Izanagi, a special technique specific to sharingan. Based off the Creation of All Things technique, it gives the user the ability to cast a genjutsu on reality itself, forcing it to conform with what you want. Because I also had the Creation of All Things technique, it won't take as much chakra for me to do this as it would anyone else. That being said, I was trying to do this on such a large scale that I would still use up almost all of my chakra and still might not manage to save everyone.

To make it easier on myself, I would have to start with the people who died most recently. The thousands of people who died in this war wouldn't take as much chakra as my brothers, who had died very long ago. The recently reanimated ninjas shouldn't take too long, either. Their souls had only recently left. After activating the technique, it didn't take more than a thought to bring back everyone who died fighting this war.

Obitobi had died most recently, so I tried to revive him next. Unfortunately, he didn't want to come back. He was happy to have died the way he did and wanted some alone time with Rin, which he told me himself. It seemed that I would materialize in front of the people who needed convincing.

"Can you do something else for me instead? Can you give Bakashi my eyes permanently?"

"Sure! I'll tell him they're from you!"

I might want to bring Obito back, but it would take up a lot of chakra to do it against his will. It would also be very cruel, forcing him to come back when he obviously didn't want to. So, I did as he asked, a little better, actually. I gave Kakashi his sharingan, as well as complete control over them, also making them Eternal Mangekyo at the same time.

Then, I was yanked along to the next person. This time, I stood in front of Dan, Lady Tsunade's love. This confused me, I was sure he would want to come back.

"What's wrong? Why dont you want to come back?"

"Are you sure it would work out if I came back? Tsunade is over fifty now, and most likely already over me. It would just hurt her if I came back now, and I could never do that to her."

I smiled at him reassuringly. "She never got over you. She still loves you now, and it would probably hurt her more if everyone but you came back."

I knew I convinced him with that, because I vanished on to the next person. Tsunade would have quite the surprise. I had made her 25 again, so she could spend a lifetime together with Dan, just like she had wanted to. Age changes took almost no chakra, much less than even a normal clone.

The next person was actually a group. Nagato and Yahiko stood in front of me. Konan hadn't died in the war, and was back in reality with the celebrating ninja. I could guess why Nagato and Yahiko didn't want to come back. They felt they had messed the world up too much, and didn't deserve the second chance. Before they had a chance to talk, I gave them a very good reason to come back.

"Did you know, there is going to be peace for many years after this war? But, eventually, another villain bent on destroying the world shows up and destroys almost everything."

(I had seen a few episodes of Boruto, which had shown Konoha and the Kage Faces destroyed. With the strong alliances at the time, the other villages must have been destroyed as well.)

"We need as many people as we can to keep the peaceful future safe. As major reasons behind this war, its only right that you halp prevent the next one. Besides, Konan misses you both terribly, but is willing to keep living to protect what you three valued so much."

Yahiko disappeared almost as soon as I said Konan was still alive and missed them. His longing to be with her and his love for her overrode his unwillingness to live. Nagato left right after him, wanting to protect his friends and make amends for his wrongdoings, I made the other two be 15 again, the same age as Yahiko.

I smiled, feeling several more people come back without issues. Gaara's mom, Nawaki (Tsunade's little brother), Yashamaru, Neji, Haku and Zabuza (neither of whom truely wanted to die in the first place), Utakata, Fuu, and Jiraiya, who I also made younger.

Then, I was in front of someone I had wanted to save from the beginning, but failed to do so: Itachi Uchiha. I knew he still felt that he didn't deserve to come back, still regretted so much that happened in his life, still loved his brother with all his heart. I knew that this time I would have to save him, whether he wanted me to or not. He most likely wouldn't believe he was needed and wanted until he saw proof of it. I would still try to convince him first. It would save me a lot of chakra.

"Why are you trying to bring me back again? You know perfectly well why I don't want to live again."

"You might think that Sasuke will be fine on his own as long as he has Naruto to straighten him out, but he needs you. In the future, he is married and has a daughter, but they go years at a time without seeing each other. He feels so guilty for killing you and attacking Konoha that he lives a nomadic life, searching for possible enemies outside Konoha, to try to make amends. He refuses to go home even when Naruto asks him to come back."

"He was so used to putting the blame on others that, now that he realizes it was his fault, he goes way too far in basically punishing himself. You never got to have your own family or see your children playing and learning to be ninja, so he believes he doesn't deserve too. After all, if his Itachi-nii, who was so much better, kinder, and stronger than he is, doesn't have something, neither should he."

"He blames himself for believing your story, for not seeing their was something wrong, for killing you without even trying to hear your side of the story, and he never believes people when they say he couldn't have known. Without you there, he doesn't know where to stop."

His daughter doesn't really even know who he is. I mean, he almost kills her the first time they meet outside of Konoha, that's how little they know each other. He didn't even know what she looked like! Sasuke needs you."

Itachi looked at me in shock. I had ranted for so long about someone I truely cared very little about, all because I knew what I said would convince him. He seemed so surprised that Sasuke would need him and blame himself for so much. He was sceptical, though, because I could just be saying whatever I wanted, whether it was true or not. I knew how much he loved his brother. He'd be willing to do anything for him.

"Do you swear that what you said was true? Sasuke really still needs me?"

"I swear on my life." I answered, seriously. "Sasuke might not come out and say it, but he does need you."

With that said, Itachi also vanished, coming back to life. It was much smoother sailing after that. Sai's brother came back willingly, as did Minato, Kushina, Shisui, the Aburame and Yamanaka who were forced Root members, and Gaara's dad (who I could feel longing to make up for how terrible he had been to his son).

Lastly, I sensed the souls of my brothers, lingering at the edge, not seeming sure about whether to come or not. Like with all the others who were unsure, I appeared in front of them. I ran up and gave them a hug as soon as I appeared.

"I missed you so much! Ever since I got my memories back I've longed to see you again! Will you please come back with me? I want you to be there to see me get married."

"You still want us to be there? After all the trouble and fighting we caused? And what do you mean 'see you get married'? You're much too young!" Asura said, Indra nodding along with him.

"First off, you're my brothers, of course I love you and want you around! Secondly, I'm 18, a year older than you were when you got married, Asura, so don't go around saying I'm too young to get married. Gaara loves me, and I love him too, so we're going to get married. I want you to meet Sai as well. He was like a brother to me when I couldn't remember you, still is, actually. And I do want all my brothers there when I get married. So, will you come or will I be left disappointed?"

"We're going to come." Asura answered.

"After all, we need to be there to help this Sai torture Gaara if he ever does anything to hurt you."

With that, they vanished as well. Suddenly, I was back in my own body. Everything had only taken a second in real time, so I still got to see the looks of surprise and joy on many people's faces. I couldn't see out of my left eye anymore, but it was totally worth it. Kuruma and the others gave me a boost of their chakra, sensing how low I was. Smiling, I turned back to Naruto.

"Happy birthday, Naru!"

He smiled in elation, pulling me into a quick, tight hug before running off toward Minato and Kushina, shouting "Mom, Dad!"

Everyone else took off toward their revived loved ones, even Sasuke ran to Itachi, squeezing him in a desperate hug. Asura and Indra both came toward me, hugging me fiercely. When they let go, I started swaying. Even with the help of my furry etc. friends, I could feel the chakra exhaustion weighing me down. They quickly moved to either side of me, holding me up. Gaara, who had been with his parents and uncle, noticed my condition and ran over too me.

"Are you ok?" He asked me. Then, without waiting for me to answer, he turned to my brothers. "Is she ok? What's wrong? Is she injured?"

I chuckled at his worrying. "I'm fine, just suffering from chakra exhaustion. Well, mostly fine. I can't see out of my left eye anymore, but I knew that would happen. It was the price for using the jutsu."

I figured I might as well tell him now. He could see that my left eye was, undoubtedly, pale white. If I didn't tell him what was wrong with it, he would flip out when he found out.

I could see that he was on the verge of panicking, so I leaned forward and kissed him. I heard two throats clear behind me, and pulled back quickly, blushing. My brothers, who were holding me up, had been pulled forward with me.

"Ah, Gaara, these are my brother, Asura and Indra. Please get along and don't fight while I'm out."

I added the last part because I could feel myself starting to pass out. I felt the three of them catch me as I fainted, the chakra exhaustion finally hitting me hard.
