The jutsu was a success. What Naruto did not expect was that he didn't just time travel to his birth. It was a very unexpected surprise since he tried to time travel to when he was 11: One year before graduation to hone his skills and return to his previous strengths. What would be needed in this new timeline is that Naruto would need a mind-bending amount of chakra control exercises. From the amount of chakra Naruto has, he estimated he would need 6 years and 3 hours a day of pure chakra control from the age of 5 just to have the chakra control to use his new dojutsu abilities to their fullest extent. However, it would only take a year for Naruto to go back to his previous chakra. But he guessed that with shadow clone training, he would be able to complete all his chakra control exercises in 4 months with the shadow clone technique and take a month to go back to his previous chakra control level.
These were the intricate plans that Naruto made. These plans would help save the people he could not save before and would allow him to become strong enough to protect anyone. It was what was needed, and considering this would be a brand new timeline, he did not know what was in store for him.
—- Flashback —-
He needed to plan out what to do next, and the only being he could talk to was Kurogami.
"What do I do from now on?" We need a certain plan, as I wouldn't want to even think about this new timeline having the same fate as ours," Naruto said solemnly.
"Naruto, you have potential. With adequate training, you would be able to rival Otsutsuki-level threats. There is no doubt about that. The only thing you would need to do is learn how to control the potent chakra of Hikariton, as it is way more powerful than the 9 tails chakra mode and the 11 tails chakra mode when used to its full extent, but when used, you receive cellular damage due to the chakra. This is mitigated by the chakra healing factor; however, too much can cause serious effects on your body if it is not used too much. By slowly training to use the chakra, your body will become stronger and more able to adapt to the cellular damage, and your body will become better at healing itself. By training, you would be able to become strong enough to defeat your adversaries. I believe in you."
Naruto gleaned from that but then maintained a neutral expression.
"So from what I hear from you, my strength should be good in this timeline. I will first have to work up to my strength now. But I would like to make reforms to this new timeline. I have been thinking of a new system for the shinobi villages and fixes to the shinobi academy and the laws of the village. It would take time, but I would be able to introduce such reforms slowly. This can ensure there is minimal corruption for Zetsu to abuse, and it can ensure the Shinobi nation is stronger for the ongoing attack.
"I believe you will be able to change Naruto. However, remember that whatever you change in this timeline can cause things to change a lot, for the better or for the worse.
"I understand Kurogami. I would try to make these reforms slow and discrete. However, we would not know what this new timeline would have in store for us, so we need to be flexible. I have another question for you, Kurogami."
"Yes Naruto?"
"How will I be able to train with Gigi's all-seeing crystal ball? I would be caught in an instance, especially if I was using my powerful chakra. I would be a massive chakra target, similar to you, Bijjus." Naruto frowned. The amount of training Naruto would have to do and the power he has to leak will certainly make people suspicious of him.
"Your dojutsu, the Kinsharingan, has the ability to use all mongequo techniques. One of these techniques is kamui, which you have seen Kakashi and Obito use. Once you get sufficient chakra control and are able to cast the jutsu, you will have a pocket dimension where you can train to your heart's content."
"Ok Kurogami I can't thank you enough." Naruto went running to the massive wolf and engulfed him in a hug.
"Just remember to say safe." Once we have travelled back in time, contact me so we can better plan and adapt to our new timeline."
"Ok Kurogami. Kurogami, I was just wondering, "How do you know so much of my abilities and things about the world when you were made as a byproduct of my chakras?"
"Your chakras also contain the memories of the chakra source. I am a combination of the memories and experiences of different beings, one being yourself, the bijjus, your sharingan chakra, and the Sage of the Six Path chakra Hagoromo gave you. I will show you the hand signs for your technique to travel back in time. Ok"
"Ok"
—- Flashback end —-
Naruto sat there, observing what was going on around him. From what Naruto can deduce, he was an infant. Naruto knows that this was the night of the Nine Tails attack.
"Minato, Kushina. Your children are healthy and are in good condition." The nurse examined the children and gave her thumbs up.
Children? What? Naruto was surprised. This was definitely a new change from the different timeline; he definitely did not remember having a sibling. Maybe he got knocked in the head when travelling to this new timeline.
"What are you going to name your children?" The nurse inquired.
"Naruto and Narumi!" Kushina exclaimed.
Naruto turned around to see that he did indeed have a twin sister in this timeline.
For Minato and Kushina, this was one of the most joyful times of their lives. Inner slashes could be heard through the clearing. Guards dropping like flies, and what appeared to be a masked man, desmating through everyone he sees. Minato looked up at the man and saw the masked man, Tomoe Sharingan, glistening through the darkness.
"I will take care of this," Minato exclaimed.
….
Minato was successful at defeating the masked man, but now he had other problems: a massive nine-tailed fox was causing havoc in the village. Screams of agony flooded the village. Villagers and shinobi alike dropped like flies. A sonic boom could be heard across the village, causing stalls and other items to fly around the village. This caused people to fly around like a hurricane. On what was once a peaceful day, death, decay, and destruction were eminent, filling the sky and corrupting it. It seemed like the sky had darkened.
Naruto knew this was the day 100 percent now. Just like the original timeline. Naruto watched his parents battle the nine-tailed fox. This caused his anger. Why is he some stupid infant, and why couldn't he help? He would try and help as much as possible because he did not want to be condemned to a life like his previous life, and he knew what would happen if he did not do something. Both he and Narumi would be living a shithole of a life, just like the previous one he had.
Naruto unlocked his dojutsu. The golden eye, the Kinsharingan A powerful aura emanated from the sky, which seemed to be more powerful than Kurama. But instead of being hated, it was like pure light. It counteracted Kurama's killing intent and relieved the villagers and shinobi alike. They now do not feel like death is imminent and were relaxed by a powerful, soothing chakra. They did not know what it was but were glad it was there.
"Naruto, do not try to use your eyes. You are just an infant, and using your Kinsharingan could cause you to die."
Naruto stopped channelling chakra into his eyes.
Minato felt the immense power of Naruto and was shocked. He would definitely be a powerful shinobi like no other, and Minato was sure about that. He wished to see his children grow up into fine shinobi, but he knew that could not be done.
Minato was faced with a dilemma. What can he do about the Nine Tails causing havoc on the village? He had only one solution he could possibly think of. That was to seal it for his children. He planned on splitting the yin and yang chakras of the Nine Tails between Naruto and Narumi, but when he felt Naruto's power, he knew that was not possible. Minato could feel the power within Naruto, a power that he believes is even stronger than the nine tails. If Minato were to put the yang side in Naruto, it could cause an overflow in power and potentially kill Naruto. He was only an infant, after all.
"Kushina. We must seal the Nine Tails chakra into Narumi."
"What are you crazy for?" Minato, why seal it in Narumi? You know what the life of a Jinjurki would be like."
"I know. But this was our only option. I was thinking of sharing the ying and yang chakras of the nine tails between our children. But from what I can see, it would be too much for Naruto since Naruto holds incredible power. We must seal it in Narumi."
Kushina was deeply saddened by this, but she knew that this was the only option that they had.
"I will hold down the nine tails while you complete the seal."
Minato used his two jutsu to seal the nine tails into Narumi. The Shiki Fjin and the Hakke no Fin, 8 trigram seals
The battle was over. A devastating blow to Konaha, and many lost their lives on that terrible night. But what was not known to everybody was that a plant-like figure, Zetsu, was watching the fight.
"This can't be good. I must tell my mother. His power is too strong. We must stop him before he grows into a powerful shinobi. He might be able to stop our plans. Zetsu rose to the ground in the blink of an eye.
Things would now be very complicated for Naruto. How would this turn out? We just need to wait and find out.
