It's me again. Okay I think its time I cleared up some confusion. Now this is my first story so I'm writing as I go along. It's not like my chapters are pre-written and I'm doing this just to torture you ppl. Imagine that time is a thread if you will. Now right when Yondaime seals the Kyuubi, the massive powers of the two clash and cause a ….split for lack of a better word. So now there are TWO timeline threads. One with Yondaime dead (TimeA) and one with him alive (TimeB) k? In my story, Naruto is sent ACROSS to the other thread/time where the Yondaime is still living. (I have yet to figure out how or why). However, Naruto remembers the other timeline (his original one). K now when Naruto is sent across during his original time, he's about 15 and his skills never made it past lower-chunin. When he's sent across he is also sent back a couple years to when he's 12. (if this isn't making sense, let me know). Now during TimeA Naruto was a highly elite Jounin but people didn't know he was Jounin. The villagers wouldn't react well to a demon Jounin so everybody thinks he stopped at lower chunin. As the elite Jounin level ninja, he's known as Silver. In addition to the normal wear, he has two katanas strapped to his back and he wears a facemask like Kakashi's, purple-silver contacts and blue hair dye but that's not really relevant cause you'll prolly never see him like this.

LFK: …….ooookkaaaaaaaay. Anyways, back to the story!! ..tries to comfort muse in the background

I sighed in appreciation of the food and leaned back in my chair. It was good, even with the carrots. Now it was time to relax. Getting up, I followed dad into the living room while mom cleaned up.

"Hey, Dad. Up for a game of GO?"

"GO?"

"Yeah. Need something to do to pass the time until bed."

Arashi exchanged a look with his wife. Naruto hated GO. "Sure."

"Great!" I jumped up to get the board. I had had this strange feeling like something important was going to happen. It sent shivers down my spine and GOusually helps me to relax. After setting up the board, common courtesy dictated that I allow my partner to choose his side. I gestured for him to pick and I sat opposite him.

"Now the point of…."

"Oh, I know. I had Shikamaru teach me."I interrupted..... crap, I shouldn't have said that.

"You did?" He paused. "Who's Shikamaru?"

"A friend I met in the Academy." I had to think fast.

"Oh."

We started the game. At first he was winning but as soon as I hit my stride, I trounced him. Playing with Shikamaru could make anyone a genius at GO. You had to be if you ever wanted to tie with him in even a quarter of the games.

I yawned when the game was over. "I'm going to get a drink and then go to bed. I'm exhausted."

"All right. I'll be up in a minute to tuck you in." mom said.

I felt a wisp of a foreign chakra signature brush the edge of my senses as I crossed into the kitchen. Pausing with a hand still on the doorframe I closed my eyes and tried to find it again; nothing. Must have been my imagination. Walking to the sink, I wipe my brow. Man, it was getting really warm in here and there was a pressure building behind my eyes. I searched the cupboards for some kind of medicine. Dammit! Where are those fucking pills?!! .....finally! I put the pill on the counter and grabbed a glass, filling it. I gulped half of it first but didn't get much chance to do anythingelse. Everything was getting kind of fuzzy. I tried to pick up the pill but I couldn't see it properly. Then everything just blacked out and the last thing I remember was shattering glass and running feet. I fell.

------LIVING ROOM (same time)------

-----author POV-----

As Naruto left the room, the two remaining exchanged a look. Arashi sighed. 'That certainly was odd' he thought. Why would Naruto play a game he hated? Maybe he changed his mind. It was, after all, an excellent game to increase intelligence. Breaking out of his thoughts, he noticed that Kishi (Haruko?) was directing an odd look in the direction of the kitchen. Focusing a bit more he could hear a bunch of noise coming from Naruto. What was he doing in there? CRASH He was off his feet and in the kitchen before he knew what he was doing, Kishi right behind him. Naruto was laying on the floor in front of the sink; pill on the counter with shattered glass and water surrounding Naruto.

Arashi was the first one to move from the doorway, rushing around the table and reaching the counter. Leaning over the boy, put his hand to his forehead. It was burning up. "He has a fever. You go get some hot water and cloths and I'll take him to his room." he said picking his son up carefully. He walked back out of the kitchen and up to Naruto's room. He kicked the door open with his foot and walked in, flipping the light switch with his elbow as he passed it. Reaching the bed, he gently laid Naruto on it, arranging his limbs to a comfortable position. He pulled the covers over Naruto and sat on the bed, smoothing the youth's hair out of his face. He frowned at the sweat that coated the boy's skin, the body trembling slightly. They needed to get his fever down as soon as they could. He sat down by Naruto's left side and waited for the water.

A few minutes later, Kishi walked in with a bowl of hot water (A/N it cools down fast so it has to be really hot to compensate) and clothes. She also had some medication for when he woke up. She set them on the bedside table and soaked a cloth from the pile she had brought. After laying it on her son's forehead she sat on the right side of the bed. They sat like that for a while; there wasn't really anything else they could do except keep him warm, covered and switch the cloth every time it cooled. Arashi knew this because, as the Hokage, he had taken some medical training. Finally it got so late that Arashi had to retire. Even though his son was sick, he was still Hokage; he had meetings to attend and papers to look at tomorrow not to mention the missions that needed to be dispersed.

Sighing he got up and headed to the door, knowing that Kishi would stay with him through the night. Her next mission wasn't for another few days yet. He turned around at the door, hand on the jamb. Kishi was still by Naruto's side, hand in hers. He knew she would stay like that the whole night. He would have to send Iruka-sensei to replace her in the morning. That man was like a second father to Naruto. He turned and walked out, softly closing the door behind him. Getting to his room he opened his window a bit before shedding his robes and sliding between the sheets.

--------somewhere outside the house-------

Two teams of three ANBU were gathered on a nearby rooftop. Five were in a circle, surrounding their sixth member. The one in the middle was sitting cross-legged, hands in a seal. He was the one who had caused Naruto to collapse in the kitchen. It would be easier to capture the fox-bearer if he was incapacitated. He was in deep concentration, enforcing his jutsu to ensure that the Kyuubi container would not wake by the commotion that would soon ensue. His eyes opened and he smirked through his Eagle mask.

"It's done."

"Good." A baritone voice replied monotonously through a Wolf mask. "Eagle, Dog and I will engage the Yondaime giving Tiger, Falcon, and Cat enough time to get out. Tiger and Falcon, you kill the woman. Cat, you take Naruto. As soon as your task is completed, head back to the Sound." Everyone nodded. "Good." He turned and leaped to the ground, keeping to the shadows with the others close behind him. He quickly darted to the corner of the Hokage's house, avoiding all the ANBU guards. Signing to his companions, he flashed through the front door as soon as all the ANBU's eyes and attention were diverted. Sticking to the walls, the group snuck their way through the front hall, darting past the kitchen and living room doorways to avoid being seen through the windows. Creeping up the stairs, they reached the first of the two bedrooms they needed. Wolf signaled to the second group that his group would continue on. The appointed leader of the second group, Falcon, nodded. Her group would wait for the Wolf's to decapitate the Yondaime before going into action. With that, Wolf's group proceeded to the Yondaime's room.

------Wolf's Group-------

As they approached the closed door on the right where they sensed the strong presence behind it, Wolf signaled Eagle and Dog to go to the other side. He would stay on this side of the door and open it. The other two flitted past. Grasping the handle with no noise, Wolf held up his fingers….1…..2…..3…and opened the door. All three darted into the room, being extra careful to mask their presence. They surrounded the foot of the bed, gathering a kunai their hands. In sync, they drew back their arms and threw the kunai at the figure on the bed…thunk. They landed as one. Two in the chest and one in the head. POP. A bunshin?! Wolf quickly scanned the room, searching for the missing body.

Yondaime had sensed the foreign ANBU presence when he had opened the window. Feeling them come near to his room he had jumped to the ceiling right before they had opened his door; concentrating the chakra to attach his back and legs. You don't become Hokage by being lazy. On his way to the ceiling, he had grabbed some kunai's. Three in each hand and one in his mouth. He saw them walk to his bed and take out their kunais. They threw them and his Bunshin popped out of existence. Moving quickly before any of them had too much time to react, Arashi threw his weapons. Two to a person; each one hit their mark dead on. One in the chest and one in the head. He let go of his grip on the ceiling and landed gently behind them, using his chakra to sense for life. There were none and he flared his chakra as a signal to the ANBU outside that assistance was required. Five ANBU appeared in his room, bowing.

"Monkey, stay here and dispose of these bodies. Lion and Mouse you two immediately check the perimeter for any more threats. Panda and Horse, follow me." He turned without waiting for acknowledgement and all but flew to Naruto's room. Flinging the door open, he flashed into the room immediately joining the fray.

-------Back to Naruto POV--------

It was so dark and warm. Like being wrapped in a big blanket with no way to see out.

-Kit-

I mentally swatted at the buzzing.

-Kit-

Why couldn't it just go away?! I must be more exhausted than I thought if I could actually understand the stupid fly.

-KIT!-

Wait. That's no fly. That's Kyuubi….something's wrong. I need to wake up.

-Kyuubi. S'at you?- my mind-voice is groggy

-No. It's the FREAKIN EASTER BUNNY!! Who do you think it is?!-

-Somebody woke up with wet fur. Anyways, whazza matter?-

-You need to wake up and do something. Your parents are kinda fighting for their lives right now.-

-……kuso! Let me out! I need to help!- I started to struggle against the darkness, trying to find a way out.

-Kit, relax. You need to find your way out first and THEN kick some ass.-

I did as he said and relaxed myself mentally. After what seemed like a few minutes, I could hear the sounds of a battle steadily growing louder and clearer. At the same time, the darkness around me slowly receded, giving way to hazy colors and moving shapes. I slowly opened my eyes all the way, blinking to clear my vision. Drip……….drip. I touch my fingertips to my cheek and stare at the liquid staining them. My eyes widened in shock. It's blood. I look above me…and see her.

She's kneeled over me, the tip of a katana piercing through her vest, blood dripping from her mouth. Quickly scanning the room to confirm that this isn't a dream I can see that Father is standing with his back to me. It seems that Tiger had thrown mother across the room, sending her sliding to the foot of my bed effectively momentarily putting her out of commission. Then, while the Falcon and Cat kept Father occupied, had swiftly thrown her katana at me without my father being aware. Most likely this was their 'if we can't have it, no one can' theory regarding the Kyuubi. However, my mother had regained her senses just in time to throw herself in front of me, which brought us to our current situation with my eyes wide in shock. I continued to stare, unseeing. She coughed and I snapped back to awareness. I flicked my eyes back to Tiger; she had a smirk on her face.

-Kyuubi-

-Hm?-

-Are you hungry?-

-…Why?-

-Her blood is yours if you want it.-

I could feel that he wanted it; it had been awhile since I had let him out.

-yeeesss-

I caught Tiger's gaze and held it while I allowed Kyuubi's chakra to flow through me, causing his more prominent features to form; ears, claws, teeth, tail and extremely heightened senses.

"Hey, Tiger." I grinned. "no one fucks with my family and lives."

I could feel her heart jolt at the blood-lust in my voice. Temporarily allowing Kyuubi control, I leaped. He swiped my claws across her throat neatly slicing through her jugular causing the blood to spray onto me. I landed on all fours on top of the body and let out a satisfied growl. I turned to my left and saw otou-san and the remaining two ANBU staring at me. I could taste the fear radiating off of the Sound nins, it was so strong. It was….sweet. Tou-san had a worried look on his face; he was probably thinking the seal had broken or something. A movement on the right caught my eye. I grinned; they Sound ANBU had fled. Too bad I couldn't let them live; they were Sound after and we all know Sound was ruled by Orichamaru.

"Tou-san. Watch over okaa-san. I'll get rid of the Sound."

"No, Naruto." He had immediately gone to the bed as soon as the foreign nin had fled. "The ANBU guard will take care of them. right now we need to get your 'kaa-san medical attention."

My eyes widen. 'Kaa-san! I had forgotten about her in the middle of Kyuubi's blood-lust. I whirled around and darted to the bed. I leaned over and took stock of her injuries.

"She won't last for the med-nins to get here or for her to get to the hospital. She needs to be healed now."

"I don't have enough chakra to heal this kind of wound!" he panicked a bit.

"You may not have enough but I think I do." I gathered my healing chakra to my hand, causing it to glow a bluish-green. Just as I was about to press it to her wound, a hand grabbed my wrist.

"Iie." She said. "I've lost too much blood anyway. Don't waste your energy."

"But.."

"I said no!!" she started coughing from her outburst.

"'Kaa-san…" I choked out. "I'm sorry. It was my fault….all my fault."

She smiled. "It wasn't your fault, gaki. I love you and I'm glad that you get to live. I would rather die than live through your death. Parents are not supposed to outlive their children. Don't worry, you'll see me again someday."

I smile shakily. I lean over and give her a kiss on her forehead. I look over at 'tou-san.

"I love you, 'Kaa-san." I get up and open the window. "I'll see you later, k?"

"Hai."

I turn and leap, leaving my mother and father alone. I approached the nearest ANBU guard and let her know of the situation. I also told her to leave them alone, they needed this time by themselves. As soon as I had passed the rest of the guard I took off into the closest source of foliage, which was the Forest of Death, leaping across the branches. I ran as far as I could without losing the chakra signature of my 'kaa-san. Even if I wasn't by her side, I need to know when she….when…oh fuck I couldn't even say the word. I collapsed on a branch and sobbed uncontrollably. Kyuubi stayed silent, understanding that I just needed to be by myself for a while. I don't know how long I sat there. It could have been 30 minutes or 6 hours for all I know, but as I sat there I went over the past couple days in my head. I had finally had a family, a real family that did normal family stuff with me. At least, I think that's normal family stuff. My lips curved up in a small smile. I didn't want to lose it so soon, but I guess that's what fate decided. He…would you look at me. Talking about fate just like Neji used to. My smile slipped and a tear slipped down my cheek. Maybe it was better to have not known family at all than to know it…and lose it. Breaking out of my thoughts, I searched for my mother's chakra signature. I panicked; where was it?! I started to breath harshly and raggedly……there it was. I sighed in relief just as the signature disappeared from my senses. My breath hitched; I spoke too soon. She was gone.

The reality of it hit me. She was gone. Losing my mother just days after learning I had one coupled with the shock of the reality-warp I had experienced overwhelmed me. I screamed my grief, the effects of Kyuubi making it more animal than human.

-----BACK AT THE HOUSE-----

Arashi was in shock. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his wife's cooling hand. He couldn't look away; it was as if he wanted to imprint this moment upon his memory forever. The smile was still in place on her face, but the twinkle in her eyes was gone. And it was never going to come back, he realized. Tears started to trickle from the corner of his eyes. He reached up and gently closed her eyes, letting his hand trail down the contours of her face one last time. The peace, however, of the grieving is never peaceful and just as he got up to inform his ANBU of his wife's death, he heard a scream. His head whipped around to face the direction the noise came from. He paled; the scream almost sounded like a fox but that was impossible because there were no foxes in the surrounding area. That meant that the only fox close enough for the scream to have originated from would be ….the….oh shit. The Kyuubi. The seal couldn't possibly be breaking at a time like it?

DUN DUN DUN….. okay so it's not really a cliffhanger (if you read closely) but oh well. Okay now to grovel to my reviewers…..lfk prostrates herself upon ground I am sooooooooo sorry for the late update. I got another job for Christmas though (money money money is good for gifts….and $60 bus passes grrrr) anyways, my second job is giving me almost 40 hours a week right now so I'm not sure how much time I'll have. And then I have to work on my beta-ing right now. (I'm a beta reader for Bullah so I have to read his work too…sigh. So much stuff so little time.) I really am trying to get these chapters out faster but I just can't seem to think of stuff to write. Btw, IF ANY ONE CAN THINK OF PLOT IDEAS, LET ME KNOW. I really need some inspiration. Oh and how do you think I should incorporate the other characters? Example, Kakashi Uchihas and the rookie nine. I don't know how I want them right now and I am GLADLY taking suggestions. Just fill out a piece of paper, its on your left there….no a little more…that's the one, and slip into the suggestions box thanks. Now to reply to my reviews from last chapter…ooooohooooh p.s I tried to make this chapter longer for ….lateness. (and it may not look like it but it's (i think) one or two pages longer) hope you likie

Oh shoot. Almost forgot, I have about a page done of chapter 4. I reeeeaallllly need plot ideas. And the pairings I still haven't decided on. (if there will be any….hmmm) right now there is….

SasuNaruSasu: 1

NaruHina: 1

NaruSaku: 1

And their dialogs and interactions are so much fun! I can't help but smile. Saying silly things at each other. its fun writing stuff like that

I love the carrot and the ramen parts too! thanks. I have no idea where the ideas for those came from though….probably just my humor-twisted mind.

Not only your fic warm my heart, but it makes my heart smiling too. You're really a wonderful writer and person.

Sincerely, your fan Y.Y.Y. SEE?!! I TOLD you I had a fan!!! Yay!! (YYY- me your fan too)

Skuld's Sentaro- o, i luv alternate time lines aren't they the best? this is getting really interesting, cant wait to see how strong naruto is, he's a jounin level but shhhh. Don't tell anyone I told you ;) as for pairings, anything will do besides sakura or hinata too many you're telling me!! I purposely look for non-naruhina narusaku fics to read. But I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. I don't really have a set plan guilt cowers and whimpers any ways keep up the good work and update soon Vthanks. And sorry for late update. So hard to write with two jobs and beta-reading.

HikaruOfArrow- ccol. thx

MC-88- HEY THERE! Hi () How you doin?! Good thanks.I really like this chapter... Especially the parts where the father and son starte chasing each other around the village... But, it really needs more explanation.. Some parts are quite confusing... But, I'm sure you'll fix that... Anyway, it's getting better... AND UPDATE MUCH SOONER! () Hehehe... hugglesI had PLANNED on explaining it in this chapter. Don't think I did a very good job….maybe I'll post a side-note in a day or so explaining it…yeah. I think I'll do that. sorry for the confusion.

P.s And don't listen to those flamer BITCHES! Thanks for the support. It made my day. God! I hate those fucking people! I mean REALLY! Do they even know how hard it is to write a good story?! Especially if you really are trying to please your readers?! Just ignore those bitches and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! THANKSGLOMP()

x- its realy good so far. as for pairings naruto always liked sakura so it might be fun to watch him try to get her in this world. Thanks for the vote. It would be interesting wouldn't it. But as I've said, ive only got three votes so far (and each one's different…) so I'm not sure how it's going to turn out but thank you

foxylittlechibi- this is great! Thx keep it up! writing one myself, not going well though. I'm sure it'll work out fine just think positive things about it and it'll be great i hope that this is updated soon!guilt again. I'm sorry it's so late
keep cool you too

Night-Owl123- update soon! sorry its late but here it is anyway

hollywood1390- interesting...update soon read above statement…

sabriel-chan- This has potential, but I get the feeling you're rushing things. Try to slow the plot down a bit and add more details this is my attempt. I really did try to add more stuff and not rush things. How am I doing? Your comment plagued me for DAYS (mostly because I knew it was true even if I had been rushing subconsciously). And the plaguing was good and this is what it made me spit out. I hope it's slow enough.

ghostninja85- I'm glad that you updated this fic even if it was the unbeta'd version. My beta-reader(s) STILL aren't done with the second chapter. Can you believe it? Wow! Anyways, this is also the un-beta'd version (takes too long to wait for beta'd version so yeah.) I hope you like it and as I said before, I think I'll post a note explaining the plot and the circumstances. Maybe clear a few things up for you guys

As to pairings, I'm always a supporter of SasuNaru NaruSasu. I don't mind yaoi. Sometimes I go looking for it to read. Depends on the mood I'm in. If yaoi isn't your cup of tea, then HinaNaru works for me also. Thanks for the vote

I'm still confused about the timelines and stiff, but I'm looking forward to finding out about it in later chapters. phooey. I put the above paragraph in wrong spot. Oh well.

I shall now proceed to hand out candy……here's one for you and you and you and ….oh screw it. Here's the bat, there's the piñata. Away you go
