Magnus: Welcome to a new story, this will be a little hard to read, because the OC can see different time lines at the same time, as well as multiple outcomes, so, expect some sense of Deja Vu, also, do not expect this OC to be a God-Like character, the weakness of his Kekke Genkai will be explained on the next chapter, but you can expect a Naruto who is most likely unbeatable, although you'll have to keep reading to understand why
Warning: This story won't be updated soon, for it will be in competition with other stories, should you want this story to be updated before the others, then review a lot

Against The Future
Chapter 1
Awakening Dream
Near the capital of the Fire country, at the top of a high mountain, lay an old monastery, in this monastery, lives a group of monks that are renown for their wisdom, and even the Daimyo is known to seek their wisdom when hard times comes to the land, but there is a secret within the walls of this mission, a secret that they have made an oath to never let the world hear of it again...
But nothing is forever, and oaths are bound to be broken after enough time, and the time for this oath has come, and all began with a dream...
=Dream=
Naruto had been just kicked out of the orphanage, he just couldn't understand why, the lady in charge didn't explained the reason, she just yelled at him...
"GET OUT OF HERE AND DON'T COME BACK! I TOLERATED YOU AS MUCH AS I COULD, BUT I WON'T LET YOU HURT MY CHILDREN, YOU FILTHY DEMON!", The lady shouted, her voice filled with rage, Naruto couldn't understand it, he only defended himself, and even then, he only pushed the older boy away from him, he was sure that the older boy didn't got hurt, who can get hurt by falling on his ass?
"B-But...", Naruto tried to say something, anything, whatever, so he wouldn't get kicked out into the street, but the lady only got more furious
"LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!, OR I'LL KILL YOU MYSELF!", The lady shouted, while wielding a frying pan, ready to strike Naruto, so, the poor 5 years old child couldn't do anything but run away, with only the clothes he had on, which will not help him in the winter
+++Time Skip+++
Naruto was following an old man, dressed on robes and a hat with the kanji of fire on it, they walked to an old apartment building, the council once again voted against Naruto being adopted, and no one agreed to force the orphanage to accept him back, which resulted on this outcome
"I'm sorry, Naruto, I can't force them to accept you back at the orphanage, but I can help you with this, an apartment of your own... and some temporary income, at least until you become a shinobi, and earn your own money", Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, explained to Naruto, who had tears of happiness, for the kindness that the Hokage shown to him
"Thank you, and you'll see how I become a Hokage, BELIEVE IT!", Naruto shouted on his tiny voice, and Sarutobi couldn't help but to laugh at the antics of the blond troublemaker
"Of course, and I'm sure you'll be the best Hokage ever", Sarutobi stated, still chuckling at Naruto, who took this as a way of approbation
+++Time Skip+++
On his first days at the academy, Naruto learned a lot of this, but more important than jutsus and what means to be a ninja, he learned that near everyone in the village hated him
"Why... why are you doing this to me?... what have I done to you?...", Naruto asked to the older kids that were punching him without any mercy
"Shut up!, we have no need to explain anything to you!, no one wants you!, no one will miss you!", the leader of the kids shouted, while still punching him
"Hey!, what the hell are you doing?", Iruka shouted, not sure who was being bullied, but it had the desired effect, the kids scrambled, leaving behind a beaten Naruto. Iruka reached for him, and lifted him, to carry Naruto to the infirmary
"Why is everyone mean to me?, what have I done?", Naruto asked, and while Iruka hated him at first for the Kyuubi inside of him, he couldn't help but to feel his heart breaking, the poor child was right, he has done nothing wrong
"Nothing, Naruto, nothing, sometimes the orphans get bullied just because no one stands up for them, or because they can't stand by themselves, life is harsh, just like me, you have to keep going", Iruka explained, and Naruto hugged him, it was true, Iruka was an orphan too, so he held his words as true. But he decided that, if they were going to punish him, at least he'll give them a reason to do so, and then, a massive quantity of pranks were designed on his childish mind...
+++Time skip+++
Naruto was annoyed, after the final test that his new sensei made them go through, he thought that he had gained a friend, and a step forward with his crush... but he was wrong
"Hey!, Sasuke!, if you don't hurry up, you'll be painting without any light!", Naruto called after the last loyal Uchiha, who was only brooding, after barely have painted only a little bit of the fence he was supposed to paint
"Naruto!, stop distracting Sasuke-kun!, he needs to focus to become stronger!, he have no time to deal with this kind of missions!", Sakura Haruno, Naruto's crush, and Sasuke's number one fangirl, screamed at Naruto, whose heart felt like stabbed by a rusted kunai, he really liked her, and her defending brooding avenger was simply harmful
"But, Sakura-chan!, we are a team!, and if he does not hurry up, none of us will be able to go home until he finishes!", Naruto explained, he didn't like to use smart comments, because that enraged the council, but this time there was no other way around the problem
"Then be a good friend, and help him finish!, or are you selfish enough to see us suffer trying to paint this fance in the night?", Sakura taunted, and with a sigh of defeat, Naruto did as told. He didn't complain, after all, Sakura told him to be a good friend, and since he hadn't had any friends before, he thought that this was good
+++Time Skip+++
This was exactly what he didn't want, this was the most horrible outcome of this mission, he has just left too many friends behind, battling some of the most freakish and powerful enemies he had seen, all in hope of rescuing his friend, but it all ended wrong, and now he had to almost destroy his own friend, if he ever want to bring him back...
"RASENGAN!"
"CHIDORI!"
The two former friends leaped at each other, Naruto was covered in red demonic chakra, his body falling apart due the corruption, but his mind was standing strong, he was ready to give his life to accomplish the promise he made to Sakura, while Sasuke has just mutated into a horrible humanoid creature, hand-like-wings were coming our of his purplish-grayish skin, his eyes were blood shot, and his mind was almost gone, gone to the greed of power, gone to the desire of revenge, in fact, he wanted to kill Naruto, to untap the next stage of his Kekke Genkai, just as his brother.
'Kill him!, or he will kill you!', Kyuubi shouted inside Naruto's mind, it's only concern, was to survive, there was no care
'NO!, I won't kill him... that will make Sakura sad... and I know he can change!, he is not evil... HE IS MY FRIEND!', Naruto shouted in his mind, the attacks were still strong, and none was giving away
'Even if that is true, there is no way you can return him back to normal, your presence, your existance, is what it's driving him mad, either you kill him now, or let him go', Kyuubi tried to reasoning with Naruto, but to no avail
'I can do it, I know I can do it!, I don't need you to do this, the strength of our friendship will make the miracle happen!', Naruto replied, his voice was more like a scream of despair than of hope
'Fool, you can't do anything alone, you can't do anything without me... you are nothing without me... you should be thankful for me being here', Kyuubi darkly stated, and Naruto soon felt his body being overloaded with demonic chakra, his Rasengan was growing with unholy power, in a monent, Sasuke will be reduced to shreads... so, he decided to sacrifice himself...
"GHAAAAA!", Naruto screamed as Sasuke pierced his chest, barely missing his heart, Naruto decided to only scratch Sasuke's hitai-ate, Naruto decided that if he couldn't keep his promise today, he will let someone else bring happiness to his beloved Sakura, if only to not bring pain and misery to her by his own hand. Soon Naruto's world became dark, and he embraced unconsciousness...
+++Time Skip+++
Today was a great day, after training three years under Jiraiya's wing, and writing a lot of pervert books, he was taller, well fed, and much more stronger, true, his promise to bring back Sasuke was still eating him out, he often had nightmares of Sakura crying and berating him for being forced to kill the Uchiha traitor, but he was full of determination today, he knew that Sakura will never be his, but at least, he will make her know his true feelings, so at least his heart can be at peace
"Naruto!, you are back!", Sakura greeted the blond shinobi, she looked... happy... to see him, so much that his heart made a dangerous flip
"Sakura-chan!, it's good to see you again!", Naruto greeted back, berating himself for not telling her his feelings in that very moment
"I see you have grown, both in height and power, and now that you are here, I can't wait for us to start searching for Sasuke-kun again!", Sakura, stated, her smile, the light in her eyes, all that beauty... completely devoted to a traitor... it made Naruto feel sick, but he was too noble for his own good
"That's right, for I haven't forgotten my promise, I won't fail you", Naruto replied, pushing his feelings aside, there will be other chances, and if there aren't any more chances... at least he will stay true to his word, true to his nindo...
+++Time Skip+++
It was the end... no more Pein... No more war... no more true friends, and... no love... Naruto was in the ground, too weak to try to crawl his way, no, not too weak, he was much worse when he crawled against Gaara, full intent on killing him to ensure te safety of his friends... today he just lacked the will to even try it... he could only resume his life in his mind...
Shino Aburame, albeit weird to the core, was a very good friend, if not for the council, he and his family would have adopted him, and even when that didn't happened, Shino never felt ashamed of being called his friend, he was that source of serenity, when he needed a solid point of view, he was that wise big brother he always loved and needed, and he had been the voice of reason during all the madness of his life upon returning from Jiraiya's training, and now he lay on a bed, in a decaying hospital, fried like a bug after a wild fire, with no chance of ever recover...
Rock Lee, the Green Beast of Konoha, the limit of the Power of Youth, always so cheerful, always so noble, always the gentleman, always giving his best, at some point, he became an inspiration for Naruto, Lee couldn't mold chakra, wasn't able to heal at a fast rate, and had the biggest amount of Bad Luck of the entire shinobi world, and he never gave up, near every shinobi laughed at him, and he never dropped his smile, perhaps the only sincere and friendly smile of Konoha's shinobies, he was the fastest, so fast that without the enhancements of Kyuubi, Naruto would never have been able to follow, natural strenght that put to shame almost every shinobi who used chakra to strenthen their muscles, with the exception of Tsunade and Sakura, he had an endurance worthy of a Demigod... and yet he fell, losing both legs and an arm to protect the one he loved, Sakura, who not even looked back at him when she ran after Sasuke, the traitor...
Shikamaru Nara, the Lazy Genius, he was something like a cosmic joke, always complaining about his bad luck, which was nonexistent to everyone else, he got a beautiful girl in Temari, he got a set of shadow skills to terrorize the most experienced shinobi, a brain capable of taking him out of situations impossible to anyone else, undamaged, and ambushing him was an invitation to disaster, Naruto was not worried for him, of course not, even when an entire building fell on him, Naruto was sure that the lucky bastard was pretty much alive, crawling his way out at the slowest speed possible, wasting so little energy, that he will be without even the smell of sweat... he will make a fine Hokage...
Hinata Hyuga, the shy princess, the most lovely kunoichi of the world, and maybe the only one in the world that loved him, yes, she LOVED him, heck, even her scary father was ready to take him into the Hyuga family if only to keep her safe... if only he had know early... then nothing of this tragedy would have even happened, and she'll be alive today... this is he reason he had no will to live, because the only one who loved him, died on his hands, declaring her love for him, berating herself for not telling him before... but i was him the one to blame, for not reading the signs, all that care she shown to him, all the little things she tried to give him, the blushing, her cute voice burning with pure love whenever she spoke his name, and for that, he lost her, and he just couldn't wait to meet her in the afterlife, if only to say how sorry he is...
Naruto also thought about the rest of his friends, like Chouji, Iruka, Ayame and Teuchi... Konohamrau... Tsunade-obaa-chan... and a few others... all of them either crippled, or dead, but all further thought was stopped, when Sakura arrived, and helped him to sit up... and at her side, Sasuke Uchiha was standing, smiling, and looking at him with a pity that made him feel like tearing his heart apart...
"Naruto, I'm glad you are alive... I... I want to thank you, for keeping your promise, for not kill Sasuke when you had him in your grasp, for not taking advantage of me in my time of weakness, allowing me to remain pure for him, for believe in me, and while my whole heart is only for Sasuke-kun, I want to give you a very special reward, because I don't want you to think that I don't care about you...", Sakura said to the silent Naruto, he had no longer any will to say anything, to move, or anything else, he didn't care about the reward, in fact, he already knew what was going to happen, he was there when Danzo gave her a very special mission
Sakura kissed Naruto on the lips, it wasn't a deep kiss, but it was neither a chaste kiss, she planted it with all the intention on making it nice, and sweet, breaking it slowly, but to Naruto it felt like acid, like venom, he didn't returned the kiss, he just waited, almost impatiently, for the final strike that will reunite him with his shy princess
"Naruto, you don't have to worry about anything, Sasuke will be the new Hokage, and the council will lead Konoha into an unending golden age, you can rest in peace now", Sakura sweetly stated, and then she stabbed him with straight sword, piercing his sore heart, but Naruto didn't complained, not even grunted in pain or discomfort, he just blinked at her, almost as if mocking at her luck, because without all the good people that sacrificed themselves for the village, Konoha was doomed, although it was no longer Naruto's concern, he just embraced the cold feeling of the death, and allowed his life to flow out of him, he just ignored the retreating forms of Sasuke and Sakura, who left him to be eaten by the wild beasts, and just basked on the light in front of him, he just could see the figure of a shy Hinata waiting for him...
=End of the Dream=
A small child, barely five years old, woke up in his bed, his brown eyes wide open, his face showing sadness that no human being should feel, and his heart aching for a chance to help the blond shinobi that he just saw on his dream, only the voice of the grand master of the order made him break free from his stupor
"You've just awaken the Mugengan, a curse for mankind... I pity you, boy, because you'll never know happiness, you'll never know rest, you'll be forever tormented with images of the future, an horrible future... you have turned an adult in the eyes of the order, if you don't want to carry this burden, then tell us, and we can end your misery, but if you want to give your life some meaning, then you'll fully join us... we'll wait you at the table in the main hall, don't rush your decision, we have ALL the time of the world", the Grand Master stated, and then left the room of the boy, to give him enough space
"I will... not be a tool... but... I can't leave him alone... no one deserves that destiny...", the child muttered to himself, while running his small hand on his short black hair
"I've decided it, I'm leaving, I have to find him, I can't allow this to happen", The child stated, and just then he noticed it, the feeling of Deja Vu, the Grand Master just closed the door of his room behind him, just as he did a moment ago
"True, I now have the Mugengan, now I can see the future, but, I will change it, I don't care it is forbidden, if I can't be happy... the at least he will... that's right... I'll make a difference", the child said, and them darted to his wardrobe, and dressed on his working outfit, hardened cotton pants, soft leather boots, and leather shirt, and then covered all of it with the robes of the order of destiny, plain white robes, adjusted at his waist by a cord, even as a child, the order gave him both types of clothes, should his Kekke Genkai didn't show, he will work and be happy, should it show, just like now, he'll hide on his white robes, so, in a way of defiance, he used both clothes
Outside the room, the Grand Master, Grandfather of the child, just shook his head, he could have stopped him, he could have made him understand, but he also knew, that this was the best for the child... and perhaps... for the world
"My name is, Sadamitsu Hoshichushi, a rouge of the Order of Destiny, I don't care about the rules, I don't care about status, I don't care about laws, I just care about justice, and I'm willing to become an Angel of Death to do so, and the first thing to do in my list, is to help this Naruto, I'll make EVERYONE respect him... one way or the other"
Magnus: Well, what do you think?, I know that some of the events are not like they happened in the manga or anime, but a few changes had to be made, the only decided pairing up to now is NaruHina, everything else, will be decided as the story unfolds
