Hi, Both this chapter and the story are being rewritten. Because I saw that they were being very confusing and full of grammatical errors. So I decided to add scenes and fix bugs so you guys can enjoy.
Prologue
-Konohagakure no Sato Ninja Academy – June 1st Year 1065-
Established during the reign of Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, the ninja academy is the place that prepares future Konoha ninjas. As changes occurred in the ninja world, the academy was adapting, becoming much more than a place that teaches about ninjas; but resembling an ordinary school, offering options for those who chose not to pursue a shinobi career.
However, today is a special day when the auditorium is full of children; Himawari Uzumaki the writer of the great Mikomi Misawa Chronicles Series is on hand for a special autograph and Q&A session on the latest release.
The importance of the event is so great that even the Hokage is present. Students were arriving and in a few minutes the auditorium was packed.
As the academy students arrived at the grand auditorium, Himawari was thinking about everything she had done in her life up to that moment; from training to become strong to changing the course of history, but not before facing powerful enemies with the help of allies that were essential in this journey.
Once everyone has arrived, the Hokage begins his speech.
"Good morning to everyone, today is a very special day as it is not always that we receive a great writer and historian; who through her great works tell us about the deeds of our ancestors, in which we are proud and also in their mistakes that make us reflect so that they are never repeated. That with our respect we will applaud Himawari Uzumaki."
Many of the children began to cheer fervently as they were finally meeting the author of the stories they had seen in theaters. Due to the great success of the books, they were adapted into movies.
After the applause died down, Himawari came to the front of the stage in awe and spoke.
"I never imagined in all these years; I would have such a warm welcome as I have now with you young students. It is a great pleasure to be here to share all these stories and answer your questions."
The first person to stand up and ask a question was a girl with short gray hair and purple streaks on her cheeks that to the old lady was very familiar to her.
"Hello Lady Uzumaki; my name is Rin Hatake and I was wondering where you got so many messages that are present in the books?"
"What would you do to make the world a better place and how?".
Hearing the question asked, the old lady was surprised and then smiled. She remembered everything that had happened until the present moment, thinking about her family and her decisions that changed the course of history. And she replied.
"Hmm… a descendant of the Rokudaime Hokage, I expected no less." Young Hatake blushed at the emphasis with which Himawari mentioned her famous ancestor. "And I don't know exactly; but I'm sure I would do everything to ensure the maintenance of the peace we are living and having the ability to change the past if possible."
Everyone in attendance was marveled about Uzumaki's response without knowing that she was able to do what she's already just said.
Only the gods knew what really happened until she was there. This long story begins when Himawari was a teenager, but in another timeline.
-Gods realm-
Since the beginning of time the gods have always sought to avoid intervening directly in the World of Mortals, always in order to preserve the balance between the worlds. But from time to time when there were great threats, they intervened. Whether through major floods, earthquakes and other cataclysms, always ensuring the divine balance that seemed to be in no danger.
But everything changed in the last millennium when the Otsutsuki arrived on Earth in search of the Divine Tree to consume its fruit. This species is the newest creation of the beings who were defeated in the Divine War, who if they could would be closer to becoming as powerful as the gods.
Everything seemed to be settled when Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki, Kaguya's sons defeated her and rid the world of Juubi. But it went unnoticed in the eyes of the gods that the demon's plans were only postponed and thus waiting for the right moment to act again.
The moment of action came when the Fourth Shinobi World War happened because with the return of Kaguya, the Earth was placed under the radar of the Otsutsuki who were sent to investigate what happened. And as more than two decades unfold, the aliens are about to fulfill their harmful goals that their creators imagined is to free them from their prison and conquer the universe.
The situation is alarming and the deities were worried about what's happening with The Hidden Village in the Leaves in recent years, because they fear that the balance that reigns the universe from the beginning of the times is threatened and they know it borders on the impossible to of the Otsutsuki without causing an apocalypse. With that Kami and Shinigami looking to the unfolding of the latest events they reached a risky decision.
"These mortal beings think they can avoid it, but anyway they will always come to face me!" Shinigami apparently said with disgust.
"Unfortunately, this happens when the gods avoid interference in the world of mortals and let them act according to their will." Reflected Kami. They appear to be opposed, but he and Shinigami need each other to keep the spiritual balance that is threatened.
The decision that was made is very risky and that there would be no turning back, and the person who was assigned to perform the mission had arrived in the spirit world thirty-five years ago, just in a major event that caused great events.
"So, you think this person has the ability to perform this mission?" asked Shinigami suspiciously.
"Yes. Because that person died precisely during the Kyuubi Attack; and even to this day did not accept her death." Kami replied explaining about the choice.
"Now it makes perfect sense to use a person who passed away at that time, and I'm sure Jikan will explain the details." Shinigami concluded.
While the gods were debating, a female figure entered the room without knowing why she was called and introduced herself to the entities.
"Kami-sama, Shinigami-sama. What is the reason for my presence?" the woman asked.
"Mikomi-san, the reason is very simple. All here we know that you did not accept your death and I and Shinigami are here debating something that has to do with your death." Kami responded to the astonishment of the woman whose name was revealed. And it went on.
"This war has reached its climax, causing irreversible problems that even the gods cannot solve. And this is our last chance to avoid the end of the universe as we know it and Jikan will explain it to you better. " He concluded by Kami explaining the plans.
Mikomi was surprised when Kami asked her to go to the Time Room where Jikan and his subordinates control the course of time; without hesitation she went as far as the time keeper was to dig deeper into her mission.
When Mikomi went to Jikan's presence, the gods continued to argue about what was happening in the mortal world.
"We almost lost to Kaguya because of her immortality. With the Isshiki, we are seeing defeat will be inevitable and with Mikomi's mission will be essential to at least decrease the catastrophic effects caused by it."
After being warned por Kami and Shinigami, Mikomi went to Jikan's presence to learn more about what was going on. When she approached the Keeper greeted her.
"Greetings Mikomi-san, I hope Kami and Shinigami have warned you about your mission because it will not be easy".
"Yes, I know. What's your relationship with all this? " asked Mikomi confused, not knowing what's going on.
"Ah, it is very simple. You must remember when Boruto Uzumaki went back twenty years to the past together with Sasuke Uchiha to defeat Urashiki, but there is a difference in this time travel that we are planning, we planning to send you back at the time that the Yondaime Hokage was still alive. " Replied the Time Keeper.
Mikomi was surprised by what Jikan told her because she was able to go back to the past and avoid the event that brought her to that place. But soon Jikan continued.
"Before you start getting ideas, here is all the information you need for your mission." Jikan concluded by handing over several files with various names on the cover, including Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, Jiraiya and to Mikomi's surprise that of Tsunade Senju.
Mikomi already knew everything that happened to Minato, Kushina and Jiraiya as they already know them in the hereafter, but Tsunade shocked her when she read the file on the Godaime Hokage, Tsunade suffered two miscarriages that left her sterile, which may have put an end to the Senju Clan. The first miscarriage occurred after the death of Dan who was the father, the second was more surprising because after a night with Jiraiya, Tsunade became pregnant again and to add to her disgust, the second miscarriage occurred causing her infertility.
After reading the files, Mikomi was still trying to process the information she had just seen.
"I didn't know that Tsunade Senju suffered two miscarriages. and that one of those children would be Jiraiya's." Mikomi said in surprise.
"Nothing that happens in the impure world escapes our eyes, even secret truths that history books have ignored for ages."
Mikomi was confused to hear what Jikan had told her, but soon remembered about the details of Minato and Kushina's lives that fit the secret truths that the guardian answered.
"Maybe I can save Yondaime and his wife or maybe avoid Kyuubi's attack!" Mikomi thought about the possibilities of starting the mission.
"What's the difference between this trip and the one that Boruto and Sasuke did?" asked Mikomi, confused.
The Time Keeper looked at her seriously and answered her.
"The first difference is going to be the length of the trip, for example, Boruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha stayed a few days in the past and caused minor changes in the timeline."
"So, if I can, I can change all of these events and save some important people!" Exclaimed Mikomi, already imagining the possibilities of the mission.
The Time Keeper continued.
"Yes, and I know who you want to save but remember on certain journeys the path can be even different however it leads to the same destination. Continuing the other difference is that you will have help, however you will probably have to face powerful enemies who want the world to arrive in the situation it is in the present moment. "
When finally understanding what the Guardian had said, Mikomi left the room and went into Kami's presence to ask for authorization for the beginning of the mission.
After Jikan met with Shinigami and Kami, he was in his hall reflecting on when he had a vision in which he said: "The destiny will be traced by the actions of four people. To the descendants of Indra and Ashura, the princess heir of Homura and the one who came through ordinary people." Upon seeing this vision Kami realized a very important difference from what happened in the original timeline.
Originally it was Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Kakashi Hatake, who defeated Kaguya Otsutsuki, but this prophecy involves the Byakugan Princess Hinata Hyuga. Kami believes that there have been changes only because of the intention to change the past to possibly lessen the catastrophic effects of this tragedy.
Seeing that Mikomi was approaching to say goodbye to start the mission, Kami gave her one last piece of advice.
"Mikomi by the meaning of your name is what we feel in this mission because any mistake can be fatal. For the sake of the mission remember not even the gods are aware of the future because what writes it is the mortals, so when you arrive in the past you will find your old selves that will not remember giving the mission. Have good luck on that journey. "
The young woman could no longer contain the emotion when she heard what Kami said because she was already feeling that the destiny of humanity and perhaps the Pure World and that of Mortals were in her hands.
It was already a path without a return path because the mission had already started and Mikomi left for the mortal world more specifically in Konohagakure.
Then what she saw was darkness and slowly she enveloped herself in her sleep.
-Konohagakure no Sato ruins – Year 1019-
The battle had already started and it was clear that there was no turning back. A young blond man knelt on the rocky surface, holding his sword that was stuck in the ground. His face was covered with dust, and a few small cuts, and a big scar on his right eye.
There was a sense of calm about him as he kept quiet. He opened his left eye, it was blue, and faced his opponent in front of him.
"I don't know why you went so far, Kawaki." Boruto Uzumaki said calmly. Despite all the horrible deaths and destruction he witnessed, he still managed to control his anger.
His opponent, who was none other than Kawaki himself, was soon there holding his baton, looking at the blonde with pride and arrogance.
"No way; I will send you to where I sent the Seventh Hokage, Boruto. Kawaki declared cruelly. "It will be a new world under His rule and everything that exists in this current world must be erased. The Ninja Age is over."
Unbeknownst to Uzumaki, a certain worried blue-haired girl who managed to escape and survive the horrors and tragedies she had previously witnessed. When she arrived at the fight scene she was received by the concentration of all energy in that particular area. This gave her a feeling that it would end in a major catastrophe.
The young girl was covered in dirt and her clothes were almost a rag yet she didn't mind any of the recent aspects. Your mind focuses on your brother all the time. It didn't take long for him to express his concerns.
"I need to help you, Boruto!" Himawari stated apprehensively. She was nervous about her brother and was eager to protect and save him from the man, whom she treated as if she were family.
Boruto's eyes widened in shock when a familiar voice reached his ears. "Hima!? What the hell is she doing here !?" He thought when he prepared to attack his enemy.
When Boruto was thinking about his sister; Kawaki was approaching for the attack in which he threw the blonde towards the place where his sister was hiding.
"BORUTO !" shouted Himawari when he saw his brother lying on the floor. Seeing his sister approaching Boruto regained consciousness and went to his sister with a face of being in pain. "Hima, what are you doing here!? It is very dangerous to be here! ". Boruto said, surprised by the presence of his sister so close to the battlefield.
"I came here to help you nii-san !" replied the young Uzumaki.
"But how! You have no chance against him. Maybe he can kill you!" Boruto said, almost losing his patience, who continued: "I beg you to escape from here and go to a safe place. But don't forget I love you, my little sister."
Himawari in tears did what Boruto asked leaving the place but it was too late when she saw her brother with the sword hitting Kawaki with his staff, a huge wave of energy appeared with sparks of lightning appearing around the area that in seconds it hit her and after ocher, she lost consciousness.
The moment the shock wave was about to hit her; Himawari found herself in a white room in which she saw several projections showing various moments in her father Naruto's life but without understanding anything when she saw a person who looked like an elderly man with long gray hair.
"Himawari Uzumaki, we finally met and I could not wait to see you, but on another occasion with you much older. " The elder greeted her.
"From what I can see, you are not an ordinary person and why did you bring me here?" asked Himawari wanting answers.
"Good insight, young lady, but unfortunately we do not have time and we have to get straight to the point. I am Jikan, the custodian of time, looking to the past, present and future. " Jikan replied.
Himawari paled when the man introduced himself and thought he was disrespecting him, but was soon told not to worry.
"Do not worry about the formalities, because we have to talk about what is going on in the universe at all." Jikan continued.
"What more specifically about?" asked Himawari.
"About what you will see now." Jikan replied and showed her a projection and continued.
"What I am going to show you now are the most important events that have taken place in the past millennium. More specifically about the history of the ninja world from the advent of the Otsutsukis to the present moment in which we are. "
Every second that passed by Himawari was more surprised by what she saw, either by the story of the Sage of the Six Paths, or by the darkest secrets she discovered. More so, she found the answer to everything that left her in doubt about her ancestors and parents.
After the show was over, she wanted to clarify something else with the guardian about what she had just watched.
"I am very surprised, for example, I did not know that Sandaime's second term was as bad as I imagined and that Tsunade Senju suffered two miscarriages" said Himawari.
"About Sandaime, their wife's death affected him in ways you would never have imagined. About Tsunade, the abortions basically ended the lineage of the Senju clan." said Jikan.
"Do you want to know why I had to see it all?" Asked Himawari.
And the guardian replied.
"You will go to the past and try to change the course of history, but do not think it will be easy, because you will probably have enemies that will prevent you from completing your mission."
"What do you mean time travel!? Asked Himawari in surprise.
"Yes, exactly what you heard. You will go back to when Yondaime was still alive; not being born at that time forced them to make some adjustments for the great mission." The guardian explained to the young Uzumaki.
Jikan already expected Himawari Uzumaki to ask him about time travel which he explained to Mikomi on a separate occasion, but Himawari's case is a little more complex and needs a more detailed explanation. Wasting no time the guardian began the explanation.
"Very simple, as you weren't born then some adjustments need to be made. Your consciousness will be transferred to the body of a woman who died in the Kyuubi's attack and the events that could be altered will come from the period that occurred in the original timeline."
"Then that's it?. I will share a body with another person who died in the Kyuubi attack. But how will all this make a difference in this great mission?" asked Himawari, still doubtful.
"This woman you're going to share the body with, She was supposed to be working for your grandmother Hitomi Hyuuga and I hope that cleared up your doubts." Jikan replied more firmly.
Himawari nodded in agreement with the guardian and when she was about to say something a woman approached and left Uzumaki without understanding something, but preferred to remain silent.
"All ready for the start of the mission, just a few more members, more necessarily nine for the jutsu. I want you two to hold hands." ordered Jikan. The two were surprised when they saw nine creatures approaching.
Before any reaction, what was seen was a flash that enveloped them, before falling asleep.
-Konohagakure no Sato –November 3rd Year 982-
Another day begins in Konoha, still recovering from the recently ended Third Ninja War, more precisely in a simple residence where the Misawa family resides. In a room is Mikomi Misawa who woke up from a dream that disturbed her involving the destruction of Konoha and the death of the Hokage, and this intrigued her, as she did not know if it was a premonition or a delusion of hers.
Prediction or not, Mikomi thought it best to prepare for events that may occur in the not-so-distant future and that along the way she will find allies and enemies.
Meanwhile, in an unknown place, a hooded man is with what appears to be his subordinates, pondering measures to be taken.
"I believe that we should anticipate some of our plans, as I believe that there are risks of interference that will harm our actions. And for that we need to recruit more members." said the man
Without questioning the subordinates already understood what the leader said because they already expected something like that would happen.
Against his will, the leader of the organization has to put his plans into practice, but for that he will need powerful allies to face his enemies.
Mikomi (見込,) in Japanese means hope.
Regarding the counting of the years, I used as a reference the Fourth Shinobi World War which had Kaguya's return after a thousand years. Year 1 of the Age of the Sage of the Six Paths was when Hagoromo and Hamura sealed their mother away.
