Author's Note: Hello everyone! I just want to take the time out to thank all you who have clicked on my story, read it, and provided feedback. I made a lot of changes to my first 5 Chapters due to recommendations. Hopefully now there will be no confusion and will post additional chapters as soon as I can.
Also, please know that I will not be describing any of the known characters or summons since nothing about them will change (except for maybe fighting styles and techniques). I will only provide descriptions for characters that I either made up or ones that never really got any recognition in the Naruto series. Thanks!
Chapter 6 – Secrets Revealed
'Everyone still shocked and wide eye, they are somewhere in the sky heading towards Suna'
(Naruto: Thankfully Chief Astarot is telepathic and can communicate with me and Kurama that way. I don't need everyone asking questions right now)
(Kurama: Lucky for you kit, hey Astarot, how have you been? It's been a while since I last seen you!)
(Astarot: Ahh, Kurama-Kun how long has it been? About 500 years now?)
(Naruto: Wait, you two know each other?)
(Kurama: Of course we do kit, all demons and any Chief Summon know one another, and yes Astarot, it's been about 500 years… it's been too long my friend. Over the years I ended up stuck with this kit… got to say, life for me has been hell! HAHAHAHA)
(Naruto: HEY! Kurama, should I tell Chief how you've gotten all mushy on me recently?)
(Astarot: Mushy, you say young master? I'd love to hear the story some day! Your jailor isn't that bad, Kurama-Kun. If his story about you is anything to go by, I'm starting to like the young master more and more!)
(Kurama: You would…. Snorts.. Don't go getting any ideas kit, plus you might want to sever our link and talk to your friends, they're looking at you still with their mouths open and their eyes popping out of their skulls!)
(Naruto: Oh right, I almost forgot about them… hahaha. Astarot-Sama, I will talk to you later, you too fuzz butt!)
(Kurama: I swear, the kit is going to be the death of me!)
Naruto: Hey guys, please close your mouths, I'd hate for you all to get bugs in them. Plus I can see Suna already and we don't need Gaara's ninja thinking something is wrong with you all, now do we?
Gaara: Naruto, how did you get this summoning contract?
(Gaara: Uzumaki seems different, more powerful than before. I wonder what happened to him since I last seen him. I know he left with Jiraiya-Dono for 3 years of training, but he couldn't have gotten this strong, could he?)
Naruto: Gaara, don't worry. Once we drop off Granny-Chiyo, grab your brother and sister so we can head to the Leaf. There's much to discuss not to mention what to do with the two S-Ranked criminals you have in that scroll I gave you.
'Everyone for the most part has been quiet, just listening and observing the young Uzumaki. Landing in front of the Kazekage tower, Gaara and Chiyo jumped off.'
'Gaara to two unknown shinobi who appeared as soon as Naruto's Summon landed.'
Gaara: Please go call Kankaro and Temari. Let them know we are leaving on an S-Ranked mission to Konoha. Chiyo-Sama, when I return, let us start to amend broken bridges and start to fix our village together! After my fight with the Akatsuki, I realize there is much we need to do to secure our village better.
Chiyo: Sounds good brat. Call me when you return. There is something that I wish to discuss with you regarding training.
'With that Chiyo and the ninja both left. 10 minutes later, Temari and Kankaro are standing with tears of joy in front of their bother, their leader, their Kazekage!'
Temari: GAARA! YOU'RE SAFE! WELCOME BACK LITTLE BROTHER! Thank you leaf ninjas for bringing him back home safely!
Kankaro: Yea little bro, welcome back! I knew Uzumaki would bring you back unharmed!
Gaara: Temari, Kankaro, this is an S-Rank secret and the only ones who currently know are the ones that are here with us. Before I was rescued, the Akatsuki extracted the One-Tails from me and I died. I don't know how, but Naruto brought me back from the dead and I assume that is why he asked for you two to join us and head to the Leaf Village to talk to the Hokage over the two S-Ranked criminals who captured me and I assume about some more things about this new Naruto in front of us. Is that about right Naruto!?
'Scratches the back of his head with a smile.'
Naruto: Yes, that about sums it up Gaara! So let's not waste any time, everyone jump on to Astarot-Sama so we can head back to Konoha! Oh, and everyone, please no questions until we are with the Hokage and are in a secure room away from prying roots, eyes, and ears!
(Kakashi: How does Naruto know about Root!? Did Master-Jiraiya tell him? I'll save my questioning for when we are with the Hokage. If he is an imposter, we're going to need her strength to take him down!)
'Finally back in the Leaf Village, everyone heads to the Hokage's office. Once inside Tsunade's office, everyone is dismissed after giving their verbal report to the Hokage. The only ones who remained are the sand siblings, Gaara and Kakashi and Naruto.'
Kakashi: Hokage-sama, everything went fine with this mission, but… 'Glances at Naruto' but I have to say, some interesting things happened. Before we get into all of that, Naruto, please set up a privacy seal.
Naruto: No problem Kakashi-Sensei! I was planning on putting up one of my own since it will secure the office properly while we talk and I reveal a few things to you all.
(Kurama: You know he did that on purpose to show your Hokage the "interesting things" that happened, right?)
(Naruto: I know Kurama, I'm only agreeing with it because it should make explaining of things a little bit more easily showing them a bit of what I can do and to better protect me should anyone think of attacking us.)
(Kurama: Hmm, I guess that makes sense. Better to be prepared than not. Old-Man Ashina actually beat some strategy and common sense into you after all it seems!)
(Naruto: You should know, you were there Kurama!)
(Kurama: We're getting off topic kit, get back on track. I want you to summon me after this over so I can go hunt in your village woods!)
(Naruto: Fine….)
'Getting down to business, Naruto places a seal on each wall by touch and then slams his hand on the ground yelling:'
"UZUMAKI COMBINATION SEALING STYLE: PRIVACY CHAKRA ABSORBTION PARALYSIS SEAL!"
Tsunade: NARUTO! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE CHAKRA ABSORBTION PARALYSIS SEAL? You were asked to put up a privacy seal only.
Kakashi: This is part of what I said was interesting Hokage-Sama. I wanted you to see firsthand what I seen during the fight with the Akatsuki and the skills with Sealing Naruto all of a sudden possesses.
Tsunade: Well Naruto, why did you use that seal and what is Kakashi talking about!? Also, since when do you know how to do seals? Did that pervert of a sensei teach you while you were away for the 3 years?
Naruto: To answer your last questions first, NO! Pervy-Sage didn't show me seals, not that he didn't try to teach me though. Now to answer your first question, well, I did it for three reasons Hokage-Sama.
(Tsunade: Hokage-Sama? The brat never calls me that! Just what is going on?)
Naruto: One, we are about to discuss things that are beyond S-Rank secrets. Two, Gaara has two S-Ranked criminals in a scroll that plan on negotiating their surrender to us. And three, for my safety from all of you!
Tsunade: WHAT! That is absurd Naruto, why would you need to be safe from us?
(Kakashi: I knew something was off with him, and if I'm right, that seal only applies to us while he is still able to gather his chakra)
Naruto: Like I said Hokage-Sama, there's going to be things that I am going to tell you that are unbelievable, but are the truth, but in an outrage like you normally get, you or Kakashi might attack me. Gaara and his siblings, I am unsure about, but may also attack me. As you probably guessed Kakashi-Sensei, this seal does not apply to me and I can still gather my chakra.
(Kakashi: I knew it….just what are you hiding Naruto?)
Gaara: Hokage-Dono, I say we get to the matter at hand first and interrogate the Akatsuki. Once done, we can let Naruto tell us what he needs to. I trust him. He saved me twice now and for that, I will hear him out without judgement.
Tsunade: FINE, but let us deal with what he has to tell us first, then we deal with the Akatsuki!
Naruto: You all may want to have a seat for what I am about to tell you and please save your questions to the end of what I have to say.
'Everyone nods their heads'
Naruto: I am the Uzumaki Naruto you all know. What you don't know though, is that I am that same Naruto from 4 years into the future. The Akatsuki started the 4th Great Shinobi War not too far from now. All hidden villages form an Alliance with Gaara being the Commanding General of the Shinobi Alliance Army and Kakashi and Kankaro both as one of his generals in charge of their own division of the Alliance to deal with certain threats. Tsunade, you and the Raikage are the ones overseeing everything from the Shinobi Alliance Headquarters. As the war goes on, more and more shinobi die. Tobi, Zetsu and that traitor Kabuto create a Zetsu Army that out numbers us 3 to 1. There not strong and are easy to kill, but they do have a special ability that allows them to mimic any one they come into contact with down to their chakra signature which causes us to fight amongst one another. I formed clones and sent them to every battle field since my Sage of Six Paths mode can detect them somehow. With new hope, the battles start to die down, but then the main battle begins. All 5 Kages go up against Uchiha Madara and are eventually killed in battle.
Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi and I take on Madara, Obito the Ten-tails and Otsutsiki Kaguya. To make a long story short, we won, but at the cost of everyone eventually dying except for me. I traveled the world for two years searching for any living person. Almost on the verge of giving up, I came to the last place I haven't looked yet. The Village Hidden in the Whirlpools. This is where I ran into all the Uzumakis of the past. My great great Grandfather and the 1st Uzukage Uzumaki Naruko was the first person I saw and then the rest of the villagers. I didn't understand it at first since I thought I was the last Uzumaki, turns out my Jiji was probably the best seal master to ever live. He created a combination seal, what is did, I am unable to tell you and I am also not able to tell you how it is that they were alive when I found them.
I really don't know how long they have been alive for or if they knew what was going on in the shinobi world, but that's not the point. My grandfather trained me for 6 months in the ways of the Uzumakis and within those 6 months, I was able to master all 5 elements, became a master swordsman, a true seal master, master with Genjutsu, master at Taijutsu, and am a beast when it comes to Ninjutsu. I can summon Dragons, Toads, and if the situation calls for it, I can summon Kurama anywhere from his One-Tail state all the way up to his full power at Nine-Tails. After the completion of my training, my grandfather was able to create a seal that was able to send me back in time to fix things and to make sure we end up living in a world of peace. Grandfather's seal brought me back 4 years right into the middle of the fight with the Akatsuki. That is why you and Sakura seen me frozen for a while Kakashi-Sensei.
After the fight, I sealed both Sasori and Deidra into the scroll that Gaara has, summoned the chief dragon and here we are. Questions?
'The room erupted into questions. One after another, people cutting people off. The usually stoic Gaara was the most surprising without taking a breath, he must have asked 50 questions in a row. To get everyone back on track and civilized, Naruto flared his chakra to quiet the room.'
Naruto: I will answer one question each. After that, we should really start working on interrogating the two Akatsuki members. Tsunade first, then Gaara, Kakashi, Kankaro and last Temari. Think wisely before asking.
Tsunade: This is hard to believe Naruto. I know you are the number hyper active unpredictable ninja, but this is the icing on the cake. If you are from the future, then it is safe to assume you know me and know about my technique I use that won't let me die in battle. So how then, how did I die while using that?
Naruto: You mean the Creation of Rebirth? I always wondered what that diamond on your forehead was for. It's hard for me to say since I didn't witness you using that move, but if I had to guess, you ran out of the chakra that you had stored in that diamond on your forehead and while using the technique, you used up all your chakra, multiplying your cells at a rapid pace and exerted your life span to where you became a brittle old lady. From what I was told, because of Madara's hate for Senju's once he seen your body was brittle, he used Amaterasu on you and didn't extinguish the flames until you were nothing but ashes. Once I was told of what happened, I lost it and went to fight Madara on my own. I was able to destroy him a few times, but he kept on regenerating. I was so pissed for what he did to you, it took Hinata to calm me down. I guess the reason why you all died was because he was an Edo-Tensei at the time you and the rest of the Kages fought him. If he was mortal like when Sasuke and I killed him, he wouldn't have stood a chance against the 5-Kage, maybe.
(Tsunade: How did he know that technique and what it does to the user? I never told him any of that! If what he says is true, then Madara is alive and needs to be taken out. He killed me in a gruesome way. If we are to meet on the battlefield again, I hope things would be different this time!)
Naruto: Oh, and you're right, you never told me anything about your technique or what it does. And for the record, I created a seal that does the same minus the drawbacks. The only drawback it has is the amount of chakra the person using it is able to supply. I can use the seal a few times a day without any problems. In fact, that was the same seal that I used on Gaara to bring him back to life. He may no longer have the One-Tails sealed in him, but Gaara is stronger now as he is than when he had the One-Tails sealed into him. Thanks to me using Sage Mode and Kurama's Chakra, Gaara absorbed both chakras which fused with his own. If I had to guess, his current strength probably rivals the Three-Tails right now.
Gaara, you're up.
Gaara: Sorry Naruto, you answered the question I wanted to ask. If you would allow me time to think of a new question, do you mind moving on to Kakashi?
Naruto: Sure Gaara, Kakashi, you're up!
Kakashi: You mentioned you went up against Obito, how is that possible, I seen him die all those years ago when he gave me this eye!
Naruto: Kakashi, you're not going to like this, but Obito is the man in the spiral orange mask who was parading around the elemental nations claiming to be Madara. He was the one who crashed the Kage Summit where you and Tenzo, Yamato now escorted Tsunade as her body guards and declared War on the big 5, Konoha, Suna, Iwa, Kumo and Mist. He takes on the identity of Madara until Madara is resurrected via Edo-Tensei where he then reveals who he truly is. He was the one who sent Kurama on the rampage when I was born controlling him with his sharingan. Because of him, both my dad and mom sacrificed their lives so I can live. The incident that happened between you and Rin, he could have helped you, but instead he was in the back ground watching. When you passed out, he slaughtered the remaining Iwa shinobi and left you. Seeing Rin die is what caused him to go down that dark path.
(Kakashi: Lies! They have to be. I seen Obito die!)
'Kakashi was shaking uncontrollably with tears running down his eyes'
Naruto: I know you think I'm lying Kakashi-Sensei, but I assure you it's the truth. On a positive note, towards the end, Obito turns good and even took a killing blow for you. Before he died though, he gave you his other sharingan to make your set complete. Let's just say Sasuke was pissed seeing what you a non-Uchiha was able to do with Obito's eyes… he kept saying something about you being a non-Uchiha or some crap like that. I'm going to tell you what Itachi told me once, Sasuke is still a blank canvas that can still be painted different colors. He just needs the right motivation and push in the right direction. In this case, I mean Obito. He can still change, it's not too late for him yet which is why I came back. I came back to change the world!
Kakashi: Thank you Naruto… I just need some time to think and go over everything you just said to me.
Naruto: No problem Sensei. Kankaro, you're up!
Kankaro: Let's see. I really don't know what to ask so I'm just going to ask what kind of kick ass squad I commanded during the war!?
Naruto: Really, out of everything you can ask you ask that? Wow, and here I was thinking that I was the class dobe and dead last… sigh. You commanded the ambush squad. Temari, you're up.
Kankaro: What? Wait, that's it, just the ambush squad? You're not going to go into depth like you did for the Hokage or Kakashi?
Naruto: Nope. It's not that I don't want to, it's just I really don't know what you or your squad actually did, sorry. Temari, your question?
'Everyone starts to laugh at Kankaro while he sulks in the corner'
Temari: You're good with seals and have already mastered all the elements… could you… can I… would you allow me to train under you Naruto-Sensei!?
Naruto: Wow, definitely not something that I thought was going to be asked by you, especially how smart you are. But to answer your question, yes and no.
Temari: What do you mean yes and no!?
Naruto: Here I thought you were SMART Temari. I wonder what Shika see's in you, mustn't be that brain of yours! HAHAHAHA
Temari: Why you! 'turning red'
'Tsunade and Gaara both smile at reading underneath the underneath'
Tsunade: What your fellow blonde is trying to say Temari is that we are all going to be getting trained, maybe not by Naruto directly, but in some sort of way we will be.
Naruto: That's right Granny! You're up Gaara!
Gaara: Naruto, my question doesn't have to do with anything related to the war or how I die or anything like that. I would like to ask a question, but it is more personal and if you allow it, can I ask you while we are alone?
'Gaara Blushing red'
Naruto: Sure Gaara. You can ask me on the way to your Village. I will be giving you guys a ride back so the Sand Village doesn't miss their Kage to much!
Gaara: Thank you Naruto!
Naruto: Now that that is over with, I say we head over to the T & I department to get all the info we can out of these two Akatsuki members and then decide what to do with them!
