Naruto has traveled to the past after the end of the fourth Shinobi war. But traveling back had some unforeseen consequences. He is no longer Naruto, Naruto's and Rikudo Sennin souls have become one changing his DNA so he is no longer the child of Minato and Kushina nor is he the Rikudo Sennin he is an entirely new being with powers greater than either. The Jubi that once resided in him has again been separated into the nine Biju.

Screaming cries of pain, Naruto opened his eyes, to see he was just outside Konoha and the Kyubi was attacking the village. He created a few clones that sat still as he rushed towards Konoha to deal with Kurama himself. Upon his arrival he saw the Yondaime vanish along with the Kyubi.

"This Chakra," the Kyubi said Minato turned with his head to see a man approaching, his face hidden in by a mask different than the other masked man it was an ANBU Kitsune mask, but Minato wasn't aware of any ANBU who wore a Kitsune mask.

"This is no battle for a Kage; go home to your child and wife…I will deal with my old friend," Naruto said calmly. The Kyubi readied to fire a bujidama, but before he could toril appeared trapping the raging beast, "Kurama, it is rude to interrupt someone when they are talking."

"It is you," Kurama said his eyes widened.

"Who are you?" Minato asked frowning slightly.

"All will be revealed in time," Naruto said as he releasing his Jutsu free Kurama, "Kurama forgive me for this," he said reaching his fist out Kurama just watched the man for a moment and then Kurama gave him a fist bump.

"So the time has finally come, old man," Kurama said as Naruto opened the seal on his stomach and massive chains shout out binding the giant kitsune and pulled Kurama inside before the seal closing again.

"Before I leave I will give you a parting gift," Naruto said, as his clones dispelled and he felt the Natural energy flowing thru him, 'Gedo: Rinne Tensei no Jutsu,' a giant demonic looking head appeared and green energy was released from the head. All the Sage chakra vanished from him. "All those who have been lost on this night have been returned to you." Minato watched as the man before him vanished just as the masked man did.

Back at the village they all watched as the Kyubi vanished, "Hokage-Sama did it he defeated the Kyubi," a Shinobi said happily but the heaviness of the situation dawned on all the citizens, all the death and destruction left in its wake. There was a green light illuminating the sky, over the next few minutes the strangest thing started to happen, all the fallen started to come back from the dead.

Minato found his wife looking much better than she had when he left her, their daughter was sleeping peacefully.

"Minato what happened?" Kushina asked sitting up looking at her husband.

"There was a man I have never seen before; he spoke to the Kyubi calling him a name… Kurama. And the Kyubi knew him from somewhere," Minato said.

"How is that possible he has been sealed away since Mito-Sama," Kushina said in shock.

"I know…" Minato said but then he heard knocking at the door and Sarutobi entered the small cabin.

"How did you do it? All the people who died are coming back to life," Sarutobi asked watching Minato.

"That is what he did…but how the Edo Tensei or another Jutsu?" Minato said more to himself.

"He… who is he?" Sarutobi asked.

"No idea…he didn't say his name, the only hint we have to his identity is that the Kyubi knew who he was," Minato answered, "He was skilled in Fuinjutsu, Jikukan Ninjutsu."

"He was also skilled in Iryo Ninjutsu, he managed to prevent me from dying even after have hand the Kyubi removed," Kushina added.

"You said he was skilled in Fuinjutsu…what did he do with Fuinjutsu?" Sarutobi asked.

"He sealed the Kyubi within himself…but the Kyubi didn't even try to resist," Minato answered.

Outside of Konohagakure Naruto started to walk from the village a pain coursed thru his body, ever step he took was harder than the last. He fell to the ground panting hard, he whipped the blood running from his mouth, "I guess this is it…" he said chuckling softly, "it's a shame I wanted to see if I could fix this world."

Sixteen years later a very beautiful girl was making thru Hi no Kuni with her Sensei, she had deep red hair her eyes were bright blue she had three whisker marks on her cheeks, she wore an orange and black vest, a black tank top that showed off her well toned stomach, she had black detected sleeves with orange forearm protectors, fingerless gloves. She had orange short shorts, and her sandals were black, the cloth on her Hitai-ate was black also.

"Ero-Sennin, how much do you think Konoha has changed?" The girl asked softly it has been three years since the last time she laid eyes on her home.

"Probably not as much as you," he said glancing at her thru the corner of his eye; he remembered her when they left, she was a tomboy in every sense of the word. She wore a load orange and blue jumpsuit and if it was possible she was even loader than her jumpsuit…thou she was still load but she had calmed down a bit. She has grown mentally and physically, she was going to be a little heart breaker when they returned.

"Ero-Sennin do you know no shame checking out your own Goddaughter," she said smirking.

"I was not checking you out, Gaki!" Jiraiya shouted, "Kids have no respect now days," he muttered to himself but Naruko just smiled. It didn't take long before the gates came into sight, a large grin crossed her face as she looked at the village she couldn't wait to see her friends again and see how strong they had all become during their time apart.

"I know that you want to visit your friends but first I think we should go pay your father a visit…or he ban my book," he said more to himself.

"Fine Ero-Sennin I will do this for you…but you have to treat me to ramen," she said grinning evilly, his eye twitched.

"Forget it I have been taking care of you for the last three years," Jiraiya snapped.

"Fine then I will just have to tell dad that the only time you watched me was when I was in the bath," she said devilishly.

"I never…"

"But even if he believes you if my mom hears that what do you think will happen," she asked innocently.

"You are evil," Jiraiya said in a deadpan tone.

"Thank you," was her only reply.

"It wasn't a complement," Jiraiya said putting his face in the palm of his hand, "fine you win…I give up…I will treat you to ramen, after we see your dad."

"Ok," she said happily. The sun was barely up as they made their way thru the village the shop just starting to open.

"Daddy" Naruko shouted happily as she climbed thru the window hugging her dad tightly.

"Wow, who is this young lady before me?" Minato said jokingly.

"It's me Naruko," she said looking up.

"No you can't be my little girl she was only this tall last time I saw her," he said putting his hand up to his waist, "and…where are your clothes?"

"I am wearing clothes," she said giggling.

"Not enough," he said looking up at Jiraiya.

"Hey don't look at me she picked the outfit out," Jiraiya said putting his hands up in the air.

"Ero-Sennin, don't be ashamed you said I would be a total babe in this," Naruko said innocently.

"I said no such thing!" Jiraiya shouted, Naruko just giggled. Minato just smiled, he was happy to see his daughter again she had grown so much over the last three years.

"Naruko-Chan why don't you go home and say hi to your mother," Minato said patting her on the head.

"Hai, I will see you later," she said heading out of the office.

Mean while the rookie nine minus Sasuke and Naruko were making their way thru the village, "when do you think Naruko-Chan will return?" Hinata asked softly.

"Naruko…the only girl flatter than Sakura," Kiba said smirking as he glanced over at Sakura and he barley dodged her monstrous punch, "I was kidding you're not flat…you have a very nice chest."

"Why are you looking at my chest, you…Ero-mutt?" she asked cracking her knuckles.

"Troublesome," Shikamaru said under his breath, "did you have a crush on Naruko?"

"No…I thought she was cute…like an annoying little sister," Kiba said a little too quickly.

"That explains why she beat you so easily during the Chunin exam," Ino teased, "all she had to do was bat her eyelashes and she had you beat."

Kiba's face turned bright red, "that isn't true…she just caught me off guard, if we were to have a rematch I would beat the hell out of the flat chest…"

"Who is this flat chest that caught you off guard, Kiba?" they all turned around to see a Red headed girl standing behind them.

"Guys, who is this…I have seen her around before," Kiba said.

"Very funny dog breath," she said crossing her arms only amplify what already there in an abundance.

"Naruko is that you?" Choji asked.

"Who else would it be?"

"You have changed…a lot," Kiba said his eyes falling from her face, his face turning bright red.

"Kiba is something wrong?"

"Naruko, I see you've got a new look," Sakura said feeling a little jealous of Naruko.

"Hai, I thought it was time," Naruko said smiling.

"Naruko, how about lunch," Choji asked timidly, "we can go to Yakiniku Q, if you want."

"Hai, I just have to go home really quick to say hi to my mom," Naruko said smiling.

"Why don't we all go and catch up," Kiba said.

"That sounds fun, I will meet you guys in about an hour," she said smiling then off she went. Choji face fell slightly.

"You need to tell her before someone else says something to her," Shikamaru said to Choji in a tone that only he could hear.

"I guess…" Choji said unsure of himself.

Back at Minato's office, "how did her training go?"

"Better than I expected, a year after we left for our training she started to change she stopped bugging me to train her and she would run off before I would wake up in the morning and not return until after she thought I was asleep, sometimes she would return for a dew days," Jiraiya said, "I thought that she had been wasting time, so I challenged her to a spar and someone had been teaching her elemental Jutsu."

"Did you ever find out who it was training her?" Minato asked and the color from Jiraiya's face drained out and he slowly nodded.

"I think he was also the reason…well…for her change in attire," Jiraiya said nervously.

"So who is this guy?" Minato asked.

"I don't know but, but according to Naruko he wasn't a Shinobi."

"Do you know his name?" Jiraiya just shook his head.

"But there is something that I didn't have the heart to tell Naruko…"

About an hour later the rookies started to make their way to the restaurant, Choji was the first to arrive, then Ino and Sakura followed by Hinata, Shino and Kiba, the last to arrive was Shikamaru accompanied by Temari.

"Hi guys," Naruko said happily as she took a seat between Kiba and Choji, both boys stiffened slightly, but Naruko didn't notice.

"So tell us everything about your trip, did you meet any guys?" Ino asked smirking devilishly, Naruko's face turned bright red.

"It looks like you did, who is he?" Sakura asked smirking. Kiba and Choji frowned slightly.

Flash back

A fourteen year old Naruko had stormed off leaving Jiraiya at the inn alone, she was tired of him snubbing her training, she wondered into to the forest. She was wearing her usual orange and blue jumpsuit, she muttered under her breath, "Baka…Ero-Sennin," she repeated it over and over again kicking a tree. She kicked the tree as hard as she could and someone fell on top of her from the tree and the she opened her eyes looking back at her where these bright blue eyes brighter than blue has seen before.

"I am sorry," he said sitting up, his hair was golden brighter than the sun, his smile so warm and inviting, his cheeks had the same whisker marks that she did but they where thicker than hers his pupils where slits, he had light sliver rings in his eyes. There was something about him that seemed to be unreal, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine get off me!" she said pushing him off her.

"Calm down Red," the man said, she glared at him getting a good look at him and he looked to be around her age.

"Don't call me Red!" Naruko shouted.

"Calm down Red, I would want you going and attacking a poor innocent tree," he said innocently, this just pissed her off even more.

"How about I beat the hell out of you," she said dangerously.

"I might be frightened if I was a tree," he said smiling and that was it he just dodged a punch aimed at his head and he started running. He turned around but she was gone.

"Looking for me," he turned just in time to dodge a kick to his head.

"Come on Red, let's calm down before someone gets hurt," he said putting his hands up smiling sheepishly.

"The only one who is going to get hurt is you," she said menacingly. She aimed another punch at him but he dodged it, and at the same time he aimed a kick at her that she managed to block but it was a lot stronger than she thought it was going to be. It was enough to knock her off balance as he regained his.

"Wow, that punch looks like it would have hurt if it would have landed," he said rubbing the back of his head. She attacked him again for thirty minutes she attacked him none stop until she collapsed.

"Feel better," he asked smiling at her kindly.

"What are you talking about," Naruko asked frowning, and then she realized what he had done.

"What's your name Red?" he asked sitting next to her, she frowned slightly before answering.

"Naruko," she said simply glancing over at him.

"Konoha no Naruko," he said smiling.

"How did you know I was from Konoha?" she asked jumping to her feet glaring at him, "are you stalking me?"

"Your Hitai-ate, Naruko-Chan," he said pointing to her head forehead, she blushing in embarrassment, "you can call me Kurama."

"What were you doing in that tree?" Naruko asked sitting down beside him.

"That is where the road of life led me here," he said laying down looking up at the sky thru the trees.

"Are you a Shinobi Kurama?" she asked wondering why he didn't look tired after sparring with her for half an hour.

"No, but I do know a thing or two," he said smiling brightly.

"Would you mind being my sparring partner once in a while…if you are not too busy…I mean you put up a little better fight than a tree," she said looking away her face a little flush.

"I don't see the problem in that," he said beaming.

Over the next few days she met up with Kurama in the same spot that she had on the first day, "Naruko-Chan you are early today," Kurama said sitting in the tree the sun hadn't even come up yet.

"You're here early too," she pointed out, he jumped down from the tree landing in front of her his hand out stretched.

"Come with me there is something I would like to show you," he said smiling warmly, he hesitated for a second but she took his hand. He led her deeper into the forest, until they reached a small wooden cabin.

"Isn't it a little early to introduce me to your family?" she asked jokingly.

"I don't have one so you don't have to worry about that," he said still smiling warmly.

"I am sorry…I didn't…"

"Don't worry about it," he said pushing the door open and all over the place there were books and scrolls then she noticed sitting on the mantel over the fire place was a sword the blade had what looked like a Kitsune, the hilt was orange and black.

"You can have it if you want it, I don't like using swords that much," Kurama said kindly.

"I couldn't…I don't even know how to use it," Naruko said her eyes never leaving the weapon.

"I will teach you and I have some scrolls that you can have as well," Kurama said she turned to look at him he was smiling standing there looking as unreal as the first time that she had seen him, there was something about him he seemed to good to be real.

End flash back

"Do you have the sword?" Shikamaru asked.

"Not with me…it's at home," Naruko answered.

"How long did you spend with this guy on the trip?" Choji asked trying to sound nonchalant but a few people around the table noticed and smirked, but Naruko was not one of them who noticed.

"About a month, but he said that he would come to Konoha one day so you guys will get to meet him but something just didn't seem right she looked a little down hearted but she quickly returned to normal.

"What happened to him?" Shikamaru said watching her.

"What makes you think that anything happened to him," Naruko said a little too quickly, "thanks for lunch I am going to get home I am tired after all the traveling."

"Something happened but what," Ino asked.

When Naruko arrived back at home she went straight to her room, she went to her bag and pulled out the sword, it was really beautiful the workmanship on it was top-notch, she replaced it in its sheath then placed it on her dresser before crawling into bed closing her eyes.

Flash back

She was making her way back to town where she and Jiraiya were staying after a long day of training. She stopped when she found her way blocked by eight Iwa Shinobi. They all turned to face her, a smile crossing one of their lips.

"Guys you know who this looks like?" he asked his fellow Shinobi, "She looks like the Yondaime's daughter."

"She does," another one said smiling, "what should we do with her?"

"What better way to get revenge on Konoha no Kiiroi Senko, then to kill his daughter and send him her severed head," the first man asked to his team. She glared at them reaching for the sword that Kurama had given her. One launched a kunai at her but she was able to block it with the sword, but she felt a fist crash into the side of her face she was knocked down as a second stood over her about to hit her again, but she managed to dodge it. She fought the best she could being out numbered, she was getting tired and all she could do was defend herself.

"Where is your honor as Shinobi," she turned to see Kurama standing there, she had never been happier to see him but she didn't want him here she didn't want him to get hurt.

"Naruko get out of here," he said coolly for the first time she noticed that he was holding a staff.

"I won't leave you here alone," she said, "you can't even beat me when we spar there is no way you can beat them."

"Maybe one day the road of life will allow your paths to cross again," he said smiling warmly at her there was a twinkle in his eye that she had seen so many times before. She ran as fast as she could back to the town back to Jiraiya to tell him to send him to help Kurama.

"Ero-Sennin, my friend needs your help he is fight eight Iwa Shinobi alone…and…they will kill him if we don't hurry!" she shout on the verge of tears.

"Stay here," Jiraiya ordered and he was gone.
