A/N: I have retcon so many things in this chapter
The first was Naruto's name. I changed it into Nathaniel Russell or Naru for short, his age when Naruto is transported, and finally, the involvement of Naruto's father in the Russo-Ukrainian war because he would be too old when that happened, and Naruto's relationship with Rebbeca.
I did this so the writing can be more believable and consistent.
My first intention with this was to make it a one-shot, but I'd already written the plot in the back of my head so I decided to make it a full series.
Without further ado enjoy
3rd POV
A blond man opened the door of his house. Letting out a tired sigh, he looked at the mess that was in his apartment. Bombarded by the smell of what can be described as rotting ramen and sweaty clothing. 'I really need to clean this place in the future.'
He walked to his bed, dropping the present that was given to him by multiple girls that he didn't remember by name. Changed his clothes to wear pajamas removing him from the odor of sweat.
Jumping through the air, he landed on his bed with his face meeting the pillow. Turning his body he looked at the ceiling, fluttering his lips with air.
"Today is such a pain in the ass," Naruto put his hand on his forehead, laying on his bed, rubbing the headache, "Iruka-sensei is relentless today," Naruto complained to himself.
The ceiling fan can be heard as he remembered today's lesson with Iruka-sensei. "Naruto focus, you wouldn't become Hokage if you're not focused on what I'm explaining!" Iruka scolded Naruto inside one of the classrooms in the Academy.
" But it's so boring," Naruto said, laying his forehead on the table. Seeing Naruto's insolence, Iruka's veins popped up.
" Are you stupid!" A smack on the head landed on Naruto and he yelped in surprise. " You're 18; act like one! A hero of the war, if you become Hokage without any knowledge; you'll be a Ahokage!" Naruto can only sit still, holding his head in pain while listening to a barrage of scolding from Iruka. " Listen Naruto, this is the last few weeks we have before you take the Jonin test. So please, just for me can you focus?"
"I'll try Sensei.'
Remembering the scene made him chuckle, even when he's 18 years old, he still has to learn from Iruka-sensei.
Thinking about his lesson from his sensei made him remember all the things that have happened in the past 6 years. A story that has earned its place in history and legend. A story full of adventure, love, and vengeance, but most important of all is understanding.
These past 2 years can be explained with only one word, "PEACE." The war ended two years ago. Finally at peace with one another. All of this feels weird to Naruto yet not unwelcome.
Two years ago the world was in chaos; death and destruction, endless suffering, and revenge is the only thing that is sure to be in this world. Now peace, prosperity, and love are replacing it.
Three years ago he wouldn't dream of having the admiration and adoration of the world. But now every time he walks the streets of Konoha, he can see people smiling, giving respect to him, and acknowledging him.
"I finally did it, Ero-sennin, I finally did it." He said while remembering all the things he has accomplished and all of his failures: Defeating Gaara to the defeats of the Akatsuki, Neji's death, and his sensei Jiraiya of the legendary Sannin. Smiling melancholically one last time, he fell asleep soundlessly.
As he shut his eyes to rest. A being that is tangible yet formless, a being that is made of nothing and everything, a being that knows all of creation for they had watched for all of eternity. Rubbing gently on Naruto's cheeks it speaks with sorrow and regret. " I'm sorry, savior, but another world requires your assistance. May you forgive us for what we will do to you." When the being is about to touch Naruto's forehead; orange energy emerges from Naruto's stomach, growling angrily at the being.
" What are you, creature!? I won't let you hurt him," unfazed by the threat nine tails gave It. Without a beat, they touch the forehead of Naruto. Kurama, seeing this, attacked the being with one of its arms only for it to pass the being. Surprised by this Kurama attacked again only for the same thing to keep happening again.
" Don't worry Kyuubi no Kitsune, I will not separate the both of you." Kurama is confused about what the being is saying.
" What do you mean?!" Kurama asked.
" Tell the Savior to be himself, tell him to save the world that I'm sending him into, as he has saved this one from certain destruction, tell him we do not command him but ask for him, and tell him that we all ask for his forgiveness." Kurama can only see in desperation as white and mesmerizing light can be seen pouring from the hand of the being to the center of Naruto's forehead.
Not having the time to ask for clarification Kurama again attacked the being without gain. " May the father guide the two of you to find peace and understanding." With a flash, the whole room is consumed by light.
When Naruto opened his eyes, he expected to see a familiar ceiling, but instead, an unfamiliar white ceiling that is befitting for giants only. On alert, he tried to get up, but his hand failed to comply, then he tried his feet yet again, and failed. Panicking he looks to his right to be greeted by his hand that is so small and some sort of cage- no, a baby crib.
At first, he thought that it was a genjutsu, but that was ruled out knowing that Jichurikis are immune to genjutsu. When he tried to talk with Kurama he only received silence and could not feel the chakra that his friend had in his stomach. 'Kurama, where are you?' He thought to himself with worry. 'C'mon man don't prank me like this!' Naruto seeks his friend, only to find silence.
He checked the seal on his consciousness only to find there was no seal. There is no mountain-sized fox. There is only him alone.
Processing all the new information he has collected, he lets out an appropriate and normal response when normal people are faced with this kind of problem.
'What the fu-'
"Waagghhhh"
Naruto Uzumaki
It's been 2 weeks since I transformed into a baby and I can safely say it sucks. I don't know how, I don't know why. But some dick head must be a cruel person rather than killing me to put me in this kind of torture! Once in a while the nurse would change my diapers and give me food, but that was the only social interaction I had unless hearing baby blurbing counted as social interaction.
I don't know where I am but judging from the face and skin color of the Nurse I'm probably in Kumo or lightning country. That's good, it means I'm in friendly territory. My body was suddenly lifted by the nurse and she smiled. She wrapped me in baby blankets. Then handed me to another woman.
The nurse speaks to the woman in a strange language that I've never heard, probably trying to teach the woman how to hold me. 'That crossed the possibility that I'm in the Elemental Continent. This is going to be a pain and I want ramen!!'
Trying my best for my eyes to focus on the face of the woman holding me. My mind freezes seeing her. She has red hair looking at me lovingly, pressing her cheeks to mine. "Nathaniel Russell, my sweet boy." She said it with such a loving voice that I cried. I don't understand what she is saying. Yet I understand her intention clearly. She loved me with unbridled and unquestionable love.
Never have I ever had so much affection for myself since Kaasan. But this woman, I've never met, and yet, how can she give me the same amount of love?
That's the moment I knew she was my mother, that's the moment I knew I will protect her no matter the cost. That's the moment I knew, I'm in another world.
Kassandra Russell
"Why is he crying? Is there something wrong with him?" I panicked seeing I don't have any experience with babies. Trying desperately to calm him down but to no avail.
"It's fine Kassandra, right? Can I call you Cassie?" The nurse asked me. I nodded hearing her question and focused to calm little Nathan down. "He's just surprised to see you."
"Thank you, uh?"
"You can call me Ellie," she gave her name to me.
"Thank you, Ellie. I'm quite inexperienced with handling a baby."
"It's fine many do." She tried to calm me. "Here hold him like this and rock the baby so he'll be asleep." Listening to Ellie's advice I moved my body side to side and before long Nathan fell asleep. My heart pounded seeing my son. 'He is so cute.'
Being able to hold my son is such a joyous occasion. Sadly, I'm alone to celebrate it. There are my friends, I guess I'm not that lonely. I just hope Michael can get home safely from his mission in Somalia. Last time I heard there was a battle in a place called Mogadishu.
'He's going to be fine right? They are just a bunch of people with guns no way they can defeat the U.S army after its victory in the gulf war. Right?!' Remembering that dad died in Vietnam made me doubt myself.
"Are you ok Cassie? It seems there are a lot of things in your mind." Ellie nudged me, stopping and breaking my worry-filled rumination. "Is it about your absentee husband? Did he leave you with the baby alone?"
"Uh, no, he's in the army. Last I heard he was in Somalia. I'm worried for him." A confused look can be seen in Ellie
"Somalia, where's that? Is it in Iraq?" I want to facepalm but I restrained myself so I don't come off as rude. "And baby, if you have a husband in the army he's probably going to be fine, remember what our boys did to those Iraqis in Iraq. We're going to win, just calm yourself ok." She grabbed my shoulder and tapped it reassuringly
"Thank you, Ellie, again for calming me."
"No worries baby, and other babies, now I'm going to the nurse's office, ok. Can you handle yourself?"
"I can I'm a nurse at the Henry Ford hospital. thanks for the concern." Ellie raised another eyebrow.
"Wait, you're a nurse at Ford's, why are you so far here in Hutzel and not at Ford's? Also seriously you can't handle a baby even though you're a nurse?" I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment.
"Uhh, the water broke when I was craving deep-dish pizza and the water broke in my car and I've never handled babies at Ford," I explained to her.
"That explains everything. Well, then I'll get going." Ellie left me on my own to the nurse's office.
On the way to my car, I'm still worried for Michael. "I hope your father is ok, Naru." Hmm, Naru, that's a good nickname.
Meanwhile in Mogadishu
"Black hawk down, I repeat Blackhawk down! Requesting further assistance in point landing Delta! RPG!!!" A man holding an experimental XM4 in one hand and a handheld satellite communication device in another.
"Copy that fox 1, ranger on the way to initiate evac protocol on the route, ETA 15 minutes." The radio operator responded.
We don't fucking have 15 minutes! Ramirez, take control of the radio!" Ramirez holds the radio.
"Where are you going sarge?" Ramirez asked the badass.
"The ma deuce in that down chopper is cold, I want to warm it up," a slight smirk can be seen on him. He runs to the down chopper and shoots the m2 50 Cal door gun while yelling "Eat this, motherfucker!"
"That is one badass motherfucker," Ramirez can't help but be in awe seeing his Sarge running at the enemy like Rambo.
Back in Detroit
"He's probably crying right now," I chuckled to myself. "You heard that Naru, your father, is a crybaby. Remember that ok," Nathan responded with him trying to hold my face. "You are so cute, Naru."
2 weeks later
Michael Russell
The sound of tire screeching can be heard in the cabin of the 747 plane. It landed at Young International Airport. While taxiing; the plane air hostess announced from the speaker "Ladies and gentlemen, American airlines welcome you to Detroit. The local time is 9 A.M. For your safety and the safety of those around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisle(s) clear until we are parked at the gate."
Being the rebel that I am, I unfastened the seatbelt for the fun of it. I can say fuck you to air safety after what happened in Mogadishu. Remembering Mogadishu reminded me of Ramires who is still delayed to go back to his home in California because of Paperwork.
As the plane parked, I was lucky enough to get a seat near the aisle. With haste, I picked up my backpack with your typical army pattern before the aisle are too crowded and get the fuck out as fast as I can.
On my way to pick up my other stuff at the baggage claim area and pick up my silver-colored luggage. People are looking at me with respect, some even saluted, and old people thanked me by saying "thank you for your service." It's great to be in the army after winning the gulf war; the general populace like us.
Stepping out of the gate I can see Cassie holding out Nathan in one hand and a sign that reads daddy Michael. 'She did this intentionally.' I laugh in a mixture of embarrassment and genuine hilariousness.
"Michael!" She waves at me, gesturing to me to come closer. Her smile is so radiant. With haste, I walked fast to them and hugged her
"Cassie! Oh, how I miss you!" I hugged her tightly being careful to not disturb Nathan. And then I kissed her.
"Michael, meet our son Nathaniel Russel or what I like to call him, Naru." Naru, short for Nathaniel Russell, that's a good nickname.
"Did you name him after your dad?" Cassie nodded. "Can I hold him?" I asked Cassie."
"Have you showered?" Cassie countered.
"No," I responded.
"No holding baby until you shower." She moved her index finger in a denying gesture.
I sighed, "figures at much." Picking up the luggage again, the one I put on the ground when I hugged Cassie. "I'm driving right, let's go. where did you park the car?"
"Follow me."
Driving to our home we stopped at the nearest McDonald's.
'Burger… how… I miss you!'
8 years later
Naruto Uzumaki
This place is weird. Apparently, I live in a city called Detroit, and a country called The United State of 'Murica, America? I don't know, people tend to mix between the two. Dad likes to use 'Murica while mom uses America. It's strange to see a country that has two names. I like to use 'Murica, it's cooler.'
Since the day I could walk and read this country's language I've read so many books to gather intel about this place using clones lots of clones that use the transformation jutsu my chakra can only make 10 clones before I dropped because of exhaustion as I don't have Kurama's inexhaustible Chakra pool.
This world is called Earth and I live in a country that is considered a sole superpower just like Fire country in the 4th war. In fact, that's not where the similarities end: there's Mount Rushmore, and their agriculture is honestly on par or even greater than Fire Country, and the list goes on and on.
I'm currently watching a Tv show called Spongebob Squarepants with dad. I'm watching on the floor while he sits on our red sofa. He promised to spend the rest of the month with me before he deployed to Bosnia. I asked him why he was deployed there and he just answered: "People need us, there are bad people there who like to remove others from different cultures." I promptly translated in my head that there is a genocide there. It's certainly nice knowing that this world will charge ahead and do everything to stop genocide. I hope the same thing can be said for the Elemental Nation.
I noticed a certain theme about this country: it likes to intervene in foreign conflicts. Dad likes to tell me war stories when he's in Iraq and Somalia. This is his last deployment before his contract ended with the army.
Mom is really happy that dad will be with us in the future. As she likes to say, rather than following an order from his general, he will be taking more orders from his wife. Dad paled when hearing that.
"C'mon now, Michael, Naru. Turn off the Tv. We're going to be late, Naru, grab your backpack." Dad And I didn't move when hearing mom, instead laughing our asses watching the square character and his star-shaped friend, being chased by the Alaskan Bull Worm!
Mom, having enough of our shenanigans, blocked our view of the TV and promptly turned it off manually. My dad and I groaned in disappointment because of mom's actions. "But mom! It's 6:30 AM, we have plenty of time before school and your shift starts." Mom glared at me and I flinched.
"You forgot to count the traffic." She simply said to me, Dad, knowing that arguing with mom is doomed to fail, got up from his sofa and ruffled my hair.
"C'mon son, you know you can't beat your mom. Grab your backpack and comb your hair. Girls will fall for you if you take care of it properly." Dad advised me.
"Ok," I get up with my feet, climbing the stairs to get to my room. I look in the mirror to Comb my blond hair. Satisfied with my work I look at myself in the mirror properly with my full body in view.
Certain things have changed with my appearance compared to my previous life. For starters, my whiskers are gone, and my face seemed to change race, using this world term. My Japanese face turned into something more akin to Indo-European, specifically Nordic.
'I miss my whisker mark and I missed Kurama. Where is that bastard anyway? It's been eight years and he hasn't shown himself to me.' I sighed at the lack of my partner. 'And also, why was my nickname conveniently called Naru? It's weird.'
Grabbing my backpack I ran to the Garage only to stop myself because I remembered something important. 'Oh, right, I've been planning this for weeks.' I searched under my bed to grab a paper lunch bag. "This is going to be glorious," I muttered and smiled wickedly.
"Nathan!" I heard dad scream my name.
"Coming!!" Putting the lunch bag in my backpack I ran toward the garage and entered this world invention called the car. 'How they manage to make the ink on exploding tags move a metal object is unknown to me.' These people are way more advanced than the Elemental Nation. Airplanes, phones, and even a ship to take people to the moon! I don't think where I'm from there's a way for us to go to the moon!
The skyline of Detroit can be seen on my way to school. I can't help but feel awed even when I have seen it multiple times already. How can these people build such high buildings with no chakra? And I heard that New York has a better skyline than Detroit. The twin towers are sister buildings that left many people awed.
Dad turned on the radio and a guy speaking in a heavily African-American accent can be heard from it. "Hello, Detroiter it's Monday morning on the tenth of September 2001. I still can't believe we're in a new century today's song…"
A strange song that I'd never heard but dad seemed to like it.
(I don't know any music from this era because I was not born yet. So feel free to recommend any music so I can put it in here.)
"Oh yeah this is my jam," he moved his head and mom followed him.
"Reminds me of my teen days, I was so young back then." She said wistfully. "And more beautiful too."
"I think you are still beautiful Cassie." Dad tried to cheer up mom. Keynote tried.
"Oh shut up you."
Kassandra Russel
"Kassandra! Your phone is ringing," one of my coworkers called me. "It's the teacher at your kid's school." I have a bad feeling about this.' Micahel's obsession with star wars has finally rubbed on me.' She gave me my phone.
Not wanting to disturb my other coworker, I stand outside the room in the hospital hallway. Steeling myself for the worst knowing it was Nathan. I took a deep breath and answered the call. "Hello, Karen, how can I help you?"
"Uh yes, Kassandra." A feminine voice answered.
"Is it about Naruto?" I said with a grimace.
"Yes. Do you have any free time tomorrow before school starts? Specifically, 7:30. If you can bring your Husband too." Oh no, why God why.
"I'll clear up my schedule for you," I rubbed my eyes. "What did he do this time?"
"Well, he had brought-uhh- how should I say this? An automatic-uhh, paint sprayer, honestly I'm impressed by the contraption." Why just why just why!! "And one of the parents complained because the paint sprayed on their daughter's hair."
"Which one," I sighed. It probably can be heard on the other side of the phone. I sat on the nearest chair I could find.
"Rebecca's parents." I immediately stood up again. People in the hospital Look at me weirdly while some that are close enough that they can hear me, pitied me.
"The rich one?" I said quickly.
"The rich one,'' she confirmed. It's confirmed God hates me.
"Thanks for the info, Karen." I thanked her.
"It's ok. Goodbye Kassandra."
"Goodbye, Karen." I need to tell my boss.
"What did I do to deserve this?"
Arriving at the Elementary school Naruto is attending with Michael at Maybury Elementary on Tuesday morning. A grumbling Naru is being dragged by Michael while the other parents and students look at us weirdly. 'This is embarrassing.'
Walking to the teacher's office I can see Rebecca's parents glare at us at the front of the door. "Hai, Jennifer, how's your day?" I tried to break the ice. She just stood there still glaring at me and Naru. "How's Rebecca?"
"Embarrassed, she didn't go to school," She said coldly. I gulped hearing her tone.
"Christopher," Michael called Jennifer's husband's name.
"Michael," Jennifer's husband responded.
First, there was silence while both men stared at each other. All of the kids, Jennifer and me included, thought they were going to fight.
"Come here you little shit," the both of them suddenly do the predator handshake. "Where have you been since high school?" Christopher asked.
'What the,' Both me and Jennifer are confused.
"Ah, I was in the Army," Michael answered Christopher's question.
C: "Oh, shit you joined?"
M: "Yep, straight after graduating."
"Christ, I didn't know you knew Kassandra's husband," Jennifer asked.
"Well yeah, we're buddies from high school." They put their arms on each other's shoulders.
"This guy right here helped me to ask Cassie out on a date." Huh.
"In what way?" I asked Michael.
"It's a secret," he answered.
"Michael!"
"Excuse me, ma'am please don't scream in the hallway." One of the passing teachers that came out from the office advised me. "Karen is ready to take the four of you. Nathan, you're going to your class, and apologize to your friends. Ok?"
"Yes, Miss Elizah." Naru followed the newly named Elizah while running to class. 'Running in the school hallway.' I twitch my right eye.
Entering the teacher's office we sit at the chair Karen has provided. "Now let us first talk about Nathan. Is that ok miss harth?" Jennifer nodded. "Nathan is a talented child. His IQ is higher than most children and we made him take a test and we found out that he has a different way of thinking."
"What test? And what do you mean by a different way of thinking?" I asked. Concern could be heard in my voice. Karen continued.
"It's an aptitude test and we found out that Nathan thinks different things at the same time and probably has ADHD and autism at the low spectrum." My eyes went wide.
"Autism! Does that mean my son is…"
"Now, now don't panic miss Russel your child is not stupid. In fact, we can safely say that he's a genius. In all of the subjects except English, a common subject that people with the same problem struggled with." I calmed a bit upon hearing her explanation. "Does your son have a hobby, Miss Russell?" Karen asked.
"He does karate and Parkour, that new sport that has been popping up on the internet recently. Michaels is the one who encourages him to do it."
"That explained his daring escape yesterday." Karen put her hand on her chin.
" DARING ESCAPE?!!?" My heart, my poor heart. "I'm going to have a heart attack."
"Now let's talk about what happened yesterday."
Naruto Uzumaki
"Nathan, it seems you have graced us with your presence today." Mr. Derrick, my history teacher, eyed me on his chair while I'm standing at the door. "Sit young man or do you want to spend another hour in detention class because of your tardiness?"
"No, sir." I followed his order and sat at the back of the class with most of my classmates giving their attention to me.
"What a cool guy."
"Nathan's so handsome. "
I can safely say it's weird being popular in school.
"Now, let us talk about the history of democracy." Derrick started to write on the chalkboard about all the things will be discussing today. "Annabeth, can you tell me where the word democracy comes from?"
Annabeth stood up and answered. "The Greek sir."
"Correct. The word democracy comes from the Greek word"demos", meaning people, and "Kratos" meaning power; so can be thought of as. Power of the people." Democracy is one of the stupidest inventions this world has ever made.
Why is democracy important anyway?
A middle eastern man and 6 others like him pulled out their gun in a passenger plane while pointing them at the crowd. "Nobody fucking move!"
"Naruto, can you tell me why democracy is important?"
A man tried to resist but was shot dead right in the center of his head. Her daughter whimpers seeing her father being killed in front of her. "PAPA!!" The girl screamed.
"It's a stupid concept," that got the intention of the whole class.
"Open the fucking door." a man holding a gun in a plane while taking a little girl as a hostage.
"Explain." Mr. Derrick glared at me.
The terrorist kicked the plane door and pointed the gun at the pilot. "Move and you'll be dead."
"You just can't expect that people have the same intelligence to make sound decisions trusting the common people with the matter of whom they should choose their leader is frankly idiotic."
"Get up from the seat Americans." The man is frustrated as the pilot doesn't want to comply with his demands.
"No one is built the same and masses are idiots"
From the window, two tall buildings can be seen in the cockpit window, and the plane approaches fast to slam into them.
"But it is important, the people are strong and America is strong because of its people. Democracy is important!" The whole class is silent when they hear my speech. Only the sound of someone running in the hallway can be heard and that sound grew stronger and stronger.
"NEW YORK IS ATTACKED!!!"
Silence
Mr. Derrick with speed turns on the Tv that is provided by the school and finds a news channel. All of us in our class watched with horror as one of the towers was hit by a plane. The man at the news anchor appeared and readied his tie. "What you have seen just now is an accident as a plane slammed into the first tower. We don't know if this is an attack or an accident. Joining us now is an eyewitness, Winston Mitchell."
As the man recounts the event the second tower was hit.
All of us in our class watched with horror as the twin tower fell and dust spread to the city as if it was a dust storm.
In the public mind, there is only one word
REVENGE
America has awakened
……….
I'm sorry if this is lore inaccurate. I'm not American.
