Manipulating time again.

Author's notes:

This is just another time travel fic, there will be a lot of boring sequences and not a lot of speech in this chapter but please bear with me, I need to set this up for future chapters.

Please also keep in mind that I am typing and editing on my phone so errors will occur.

Other stories: The boy who became god's next chapter is taking quite a long time to write, since I need to put a lot of explanation in it. But I am telling you it will be good.

Timing is everything, not enough reviews at the moment to continue

The orange prodigy : Not going to write anymore, so if you wanted a big plot summary just pm me.

Thanks, I hope you enjoy the first boring chapter.

Chapter 1: Understanding the situation

Naruto quickly jumped away from the new ten tails jinchuriki - Uchiha Madara. The sky had turned blood red as Naruto had to watch Gai power down from opening the 8th gate, dying in the process.

Kakashi also panted, sweating from all over his body. He couldn't take anymore; Obito had died after giving Kakashi his sharingan and now Gai. These incredibly powerful men, his friends were all now dead, all of them had sacrificed themselves to get the kyubi back into Naruto.

"Ahhh Naruto," Kakashi muttered as he continued to run away from one of Madara's attacks. Naruto, the child he had ignored all of his life, turned out to be most like him - the prodigy of his class. No one ever mentioned it but Kakashi had been a massive prick to Naruto, always choosing to favour Sasuke, the boy who betrayed them all. Now Kakashi was going to do one last thing before he died, Kakashi was going to make it up to Naruto.

An explosion went off right next to Kakashi, who turned intangible as pieces of shrapnel came towards him. Then, when it was safe, Kakashi teleported to the little hideout that had been created for the few surviving ninja. There he quickly summoned Hinata, as Sakura had died from one of Madara's attacks.

In fact everyone from the konoha 11 had died except from Hinata, Lee and Naruto, who were currently among the dozen shinobi survivors.

"Naruto, all my life I have avoided you because you were the reminder of all my failures. You were my dead sensei's son and the next incarnation of Obito. However now I know that what I did was wrong," Kakashi said as he looked into Naruto's teary eyes.

"Kakashi sensei...," Naruto managed to say

"Let me finish. There was once a time when I was chosen to guard Kushina. Minato sensei had promised me that you would be my student and I had always thought that you would be the saviour of this world. I abandoned those thoughts after sensei died, however fate came by and the sandaime put you in my team. I thought it was because of Sasuke but now I finally understand what the professor had wanted me to do," Kakashi continued

A tear came out of Naruto's eye. It was true that Kakashi had never done anything to protect him from the wild crowds of the village but he had never held this against him. He had never really thought about it.

"Lord third had wanted me to adopt you, to care for you and introduce you to Jiraiya sama. However most of all, I think he wanted me to give you my sharingan. Not only to allow have you to be able to control the kyubi but to be able to unlock the rare bloodline you from your mother's side. The rinnegan," Kakashi stopped speaking and motioned for Hinata to come forward.

2 hours later.

Lee looked at Kakashi's blindfolded face. The only part of skin you could see was his nose. Kakashi was truly a noble rival for his late sensei.

"Naruto," Kakashi barely managed to say

Naruto turned his face to the direction of the voice, as he was also blindfolded. "Yes sensei?"

"Be sure to always stick to your friends, never allowing them to drift away like I did. They are the most important things," Kakashi spoke his last words.

Hinata, Lee and Naruto all shed their tears.

"Hey kit," Kurama said "If you want to do something about your sensei, then stop crying and listen to me.

Naruto stopped

"Listen, because you have all of the bijus' chakra I think I can perform a time travel technique that will send your consciousness, as well as mine and whoever else you're touching back in time. What it means is that you have a chance of saving all of your friends."

"You are telling me this NOW," Naruto asked a little bit aggravated

"Yes kit, because this is a one off technique and after I use it I'll be a sleep for who knows how long trying to restore my power," Kurama answered.

A chance to save all of his friends, that meant Sasuke, Sakura, Ten Ten, Neji, Kiba, Shino, Ino, Shikamaru, Chouji, Kurenai sensei, Asuma sensei, Gai sensei, Konohamaru, bee, Yamato sensei, Itachi and of course Kakashi sensei.

So he switched out with the kyubi so it could explain the process to him and his friends.

After everyone understood and had asked questions Naruto asked the final one "Where in time will our consciousness be transported?"

"Dunno kit, it depends on one of the moments you consider important in your life." Kurama answered one final time.

"Ok guys, let's do this," Naruto said reaching out for everyone's' hands. Hinata wrapped her arms around one of Naruto's arms. Lee wrapped one of his arms around Naruto's neck. Everything was prepared but then Naruto felt the need to hold Kakashi while he did this. So he felt around for kakashi's body and used his free hand to kneel down and hold onto Kakashi's hand.

"Ready," Lee announced

"Ready," Hinata agreed

"Ready," Kurama stated

"Ready," Naruto finalised.

Then everything went burning white, before becoming black again. And then...

Roughly 5 years ago.

"Naruto, I want to fight with you, too" was all Naruto heard before collapsing along with Lee and Hinata.

The next morning.

Naruto awoke to the same old white boring ceiling he had seen for most of his life.

"Oh you're awake now, I guess," said Katsumi.

Katsumi was a nurse that always treated Naruto when he was younger. Before he didn't understand why he always got the same nurse but now he did, it was because of the kyubi. She was a specialised nurse that could also do basic sealing and had direct access to the third to tell him everything that was happening to Naruto.

"Don't worry, the preliminaries were postponed until the people who collapsed woke up, I guess they were all exhausted because of the preliminaries. Wait right here I'll go hand in my reports to my elders," Katsumi smiled and left the room.

Shikamaru, Kiba and Chouji came in. They used to be his fellow academy dropouts who had become so strong in the war. "So I guess you're all all right now," Shikamaru stated.

"So what are you waiting for, everyone is already at the preliminary arena," Kiba blurted as he pulled the sheets off Naruto. Surprisingly he was still in his jumpsuit so they all left together.

At the preliminary arena.

So this was time travel, Naruto thought. He had already changed so much, it was incredible. Kakashi wasn't there first of all, probably because Sasuke was well rested and the cursed seal wouldn't react that badly. Second of all, instead of hayate as the preliminary examiner they had Yugao Uzuki who had been one of the anbu who had looked after the boy when he was beat up.

Yugao spoke up "Ok guys, I want to get straight into it since we have already experienced some delays. All you need to know is that a match will end if a - someone gives up b- if someone dies and c- If I think that the match has been decided. You will be able to see your matchups by this random electronic board and that if someone else intervenes in a match, they will be automatically disqualified. Only jonin instructors are allowed to intervene, if necessary."

Naruto was confused; Yugao was being a lot more 'impolite' than usual. Also what was important wasn't winning the chunin match but stopping Orochimaru so the third wouldn't die. Facing Orochimaru without kyubi mode would be a challenge, let alone facing the first and second hokage. He also needed a plan for that.

Anyway he looked up at the matchup board expecting to see Sasuke's name to be up there but instead it was Temari vs ten ten, again.

This was actually a pretty good situation, since he hadn't had a chance to talk to Hinata and Lee, so during this match would probably be the perfect time. So he motioned to lee and Hinata before leaving to go to the toilet,

In the toilets he wasn't surprised to see Hinata trying to sneak in because if the hyuga heiress was caught in the male bathrooms, it would be death to her.

They exchanged a few, how are you looks and gestures while they waited for lee, who was taking his time. Naruto realised that this probably was because lee was with Gai sensei and it would probably be weird if the youthful apprentice were to walk away from his teammate's match.

While they were about to exit though, Kurenai sensei showed up. "So what do we have here," she said in a very cliché tone.

Naruto just looked up at Kurenai while Hinata blushed rose looked at her star pupil, to be honest she had known what Hinata had had a crush on Naruto for a long time but she hadn't known that Naruto had felt the same way.

"You know what," Kurenai said feeling sorry for the couple "If you guys promise not to do any funny business around the toilets again, I'll make sure no one finds out about this event."

Hinata began to be protest " We weren't...," before she was cut off by Kurenai.

"I don't want to know," she said before leaving the two.

Then they heard Yugao shout "Winner: Temari." So the couple (I mean duo) rushed back to the preliminary arena.

Everyone carefully anticipated who was going to fight in round 2.

Hyuaga Hinata vs Akimichi Chouji

Naruto stared at Hinata, she was going to win this easily but he still wanted to watch how strong she had become.

Yugao muttered "Start."

"I want to end this quickly, Chouji," Hinata announced.

"Hinata... I don't really want to fight..." Chouji was cut off.

"Come on you fatty," came the loud voice of Ino from the stands.

With this Chouji became red hot and was about to use his double mass technique but it was too late, as Hinata had already looked at his tenketsu and started to hit them rapidly, Chouji just managed to execute his technique and then rammed Hinata into a wall, only to reveal a wooden replacement, whilst Hinata slammed Chouji's tenketsu. She then bowed to Chouji and waited for Yugao to announce the winner, which she did.

"Winner: Hyuga Hinata."

Everyone except Chouji, Shikamaru (who was too lazy) and Neji cheered, even though it was a pretty pathetic match.

Then as Chouji was carried to the medical centre, Hinata walked back up to watch the next match-up.

It was Abumi Zaku vs Shino.

Hinata was the one who decided to stay this time as lee and Naruto went to the bathroom.

"Yosh it is time to show my youthfulness off to Gai sensei, he will be so happy after he sees how powerful I have become," Lee said.

"We have to focus on stopping Madara and Obito and Orochimaru first." Naruto replied.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

"I think we shouldn't tell the third about the invasion because then he would cancel the exams which will make sure Sasuke will leave the village because he won't be able to see how strong he is. So what I suggest is that we tell select few people, that we trust, about the invasion, so when it does pop up - We will be ready to defend the third and the village," Naruto replied once again.

"So basically we have to do nothing but tell a few people about the invasion and then wait until it happens?" Lee asked.

Naruto knew how much Lee opposed waiting, if there were people in danger but it was the only thing they could do.

Then his eyes began to burn, intensely, did it have something to do with Kakashi sensei's sharingan?

End of Chapter 1

Really super rushed chapter. Just wanted to get this out there so people can tell me if I should continue or not. I have a lot planned for this. If you want me to continue be sure to stick it in a review.

Pairings are undecided so stick them in the reviews too.

Thanks
