Chapter One: Travel

The form of the fifteen year old Naruto dashed through the forest at her top speed. Her long golden hair was let out, hanging loosely, reaching to half through her back, her azure eyes focused solely on her destination, her mission, her promise. Almost… there… Sasuke… SASUKE! She stopped as she noticed a chakra signature coming towards her. It was similar to his but… different. That meant one thing. If it's not the teme… then… It's… "What an unpleasant surprise… Itachi Uchiha!"

"Hello, Naruto-kun." Her eyes narrowed.

"What do you want?!"

"Don't be hasty, Naruto-kun… After all, I'm here to set things right… For you and, maybe, you can alter reality."

She looked at him suspiciously. "What the hell are you on about?"

"I'm going to send you into an alternate reality."

"Why? What's the point in that?!"

"… You'll be able to change things, if you do it right, and… You'll probably meet your parents, isn't that something you want?"

"Answer my question. What's the point in that?!"

"Naruto-kun, I'll tell you, the real reason for the Uchiha clan being slaughtered wasn't because of a whim. It was to stop a civil war. I'm entrusting you… to change reality."

"And change, and defy, fate."

"… More or less."

"How can I even trust you?!"

"You can either believe me or you don't. You don't have a choice either way."

"What—?!" Her eyes widened as seals appeared beneath her. The seals were a glowing red as some unknown power lashed out on her, chaining her wrists, ankles and waist. "NO! I… URGH! NO!" She struggled and struggled… and struggled… But she couldn't get free. She glared at Itachi. "What did you do?!"

"Naruto-kun," He started, unaffected by her glare, though becoming a bit nervous as her eyes flickered to a crimson. "This world is doomed to end. At least, this way, you have another chance. You'll see all our counter parts and our own counterpart… However, make the most of this. I entrust my brother's counterpart to you. Oh, just remember, you have a chance to help stop Kyuubi. Stop Madara from summoning him. Fare well."

"WAIT?! HEY! WHA—" In a burst of a red light, she disappeared.

Itachi looked grimly at the sky. "… This world is already doomed. Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki… Good luck on your new life." And, as Itachi said that, the sky steadily became a pitch black, the clouds turned blood red, not unlike the Akatsuki cloak he was wearing.

"… This is the fate Akatsuki has doomed this world to."

Itachi knew there wasn't long left for this world to exist. So, with that thought in mind, he continued in the direction Naruto had went in, hoping to see his brother one last time before the end of this world.

"Such a foolish little brother I have."

"Sensei! I see someone! Oi, sensei!" Yelled the boisterous voice of a young black haired and eyed boy. A man with golden blonde hair and azure eyes looked up at his young student, as did two other young ninjas around the black haired boy's age, one a girl, the other a boy.

"Really, Obito? But who'd be out in the forest at this time?" He asked, mostly to himself more than anyone else. Walking over towards where Obito was pointing to.

What he saw made him gasp. There, unconscious on the ground, was a young girl, about fifteen years old, who could pass for his sister or, if he was older, probably daughter. She was wearing a teal coloured kimono-like, short sleeved; shirt with a sky blue coloured collar, a ninja fishnet shirt could be seen underneath that covered her neck as well as her arms, to her elbow, her bottoms consisted of a viridian green pleated skort (a pair of women's shorts with a flap of fabric in front to make it look like a skirt) that had a magenta coloured line going through the hem, that reached up to her knees and was wearing the standard shinobi shoes.

What caught his attention were her features (not in a perverted way). Her golden hair, hanging down loosely, kept him thinking of how much it was like his own, her tanned skin reminded him of one person – Kushina-chan – and, he was pretty sure her eyes would be an azure colour. He did, however, wondered what the whisker marks on her cheeks were from. They were too refined to be scars, and it's not like anyone would want to wear make up in such a way… The other thing that caught his attention was what she was wearing on her forehead – the Leaf Headband.

Who is this girl? Was the only thought that ran through Minato Namikaze's mind. Shaking himself out of his stupor, he extended a hand over to the girl's shoulder, shaking it slightly. "Miss, excuse me, Miss, are you alright?" He asked, his voice finally coming back to him. The girl stirred awake, taking in her surroundings.

He heard her gasp as she looked at him, several emotions flashed through her eyes; fear, surprise, confusion, anger, sadness and then happiness, in that order. Minato Namikaze, never, in all his life (so far, anyways, until now), had seen such… Eyes that could be called his own. And, like he had guessed, indeed, this did have the same azure eyes… Now, his brain was on melt down. He opened his mouth to say something but when he had finally had his voice back, the girl had already fallen back to unconsciousness. Snapping out of his stupor, he turned to his once Genin, and now Chuunin, team.

"Rin, could you do a medical check on this girl?" He asked, though it sounded a bit like a plea of sorts.

The girl simply nodded, approaching the strange, in a good way, fifteen gender bender look-alike of her sensei. Using one of the medical Jutsus she knew, she did a medical check up. Looking at her sensei when she finished, she said, "Nothing looks wrong, but it seems she's suffering from mild chakra exhaustion and by the look of her wrists, has some chakra burns that aren't that serious." Minato nodded, looking back at the girl.

He sighed. This… girl… could be the family, or maybe the last of the family, he never had… He had to find out more about this girl. Protocols? HA! Screw them!

Minato picked up the girl, bridal style, before looking back at his team. "Alright, Kakashi, Obito, Rin, let's head out!" With that, the five headed back to the village.

… Why do I feel... protective of this girl?
