"You can't be serious!" exclaimed Yamato.

"I am serious, dad was a specialist in space-time ninjutsu afterall." replied Naruto.

"Give it to me, let me read it." said Gaara.

Before Naruto could say anything Shikamaru handed the scroll to Gaara. But before Gaara could try and read, it closed shut. Everyone except Naruto and Hinata stared at the scroll with stunned silence.

"Don't worry, it happened to hime too. Just swipe some of your blood and then you can read it. I don't know how, but that is the way it works. When I swiped some of my blood first, only I could read it. When hime tried to read it, she accidentally touched it and the scroll closed shut on her too. I tried to open it by swiping blood again but it would not open so hime swiped some of her blood and guess what, it opened and we both could read it." explained Naruto.

As they listened to Naruto, few decided to swipe some blood while others decided against it. Hence, Sasuke, Yamato, Sakura, Kakashi, Tsunade, Sai and Orochimaru came forward where Gaara was standing.

First Gaara swiped some blood and then others did it one after the other.

then they all came together to read the contents of the scroll.

TIME REVERSAL JUTSU.

Dear Naruto,

If you are reading this then it means that I was right and the kyūbi is released from your mother's seal and both me and your mother is dead sealing the kyūbi inside of you. Now I know you must hate me for what I did and I'm sorry. Anyway if you are reading this then it means that you are a chūnin now, learned about your Heritage, decided to go have a look and found this scroll while cleaning my old experimental shack. Well I know he must have told you, but we had to hide your identity from my enemies. I hope you understand.

Anyway, I completed this jutsu just a day before your birthday, so I never had a chance to test it. Also, I created it such that I could atleast save few Uzumaki members before the village is destroyed. Now you must be wondering why not the whole village?

It's just that you cannot change the past too drastically or risk creating an alternate dimension altogether, and hence your future knowledge becomes unnecessary. Like if I were to take all the Uzumaki somewhere else, the enemy will follow us and history will repeat itself just in a different setting.

So be careful. Also, it doesn't require much chakra. This sealing formula absorbs natural chakra and activates the jutsu.

Just do the hand signs, ' Dragon, Ram, Hare, Boar, Horse, Dragon, Tiger, Bird, Dragon and Ram. ' and place your hands on empty circles on both ends of the sealing formula and channel tiniest amount of chakra to activate it.

Good luck.

Oh I almost forgot, only your spirit and knowledge goes back not your body, hence, you cannot go further back than your birth. And you need to train your body.

There is much more to this jutsu than I know.

Love Dad.

Fourth Hokage.

Minato Namekaze.

"So what should we do?" asked Naruto

"I say we take it." replied Sasuke.

"Don't be foolish Sasuke, we have achieved all we wanted to achieve. We cannot afford to destroy it all just so we could save a few people. We have to destroy the scroll, we cannot afford to have a lunatic get his hands on this." Shikamaru retorted back.

"Alright, let's vote, here are the rules, only me and Gaara can lift both our hands, one for ourselves and the other for the beasts. Got it?" declared Naruto.

He got several approvals.

"Those who want to go back?" asked Naruto.

Only Sasuke, Orochimaru, Kakashi, Sakura, Gaara declaring it's Shukaku and Tsunade raised their hands. Naruto noted their names.

"Those who are against it?" asked Naruto again.

This time Naruto, Hinata, Gaara declaring it's him, Naruto declaring it's Kurama, Shikamaru, Temari, Matsuri, Kankuro, Yamato, Ino, Sai, Shizune and Ton-ton raised their hands.

"Naruto, what about Jiraiya? we can-" tried to say Tsunade, but was inturrpted by Naruto raising his hand to stop her.

"You think I don't want him back? But I know him better than you. He was Jiraiya the galliant toad sage. He wouldn't want you to destroy everything he ever dreamt of just to save him." scowled Naruto.

"Anyway, end of discussion, the scroll will be burned. Sasuke, can I trust you to take care of that? " asked Naruto to Sasuke.

The Uchiha replied with a simple nod of his head, as he took the scroll and threw it in the air while spraying fireball at it, incinerating it instantly.But unbeknownst to all but Orochimaru he changed the scroll with an empty one using his power's of the rinnegan.

After that everyone went back to their own devices leaving Naruto and Hinata alone.

Once everyone left, Naruto went over to the couch and sat down with a blank face. Hinata gently sat by his side knowing full well how much he wanted to go back to save all those who were precious to him. But at the same time cannot afford the peace that he worked so hard to achieve get destroyed.

As soon as she sat down, Naruto hugged her and buried his face between her breasts and silently sobbed, while Hinata gently patted his back soothingly. Now, this may seem pervertedto some of you, but the couple didn't have a single shred of perverted thought at the moment. That's not to say that they don't love each other any longer, otherwise their children wouldn't have born.

After a few minutes, Naruto composed himself enough to detach himself from Hinata and sat up straight.

"... I really want to save not only Jiraiya-sensei but Neji, Zabuza, Haku, old man Hokage and many more. I really do. But they wouldn't want me to let their sacrifice go to waste by destroying the heaven we created." cried a hysterical Naruto in desperate need to convince himself that he did the right thing.

"I know you Naruto-kun, I know." replied Hinata, pushing Naruto on her lap. They stayed like that for some time.

*end line*

Meanwhile...

Tsunade, Shizune, Ton-ton and Kakashi were standing outside the office, listening the talk between Naruto and Hinata with a slightly ajar door. They, or atleast Tsunade, Shizune and Ton-ton were as Kakashi had already seen it in the past, were surprised as they never saw Naruto of all people cry, ever.

"To think the one that wanted to go back the most is the one to think rationally..." commented Tsunade softly.

"Poor boy. He has suffered a lot, he should have used the scroll." replied Shizune sadly.

"He is strong. He'll pull through. He has to. He needs to be strong, for his friends. For all of us. But for now, leave him with Hinata." consoled Kakashi to his wife.

"How can you say that Kashi-kun? He has suffered just as much as Tsunade-sama." retorted Shizune hotly.

"Shizune, Kakashi is right. We may love him like our own, but right now if he sees our face's he'll remember the ones he lost and his resolve will crumble making him more miserable than he is right now." reasoned Tsunade.

"But Tsunade-sama..." trailed off Shizune.

"It's alright dear, everything will be alright." soothed Kakashi.

"Now come on you two, let's get out of here and have some drinks." Tsunade ordered.

"Hai Tsunade-sama!" replied both Shizune and Kakashi.

"Oink-Oink!" replied an angry Ton-ton.

"Yes, yes you too Ton-ton. Now let's go already." replied Tsunade.

And with that the thr ... er ... four of them descended the Hokage tower and started their hike towards a local bar.

*end line*

earlier, when everyone was leaving.

Shikamaru, Temari, Gaara, Matsuri and Kankuro were the first one's to leave the office.

"Are you sure you don't want to go back Gaara? You could change a lot of things." asked a curious Temari to her brother.

"While Shukaku want's to go back to change all he could, I on the other hand don't think it's a great idea. Because, even if I do go back I won't be able to save mother and frankly I could care less about father. No you, Matsuri and Kankuro along with Shikadai and him are my real family. So, why would I change that." replied Gaara while pointing at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru mumbled an annoyed 'troublesome'.

"While I agree with you on the family part, Gaara, you could change the invasion, make people realise who you are early and many more things." questioned Kankuro.

"I would advise against it, as you came to Konoha because of the invasion, hence, mine and Temari's fight, gaining respect for each other and finally falling in love with each other." replied Shikamaru.

At this, Kankuro, Gaara and Matsuri deadpanned at Shikamaru while Temari was blushing different shades of red.

They continued to bicker back and forth while continuing on their way to the Nara clan compound.

*end line*

At the same time as everyone.

Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Uchiha were the third to last to leave the office. Sasuke had an unreadable expression as he walked, besides him, his wife looked at him in worry.

"It's alright Sasuke-kun, I know you could have saved your family with that jutsu but, it can't be helped now, you did burn the scroll." Sakura tried to console her husband.

"I understand Naruto's reason Sakura. But that doesn't mean I'm not sad. I had a chance to save my mother and brother. But nothing can be helped now." replied Sasuke.

"We have a family here, Sasuke-kun. We have a peaceful life, your brother would have told you the same thing as Naruto." Sakura tried to make Sasuke understand Naruto's reason.

"You wanted to go back too. Why?" Sasuke asked out of the blue.

"Isn't it easy, because you wanted to go back. I'll support you to the end of time. Why?" replied Sakura.

Just when Sasuke was going to answer to continue their talk, they were inturrpted by someone calling out to them from behind. When they turned to see who called their names, they were greeted by Orochimaru.

"Hello, Sasuke-kun, Sakura-chan, how are you doing?" greeted Orochimaru.

"Hello Orochimaru, what do you want?" Sasuke greeted back.

"I just wanted to discuss a few things to you in private. Can I?" requested Orochimaru.

"With a nod Sasuke turned to Sakura and muttered a silent apology and said, "I'll be back soon." and with that started following Orochimaru.

Sakura stood watching his back ttill they disappeared in a corner. With a sigh of disappointment, she turned around and started walking back to the Uchiha compound while thinking to herself about the suspicious behaviour of both her husband and Orochimaru.

Very soon, she can see the gate of the Uchiha compound as she approached it. She can also see a very beautiful woman in a red battle kimono, black hair and wearing glasses over her black eyes. As she approached the gate, she was assaulted by a barrage of questions by the woman, "Mom, what was the meeting about?", "Why isn't Dad with you?", "Why was aunt Hinata was told to inform you and not an A.N.B.U.?" being few.

"Woah woah woah! give me a minute here. Now, the meeting was confidential, hence, the reason why I cannot tell you as you are still a chūnin. As for Dad, he has work to do. And it wasn't a village crisis, hence why Hinata came." answered Sakura.

"Now come on honey, I'll make your favourite buns." Sakura said over her shoulder as she walked inside.

"OK mom!" replied a confused Sarada as she followed her mother.

*end line*

meanwhile,

Sasuke followed Orochimaru silently neither of them willing to talk first. A comfortable silence permeating the air. Eventually it was Orochimaru who broke the silence.

"So, Sasuke-kun, when are you planning on using the scroll?" asked Orochimaru in a jovial tone.

If Sasuke was surprised to know that someone saw him exchange the scroll, he didn't show it. His face was blank, but if you looked closely, you'll see his eyes became hard and guarded.

As if almost sensing his reaction, Orochimaru quickly answered the unasked question, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. And I'm a Sannin and the one who trained you, did you really think I wouldn't notice?"

After calming down a little, Sasuke thought about Orochimaru's actions and came to the conclusion that he wanted something in return. Hence the question, " What do you want?" was asked by Sasuke.

"Take me with you." came Orochimaru's simple reply.

It would be a great understatement to say that Sasuke wasn't surprised at all. And in this gobsmacked situation he blurted the first thing that came to his mind, and that was.

"Why do you want to go back? to finish what you started and destroy the world!?" yelled Sasuke none too gently.

"Even after Sasuke accused him, he stood quietly, as he knew that with what he had done in the past, everyone will doubt him.

When Sasuke was starting to think that maybe he was right, "Use your sharingan to see if I'm lying or not." commanded Orochimaru. At that, Sasuke snapped his head towards Orochimaru so quickly that Orochimaru thought he'd have broken his neck.

After a few moments, Sasuke closed his eyes, when he opened them, they were not black, but his right eye was red with three toemoe surrounding a black pupil, while the left one was a purple eye that stretched through the whole eye with a black pupil surrounded by three concentric rings with three toemoe through each rings.

"Alright, start explaining." Sasuke demanded out of Orochimaru.

"The answer is simple, Sasuke-kun, I want to correct my past mistakes. Betraying Konoha, Death of Kazekage, the invasion, trying to capture the Sanbi and many more. I don't know how I'll do it, I just know that I want to do it. I have changed Sasuke-kun, I'm not the same lunatic that I was. Just give me a chance." ranted Orochimaru.

Sasuke, not seeing any ill-intent, conceded to Orochimaru's request.

"So, when do you suggest we start?" Orochimaru queried.

"Tonight, I'll send a shadow clone to home, so no one will doubt me. We will meet at your Southwest lab. At exactly midnight, till then don't let anyone get suspicious of you." Sasuke answered.

"Alright, understood Sasuke-kun. Don't worry, everything will go smoothly." replied a gratified Orochimaru before turning and running away.

Seeing this, Sasuke also turned and walked back to Uchiha compound.

*end line*

Later that night,

After eating dinner, Sasuke left the table saying that he'll go to the bathroom first and then the bedroom. As soon as he locked the door behind him he made a half Ram sign with his only hand and whispered, "Shadow Clone Jutsu".

With a puff of smoke, a perfect replica of Sasuke was standing in front of him. "Go." Sasuke simply ordered it. With a "Yes Boss!" the clone opened the door and got out of the room. Sasuke quickly removed the cap of the flusher of the toilet and took out a plastic bag. Inside of the bag, was a scroll that he took out, stuffed the now empty bag inside the dustbin, opened the window and ran towards the meeting spot.

He arrived at the meeting spot a few minutes before the deadline. As he looked around, he noticed that the door to the lab was open, meaning Orochimaru was already here. He soon made his way inside. And sure enough Orochimaru was there sitting in a chair reading a little Orange book with pink cheeks. As soon as Orochimaru saw Sasuke, he hid the book inside of a drawer and stood up straight.

Sasuke didn't pay it any mind and walked over to a table laid in the centre of the room by Orochimaru and opened the scroll to reveal the sealing formula.

After going through the hand signs described in the scroll, he placed his right hand on the scroll while Orochimaru, doing the same hand signs at the same time placed his left hand on the scroll while his right hand on Sasuke's shoulder and both passed a little bit of chakra in each of their connected palm's, activating the jutsu.

As soon as the jutsu activated, it glowed red, then over the time gradually changed its colour to green.

As soon as it turned bright green, it started to glow, blinding both of them. After a few minutes everything was blank.
