A/N: There will be some changes to the canon story here so bare with me... This will be a Time Travel story where Naruto heads back into the past but not in a way he'll expect it. NarutoxHinata and NarukoxKiba. Naruko in this story will NOT be named Naruko, I deny that name w/ a passion. And no there will NOT be any pedophilia going on either! Naruto still somewhat happy-go-lucky. Also I hate describing clothings so I'll tell you now. Throughout the entire story, he will be wearing exactly the same clothings as in Shippuden plus the red short-sleeved haori with black flames at the bottom.

Summary: The Fourth Great Shinobi War was over. Uchiha Madara's plan foiled and ended, however, came with great sacrifices. The Juubi (10-Tailed Beast) proved even more stronger than Naruto and Killer B expected and the results were devastating to say the least. When Obito was finally convinced of his delusions and dropped his guard for one moment, Madara struck, taking over Obito's body he released Juubi's full power. Over three-fifths of the Shinobi Alliance died in the initial attack including Naruto's many friends. Grief-struck, he continued on and became Hokage to protect their memories and Will of Fire. Now an opportunity raises to allow him to change things...

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

5 years have past since that day, that one day that changed how the future of villages will work there and after. Many sacrifices were made, unintended ones that shouldn't have happened. Naruto have bashed himself over the years so many times for his shortcomings but no one ever held him against them. He wish they would so he can somehow find a way to make amends but all they ever said was, "Keep their memories and wishes alive, their Will of Fire."

One lone man stood over the Memorial Stone, the 2nd one to be exact erected right next to the first one. Kneeling down, he moved his hand over the names of his beloved friends and love.

Hyuga Neji

Inzuka Kiba

Nara Shikamaru

Yamanaka Ino

Meili Tenten (Giving Tenten a last name, a Chinese one meaning 'beautiful')

Hatake Kakashi

Hyuga Hinata

Naruto's hand stopped at that last name. After a while, he sat down with his eyes still fixated on her name.

Flashback~

Nearing the end of the battle with the Juubi, just as Naruto was about finish off Madara once and for all, the Uchiha at the last moment shot forth Amaterasu at Naruto. Naruto would've dodged it but if he did, the other shinobi behind him would be caught and burnt under it so he prepared to sacrifice himself for the greater good. However, Hinata once again jumped in to save Naruto. Using Kaiten, Hinata was able to negate most of the ninjutsu but the residue still caught on her.

Naruto tried to extinguish the flames but Hinata just kicked him away. "I'm sorry Naruto-kun. Please promise me you will be a great Hokage! I will always be with you so please don't cry," Hinata spoke softly before getting completely consumed by the black fire. Naruto's heart dropped and almost went rushing into Madara but was prevented by Uchiha Sasuke.

"Stop it Naruto! If you have the strength to do something stupid, do it after this war is over! You're not honoring her last wishes by being stupid now!"

Looking at his sworn brother's eyes, Naruto calmed down and together they finally broke down Uchiha Madara and without a source of power to control it, the Juubi 'died' and the other tailed beasts reappeared, however weakened.

End Flashback~

"Nee Hinata-chan. Today is going to be another stupid boring day in office. It's really peaceful now especially with the United Shinobi Alliance formed. There are still Missing-Nins and bandits roaming but they've been quiet the past couple years. Konohamaru is really smart you know! He's learning all this political stuff life he's been doing it for years and it took me years to learn everything." Naruto scratched his head sheepishly.

"I still sometimes wonder how would everything be like if I had died back there or if you didn't die... I just wished things could've ended up differently... I never... explicitly said it but... I really love you too Hinata-chan..." Naruto could feel tears welling up at the corners of his eyes, he wiped them off and flashed a goofy grin.

"Yosh, I've been out too long, if I don't get back now, Sakura-chan is going to send me straight into the hospital again."

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

A knock on the door and a "Come in" revealed his teammates, Rock Sakura (previously Haruno) and Uchiha Sasuke. "Hokage-sama, your meeting with Uchiha Sasuke," Sakura reported. Naruto looked up from the files on his desk and waved Sakura off who left the room closing the door softly behind her.

"So Sasuke, how's the Shinobi Alliance these days?"

"Hn. It's getting a bit too peaceful. These days it's just politics in how our academy should work and dealing with foreign politics." Sasuke replied with a bored look. It has certainly gotten really peaceful in the Five Great Nations. With the established of the United Shinobi Alliance where villages choose representatives, up to 3, to have a voice. Furthermore, shinobi and kunoichi alike can also join the Alliance as part of the fighting force. The goal to the Alliance is to eliminate all malicious practices each village have created, namely the jinchuuriki although that in itself isn't even needed anymore as well. With Council of many shinobi from over the world, everyday they review how each village is functioning under its laws, find flaws and errors and create a solution. The solution is then bought to the village in which a compromise is attempted to fit the solution.

With the Alliance's fighting force, they are able to react to dangers more quickly and efficiently than from villages as they have a much more intricate information network. Nowadays jobs from villages only consisted of D-ranks, C-ranks, and the occasional B-ranks. There are still A and S ranks which is usually pairing with shinobi from the Alliance to find difficult criminals. Recently with the peace, the Alliance as well as the villages started looking beyond the oceans and they started traveling outwards.

"So what did you come here for? You never explained in your note." Naruto said as he leaned back on his chair.

"I found something very... Interesting. An ancient kinjutsu. I'll leave this to you," Sasuke said as he procured a scroll from his robes and set it down on Naruto's desk. "I'll be staying here for a couple weeks." And then he stood up.

"Wait Sasuke! What is this?" Naruto asks while poking at the scroll thinking it might just blow up in his face.

"Just read it dobe," and with that Sasuke left the room smirking before Naruto could make a comeback.

"Teme..." Naruto muttered. Sighing he sat back down and took the scroll. He opened it and the first thing he saw was a diagram of a seal. He stared at the seal for a while, after learning Fuuinjutsu some sources, he has become quite a master at it. And the seal he saw intrigued him greatly, it was a time-space seal. He kept on reading and reading until he became completely immersed into the scroll. He didn't even noticed the time and Sakura coming in to say good bye since the day was over.

By the time Naruto was finished with the scroll, he had read it 3 times over, certain parts even more. 'This is... a time traveling kinjutsu!' Naruto kept staring at the final diagram of the seal. 'I gotta go find Kurama.' And cue in his stomach started growling. 'Hehe, guess dinner first...'

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

After dinner at Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto went straight up the Hokage Mountain. At the very top was a forest and in it lies the Kyuubi No Kitsune. After the war, Naruto found a way to extract the Kyuubi No Kitsune out of him ending his own life and announced Kyuubi to be a friend of Konohagakure who then made his home on top of the Hokage Mountain. With his chakra, Kyuubi created a small forest on top of there and lives there. At first villagers were very afraid and skeptical but as the years past by, they saw Kyuubi as a kindred spirit and also a victim of the wrongdoings in the past. Nowadays kids and adults alike go and visit the Kyuubi as like he's a hermit, which he technically is seeing as all he does is play and sleep.

Sensing Naruto's approach, Kyuubi sat up straight. "Naruto, haven't seen you the past week."

"Sorry Kurama, things have been busy lately and I couldn't find the time to get to you. I came here to also ask you about something Sasuke found." Kyuubi raised a questioning eye and lowered his head so he would be face to face with Naruto. Naruto then puts his hand on Kyuubi's muzzle and his memories of what he learned of the kinjutsu pass onto Kyuubi whose eyes widened.

"That is... Naruto. Before you start do something stupid, I will have to explain a few things that may destroy whatever you were hoping to expect." Naruto nodded at Kyuubi and sat down ready to listen to whatever his old partner has to tell him.

"Firstly, that jutsu there isn't exactly a time-traveling jutsu. It is but it's also a jutsu that sends the user to another world. As you may or may not know, our world is one of the many parallel worlds that run in the grand scheme of time. That jutsu doesn't just send you back in time but into another world... And you cannot come back."

"Furthermore, there is a very restricted requirement to be able to use this jutsu. The user must be able to connect with his person in that world in other to establish a link allowing the user to go. So if you cannot establish this connection, the jutsu is useless. In the first place, this jutsu was created for people to travel to another world in hopes of doing something he/she couldn't do in the current world."

After listening to it all, Naruto just grinned and just said, "So I just need to connect to my other self in another world to get there? I thought it'd be something harder!" Kyuubi looked at Naruto incredulously.

"Naruto, it's not that easy. Even I do not know what that specific connection is. The people who have used it from my memories were certainly not using it for your reasons as well. And even then, I can count the number of people who was able to succeed on one paw."

"I don't care! I'm still going to try this out! There is no failure in my dictionary!" And with that Naruto ran off to make plans. If he was to leave, he would need to prepare including his successor. 'Aw man... I hope the people don't chew me out too much on this...'

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

The next day, Naruto went off to find Sasuke and as expected found him sitting in the one cafe he always have every single morning. "Ohayo Sasuke-teme!" Naruto waved at him and sat in a seat across him. "That thing you bought me certainly is... a surprise."

"Hn, so I take it you are going to attempt it?" Sasuke asked, putting down his cup of tea.

"Yeah, I just thought to come to you first to thank you for it and hope you come to the Council meeting later on."

Sasuke looked at his sworn-brother and smiled, "I knew you would try and do it if given the chance. The world is already a better place thanks to you, I doubt the people here would have any qualms in you attempting this. I'll be there Naruto."

"Thanks Sasuke! See you laters!" And Naruto went to the roofs heading towards Konohamaru's home to tell him about the Council meeting.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

To his unexpected expectations, the meeting went well, a unanimous vote even. He told everyone there his intentions in regards to the jutsu and stating his resignation while announcing Konohamaru to be the next Hokage. Everyone in the council knew Naruto and how he has been since the war. Naruto has went over the duty of Hokage and created peace throughout the entire shinobi world. Konohamaru was also a very promising shinobi and he takes after a lot after Naruto so the people have nothing to deny Naruto in his quest for a better future, if even in another world.

After the end of the meeting, he was stopped by Hyuga Hanabi and Akimichi Choji.

"Naruto, you must please save Shikamaru and Ino. PLEASE." Choji requested while grasping Naruto's hand in his own. Choji was the only one out of the trio that lived and he had been eating away at him for the longest time. It was only 2 years ago he started reverting back to his former self under the constant meetings with Naruto who tried to pull him together and succeeded.

"I will Choji. I promise you I will save them this time, and I don't go back on my words. You know it!" Choji smiled a sincere smile. Being with Naruto personally for some time, he has looked up to Naruto. Naruto lost much more precious people than he did and yet he still lives each day to the fullest unlike himself after the war.

"Naruto-sama, I trust this time you will protect my sister?" Hanabi asked while glaring at Naruto. She doesn't blame Naruto for her beloved sister's death, no, she blames herself from being unable to save her sister because she was too young. Naruto understood Hanabi's glare was more a plea, and he patted her head.

"Don't worry Hanabi-chan. I will make sure this time around, everything will be better. It will be." Hanabi smiled at the blonde Hokage, a true man and a very kind one and whenever he says he's going to make it happen, he will do everything in his power to accomplish that goal. Which is the very main reason everyone in the shinobi world thanks Naruto for each and every passing day free of fear.

The day after the council meeting, Naruto asked for the village's attention and opinions and more to his elation, no one in the village rejected his quest either. They all cheered him on wishing him luck. With tears forming at his eyes, Naruto could only wave at them while smiling.

At the end of the day, Naruto along with Sakura, Sasuke, and Lee went to have dinner at the BBQ restaurant.

"Naruto-kun! I wish you good luck in your venture! And please do save Neji-kun as well!" Lee said pleadingly at Naruto.

"Don't worry Lee, I will make sure everyone lives this time around. I will stop Madara before he even summons the Juubi."

Sakura looked at the blonde who she thinks of as a brother. "Naruto, please don't over do it okay? And make sure you eat well and brush your teeth twice a day. Wash your clothes properly and put-"

"I get it! Jeez kaa-sama." Sakura lightly bops him in the head with a hand chop.

"Naruto, I know you know what I want you to do so I'll spare you the talk. I do, however, want to tell you to remember that you aren't alone. Even if you go into a world different than ours, the people are still there and they will believe in you. You tend to forget that you have people behind you sometimes, remember you don't become a Hokage, the-"

"People chooses you to become Hokage." Naruto finishes. "I know Sasuke, I know. It's just, sometimes I get tunnel vision you know? I feel like if I don't get this done, something bad is going to happen."

"We know Naruto, we've been with you since we were 8. Just please, don't over do it okay? Remember we love you." Sakura said softly.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

After dinner, Naruto went to Kyuubi asking for help on the jutsu. The first seal in the scroll is for establishing a link to the other world but it doesn't explain what is needed to establish and how. The only thing Kyuubi could suggest is pour chakra into the seal and see what happens. Naruto did as suggested and nothing happened. He tried again and again to no avail. It was past midnight until Kyuubi told Naruto to go home and leave him with the scroll to study. After a small argument, Naruto left defeated.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

'Help... Somebody... Anybody...! Ji-san! Ahhhhhh!' Naruto woke with a start. Clutching his head, 'What was that? Who was that voice?' The voice was young but Naruto can't help but think that voice is his. 'But I don't sound like a girl...' And a small revelation dawned. He got up quickly, made himself presentable and ran out his apartment towards Kyuubi.

"Kurama! I heard a voice in my dreams or at least I think it's a dream. The voice was asking for help, could this be the connection?"

"Probably. This scroll only describes the connection to be established as something you must have in common whatever that means. Since now, assuming, you have a connection, you just need to use that final seal to enact the jutsu." Naruto nodded and proceeded with forming the handseals needed to create the fuuinjutsu. Naruto hesitated for a moment at the final hand seal biting his lower lips.

"If you're worried about farewells, I can do it for you Naruto." Naruto looked up at Kyuubi and said thanks smiling. He performed the final hand seal needed and slammed it into the ground. Runes started spreading under Naruto's hand and then wrapped around him until it became a cocoon of runes. It started to shrink and just before it disappeared out of existence, Kyuubi shot a small amount of chakra into the disappearing cocoon.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

First it was all dark and then when Naruto opened his eyes, he found himself in a river of a sort but he was flying. The river was turquoise in color, it is a beautiful spectacle. Naruto stopped spectating at the surroundings when he realized he doesn't know what to do at point and started to panic.

"Stop panicking Naruto," Naruto looked besides him to find a very miniature size Kyuubi. "I sent a small clone of me to explain what is going to happen from here on. Currently you are in the Life Stream, a stream that holds all life that travels in and out of every single world. What you need to do now is to focus on that connection and follow it. If you cannot, you will be stuck here forever."

Naruto nodded and started concentrating. A few minutes past and then he heard it.

'Help...'

'Help... somebody...'

Naruto opened his eyes and he saw it, an orange line appeared in front of him as if a guideline towards his goal. "Take it Naruto, it'll bring you to what you want to go to." Kyuubi started flickering and said, "Guess this is about as far as I go. Good luck Naruto and good bye... Thanks for everything. Really."

Naruto looked his long time partner. The one being that was with him since the beginning of his life, literally. "Good bye, partner. Thank you for being there for me. I was never alone because you were there as well in me." Kyuubi grinned at Naruto and disappeared. Naruto looking ahead pulled at the orange line and he disappeared from the Life Stream. 'My other self eh... Heh. I'm coming!'

"One more thing, apparently depending on how far back you go, your body will also change accordingly, as in you getting younger. I don't know how that's going to affect you but just a heads up gaki." Kyuubi whispered.

'NANI?!' was Naruto's last thoughts at the time.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

October 10th. For any normal children, whenever it is their birthday, it is supposedly a day of happiness and love and warmth. There are many children in this world, however, that doesn't know of such beautiful things and may never will either due to whatever circumstances pushed onto them. One such child is a 8-years-old girl, Uzumaki Misaki. A little girl of about 4'2'', she wears a long long sleeved kimono with a short skirt to not hinder mobility. She also wears knee socks along with traditional ninja tabi. She wears her hair in a high pony-tail and her bangs framing her face and the front bangs covers her eyes slightly.

Stumbling in the darkness, not because there isn't light but because she is blind due to an accident some years ago, Misaki tries to maneuver through the alleys back to her home. Earlier today, she had a birthday celebration with the Sandaime Hokage but she having to face the evils of society head on, found very little to no happiness in that celebration.

Sarutobi as like every year, buys her a new yukata kimono to wear and this year was no different. A new one to match her growing height, even if not by much, Sarutobi still does so. The girl never expressed a like in a particular thing aside from the times he visits her and talks with her. He tried to stay with her as long as possible each and every birthday buy could never stay all day with her.

She is thankful of the Hokage being there for her every available times he can permit. After the little party, she went her way to the top of the Hokage Mountain and sat there. Being blind for more than half her life, Misaki has found other means of perceiving the word, that is to say using her other 4 senses as well as her chakra, unknowingly. She, however, dozed off on the Mountain and by the time she woke, it was nightfall. Misaki started panicking and made her way down the mountain.

She knows the villagers dislikes her but not many dares to lift a finger to her least they face the wrath of the Hokage but on this one particular day, the villagers shows no quarter. They would talk more, throw stuff at her, and to an even more extreme point, attack her. One incident 4 years ago left her blind, in this exact same day and from then on, she never stayed out late. There were also other times where people dared to attack her because she was blind and because of that, her body is already one like a shinobi who has been in war far too long. Scars and bruises and burns run rampant in places that is thankfully hidden in clothes and knee socks. Other children already bullies her and sometimes abuse her because of their parents, if they saw how bad she looked, who knows what more would happen.

Misaki was about 2 houses down and feeling elated to having not meeting anyone hostile on the way, she dashed out of the shadows and made a beeline towards her apartment. This action, however, backfired and having sensed the hostility and hearing the wind break due to objects flying, she barely evaded the shurikens that are now lodged onto the spot she was at before. Misaki can feel 4-5 people up on the rooftops and berated herself for nothing checking her surroundings.

As soon as the 5 shinobi started moving, she started running down another alley.

"Come back you demon brat!"

"It's time you face justice!"

"There's no escape!"

Misaki doesn't know what she did wrong, she certainly has never done anything the past 4 years and she highly doubts her infant self could've done anything wrong either but regardless she ran. The problem at this point is the yelling drew other people, villagers and other shinobi alike. Misaki kept running from alley to alley to finally a dead end. One exit of the alley blocked by villagers and behind her shinobi as well as on top. Misaki started backing to a wall and sat down trembling.

"Help... Somebody... Anybody! Jiji-san!" Misaki screamed out.

"MISAKI!" Sarutobi yelled out. He was right outside the crowd trying to move in along with a couple other ANBU. They however, cannot lift a finger against civilians and the other shinobi are proving to be a very big hassle as some were blocked by civilians and any mistake could prove fatal. Sarutobi nonetheless kept trying to push through while looking in horror as the villagers moved in on her with one raising a shovel ready to bash the poor girl. 'No!'

The shovel came down and hit nothing. A couple feet away, a boy wearing an orange short-sleeved haori with red flames at the bottom was holding Masaki. One look at her and the boy knew this was himself in this world. He stood up carrying the little girl bridal style and looked himself. 'Oh gawd dammit! I'm like 12 or 13!? This was NOT what I expected! DAMN YOU KYUUBI!' Naruto screamed in his mind. 'And my clothes shrunk too?! The heck is this jutsu!?'

Naruto's mind rant got broken as the villagers started moving surrounding the boy.

"Boya, you shouldn't be here. Isn't it past your bedtime?"

"You need to get away from that demon brat."

Naruto looked around him. His eyes flared and before he could reply, he heard a very familiar voice. "Misaki!" Sarutobi cried out again. "Whoever you know, please get her to safety!" Naruto looked at the direction where the voice came from and saw Sarutobi Hiruzen. The person he saw as a grandfather. He almost started crying but he snapped out of his thoughts as attacks started coming in from everywhere.

Pulling out a three-pronged kunai, he flicked it at a opening just so he could Hirashin out of the current vicinity. Afterwards he threw the kunai straight at Sarutobi and flickered right before it nearly hit him. Naruto stood on of a villager's head scratching his head sheepishly. "Sorry if that scared you jiji-san."

Sarutobi and the ANBU took a look at the boy and was shocked at the resemblance the boy bore with the Yondaime. They snapped out of their thoughts as they realized Misaki is safe. Sarutobi put a hand on Naruto and they flickered out and the ANBU done the same. The villagers and shinobi were very confused at what happened. One moment the boy was there and the next he completely disappeared.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

Sarutobi along with Naruto, Misaki and the 2 ANBU appeared on top of the Hokage Tower. There were so many questions but before anyone else said anything, Naruto started, "Before we start with the questions, why don't we go to someplace more safe and soundproof ne?" The Hokage and the ANBU looked at the boy and they nodded in agreement and went into the office.

As Naruto went into the office, nostalgia hit. After his death, much of the office was changed and renovated by Tsunade. "Wow, it's been a while since I've been in your office jiji-san." Naruto said as he went and sat down on the couch with Misaki still in his arms who was clutching onto his clothes with all her might. She was thoroughly as confused as the other 3 people present in the room.

Sarutobi started with the questions, "Who are you?" Naruto had to think for a while. Should he tell them about his circumstances or not?

'Might as well, keeping secrets is never a good thing anyways. Yosh!' Naruto started smiling. "Alright, what I'm about to say is going to sound unbelievable but it's the truth and nothing but the truth." Sarutobi motioned Naruto to continue.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto. Rokudaime Hokage. I'm from the future of another world." The people present in the room looked at Naruto as if he grew another head. Just before they even said anything more, Naruto took out the necklace he gotten. "See? I got this necklace from Tsunade-baachan when she became Hokage." Sarutobi looked at the necklace and some suspicions were erased but...

"Ok, say you do come from the future, why are you here? What are you hoping to accomplish Uzumaki-san?" Sarutobi asked.

Naruto explained his circumstances, how his world as finally achieved the peace that Jiraiya have dreamed of, a world of peace where war is a thing in the past now. However, with what its for, too many good people have died. Far too many. Naruto left out the specific names. "I don't want to see anyone precious to me die anymore. And you can call me Naruto, no need to be so formal... If anything, I should be the one jiji-san."

"You know how unbelievable your story sounds right Uzu-... Naruto-kun?" Sarutobi asked. Naruto nodded in reply. "So saying your story is true, I highly doubt the village would allow a 12-years-old boy to be Hokage. May you explain that?"

Naruto smiled sheepishly. "Well, I wasn't reading the jutsu and its effects. Apparently as I travel, my body would become younger to accommodate the timeline. Or at least that's what Kyuubi told me." At mention of the name, the 3 shinobi in the room tensed up. Sensing this, Naruto explained, "Kyuubi in my world is a citizen of Konohagakure and he's a really nice... fox. Really. I'm sure the Kyuubi here is the same as well, given enough time that is... He's still mad you know."

"So is the Kyuubi...?" Sarutobi wondered.

"No, the Kyuubi is no longer in me. I found a way to set him free without ending myself. It wasn't easy just so you know."

All this talk, Misaki didn't fully understand. The only thing she understood was this Naruto person, who's still holding her on his lap, came from a place that's very far away and he's supposed to be her? She couldn't understand the concepts. She suddenly realized she was really tired and sleepy and yawned. That yawned bought the attention of the shinobi in the room to her. Naruto himself just remembered he was still holding onto her.

"Sorry um... Misaki-chan?" Misaki turned her head towards to where she thinks Naruto's face is at.

"It's okay Uzumaki-san. Although I would appreciate if you allow me to sit myself." Naruto scratched his head sheepishly and set her down on the seat next to him. After doing so, he noticed she hasn't opened her eyes the entire time he saved her.

"Ne Misaki-chan, are you okay? You can open your eyes now. The bad people aren't anywhere near. "

Misaki only turned towards Naruto and replied, "It wouldn't matter. I'm blind." Tick... tock...

"Nani?" Naruto cocked his head sideways and looked at Sarutobi for an explanation and explaining Sarutobi did. By the end of it, Naruto was seething with anger. "I know I can't really blame them but this still makes me so...!" Naruto clenched his fists so hard they were turning white.

"Uzumaki-san, it's okay."

"What do you mean it's okay?!" Naruto yelled out standing up. Looking at her, Naruto only sucked his teeth and sat back down. If Misaki was anything like him, she is a very forgiving person.

"I may have lost my sight now but I can still 'see' using other methods. I can still hear, touch, taste, and feel. It's okay really. Thank you for your concern Uzu-"

"Naruto. You don't need to be so formal to me too, it feels weird." Naruto then looked at Sarutobi. "Jiji-san, I have a request. Since I don't have a place to stay in this world or anything, can I go live with Misaki-chan? I would have a place to stay and I can protect her."

Sarutobi pondered on this. On one hand, it would benefit greatly to Misaki to have someone like Naruto with her but on the other hand, the boy was an enigma. Looking at his eyes however, he knew there was no reason to not trust Naruto. "Permission granted. Since you both have the same last names, I'll just put you in the village records as her brother. Will that be fine?"

"Yatta! Awesome, I always wanted to be a big brother! And now I have this cute little imouto!" Naruto said pumping both fists in the air. He then got up and turned to Misaki, "I'll be under your care from now on Misaki-chan!"

Misaki couldn't say anything at first. She was going to have someone live with her who is going to be her brother and protect her. She kept thinking she's dreaming and felt very faint. Before passing out, she merely replied politely, "I'll be under your care as well Naruto-niisan." And then she fell asleep. Everyone tensed up as she closed her eyes but hearing her breathing, they sighed in relief seeing as she just feel asleep.

"Ne jiji-san, I have one more request... Would you so happen to have the names of the people who did this to Misaki-chan?" Naruto asked, his face passive.

"I may have some of them. You're not going to-" Sarutobi got cut off.

"I was the Hokage, I wouldn't fall so low as to kill them no. Don't worry, I'm just going to... Have some fun ne? There won't be any injuries, just some fun..." Naruto crackled darkly. Sarutobi and the ANBU winced at the sight the blonde. Who knew he could have such a side to him? Sarutobi stood up and moved to a nearby shelf and procured a scroll.

"This is a personal and private record. Please do not miss-use it Naruto-kun." Sarutobi then handed Naruto the scroll.

"I won't. You can trust me -attebayo!" Naruto placed the scroll in his jacket and turned around to pick up Misaki.

"I assume you know where she lives?"

"The apartment by the south side with the balcony?" Sarutobi nodded and Naruto went to pick up Misaki bridal style. 'A family eh?' Smiling with his goofy smile, he started to walk out. "See you around jiji-san, Kakashi-sensei, Yamato-sensei!" And Naruto left leaving two bewildered ANBU. Sarutobi chuckled.

'Rokudaime Hokage eh? And Tsunade is the Godaime because of him. He's certainly something.' Sarutobi dismissed the two ANBU knowing Naruto can more than take care of the girl. 'Hirashin. Minato, your daughter, or son, has certainly grown to be a fine young man.'

The next morning, screams can be heard throughout the village at various locations.

"WHY ARE ALL MY CLOTHES PINK!?"

"AHHH! FROGS! AHHHHHHH!"
