Chapter 1: From Time
Uzumaki Naruto woke up with a start, sweat pouring down his face as he bolts up from his dream and sits upright in his bed. He clutches his head as with his hand as memories began pouring into his head.
By the time Naruto lift up his head with his head now clear and he was able to think straight, he realize the sun was rising. Naruto gets up and looks through his clothes. Nothing but orange jumpsuits. Naruto gives a sigh as he realize he may be stuck in his twelve year old body, but his mind was that of a seventeen year olds. It didn't help that he gains the personalities of the Nidaime Hokage, Sandaime Hokage, and the Shodaime Hokage as well as their chakra types.
Naruto puts on a undershirt and black pants before leaping out and attempting to find a local shop before meeting with his team.
Finding a shop was easy, it was getting to let them sell to him was the trick. Knowing Sasuke was well like and practically worship by the villagers for being a survivor from the Uchiha Clan Massacre, Naruto preforms a henge no jutsu and look exactly like Sasuke.
"Oh, Sasuke-sama, this is a rare." The shopkeeper said in joy.
Naruto looks around to find a shinobi kimono outfit he likes
"How much is that?" Naruto asks in Sasuke voice.
"For you Sasuke-sama, 500 Ryō."
"Charge it to my account. I'll take that and three Tantō's." Naruto said. The owner was more than happy to comply as he gives Naruto the equipment. Naruto turns and walks away with his new equipment.
Naruto went to his compartment and change into his new gear. With the henge no longer needed Naruto examine himself in the mirror before he look at the clock. Knowing Kakashi was going to show up soon Naruto leaps on the balcony and rushes towards the training grounds.
Training Ground 47
Naruto arrived in the tree tops eyeing his two teammates. Naruto stood there realizing he could sense and see chakra. Sensing Kakashi's chakra nearby Naruto waited until the mission was going to begin.
"Naruto, you're late." Sakura shouted at the top of her voice.
"If Kakashi-sensei isn't here, then I am not late." Naruto said.
Sakura blinks and looks at her teammate. It took her a second to realize this Naruto was different. He was wearing a black and blue kimono with shinobi gauntlets. He also look more serious and to her horror, cool.
Sasuke looks at Naruto and wonders what the change was about.
"Oh dobe, what's with the change?"Sasuke half ask half demanded.
"Well teme, I decided I need to act like a shinobi for once." Naruto said in a calm tone. However there was a clear message that said don't ask.
"Don't address Sasuke-kun like that Naruto-no-baka." Sakura shrieks. Naruto rubs his ears as if he was in pain.
"Sensei is never on time, I thought you would have learned that by now." Naruto said as Kakashi made his usual appearance.
"Yo, sorry I'm late, but you see I found a fish in a lake that needed mouth to mouth." Kakashi said with his eye smile.
"Liar." Sakura shouted. Kakashi eye if possible smiled even brighter.
"I got our new mission." Kakashi said as he handed them a piece a paper.
"Capture the lost pet Tora?" Sakura says as she reads the paper.
"You mean this cat?" Naruto asks holding up Tora.
Kakashi opens his eyes in shock. Clearly was surprised to see that the cat was already caught.
"When are we actually going to do shinobi missions Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asks as they walk towards the Hokage Tower to turn in their mission.
"That's up for Hokage-sama to decide if we are ready for an better mission." Kakashi said lazily as he begins to read Flirting Paradise.
Naruto said nothing, knowing Kakashi was watching him with his one good 'eye'. Naruto knew that his teammates and sensei were curious as to the sudden change in his choice of clothes and his behavior.
"Oh my dear Tora-chan, I was so worried about you." Madam Shijimi said as she hugs her run away cat.
"Now then, Kakashi's team seven next mission is… babysitting Yojyu-sama children, grocery shopping at a neighboring town. Helping digging up potatoes at…"
"Forget old man, we're not doing any of those." Naruto shouted as he waved his hands into an x. Sakura and Sasuke both look like they agreed with Naruto while Kakashi look like he wasn't surprise by Naruto shouting at the Sandaime Hokage.
"Baka! You're all still a novice ninja. You need more experience so we're going easy on you until we feel if you are ready." Iruka said as he stood up to lecture Naruto again.
"How are these helping us gain experience? We're shinobi's not care takers." Naruto argued.
"Cut it out." Kakashi said as he attempted to hit Naruto on the head only for Naruto to perform a quick Kawarimi to replacement himself with a dummy.
"Naruto, it looks like I have to explain what missions are."
"I already know, missions are task given to us by clients who wish us to accomplish a certain goal. Depending on the difficulty of the task they are rank, D, C, B and A. However, I am a shinobi not a kid who pulls pranks. Couldn't you just give us a simple escort mission, Sandaime-sama?" Naruto asks as he appeared behind Kakashi.
The Sandaime blinks in surprise but gave a smile.
"Very well, I understand. It is true experience is the most important thing to sharpen your skills. Therefore, I will allow you to go on a C-Rank mission."
"Hokage-sama!" Iruka said in shock. Even Kakashi was a bit shock.
"I think it will do them some good if they got outside experience on a mission. Bring him in." The Sandaime Hokage orders to the pair of Chūnin open the door and disappeared in the darkness. They came back with a old man and Naruto was happy to see it was Tazuna.
"What, these are the shinobi's that are going to protect me? They're just kids." He says as he drinks from his bottom. He whips his mouth before addressing Team seven.
"I am the bridge building expert Tazuna. I hired you Konoha shinobi's to protect my life until I can complete my bridge."
"Why did you leave if you're in the middle of building your bridge?" Naruto asks as he folds his hands behind his head.
"We've been attack by bandits. So we are in need of some protection." Tazuna said as he takes another sip of sake.
"Okay, everyone pack for your trip, we are leaving in one hour." Kakashi said as the team went to their respectable homes to pack.
An hour later, everyone was at the main gate.
"Hey, Tazuna-san." Sakura said after a short while in their journey.
"What is it?"
"You're from the Country of Wave right?"
"What about it?"
"Kakashi-sensei, are there also shinobi in that country?" Sakura asks.
"No, there are not." Kakashi said.
"Wave Country is a small country, mostly made up of islands. It used to have a shinobi base that was run by shinobi's from the Eddy Village before their destruction in the Third Great War. The Country of Wave heavily relies on import trading for its economy." Naruto said as he walks forward.
"How do you know that?" Tazuna asks in amazement. Sasuke and Sakura were also looking at Naruto impress by him speaking so intelligent like.
"I did some research before we left." Naruto said in an undertone voice.
"You did research, since when do you do that?" Sakura asks.
"The there is a slim chance we'll run into shinobi's. A country like Wave relies on outside help to police their borders. There are many customs and cultures around the world, but there are other hidden villages. Right now there are nine hidden villages. Five are called the Great Lands, mostly because of their massive size and wealth. The great lands are all named by the five basic elements and each one of them has a hidden village. Konohagakure resides in the Land of Fire. Our allies, Sunagakure resides in the Land of Wind. Kirigakure resides in the Land of Water. Kumogakure resides in the Land of Lightning. Iwagakure resides in the Land of Earth. Each of these villages holds a Shinobi with the title Kage. Sunagakure currently is host to the Yondaime Kazekage. Iwagakure has the oldest living Kage, the Sandaime Tsuchikage Ōnoki the master of Jinton Style. Kirigakure currently has a Godaime Mizukage. Kumogakure has a Yondaime Raikage and our village is run by the shinobi who is reknown as the Professor. The shinobi who's the master of the five elements; the Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen."
Everyone was stun to hear this piece of information.
They pass a piece of puddle with Naruto sensing two shinobi's with similar chakras hiding inside.
Just as they pass them the shinobi's attack.
"First one." They shouted. As they cut down Kakashi.
"Second one." They cried as the moved towards Naruto. Naruto reacted immediately. Grabbing their gauntlets before giving them both an uppercut.
"What?" They cried out as they tried to wrap their chains around Naruto only for Naruto to dodge the attack immediately. Sasuke then steps in an fires a shiruken at the chain; following up with a kunai piercing the shiruken that was holding the chain into the tree. Naruto moved to his left while Sasuke followed up with the guy on the right. Before Naruto could land a punch, both exiled shinobi's removed the chain and ran towards Tazuna.
Sakura rushes in front of Tazuna with a kunai in her hands.
"Stay back Mister."
Before anyone could blink the exiled brothers were caught between Kakahsi's arms.
"Kakashi-sensei, you're alive." Sakura practically screamed in joy.
"He used a Kawarimi no Jutsu at the last second to fool them." Naruto said as he brought out some rope.
"By the way Tazuna-san. I need to have a talk with you." Kakahsi said.
Kakashi tied the kiri-shinobi's up.
"How were you able to detect our movements?"
"Today is a sunny day and it hasn't rain in weeks. A puddle shouldn't existed."
"These guys are formers Chūnin's from Kirigakure. They are known to keep fighting no matter what the cost."
"Why did you let the kids fight when you knew that?" Tazuna asks.
"If I was serious I can kill these two without blinking. However, I need to know if it was just a coincidence that we came across them, or if they were waiting for us specially." Kakashi said.
"They were mostly likely sent by Gatō?" Naruto asks the tied up shinobi's.
"How did you know?" They ask.
"Gatō?" Sakura asks.
"Gatō from Gatō Company? He's one of the richest men in the world." Kakashi said.
"Last year he came to the Country of Waves in an attempt to take over. Am I wrong, Tazuna-san."
"No, it's true. Gatō is a man who uses wealth and mercenaries to do his dirty work. When he came, he had shinobi's and thugs at his side and quickly took over the islands. There was little choice but to obey him. However, some of us are attempting to seize our homeland from Gatō. That's why we are building the bride. However hope is dying out and Gatō wants me dead. He doesn't want that bridge built and is attempting to stop me."
"This should be a B-Rank mission."
"We hardly had enough for a C-Rank. Not even our Daiymo has money. Gatō has seize everything." Everyone fell silent as they were unsure how to address the issue.
"Let's go," Naruto said.
"Naruto."
"Konoha shinobi's don't back down from their mission. We are known for doing the right thing and it would be wrong to leave Tazuna-san." Naruto said. Sasuke gave a smile as did Kakashi. Sakura looked amazed as did Tazuna. "We got a country to save." Naruto said as he walks towards Wave Country.
"This time will be different, Haku… Zabuza."
