"You blew up a bridge, a bridge to defeat those enemies, that village couldn't resume normal trade for two weeks while they set up a temporary solution while fixing the damage you guys caused and we had to pay damage costs to them"
"Hey, that was Jiraiya's fault not mine, I told him we could use a different plan to defeat the enemy and he didn't listen to the plan until afterwords and when he did he acknowledged that my plan would have been better and less destructive"
"Well, for now I have your report and am glad you guys made it back when you did in the original time line, oh and Umino Iruka said something that has me seriously wondering if he also somehow managed to remember the future but hasn't said anything to keep the panic down if he doesn't suspect I actually also remember"
"What did he say when?
"Two weeks ago while handing out the missions he told an experienced Jonin to be careful and bring all his men back alive. Now then he always tells everyone to be careful, but the second part, the part about bringing people back alive is new and I really need to find out if he actually somehow remembers or not, unfortunately the only other way to know is for the Jonin to come back from the mission and it's supposed to last until you guys are on the rescue mission to Sand to save Gaara"
"I might have a way without out right asking him"
"Go for it"
"Thanks, he needs to be here around people that also remember just in case"
"Right, I have the perfect way of bringing him back here too"
Tsunade asks Kotetsu to bring Iruka to her with Naruto's shinobi file which he brings and has a good reunion with Naruto, who then asks Iruka a question that he knew would let them know if Iruka truly remembered the future without outright asking him
"Hey Sensei I was wondering, where exactly was your focus when we were rebuilding the village?"
"Which time Naruto? After Orochimaru did major damage through his snake summons again or after the Akatsuki attack?"
And that's when Iruka froze in fear realizing what he had just said
"Um, ignore what I just said Naruto, Tsunade-sama, I just had a bad dream after reading the file on the group of S-ranked missing nin that have been popping up lately"
"Sorry Umino, but since Team Kakashi, Team Gai, Team Asuma, Team Kurenai, Jiraiya, the Kazekage, his siblings and their sensei plus I also remember the future that won't work on us"
With that Iruka simply talks about everything that had been going on the past few years, emotions he had hidden, training he had tried to do secretly between the mission desk and teaching, plans he had made that he knew would be questioned if he ever acted on them, and just general things about how hard it was to keep up a mask and pretend he didn't know what was happening when in reality he knew exactly what was happening and what major event would come up next. The next day Team Kakashi has a six way spar with Naruto ultimately winning only because of the fact that he actually managed to pull off a jutsu he had been working on while on his training trip with Jiraiya which interrupted everything but Taijutsu
"Okay Naruto what was that?"
"Something I've been working on with Jiraiya, Sai I have nothing against you especially as we were going to restore your memories immediately but if something happened and you or any of our allies were under enemy control we needed a way to stop them in every way possible except Taijutsu. What I have developed will even stop fellow Jinchuriki"
"Does it require a ton of chakra?"
"Actually anyone here plus the others minus Iruka-sensei, who I just found out has also always remembered the future, can do it, I made sure of that in case I ever needed stopped with this jutsu myself I will teach Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke the signs later so that they can teach the rest of the group"
"Oh and Naruto, everyone can fight with an active shadow clone for two hours now, if we're just using the clone to scout we have enough chakra for four hours, wait Neiji and Hinata can use the clone to scout for five"
"That's great news"
"But no one has the chakra needed to use the amount you do, though Kakashi and Yamato-sensei can make more than us"
"We've been Jonin longer and have used the jutsu more often, plus there's the fact that Yamato uses wood clones which is unique to him but not as effective"
"Either way, you guys have improved over the years and are focusing on more than just clones so what you're able to do is fine"
"So what exactly is the plan for the Sand mission?"
"That's a good question because it leads us to find out more about the Akatsuki which this time we don't need"
"Well I think it's going to have to start out the same with Sand calling for our aid, after that we might be able to change things depending on a lot of things"
"Right, because we already know where they ultimately are"
"Exactly, that should help matters I hope"
"Okay, let's go for it then, Sakura think you can have the antidote ready early this time?"
"No, but only because of the fact that some of the ingredients I need are specific to Sand and I don't have a valid reason to ask for them at the moment"
"Okay then, you go to Sand to help Kankuro while the rest of us go to Gaara, if they ask why we're not having a few people wait with you to get information from Kankuro..."
"Tell them that thanks to a few encounters one of the team already has an idea of where they are going, and it's true because this time Jiraiya and I ran into them a few times while they were after other goals and I got to know them a bit and figure out some of their hidden locations which should help things"
"Okay then, let's do it"
"Agreed"
"Wait, Sai you joined us originally after the Sand mission and we don't want them to know about you too soon, you're our trump card as is Yamato-sensei now that I think about it so I have a different plan in mind when it's time for the Sand mission for you two"
"What's the plan Naruto?"
"Okay so since you two can't be too visible yet what you're going to do is start gathering supplies for the mission to track down Kabuto and then the base of Orochimaru, I also want you two to do some discreet wall checking because I get the feeling that there might be trouble sooner than last time and we need the walls secure enough to buy everyone time"
"That makes sense, anything else while you're at it?"
"Actually yeah, Iruka-sensei actually remembers the future so start making plans with him in regards to Academy protection"
"Will do"
Soon the mission to save Gaara was started and they actually succeeded this time in freeing Gaara. Time passed and soon it was time to meet up with Itachi again as well as Tobi because this time there was a mission with the two of them together and Team Kakashi, and Team Asuma who survived the attack by Hidan, though Asuma himself was seriously injured and would need time to recover enough to do duties again fully he had recovered enough to help with the war
"Kakashi I get Itachi you get Tobi?"
"Works for me Sasuke"
So the two quickly activate their Sharingan and help them remember the future which immediately stops the attack
"Kakashi I..."
"I know Obito"
"Sasuke..."
"Hey Itachi, by the way you're a full on Konoha shinobi again, Tsunade succeeded right around when Asuma died originally"
"That's good to hear, but I am staying with the Akatsuki I will best serve the war behind enemy lines"
"Same with me Kakashi, besides I'm already considered dead to everyone who doesn't remember the future"
"By the way Danzo?"
"Dead, he got killed by Hidan right before Hidan got to the location where Asuma was originally killed"
"Understood, hope to see you at the end of the war"
"Same here brother"
"Obito..."
"I know Kakashi, but like I said I am already considered dead to everyone who doesn't remember the future so if I die now at least no one knows the truth but you guys"
The war continued and slowly but surely the Akatsuki were beaten, Obito and Itachi did ultimately die behind enemy lines. They found out information about something that hadn't happened originally and decided that their time as spies was over and tried to get back to Konoha but were killed by the other Akatsuki members instead, though they did manage to get the information to Tsunade. At the end of the war Sai, Yamato, TenTen and Neiji were dead but everyone else survived. Once the war ended a few years went by and Tsunade stepped down to let Naruto become Hokage, and Naruto became one of the best Hokage's the village ever had once he was accepted despite his label as a Jinchuriki
"And that's basically the history of our Sixth Hokage, he went on to choose a wise successor shortly before his death fighting a new group that wanted to use demon hosts for their own purposes, the Hokage left the village in goods hands probably knowing that he either wouldn't make it back or if he did he would be physically incapable of leading any further and went out on his own to try and if not defeat the enemy then at least slow them down"
"Did they succeed Uzumaki-sensei?"
"Yeah he succeeded in slowing the enemy down long enough to prepare Suna and Konoha for trouble making sure that the village wouldn't be destroyed a second time"
The sensei with the same last name as the Sixth Hokage looked at the picture on their desk and smiled a sad smile and then dismissed the class. Once they didn't have students they picked up the picture and spoke
"You certainly were something else, weren't you grandpa?"
"Indeed he was"
The sensei turned and saw a familiar figure in the door
"Hinata-sensei..."
"I haven't been a sensei in a long time Kogana, as it is people were amazed I managed to be a ninja for as long as I was, but that was only thanks to research done by Tsunade-sama and Sakura"
"Sensei, why did grandpa leave grandma and us not find out about him until I was three?"
"For the simple reason of the fact that your grandfather didn't know about you guys until then, you see your grandmother was an assassin meant to kill your grandfather but ultimately couldn't do it, so instead while he was drugged she forced him to sleep with her and then made sure she would get pregnant with your mother. Your mother didn't find out the truth about your father until you were three when she read a message from your grandmother to her after your grandmother died"
"At least he knew about us, even if it was only for a short time"
"Indeed, at least he did get to know about you guys before his death"
"Thanks sensei"
"Kogana...what have I said about when we're in private?"
"Sorry Grandma, habit, by the way how's Boruto?"
"He's doing good, but is expecting his half brother in Sand for the annual ceremony this time"
"Oh that's why his mission was extended"
"Exactly"
"We'll have to see what the Hokage decides"
"True, very true, now then I have some friends I want to visit"
"Right"
Hinata left for the burial grounds where the rest of the Rookies, Team Gai, Yamato, Sai, Iruka, Jiraiya and Tsunade were buried. Hinata was the last person living who remembered the war. Most of the group who had survived the war had died on missions later in life, Tsunade and Sakura were the exception, Tsunade had died from an infected patient while Sakura had been killed had died while in Wave visiting their old clients saving a few people from drowning, getting hit in the head and drowning herself. The next day a few shinobi went to visit their comrades and discovered Hinata's body, examination discovered that Hinata had essentially died from old age giving about the end of an era
