DISCLAIMER:I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ANY OF IT'S CHARACTERS BUT I DO OWN THE PLOT OF THIS STORY.
AN:Yo guys!,it's bine a while,look i'm sorry it took so long but I've got good news!. i did entire story.i know exactly how everything from the beginning to the end is going to go an my god! Is this going to be a long story!.
Now just some reminders this is NOT a bashing,harem or Mary sue fanfic.
This is and always will be about the butterfly effect and how one action no matter how small or dumb effects the possible might be how the story began but at this point in the story he's just as expendable as everyone else in the story.
with all the small changes he's made in this time-line that WILL eventually turn into big changes on their own meaning soon it will no longer be considered the same universe as the original time-line,there would of just bine too many changes by the end of the story.
Also, Choji is not a hero or chosen one super not even close.
He's just one guy with an fat complex with a 50-50 chance of happening future knowledge and his clans jutsu
no will of fire or bloodline not even average speed for regular ninja's.
What im trying to say is all the cards are stacked against him and he knows it...but he will keep trying not because he thinks he has the power to fix everything and that everything will be alright.
he knows he probably wont survive this an he should just give up before he gets killed again but...it's because he's the only one to ever get the oppertunity for another only one of countles milions who had begged and preyed for a chance to redo all their misstacks and failures in life,so he can't be self needs to step up his game but not for himself but for everyone who was never given a chance to do-over their mistacks and make a better world.
It wont be easy,hell!,its probably impossible,but my god is that fat bastered gonna try...
wha..what?
He cant be serious right?she might be a cluts but even she could tell where this was going.
To go up against that many bad guys just by yourself is crazy,he'll get killed!this has to be a joke right..a big dumb joke that he was playing right?
Those where the thoughts of a shocked Fu when Choji Akamichi had demanded the location of the entrance to the village hidden in the waterfalls,but no it was not a jest or misunderstanding,by the hard look on his young pudgy face Choji was not joking around and was actually proposing to go into the village and perform a suicide/rescue mission that even a dense girl like her knew would end in total failure and...dier consequences for those involved.
This was insane!,she just made a friend and now he was going to get himself killed!,she had to stop this before it started!.
"what are you talking about boss?. Why would you want to know that,just stay here like lord Shibuki said and wait it out till the village ninja's come back from their missions everything will be fine" she said while trying her hardest to smile as she blatantly lies to Choji and silently prayed to kami that he would listen to her and not walk off to his to death,but her disappointment it didn't sway him in the slightest and he still prest on for the location of the entrance.
"just let the jonin ninja's handle it when they get back Boss,they will stop the bad guys for us so we should really just wait"she said almost desperately as her fake smile of reassurance started to break more and more with each word.
"Fu this is serious,people's lives are on the line here,both my comrades and your villagers lives,i don't have time to waste here,i need to go and help them now while they still have time!"choji said
"why.."Fu said soddenly changing then mood to a more tense feeling.
"why?!,what do you mean why!,people are in trouble and they need help that's why!"shouted Choji not believing he had to explain why he had to save the hostages and his own teammates from execution.
"no i mean why should you care" she corrected herself in a bizarrely cold tone that greatly reminded him of the day before in the cave when they first officially meet,all the bubblyness was gone and it felt colder all of a sodden.
"what?"he said very confused.
"why would you care so much about people you barely even know and a village you never even bin to before" she continued in her cold tone with any trace of her smile wiped clean off her face as she stared back at choji's suppressed eyes with her hard questioning one.
oh how the tables have turned!.
It seemed choji wasn't the the only one disturbed by Fu's sudden change in personality as both shibuki and even young nako where staring at her in shock although Shibuki seemed to be less shocked than nako as if he suspected this sort of reaction from her some how.
"you told me your self"she continued. "they were just using you to fill in a spot for their sick teammate,they don't really care about you, they didn't even stop to look for you when we where stuck in the cave last night and as for the village their even worse!,you don't owe them anything so why would you risk your life for those ungrateful bastard humans!"she finished with a angry shout that scared little nako even more causing him to hug choji's leg even harder.
"Fu it doesn't matter how bad people are or how badly you my think of them,i know it sounds clechie but in life and death situations whatever problems you have with someone you have to put it aside and help! Which is what I'm going to do"he shouted back frustrated and confused on why Fu would say such things.
This made her even more mad as she got up from the ground and walked over to Choji and then with her surprisingly amazing strength grabbed him by his shirt collar and lifted him off the ground even taking nako up with him as he was still clenching on choji' leg but it didn't seem to make a difference as both him and choji where suspended half a foot in air by Fu who seemed to be doing this with ease as Choji struggled to pull her arms away but they seemed to have a iron like grip on him and wouldn't budged as her hard stare stayed locked on to his.
"look at you,you can't even beat me and you plan on fighting ninja's that captured the entire village"she shouted at him as he still struggled to break free. "do you even have a plan huh,were you just about to jump in their with your fist raised and expect to win!".
"i..i have to try..i just have to"he croaked out.
"And what get killed like a pig running into a slaughter!"
If it was possible Fu got even madder "i don't get it!,whats wrong with you!. you get nothing out of this and every thing to loose why are you doing this!"she said with her voice starting to crack and her grip on him starting to loosen as small tear's started to fall from her eye's.
"why..be the hero when your rescuing villains?" she said silently to herself probably not expecting Choji to hear her but he did.
It made him stop his struggling for a second and look back at his moral values that had guided him throwout both this current life and the one before.
Why was he the him now...
current time lines 4 years ago in konaha
"again!,we lost again"shouted an upset 8 year old who's team had once again had lost at a children's game called playing ninja.
"its all fat Akamichi's fault,he's always getting caught first because he's to slow too run and too big to hide" said another boy.
"yeah,any team that has him on looses everytime,lets just play without him guy's"said the first boy who had all the other boys agreeing with him in removing choji from the game.
While this was going on a young 8year old Choji was just watching this feeling rejected and he was not wanted among his peers Choji walked away in sadness when he noticed something it was a blue butterfly and it was trapped in a spiders web,out of pure kindness Choji reached out and pulled out the butterfly and set it free.
1 hour later
Choji was sitting down on a bench with his father choza telling him about the bad day he was having and how all the other children made fun of him.
"and they said all Akamichi are fat and slow"choji finished dejectedly to his father.
"i see" he said back to his son,he wasn't by nature a very serious man but when it came to family especially his son he had to think his words throw and not say or make rash actions,he smiled gently at his son.
"well then,let me tell you something son,non of those boys have as kind of heart as you do"
"huh"choji said in confusion.
"someday" choza continued "you will have a group of real friends that see the quality inside you and respect you for it"he said.
"but"he said again in a serious tone. "that's only if you respect yourself and your decisions in life even if the chips are down and everyone else is in the opposite direct remember to always be yourself and stick to what YOU believe in and not what others enforce you to believe, people forget this and are often lead astray down dark paths and almost never return to what they once were"
he pats his son on the head with an even bigger smile. "but you my boy are special,not many people have a moral compass like yours,so no matter what i know you will always make the RIGHT choice but not because it was good or bad but because it was YOUR choice, you live by this and stick to your gut you will find true friends that you can believe in and in turn they will believe in you."
choji's eye's widened and looked back at his father in shock at the faith he had in him.
"re-really" he asked.
"yes choji"choza answered. "never change my son even if the very world flips upside down and your backs against the ropes, keep fighting for your decisions and belief's ,that along with your kind heart and i promise you,you will overcome every obstickle"
"in fact choji" he said with his eye's turning to the clouds with a fond expression on his face. "
"i'm looking forward for the day when i can fight alongside you Choji."
flash back end
"it's..it's because..it's my decision to make and i will always stick by my decisions no matter what,it's my nindo my ninja way "Choji finally said to Fu who still had him and nako suspended in the air.
"even if you die?!"shouted Fu one more time.
Choji just did a forced smirk "i'd rather of lived my life and die knowing I did what i thought was right instead of living my life filled with regrets and what if's that would drive me crazy"
at this Fu could not take it anymore and dropped Choji. "well fine!,go get out of here an die like a pig!,see if i care!"all the while she said that she had tear's pouring down her face at the thought of him dying.
After dusting himself off from the short fall he realized he wasn't going to get much else from Fu so he turned to Shibuki for answers.
"lord Shibuki where is the entrance"choji demanded.
"i cant tell you"Shibuki said solemnly.
"what!"shouted Choji.
"the village's entrance is a closely guarded secret and key for the protection of the village we cant go giving the location of the entrance to outsiders even if their alies" he finish with his eye's casted down not daring to look at choji's direction.
"but lord shibuki!,my family,we have to save them and everyone else in the village before tomorrow or they will start executing them,please!"pleaded nako.
"that's enough nako!" shouted shibiki silencing nako.
"it is the sacred duty of the all the members of the hidden waterfall to keep the village entrance secret at all cost even at the risk of our lives!,do you understand now that even if some die as long as the rules and traditions are kept as it has always been they would not have died in vain but for the good of the village"shibuki finished.
"see it all makes sense now doesn't it nako,if the village ninja arrive back too late then your father and a minor few would of just have sacrificed their lives for the greater good of the whole village,they would be hero's of the village not tragedies , you do want your father to be known as a hero right nako?"
nako didn't know what to say,the way the chief put it somehow made it sound like it was a good thing he was going to be orphaned by tomorrow and that people dying was somehow for the good of the village,to be the son of a hero was the dream of every boy and the title would be very tempting for any child but the price...the chief was basically asking him to choose between his father and a title...
"come on nako,you know I'm right so just wait it out here with us-he pointed to both himself and the still crying Fu- and everything will be fine,I'm sure your father and the villagers will understand that a few sacrifice's need to be made for the greater good of the village so what do you say?"he said with one hand reached out to nako.
Nako still could not believe what was being villager's lives,scarifies for the village?,it didn't sit right with him but then again he was a child and lord Shibuki was the Chief so maybe this was the right thing and maybe he was just too young to understand maybe he-
"No"
"what!" came shibuki's voice at Choji's no.
Choji with hit fists clenched walked over to Shibuki with his eye's shadowed by his head band and a grim frown on his face.
"what do you mean no!,this discussion doesn't even have anything to do with you konaha-ninja,I am the leader of this villager and you have no say in what i tell him or anyone here to do"shouted Shibuki as he subconsciously clenched the Hero's water hard to himself.
"you know"said Choji silently. "their are a lot of bad people out there in the world,murderers,rapists,people that get off on torturing others but you are something special"choji leaned down and made sure to have full eye contact with the shivering Shibuki. "your the type of guy that would use and abuse the trust your comrade's and villagers have in you and then just leave them to die to save yourself."his eye's hardened even more. "that's not called being a leader,that's called being a coward"
shibuki flinched at his harsh but truthful words.
"but to make matters even worse you sit here trying to convince a child that it's a good thing to turn his back to his own family and tell him it's for some so called 'good of the village'.for people like that the only title their worthy of is SCUM not coward!"
turning away from the shivering pathetic man choji walked back over to nako with a reassuring smile. "alright little buddy,its gonna be okay,just take my throw the entrance and all take care of it can you do that for me?"
nako nodded while wiping away his tear's "ye-yeah,it's this way ,lets go!" he said pointing to a direction deeper in the cave and started running over to it. Choji was about to follow him but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.
"please..don't go,you'll just get killed" pleaded Fu one last time as she held onto him begging him not to just smiled and shrugged off her hand and raised his in a thumbs up and said "no can do,like i said i made my decision,beside"he said while turning back to the direction nako ran to. "whats the point in living if your filled with regrets and what if's"An with that he took off into the direction nako went leaving both Fu and Shibuki only with their thoughts.
I..am scum? Thought Shibuki his head down and his teeth gritted in self loathing.
Boss..Choji..you..thought Fu as she clenched his white scarf that she still had around her neck.
deeper in the cave we find both nako and Choji surround by small pools of water,apparently one of them was the entrance to the village mean that in order to get in and out of the village one would have to swim in a underground current to get there.
"this is it?" ask choji as they both stared at the biggest one and were about to dive in"
"yeah"answered nako timidly.
"okay lets go" said Choji with false bravado to cheer up nako even thow he was having second thoughts himself.
so they dived in head first into the chilled for a long distances was not a new experience for choji,it honestly reminded him of his old Academy days training when they had him and his old class mate's trained for weeks on how to hold our breath longer than the average civilian tho it would seen that the civilians here in the land of waterfall had some form of that training as well seeing how nako was doing just fine being under water for so long. 7mins of swimming later nako finally gave him a signal with his finger pointed upward that they had made it to the village and it was time surface the water.
When they broke trow the water surface the first thing Choji did was make sure they headed for cover so they silently swam over to the biggest thing they could find for a good hiding place which just so happends to be the roots of a gigantic getting there back their breaths and making certain the cost was clear choji got down to business,only a moron would rush into this without having some idea what he was getting into so he asked nako what was the state of the village and how many bad guys they had to take down.
He complied and told him all that he where about 9 ronins here, 2 of them are probably guarding the captured villagers and his teammates,6 of them were probably patrolling the village for anyone they missed and the last one the boss of the whole attack was some ex-ninja from here which would explain how they got in the village in the first place and that he was at lest Chonin level which would be a huge obstacle to Choji and that's only IF he makes it that far.
They didn't even have much time as the sun was setting and they had till morning to save everyone.
The fate of an entire village rests in the hands of a civilian child and a chubby reluctant timetraveler with a less than half-assed plan.
Yup,their screwed.

AN:
yes i'm back an im so sorry for the wait.i'll try to make my updates much earlier than that for the future now recap time.
holy shit so much character development in such a short chapter!.
we now know choji's reason for his determination to see this throw to the end and why he's such a good guy. even if the world royally fucks him over he keeps sticking to his ninja way.
An i'm not bashing Shibuki either,he is very clearly a coward in the anime and doesn't start to change his ways until the filler arc.
and Fu now some of you are gonna think she was being out of character and your wrong,you see Fu or atlest the Fu in my fanfic wants to make friends but is hated by her very home for just have the 7tails inside of her which make's her bitter to the people of her village and most humans in general which is why she can't understand why choji would wan to save any of them.
Fu's not a bad girl she's just complicated..really complicated..goodlord imagine her as a teenager!.
but all jokes aside this will be the start of choji's true trail's in his second life.
well he survive on his own...he doesn't have snow balls chance in hell.
see yah next time.
