(A/N: Greetings everyone. The story line is somewhat different from the original naruto. please read it. I hope you all enjoy it.

Please feel free to review.)

Prologue

Konoha was facing an emergency situation. Something like this has never happened in the past sixteen years ever since the attack of the mighty kyuubi which saw the fall of the then strongest shinobi of the village The Fourth hokage. The fourth sacrificed his own life on a day he was blessed with twins, two boys, for the sake of the village only managing to give a parting gift or what you can call a curse, to only one of his children by sealing the kyuubi inside the blond new born baby, believing that one day the boy will be seen as a hero.

It was indeed a curse having a beast living inside you, being secluded by the villagers, being treated as an outcast, and the child too believed it to be a curse trying his hardest to get his place in the village, getting people to acknowledge him, making it his goal to be hokage, and never deviating from his dream.

Coming back to the current emergency situation caused by the leader of the akatsuki Pain, who happened to be the killer of the legendary sage Jiraya, invaded the village in the sole intent to capture the last of the bijju (tailed beasts) the kyuubi . He blasted through the weak defence of the village and reached the hokage in a blink of an eye even after resisting a determined kakashi of the sharingan killing him in the process.

After a few exchange of words of greeting and the hokage taking no time deducing his identy, The leader of the akatsuki launched a deadly attack which turned the village into dust and barren land in an instant leaving the hokage mountain unscratched due to some last minute heroics of the hokage Senju Tsunade.

It was minutes after the aftermath, the kyuubi jinchuuriki arrived, astonished as the village hidden in the leaf showed glimpse of the desserts of the sand village. The kyuubi jinchuuriki showed his power to an extent of transforming into the beast with eight tails almost losing control when the fourth hokage appeared and helping his son. The kyuubi jinchuuriki managed to stop pain and even made an impression which saw him reviving all the villagers he killed and shouldering yet another burden of making the world a better place. The final wish of the fourth hokage came true when his son was hailed as a hero who saved the village from a brink of destruction. Ever since then the name Naruto Uzumaki resonated throughout the village.

Chapter 01: THE BEGINNING

It has a month since the Pain invasion. The village has gone back to the way it was before the attacks apart from some major changes like Danzo who snatched the hokage title from a unconscious Tsunade. Danzo was later killed by sasuke on his way back from the Kage Summit in the Iron Country where he was caught controlling Mifune with the eye he stole from Uchiha susui.

Naruto Uzumaki was lying on his bed. he was too lazy to wake up suddenly he heard a knock on his window. He turned around to find it was Kakashi-sensei.

"Naruto, get ready. Godaime has summoned you" kakashi gently conveyed the message to his student.

"Alright, I am coming" naruto said in a low lazy tone. He always thought it was a drag. The last time tsunade summoned him was when he heard the news about jiraya's death. He got ready and reached the hokage tower along with kakashi.

He entered the room and noticed tsunade standing next to her desk. Sizune was standing behind her and yamato was also present in the room and the most surprising part was on the far corner of the room he saw his brother leaning against the wall no bothered to look at him.

"Its rare to find you in a place like this. what are doing here narumi" asked naruto.

Naruto and Narumi get along well. Even though they were brothers, they didn't know each other until the chunin exams. Only before sarutobi died fighting orochimaru, he revealed to narumi that naruto was his brother.

"I didn't chose to be here. Tsunade-sama summoned me" narumi replied. Narumi was a genius like neji and sasuke. He has high sense of pride and he couldn't figure out naruto was his brother until sarutobi told him because he has red hair and naruto had yellow hair.

Tsunade cleared her throat and started explaining the reason they were summoned. " Listen, there have been reports from the fire country that there is some unusual chakra in the air. So the people in this room including me will go there to investigate the place and find the source of that chakra. I've asked narumi to come with us because he is by far the best sensor type we have in our village. We'll leave tonight. Assemble at the main entrance." she said.

"But why do I have to come" asked naruto.

Tsunade just signed and looked at kakashi asking him to explain. Kakashi nodded and explained the situation "Like us, there will be other people who must have sensed this chakra. So if we must face an enemy in battle, we need to be prepared."

"But still it is hard to believe that narumi agreed to come. I thought you don't like going to missions. You didn't even take part in Pain's fight" naruto said

Narumi looked at his brother and said " I agreed to come because there is something about this chakra that interests me. Otherwise I wouldn't have agreed". he said and left the hokage tower.

The team assembled at the gate at midnight and started off to the border of the fire country.

"We are a six man team. Narumi will lead the way and the rest of us will follow. Let's Move !" said tsunade.

The six man team of kakashi,yamato, naruto, sizunne, narumi and the hokage travelled across the fire country and reached the borders within a day and they stopped at the site which emits the unusual chakra. They could see a small hill with a cave. The hill itself is surrounded by thick mist and on top of it there is a swirling chakra.

"There are no signs of enemy of any traps. The coast is clear" narumi informed.

Unlike naruto, narumi was a gifted genius in ninjutsu. He specializes in lightning from jutsu and is considered one of the fastest shinobi of the current age.

"Right. Don't lose your guard. Lets see what is emitting the chakra" said tsunade. She moved in along with sizunne and yamato following right behind her. Kakashi went in when he noticed naruto was standing still and had a serious expression on his face.

"Naruto, lets move. Is there something wrong" asked kakashi.

There were various thoughts racing in his mind. He managed to find his voice. "Nothing, its just that the chakra coming from the cave is very similar to what I felt before. I cant remember who's chakra it is." He replied.

"As I thought" narumi thought in his mind. "The fact that naruto could relate this chakra means that my theory is correct. This is getting more and more interesting" his thoughts continued.

"Well we just have to go in and find out. Hurry we cant let the hokage go in alone" said kakashi. They could see that tsunade was already moving in.

Reluctantly naruto followed kakashi inside and narumi was the last in the line. The entered in to a cave and they could see a river flowing inside the cave. And there was a ray of sunlight making the water glitter and it was a scenic view.

That moment narumi noticed something was strange about this place but what he was seeing right now beat all the others to gain the ultimate focus of the five man team. The team were held at their feet couldn't move. It was a unbelievable sight.

All around the caves there were bodies scattered. All the bodies are famous for their own reasons. They were the bodies of the former heroes of the village.

There were totally seven bodies of people who are supposed to be dead.

Jiraya, Itachi, and a red haired woman and the last THE FOUR HOKAGES.

Immediately tsunade rushed to the first hokage, Yamato went to the second hokage, sizunne went to the third hokage, kakashi went to Jiraya and itachi, while naruto rushed to the fourth hokage and the red haired woman next to him.

TSUNADE- POV

I rushed to the body of the first hokage who is also my grandfather. I could hear sizunne reporting that second and sarutobi-sensei are alive. And I myself checked my grandfather's pulse. He really is alive. Even though he is my grandfather, he looks very young. Its like he is in his prime form. The same can be said for second and third hokage.

I stole a glance at kakashi who was trying to wake Jiraya up. I controlled my feelings and focused on getting grandfather up. I don't have time to worry about that idiot right now.

"Grandfather ! Grandfather !...wake up." said. I shook on his shoulders and finally after five or six calls he opened his eyes.

It was an astonishing sight for me. I looked around and looked at naruto who was on far corner of the cave. I knew that reunion is going to be a tough one. Even tougher than mine with Jiraya.

KAKASHI POV

It was an astonishing sight for me. I finally realised what naruto ment when he said he could identify the chakra and he couldn't relate it to who it was.

Of course now I know. It was Jiraya-sama's and my sensei's chakra. I would have gone to see sensei but I thought it was best if I let naruto handle it. After all, he did say sensei helped him in the fight against pain. it seems naruto already met sensei but still this is gonna be tough for them given his character and the character of the red haired woman next to him. For a minute I was worried but sensei is there so he could handle it.

The one i should handle is right here. I could see itachi already waking up. As I thought he is no ordinary shinobi. It was more like they were all in a deep slumber. I shook Jiraya-sama and finally he woke up and opened his eyes.

NARUTO POV

I could not believe my eyes. I could see others with the previous hokages and kakashi-sessei was trying to wake up Ero-sennin and itachi.

But right in front of me, dad was lying there. as everyone went to others, I realised that I should do the same for dad. I asked naruto to see the red haired woman next to my dad.

"Hey, What are you doing standing there.? come help this lady." I said to narumi pointing at the red haired woman.

As always I didn't get a reply from him. he was just standing still. I just focused on my father. I only met his chakra while fighting pain but now he is right there alive just like the other hokages.

"Hey dad.. wake up" I said trying to get him up.

I did the same once more and finally he stirred and woke up.

Somehow I feel a bit nervous seeing my father properly for the first time. Its not chakra or any jutsu. It is really him. On the other hand, I also feel excited about meeting him. I wonder what narumi is feeling right now.

I looked at him as he approached near me and he stood behind me.

My dad finally opened his eyes and he was now looking at me.

MINATO POV

I stirred up and woke up hearing someone's voice. The voice was so familiar. It is like I just heard it yesterday. I opened my eyes and it felt like I was in a deep sleep or like I am opening it after a long time.

I opened my eyes to see a blur image of someone watching me. His hair colour was yellow and he had these whiskers mark on his face. I realised who it was. Only one person I know had those marks. It was my son.

"Naruto,,Naruto is that you" I asked him.

"Dad you finally woke up.. are you alright" he asked me.

" Yeah am fine." I said . I looked around me and saw my student and my teacher. I also saw a person next to my sensei and I recognised it was fugaku's son itachi.

On the far corner of the cave like place I saw the first & second hokage with Tsunade-sama. I even saw sandaime with a leaf shinobi I didn't know.

I turned and saw a person standing behind naruto. he looked just like me, the same face cut and the same eyes. instead he had long red hair and he had a eye patch on his left eye. I can also see a three line scar on his left eye.

It is my son. Narumi. It must be him. I am sure. I am seeing him for the first time. I remember seeing naruto when I met him during his fight against pain. but this was my first time seeing narumi.

Next to me there was this red haired woman lying there. its my lovely wife.

"Kushina !" I said trying to wake her up. I called for some more time before she woke up and looked at me.

"Minato, is that you?" she asked in a low voice. "MINATO !" suddenly she scremed and hugged me.

"Kushina its me. Calm down" I told her. All this time I forgot my two sons were here and I just realised the fact that they didn't know kushina. When I briefly met naruto he did tell me that sandaime never told them about me or my wife. Before I could introduce her naruto beat me to it.

"Dad, who is this woman" naruto asked in a confused look. It almost made me laugh.

Upon hearing the word father, kushina took a look at naruto and narumi. It didn't take her even a second to recognize who those two are.

"Wow naruto, you have grown up a lot haven't you" she said.

This only made naruto even more confused.

"What the…How do you know my name..! who are you" asked naruto.

Thinking this will be tough for kushina, I decided to help her.

"Naruto, Narumi this is— ." kushina pushed me as I was about to tell them. She interrupted me. Seems like it had the opposite reaction.

"Well Naruto, Guess who I am" she said.

Naruto thought for a moment. "You are just some woman who dad fell for. You vexin—." He was interrupted with a smack on his head.

"LIKE NOOO !"

I chipped in trying to calm her down. "Kushina calm down"

Kushina realised what she did. "got a little worked up there. I always lose my temper easily. What about you naruto"

I saw naruto's eyes widen. I can kinda understand how he feels.

He hugged kushina so tight, tears flowing out of his eyes. It was a beautiful sight to watch. Also part of me was sad when thought about how much naruto must have missed his mother he never knew until now.

Kushina also hugged him back it was such a pleasure to watch. All this while narumi was just standing there leaning against a rock eyes closed. I noticed he is very different from naruto.

Kushina looked at me. I could see how happy she was. It truly great being here for whatever the reason I am here.

"That's unfair naruto. Your mom gets a hug while I get punched in my gut. I am jealous" I teased him. even though he punched me, it made me happy when he said he was Yondaime's son and he can handle it.

Naruto just gave me a foxy grin.

"Well naruto, I see you got stuck my looks but atleast you got your father's hair." Kushina said

I was just beaming with pride. He sure did look great with my hair. But his resembled the cuteness of kushina's.

Naruto just laughed. "Your hair is not bad at all. I am sure I would look cool with your hair. Just like narumi" he said pointing towards narumi who was still standing there.

I realised he hasen't spoken from the time he came here.

"Narumi, why don't you come and join us here" kushina asked.

Just when I thought he was about to speak, "I am fine" narumi said and he walked past us to a place which looked more like a shrine.

I could see kushina was about to persuade him. I stopped her. "Let him be kushina. Be patient" I said to her.

"But I just.." she stopped in loss of words.

"I know how you feel, but we need to take things slowly" I tried to convince her. She nodded her head.

I didn't know what to say when naruto broke the ice. It seems like naruto is good at making people happy.

"Mom your hair is really nice" he said.

"well thank you naruto" kushina quickly changed moods. "you are the second person to compliment my hair." She said.

"Who's first" asked naruto..

"of course its your dad" she said. "and you know I gave him something special. I'll give it to you too"

"What's that." Naruto asked excited about what kushina will give him.

She gave a peck on his cheeks. Naruto was like cloud nine. But he couldn't react well. Maybe its new for him.

Suddenly a voice came from behind.

"Look at the happy family together" a old voice said.

I turned back to see my sensei and kakashi walking towards us. Kakashi has grown a lot while my sensei looks the same way he did before I died.

"Hello sensei. its great to see you again. Wow kakashi, you sure have changed a lot" I tell them.

"Nice to see you again sensei" kakashi said.

"Hey Kiddo..You look like you have gotten really strong. Now shouldn't you thank your master" Jiraya-sensei teased my son.

It was a surprise for me that my sensei was naruto's sensei too. Naruto just started pouting.

"I am happy you are here but I am still mad at you" naruto said. "You say I am your student but you do all the things alone." He said.

Me and kushina were clueless as to what he was talking about. I guessed it must be about sensei's death.

"Look naruto, minato is like a son to me and that makes you like my grandson. I can never risk my grandson like that. I entrusted the future to you. That's something you'll definitely achieve one day." My sensei said.

It always makes me feel warm whenever sensei calls me son. I am happy even naruto had a similar bond with sensei.

"Wow naruto, I imagine you must be very strong if Jiraya was your master" kushina chipped in. she also had a sign of relief when she saw how naruto and Jiraya got along.

"Well I must ask this. Dad are you a pervert ?" Naruto asked me out of the blue.

"W-what are you talking about naruto" I asked

"well dad, your teacher is a pervert, your teacher's teacher is a pervert, your student is a pervert. So I asked if you are a pervert too" he said.

Suddenly kushina's sign of relief was replaced with worries.I didn't know what to tell when more people joined us. It was the three hokage with tsunade-sama and two leaf shinobi I didn't know.

"It's a geat honour to meet you predecessors" I greeted them. The first hokage gave me a confused look, similar to what naruto had a few minutes back.

"Huh, Who are you" the first asked me.

"The Fourth Hokage" I told him showing my white jacket.

"Oh a Fourth. I see the village has been safe till now" the first said.

"well I don't know if the village is safe or not as I was sealed before the third."

"I see. That's too bad. So who is the fifth then" he asked.

"I Don't know" I told him …at that time Jiraya pointed out that it was tsunade .

Suddenly the first fell low. "is the village alright"

Tsunade-sama lost her patience. " what's that supposed to mean" she asked in a angry tone.

"Ha Ha Ha…since she was my first grandchild I spoiled her a lot. I even taught her gambling" the first said.

"So it was you" Jiraya-sensei and naruto shouted in chorus pointing a finger at the first.

The cave filled with the burst of laughter.

NORMAL POV

The second hokage was the first to cut into the subject. "Anyway whats going on here. How are we alive" he asked.

Tsunade explained to the extent of her knowledge in the situation "we are currently in the borders of the fire country. We got reports that there is a mass of swirling chakra. When we arrived here to investigate, we found you all inside this cave." She said.

"I see. So we have to idea what is going on" the third hokage said.

"I do" a voice came from behind. They all turned their attention to narumi who was standing next to the shrine.

"What do you mean." Asked naruto.

Narumi came towards the group. "I Know what is going on" he said.

"Narumi continued "Those symbols you see, I have seen them before. Those symbols represent the tomb of the "THE SAGE OF SIX PATHS"

Everyone was shocked hearing that name. "But The Sage of six paths is only a myth" kakashi said.

"Am afraid not kakashi-san. Like this there are one in every country. So my guess is the our kages are not the only ones who have been resurrected. The other kages of other countries must have come back to life too." Narumi said.

"How did you know about this" asked tsunade.

Narumi just calmly replied "it was carved in a stone in the ruins of the Uzumaki country. It was left by Uzumaki mito. I am sure you know about it shodaime-sama"

"Yes it is true. I know mito left something but I didn't ask her what it was. Does anybody else know about this" the first asked.

"Not that I know of. But you should ask your old friend when you see him" narumi replied with a grin. "Initially,There is one more chakra I sensed which is missing. I didn't know who's it was but it was definetly a Uchiha. I am sure by now you would have realised who I am talking about"

"UCHIHA….MADARA"
