled a great word of power.

For Shizune, the shock of this happening immediately was an almost insane concept. And before she had any time to comprehend the events occurring, her world went completely dark.

"Shizune, hey Shizune" said woman was struggling to open her eyes. When she finally did, she saw someone dead, her mentor, Tsunade. "Come on, we got to move to the next town."

Shizune's form bolted up immediately.

She had actually made it back.

So what do you think for a first chapter for a new story?

I know that I have another one ongoing, but I intend to place that on hiatus for now, as this one is more appealing.

Til next time.
