Breaking Space and Time

by Skeleturd

Naruto has to save everyone and he can't do it in his universe, so what better to do than travel to a different universe and save everyone there? So Naruto hops to it and ends up way back in time in another universe of Naruto, In a Universe where he saved Kushina and not Minato. What changes will happen due to this one occurrence. And what else is different from his universe?

1. Chapter 1

Breaking Space and Time!

Fun fact: this is the longest chapter I have ever even written; word count is; 4008 words; YEA!

Swoosh…

Swoosh…

Swoosh…

That was the sound of a golden blur seemingly teleporting back and down the path. Except that would be a gross misunderstanding because if the blur was in fact teleporting… You wouldn't be able to hear the sound of it shooting past. So it's is logical to assume that this strange blur was in-fact simply running back and forth at such an incredible speed that it only Seemed that it was teleporting, so the speed that this blur must have been traveling at was faster than anything that had ever been discovered within the world that is… the Elemental Nations.

By this point the blur had now ran the distance of the one mile path an uncountable amount of times as the noise of the blur passing by was occurring every two seconds.

Essentially, this blur could run two miles in two seconds which would then mean that the blur was able to travel one mile per second, the fastest distance travelled without the use of jutsu.

However, this blur could not care in the slightest about this fact. From the looks of it the only thing that this blur cared for was simply being FAST. The path that the blur was using as its track was simply a line within the dirt that had been trodden upon so much that it had actually become a pathway within the dirt.

Fun fact; nothing else has ever stepped on this same path. And if this was to be believed then the blur on this path has run back and forth so many times that it had beaten the dirt further into the ground and had made an actual path. But the question always remained… what in the world was that blur? And why was it running back and forth down the same stretch of dirt path?

Both of these questions can be answered rather simply by the blur itself.

Swoosh…

Not fast enough.

Swoosh…

Still not fast enough.

Swoosh…

Still, STILL not fast enough.

Swoosh…

C'mon, I NEED to be faster!

Swoosh…

Faster.

Swoosh…

FASTER.

Swoosh…

FASTER!

Swoosh…

THERE!

Suddenly the blur stopped in its track without having to slow its momentum and this revealed the blur to be a young man covered in what looked like golden fire which made the already spikey hair even spikier than what it really was. The golden fire also created an almost cloak shape figure around the young man which blew within the non-existent wind. Upon this golden fire-like coat was an assortment of black stripes in a stylish pattern and on the upper back of the man's golden coat was a black stylised whirlpool like shape which was circled by the black stripes that run along the coat.

As soon as the man stopped, he went through so many hand-seals in a mere matter of seconds that no one would be able to count exactly how many he used. The man finished his last seal and ended on a dragon variant hand-seal in which a mass amount of energy practically exploded from within the young man harnessing the power. The exponential amount of energy that the man had gathered through all of the kinetic energy he gained from the constant running plus as much Chakra as the man could expel formed together to create a dome of pure golden energy around the man.

The energy gathered started to close in and decrease in size, encasing the man in an even smaller dome than before.

The last thoughts that the man had were as follows…

My friends… This time I will save you all… no matter the cost… THAT is the promise of a lifetime.

The dome collapsed on itself and the result was a huge explosion which created a crater that expanded at least ten miles, levelling anything that was in path of it. And in the middle of the crater, where you'd expect a body to be was surprisingly empty, not even a speck of ripped clothing was left of what used to be a young man. To anyone else it would seem that the man was completely vaporised. But that couldn't have been further from the truth. Because in fact the man hadn't killed himself, no. The man had single-handedly erased his entire existence from reality, no information on the man was left in that world for how could information about the man exist… when there was no man in the first place.

However, to say that erasing oneself from reality and dying are the same thing, they are surprisingly completely different meanings, being killed or dying meant that you existed within the universe to die in the first place whilst erasing yourself from the universe meant that you never existed In the first place.

However, erasing someone in one universe doesn't mean that that man might not suddenly appear within another universe.

This is a story of a man who would risk his entire existence to save his friends and he succeeded…

In another universe, the spot where the man had erased his existence wasn't a crater with no life for miles. In this universe the location was a luxurious forest landscape that stretched on for miles upon miles. Filled to burst with animals of all nature.

However something changed within this forest, the universe had to re-build itself due to a rather surprising occurrence. An occurrence that was thought impossible and ludicrous in itself to attempt had just happened.

From high in the sky a tear in the fabric of space and time opened and for a tense second nothing happened… the universe simply stopped occurring for a second until suddenly, a body fell from the tear, a very familiar body fell, however there were some stark changes from before.

But there was no time to assess what these new changes were as the body realised that it was quickly falling to its untimely death, or you'd think it'd be but no, the body simply vanished from the air and appeared perched upon one of the many tree branches that were permeating the forest.

The body shuddered slightly before it stood up straight and cheered for its heart's delight.

"YES IT WORKED" The shout was certainly loud but it informed the shouter of something rather important.

"What the hell? Why am I 16 again?" The now teen exclaimed as he checked himself over, and in doing so he realised another massive difference.

"Why am I still in tailed beast mode? I can't seem to revert to my basic form…" The teen was now thoroughly confused, during his many, many theoretical thoughts he had never come across the chance that his body would revert to a younger age and that his form at the time of the process would then become his permanent form. But something was wrong with his tailed beast mode… no matter how hard he tried he couldn't sense any form of Bujiu chakra, none at all. It was as if the tailed beast form that he was currently in was nothing more than a cosmetic new feature.

But that means…

The teen adopted a concentrated look and after a few minutes, the teen sighed as a forlorn look appeared on his face.

Kurama… You're gone… Just another friend I have to save.

The teen stood there, perched on the tree for a while, contemplating his next move, due to the fact that his age had changed and his physical looks had certainly changed, he was going to have to make a few stories up as to who he was.

Okay, the tailed beast mode can be easily covered up as a strange form of Kekkei Genkai which affected from birth, and since there is no Bujiu chakra coming from this form that story can actually work. My age I can just say that my parent's died when I was younger during a bandit raid on a small village that was wiped from the map. I'll change my name to Naruto… Naruto Kurama. A bit lazy but it should work.

With his thoughts sorted, the teen decided to head in the direction of where Konoha would be located but stopped when he realised that something was attached to his forehead, reaching up, he felt the warm sensation of the golden chakra coat as he untied his headband. Turning it around in his hand so he could see it clearly, the teen simply stared at the simply piece of metal which embodied everything he ever was. Sighing deeply, Naruto grasped the piece of metal firmly and cocked his arm back and then he threw it with everything he had and was pleased to see it shoot of like a comet and also sad because it meant that he was no longer Naruto Uzumaki or Naruto Namikaze.

No, now he was Naruto Kurama in dedication to the only person who stuck with him through it all.

I will save everyone this time… Nothing will stop me.

With that thought, Naruto shot off like a bullet, towards Konoha going as fast as this new body could which was at least half as slow as he was in his universe.

This annoyed Naruto greatly as he knew that he was no longer the fastest in the Nations anymore.

After at least twenty minutes of full on sprinting through the trees, Naruto noticed something really odd.

Stopping in his tracks as best as he could with the damaged balance that he now had, he just stopped himself from falling face-first from the branch he was currently on. The reason he stopped was because his incredibly sharp eyes had noticed something on the ground that was in one word "peculiar".

Red was the thought running through his mind as he dropped from the branch and landed less silently than he would have liked, crouching down he picked up the red object and inspected it in detail.

Hair… Red hair… Oh no!

Growing panicked Naruto now realised what this piece of red hair signified.

His mother was kidnapped.

Shit!

Looking in the direction that the hair fell from Naruto noticed another piece of red hair up ahead at least 20 meters away from this one. His direction confirmed Naruto took off as fast as his body could, ignoring the fact that he was already becoming slightly winded. He was careful to keep his eyes peeled even more than before for any of the hair strands.

It wasn't that long before Naruto came up to the kidnapper and his "mom".

Well mum was a bit off a strong word considered his "mum" currently looked like a thirteen year old.

Well at least I know that I am in the right time.

Naruto was about to jump out of the bushes and save his mum. But he paused in thought.

Wasn't dad supposed to save mum here? Isn't this where they fell in love? Naruto suddenly grew excited as he realised that he would get to see his mother and father fall in love. So Naruto followed quietly in anticipation for his father's obviously dramatic rescue, he waited and waited and waited but there was no signal of anyone coming to save his mum.

What the hell? Where is he? Mum told me that dad saved mum long before they came towards the border of fire-country. If so why are we only one mile out from the border? C'mon dad, don't let mum and me down.

Naruto decided to give it until they were in viewing distance of the border, then he would personally step in.

Twenty minutes passed… twenty long minutes and there still no sign of dad and they were no in viewing distance of the border.

Naruto sighed sorry dad. With that thought Naruto sped off from his hiding location towards the man kidnapping his mother.

He came too quickly for the kidnapper to react and so there was no defence for the vicious right hook that knocked the man into a tree across the path, Naruto caught his mother from falling and Naruto took a second to notice that the kidnapper was simply knocked out and not dead.

What? How much strength have I lost? In my universe I would've punched a hole in the guy. Damn it! What else have I lost?

"Minato"? Asked a weak voice and Naruto looked at the young girl in his arms and sighed under his breath and quickly placed a calming smile on his face.

"No, don't know who this Minato guy is! The name's Naruto Kurama, wandering ninja for hire and also your rescuer" Naruto frankly weird introduction brought a confused look upon the girls delicate face.

"Oh no! I didn't ruin some sort of strange confession of love between you and knocked out guy over there did I? I always make that mistake it seems" Naruto joked as he jokingly frowned at the girl in his arms who giggled in response at Naruto's attempt to lighten the mood.

Something caught the girl's eyes.

"So… golden".

"Eh?"

"My golden… knight to my rescue".

Naruto's brows practically shot off his head, he didn't expect his new form to have this kind of effect.

"No… that's the other guy" Naruto supplied in a way to break the awkwardness he was suddenly feeling. He was glad that the girl once again giggled at his joke.

"So, you okay there miss?"

"Kushina Uzumaki... And yes I'm okay, they used anaesthetics so I can't actually move and I'm very sleepy now that you mention it".

"Anything else?" Naruto asked. However Kushina didn't hear his question as she was currently burrowing deeper into Naruto's arms.

"Hmmm… so warm… nice".

"Hey! No going asleep until you tell me where were going".

"Hmm? Oh err… Konoha please, if you know where that is".

"Thankfully I do, I was actually on my way there in the first place to ask for employment until I came across your hair on the floor."

She didn't know why but knowing that Naruto was looking to stay in Konoha made her happy.

Naruto was nervous, he wasn't sure what was going to happen because of his interference, hopefully he wouldn't end up damaging the time-line too bad but he felt that he still needed to say something to his mu- no, to Kushina in his arms. He contemplated this as he turned to the direction of the village and began the long sprint there.

Massing up his courage, Naruto leaned down to the girl in his arms and whispered the three magical words.

"Your hairs pretty".

A surprised eep could be heard as Kushina blushed and burrowed deeper into her rescuer's arms and Naruto couldn't prevent the laughter that escaped his lips.

Maybe he made the right choice for interfering? Only time would tell.

But first he had to wonder why this form always made people feel comfortable which was further proven by the rescued girl drifting to sleep within his arms.

Either I've already messed up more than I ever could off… Or maybe I can still fix this?

…

…

…

Doubt it.

Time skip

"Ugh!" Kushina rose from the sheets that covered her as she inspected where she was and was happy to recognise the stark white room of a hospital room.

"Ah! Kushina-chan you're awake!" spoke a familiar voice.

Still feeling the after-effects of the drugs she wasn't able to make out who exactly the person was.

"Naruto-kun?" she inquires as she sees the vaguely familiar blonde locks.

Wait, blonde?

A chuckle is heard in the room and Kushina's head swivels in the other direction and clearly sees the person she just mentioned sat in a chair, still glowing radiantly golden.

Taking a second, Kushina looks back to the other person and sees someone else she recognises.

"Minato?" she asks and receives a nod from said person as he leans in for a hug.

It was at that point that Naruto assumed that he didn't need to fix anything between his parents.

Sadly he was going to be proven wrong, something that he felt was going to become a common occurrence.

Kushina reeled back from Minato, slapping his face in the process.

"HOW DARE YOU" she screams at him.

Silence was all that was left in the room after that outburst. Minato held his stinging cheek whilst Naruto cringed painfully.

Yep… defiantly going to be a bruise on that sucker tomorrow.

"Kushina-chan, what?"

"DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME THAT… You didn't try to save me. Naruto did, so don't act like you care".

"Kushina-chan. I tried but I couldn't keep track!"

Naruto briefly wondered if that was because he picked up one of the hairs. He suddenly felt really stupid for doing that.

"Don't lie to me! You're just like the rest of them… bullying me because I'm from Uzushiogakure!"

"NO!"

"GET OUT YOU BASTARD".

Minato quickly left.

It was at that part that Naruto realised that maybe he wouldn't be able to fix this, it seems that Minato rescuing her was the make or break point between them. But Naruto wasn't one for giving up so he certainly had his work cut out for him.

Kushina kept the brave face up for all four seconds after Minato left hurriedly before she broke down crying.

Naruto threw reason to air at that point, someone he cared for deeply was crying and he was going to fix it, damn it!

Raising from his seated position, Naruto quickly moved over to Kushina which garnered her attention.

"What, you gonna' laugh at me too?"

No word was spoken as Naruto stared into his mother's eyes and he realised something.

This wasn't his mother.

This was a girl.

This was a girl who was bullied for most of her life.

This was a girl whose entire clan was wiped from existence.

This was a girl who was recently kidnapped and thought that she was going to die.

This was a girl who shared his burden of keeping Kurama at bay.

This wasn't his mother, it was a girl in desperate need of someone who cared for her.

And he'd be dammed if he wasn't up for the job.

Slowly reaching out to Kushina, he frowned when she flinched.

"Hey! You weren't flinching when you fell asleep in my arms!" Naruto said jokingly. Making kushina once again giggle as she wiped as many tears as she could from her eyes. She was brave girl as she sniffled and smiled back at Naruto.

"That's good! Don't lose that pretty smile" Naruto wrapped his arms around the three years younger girl shoulder and simply stood there hugging her as she let out all of the tears that she had held back all the years.

Naruto leaned in closer to her ear.

"It goes with that pretty hair of yours".

"Th-thank-you s-so much" kushina managed to wretch out as she held onto Naruto like her life depended on the teen in-front of her.

And it was at that point that Naruto simply thought.

Screw it! I can't let her be by herself in this state! I'll show that people care about her… That I care about her, I don't care if she is my mother, no person should suffer like this alone and as I said to myself before.

This is not my mother…

It took five minutes for Kushina to gain some semblance of her emotions and when she did, she blushed like a ripe tomato and Naruto couldn't help but laugh loudly at her embarrassed face.

"Shut up!" Kushina demanded jokingly as she tried to hide her face from Naruto.

"Oh! I'm sorry, your face was just so cute though!" Naruto stated as he attempted to get another look at her blushing face, laughing as she kept hiding her face from him.

"So what are you going to do now?" she asked worriedly, hoping that he didn't have to leave.

Naruto noticed the worried look that she sent him and was glad to feel wanted by someone. "Well, I brought you back and straight to the Hokage's tower. When I showed you him, he asked the routine questions. What happened? Who are you? Why did you save her? All that stuff. I told him what happened from what I saw and said that I saved you because I was hoping to join Konoha. That and I enjoy saving pretty girls." A blush found its way onto Kushina's face once again.

"What then?" she managed to get out before she hid her face again.

"Well I won't bore you with all the details, he asked what my age was, I said sixteen, and he asked me what was up with my skin and my strange fiery golden glow".

"Yea… what is that about?"

"A rare Kekkei Genkai that my family had the very small chance of developing, I am the second ever to develop it".

"Oh. What does it do?"

"Nothing much, I can sense somebody's intentions and I also permeate a warm calming sensation upon touch".

"Oh…"

"I know… nothing too impressive eh?"

"Oh no… no It's awesome, you look so cool like that!" Kushina exclaimed excitedly which made Naruto laugh.

"Glad you think so… Anyway the Hokage asked to test my skills tomorrow for what rank I should receive and in the meantime he told me to find some accommodation".

Kushina's eyes lit up.

"Come live with me! I's just me at the Uzumaki compound!" she explained as Naruto inwardly cringed.

Damn! Can't say no to her!

Naruto smiled slightly.

"I'd be happy to!" he answered and Kushina practically exploded with enthusiasm as she glomped Naruto and ploughed him over. Naruto hit the floor with an oof. They both started laughing hysterically.

It was that point that the door to the room opened and in walked two worried looking girls.

All sound stopped at that point as the two new arrivals saw Kushina lying on-top of a glowing man.

"Mikoto-chan! Taji-chan! What are you two doing here?"

The two girls simply stared on at the sight before them.

Naruto couldn't help it… he laughed to his heart's content at the embarrassed face of Kushina as she like before hid her face in his chest.

"I'll get all of you for this, I promise that Dattebayo!"

Naruto then decided that yes, he did make the right choice if only to see the girl on-top of him be happy.

In the end wasn't his mission to save everyone? What's wrong being a bit selfish once in a while?

Chap end

I really hoped you like it and I know I need to finish a story before I start another but I'm an idiot who can't seem to stop thinking of new awesome stories!

Please say what you think of this story and any questions that you want to ask, feel free to ask any way you wish too.

Thanks so much for reading my amateurish work and I hoped it entertained you at least. Don't forget the Omake at the bottom!

This is me signing out for chapter one
JA NE!

Swooshing wrong!

Naruto had been attempting to build up the required amount of kinetic energy for his justu for 2 hours now and he was still nowhere near having enough energy for the damned thing to work.

Swoosh…

Swoosh…

Swoosh…

Swoo-OH SHIT!

CRASH

Naruto stumbled out of tree he made a Naruto shaped hole in whilst holding his aching head in the hopes that the pain would fade away and give him sweet relief from the headache that was sure to come.

Suddenly an idea struck Naruto.

"WHY THE HELL AM I RUNNING THIS FAST IN A FOREST?"

Omake end
