Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto just this story

Naruto's on his knees clutching onto the love of his life Sakura Haruno, he's loved her for years but could never tell her because she loved someone else. Naruto was fighting against Madara whilst his friends were getting cut down left right and center. Naruto and Sakura were the last remaining members of Konoha.

The war against Akatsuki was just brutal, all Naruto's friends fighting for their lives and even when Sasuke re-joined the leaf it didn't change much as Team Taki were also cut down systematically until it was only the original Team 7 of Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha.

They all fought bravely even when Sasuke had half of his body ripped off he continued fighting until he was cut down by Kisame. As for Naruto and Sakura, they tried but it was too much Naruto took a sword through his chest and although Sakura managed to help him it was inevitable what the outcome would be.

A short while earlier Madara tossed Sakura into a tree knocking her unconscious and Naruto lost it but even with Kurama's help it wasn't enough and when Naruto got badly burned by Madara's "Katon: Karyu Endan (Fire Release Fire Dragon Flame Bullet) Naruto wouldn't give up he would die trying.

He's on his knees after dodging some of the Karyu Endan he still got badly burned and somehow he wasn't healing. Kurama wouldn't talk to him for some reason so Naruto had to do what he could. He's breathing heavily feeling his life draining away he looks over at Sakura who's still unconscious then back to Madara.

Unfortunately, his little look at Sakura was all that Madara needed and as Naruto turned to face him Madara was already upon him ready to impale him through the chest. Unfortunately, Sakura also had other ideas and took the hit for Naruto.

She managed to catch Madara with one of her Chakra enhanced hits and knocks him flying away. Naruto although badly burned rushes to her and catches her before she falls. She looks into Naruto's Cerulean blue eyes she sees he's crying she knows he loves her and for years she denied it but now she knows she loves him also.

She's too ashamed to admit it after the last time when she told him and he thought she was manipulating him maybe she was that time but not this time.

Her feelings changed years ago actually the day he returned from his training trip, of course, she tried to ignore it she knows she's dying she saw Madara about to stab Naruto and she couldn't allow that she wanted to save him for once.

They both knew this was their last battle everyone they've ever known and loved has fallen when Sasuke returned she had mixed emotions she was happy but angry she didn't love him anymore how could she love someone so cold hearted.

In the end, he died also and now it's her turn dying beside the man she loves but can never tell. She wishes things were different she wishes she could go back in time and throttle her 12-year-old self for being such a bitch to her lover.

She dreamed of going on dates with Naruto and settling down getting married maybe a few kids but all that ended when the war started because the power hungry Madara Uchiha wanted world domination.

What is it with the damn Uchiha's and power? She reaches up and puts her hand on Naruto's cheek "I'm so sorry Naruto."

Naruto looks into her emerald green eyes "Why, Sakura, why do that for me you're going to die I failed to save anyone I can't lose you also."

Sakura smiles "I hate myself for how I treated you I wish I could change the past but I can't, can you do me one last favour before I die."

Naruto sniffs "Sure what is it Sakura-Chan."

She smiles "Kiss me."

Naruto is shocked he's dying he knows it what the hell is the damn fox doing he looks down and connects his lips to the girl's lips who he's always loved. They kiss for a few seconds before her hand that's on his cheek hits the floor and he knows she's gone.

He cries with her in his arms "Why, dammit, why, I loved you dammit why did you leave me why Sakura-Chan."

Kurama then speaks Naruto I have a way to save everyone.

Naruto growls 'Where the hell have you been dammit if you would have healed me Sakura-Chan wouldn't have died.'

Kurama scoffs Kit stop deluding yourself this was all or nothing fight you either won or died you both knew that, I know you loved your mate but do you want to know why I haven't been healing you and we better hurry Madara is coming around that Sakura really hits hard.

Naruto looks down still cradling his lover's lifeless body 'Fine go ahead.'

Kurama grins Funny that your mate talked about going back in time because I can send you back I've been building up enough Chakra for the last hour sorry you took such a beating but I can send you back to change the past to protect the future you can be with your mate again.

Naruto strokes Sakura's cheek 'Are you sure it will work.'

Kurama scoffs Doubting me now I thought we were past this yes it will work but this is a onetime deal If we do this you will return and I will return also to whenever it is you will have all your memories so you can take steps to change the past but like I said a one-time deal if it happens again I won't be able to do it again so you in and you better make your decision quickly Madara is a few minutes away and he's pissed.

Naruto sighs 'Having to watch Sakura fawn over Sasuke again crap but I could do a lot of difference with this knowledge 'Do It how long will it take.'

Kurama grins Well it's ready just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Madara growls "That stupid bitch packs quite a punch if she didn't die then I'm going to enjoy killing her." As he's talking he looks up and sees the Kid Naruto then he sees that damn Red Chakra encase him the cloak grows enormous then simply vanishes. Madara has to cover his eyes when he looks again Naruto's vanished. Madara's outraged "WHAT THE HELL DAMN YOU KYUUBI."

Konoha 6 Years Earlier.

Naruto sits up in bed 'Wow, hey, Kurama did it work.'

Kurama laughs Yea kit it worked and I have to tell you the look on Madara's face when we vanished was priceless now get some sleep how does it feel to be sleeping in a proper bed again but more importantly 12 again.

Naruto has already gotten out of bed and is looking in the mirror 'Well the bed is great being in this body again not so much damn I had a pudgy face back then well time to have a makeover I will work on everything learn as much as I can.'

Kurama grins And those hideous Orange jumpsuits are they getting burned.

Naruto chuckles 'When I said everything I meant everything man why did it take me so long to realize that Orange is just not cool, I mean you to, you know Kurama if you haven't noticed your kind of Orange yourself.'

Kurama growls You don't say brat I didn't notice now get some sleep Jiji's alive and he's gonna need a drink after you've told him everything.

Naruto chuckles 'Yeah you're right it will be good to see him again and I'll save him this time.'

Kurama nods What about the Emo-Uchiha you going to save his worthless carcass.

Naruto sighs 'Not sure Kurama although this Sasuke has not done the things he did in our time he's still the same power hungry idiot who wants Itachi dead.'

Kurama nods Good point I have a suggestion you hate Sasuke so how about changing what happens.

Naruto raises an eyebrow 'What do you mean.'

Kurama grins Make changes ask Jiji as you call him to not put you on Team 7 you have to admit it sucked and Sakura doesn't take her training seriously until that Uchiha scum has defected and you went on your training trip and you want to get stronger ask to be apprenticed under someone and watch the teams from the shadows.

Naruto nods 'I see the benefits a personal Sensei meaning I will be there whole focus but what about Sakura-Chan.'

Kurama grins Show her truly kick ass you are and the Uchiha will be nothing plus if you get really strong it will piss that Emo-Gaki off to no ends.

Naruto nods 'Yea that would be funny as hell, hey I will be saving other people also and I have an idea of two people who could help if there is a war year's from now.'

Kurama grins You mean Haku and Zabuza yea they could be useful allies don't forget Asuma you remember how much his team plus Kurenai was after his death.

Naruto nods 'Yea I remember I'll save everyone I can plus we can ruin Akatsuki's plans by getting messages to all the Jinchuriki they can get stronger and make it twice as hard for Akatsuki.'

Kurama grins Now you're using your head I'd advise you to confront Hinata early though you know how she stalked you.

Naruto is surprised 'She stalked me seriously I will have to let her down gently she's a nice girl just not the girl for me.'

Kurama nods It's for the best now get some rest.

Naruto yawns 'Yea your right man I need to eat better also will need to stock up on food after I speak to Jiji man he's going to flip out.'

Kurama nods He sure will.

Naruto Makes his way back to his bed and lays down and closes his eyes and quickly falls asleep.

When Naruto wakes up he takes a shower then eats some Ramen the last time he'll eat it for breakfast that's for sure. He then puts on the only Non-Orange clothes which are a white t-shirt with a swirl on the front and Black shorts "I really need more clothes."

Naruto leaves his apartment and heads to the Hokage Tower with a grin on his face 'Jiji I'm so going to freak you out, and man it will be funny.'

He arrives at the tower and heads in he smiles at the receptionist the only one that Jiji had who never treated him bad she was a kind lady.

She smiles "Why hello Naruto-Kun, why you look handsome today, did you hit your head, No Orange is the world ending."

Naruto chuckles "No, but this is only the first change for me."

She smiles "Well Hokage-Sama's in his office in you go."

Naruto smiles "Thanks, Kicho and have a nice day"

She smiles "Same to you Naruto-Kun."

He smiles "Oh I intend to." Naruto knocks and is told to enter.

Hiruzen looks up "Why Naruto-Kun what can I do for you on this fine day."

Naruto grins "Well I have a story to tell you Jiji so don't go having a heart attack during what I'm about to tell you, You'll, probably need to drink a hell of a lot of Sake afterward maybe just retire and make me the Hokage whilst you're at it. Oh, a privacy seal might be a good idea also."

Hiruzen nods and puts up the privacy seal and Naruto starts to blow Hiruzen's mind and afterward Sake will most likely be drunk and a lot of it.
