Chapter 1: Past
As Aoba woke up, he could not believe his own eyes. He found himself on his bed. The same bed that supposed to be destroyed after Pain invasion. It was just as exactly as in the tablet of the sage, he was really travel back through time something that supposed to be impossible for a mortal to achieve. Yet here he was. The first thing he did once he finished preparing himself was checking the date. He needed to know what time he was now so that he could plan his course of action accordingly. After all, it was forbidden for mortal to return to the past.

AOBA BEFORE YOU LEAVE I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER THIS. Stated Shinigami in such serious tone that Aoba could tell how serious the issue was. THE WORLD HERSELF IS A SENTIENT BEING, SOMETHING THAT CAUSE THE GREAT CHANGE OVER THE ENTIRE WORLD SUCH AS TIME TRAVEL IS DANGEROUS. THUS, YOU MUST NEVER TELL ANYONE YOU ARE FROM THE FUTURE...
"I don't quite understand Shinigami-sama." Confused Aoba. "Wouldn't it be better if they knew about the future?"
THERE WAS THE THING. Stated Shinigami. IT MAY BE TRUE THAT IT WOULD MAKE IT MUCH EASIER IF THEY KNEW THE DETAIL FROM THE FUTURE. YET BY DOING SO, THE WORLD HERSELF WILL RECOGNIZED YOU AS YOU ARE SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BE THERE
'Something that shouldn't be there.' Thought Aoba.
WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THE WORLD WILL REJECT YOUR EXISTENCE.
"Reject my existence! Do you mean...?"
YOU'RE DEAD AND THE CHANGE YOU MAKE WILL BE RETURN TO WHAT IT SUPPOSES TO BE. IN OTHER WORD, IT WILL BE LIKE YOU'RE NEVER BE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
"So it's mean if someone knew about the fact that I came from the future, the world herself would kill me and all the change I made like saving Sandaime's life would be returned like in the original timeline, am I correct?" Asked Aoba.
IT WAS GOOD THAT YOU ARE NOT STUPID. IF IT WAS NARUTO, HE WOULD BE ASKING MORE AND MORE QUESTION NOW WAS HE NOT? Chuckled Shikigami. Aoba could not help but thought about Naruto's face if he was here and that made him laughed even more.

Since he could not tell anyone, it meant he was doing this alone and must plan really carefully if he wanted the change to happen. He looked at the calendar. He found that he was appearing one week before Naruto's academy life started and around two months after Uchiha massacred. It seemed he was too late in saving the Uchiha after all.
"Hmm..." Mumbled Aoba as he saw Umino Iruka handing out the leaflet. "What are you doing Iruka-san?" Asked Aoba.
"Oh! Aoba-san I was sent to hand the recruitment leaflet for a teacher position in the academy." Answered Iruka before he handed the leaflet to Aoba.
"A teacher position...?"
"Yes, Aoba-san one of our teacher just recently got promote. It happened so suddenly and we have only one weak left before the new term started so are you interested?"
It was not weird for a Shinobi to take more than one job. You could see the example such as Yamanaka's flower shop. After all, it was not frequent for them to have high rank job so suddenly. The fact that Aoba was in an Interrogation Department which rarely have a work did not help. Therefore, it was not bad becoming a teacher. Moreover, he could help established Naruto and other skills early more than an original timeline.
"Teacher huh... Why not?" Said Aoba. "My department now has nothing much to do yet anyway so I guess I can make it."
"REALLY!" Exclaimed Iruka. "Thank you Aoba-san I'll make an appointment with Head-Master right away. So, I'll see you again when the arrangement is done and again thank you Aoba-san."
"It's OK really Iruka-san. I think I get benefit from it more than you thought." Said Aoba. 'Considered that I have a chance to improve them early, I should be the one to say thank you Iruka-san.' Though Aoba.
"Eh!?" Confused Iruka.
"Never mind Iruka-san... See you later."
"See you later..."
It took only one day for Iruka to contact him again. Though, he has to go for an interview and discussed more about salary in the day after which nothing much trouble. Moreover since they could not find other to do the job, he was the only choice left. Though it was quite annoying when you said that out but all in all, he became officially teacher in the academy. He just could not wait to teach them especially when he saw how much Naruto and other could become. Unfortunately, words of god interfered with their development and pushing his focus into only Naruto and his 'brother' Uchiha Sasuke and gave the latter some miracle that should be impossible so that Naruto could save him.

DID YOU KNOW THE NAME OF THE HIGHEST DEITY IN SHINOBI'S WORLD AOBA? Asked Shinigami.
"I'm sorry sir...I really don't know."
KISHIMOTO MASASHI WAS HIS NAME.
"That sounds normal more than I thought."
OBVIOUSLY, BUT THAT WAS NOT ALL HE IS ALSO SASUKE LOVER AND ALWAYS PUT THE STUNT JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT SASUKE LIVED. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN SASUKE RAN OUT OF CHAKRA AND HE SHOULD NOT HAVE ENOUGH CHAKRA TO EXECUTE JUTSU MORE THAN C-RANK WHILE FIGHTING AGAINST ONE OF THE AKATSUKI DEIDARA. DO YOU THINK WHAT HAPPEN NEXT? Asked Shinigami.
"Since there has no sight of Uchiha dead at that time so I guess he alive but I really did not know sir..."
SASUKE SUMMONED MANDA YOU KNOW, THE LEADER OF SNAKE SUMMON AND CONTROL IT USING HIS SHARINGAN. DID YOU KNOW HOW MUCH CHAKRA NEED TO USE TO EXECUTE ALL OF THAT?
"Quite a lot sir..."
YES QUITE A LOT AND HE COULD PUT ALL THAT STUNT JUST BECAUSE KISHIMOTO WANT NARUTO TO SAVE HIM AND SERIOUSLY MAKING NARUTO ENDLESSLY PURSUED HIM LIKE THAT... I CAN DESCRIBE IT USING JUST ONE WORD... GAY. I TRULY UNDERSTAND WHY MANY DEITY DECIDED TO SHIP THEM TOGETHER. Exclaimed Shinigami while Aoba just sighed. It seemed today going to be a long day of complaining like usual.

Aoba smirked as he remembered the old memory. In truth, he was quite missing Shinigami now. After all, they spent time together Kishi knew how long and established strong relationship together. Just as he tried to think about their training together a certain blond boy hit him.
"Oh sorry..." Said the blond.
"Naruto..."
"Yeah, I'm Uzumaki Naruto the future Hokage, ttebayo!" Replied Naruto. "Hey how did you know my name?" Well it was quite obvious. Due to the fact that at that time, no one have ever cared about Naruto enough to even know what his name was and mostly saw him as Kyuubi instead of a child. So it was not wrong for him to be surprised for someone to catch on his name.
"Who know?" Smirked Aoba. "Till we meet again..." Said Aoba as he made a few hand signs then disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Hey where did you go?" Shouted Naruto.
'I just can't wait to tort... I mean training you all to become a better Shinobi Kufufufu...' Thought Aoba as he watched confusing Naruto from afar. 'It will be fun indeed.'
