Chapter 1
Naruto landed back in the campsite holding his upper side. The village had been under attack from Madara and his group for the last three days and they were wearing thin even with the help from the Sand. Shikamaru looked at him as he stumbled to the table where Shikamaru, Shikaku and Tsunade stood working on plans for the fights.
"The west wall is holding but not for long. Sasuke is holding it for now but Madara's pushing harder and harder one the two of us." Naruto reported before he winced at a deep breath. "It's not going to be long before we're over run out there."
"How bad is your wound?" Shikaku asked seeing Naruto shift slightly still holding his upper side.
"It's nothing. Sasuke or me will be back in another couple hours for another report."
"Naruto." Tsunade warned making him look at her. Even at 19, he still knew when she meant business and knew better than to avoid her orders. "Let me see." He winced as he shifted letting her see the large wound. "Naruto!" She scolded as she started healing it.
"The fox will heal it, Granny. Save it for the village." Naruto said pulling back as he disappeared in a flash of yellow. Tsunade looked after him angrily before she turned back to trying to figure plans out. Naruto slammed his fist into a summons that was about to attack Sasuke.
"About time you showed back up Dobe." Sasuke said as the two stood side-by-side getting ready to attack again. "You get that wound taken care of?"
"What wound?" He smirked as Sasuke rolled his eyes and the two took off through the army stomping towards them.
Three hours later Naruto saw a slug on his shoulder telling him to go back to base. He looked over to see Sasuke stop and look towards him. The two took off back to base landing at the same time as their friends. All looking at Tsunade confused.
"What's going on?" asked Kiba as he looked around.
"We need to get things worked out quickly before we are over run." Tsunade said.
"Having all of us here isn't helping out there." Sasuke said before Naruto made a hand sign and suddenly there was a bright yellow flash before Naruto dropped to a knee making Sasuke catch him as Sakura ran over quickly only to have Naruto wave her off.
"Naruto..."
"I'm fine, Granny. What are we going to do?"
"There's no way to come out alive in this." Neji said.
"Then let's take them out with us." Kiba said making the others look at him.
"There's no way we're going to all just rush out there and take as many as we can before they kill us." Temari protested.
"There has to be some other way." Tenten said as the others started looking slightly worried.
"Is there anything we can do?" Ino asked as she stood with Sakura who was helping Sasuke to keep Naruto on his feet. The group irrupted in talk of what to do.
"Family records." Naruto said softly before looking up at Tsunade. "The records." Everyone started to quiet down.
"What are you talking about?" Sakura asked confused.
"The family records of the highest ranking clans held hundreds and thousands of scrolls on all kinds of things."
"What's that have to do with anything?"
"Do you think they had something that could help?" Kakashi asked as Naruto stood thinking for a minute.
"They do." Tsunade said making everyone look at her. "It's the best clan in the entire village, he made one."
"What are you talking about, Lady Tsunade?" Ino asked.
"Naruto…" They looked at him as he took a small breath before taking his full weight before he nodded and disappeared making everyone look around.
"What's he going to look for?" Shikaku asked making Tsunade look at him before Naruto landed beside Tsunade. He knelt on one knee before taking a breath and pushing himself up. He handed her a scroll and let her look at it.
"This is it." Tsunade said handing it back to Naruto. "Namikaze scroll, you know there are wards allowing only Namikaze to see it." She said as he nodded.
"What's the use if only the Namikaze can use it? The last one died with the fourth." Ino said as Kakashi watched Naruto look at him and Tsunade.
"What happens if you open it if you're not a Namikaze?" asked Hinata.
"You'll have you're chakra completely drained." Kakashi said as Naruto turned quickly to look out into the distance.
"This scroll will take as many as you chose to go with you. It's going to manipulate time and space and it will take you back to a time you choose. That's what Jiriaya had said when Minato told him about it." Tsunade explained as Naruto nodded. "You better get moving this army is not going to be held off for long." Naruto looked at her as Sakura and the others looked concerned.
"Naruto, you're already low on chakra, if you open that it will take all of your chakra." Sakura said as Naruto looked at Kakashi.
"Take team 7." Naruto nodded as they ignored the others telling Naruto not to open the scroll, that he was going to die. The army began swarming the village. Naruto opened the scroll scanned it and flew through signs until suddenly Madara was there going straight for Naruto making several signs of his own before everything went black.
There was a high scream in the blackness before things started to clear and a scene came into view. A young Ino stood looking down horrified before backing up.
"Where-where's my friend?" she asked as she backed up. "Where's Sakura?"
"What?" Sakura looked around before looking down seeing her pink skirt connected to the fishnet middle and the pink tank top with her knee high boots. "Naruto!" She said before jumping to her feet quickly before taking off to try to find Naruto. She landed on the Hokage tower and found Naruto unconscious as Kakashi landed to look at her as she started looking him over. They pulled his jacket free and found his massive wound on his upper side as he started to breathe shallowly. Sakura didn't waste any time starting to heal it as Shikamaru landed with them.
"Is he okay?" Kakashi asked as Sakura said back after a while.
"He'll live. He should have gotten this wound especially taken care of before any of this." She said as she looked at the spot that there had been a large gash opening his upper side up all the way through his bottom rib. "I stopped the bleeding and healed it for the most part but it's still going to take a while to have his ribs all heal. Several were broken one was cut all the way through. He's going to be sore."
"He used too much chakra too." They saw Naruto turn his head and groan as he started to come too. He slowly opened his blue eyes to see the two looking down at him.
"What happened?" He asked
"You almost died, that's what happened." Sakura said slightly angry as Kakashi helped him sit up. "What were you thinking? You're lucky the scroll didn't completely drain you."
"It wouldn't have." Naruto had Kakashi help him to his feet as several ANBU arrived surrounding them. The three turned and got ready to defend themselves. ANBU stood and attacked suddenly to capture them only to have the three move faster and more efficient than they had anticipated. Suddenly Naruto was gone in a flash and he had six ANBU sealed on the ground and he was sealing the seventh before he dropped to his knees holding his side with a wince making Sakura run to his side.
"Naruto…" She said as she steadied him and helped him back to his feet as he tried to calm his breathing.
"Minato?" They heard as Naruto stood and the wind gently moved his long jacket. They looked up to see Jiriaya and Tsunade standing by the doorway looking at them.
"No." Naruto said as he took his weight back from Sakura letting her keep him steady.
"Wha-what's going on? Who are you?"
"Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze." Naruto said making Sakura look at him shocked. "There's a war going on and we need to stop it before we're all killed from it."
"Naruto? What kind of joke is this? Naruto is only 13." Jiriaya said getting ready to fight as Naruto was about to fall and had to put weight back on Sakura. "What's going on?"
"There's a war, we need to stop it and we know how. We are here for that." Kakashi said as Jiriaya and Tsunade continued to watch Naruto as he shifted turning more towards Sakura letting his head dip as he spoke softly to her.
"Kakashi, Shikamaru." Sakura said calmly as the other man dropped beside them and the two looked at her as they saw her holding Naruto as he started coughing. The two move quickly helping her to ease him to the ground as he lifted his head to show blood coming from the corner of his mouth "Naruto…"
"What happened?" Tsunade asked as she and Jiriaya walked over to see what was going on.
"The war. He refused to have anyone heal him so he had massive damage; sealing those ANBU over there must have shifted something." She looked at him as she let her hands start to glow a soft green and she laid it on his side. "Naruto, you're going to have to use the Kyuubi. I can't stop the bleeding fast enough." She said getting worried as he started another coughing fit before he tried to force it to stop and he closed his eyes letting the Kyuubi through. Shikamaru and Kakashi took a step back as Naruto's eyes snapped open blood red.
"What…?" Jiriaya asked worried.
"Kyuubi, you have to stop the bleeding or Naruto will die. The red eyes closed and Sakura shoved as much chakra as she could into him. Suddenly Naruto grunted and looked around with blue eyes. "Naruto… does it hurt?"
"No, just wiped." He said softly.
"What the hell is going on? You can't be Naruto, who the hell are you?" Jiriaya asked "Who are all of you?"
"You don't believe me." Naruto smirked before he shifted to a crouch position before he bit his thumb and quickly made his signs and slammed it on the ground summoning a small red toad. "Who else can summon toads?" Jiriaya's eyes went wide as he watched Naruto take a slow breath.
"You're… you're really Naruto…" Jiriaya walked closer as Naruto released the toad and stood with the others.
"We need to see if anyone else was brought back." Shikamaru said looking out over the village. "Naruto, is there any way to find out if Temari came back or if we got Sasuke with us?"
"Naruto, you really shouldn't use too much chakra." Sakura warned.
"I'll be fine, Sakura." He said as he looked towards the west and he was gone in an orange flash. The two looked at the three left as they sighed.
"Naruto has grown a lot in the last five years." Kakashi smirked. "He's learned to control Minato-sensei's technique and he was able to turn it into his own." After waiting for five minutes, there was a flash and they saw Naruto breathing heavy as Temari helped hold him up. He slowed his breathing and stood straight as Temari went to Shikamaru.
"Naruto, what did you do?" Temari asked. "You were only supposed to bring you and your team back."
"I don't know. I opened the scroll and started I was on the last one when I saw Madara and that was it until I woke up to them." Naruto explained as he indicated the three from his time.
"Madara must have manipulated the jutsu as it was taking effect." Shikamaru said.
"It makes sense he is able to manipulate space if he was able to manipulate it while I turned the time and space… it makes sense."
"Naruto…" Jiriaya said making everyone look at him. "You're…"
"Smart." Tsunade finished as Naruto rubbed the back of his head before wincing from lifting his arms up. Sakura walked over to him with a small sigh.
"You need to be careful. Besides you know I have the chakra to be able to heal the village and the wounds you get." She started to heal him gently as Naruto smirked. "You know that."
"I know, but I can deal with injuries a lot better than others."
"You and Sasuke are too stubborn." She said shaking her head seeing him grin before he pushed harder on the place she was healing making Naruto wince and grunt.
"Sakura-chan." He whined as she finished healing.
"So what's your next move?" Jiriaya asked and saw everyone look at Naruto.
"We need to make sure Sasuke came back. He's the only one not in the village. If anyone else came back in the village they would have found us here already."
"How are we going to do that?" Temari asked.
"Sasuke?" Tsunade was curious.
"Naruto brought Sasuke back when we were seventeen. It nearly killed him and it took him almost a month to just wake up, and another three to heal." Sakura explained. "We had Sasuke locked up until Naruto was strong enough to help figure out how to free him."
"What do you mean?"
"Naruto was named a master sealer and the toad sage when he was seventeen. He was the only one who knew anything about the seals Madara was using, and he was able to free Sasuke of the jutsu Madara had put on him."
"It pulled both us close to death." Naruto said low. "He doesn't remember much but what he did saved the village for a while."
"Master sealer and toad sage?" Jiriaya asked raising an eyebrow as Naruto chuckled.
"Yeah, got other names too." He grinned before biting his left thumb flew through signs and summoned before anyone could say anything. "Hideo, track down Sasuke if he looks different come back and report. Otherwise help get him safe and get a message back to me."
"Yes master." Said a medium sized black fox before he lunged from the roof and was gone.
"Fox? I've never heard of a fox summon." Jiriaya said shocked as he saw Naruto grin.
"I told you, he's grown since the Naruto you know." Kakashi said. "He's the village's sealer, toad and fox sages and the orange flash." Tsunade and Jiriaya looked at Naruto as he grinned.
"Only the highest know about the foxes and I'm only the orange flash in the bingo books." Naruto explained.
"Naruto's not the only one who's grown is he?" Tsunade looked at the others who smirked and grinned as they looked at each other.
"Shikamaru the shadow stealer" Naruto started. "Sakura the slug sage and pink shadow, Sasuke the snake sage and the killing ghost."
"The others from our generation have their names too and most of us are in bingo books through the world. Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke are the only ones listed in the book of every nation in the entire world and are listed as kage level opponents only." Shikamaru said as making the two old ninja look at Naruto and Sakura.
"That's only when there's at least two of us together. They're just supposed to run when it's one of us." Sakura corrected.
"How good have you gotten?" Tsunade asked looking at the two before they saw a snake slither onto Naruto's shoulder.
"Ssss-sasuke is on his way. Going through valley of the end." Naruto nodded as the snake disappeared.
"What do you want to do?" Sakura asked Naruto.
"Sasuke was beat almost as bad as I was. He's going to need help especially if he came through with his wounds."
"How bad was that?" Temari asked worried about her friend.
"Sakura and I will get him. I don't know what Madara had planned but we don't know anything about him from this time. We'll meet you at Uchiha compound." He looked at Sakura. "Ready?"
"Let's get him home." Naruto quickly swiped her into his arms and they were gone.
"We should get to the compound and start getting ready for whatever they need." Kakashi said as Shikamaru and Temari nodded.
"So you're saying that Naruto, the kid who could barely control his chakra and was more stupid than the dirt, is not an amazing genius ninja?" Jiriaya asked as Kakashi chuckled.
"Something like that. I'll explain at the compound." He said before the three were gone running across the roof tops making the older ninja look at each other.
