Chapter 1
The sun rose slowly over the village as the inhabitants began to rise. Birds began chirping as alarms began ringing, waking people from their deep slumber, some tapping the snooze button for five more minutes of peace. However, none of them were aware of a sudden surge of power. The Ninja, however, noticed the sudden spike, but dismissed it as it vanished as quickly as it had appeared. But it wasn't just a random chakra spike, and the Hokage, the man who had earned the title of "The Professor", knew that it was a warning that a very powerful jutsu had just been unleashed. An uneasiness in his gut told him that this was going to have a very powerful impact on his village. He had no idea just how large it would impact the future. He had no way to know just how much it would be changed.

In a clearing, not far from the main gates of the village, four beings rose to their feet, the ground around them blackened and slightly smoking. The four began to stretch out their arms and other muscles as the sun continued to rise overhead. A few breif moment of silence passed as three of them looked to the blonde with saddened expressions. The first to speak was a young girl with short, raven colored hair.
"Are you sure about this?" She asked him softly.
"Yeah. We go through with this...everything we ever fought for...everything we ever cared for...will have been for nothing." The pink haired girl challenged.
She still was not sold on the plan.
"It has to be done. You've all seen what it becomes. A decaying husk of what it once was. It is deseased and infected." The blonde told them, popping his shoulder back into place. "We all saw how the village treated it's heros. We all saw the results of Danzo's trecheary."
A slight shiver came from the pink haired girl caught his attention.
"How they treated your sensei." The blonde said softly.
The three looked to him, gaining faith in the plan as he slapped the dirt off his pants. He looked around and sighed.
"Alright. With the help of Kyu, I got us back two weeks from the finals at the academy. So, we are now twelve years old again. Congratulations on your second passage through puberty." He said cheerily.
The others groaned at him, all remembering how horrible the first time through was. His smile vanished into that of a vetern commander as he eyed them all.
"Alright. The plan is for us to get Kakashi, Sandaime, Tsunade, and Jiraiya in on the plan. Secondary Targets are Team 8 and 10 along with Asuma and Kurenai. Tertiary objective is to get Teuchi and his daughter along with Princess Yuki, Iruka, and Suna on our side as well."
The others sat silently for a moment before the dark haired boy smirked at him.
"But dobe, isn't Suna planning on helping hebi wipe the village off the face of the planet?" He asked him.
Naruto Uzumaki smirked at his oldest friend Sasuke Uchiha, as Hinata Hyuuga and Sakura Haruno giggled at the exchanged between friends.
"Teme, I'm hurt. You know I love fucking with people's plans. Besides. The destruction of Konoha...is our mission." He finished, smile vanishing once more.

The three sat in the clearing as the sun took it's place high overhead, signaling noon. Naruto looked at the others and sighed.
"We are really on a lopsided mission." He muttered.
"How do you figure?" Sakura asked him.
"Simple. You, me, and Sasuke will end up on Team 7 and Hinata is going to end up on Team 8 all alone." He told her.
"Oh yeah. I guess I got so used to her on the team with us...well..." She looked to the Hyuuga apologetically.
"It's okay Sakura. I'm sure we'll figure something out." She said softly.
She wasn't keen to be on a team away from them, but they had no alternative. Or so they thought. Naruto was about to say something comforting to Hinata when Sakura shot up, a triumphant grin on her face.
"I got it all figured out. Come on! We've got some work to do." She told them, hurrying to the village.
Hinata looked at Naruto who shrugged his shoulders and the three headed off after her.

Naruto stood patiently by the door as he watched Sakura tear through her schoolbag, hunting for some unknown item. Hinata was laying on Sakura's bed, staring at the ceiling in sheer bordem and Sasuke was sitting in the window as they waited for Sakura to find the unknown she was looking for. They jumped about a foot at her sudden scream of triumph.
"AH HA! Found it!" She yelled, pulling out a pink note book and sitting down on the floor, flipping through pages quickly.
Naruto raised an eyebrow as he and Hinata sat in front of Sakura as she began to slow, apperantly getting close to the page she was looking for.
"Here." She said, stopping her frantic turning. "Tomorrow is the intial placement exams. They determine the peliminary team placements."
Naruto was about to interrupt her when her hand came up.
"Wait. I'm getting to it." She told him. "Naruto, if your score good enough...say a 210, you'll out score Kiba by three points and he'll replace you as dead last."
Naruto nodded his head in understanding.
"Okay. What about Shikamaru? Weren't his scores as bad as mine?"
Sakura nodded.
"Very true. But he just didn't apply himself in class. During the Intial placement and final placement exams, he did well enough to lock him in place over you and Kiba with Ino and Choji." She explained to him.
"Oh."
"Don't worry Naruto. With what you know now, you could easily topple Sasuke as number one in the class." Sakura told him smiling.
Sasuke snorted in amusement at that. It would be worth it to see everyone's faces when he was toppled by the dead last.
"But that would arose a whole lot of suspition on him." Hinata pointed out.
Naruto nodded.
"Hinata has a point. I'll just make sure I out do Kiba." He said, only to find himself in a tight hug from Hinata.
"Oh thank kami! I won't have to deal with his passes again." She breathed a sigh of relief as she let the blonde go.
"Um...okay." He shook his head as he looked at Hinata. "This saves me from having to break his face. After all, aren't you engaged to somebody?" He asked, teasing her.
She grinned.
"Maybe...in a few years. I'm a litltle young to think about settling down now."
Naruto looked at her, mocking hurt.
"After our little trip to Spring Country? I'm hurt hime. I'm truly hurt."
Hinata giggled and playfully punched him in the arm.
"Well. you'll just have to do it again. And this time, try not to trip over the log."
Naruto looked scandalized as Hinata laughed at his embarassment while Sakura put a hand over her mouth to cover her giggles. Sasuke, being his friend and bound by the man code did not laugh. On the outside at least. Naruto gave a humph and crossed his arms, muttering darkly about unfair treatment as the girls laughed harder.

Iruka looked over the class as they settled in their seats and immidiatly knew something was wrong. For one, he couldn't find Naruto with his orange flare of a jumpsuit. Two, he didn't hear Sakura bickering with Ino over who was better for Sasuke to sit besides, who looked annoyed and pissed since he hadn't had to put up with fangirls since his first run through this time. And three, he didn't see Hinata in her usual spot, staring at Naruto. He looked around worriedly and felt a mixture of relief and shock. Sitting in the back corner were the three in question. What shocked him was what they were wearing. Sakura was wearing a black tee with the leaf symbol over it along with a dark red skirt and black sandels. A kunai holster on both legs. Hinata was wearing a fishnet undershirt with a black tank top over it, dark blue cargo pants and dark blue sandels with a kunai holster on her right hip. Naruto himself was the most different. He was wearing a black jacket wich was unzipped, exposing his black under shirt with the uzumaki symbol in orange. He had on black cargo pants and a pair of black boots with his kunai/shuriken holster on his right leg. Iruka also noticed that each looked bored. He shook his head and looked back to the rest of the class to see them all looking at the three as well in confusion. He also caught several whispers.
"Looks like the freaks decided to get together."
"Man...the Hyuuga and the Haruno look hot like that."
"Uzumaki doesn't look half bad."
Iruka cleared his throat to get their attention as he grabbed a stack of papers. He heard several groans as they slowly realized that it was a test. Iruka smirked.
"Yes. Test time." He said, stepping around his desk, and passing out answer sheets.
"This test will help determine your placement of your teams in two weeks. The scores you get today are only part of the initial placement. You'll take a final placement exam two day before your graduation." He told them as he began passing out the test. "Do your best on the test. And who knows? Someone with the lowest over all score could take the top spot." He said, grinning.
He saw several shocked looks form the girls and knew why. Sasuke was number one in this class and even the slightest hint that he could be beaten was unthinkable. Iruka sighed. This was going to be a long day.

Naruto smirked as he handed in his test. He knew he'd nail a place on Hinata's team, no problem. He was just walking back to his seat when a sharp jolt of pain in his head made him wince as he returned to his seat. No one else noticed it as he sat down. As far as anyone was concerned, it appeared that he had zoned out. But Hinata, Sakura, Sasuke knew what it was...
(Naruto's mindscape)
Naruto stood before the cage as the demon stumbled to the door.
"Oh my head. Feels like it did that time Shikaku and I had an all night binge." He muttered, dropping onto the ground of his cage, eyes closed.
Naruto shook his head.
"Hey Kyu. You okay?" The blonde asked the fox.
Over the years, he and Kyuubi had become pretty good friends once they had come upon an agreement. And that agreement was that Naruto would allow Kyuubi the use of a blood clone. In battle, it had been invaluable with Kyuubi fighting with him. Their friendship didn't take off until the par had a spar out on training ground seven. Naruto had lost, but Kyuubi had respected his strength. The two had become close over the intervining years.
"Yeah. I'll be fine. I'm assuming that we succeeded in returning to the past."
"Yep."
"And the others are still alive, including you mate?"
"Yep."
Kyuubi nodded his head and Naruto felt his mindscape alter to that of his apartment with Kyuubi taking on Naruto's form, with some minor changes. He had nine tails and his wisker marks were darker. The Fox walked to the medicine cabnet in the bathroom while Naruto plopped down on the sofa. Kyuubi returned after a few minutes with a Tylonal bottle and a glass of water. He set them down as he plopped onto the recliner and sighed.
"You guys had better pull this off. And before you ask, I won't be of any help. Kami has resinded my use of chakra."
Naruto shrugged. They had knew that was a possibility.
"So we only have our own strengths to use. This is going to be just a bit harder. What?" He asked, catching Kyu's ear to ear grin.
"I may not be able to use it, but you still have access to it."
Naruto grinned evily.
"Oh this is gonna be fun." He muttered darkly.
Kyuubi nodded and waved him off, telling him that he needed to rest from the sudden change in his chakra abilities.

Hinata, Sakura, and Sasuke weren't too happy about the recent turn of events with Naruto's furry friend. They had been counting on his help in his fox form. It would have been so much easier. But Naruto had told them that he still had acess to the chakra so it wasn't all bad. So, they started working on a plan B which would require alot more to be done on their end instead of relying on the demon. With their knowladge of the future, they knew when and where they could strike. And Naruto's brilliant mind came up with the perfect plan. They'd play the part of loyal shinobi for a while and when the perfect moment arrived, they'd strike. Naruto grinned at the sheer brilliance of the plan.
