Hey Guys,

This is a rewrite of The Ones that got away, with a slightly more serious and a slightly less serious approach. You may also notice that this does not feature Sakura's Pregnancy.

Team 7 will also be OP in this fanfic, as I intend for them to breeze through most of the cannon story line up until the war, and it is intended to be funny at some points.

Disclaimer: Naruto and all of its characters and plots are owned by Masashi Kishimoto.

To Go Back:

'Speech' – Bijuu

'Speech' – thoughts

'speech' – Jutsu (only in dialogue)

'speech' – radios

Prologue: To a new future

Namikaze Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Sakura were standing at the gates of Konohagakure, imagining their home as it once was; lively and flourishing. But now it was just a waste land, full of sick and dying people.

The Fourth Shinobi world war was won. But then a new tragedy struck. With Otsutsuki Kaguya's sealing the white Zetsu spread throughout the elemental nations, and as they died they released a poison into the earth and the water. As it spread throughout the villages it decimated the population and by the time the poison had been found, most of the villages had died, and those who were affected were too far gone to be helped.

"Do you think it will work?" Sakura asked as she clutched her husband's hand. She was wearing a dark blue kimono top with camouflage cargo pants and black heeled sandals. Her hitai-ate was tied around her forehead and her waist length hair was tied in a high pony tail.

"As long as we stick to the plan, everything will be fine," Sasuke said. His sword was concealed by his black cloak, which was covering his white jacket and black shirt. His hair was in its usual style, but his hitai-ate was tied firmly around his forehead.

"We were given this jutsu to give the world a second chance, and that is what we have to do," Naruto said as he cast his eyes down to the monument. It was a piece of wood carved into the Konoha leaf, and it contained all of the names of the people who had been killed by the Zetsu Poison.

"I think I see Tsunade and Shizune now," Naruto said as he pointed to a moving shadow in the distance. He looked so much like his father, wearing a black cloak with red flames atop his black jumpsuit. His hitai-ate was keeping his hair away from his face from it position tied tightly to his forehead. As the shadow got closer it began to take the form of two women wearing cloaks.

"Tsunade-sama, Shizune-san, are we ready to leave?" Sakura asked as she moved towards her shishou and her sister figure. Tsunade removed her hood to reveal her slightly aged face;

"Once the jutsu is cast we will all be sent back to the day before you become Genin," She said as she began pulling paper seals out of a pouch on her leg, "Our consciousness will end up in our younger bodies, and we will have all of the chakra that we have accumulated throughout the years." Shizune began placing the seals in a pentagon formation, which began to glow in a faint blue light.

"However, you may find the first few days a little bit inconvenient and stressful, as your body gets used to the amount of chakra you will be receiving."

Once all of the seals were placed Shizune began manoeuvring them into their positions on the pentagon that had been formed. Tsunade was at the top of the pentagon, while Sasuke and Naruto were on opposite sides, with Shizune and Sakura after them.

"Naruto you are going to be providing the Yang chakra, while Sasuke will be providing the Yin chakra," Tsunade said as they all began the seal sequence they had memorised, "Sakura, Shizune and I will be controlling the chakra output of the seals to ensure that the jutsu is cast properly, and remember it will take a week for Shizune and I to reach Konoha, so try and stay out of trouble."

"Ninpo: Shōni fukkatsu!" As Tsunade cast the jutsu, everyone's vision began to go black. With his last look at the future they were trying to change Naruto looked at one name on the memorial:

Namikaze Hinata

With Sasuke:

In a small apartment on the outskirts of the Uchiha compound, Uchiha Sasuke bolted out of his bed and into the bathroom. As soon as he was inside he looked in the mirror. Staring back at him was one black eye, and one purple Rinnegan…on a distinctly younger face than he remembered.

As soon as he was dressed and ready to leave the house he ran to team 7's usual training ground, hoping that everyone would be there. As soon as he arrived he saw that Naruto and Sakura were there looking as dishevelled as he probably looked from their rush to the training grounds. Sakura had the distinctive Purple diamond on her forehead, which she had hidden with her bangs, and Naruto and Sasuke both had the marks that they had received from the Rikudo Sennin on their palms.

"It worked," Sakura said as she sat on the grass, looking around at the forest that was green and luscious, full of life.

"That means we can make sure The Zetsu Poison Incident never happens," Naruto said as took a seat beside her, with Sasuke sitting on her other side. He also took a scroll out of his pocket, which contained two keys.

"When we all become genin in a week I want you two to move in with me. It will be easier to work on changing the future if we are together for as long as possible," Sasuke said as he handed each of them a key. They spent the next hour speaking about the changes they wanted to make to the future, and were about to leave when a sharp stabbing pain coursed through Sakura's body.

"AAAGH" she cried as she fell to the ground. Sasuke and Naruto were by her side immediately, and were about to lift her When the same pain overcame them. They collapsed to the floor, before all three of them lost consciousness.
