Hello guys, Tsuyoru Tatsuya here. Had to find a way to pay back the few readers I have for the extremely late updates on my other stories, so here is my first Naruto fanfic. I have no excuses for the update rate on my stories, but currently I am in class 12, so I wont be able to write much, so the updates will remain slow for this academic year(2018-19). The update rate will increase from next year, and I guess I should be able to complete one or two of my stories by the next to next year.

Naruto is basically badass and extremely overpowered. There is a single concept I have borrowed from 'Bleach', the zanpakuto. In here a few swords will have spirits, other than that that it's completely different from a Zanpakuto.

Pairing:

Future Naruto/Mei/Kushina/Pakura

Past Naruto/Hinata/Ino/fem. Haku/Temari/Kin/Tayuya/Anko/Yakumo/ Kurama(fem.kyuubi)/Samui/Shion(priestess)/Yugito/ Nibi/Koyuki Kazahana/ a few O.C.'s

Gaara/Matsuri(too cute to resist)

Shino/Fuu(female bugs release a pheromone which attracts their male counterparts)

Shikamaru/O.C.(too troublesome to explain)

Lee/Karin(one with next to no chakra, other from a clan known for their massive chakra reserves)

Itachi/Ayame/Shizune(Uchiha C.R.A.)

Choji/karui(canon)

Kiba/O.C.

Konohamaru/Hanabi(too cut to resist)

Sasuke/Chidori(he seriously uses the move a bit too much, and I really don't like him(as proved in previous chapters) and therefore no 'real' pairings for him, Sasuke/Sakura would still be there but in a way not many would expect)

If you want more girls to be added, just P.M. me, along with the why should I add them message.

Rating will increase with time as story gets more bloody, and then the lemons will follow making it M rated.

Ruto Uzumaki:Once more

Prologue:

There was nothing around him. No lights, no space. Absolutely nothing.

All he could feel was immense pain. Pain and sadness. For what, he did not know. He felt empty, like his existence lost all of it's purpose. Hell, he didn't even know if he was existing at all. Did he have a name? Everything blurred together as he floated through a world of nothingness, a void where the concept of time did not exist, but yet feeling like he spent more time here than he should have.

He knew that he lived once, that he used to have a purpose, that once he was important for someone. He knew that the loneliness he was feeling wasn't always there.

Thoughts of that person were the only thing keeping him conscious. Who was he? Where was he? What happened to him? Was he a man or a woman? He tried to remember but everytime it seemed that he was starting to remember something, the void just sucked it in. He wasn't even sure that this person had ever even lived. Maybe this was another illusion. Another Genjutsu from the accursed Sharingan.

But what was a Sharingan? Or what was a Genjutsu for that matter? Could it be that his memory was returning?

What was he thinking about? Oh right, the damn pain.

There was nothing around him. No lights, no space. Absolutely nothing...

This was the only thing he could think of, over and over again. But maybe this was just another illusion? Perhaps he was just waiting for death, but he couldn't move on? Could it be that this feeling he was felt, that it was worth to wait, that something would come up soon, was nothing more than just that, a feeling? Could it be that he was just wasting time? Maybe he should go on… maybe he lost his purpose after all...

He wanted to give up. He just wanted to die. All he ever wanted was to let go of this miserable existence. He was desperate, waiting for something to happen, for that precious someone to save him. But he couldn't. The void sucked in all his motor capabilities. It was like he was frozen inside a giant block of cement. But what was cement?

Oh forget it. Let's just focus on the pain. The immense pain, as if there were acids dissolving his body, but it was reforming at an even faster rate. It was a never-ending cycle.

Oh how he wished he could just die like a normal person. But he knew that he was already dead. He was inside the Shinigami's stomach after all.

Little did he know, that the change he always hoped for was about to happen soon. Something was about to change, and he was about to be in the middle of that, the center of that change, like he had always been.

As he continued to float through his personal hell, he stared to feel again. He felt his body, his hands, and not just his mind and his thoughts. At first the feeling was numb, and he thought his mind was playing with him, and he'd lost his sanity for good. But it got more intense, and he could move his fingers soon. His fingers, his hands and feet! Not just a thought about them, but the actual thing. He felt like he could explode with joy, and his hopes rose, maybe he could escape soon.

As he started to move his body, and feel every muscle running beneath a smooth layer of skin, with still open wounds decorating his arms and torso, some bigger that others, he also felt them healing even as he was looking at them.

He yet was blind to what was happening around him, so he couldn't see the light that crept trough the darkness and chased it away slowly. With the light came the warmth. The warmth of having a loved one in your arms. The warmth one got knowing that they were safe. And after what he had been through, it felt like heaven. Little did he know how true that was.

Struggling to breath, he opened his senses to these new experiences. He felt the energy that floated around him, and protected him from the dark which kept on receding from the light. 'Chakra' He instinctively knew what it was.

It felt like there was someone else as well… no not just one person, or thing. There were more… He couldn't exactly point out how many it were, but confusion started to rise when he felt where those presences came from.

Deep inside, within the deepest and darkest parts of his soul. There were beings living inside of him. From the way these energies felt they weren't evil, because they pretty much felt the same way he felt at this very moment. Empty, Confused and in a lot of pain.

Wondering what was about to happen he welcomed the beings inside of him. It was like turning on a switch, but you didn't know it was there. All of sudden he felt a deep connection with these beings, they understood every of his thoughts and feelings, they were his best friends, his only friends now.

With the acceptance of his new, or maybe they are old, friends, the energy floating around him started to get more intense, and it rose continuous, reaching higher and higher levels. Even though he didn't feel any other energy to compare with, he knew that this was strong, and incredibly so! This energy felt calm and steady, but even sadness and frustration were mixed into that. Another thing was that dark taint it had. Even in a state of complete silence and ease it felt so dangerous, like it could kill you with an instant.

He was so fascinated by this, that he continued to study it, happy for the feeling he got, and enjoying the warmth, because he didn't know how long it would last, and when the darkness came back to torture him again with its emptiness and cold.

After a few minutes, he notice his surroundings. He was in some sort of a grand hall. Like the one used by kings to house a court.

And there were people here. Four to be exact. One was an extremely beautiful lady wearing a red kimono, with flower patterns woven with the finest silk, which did nothing to hide her regal figure. She had her black hair in a bun, with her doe shaped, black coloured eyes looking at him with compassion and sadness. She shone with a brilliance comparable to that of the sun. Then there was a person with purple skin and a sword on his waist. He wore necklace made of rosary beads along with a white kimono(1). He had an angry snarl on his face, like one of his precious treasures was lost, and as if he was being made to do something he did not want to do His very existence seemed to suck in the light around him. There was another woman with black hair, but she had white kimono which was red on inside. She also carried a golden sword. The last person present over there had something which looked like an odd combination between a hat and a crown which covered his hair, but he had an extremely long beard which reached from his head to around his waist. He wore a white kimono(God, what was with them and the colour white?) with a red Obi.

"Naruto Uzumaki" a voice said. He was so startled that he jumped at the sudden interruption to his observations. Looking around, he saw that no-one had moved their lips.

"You have been summoned here because the mortal world as well as the pure world are in danger of collapsing on themselves." It was now that he found out that the voice was speaking inside his head. "The balance of the living and dead souls has been destroyed due to Orochimaru's rampage."

Everything came rushing back to him at that name. Orochimaru, one of the three legendary sannin. The only sannin left alive. That bastard had worked out a deal with Sasuke and started to live in his body, just like kurama inside him, and then proceeded onto killing every person Naruto held dear to himself, meaning the whole of Konoha, along with his family, in front of him, and he couldn't do shit as he couldn't move because he had to use organic metal to regrow his arm after the Shodai's cells had started mutating and then Orochimaru had used Gogyo Fuin to cut him out of his chakra completely.

Fortunately, both of them had already sent their Yin/Yang chakra(whih beloged to Asura and Indra)to Rikudō Sennin. Who knows what that bastard might have done with that power.

Orochimaru had taken that time to attack him and place a paralysis seal upon him. When he was able to move again, he went strait to fight Orochimaru, but lost bitterly when suddenly he activated the Mangekyo Sharingan, which took a lot of chakra from his already low reserves due to making his new arm.

Tsunade, one of the dozen or so survivors, had died fighting Sakura after she tried to go to Sasuke, to be with him, already having forgiven him for killing their daughter, and tending to Naruto's injuries, due to chakra exhaustion and blood loss.

He had then used one of the forbidden seals of the Uzumaki clan, one which can slow down time to almost stop. Once activated, the Bijus(who had all come to him after they got to know what had happened) had kept it activated for two year, while he made 10 million clones to practice everything he knew, after which he kept it activated for another four months so that they could recover their chakra.

Man wasn't he grateful to have been practicing with the chakra chains, Mokuton(Advance releases are not Kekki Genkai, and he brought back the Shodaime with Edo Tensai to help out) and better chakra control so that he could do jutsu without handsigns which the Sharingan couldn't copy.

He practiced Kenjutsu, Fuinjutsu(both of which he was a natural at, he was an Uzumaki for god's sake), the new jutsu he made(knowingly and accidentally), mastering the 5 chakra nature along with Yoton and Inton(benefits of Rinnegan), made a new taijutsu style by mixing Lee's style, the Gentle fist of the Hyuuga, the Interceptor Fist of the Uchiha, and some other techniques into his own style, along with adapting it to work to it's maximum effect only when chakra of all 5 natures was pushed into the moves. He also practiced with sharingan, Mangekyo and Rinnegan, along with kinjutsus(though he had to use Edo Tensai on a sound nin to bring back Tobirama Senju to help with that).

Overall, within 2 days he had trained for over 20 million years. He got out of the alternate dimension created by the seal after 2 days, but it was already too late. All the five great hidden villages were no more. Only the Kage remained, who all joined for the fight against Orochimaru.

Even after all this prepration, they were barely able to beat him. After the Tsuchikage, Raikage, and Kazekage(Kiri was destroyed the same way pain turned konoha into a hole in the ground, nobody survived) used the last of their chakra to bind him in one place, after which he used the Shiki Fujin to seal him up.

He was brought out of his flashback by the booming voice in his head.

"Naruto Uzumaki, we have decided that you will go back to the past to save the world. You must stop Orochimaru before he takes over Sasuke Uchiha's body, or if he does, then you would have to kill him. We can't afford for past events to go on as they did.

You would be sent back in time, where you are still a child. Think carefully before you make any move, as it can have severe repercussions. The Shinigami will help you in your quest. In that regards, you would sign a summoning contract with the Shinigami.

Now tell us about the name you would choose in this new life and sign it in the contract." The Shinigami stepped forward with a contract in his hand, which he held out to him to sign.

'That's a lot to take in at once' He thought as he closed his eyes to be able to think it through.

He would be able to save his friends, Sasuke would not have to go to that pedophile snake bastard. Baa-Chan would not have to die. Jiji and Ero-Sennin would still be alive. He might even be able to save Haku and Zabuza. He may even provide them a home at konoha. Itachi wont have to live in isolation to protect his brother. Nagato and Konan would still be alive, and who knows what else. It was definately a nice thing, but would his heart be able to take it? The sight of his loved ones who didn't even know him. It sure was troublesome.

After some time, opened his eyes, ready for his life. After years of wondering he knew his name;

"Ruto Uzumaki"

He was back, and this time he would save everyone.
