In Older Naruto' Mind.

The first thing Naruto noticed was the fact that he was still in his mind and not somewhere that looked like the afterlife. "That's weird I figured the afterlife would look a little bit different from my mind. Or Is my mind the afterlife? No, that would be stupid."

"Naruto. What are you doing?"

"Kurama? What are you doing here? I thought you were absorbed by Madara. Wait a second. Why the hell are you even still in my mind?!"

"Well Naruto your mind is such a nice and cheerful place I thought I would just stay in here for eternity."

"Really?"

"OF COURSE NOT!"

"Then why are you here?"

"Use your head you idiot, I'm supposed to stay inside you until you die. Since I'm still inside you must be…"

" In Hell?"

"I swear you are the most idiotic person I've ever met, and I was sealed inside your mother. WE ARE ALIVE YOU IDIOT!"

Naruto just stood there silently and then in a depressed tone asked."Does that mean I'm in Madara's illusion world?"

"Trust me you are not in any illusion kid."

"How do I know you are telling the truth? You could be an illusion yourself."Naruto stated to Kurama

"If you had listened to anything Madara had said, you would know you not in an illusion."

"Huh?" was Naruto's only reply.

Kurama sighed before continuing "Look, Madara said he wanted to create a world where everyone got what they wanted most. Is having a conversation with me about whether or not you are in an illusion the thing you want the most?"

Naruto stood there for a moment letting the fact that they might still be alive sink in. "Okay but if we are alive and not in an illusion than where exactly are we?" asked Naruto.

"That's what I've been wondering myself kid, try opening your eyes and looking around."

With some difficulty Naruto managed to open his eyes and what he saw gave him great hope and great pain. His hope came from the fact that he saw the sun and the familiar forest that surrounds Konoha. His pain came from the fact that he opened his eyes to be looking directly at the sun. "Gah" Naruto managed to murmur through his mouth, which was healing up rather miraculously considering the pummeling Madara gave him though it was still hard to use.

"So you have no idea how you are still inside me, how we are alive, why I am near Konoha, or how I'm not in the illusion?"Naruto asked as he struggled to get on his feet.

"Not a clue." Kurama replied.

"I can't say I'm going to complain though, I hate being sealed. Will you buck up already Naruto? I figured you would be happy to be alive and well."

Sadness quickly overcame Naruto as he remembered what happened. "I would be except that all my friends are dead, Madara beat me, I let everybody who ever counted me down when they needed me the most, and I watched as my teacher, my sister, my best friend, and the only women who ever loved me die. To be honest Kurama I was actually looking forward to dying so I could at least be with them again."Naruto said in a diminished tone.

By this time Naruto was on his feet and just slowly walking to Konoha, though he was too distracted talking to Kurama to notice. "I can't say I blame you kid, when I was sealed inside Madara, I was able to see all the damage he did. If I was out there it would make me wish that I was dead too. However, seeing as how we are alive I think we just might be able to do something about it." Kurama said with a confident smile. "

What can we do?" asked the saddened Naruto.

"Think you idiot, if your Village isn't under the illusion that means Madara might be coming to destroy it. Are you going to just sit back and let that happen?" Kurama asked, already knowing the answer.

Naruto took a minute to digest what was just said to him before replying. "No. I will NOT let what happened at the Battlefield happen to the Village! Naruto exclaimed aloud getting some energy back. "He'll have to kill me a thousand times before I allow it!"

"That's the spirit Naruto! Now let's get back there and warn the Village." Kurama said. And with that Naruto was racing off to Konoha.

"Hey Kurama did you heal my body for me while I was out? I feel much better then when Madara was talking to me." Naruto said as he was looking over his body for any injuries.

"That's because I'm nicer to talk to. Hehehe. But seriously kid, I didn't do anything to your body, I just woke up in your mind and your body was already like this. I don't even know how I got out of Madara." Kurama replied equally puzzled as Naruto.

"We'll have to figure it out later, I see the Village!" Naruto exclaimed as the village walls were in sight.

Being a gate guard is probably one of the most boring positions a ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village can have. The only thing to do is look around for trouble and let people in and out of the village. So if anything interesting news comes up, you can bet the guards will enjoy talking about it. And to Izumo and Kotetsu nothing was more interesting at that moment than one Naruto Uzumaki.

"Hey did you hear that Naruto kid graduated."

"What? I thought he stole the forbidden Scroll last night. How the hell is he still able to be a ninja let alone graduate?"

"It turns out Mizuki turned traitor and tricked Naruto into getting it and since Naruto helped capture him he was forgiven and allowed to graduate."

"Well how the hell did he help capture Mizuki?" asked Kotetsu.

"Beats me." replied Izumo. "All I can say is if he manages to get past the second test, I think he will grow up into quite an interesting ninja. Assuming he doesn't get killed."

Kotetsu just snorted "I'll believe that when I see it. Hey we got company coming fast." Izumo looked away to see an incoming ninja with an orange and brown suit with matching pants and blond hair with a leaf head band.

"Whoa. Slow it down buddy, where's the fire?" Kotetsu asked as the blond ninja stopped to talk.

"There are still ninjas here. Good. Alright look Madara won, the entire alliance has been destroyed including the Hokage, We need to start preparing for Madara to come here and attack, I need you to gather every available ninja we have, Anbu, genin, retired, and anybody in-between, we'll need every able bodied ninja we got. Where is the Daiyamo?" the blond ninja asked.

Kotetsu was so stunned he couldn't answer so Izumo did; "He's in the Hokage building in a meeting with…"

"The man in charge, okay got it, I'll go debrief him about Madara, you two start gathering ninja." The blond figure finished and then jumped onto the buildings headed straight for the Hokage building.

Now Izumo was the one stunned as he saw the figure disappear into the Village. "Should we gather the ninja for an attack?" asked Kotetsu? It took a moment for Izumo to respond before he answered. "We need to alert the Hokage, tell him he's going to have company."

"The Village looks like it was never attacked by Pain it all looks completely rebuilt." said Naruto as he jumped from building to building."

"Strange, I knew you humans were fast builders but to have fixed everything so quickly…" replied Kurama as he began to think. " That's good it can help us against Madara. There's the building." said Naruto as he approached the Hokage building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is what many might call a legendary warrior. He was trained by Hashirama and Tobirama Senju, He is a master of every type of jutsu art, he personally trained the greatest trio of ninjas in history known as the Sanin, he is the longest reigning Hokage in history, and he is looked up to and respected across the ninja world. One can imagine not many things faze him, but if you know him personally, you would realize that he hates meetings with the Daiyamo and he hates having to do the paperwork that comes from it.

"It's always a pleasure to meet with you Daiyamo"

"Likewise Hiruzen I will see you in a few months." replied the Daiyamo before exiting. After the Daiyamo had left the room Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief before massaging his head. "Why do these meetings always have to be so long?" he said to no one in particular. "Oh well at least I can finally sit down and read Jiraiya's latest book." he thought to himself with a perverted smile. Once he reached to get the book however,

CRASH!

Hiruzen was immediately on his guard as one of his windows was crashed through by an unknown assailant.

"Sorry about that but listen we are in a hurry, Madara could be on his way here we need to start preparing for…." The assailant suddenly stopped speaking as he saw the man who he looked up to as a grandfather and whose reanimated corpse was destroyed by Madara standing there before alive. Hiruzen for his part immediately recognized the assailant as an older version of the kid who had stolen the Forbidden Scroll last night and was supposed to meeting his team today.

"Naruto?"

"Old Man?"

"We are in the F..cking past." thought Kurama in an amazed tone.

And Done. I feel really good about this chapter but let me know what you guys think by reviewing. Until next time, see you later.
