A/N: Hi guys! So this is my first attempt at a time-travel fic. I hope you like this story! I'm having to go through and study the timeline a little more thoroughly so it may take me a little longer to get updates up! It's been a while since I watched all of the episodes so I'm having to refresh myself a little bit here. If I have any plot holes I will gladly accept constructive criticism about it and will work to adjust wherever I need to. So please, leave reviews and let me know what you think!

I own nothing recognizable unfortunately.

Everything was over. All of his friends were either dead or dying, he himself was dangerously close to giving in to the darkness. He heard a gurgling, hitched breath in next to him and slid his eyes toward the dark-haired shinobi he considered a brother. Sasuke Uchiha, rival turned friend turned enemy turned brother. He couldn't believe out of all of his friends, they were the only ones still alive. Sakura died months before, slaughtered right in front of the blonde's eyes. He winced at the memories, hating he was thinking about that as his life was coming to an end.

He let out a sigh which turned into a watery, bloody cough before ending in a sharp wheeze. His lungs were punctured, one was definitely collapsed and he couldn't even count the number of broken bones in his body. One look over Sasuke's broken body and he knew neither one of them would be making it out of this alive. The war was won but no one would be around to celebrate the victory. What kind of cruel twist of fate was that? Peace reigned over their world for so long and then suddenly, it was gone. Naruto watched his wife and his children murdered, watched as every single one of his friends was struck down, and he was helpless to do anything.

Naruto, I know a way to fix this. But it's going to take a lot out of me. Do you trust me? Kurama's voice was strong in his mind. While his host's body was dying he still had all of his power. Of course, the moment Naruto died Kurama would also cease to exist but until then, he was just as powerful as ever.

Of course I trust you partner. I didn't think that was a question.

A soft, appreciative hum vibrated through his mind before he felt Kurama's chakra beginning to grow, If you want to bring Sasuke with us you better hold onto him.

Naruto didn't question the nine-tailed fox, he simply reached over a shaky hand and dropped it on Sasuke's abdomen. The Uchiha moved a fraction of an inch but other than that didn't acknowledge the hand suddenly on his stomach. Neither one had much strength left as it was.

Brace yourself, this may be uncomfortable. But if this works, you can fix everything.

And then everything was lost to him in blinding white light.
