Chapter 1
"Wake Up BAKA!" Sakura yells but in a worried and panicked tone.
The last thing that Naruto remembers is watching Sasuke fight Garra. However, Naruto and many civilians were placed into a Genjutsu, forcing them asleep. Then the invasion was under full swing. That's where we pick up as Sakura wakes Naruto from the Genjutsu.
"What's up, Sakura-chan?" Naruto then sits up and looks around. "Holy shit! What happened? Are you okay? What's going on with the-" Before Naruto could continue on the speel he was on, Kakashi cut him off.
"The Leaf is under attack, and Sasuke is going after the sand siblings. This is your mission. You, Sakura, and Shikamaru will catch up with Sasuke and get back together WITHOUT DYING." For the first time since Wave, team 7 was reminded that Kakashi was an experienced Jonnin.
"HAI SENSEI!" The last two members of team 7 say before Kakashi summons Pakkun and gives him a rundown of the situation and something to smell to help find Sasuke.
"Pakkun here will lead you directly to Sasuke. Sakura, wake Shikamaru and get going."
They head towards Shikamaru to wake him, but it seemed that he wasn't even in a Genjutsu, just asleep, so after a quick slap followed by a troublesome Sakura explained the situation to Shikamaru.
Meanwhile, Naruto was highly focused on how he and his impromptu team could get to Sasuke quickly. Then he remembered the new Jutsu he learned from Pervy Sage and how far Gammabunta could jump.
'If I use that cool Jutsu, then we'll be able to get Sasuke-teme faster and get back even faster. HE HE' Naruto thought, and the moment the team lands outside the stadium, provided by the hole Guy Sensei, Naruto attempts to summon Gammabunta. However, two things happen; Gammabunta isn't summoned, and the chakra smoke is much smaller. Instead of a toad, something else is summoned. Well, someone else.
IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE
"Konohamaru, today I'm going to show you something that will open a whole new world for you." Naruto says to a Chunin Konhamaru
"Today, I will show you the Jutsu that has been a key part of my ninja career. Today, I'll show you the Summoning Jutsu."
"WAIT, WHAT!? Are you making a toad summoner?" Konohamaru exclaims.
"Today? No. But I will summon the Toad Boss Gammabunta because he hasn't met you yet. As I said, I'm just showing it to you; ya know. I know that you might want to be the summoner for the Monkeys like Jiji, so I'm not going to force you to make a decision. I'll show you. Then we can get someone to show you the monkey dude. Then take some time to think about it."
After nodding, Naruto started doing the hand seals to summon Gammabunta. However, just like in another universe, something weird happened. Naruto slammed his bloodied hands onto the ground, and a 1 in a ten googolplex possibility occurred.
Many universes have parallel twins that are born at different times. For example, a person who is 12 in one can be 22 in another because the 12-year-old person's universe was born ten years apart from his counterpart universe. In many of these universes, events like the Nine-Tails attack or the Uchiha Massacre happen the same way. The distance between these other universes is so enormous that it is impossible to measure it past a certain point accurately. However, once a universe enters that range, that goldilocks range of measurable distance, that universe is now defined as close.
The world where Naruto would choose to use the summoning technique before getting to Sasuke and fighting Garra and the world where Naruto shows Konohamaru the summoning technique by summoning Gammubunta are two worlds that got "close". The theory by S. P. Wonky states that when worlds/universes are "close", a chance of a crossover is probable. For these two worlds, time and space Jutsu gets weird, and done by the same person gets wonky. Now, summoning becomes a game where you can get anything from either universe. However, if the two alternate persons summon up the exact level of chakra, then a phenomenon transpires.
The two charka points lock on to each other, and then the game is now a chance to see who gets pulled into which universe. This phenomenon is so rare that what causes someone to get pulled into the other universe is unknown. Today, the older Naruto lost that game of chance to his younger counterpart. So the moment Naruto (for now on, I'm calling the older Naruto, Maelstrom, and the younger one Naruto, but they will still be Naruto, but I'll call them when referring to them) slammed his hands on the ground, Maelstrom appeared.
The doppelgangers look at each other before a voice cuts into their thoughts.
"NARUTO, Come on … we… have… to-" Sakura confused by the 5-foot-5 blonde in front of a much shorter teammate. 'One second, Naruto was behind us doing something, then we land on outside the stadium, and this man appeared in front of Naruto. Shit, he's a ninja.'
With that quick conclusion that a possible sand ninja was able to get between her and Naruto, Sakura went on the offensive.
Shikamaru, thinking the same thought as Sakura, did a quick shadow possession to hold the shinobi for a second.
"Woah, where the hell am I?" After saying that, Maelstrom breaks out of the hold Shikamaru placed him in and blocks the punch and stab from Sakura. "Why are y'all attacking me? And why do y'all look so small? And why is there another me?" Maelstrom asks, perplexed.
"You-you look like me?" a very bewildered Naruto says.
"No, you look like a younger me. Where are-?"
An explosion keys everyone into the battles all over the village, which keys Maelstrom on exactly when and where he is since the Konoha he knows is a divot in the ground.
Pakkun walks over to Maelstrom and sniffs him, then Naruto. "You two smell the same, and the Konoha forehead protector makes me think that you two are the same people. And the fact that you know these two."
"Troublesome. One Naruto was enough; now I got another one. We have to continue with the mission. Come on, older Naruto. We'll clue you in as we go."
"I'm very much confused, but ok," Maelstrom says, following along across the rooftops. However, after a few seconds, Maelstrom speaks again after noticing the snakes and Hokage Mountain, not to mention the purple box over the Kage Box. "I already know the situation. It's the invasion of Sand and Sound. Y'all have your mission. I'll make my own. It'll help stop the invasion. Take this shadow clone to help, ya know."
Maelstrom then makes five shadow clones. Four of them run off ahead into the forest, and the final one stays with Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru, and Pakkun.
"See ya." and with that, Maelstrom jumps off toward the stadium in an arc making ten shadow clones every few jumps.
X x X
Maelstrom lands on top of a building next to the stadium. A few of his clones have been taken out, but out of 50, that's really good. Naruto starts gathering Natural Charaka. When he was fighting against the invasion of Sand and Sound, he only saw the aftermath. Hearing the deaths of hundreds of Shinobi and Civilians was something.
'This was the day, so many died. The day Jiji dies. The day I beat Garra and became friends. This is an important day, but I can help by ensuring that Jiji doesn't die if I'm here. I can help by making sure so many people don't die. I can't save everyone, but I can help this invasion end that much quicker.' Maelstrom thought and stood because he had now entered Sage Mode. Two Shadow Clones are made and start gathering wind chakra and keeping everything together. After a few seconds, a whine can be heard. With every passing second, it gets louder. Growing in pitch and volume until the whine and screech can be easily heard around the village. Maelstrom's two clones let go and stand in formation to protect the boss. They create Rasengan of their own and jump towards the purple cage.
Once in the air, Maelstrom targets one of the four corners and throws the Wind Release: Big Rasenshuriken. The Rasenshuriken curves in such a way that it will curve into the box after cutting through the corner and everything there.
The Rasenshuriken's whine gets not only more prominent but louder. The rotating blade of pure wind charka gets closer to the person inside, the person who happens to be Kidomaru. Kidomaru slowly gets cut in half and then torn to bits after a few seconds when the Rasenshuriken passes through him. His face was one of pure terror and horror. The barrier without one of the corners just falls apart, forcing the Sound Four to run from the Anbu.
The next part all happens within a few seconds. Inside the cage, Orochimarujust brought back the two Hokages to fight Hiruzen. However, a Rasenshuriken flies into not only the Impure Resurrected Hokages but also Orochimaru. Since the Rasenshuriken was traveling in a curve, only the hips and lower were separated, but the Resurrected Hokages were brought down to some feet and shins. The next thing that happened was the two clones of Maelstrom slammed their Rasengans into the remains of Orochimaru, creating a crater where the original Maelstrom then landed—leaving Orochimaru as an arm connected to part of a torso and half a face.
"Hey, Jiji, sorry to drop in, but I couldn't help it." Maelstrom smirks at the elderly Hokage, who is confused, sadden, confused, happy, worried, and confused.
"Naruto? Is that you?" Hiruzen asks with so much confusion as the Sound Four, well Three, run away with the Anbu going after them.
"Yes, but not yours. I'm from the future. However, I don't really understand what's happening. I just appeared, and your Naruto did something. Oh, by the way, don't worry about the two old Hokages. Since the caster is dead, they shouldn't come back. Or I think. I hope."
A/N: I am making it so that Orochimaru uses the lesser version of the Impure Recarnation Justu; therefore, if the body or the caster dies, the one brought back to life returns to the Pure World.
"Well. I guess that's one way to do it." Hiruzen looks down into the stadium and sees the battle being waged. "Naruto… yeah, that's weird. We'll talk after we solve this whole situation. Let's go down and end the battle in the stands."
"Of course, Jiji." Maelstrom then creates 100 shadow clones. "Time to end an invasion. Ya know."
Maelstrom then forms a Rasengan in both hands and launches into the stands, with Hiruzen following after giving orders to the Anbu to collect the body of Orochimaru and Kidomaru.
Maelstrom slams the two Rasengans into a group of Sand and Sound Shinibo as Hiruzen creates two mud clones to protect the civilians. A Sand Shinibo is then slammed into the ground by Guy. Kakashi and a few other Konoha Shinobi gather around the Third Hokage.
"Orochimaru was killed, and the person next to me is my personal anbu, named Maelstrom. He is the clone." Hiruzen states to the gathered to Shinobi. Shinobi are not only listening but defending the people.
"It's time to push back against the invaders. Guy and Kakashi head into the village and handle threats. The rest of us will handle threats in the stadium, head to the hospital, and meet with the Jonnin Commander. Leave protecting the Civlinans to the clones." At that, people went off to start the push back against the Sand and the Sound, who were beginning to fall back somewhat.
Maelstrom creates another hundred shadow clones. He pushes through with determination. Letting his clone keep the people still under the Genjutsu safe and slowly moving them to a safer location. Many of the Jonnin and Chunin head into the surrounding areas just as the Konoha force rebound.
X x X
About an hour following the rally by the Leaf, outside the village, Naruto and crew are fighting Garra. Well, Naruto is fighting Garra, while Maelstrom's shadow clone and Shikamaru protect Sakura and Sasuke.
'If it wasn't for that Older Naruto's Shadow Clone, then I might've been in trouble back there, but I was able to plan using to clone to help take down the Sound Ninja before Asuma came and almost destroyed the clone. It took some talking before he let us catch up with the others. Now Sasuke is barely there, Sakura is completely knocked out, and I'm basically out of Chakra. To make it even more troublesome, I have a clone of an older Naruto waiting and protecting us. Not that I object, but …. This is too troublesome.'
Naruto then transforms himself and the toad he properly summoned with the help of the clone into the Kyuubi. Which causes Shikamaru to sigh and wait until the battle was over.
After a few more minutes of struggle, Naruto is able to jump off of Gammubunta's head and head butt Garra hard enough to wake him up. Once awake, the released state of the One Tail returns to sand, and Garra and Naruto fall to the ground. Maelstrom and Shikamaru take the heavily injured forms of Sasuke and Sakura over to Naruto just as he finishes talking to Garra.
The remainer of the sand siblings then land next to Garra. Prepared to fight to protect their younger brother, they ready themselves for a final fight. However, that fight doesn't come when Garra speaks.
"Temari, Kankurō. I'm done. Let's go home."
Temari, shocked speaks up. "Are you sure, Garra?"
Garra nodding his head relaxes the rest of te sand siblings, then quickly they turn and run back to the Sand Village; back home.
"Naruto, Shikamaru, Sakura and Sasuke. I think my job here is done." And just like that the Maelstrom clone puffs and goes away.
"Wait, what!? I got to walk all of them back. If this day couldn't get anymore troublesome." Shikamaru said camly.
"Don't Shikamaru. I can help." As Naruto says that he falls asleep.
Shikamaru just stares at Naruto as he snores. Then looks and the prone form of Sasuke and the form of Sakura he's carrying. All who are completely out. A long deep breath and Shikamaru starts to drag the two male members of team 7 while the female member lays on Shikamaru's neck like a towel.
"The clone that was supposed to help just leaves. The idiot falls asleep. The loud, troublesome girl is completely knocked out. And the Uchiha is in the same state as the idiot. This whole troublesome ordel will be rectified. Someway somehow, I'll get all of you back. Including that damned clone… That's too troublesome."
As that happens, across the village Maelstrom puffs away. Leaving this unversive to suirve with its new changes.
A/N: It's been a awhile since I wrote something. Anyway, this is a one shot. Well, supposed to be, but who knows. Anyway, I hope y'all enjoyed the story.
Love, Peace, and Hairgrease
