CHAPTER 1: PROLOGUE

FLASHBACK(italics)

Four years had gone by since the end of the Fourth Great Shinobi war. The war ended with two men coming out as heroes. The two men, who were rivals when they were young, grew up following two different paths and ended up becoming the two strongest ninjas of the era. The two of them once again ended up serving the same village. But after four years when a new leader had to replace the old leader, only one of them could take the title, the title of the Rokudaime Hokage of Konohagakure. For the previous village leader, the elders, the shinobi council and the daimyo, it was a rather easy choice. They went with the obvious choice of choosing the former village pariah who earned the title of the most notorious prankster of the Village in his childhood, went on to become the dead-last in the academy, saved the village from the formerly insane jinchuuriki of Sunagakure, saved the Godaime Kazekage of Sunagakure from the Akatsuki, saved the village from being annihilated by Pain, became the hero of the village and then became the hero of the shinobi world rescuing everyone from the wrath of Uchiha Madara, the man who finally brought peace into the shinobi world, Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto.

This obviously didn't sit well with his rival, Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke as a shinobi had been through a lot. When he was only seven years old, he saw his idol, his older brother, Uchiha Itachi slaughter through his entire clan. He swore revenge against his older brother and pushed everyone away. Following the path of an avenger, he ran away from the village, he joined hands and trained under the traitorous Sannin of Konoha, Orochimaru. Three years later, he killed Orochimaru. He then formed his own team and went after Itachi. After killing Itachi and attaining his revenge, he found out that Itachi was in fact a true shinobi who was ordered by his own village to destroy the Uchiha clan to prevent a coup d'état. After learning the truth about Itachi, he swore to destroy his former village, Konohagakure. His sharingan evolved into a mangekyo sharingan and he joined the Akatsuki. He tried to capture the Jinchuuriki of the Hachibi, Killer Bee. However he failed. He then learned about one of his primary targets, Danzo going to the Gokage Kaidan in Tetsu no Kuni as the Hokage. He attacked the Gokage Kaidan and the five kage in an open assault. He escaped thanks to Tobi's intervention. He then fought and killed Danzo. He then tried killing his former team mate, Haruno Sakura and his former sensei, Hatake Kakashi, only to be stopped by his arch rival, Uzumaki Naruto. For the sake of killing Naruto, he had Itachi's eyes implanted into him, which gave him the power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. He then fought alongside the reanimated Uchiha Itachi against Yakushi Kabuto. After defeating Kabuto, he revived Orochimaru. He then decided to clear all his doubts with the four Hokages who were revived thanks to Orochimaru's edo-tensei no jutsu. After hearing the truth about shinobi and villages form the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, he decided to help the alliance in their battle against Tobi and the revived Madara. He alongside Naruto defeated the nearly invincible jinchuuriki of the Juubi, Madara after defeating Obito (Tobi). Orochimaru finally died during the war. He then joined Konoha as a shinobi under the Godaime Hokage, Senju Tsunade. He was pardoned for all his crimes by the Gokage thanks to the man who was hailed as the hero of the shinobi world, his best friend and rival, Uzumaki Naruto. He then decided to become the next Hokage of Konoha and change the village and the shinobi world himself. He found out later that the villagers no longer trusted him anymore. His former classmates and even his former fan-girl, Haruno Sakura looked at him with cold and untrusting eyes. The Konoha council wanted him placed in CRA alongside Naruto, whose heritage was finally announced to the village. Naruto got marriage proposals from other villages including Kurotsuchi from Iwa, the Mizukage herself, Mei Terumi from Kiri and Samui who Naruto unsealed from the Rikudou's urn from Kumo. While all Sasuke got were weak civilian girls. He however continued enduring it all with his goals and ambitions in mind. However his goals and dreams were hit hard when he heard that his rival and best friend, Naruto would become the next Hokage.

While he always knew that Naruto was the more favored candidate, he just couldn't bear the thought of following orders of someone he considered to be way below himself. His pride and ego would never allow him to follow the orders of the former dead-last who had become stronger with each and every single passing day. He knew they were evenly matched. Maybe Naruto was a little stronger due to his tenant and his determination to never give up, but he would rather be dead than follow the orders of the former dead-last. However for the sake of his goals, he decided to swallow his pride, continue serving under Naruto patiently and wait till Naruto retired to become the next Hokage.

A month had passed by and Naruto had officially taken over as the Rokudaime Hokage. Naruto had then begun training Sarutobi Konohamaru to be his successor. That was the last straw for Sasuke. He knew that if this continued, he would never become Hokage. And that would end everything. As long as Naruto remained the Hokage, his ambitions and goals would never be full-filled. He decided to take matters into his own hands. He attacked and killed Haruno Sakura and Hatake Kakashi. Sasuke knew that Naruto cared deeply for the two of them. Sakura was his first love, who later became a sister figure for Naruto. Kakashi was Naruto's sensei and one of the few people Naruto looked up to. He then sent a note to Naruto telling him to meet him at the Valley of the End, where they would fight one last time.

AT THE VALLEY OF THE END (present time)

Two figures were standing at top the two statues. Both bleeding profusely and panting hard. They had been fighting for five days continuously with neither coming out on top. On top of Madara's head stood, Uchiha Sasuke. His armor had been destroyed. His cloak with the Uchiha crest was in tatters. He currently stood with shirtless with black anbu pants. On top of Hashirama's head stood Uzumaki Naruto, the Rokudaime Hokage. His bright orange shirt was totally burnt off. His red cloak with black flames that had the crest of the Uzumaki clan on his right shoulder, the kanji for sage on the left shoulder and the kanji for the Rokudaime Hokage on his back printed similar to that of his father, the Yondaime, had three holes and was lying on the water. He currently stood wearing just his mesh armor and his orange pants. The two of them just had enough strength left in them for one final attack.

"I finally understand why Madara did what he did all those years ago. Back then I had only heard Hashirama's side of the story." Sasuke said.

"Why Sasuke? After all we have been through. Why?" Naruto asked him one final time.

"You'll never understand. Let's end this. This has gone long enough. I know you only have the strength for one final attack. So do I. I am going to attack you with my final most powerful technique. Let's see who the stronger one among us is. And don't you dare hold back. I know you pulled back your Rasengan during our last fight here. If you dare to hold back on me, I will finish off what I started and I'll kill all your wives and the rest of your friends." Sasuke said.

"Fine." Naruro replied. He knew he didn't have a choice here. He had to fight to kill Sasuke this time.

Naruto went into Biju Mode and then entered his Sage Mode. He then started creating his Bijudama. He then infused it with his wind element and water element which started rotating around the Bijudama giving the appearance of a miniature Saturn.

Sasuke activated his Susanoo and covered his blade with the flames of Amaterasu. He then infused lightning chakra into the blade which made the blade look like it was covered with blue and black flames that were producing an electrifying sound.

Sasuke screamed, "This is it, then. Narutooooo."

"Sasukeeee."

The two of them jumped towards each other as their attack clashed. Their attacks destroyed the entire valley including the two statues. They were then surrounded by a black orb, similar to the one in their first clash, only much bigger that it could be seen from Konoha.

When Naruto finally woke up, he was lying on a bed. He checked with his tenant. He found Kurama also sleeping due to nearly complete depletion of chakra. He couldn't move his arms. He looked up and he recognized the ceiling. He was in the Konoha Hospital. He couldn't move any part of his body. He couldn't even move his neck to check out his surroundings. With Sakura dead, he expected Moegi or Tsunade to be the one treating him.

Suddenly the door opened and a nurse he came in. He knew he had seen her face but she looked much younger than he remembered. She saw him and her eyes widened "You're awake!" she screamed.

Naruto tried to reply but she immediately ran out. He made a mental note to tell Moegi about her rude behavior when he met her.

After twenty minutes, four people entered the room. Since he couldn't move his neck, he couldn't see who they were. He could only hear their footsteps.

Suddenly, he heard a voice saying, "Who are you? Explain."

Naruto had assumed that he was in Konoha. He hadn't seen this question coming. Besides, there was hardly anyone in any nation who didn't recognize the face of the man who brought peace to the Shinobi world.

The voice asked again, "Who are you?"

"The name is Naruto." replied Naruto, who thought that maybe he was in another village that didn't recognize him. The voice then asked, "Where are you from?"

"Konoha." Naruto replied.

As soon as he replied, there were sudden gasps and muttering going around between the four people.

Then he heard a nostalgic voice. It was the voice of an old man. A voice he hadn't heard in years. "If you are indeed from Konoha, how come I don't know you?"

Naruto was feeling confused and he was irritated. He replied, "Now that depends on who you are."

The old man asked the nurse for permission and asked someone to bend Naruto forward so that he could see him.

Naruto was forcefully bent forward and turned by a man who was wearing a bear faced Anbu mask.

While turning Naruto saw another Anbu wearing a turtle mask and the nurse that had run away from the room earlier and then he saw another man. The words suddenly escaped from his mouth.

"Jiji?"

Author's Note:

I know i ended with a cliff-hanger. Sorry about that. This was my first fan fiction. And I'm really nervous about it. I know there are so many time-travel fan fictions based on Naruto. But i couldn't resist. I sort of re-wrote it. Some changes have been made. Those who follow my story might notice these changes. I made these changes with future chapters in mind.
