Enjoy!

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sandaime Hokage of Konohagakure, looked on in stunned shock as an orb of light blinded him just as the preliminary round of the Chūnin exams was about to begin.

Everyone in the room shifted nervously, not wanting to charge blindly (especially because they were slightly blinded by the phenomenon) and attack without knowing what it was.

Regardless, the Sandaime's ANBU guards positioned themselves as to best defend him.

When the ninja were finally able to see again, they noticed something strange.

Not only were there quite a few people missing from the stands (Chunin candidates included), but more than a few familiar-looking figures were standing where the light had originated from.

The old man inhaled shakily as he took in the figure at the front of the crowd of strangers, charismatic enough even when not speaking that everyone's attention was on her.

Blonde hair, deep blue eyes, three whisker marks on her cheeks—

"Naruto?" he gasped, eyes widening.

But it couldn't be! This woman was years older than Minato's daughter was, appearing to be in her late twenties. Her attire was completely different, and…was that an Uzushiogakure forehead protector?!

The young woman blinked up at him, smiling softly as she greeted him, a wistful look in her sapphire blue eyes. "Hey gramps."

The Sandaime was so blindsided that he didn't notice his shinobi bristling at the 'lack of respect', while the woman's (his surrogate granddaughter's?) companions smiled or rolled their eyes fondly.

"What is going on?" Hiruzen asked, thirty minutes later once it had been determined (for the time being) that the group was not a threat.

Not only was an apparently-older Naruto there, but almost all of his Chunin candidates have disappeared as well, only for their older counterparts to be in the crowd!

All but a few wearing a forehead protector declaring allegiance to Uzushiogakure, the Village Hidden in the Whirling Tides, which had been destroyed before most of them had been born.

And so, to reiterate: what?

"Ah, right!" the blonde woman announced, straightening slightly. She'd slumped in annoyance during the Council's debates on whether or not they should bother hearing them out or just attack them. Why the Council had even shown up, he didn't know.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto, Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi no Kitsune, Sandaime Uzukage of Uzushiogakure." The blonde announced, bowing mockingly in the direction of some of the council members, who sneered back at her.

She gestured at her group for them to introduce themselves as well. "Cough up, guys. Those who have never been to Konoha, feel free to not bother." She turned back to him. "I'll explain after."

A man stepped forward, unmistakably an Uchiha, about the same age as the woman claiming to be Naruto. "Uchiha-Uzumaki Sasuke. Jōnin."

Stunned silence for everyone in the Sandaime's group.

The old man sighed, running a hand down his face. Last time he checked, the two had hated each other.

Now they were married?

One of the council members scowled, insulted on the Uchiha clan's behalf. "You wife doesn't bare your name. Why?"

"Politics." Sasuke shrugged. "Uzumaki is on par with Konoha's Senju in Uzushio, while the Uchiha clan has little history with the village. The Uzumaki are higher up, and as such I took on my wife's name."

"And that doesn't bother you?!" one of the civilian council members raged.

Sasuke blinked at them calmly. "No, not particularly. An Uchiha is an Uchiha, regardless of their surname."

Behind the main crowd of Uzushiogakure ninja and citizens, a teen who who had been adopted into the Uzumaki clan, bearing Uchiha blood but not the name, smiled faintly.

"Haruno Sakura." The pinkette Kunoichi spoke up, cutting off the council's reply. "Medic and overseer of our hospital. Jōnin."

A few people raised their eyebrows. Medic ninja were typically special Jōnin, promoted because of their high-level specialized skills, whereas regular Jōnin were more rounded.

A trio of people that the Sandaime recognized as the Sand siblings stepped up.

"Sabaku no Gaara, Jinchūriki of Ichibi no Tanuki, Godaime Kazekage of Sunagakure." The redhead spoke, looking far saner than he had earlier (and was that really less than an hour ago?).

A few people gasped in horror or disgust, but the Uzushio contingent and the boy's siblings glared them into submission.

"Sabaku no Kankarō, Puppet Master and Kazekage's advisor. Jōnin." The man in question spoke up, and more than a few were surprised to see him without that black cloak thing, showing brown hair.

"Nara Temari. Ambassador of Sunagakure. Jōnin." The last and oldest of the Yondaime's children announced. She smirked at her husband, nudging him playfully when he muttered 'troublesome.'

Shikaku looked at the girl in interest, realizing that she was (or was to become, at least) his daughter-in-law.

"Nara Shikamaru." The Nara heir muttered, before wincing as his wife hit him. "Jōnin Commander and advisor to the Uzukage. Jōnin."

"Yamanaka Ino." The blonde said with a smile, waving at her dad. "Head of Torture and Interrogation, and I'm a special Jōnin. This is Yamanaka Sai, my husband."

Sai smiled awkwardly, not quite as fake as it used to be, as he nodded his head at Inoichi, his father-in-law, who studied him carefully.

"I'll reserve judgement." The man muttered.

"Akimichi Choji, Jōnin." The large man said with a smile, hair down past his shoulders.

"Rock Lee!" the Taijutsu expert crowed, posing. "Uzushio's Beautiful—"

He was cut off as his old teammate clamped her hand over his mouth, drawing relieved sighs from more than a few people.

"Tenten!" the woman in question chirped happily. "Uzushio's Weapons Expert and special Jōnin! And Lee here is Jōnin, too."

"Hyūga Neji." The man in question sighed at his teammates' antics. "Jōnin."

"Hyūga Hinata." The clan heiress said with a smile from her position right next to her cousin. "Jōnin."

Hiashi stiffened as he looked at his daughter and nephew…and tensed when he realized that the Caged Bird Seal was no longer on his nephew's forehead.

He would need to speak with the two of them at some point.

He only hoped that the elders wouldn't insist that Hinata be given the seal, or re-seal Hizashi's boy. After all, if they were no longer of Konoha, they were Branch family members.

Unless, of course, the Main Branch had also uprooted and moved to Uzushio.

This would need to be discussed.

"Inuzuka Kiba. Special Jōnin." The boy in question grunted. "Hunter-nin."

Hiruzen's eyebrows raised as Aburame Shino also claimed to be a special Jōnin hunter-nin. Wasn't that Kiri's thing?

He watched as more and more (formerly?) Konoha ninja re-introduced themselves.

Umino Iruka. Hatake Kakashi (and wasn't that a blow?) Yūhi Kurenai. Might Gai.

What had happened to cause all of them to leave?

Katō Shizune? He hadn't seen her since she was a young girl!

And who were the rest of the people with the Uzushio group? More interestingly, the kids?

Naruto took a deep breath.

"Okay. First off, I should let you know that various things occur, Senju Tsunade became the Godaime Hokage, then was put into a coma fighting enemy forces, and Shimura Danzō took advantage and managed to maneuver himself into the Hokage position. Tsunade baa-chan had showed us all some rather interesting files pertaining to him, and since we couldn't remove him from power at the time, we decided to leave Konoha in order to protect ourselves and our families."

Hiruzen gaped, along with his advisors and former teammates.

"You're still not very good at explaining things." Sakura informed her friend, who rolled her eyes.

"Now see here-!" Koharu growled, jumping to the war hawk's defense.

"No, you see here." Naruto gazed back at her calmly, emitting enough killing intent that the old coot shut up, before turning back to the Hokage. "Shimura has committed dozens of acts of treason against Konoha. Kidnapping clan children from their families, brainwashing them and turning them into his own personal soldiers for a program that was officially disbanded by the Hokage that he kept running illegally, and killing them off if they regained their independence. Orchestrating the Uchiha massacre and blackmailing Uchiha Itachi into participating in exchange for Sasuke's life. Plotting with Orochimaru, stealing Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan eye—check under his bandages, including the ones on his arm, he's got dozens of them—which drove the man to suicide…"

Sai scowled slightly at the reminder of his past, and Sasuke wasn't much better, normally calm eyes showing his pain.

Itachi had been forced to go through so much, and he'd had no one to help him. His best friend had killed himself right in front of him, giving him the Mangekyō Sharingan, only for him to be accused of killing him and then blackmailed into becoming a mass murderer…

Damn it, his brother was a pacifist!

Sasuke was still pissed that his older brother had manipulated him into becoming an avenger in a sick assisted suicide type deal, but could understand that he hadn't exactly been thinking rationally.

"Anyway, we're from the future." Naruto said bluntly with a smile, amused at the faces that particular claim gained. "Came back to make sure Shimura doesn't rise to power. He's hurt and killed a lot of people, and we're going to stop him."

Hiruzen blinked.

"And Uzushio?" he wondered aloud.

Would they come back home, to Konoha?

Naruto smiled wistfully, guessing at his thoughts. "Uzushio is our home, now. We stumbled across its ruins after we left, and due to the seals encompassing the city and my own Uzumaki blood, the city more or less rebuilt itself, at least enough for us to stay there and rebuild the rest for ourselves. A lot of us have been very badly hurt by not just Shimura, but Konoha itself, and more than a few of us don't want to be here right now."

The Sandaime winced as a great many of his former people nodded in complete agreement, emphasizing just how badly his mistakes as Hokage had cost them.

Naruto most of all.

"Uzushio didn't come back with us, unfortunately." The Uzukage sounded wistful. "We're going to have to rebuild again. But all of its people are here, and that's what is most important."

"You mean…" Shikaku said.

"Yes." Naruto confirmed. "We can't go back to our time."

Please review!

Crappy first chapter, I know. Sorry about that.

Basically, Naruto re-build Whirlpool, brought her precious people (including the Konoha 12) with her, Danzō took advantage when Tsunade was incapacitated, ruined pretty much everything, and they all decided that they might as well go back and try to prevent it.

Akatsuki is no longer a threat. I'll explain at some point during the next few chapters.

Tsunade isn't with them because they couldn't move her. Jiraiya because he died. Neji didn't die, a few people who did die are back and have their memories…it's complicated. Not all of them arrived back in the same place.

Anyway, this is also a crossover story. Those other Uzushio villagers I mentioned, as well as some of the kids that I also mentioned. Examples include characters from Akame ga Kill, Black Bullet, and Soul Eater.
