Normal POV
As the three of them left Naruto's home, Sakura and Kakashi decided it would be best to head home and rest since it was already afternoon. However, Sasuke had other plans.

Sasuke's POV
As Sasuke walked away from Naruto's house and headed toward the Uchiha compound, a thought struck him. Insted of going home he decided to visit the Uchiha clan library—a place he had never explored before.
The library had always intrigued him. Growing up, he'd heard stories of the vast knowledge and secrets stored within its walls.
However, his circumstances had never allowed him to visit. First, he left the village to train with Orochimaru to get his revenge on Itachi . Later, when he returned, the library, along with much of the Uchiha compound, was destroyed during Pain's assault on Konoha and was rebuilt into houses for the new people who came to leaf village sealing Asylum .
The library itself was located underground, beneath a decrepit building in the eastern part of the Uchiha compound, near the former Uchiha Police Force headquarters.
Before the massacre, the building had been heavily guarded—no less than 50 Uchiha shinobi stationed there at all times. But after the tragedy, it had been abandoned, forgotten like so many other remnants of his clan.
As Sasuke approached the building, he saw it was in even worse condition than he had imagined. The windows were shattered, with shards of glass scattered on the ground. Deep cracks ran along the walls, and the paint had peeled away, exposing the weathered wood underneath. The air was thick with the scent of mildew and decay.
Stealing himself, Sasuke entered through the creaking main door. Inside, he found a set of stairs leading downward, blocked by an old, ornate door. Activating his Sharingan, he examined the door and noticed the same symbol that adorned the entrance to the Uchiha shrine.
He performed the familiar hand seals to see if the gate would open or not a: Ram Ox Dragon Horse.
With a deep rumble, the door split into two and slid apart, revealing a dimly lit staircase spiraling down into the earth. Torches lining the walls flickered to life, casting eerie shadows as Sasuke descended.
At the bottom of the staircase, he entered a massive, spacious room filled with rows upon rows of shelves. Dust hung heavy in the air, undisturbed for years. Curious, Sasuke approached the nearelst shelf, pulled out a scroll, and opened it.
The scroll contained a detailed explanation of the Water Style: Water Wall Jutsu—its rank, hand seals, chakra flow, and application. What caught his attention was the signature at the bottom: Kagami Uchiha.
Sasuke's mind raced. Kagami Uchiha was Shisui's grandfather—a man he had heard about only in passing. It was a reminder correctly he was the team mate of sandaime hokage and danzo .
Intrigued, Sasuke moved to another shelf and selected a much older-looking scroll. As he opened it, his eyes widened in disbelief.
This scroll described the Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation Jutsu, complete with its rank, chakra manipulation, and hand seals , how or is performed and its application . But the shocking part wasn't the technique—it was the name signed at the bottom: Madara Uchiha.
"This scroll must be written by him before he defected the leaf village " Sasuke murmured to himself.
He carefully returned the scroll to its place, his thoughts a whirlwind of questions and revelations. As he continued exploring, he found countless scrolls detailing various jutsu—spanning all elemental affinities, genjutsu techniques, and even advanced taijutsu forms as well as some fūinjutsu scrolls .
While checking shelfs and scanning the room with his Sharingan, something unusual caught his attention at the far end of the library. Letters, faint and barely visible, were etched into the wall.
Curious, Sasuke activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, and the symbols became clear and sharp . They formed an intricate sequence of hand seals—more than a hundred in total.
Seeing them Sasuke began performing the seals, his hands moving swiftly and precisely. As he completed the sequence, the wall began to shift, sliding downward to reveal a hidden chamber.
--
The Hidden Chamber
The room was shrouded in darkness, but as Sasuke stepped inside, torches along the walls flared to life. In the center stood a pedestal, upon which rested two large scrolls and two smaller scrolls.
Sasuke reached for the first small scroll and unrolled it. It listed the names of every Uchiha clan head since the Warring States Era. At the top of the list was Tajima Uchiha, the father of Madara Uchiha. The final name on the scroll was his father's: Fugaku Uchiha, along with the date he had become clan head.
Folding the scroll carefully, Sasuke picked up the second small scroll. This one left him stunned—it was written by Madara Uchiha himself.
The scroll read:
"If you are reading this, it means you have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, the pinnacle of our clan's power. While these eyes grant unparalleled strength, they come at a cost—the light in your eyes will fade with excessive use. But there is a way to overcome this: by transplanting the eyes of a sibling or parent, you can achieve the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Not only will your vision be restored, but your power will increase, combining your abilities with those of the donor."
Signed: Madara Uchiha
Sasuke's mind swirled with confusion. If Madara had left such clear instructions, why hadn't the clan followed them ? Was it pride, ignorance, or something else entirely or for the clan did not believe in his words ?
Setting the scroll aside, he turned to the larger ones. The first was a ledger detailing the clan's expenses and finances since the founding of Konoha. At the bottom was the total amount in the Uchiha clan's bank account: 9 billion ryō.
Sasuke was stunned as he stared at the figure. He did not know that his clan had this much wealth below there were detailed bank account information for the Fire Nation Bank in which the money was held , confirming its validity.
Sasuke wondered where all that money went last time since he had not known about it before coming back to the past
Finally, Sasuke reached for the ornate white-and-gray scroll. A sigil of a massive bird wreathed in electricity marked its surface. Unrolling it, Sasuke confirmed his suspicions—it was a summoning scroll.
But the first name that he read in the scroll shocked him he was speechless. How had the clan possessed such a powerful summoning contract, and why had it remained unused for so long
The first name on the scroll was Indra Ōtsutsuki, followed by Kagami Uchiha.
Why had only one person signed it after Indra ōutsusuki
Rolling the scroll back he carefully placed the scroll back on the pedestal, he left the chamber and exited the library. His mind was abuzz with questions, and possibilities about this new future . He had much to think about .

As Naruto woke up the next day, he found himself lying in the living room of his parents house . The sunlight streaming through the window made him squint as he slowly got up. His gaze landed on the clock hanging on the wall—it was 7:00 a.m. He rubbed his eyes and stretched, feeling the stiffness in his body from sleeping on a thin mattress . Closing his eyes once more, he slipped into his mindscape, a familiar space where Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox, resided.
Kurama was curled up in his usual resting position, snoring lightly. Naruto wasted no time, running up to him and shouting, "Kurama, wake up! I need to talk to you!"
The massive fox opened one eye lazily, his gaze resting on Naruto. "So, you're finally awake. How do you feel?" Kurama asked, his deep voice echoing in the vast mindscape.
Naruto frowned in thought before replying, "I don't feel any different. Is the seal working properly or not?"
"The seal is functioning perfectly," Kurama reassured him. "You're now at one hundred percent of your chakra capacity. Your chakra core has stabilized and has stopped pulsing and generating excess chakra it will only generate chakra till the limit set by the seal is reached ."
Naruto crossed his arms and asked, "How long will I have to wear this seal? Do I have to keep it for my entire life?"
Kurama huffed, his tails swishing behind him. "No, you won't have to wear it for your entire life. Once you gain perfect chakra control over the enormous reserves you have, you can safely remove it. Here's what you should do: assign ten shadow clones every day to train in chakra control for four hours. This way, your chakra control will improve steadily, and your body will have time to adapt as well. If my estimates are correct, by the time you turn sixteen, you should have perfect control over your chakra reserves, and your body will have fully matured to handle any increase in chakra reserves."
Naruto nodded, processing the plan. "Fine, I'll do that. But what about your chakra? Did the seal affect it in any way?"
Kurama shook his head. "No, the seal didn't affect my chakra. My chakra is still separated from yours."
"Good to know," Naruto said with a sigh of relief. "Alright, I'll wake up and see if I can still gather nature chakra properly."
With that, Naruto exited his mindscape, his consciousness returning to his body. He sat up straight on the floor, closed his eyes, and brought his hands together in a meditative position.
Opening his senses to the world around him, he began to feel the flow of nature chakra permeating the environment. Slowly, he started collecting it, his mind focusing solely on the task.
Naruto silently counted the seconds as the energy gathered within him. It took exactly one minute and three seconds for him to enter Sage Mode which was far longer time than he was accustomed to. Frowning slightly, he resolved to work on reducing this time.
Still in Sage Mode, Naruto stood and made his way to the bathroom. Stopping by the mirror, he glanced at his reflection and his theory was confirmed.
His sage markings have changed he has been wondering if they will look the same as before or not and he was proven correct they were different ; instead of the toad-like eyes with orange pigment around them, his pupils had turned golden, and the markings around his eyes were now red, resembling tear-like patterns extending below his eyes.
Curious, he removed his shirt and turned his back to the mirror. There, he saw the new seal. It was positioned on his back, the same place where his jinchūriki is located on his stomach .
The seal was an octagon with eight points connected to a central kanji for "Stop."
After inspecting his appearance, Naruto decided to freshen up. But before going to the bath he created a shadow clone and told him to bring a new set of clothes from his apartment
He turned on the shower, letting the warm water cascade over him, washing away the fatigue from his body. It took him half an hour to bathe and clean himself thoroughly.
By the time he stepped out, his shadow clone which he had sent to his apartment had already dispelled, transferring its memories to him.
Naruto dressed in a black t-shirt and orange shorts. Feeling refreshed, he headed to the kitchen to look for breakfast.
Opening one of the shelves, he found several packets of instant ramen and dumplings, but upon closer inspection, he noticed they were all past their expiration dates.
Sighing, he moved to the refrigerator. The moment he opened it, a foul smell hit him like a punch to the face. Grimacing, he quickly shut the door.
"There's nothing edible here," Naruto muttered to himself. Determined to eat something decent, he decided to head to Ichiraku Ramen. Before leaving, he created four shadow clones and instructed them to clean the kitchen and the house thoroughly.
Leaving the kitchen, Naruto decided to explore his new home . The first place which he decided to check was his father's study.
The room was simple yet elegant, with a large desk and a chair behind it. On the side wall, a shelf was packed with numerous papers and scrolls.
Sitting in his father's chair, Naruto noticed a scroll addressed to him. The handwriting was unmistakably his father's, and the paper looked old, as if written just before his death.
Naruto opened the scroll and read:
"Naruto, if you are reading this, it means your mother and I did not survive the Nine-Tails attack. I am sorry you had to grow up alone and that you did not experience our love. But know this: no matter what happens, we will always love you. There are some important things you need to know in case we are not there for you.
Firstly, your mother is the last surviving member of the royal family of Uzushiogakure, which makes you the clan heir of the Uzumaki clan. If your mother does not survive, you will be its clan head. You will need to become a chunin to take your seat on the clan council and officially become the clan head.
Do not let anyone take advantage of you.
Secondly, your mother and I were powerful ninjas, which means we had many enemies outside the village. Some of our enemies may target you because you are our son, so you must always be cautious.
Lastly, your mother and I have left you a sizable inheritance so you won't have to worry about anything.
Go to our bedroom. Above the bed, there is a photo of your mother and me. Behind that photo is a blood-sealed safe. It will recognize your blood and should open for you. Inside, you'll find many things that will help you.
P.S. Handle your money with care, and don't forget: no matter what happens, your mother and I will always love you.
Your dad,
Minato Namikaze."
Naruto felt a lump in his throat as he finished reading. The faces of his parents flashing before him
After taking a moment to collect himself, he continued exploring the study. He found many scrolls dating back to when his father was Hokage .
He found some empty storage scrolls in one of the desk drawers.
The next thing he found left him Amused, he found a signed copy of Icha Icha Paradise by Jiraiya.
After thoroughly exploring the study, Naruto decided to check the blood-sealed safe in his parents' room. Before leaving, he created four shadow clones, handed them the storage scrolls, and instructed them to pack all his belongings from his apartment.
Naruto climbed the stairs to his parents' room. The door creaked as he opened it, revealing an elegant space with a king-sized bed covered in pristine white linens. On the right side was a walk-in closet, and just as his father had mentioned, there was a photo of Minato and Kushina, taken when she was pregnant with him. Naruto climbed onto the bed, removed the photo from its hook, and found the blood-sealed safe behind it.
Biting his thumb, he pressed his bloodied thumb to the center of the seal. The wall section slid down, revealing three envelopes and a small jewelry box. Naruto carefully removed the items and sat on the bed to examine them.
Opening the jewelry box first, he found a diamond ring engraved with the kanji for "Union." It was undoubtedly his mother's engagement ring. He closed the box gently, setting it aside.
The first envelope bore the symbol of the Fire Nation's daimyo. Inside was a letter addressed to Kushina:
"Kushina,
I am sorry for your loss. The annihilation of Uzushiogakure was unexpected. You have my condolences. I am writing to inform you that as the last member of the Uzumaki royal family, you are the sole inheritor of all Uzushiogakure lands. Just before the destruction of the village, the Sandaime Uzukage sent me a scroll stating that, in the event of his death, you would be the next in line to inherit these lands. He also sent a scroll addressed to you. Until you come to claim your right, I will guard the Uzumaki lands.
Your Fire Daimyo."
Naruto's eyes widened as he read. He hadn't known his mother was the sole inheritor of Uzushiogakure's lands. He wondered if she had ever claimed her right as clan head.
The second envelope was from the Bank of the Fire Nation, stating that Minato and Kushina had named him their nominee for their joint bank account. If anything happened to them, all their assets would go to him. The third envelope, written in Minato's handwriting, contained detailed instructions about accessing the bank account, including passwords and a shocking revelation: his parents had left him 300 million ryo. Naruto was stunned, unable to fathom how his parents had amassed such wealth.
After reading everything, Naruto carefully returned the items to the safe, rehung the photo, and left the room. As he descended the stairs, he received the memories of his clones, who had successfully packed his belongings and returned.
Back in the living room, Naruto created four new clones and instructed them to redecorate his room with his belongings. With that done, he left the house and headed to Ichiraku Ramen for breakfast.

Normal POV
As Naruto strolled through the village, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched. It was more than just a lingering presence; it felt as though ill intent was directed at him. At first, he was confused, unable to pinpoint anyone specific. However, as he looked around, the realization dawned on him—the source of this hostility came from the villagers glaring at him with disdain.
The sharpness of their gazes hit him like a cold wind, making him pause in his tracks. For a moment, he wondered why they were acting this way. Then it struck him. He had forgotten how it felt to be hated for something beyond his control—for being the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. The memories of his past resurfaced, bringing with them a familiar pang of pain. It had been years since he'd felt such resentment, and it was as bitter now as it was back then.
In search of solace, he made his way to Ichiraku Ramen, a place where he knew he would be welcomed. The stand was empty, and for once, there were no judgmental eyes on him.
"Hi, Teuchi-ojisan. One serving of miso ramen, please," Naruto said as he took a seat.
Teuchi turned toward him with a warm smile. "Coming right up, Naruto. How've you been?"
"I'm fine, Teuchi-ojisan. I just graduated from the ninja academy," Naruto replied with a grin.
"Nice, nice. Congratulations on that! I'll bring your order out soon. Ayame, why don't you go talk to him while I get the ramen ready?"
Hearing her father's suggestion, Ayame nodded and stepped out of the kitchen. When she saw Naruto sitting at the counter, she greeted him warmly. "How are you, Naruto?"
"I'm fine, Ayame-neechan. I just graduated from the academy and am heading to meet my team at Training Ground 7," Naruto replied cheerfully.
"Good for you! So, you finally graduated, huh? That's great news! Make sure to be a fantastic ninja," Ayame said, her smile full of encouragement.
Soon after, Teuchi came out with the steaming bowl of miso ramen. Naruto wasted no time devouring it, savoring every bite. After finishing his meal and paying for it, he thanked them both and left for Training Ground 7.
When he arrived at the training ground, he saw Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke already waiting for him.
"Hi! Am I late, or did you all come early?" Naruto asked, tilting his head in confusion.
"No, you're not late. We just decided to come a bit early. If you hadn't shown up, we were about to come check on you," Sakura replied.
"By the way, Naruto, how's the sealing process going? Is the seal working fine?" Kakashi inquired, his tone filled with genuine concern.
Naruto nodded. "Yes, sensei. The sealing process went well, and the seal is working perfectly. My chakra core has stopped pulsing and generating excess chakra. According to Kurama, I should be able to remove it by the time I turn sixteen. By then, I'll need to have perfect chakra control, and my body will also be fully developed."
"Good to hear. Let's get started with training. Once we finish for the morning, we'll head to the Hokage's office to collect our mission for the day," Kakashi said, clapping his hands to gather their attention.
He glanced at the three of them and then turned to Sasuke. "Sasuke, come here for a moment."
As Sasuke stepped forward, Kakashi explained, "I'm going to apply the chakra-locking seal on you. Once your physical training is complete, you'll be able to release it."
Kakashi performed a series of hand signs before placing his palm on Sasuke's arm. Almost immediately, a seal appeared on Sasuke's arm, forming the kanji for 'lock.' Sasuke frowned as he tried to access his chakra, only to find it unresponsive.
"How do I release it?" Sasuke asked, his tone betraying a mix of curiosity and irritation.
"To release the seal, form the Ram hand sign, say 'Release,' and pulse your chakra. To reapply the seal, form the Snake hand sign, say 'Lock,' and pulse your chakra again," Kakashi instructed.
Sasuke nodded, and Kakashi addressed the team. "Alright, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura—start running laps around the training field."
As the three began their laps, Naruto created ten shadow clones and instructed them to focus on chakra control exercises. "Start with the leaf-balancing exercise and move on to more advanced techniques," he told them.
While his clones trained in one corner of the field, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura continued running under Kakashi's watchful eye. Kakashi, meanwhile, sat in the center of the field, closing his eyes and concentrating on converting his chakra into lightning nature to improve his mastery of Lightning Release techniques.
--
Four hours passed, and in that time, the team's progress was evident. Sakura had completed her laps and moved on to advanced chakra control exercises, aiming to expand her chakra reserves. Sasuke, after finishing his running, practiced swordsmanship and created two shadow clones to train in Lightning and Fire Release techniques.
Naruto, on the other hand, had created ten more clones to train in Wind Release alongside the original ten, who continued their chakra control exercises. The original Naruto sat in a meditative pose, absorbing nature chakra and repeatedly entering Sage Mode to reduce the time it took him to achieve it.
When Kakashi finally called an end to their training, the team regrouped and headed to the Hokage's office to receive their mission for the day. Naruto and Sasuke dispelled their shadow clones before following Kakashi.
The Hokage's office was located on the second floor of the tower, where Iruka and two other chunin were assisting with assigning missions. As Team 7 entered, the Hokage greeted them warmly.
"Ah, Team 7. Welcome. I take it this is your first mission as a team?" the Hokage asked, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
"Yes, Lord Hokage. This will be their first mission as a team," Kakashi replied.
"Well then, I have a very special mission for you. You'll be tasked with catching the Fire Daimyo's cat, Tora," the Hokage announced.
At the mention of the cat's name, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all groaned inwardly. They didn't need to be reminded of their past experience with the troublesome feline.
"The cat is wearing a red ribbon on its ear, which should make it easier to identify," the Hokage added. Iruka handed Kakashi a photograph of the cat, and the team reluctantly accepted the mission.
Outside the tower, Sasuke voiced his frustration. "Kakashi, do we really have to catch that cat again and complete all these D-rank missions?"
"Yes, Sasuke. We have to redo all the D-rank missions before moving on to more significant assignments," Kakashi replied, his tone matter-of-fact.
"But sensei, you know what we're capable of. Surely we can skip to something more challenging this time," Naruto argued, crossing his arms.
Kakashi shook his head. "Naruto, Sasuke, this is one of the disadvantages of time travel. The people around us don't know what we're capable of. We need to go through the motions and build up our reputation all over again."
Sakura, unable to contain her frustration, punched the ground with all her strength, creating a massive crater. The sight of her superhuman display left Naruto and Sasuke cowering behind Kakashi like frightened children.
"Come on, guys," Sakura muttered, exasperated.
"Now, now, Sakura," Kakashi said, raising his hands in a placating gesture. "Let's not draw unnecessary attention. We don't want anyone to know what we're truly capable of just yet. Let's finish this mission first, and then we can discuss the changes we plan to make to prevent the future we've seen."
With that, Team 7 set off to locate the elusive Tora, mentally bracing themselves for the challenges ahead.
Authors note
Sorry for updating this late I was working on other things
Now there are few ideas i have regarding this fic
Comment what do you think
1) should Sakura be killed by orochimaru and revived later on or not
2) should Naruto depend on kurama to fight sasuke susanoo or have his own chakra contract other then kurama
3) should he release kurama or not from his body
