It was a normal day in the leaf village, streets were bustling with activities & stores the Mountain of the hokages overlooking the whole village was happy. Naruto the Villages hokage was at his office working on some paperwork his eyes were glued onto the paper while he was finishing up some more scrolls

"sigh jeez... that should be the last of them"

Just then Sakura The pink haired doctor would come in to take some of the scrolls

"What's wrong tired?"

He flashed her his usual grin & leaned back a bit on his chair "well can ya blame me? hehe being hokage is more harder than i thought"

"weren't you the one that wanted this baka?"

"hehe true true"

Naruto always enjoyed her company for a long time he loved her despite him knowing that she wouldn't love him back. But that wasn't the case she in fact did love him for a while she did but wouldn't say anything due to hinata. Sakura knew, in fact everyone knew. and that made her give up her life for hinata, she didnt want to hurt her.

"anyway, ill just take this scroll thanks for finishing it up for me" she said as she took a scroll and proceeded to go

"any time Sakura!"

Before she closed the door she gave a warm smile and gave a small head shake "baka..."

Time Skip

Naruto was finishing up as he proceed to head home. He was walking through the streets his hands in his pockets, thinking. mainly on his life and how he got here, and the people he's met. Walking through the streets he was met with many people waving to him as he waved back he went into his favorite place to get ramen, Ichiraku's Ramen. heading inside he sat on one of the stools and was met with his favorite server.

"Ah Naruto! good to see you again!"

"hey Teuchi! You too!"

"shall i get the usual?"

"you better believe it!"

"10 bowls of ramen comin up!"

After waiting for a while he manage to get all of his ramen and proceeded to chow down ruthlessly

"so how've things been for you?"

"meh the usual just paper work, scrolls, writing, the same heh now I know how granny tsunade felt"

"what about your son?"

"well... heh he's more like me then I thought. I just want what's best for him"

"im sure he'll be fine he's got a hokage as his father"

they shared a laugh as naruto finished up and proceeded to head home

Time skip

Arriving Home he headed inside to be met with his son and daughter

"hey dad! welcome home"

"daddy!"

"hey you two! how have you been, eating good right?"

"really dad..."

'hahaha Sorry"

"Naruto-Kun! welcome home" Hinata said walking towards him

"hi Hinata, i already ate but im going to get something real quick then pay a friend a visit"

"oh alright Naruto-kun we'll be here"

Fast forwarding

Naruto began walking towards the Konoha cemetery where upon arriving he knelt down in front of an old friend "Hey Alan... its been a while places down flowers sorry... I didn't come earlier i was caught up in all the hokage stuff... I hope that... you're glad that... I made it this far... I...I wish you were still here...You were there from the start Alan... I wished things were better." he finished as he rubbed his face

Then he felt a presence come to his side "Oh. hey Sasuke"

"hey Dobe. Visiting him again huh?" he said before knelling down as well

"yeah..."

"hm. dont really blame you. i didnt really know him all that well. often times back then when we'd meet he'd give me a cold shoulder or a non comply sometimes a grunt."

"im sure he didnt mean it"

"hm. Maybe..."

There was a bit of silence between them as things felt a bit tense

"you know Dobe his so called "death" wasnt really conformed, didn't people say he just disappeared?"

"Well...I guess...but even if he didn't die why didn't he come back? & if so why now? After ALL these years? He's just abandoned us?"

"Maybe he had his reasons. Even now we don't know. Just be glad the village at least gave him a grave even if there's no body"

"Yeah... I guess."

Sasuke pat his back a bit before they stood up

"Sure he'd be proud to know you've made it this far."

"Yeah...thanks Sasuke"

"Anytime dobe"

"Very funny Teme"

As the sun began setting lights were just about to go on. & on top of the hokage mountain stood a menacing hooded figure overlooking the entire village.

"Now. Let the end begin."

Fast forwarding

Naruto was in his bed sleep with hinata sleeping by his side, while she slept Naruto couldn't sleep he kept thinking back on what Sasuke said

"in thoughts damn... was Sasuke right? Could Alan still be alive? & he was right his death wasn't confirmed he just vanished off the planet, there hadn't been any sightings of him since then..."

Suddenly A giant explosion went off that woke the entire village up Naruto shot up & sprang to open his window to see the explosion which apparently was around the villages main entrance

"Naruto-kun what was that?!"

"I don't know i have to investigate!"

"W-wait! I want to come with you this time Naruto-kun"

"What? No! Too dangerous!"

"Naruto-kun I'm can handle myself, you promised"

He was about to argue but knew it was futile "Oh my god Fine! But stay close!"

Both of them then got dressed & prepared to head out the door way until boruto & his sister came out

"Dad! What the heck was that?!"

"I don't know me & you're mother are going to investigate you stay here ok? & look after you're sister"

"But-"

"No but's! That's an order, stay here we'll be back"

Without saying anything else both of them left leaving boruto confused & a bit mad

"Onii-Chan? Are mom & dad going to be come back soon?"

"Yeah... I'm sure you will stay here ok & do not let anyone else inside besides me or mom or dad or sarada-chan"

"O-ok"

Fast forwarding Naruto & hinata made it to the explosion where all of his friends were as well the whole konoha 10 apart from assume even if he was there as well

"Guys! What's happening here?!" naruto asked

"Look for yourself naruto!" shikamaru said

Naruto looked at the entrance and was stunned. It was a sort of four legged winged stone creature it resemble a sort of small dragon around the size of a Horse it was made of rocks and stone and it gave off an irry Purple glow along with it's glowing eyes

"What the hell is that?!"

"We don't know!" Kiba said

"It showed up not too long ago. apparently it killed two of the guards defending the gate" Ino added

Hinata then used her byakugan on the creature and was shocked

"Theres no Chakra. I don't sense any chakra!"

The konoha 10 were stunned surprised the fact that this creature didn't even have any chakra despite its aura

"Is this thing even alive?!" Kiba added

"We've been trying to use our Jutsu's on it but it didn't do a thing. It would would destroyed only to be rebuilt and made again, almost like it reconstructs itself" Shikamaru explained

"Have you tired trapping it?" Naruto asked

"We tired to but apparently it didn't work we trapped the previous stone pieces of it's body but it would only reconstruct itself again form the ground around them!" kiba said

Naruto became stunned a lot how could they destroy something that can't even be destroyed?

Suddenly the creature Began a irry screech of a roar that sent a chill down all of their spines and echoed throughout the entire village causing everyone to the cover there ears

"Ah! What the heck was that?" Lee said covering his ears

Slowly the ground around them began to rumble until it became louder. & louder. They looked at the creature the irry purple glow began glowing brighter then the same light come from under the ground. Then it quickly surrounded the entire villages edge it was almost like a wall of irry purple light the konoha 10 looked around eyeing the lights before going going back on the creature

"What is this..."

Out of nowhere! A stone claw shot out of the ground beside the creature and began crawling out with a bone chilling screech. Then other and another and another more and legions of these indestructible creatures shot out of the ground and surrounded the whole village. The would roar and growl at the edge of the village as everyone else witness the surrounding chaos

"Shit! Shikamaru get the anbu to evacuate the village to the emergency exits and tunnels now!"

"On it"

Contacting the anbu shikamaru manage to get the anbu to evacuate the village

"Ok it's done"

"Good."

They all stood there ground towards the legions of these stone beasts wondering how this could be possible and who were controlling these things. They didn't even attack they just roared and screeched out the village edge causing much concern

"Why aren't they attacking?" ino asked

"Maybe they're waiting for something" lee added

"hey do you think someone is behind all this?"

"Maybe. I'm not quite sure..."

Suddenly an anbu came up to shikamaru

"What is it?" he asked

"Bad news I'm afraid these things have blocked off both the exits and tunnel exits there no where to evacuate" the anbu said

"Argh! Troublesome."

"Damn it! We're gonna have to evacuate everyone back away from the edge and away from these things as far as possible"

"Yes hokage Sama." the Anbu said then left

"We might need to contact outside help shika can you get any word to the outside?"

"Sorry Naruto we've already tried these things manage to cut off all ties to communication as well they somehow drain lots of the chakra energy that true to leave the village"

"Shit! So we're trapped here?!" Ino said in a panic

"Wait. If we can't destroy them maybe we can find the source? Destroy the source destroy them all" Sakura suggested

"Troublesome. But not a bad idea maybe it's near here I'll send a anbu to find a source of energy stronger then these things around the village"

Time would past as the group decided to fall back and help gather the people to a safe location away from the stone creatures it was long cut they managed.

"whew I think that should be everyone."

"Naruto-kun are you sure it's the right thing to do and evacuate this quickly?"

"I'm not sure...But we don't have much of a choice in the matter.

"Naruto's right we can't even be sure if those things out there could attack" Sakura added

"Was there anyone hurt? Naruto added

"No, Everyone made it safely"

"Oh no...Thats not the worst part." Shikamaru said in a slight panic

"What is it?" ino asked

"Theyre moving in."

Outside the whole village edge would be swarmed by the oncoming slowing moving stone creatures, they began destroying every building in the wake clawing and biting everything they could see causing explosions across the edge shaking the whole village

"Shit! We're gonna need to evacuate every further away Shika can you get every one thats willing to fight to fall back as far as possible?"

"I should, I'll contact the anbu"

After doing so naruto began to get a small headache getting a faint chakra energy feeling he hadn't felt in a long time

"Naruto we have some news!"

"What is it shika?"

"We manage to find a stronger energy signature, more significant than the rest."

Shikamaru looked up towards a certain mountain & soon everyone followed & Naruto was the one that was the most shocked

"The top of the hokage mountain."

Outside on the mountain legions of the creatures would slowly be descending the mountain & one certain hooded individual would be at the edge watching the chaos unfold.

"...hehehe...Come find me now Fox. This Future will be forgotten. This Life will descend into Chaos. AND I WILL HAVE MY FREEDOM!"

Back with the group

"We have to get up there it has to be the source!" Lee said proudly

"What about everyone here?" Ino added

"I've contacted everyone here that can help the people & the anbu they should be able to fall back, not the mention the creatures are going pretty slow"

"Good point"

"Then let's move out come on to the mountain!" Naruto yelled out

The group then quickly left. Jumping from roof to roof avoiding some of the people falling back. & arriving near the path to mountain

"Naruto in thoughts this feeling again...Why does it feel familiar..."

On the mountain the individual stood overlooking the whole village in disarray his forces already descended. they just stood there his coat on in the wind his hood covering his satisfied grin. They felt a small gust of wind blow past their hood & their grin grew. Behind them stood the konoha 10 weapons at the ready & in poses ready to fight. The figure rose his head bit & started a small laugh. It began slow, but started to grow. It sounded evil. But almost, Broken.

"Hey you! I am Naruto Uzumaki! Hokage of this Village! We know you are responsible for this chaos! Make your creatures stand down & Come Quietly with us! Or we will force you!"

"..."

There was silence. The only sounds were the wind & the distant explosions. The group began getting tense as the person didn't react almost as if they were waiting

"...I see you've brought the konoha 11. Heh or 10 at least...Been a long time hasn't it?...Fox."

"Fox...?" Naruto said quietly in slight confusion "in thoughts that voice...It sounds familiar..."
