What you recognize I don't own. Naruto and the rest of the group including the Sand siblings, the senseis, and two of the Sannin have gone back to the past and remember everything up to their deaths. Sasuke never left the village due to a letter Itachi made sure he got the day he graduated so that Sasuke understood what happened the day of the massacre and even though he still got the curse mark Sasuke knew that Itachi wouldn't want him to go with Orochimaru for power and as such remained in the village. Itachi tried to meet back up with Konoha during the war with Akatsuki but unfortunately was killed before he managed it, though he did get to meet up secretly with his brother to pass intel a few times. When the true war against Madara began everyone became one in regards to the villages in the Fourth great Shinobi war but the alliance lost and those left died in a final desperate attack against the enemy, with Obito regaining his true self and returning to the side of good. Now that they're back will they be able to change things for the better or will they fail again and lose everything like before? Hand signals will be astrisked

Naruto suddenly woke up after remembering a particularly harsh battle right before their last desperate attack against Madara, when he looked at himself though he found out he was younger and when he looked at the calender he found out it was the day after graduation, the day after he got his hitai-ate from Iruka. Seeing that it was still dark out he knew he could go to the designated meeting spot that he and the others had agreed upon during the Akatsuki war shortly before Konoha was destroyed for good without any trouble. He didn't know if the others remembered the future like he did but he decided to go with the agreement they had during the future, he was to wait two days and if no one came then he was to assume he was the only person and make plans from there. Since he was in the past the plans were basically to do what he could to change the future by himself, the original plans though were to find what few allies they had left and make an attack plan against the enemy if possible, otherwise it would be a true suicide mission. When he got there he didn't see anyone so he made sure he would be protected and then went back to sleep against the trunk of a tree and simply hoped others would remember because during the trip to their location he realized that if he was the only one who remembered getting things to change would be a very difficult task indeed since he wouldn't be able to act his true self around anyone else and as such he couldn't let anyone in on his plans. Sunrise came and since he knew it would be a week before team assignments Naruto simply ate a bar of food that he managed to get from Iruka one time when they were learning about food in the field, and while Naruto didn't like the food bars he kept a few because they were a gift from Iruka

"So I have until tomorrow for the others to show up, man I hope Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Sai remember because otherwise even if the others remember that means only sixteen people remember the future and it will be hard to change the future with so little remembering what happened, with even six more people remembering at least two villages will be ready in time"

Suddenly Naruto senses several people and gets ready for an attack which never comes because it was the remainder of his team minus Sai and team Gai, but he doesn't immediately trust that they remember the future. Back when the war happened and things started going downhill the group which had been called the Konoha 12 by some people had developed codes for one reason and one reason only, there had been several attempts at bringing in impostors into the village and while a few succeeded in getting in the core fighters were never able to be faked due to the codes that they had developed. Due to the unique situation Naruto knew he had to not only use the identification codes but also come up with a story if they questioned him about said codes

"Situation Foxtrot 4 location Delta 9, Shinobi down 15"

"Situation Zulu, Zulu 6, location Delta 7, Shinobi up 113"

"Situation Zulu, Delta 8 location Beta 4, Shinobi down 97"

"Situation Foxtrot 4 location Delta 9, Shinobi helped 442"

"Situation Foxtrot 4 location Delta 9, frontal assault, unknown Shinobi down"

Naruto visibly relaxes

"You guys remember, Kakashi-sensei what now?"

"Now we wait to see if the others also remember, but in the meantime I think we need to test something out which will be easy, Sakura, try and hit me with your best shot"

"Right"

Sakura hits Kakashi in the stomach but while Kakashi is a little winded he isn't all that affected

"No way"

"Okay, you guys remember everything but you're back at graduation level physically, and for Team Gai they're back at the level they were before the Chunin exams"

"We have a lot of work to do if we're going to get back to our true levels in time for the exams"

"That might not be possible with so little time available Sasuke, by the way you think you can get Itachi back with us this time?"

"Doubt it, the Akatsuki mission really is important to the village and then there's the fact that not many know the truth behind the massacre"

"Gai-sensei is there any way you guys can find out if Gaara, Temari and Kankuro remember the future while you're out on missions?"

"Sorry Naruto, we never ran into them until the exams"

"Then that will just have to wait, hope the other rookies also remember"

"If they do, we're not treating you guys as fresh Genin, or at least I won't, don't know about the others"

"Man, if Asuma-sensei is alive that might freak out Shikimaru initially and then there's the fact that he won't know everything that happened after his death"

"We'll just have to deal with it as situations come up, Kakashi-sensei what are you going to do about Obito?"

"For now nothing, I can't do anything though it was nice to find out that he was alive and only fought against us because of the lies Madara fed him, that and the fact that he didn't get the whole truth about why I killed Rin"

"You had no choice sensei, she forced your hand"

"Exactly, and maybe I can transfer my memories to him if I see him as Tobi this time"

"That might help us get him back to our side much sooner"

"Exactly"

The other two teams soon arrive and pass the test as well and then Asuma asks if he missed anything in the war and is told everything that he needed to know

"Okay now then, you guys are all technically Chunin or Jonin not Genin so we're going to train you guys like the soldiers you are, however we can't take the missions that you can do until later since no one knows the truth"

"Okay, we need to do the training in secret though Sandaime has a crystal ball that he has to keep an eye on the village"

"Yeah that makes sense, okay we have a plan then"

"So how fast do you nine think you can get back to war condition?"

"Not sure Neiji-nisan"

"Hinata, just call me Neiji, think uncle should know I know the truth about father?"

"No, but you're going to have to keep up the act of hating them until after the exams so that he shows you that scroll with the truth"

(Sighs) "this is going to be a long six months at the compound"

"Kiba, think you can fool your family?"

"Not with their noses, I come home smelling like I train hard all day and they're likely to ask questions that I can't answer"

"We need new living arrangements then"

They all look to Naruto because during the war they all lived in the Namikaze compound since the Uchiha district was ravaged during the Orochimaru incident and while it had been partially rebuilt, when it got destroyed a second time when the village was destroyed with Sasuke's permission they never rebuilt the district and as such needed a new place to sleep and since Kakashi never lived at his place and it was too small in any case they moved in with Naruto who had the room because the Namikaze compound was combined with the Uzumaki compound which was given to Kushina after her village was destroyed and as such with Naruto being the heir of both the Uzumaki and Namikaze names he got their lands and he combined it all into one land legally when it was given to him

"Hey I'm not supposed to know my parents right now so we don't have access to their land"

"The Uchiha district will work temporarily but after the invasion it won't, well okay it will work short term but if we don't find a place before the village is destroyed by Akatsuki, depending on several things we'll be property hunting until Naruto is officially told about his parents"

"Look into something else then?"

"Looks like"

"For now since you guys haven't officially been given team assignments you're going to have to make sure not to make anyone suspicious"

"Why was it delayed a week anyways?"

(Sighs) "I don't know, Iruka-sensei will be fine by tomorrow but we still have to wait a week"

"I think it's because Hokage-sama has to deal with the traitor"

"True, though Mizuki-sensei won't give up Orochimaru"

"True but we'll see what we can get"

"That's right, forgot you mentioned Mizuki being a traitor shortly before you left for your training with Jiraiya-sama"

"By the way, only team 7 can live at the compound seeing as how the rest of us have clans that expect us to live with them"

"You have a point, but maybe we'll figure something out a bit later if you guys still want to live together like we used to"

"Yeah, we can't very well camp out here every night but for now there's nothing we can do"

"Oh Neiji, if you want help with acting look me up a little later, I have plenty of practice"

"Good point, if I have trouble I'll let you know"

"Okay, for now though we should do what we originally did until our team assignments"

"That means the mission office for us"

"Good point Tenten"

The group splits up and the next week was spent with team 7 secretly moving into the Uchiha complex and the rest simply waiting or doing missions depending on if they were officially assigned a team or not. Finally the day of assignment came and as expected they were assigned the teams they thought they would be and Kakashi was deliberately late but no traps this time. When they got to the roof they simply decided to hash out a plan for the next day

"So you guys already know what the test for tomorrow is about, what are the plans instead?"

"Bell test with a difference?"

"That could work, before things really got heated I was thinking of doing another bell test like when you came home from training Naruto, just to see how much further you guys had advanced since then but of course with the war going the way it did we never got that chance"

"Okay we'll go with that then"

"Think the others will meet up and do the same thing?"

"Who knows, after tomorrow we can regularly go to the meeting spot to do sparring, that wouldn't be suspicious, or at least it won't be as suspicious as it would have been the last week"

"He has a point"

The next day they did the bell test with a difference. The difference was that they weren't trying to actually get the bells through teamwork because that had been worked on before Jiraiya had taken Naruto for two years to deal with Akatsuki while during the war the teamwork had been perfected to an art form between the Konoha twelve, and Sai who they knew wouldn't show up yet and they weren't even sure if he remembered, had also managed to work with them extremely well, though never getting to the point that the twelve did of just a few hand signs or a simple facial expression and a conversation was had. It ultimately turned into an all out spar that helped them identify other areas that needed to be worked on again and how to get back up to proper strength
