A/N
this is the rewrite of The deadlast of the future. I really have been sloppy about the story and some things should be removed and added. The story is not going to be the same, but it still has some of the same aspects to it. There are some major changes and some not at all. Enjoy.
Naruto never planned on dying. He had resently been crowned Hokage*, he had Hinata by his side and his son and daughter. Life was good, but for some reason it couldn't stay that way.
He was bleeding heavily, he had lost all feeelings in his left side and his vision was blurring. He could feel Hinata gently squeezing his left hand, whispering soothing words as he saw Sakura approaching, probably ready to try and heal him.
Naruto smiled. He looked at Hinata, filling his heart with joy and sadness. "Hinata." He said. She nodded carefully as she stopped her whispering.
"Take care of Boruto and Himawari for me... the village, make sure that someone good will take care of it for me. Please act in my place until the council finds someone suitable as Hokage. I-"
"Kit." A voice interrupted. Naruto blinked and found himself inside his mindscape, looking at the great nine tails. "Kurama, if you didn't notice, I'm busy dying." Naruto said. Kurama snorted.
"Like you should die here. I know that you are ment for more Naruto, now please, let me do my thing." Kurama said and waved with his tails. Naruto nodded and Kurama's eyes closed in concentration.
"I need you to weave some hand signs. There are many, but you can't not loose focus and make a mistake." Naruto looked at him puzzled.
"What are you going to do?" He asked. Kurama grinned slightly. "I have to send you back somewhere, I need you to take one of your best memories and focus on it, do not waver." Kurma explained. "Hurry, you're loosing chakra* quickly, we must do it now." Naruto nodded.
"Hinata. I love you, I will always love you." He said as he hugged Hinata closely before he started making hand signs as Kurama guided him along the way. "Naruto? What are you doing?" Hinata asked. Naruto gave her a grin.
"I'm going to defy fate again, believe it!" Naruto said and closed his eyes in concentration. Kurama suddenly blasted a huge amount of chakra into the system, the amount straining Naruto's chakra network, even though he already had much more chakra than your average jonin, perhaps even kage.
Naruto screamed in pain as his seal flared and started tearing apart, forcefully trying to remove Kurama. "Kurama! What is happening?!" Naruto shouted out loud. Hinata grabbed his hand and Sakura started pushing her healing chakra into him. "Sakura stop! Don't heal!" Naruto said, his voice much darker and more feral.
Sakura withdrew her hands like they had been burned. Naruto flashed through the remaining hand signs before he felt his counciousness being ripped away.
...
Naruto opened his eyes. Sunlight blinded him momentarily before he took in his surroundings. "What the..?" Naruto said and sat up. He was currently in a bed, in a room that resembled his old bedroom from when he was a genin. "Kurama?" He asked out loud. No reply. Naruto groaned. His body was sore all over and he couldn't get in contact with the furry tenant of his.
He looked at his nightstand, finding a pair of green goggles with the name "Naruto" Written on a small patch on top of it.
Naruto smiled. He wore them a lot before he became genin, almost all the time. He suddenly got a chill, noticing that he was still wearing his pajamas. He hurried over to the closet where he found several sets of an orange jumpsuit.
"What." Naruto said. He quickly went over to the large mirror he had beside a cupboard. He gazed over his much smaller, less muscular, twelve year od body.
"What?!" He shouted. He ran a hand through his hair. Kurama had said something about going back, but Naruto hadn't really thought of a specific memory, he thought about the day he became genin momentarily before he lost conciousness, but he couldn't possibly actually be in the past.
He threw off his shirt and sent chakra to the seal. A secure eight trigram seal appeared on his stomach. Naruto groaned. He grabbed a black t-shirt and a pair of orange pants from his closet, removing the rest of his nightwear before changing.
"Wait, if I went back to the day I graduated, doesn't it mean that I have to go to the academy? What time is it?" Naruto spoke out loud as he hurried into the kitchen where his clock was.
"I'm gonna be late!" Naruto shouted as he ran out of the apartment. He gathered chakra to his legs and found himself suddenly going at a much greater speed than what he actually ment to. He found himself at the academy, hurrying into the building. He rounded the hall as he saw his old classroom, or current, or is it old now that he is graduating? Naruto shook the thought out as he opened the door.
Iruka was explaining the rules of the exam, the class being a little quiet, but not more than normal.
"Naruto! How could you be late for such an important day?" Iruka shouted. Naruto cringed. He laughed nervously and ran a hand through his hair again, it really was a habit he had gathered over the years, the stress of being Hokage for nearly six months actually taking a toll on him. He did love the job, but the amount of paperwork and bratty genins was a little much at times.
"I'm sorry Iruka-sensei, I didn't feel so well today." Naruto said sheepishly. Iruka looked at him carefully. "Well, you don't seem too ill now, go sit down." Naruto spotted Ino and Sakura sitting at the row with Sasuke. Had he been there early he probably would have sit next to Sasuke, only to be knocked over by Sakura if he remembered correctly.
He saw a free spot next to Shikamaru and walked over. "Yo! Shikamaru, can I sit here?" Naruto asked. Shikamaru shrugged before he went back to his laziness. Naruto sat down and looked at Iruka. The man that was currently lecturing had grown a little old by the time Naruto became Hokage. Sure, he was a young man now, but when Naruto became hokage and Naruto himself was thirty two, Iruka was already in his fourties. While it wasn't that old, it still was some visible wrinkles that Naruto could occasionally mock, as long as it wasn't too much.
"The graduation exam is an exam on one of the three academy jutsu*, this year being the clone jutsu." Naruto groaned. He looked at his desk quietly. Could he pass if he used a shadow clone, would they notice? He had to pass at least, he had to become Hokage again.
Naruto sensed someone staring at him. He looked around quickly before he met a pair of pale eyes. Hinata. Naruto blushed slightly, as did Hinata as she noticed that he looked back at her. She turned red instantly and turned back to the blackboard.
"I will go into the room next door, another chuunin will call your name when it is your turn. I'll be in there with Mizuki to recieve you." Naruto's eyes darkened. Mizuki, a traitor by heart. He was currently after the forbidden scroll to gain power, he later joined Orochimaru too.
Naruto looked out the window. He had to find a way to contact Kurama. Naruto spotted Sasuke sitting in front of him. This Sasuke was brooding, thinking about his revenge. Not the Sasuke Naruto knew, who had a daughter with the pinkette sitting next to him. Sakura, she was still a fangirl, with no medicational experience or strenght. All this one had was booksmarts, which really didn't help during the wave mission. The only time she started blooming was during the Chuunin Exam, but even then she wasn't exactly strong.
Naruto sighed. What was he going to do? He came on Sasuke's team because he failed the exam, but passed because of Iruka's judgment later that day after the scroll incident, but if Naruto failed he wouldn't show his abilities and still keep the idiot Naruto facade. Which he really didn't like, he was Hokage after all, not some measly genin.
"Uzumaki Naruto." A voice called out. Naruto snapped out of his thoughts and stood up. He nodded at the Chuunin and followed the woman out of the room. Iruka and Mizuki was seated behind a desk, papers in their hands and a serious expression across their faces.
"Naruto, perform the clone technique." Iruka said. Naruto nodded slowly. He lifted his hands into the familiar hand sign. pouring chakra into the jutsu. "Bunshin no Jutsu*" Naruto exclaimed. His chakra exploded and ten over cooked clones lied on the floor. "Well, that's just unfair." Naruto deadpanned.
Iruka looked at Naruto who examined the clones carefully. "Naruto, I can't pass this." Blue eyes met dark ones. "But sensei, it's the jutsu." Naruto started. Iruka stopped him with a hand. "The other students could make at least three properly functioning clones, you might have made ten, but they won't do any use in the field." Naruto looked at the clones.
He really had to fix the academy when he become Hokage again. First of all, the students chakra should be measured every year, and jutsu appropriate for their level should be taught. Naruto at this age had the chakra of a high chuunin to low jonin level, but he kept the chakra from the future, hence the ten clones. This meant that he had to do a jutsu ment for actual academy level students with kage level chakra with nearly no control of it, because his body literally can't handle it.
Naruto dispelled the clones. He started to walk out the door before he muttered out loud. "Like anyone uses the clone jutsu when in the field." He shut the door behind him before walking out of the academy. He saw Hinata on the way out and smiled to her. She tried to smile, or at least Naruto thought it was a try, but she instantly turned red and hurried down the hall.
Cute.
Naruto found his favourite swing under the one tree in front of the academy. Many students had met up with their parents, showing off their headbands. Naruto gave a laugh. Nine out of these actually became genin.
Naruto spotted Iruka standing alongside a man with a familiar hat. "Jiji*" Naruto whispered out loud. He hadn't seen the Hokage in nearly twenty years, yet the memories of him was so vivid.
Naruto wanted to run over and give the old man a hug, but before he even managed to stand up he noticed his white haired teacher.
"Naruto." Mizuki said. Naruto looked up at the teacher. "Mizuki-sensei?" He asked. "Come with me for a little." Naruto nodded. He followed the teacher to his apartment's roof, where the two sat down while watching the sun slowly setting.
"Iruka didn't pass you because he doesn't like you, he really wants you to be a great ninja at your full potential." Mizuki said with a small smile. Naruto frowned.
"The academy should deal with students better." He muttered. Mizuke raised an eyebrow. Naruto looked up at him. "Y'know, I really wanted to pass! I know I will be the greatest! I probably already am!" Naruto exclaimed, mentally laughing.
"I guess I have no choice." Mizuki said. "There is a cabin right outside the walls of Konoha in the forest, at the west side. You get there after walking for twenty minutes. Your task is to sneak into the Hokage's office, take a scroll called 'the forbidden scroll'. It is a second exam for some more advanced students. You have to learn a jutsu from that scroll and when I come pick you up you can show it to me and you pass." Mizuki explained. Naruto nodded.
"I'll do it and finish in no time!" Naruto shouted and ran towards the Hokage tower.
Naruto easily snuck into the office to the third hokage, he knew how the security worked and how to bypass all security seals. He looked up and saw the Third himself looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"Naruto?" He asked. Tears almost formed in Naruto's eyes as his figure grandfather stood before him alive again. "Jiji, I failed the exam." Naruto said. Naruto looked as the Third's expression softened, the usual comforting atmosphere the man had spreading onto him.
"Naruto, you will be a great ninja one day, perhaps this day just wasn't it." The third said. Naruto looked at the floor. He could tell the third about his current condition. He could prove it, hell, he might be able to help Sasuke before the bastard gets his brother killed.
Sasuke awakened the mangekyo after Itachi died, but there might be other ways to bypass it, it is emotional trauma of someone you love, it is just the matter of where, when and how to stage it. Itachi and Sasuke could switch eyes which would give them both the eternal mangekyo. Sasuke awakened the rinnegan after their talk with the Sage of the sixth paths, which probably is going to happen again, since Obito and Madara is still out there, including Zetsu.
"Naruto?" The third asked. Naruto took a deep breath. To tell or not to tell. If he changed the future too much, would it be too unpredictable and ultimately make him loose? No, he won't loose. Perhaps some things will be different, but this is a grand opportunity to save many, perhaps everyone!
"Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen." Naruto said. The Hokage's eyed widened. "I know I'll probably sound a little crazy, but I want you to activate the privacy seals and send your anbu outside the window or something. No one can hear what I am about to say." Naruto said, using the best hokage voice his twelve year old body could handle.
"Naruto? What's going on?" Hiruzen asked. Naruto looked at him directly. "This goes into the catagory of rule 546, part fifteen paragraph five. The rules that the fourth Hokage created." Naruto said. Hiruzen looked at him with a shocked expression. He sent the anbu out and activated the seals silently.
"Those are codes only known to the Hokages Naruto, how do you-?" Hiruzen started. Naruto took a deep breath again.
"First of all, you should be aware of that I know my status as a jincuuriki*, who my parents are and a lot more." Naruto said. Hiruzen's eyes steeled. "From when?" He asked.
"For me, mentally, twenty years ago." Naruto said. Hiruzen chuckled. "This is a good prank Naruto, but please refrain from joking when using such serious measures." Hiruzen said. Naruto shook his head. "I learned it from my academy instructor Mizuki, who currently believes I'm stealing the forbidden scroll for a false graduation exam. I learned about the kyuubi under similiar circumstances when I was twelve years old, when I also learned the Kage Bunshin no jutsu*" Naruto said.
"What? Naruto what is going on? I'm not following. Mizuki is a traitor? You were twelve twenty years ago?" Hiruzen asked.
"I nearly died, jiji. This morning. The kyuubi taught me a jutsu that sent me back in time, I think." Naruto said, he chuckled slightly.
"The kyuubi? Are you perhaps under his influence?" Hiruzen asked. Naruto looked him straight in the eyes. "Do you doubt my father's sealing abilities? I think you would trust your successor more than that." Naruto deadpanned.
"So you do know who your father is." Hiruzen said. Naruto nodded. "Jiji, for me, sixth months ago I took the mantle as the seventh Hokage, I know everything about the village. Even the truth about the Uchiha incident, the Kyuubi attack, Orochimaru, Danzo, Madara and even more shit that's going to happen in the future." Naruto said.
Hiruzen looked at him with wide eyes. "Naruto, this is very hard to believe, but there are things you are saying that must be the truth or else the security in our village would be less than I hoped." Hiruzen said and found his pipe, lighting it and taking a deep drag.
"Jiji, I need to pass, I must watch over Uchiha Sasuke." Naruto said. Hiruzen raised an eyebrow. "And why is that?" He asked. Naruto frowned at him.
"Sasuke his thirsty for revenge, he will not stop before he gets it, I think. I have the power to stop him any time and at any place. I want to save Itachi too, because shit is going to happen the next five years that no one will like and the best place to start fixing is that broody twelve year old arrogant asshole we call Sasuke." Naruto said.
Hiruzen chuckled, but his expression soon hardened. "You say many things are going to happen, should I know?" Naruto's eyes widened this time.
"Wait, you accept it just like that?" He asked. Hiruzen huffed. "Naruto, I have lived through wars, seen your father raise form a shy genin to one of the greatest Hokage ever been, I have seen countless of wierd jutsu and techniques, you have one of the greatest demons inside your gut, time travel doesn't really seem quite impossible." He said.
Naruto grinned. "Thanks jiji, but hey, can I just borrow the scroll and kick Mizuki's ass back here, I need reasons to know about the kyuubi and kage bunshin." Naruto said. Hiruzen shook his head. "What? Why not?" Naruto asked.
"First, your reason can be me, I owe it to you as for how I have failed you during your childhood and about your heritage, if you hadn't already known, you would have found out about the kyuubi today, which I personally think is far to early. If someone asks, you have trained with me and talked with me. second, you can go kick Mizuki's ass anyway, I hope you know how to sense and find?" Hiruzen asked.
Naruto grinned. "I can much more than sense, but I really think it won't be necesarry. By the way, you should call Jiraiya. I need the toad summoning contract and there is the entire rasengan ordeal." Naruto said as he teleported out of the office.
"Minato, I hope you're watching your son. He truly is great." Hiruzen smiled.
...
Naruto went to one of the highest places in the middle of Konoha, he sat down and gathered the natural energy flowing through everything and everyone. He entered sage mode after getting that perfect balance you need unless you want to turn into a frog or have no effect.
Naruto found Mizuki heading to the cabin he talked about earlier and sped after him. On the way he created a clone to use henge* and transform into the forbidden scroll, after all, he had to lure Mizuki in.
It took him a good ten minutes to reach the cabin from his previous position, his ears a little cold from the night wind. Naruto looked around before Mizuki made his entrance. "Naruto, good. You're here, now hand over the scroll." Naruto stood up, smiling.
"Did I pass sensei?" He asked as he delievered the clone to Mizuki. The white haired man started to laugh. "Like a demon could ever become a ninja." Mizuki sneered. "It's better if you just die right here." Mizuki unsheated one of his fuuma shuriken*.
Naruto rolled his eyes. "Oh, you mean your lack of wits actually can't see the difference between the scroll and the kunai." Naruto said.
"Shut up, demon!" Mizuki shouted before a wicked smile grew on his face. "You know why the villagers hate you Naruto? Because twelve years ago the Fourth sealed the nine tailed fox into a boy, making him the demon incarnate. You are that boy, you are the kyuubi!" Mizuki said.
Naruto snorted. "Yeah, I'm a jinchuuriki, but no demon. You, on the other hand, is a traitor. Trying to steal the scroll. Good thing the Third is always watching. I'm bringing you in." Naruto said. He ran towards the teacher before Mizuki could react. Naruto kicked a hard uppercut up Mizuki's chin and continued with some hard jabs to the chest and stomach.
"Kage bunshin no jutsu!" Naruto shouted and ten clones formed around him. They went into a flurry of kicks and punches, working as a well oiled war machine. Naruto formed a rasengan in his hand, much bigger than what he could when he was this age before, after all, with so much chakra he had to use more to gain the same level of control.
"Rasengan!" Naruto shouted as he slammed the sphere into Mizuki, the teacher getting knocked out immediatly. Naruto sighed. "I didn't even get tired." He said as he picked up Mizuki's body and teleported back to the Hokage's office.
...
"Jiji." Naruto said as he arrived in the office. Hiruzen looked at him with wide eyes. "You're done?" He asked. Naruto scoffed. "Like you didn't watch in that crystal of yours." He said. Hiruzen smiled. "I'm still surprised. I'll call for the IT, I want you to have something." The third said as he found four scrolls.
"These scrolls are your heritage, I wanted to give them to you when you either came of age or became a trusty chuunin, but since you are far above eighteen mentally, I can make an exception. The first scroll is the money that belonged to your father and mother. Minato was hokage, so there's quite the deal in there when you add Kushina's savings. This scroll is the contract for the Namikaze mansion, where your parents lived. This one is all their belongings, like pictures, books, clothings. The last one here, is your father's notes and studies. I want you to take good care of all of them." Naruto nodded at the old man as he accepted the scrolls.
"There is also this," Hiruzen picked up a headband with a blue cloth. "Congratulations on graduating, Nanadaime." Hiruzen teased. "Though, for me you are a genin. I want you to go through the ranks like a usual ninja. You might have been hokage in your time, but you are not now. That is how it stays until you are officially coronated again." Hiruzen continued.
"Uhm, jiji. Thank you so much, but I really hope you put me with Sasuke so I can watch him." Hiruzen nodded. "Yes, is there anything more?" Naruto looked down for a second. "Haruno Sakura and Hatake Kakashi. They were my team back in the days, Team 7, I want that team back. I know how to improve and work with them. Kakashi was also my father's student, so I guess he might want to spend a little time with me, hopefully." Naruto chuckled.
Hiruzen nodded. "I thought about putting you and Sasuke with him anyway, Sakura will probably be a good addition if you recommend her. Go and sleep now Naruto, tomorrow you have to meet up here four o'clock to take your ninja ID picture. The team elections are the day after that, so be well rested. Goodnight."
"Goodnight, jiji." Naruto smiled as he flashed back to his apartment again.
