The dream never ends
Chapter 1: new beginning.
A battle field reduced to a wasteland by the fourth great shinobi war. Corpses laid waste in the once great land of Hi no Kuni. Only 4 shinobi left alive, Uchiha Madara, yakushi Kabuto, killer B, and Namikaze Naruto. Two fight for a false peace, the latter fight for a true peace. Uchiha Madara and Yakushi Kabuto on a plateau top while killer B and Namikaze Naruto fight their fallen comrades brought back by the impure world resurrection. Through out the war they changed a lot in appearance and strength. Uchiha Madara now off with his mask looked as he did when he fought the shodaime of the leaf. Yakushi Kabuto now looked more like orochimaru…only more snake like. Killer B generally looked the same. Namikaze Naruto had changed the most. The cerulean eyes that once shone with happiness and ambition were now that of a dead man walking, no emotion whatsoever. he had on an outfit similar to his father only he had a pony tail similar to jiraya's with a black haori on with red and gold flames along the base. His whisker marks were more defined as this happened when he and kyubbi got on to good terms with each other, just like killer B and Hachibi, and his voice was deeper now as well almost like a king. As It now stands naruto and killer B were on the verge of chakra exhaustion. Before them stood the impure resurrected corpses of the rookie twelve (excluding naruto), tsunade, jiraya (Kabuto finally managed to bring him back from the bottom of the ocean near amegakure), and naruto's parents; kushina Uzumaki, and minato Namikaze. The whites of their eyes now black and their irises now gold.
Tsunade spoke and broke the silence before the storm "naruto, please give up. We don't want you to be in the same position as us. At this point a false peace is better than no peace." Naruto's dead eyes looked into hers "I can't do that tsunade. It is my duty as the rokudaime to ensure that the war is finished, even if I die the world comes first. I will not…" Madara cut him off. "Enough of this foolishness, finish him now." They did as they were told.
Tsunade lashed out with her titan strength. Naruto blocked with his own while a shadow clone came behind her and struck the back of her head. She recoiled, lee came in and used a devastating leaf hurricane attack* then tenten used her rising twin dragons and threw a barrage of weapons at them. Killer B went into his jinchuriki mode much to the shock of everyone their since naruto and Madara knew that if he used anymore of the bijuu's chakra he would die. He took the blow from the weapons and launched a tailed beast bomb at them causing severe damage. Killer B reverted back to normal, gave naruto a thumbs up and said "my times up, so its up to you brother nine." With that he passed, collapsed on to the ground like so many of his fallen comrades.
Naruto was stricken in the back of the head by a certain pink haired kunoichi. Kushina took this opportunity and struck out with her bloody whirlpool katana. Naruto barely dodged but fell into the hands of minato who hit naruto dead on with a rasengan into kushina's katana their last words to naruto before he died were "were so sorry son."
Both of the elemental countries strongest jinchuriki died on that day.
later: kami's relm
When light entered around naruto's soul he was in a palace, dark blue tile and roman columns making the scenery look as though he were in an Olympus temple. In front of him was a throne with a woman on it who had a white kimono with red and blue lacings, a purple sash and long dark hair. He was taken aback a little when he saw her but was able to control his emotion.
"there is no need to be scared young one. For I have envisioned your coming here and willed it to be so. I am kami young one." Kami addressed him. He knew he died so he did what anyone in the right mind would do if they were in front of such royalty. He bowed and apologized for his intrusion.
"stand and be recognized young Namikaze. I have a question for you and I would like you to answer honestly." He nodded "if given the chance, would you go back and fix the wrongs that happened after your entrance to the shinobi world." She inquired
He knew what she meant and she was talking about the days after his graduation of the ninja academy. He didn't need anymore than a second to answer. "Of course kami-sama. I would do anything to ensure a peaceful future for my world….excuse me; your world." Kami smiled
"very well I will send you back as I don't like it when someone finds a way to stay in that world more than they are welcome to. My mission to you, rokudaime hokage of the leaf or perhaps with luck, godaime hokage is as follows: live and when you depart for your three year journey. Defeat Madara, no, kill him; he needs to know not to mess with the boarders of life. You and kyubbi will be sent to team placement day for your year so try not to mess up and fail the mission, and as a helpful tip. Shadow clones can perform jutsu as well." She finished and a white light enveloped him. Kami disappeared as she had to get in touch with a perverted toad sage of that world.
Naruto's old apartment. Genin team selection day; 7:45
Naruto woke up in his old apartment wearing the same clothes he had in the war. He looked to his closet to see it had a sticky note on it. He got up and took a look at it
I filled your closet with the clothes you had after the war went to a more critical phase, don't worry about the summoning contract; I'm getting in contact with jiraya to tell him why your name suddenly appeared on the contract. F.y.i. you should restock on something better for you than ramen, I know you like the taste of it, but too much is a bad thing.
-kami
"so when I came back, my contract came with me. Heh heh" he smiled a sad smile remembering how his toad allies died against his predecessor.
He went to the academy via fire shun shin and when he suddenly appeared out of fire everyone just looked at him like he had two heads. Shikamaru who was in the back noted his eyes that were normally full of life, now seemed dead. "it seems he finally took off the mask….troublesome." hinata who heard him was starting to be concerned.
As soon as he sat next down all hell broke loose, at that moment ino and sakura came in.
"you know I won, billboard brow." Ino yelled
"as if, ino-pig. I won and that's that." Sakura screeched. Needless to say, naruto was not going to deal with this a second time.
"Yamanaka, Haruno! Calm yourselves, now! I am not going to put up with this today. So sit down and SHUT UP!" he said/shouted.
"what did you say naruto-baka!" she was about to continue her rant and then hit naruto on the head….key word is about. She suddenly felt a cold kunai against her throat. Her eyes widened, she was scared, and she felt an immense killer intent behind her.
She heard a voice whisper in her ear. "if this was a war, you'd be dead. Life isn't a test where you can always open a book and find an answer. There is only one reason why you came out as kunoichi of the year, and that's because the academy was mainly working on useless information in academics. Out of all of us you are by far the weakest. You have little to no genjutsu, only academy standard ninjutsu, and little to no taijutsu. You are a perfect example of a failed attempt at being a kunoichi." He removed the kunai and put it back in his holster. She fell to her knees on the verge of tears. "Would you like to know why I went after you like a lost puppy, when I could've easily went after hinata? It's because I wanted someone to have the same treatment I had so I could truly have a friend. You made the right decision by refusing me, you would've been called demon lover, fox slut, and much more as well as the every day beatings, being disowned, and It would only get worse on my birthday. Those are also reasons why I didn't go after hinata." He finished and went back to his seat. The dam broke and sakura was bawling her eyes out. Ino was next to her rubbing her back with sympathy.
"damn dobe, even I'm not that heartless." Sasuke said
"when one has been force to kill all he has cared for a hundred times over they change. When you have killed as much as I have, you'll understand" naruto said and went back to his seat
A few moments of listening to sakura later the door opened and Iruka walked in and helped sakura stand. "what happened, sakura?"
"she merely took the fall before the run. The truth hurts sensei. Its also the truth that will spark a drive to become stronger. I believe that this is also apart of the will of fire that lord third preaches about."
Iruka looked up and his eyes widened "lord yondaime?"
"no sensei, his son. But maybe I'll be godaime or rokudaime in a few years. By the way when you call my name for team selections, call me by Namikaze naruto." Naruto finished people were wide eyed at the realization. naruto was the fourths son
Team placement went normally. Same teams, same sensei. When Iruka left naruto walked up to hinata. "hinata. You and I are both shinobi now and can make our own decisions with out consequence, at least about who we see in a relationship, since civillians cant do anything to harm shinobi and such. Since genin have weekends off unless on a long term mission, what say we meet up on Saturday for some ramen, eh?"
Hinata was flustered as much as she could be; her long time crush just asked her out. As usual she fainted. Naruto just smiled a bit and scribbled down something on a piece of paper and put it in her pocket.
After that he flame shun shin'd to the hokage's office.
Hokage's office: 8:43
Hiruzen Sarutobi was many things. he was the god of shinobi, a patient hokage, grandfather, preacher of the will of fire. but one thing he was not was...a filing assistant. he had a stack of paper in the 'to do' box that seemed to get bigger every time he looked at it, while the 'finished' box was barely half full. he sighed a bit so as to get ready to take on his greatest enemy...until a burst of flame appeared in his office and out stepped...
"Minato!..." he asked with his eyes bugged out. the person in question simply chuckled
"do I really look like my old man that much? heh heh." Hiruzen went from suprised to stern as he now new who this was and asked how long he's known. "since I was four, mom filled me in after she came in and helped me with my jinchuriki training. me and fuzzball are on good terms now by the way." Hiruzen was scared to say the least, it wasnt everyday that your surogate grandson takes control of a giant nine tailed fox the size of two mountains.
after glancing at the 'to do' box naruto sighed. "you know kage bushin have more than one use right. why not try it on the paperwork. as to why i look so different now since your going to ask in a bit, the mask comes off today. who knows I might be the one to succed you after all." he finished with a quick smirk but it quickly went back to being serious. the old man just face palmed himself and went on a rant about the Kami no shinobi unable to find the weakness to a kages greatest enemy, but that ended soon and he went back to looking at naruto with a stern business stare.
"how exactly did kushina help you in your training if she was dead?" the sandaime asked
"well as one can guess from the fact kyubbi got out of his seal that something happened that caused pops to drop holding on to the seal keeping kyubbi at bay." hiruzen nodded "Tell me, have you ever heard the name 'Madara Uchiha'?" the man nodded again "well he mastered his sharingan ability to the point where he is eternaly in his prime, a kind of mix between Izanagi and Hirashin, at least thats what I can guess out of what Saw from the flashback mom produced for me. He captured me after I was just born and told pops in quote 'step away from the jinchuriki or your son dies at the rip old age of one minute'. pops was hesatent at first but used hirashin to take hold of me and catch me, at the last minute some exploding tags placed on the bundle I was wrapped in were about to go off so pops used hirashin to take me to a safe house. mom wasn't able to hold kyubbi and it was released, though she didn't die from it, a common known fact is that uzumaki have a tendency to live longer from harsh conditions than most other people. pops took on madara and was able to bypass his unnamed technique, and land a hit. he fled and thats when pops decided to use the shiki fuin and seal kyubbi in me but a bit of their souls were input to the seal, pops so if I ever lost control and was on the verge of releasing kyubbi he would appear and fix the seal, mom for if I ever tried to tame the kyubbi." the elder nodded.
"so I take it that your not going to hold back anymore?" he asked. naruto nodded "In all honesty I could've taken your position at the age of ten but chose to give you a few more years. one last thing jiji, choose a sucessor. I know you have a few more years on you, but you are my grandfather and I do worry about you." and with that naruto went out of the room via flame shun shin. "I'll have to test him myself then. I'd like to know what he is capable of. He may be genin by rank but I can tell by looking at him he will be a great leader." He turned to the Hokage stone faces, the fourth's in particular. "isnt that right, minato?" He said with a smile.
