Starting over
Chapter 2
Disclaimer: See first chapter

The sun was just starting to come out and the first rays of light shined upon Uzumaki Naruto. Slowly waking up, he took a look at his surroundings and noticed that he was back home in his apartment. Then, in a flash, everything that happened to him came rushing back. The fight with Sasuke, the near death experience, and the deal made to start over. Suddenly, everything slowly faded into nothing as he found himself in a hallway lined with old piping and standing water. Looking around he heard two voices from down the hallway so he started to follow the voices. Not long afterwards, he found a giant gate with an ofuda with the word seal written on it. Outside the gate was a man wearing black jeans, a black tee-shirt and black combat boots. On the other side of the cage was a giant fox with nine flowing tails swishing around the cage.

"About time you got here." said the man in black.

"So the Gaki finally decides to show up." said the fox.

"Cool it Kyuubi, we have already had this talk."

"I still say that this will lead no where, he will never agree to what you are asking of him."

"He will if you would actually talk to him and tell him everything that you have told me."

"WOH WOH WOH, who are you and what is going on here?"

"That is easy enough to answer, My name is Hikaru, and this is Kyuubi. You made a deal to go back in time and in doing so prevent certain things from happening. I am here to make sure things don't get too out of hand and to train you in things that even your great Hokage doesn't know about."

"Huh?"

"Simple and stupid, I told you so, I have been with him since the beginning so I think I know more about this Gaki than you do."

"Enough out of you Kyuubi until I have talked to him. It is going to be hard enough to full explain things with you keep interrupting me."

"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you."

Over the next four hours, Hikaru talked to Naruto about everything that he would be taught over the years. They made plans and then the real mind screwer happened. Naruto learned of the events that lead up to the sealing of the Kyuubi. It was Orochimaru's fault that things had turned out the way they had. Orochimaru being pissed over not being selected as the Forth, decided that he would summon demons and bound them in a way similar to a summoning contract with other animals. The process was successful for summoning, but when he couldn't control the Kyuubi and seal him in a contract, he placed a powerful Genjutsu on him over powering him with rage and directed him to Konoha. After the seal was in place, the genjutsu wore off and the Kyuubi was able to think for himself. The three of them came to an understanding and began working together to come up with a solution that would be able to satisfy all parties involved.

The first task at hand was training Naruto. Without full training, he would not be able to do the things the others needed. To start the training, they would need help and that help would come from the Hokage. Determined to see him tomorrow, they started with the most fundamental thing he would need, an education. Being three did not give them many things to do, so they went to the library and started top get the books that would be needed for the first part of Naruto's training. The books were books on everything from basic politics to weapons to chakra control and manipulation. Most of the books had to be smuggled out of the library since no one would let him read them without raising suspicions. The following day he went to see the Hokage.

--Hokage Tower--

It was an interesting site that greeted the ANBU guards stationed outside of the Hokage's office. They knew that the boy contained the Demon, but they also knew that he was not the demon itself. After long hours of working with the Third, they were able to come to the realization of the truth.

"What can we do for you today Naruto?"

"I need to see the Hokage. I need a favor from him if he is not too busy."

"I think that can be arranged." said the other ANBU before knocking on the door.

"Come in."

"Hokage-sama, Uzumaki Naruto is here and he would like to see you."

"Send him in." replied the Hokage setting aside his paperwork.

Naruto entered the office and walked over to the seat in front of the Hokage's desk. Naruto bowed before taking the seat and the ANBU left the room.

"Jiji, I need a favor."

"Oh, and what is the favor you are requesting?"

"I need some help with a few things, though it will be in the future, but I would like to set things up now so that they will be ready."

"Thoughtful of you, but what do you need?"

"I need some help with a couple of seals for something special. I can't do it on my own. If you are willing to help me, then there is something that can help the both of us and anyone else that you see fit to include in this arrangement."

"Naruto, this doesn't sound like you, you are only three where is this language coming from?"

"I meet a Kami that has given me some help and shone me a few things, and how to do certain things, but I can't do it on my own. The Kami told me about the Kyuubi and has given me something to help with him. Another person who is capable of controlling the Kyuubi and teaching us a lot of valuable things. Right now his consciousness is locked within me just like the Kyuubi. He is helping me with a lot of things including me language and understanding."

"I am not sure about this Naruto, how can I believe you?"

"I can let him use my body for a brief amount of time if that will help you?"

"Let me talk with him then."

Naruto's eyes glazed over for a second and then a new look entered them. "Hello Hokage-sama, or should I call you Sarutobi-sama?"

"Who exactly are you?"

"My name is Hikaru and I am someone with a vast amount of knowledge about Konoha, its future and a few other tidbits of information that will help things considerably in the long run. If you are willing to take me on faith then I have a lot to offer, if you need proof before taking me at my word, then let me know what I will need to do for you to trust me."

"First off, before I get to the part of trusting you, I would like to here about this deal with the Kami that Naruto mentioned and how you are involved with this"

"Easy enough. I come from a slightly different world. In my world I was a normal man that enjoyed several different activities including watching things like anime and reading manga. On my world, Konoha was part of a series that is called Naruto since the story was about his life. I also enjoyed several other series as well. I was involved in an accident that should have killed me, but because of my faith in certain things I was given another chance to help out with people, this will be my last stop before being able to regain a body for myself to live out the rest of my life. The Kami is called the Lord of Nightmares in some realities, but truthfully she is just an incarnation of pure Chaos. Since she believes and balance is needed for all things just like chaos is needed for all things, she has sent an element of chaos that will bring the balance needed to this world. As a result, I am here to help and to set things right before they fall apart like they did before. Part of the deal was coming back in time to train Naruto for the things he already knows about. The other part is to get you and the other two Sannins ready for what is coming in the years ahead. I know that this is a little hard to accept and for that I have a piece of information that will help you to believe me. First, has the Cloud dignitaries arrived yet?"

"How, how did you know about them, the meetings are secret and they will be leaving tomorrow?"

"Kuso! What time is it?"

"Well it is about ten at night seeing as how long we have been talking."

"Kuso, come with me and please hurry."

Naruto jumped out through the window and hurried to where the Hyuuga manor was located, right when he got there he saw a nin jumping over the wall with a bundle in his hands. As he was about the run away, another man come from behind him.

"Matte!" Naruto yelled, and the nin holding the bundle looked behind and dodged the blow and that set him up for the attack Naruto was preparing. "Source of all power, Wind which sweeps across sky and earth. Gather in my hand and give me strength! Digger Bolt!" With that said a bolt of yellow lightning went straight toward the nin with the bundle and hit him shocking him into unconsciousness. The other nin went to him and grabbed tha bundle in his arms and held it close to his chest before moving over to the man. "Matte! He is already down and if you keep him alive then he can give you valuable information." Naruto said while walking up to the man with completely white eyes. The Hokage saw everything and made his presence known.

"Hold, Haishi. Naruto has a point."

"As you wish Hokage-sama, I owe him that much seeing as how he helped take down the man."

After a few minutes the ANBU came and took the nin away discovering that the nin's identity was that of the Cloud ambassador. Realizing what they had to bargain with, they left him in prison and contacted the cloud.

"Well it seems that you do know a thing or two about what you are talking about. By the way, what was the technique you used on that shinobi, it is nothing like the Raiton ninjutsus that I have seen."

"That is because it isn't a ninjutsu. I have learned about different things and can teach others if you will help in the training of Naruto."

"I think we might be able to arrange something. What do you have in mind"

The two of them went back to the Hokage tower to tlak and eneded up talking through out the night over the training for Naruto and the things that the Hokage would need to know about. This was going to be the start of a whole new Konoha and it looked to have a bright future.
