3rd POV
The desert was littered with Suna shinobi, but all five teammates were staggering from grave injuries. The fifth member of the team had reappeared earlier from underground, a little confused at how he had escaped the sand but joined the fight immediately, yet the addition helped little, as more enemy shinobi joined the mess. When one dropped, another two took their place, overwhelming the Konoha-nin. It seem history is repeating itself again. Don't worry little one your grandfather isn't going to die this time. Thought one silver hair individual while rubbing her slight growing baby bump. Seeing a Suna-nin about to attack Sakumo's blind spot. Killing the two instant.
Sakumo whipped around in surprise at the stranger who had saved him.
"Hatake, stay focused on your enemies," silver hair individual growled as she gutted the attacker Sakumo had turned his back on. "I am your backup."
"I know who our enemies are," the silver hair individual said to the man fighting behind her. "You killed her son and daughter-in-law many years ago."
"Who–?" Sakumo panted from exhaustion after killing another four.
"Think puppets."
"…puppeteer Chiyo of Sand…"
"These shinobi are controlled by her," the silver hair individual explained as she decapitated a kunoichi. "She has prepared well for your arrival."
She was getting pissed off. The fallen puppets were reviving and now throwing themselves at the team.
"Fuuton: Kazekiri no Jutsu (Wind Cutter)!"
"Raiton: Kuropansa (Black Panther)!"
Both the silver hair individual and Sakumo shouted their attacks at the same time. A blade of wind from silver hair individual and a large black panther of lightning from Sakumo razed by the enemy forces.
This is getting old thought the silver hair individual "Chiyo! Are you single-handedly trying to initiate the war between Sand and Leaf?" The puppets around them faltered for a bit. Now thought the silver hair individual. As she disappeared and reappeared behind the puppeteer.
Hitting the central tenketsu point of her chakra coils and activated with a sharp jerk, wrapping the puppeteer in invisible symbols lined by her chakra and powered by Chiyo's own.
Yes! It was risky – seventy-five percent chance of failing– but it was the only way she knew to stop a seal expert who could negate any confinement seals with their own seals.
"Chiyo, call them off. You've lost." Said the silver hair individual while holding a kunai
"Not until Hatake dies," she snarled.
"And what if you die?" A kunai pressed against her neck. "What will happen to your grandson Sasori if you die?"
"He will thank me," Chiyo said with a snarl.
"But you are why his heart has not yet frozen. Stop the attack and return to his side. Killing Hatake will only teach your grandson that murder is the solution to any problem." Said the silver hair individually. Tears filled her eyes and flowed down her cheeks. "The scum ruined our lives. He deserves to die." Chiyo said while she was crying.
"Then what of his son? His son will grow cold as well, and just as you saw with Sasori, no child should lose their beloved parents." Said the silver hair individual as she thought of her child growing up without his father.
The puppets faltered, launched again, and then crumbled. Silence blanketed the sand.
Sakumo staggered over to them, trailing blood, and fell to his knees, kneeling with his hands and forehead pressed to the sand.
"Chiyo-sama," he gasped out with strength and sincerity behind his voice. "I offer my deepest apologies and beg your forgiveness. I have regretted their deaths every day since I saw your grandson's eyes. I cannot apologize for completing my mission, but I beg your forgiveness for the pain I have caused you and the boy." He didn't move from his position even as blood pooled under him.
The hatred didn't die, but it dulled as she slumped in her restraints. "Stand up, boy. Come here and let me see your face."
Clutching his bleeding chest, he hauled himself over. Chiyo swept her eyes over his wounds and up to his eyes which were bright with unshed tears as well. She hung her head in defeat but made one more request.
"My actions so far were for my grandson, but allow me one hit for myself."
With only slight hesitation, Sakumo nodded his acceptance and closed his eyes, hoping he would live to see his son again but knowing this was the right thing to do. He sensed something approaching from behind but remained unmoving, ready to receive the physical manifestation of her hatred.
But the blow never came.
He carefully opened his eyes when he heard sobbing from the woman and saw a shadow cast from behind him. Turning around he saw a blade – his own sabre – millimeters from his neck. Whirling back around, he engulfed Chiyo in a tight hug, crying silently with her, repeating apologies and his gratitude over and over and over.
The silver hair individual watched the scene silently with a small smile but as images of Kurama her best friend and father figure and the images of Kakashi her lover and father of her child. Smiling at her appeared in her mind, tears started to form as she could feel her mental barriers breakdown she wanted to collapse and cry but she couldn't, not now. She left in a silver flash leaving everyone in shock. Both Sakumo and Chiyo watched in shock as everyone that was still there heard the cry of a broken and lost soul in the distance.
Naruto P.O.V.
I made it back in what I call a "home" as I started to remember what happened. And how I got here in the past.
FLASHBACK
Glowing red and blue pipes line the stone walls of an area akin to that of a sewer. However if one would look up they would not be able to see the ceiling only an endless black, void of anything. Separating two sides of the sewer lies iron bars that would seem to be held shut by a piece of paper with a swirl in the center with intricate symbols surrounding it.
On one side, the barely standing blonde, on the other a beast much fear. A giant fox with rabbit-like ears, and nine flowing tails. The demon is covered in almost red, red-orange fur. Slitted red eyes that used to be filled with anger and malice, now filled with worry for his jailor. The Kyuubi no Kitsune, the nine-tailed fox demon that lies within one Naruto Uzumaki.
Yes, the beast that is told to of slaughtered thousands and crushes mountains with a simple flick of one of its many tails, lays in worry over its once jailor, now like a Daughter. "Kit..." it calls, deep voice booming out in the sewer.
"Kurama..." The teen rasps out in pain.
A hole in her chest sits where a sword had stabbed her in the middle of her fight against Sasuke Uchiha. The fight had been long and tiring. The two were more or less every matched against one another. The Uchiha not listening at all to the blondes pleading to come home to Konoha. The Uchiha and the Uzumaki ultimately ended up fighting to the death, both landing fatal wounds. However, the raven had charged up his Chidori and charged at Naruto, and hit the blonde in the chest puncturing one of said blonde's lungs. The fox raises to his paws and looks down at Naruto. "Kit I refuse to let you die. I will also send you to the past so you can change the future and give your kit a chance to grow up too. So you both can be happy and live. I'm breaking the seal once and for all" the fox reveals to the young blonde. Panic sets into the blue orbs as she finds a claw tearing at the seal. "No, wait there has to be some other way! Kurama! Please, please don't do this If you do this then... Then!-" the blonde yells but is cut off by the iron cage slamming open, and potent red chakra immediately rushes out seizing the blonde.
"I know. Goodbye, I love you my adorable kit, my daughter." Was the last thing the blonde heard as unimaginable pain fills her body, sending her nerves haywire with the burning sensation. Soon everything turns black.
END FLASHBACK
Wiping my tears away as I remember that terrible memory loss of my father figure and my only friend. Sign letting out a sigh I look at my reflection in the mirror. I once had a sun-kissed blonde hair stunning sapphire blue eyes and slightly tan skin with three whisker marks on both my cheeks. Now my blonde hair has turned silver. My tan skin had turned a light complexion almost like porcelain. My 3 whisker marks have turned into 2 red slashes on my cheeks. My sapphire blue eyes have turned into a stunning gold that could look into your very soul. And in the middle of my forehead, there's a small Red Crescent moon. I still had to come to terms with suddenly being seven years older. My hips were wider and my bust bigger. My facial features were also a bit sharper and all the baby fat is gone. I was also a bit taller than I remembered being. All in all, it took some getting used to. I used to have a bit of a boyish figure, with hardly any curves. Suddenly having them was a bit uncomfortable, but I liked it. I no longer look like I used to be. I look completely different I look more like a goddess in other people's opinion they would say that I am.
The change to my appearance was most likely caused by Kurama merging with me making me into a daiyōkai a greater demon, to say the least. I've been in the past for a few months and I have changed a lot of things most likely major things that most likely would change the outcome of the future. One of the things I changed in the past was saving Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan and killing Hanzo of the salamanders. I didn't stick around after that I did left them with a few words of advice that will change their point of view of peace. I have no doubt they'll seek me out in the nearby future. And I also want to stop that asshole Danzo, he's the reason why most of my precious people are gone. I will never forgive him or anyone that will harm my precious people and I will never forgive that asshole. Who stole my love from me? Kakashi I'll make sure our child will grow up happy and living a happy life.
~Time skip Kannabi Bridge mission.~
3rd P.O.V.
Obito was dying. He knew he was. With tons of rubble already blocking the exit, and one boulder crushing his lower half, it was only a matter of time before he joined his parents in the afterlife. Besides, it was getting harder to breathe, his blood seeped beneath him and soaking his clothes. He was either going to suffocate from the lack of air or bleed to death. Honestly, not one was appealing to him.
He smirked snidely to himself. "Heh, I guess this is the end. Stupid Kakashi was stupid till the end." He closed his eyes, resigned to his fate. Well, he didn't have both eyes anymore so closing them really didn't make a difference.
"You are so not dying here, brat. Not when I can help it." A voice spoke startling Obito into awareness. His breath hitched. These were the last things he registered before Obito finally surrendered to the beckon of sleep, or death maybe. Naruto sighed loudly. Damn it. This was so not the plan. But she felt like shit right now.
I swear to all the gods out there when I meet you two in the afterlife, Kurama and Kakashi, I'm gonna skewer the both of you, 'ttebayo!"
Huffing, she smashed the boulders with a flick of her finger, a barrier seal already in place around her to protect them both from the onslaught of the demolition and grinned triumphantly as she retrieved Obito's intact body. No way in hell was she leaving him there when Madara was still at large she still needs to kill him and black Zetsu. This mishap messed everything up in their world and she had every intention to prevent that. Closing her eyes, she felt her seal plastered under the bed of her makeshift home and disappeared in a flash of silver light.
Naruto landed softly, her back hurting a little with the added weight. Hiraishin or not, it was still hard lugging around her body, what more with an added baggage. One hand settled on her protruding stomach and another dumping Obito on her bed. It was harder to move now that she was almost five months along her pregnancy. To be precise, she was exactly four months and two weeks into her pregnancy. In retrospect, she wasn't supposed to be moving much at all as per Sakura's orders but every aspect of normalcy went down the drain. Now she was in the past.
Naruto sighed, her hands glowing faintly gold. Her gaze dropped down, studying the large, square seal drawn on the floor surrounding her bed. Perfect. Now then, it's now or never. Quickly forming the seals, she shouted. " Tenshi no iyashi no Jutsu!"
Obito felt as if he was floating. Nothing seemed to register in his mind but the dizzying feeling of rocking back and forth. Darkness engulfed everything and for one single moment he panicked, his limbs flailed against the void pulling him down. He had to resist it, he wouldn't go down.
"Oi, wake up child." And he did, his eyes snapping open only to groan out loud as the sunlight pierced his burning eyes. Speaking of eyes... Obito gasped and reached for his once empty socket. It was there, he could feel it under the bandages. He had two eyes... Two fucking eyes!
"Yeah, yeah, you have two eyes, so what?" Obito swiveled towards the voice, remembering faintly where he heard it before and was floored. There stood a goddess of a Woman. She had beautiful silver hair that reach down to her lower calf's. Her skin was a light complexion almost like porcelain. She had 2 red slashes on her cheeks. Her eyes are stunning gold that could look into your very soul. And in the middle of her forehead there's a small Red Crescent moon. And this woman was pregnant, her bulging stomach was enough to convince him. Honestly speaking, she was beautiful, but what surprised him the most was her chakra.
"It's you! You where the one in the cave!" He pointed rudely at her, his whole body rigid in surprise. More importantly, how the hell was he alive?
Naruto rolled her eyes and deadpanned. "I saved you, how rude."
Obito reeled in shock. "Stop reading my mind!" He snapped only to have her laughing at his plight.
"You're the one talking loudly like some idiot, of a child." She replied, sounding bored. Obito frowned and tried to stand up but found that he couldn't. Frightened, he ripped the blanket off his body and was stunned speechless at the bandages covering his lower body. Wasn't he crushed by the boulder? How could his body be intact?
"You really shouldn't move around so much your still healing." Obito glared at her. Naruto sighed before waddling over to the bed. She cursed under her breath. Being pregnant sucks. No wonder most of the girls in her time didn't want to have kids.
"How're you feeling?" She reached over, ignoring the flinch he gave off and settled one hand on his face. Her hand glowed light green, scanning him quickly, trying to find anything wrong, and letting go before he got defensive. It seems that your healing quite nicely you should be up in your feet in no time. Naruto said with a smile making Obito blush. It seems that you're quite hungry after your whole ordeal. I'll be making dinner soon. Oh by the way my name is Okami Tsukino. A small smile formed on her lips. At least now, her quaint house wouldn't be so quiet anymore.
