It was half an hour later when Kushina who was sitting by the Whirlpool noticed something. At first it was minor but slowly building up the Whirlpool was STOPPING.

After the water completely stopped blond hair could be seen coming out of the top of the water slowly followed by Naruto head and then his body as he walked out of the water with a huge 3 foot long and 2 foot thick scroll in his hands.

Once he stepped out of the water onto the shore he fell down on his ass and said "Damn, this had better been worth it."

Kushina said "Are you alright son."

Naruto said "Besides the fact I saw countless memories from Kyuubi and saw the day I was concieved from both yours and dads view, yeah, I'm pretty good." in a sarcastic yet amused tone.

Kushina blushed and Naruto said "By the way, I'm killing Dustin for what he did to you."

Kushina said "I already got my revenge so you can't do anything to him."

Naruto frowned and said "I can still prank his ass...anyways come on, I'll meet you outside with the others."

Kushina said "But what about the scroll."

Naruto said "Just trust me." as he stood up and walked to his exit.

A few moments later in the real world Naruto yawned before he opened his eyes and held both hands flat out in front of him and his hands began to glow as chakra began to take shape and took the shape of a scroll before it became solid shocking everyone.

Kushina said "How did you do that."

Naruto said "Don't worry about it. Lets see what was so important." and thought "Or see the looks on everyones faces when they hear what I suspect after I saw some of Kyuubi's memories." as he opened the scroll and the scroll began to smoke before a puff of smoke and another Naruto who looked to be in his 60's stood there but he was wearing a white robe and black tinted glasses.

Old Naruto or ONaru said "Hello...Hmm...so it looks like this is just outside of Wave since I see Tazuna and the others...I guess my wife was right."

Kushina said "Naruto...is that you."

ONaru said "Hello mother. It's good to see you after all these years. How are you." as a look of sadness briefly crossed his face.

Kushina said "I'm well...but...why are you here. I mean..."

ONaru said "I...I wish I could tell you mother. I wish I could tell all of you...but what I have to say can only be heard by Naruto and Tenten. It is for them alone. I know you all don't like this but it's something personal. It's how to cure him of dying an early death. It's a secret though...please accept my answer."

Kakashi said "Very well. Will this take long."

ONaru said "About 15 minutes at most. If you would both follow me." as he began to walk away.

After going about a mile away with both Naruto and Tenten following him ONaru said "If you would both sit down and listen. I don't have much time and I have a lot to say. A lot of it will make you confused at first but hold all questions until the end."

Both nod and ONaru said "I partially lied back there. While I do know the cure to heal you and will tell you, it wasn't the actual reason my wife and I went through all the trouble we did to do this...As hard as this is to believe, you need to know the truth about what's going on. You see, while I am in fact an older you...I have lived by another name for many years...That name is the Six Realm Sage." causing both Tenten and Naruto's eyes to widen.

ONaru saw Naruto was about to speak and said "NO QUESTIONS...Now I know your asking how is that possible...well it's possible because of my enemy...the enemy who was responsible for the Kyuubi attack, responsible for the Uchiha Massacre, responsible for the attack on Whirlpool, responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of people, and so many more horrible things."

Tenten said "Who."

ONaru said "I can't tell you...I won't tell you. There is a chance to stop it from happening but the only way it can happen is if you don't know who he is until you stop the genjutsu's. You see, as crazy as this sounds, there is a genjutsu that has been placed on the moon. This genjutsu was created with the sole purpose of killing me. All those deaths, the Kyuubi attack, the Uchiha Massacre, all 3 great Shinobi wars, the destruction of Whirlpool...all of these things were done by this genjutsu. All to destroy me before I have to confront the man responsible for casting the genjutsu."

Naruto asked "But how is that possible."

ONaru said "There is a secret in the Uchiha clan that almost nobody knows about. There are in fact 2 types of Sharingans. The Sharigan of the Hand and the Sharingan of the Mind. Most Uchiha have the Sharingan of the Hand...but every once in a while an Uchiha is born with the Sharingan of the Mind. Those Uchiha who are born with that one are called Uchiwa's instead of Uchiha's because they have the power to bend or destroy a person Will with a simple glance from thier eyes. They can make you do anything you want with thier eyes. Even kill youself...but there is another secret that is even more feared in the Uchiha clan. An Uchiha can feel guilt over killing thier best friend and the guilt gives them what is known as the Magnekyou Sharingan...It is incredibly powerful but comes at a price. The more it is used, the more the person who has it goes blind. The only way to save thier eyesight is to not use it or to take the eyes from another Uchiha, usually a sibling...By doing this the Uchiha gets an even more powerful Sharingan and doesn't have to worry about going blind...but you see..if an Uchiha or an Uchiwa took the eye from someone who had the other eye they would gain extreme powers...An Uchiha gaining the Sharingan of an Uchiwa gains the power to alter reality around them limitedly to where they could become as fake as a simple bunshin as an attack passes through them but then become solid a moment later. They also gain some ability to control people with genjutsu. Madara Uchiha falls into this catagory."

Both teens eyes widen and ONaru said "But an Uchiwa who gains the eyes of an Uchiha power with genjutsu becomes nearly absolute where they can alter reality on a huge scale to where genjutsu becomes reality...my enemy, the one who is behind all of this falls into that catagory. The only limit he has is the amount of chakra he has at his disposal. What I am here to do is to warn you about this man and about what I call the keys. Certian people who are deciding factors in the events of the world that is created by the Sharingan. These people are people that my enemy knows stand a chance in either weakening me or destroying me. The attack on the village of Whirlpool was an attempt to kill mom so I would never be born. The first 2 shinobi wars were used to try and kill dad by killing his parents since my enemy doesn't know who his parents are."

Tenten said "Are...as in still alive."

ONaru said "Yes...dad is in fact the son of Tsunade Senju...and Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage."

Naruto breath froze in his throat as he heard this and ONaru said "That is how the son I had was able to possess the Mokuton bloodline."

Naruto said "How...how is jiji..."

Onaru said "Tsunade little brother had died on a mission when she was just a little older then you both are. Since he was the last family she had left in the world at the time his death hurt her greatly...she tried to drink her pain away. Now her teammate Orochimaru thought that she should just get over it and go on with her life. Jiraiya though tried to comfort her...but he got drunk and made a pass at her and she nearly killed him. Hurt him enough to put him in the hospital...She was arrested and Jiji came and got her out of jail and took her back to his place to try and help comfort her...somehow one thing led to another and boom, dad was concieved. All I know really for sure is that Tsunade didn't know she was pregnant. War was going on she went into labor in her 7th month...By the time I found this out Jiji was dead so I can't be sure what happened. Tsunade was told the baby lunges was not mature enough and passed away. All I can tell you is that he did what he thought was best for everyone."

Naruto said "But."

ONaru said "War was going on, if Tsunade wouldn't have become a Sannin by becoming a mother then Konoha would have fallen and dad would have died and we wouldn't have been born. She was to young to become a mother and jiji couldn't have taken care of a baby while trying to lead and army to save the village. If he could I'm sure he would have taken us in instead of what happened. There are hundreds of thousands what if and could have and should haves as well as what if's. Think about Hiashi, Hinata father. I bet there are days that he wishes he could go back in time and shove his brother out of his mom's twat first instead of him coming out first."

Both teens blushed at the thought of that and ONaru smirked and said "All we can do is do our best, and live with the results...and right now it is time for both of you to do just that. A key is preparing to kill you and destroy Konoha. If you kill him first or stop him then everything that was effected by the genjutsu on him will be reversed and everyone and everything that was effected by it will cease to exist as a new reality will be formed. In order to get to the REAL reality you must destroy all the keys before they destroy you and Konoha. Normally if I tell you who the first key is and you stop him when reality resets itself you would lose all your memories and knowledge...but the Whirlpool lighthouse seal was designed by me. It protects both of your minds so when reality resets, your bodies will reset but you both will still remember what has happened as well as my warning...unfortinately when reality resets some things will change in ways you could never have comprehended...Kyuubi will be returned to the seal inside of you...and mom and dad will stop existing as you know them."

Naruto screamed "WHAT."

Onaru said "SHUT UP...I know you don't want to hear this but this reality around you isn't real...you and Tenten were not really engaged to each other. Mom didn't give her cherry to Dustin. She didn't escape Whirlpool with Evee and Dustin...she came to Konoha when she was 9 years old. The Uzumaki do have a bloodline but we are not the source of all bloodlines in the world. Our bloodline is stronger chakra because you are the father of the Uzumaki clan and you are the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi. The genjutsu of us being the source of all bloodlines was part of the illusion on Madara to get him to destroy Whirlpool in hopes of destroying mom. This is only a part of what is wrong with the world. The only reason mom and dad are back is because of the genjutsu on the Tsuchikage in order for him to hate you because dad killed his son during the war. My enemy would do anything to stop me and that is to turn everyone against me and hate me. Our bloodline, Kyuubi, our parents...even Tenten."

Tenten frowned and Naruto glared at ONaru who said "Look, I hate doing this to you but if you don't stop the first key then Konoha will be destroyed and my enemy will destroy the world. All our friends, family, and loved ones are counting on us...If you are who I remember being then you vowed to protect those precious to you, even at the cost of your life. You would do anything for them...well that is exactly what is required. To save everyone you can, you have to give up everything...damn it, I'm almost out of time, listen and listen closely."

As he took a deep breath and said "As long as you have the Whirlpool lighthouse seal on you will be able to remember everything to help you get stronger to protect your precious people. This is a game, 3 steps forward 2 step back. In a few days the Tsuchikage himself will appear here in Wave to set up an underground base to house his troops who will sweep in and destroy Konoha. In order to save Konoha you either have to kill the Tsuchikage or stop him from being able to set up his base here. He is the first key. Do that and reality will reset. The other keys are Orochimaru, A man who calls himself Pein who possesses the legendary Rinnegan, Kisame Hoshigaki, Madara and all the Bijuu he has with him, and finally my enemy, the real man behind everything. To save your life from the effects of regeneration you will have to get the blood of a Hydra and drink it. A Hydra regenerates also from it's wounds but it has special antibodies that keep it from dying quicker. Those antibodies are in it's blood. You know where it is but you can't get to it until an enemy tries to get it. You will have to get it then or die at a young age. Tenten, your choice is this, you can either help him as his wife, living through all the Journey coming or you can remove the seal from your neck and forget all about him when reality resets again. The choice is yours. Good luck both of you." as he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Tenten glared at the spot ONaru had been as did Naruto who frowned as he looked down and Tenten said "Um..."

Naruto put his hands over his eyes and said "I knew it...I knew it couldn't be real."

Tenten frowned and said "If what he said is true then there is no way you could have known about the genjutsu."

Naruto looked up at her and Tenten eyes widen as she saw tears and Naruto said "Not that. I knew nobody could actually love me. The only reason your here is because of some fucking genjutsu."

SLAP

Naruto was knocked back on the ground several feet away by Tenten who was PISSED and had her hands on her hips and was giving Naruto what he would soon learn was called...'THE LOOK'. Tenten said "Don't you DARE say that my feelings for you is some kind of trick or joke. I meant EVERY SINGLE WORD I said to you yesterday. Every word was spoken from my heart and I don't care if we weren't together because of some arrangement. It actually makes me love you that much more. You are my husband. I am your wife. Never doubt my feelings for you. I don't care if I have to fight every demon in hell, every angel in heaven, every ninja in the world as well as the Shinigami. I am going to be by your side giving you my love ALWAYS. Now stop acting like the poster boy for EMO weekly or I will put a kunai where the Sun doesn't shine."

Naruto moved his jaw back and forward and said "You slap me."

Tenten said "You damn right I did."

Naruto said "I can't believe you slapped me."

Tenten said in a sickining sweet voice "And...I can do it again if you don't snap out of it."

Naruto looked at her eyes for several moments and Tenten said "WHAT." finally having enough.

Naruto smiled and said "I just remember why I fell in love with you...I'm sorry I doubted you for a moment. I..I just..."

Tenten pulled him into a hug and rested her head on his shoulder and said "I know...I questioned it myself for a moment...but then I remembered every moment we have been together and I realized I was being an idiot. It's not a genjutsu that made me fall in love with you. It's who you are...here." as he put her hand above his heart.

Naruto let a tear fall and said "You don't know how much that means to me."

Tenten said "I do...because you mean that much to me." as she moved back.

Naruto bit his lip and said "What do we do."

Tenten frowned and said "What do you think. I don't do things half heartedly. We sent this message for us and set this up. I guess the only thing we can do is face these challenges."

Naruto said "But...what about Kyuubi. Aren't you scared of him."

Tenten said "The fox is the fox, your you. I maybe scared of him a little though it's kind of hard to be scared of him when you seen him as a chibi, but either way, I'm not scared of you." as she turned and started to walk back to camp.

Naruto shook his head and thought "I will never understand you completely."

Tenten smirked and thought "But are you feelings for me real."

Then a flashback of the words her future self said appeared in her mind and thought "I guess we both have moments Naruto...I believe in you."

When they made it back to camp Kushina said "So what did he say...where is he."

Naruto said "Gone. He only had enough chakra for a short message."

Kakashi said "So what all did he say."

Naruto said "Not much, just the location and what the cure is to make it where I won't die young."

Tenten said "He also told us one other thing...I think it would be a good time to summon Hokage-sama here."

Naruto said "Tenten, what are you doing."

Tenten leaned over and whispered in his ear "If what he said is true, do you want to have the last days you can see your parents being remembered where you couldn't trust your mom and you dad thinking you hate him."

Naruto bit his lip and after a few seconds said "Alright, I guess your right. I mean we maybe good and could do it ourselves but it won't hurt to have someone a lot stronger to help deal with this."

Hebi asked "Deal with what."

Tenten said "The Tsuchikage himself will be arriving in a few days to set up an underground base in Wave. It's going to be a staging area to launch Iwa nins into the Fire country. The other Naruto told us that if we could stop him then it would force Iwa to come in across land. He also told us if we could him somehow then it would force Iwa to completely drop the idea of attacking the land of Fire."

Dragon said "And you weren't going to inform us about this Naruto." in a bitter tone.

Naruto said "I was going to inform you all after we got to Wave because right now our mission is to protect the bridge builder. To do that we first have to learn as much as we can about what is going on there. If I told you all now, I was afraid that everyone would focus on gathering information to counter the Tsuchikage and then we would fail to complete our mission of protecting the old man or gathering info about OTHER threats."

Kushina said "Well your actions might have been justified son but we need to know about this. I think having Minato and the other ANBU will be a good idea." as she took out a tri-pronged kunai and sent chakra into it before throwing it.

A few seconds later a yellow flash appeared and Minato appeared in the clearing quickly getting into a fighting stance looking for a threat and sweatdropped a moment and said "Um...what's going on."

Naruto sighed and explained what had been going on.

When he was done Minato said "So let me see if I got this straight, you both eloped, met clones of your future selves, met your uncle, learned how to save your life which you won't tell us about, learned Orochimaru has or will kill the Kazekage and learned that the Tsuchikage is about to set up a base here to launch surprise attack on Konoha after Orochimaru attack."

Naruto said "Yeah, that's it pretty much in a nutshell."

Minato was quite for several minutes and said "Neko, Hebi Gai. I am ordering you 3 to take the gennins and escort them along with Zabuza and Haku back to Konoha first thing in the morning. The rest of you also rest. I'll summon the other ANBU when we get to Wave and we will prepare a defense there to end this."

Naruto said "But..."

Minato said "No son. Your strong, but you don't have experience. I know Hebi had you kill a prisoner so you won't freeze up but the others might. I am not going to take you all into combat so you can all die. Also we might be able to end this without anyone dying. As Hokage I am ordering you to follow my orders."

Naruto frowned and remember Tenten words earlier and said "Dad." in a soft voice catching everyone's attention.

Naruto bit his lip and said "I...I don't hate you...I am angry and hurt...but I don't hate you...I...I wanted to make you hurt...hurt you for all the pain I felt...but I was wrong...I...I'm proud to be your son...and yours also mom...and I trust you also mom...I...I just wanted to be selfish for once...to have something that was mine...that wasn't given to me because of my parents."

Kushina smiled and said "It's alright son...I just wanted to meddle in your life like an over protective mother...to make up for...you know."

Naruto smiled softly and he walked over and hugged his mom and then walked over and hugged his dad and said "I love you." in a whisper.

Minato smiled and Naruto stepped back and looked at both his parents and thought "I'll destroy whoever you are for taking this from me."

Across from him Tenten was silently making a similar vow to herself.

The next morning the gennins from Konoha would leave heading hom but several birds watched over the ninja of Konoha who marched into Wave. They watched as Wave was liberated and then 2 days later watched as several ships exploded and began to sink into the sea with the ninja of Konoha sending attacks at the Iwa nins who were at a disadvantage being surrounded by water where they couldn't use most of thier jutsu.

The battle between the Tsuchikage and Minato was short lived as he went to fight Minato his anger over the surprise attack on the ships as well as seeing Minato was enough to cause his blood pressure to climb till he had a heart attack...and so the Sandaime Tsuchikage, died, not in a glorious battle, but drowning trying to get his heart to work correctly as he sank under the water.

As this happened the birds dispelled thier chakra before the world began to shift and distort.

For Naruto. Him and Tenten both held onto each other at the cabin his clones had repaired as reality shifted and was destroyed as the first key was destroyed and so the next morning both teens woke up in a new realm...the day of the gennin exam.
