Author's note: Well here is the new chapter, I'm happy from all the love I got from the last chapter so I hope you guys enjoy this new one.
Naruto smirked, he knew there wasn't much he could do with his favorite techniques unless he absolutely had to. The two boys stood still, no stance ready, no proof either were even going to fight, Naruto grinning madly as he stared at his friend. He could feel the excitement in the air around him, the hairs on his arms were even standing up and Kurama had awoken to watch this fight with much interest. Naruto looked on, he could sense everything around him in the arena, he could feel the nervousness and uneasiness in people in the balconies above, he could see Kakashi wave off the hokage letting him know things would be fine. Naruto could sense all the anbu hiding above waiting to pounce if too much of the beasts was released, but they would just be in the way if it went that far. The arena floor was dirtied and battered, but after this match it would be a whole new place, the ground was still firm, but once Gaara and Naruto finished the area would be refurbished… well more like destroyed.
Gaara smirked sadistically as he eyed his friend, even though he was mostly sane, not sleeping still took its toll on ones body and even he was feeling the effects of being slightly crazy. He knew he looked mad with the grin he had on his face, his siblings were freaking out when they saw it, and even his Sensei was uneasy and worried by it. He knew that his Sensei couldn't do anything if he chose to pull out any of Shukaku's chakra. Gaara's body was slightly shaking he was ready to jump into this battle and fight to his fullest for the first time since his dad had to last stop him from going full Shukaku. It's a shame the man is dead now, replaced by Orochimaru but it was no worries, because for now nothing mattered to the boy but this fight right here. He wanted nothing more than to truly test his abilities and fight his friend and he couldn't help but vocalize it either. "Yes Uzumaki, let this begin! Let your death come and let us see what you are truly made of. Come at me with everything you can and let me truly feel alive, if a kage is no match for me what are you going to do to me!" He screamed crazily. Gaara didn't mean for it to sound crazy but he was slightly delirious and Shukaku was getting to him just a little bit and he was allowing it this one time for the battle.
People started to mumble when Gaara said what he did about a kage not being able to stop him though. Most people already knew to stay away from him he just gave off that vibe that scared people away. No one could even get close to him so people didn't want to bother him if they could help it. But fighting a kage seemed far fetched… to those that didn't truly know him, but the jounin that were in the building knew better. They could tell something was off and every single one of them were watching intently, none more so than Kakashi because this was a change from what he knew of the future. The ripples were starting to show and so he wanted to know what was going to happen next, for now he took out his sharingan because he knew Naruto by now was fast, and the dojutsu he had would help him out a great deal. Sasuke saw this happen, and decided to take lead and activate his Sharingan too, thinking maybe he could learn a thing or two, because even Sasuke wasn't aware of Naruto's true speed and everyone was about to be shocked.
Hayate walked calmly between the two boys, honestly, he wanted to run. He didn't know what it was but something about the two boys made him uneasy and he knew this was a match he wasn't going to stop so he decided to hide well and watch intently. He looked at the two boys and stretched out his arm in front of himself. "Hajime!" He screamed and disappeared and in that instant Naruto disappeared in pure speed.
Many Jounin were shocked and stunned by this, even Maito Gai, who walked over to Kakashi to talk to the man as they watched the battle. Naruto quickly appeared behind Gaara with a kick that was barley blocked by his automatic sand. Naruto kept this act up slowly going faster seeing if he could beat the sand, slowly starting to beat it, Gaara had to start moving his own body just to make his sand go faster to keep up.
"Kakashi-san what in the hell kind of training did you put that boy though" He said seriously more demanding to know than asking.
"You have no need to ask, including that you taught lee the gates, I understand why you would but even you know how foolish that is. Nonetheless I have my own reasons why, and just know I didn't do much, before he met me he was almost this fast anyways he lived his life for years wearing weights. He is a genius with fuinjutsu and made his own gravity seals, he's a prodigy." Kakashi responded, a few jounin heard this and again became more uneasy. A boy with the last name of Uzumaki and was a prodigy of fuinjutsu… something no other village needed was the leaf with another Uzumaki. "I mean he wasn't given the title of clan head for the Uzumaki for no reason, he's the real deal" Some of the jounin's listening widened their eyes hearing this. Not everyone knew this, so it was news, and for the foreigners this worried them slightly. Baki was nervous, even he knew of the Uzumaki, and he wondered how the boy would fair against
Gaara with that kind of power backing his name.
Naruto quickly made a few clones to see if Gaara's sand could keep up with multiple directions of attack. Naruto smiled again when Gaara got distracted and he got his opening and hit the boy in the face. This shocked a few people as Gaara was knocked backwards, with a crack in the sand that covered his immediate body. Gaara got up and smiled even crazier, malicious chakra leaking off of him, "YES! This is what I have craved, come at me with more Uzumaki and let me wash in your blood, killing you will be my ultimate trophy!" Gaara screamed creeping out a few people as he came onto the attack now.
Gaara quickly shot out his sand controlling his attacks with his arms. Naruto smirked though and made a few hand seals, "Fire style: Phoenix fire jutsu" Naruto said to himself as he quickly shot out a few dozen fireballs hot enough to turn some of the sand to glass but not do much else, Naruto quickly jumped to the side and quickly started to dodge nonstop as the sand quickly came at multiple angles trying to stab him. Naruto quickly shot to the ceiling and made two clones and then they all shot off to different directions as Gaara's sand impacted the roof breaking it and chunks of the ceiling fell off to the ground. Naruto smiled as the field was already starting to change, and quickly charged Gaara making a few hand seals as he accurately dodged the sand coming at him.
"Water style: Drilling water spears" Naruto said before than shooting out some water drills from his mouth that soaked Gaara's sand weakening it and making it heavier and slower. Now a lot of jounin were dumbfounded. Not only could Naruto make shadow clones, but he was using high level water and fire jutsus, and using water jutsu without any water near the vicinity and using only the water naturally stored within his own body and around him in the air, something unheard of besides the second hokage. But Sasuke was on the verge of breaking, and his seal wasn't doing much either and now Kakashi was worried, because the cursed seal was trying to break out.
"Sasuke you need to calm down right now" Kakashi said grasping the boys wrist making him look up at Kakashi.
"This shouldn't be possible, I've never actually seen you teach him anything, besides chakra control techniques, how is he so strong?!" Sasuke demanded to know.
"Chakra control is key to everything, we know why he has so much chakra, even more than hokage-sama. Because of this he needs to control that mass of chakra and he works his ass off, he even has clones work while he sleeps to help better himself he never stops training, even now he probably has clones hidden in the village training, working on techniques and jutsu's to better himself. Naruto is a prodigy unlike others because he is a self made prodigy, he doesn't ask to be shown techniques but how to better the ones he has, and to be shown where he has gone wrong. Besides that he does everything himself." By now a lot of people were listening to Kakashi and a lot were surprised at what he was saying but listened on to what little he left to say. "Naruto wants it more than others because he has a reason to better himself. He came into this world with nothing you know this Sasuke, so Naruto does all he can to improve and he never stops working. Ever." Kakashi said before looking back to the battle where he saw things getting intense.
Sasuke felt stupid for asking, he should have known better. He always knew that Naruto was strong but as he watches the boy now he just feels so inferior to him. If this is what Naruto was capable of than he needs to better himself too, he would be damned if he just gave up.
Naruto was on the run again as Gaara made his sand go even faster, this was most likely it's max speed but now Naruto was in trouble, and it showed when Naruto got struck in the chest and was slammed into the wall. "This is where I finish you Uzumaki-san" Gaara said with a smile.
Naruto smirked he was able to call out just a tiny bit of Kurama's power to give him extra strength and speed. Naruto than with pure force broke the sand surrounding him and flooded the arena with clones. And then they all attacked at once, Gaara was prepared for this though and entered a circle of sand. Naruto's eyes went wide and realized what was going on, he was going to give in to Shukaku to finish this fight at full power.
"Oh shit, hell no you don't Gaara, I'm not letting you do that" Naruto sighed as he realized he had only one attack that could break through that. Naruto at full speed sprinted towards Gaara's location as chakra came to his hand in the shape of an orb. Now every single person in the building were on their toes as they saw the jutsu appearing in Naruto's hand.
Naruto jumped in the air and threw his arm out but was than impaled on the spot by one of Gaara's spikes. Everyone went wide eyed at this, until the Naruto popped out of existence. "Shit that was close thank god I used a clone. I don't know what else to do, if I can't hit him with the rasengan than this will get ugly fast." Naruto sat calmly for a minute thinking knowing he didn't have long to prepare. "Fuck it might as well do what I do best and fuck things up!" Naruto shouted with a smile, he then surged his chakra before calling out his favorite technique. "Taju kage bunshin No jutsu!" The entire room was filled with Naruto clone's even the balconies. The jounin looked in horror at Naruto as he stood there not even looking winded at the hundreds of clones the boy made.
"What in the hell is that child" one muttered trying to comprehend how this was possible.
Naruto smiled and every single clone made a rasengan and charged Gaara, destroying the sand as he got closer and closer. The clones started to be destroyed and Naruto was soon the last to be charging down Gaara, no more sand to protect him as it was to wide spread and to thing to do any real damage, and Gaara in no shape to gather more quick enough. No sound was made besides that of Naruto's footsteps as he ran towards Gaara. He then jumped and quickly twirled his body to dodge the one last spike that came out before he threw himself down extending his arm and screaming his attack, "RASENGAN!" Naruto yelled as he tore through Gaara's circle with his attack with his Kyuubi infused rasengan, the jutsu hit Gaara and the boy flew back into the wall where he barely held consciousness. Naruto walked over to Gaara and spoke only to where the boy could hear him. "Don't do this, this is not the time or place for Shukaku, just give up now, and then we will work on that seal okay" Naruto said to his friend. Gaara just nodded accepting defeat and raised his hand.
"Protector I admit defeat" the boy said.
"THAT IS FUCKING BULL SHIT NO WAY THAT KID IS A FUCKING GENIN!" Baki yelled in pure anger as he saw something he never thought was possible. Gaara lost, and to someone other than the 4th kazekage.
"Please behave yourself in here and stop making accusations of my ninja's or I will kick you and your team out" Hiruzen said addressing the sand team's sensei.
Baki gritted his teeth, rage filling his body but he calmed himself down, "Hai Hokage-sama" He said showing respect to the god of shinobi. He knew better than to provoke the hokage of the leaf. That was a death sentence he didn't need.
"Naruto Uzumaki is the winner of this battle, now will said shinobi and his sensei please come with me immediately" Hiruzen said flooding the arena with ki showing his anger to everyone there. The two said nothing as they appeared in front of the hokage, "Hayate continue the matches we will return when we are finished discussing a few things." The Sarutobi said as he turned around and left, Kakashi and Naruto following in suit.
Kakashi and Naruto followed the old Hokage into a back room away from the fights, Kakashi could sense six anbu in the room ready to protect the kage. Naruto could detect all 8 though, which made him smirk as he was getting better. Hiruzen sat down and let out a sigh, "Kakashi-san… how is it Naruto knows one of two of the 4th's legendary technique."
Kakashi looked nervous and looked down at Naruto for help as to what he said, Naruto put his hand up and let out a sigh, "Kakashi-sensei it might be time to tell him, what do you think." Now Hiruzen was confused but let the two talk to try and figure out what was going on.
"That's up to you Naruto, I think we should let him on it, but at the same time it depends on if you trust him enough with it. All I know is the other 6 in this room can't know" Kakashi said, hinting to the hokage the importance of whatever it is.
"You mean 8" Naruto said with a sly smirk as he crossed his arms.
"It's actually 10, and what in the hell is going on dammit" Hiruzen said not being able to contain himself anymore.
Once again Naruto sighed, "If the anbu don't leave this room you will never find anything out Sarutobi" Naruto said in a plain, emotionless voice finally dropping the facade of who he appeared to be in everyday life. This took the hokage back a bit with how Naruto talked to him and he hesitated not sure of what to do.
"Kakashi…" His voice trailed off and Kakashi took over.
"Listen to the boy Hokage-sama, it is truly worth hearing. This is not something you will regret… but a lot to fear that is for sure. I was skeptical at first until Naruto showed me himself… it's a lot to take in" Kakashi said leaving the hokage with a thousand questions but no answers.
"Leave the room" Hiruzen said shooing the anbu, 10 figures jumped out of the room and closed the door.
Naruto smiled, "Hopefully you won't regret this now give me a moment as I set up a barrier for us." Naruto said, "Just so you know, I'm not the Naruto that you have become so fond of, but I am still Naruto" the boy said further confusing the hokage. Naruto quickly made four clones who each took a corner in the room. The clones went through a long complicated array of hand seals before all at the same time saying, "Separation Barrier." The room was encased in a blue barrier, and everything felt… off it didn't take long for the other two shinobi to feel the difference.
"What is this technique Naruto? I've never heard of a barrier like this." Hiruzen said utterly stupified by the boys technique.
"I would be surprised if you did know it, for I created this jutsu 11 years from now." Hiruzen went wide eyed at this, but Naruto continued, "This technique creates a separate dimension in which all the users inside of the barrier can safely reside so long as chakra is fed to the jutsu, S class obvious for the fact that you need 4 people and the huge chakra consumption. Inside of here no one can detect us, or get to us we are in a sense in a separate dimension that I just made, with this room being the only thing holding us to the real world at the same time. Now that, that is all done and over with let me introduce myself" Naruto breathed deeply before transforming into his future self with a simple transformation jutsu, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, Nanadaime Hokage of the leaf village, predecessor to the Rokudaime Hokage Kakashi Hatake of the leaf village." Naruto said, Hiruzen at a loss for words slumped into the chair behind him holding his head.
"I don't even know what to say" He said, he had so many questions and his mind wouldn't stop racing, he wasn't even sure what to ask.
"Than let me show you, everything my entire life history through my eyes. This will help you understand, Kakashi-Sensei is the only one to know about any of this." Naruto said with a sincere smile, placing a hand on the Kage's shoulder. "Flashback no jutsu" Naruto whispered and it happened, everyone in the room relieved Naruto's life up until the moment they were in through his eyes.
Hiruzen was horrified when he finished, the flashback started with Naruto's earliest memories. The boy was about 3 or 4 years old and was hiding behind a dumpster on a very sacred night. A mob of people with weapons were looking for Naruto, calling him demon boy the boy hiding behind the dumpster was in tears crying his heart out trying to not make a sound. But to no avail as the mob found him. The first man started kicking Naruto against a wall as another took the old kunai in his hand to stab the boys leg. Everyone there took turns beating the boy, some even burning the child with fire from torches. The boy couldn't pass out from pain, his body wouldn't let him so he started to scream in pain, the louder he screamed the bigger the crowd got that was beating him. It was 45 minutes of pure hell and torture for Naruto as the boy screamed until he couldn't make a sound, and cried and passed out just to wake up seconds later and continue screaming in pain. After 45 minutes Kakashi in his anbu outfit and a small group of other anbu showed up and arrested a majority of the people in the group before Naruto blacked out. The rest of the memories for the next few years only got worse, rarely ever any good days until he met the kind family at the ramen stand, and then meeting the third. But than for years it continued to be bad, graduation failure one after another until Mizuki tricked Naruto and he found out who he truly was.
The memories slowly got better, Naruto made real friends went on missions and had fun making bonds, including with Sasuke. Than the chunin exams happened, Hiruzen was horrified once more as he watched Naruto by himself fight a Bijuu. He was dumbfounded to see him win the fight and then he realized he himself died fighting Orochimaru. Again was more tears being shed from Naruto at losing the old man during the funeral.
Naruto was strong and Jiraiya showed up taking Naruto on an adventure. To find a hokage and his old teammate. Hiruzen laughed a bit as he watched the two act like father and son together through the trip, Naruto learning the Rasengan. Then finding Tsunade and fighting her, then the fight with Orochimaru and Kabuto. Naruto once again being the best he could and changing Tsunade's ways for the best. For the next months which seemed to last like actual months to the old man but in reality not even a second had passed the hokage watched Naruto grow with his team in all they did. Than Hiruzen watched in sadness as Naruto fought Sasuke at the Valley. A valley where no two brother shinobi should ever fight, a Valley which became legacy and in this new fight starts a new long chain of events that will again become history and legend. Even Sarutobi could see this coming along as he watched the two boys fight with such fierceness neither holding back on any attack. After the battle was over Sarutobi was surprised to see Sasuke change his mind for a split second and not kill Naruto.
The next years passed by in a more happy manner, Naruto trained harder than ever progressing fast as a Ninja under the Sannin Jiraiya. Naruto learned a lot, more so how to respect women than getting stronger, but nonetheless he grew leaps and bounds in strength. Than atkuski showed up, and everything changed. Naruto watched as Naruto's team changed with Sai joining it, and the wood user Tenzo helping out. Naruto creating his own technique and mastering his father's technique the rasengan with the rasenshuriken. Naruto learning of Gaara being captured and the rescue mission, seeing Sasuke again, finding out Jiraiya died. Hiruzen could feel the pain that Naruto felt when the boy found out about his Sensei's death. The hurt and how it changed him just a little bit.
Naruto going to Mount Myoboku to learn the Sage Arts. And then the destruction of the Leaf, Hiruzen fell to his knees seeing the village decimated to ruble from Pain. The battle between the two, Naruto and the rinnegan user was one for the history books, but what happened with Naruto meeting his father was a lot too. To think Minato had done that in the seal surprised the old man once more, Naruto didn't lie when he told him this was going to be a lot. Hiruzen watched on as he saw everything else happen, The war, Naruto and Sasuke's final battle at the Valley and than peace. Hiruzen saw Naruto for the first time through the boy's entire life be fully accepted by literally everyone, and his happiness. His relationship with the hyuuga heiress Hinata, and there small family. And for years everything was perfect, Naruto took over the mantle from Kakashi, and the village grew and prospered, the Ninja academy became more diverse to help students more so including teaching the civilian born ninjas more about becoming a ninja and specifically helping them even more in the ninja arts. Than that night happened, and Hiruzen felt tears running down his cheeks as he felt the pure rage that filled Naruto's body at his brother betrayal. Something had once more twisted Sasuke's mind and the boy massacred the village, and Naruto was too late to save his family. The fight between Naruto and Sasuke didn't last long, but once more the village was destroyed. Naruto attacked Sasuke with such ferocity, he didn't let up until Sasuke had his last breath. So much had happened to the boy and the last thing Hiruzen saw was Naruto making the deal with Kumara to go back in time and that was when Naruto cut the jutsu.
Hiruzen sat back and the room was silent once more, Naruto was also sitting as he tried to compose himself… His life even for himself was a lot. Watching the painful memories again as if they were just happening was a lot for the boy and he had to compose himself before he spoke. "So jiji, what questions do you have now" Naruto asked the old man as he slowly looked up at Naruto.
Hiruzen got up from his seat and walked towards Naruto before embracing the boy crying and apologizing to him. "I am so sorry Naruto… I never knew it was that horrible. I can never make up the hurt you have been through and for that I apologize because I failed to fully protect you like your mother and father wished. But the only question I have is what do we do now?" the Kage asked backing up from Naruto and looking at him as a man.
"For now we cause hell and fuck up the Atkuski. We stop Sasuke at all costs from leaving and do what we can to teach him the importance of love. I myself have my own missions in which I will do to try and disrupt the future the best I can, Hiruzen you need to get as much information from Itachi as possible, do not inform him of this, warn him I'm a chunin level ninja because after today people will become aware of the leaf's Uzumaki. A lot has already changed as you now know, and Hiruzen we need to stop Danzo. And I mean as soon as possible, you and Jiraiya should be enough for the man, just tell Jiraiya to go full Sage mode and you two can defeat him. Do not arrest him, but kill him and take Shisui's eye from him also and give it to Itachi. Hopefully Itachi can come out of this alive but with his disease he still may not, not unless Tsunade will help him." Naruto said as the Kage nodded in agreeance.
"It was never my plan for you to know of this, but fuck it plans never go how they're supposed to. I have 3 rules for a plan. Create the plan, expect the plan to go horribly wrong, get rid of the plan and go from there. Right now we are in step 3, and I'm just doing my best to keep the bad guys from knowing of the future." Naruto cancelled his transformation and went back to his kid self before looking up at the hokage. "So now you understand why this must be a huge secret, this is literally the biggest thing in the world. I don't care what secrets you think are important this outranks all of them." Naruto said with utmost seriousness in his voice.
"Naruto's right, hokage-sama, this is a mission unlike any other. We have to play ourselves without showing our ulterior motives and being caught. Because being caught means the destruction of our world as we know it and death." Kakashi said reinforcing what Naruto was saying.
Hiruzen nodded, "For now let us return, the preliminaries should be almost over, we mustn't let the others know anything, Naruto I'm going to send Jiraiya to get you after this so you can sign the contract with the toads and start training with him. I know you said not to tell him anything so I won't but I believe you should tell him everything and show him. I understand you might want to restart with him and make new, better bonds but you might have to let him in on this." The kage said, leaving Naruto conflicted on what to do because the old man hit it on the nail with that one.
"I'll think about it for now let us head back" Naruto said as his clones dropped the barrier and they returned home and left the office. But what Naruto saw when he got back to the arena was horrible, and he started to see red.
Authors Note: Little bit of a longer chapter because I put in some filler there that I felt should be shown, besides that I hoped you liked the chapter and the fight, Have a happy new years and I should be back after the holidays everyone. R&R!
