DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO. NOT NOW, NOT EVER.

My first ever Naruto story… Please be nice.

Prologue

He hated how his life had turned out. He was now twenty and had grown up, resenting everything and everybody in that Kami forsaken village. Naruto had brought Sasuke back! Defeated Akatsuki and got rid of Pein and Obito. Him! Naruto did it! But it was like no one even acknowledge it and when he had gone out the day after their return, everyone was fawning over Sasuke like he had never deserted Konoha and had nearly been used to destroy the village.

And that started Naruto's countdown.

Every day that passed by, it was like how he was when he was younger. Everyone hated him for being the bearer of a creature of power that nearly destroyed their city. And no matter how hard he did his best, no one would acknowledge him of his good deeds. No one except the Hokage: Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime of Konohagakure of the Fire Country. But when he had died and was replaced by his godmother, Tsunade, Naruto knew it wasn't the same. Together with Jiraiya, both legendary Sannins tried their best to be like the Sandaime when it came to Naruto. But after a while, it was Naruto who began to slip further and further away from them.

Tsunade had asked him to organize the private library of the Hokage. It was normally only for the Hokage's but since Naruto was going to be the Rokudaime soon, Tsunade thought that it would be the same thing so she asked him. If only she knew how grave of a mistake it was.

Naruto did as he was told. He began to arrange and organize the scrolls that were hidden inside the private library. And as he was going about his task, one particular scroll caught his attention.

It was black and was tied with a thick red string. And upon touching it, the scroll itself moved and unraveled before Naruto.

He wanted to scream and run out but for some reason he stayed in place. As the scroll hovered in front of him, Naruto saw what was written inside: a Time Travelling Jutsu.

Naruto couldn't take his eyes off the scroll. And without hesitation he took the scroll, placed it inside his clothing, brought out the feather duster he was carrying and pretended to be done for the day. He coughed as he came out, glaring at the smirking Hokage.

"If I die due to lack of oxygen, I will find ways to come back and haunt you, baa-chan." Naruto told her as he placed down the duster and sighed.

"I hope not. Then it would be impossible to get rid of you from this office and you'd remind me everyday. Ugh." Tsunade said as she groaned.

After a few more exchange of words, Naruto left the office and made his way back home.

However, luck was not on his side.

He just had to run into Sasuke who was being followed by Ino and Sakura. Naruto wanted to kill them all and Kyuubi was already laughing inside him.

"Well, if you need any chakra, I'd be willing to help you. As long as you take out the pig and forehead too."Kyuubi told Naruto who smirked and chuckled.

Without even a greeting, Naruto walked past the three of them who stared in shock at him.

No insult.

No trying to agitate Sasuke.

No nothing.

Naruto was smirking and Kyuubi laughed harder.

It didn't take long for them to reach Naruto's apartment and with the strongest locking seals he knew, he looked all doors and windows of his apartment. He also placed a concealment seal so that whoever was outside wouldn't see that Naruto was actually inside his place.

"I have got to say, those are the most complicated and most elaborate combination of hand seals I have ever seen." Kyuubi commented after Naruto placed down the scroll and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Is it doable?" Naruto asked.

"It is. However, I have no doubt that it will take a lot of both our energy and chakra to make it work. But you will be able to do it."Kyuubi answered and Naruto nodded.

"Well… no point in knowing this jutsu and NOT doing it right? Besides… if we go back, we might be able to change how things went once before." Naruto proposed and the Kyuubi listened.

"True. If you go back and retain all your knowledge, you'd be able to use it against these people who had treated you like you were not the one bearing the biggest burden ever."

"You are not a burden, Kyuubi-san. Yes, it had been hard growing up because they all know that you rest inside me, but it was their choice to see me as nothing but the prison cell that held you, the power that had nearly destroyed this village. Even if it was my father who had done it, the people ought to have handled it better." Naruto said and Kyuubi was silent.

None of them spoke for a long while until Kyuubi sighed.

"If you want to go back, I will help you… This time… I'll make sure everything will be different for you and me." Kyuubi promised which made Naruto smile a bit and stood up.

"Alright then, we'll do this before the clock sticks midnight." Naruto stated and the Kyuubi inside nodded.

He needed to prepare a few things and Naruto had a feeling that if he returned to tha past and would be back to his younger self but with the knowledge he had at the present, he would be changing everything that happened and make sure that he and Kyuubi would never get hurt. Ever again.

The hours went by and a minute before midnight, Naruto was in the middle of his living room, kneeling in front of the open scroll. He took a deep breath and began to do the hand seals as instructed by the scroll. And upon the last one, Naruto saw a flash of pure white light before darkness engulfed him.

A/N: So how was that? Interesting first start? Read and review to tell me what you think.
