Revelations - Part 1.

(Outer Worlders.)

30th March 1914 - Afternoon, Naruto's Bamboo Grove Training Area:

It was the afternoon after talking to Akane about her believes to what a true shinobi or kunoichi really was, and her thoughts about the Hokage and his dream to become one, it was a lot to take in and Naruto had a hard time getting to sleep that night as her words went through his head all night. As he thought about what she said about the Hokage and him, Naruto for the first time in his life began to think about it in a different light. As much as he didn't want to, he was seeing the man he saw as a grandfather in a different light.

Sure the old man got him his apartment and made sure his punishment wasn't as bad as it could have been should he get caught doing a prank, but what about the rest of it, why couldn't he do something about how the village treated him. Naruto knew that not everyone would not have listened to him, but Naruto thought there could have been something about them bullying him. Naruto begun to wonder, for a man who preaches about the Will of Fire, he doesn't seem to do much when one of his own family members is hurt and getting bullied by other family members.

Even if the old man couldn't do anything to stop it, the very least he could have done was to tell him why they hated him for, so that he could understand. Naruto had to wonder what could be so bad that the village hated him for, and why could the Hokage tell him the reason for. None of this made sense to Naruto, and for the first time in his life, he didn't know if he could trust the old man as he used to.

Next thing that kept him up was Akane's thoughts about what a true shinobi or kunoichi really was. Before yesterday, he always thought that a true shinobi was a hero, someone who save lives and do good, but Akane told him otherwise. She told him that a true ninja was only a hero to their own village and only when they won wars and make a name for themselves, otherwise, they were just highly skilled mercenaries, doing jobs that could put them in a bad light should anyone learn what they did: acts of assassination and terrorism.

Akane told that this was how ninja kept the peace for the rest of the world. They would do all the awful things so that those who aren't ninja don't have to, to keep their hands clean in the eyes of the public, as people would never know who hired the shinobi or kunoichi. As such, this was meant to prevent wars within the non-ninja world, which seemed to work seeing that Naruto didn't know of one war that didn't involve ninja. And should there be wars, they would do whatever it took to stop it as soon as they could.

However, the wars with ninja were the reason why so many people hated ninja, as so many people died because of their actions and wanted to see the end of the ninja world. As they believed that without shinobi and kunoichi, there would be no more wars. But Akane disagreed, as she believed that without the Ninja Village monitoring those with chakra, the wars could become much worse. As those who were able to control chakra would fight for those who are willing to pay for their services, which could lead to doing more damage.

She also told the young blonde teen that other than killing are criminals and Crime Lords, they might have to deal with threats to the Daimyō or a boss of a high ranking company. Or we start a terrorist attack for some reason but blame it on someone else. And in worse rare cases, they might have to kill children to prevent them from coming back for payback, whilst it was rare, it can happen.

Because of this, Naruto wasn't able to get to sleep until way past midnight, trying to figure out what to do about all this. He knew that he didn't have to kill children, but the thought of it made it hard to sleep. Because of this, he didn't wake until near lunchtime. He was thankful that he didn't have to go to the academy for another week, he could use this time to train and get better.

But once he awoke, Naruto decided to spend the day at Bamboo Grove that he sometimes train at, to experiment one of the tags that he created, a teleportation tag. He got the idea about a year ago when he was sent to see the headmaster of the academy after he set off some colour changing tags in the classroom, making the walls and desks change different colours. As he was sitting outside the headmaster's office, he heard two of the teachers talking to each other. They were talking about his hero, the Fourth Hokage, Lord Minato Namikaze also known as the Yellow Flash.

He heard that someone tried to recreate his Lord Minato's signature jutsu, the Flying Raijin Jutsu, an S-Class space-time ninjutsu. It allowed the user to mark a target with their 'technique formula,' where the user would then enter a dimensional void, which would allow the user to instantly teleport to a technique formula's location whenever they please, regardless of distance. Not only can the person teleport as far as he or she wanted, but they can mark as many people as they wanted too, and there was no way to remove the mark other than the same person who placed it on them to remove it.

With the death of the Fourth Hokage as he defeated the Nine-Tailed Beast, his signature jutsu went with him, no one knew how it was done. But over the years many people have tried to recreate it themselves, hoping to become the next Yellow Flash, and possibly the next Hokage. This jutsu was one ability that not even the Third Hokage could use, so there was little hope that someone else could do it, but it didn't stop people from trying.

When Naruto heard his teachers talking about this, he learned the person who tried to recreate the jutsu, they, like many before them, failed, he thought about recreating it himself. As if he was able to recreate his hero's signature jutsu, he would be one step closer in becoming one of the next Hokage. The problem with trying to recreate such a jutsu was that a) no one knew where to find the original jutsu to learn from it, and b) if they did find it, from what people knew of it, it was so complex that even if they found the jutsu it could be impossible for another ninja to use or copy. As you needed to be Kage level or higher to use.

And when he asked Tsume if she knew about this jutsu, she admitted she knew very little about it. All she knew about the Flying Raijin Jutsu was that Lord Fourth could only use it on himself or one item/person at a time, he couldn't take someone/thing else with him - or that's what she heard. Not only that but from what she heard, there's no limit as to how far he could teleport as long as he had something marked with his technique formula so he had a place to teleport. Other than that, she knew nothing about it and when she heard why Naruto wanted to know, she told him outright not to try as it was the most complex and dangerous jutsu she knew of.

But Naruto didn't care though, he wanted to try if it meant it would take him one step closer to becoming the next Hokage someday. But he soon found out how hard it really was to recreate the Flying Raijin Jutsu, there were very few books on such a jutsu. In fact, whilst there were many theories and ideas on how to create a teleportation jutsu, only the Flying Raijin Jutsu seemed to be the only known jutsu that was successfully created.

But knowing that there's no information on the Flying Raijin Jutsu, the young teen decided he would create his own teleportation jutsu, something that would be better than Lord Fourth's jutsu. Maybe then he would gain the respect of the villagers and maybe get one step closer in becoming the Hokage one day. But he needed books, this meant he was forced to ask Tsume for help instead of working on his own, but it couldn't be helped seeing he needed more advanced books than he already has.

Naruto was shocked that when he told Tsume his plans to create his own jutsu that she smiled and wish him luck, not only that though, but a warning too. She told him that space-time ninjutsu was a dangerous jutsu and that he had to be very careful about what he did, as it could end up killing him instead. But she knew that no matter what she said to him, he wouldn't stop and would try and create this jutsu either way. So to give him a better chance, to make sure he knew what he was doing, she would help him to get the books he wanted.

This was one of the few times that Naruto was willing to read books by his own free will, he wasn't forced to do so or anything. The reason was simple, it was something that interested him greatly and he could move about as he read them. Sure he could do so with his academy books once he returned from the academy, but with how he was treated at the academy, he had a bit of fear and dread when it came to the academy books and so tried to think about them unless he had to.

Not only that though, over the years he had more important things to work on, his training, he believed that his training was more important than his textbooks. As no one else was willing to help him train and get stronger, he had to do so himself and that took time. Something that unneeded textbooks would take him away from. Sure it might have made it easier for him in the academy, but seeing how the teachers didn't seem to care if he did well or not, he wouldn't bother trying.

So over the year, Naruto read many books on sealing and space-time ninjutsu whenever he got the time, making sure that before he created this new jutsu he had everything right. As because he knew how bad things could get if he did things wrong and he didn't want that, didn't want to hurt anyone or kill himself should things go wrong. But now he had a design that he believed that would allow up to create a new jutsu, one that would open a portal between tags. He was hoping that if this worked he could teleport people and items far and without putting people into danger. Now all he had to test for a while, to make sure it does as he opened it would and to make any fixes that needed to be fixed.

So here he was at the Bamboo Grove that he sometimes trained at, he came here because it was open and should something goes wrong he had open space to escape from, or if he was injured one of the ANBU would find him. Sadly he could only create two tags that day, as he ran out of tag paper and the ink to do the sealings on them, so he could only do the test once that day. Not that Naruto minded, the main test was to see if he could open a portal and if so find out if they work by throwing different items through them.

As he placed the two tags far enough apart, Naruto pushed some chakra into one tag and waited. If it worked as he hoped, the tag that he put chakra into would open a portal and then push the chakra into the other tag which should open the next portal. For a few seconds, seeing how nothing happened, Naruto thought that the test failed, but as he was about to pick the tags up, he had to jump back as a portal opened for him. Naruto happily clapped at this, seeing that the first part of the test was successful, but until the second portal opened he couldn't call it a true success.

Not knowing how long it would take before the second portal would open, Naruto started the waiting time as he pulled out a small sand hourglass and played the waiting game. This was another test he had to do, see how long it would take for the second portal to open. But within a few seconds of waiting though, two figures seemed to fall out of the portal, making Naruto would what the hell happened seeing how the second portal had yet to open and no one else was there.

Naruto Prime World - 30th March 1931

We start this part of the story in another world, a world many years ahead of our Naruto's life, where many things were different. One what was somewhat nicer to Naruto, where whilst the village hated him, he was mainly neglected and occasionally harassed than abused. In this world, as a child, Naruto had no parents like in many other worlds, in this world Naruto was left to his own devices by the village elders and Lord Third.

Where in our Naruto's world he had only four/five people he could trust, this Naruto had a few more he could trust, even though the rest of the villagers avoided him as much as possible and talked negatively about him behind his back, as they were all fearful of the demon trapped within him. This, like our Naruto, is why kid Naruto did so much vandalism and 'pranks,' by his own later admittance it was all in an attempt to get some type of attention, even if it was negative attention.

As this Naruto got older though, whilst there were many hardships and loses, he gained the respect and recognition that he always wanted. Whilst he didn't get his dream girl, Sakura Haruno, he married his true love Hinata Hyūga and in time he got two children, Himawari and Boruto and sometime later became the next Hokage.

But this part of the story isn't about this Naruto nor his family, but a young eleven-year-old girl by the name of Sarada Uchiha, the daughter of Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Uchiha née Haruno.

We find Sarada crying in a clearing miles away from the Leaf Village, after meeting her father for the first time for what felt like forever, in fact, it was seven years since her father last saw her when he left the village for a secret mission and has yet to return. She knew nothing about her father, why he had to leave and never once returned to see her and her mother, all her mother would tell her was that he loved her very much. If that was the case, why didn't he return to see her for And none of the villagers would talk to her about him, Lord Seventh, Naruto Uzumaki, that he was his best friend and a great shinobi nothing more? She didn't know what to think about this, she often wondered what were they hiding about her father?

Next was her mother, she would often cry about her father, but yet she would never talk to her about him when she asked about what's wrong, she would say it is nothing and shooed her away. Of late though, Sarada was wondering if she was even related to her seeing how she didn't look like her mother, nor neither of her parents has glasses and so this got her thinking. It didn't help that she found a photo, one where her mother was added to later in a separate photo, in front of another photo. This photo was of a group of people with her father, one of the people in it was a female who had the same glasses as hers, and this made her think that she was her mother and not Sakura.

It wasn't until early that day as she went to see the Hokage to try to learn more about her father and the woman in the photo she found, that was when she found out that Lord Seventh was going to meet up with her father. But at the gates, she meets up with Chōchō who she got to come with her so they had a cover story, that the two were going out of the village for a while training, the plans changed. As when Chōchō and her meet at the Main Gates, they saw Naruto's son, Boruto, brought his father's lunch but he missed him for mere minutes.

Boruto was pissed and she heard that he was going to give his own mother an earful about making lunch boxes for his father seeing he more than often leave the village without them. Oh how she hated how Boruto bitches about Lord Seventh, his father was Hokage and even if it has been a few years since becoming Hokage, Lord Uzumaki is busy trying to keep the village safe and peace among the other villages going. And to do this, Lord Seventh can't go home as much as he might have wanted or been there to pick up lunch boxes when it was important to leave the village as soon as possible. It wasn't easy to be Hokage.

Seeing this, Sarada was able to persuade Boruto, with the help of Shikamaru Nara, the Hokage's adviser, to allow her to take the lunch box to his father. This gave her two things, the first was where the Hokage was going and second, a cover story as to why she was following him in the first place. Although she knew the Hokage would see through that lie, but knew that he wouldn't allow her and Chōchō go back to the village alone and so would allow them to go with him.

It sort of went that way, they did find the Hokage, or more precise he found them. As about halfway to where the Hokage was meant to be going, Sarada and Chōchō by an unknown ninja. He had white skin and hair, that wasn't the strangest thing about this ninja, he had the Sharingan - something she thought only her clan should have. It was something that she had only awaken at the thought of meeting father this last few hours.

Sarada and Chōchō were able to hold him off for a bit, but he was stronger than they expected, it didn't help that they had no idea why he had attacked them. They were saved by the Seventh Hokage, who used his Nine-Tails Form to make him to retreat. Now that Naruto saved them, they shared the lunch that Sarada brought with them. Afterwards, Naruto said they come with him to meet Sasuke, in fact, he said that Sasuke would be sure to be happy to see her.

But the problem was that the moment that Sarada finally meet her father, he thought she was someone else and tried to grab her. If it wasn't for her calling her dad, she didn't know what would happen where he realized who she was to him. But before they could say more though, Chōchō and Naruto came into the temple. Then she let her father have it, asking who her real mother was, who the person in the photo with her father and giving him an earful about not being there for them and how she couldn't trust neither him nor Sakura.

She then asked one simple question, where was he all this time that he wasn't home all these years. But instead of answering her though, all he said was this, what he did had nothing to do with her. This broke Sarada's heart, as she hoped she would finally know why her father wasn't in her life. And so she ran off into a clearing sobbing, where we find her now, trying to figure out what to do.

After a few minutes of crying, she heard someone walking behind her, still on high alert with everything that has happened that day, she put her hand to her side of her, where she kept her kunais, she slowly turned around. She sighed a sigh of relief when she saw it was only Chōchō. (1)

"Are you alright Sarada?" Chōchō asked her friend.

"Honestly? I don't know what to think." Sarada told Chōchō, surprised that she was here comforting her. Truth was, other than her own drama, Chōchō normally tried to stay out of other people's drama, as she didn't know how to deal with it. She would prefer to eat her crisps, only deal with other people's drama if no one else was there to do so. So Chōchō either runs out of crisps to eat, or she really was worried about her. Either way though, she went only to tell her friend, "I always thought that when I finally get my father back, I thought he would beg forgiveness and would tell me that he was on some kind of special mission, visiting these wonderful lands and he would tell me about them. Tell me all the people and creatures that he saw. But it was far from the truth."

"Isn't it though?" asked Chōchō, "We dream of many things, but when reality hits, it's more often than not what we hope it would be. Like me, I hope that when I finally meet my true father, I hope he is rich, good and famous, but the reality could be that he is dead poor and ugly as hell."

Sarada chuckled at this, wanting to bring her style of drama into this, but she was right about one thing though. What they dream that would happen rarely do happen, more often the opposite happens or nothing at all. "I just don't know what to do Chōchō, I want the truth, to know one way or another who my real mother really is. And the way I can know for sure is to find this woman in the photo that I have and ask her myself."

"But how?" asked Chōchō, "Do you know where she is?"

However, before Sarada could say anything though, a portal opened and she and Chōchō were pulled into it. The last thing that both of them heard was Lord Seventh calling out to them as he ran to them, "Sarada! Chōchō!"

o0OoO0o

30th March 1914 - Afternoon, Naruto's Bamboo Grove Training Area:

Back with Naruto, as the two people fell out of the portal, he took a closer look at them and saw they were female teens. The first a dark-skinned girl with amber-coloured eyes and she had a noticeably heftier physique, she had light brown hair which was tied into two spiky ponytails, kept back with a pink hair-band. The rest of her hair is left hanging down behind her back, with her bangs hanging over her left eye.

She was wearing a sleeveless pink kimono, with a net t-shirt under it, a red sash with butterfly decorations tied around her waist, a pair of black arm warmers and regular shinobi sandals. The last detail about he was that both of her ears are pierced by grey stud earrings. At first, Naruto thought she could be part of the Akimichi Clan, but the problem with that was that she didn't have the facial markings.

The next girl had onyx eyes and hair, which she keeps shoulder-length, parts to the right, and tucks behind her ear. Her eyes were wide, cat-like shape, the eyelashes, they remind Naruto of Sakura's the pink haired bitch, not only the eyes but her facial shape. She was wearing a pair of red glasses. She was wearing a red sleeveless qipao shirt with the Uchiha crest on the back. She also wears a pair of lilac-coloured shorts, dark purple thigh-length stockings, black shinobi sandals, and long dark purple arm warmers. What Naruto didn't understand is how she got the Uchiha crest, he knew of the seven in the village and not one of them looked like her. So he had to wonder who she was and how she got the crest.

Upon exiting the portal and seeing a younger and fitter Naruto with a new outfit, the girl's jaws dropped, he was about an inch or so smaller, but they knew he still had a few years to grow. Either way, they were shocked and not knowing what was going on, Sarada had to ask, "Lord Hokage is that you? How are you so young and so hot?" Sarada couldn't help herself asking this, blushing mad as she did so. Sure he was good looking before, but whatever happened here had put him on a new whole level than before. And her crash for him just deepened.

Before Naruto could answer her with who she and her friend was and why she had called him Lord Hokage for, the portal behind her closed and the tag that created it went up in flames. As that happened, the other tag opened the other portal and once again another cute teen female fell out of it. Naruto had to wonder if he created a jutsu that summoned cute girls instead of a teleportation jutsu as he had planned to do. Whatever the case might be, it was a win for him either way.

Now as the girl fell out of the portal, it closed, much faster than the other one, but like the other one, the tag went up into flames, so he couldn't check what he did to redo it. As he knew the blueprints that he had for this jutsu wasn't meant to summon cute girls.

Now upon seeing the new girl, he saw that she had long dark blue hair which was in a hime style haircut, and she had sky blue eyes like him. Not only did she have the same eyes as him, but she had whisker markings on each cheek as well. But unlike him who had three whiskers on each cheek, she only had two - he had to wonder if she was related to him somehow. Now she was wearing a yellow coat with the village symbol on the back it, underneath it looked like she had a pink dress, he could also see that she had mesh leggings and black shinobi shoes. What stood out about her was that she looked like she came from a fight?

"Daddy? Is that you?" asked the young girl, shocking young Naruto.

First, the young black haired girl call him Lord Hokage and now this girl called him daddy, he was wondering what the hell is going on? Did he summon girls who seemed to know him and were messed up in the head or something? So wanting to get to the bottom of this he asked, "Who are you three? Why are you calling me Lord Hokage and Daddy for?"

"Himawari?" asked the black haired girl in shock, "What happened to you? Why do you look older?"

"Sarada? Chōchō? Is that really you?" asked Himawari, "What happened to you? Where have you two been for the last few two years? Why do you look so young?"

"What do you mean, me and Chōchō only got here, wherever here is, just a few moments ago." explained the girl now known as Sarada, "We were with your father, the one who was older than him," integrating to Naruto, "and the next thing we knew a portal opened and we were sucked to wherever we are now. The last thing we saw was your father trying to save us. What about you? What happened to you? Why are you here why do you look older?"

"Hey, who are you three and what is going on here?" asked Naruto, wondering what the hell was going on and what these three were talking about.

But these girls ignored Naruto as the girl known as Himawari told the other girls, "That was two years ago, dad told us that you disappeared in a portal. He said he believed that it was Shin Uchiha and his clones/children Shin Uchiha, as they not long attacked your father and mine after you disappeared."

"Who is this Shin character?" asked Chōchō.

"That's right, you don't know about them," Himawari admitted thoughtfully, "he was someone that a ninja by the name of Orochimaru's experimented on and followed said ninja for a while. Either way, from what I found out, Shin and one of his clones attack, during the fight, he escaped with Sakura. So mine and your father went to get Sakura back, going to Orochimaru first who pointed them to where he was. Then they went to get your mother, after a fight, they defeated Shin and saved Sakura."

"That's good to hear." admitted Sarada, whilst she has a few problems with her mother at the moment, it didn't mean that she wanted her hurt. "So what happened next?"

"Seeing how they couldn't find you at Shin's hideout, my dad with your mum and dad took the clones back to the Leaf Village where they stayed at the villages orphanage." explained Himawari, "However, when Boruto learned that you disappeared, he blamed his father for it and since then he never talked to him again."

"But it wasn't Lord Hokage fault," Sarada her Hokage and crush, "if I didn't leave the village I would still be there, I was the one that wanted to go out and learn the truth about my family."

"Oh, you know what my brother is like," Himawari reminded the black haired girl, "since our father became the Hokage, he hated father for not being there and put the village first above his own family."

"The fool," hissed Sarada, "doesn't he remember the speeches that your father and Lord Sixth give, the village is one great family, it is their job to protect everyone in it. He is acting like an arrogant splot child, not getting his own way. I heard him say once he wouldn't leave behind the ones he cares about, something he believed his father does."

"EXCUSE ME, BUT WHO ARE YOU THREE!?" Naruto called out, having enough of these three ignoring him, "Where did you come from?"

"Don't you know who we are father?" Himawari asked Naruto, hoping it was him, as she held off the urge to hug him, as a year ago when he fought against Kawaki and never been seen again. No one knew what happened that day, just that he made her father to disappear. It made no sense, Kawaki used to live with them happily, but one day he and her brother and his girlfriend, Sumire Kakei. There were rumours about what they were up to, nothing good, but there was no proof it was them. Then one-day Kawaki fought with her father and made him to disappear somehow.

Then not long after her father's disappearance, the three of them reappeared, destroying all of the Ninja Villages for some reason, starting off with the small ones and before long they got to the main Hidden Villages. There was a resistance, but with there being peace among the Hidden Villages, the training became relaxed and people were passive and complacent in their lives, never once did they believe that they would be at way again and so they won't be ready for a full out battle, unlike before they were at peace.

Before the peacetime, they were at constant alert of being attacked, training the kids to be ready to fight other ninja just in case war broke out. But now days though, there was no need to get kids to fight in wars, so they only trained them to fight bandits and taught them other staff, things that would help them get by for when they didn't have any missions to do. But this lead most of, apart from a few handfuls from each village, shinobi and kunoichi became weak and unready for real battles, which meant that they could put up a good defence up when their village was attacked.

But even with the resistance, they were no real match for Kawaki, Boruto and Sumire, all they were able to do was to hold them off for a short while. The last battle was at the Hidden Leaf Village, where the last reminding resistance was and where the strongest of ninja were, planning to do a last hope counter attack. During the fight though, Himawari asked her brother why they were doing this, which Boruto answered that they were doing it to get rid of shinobi and kunoichi of the world.

As he like Kawaki and Sumire believed that without them, the world would be a better place, their fathers would be with their family and not gone or wouldn't have experimented on them like in Kawaki's case, and not so many people would die. So to make the world a better place, they decided to get rid of the ninja system.

Either way, during the fight, a portal opened and pulled her in before closing behind her. Here she found herself in a Bamboo Grove where she found a young and fitter version of her father. She thought that she was transported to wherever her father was, a place that he became younger and better. After so long not seeing him and her mother killed by Sumire, she hoped that this was her father, even though part of her knew it might not be.

"Why would I ask who you were if I knew already?" asked Naruto, wondering what happened here, "Why are you calling me father? And once again, who are you and where are you from?"

The three girls were unsure what to think, nor what to do here. But they knew that whatever was happening to them, the best person to be with at the moment, to protect them, was none other than Naruto. They believed that no matter what was going on, any Naruto from any world or time would protect them. So Himawari said, "Well as I said, I'm your daughter and so that makes me, as much as it is hard to believe, Himawari Uzumaki."

"And I'm Chōchō Akimichi." Chōchō introduced herself.

And lastly Sarada introduced herself, "And I'm Sarada Uchiha."

"How is that possible?" asked Naruto, "I know of only seven Uchiha, and you're not one of them. Are you from the members of the Uchiha Clan that left the village all those years ago?"

"What are you talking about?" asked a shocked Sarada, "From what my mother told me, my father and I are the last of the Clan. Not only that, but she told me that none of the Uchiha Clan ever left the village?"

"What are…" began Naruto, but was stopped by his so-called daughter as she said, "Before you say anything dad, but can I ask a few questions. I think some of my questions will answer what is going on."

"Fine," Naruto told her, "but please call me Naruto, calling me father or dad just makes it sound so weird."

"Okay da- I mean Naruto," began Himawari, "first can you tell me what's the date? And are you still at the Leaf's Ninja Academy?"

Naruto found the question strange, but if it helped to explain what the fuck is going on, he was more than willing to answer these questions. As long as it didn't take too long. So he replied by saying, "the date is 30th March 1914, and yes I am still at the Academy."

"So that would make you thirteen," Himawari said mainly to herself, before asking Naruto, "how old do you normally become genin here?"

"Normally at twelve," Naruto informed the girl, "I tried the genin exams twice and failed both times. If I fail again, I won't be able to become a ninja."

"Hmm, interesting, not something that happened where we come from." this came from Sarada, she went on to ask, "Are you friends with Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno?"

"Those two?" Naruto asked darkly, "Why the hell would I be friends with them? One an emo who doesn't want anything to do with anyone, not even his own family and he believes he is better than most ninja around his age. Not only that, but he is gloomy as hell, and thinks negatively, thinking that no one had it worse than him. The other is nothing but a banshee, who hits and shouts at me for no reason other than asking her out for a year and being nice to her. All she cares about is the damn emo, even though he has no interest with any of his fan-girls who want to be part of his harem one day."

"Harem?" Sarada asked confused, sure she didn't know much about her father, but from the little she knew about him, she didn't think he was into this sort of thing.

"Have you heard of Clan Restoration Act or C.R.A for short?" Naruto inquired.

"No, I don't think so." admitted Sarada, as far as she knew, she never heard of it before.

"Will, the C.R.A makes it so that the last few members of a Clan to be forced into a marriage to rebuild their Clan," explained Naruto, "so that males would have to take up to at least three women. But if only women are left, they would become nothing better than baby factories, giving birth to children no matter if they wanted to or not."

The girls looked ill at this, seeing how such an act could force a woman to bleed children, year in and year out, no matter how they felt about it. For most men, it would be a dream come true having more than one woman to sleep with, but on the other hand depending on who they were forced to be with, could become a nightmare, seeing how the woman could be controlling and a nightmare.

But with this, though Himawari sighed as she said, "I'm sorry Sarada, Chōchō, but from what Naruto has told us, it looks like we're in a parallel universe."

"What's a parallel universe?" asked Naruto, confused, he never heard of this parallel universe before and by the looks of it, neither did Sarada or Chōchō.

"Hmm, how to explain this?" Himawari asked herself thoughtfully before she said, "Basically there are some people believe that there are alternate worlds out there, some are the same as us, with chakra and such, with the same history but slightly altered somehow. Like if people went right instead of left and those actions change how something happened in that world, or where a few people are born early or later, which alters how things go and so on. Some also believe that there are worlds that don't have chakra, but either some other mystical force or no powers at all and that the landscapes are different somehow."

Himawari saw that her friends from her world, she thought they were from her world, and the Naruto from this world seem to be lost at what she was telling them. So with a sigh, she said, "Is there somewhere we can talk privately? This'll take some time and I don't want others to overhear what is said. Also, I have more questions about this world, and I know that you have questions too."

Whilst Naruto didn't like sharing his secret training facility, but if want answers, he would have to share it with these girls. So with a sigh, he informed them about it, "I have a place that I train that no one else knows about, so we can go there. But only if you agree not to tell anyone about it, as I don't want to be spied on whilst training, I want to keep what I do to myself and those I trust."

"I have no problem with that, it is the ninja way, to keep things from others so that they won't know what hit them." Himawari told her father look alike, as the other two girls nodded in agreement. So Naruto leads the three to his training facility.

o0OoO0o

Naruto's Secret Training Facility:

When the three girls arrived at Naruto's Secret Training Facility, they were awed and shocked about this. As the Naruto they knew didn't have such a place, in fact, from what Himawari learned, until he became a genin, he didn't take his training seriously. Sure he trained, but not as serious as this Naruto seemed to be taking it. Even after becoming a genin, he didn't do much training, then again, from what Himawari learned, that was partly down to Lord Sixth, Kakashi Hatake.

From what Naruto's daughter learned over the years from her father's personal journals, Kakashi was his Jōnin sensei, and whilst her father might think he was a good teacher, she did not. Reading between the lines and talking to people, Kakashi was often late for each of their missions other than the high profiled ones, and unless one of them were at risk, they he wouldn't bother to train his team. She couldn't believe it, as a sensei, she believed that it was their job to fix their student's problems, like her father's chakra control and taijutsu problems that he had as a child. Instead of helping her father himself, Kakashi had others to train him or Naruto had to train himself. By all accounts, as much as she loved her father, he was an idiot and only survived as a child by dumb luck and the powers boosts that he gained over the years.

But this Naruto seemed to be different, not only was he training to become a better ninja, but he also had two pet kitsune. She had to wonder what changed to take his training to become shinobi seriously.

That question would come later, for now, once she got to Naruto's training area, she informed this Naruto the highlights about her world. As she did so, seeing how Sarada and Chōchō agreed to what was said in the parts they knew about, she was 98% sure they were the girls from her world. There was that slime chance they won't but by the looks of things they were the girls from her world.

"No offence, I know he is your father and all, but this other me is an imbecile." Naruto told Himawari, "If it wasn't for luck and the sudden power boosts that he gained other the years, he would have been killed many times over."

Sarada and Chōchō could nod at this, as much as they liked the Seventh Hokage, they had to wonder what a fool he used to be. He didn't think about his actions, which lead his team to bail him out of a lot of trouble, trouble that could have been prevented if he thought about things for a few moments or listened to his team. Not only that, but he did many stupid things to gain attention. They were lucky that he changed over the years, now they knew what he was like, they were thankful that he had Advisor Shikamaru, otherwise, they didn't know what could have happened.

"I know, I love my father, but I too thought that when I learned about his past." Himawari admitted with a sigh.

"I'll admit, like your father I have problems with written work and I'm more of a practical learner than a theoretical learner." Naruto explained to the girls, "And whilst I love pranks and not the smartest of people, I'm not that ignorant and unfocused to know that I have to train to get what I want."

"So what changed, what made you go left in life instead of right?" asked Himawari, "What happened so you didn't take the same path as my father? I don't think that it was just not being ignorant and unfocused like my father that made your life different."

"Honestly other than being born before your father, I'm not too sure what changed?" Naruto informed the female teen, "But by the sounds of things, your father's life was much better than mine, more of an innocent one, yes he had problems he was never treated as badly as mine. Maybe that's why, I saw how life really was and knew that if I wanted anything I had to go out to get myself. Although on my eight birthday I did get a few notes and gifts, the notes said that if I wanted to become a great shinobi one day, I should train hard, and they give a few ideas into what I should train in."

"I see." Himawari said thoughtfully to herself before asking Naruto, "So you don't know sensei Iruka Umino?"

"No, don't think I do." the blond informed the other teen, "Other than Mirai and Aiko here," pointing to his kitsune who were sitting next to him, "the only ones who really helped me out was Hana Inuzuka and her mother Tsume."

"Wow." the girls gasped in shock as Chōchō said, "So you know the Head and the Heiress? I'm amazed, back where we came from, they keep to themselves for some reason, only coming out the Clan Compound for missions and even then, they don't talk much. It is said they are the Villages Ninja Hunters, but that's only a rumour. Of the main Clan Head family, the only ones we see often around the village is Kiba and his partner Akamaru."

"That tosser, he and his pain of a sister Kawa, are nothing more than a pain in the ass." Naruto informed them with a huff, the only reason he didn't knock some sense into them was that they were related to Hana and Tsume and respected them and so wouldn't hurt their family. But that didn't mean that if they didn't change soon, family or not, he would knock some manners into them.

"Whilst there's no Kawa in our world, I know that Kiba used to be a hothead, but as he grew older he lost most of his wild side." Himawari informed Naruto.

"This is all good and all, and whilst I would like to know more about this world and allow Naruto about our world, but I for one want to know how we got here in the first place." this came from Sarada.

"Yeah and how do you know all this about your father and his past?" asked Chōchō.

"To begin with how I know about my father and his past is because I found his journals," explained Himawari, "I found them because of a plan that was in place when I left."

"What plan is this?" asked Sarada, "What happened in the years since I left that you would need to find your father's journals?"

"War, in my last year or so there was a war where a group of people destroyed all apart for a handful of Hidden Villages and only a few of their shinobi and kunoichi have been killed. There was a resistance, but because of peace among the villages, we only lasted about a year."

"What, how?" asked a shocked Chōchō, neither she nor Sarada could believe that all apart for a handful Hidden Villages and a few of their shinobi and kunoichi were destroyed so easily. "There were many powerful ninja when we were still there."

"That might be true, but let me tell you when they say that peace is good don't believe them," Himawari told them bitterly, "sure for a short while it is fine and dandy, everything seems to be okay, no wars, no reason to fight, everyone happy. Let me tell you something that's full of bullshit. Because of peace, the villages became passive and complacent, seeing no reason to train their ninja to fight to kill, only learn enough to defend yourself against the odd bandit attacks and a few rogue ninja. No, peace isn't good, not if the price of being able to defend yourself properly at the times of war."

"But isn't it a good thing that we don't have to train to fight in wars?" asked Chōchō.

"You would think so, that is until the war lands on your doorstep and it would be too late." Himawari told them darkly, "By the time war comes around, it is most likely too late to do anything. You have to rely on luck not to get killed and hope to get trained fast enough to fight back, if not, many can die. When the war started, people were unprepared and many died. I say that we should have kept the old system, treaties and uneasy alliances and thinking that one village is out to get the other. At least that way people would be battle ready and wouldn't get caught unaware."

"And the reason for searching for your father's journals?" asked Sarada.

"Well, the final stand was at the Hidden Village of Leaf," Himawari began to explain, "but if we fail to stop the attack on the village, there was a plan to use a new space-time ninjutsu. This ninjutsu would allow one person to go back in time, the plan was to go back into time to prevent you two from disappearing."

Sarada, Chōchō even Naruto was shocked to hear that someone was able to create a jutsu that would allow someone to go back in time, but Sarada and Chōchō had to wonder why their disappearance would start a war that would end most of the villages and kill many shinobi and kunoichi. So Chōchō asked, "Why would you try and stop us from disappearing, I don't think I'm that important that it would start the end of the ninja life."

"Drama queen much?" Naruto muttered to himself.

Sarada chuckled at this, this Naruto didn't her friend and yet he seemed to know what she was like already. Before she could say anything, it was Himawari who said, "It wasn't just you, but both of you that disappeared that the war happened, or at the very least added two more people to the group known as Kar, Boruto and Sumire?"

"What?" asked a shocked Sarada, "I know that Boruto had problems with his father and Sumire had problems with the village before, but that was dealt with. Why would they join a group to destroy the villages for? And who are the Kara?"(2)

"Not much is known about the Kara, all I know is that your father and mine had a few run-ins with them, other than that not much is known about them." Himawari told the young girl, "All is known is that Boruto and Sumire along with a boy named Kawaki joined the group and at some point kind them and took over, before going out and destroying the Hidden Villages and killing most of the ninja from each other of the villages."

"But why though?" asked Chōchō.

"Honestly I don't fully know." admitted Himawari, "But the way they say it, they believe that the world without shinobi and kunoichi would be a better place. Each having their own thoughts for why they believe this."

"Bullshit!" this came from Naruto, "I'll admit that I haven't thought about this until recently, but I learned that without the Hidden Villages, things could get so much worse."

"How so?" asked Chōchō, who never thought about this before, like Sarada.

"From what I've been told, a Ninja War only happens for a few reasons," Naruto told the cute plump girl, "either they fear one village is too powerful and they might be a threat or already become one, or someone did or said something to piss off a Kage or Village Leader. But without a Hidden Village, wars could happen more often and for less reasonable reasons, like taking over lands and resources. A Hidden Village not only control those with chakra and keep track of them, not only that, but they do jobs so that stops the rest of the world going to war."

Chōchō and Sarada were shocked to hear this, they never heard about the Ninja Villages like this before. As they thought about it, they realized that without the Ninja Villages, those with Chakra could learn how to mould their abilities in another way. In doing so, unless they have a system to keep track of them and control them somehow, they could do any job they wanted and make things so much worse. Many people could die because of this.

Realizing the problems with that, Sarada had to ask, "If that's the case, why would Boruto do this for? Doesn't he realize the problems of destroying the Ninja Villages?"

"To be honest no, I don't think he does and if he does he doesn't care." Himawari informed the black haired girl, "To him, it was because of our father and the shinobi world that you were gone, not only that, but it's because of the shinobi world that so many people had gotten hurt. So he and the others believe that without the shinobi world and allowing the Feudal Lords to take control of those who have chakra, the world would be a better place."

"Why would your brother think that?" asked Naruto.

"I think it's because, in our world, peace was a bad thing for the shinobi world." Himawari told Naruto, "With peace, came less and less jobs for shinobi and kunoichi, shinobi was needed less over time seeing how we were at peace, there was no need for our services. So I can only guess that Boruto and the other believe that Feudal Lords could handle it."

Naruto nor the other two girls knew what to think about that, if there was no need or ninja in the other world, what was the point of becoming one other than tradition. As they were trying to figure this one out, Sarada asked, "What if you couldn't stop us from disappearing?"

"That's where the true reasons for finding my father's journals, should whoever is sent to stop you from disappearing fail, they were meant to go back farther in time." Himawari told Sarada, "It was stated that we should try and alter the past for the better of the shinobi world and save as many lives as possible."

"But wouldn't that mean that if you did that, we might not be born?" asked a worried Sarada, fearing that if she did go back to her world, she and Chōchō might not exist.

"That's the risk that they were willing to take." Himawari told them,

"What!? Why!?" asked Sarada and Chōchō together, before Chōchō went on to ask, "Why would you be okay with altering the timeline for, we might not be born in this new timeline if their plan works?"

"Do you really think I like the idea that I might not be born if we went through with the idea?" Himawari asked the young girl with a sigh, "Because let me tell you I don't, but the alternative is much worse - nearly all of the Hidden Villages destroyed and thousands upon thousands of people killed. This was the final hope to save the shinobi world if we won't be able to stop this attack, the last ditch hope. Even if it meant that some of us might not be born. If there was any other way, we would have taken it."

Sarada and Chōchō couldn't believe how bad their future was, if they were willing to take this course of action and that they couldn't think of anything better. For all they know, staying here could be the only option for them, seeing how they are here. It means one of two things, first was that those from Himawari's time won the fight and no need to go back in time - this was the best outcome of the two. The other option, which was the worse option, was that they were unable to stop them from disappearing, they went back into time to alter the outcome.

So if they went back to their own world and if they altered time or not, they might not exist in that new timeline and no one would know who they were. So they were better off here until they knew for sure. But that leads to the question how did they get here in the first place and was it possible to get back. So Sarada asked, "So, how did we get to this world in the first place?"

"To be honest I don't know." admitted Himawari, "As far as I know, should they have done the jutsu, it should only send a person back in time, not to send them to another world."

"What about you Naruto, what were you doing when we came to this world?" Sarada asked suspiciously, wondering if he had to do something to do with them being here.

"I was testing a new jutsu that I invented." Naruto informed the black haired teen.

"Oh and what is this jutsu?" Himawari asked him in surprise, in her world her father only created one jutsu the Sexy Jutsu, other than that he didn't create one thing. So she had to wonder what he could have created.

"It's a teleportation jutsu, I was hoping to create a portal that would allow me to go one place to another," Naruto explained to them, "I don't think this jutsu were a problem."

"How does it work?" asked Himawari, "Could you have made a mistake?"

"I don't know," admitted Naruto, "I created tags to allow me and those with to get to places with ease, I created a blueprints of them which is back at my apartment. You can check on it if you want, but I don't think I made any mistakes on it. Although, I can't say that the tags that I used to do this test didn't have any problems, I could have missdrew the tag somehow or something was wrong with the paper or ink were wrong."

"So why not check these tags to see if this is the case?" asked Chōchō, hoping to find a way home, "Maybe if we know what you did wrong, maybe we can find a way back to our world."

"I would, but the tags were burned away the moment that you arrived here." Naruto informed them, not sure how that happened. The only reason he could think of was that there was too much chakra going through the tags upon opening the portals, so they became alit and went up into flames. So he let the other knew too, "I believe that the chakra to open the portals were too much, so I need to get more paper and ink, and check and if that's the case if so, I'll need to get better paper and ink."

"So unless we find a problem with your blueprint of your tags, there's no way for us to get back where we're from?" asked Chōchō, worried that she and the others wouldn't be able to go back to their world.

"Sadly I don't think so." Naruto told them sadly.

"And even if the blueprint of the tag don#'t turn up something, even if da - Naruto can copy the mistakes that brought us here, it doesn't mean we could be sent back to our world even time." Himawari told the other two girls, before the girls could ask why, Himawari went on to say, "As there are so many alternate worlds out there, finding ours can be near impossible and if it was his jutsu is the reason we were sent here, we don't know why we were picked from different times. So even if it is possible to send us back, it would be impossible to know if we can be sent back to our world."

"So we're stuck here?" Sarada asked darkly, unhappy that she couldn't get back to her world, to her father and mother.

"Unless we can find out how we got here in the first place, I'm sorry to say that yes we are stuck here." Himawari told the black haired girl.

Sarada and Chōchō didn't know how to react to this, knowing that they may never be able to return home to their friends and family. Deciding to find out at least why Naruto would create such a jutsu that ended up bringing them here, Chōchō asked, "Why did you decide to do such a jutsu?"

"It started off to recreate the Fourth Hokage's signature jutsu, the Flying Thunder God Jutsu." explained Naruto to the cute plump girl, "But seeing that like many others failed to do so, I decided to create my own teleportation jutsu, one that would allow more than one person to be teleported."

"Why would you want to recreate grandfather's jutsu for?" asked Himawari. She didn't realize how this one question just altered Naruto's future.

"Grandfather?" asked Naruto, as something clicked into the back of his mind, as he remembered that she called him father at the start. So he asked darkly, "Are you telling me that my father is none other the Fourth Hokage, Lord Minato Namikaze." As he heard this, the shadows and darkness began to draw to him as he began to get angry, for years he wanted to know who his father was and no one seemed to know or willing to tell him.

Sure most people might know this, but he knew for sure that Third Hokage knew and that's he was angry at. For years he asked the old man who his parents were, but he always told him that he never knew who his parents were. But seeing how his father was the legendary Hokage of the village, how could the old man not know who his father was.

"In my world he was my father's father, not sure about him being yours, but it is more than likely he is." Himawari informed the Naruto of this world.

"If this is the case, does it mean that he also has Kyūbi in him like Lord Seventh as in him?" asked Chōchō.

"Kyūbi? You mean the Chakra Beast that my father meant to have defeated all those years ago?" Naruto asked shock, unable to believe what he was hearing. "I thought it was dead."

"This wasn't the way I would have liked you to find out, but yes you have the Kyūbi or Kurama as dad calls him." Himawari informed Naruto, as she gave a disappointed look to Chōchō for opening her mouth about this. But now the truth is out, she went on to explain, "You see you can't defeat the Tailed Beasts, you can only seal them away within a person who became known as a Jinchūriki. And as long as the seal is done right, the Tailed Beasts can't do any harm. So when Kurama attacked all those years ago, grandfather had to seal him away in you."

Here the shadows covered Naruto's body, as Mirai and Aiko hissed in anger, feeling what their master was feeling. If you look carefully, you could see that two shadow like tails forming behind Naruto. As he thought about it, what Himawari just told him, things started to click into place. Why people hated him, wanted nothing to do with him, bullied him and overcharged him for his shopping. He always wondered why they would do such a thing, now though he knew, they knew that he had the Nine-Tailed beast that attacked the village within him. So they took their anger for what the Kyūbi did out of him. This made Naruto even angrier, he sneered as he said, "Those fuckingh fools, because they don't know the difference between a storage scroll and a kunai. Why the fuck didn't anyone tell me this?"

"I, I don't know." Himawari told Naruto in shock, fear and awe at the sight of the power he was showing off. She didn't feel the chakra of the Tailed Beast within him, so knew it wasn't that power that he was giving off. It would seem that whatever was happening to him, it was his own chakra doing it and that amazed the girls. This Naruto seemed to have more power than the Naruto they knew back in their world. "But from what I was able to find out, the Third Hokage wanted you to have a normal childhood, so he created a law forbidding anyone from ever talking about it to anyone or hurting you because of it."

"Some childhood." Naruto told her darkly, as the two tails began to turn from shadows to real life fur. Naruto didn't see this, out of his anger, but the girls were shocked to see this. Not only was he angry at the villagers and the Third Hokage, but at his father too. He didn't know what his father had hoped, but it would seem that he had no plan in place to keep his own son safe from these fools. Little did Naruto knew, but everything that the Third Hokage done to him all those years ago to prevent him from harming the villagers and thoughts of leaving the village, were starting to fall apart as his anger slowly chip away at the seals.

But before Naruto would react on these fools though, he had to learn more about what Himawari told him. With that, the darkness formed into what looked like a portal, Naruto didn't know how, but he knew this would lead to the Hokage. So turning to the girls, he said, "I need to see the old man all about this."

Himawari knew that if she allowed Naruto go as he was now, they would think that Naruto was Kyūbi reborn. But she knew that right now words wouldn't stop the male teen from leaving, she had to shock him to claim him down and make him think. So she did the only thing she could think of right then, she walked up to him and pulled him close to him and kiss him.

To be Continued!

Author's Note:Here ends the first chapter of the final saga of Ninja Overlord - Part 1, if there's anything you would like to see in the last saga before we get to the second part of the story, please let me know, I hope that you enjoyed the chapter and how I added the three girls. I have rearranged chapter seven and eight so that they become chapter fourteen and fifteen so the chapters after them don't seem like a flashback and so hopefully less confusing.

(1) Yes, I know it was Naruto who talked to Sarada and not Chōchō, but I have done this so that I can send both to my Naruto's world. Otherwise, everything up to then is canon.

(2) I know that what I'm writing about the Kara isn't canon, but I haven't read Boruto and the little of the anime I watched, I found boring as hell and so stopped watching it after Sarada found her father. So anything I write is either something I write up to fit my needs, or is something Boruto fan theories came up with.

Now, I'm looking to add more missions to this story, seeing how Naruto only did sixteen missions altogether from what the data-book tells us, so I'm hoping to add a few more missions here and there. So I hope you can help me to come up with a few ideas. If you have any ideas for missions, I would like you to set them out like this please:

Mission: Name of the mission.

Rank: D-Rank or C-Rank missions (Don't want B-Rank or A-Rank missions and NO S-Rank missions.)

Pay: 5,000 to 50,000 ryō for D-Rank missions or 30,000 and 100,000 for C-Rank missions, would like a few high paying missions.

Description: What the mission is about
