And I am back with the next chapter of "Ninja: Civilian shinobi." So yeah, shocker end to the "Naruto" series. Now, onto the time skip saga!

Also, seeing as how you all thought the story was finished, my bad for the way I ended the chapter off with "the end. Peace" which is probably why you all thought "motherfucker just killed the MC off in a brutal way… The ass must die!" but yeah sorry.

Seriously, my bad. But it was for the plot to continue, as I have said, this Naruto wouldn't be getting any bloodlines or special abilities, hell, you will soon find out how his healing was created. So yeah, chill everyone, the story is still going… Seriously, I don't want another heart attack from everyone thinking the stories over. I still have the three years and shippuden arc to get through ya know.

"Well… At least the place is pretty I guess…" Muttered Naruto as he walked along the rather grassy plane he awoke on.

It had been… How long ago? He didn't know. But after he… Died… He had awoke in this place, and of course, like his thoughts, he woke up alone. No one waiting for him. Just a massive area that had the sound of rushing water and grass around him.

Looking up towards the sky, which happened to be the same shade of blue as his mindscape, the black haired genin began to walk towards the sound of rushing water, which wasn't all that far away.

As he walked, Naruto couldn't help but enjoy the peace and tranquillity he felt from the area, it just seemed to give a vibe of happiness and purity that reached him to his very soul.

Walking towards the sound of rushing water, the black haired genin gave out a small whistle as he walked, a joyful tune appearing from his throat as he continued onward towards his destination.

And when he finally arrived… He was pretty shocked to see what he had.

There sat two large pools… One a bright orange colour and the other a nice smooth silvery white. Attached to these pools was a smaller one that was connected slightly just under the middle, it gaining a small amount of water from the two larger pools.

But that wasn't all. The two pools then connected once more… Before falling down over the edge.

Apparently, he was on a waterfall hill. However, when he looked at the two lanes which connected to go over the edge, he noticed that the water seemed to simply… Stay, not moving the slightest at the opportunity to flow out of its compact state.

Curiosity getting the better of him, Naruto walked towards the orange coloured pool before slipping his hand in, not caring much for his sleeve if it accidently got wet at all.

To his surprise, he felt energised as he held his hand into the pool.

Taking his hand out from the orange coloured pool and inspecting it, Naruto gave his right hand an experimental grip, only to watch as a cracking sound ran through his hand, as if the bones in his hand had just been strengthened.

Giving a grin, Naruto took off all his cloths, leaving him in a pair of Kurama boxes, which he had gotten as to poke fun at Kurama, before jumping into the pool of orange coloured water, not really caring what it was in the least.

And as Naruto swam in the pool, he couldn't help but let out a laugh of joy as his body seemed to gain energy from the pool like that of plants towards the sun.

It felt amazing, it felt spectacular, it felt… Like it was a part of him.

He didn't know how long he had simply laid down on the water and swam around. But when he finally got out, he was shocked to find that he wasn't wet as he thought he would be. But he was still feeling the energy his body seemingly absorbed from the swim.

Taking a glance towards the silver pool, Naruto gave a grin before doing a flip into it, making the sound of a splash as he sank into the depths of the silvery white pool.

And as he sank, Naruto felt his body crack and relax, like he was getting a massage that fixed any and all wounds he had on him.

Funny that he had to be dead to feel this.

As Naruto swam within the silver coloured water, he couldn't help but mentally go over how each of the pools felt. The orange one was bursting with uncontrolled energy, something like a chakra cloak if he had to guess, while the silver one felt nice and controlled, like nice lake that would gently take you down a river.

Overall, the two felt amazing, the warm and uncontrollable energy that seemed to be the orange one, and the cool and gentle silver one.

Floating on the top of the silver lake, Naruto sent his eyes towards the small pool that was a mixture of the two pools, which, had created a lighter orange with a mixture of silver white water infused with it in a spiralling motion.

Giving a small grin, the teen slowly got out of the silver pool, not wanting to lose the amazing feeling the water had on his body, before walking over towards the much smaller pool of water and easing himself into it, with the water reaching up to his chest.

And when he got in? By kami he didn't know there was a better feeling than what he thought was a perfect place.

The uniqueness, the actual full blown peace of the two waters fusing, the happiness and soothing properties he felt towards the two pools before melted perfectly into the small pool.

"Oh kami… I think I wouldn't mind being dead if I can stay here…" Muttered Naruto as he sunk his head into the water up to just under his nose…

Wait…

Opening his eyes, Naruto came upon the sight of the water rising as he sat within the pools, hell, the only reason why he didn't realise that the other two had increased in size was because they were already large enough to not notice a change.

Suddenly, Naruto felt something shift beneath his feet as the water finally completely covered him from head to toe, and just as it did…

The ground crumbled away, causing Naruto, along with the water, to fall a great distance before landing into an empty pool, in which, began to fill itself up as the water Naruto had sat and rested in fell down from the original pool up above.

Now, when Naruto landed, he had thought that his ass would be getting a massive surge of pain running through it, not absolutely nothing, which he was happy for, but when he did sit down, he realised something.

As he was getting drenched in the orange and silver pool, he never actually took any time to search through the empty pool that was supposed to fall down from the waterfall connection to the pool just in front of him.

So, reluctantly standing up and moving away from the pool that was slowly starting to fill itself up, the red eyed genin walked around from behind the supposed waterfall before climbing back up the hill towards where all the pools originally were.

Moving towards the one closest to him, which happened to be the empty one, Naruto stood upon the edge for a moment before sliding down into it, using the edge of the pool as a small slide.

When Naruto had stood within the centre of the empty pool, he couldn't help but feel as if he should be doing something. Something like filling it up with the two other pools like the one what now had its own smaller waterfall pool that was building up from behind this one.

So, seeing as he had nothing else to do, Naruto began to walk towards the two larger pools before scooping up a handful of water from each, the orange and silver/white one, before tilting his hands sidewards, sending the liquid down onto the floor… Before the two started to mix as they fell, turning into what appeared to be a completely white liquid…

Squatting down, the black haired genin looked at the liquid with curiosity before sticking a single finger into the now white puddle of water…

Before jerking his hand back in shock.

Was that-?

"ONII-CHAN! WAKE UP ALREADY BAKA!" Came a shout, startling Naruto as he moved his head from side to side, absently noticing the small thin trails of water flooding into the once empty pool.

Narrowing his eyes, Naruto continued to move his head, completely weirded out from the experience.

However, just as the first shout, the area started to shake, sending Naruto onto his ass as his vision began to shake.

"BAKA, BAKA, BAKA, BAKA, BAKA, BAKA-ONIICHAN!" Came out another shout, which then caused the ground Naruto was sitting on to change… Into a white area with floating white particles.

When Naruto saw this, he widened his eyes in shock. He wasn't dead? Just in another part of his mind? But, how?

He simply couldn't answer it as his vision began to shake once more, however, this time darkness began to take over his field of view before completely shrouding him.

As he was shrouded, Naruto felt his eyes become heavy by the second before finally, any once of strength and will left, him. Leaving him in a completely peaceful state as he fell asleep…

Before he suddenly snapped his eyes open and saw a small brown haired girl, probably around 7, jumping on his gut. Not noticing in the slightest as Naruto opened his eyes.

Giving the small girl who was jumping on his stomach repeatedly a small once over, which made him internally shiver at the thought, Naruto came upon the sight of the small girl who had short brown hair that reached her chin with a fringe that covered a majority of her small forehead before covering small bits of her emerald green coloured eyes.

Naruto refused to travel his eyes further down, as he noticed that the girl was wearing something similar towards PJ's, and he did not want people to know why he was able to give a very good description of the girl and her rather tomboy like appearance.

Shaking his head slightly, Naruto gave the jumping girl a small grin before moving his jaw a bit. It felt rather… unused along with most of his body… But for some reason… It felt great, better than it did before.

Coughing slightly, which drawn in the attention of the jumping girl, Naruto gave the small child a cheeky grin.

"Aren't you supposed to jump on beds?" Asked Naruto, getting a blank stare from the girl as she looked at him for a few moments… Before jumping off the bed and screaming as she ran around in circles.

"NOOOO! ONII-CHAN SAW ME JUMP ON HIM! HE'S GONNA GET PAYBACK ON ME!" Screamed the girl as she ran in a few more circles before tripping and landing face first onto the ground, much to Naruto's amusement… And shock as he saw a small spirit pop out of her mouth and hover in the air for a moment.

Suddenly, Naruto heard a small chuckle come from the front of the room, which drew in his attention towards the now laughing woman who had a similar facial pattern to that of the screaming tomboy, however, the main difference was both the longer hair, reaching just above the ends of her shoulder blades, and the two blue eyes staring at him.

"Hello there stranger-kun. How do you feel?" Asked the woman, causing Naruto to push himself up into a sitting position, not really noticing the bandages wrapped around his whole body as he stretched his neck.

"Kinda sore, but mostly fine. I'm guessing you were the ones who found my body after I got washed away from the valley of the end?" Asked Naruto as he vaguely remembered his body being thrown into the water which then dragged him in.

Getting out of his thoughts, he saw the rather surprised look on the woman's face as he stared at him.

"You drifted from the valley of the end to here? Do you even know where you are?" Asked the woman, causing the black haired genin to scratch his head with a grin.

"No clue whatsoever." Replied Naruto with a chuckle as the woman's jaw had dropped down in pure shock.

Shaking her head, the woman released a small sigh before gaining a small smile.

"Very well. Then. I should probably introduce both me and my daughter, and if I can be so bold, extend my hand in a place for you to stay should you require. My name is Migumi Fuki and the little child trying to now bit your leg that's beneath the covers is my daughter Uroka Fuki. Please to meet you." Replied the woman, giving a small bow, one of which Naruto returned in his current state.

Giving a grin, Naruto gave the woman a small wink as he held little Uroka's head away from his leg with his right hand which had slipped under the covers.

"My names Naruto, no last name, and I used to be a farmer near konoha." Replied Naruto, gaining a small smile from the woman who nodded.

Looking down at his form once more, Naruto looked back up towards Migumi before scratching his head slightly.

"I would also appreciate the housing if possible. I don't think my body will be well enough to get me back to konoha, but I think I can easily help around here." Replied Naruto getting a shining smile from the woman in return as she held her hands together.

"That would be amazing. Thank you Naruto-san. It would be a big help having a strong looking male help out my daughter and me." Returned the woman, gaining a small smile from the teen as he waved the thanks off.

"No worries, I probably would have been… Asleep a lot longer than I would have hadn't I been saved." Replied Naruto, noticing that Uroka's face popping out from under the covers with a scowl.

Seeing this, Naruto sent his eyebrow up.

"What's wrong Uroka? Did big bad Naruto stop you from biting him?" Asked Naruto with a grin, only to get jumped on by the girl as she began to hit his head.

"Shut up Naruto-nii-san!" Replied the small girl with a scowl on her tiny face, drawing a laugh from Naruto and Migumi.

Unknown to Naruto, he would be stuck there for three weeks, time simply going past him as he enjoyed his stay with the family a bit too much as it became harder and harder for him to simply leave due to the warmth he gained from the pair.

During his time there, Naruto had come upon the startling information regarding how long he had been "hibernating" with the Fuki family, which was apparently over 3 months with them not knowing how long he had been adrift the sea, but thanks to the good old calendar… Naruto realised he missed his birthday as it was October 29th when he awoke, over four months had he been unconscious, a single month of that was simply drifting in the sea and somehow surviving.

It was during this period, Naruto would feel some random surges of the water energy he had felt within his apparent mindscape at certain points, strengthening and healing him at the same time, along with those he was touching or having interactions with during those moments… Not a good combination as he felt the rather energised orange energy go into Uroka, causing the little girl to bounce around for over three hours straight with the following days having more energy than she usually did.

Another thing he found out was… His chakra… Wasn't the same as it once was… And he barely had enough to be able to do the leaf chakra control. Meaning he lost everything he had worked hard for during his time as a genin of konoha.

But, when he felt the energy, it gave off a similar feel to that of his other energies, making it, his chakra, seem like a true part of himself. Like it wasn't originally created from someone else and passed down onto him.

This was another reason why Naruto hadn't returned to konoha as fast as he thought he would. Without his chakra being at suitable levels, it would take him a longer time to reach konoha, along with a boat since he had drifted wwweeeellllll away from the main part of the elemental nations, he had in fact landed on the wolf country where Migumi and Uroka had went on a small vacation, in which, seeing as how no-one was around them and he was apparently alive (and left in his boxers since the water ate up his cloths), decided to take him with them towards the marsh section of the large land, being right in the middle of the country where the countries of wolf, forest, neck and valley surrounded them.

After that, Naruto began to help Uroka, who, had apparently been helping her mother with growing fruits and vegetables for the town only a couple of minutes away, so, when he had told them he was a farmer, they couldn't believe their luck at finding someone who could help them.

And Naruto being Naruto, couldn't help but release a small relieved sigh when he remembered how he had studied up on just about anything civilian during his free time in the academy so that he could pass off as any type of person.

Releasing a small sigh, Naruto rubbed the sweat off his forehead with his long white sleeve shirt before giving a grin as he turned his head back towards a small seven year old finishing up on planting some seeds on the ground.

"Yo Uroka-chan! Wanna head towards the market for lunch? I'm sure you're hungry from all the work." Shouted Naruto, gaining a small nod from the girl as she stared up towards him with a smile.

"Yea! Let's go nii-chan!" Shouted the girl in reply as she bolted over towards her older brother before she jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck with Naruto holding her thighs as he gave the farm a quick glance, making sure everything was in place before walking off towards the farm house so that Migumi could also tag along with the two.

It wasn't long before the trio, with Migumi agreeing, were joyfully talking down the street as they headed down towards the market with smiles on their faces.

As they reached the market, the trio sat themselves down at a normal noodle bar before gaining their food, enjoying the taste along with the people around them, the small group made idle chatter, with Uroka being the loudest.

And as they enjoyed their food… A shout soon broke them from their chatter.

"HELP! THESE KUNOICHI'S ARE TRYING TO KILL ME!" Shouted a voice, belonging to that of a fourteen year old like Naruto with black hair.

Snapping his eyes towards the teen, Naruto watched as a hail of kunai raced towards the teen, aimed directly for major blood vessels and organs with a large amount being instant kill shots.

Lowering his head slightly, Naruto shut his eyes.

He could go there and help the teen out, but that would be exposing his skills and he didn't know how Migumi and Uroka would react.

But then, the image of the man with tears streaming down his face with fear held within his eyes appeared on Naruto's head.

He had the abilities, chakra-less or not, to be able to at least give the man some more time to run away. And add in the fact that his healing, which he didn't know if it was still there or not, would most likely heal him if it still worked.

So there was a high chance of him surviving if he were to go out and help the teen.

Now this dilemma happened in the span of a single second with Naruto making his choice in the second after the first.

Giving the two besides him a small smile, naruto quickly moved from his seat before appearing in the path of the kunai with a single butcher knife he yanked from the counter of the noodle place.

The sounds of multiple kinks rang throughout the now silenced area as Naruto stood in front of the still sobbing teen as he laid on the floor with his arms over his head.

Turning his own head slightly, Naruto snapped the teen out from his own fear.

"Yo, if I were you I would start running you know." Spoke Naruto, gaining a small nod from the teen on the floor as he dashed off, the Kunoichi seeing this, attempted to move forward, only to have Naruto appear in their path with a grin on his face.

Sure it took a while for his body to remember how to function and fight, but after a few midnight training sessions and a whole lot of farming, he was able to regain most of his abilities to just under what he had before his… Near death?

And then add in the whole mindscape training he did twice a week so that he could rest, Naruto was able to make his tiny amount of chakra way more potent than his original amount as it was in the smaller scale of chakra size. Still being, while potent, just under a Genin's amount.

The three kunoichi in front of him, completely covered with a cloak and mask, most likely gave him a glare as the leader of the trio, being slightly taller than the other two, spoke up.

"Boy… Get out of our way! That… That pig dare tried to not only deflower our leader's daughter, but also try to get her to fall in love with him without defeating her as per our village's traditions! Should you not move, we will kill you?" Replied the cloaked women, causing Naruto to narrow his eyes towards the male which had not taken his original advice to run AWAY from the area, all the teen did was hide behind a post barely a few feet away from him.

Staring at the teen, Naruto caught sight of the fear within the male's eyes before releasing a small sigh before turning his attention back towards the masked ninja.

"Seems you are correct if what his eyes tell me are true… But to kill him for that? While deflowering a kage's or leader's daughter is rather a high rule on the "not to do" scale, but to execute him for it? When he hadn't even done it is a bit extreme. And considering you are ninja's, couldn't you simply ban him from your area?" Asked Naruto, getting nothing but silence from the trio before the leader nodded to one of the ninja's to the right, this one being the shortest of the group being around 5'4, two inches smaller than his own height.

And like that, Naruto found himself twisting his head slightly as a kunai blitzed past his cheek, only to get caught in his left hand by the handle.

Turning his eyes towards the people in the district, Naruto gave them a stern stare.

"Everyone! Get out of here! I have no clue what these kunoichi's are capable of! Please escape with all your family!" Shouted Naruto, watching as a majority began to run off after the teen had broken the silence with a few being a bit reluctant, mainly those who have shops against the streets they were in, while a few stayed there to watch the fight.

Noticing that both Migumi and Uroka were standing still with their eyes widened in shock, Naruto shook his head.

"Migumi! Uroka-chan! Run away!" Shouted Naruto, watching as that shout snapped them away from their shock and into the mindset of escape as the two left, with some reluctance as they took glances of Naruto before they disappeared in the crowd.

Suddenly, Naruto snapped into a crouch before stabbing the butcher knife into the ground and then springing into a kick, which then sent the assailant flying away further as Naruto smashed his foot against their hips, propelling them into a building wall.

Watching as the body went through the wall, Naruto turned his attention back towards the two taller kunoichi, only to dodge a barrage of kunai being sent towards him from the hole in the wall.

Blocking with both the kunai and butcher knife, Naruto suddenly felt the butcher knife start to crack. Seeing this, the red eyed teen quickly jumped into the air before flicking his wrist, sending the knife towards the hole where he watched the small masked kunoichi rush out before the sound of an explosion rang throughout the clearing.

Just because his chakra was small currently, it didn't mean he couldn't use it. So his explosive seals he could create became something that he cherished.

Landing on the ground, Naruto sprinted towards his enemy, who, had a flinched slightly as he appeared right in front of their face.

Giving a small glare, Naruto brought his unarmed hand towards the woman's face before slamming it against the mask, shattering it as the person's body flew and skid along the ground, appearing once more above the skidding body, Naruto sent his heel down into the person's ribs, stopping them from flying away any further and instead deep into the ground with a small crater appearing beneath them.

Quickly getting on the back of the ninja, Naruto held the kunai towards the top of the girls head while focusing his vision on the two taller ninja's.

"What will you do now? Will you leave both the village and the male teen alone? Or will you risk your teammate's life!" Shouted Naruto as he edged the kunai's tip closer towards the enemy Nin's head.

However, to his surprise, the two ninja's simply began to clap.

"It seems Shizuka-sama has found her husband. Congratulations ninja." Replied the tallest one of the group as she continued to clap.

Blinking, Naruto tilted his head in curiosity.

"What?"

And there is this chapter, beginning the three year time skip. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter and I will see you all later.
