Chapter 2… Kekeke…

If you're noting the somewhat… poor quality of my writing, it's probably because I'm just rushing through to the good stuff. XP

I might come back and rewrite it, but it's doubtful.

I DO have to warn that there's a bit of a spoiler for the canon series in here, though. (Can't bitch at me for sayin' it now, heheh)


"Ugh… what happened?" Anko murmured to herself, holding her head, obviously feeling the effects of her massive hangover.

"We fucked." Naruto answered obtrusively, catching her attention.

"And who the hell are you?" She asked, searching her nightstand for headache medication.

"Uzumaki Naruto. I'd ask you the same, but I'm pretty sure I know your name already." He answered almost venomously.

Anko looked over at him, still groggy from sleep. Naruto glared back at her until she started laughing. "Oh that's good… the snake bitch gets boned by the demon midget… a real hoot there!" She said, downing the painkillers with more sake. She looked back and saw his glare hadn't lessened. "I'll admit you're not quite the midget I thought you were, and I'll want to know why the hell that is later, but right now… are you even listening?"

Naruto was staring off at her ceiling, remembering more about the previous day. "Yes, I am. We'll talk about all this later, and I'll be happy to sort out any arrangement you want." The blonde scooted himself out of the bed, slipping on his boxers and pants, which he found on the floor. "…after my appointment with the Hokage."

Anko just glared at him, not even bothering to pull the sheets up with her as she started getting up herself. "What, you think I want payment like some common whore!?" She yelled.

"No, I'm saying, if you want a fuck you'll actually remember this time instead of getting plastered first, then I'd be happy to oblige." She sputtered at his words, looking at him interrogatively. "I mean, you said it yourself… I'm the 'demon brat' who'd wanna sleep with me?" He said sadly. "Anyway, like I said, I ditched the Hokage to go drinking yesterday, so I should get back to him before he has the ANBU track me down."

"Shit…" Anko muttered, looking at the clock. "I need to see him too… mission assignments."

"Ahh, well, maybe I'll see you there, then?" Naruto asked cheerfully, and at her nod, gathered the remainder of his clothing before heading for the door.

Naruto was the focus of everyone's attention as he made his way to the Hokage's tower. After all, demon or no, it was unheard of for someone to age a decade in a day. The blonde didn't bother explaining himself though, and simply made his way in silence before kicking open the door to the Hokage's office. He stood there for a moment, glaring over the small crowd of people. Apparently, they were sorting out the Jounin's missions for the day, and none other than Hatake Kakashi stood at the fore of them. Naruto inwardly groaned. This was going to take some explaining, alright… He'd remembered to leave a mass of clones in a training area on his way in, and one of the groups dispersed just then, causing him to stall for another instant, which just made him look stupid. Growling in annoyance, he walked through the gaggle of Jounin, leaning over the elderly man's desk and staring him in the eye. "Okay, old man… what do you want?"

"You're late, Naruto." Sarutobi said, and as if on cue, whispers and mutters began spreading through the crowd at the confirmation of the mysterious blonde's identity. "Why didn't you come in yesterday?"

"I went drinking. Needed to loosen up a bit… then I got caught up bedding one of your subordinates, who should be showing up in… three, two…" Naruto grumbled when nothing happened. "Damn that woman… Anyway,-" and then Anko burst through the doors, sweaty and panting. "You're four seconds late for me counting down your entry, dammit!"

Anko looked up at him in confusion before scoffing. "Damn brat needs to learn to shut up…"

Sarutobi cleared his throat, catching the attention of everyone in the room. "Now, Naruto… why do you look different?"

"Oh, well, about three years into my 'loops' I figured out that I'd probably overshoot my target time, like I did, so I had Tsunade teach me the Genjutsu she uses to look young, and we came up with a reverse for it. Thank Kami I've actually got the chakra control to use it. Although it doesn't really require too much control, but a lot of chakra, I mean hell, it's practically a Ninjutsu!" Naruto chuckled. "But I'm working on control right now… as you know, being the 'professor' and all, Kage Bunshin can be used to train chakra, since their memories and experiences become my own when they dispel themselves. I should be high Chuunin level by the end of the week." He added with a shrug. "So, why don't you ever use Kage Bunshin to do your paperwork?"

Sarutobi chuckled at that. "Well, since it's not technically me writing the papers, I would legally have to void anything they do. I learned that the hard way, and it took two years to catch up after I was caught half a year into my term."

"Ouch… that's rough." Naruto mumbled. "Anyway, I'm relearning all of the jutsu I learned from Jiraiya, including the Yondaime's. In a little while, I should have the chakra control to pull off one of my own signature jutsu…" at Sarutobi's raised eyebrow, Naruto smirked and continued. "With over a thousand Kage Bunshin helping me on the same jutsu for over a decade, you don't think it's weird that I wouldn't finish it? Even if said jutsu does defy the laws of time and space? Hell no, I kept getting sidetracked."

The old man let out a somewhat impressed grunt along with a nod. "And when can I see these jutsu?"

"What, so you can learn 'em yourself? Tch, I suppose I do owe you, old man…" Naruto said with a smile. "Yeah, like I said… end of the week. Now, down to business! I want to buy some land."

Everyone in the room was silent at that, all very confused. "Naruto… for what reason could you possibly require land?" The Sandaime asked after a moment.

"I want to build a house. Frankly, I'm damn tired of that dingy apartment, and for all my clones are worth chakra-wise, they don't help worth shit for building up muscle. This would help with that." Naruto shrugged.

Kakashi, finally feeling comfortable enough to jump into the conversation and possibly bruise his would-have-been student's ego, spoke up. "Buy land with what, Naruto? I'm fairly certain you don't have that much money…"

The blonde just narrowed his eyes and scoffed before addressing the Hokage again. "Tch, take it out of my inheritance." This got another wave of whispers and murmurs going. Sarutobi's eyes widened slightly, something that went unnoticed by all but the blonde boy staring straight into them. "Do I need to get you the account number, or what?" Naruto was, of course, referring to the money he was allowed to claim on his sixteenth birthday. Unfortunately, he'd been caught up in all this loop business before he could move out of his old apartment. When Sarutobi didn't answer immediately, Naruto started again. "What's the problem? If my memory's half as good as I thought it was, a little cash for land, timber and other building materials wouldn't even scratch the surface of it." And it wouldn't. One thing Naruto repeatedly thanked fate for was that he'd been caught up in the loops after having the account opened to him. In all those years of month-long loops, he'd never once run out of money, and he spent one month trying to!

In the end, Sarutobi sighed. "Okay, Naruto… I'll give you access to the account for this one purpose only." Naruto grinned brightly, reminding the old man of how Naruto used to be only a few days ago. "You know the account number, I assume?"

The blonde smirked as he rolled his eyes in response. "Would I have brought all this up if I didn't?" Naruto then turned to head down a floor to the Hokage's accounting office, which only a select few knew acted as a banking system for some of Konoha's clans and important figures as well, only to be met by the sight of more than a dozen confused Jounin and another few Tokubetsu Jounin like Anko.

Behind him, Naruto could hear Sarutobi chuckle. "Naruto, I believe an explanation would be prudent for your superiors, since their understanding in this matter would make everything easier in the long run." Naruto shot around and caught the old man giving him a sheepish grin. "And there happen to be a few holes in the story you already told me, so if you would mind?"

Naruto sighed heavily and turned back around, leaning back on the Hokage's desk and folding his arms over his chest. "Okay, approximately four years from now, the successor of Orochimaru, one Uchiha 'no way in fuck can I do any wrong' Sasuke, his gang of thugs attack Konoha. In a fucking karmic bitch-slap, Akatsuki, the organization made up entirely of S-Class missing-nin that are hell-bent on collecting the nine Bijuu, of which the one in my gut was the last, decided to blitz me on the same fucking day, sending all seven of their remaining members, including Snake-fucker-junior's big brother into Konoha. In the end, everyone dies, and Kyuubi decides to shove my mind back about a month so I can fix it. It didn't work, and I wound up reliving the same month just waiting to die over and over until I nearly went insane trying to train myself up to the point where I could beat them all, which also wound up worse than Kakashi's teaching record." If his audience wasn't so stupefied, including the Cyclops himself, he was sure he'd've gotten a few snickers or a glare… taking a deep breath, Naruto continued "And then it dawned on me to make a jutsu that'd send me back farther than a month, so I could stop all that shit from happening. If it weren't for the fact that Sandaime over there-" Naruto pointed back at the old man with his thumb "-is due to die in less than half a year and Jiraiya got splattered on some wall by one of those same Akatsuki bastards that were after me, I would've finished sooner, but instead all I had to teach me seals was just Kaka-teme and a few other Jounin." Naruto was surprised there weren't more gasps and angry mutters than there were regarding the demise of two of Konoha's greatest shinobi. "In the end, it took me nearly ten years to finish the jutsu, since I kept getting side-tracked with all sorts of badass Ninjutsu ideas for me to use once I came back in time, and after I did finish it, I finally got out of those damned loops on the eighteenth anniversary to getting stuck in them in the first place on my two-hundred and twentieth loop, and here I got as of yesterday."

To say everyone there was dumbfounded would be a monumental understatement. Everyone (save for Kakashi, who still wore his face-mask) stood with gaping mouths and wide eyes at the end of his rant. This only lasted a moment, however, as Kakashi's one visible eye narrowed and he spoke. "Wait… men have wasted their entire lives trying to create a Ninjutsu like that, and you're saying you did it in less than a decade? Need I remind you that I've seen your academy grades?"

Naruto returned the man's glare tenfold. "And need I remind you that I've got a demon sealed in my gut, as well as a certain Jounin-level Kinjutsu? Honestly, I usually had about a thousand Kage Bunshin working on the same project, so in reality, I chalked up nearly a millennia working on that damned thing… not to mention I couldn't've gotten the jutsu to work in the first place without a nigh-infinite chakra source like the Kyuubi." The blonde shrugged. "Only a Jinchuuriki with a significantly powerful demon, let's say seven or more tails could actually get it to work."

"Time-travel is still theoretically impossible…" Naruto heard from the back of the crowd, starting up a chain of similar mutterings. Naruto nodding in agreement only made them confused.

"As I told the old monkey…" Now everyone was glaring at the blonde, save for the Hokage himself, who found the nickname oddly humorous. "There was no 'travel' involved. I imprinted my thirty-four, or thirteen-hundred, however the fuck old I am once you take the Kage Bunshin into account… where was I? Oh yeah, my older mind onto my younger body in the past. The theory is actually quite simple, but in practice, it takes over forty-thousand written kanji along with nearly two-hundred hand-seals to do… just thinking about it makes my brain hurt…" It may seem like a lot at first, but once you take into account targeting the temporal coordinates, making the mental copy to be sent back, tapping into Kyuubi's chakra and fusing his chakra with the demon's to do the technique, as even though they'd never admit it, neither Naruto nor Kyuubi had enough chakra to do it alone. In total, the jutsu cost nearly fourteen out of the supposed seventeen tails worth of chakra they had at their disposal, thus reinforcing exactly how impossible time-travel was. "And before you ask, I had to memorize every single fucking thing about the jutsu, since everything reset after every loop." Naruto turned back to the Hokage, giving the older man a sullen and almost defeated look. "If you want, I'll write down everything I have on it, so long as you promise to lock the scrolls away in a very deep, dark place where it'll never be seen again."

Sarutobi gave Naruto an almost surprised glance. "Scrolls?" He asked.

Naruto groaned. "Yes, scrolls. Plural. Did you not hear how much goes into it? I'll need at least three, maybe five of those big scrolls with 'forbidden' stamped on the side to write it all down in." At Sarutobi's nod, Naruto sighed and leaned over the desk. "Do you think we could get away for a second? I've got a personal something I want to talk to you about…"

The older man nodded again, pushing himself back from the desk and standing up slowly before walking around his desk and laying his hand on Naruto's shoulder. Before Naruto could blink, he and the Hokage were standing atop the Fourth Hokage's stone head. Say what you will about his age, but that old monkey is fast with Shunshin. "Now, Naruto-kun… what is it?"

Naruto sighed before sitting down. If Sarutobi wasn't a shinobi, he'd've sworn Naruto looked older than him for an instant. After the older man sat down beside the blonde and took off his hat, signifying that their talk was 'man to man' instead of 'Genin to Hokage', Naruto began to speak. "You probably already figured out that I slept with Mitarashi-san. We were both heavily inebriated, and have yet to resolve the issue of what exactly we're going to do now." Sarutobi surveyed Naruto with a raised eyebrow, at which Naruto smiled grimly. "Come on, gramps… you know as well as I do that thanks to my old man and the damned fox, I could very well be alone for a very long time…" Naruto caught the village elder wince before he could hide it. "She's probably the best shot I've got at getting any sort of physical attention that doesn't involve my imminent demise." Naruto let himself fall back with an audible 'thump' "I'm just getting too old for this shit…"

Sarutobi chuckled as he nodded his agreement. "As am I…"

"Listen, I told Anko we'd talk after she got done with work. It'd be nice if she got the day off so we could figure all this shit out." Naruto muttered, leaning up to look the Hokage in the eyes. At the older man's nod, Naruto sighed and continued. "If you could privately tell her to drop by my place after the meeting, that'd be great… I'll be packing up all my stuff." The older man gave him a curious glance. "Listen, I'm either moving in with her, or camping in a tent on my new land until the house is livable."

Sarutobi chuckled. "Okay, Naruto…"

Before the old man could Shunshin away, Naruto caught him off guard. "It's because I remind you so much of him, isn't it?" Sarutobi could just nod, not even turning to face the blonde before disappearing in a flurry of leaves.

---

Naruto didn't have to wait long, as Anko arrived with an almost angry knock on his door less than an hour after Naruto left the monument. Any rage she had for the boy abated when she saw the state of his living space, however. 'No wonder the gaki wants to move out…' she thought. Naruto offered her tea, but she refused it. As sad as she was to even think it, the boy probably didn't have a clean teacup anywhere in the moldy trash-heap that was his home. "You… why didn't you try to move out sooner?" she asked, sitting down on his… if you could call that amalgamation of mold, padding and wood a couch…

"To be honest?" Naruto started, sitting himself down on the floor in front of her lazily. "Before I did the whole 'sending my mind back in time' thing, I'd convinced myself everyone lived like me. Helped blot out the hurt, y'know?" Naruto looked almost pained as he thought back so many years. "Besides… no one in Konoha would let me live better than this. Every so often, the villagers get a mob together, usually on the anniversary of Kyuubi's attack, and they storm through my house, wrecking everything." Naruto sighed, and chuckled grimly. "I learned better than to be home for my birthday after the first couple times they caught me here… although I suppose it was a good thing… those were the only years they left some of my stuff unbroken, since they were so busy breaking me…"

"You really have had it rough, huh?" Anko asked, standing up and stretching. "Well, it's not really any business of mine." The dark glint in her eye said otherwise, as she turned to the door. "Hey… if I wanted to find you, where should I look?"

"I'm pretty sure I'll be taking up residence in training area thirty-four. I'll set up a tent there." Naruto said, shouldering the bag that held all of the possessions that held any sentimental value, or were worth taking with him. "Like I said, I'll be making a house. Stop by if you're ever in the area, eh?" Naruto hefted the bag, repositioning it onto a less painful section of his shoulder before making for the door.

---

To say the training area was barren would be an overstatement, but it was mostly clear of trees and plants. The area itself was mostly a large hill with several training posts sticking out of the ground, and quite a few pockmarks from various jutsu used on the hillside. Just before the hill leveled into the nearby plains of training areas eight, seventeen and thirty-three, a veritable ring of trees encompassed the hill. Naruto sighed, creating a good number of Kage Bunshin to clear the hill while he dug a shovel out of his pack, and started to dig straight down from the top of the hill.

The next three days passed almost uneventfully, the only thing worth taking note of was Anko's visit the second night, and her proposition to let him share her bed the next. On the fourth day, he heard a noise from behind him in the tunnels he'd been making. The first point in the design of his home was to be the system of escape and supply tunnels he'd put in. That way, he'd never need to bother with the villagers… he'd just pop into a nearby town for whatever he needed. Each night, he posted multiple Kage Bunshin as guards for his new home, and sent more to train. Setting down the pick he'd been using to chip away under the bedrock and leaning against it haughtily, Naruto lifted his lamp and waited for his visitors to arrive. He only had to wait a moment before three young children came stumbling out of the dark. "Oww!" A young girl whined as the apparent leader lost his footing and brought her down under him. "Please get off me, Konohamaru-kun…" She groaned.

Naruto sighed as he watched their third member, a sickly looking boy, lift the leader off the girl by his scarf and nearly choking him. "Why are we down here, anyway?" He asked.

"Because where there's tunnels, there's treasure and adventure!" Konohamaru cried out, pumping his fist into the air emphatically. Naruto waited for the crickets to stop chirping before clearing his throat. The Hokage's grandson immediately spun around, pointing at him. "YOU THERE! You're after our treasure, aren't you!?"

The blonde rolled his eyes before using Henge to turn three rocks into smaller versions of his pick. "You've got some nerve coming onto my land, and into my tunnels, brat…" Naruto said before tossing the picks to them. The girl caught hers, and the snot-nosed boy managed to dodge his, but Konohamaru was struck across the forehead by the shaft of his. "Your reflexes are simply astounding, y'know… now get to diggin' if you're gonna' hang around here."

"And why should we!?" The Sarutobi boy yelled, having shot to his feet while stifling the pain-induced tears in his eyes. His accomplices had taken up their picks and stood on either side of him defensively.

"Because it's good strength training…" Naruto answered with a shrug. "And because you'll never last more than half an hour in this kind of manual labor anyway. You guys want to be ninja, right?"

"H-how did you know that!?" The leader shouted.

"Not important…" Naruto groaned, hefting the pick easily with one hand and sending it rocketing through the stone, cleaving away several square feet of rock in under a second. "You want to be strong, right?" He asked, taking another swing, and another with that same arm before wiping nonexistent sweat from his brow and turning back to the youngsters. "Usually I just make a couple Iwa Bunshin to take care of the rocks buuut, I'll tell you what… break this stuff into manageable bits and pile it up outside, and if you last more than an hour non-stop, I'll teach you a chakra exercise most people never learn until after they hit Genin, okay?"

After a moment's hesitation, all three gave a hearty cry to the affirmative, and true to Naruto's lackluster appraisal of their physical abilities, they could barely stand after twenty minutes of work. They'd rest, and then work again, but every time the breaks got longer and the time they could spend working lessened as fatigue set in. After about two hours of work, Naruto sent all three home. This didn't stop all three from showing up early the next morning however, none of them eager to back down from a challenge. Every day the time they spent working grew and the breaks shortened, even if each was only by a couple minutes. After five days, the trio managed the irksome blonde's test of a straight hour of toil, and demanded he teach them.

And so Naruto stood before a trio of trees with an equal number of munchkins in front of him. "This exercise is one of the most basic in the ninja world, taught in every single hidden village." The blonde said loudly before throwing a kunai into the ground in front of each of them. "You will focus chakra into your feet and learn to stick to surfaces. Too much chakra and you repel yourself, too little and you slide off and crack your tiny little heads open." Naruto saw each of them gulp hard after his statement. "Take it nice and slow at first. If you manage it today, which I seriously doubt you will, you'll run up and down the tree until you're exhausted. Use the kunai to mark your progress." Naruto then created a trio of Kage Bunshin to watch over them as he walked back to his tunnels.

Another ten days passed, and Naruto spent his first night in two weeks alone. After they'd spent every night in either his tent or her bed ravaging each other, he was honestly a little worried… but he knew Anko was fine. Probably just on a mission, he figured. The kids had made some progress, though. Moegi had mastered tree walking on the second day, and Udon on the sixth. Konohamaru took the longest, finally getting the hang of it on day eight, but that was expected of eight-year-olds. Naruto then told them to continue the training until he said otherwise, to which they begrudgingly complied. The next day, he decided to pay the Hokage a visit. Once again, he burst in during a Jounin meeting, but after glancing around, he noticed Anko wasn't there. 'Probably still on that mission…' he thought.

"Naruto! What a surprise… might I ask why you've come here today?" The Sandaime asked, watching the blonde warily just as nearly every Jounin in the room was. Naruto smirked… Kakashi was the exception. He was still facing towards the Hokage, and was the only one who seemed to be paying the blonde no mind at all.

"Kakashi… move and I burn every copy of those books in Konoha." Naruto said, smirking as the man tensed. He knew better than to think his old sensei wasn't reading those perverted novels, even in front of the Hokage. The blonde smiled disarmingly towards the remainder of the room, even as he held out his right hand and started stalking toward the cyclopean shinobi. Each and every one of them knew something was wrong the instant the blonde's fingers started to glow white, and this fear was doubled when the odd chakra began spiraling around each digit like a drill. Kakashi seemed oddly calm, however. Even Naruto wasn't stupid enough to attack a Jounin in the presence of the Hokage…

He thought this right up until he felt the boy's hand on his shoulder, and unimaginable pain flood through his body. Naruto had plunged the attack directly into the older man's spine. Beneath his mask, Kakashi's mouth was opened wide in a soundless scream of agony before he crumpled to the floor. "Holy shit…" Naruto muttered. "I didn't think he'd actually pass out…"

"Naruto… what did you do?" The old man behind the desk asked darkly. The blonde smiled sheepishly in response.

"Oh, just a jutsu I came up with, don't worry, he'll be fine… after a few weeks…" Naruto shrugged.

"What is it you want, Naruto?" Sarutobi inquired, glancing down at the fallen man.

Naruto made a show of drawing in a long breath before answering. "Well, maybe you are as blind as you are wrinkly, old man, because I just took down a Jounin." He smiled broadly before leaning over the Hokage's desk. "I want Genin status."

The old man cocked an eyebrow in response before shrugging. "You have it, but did you need to hospitalize one of my best men to get it?"

"Nah, that was just fun… Don't worry, though. You'll have three Kage Bunshin here for my D-Ranks every morning." Naruto then turned to leave, not noticing that a red-eyed woman was taking the time to pointedly glare at him.

---

Later that day, Naruto was once again accosted by a trio of youngsters, whom he sent to work climbing trees again. This was interrupted, however, when they were visited upon by half of Team Eight. "Naruto…!" Kurenai called out. "Uzumaki Naruto get your ass out here, NOW! That's an order!"

Said blonde then drug himself out of his tunnels, groaning loudly. "Just because I'm a Genin and you're a Jounin, you think you should be ordering me around? What's this about an-" And then he saw who she was with, and thus crashed his train of thought. "…Hinata."

"I want to know what the hell happened to my student, and why it has to do with you." Kurenai continued. "We had a little talk, and even if she didn't tell me everything, I still want to know what her success as a kunoichi has to do with you."

Naruto already knew. He was the source of Hinata's drive to better herself. He was the reason she fought, and the only thing keeping her sane in the torrent of her family life. What had he done, though? "N-Naruto-kun…" He heard from behind Kurenai. "N-no… I… I want Naruto-kun b-back…" He knew something was wrong, but what? He saw her tears, and took a step forward to try and quell them. He didn't want her to cry, but she took a step back. "You… you're not Naruto-kun…" she muttered, before rushing forward several feet, standing right in front of him. "Give Naruto-kun back to me!" She screamed.

Naruto was at a loss, even as Hinata continued to break down, and was ushered away by Kurenai. He knew the direction they were heading in… the hospital, probably to get her something to force her to calm down. Naruto couldn't think straight, even as Kurenai gave him an 'I'll be back' glare. So he just sat himself down on the edge of the hole leading into the tunnels, and pondered it for a moment. He just didn't want her to die… was that so wrong? No… but there was no guarantee she'd die, either…

His thoughts were once more abruptly halted when Anko returned, shadowed by three children who were curious as to the reason for Naruto's many visitors today. "Didn't I tell you lot to train?" Naruto asked, sighing as he stood and walked to meet Anko. The three didn't leave. "So, Anko-chan… what's going on? You just get back from a mission or something?"

She shook her head. "No… I…" She shook her head again. Anko was acting shy. Naruto knew she was never shy… something was wrong. "Naruto… I just got back from the hospital, and I've… got some news." It only took a fraction of a second for him to figure out where this was heading, and he didn't like it one bit…

"…I'm pregnant."


Kudos to anyone who saw that coming in chapter one… it was kinda' obvious.

I have no idea why people think this, but some people are under the opinion that 'Tokubetsu Jounin' is some sort of elite. They aren't. They're just Chuunin with a fancy title. Tokujin (Shortened version of Tokubetsu Jounin, or 'Special Jounin') ACT as Jounin in their field of specialty, for instance, Ibiki can order around Jounin and even ANBU in regards to interrogation or intelligence gathering; his specialty that makes him more than a Chuunin. (I assume Anko is a combat specialist, and Ebisu is just a babysitter that has his badass moments) Kakashi is an 'Elite Jounin' which I don't think is an actual rank. Rather, he simply has seniority in most situations, and that's one way of saying as much.

Assuming that every loop is about 30 days (give or take, since he gets caught sooner in some, and later in others), and that every year is 365 and one quarter day (that's why we have leap-years, to add up that quarter day) then the 18-year mark should hit somewhere in the 220-th loop… then again, Naruto wasn't exactly counting the days, so it's impossible to be completely certain.

I'm just going to say this once… Sometime after the timeskip, Naruto is said to have almost as much chakra as Kyuubi (I'm pretty sure Kakashi says it) In other words, giving them a grand total of 16-18 tails worth to work with.

And if any of you are wondering when Naruto bought the property, and why I didn't have it in there, I'm wondering why you'd want to read about a boring financial interaction… I just didn't want to write it.

Truth be told, this fic goes against just about everything I know about time-space theorem. (Warning, rant ahead) Everything that has happened has happened. If you go back in time, you've already been there, and so nothing can change. Take the grandfather paradox for instance… if you go back in time, and kill your own grandfather, you won't exist, right? In that case, you wouldn't exist to go back in the first place and kill him, thus, he'd never be killed, and you'd be fine. IF you went back and tried to kill him, SOMETHING would stop you, since you were already there in the past before you were born and you were still born, weren't you? In any case, time travel is theoretically impossible, thus my idea to imprint Naruto's mind on his former self, since that's not quite so far-fetched.
