5 years ago: Thanos making the Snap

Jean's eyes flickered opened, her body was vibrating with excitement ... or was this fear? She couldn't tell and based on the way that the voice in the back of her head was reacting, she wasn't sure that she ever would be able to tell. She pushed her body sideways, swinging her feet over the edge of her bed and planting them on the ground. She could feel a shift in the air as she stood up and she looked around nervously. Something was going on ... not just here at the Xavier Mansion, no something was happening all over the world. She took a couple of deep breathes before mentally asking the entiire mansion 'emhello?'./em But for the first time that she could remember, it was silent. There was no chattering minds screaming out to her abilities.

She opened the door to her room and she found that the busy hallways were empty, charred black flakes littered the floor but the hallway was otherwise empty. And then she heard it. Sacreams from all over the world.

"Help! my mom is gone!"

"What's happeneing?"

"Mom! Dad!"

"My dad turned to dust right in front of me"

"We are the Avengers, we were supposed to stop Thanos"

"Thanos"

Thanos

Thanos

THANOS

Jeans eyes flared golden as she felt such anger and hatred for the name. She shivered as she struggled to not let the emotion over come her.

She felt pulse of life come through the front door and she rushed down the hall and down the stairs as fast as her feet could carry her, forgetting that she could will herself to fly.

Standing in the doorway was Logan, the short wild-haired man had an angry look on his face.

"Jean, what happened?" asked Logan

"I don't know, I just woke up" replied Jean

Wakanda: before the Snap

The sky was split between a class of red and purple, Wanda's hands were glowing dark crimson as she tried to push Thanos back, trying to give Shuri as much time as she could. Shuri let out a cry of success as she managed to finished and the Mind Stone was blasted out of Vision's body and his body discolored to a plain white.

Wanda's focus waivered for the briefest of seconds but that was all that Thanos neeeded,the purple power stone in his gauntlet flared up, glowing brighter than before as Wanda was sent flying backwards.

The red stone in the gauntlet glowed and the yellow mind stone fell back down to Earth like a comet and Thanos held out his hand, ready to catch it. But it was shot out of the air, away from his grasp by a blue bolt of energy, flying off into the unknown of the cavern below.

Thanos turned and glared at the small African girl who still had her hand up, a black glove made of some Earthly technology being the source of the bolt of energy.

"I admire your courage child, but you're in over your head. I wield 5 of the infinity stones, I am the most powerful being in the universe" tsk'd Thanos

"Then why does your chin look like a ballsack" quipped Shuri

Thanos chuckled, his shoulders rocking and he shook his head, "Cute"

He turned his back on Shuri and rotated his gauntlet covered hand, the green glow of the time stone was seen and Shuri gulped as a yellow dot rose up out of the darkness and right in front of Thanos' body.

"I have all the time in the world child, reality is whatever i want it to be. You can''t see it, but I've already won" said Thanos as he closed his hand around the mind stone and his body glowed in a rainbow of colors.

The gauntlet sucked in the yellow stone and Thanos let out a scream as he felt his body start to heat up, there was a bubbling pressure inside of his body and it was begging to be let out.

His mind trembled and he could taste the coppery blood that was filling his mouth, but then it all stopped and he was outside of his body looking at his stilled form and the stilled world around his frozen body.

"You've done it" said an icy female voice

Thanos turned around and he didn't know whether to smile or grimmace in disgust. He was ahout to wipe out hald of the universe, but he hadn't expected her to be here.

She was pale, her skin as white as fresh snow. Her face was perfect, whatever you thought perfection was, this was it. Her body was cloaked in a black cloak that sucked in the light from around her body.

"Yes, i've done it. I'm about to complete the mission that we set out on together, all those years ago" whispered Thanos.

"And I couild not nor would not be prouder of you" said Death in a soft tone, "You've embraced the killer inside and lain waste to planet after planet"

Thanos didn't say anything and Death continued on.

"You were nothing more than a love sick puppy, trying any and everything to get me to even glance at you" taunted Death, "Your entire life was spent chasing my attention, craving my affection"

Thanos grit his teeth

"But you've become nothing more than a monster" continued Death, "From killing those cave dwellers on your home world to a the galaxy killer"

"You made me do it" roared Thanos, "You've been whispering in my ear since I was a boy"

Death smirked "And you fell for it, you don't matter"

Thanos snarled, "Enough of this, I have my destiny to attend to"

Death's form faded from view and Thanos was back of his body and this time he was not overwhelmed by the pain, his body was rather numb. He snapped his fingers inside the gauntlet.

There was silence before Thanos was everywhere, his mind stretched beyond its limits as he felt every being in the universe before one by one, half of them slowly dissolved from his mind and exisistence.

Thanos had always said that he would be fair in this moment, that he would not be bias in this moment, holding past actions against anyone. But in the moment, he found that he could feel the massive power on the otherside of the universe. A being this powerful would be able to undo all of his work. It was weird, the large source of energy was inside of a being that had another third being inside of his arm.

Growling. Thanos made sure to wipe out the source of power inside of the man's stomach with a snarl and he was set flying off his feet as the power of the stone overloaded the gauntlet.

Shuri looked at the smoking form of Thanos in horror, "What have you done?"

"What was needed" replied Thanos before he whisked himself away in a blue portal.

Shuri turned to the unconscious Wanda and watched her melt away in a pile of dust before looking down at her own hands, waiting for it to happen to her. But it didn't happen to her, and the andriod that she saved frowned.

"We lost" said Vision in a quiet tone, as if afraid that his words would make things worse.

Shuri felt the warm tears rolling down her cheeks before she realized that she was crying, she dropped to her knees and pounded the ground with her fists. A mixture of anger and sorrow bubbling inside of her.

She went to slam her fist into the ground but Vision grabbed her wrist and stopped her.

"Sorrow and rage will lead you everywhere but where you want to go" said Vision as he pulled her to her feet and into a hug, the young sobbing girl leaning into the embrace.

"I'm scared" whispered Shuri, "I can't lose my family"

"The stones cannot kill them, all of the souls are inside the soul stone. Stored away, we just need to get the stones back and undo the snap" said Vision with a somber tone.

With Naruto:

Hiruzen glared at the blond man before him and said "You claim to be Naruto, but yet speak with Minato's voice recounting his final moments. Interesting"

Naruto lifted up his left arm and showed off the seal that wrapped around his arm, "My father lives in this seal on my arm"

Hiruzen made a sour face and Naruto lifted his shirt and channeled some chakra, revealing the seal on his stomach.

"You can't fake this old man" said Naruto

Hiruzen let a sigh and then a chuckled "I'm getting much to old for this"

Naruto rolled his eyes, "How my father put up with you and this village is beyond me"

"He was supposed to be in this office at this very moment, but with the death of your parents at your birth, I was left to pick up the pieces, forgive me for not jumping with joy" replied Hiruzen, "So, what brings you here?"

"I was hoping to get some training, I have a serious threat back home that I was hoping you'd be able to help me" said Naruto

Hiruzen frowned, "If you truly have your father living inside of you, you have access to all of his memories, there is nothing that I can teach you"

"Why not?" asked Naruto, "I thought you were the strongest Hokage"

Hiruzen laughed and laughed, wheezing at hearing those words by Naruto.

"You crack this old man up" gasped Hiruzen, "I am one of the most complete shinobi in the world, but I am far from the strongest Hokage. The First Hokage was in a legaue all to himself. His brother. the Second Hokage was a step behind him but not far behind/ Your father split th difference between the First and Second Hokage, escpiecally once he got Sage Mode"

"Oh. even my father's memories of you had you seen as this mythical figure" said Naruto

"I am strong but by the time they died, all of them were stronger than me" replied Hiruzen

"Ok" said Naruto, looking completely dejected

"What I would suggest to you Naruto, is that if you want to truly get stronger, use whatever method that you used to travel here, to travel to another version of this world. I want you to succeed in your new life. I regret not being able to give you the best life when you were here, but maybe by giving you some advice, I can help you in your new life"

Naruto smiled, pulling out the sword from his back and said "That's actually a great idea. thanks Old Man"

Naruto's form glowed a bright blue. but he found that he could not enter his KCM form as he still could not talk to Kurama, but the sword still greedily sucked up his chakra and he disappeared in a burst of green energy.

"Be safe Naruto" said Hiruzen as he blinked and Naruto was gone.

New Naruto Universe:

Naruto was once again falling from the sky, which was to be expected at this point. Dimensional travel was not nice for the traveler per said. He was falling in on a scene that he was unfamiliar with but apparently this was a powerful version of himself.

"Hmm, Madara did as asked. Perfect" said a booming voice from above the arena, but below the falling Naruto.

There was a floating man with orange hair below Naruto but above the arena.

"My name is Pein and I am the leader of Akatsuki. For years, we have been forced to live in the shadows and to the whims of the 5 Great Shinobi villages, but that is no longer the case. In fact, there has never been the start of any way without a great firing shot. Allow me to give you a dose of our pain" said the man named Pein before he extended his hands outwards.

"Almighty Push"

Naruto wondered if those words were supposed to do something as he crashed into the orange haired being from above.

The pair of them fell towards the ground and the figure turned around, revealing the numerous black piercings that littered his face with a Ame headband with a slash through it. The fluttering black cloak with red clouds revealed a mesh shirt underneath with standard black shinobi pants.

The both landed on the sandy ground of the arena and Naruto was once again happy that Sage Mode allowed him to absorb almost all damage.

"Uzumaki, what is the meaning of this?" asked the Orange haired man that Naruto had crashed into

"You know me?" asked the MCU Naruto

"I think he's referring to me" said a slightly younger Naruto

"That would make sense" commented the MCU Naruto as he climbed to his feet, pulling his sword out.

Pein climbed to his feet as well and he tried to blast MCU Naruto back with an "Almighty Push" but found that the sword in his hands absorbed the jutsu.

"This is an unseen possibility, two different Naruto Uzumaki" said Pein, his eyes seeing the same chakra signature inside both of the Naruto's.

MCU Naruto smirked and Stuck on Red Naruto grinned

Pein launched himself at the Stuck on Red Naruto, who tried to block the punch, only for Pein's punch to rip through his guard and slam into his face.

MCU Naruto swung his sword at Pein, who leaned to the sign to avoid the swing, but he gasped when a stinging slash ripped into his chest.

Backpedaling Pein used his eyes to see that the MCU Naruto's chakra had taken on a different form, denser and more powerful.

Stuck on Red Naruto jumped back into the fry, hand coated in fire as he slashed at Pein and send four columns of flames at Pein.

The flames raced towards Pein, only for to be repelled by a force, causing a smokescreen that blocked Pein's vision.

He felt a shift behind him and he grit his teeth as the biting edge of a sword ripped into his back.

He kicked away the MCU Naruto and sent out another Almighty Push, this time sending himself up into the air, creating some space between himself and both of the Narutos.

His eyes tried to keep track of both of them, finding that the older sword touting Naruto was faster and stronger than the other Naruto.

Stuck on Red Naruto created twin clothes and raised his hand above his head, chakra building and Pein started to grow worried about whatever attack that Naruto was building.

The air was being sucked into a vortex above Stuck on Red Naruto's head and Pein saw a Rasengan that was surrounded by spinning blades of wind.

Just a glance at the technique let Pein know that this body wouldn't survive a hit from that attack.

There was a swooshing of air let Pein twist to avoid the sword from the MCU Naruto.

As he was passing by, MCU Naruto, grabbed onto Pein and flung him towards the ground.

Pein sent out another Almighty Push. to push back the MCU Naruto, whose sword didn't absorb the attack this time.

A screeching went off under him and Pein gasped as the large Rasenshuriken slammed into his form from below, the Stuck on Red Naruto had snuck up on him.

Pein didn't know if it Naruto had figured out the 5 second delay on his gravity jutsu or if he had simply gotten lucky, but it didn't matter as seconds later, Pein knew no more.

MCU Naruto landed and he winced as he saw the shredded up corpse of Pein land with a crash to the ground, too many cuts to count on his body.

Turning to his Stuck on Red counterpart, the MCU Naruto frowned as he saw black spots start to appear everywhere on his counterpart and the world around him.

"What's going on?" asked the Stuck on Red Naruto.

"I don't know" said the MCU Naruto

The world around them froze and a familiar cold voice whispered in Naruto's ear.

"A fine start, now it is time for you to do what that sword was meant to do. Stab it into the ground and absorb your counterpart" demanded Death

Naruto felt his mouth fill with vomit as he felt the powerful cold grip of her in his soul

"What?" he asked, unsure of what he was being asked to do

"Stab your counterpart, end him and this miserable timeline" demanded Death

Naruto found his body moving without his consent and his blade glowed green as it entered his doppelganger's body and Naruto's form took on a similar shade of green and his mind was suddenly full of so many different moments from this universe's Naruto.

Naruto was huffing and puffing on the ground, his body aching and his lungs praying for air, he was nearly on empty.

"Get up and try it again" said a rough voice

Naruto climbed to his feet and turned to the extremely damage tree off to the side of him.

"I SAID GET UP AND TRY IT AGAIN!" Roared the same voice as before.

...

"You're making progress with it, but I still don't think that you're giving it your all, Naruto" stated the Third Hokage.

"Oh yeah, let me just master this Justu that took 3 years to develop and a 1 year for one of the greatest Shinobi in the world to learn himself." Snapped back Naruto

"Well he wasn't you, so it doesn't matter. I expect better from you while I am teaching you." Relied Hiruzen

...

Naruto's open and he had an entire life worth of memories, techniques and training, love and sorrow.

"A great first step towards being complete, but you have more work to do" said Death

"Tell me what I have to do" said Naruto, his mind felt fuzzy and he didn't have the strength to fight against the commands of Death.

"You lost much, but to defeat the man who calls himself the Champion of Death, you'll need what has been taken"

Naruto nodded and the sword in his hands glowed green and he was zipped away once again.

MATS Timeline: Civil War 4

Natasha felt warm and feverish, her body weak and unmovable.

'You can't take her, I need her' hissed a voice that sounded a lot like Naruto's in the back of her head.

'I have to, it's her time. If I take her, you'll never succeed' said another voice, this one sounding timeless and female

'Please don't do this, you said I could defeat him. I can't do it without her. Tell me who did this, let me avenge her' pleaded Naruto, but even Natasha as faint as she was could tell it fell on Death's ears.

'This is goodbye Naruto, I was nice enough to give you a moment, and remember a tail of anger and vengeful spit will get you nowhere' said the female voice with a tone of finality.

'Naruto, I love you and I will never stop, but I feel like this is it. I have nothing left' thought Natasha

'I will find a way to bring you back' promised Naruto

Natasha smiled as her chest spasmed 'I know'

She took her last breath and her chest never rose again, her eyes staring emptily at the ceiling as her last view of this world was Yelena's cold eyes staring back at her.

But as she started to drift off, a green ripple appeared above her and Naruto dropped out of it. Well a version of Naruto, this one was a bit older than the one that she was used to seeing.

His hand glowed with a golden energy that just being near Natasha made her heart start beating again, her lungs greedily sucking in air once more and the haziness of her mind cleared up once more.

'What is Naruto doing here? I was just talking to him as I was dying' thought Natasha as she saw Naruto kick Yelena away, sending the Blonde Widow flying away.

Naruto's golden hand was covered in Ying-Yang Chakra, the ultimate healing source in all of the Shinobi powers. The knowledge gifted to him by Death to prevent just that ... death.

He put his hand on Natasha's naked sternum and her body absorbed the life giving energy, the numerous needle marks, cuts and gashes closed. Her pale skin glowed back to her healthy tan, the waxy look leaving almost immediately.

Her chest perked back as her body was restored back to the condition that Naruto knew it to be. But he could still feel that blocked off section in her lower abdomen, where her ovaries were.

Naruto snarled as he reversed the horror that they had done to Natasha ... His Natasha.

He let the energy fade from his hand and he looked at Natasha and tears filled his eyes.

"You're alive" he whispered as he pulled her into a tight hug, his body shaking as he let his tears fall.

"You saved me" said Natasha in a weak voice in his ear.

Naruto pulled back and kissed her with more emotion than she had ever felt from him before. He was aggressive, his tongue swiped over her bottom lip begging for entrance to her mouth.

She pushed him back, ending the kiss. She looked into his eyes, finding unspilled tears in his eyes. But she looked pasted the bubbled up cleared droplets and found an emptiness that she had not seen in his eyes before.

"You're not the Naruto that I know" she said

Naruto nodded

"You're older" noted Natasha

"We're both 30 now" said Naruto

Yelena groaned from her spot in the wall where Naruto had kicked her several inches deep into the stone wall.

Naruto took that as his sign to make a move, grabbing Natasha's hand. Ignoring her naked form, he looked at Yelena and a cloned popped into existence and quickly stripped Yelena of her clothes, leaving the blonde widow in her underwear.

Natasha slipped on the black body suit and without hesitation put on the vest on as well.

Seeing the look Naruto was giving her, Natasha shrugged "What? I like the number of pockets on this one"

Naruto rolled his eyes and said "Sure, we got a couple of stops to make before we get to where we need to be"

Natasha slipped her hand into his and the sword on his back glowed green and the two of them were zipped away.

MATS Timeline: Chapter 14

"Now that should lev-" the Winter Solider had started to talk only for Naruto to punch him in the face, the blond not actually needing the sword to win the fight.

"You talk to much" muttered Naruto before he slammed his fist into the pale assassin's face again, breaking his nose in a flood of blood, before twin finger jab to the throat caused the Winter Solider to cough as his airway suddenly clogged as the blood from the broken nose was forced to travel down the back of his throat.

A kick to the ribs bent the WS over at the waist only for Naruto grab him by the back of head and introduce him to his other knee. Grabbing the Hydra agent by the hair, Naruto jerked him backwards and sent him crashing to his back where he walked up to the beaten man and put his foot on his chest before slamming it down, causing the man to wheeze as his ribs protested the rough treatment they were receiving from Naruto.

Naruto slammed his foot on his chest once more before moving it to the man's face, a sign of disrespect and total domination of the Winter Solider before he moved it down to the man's neck. The Winter Solider managed to get his hands under the foot, but the beaten man lack the raw strength to do anything other than prevent the blond SHIELD agent from crushing his neck.

"You know for a super assassin, you sure don't seem to be that keen on dealing with death" commented Naruto as he continued to apply pressure, the man's hands slowly giving ground to the blond's super strength.

"Who ever really wants to die?" challenged the man on the ground

Naruto made a face as if he was considering it before in one fluid motion, removed his foot from the man's hands and kicked him across the face, finally sending the face mask flying from the man's face.

"So this is the face of the sorry son of a bitch who thought that he could kill me." said Naruto, his foot back in position to crush the man's neck before he continued on to say "You know, if you were going to take a shot at a king, they say you send a warrior. If you want to take a shot at a warrior, you send a prayer to your God."

The blond didn't speak as he let the Hydra assassin chew over his words, before he tapped his right wrist and his sword came flying back to his hand, magnetically controlled by his wrist PDA.

"I wish I could say that you are going to a better place, but I think you know that would be a lie" said Naruto as he raised his sword and made to thrust it down.

A green rip in the sky above Naruto from killing WS and he stepped off of the downed Hydra and jumped backwards to avoid the twin figures that fell down from the sky and landed next to Bucky.

"I'm going to need you to not murder this metal armed bitch" said the older Naruto

The younger Naruto raised an eyebrow before shrugging and sheathing his sword.

Natasha frowned "You're going to give up that easily?"

The younger Naruto shrugged again, "An older version of me said not too, that's good enough from me"

The older Naruto stuck his bottom lip out sucking on his top lip but nodded in agreement before as his younger counterpart walked away before he looked down on Bucky and tsk'd.

His hand glowed with the golden Ying-Yang Chakra once more and he touched Bucky's head and healed him of all of the Hydra's brain washing, freeing Steve's best friend from the mind control placed by Hydra.

Bucky blinked as he woke up as himself for the first time in decades.

"You ok or do I have to kick your ass?" asked Naruto

"Better than ok" said Bucky as his eyes took on lazy look rather than the hyper focused look of the Winter Soldier.

A pink rip in the sky opened above the three of them and out dropped a pale white girl with long blonde hair in a black body suit with a large X over her chest. Along with her was what Naruto could sense was Wade Wilson inside the red and black suit.

"So, it is the Great Naruto Uzumaki who is slowly but surely destroying multiple timelines" spoke the girl in soft Russian accent if there was one.

"I told you" said Wade

"Shut up Deadpool" replied the blonde Russian woman

"Sorry Magik" replied Wade

Naruto frowned "These timelines only exist because I am hopping from timeline to timeline, there shouldn't be an issue with any of what I'm going"

Magik made a face that Naruto couldn't read and asked "What is your endgame here?"

"To kill Thanos" declared Naruto

Magik smiled "Great, than you are the Naruto Uzumaki that we are looking for"

She turned to Wade, "Give him the gift"

Wade nodded and his form glowed with the red chakra of Kurama before the chakra cloak leapt from his body to Naruto's. The energy sunk into Naruto's body and it his form was covered in a slightly different version of the KCM form that he was used to, this one was more of a deep orange than a yellow.

"This is a version of Kurama from our timeline, one in which Naruto Uzumaki get corrupted by his power and takes over the universe after killing Thanos. The issue is that he did this before Thanos makes the snap in Wakanda" explained Magik

Naruto tilted his head "yeah I don't have that in me"

Magik smiled, "I know"

Naruto's sword glowed green once more and Naruto knew that this was it/ The sword was humming with energy and Naruto felt the world around him shift once more.

There was a green rip before him and and his 4 teammates dropped from the ground in a 1-2-3 triangle formation, with him taking that lead position. Naruto was the closest to Thanos.

"I'm sorry about being late to the party, but I had to go grab some of my friends" said Naruto, his voice full of power and authority, he looked different than most of the Avengers had ever seen him.

Naruto heard a gasp as people realized that it was more than just him that had come out the portal. It was Natasha, Wade, Bucky, and the newcomer Magik as well. Most of the world knew three of the four people with as some of the most deadly people in the world.

Thanos looked Naruto with glee in his eyes, while Naruto had nothing but determination in his eyes. They met and Naruto found himself calmer than he had imagined he would be in the moment.

"The Maelstrom" greeted Thanos

"The purple bitch who I've been chasing across the universe" said Naruto

"I broke your neck once, I will rip your head off this time" tsk' Thanos as a smirk graced his face

"It's been a long five years, I'm not the same as I once was," replied Naruto as the world started to shake around him and he entered KCM mode, but this time instead of a yellow energy cloak, he glowed a deep orange.

Thanos' smirk left his face but he still looked confident.

"May the best man win" said the Titan

A/N: And part 2 of 5 Years So Far is complete. There will not be a chapter 3 for this. The first part of the Endgame chapter will recap Thanos' and the Avenger's expect Naruto and Peter's path to this chapter.

Alot of people have asked me if this is it. I don't know tbh, i want to be able to say if this is where I end the story but I don't know. Spider-Man No Way Home was great. it makes me want to explore my Spider-Man more.

I did have this Naruto absorb the Stuck on Red Version of Naruto from my story Stuck on Red. That story will have an update coming in Feb for any fans of that story reading this story.

I will say that when the last chapter of Endgame comes out if that is the end or not. Once again, this has been a great journey for us to have gone on together. With roughly 733 views, this has been my most successful story by far. Despite how rude some of yall can be, it has been the ultimate pleasure to write for you guys.

We are in the Endgame now
