Kagura merely growled at the impudent children in front of her. They thought she was evil? That the chakra they were using didn't belong to HER? She glowered ay the thought. And her precious Zetsu was whispering everything she needed to hear. Destroy the opposition. Peace failed in times before. Her chakra is required to be whole again.
Only four Shinobi had resisted the illusion world of Tuski no Me. A pink-haired girl whose only contribution to the fight was her relatively strong ability with healing, a grey-haired man whose eyes reminded her of her son Hagoromo, they were of little consequence. No, it was the other two she was worried about the most.
They were both direct descendants of her Son's sons, or at least that's what she thought. One had the same eye as she had, purple, ringed, and full of power. But it was recently awakened, and he was still grasping at its full potential. The other was a blonde-haired boy, whose life strength was the strongest of any she had felt since her resurrection. His combined life force with some form of connection to the nature around him made him truly dangerous.
But worst of all, they were the one's Hagaoromo had shown the seal jutsu to. The ones who had the best chance of resealing her. Worst still, they seemed confident enough to pull it off. Not even her pulling them to different dimensions was enough to stop them. At one point, she thought she would be victorious when she was able to corner them in the gravity world, but the blasted silver-haired man and his black-haired accomplice had protected the two troublesome ones, at the cost of the black-haired man's life.
That should have stopped them, making them see that it was futile to kill her. Not very useful as it only served to moralize them against her. She was deciding what to do when Zetsu had been captured by the blondes chakra rods. He screamed for her, how dare they hurt her children.
She saw an opening when they thought she was cornered—two at her side and one from the top, no doubt to prevent her from flying up. But flying up was not the only she could do. She calmed her breathing and waited at the very last moment. The grey-haired one had used some kind of full-body armor type jutsu, which exhausted him, so he was down for right now. All she had to was separate the two boys.
Kakashi sighed as he watched his team, incredibly proud of them, even if he felt like he didn't deserve to. Team seven had always been the cursed team. It was doomed from the start. First brought forth by the Nidaime Hokage, Tobirama Senju in the first ninja war, then led by Hinzuren Sarutboi, Sandaime Hokage, in the second, then led by the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaxe, in the third Ninja war. It was now being led by him Kakashi Hatake, not a Hokage, for the Fourth Great Ninja War.
After he retired from being an Anbu, he could never pass a team. As his failure to save his teammate because of his lack of teamwork, any team he would pass would need to show a certain level of cooperation. He failed six teams before this one, ironically the seventh team for Team Seven and the only to pass. And he finally felt proud of them. How he wished he could have fought against the council and their decision to cast Naruto and Sakura to the side, forcing him to train Sasuke Uchiha, he fled the village. Determined to fix his mistake Kakasi sought to teach his other teammates finally. But he was too late, as his other two pupils were learning from the other two Sannin.
It looked like Team Seven was destined for greatness again, but he would not be apart of it. And now they were reunited, as Sasuke found reason enough to help in the war as he declared he would become the Hokage and fix the hatred left by his clan.
He chuckled to himself as he realized the kids he saw four years ago were kids no longer, and he couldn't feel prouder. Soon another voice chuckled with him, and when he looked over, he saw nothing.
'Wait'
Wasn't there supposed to be a black mass attached to the black chakra pole? He frantically looked around the battlefield as he saw his students closing in on Kaguya and saw her smirk. The plan was going well; they couldn't fail now. But fate had other plans.
Suddenly Sakura was tackled, mid-air, rushing towards the ground of whatever dimension they were in. The white Goddess flew up quickly making Naruto and Sasuke dodge around each other and as they started to fall towards the ground, a black portal opened and swallowed each of them.
Kakashi quickly got up and ran to Sakura, Sasuke was the only one who could move through the dimensions right now, as his Double Mangekyo was too weak and needed to save some chakra.
"Sakura! Speak to me" He shouted he watched the pink hair girl batter the black mass away. She seemed to be doing fine at least.
"I'm fine Kakashi-sensei. Where are Sasuke and Naruto?" She asked, healing the small bruise on her arm.
"Portals swallowed them, I think I saw Kayguya hurt Naruto as he went through his but I'm not sure. But get ready, looks like the princess is getting for round three," he said taking a stance.
Sakura nodded as she tightened her gloves. Kaguya smirked again as she flew, faster than Sakura could react. She threw her clawed hand out, ready to rip through the foolish girl and reclaim her chakra. But Kakashi had other plans as he quickly brought Sakura out of the way and swung at her with a lighting covered hand.
But Kaguya grinned, as he unknowingly set himself up. Kakashi cursed as he missed the woman and turned to get a better angle, it was only thanks to his Sharingan that he saw a speeding projectile come his way. Turning, almost too late, he dipped out of the way to prepare his counter-attack when he heard a scream. He realized it his mistake.
Right behind him, he could see Sakura wide-eyed and open-mouthed as the Ash Spike hit her straight in her ribs, not having enough time to orientate herself after Kakashi threw her. She could already feel her body crumbling. "Look...ou" was all she could say as the life left her eyes before it faded away.
Kakashi cursed himself as he looked at Sakura, then ninja 101 seemed to pop into his mind, never turn your back on a willing enemy. He felt something impact his body a white tip poked out of his chest, not even dripping with blood.
"Obito...Rin...I'm sorry.'' he said as his body started to crumble as well.
"Two down mother. The Uchiha first. We need to stop him from finding his blonde friend." Zetsu urged. Kaguya agreed
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sasuke cursed as he was in the lave dimension. He hated taking soldier pills, the side effects very distasteful in his mind. But he had taken one nonetheless. He needed the extra chakra to find Naruto. He could lock on to that idiot no matter where he was.
He had just hoped that Sakura and Kakashi could survive long enough for them to make it back. After straining for a moment he was surprised at how easy was to find a lock on Naruto. But that wasn't the hard part. The hard part would be opening his own portal. Something that would drain his regained chakra but fighting alone right now was not an option.
He started the process when he felt something behind him. He recognized it as the anchor Kaguya was using to shift herself to other dimensions. He tried to speed the process but grimaced when he realized the truth. He was efficient with this to do anything other than try.
At this rate, he knew he didn't stand a chance, but his Pride didn't allow him to run. He simply turned when he felt Kaguya enter. "If I can't kill you then I guess I have to kill you," he said, his Rinne-Sharingan glowing.
"A sheep who aspires to be a wolf. How amusing. If not for the threat you possed I might entertain the idea of letting you try." Kaguya said.
"I am no wolf. I am Uchiha, birds of prey, and the pride of the Shinobi world. Feel the might of the Uchiha clan. Amaterasu: Inferno Control" he said pointing his sword at the woman.
An explosion of black flames streaked towards the woman who scoffed and held up her hand, ready to absorb the flames. Deadly the flames were but they were still made of chakra. In that instant, Sasuke ran forward. His hand glowed in grey lighting ready to pierce the woman.
'Flame or lighting, which one will you let hit you. With that puppet on your other hand you can't be callous about exposing him, or else you risk injury to him' Sasuke thought to himself.
Kaguya though seemed annoyed and helped her other hand up to stop him. Sasuke saw, too late, that Zetsu was not there. The flames died down almost as spontaneously as they had appeared as Sasuke was caught by the stronger woman.
"I finally caught you little one. Join your friends in the other world as you find peace. We are one again."
Sasuke gritted his teeth already moving for his counterattack. Until he realized he couldn't his body was totally unmoving. A black face appeared on his shoulder with a wide grin.
"One more mother."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto grunted in pain as he landed in a frozen world. Right before being pushed into a portal Kaguya had managed to hit him with something. His stomach was bleeding and it wasn't healing.
"Kurama, what the hell is going on?'
"I don't know. Whatever she hit you with is coated in a large amount of chakra. Very potent chakra. It's acting as a type of poison." the fox growled back
"Hurry, Sasuke is going to find us soon and we need to be ready," Naruto said looking around. They hadn't spent much time here when he was here last, so he was finally getting a good look at the place.
It was literally just frozen wasteland. Harsh winds and ice. He grinned when sensed the familiar feeling of Sasukes Rinne-Sharingan. Said grin turned into horror when he appeared.
Sasuke was in Kaguya's hands, being held in place by Zetsu. Worst still was Naruto could feel the life being drained out of his friend. Despite the pain, he jumped and rushed towards the madwoman, Rasengan in hand.
But the pain in his stomach caused him to falter. Two steps off the ground and he fell. The wound in his stomach was still ever-present. "Kurama?!"
"That's weird. And not supposed to be here"
'Kurama, what are you talking about?" Naruto shouted, trying to sit up.
Kaguya schooled her face as she approached slowly. "Now with you out of the way, I can finally save the world."
"From what? You're the biggest threat. Why would you need to save it?" Naruto asked trying to buy time.
"From Otsutsuki Clan. Anywho know the old text think Hagoromo sealed me and made the moon. But that isn't true. The moon has always existed. When Hagoromo sealed me he made me into a meteor and I constantly orbited the moon. But my clan lives there, trapped." She said looking up in the sky thinking.
"I trapped them there when I came to earth. They are bloodthirsty animals who seek to destroy everything. I came to earth in hopes of building an army to stop them. When I ate the sacred fruit I finally had power but it wasn't enough. So I let myself become pregnant with two sons. They inherited my powers. But that's enough talk"
'Kurama Kinda need your help here!' the blond inwardly shouted.
The Kyuubi didn't answer. Naruto grimaced as Kaguya pick Naruto and swiftly threw her hand through his body. A feeling of victory washed over her before something strange happened. A seal on the top of Naruto's head started to shine.
"I can't stop it! Naruto!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The man sighed for as strong as this illusion was, who knew it was just that. But he couldn't leave. This was everything he wanted. His friends and family that were killed by the Kyuubi were alive, the Yondaime was never killed, and he was captain of his Anbu Guard.
He sighed heavily as he sat in a house that wasn't supposed to exist. That's when a woman with purple hair and brown eyes came into the room. The love of his life, who was killed on a mission gone wrong. "Is everything alright?"
Suddenly a seal lit upon his palm. "So the Mō jikanganai Fuin (Seal of a Time No Longer) was activated. Dammit"
"What's that? The woman asked in curiosity
"It's nothing you need to worry about. But this is where we part ways. I have to follow Naruto back"
The woman just quirked an eyebrow. "If you go you may never see me again."
"Then I guess I just need to make sure you don't get killed again then, don't I? A shinobi's work is never over after all." the man said as the seal started to glow brighter and his body started to disappear.
"You know, if there really is a higher deity I don't think they would appreciate Time being messed with like this," she said a little bit of sadness in her voice.
"Probably, but I can't stop it now. Besides, I don't even know if my seal will work. I'm not exactly a master at it."
Shin no Kami, or better know as the Shinigami, groaned in his office. Sorting the dead was tiresome work for all eternity. But the worst part was the boredom. He just wished something would happen.
As if Kami herself was listening, the outside world around him started to flash and shake. The sky above him cracked and shattered before fixing itself. The souls moved on as if nothing strange was happening. But the demons around Maki were wide-eyed and frozen in fear.
Shin growled as he teleported into another room. It was pearly white and full of plant life and animals. In the center of the room, a woman in a white gown was looking into a golden orb. And just as suddenly as it started it stopped.
"What in the name of the Elder Eight is going on here?" The man asked, a scythe in hand.
"I do not know. The Time Barrier was shattered. Someone is moving through time. Until the Slipstream fixes itself. I can't do anything without risking the entire Stream." the woman said, a small hint of worry in her voice.
"I thought Humans couldn't break it. Not even those Damn Otsutsuki could break it." Shin said in wonder. Hd had not been apart of the creation of humans, but he knew enough. Enough to know that this should have been impossible.
"It shouldn't be, it was meant to make sure all life evolved forward, but I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about how far they are going back and the stress this will cause for the Gate."
"The Gate won't be a problem, not as long as I can scare away the souls. But who could have done this?"
"I think I can tell you, Shin-sama, Kami-sama," A voice said behind them.
Turning around they saw a 9 tailed Fox with a human torso stood behind them. He did not look happy and neither did the older man that stood with him. Wearing white robes with small horns on his head, his rippled colored eyes glowed with anger and curiosity.. "Hagoromo? Kurama no Kitsune, What are you doing here?!"
The fact Kami was surprised threw Kurama for a loop., "This isn't apart of your plan M'lady?"
"No, no it is not Kurama, why are you here? And if you are here Where is Naruto?" Kami.
"Don't tell me. That boy is the cause of this?!" Shin said.
"Not the boy I suspect," Hagoromo said. "A third party I believe."
"Kurama, explain what's happening," Kami said.
"We were fighting Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Old Man's mother. Things were going well. But in one swift moment, the tides turned against us. I have no idea what happened to the rest, but when Kaguya came after Naruto I noticed something in the seal."
"Wait, your seal? Someone added something to that accursed Uzumaki creation?" Shin snapped.
"I guess. When Kaguya actually injured Naruto, fatally this addition started to glow and activate. It glowed so brightly I couldn't see anything. When the glow died down I was here." Kurama said.
The two deities cursed. Unlike Mortal inclination, the two were not Omnipresent or all-knowing. "So, someone sent Naruto Uzumaki in the past. Probably by undoing the seal and using your chakra as a springboard to tear the Time Barrier and sent Naruto through it." Kami muttered. "They don't even know the damage they caused."
"M'lady?"
"The Time Barrier was never meant to be broken. I highly doubt the future that you are from is in one piece."
"So I can't go back.?" Kurama asked.
Shin shook his head. "No, in essence, you died. Technically anyway, and because of that, I can't let you go back. Not now."
"So how far did Naruto actually go?" Hagoromo inclined.
Kami went back to her golden orb and was silent for several moments. "9 years. He's an eight-year-old again. Shin go grab one of your spies. We cannot intervene by the Eldean Decree but we can stop this from happening again. I need to damage control with the other Universe, no doubt they felt that disturbance. Hagoromo please stand by, I might need an extra hand."
"What about me?" the fox asked in a small voice.
"I do not know yet. But I have an idea. I will get back to you shortly."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Shin nodded his head as he disappeared. Kami sighed. Why did her brother ask for entertainment? It never ended well.
Naruto groaned as he opened his eyes. 'Dammit, what happened. Kurama?' he waited for several seconds but the Bijuu didn't answer him. He furrowed his eyebrows before he decided to look around him. 'I haven't been in this room for years'
He jumped out of bed and laned on the floor, noting that he was smaller than what he thought he was supposed to be. He ignored it for now heading to the bathroom. This needed to be investigated but nature's call came first.
He sighed as he did business, mind running thirty miles a minute. 'What happened to Kaguya? Is this an illusion? Kurama where are you? What happened to dad? Kurama!'
He growled at being ignored but then finally caught a glimpse in his mirror. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
'Calm down Naruo, there's a perfectly good reason you're in your eight-year-old body. Maybe Kaguya sent you back in time.' Naruto snickered at his joke, but then a small part of his mind talked back, 'But what if she did.'
Naruto jerked at that. Outside of a genjutsu, he couldn't think of a reason for why he was eight again. He decided he needed to talk to Kurama. If he wouldn't talk to Naruto, then Naruto would force his way inside the seal. Nodding to himself he decided he was going to meditate before he heard a knock on his door.
Grumbling to himself he approached the door, on instinct try to sense who was on the door before realizing he couldn't. 'Got to work on that'
He froze when the door opened, tears threatening to spill out of his eyes. On the other side was Hinzuren Sarutobi, Sandaime Hokage, who should be dead. "Are you okay Naruto-Kun? I heard you scream." the old man said, worry evident in his voice. "Worried about the genin exam? I know you're a bit younger than the rest of your class, but I'm sure you can do it"
Naruto's face evened as he controlled his emotions. If he was in the past then he needed to get his head straight before he started to tell other people. 'So this is the first time I'm taking the genin exam.'
"I'm fine Jiji, just a bad dream." He said opening the door to let the older man in.
"Care to share? Or is it embarrassing?" Hinzuren asked
"I was in a war," Naruto said, surprising the Sandaime. "I was older, with friends I didn't recognize. Fighting against someone. But it was weird, it was like all five of the great nations were working together to beat this person and an army of things"
"Well, when people are sufficiently threatened you would be surprised at the lengths they would go to survive. But that is surprising, all five nations working together. Such a thing hasn't happened since the birth of the five nations. Moving on, ready for the exams?"
Naruto was about to respond when he paused to think. He had just turned nine, making him three years younger than the graduating class. It meant he was two years ahead of team 10. Three years ahead of the class he was supposed to graduate with. "I am a bit young, aren't I? My class is exactly happy that someone three years their age is graduating with them"
"Well if you must know Naruto-kun, graduating early isn't uncommon. There was an Anbu who made chunnin at chunnin at age eight and jonin at age nine, at age twelve he joined the Anbu. You just have to prove yourself." Naruto furrowed his eyebrow.
If he remembered right, Kakashi would have been let go from his Anbu post two years ago, this year was the third or fourth team he would take on. "Of course. I'm just worried about one of the jutsu we have to perform."
Sarutobi chuckled as he took out his pipe. "Well it's not good for the Hokage to show favoritism Naruto-Kun, but maybe I can help you, just this once. What seems to be the problem."
"It's the Bunshin jutsu, it seems no matter how controlled I mold my chakra I just can't seem to do it right. Though, I think I have a solution. I just don't know if it will be allowed." Naruto said, his inner prankster working as he thought of a good prank.
"Oh, and what Solution is that?" Sarutobi asked. Naruto put a show of concentration on his face as he crossed his fingers. Five clones puffed into existence. The 3rd Hokage jumped to his feet in shock. 'Silently executed, and there are five of them?! How does he know that kinjutsu?'
"I know they aren't illusions and I don't know what the name of the jutsu is but it makes solid copies of me," Naruto said proudly.
"You don't know the name?" the older man asked looking around the clones, surprised to see that if he didn't already know, he wouldn't know which one would be the real one. "For reference, this is called Kage Bunshin, a B rank Kinjutsu. Most people can't use this jutsu because of the insane chakra cost. How did you learn this?"
Inside his mind, Naruto smirked, on the outside, he put on his innocent face. "I saw a silver-haired ninja using this jutsu to spar with himself. But I didn't hear the name. I just saw him use the hand sign.
'Dammit, Kakashi. But this is a surprise. There's no telling how long Naruto trained to use the Kage Bunshin. And to only know the one hand sign? He's a genius.' he cleared his throat, "Naruto I see no reason why you can't use this. I will talk to Iruka later to inform him. Good luck tomorrow Naruto. I have to go back to work now. I believe in you" He said as he got up to leave, his head full of thoughts.
"Hey, Jiji? When I graduate can you tell me about my parents?" Naruto asked causing Sarutbo to freeze. The old man smiled as he placed his hat back on his head.
"If you graduate Naruto, I will tell you what I can," He said, closing the door behind him.
Naruto sighed, 'Is this a genjutsu? The same one Obito and Madara wanted to cast? I thought Sasuke's Susann'o protected us? Kurama? Oh right not talking to me' Naruto dropped on his bed, reaching inside the Shiki Fuin
Opening his eyes he nodded as he saw the familiar sewers but frowned when he didn't appear in front of the seal. A thought crossed Naruto's mind but he threw it aside for now. He felt the Killing Intent in the air and followed it.
It didn't take long, he saw the seal and the golden gate, as strong as ever. He tried to peer behind the bars but only saw blackness. That was until red-eyes and a mouth full of teeth appeared in the darkness.
"So my jailor finally deems fit to see me, after six years of silence. To what do I owe the honor of this visit?" the fox growled blasting his KI at Naruto. Naruto ignored it, his battle-hardened mind not fazed.
He frowned as his body slightly quivered at it. He really needed to start training. The previous thought entered his mind as he thought of something, a sure-fire way to determine if he was in the Tsuki no Mei genjutsu. If this was his dream world then he would want his partner here. "Kurama"
In an instant, the fox howled in anger, the seal flashing to life as it contained the rage of the Kyuubi. "How do you know that name! WORM! HOW DO YOU KNOW?!"
Naruto nodded his head as he quickly decided to leave, his purpose done. In the real world, he blinked and sighed again, throwing himself down on his bed. "So I really am in the past. Or Kaguya has a twisted sense for genjutsu. But how did I get here? Ugh, I need ramen."
He jumped again and got dressed. Ichiraku sounded good right about now, especially since he needed to clear his head. 'Or better to say I need to organize it.'He got his jumpsuit on, and with a quick hurry made his way down the street. He grimaced as he caught sight of the hate-filled glares. He forgot about this. He was a hero after Pain's attack. He shook his head, determined to not let it bother him.
He was surprised when he was left unbothered, the people deciding to only glare at him instead of doing anything. He smiled when he came up
to the small restaurant. "Ah, my favorite customer. Go ahead and take a seat, first three are on the house." the old man said
Ayame smiled as Naruto entered. "One miso and two pork, right Naruto-Kun?" She asked. Naruto nodded as he sat down.
"Make that two Miso please," A voice said, sitting beside Naruto. The blonde blinked as Iruka sat next to him.
"Iruka-sensei?" He asked
The chunnin blinked as he saw who he was sitting beside. "Naruto? I didn't realize you ate here''
Naruto went to respond when memories suddenly hit, memories of Iruka giving Naruto a lecture, giving Naruto tips in his training, and other helpful things. Stuff that Didn't happen the first time around. "Of course, old man Ichiraku is the best place to eat," Naruto said with a smile, inwardly confused at what had just happened.
"Well, are you prepared for the test tomorrow? Being younger than the rest of your class must be daunting." Iruka asked
"Well, it certainly is challenging. I mean, the academy hasn't had an early graduate in what? 10? 11 years? Since the end of the last war for
certain." Naruto said as a bowl was placed in front of him.
Iruka blinked. "Good memory Naruto, the last early graduate we had was Itachi Uchiha. Boy was a genius."
Naruto once again furrowed his brow, trying to think about the massacre. 'No, it hasn't happened yet. Sasuke just entered the academy. It was near the end of the first year that Itachi went rouge.'
"Naruto are you listening?" Iruka said snapping his fingers. Naruto blinked before grinning sheepishly.
"Sorry Iruka-sensei got caught up thinking about the exam tomorrow." The blonde apologized as he quickly wolfed down his bowls. "If you'll excuse me, I need to go train. Need to squeeze it in before I get assigned a team."
Iruka smiled and waved. Then froze as two thoughts crossed his mind.
'Since when is Naruto polite.'
'That bastard left me with his bill'
"NARUTOOOOO"
Naruto snickered as he ran to a training field, hearing the shout in the distance. pulling into the field he looked around before making close to 100 hundred clones. "Okay, 50 of you get to work on chakra control. I want my secret weapon soon. The rest of you get to work on the taijutsu we've been working on." Naruto ordered as he sat against a tree meditating.
Once again in his mindscape, he quickly made his way to the Kyuubi, he glared upon sight of him. "Look I know your pissed, shut the hell up and I might answer some questions."
Out of everything Naruto was expecting, it was not for the Kyuubi to start laughing. "Oh, that's precious. He thinks he can order me
around. If not for this blasted seal I would have torn you to shreds you brat."
"Good, you stopped shouting that's a start," Naruto said sitting right in front of the gate. To Kurama's surprise, and begrudging respect, the blonde boy didn't even flinch when he slammed a clawed hand in front of him, mere centimeters away from his face.
"Let's start with how you know my name first."
"I don't know, you might not believe me." Naruto said.
"Please, I have been alive longer than the forest around you boy. Go ahead, try me" Kurama challenged.
"Oh it's simple, I'm from the future"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Anko Mitarashi was bored. There was no other way to put it. The third Hokage had forced her to take a mandatory leave from her duties for a while after her last S ranked mission. It didn't go bad, better than expected really, but the old man was worried because she had been doing missions for the past year, back to back without a break.
She shook her head as she walked along the forest of death. She could torture whoever was using the entrance. But that didn't seem. Oh, wait yes it did. She whistled and pulled out a kunai flipping it.
She stopped when she saw orange and quickly hid herself to take stock of the situation. She saw a wave of orange, half of them were fighting each other and the rest were trying to climb a tree. Then there was a single one meditating against the tree. Oh yeah, he was also about eight or nine if she had to guess.
She made herself comfy as she decided to watch and see how this would play out. She still needed to torture the brat for playing in her sandbox after all.
Unknown to her a figure stood in the distance watching her and Naruto both. 'It seems my seal worked. He definitely was not doing this until he graduated and it seems my prodding of Iruka is boring fruit, they are friends again, and earlies this time.' the figure said. 'This time it will be different' I swear it.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
And that's a wrap. I hope ye enjoyed this rewrite.
And for those who actually know, the ages are a bit different but I am trying to keep to the same timeline as I can. Naruto failed the exam twice before he passed it at the age of 11 or 12 right? Well anyway, that's how I'm gonna play it for now.
Who is this strange man? Will Naruto survive the torture from Anko? Will I finally be able to get a decent amount of sleep?
Probably not because I am a full-time College and full-time worker, so sleep is hard
Ja ne
Ploytoid out
