Everything seemed to be over, once stood the five great nations now in ruins.
On the battlefield, Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru, The Raikage, Tsuchikage, Mizukage, Kazekage, and Hokage were dead.
Corpses lied everywhere, the only shinobi who stood left was Naruto Uzumaki. In his Kcm II form, heavily damaged physically and mentally.
"Kid, I don't know how much longer we can stand against him. His chakra is on another level." Blood dripped from the Uzumaki arm, mouth, and now missing an eye. Watching his enemy in front of him.
Staring in his eyes, one pupil glowing blue, while the other is a Rinnegan.
"You went as far as you could against me but now it's time to meet your end." Voice echoed.
'Kurama, there's nothing left here, but remember that seal we learned from old man sage?'
"Yes, it's now or nothing, but remember the consequences. It could set you back to another timeline worse than this one."
Eye closed, he inwardly nods as the kunai wrapped in a wrapping that says "Time".
Teeth gritting, knowing time is of the essence. His opponent has a questionable look at his kunai.
Before he could make his advances, Naruto summoned his Kyuubi avatar to stand in the deity way.
"Now Naruto!" Kurama shouted, Naruto then stabbed the Kunai into the ground as markings started to form on the ground, with scriptures that were unreadable.
The ground beneath him, opened, his body is dissolved as the world before him is no more.
New world
Dark, everything is blank after performing the seal, everything is a blur, not feeling real.
'Am I dead?' Wondered the shinobi.
His eyes open, he sees a ceiling, sitting up quickly as his face is sweating.
Last he remembered was facing him. The only figure he really considered was Kami.
"Ah, you're awake." Looking over he sees an old man with gray hair, matched with his beard, and yellow eyes.
His outfit contains a white gi, blue pants,black gloves and a black scarf.
Smiling over at the young man he saved, glad he had woken up. Next to him was a young girl with light red hair, blue eyes and a birthmark on her cheek, wearing a long sleeve black shirt and blue shorts, with standard sandals, also matching the old man's head scarf.
Naruto looks at his hands, flexing them. Feeling a bit different, he tries to get up but is sore.
"I'll be careful, you were badly wounded when I found you by the river."
River? Last he remembered he was on the battlefield in the middle of a wasteland.
'We did it, Kurama!' Ecstatic but one thing just entered his mind.
"Old man, where am I?" His sudden outburst startled them.
"We're in the Land of pebbles, I must assume you were a part of those rogue ninjas that tried to fight The Mizukage's death unit." He guessed, much to Naruto's confusion.
'Hmm, I never met these two in my timeline, but just to be sure it's probably better off to roll with it.'
Nodding his head, the medic shakes his head.
"Not good at dealing with the Mizukage, he's gone mad during these times. Lucky to have survived."
"Oh how rude of me, my name is Shinno, and this here is my pupil, Amaru." Shinno gestured to his student.
"My name, Na-Menma" Thinking on the fly, hoping to not let his actual name slip.
It must have gone unnoticed as he nods his head, finishing the bowl where he was mixing his herbs.
Bringing the bowl over to Naruto, grabbing his spoon, about to place it on his side, the blonde shinobi quickly reacted, grabbing onto his wrist which stunned the two medics.
"Easy my boy. This is healing ointment, it'll swell up your bruised ribs in no time." He proceeded once Menma let go.
"How long have I been out?"
"Three days." With that, Menma burst up and quickly started running outside, wearing nothing but boxers.
"Wait, still need to apply the ointment to your otherside!" Called out the doctor.
'I need to check something, Kurama.' He called out but no response.
Called out his companion once more, there was still no response.
Confused, he couldn't enter his mindscape. It finally hit him.
'Makes sense, back to the past, means the me here has Kurama.'
Explains why he hasn't healed fully, now stopping by a lake he begins analyzing himself.
Still having all of his ligaments, then he touched his left eye that was missing.
Guilt, and sadness bottling up inside his body, kneeling down, punching the ground.
"I promise, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi-sensei, everyone. I'll make sure history doesn't repeat itself." Talking to himself.
Watching from the small cabin, Amaru is curious about the teen.
Hours have passed since he woke up in the past. During this time, he was given a new set of clothes.
Wearing a standard shinobi vest, white jacket, gray pants with a kunai pouch over his left leg, and black sandals.
Even changing his hair. Decided to cut his hair to a low cut, still having spikes. Figured he needs to look a bit different.
He's sitting outside by the lake still, finding use of old paper wrappings.
"What are you doing?" Question the girl.
"Making some paper seals." Not further elaborating as he wrapped them around kunai.
"But why on the kunai?" She questioned further, much to the blonde annoyance.
"It's a part of my arsenal, I need to make sure I have enough if trouble happens." Half telling the truth.
'From what I can tell, I lost Kurama, so that means my fire nature is gone as well since I relied on him for that rather than training for it.'
Thinking to himself, building more formulas for his kunai.
'But still, I got wind, water and lightning as my elements but I still need to adapt since I've lost my eye and despite still having sizeable reserves, losing Kurama definitely made me feel the difference.'
The seal reads, 'Hirashin',concentrating still, not paying the girl no mind as she observes his handiwork.
'Nostalgic, I remembered when I learned how to use my old man technique when preparing for Nagato. For the longest I just revered this technique to travel, now since I lost quite a bit and can't afford to fight reckless, I need to use this again to end fights quickly.' Finished now with his formulas.
Shinno, who also noticed his markings on the kunai, went up to him.
"I see, so are you some type of a sealing ninja?" Menma looks back at him and gives off a nod.
"Yeah, my family is quite good at them. If you don't mind, is the Mizukage's death unit still around this village?" They'll be perfect test subjects.
Almost falling out, hearing his question. "You aren't serious kid? Please I just healed you fully back to health, don't go out looking for trouble."
If only the doctor knew how wrong he was.
"I was caught off guard, I'm better equipped now. Judging from your reaction they must still be here."
Shaking his head, "No, after they killed off your friends, they went back to the Hidden Mist. But there's still some of the lower class shinobi who belong to the Mizukage lurking around."
That concludes at least the Mizukage is still seemingly Yagura.
'Okay, I went back during the time I'm a genin, so no fuck ups there.' Sighed Menma.
Placing all of his kunai to his kunai pouch, he starts to head out.
"Wait where are you going?" Still walking out but he stops, looking back.
"Research." With that he's gone.
Town hall
Ever since he went back in time, everything feels so bizarre.
Still feeling like he is missing something, he sees a gentlemen's club.
Jiraiya's cackling sirens through his head, shrugging.
"Well, if any of these Mist jerks are around, this is one of the places I'm sure I can find them."
Stepping inside, he notices a bunch of women wearing bras or little to no clothing, welcoming him in, he has a little blush on his cheeks but continues with business.
Getting escorted to his seat by one of the workers there, he would be getting assistance from another woman.
She has red long hair, wearing a cheetah printed bra, matched with the same pattern skirt.
Not putting a finger to it, she looks so familiar.
Looking uninterested, she hands him a menu.
"Welcome to Pebbles n Tits. What can I get for you?" Her voice was lacking so much enthusiasm, he swear someone black mailed her to do this job.
Simply ordering a tea, she shrugs her shoulders and proceeds to the back.
While he waits for his tea, he notices the druggies, prostitutes and thugs around him.
'Man, Pervy sage sure did know where to congregate if not peeping at women.' Menma stated not liking his decision.
The woman came back with his tea, nodding his head, as he drank his tea.
"Question? You wouldn't have heard of a group of bandits getting slaughtered by Hidden Mist ninja right?" That question had her raise her eyebrows, before nodding.
"Of course I had unless you lived under a rock. Been the talk of the town for a few days." She said, now sounding annoyed.
Patting his seat, "Drink?" He offered.
"Ha, sorry not like these other whores here." Shocked at her assumption and vocabulary, he quickly shakes his head.
"Not like that ma'am I just wanted to know more about the incident that happened." As if he hurt a puppy for what he just called her, he quickly about to regret it.
"Ma'am? What I look like some fucking grandma? I'm 18 you shit head."
Her outburst got some uninvited attention, now embarrassed at eyes on him, he closed his one good eye, hands in the air trying to calm the situation.
"You misunderstand, I wasn't trying to call you old, just wanted to be polite." Laughing nervously.
"Polite? Being polite would let me do my fucking job and not trying build a conversation just so you can fuck me, you pervert." The table then will crack after those words.
"Alright, that's enough. I was trying to be nice, but if you're gonna be a bitch about it then nevermind." Starting to leave, as the red head about to retort, a figure approaches.
"Everything okay babe? Need me to fuck someone up?" This man said, placing his arm around the girl who seemed to be his girlfriend.
Wearing a eyepatch, bandages around his head, neck and hands, carrying a huge blade with tags.
She looks disgusted at him. "First off, I can handle it myself and second. Who are you calling babe jackass?"
He simply laughs at her attitude, waving her off.
Awe come on, Tayuya. I'm here at your aid and you being cold, I'm hurt." Placing his hand on his heart, in mock tone.
'Wait, Tayuya." Observing her, that hair.
Inwardly screaming, what is she doing here? She should be around Orochimaru. Not only that, she's older than what she was supposed to be.
Covering her breast, pointing at him. "Pervert!" She screams.
Stepping in front of Tayuya. "Hey, got a problem keeping your one eye away from my girlfriend's chest."
Menma waves off the accusation, "Hey, sorry it was nothing like that. I'm jus-"
The swordsman then placed his blade towards the blonde shinobi face.
"Let me warn you, kid. I'm one of the seven swordsmen of the mist, wielder of Shibuki and one of the Mizukage's executioners. So leave and I won't spill your blood."
Perfect, was the thought of Menma. "Actually, you are one of the people I'm looking for. Is there a civil war going on in your village?"
"You sure are sharp huh kid. Yea, we just killed the rebels that were hiding here, Mizukage-sama had me stay just in case anymore were hiding."
Menma's face turned devious.
"What if I tell you, I'm one of those rebels?"
Tayuya whose face dropped, he doesn't know what he is getting into.
"Listen, shit head I don't know if you think he's joking but that's Jinpachi Munashi, You'll die if you face him!" Menma just gave her a confident grin.
"Let's not fight here, I rather not have this place suffer damages." He suggested, Jinpachi agree, removing his blade.
After he left, Amaru followed once Shinno fell asleep.
She doesn't know what it is, but something about him drew her attention.
Hearing commotion, seeing a crowd gathered around.
She notices Menma and some swordsmen.
'Oh no, he's about to fight isn't he!?' Concerned as she ran closer to the scene.
Menma dug into his pouch, pulling out a kunai.
"Really kid? Didn't your parents tell you to never bring a kunai to a sword fight?" Taunted Jinpachi.
He wasn't concerned however, not wasting anymore words.
Just like that, Jinpachi marches towards his opponent, waving his sword aiming at his neck.
But if you blinked, you missed it. Menma threw the kunai past his opposition and is now behind him.
Everyone watching is shocked as his enemy, can't believe what just happened.
'He's fast,' Thought Amaru and Tayuya.
Gaining a few more feet from his opponent, dancing around his blade prior.
"I must admit, you're fast. But now I'm going to start getting serious, okay?"
Again, he doesn't say anything. Much to the swordsman's anger.
Placing two fingers, it starts to get misty.
'Silent killing technique, nostalgic.' Not missing a beat, throwing multiple kunai's around him.
Erecting a barrier, so the bystanders don't get caught up between their actions.
He appears next to Menma, but as soon as he swung he teleports out of distance from the explosion.
The next 3 minutes was him evading Jinpaichi attacks.
Having enough of that mist, He forms some hand signs.
'Wind release: Great Vacuum.' Sucking in the mist, by his hands, seeing his opponent in clear view now.
Much to the Mizukage's executioner disbelief.
"Enough of this, I'll give you an out and depending on your answer I'll decide what happens next. Take me to your Mizukage."
Jinpachi laughs while Menma poker face is still on.
"Sure, I'll bring you to him after I take your head off!" Foolishly charging at his opponent.
Shaking his head, staying still.
Just like that, the swordsman's brain is fried as his head blows off. Everyone watched in horror at what they saw.
"Flying Rajin: Lightning edition." Face palmed a little bit, 'Better name next time.'
Amaru covering her mouth as she turns away, Menma notices the little girl and has a frown on his face.
Dissecting the barriers he had up, he made his way towards Amaru.
"Why are you here?" Not liking that she followed him.
"I was curious where you went, you left so suddenly." She said looking down.
Placing his hand on her head, as he knelt down.
"I'm sorry you had to see that, where's the doctor? I'll escort you back." Before she was able to respond, he suddenly had another red head on his shoulder, as she hit him on his back to let go.
'The fuck wrong with me? Seeing him do that made me-' Covering her face at the thoughts running through her mind.
Menma then looked back at the sword, before turning to the rest of the observers who skirmished back when they noticed his attention on them.
"Anyone that is possibly an informer or has connections to the village let them know of what happened right away, and take that sword to the Mizukage."
Just like that, with the two girls in tow he left.
Dr. Shinno House
"Wait, have you gone mad?" Can't believe what the young shinobi did.
Menma, swirling the kunai around while relaxing on the chair.
"I don't see the issue, stop the Mizukage, this land no longer gets caught up behind Mizu no kuni mess." Not really his motive behind joining the war, but they don't need to know that.
Pointing at Tayuya, "You obviously have affiliation towards the Hidden Mist, so we're going to need your guidance when we get there."
"You really have a death wish, killing Jinpachi is cool shit but he's not even the most dangerous you have to deal with." Getting a headache trying to express how much of this is a bad idea.
Amaru, handing the blonde shinobi his ramen, he smiles at the young girl before scarfing down his food.
"I know what I'm dealing with, you seem to doubt me but what if I tell you what you saw was just me going easy?"
"Bull shit." Calling his bluff.
Pointing his finger behind her. "What's that over there?"
Everyone turned where he pointed at.
"There's no-" Face flushed as she covers her chest. "You fucking pervert!"
Her bra was missing, in a instant he had it around his kunai as he kept eating his ramen.
"Told you. Imagine how many necks I can slash in an instant." Bragging as he finishes his bowl.
Still red in the face, "Okay, you made your fucking point. Now give me my bra or I swear to-" Using her bra to cover mouth.
"Please, language and Menma-san, I would rather you not do that in front of my young student." Scolded the doctor.
Snorting a little, while Tayuya puts on her bra, mumbling cuss words. "Sorry about that old man. Now I'm not forcing you to join me and potty mouth, but I'll be happy to have a medic on my journey." Looking him in the eyes.
The doctor, not sure about leaving his home. He looks over at Amaru and notices her attention on the shinobi he saved hours ago.
If his talents were true, then he has no problem worrying about his safety.
"On one condition. I will join you as long as you keep Amaru safe."
Smiling as he looks down at the girl. "I swear on my ninja way."
Satisfied about the answer he received, heading to his room. "Then I'll be getting some rest, we have a big journey in the morning."
Mizu no Kuni
The Hidden Mist village has been at war for years now, ever since Yagura rule to purge all blood line users, death being all this country knows, as they're known as the bloody mist.
Inside of the Mizukage office sits what appears to be a young shinobi with blonde hair, red eyes. Wearing his kage hat, looking at papers until suddenly.
"Lord Mizukage!" On alert as he looks at his subordinate intrusion.
"What's the meaning of this?" Just then he saw Shibuki blade.
"One of our messengers informed us of Jinpachi's death by one of the rebels."
"Description?" Only knowing a handful from the rebels that could kill Jinpachi.
"A man with blonde short hair, singular blue eye, wearing a white jacket."
This must be someone from an outside source, but he wouldn't be bothered by it until he gets more information. This war is still in his favor by a landslide.
"Send word out to Kisame's squad, and tell the others to spread out their searches."
His servant bows before relaying his master's message. Things only got interesting, in the Mizukage's mind.
Author note:
This is a wrap for the first chapter. Been planning this for quite a bit now so hopefully you all enjoy it, as of now things are shaping up differently with Naruto in this new timeline after losing everything in his own world. Though he lost some of his powers due to changing to the new world, he still got plenty of other substitutes that made him op, and I'm not afraid to display that as you can see.
With that said any questions feel free to dm me and have a good day!
