One of the many stories I plan on updating since I can't seem to focus on the Monkey Fox for the time I have the story in my mind but I don't know exactly how to make it happen so I decided to take a break, write three new stories.

I do not own Naruto because if I did I wouldn't milk it for all it's worth

It was a difficult choice Hiruzen made as his first act upon returning to his post as the Third Hokage but not one he would change as he looked at the young man in front of him. The blonde hair and blue eyes reminded Hiruzen so much of Minato he had to constantly remind himself that the man was not Minato but he was very close.

The room in question was completely isolated from the rest of the world, no one but the ANBU, the Hokage, and the Yamanaka performing the task would ever know the truth as the blonde teen sat in a chair with seals drawn all over him.

"Are you sure you wish to do this Naruto from what I understand your timeline will forever alter if do this." The Professor knew everything about the future now thanks to Naruto but if the plan succeeds Naruto won't anymore as Inoichi Yamanaka placed his hand on the back of Naruto's head.

Naruto looked at the man he saw as a Grandfather and the Father of one of his best friends and nodded.

"I've changed the future with my appearance I'm only sixteen but still that boy needs me and I can't raise him as though he were me. Erase my memories and replace me with the fabricated ones with any luck no one will poke the sleeping bear and I can train the younger me based on my own experiences." Naruto said as Hiruzen sighed and nodded after all he and Inoichi read the boy's mind and saw the future. It was clear that the future had changed just by Naruto interfering in the battle against the Kyubi and actually calming it down enough to be sealed. As a result people such as Kurenai's Father survived the battle and thus Shikaku did not need to become the Jounin Commander.

Too much of the timeline had changed it could quite possibly be that Obito isn't pretending to be Madara anymore or that Madara is even planning on continuing his Eye of the Moon Plan. So Naruto had decided to forget everything and to replace the memories of his old life in order to build a new one but he chose to remember what it was like not to have a family, to not feel love until he was a teenager and for that Inoichi Yamanaka was summoned.

Inoichi began the process of removing Naruto Uzumaki's memories and replacing them instead with Arashi Namikaze the long lost baby brother of Minato Namikaze. Naturally the result of literally stripping away one's memories and replacing them with another was not at all painless as Naruto began thrashing about and screaming in pain. The screams were contained within the room as the memory of how Naruto arrived here was gone as well as the memories of his old life, everything but his training and skills were removed in favor of new ones.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had to salute the young shinobi to sacrifice his own memories in order to protect the future is a sacrifice not even he would do willingly.

The loss of friends was still there just replaced with another face as those memories were too close to his heart that if he forgets them he will feel no pain and a shinobi needs the pain to survive. Luckily Naruto had become ANBU during the year of the war after he failed to kill Madara and that was retained as Naruto needed to remember how to kill properly. Finally he needed to remember his love for without love there is nothing but the mission as the face of Hinata was replaced with another Hyuga of similar quality and personality.

Near the end Naruto stopped screaming as the memories of being trained by Jiraiya was retained in order to give him a boost along with his training by the Four Hokages just instead it was Minato and Hiruzen that trained him while the First and Second were replaced. His training under Mifune was retained as well as his body is use to the techniques and the Samurai does not venture outside of his lands without reason. Finally his family was inserted, remembering how he first met Minato, the joy he felt at meeting his sister-in-law and the joy of being an Uncle.

Naruto's memories of the war needed to remain but he needed more positive emotions or else he would surely lose control if all of his family is dead save for a baby Naruto.

When it was all done gone was the Naruto of old as the medics arrived to check him over before transporting him to the hospital to recover. As far as the rest of the village is concerned Arashi Namikaze had his memory removed of the identity of a boy named Sora who contained the Nine Tails remnants, which is true. The only difference is Sarutobi sent an ANBU Team to kill the boy's Father immediately after and Jiraiya to seal the chakra better in addition to back up. So as a result no one questioned why Arashi was in the hospital while the Naruto of this timeline is protected due to being the son of the Fourth.

Unlike in Naruto's original timeline this one will have actual people protecting him, Arashi is already easily an A-Class shinobi but once Hiruzen gets him started in training the young teenager will be one of the youngest to earn the title S-Class.

It took three days before Hiruzen was sure that the memories were replaced properly as Arashi had recovered from the ordeal. The Fire Daimyo had already approved of Hiruzen's return to the hat, which sadly meant more paperwork though today it seemed like there was barely any as the Third waited for Arashi to arrive.

As far as the rest of the world knew Arashi was ANBU, his tattoo thankfully was the same despite the different in time as the young man arrived in Jonin uniform. It was the fact that he was in ANBU that allowed all four Hokage to enter combat without risking the possibility of the village being under threat. Arashi's was Minato's for instance and his skills were labeled A-Class to not risk the Hokage's life.

"I don't seem to recall this uniform being so tight." Arashi commented when he first entered, one hand tugging on the collar of his uniform, the other holding baby Naruto.

Hiruzen couldn't help but notice how similar Arashi was to Minato, the clothes were different yes as Arashi prefers a black uniform and dark green vest with a black katana resting on his back while Minato preferred the traditional form. Arashi's headband was the same as when he first arrived, long black fabric tied on his forehead with the Uzumaki symbol on his uniform colored orange instead of the traditional red.

"You get use to the feel Arashi." It wasn't too hard for Hiruzen to call Naruto Arashi after all that was the name Minato used only with a face mask to hide his face which Naruto had removed, no doubt because of his history with Kakashi.

"Maybe so what is it you want to talk to me about old man?" Arashi asked as he began rocking Naruto back and forth when he started to feel agitated.

Hiruzen smirked to hide the sadness he felt at how Arashi forgot how he knew how care for a baby but he ignored it for now in favor of making sure his sacrifice wasn't in vain.

"I would like to take you on as an Apprentice and bring you up to S-Class Level in a month." Hiruzen smirked as he already knew that Naruto was S-Class with his Kyubi Cloak and Sage Mode but both his Toad Contract and Kyubi Chakra was gone now leaving Arashi as himself.

"Well that paperwork on your desk says other wise old man." The blonde shinobi pointed to the papers suddenly on his desk as he looked at it shocked.

'How the hell does she keep on doing that I'm sure there is no way a single piece of paper would get past me.' Hiruzen looked at the stacks of paper as high as his forehead and slowly began to feel the need to rip out his hair again, right after it finally all grew back.

Both Arashi and a now awoken Naruto laughed at the Professor's plight as in his mind a chibi version of Hiruzen began crying tears of sorrow.

Once Arashi calmed down enough he finally started talking again "Don't worry if you use the shortcut my brother used I'm sure it'll be fine."

The word shortcut made the Monkey's ears perked as he moved with God-Like speed to grab Arashi by the shoulders and looked at the shinobi straight in the eyes as the young man gulped.

"What shortcut?" Was all he said as Arashi tilted his head sideways in confusion before Hirzuen began to shake him senseless until Arashi asked "You know the Shadow Clones and the reason why they're forbidden right?"

Hiruzen stopped his interrogation and nodded his head furiously hoping to get the answer as soon as possible as Arashi looked ready to mess with the aged shinobi.

"Yes I'm quite aware that the knowledge a clone receives is transferred to the original body's memories once the clone runs out of chakra what of it?" The Professor began to feel the need to crush the boy's shoulders for making him wait so long for the answer to destroy the bane of his office term before Arashi answered.

"Well couldn't it be used to do paperwork as well? I mean all knowledge is passed on to you and they're clones of you aren't they make three of those and you'll be finished by the end of the hour." Arashi suddenly felt Hiruzen's hands lax as he looked in shock as he remembered Minato's smug face when Hiruzen came to visit once before to find no paperwork on the dreaded desk.

Hiruzen looked ready to kill someone as he went to his desk and pulled out three things one a bottle of sake, two a cup, and three a scroll.

Pouring the cup he unsealed contents of the scroll to reveal it was a giant sign that appeared to be very sturdy and said the words "When discovering something incredibly obvious slam face here."

Hiruzen naturally took a gulp out of the sake cup before slamming his head directly into the sign that had been created strong by the First Hokage. The resulting blow broke the sign surprisingly as up in heaven the two previous Hokages matched their student step by step only a hundred times more.

"Hashirama why didn't you ever think about that?" Tobirama asked as his normally pale skin became red as a lobster.

"I created the clones to spy on girls while working on paperwork I didn't think I could use it to do the actual work." Hashirama countered until he felt a sudden change in atmosphere as he turned and screamed like a little girl.

For standing behind him was Mito Uzumaki, his wife, who had just heard everything he said as she looked ready to kill or worse kill him hundreds of times.

"Hashirama you're going to die a hundred times over." She said in anger as her bun hair unraveled and took the form of the nine tails fox before several chakra chains sprouted out of her body.

Hashirama of course had already made a run for it before Mito made the threat but it wasn't enough as throughout heaven one could hear the screams of the First Hokage. Many males shook their heads in sympathy for the man while many women decided to give chase to the man as well.

Elsewhere sitting on a rock in hell was Madara Uchiha who heard his former friend's cries of pain as he no doubt knew why and said "Bitches be crazy that's why I have the Sharingan I remember every naked girl I ever saw." Madara smirked until he heard his own wife land on the lava core of hell with an equally angry look.

"What did you say MADARA!" His wife spoke before catching him in an Infinite Tsuykiyomi where he was castrated and had his balls removed or beaten in hundreds of different ways for the next twenty four hours.

Meanwhile back in the living world Hiruzen had recovered enough sanity to created five clones and set them to work on the paperwork that caused him to retire at the age of fifty rather than sixty like most shinobi would have.

Once they were set Hiruzen looked to Arashi with a smile and said "Why don't you leave Naruto in the capable hands of my secretary and the ANBU I'm sure that he will be more than safe."

Hiruzen immediately summoned Dog to watch over Naruto as he happily accepted by taking Naruto from Arashi's arm. Of course before then Arashi whispered "You read him Make Out Paradise I'll make what Tsunade did to Jiraiya a toothache compared to what will happen to you."

Immediately Dog, or better known as Kakashi, nodded as the blonde Jonin smiled as the two shinobi used the Shunshin Technique to arrive at the Hokage's personal training ground as Kakashi comforted a crying Naruto.

"I know Naruto your family just does not understand good literature." Kakashi whispered as the rest of his team slapped their foreheads in shame over the prodigy's remark.

Hiruzen and Arashi arrived at the training grounds quickly as the God of Shinobi pulled off his robes to reveal his shinobi battle armor as Arashi began to stretch.

The training grounds were secluded as one might expect as this is the Hokage's personal training grounds meant to keep the village leader's skills up to par and to allow him to train without anyone being able to see it. Simply put last person caught spying on the First ended up being consumed by his Living Forest of Death Jutsu and dying, not a pretty sight. For now however the Third intends to teach Arashi well enough to bring him up to S-Class or even SS-Class if all goes well simply because the boy has the potential.

"Tell me Arashi how do you counter a Fire Jutsu?" Hiruzen asked knowing that he did not have time during his reincarnated state to teach the future Naruto his most powerful technique.

"Well there is multiple ways using all the elements water to extinguish the flames, use a higher amount of wind to blow out the fire, create an earth wall to protect yourself or shoot lightning into it to destabilize the justu." Arashi explained as he began to pop his shoulders.

Hiruzen nodded his head at how the boy wasn't a one trick pony but still "Yes but the best way is to counter fire with fire."

That statement both interested and confused Arashi as he looked at the Hokage like he was senile already despite not having gray hair or being that old really.

"You overwhelm the previous jutsu or match it blow by blow it can not advance nor can it escape the key Arashi is making sure the jutsu does not use up too much chakra." Hiruzen explained before telling him the reason for this "Learning the basics of all the affinities was what allowed me to master all of jutsus in Konoha now tell me what is the difference between knowing a jutsu and mastering it?"

"Knowing a jutsu is just knowing how to use it's basic form mastering is being able to use it to it's fullest potential. It's being able to perform a hundred hand signs in under five or turning a simple D-Ranked distraction jutsu into a full out A-Class jutsu."

The Professor nodded as Jiraiya himself was well known for taking a simple technique and turning it into pure destruction through seals, collaborations or just plain skills and it appears the boy showed he took after his master quite well.

"Very good create a hundred shadow clones twenty per element and I will create five clones to explain and monitor while you and I spar. Your Taijutsu is random and unpredictable but could still use some polish and I want to get your bojutsu to my level." Hiruzen was happy his reanimated self taught Naruto the basics of bo staff fighting and Monkey Style but in truth Arashi was better suited for Hashirama's in that it prefers strength and direct attacks while also designed for counters rather than blocks.

However Arashi's style is a combination he spent years perfecting to the point where he could go toe to toe against the best hand to hand combatants such as Gai and it makes his fighting style random enough for the Sharingan to be useless.

For now however Arashi needs to get his fighting up to par an S-Class is a rare sight and in this village an S-Class shinobi would bring better security. Hiruzen knew this as he decided to incorporate the Monkey Style better with the Wood Cutter Style Hashirama created in order to create a stronger fighting style.

Of course Arashi is one for learning by doing as Hiruzen made sure to teach him the hard way, a manner he missed since his days of teaching the Sannin as he fought with the man from the future for a good hour before eventually the Hokage's experience triumphed youth. Even still the boy held on quite well given his youth but then again war changes a man as Hiruzen noted Arashi didn't hold back and he was still having flashbacks of the war, even if it's not exactly how it went when he was Naruto it is still PTSD.

"Arashi perhaps we should take a break you have done quite well as it is and it is time for your clones to dispell slowly." Hiruzen stressed the last part as when the future Naruto arrived the first time he didn't know his chakra wasn't as high as it use to be and ended up receiving a far worse back lash along with chakra exhaustion. Luckily at the time he was already low as if it were his normal chakra levels Arashi would be half empty and not be able to keep up with someone of Hiruzen's caliber at least not for this long.

As one who had known Hiruzen for the bulk of his past life and being one of his students present and future Arashi knew not to disagree with the Third as he slowly popped the clones and learned the basics.

Arashi had already learned wind manipulation by cutting a waterfall in half as well as fire manipulation by burning a rock from the inside but his main focus now is conducting electricity to a solid as well as using it to charge his body. Water was more difficult as it evolved him manipulating water high enough to turn into a giant and powerful wave while earth involves crushing a boulder compact enough that not even air can get through. Those parts were more difficult as the Raikage taught the future Naruto how to create his lightning armor well enough to make him move faster while the Second Hokage focused on Genjutsu and Kenjutsu and the First focused on Taijutsu and Senjutsu. All of the others were either dead or too busy to train Naruto but regardless the training received was more than enough as a final gift Hashirama gave him the basics of medical jutsu and how to heal himself without needing hand signs or the Fox.

Those skills were retained luckily as Arashi's battle against the Third continued this time with their respected weapons- Hiruzen with Enma in staff form and Arashi with his Executor Blade. As Hiruzen continued his battle he took notice of how the blade had yet to crack under the constant strain of Enma's diamond tough skin and it interested him simply because it wasn't a legendary weapon. Whoever forged the blade for Arashi must be a master swordsmith, one of the best as the metal the blade was forged out of did not crack under the force of the blow whereas normal blades would have been destroyed. The intricate seals were forged directly into the blade disguising itself as a dragon to deceive his opponents into believing it was just decoration. In truth they were chakra seals meant to store chakra and also additional seals made to prevent the blade from needing to be constantly maintained, jus cleaned. However it was still sharp, easily able to cut a man's head off with one swing if needed as Arashi proved just by making Enma shake.

Even still Hiruzen could spot the Hurricane Sword Style anywhere due to the speed and ferocity involved in the style with wind manipulation mixed in. It was the fighting style of the Second Hokage but it was also clear that Arashi incorporated various other styles into it as well such as Kumo's acrobatic fighting style or even the samurai's kendo for power assists. Combined Arashi is more than a match for any of the Seven Swordsmen and could even match Orochimaru's sword skills to the point where Orochimaru would have to use his tricks in order to defeat Arashi.

The spar itself only lasted thirty minutes but it was clear that Arashi is a master in kenjutsu as Hiruzen summoned two staves he normally kept in a scroll and threw one to Arashi.

It was evident from the memories that Arashi was one for learning by seeing as he memorized all of the Monkey Style Staff techniques during the spar and memorized all of the defensive patterns after seeing it once or twice. This continued for at least an hour before Arashi finished learning or relearning the basics of Bojutsu and so Hiruzen decided to end the day with a specialty- ninjutsu training.

Arashi for all of his skills and being able to hold out against Hiruzen was still lacking in ninjutsu as the bulk of his jutsus revolved around Shadow Clones, the Rasengan, wind jutsu or their fire counterparts. That meant he learned jutsus for the sole purpose of collaboration jutsus and while that is an excellent idea it does mean a lot of techniques are rather powerful.

So instead Hiruzen taught him the basics, chakra pulse for one which is a tracking jutsu that allows the user to sense objects around them making hiding rather difficult if done and used properly. The jutsu however does have it's own combat application such as in a smoke screen or an area of low visibility to complete darkness as well as detect assassins and spies if needed.

Since most of the time future Naruto had been fighting enemies who did not hide or depending on the Kyubi he neglected to learn any detecting abilities outside of what he already knows.

Of course another reason is the baby Naruto in that for one this Naruto is a baby and babies are all ninjas in training by hiding or disappearing resulting in the parents worrying sick. Hiruzen knew this for a fact having suffered from two children that in the end also became shinobi in their own right but still the chakra pulse is an excellent technique to teach as Arashi easily mastered such a simple technique to the point where he could sense the ANBU in the outer perimeter.

"Well done my boy now I believe this concludes our training for today tomorrow we will continue where we left off and when you gained enough mastery over elemental manipulation you will begin learning additional ninjutsu but for now we will focus on other subjects." Hiruzen spoke like he was teaching a lecture but the words had the same effect as Arashi nodded in understanding before an ANBU appeared to hand the Hokage Robes to the Third as he donned the hat once more.

"Now then for the next month or so we will continue this then you'll be fit enough to take on S-Class missions." In truth Arashi was ready in two weeks but baby Naruto needed protection that sadly won't be prepared for another month.

Jiraiya simply could not be trusted with a baby especially after he had decided to leave right after the funeral of Minato. Mikoto was forbidden from seeing the son of her best friend and therefore preventing Naruto to be raised by his Godmother, something Arashi wanted to kill Fugaku for and the village would exploit and spoil Naruto. This is not because he is the Fourth's son but because he is the heir to two powerful and extremely rich family.

The two powerful shinobi returned to the Tower to find young baby Naruto was surprisingly calm for a newborn of course upon seeing the state of the secretary and Dog, one could see that it was a lot of work.

Half the waiting room was covered with baby food the rest was just messy as the Dog mask had turned from white to a disgusting vomit color as Arashi had to laugh at his nephew's actions.

"Don't worry Dog if Naruto is fast asleep you did a good job which means he won't be making much trouble again." Arashi explained upon seeing Kakashi without his ANBU mask on simply because the smell was just terrible. Of course Arashi was lying about Naruto being calm in truth the little baby just had to get use to the Cyclops and those around him or else the barfing will be a defensive mechanism that or farting.

"That maybe but I can't believe how much food he could throw I swear ANBU Training would be more difficult with him throwing food at us." Kakashi was completely serious but in truth he was curious about Arashi.

He had seen the man around several times over the years but before then nothing Minato-sensei never spoke of his brother as much saying his brother was in ANBU assigned to the Assault Teams. However when he brought up the file on Arashi the other day the bulk of it was heavily redacted to the point where his instructors were the only thing that had been left. Of course the names concerned him- Jiraiya of the Sannin and Hiruzen Sarutobi, just one of them could easily have made Arashi into an S-Class but both that was dangerous since it would mean a wide variety of different combat training. Not only that but Kakashi took note of the man's stealth skills, he could sneak up on the Hokage and kill him without even being noticed.

"Hello Earth to Kakashi you awake there?" Kakashi was immediately brought out of his thoughts by Arashi waving his hand in front of his face concerned.

"Oh sorry you say something." Kakashi joked as Arashi had a twitch in his eyes before scratching the back of his head like Minato would when he got annoyed. "I swear now I see why Gai is so annoyed when you ignore him. At any rate you should know that in a month I'll be returning to active service so if you want to take care of Naruto you could he's really not that bad unless you give him something with sugar in it or else."

Kakashi nodded since he did enjoy spending time with his sensei's son and Arashi reminds him very much of Kushina and Minato-Sensei.

"I would be honored Namikaze-San." Kakashi spoke relaxed for the first time since his sensei had passed and extended his hand to give the man a handshake.

Arashi gave Kakashi a wide smile that reminded the Copy Ninja so much of his sensei's that he stopped thinking.

"Until next time Kakashi." Arashi disappeared in order to retrieve Naruto to no doubt head home after an exhausting lesson with the most effective Hokage.

END

Alright I like this chapter already but could use a beta still don't worry about Monkey Fox I'm working on it just give me a few weeks busy with school and working on other projects.

If anyone has any questions I will give them an answer as soon as I can but make no mistake as time moves on I will start calling future Naruto Arashi out of habit more than anything and to show that future Naruto has integrated himself into the timeline properly. Now I need to know do you think I should give Arashi a new summoning contract or have Jiraiya return to give him the Toad Contract because if Arashi gets a new one I have some fun ideas. Also want to give Arashi the title of Storm King and give him some additional weapons like bow and arrow since it's so rare and maybe have Arashi wear a black coat and give him the title of Black Swordsman instead. I don't know yet but until I do I will work on the other stories so my followers can bow before my greatness mwahahaha.

Here's a vote on summoning creatures:

Toads

Falcons

Lions

Tigers

Mantis

Fox

Wolf

Monkey

Others
