Chapter 1
15-years old Uzumaki Naruto stood in front of the Memorial Stone looking at the names carved into it(His clothes are the same as when he fought Pein).
'Forgive me, everyone,' he thought to himself as he tipped his hokages hat bit more over his eyes.
Just about all his friends had been killed within the last half a year since the snake sannin Orochimaru had managed to take over Uchiha Sasukes body. He traced some of the names that had been carved into the stone. Haruno Sakura, his childhood crush. The young medic nin had gotten herself killed when they had run into Sasuke. The said boy had attacked Naruto only for Sakura to push him out of the way and taken the sword through her heart. Rock Lee and Might Guy, the two of them had been ambushed by a large group of Sound nins during a B-rank mission and after a long battle were overpowered and killed. Tenten would have cried in their funeral if she hadn't gotten killed along with Neji little over a month before. The 2 jounins had just gotten engaged and planing to get married in half a year when they had been send to a mission with Lee, Gai and Naruto. They had just set up camp when they were ambushed by ten sound nins. The first to fall had been Tenten when she was impaled by a sound nins sword. Seeing his future wife die caused Neji to go into a blind rage. It didn't take long for him to be killed as well. Naruto, Lee and Gai had been trying to pull him with them but with little success. They had managed to recover their dead teammates bodies when Naruto used his clones to distract the sound nins. InoShikaChou had fallen just a month ago along with Kiba, Shino and Asuma. Kurenai had managed to get away with Hinata but she too died soon because of the extensive wounds she had received during the escape. Hinata had been devastated by the death of her sensei. Things had really gone to hell when Orochimaru had decided to attack Konoha with full force. They had been able to push them back and make them retreat but as a result over 70% of Konohas ninja force had been killed along with Tsunade. As she was taking her last breaths she had named Naruto as her successor and the 6th hokage. The death of the 5th was a heavy impact on the whole village but the one who took it the hardest had been Naruto. During the time he and Tsunade had known each other they had become almost like a mother and son. Before Naruto could reminisce more he felt two slender arms wrap around his torso.
"You know their deaths aren't your fault," said a gentle voice.
"I know Hinata-chan. But I still feel like there could have been something I could have done to prevent their deaths," Naruto replied while still looking at the memorial stone.
"No one could have predicted any of this," Hinata replied.
"I know that but still..." Naruto said.
"Geez would you stop. Your making me depressed," came a rather harsh voice from within Naruto's mind.
'Hey Kyuubi. Had a nice sleep?' Naruto asked.
"Yeah until you got depressed. You know you could have given me a cave in here so I'd have some shelter from your depression rains," the Kyuubi replied.
Over the years Naruto had gained some respect from the giant fox that was sealed inside of him. They still hated each other but the Kyuubi would help out when needed.
'Whatever fox,' Naruto said inside his mind as he turned towards Hinata. "I'm gonna go to the office for a while. I'll see you later back home," he said to her.
"Alright Naruto-kun. Make sure to be back before dinner," Hinata said as she started to home.
It had been about a month after Kurenais death that Naruto had asked Hinata to marry him. She had accepted it right away. Even Hiashi had been happy about it since Naruto was the son of his best friend. The only one who had been a bit saddened by this was Hinatas twin sister Hanabi(Yes. Hinata and Hanabi are twins in this with Hinata being half an hour older).
Near dinner time in the Hokage tower
Naruto was standing and looking at a complex array of seals that littered the floor.
'It's almost complete. Just a few more seals and...' he thought to himself.
"What about your mate, Kit? She's gonna be really pissed when she find out you ditched her. And so is gonna be her little sister along with everyone else," came Kyuubi's voice.
'What can I do? This has been their home for their whole life. I doubt they'd want to leave it behind,' Naruto replied.
"So here you are Naruto," came a mans voice from behind Naruto causing him to jump a bit and quickly turn around.
He saw Hinata along with two boys and two girls walk into the room.
"So, you were planing to leave us you bastard," said a girl with shoulder length red hair.
She was wearing a full ANBU uniform with a tiger mask strapped to her waist.
"Now Tayuya, what did we talk about cursing?(Bet you didn't see that coming.)" asked a silver haired boy wearing the same equipment as the redhead except that his mask was a wolf.
"Not to say them to the Hokage," the girl named Tayuya replied.
The silver haired boy nodded.
"Remind me again how I fell in love with you?" Tayuya asked.
"Maybe because of the long line of colorful words I said when you kicked me below the belt," the silver haired boy replied as a blush slowly appeared on Tayuyas face.
"Nabushi you can reminisce with her about the past later. We have some other things to do now," said a boy with purple hair and scar over his right eye.
He was wearing the standard jounin outfit with the vest being dark purple and it was left open. He then turned towards Naruto.
"Why did you plan to leave without us?" he asked.
"First answer me this Dark. How did you find me?" Naruto asked the boy named Dark.
"Hinata asked us to find you after she didn't find you from the office. I then just checked all the shadows in the building," Dark explained.
The girl next to him nodded. She looked exactly like Hinata and was wearing the same outfit as Dark except her vest was black with white outlines.
"So, Naruto-nii why did you try to ditch us?" the girl asked causing Naruto to sigh.
"There's nothing for me here and I didn't think you guys would want to leave this place," he replied.
"I would follow you till the ends of the earth Naruto-kun," Hinata said walking up to Naruto.
"Where Hinata goes, I go," Hanabi replied.
While the others were talking Dark was looking over the large array of seals.
"It seems to be a time-traveling seal," said a demonic voice in his mind.
'Time-traveling seal?' Dark asked inside his mind.
"Yeah. It would allow the user to travel into a certain time though this is still not complete. There's about fifteen seals missing. Naruto most likely hadn't managed to complete it yet," the demonic voice.
'You know a lot about seals don't you, Hyou(Panther)' Dark replied in his mind.
"May I remind you that I'm a 3000 year old bijuu?" Hyou replied as he fell silent.
Dark then turned to the other occupants in the room.
"So, where were you planing to go Naruto?" he asked the blond Hokage.
When Naruto didn't reply he sighed.
"What time-period?" he specified causing the others to look at him.
"What are you talking about, Dark-kun?" Hanabi asked.
"These seals are a time-traveling seal. It would allow the user to travel into any point in time with all his or her memories attached," Dark explained.
"How do you know that?" Naruto asked.
"Hyou," Dark simply replied.
Naruto sighed in defeat.
"I was planing to return to when I was around nine and try to change the past," he replied.
"You mean like stop Uchiha-baka from leaving?" Nabushi asked earning a nod from Naruto.
"You should have told us. We would have gladly helped. I bet even our demons would have," Dark replied.
"Speaking of demons Ufuru has been quiet for a while," Nabushi said.
"Now that you mentioned it so has Kyuubi," Naruto said.
"Hyou's not answering either," Dark said.
"I wonder why," Nabushi said.
"Alright, we're back," came Kyuubis voice in Narutos mind.
'Where were you three?' Naruto asked.
"We were talking about your plan to go into the past," Kyuubi replied.
'And?' Naruto asked.
"Me, Hyou and Ufuru are going to merge with you three," Kyuubi replied.
'What would that mean?' Naruto asked.
"It would mean that me, Ufuru and Hyou would return to Makai and you three would become the new us," Kyuubi replied causing Naruto to go wide-eyed.
This reaction was mirrored by Dark and Nabushi.
"What's wrong you three?" Hanabi asked.
"Kyuubi, Ufuru and Hyou are going to merge with us if we go into the past making us demons," Dark replied.
"So... you would be immortal and out live us," Hinata said sad.
"No. Kyuubi just told me that he'll add some seals to this that will draw his, Hyous and Ufurus old mates who were sealed into the space between this world and Makai into you girls and merge them with you," Naruto replied.
"They would stay with us until we have a decent understanding of their abilities and chakra meaning until we reach out third or forth tail," Nabushi said.
"So, you girls up for it?" Naruto asked while looking at each of the girls.
"I already told you that I would follow you till the ends of the earth Naruto-kun," Hinata replied.
"And where Hinata goes, I go. Besides it'll give me more time to be with Dark-kun," Hanabi replied.
"You guys are not leaving me behind. Though I need to find away to get to Konoha before that bastard Orochimaru finds me," Tayuya said thoughtfully.
"Then it's decided. We're going back to the past," Nabushi said earning a nod from the others.
Right after that Narutos eyes became red and slitted, his whisker marks became thicker, his hair became wilder, he grew fangs and his nails turned to claws.
"Hey Kyuubi," Dark said.
"I'm only here to finish up the seal but I need Hyou and Ufuru to add few of their own seals in here," Naruto/Kyuubi said and started to work on the seals as Dark and Nabushi nodded.
Soon Darks eyes became slitted with blue hue, he grew fangs and his nails grew into claws. Nabushis usual red eyes became icy blue, his ears became slightly pointy, his hair became wilder, he grew fangs and his nails grew into claws.
"No matter how often I see that it's still a bit creepy," Hanabi said.
"Well my curse seal transformation wasn't much different so I'm pretty used to it," Tayuya said.
"Oh yeah, how's the blessed seal working?" Dark/Hyou asked.
"Pretty good. I just feel quite weak after using it," Tayuya replied gaining a nod from Dark/Hyou before starting to put his own seals into time-traveling seal.
About half an hour later all six teens were standing around the seal.
"I think we should have a meeting place so we'll know everyone made it there safely," Dark said.
"I agree. We also need a place where to train our demonic abilities without being found," Nabushi added.
All of them started to think.
"I think I know a place," Naruto said after a while gaining everyone's attention.
"There used to be a big clearing surrounded by a wall made from bushes in the forest behind the Hokage mountain. There was a small hole in the undergrowth around where the thirds head is," he explained.
"Then it's settled we meet there after we wake up," Dark said.
"Hold on. Ufuru just said that the merging will cause us to grow ears, tail and claws and our chakra will be out of whack for a few days so we can't use any jutsus," Nabushi cut in.
"That's gonna be a problem. Tail can easily by hidden under your clothes or by wrapping it around your waist and you can keep keep your hands in your pockets but the ears are a problem," Dark said with his hand on his chin.
"I have few hooded jackets so me and Hanabi-chan can use those," Hinata said gaining a nod from her sister.
"I think I have a bandana or two," Dark said.
"And I know Konoha like the back of my hands so I should be able to get to the meeting place without been seen," Naruto said.
"I won't be in Konoha until year or two later so I don't need to worry about these things," Tayuya said.
"Alright. I think that's everything we needed to plan," Dark said.
"Yeah. We have a meeting place and plan to get there so I think we're ready to get this show on the road," Naruto said stepping inside the seal and was soon followed by others.
He then started to go through numerous hand seals as the seal under then started to glow.
"Hold on to your tails. This is gonna be one hell of a ride," said Kyuubi, Ufuru and Hyou in unison.
'Very funny,' Nabushi and Dark replied as Naruto finished the final seal causing the room to be covered in bright flash and then darkness.
Dark: Well that's it for this chapter. Sorry that it's short.
