Major changes will reflect in the later part as our MC grows up. The story has strong AU elements op Mc

9. Roran

The destination of our mission is Roran, the City of Towers. It is a city surrounded by deserts and lies in the Land of Wind.

Hiruzen received a report from one of his spies in the Land of Wind. Anrokuzan the evil minister of Roran is concocting an evil scheme to utilize the Chakra ley line below the city of Roran to amass power and eventually wage war on five nations.

Our mission is to investigate and eliminate Anrokuzan, thus overthrowing his evil schemes. After an hour all of us gather near Konoha's entrance gate as we are ready to depart.

"Izuna, Kakashi! Both of you will scout the city and search for clues regarding the plans of Anrokuzan. Me, Choza, and Shibi will confront the enemy while we guard the Queen Sara of the Roran from shadows."

Minato takes out his special kunais and hands one to both of us.

"Keep this kunai with you. In case of an emergency, I will be able to teleport to you in an instant and help you deal with the problem."

Both of us nods to him and keep the kunai in our kunai holster.

Roran is very far from Konoha. To reach Roran we have to travel through Land of Rivers then enter Land of Winds and further travel in the hot scorching desert to finally reach the destination. Although Roran is surrounded by desert, there is an oasis near it which helps the city with many issues.

Our team of five moves out for the destination. We travel non-stop for seven hours. Choza and Shibi are surprised to see me and Kakashi being able to keep up with them. Unable to hold his curiosity back, Choza asks Minato,

"Minato, these kids can keep up with our speed and stamina especially that younger Uchiha kid. You have done a really job training Kakashi as he is your team member, so you are aware of his capabilities. But what about the Uchiha kid, how do you know him so well?"

Minato chuckles as he replies,

"Choza-san, in the past two years, Izuna had been training with my team regularly. He even skipped academy using a Shadow clone to train with us. I can only say one thing, if Kakashi is a genius then Izuna is a genius among genius. He helped me create my A-Rank Jutsu Rasengan and before I could improve it further Izuna already perfected the Jutsu to an S-rank all on his own.

The most surprising thing is he has enough Chakra to use the S-rank jutsu in an attack and still preserve his Chakra. I can easily say, he can defeat most of the Jounins of our village quite easily. And if caught by surprise, his S-rank jutsu can even take down a Kage-level Shinobi. What he lacks is only experience and I thought that this mission would help him gain some of it."

Choza and Shibi are shocked by this revelation as both of them mutter at the same time,

"What a Monster?"

"Anyway we have traveled for quite a while, let's take some rest to preserve our stamina and we will continue after an hour of rest."

Both of them agree with the decision as we stop and start to recover our stamina.

"Hey, Kakashi! You really missed out on that delicious heavenly ramen. But worry not I have got you covered."

I take out the bowl of hot Ramen from my storage scroll and present it to Kakashi. Kakashi strangely looks at me before he starts to dig in. I wanted to see the face of Kakashi with my own eyes.

In our two years of friendship, I have never ever, even once seen Kakashi without his mask. Well, I have seen his face from the anime but that was when Kakashi is an adult. I want to see how the chibi Kakashi looks like.

I intently stare at Kakashi as I activate my Sharingan and stare at him. I want to record his face in my memories and make a poster of it and distribute it among all of his teammates and friend.

Kakashi takes out the chopstick as he breaks it and gets ready to eat the ramen. My stare intensifies as I wait for the moment. As Kakashi is about to remove his mask and start eating his ramen, I feel a heavy hand on my shoulder.

Startled I turn around as my Sharingan flashes and creeps out the intruder. Choza is startled by my Sharingan as he retreats. I deactivate my Sharingan as I ask him,

"Sorry to startle you Choza-san. Is there anything that I can help you with?"

Choza scratches the back of his head as he inquires me,

"Earlier I saw you giving the hot ramen bowl to Kakashi. So, if you have any extra bowl remaining, can you share it with me?"

"Oh! Only this. I do have a last bowl remaining which I was saving for the future, but there is no point in it. You can have the bowl."

I take out the other bowl of Ramen and hands it over to Choza. He greedily slurps down the ramen as he remark,

"What heavenly ramen? Aahh….So, good. "

I agree with him as I comment,

"Yes, this is the best ramen I have ever eaten. These silky noodles and that shiny broth which slides down your throat and soothes your soul. This is true bliss."

Choza nods as he agrees with me as asks,

"If you don't have any problem, can I ask you a question Izuna-kun?"

I nod to him as I reply,

"As long as it is not something pertaining to our clan secret or any of such sort, I won't mind answering your question."

"It is nothing of that sort. I just wanted to ask you about your Sharingan,if you are fine with answering me. It is pretty unusual to see a weir…unusual Sharingan, that too at such a young age."

"Oh, it is nothing secretive. I awakened my Sharingan previous years as I did many life and death mission with many teams and faced the death of many of my comrades which awakened my Sharingan. Father said that my Sharingan is a mutated one and depending on the mutations, they can either mature slowly or mature fast. My Sharingan is the latter one as it matured really fast." I replied to him.

"Oh! That's how it is. Thanks for the ramen,Izuna-kun."

Minato and Shibi silently hears our conversation, but the shock on their faces is apparent when they saw my Sharingan. They are aware of the fact that many mutations of Kekkai Genkai tend to be harmful to the user and it can even cause death. They looked at me with a strange expression but I ignored it.

'Damn! Kakashi is still eating the ramen. I have to record his face.'

"Thank you for the food."

As I turn around to face Kakashi, the latter had already finished his Ramen as he covered his face with mask again and place the chopsticks and bowl in a scroll.

'F*! Kishimoto and his setting. One day I will unmask Kakashi before everyone.'

I grudgingly look at Kakashi who was confused by my expression.

After an hour is over, we start to run toward the Land of Winds again as the journey is too long.

With our almost non-stop travel, we finally reached Roran, the City of Towers after four days. All of us were exhausted either mentally or physically and we needed a break to recuperate from the fatigue. So, we decided to stay in the oasis outside the Roran as we relaxed.

From a distance, Roran looked like an Obelisk with a broad platform and many spikey structures jutted out of it. The city had a strange design.

I activated my Sharingan to start the telescopic vision paired with X-Ray vision as I peek inside the city. The platform like structure is the walls of the city which blocks the ever-present hot sandy winds from entering the city and the spikey structures are various towers where the people of Roran reside. The highest town in the middle of the city is the Queen's Palace where the Queen Sara of Roran resides.

The entire city had a gothic feel to it with many sky-scraping narrow towers pointed in the sky. I didn't reveal my discovery to them as it is pointless to do so and they will figure it out on their own once we reach near the city.

All of us start to prepare our tents to sleep in the forest. Setting tents would help us sleep in a more relaxed manner. There is no fear of any insects biting us, Shibi is able to contact the insects and ask them to stay away from us.

Minato and I start to set up some detection seals and other seals around our camps to warn us of any threat. Kakashi also helped by placing some traps, in case of an ambush. Shibi just sent his insects out to scout the area, meanwhile, Choza just sat in the tent as he munched down on dry rations like snacks.

We were pretty much set as all of us went to sleep in our tents.

It's time. Let's move out. Kakashi and Izuna, both of you start scouting the area as soon as we reach Roran. The three of us will keep an eye on Anrokuzan and Queen Sara."

We reached the outer walls of Roran and all of us start to climb the walls to infiltrate the city. Minato gave us a few strange tribal masks to hide our identities.

We separate from each other at the wall as I start to scout the area with my Sharingan. The large towers of Roran blocked most of the sunlight, the lighting of the city is mostly artificial light powered by Chakra from the ley line.

I start to fumble around the city to search for the Ryumyaku or the Chakra ley line. From the movie, I am aware of the general location. The location is near five large pipes that run underground and are connected to a secret Chamber where the seal for Ryumyaku is hidden.

As I was searching around the city, a brilliant flash of light appeared for a second in a place not too far from me. I immediately start to run towards the place.

A man with short brown hair and black, almond-shaped eyes lay unconscious on the ground. He wore the standard Jounin uniform but without the Uzumaki crest on the shoulders. He also wore a form-fitting navy-blue t-shirt that goes up to his chin. Two pouches with ninja tools were strapped to his lower back. But his most distinctive feature was his Happuri-Style Forehead Protector that frames his face similar to Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.

'Oh! Look who is this Pokémon?... Cough… cough I mean who is this person, it is future Yamato. He is not aware of my identity and neither do I so I have to act the part of a stranger. Hmm… he is a test subject of Orochimaru with Hashirama Cells that in turn gives him Asura's cells. Maybe I can take out some of his blood to examine.'

I slowly walk to Yamato and make some hand signs

'Earth Style: Rock Binding'

I bind Yamato in case, he attacks me. Well, the moment he wakes up, he will be on guard against enemy attack. I take out a kunai and a sample bottle from my storage scroll. Ninjas usually carry sample tubes as during any mission if we face against any Kekkai Genkai user and bleed them, the village can experiment on their blood to find the weakness of the Kekkai Genkai.

I lightly stab Yamato with my Kunai as I collect his blood sample. The pain from the stab causes the unconscious Yamato to gain consciousness. He slowly opens his eyes as he looks around in confusion before he puts up guard,

"Stop, Right there! You are surrounded by the FBI. Throw your weapons, kneel on the ground, and put your hands behind your head."

Yamato is startled to hear this monologue as it reminded him of a certain powerful Shinobi who likes to say weird things that are unheard of.

"Izuna-San!...is it you Izuna-San?"

"Hold, it right there! Who are you, introduce yourself? Otherwise, I have to consider you as an enemy and deal with you."

I just start to say random things to Yamato following the protocol as this is my first meeting with him.

"You are wearing the Konoha forehead protector, which means you are a leaf shinobi. But Hokage-sama only sent our team on this secret mission. This can only mean one thing, either you are a spy or you are in disguise. I will bring you back to Konoha for interrogation."

"Sorry, Izuna-san. I don't know what happened here, but the ruins of Roran have changed into a city and you somehow turned into a kid."

I take off my mask as I activate my Sharingan. I am ready to assault Yamato.

'Well, I wanted to fight Yamato and see the wood release for myself. I can use wood Release but I don't know the exact jutsus and Chakra ratio and even Chakra pathways to circulate wood chakra. While fighting with Yamato, I can learn the jutsus and I can practice and improve them later. So, I definitely have to fight him.'

"Enough with your chit-chat and excuses. You are coming with me to interrogation."

I start to infuse chakra as I make hand signs.

"Then sorry Izuna-san. I need to find Naruto, Sakura, and Sai. We have to stop Mukade at all costs."

'Fire style: Great Fireball Technique'

I spew out a large fireball at Yamato who is held in my Rock Binding. Yamato breaks the rock binding by converting his hands in wood as he immediately makes hand signs and slams his hands on the ground.

'Wood Style: Wood Locking Wall'

Pillars of wood sprouts from the ground from both the left and right side of Yamato as they join together to form a wooden dome. The fireball collides with the wooden dome as it explodes but wooden dome protects Yamato.

"Oh! A wood style user similar to First Hokage, now you definitely need to follow me back to the village."

I make some more hand signs as I knead a large amount of Chakra and release it,

'Fire Style: Searing Fire Bullet'

I spew out a compressed fireball that travels at a very fast speed and collides with the wooden dome instantly incinerating it and covering it in flames.

'Water Style: Tearing Torrent'

Yamato throws out a large amount of water from his hands and extinguishes the flame.

'Wood Style: Four-Pillar Prison Technique'

Large numbers of wooden pillars rise from the ground around me trapping me in a wooden prison. I infuse Chakra in my hands as I punch them, but they were able to block my punch.

"It is futile Izuna-san. This wood is coated with a thick layer of Chakra and it can't be destroyed so easily." Yamato remarks.

"Oh! Is that so."

I smirk at Yamato as my hand reaches to my back as I pull out Chakra Blade and I start to infuse Light Chakra in it. My blade starts to glow red, then it turns blue.

'Light Style: Light Sabre'

This technique is inspired from one of my favorite series in my past life. The blade produces a humming sound from the vibrations caused by the intense electromagnetic radiations and heat. I swing the blade as it slices through the wooden pillars like a hot knife slices through butter.

Yamato has his mouth wide-opened as he gawks at me.

"Now, it's your turn."

I look at Yamato as I start to swing my blade and dash towards him.

"Ah! Shit. Even in his childhood, Izuna-san is a monster."

Yamato immediately makes some hand signs as he stretches out his hand towards me,

'Wood Style: Great Forest Technique'

His left arm transforms into a large tree that lengthens at high speed and forks into many branches as it comes towards me. The ends of the tree change into many sharp stakes.

I swing my Chakra blade easily slicing and dicing all of the trees as I march towards him.

Yamato is terrified by this as he immediately makes hand signs and slams his hands on the ground,

'Wood Style: Nativity of a Sea of Trees'

A large amount of tress and grass start to grow from the ground as they covered the surrounding terrain.

I put back my Chakra blade as I stretch out my right hand and start to form a Rasengan.

'Big Ball Rasengan'

A big ball Rasengan the size of a basketball is formed in my hand as I open my mouth and spew out some flames on top it.

'Flame Release: Big Ball Burning Rasengan'

I slam the flaming Rasengan into the trees as they are destroyed and burnt with my Rasengan. I notice the presence of Minato who is running towards me to stop me but I continue to run toward Yamato. As I am about to touch Yamato, Minato suddenly teleports beside me and grabs my hand to stop my assault.

"Stop, Izuna. He is not an enemy." Minato orders me.

Yamato slumps down on the ground as he starts to pant heavily. He had run out of Chakra.

"Oh! I am aware of it. I was just teasing the guy and wanted to let some of my stress from past years loose and this guy happens to be a suitable practice target."

Both Minato and Yamato sweat-drop at my comment as Yamato asks me since when,

"Oh! That, when this guy popped from, out of nowhere. He was engulfed in a strange light, I was able to sense the fluctuation of a Space-time Ninjutsu from the light and Minato-San even your Chakra and sealing formula was mixed within.

So, I deduced that this guy is a time-traveler. Either he is from the past or from the future. When he called me Izuna-san despite my young age, I concluded that he is from the future. Since he is older than me by around twenty years and still calls me Izuna-san which means he is my equal."

Minato is shocked by my deduction as he praises me,

"Amazing, Izuna-kun. Your deduction is accurate, this guy is from the future and we just met up with this guy's companion called Naruto. I sent that guy to protect Princess Sara.

I have located the Anrokuzan whose original name is Mukade. Let us defeat him and foil his evil plan."

Boom…boom

Our conversation is interrupted by the sound of a huge explosion that blew one of the nearby Tower.

I felt a large amount of Chakra filled with animosity and hatred from the tower. So, this is the Chakra of Nine-Tails. I couldn't really feel the Chakra of Nine-Tails when I am with Big-sister Kushina as her seal is way too powerful compared to the Naruto's seal. The seal is personally crafted by Mito Uzumaki who is one of the most powerful Fuinjutsu users ever according to records.

We leave an exhausted Yamato behind as all of us run towards the explosion. I finally saw Naruto for the first time.

He wore an orange and black jacket with a red Uzumaki crest on the back. He also wore orange pants with a shuriken holster on his right knee, black sandals, and a black forehead protector. His yellow blond hair, paired with blue eyes greatly resembled Minato. The trademark three whiskers markings were ever-present on his cheeks.

Naruto confronted a large spider-like puppet with eight arms as it attacks him. He makes a 'Big Ball Rasengan' and slams the puppet in the ground. The nearby parts of the broken puppets start to rise in the air as they are being controlled by Chakra threads. All of the parts start to assemble and fuse with the spider puppet as the puppet starts to recover.

Kakashi who had been planting explosive tags all around start to detonate them. Choza uses his 'Partial Expansion Jutsu' as he punches the puppet into a wall. Shibi covers the puppet with his insects to suck the Chakra out of it and thus cut-off the Chakra supply of the puppet.

The ground begins to tremble as the remaining parts of the puppets assemble together to form a large humanoid scorpion puppet. The puppet body of Mukade fuses with the large puppet as he starts to rampage around.

Naruto uses some Shadow Clones to pin the puppet but the puppet just shakes them off. The puppet breaks free from the confines of the Tower as it breaks a wall and runs rampant on streets.

As for me, I just create a large Rasengan and slam it into the puppet. The lower body of the puppet is blown away but it starts to absorb Chakra from Ryumyaku and regenerates itself in seconds.

"We won't be able to destroy the puppet unless we cuts-off its power source." Minato remarks.

The Anrokuzan puppet creates Chakra thread as it ties Princess Sara and starts to pull her towards itself. Naruto uses his Chakra Blade to sever the Chakra thread and save the princess.

The princess decides to seal the source of Ryumyaku as she grabs hold of Naruto's Chakra blade. Minato, Naruto, and I decide to break in the main tower to cut off the power source. Meanwhile, Choza and Shibi hold the puppet back.

Shibi infuses chakra in his insects as they quickly multiply and create a swamp below the giant puppet.

'Ninja Art: Insect Deception Jutsu'

The insects cover the puppet and start to devour its Chakra. Choza eats a Chakra pill and expands into a giant as he throws the puppet into a nearby tower.

Anrokuzan puppet absorbs more Chakra from Ryumyaku as it destroys Shibi's insects. The puppets run off to prevent Princess and Naruto from cutting off the Chakra.

Naruto creates a Big Ball Rasengan greatly surprising Minato. He throws the Rasengan to the puppet but it gets blocked by its tail.

"If we want to take it down, we have to find its weak spot."

'Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu'

Minato throws multiple shurikens to find the weak spot of the puppet. The puppet starts to regenerate again. Anrokuzan is annoyed by Naruto's continuous assault as he opens his mouth wide,

'Ley-Line Great Dragon Fire'

A huge amount of purple flames erupts from its mouth as it fires towards Naruto.

'Earth Style: Mud Wall'

Naruto makes a mud wall to block the fire attack.

'Wind Style: Rasenshuriken'

Naruto creates a large Rasenshuriken and throws it towards the Puppet, but the puppet opens its mouth and sucks the Chakra from jutsu inside itself.

Anrokuzan swats Naruto away like a fly as it continues to run towards the sealed gate.

'Earth Style: Mud Swap'

I immediately make some hand signs as I slam my hands on the ground and create a mud swamp to stop the puppet. Anrokuzan struggles for a while before it draws more Chakra from the Ryumyaku and breaks free from the swamp.

Naruto and Minato merges their Rasengan through Chakra Resonance to create the Legendary,

'Supreme Ultimate Rasengan'

"Now, I can't stay behind in the fun can I?"

'Lightning Style: Vanishing Rasengan'

I create a Big lightning Rasengan and throw it towards Anrokuzan. Anrokuzan laugh hysterically as he shouts,

"Whatever that jutsu is, it can't stop me. Now, I shall you one of my most powerful Jutsu."

'Ley-Line Ultimate Great Dragon Fire Jutsu'

The puppet spews out a large beam of purple fire from its stomach. Naruto dodges the beam as Minato opens a hole in the puppet with his 'Shuriken Shadow clone jutsu'. The combination of mine and Naruto's Rasengan destroy the puppet.

The puppet falls in Ryumyaku as it starts to destabilize the ley-line. The seal preventing the destabilization has been destroyed.

Both Yamato and Naruto glow as Minato speaks,

"The perpetrator of the Jutsu Mukade just died, so the pendulum of time will reset itself and both of you will return to your era."

Naruto finally notices my presence and I am really curious to see his expression. He points towards me,

"Are…are you Big brother Izuna?"

He is surprised to see me as he starts to speak,

"Big Brother Izuna, it really is you? Where you went off to in….."

"Ok!...ok! stop from further revealing the future as it may change the timeline."

Minato stops Naruto from speaking further as he continues,

"To prevent the Change in the timeline, I will seal all of our memories."

He makes some hand signs as he presses his hand on the ground, a large Fuinjutsu seal appears on ground as it covers all of us.

'Memory Erasing Seal'

'Sorry, Minato-san but I already know about the future. So, I won't comply with your request.'

I activate my Sharingan as I quickly start to analyze the weakness of the seal. After I find the weakness, I prepare a hand seal of my own which covers my body.

'Suppress'

The seal covers all of us including Minato but I shook off the seal with my counter-seal. A white light engulfs us all as Naruto and Yamato disappear in it.

After the light fades away, all four of them forget about the event as they start to recall the details.

"We were on a mission to stop Anrokuzan evil plan. Have we succeeded?" Choza questions.

"I suppose."

I point toward the broken puppet as I remark.

"Then why can't I remember anything?" Shibi frowns as he mutter.

"What's important is the completion of the mission and since we have already completed the mission, there is no need for us to dabble further into it. Let us return back to Konoha." Minato cuts our conversation as he orders us to return.

"Yes, we will return to the Konoha soon." Choza and Shibi agree.

"Kakashi, you did a good job with the mission." Minato praises Kakashi.

As we are about to return I sensed something below the sealing pillar, something attracting me towards itself.

"Minato-san, I want to check the sealing formula once again, maybe it will help me learn more about Fuinjutsu."

"Alright then, but you should hurry up as we have to depart and report about the mission to Hokage-sama."

"Ok! Minato-san. I will only just take a few seconds."

Minato and the rest of the team start to move out as I move toward the column. After ensuring that nobody is present, I jump down from the platform as I move towards the bottom of the seal.

As I moved down, the attraction became stronger. Soon, I reached the base of the sealing pillar just above the Chakra of the Ley-Line. The Chakra of the ley-line is too volatile and hot as sweat begins to drip from my head.

A metallic edge of something is protruding out from the rock wall. As soon as I touch the metallic edge, my Chakra starts to drain as the metallic edge start to shine in purple light. The nearby rocks and debris start to crumble to reveal a metallic box.

I curiously pick up the metallic box to check it out. There is a weird star-like symbol with eight pointy spikes and an eye in the middle of the box. There are six holes around the eye as they resemble a missing part of the box.

As I touched the middle-eye, the book suddenly starts to glow in purple color. The eye shines brightly as the box starts to float in front of me. One of the spikes of the eyes shoots in my direction as it pierces my hand.

I almost screamed in pain but I clutched my mouth with my other hand. The metal box starts to suck my Blood and Chakra inside itself. I start to frantically shake the box in an attempt to free myself from it. I immediately activate my Sharingan to search for any details. As soon as I activated my Sharingan, the box start to heat up again as the eye in the middle of the book opens and a purple beam of light is ejected from it. The beam is too fast for me as I am unable to avoid it.

The beam starts to scan my Sharingan as the box start to spin rapidly. The box closes on me and before I could react, the eight spikes of the book pierce my hand as the box vanishes. A weird fuinjutsu seal appears on my hand. I try to rub the seal but I am unable to clear the mark.

I start to use fuinjutsu to suppress the weird seal but my fuinjutsu seals shatter on contact with the seal. I frantically start to think of a way to get rid of this trouble and start to curse myself,

'Fuck! Mainly in many novels and animes in such a situation the main character is supposed to get a powerful item. But why do I have to get a cursed seal instead? Fuck! I shouldn't have paid any heed to this strange attraction and now I seem to be in great trouble.'

"Sin…Grimoire of Sin"

These words echoed in my mind.
