The Introspection Of A Ninja

Chapter 1: A change of heart

It was always his dream to become Hokage, too bad his perspective of the ninja world had change. Obito's words were actually making sense. Madara's words were actually making sense. All in all he had mixed feelings, of course it confused him. His feelings had wavered. There was no absolute reward if they had won the war. Peace was never an option to begin with. He was so confused, that he dropped to his knees and screamed in frustration. "Naruto what's wrong?" Kurama spoke to his jinchuriki in his most calmed voice.

"I-i don't know anymore, Kurama..." Naruto spoke softly and then he started chuckling, louder and louder until it turned out to a deep laughter. He laughed so hard that he coughed out a bit of blood, and stared at the crowd in defiance. "Fools! The lot of you are!" Naruto said as he shook his head and slowly sat down on the ground. The war momentarily froze. All of them stared at Naruto in confusion and utter silence. "Naruto what do you think you are doing!" Kakashi yelled while punching a zetsu to the ground. "I finally realized it Kakashi-sensei, my purpose, my prophecy!" Naruto exclaimed as he rubbed his tired eyes and slowly he stood. He activated his sage mode and in a blink of an eye he was beside Obito and Madara.

"A surprise attack? Foolish boy, don't you know that I could sense you from a mile away." Madara said as he was already in a battle stance. Naruto shook his head and smirked at him, the two uchihas stood bewildered. "I don't want to attack you. The both of you. I want to, well join you perhaps." Naruto said as he de-activated his sage mode and held out his hands as a sign of peace. "And how do we know that this is not some sort of trap?" Obito spat in with hatred. Naruto then looked back at the crowd and a scream was heard, it was Sakura who got hit with a rasengan by one of Naruto's clones. "Sakura! Naruto what the hell do you think you're doing!" Kakashi said as he began to run towards Sakura's injured body, until he was surrounded by Naruto's clones. They all looked different, what was once Naruto's crystal blue eyes, turned into pure red, to full hatred.

"I found my purpose 'ttebayo." One of the Naruto clones said with a small smile. And they all began forming rasengans, Kakashi gulped he was surrounded and there was no opening, he could use a substitution technique but he knew Naruto was faster than that. "Goodbye sensei." All of the clones said. Until all of them poofed. It was Sasuke, who used his chidori stream. "Dobe, what are you doing?!" Sasuke said as he ran towards the real Naruto, pushing through the zetsus, "Ending the war, Sasuke." Naruto said with deep hatred in his voice.

Madara clasped his hands on Naruto's shoulder, "Well done boy, have you finally understand our plan?" Madara asked him and looked at him straight in the eye. "I have." Naruto nodded at Madara and then at Obito. Suddenly Sasuke appeared beside Naruto, with chidori in hand and pierced Naruto in the heart. "Sorry Naruto, but we can't let you do this." Was all he heard before falling sideways and submerging to the darkness around him. "Have you gone insane, Naruto?!" Kurama spoke with anger in his tone. Naruto blinked twice and coughed up blood. He was in his mindscape. "Kurama, I thought I was dead?" Was the first words the jinchuriki had to say. He then stood up and saw the fox sitting beside him and glaring at him. "Tsk. You were supposed to be, until I performed a forbidden jutsu to prevent that." Kurama said and huffed in annoyance, seriously the things he did for his container. And just like that it was like the old Naruto was back, as he smiled at the fox and scratched his cheek. But Kurama knew that the old Naruto was buried in all that hatred now.

"What did you do Kurama?" Naruto asked as Naruto went back to sitting down and meditating, "Something that I shouldn't have done, Time travel." Naruto opened his eyes in shocked but smirked afterwards. "You did good kurama!" In turn the fox went back to sleep, 'Naruto, I don't know what you're turning into.' Kurama growled in his sleep. And Naruto decided to meditate for the time being.

As soon as he woke, Naruto was still in his mindscape. "How long does this usually take, Kurama? I'm hungry 'ttebayo." He said as he stretched out his arms and yawned. Kurama shooked his head "I myself do not know brat, I have only done this now. I never would thought to use this on a human..." Naruto laughed but it was his normal one. "You're saying the great kyuubi doesn't even know what's happening, am I right?" Naruto burst out laughing again and Kurama grumbled he forgot how annoying this brat was. "At least tell me how it works Kurama." Naruto said while rolling around the water. "Tsk. We go back as far as our chakra reserves had. And we were quite running low, so we might return on your first day as a genin." Naruto grinned, he could restart everything he wanted it to be. This was great!

When he woke up, it wasn't his mindscape anymore, but it was his old apartment. He pinched himself and sensed the chakra around him, looks like he was back for real. He got out of the bed and stared at the full body mirror, looks like he was back as a genin again. He checked the calendar. 'Looks like you were right, Kurama. We're back to square one." Naruto said with a sigh, but he was determined, so instead of eating he went to train, and for the past hour he had mastered walking on trees again, and walking on water too. He was doing well for his progress today. He was going to change the world.
