"I can't believe it's finally over..." On top of the Hokage monument stood an aged blonde whiskered man looking over a vast metropolitan city.

"Me too kit... I'll be honest. I'm going to be sad over your passing but... I'm glad you finally got your chance at rest." A second voice speaks from a place where no other but the blonde can hear.

"Jesus. How long has it been?" Still gazing the city below, the man gently sits down and let his feet dangle off the ledge of the cliff.

"By your calculations? Millenia at the very least." The hidden voice speaks.

"Damn. I'm old enough to be everyone's ancestor." The man chuckles.

Silently, the two entities take their time in admiring the last sunset they'll see... together.

A few minutes pass before the sounds of shuffling break the silence in the area.

The blonde doesn't look behind him to see who was approaching him. Centuries of honing his sensory abilities allowed him to accurately determine the identity of the group of kids that finally had the courage to come to his proximity.

He waits patiently for the group of kids behind to speak. The one in front does.

"U-um. Lo-Lord Seventh? Could we... Can we take a picture with you!" The kid shouted excitedly after finding his determination.

The old aged Naruto turns around and smiles at the children who were all looking back at him in awe of his presence.

"Of course you can." With Naruto's confirmation all of them break out in cheers and quickly get into position while one of the older kids sets a camera in a stand to take a picture in 10 seconds.

"Any requests?" Naruto asks.

The kids look at each other, conversing silently before the one who spoke out loud earlier replies.

"Umm. Could we also have Lord Kurama in the picture?" The child asks hopefully.

Naruto, and Kurama, chuckle at the child's request. The blonde closes his eyes and summons the Mythical Chakra Cloak of his long time partner. A golden glow permeates from his skin while his whiskers turn into 3 solid blocks of black. Fluidly, he constructs several Tail constructs and with practiced ease, shapes them into arms.

Naruto extends these Tail Arms and let them touch the floor. Palms stretched upwards, gesturing the kids to hop on. They all cheer happily and clamor on into the hands.

"Konoha on 3~!" Naruto cheers out loud then begins to count down.

"Konoha!" Everyone says.

A flash from the camera and now the kids have a treasured heirloom to show off to other people.

After exchanging pleasantries, the children all depart to their homes. However, before they left his line of sight, the child from before turns around.

"Thank you for everything, Lord Naruto!" The kid shouts and waves.

Naruto smiles and waves back.

"Kit..." Kurama gently whispers, his once mighty and proud voice now cracking. "It's almost time."

"Yeah, Kurama. Let's go make our rounds."

In a mesmerizing flash, the retired 7th Hokage disappears.


Boruto was tired. After taking care of his 9 year old god-child for an entire day, he was completely spent mentally.

"By the sage, was I that tiring at his age?" He asks his partner.

A raven haired woman snickers before pushing up her glasses.

"You were so much worse, Boruto." Sarada replied.

The son of the Seventh sighs exasperatedly.

"I now know why you and Kawaki were so infuriated by me. I beg of you, forgive me Lord Hokage." In a dramatic twirl, he turns around and bows.

The Eighth Hokage snorts. "Unaccepted. D-Ranks for 1 year, Jounin."

Boruto grasps his heart and fell to the floor as if struck. "P-Please Lord Eighth! What can I do?" He gets up and walks behind his wife and starts massaging her shoulders. He leans in and uses his "bedroom" voice.

"How about an entire night of Shadow Clone pampering?" He starts kneading the knots on his wife's shoulders. "We still have that Cloud saké we haven't opened. You can sit back and relax while I spoil you rotten~"

Sarada, whose eyes were now closed, leans back and let's out a satisfied moan. "Hmm~ C-Ranks."

Boruto starts ramping up his negotiation. "How about I take over your paper work for a day? You can sit back and relax with Himawari and gossip about that new movie from Spring~?"

"Hmm~ B-Ranks~" Sarada barters back, clearly not satisfied with the arrangement.

Boruto goes for the finishing blow. "I'll get Shikadai to look over the kids~?"

Sarada finally relents. "You're incorrigible." She turns her head and kisses her husband.

Boruro who was such in a good mood, suddenly became annoyed when he heard the doorbell ring.

"Oh come on!" He screams out.

Sarada laughs before standing up. "Go see who's outside and be quick..." Sarada walks up to the stairs... disrobing one article of clothing at a time. She looks at her husband with a look that got him shivering. "I want to feel you inside me tonight~"

"YES MA'AM!" A fire lit under his ass, Boruto rushes to the door as he hears his wife's melodic laugh coming from the top of the stairs.

"You better be either dying or having an emergency..." Boruto grumbles before stopping at the door to compose himself.

"What is it? Couldn't it wait tomorrow?" Boruto opens the door.

"Hey there, kiddo." A familiar voice addresses Boruto that made him freeze.

"Dad? Oh. Hey! What's up? I was just getting Sarada in the mood. Couldn't it wait till tomorrow?" Boruto whines.

His dad smiles back at him sheepishly as he scratches the back of his head.

"Not really. I wanted to see you tonight. It's been a while since I last saw your face."

"Dad, I saw you yesterday." Boruto deadpans.

"Hey!" Naruto complains. "That's a long time for me!"

Boruto rolls his eyes before smiling at his dad. "You wanna come in? I think Sarada will understand." Boruto was just about to turn around before he spotted a micro expression on his dad's face that sent the alarm bells ringing in his head.

Boruto made a worried face. "Dad? Is something wrong?"

The two stood silently as they gazed into each other's face before Naruto refutes him.

"No... Nothing is wrong. Just wanted to see my son's face tonight." That line alone made Boruto scared.

"Dad? Seriously, what's wrong?" Boruto couldn't help but ask.

Naruto suddenly grasped his son's body in an embrace that Boruto hadn't experienced in a long time.

"D-Dad?" Boruto activated his fabled Jōgan and scanned his father's body, he was left confused when he spotted no anomalies. Just what was going on?

"How's Haruto?" His dad suddenly asked.

"Haruto? He's with Inochi's place, for a sleepover. You know this. You brought him there this afternoon." Boruto was starting to really worry about his dad's behavior.

"Oh right, my bad. My memory has been getting worse these days." His dad replies.

"What?" Alarmed, Boruto replied back in shock. "Go visit Aunt Sakura then! She'll sort that out!"

"Yeah. I was planning on going there next." Naruto says.

Boruto was confused. Before he could ask again if his dad was really alright, he was cut off.

"Boruto, I'm so proud of the man you are today."

Boruto's cheeks redden in embarrassment. "D-dad."

"I'll leave you to your wife, let her know I'm proud of her too!"

"Dad!" Boruto screams back, feeling completely awkward over the situation.

"I love you, son!" Naruto says before jumping to the roofs to go God knows where.

Boruto was about to shut the door before an overwhelming feeling of something stops him. Something in him instinctually told him that if he didn't say something, he was going to regret it. He screams out loud so his father could hear him. Just this once, Boruto privately thought.

"Love you too, dad!"

The door closes.


Deep inside the main Hospital of Inner Konoha sat an elderly woman in her 70's.

Sakura was going over the monthly reports when she heard someone knocking on her office door.

"Come in." Sakura announced.

The door opens revealing Sakura's latest apprentice, Sumire Shigaraki.

"Lady Sakura? Lord Seventh is here to see you. He doesn't have an appointment though." The purple haired kunoichi informed.

"Naruto? Huh, send him in, Sumire. You can take the night off, you earned it." Sakura said kindly.

"Thank you, my Lady." Sumire bows before clocking out.

Sakura tidies up her notes and set them aside, just in time to see her old teammate walk in with the same smile he always wore.

"Hey Sakura!" Naruto warmly greets her.

"Hey yourself, what brings you here? Your check up isn't till next week." Sakura smiles as she brings Naruto to the side, where a table and a few sofas where located. She prepared a couple of cups of the still warm tea she brewed earlier.

"I know but I wanted to check up on you! It's been a while since we last just had a talk." Naruto sits as he nods in thanks to Sakura for the tea she was preparing.

"Ugh. That's because I'm swamped with work at the hospital. Unlike you, we're not all retired." Sakura chides playfully.

"Haha! And I'm glad I'm did! I have so much time just to kick back and relax!" Naruto says.

Sakura gives him an unimpressed looked that unhelpfully gets him laughing at her predicament. She joins in after a few seconds.

"So? How've you been? Enjoying the retired life, old man?

"Hey! We're the same age! If I'm old then you're-" Naruto freezes once he senses Sakura's growing ire.

"Naruto..." Sakura growls.

"I mean... you're beautiful as ever Sakura-chan!"

Sakura stills as she heard Naruto call her that. It has been ages since he last called her "Sakura-chan". A time where all 3 of then were together... A nostalgic memory plays in her mind, like a movie. Of days long since passed. When team 7 was still at full capacity. She could feel her lips involuntarily lift at the sides as she remembers her golden years.

Sasuke, her only love, sadly passed away a few years ago. Not too anything that killed him, thankfully, but to simple age and health. He contracted the same illness his brother possessed. The signs started showing up in barely noticeable patterns around 20 or so years ago and by the time she had spotted it, it progressed to a stage too late where she could have cured it.

Sasuke, her loveable moron, didn't tell her. Stating: "I've lived a full life. While everything was not ideal... I can die with a smile with how I lived."

There were arguments between him and her that night. It lasted for months. Sakura feeling betrayed over Sasuke's decision to keep her in the dark once again. Sasuke, losing his temper when Sakura kept trying to change his mind.

Like always, it was Naruto who came to the rescue and got them on speaking terms with each other. Where the both of them begrudgingly accepted other's decision.

It was painful at first but they decided to spend what time they had left. He even left her a few "gifts" to remember him by. Said gifts being babies. They were at Ino's place at the moment. Enjoying a sleepover.

Her precious little brats.

She was jolted out of her thoughts when she felt Naruto's hand caress her face, wiping off the tears she didn't know where falling from her eyes.

"Thinking about him? Yeah, I miss the bugger too." Naruto gently says.

She thanked him when he went to grab a box of tissue for her. Naruto sat back down, waiting for Sakura to speak.

Speaking of which.

"What does that mean anyway? "Bugger"? I've never ever heard of that word till I met you." There were a few words Naruto had said over the years that got her confused.

Bollocks.

Himbo.

Twat.

She remembered the time Ino and her scoured the library to find out what those words meant but till this day, they couldn't find it. It sounded like another language. To borrow Shikamaru's catchphrase, it was troublesome.

Naruto raises an eyebrow. "You're seriously asking that now? After all these years?"

She was glad Naruto didn't bring up her non-subtle deflection.

Sakura, however, could feel her cheeks getting hot. "Buh- We never could get an answer out of you! And! Every time you said it when we were under attack or in an emergency! What? You wanted me to ask while we were on the middle of fighting the Ten-Tails?"

Naruto just laughs. "Maybe you should have! Madara might have gotten confused and we could have an opening!"

Sakura just rolls her eyes.

They continue talking about their shared passed before Naruto left for another appointment. It was admittedly great to talk about the good old days now that they could catch up.

Though she had an eerie feeling when it was getting to the time for Naruto to leave.

It was until the next day, did Sakura realize the reason, and that feeling, why Naruto visited her out of the blue.

It was on that same day did she say.

"Naruto... You stupid idiot." Tears unashamedly falling from her cheeks as she stood in front of the Hokage Monument that bore eight different faces.

Her daughter and sons surrounding her as the funeral procession of one Naruto Uzumaki was taking place.

His son, in front, giving a loving eulogy of his father in front of the thousands that turned up.

From villages such as Suna, to even the port of Wave, many turned up to the passing of this world's greatest Shinobi.

Many cried on that day.

Team 7 now only had 1 surviving member.


Naruto had just one last person to speak to before he could depart. He already said his "goodbyes" to the still living members of the so called "Konoha 12". He even got to meet with his other friends he made that lived outside outside village.

Just before coming here, he spent an hour or so with his daughters, Himawari and Hinami. Naruto regaled many embarrassing stories of their childhood to their families. That got his daughters hitting him playfully in revenge.

But now. His rounds were nearly at an end.

He just needed to visit one last person.

Naruto proceeded into the Hyuuga Estate where many bowed in respect as he passed the hallways.

He reached a room where one Uzumaki nee Hyuuga Hinata lived.

As he opened the doors, he was greeted greeted a sight that pained his heart. Hinata staring blankly out the window.

"Hey Hinata-chan." Naruto whispers.

The woman in question turns around in surprise as she stutters out loud. "N-Naruto-kun!" Her fore fingers pressing on each other as a noticeable flush dons her beautiful face.

"Hey Hinata. How have you been?" Naruto braced for what was to come next.

"N-Naruto-kun! Wh-what are you doing here? Fa-father d-does not ap-approve of you co-coming h-here." Hinata says demurely.

"Hinata... Hiashi, he's... he's not here." Indeed, old age took him to the afterlife 12 years ago.

"O-oh? Oh! Si-silly me. Fa-father must b-be me-meeting with the Cl-cloud d-delegate that c-came t-today."

Naruto sadly smiled at his wife.

"Silly goose, Hiashi is with Hizashi right now. They're talking about removing the family Curse Seal for all its members…" Naruto lies. All to give her some fleeting comfort.

"O-oh. That's ri-right. Silly m-me. Ho-how was the miss-mission to Suna? I heard Gaa-Gaara-kun was i-in trouble." Naruto goes by her bedside.

"Oh that? Turns out it was a misunderstanding. A silly prank by his father." Naruto holds his wife.

"Oh? Oh. I'm such a mess. It's a wedding day and I'm not even prepared." Hinata says, now, in a non stuttering voice, dejectedly.

"I would marry you even if the God's decree it no, Hinata-chan." Naruto says as he rubs Hinata's back.

"Hmm? Naruto-kun? You look so old? What happened? Was it another of Haruto's pranks? I swear that boy is you incarnate." Hinata laughs airily.

"Yup, he thought he could prank the King of Pranks so he did this. He's got his grandfather's talent alright." Naruto dismisses the tears he was now shedding.

"Na-Naruto-kun! When did you get here? Fa-father will get angry." Hinata says in a scared voice.

Naruto let's out a soft tune he remembers, from a time he no longer remembers, to lul his panicking wife to sleep. He sings in a language not native to this world.

"Why do birds, suddenly appear?

Every time, you are near?

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you~"

Hinata softly closes her eyes and relaxes his Naruto's embrace.

"Why do stars, fall down from the sky?

Every time, you walk by?

Just like me, they long to be,

Close to you~"

Hinata yawns. "Thomas-kun? Where is Naruto-kun? Are you leaving?"

Naruto lays Hinata down on her bed. Before Hinata could fall into a sleep where she wouldn't walk up again, she asks one last question that breaks "Naruto's" heart.

"Will I see you again?"

Naruto goes in for a kiss. Laying one on her lips and then one on her head.

"You will, my little dove."

"Hmm~ Okay. I love you, Thomas-kun." Naruto stays at her side long until the evening, until he no longer hears Hinata's heart beating. Her passing was peaceful. She passed away at the age of 76, with a graceful smile on her face.

He stays there until someone knocks on the door.

"Lord Seventh? It's time for Lady Hinata's dinner. Will you be staying with us?" Hinata's attendant, Hyuuga Neira, walks in ready to perform her duty in caring for the dementia riddled Elder of the Hyuuga Clan.

"Neira. Please inform the family... My wife has passed away." Naruto chocked on his sobs as Neira quickly rushes to the deceased Hinata's side.

A static noise is all Naruto could perceive as a dozen Hyuuga members suddenly rush into the room. Knowing his wife was in good hands, Naruto leaves.


Naruto made his way to a clearing in a forest. Where his story usually began. The night where in canon, Naruto would realize why everyone hated his existence and that there were people who loved him despite of it.

He sits down, in a lotus position and begins to meditate while waiting for...

"It's here..." Kurama, fearfully declares.

Naruto opens his eyes to a sight that would have made mortals weep in fear and despair.

A ghostly figure, garbed in white, with a face so terrifying, even he after millennia still finds he can't help but shake in fear. The Ten-Tails, with all its awesome power paled in comparison to the figure in front of him.

Not even Isshiki, whose otherworldly abilities, that made him sweat when they fought, could be compared to the power he could feel ooze out of...

...Out of the figure known only as the Shinigami.


"THOMAS ANDERSON. YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR DUE DILLEGENCE. THE TIME FOR YOUR JUDGEMENT HAS COME."


Naruto nods.

"Kurama. Thank you for everything."

"Kit... Thomas. You were the best partner I could ever have asked for."

"Kurama. When you reform, could yo-" Thomas was interrupted.

"No need. It'll be done. I'll keep an eye over your home."

A silent conversation between the Biju and the Foreigner. A promise made by two friends. Nothing needed to be said as they shared one last hug.

The soul of Thomas Anderson, disappears from the body of Uzumaki Naruto alongside the Reaper.

A mournful howl echoes in the still mind of the 7th Hokage of Konoha.


After being whisked away from the Mortal Plane, I now find myself in the void between life and the afterlife.

I would like to say there was no one to greet me but there was. I wish there wasn't though.

Stood in front of me were 3 massive figures sitting on marble thrones. I could try and describe them but it would have been futile. Because there was no way I could. How could you, when the beings in front of you were the perfect definition of Eldritch Beings. If it weren't for the fact I was dead and had no mind, I would have gone insane just from simply standing near them.

STEP FORTH.

The one on the left ordered whose voice sounded male in concept.

With extreme difficulty, I materialize myself in front of them, prostrating.

Thomas Anderson. For your crimes committed in your first run, you were sentenced to Two Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety Three lifetimes to fix the damage you have caused. Is this true? The Right One asks. It's voice female.

Rhetorical but I still answer.

"It is."

Do you understand the reason for this sentence? The Middle One asks, again, in rhetoric manner. This One had the voice of them both.

"Yes, I do."

Explain. They all ordered in unison.

Tthe sheer power emanating from their voice makes me bleed from every orifice. The blood disappears.

"I... In my first run, through my actions, destroyed a large section in the Multiverse. The Multiverse where people who were given a chance, could either be reincarnated or Summoned to live out their fantasies."

Hearing no reply, I continue on.

"For the entertainment of higher beings, selected individuals were allowed to... I believe the term is, Isekai, to another world, a fictional setting of their choosing that they were intimate with or not, and to let them roam free. Thereby, providing entertainment to such beings such as your esteemed selves and others."

This is true. We allow a few lucky mortals upon their death to experience what people in your original world called, The Isekai Treatment. And yet, do you know why, given that there are number of Transimmigrants who perform more heinous deeds than you...

Fear grips my soul as the tension suddenly skyrockets.

THAT WHAT YOU DID CAUSE THE MOST DAMAGE?!

I silently stay where I was, begging hopelessly that my comparatively smaller stature would escape their notice. It was in vain.

I was suddenly hoisted up in the void and was now staring point blank at their faces. Faces so large I was like a tick to them. If I had a bladder, it would have come loose at this moment.

YOU, SINGLEHANDEDLY, HAVE DESTROYED A LARGE PART OF THE KISHIMOTO MULTIVERSE, AND TO SUCH AN EXTENT IT AFFECTED DIFFERENT SYSTEMS THAT WERE NOWHERE NEAR ITS LOCATION!

Several screens form in front of me.

On one screen, I saw images of a mechanical warrior, fighting off monoeye'd machines. Inside the machine was a middle aged Asian man wearing navy green military garbs. He was speaking to a younger man who had vibrant purple eyes that wore a blue and white space suit.

The second screen showed two white haired twins, one in blood red coat, the other in blue, fighting alongside each other. Against a horde of green skinned monsters that bared the red OMEGA symbol.

In another, a raven haired male with one glowing red eye was talking to a green haired lady who was staring back at the male in shock.

The one following that, had an image of a brown haired teenager in burgundy trimmed white uniform, running for his life from a demonic hermaphrodite chasing after him.

The fourth screen showed an armored beetle-like warrior standing in front of a group of kids, tanking blow after blow from a muscular black humanoid whose brain was exposed.

The next was of a red haired adult Naruto teaching Team 7, where there was another younger Naruto among them, with Kakashi by his side. This image felt familiar.

The next one was of another brown haired teenager, his left arm clad in a red gauntlet while facing an orange haired figure in a black shihakusho. Both screaming in anger at the other.

The last screen showed 2 figures talking to each other. A golden helmed individual with two massive horns protruding from the front, clad in emerald, gold and black. The other, a figure floating in the air, wearing spandex like clothing, red and white with a emblazoned O in the center of his chest.

BECAUSE OF YOUR ACTIONS, SEVERAL UNPLANNED NETWORKS WERE MADE! CREATING NON STOP WORK FOR OUR BRETHREN!

"I-I ap-apologize, my-" I was suddenly sent crashing down with such force I became a wet red puddle of gore. I was reformed then sent up in the air before being made into a red puddle once again. Then again. Then again. Then again. Then again. Then again. Then again. Then again. Then again. Then again. Then again.

By the time I realized it wasn't happening anymore, I was curled up like a ball, rocking back and forth, screaming in terror.

It took a few years for me to compose myself.

Brother Mine. That was unnecessary. The Right One scolded.

Sister Mine. You were not the one who had to patch the Bloodborne Network due to this mortal's actions. The Left One said.

Calm yourselves, Brethren. We still have yet to sentence this one's fate. The Middle announced omniously.

I stilled at that.

"Se-sentence, My Lords and Ladies?" I couldn't help but think that I had already finished it?

Indeed. While your punishment curbed many of the unstable works, we still are not satisfied. As the Middle One explained, I began to despair.

"B-But! I thought I was promised rest! I completed over Two Thousand worlds to Lord Reaper's satisfaction! Have I not suffered enough?!" I screamed in anger.

I realized my mistake as I finished shouting at 3 Beings who had the ability to torture me forever and ever. My eyes go wide in horror. To my surprise, They didn't retaliate. They spoke as one.

Indeed. Over Two Thousand lifetimes have you mixed your mistake. Over Two Thousand lifetimes did you do your duty, never once failing. That alone however does not mean you get the rest you think you deserve.

Oh no... Just what did They plan?

We, The Tribunal of the Kaleido Court, hereby do decree. Thomas Anderson, you are not permitted to enter the Pure Lands to rest peacefully in eternal time.

Fuck... FUCK! After everything I did, after EVERYTHING I SACRIFICED! I'm still sentenced to Hell?!

Fine! I'll admit! What I did was stupid. What I did cost millions of lives! But have I not made a billion better?!

In one world, I was able to prevent the Uchiha Massacre! Bring them back into the village! Where they were finally appreciated for their skills! Where they fought and defended a place that previously scorned them. Where their endurance became legendary!

I thwarted the Moon Eye Plan without the 4th World War taking place in my 22nd run! Saving thousands of lives, who in turn went on creating families of their own. Their children continuing on their lineage!

I was able to make Uchiha Fucking Madara see the error of his ways in another! Where he proceeded to protect the world from the Otsutsuki's Invasion!

For fuck's sake! I was able to change both Zetsu's and Kaguya's mind! YOU KNOW HOW HARD THAT WAS?! I HAD TO GIVE THAT CRAZY BITCH THE THERAPY TALK JUTSU 3 TIMES! 3 TIMES!

I may have fucked up in my first run. I may have done the equivalent of dividing 0 by Infinity, BUT I PAID MORE THAN ENOUGH TO FIX SHIT.

GODDAMNIT. I DONT WANNA BE A FUCKING BLONDE AGAIN!

Thomas Anderson. Till YOU are satisfied, you are hereby detained to a specially made and isolated Network where you are free to reincarnate into whoever you wish as many times as you wish.

...

Madara's left tit says what now?


This has been in my mind for a while. This is my take on a timeloop SI fic in Naruto. First chapter will be a bit dark, gore warning (as little as it has) and a mental health warning. Timeloop shenanigans will start next chapter. This will be Crack-ish as I am in the desperate mood to make myself laugh.

I edited the chapter to fix the grammar and the spelling once I got back home.

I will say this now, there will be many chapters in the POV of other characters. Some will also be in the SI's POV. There will even be an attempt, once I get permission of course, to add in other fanfics that are currently dead but having the SI be in the place of the protagonist. Hell, I might add in a few fanfics I have brewing into my head but can't see myself writing a full series of. That might not happen if people are against it though.

One of the fanfics I'm planning on implementing is the Lives Worth Saving, a Naruto Timetravel fanfic by cywsaphyre. I really liked that story and their page stated they were fine with people adopting it. I understand that castermoon has their version out on this site but... it hasn't been updated since 2019.

That being said, it won't be a word for word post when the time comes for me to add it. Implementing it might be the wrong word. I guess you could say it would be heavily inspired by that fic.

Anyway,

Till next time.
