Peinful Reality
Naruto landed across from Kurenai, who had led him to the same field where he had been sent here from and the same field he had arrived in.
"Alright," Kurenai sighed. "Now, first I'll have to ask, are you lying to me? And if you are, I will not kill you. I promise."
"I'm not lying," Naruto stated forming a Rasengan in his right hand. "How would I know this if I hadn't trained under my father and Master Jiraiya?"
"You wouldn't," Kurenai sighed. "Alright. Then I'll have to believe you. And you need to be filled in on history."
"This'll be faster with Sasuke," Naruto stated. "Where is he?"
"Dead?" Kurenai stated.
"Huh?" Naruto gaped. "He's...how?"
"Let me start from the beginning, based on what you told me," Kurenai sighed. "First, Lord Minato's wife died as a result of the Nine-tails being released. Lord Minato sealed half of it inside himself and the other half inside of her, saving the village from death. Lord Third took over as Hokage in his stead. Years later, Itachi Uchiha massacred his entire clan, leaving only Sasuke alive. That was probably the Uchiha uprising you mentioned. Danzo I had never heard of for a long time. As for teams, Sakura Haruno was never a ninja. She is just some slut that offers herself to a dozen shinobi on a regular basis. There was never a mission in the Land of Waves, so as far as I know, Zabuza and this Haku person are both still alive. Sasuke Uchiha was the only person in his year to enter the Chunin exams, the others taking it the next year, and yes, Sasuke did fight Orochimaru and was given the curse mark."
"Hold on," Naruto sighed. "Me not existing kept Sakura from being a ninja and turned her into a slut? How the fuck is that my fault? And, what about Hinata? Her, Kiba, and Shino would still have entered, right?"
"They did, just the next year."
"While we're on the topic of Hinata, why the hell did she agree to wear such a revealing dress?" Naruto asked. "She was given a choice right?"
"She chose the dress," Kurenai stated making Naruto's jaw bounce off the ground. "I don't know what she's like in your world, but here, that's probably one of the most...conservative outfits I've ever seen her in. There have been days when she wears only a miniskirt and her sweatshirt, which is always open."
"Whoa whoa whoa," Naruto said waving his hands. "Hinata's a slut? What the hell? How the flying fuck is that my fault!?"
"I would assume in your world she tried to be a better person for you," Kurenai guessed. "May I continue?"
"About history sure," Naruto nodded.
"Thank you," Kurenai smirked. "Now, When Gaara of the Sand attacked the Hidden Leaf, Sasuke and Sasuke alone attempted to fight him. In the end, Sasuke died from his wounds but not before killing Gaara."
"Gaara's dead too?" Naruto groaned. "Fuck! And I suppose you didn't save Fu? Or Killer B?"
"Never heard of them," Kurenai shrugged. "So, no. The Third Hokage was the one to fight Orochimaru and died doing so. Danzo never attacked, because he was never a criminal to our village. The I've never heard of the Princess of the Land of Snow, no one ever went after a Bikochu, no one was ever taken from the Hidden Sand Village that I'm aware of, and I don't know anything about a race. There was a group of knights trying to conquer everything using some type of stone as a power source. They obliterated the Hidden Sand Village then were wiped out when fighting us."
"You killed Haido?" Naruto asked. "Their leader? He wore one of the stones in a glove to give himself massive power."
"I don't remember anyone like that no," Kurenai said shaking her head. "But maybe someone else beat him. Probably Kakashi or Guy. Now that I think about it, though, I thought the leader was named Temujin. He was killed by Lady Tsunade after Jiraiya went after her and helped her defeat Orochimaru, though, not indefinitely."
"I see," Naruto sighed. "What else?"
"Well," Kurenai said thoughtfully. "I don't know anyone claiming to be from the Akatsuki but Itachi returned with black robes with red clouds and Kisame was with him. Might Guy, Kakashi, and myself killed Kisame but Jiraiya and Lady Tsunade had to help us in order to defeat Itachi. When Moryo escaped, he was eventually stopped by Master Jiraiya and Orochimaru working together, both in something called Sage Mode, the same thing you fought Pein in. A couple of years later, Asuma was killed by a pair of ninja that were both seemingly immortal. Kakashi led Asuma's team against the two to stop them from killing anyone else and they were eventually stopped but only after Shikamaru and Choji were both killed. When the Sky Ninja attacked, they destroyed the entire village, killing countless people. A group of our strongest shinobi were sent after them while Hinata, Might Guy's Jutsu expert Lee, his Taijutsu expert Tenten, and his weapons specialist Neji all went with a famous doctor named Shinno and his student to save her village. They were too late but did arrive in time to fight Shinno, who turned out to be the leader of the Sky Village. He was in command of a leech thing that gave him power, probably the Zero-tails by your story, and he and the leech only died because Neji and Tenten stayed behind and destroyed the base they were all in while Lee and Hinata escaped. We never had a mission regarding the Three-tails, so it's probably still out there-"
"The Akatsuki have it then," Naruto stated. "Of course."
"Maybe," Kurenai shrugged. "Master Jiraiya was killed by six people who all had matching eyes, not long after-"
"Pein," Naruto interrupted. "He has the Rinnegan and uses it to control six puppets."
"Yeah," Kurenai nodded. "Anyway, they attacked and destroyed the Hidden Leaf Village then killed Lady Tsunade and several others. Kakashi was nearly killed but was saved by Lee, who sacrificed his own life to do it. Before the shinobi could kill everyone else, Orochimaru, Kabuto, and Danzo arrived, along with a massive army of Orochimaru's test subjects, four of which had cursed seals and a second level to them. They all attacked the six shinobi and at first it looked like they would win but in the end, the only survivor was Lord Danzo."
"Lord Danzo?" Naruto asked before looking at the mountain again. "Right. Hokage. Well, did anyone go after the real Pein? Or Konan?"
"If you mean the woman that can turn into paper, yes, she was killed when she tried to help the six shinobi," Kurenai stated. "As for the seventh, no. We assumed it was just the six."
"Shit," Naruto groaned. "Then he's still plotting revenge for-"
He was interrupted by an explosion and he and Kurenai instantly hurried toward it, finding Nagato standing a short distance away, rods extending from his back but body mostly regenerated, a Leaf Village shinobi clutched in his hand, the shinobi withered away to skin and bones.
"Nagato," Naruto began, raising his hands. "Don't do this. Let's talk. Please."
"Get out of my way, boy," Nagato snarled. "Actually, don't. By that headband, this is your village. So you are my enemy. You will die too."
"That is an exceedingly bad idea," Naruto warned. "Please listen to me. I'm an Uzumaki, just like you. Except my family are the direct descendants of the Uzumaki Clan leader. I'm stronger than you, even with those eyes."
"A survivor?" Nagato growled. "Well, it doesn't matter. Whether you're telling the truth or not, I will destroy the Leaf. If you defend them, you die."
"Konan's dead, right?" Naruto asked. "You're trying to avenge her, right? But the people that killed her are dead. And even if they weren't, would she really want you to obliterate everyone here in her name? Would she really want you to murder all these people? I know it hurts. The person I love was taken from me less than a day ago. But that doesn't make mass genocide okay. Please, don't do this, for Konan."
"KONAN IS GONE! ! !" Nagato raged, hands curling into fists, the Leaf shinobi's body falling to the ground as tears rolled down Nagato's face. "She's dead! And those fuckers in that village are the cause! I will kill them! Now step aside or join them! You are no Uzumaki!"
"Nagato," Naruto sighed. "I really was hoping to avoid this."
He formed several spectral blades and fired them at Nagato.
"Almighty Push!" Nagato shouted, deflecting the blades and blasting Kurenai backward into the wall, knocking her to the ground but not hard enough to do any real damage, since Naruto was in front of her and had withstood the blast, looking like nothing had hit him but a strong gust of wind. "That's...impossible. You're...you truly are an Uzumaki."
"I'll give you one more chance to walk away Nagato," Naruto warned. "If you continue to try to harm my village, I will kill you. I am far stronger than you Nagato. Please, don't make me kill my own clan member."
"I don't care who you are," Nagato growled. "No one will stop me!"
He broke off and hurled a piece of the chakra disruptors in his back at Naruto.
"Damn," Naruto said flatly drawing his sword and slashing it out of the air. "Have it your way then."
Chakra chains shot out of the back of his right shoulder, where they always did, then shot at Nagato.
"Once and again," Nagato growled holding his hands out in front of himself. "Almighty Push!"
A dark green sphere of chakra formed around Nagato but the chakra chains smashed through instantly, the spear heads on the tips driving themselves through Nagato's stomach, lifting him into the air for a moment before setting him on his feet, Nagato staring down at the chains in shocked disbelief.
"You held back before," Nagato realized.
"I still am," Naruto winced before he held a fist out. "Goodbye Nagato."
He spread his fingers, opening his hand, and the chains all jerked away from each other, ripping Nagato into several pieces. Naruto lowered his hand, the Chakra Chains retracting, then looked back at Kurenai and sighed.
"Let's head back," Naruto sighed. "There's more I need to know."
Kurenai nodded and they headed back to the field in silence.
"Is Danzo still the Hokage?" Naruto asked.
"Yes," Kurenai nodded.
"Is there an alliance between the villages?" Naruto asked.
"No," Kurenai said shaking her head. "Out of those left, all want us dead."
"Who's left of Sasuke and Neji's year in the academy?" Naruto asked.
"Ino, Shino, Kiba...what?" she asked when Naruto flinched then tensed to the point of forming fists. "Oh, right. Anyway, obviously Hinata's still alive. That's about it."
"What about Sai and Yamato?" Naruto asked.
"Who?" Kurenai asked.
"Never mind," Naruto sighed. "What about the Box of Paradise?"
"We arrived in time for Lord Danzo to seal the box while Rai Hyuga fought Satori," Kurenai stated. "He's a hero, here. Anyway, there were never any reincarnated shinobi or pseudo Jinchuriki, however, Madara did declare war on the Hidden Leaf. He attacked us directly, and destroyed most of the village, killing countless. Ino and Kiba being among the number. He killed Guy, obliterated the ANBU, and wiped out the academy and its teachers and students. Finally Kakashi managed to figure out that his Sharingan was somehow able to allow him to harm Madara. After a long battle, Kakashi was finally killed by Madara after severely wounding him. Madara moved on to kill Danzo anyway, and nearly succeeded. However, Rai intervened and managed to kill Madara instead using a sneak attack."
"Kakashi was able to harm Madara because it wasn't Madara, it was Obito Uchiha, the person who gave Kakashi the Sharingan in the first place," Naruto stated.
"That explains a bit," Kurenai nodded. "Anyway, over the next two years, our village rebuilt again, this time using steal rather than wood, and Rai was among the most helpful. Hiashi eventually arranged an engagement between Hinata and Rai and you showed up a week later, just in time to interrupt the marriage."
"Thank God," Naruto snorted. "Okay. If that's true, the only person for me to go after now is Rai. I'm sorry Kurenai, but I'm going to kill Rai as soon as I get home. I'm sorry, but I can't let you get in the way of that. This world isn't real, at least not to me. I can't let it be. I will return home. If not...I'll die."
"Wait, what?" Kurenai asked.
"I have one day here," Naruto stated. "Then, the seal will kill me, finishing erasing me from history."
"That's...oh," Kurenai nodded. "Alright. I can't let you kill Rai. But I can get you the chance to talk to him. In private."
"Thank you," Naruto smiled. "Oh, and have a medical ninja waiting. I intend to ask him some very...deep, questions."
"I understand," Kurenai nodded. "I'll have one ready. And Naruto, good luck."
"Thank you," Naruto nodded before Kurenai turned and left.
