Starting Over

Prologue

Naruto Namikaze stood on top of the Hokage monument. He looked out on the ruins of this once great village. Naruto sighed and ran a hand through his blond hair. Over the years he had began to look so much like his father and by the time he was twenty he looked exactly like him. He had even taken to dressing like him with the exception of the cloak. Naruto's was a deep maroon color with black flames along the base wile his fathers was white with orange flames along the base.

Naruto smiled slightly when he sensed a presence behind him.

"Well Garra, what are we going to do?" Naruto asked still looking out over the ruins. Garra walked up beside Naruto and put a hand on his shoulder.

"We have no choice but to go through with the plan." Garra said looking over the Leaf Village ruins as well. "We will do the jutsu, but please as soon as we see each other you mess with my seal. I rather like sleeping."

Naruto gave a small laugh and nodded.

"We still need a date. I was thinking the day that I was put on Team 7. I don't want to risk not being trained by Kakashi, no matter what he was destined to train Sasuke."

"You really loved them, didn't you?" Garra hesitated for a second. "Well, at least Kakashi. You never were really a big fan of Sasuke and Sakura were you?"

Naruto sighed. "Sasuke could never understand that understand him. What he was going through. When we were twelve, I have to admit that I had no idea, what he was going through but now. I do. I have since I first found out that I was Minato Namikaze's son. My father made me realize what Sasuke went through."

"I still don't understand what he meant by you not understanding. You don't need to lose all of your family to understand the pain. I think that what we went through was far worse than losing all of your family. I mean my father sent assassins after me when I didn't prove to be what he wanted." Garra said.

"I know. The village my father loved and gave his life for then the village took his last plea and threw it back in his face."

Naruto sighed again.

"Have you decided your two souls?" Naruto asked.

"Tsunade." Garra said. "I know she's not from my village but, you know that if things don't play out the way they did last time she'll never come back. I am undecided on the other soul, not one of my siblings, I love them but no. Maybe Shikamaru."

Naruto smiled. "You know that they are both from my village. So if you do that than I would have to put up with them and you wouldn't."

"Yes but there are no important people from my village that will be a benefit to the plan."

"I suppose."

"So who are your two souls?" Garra asked knowing that Naruto had two souls but only one would be able to come back.

"Jiriya and…" Naruto sighed, as much as he wanted his father back there was no body for his soul to come back to. "Just Jiriya."

"Yeah, I figured as much. What about Kakashi?"

"I love Kakashi as if he were a brother, but… no." said Naruto. "Of course I am going to inform when the time is right. You know when I was first put on team 7 Kakashi didn't know who my father was. I bet there is something about me that you don't know?"

"What is that?"

"I have a Kekkei Genkai, from my father's side of the family."

"Really?"

"Yeah, it is a very unique Kekkei Genkai. It is called Blutinie Dieb or Bloodline Thief. When I touch someone with a Kekkei Genoa's skin my body with steal that person's Kekkei Genkai. It is also very selective, my body will only steal one if it won't cause any harm to me."

"That is really impressive. When did it activate?"

"Just after I turned 17, it turns out that the fox's presence inside my mind and being able to communicate with me slowed its development. I should have had it by the time I was 10, that is when my father got his. It usually happens by accident. Mine was when I touch Hinata's hand. It was really painful, after that I went straight to Tsunade to see what was happening and she explained it to me."

"Wow."

"Well, we spent a year researching this and now we have to do it ready when you are."

"We are going to need all of the chakra we can get."

"Yeah, good thing I have that stupid foxes chakra in me."

Naruto and Garra smiled at each other. They nodded to each other and sat down. They closed their eyes and started to make hand signs.

"Garra, don't forget to picture the faces of the two you want." Naruto said as he was finishing the last of the two hundred thousand hind signs.

"You too and see you back in time."
