Well then, been a while since I've written anything, hasn't it? Like, a couple years at this point. Will I go back and finish the other stories I have up yet? Maybe.
Well, I feel a bit more like getting into writing, so here goes this story.
Things to know.
Naruto X DxD X Bleach, with minor crossovers of other stuff I shoved in here.
Will this be a harem? Yes. How many? Around 10. Maybe. Depends on how the story goes. Likely be more.
I'll be honest, I only know about DxD up to a certain point but considering I'm likely to completely abandon its cannon after a certain point anyway, its not that bid of a deal.

"Well then, looks like this is it…" said a tired voice.
"You sure this is going to work? Sure, the Sharingan's absurd ability the Izanagi allowed one to cheat death, but this Naruto?" Said a very deep voice, skeptical of what its companion was planning.
"Yeah, I'm sure… Kurama." Said Naruto, understanding why his friend would be concerned about his plan. After all, it wasn't everyday that one gathered dozens of Sharingan eyes implanted into the remains of the 10 tails body to act as a conduit, to use them to open a portal back in time.
Now normally someone like Naruto would never go so far as to experiment with the eyes that were harvested from people long since dead. But he had little choice in the matter. After all, considering there was virtually nothing left of the Elemental nations, what other recourse was there then to attempt going back in time and changing things?
Flashback.
During the battle with Kaguya, things had been going about as well as one could hope. He and Sasuke had been so close to sealing away Kaguya and ending things. Then things went straight to shit when two more Ōtsutsuki members arrived, Kinshiki and his foster son Momoshiki. Apparently these two were the reason why Kaguya had tried to make an army of Zetsu to fight against, as they planned on turning Kaguya into a 'Cinnabar Panacea', which would grant them greater power and an extended lifespan.
As expected, things quickly deteriorated when they showed up. There were not only Kaguya to contend with but seeing the power both Sasuke and Naruto were producing, they stated they were going to devour them as well. Then as if that wasn't bad enough, yet ANOTHER Ōtsutsuki clan member, this one being descended of Hamura, Hagaromo's brother, had shown up sensing the chakra of not three separate members of his clan. But he didn't come here for their chakra. Oh no. He came to stall them as he was going to drop the entire moon on them and kill everyone, as that was he said was his families purpose should Kaguya come back.
Things went downhill from there. During the fight, Naruto lost his left arm, and Sasuke suffered mortal wounds. So, they even had a chance at winning, Sasuke had Sakura transplant his left arm to Naruto, along with his Rinnegan eye, as his Sharingan has already been gouged out. Unfortunately, Momoshiki saw this and tried to kill them, but Kakashi got in his way. He tried to give Sakura as much time as she could to get Naruto's new parts connected properly, but Momoshiki proved to be too much for him, as Kakashi was then turned into what they called a Cinnabar panacea, essentially an overpowered chakra pill.
Before he could eat it however, Sakura interrupted him, as by this point Naruto's own chakra was beginning to stabilize itself with the new power he had gained and beginning to heal himself. However, Sakura eventually met the same fate as Kakashi and was turned into a chakra pill herself. Before he could eat this one however, Naruto had healed enough to get back into the fight. Not that it was much of one at that point.
The other Ōtsutsuki had exhausted themselves fighting one another and proved to be no match for a revitalized Naruto with both Yin and Yang of the six paths chakra, as well as a Rinnegan. Blinded in his rage, he tore Momoshiki to pieces for turning Kakashi and Sakura into glorified chakra pills, which was an irreversible thing. Next, he went after Kinshiki, as Toneri kept Kaguya occupied. Quickly figuring out his weakness was hand to hand combat, he proceeded to beat his face in till it looked no different then ground meat.
Then finally, it was Kaguya's turn, as she had defeated and taken the chakra of Toneri, as even with his Tensaigan, he was no match for Kaguya. And so, they engaged in battle once more. Though it soon came apparent that Kaguya was losing the battle. With the tailed beasts inside of her fighting her control, not to mention that the chakra she took from Toneri was not near enough to fully recover, her defeat came quickly and brutally.
Before finishing her off, he demanded she release the infinite Tsukuyomi and free everyone. But the answer he got filled him with dread. She explained that upon the arrival of Momoshiki and Kinshiki, she sped up the process of turning everyone into Zetsu to help her defeat everyone. By this point everyone would have been turned into the clones, with no way of turning them back. In his rage and mounting despair, he activated the Rinnegan to read her mind for the truth. Learning that she wasn't lying however nearly broke him.
Throwing her weak and battered body off to the side, she tumbled as the blonde began feeling the full effects of everything that had happened thus far. Not even the comforting words of the Bijuu were of much help.
But then a thought came to Naruto. Sasuke had mentioned a technique called the Izanagi. That by sacrificing a single Sharingan, one could manipulate reality enough to defy death. Trying to fend off succumbing to his despair of failing everyone he knew and loved, he came up with an insane plan. If he could gain enough Sharingan, and with his new power, he could effectively rewrite everyone being turned into Zetsu. Hell, why not take it a step further? Change history enough so that they wouldn't even have to go through this hellish war.
And he knew just where to get the Sharingan eyes too. As disgusting as it was, Danzo had nearly every active Sharingan eye harvested from the dead Uchiha clan members for his own use. As long as whatever tank he had them in was still intact, he could use them.
But first, he would even more power to pull off time travel, and seeing the bodies of the four Ōtsutsuki around him, he knew just how to get it.
Flashback end.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
And so here he was, with the power of the nine Bijuu at his back, the chakra and power of four separate Ōtsutsuki members, a hell of a lot of Sharingan, and one insane plan that given his luck might just work. Of course, taking the power of each Ōtsutsuki member came with… changes. His hair turned as white as theirs, and his other eye morphed into that Tensaigan that Toneri had. Sasuke's Rinnegan fully evolving into a RinneSharingan as well. As with most of the clan, he also grew horns, but thankfully they stayed small, being like Hagoromo's, if just a bit bigger. After checking, he found that he had not gained a third eye like Kaguya did. Perhaps that was because he didn't actually eat a chakra fruit like she did? Not like it mattered much at this point anyway.
Thanks to the Rinnegan's ability to read minds, he was able to gleam how to use his soon to be new abilities before he absorbed the four before devouring them whole like two of them had planned to do to him. His old self would have been disgusted to do such a thing, but now? A broken man being held together on the mad hope of fixing everything on a massive gamble? He honestly didn't even care anymore.
"well, looks like their finally ready." Naruto said, as the Sharingan eyes all around the circle he had formed out of the remains of the 10 tails to act as a gate.
"Well kid, hopefully this works and we aren't completely torn apart by what were about to do" Said Goyuki from inside of Naruto. The other Bijuu agreeing with him.
At first Naruto wanted to make the trip alone, as it was highly probable he would be able to survive without Kurama inside of him, but they had already made it this far together, and the fox, let alone the other tailed beasts weren't going to let him face this alone.
Giving a small smile at that, he activated the makeshift portal. Each Sharingan eye opened up and glowed, and a swirling vortex soon opened up. Except unlike the Kamui technique, it looked like someone took a bunch of different paint colors and was pouring them down a drain. Wasn't a pretty thing to look at.
"You better hurry it up if you really want to do this. The Izanagi technique was meant to be a one-time use, and the eyes are closing" Said Kurama, as the eyes were indeed rapidly closing.
Taking a deep breath, Naruto quickly entered the portal before the last eyes closed, cutting him off from the Elemental nations, at least for now he hoped.
At first, the myriad of colors and a sense of vertigo was the only thing Naruto felt as he went through the portal. Then, without warning, pain. Terrible, terrible pain. It felt like every fiber of his body was trying to be pulled apart at once. Thinking fast, he went and tried to summon a Susanoo to protect him. It was incomplete and malformed, as his haste and it being his first time using it with his new powers he summoned a ribcage, and multiple disfigures skeletal limbs to add further protection then just a ribcage, instead of a fully formed humanoid battle avatar like the other Uchiha had been able to do.
The protection was mostly holding but having to constantly use chakra to maintain his shield as it was constantly being dissolved. But that wasn't the worst part. The Bijuu were disappearing from inside of him. They had theorized that one of the main problems with their attempted time traveling, they wouldn't be able to exist in two places at once, and would either be annihilated completely, or in some fashion be fused to their counterparts in the new reality they were going to. And honestly, either option was preferable to the ruined wasteland that their former world was and waiting for a slow and lonely death.
"Naruto, I don't know how much longer I can hold on…" Said Kurama, feeling and trying its best to resist the pull the fox had been feeling, the other Bijuu having already been pulled away.
"Even though this was a possibility, still…" Said Naruto in a somber voice, not wanting his last friend to be taken as well.
"Bah! What kind of attitude is that? We both know with your dumb luck I'll be reborn in some way or another, so that just means we just must find each other again! Your new powers might have allowed you to survive unsealing me, but we will always be linked Naruto, never forget that!" bellowed Kurama, trying to give Naruto hope that they would see each other again, despite the fear in its gut that they wouldn't.
That eased Naruto's nerves somewhat. After all, he just had to hope he would find Kurama again. Heh, hope. That's really all Naruto had left at this point, didn't he? Gaining the absurd level of power, he did, doing the unsavory things the old him would never even consider, all for the sake of fixing everything that went wrong. Hell, maybe even with the mass Izanagi he had uses, maybe even a few people that would have otherwise been dead would be alive in the new reality? That would be nice.
Already he could feel Kurama as well had been pulled away like the others, leaving him alone. Slowly he felt a pull on his mind and very soul as he neared what seemed like the end of the portal. He could see ne physical end to it, but what he felt he could only assume he was near the end, as it wasn't like the pain of his body being destroyed like earlier. As he felt himself getting closer to the end, as much as he could, he hoped he would meet everyone again, and everything would turn out all right.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
So yeah, time travel using mass Izanagi.
Only around 2k words, but im not really one to do super long chapter, so this will probably be normal.
And yes, I did just condense the whole battle like that. Why? Because I really didn't feel like doing it.
Yes, I had Kinshiki, Momoshiki AND Toneri appear, the latter with the Tensaigan. Why? Well for Toneri, out of any of the Ōtsutsuki, none of them showed the ability to use the Tensaigan, or at least the knowledge of how to use it. So, he was really there just to die and have Naruto gain his power. Same with Kinshiki and Momoshiki really. I would have included that other Ōtsutsuki member that, but I kind of forgot about him until I was basically done with this anyway _
I know I had a similar story, or at least an unpublished idea that Naruto did a similar thing with a ring of Sharingan all using Izanagi acting as a portal, but to me this was for more likely a plausible thing (well, as plausible as all the other crazy shit happening in Naruto makes sense) then Naruto using some Fuinjutsu that allowed time travel. The Hiraishin allows one to teleport to be sure. But time travel? A bit much.
So yeah. Review and all that fun stuff. Flames and generally unhelpful reviews will just be ignored. My skins thick enough that someone going "Oh this story sucks, you're a shit writer, etc" and so on wont really get to me. Only thing that will stop me from writing is just not wanting to do it in general.
