Naruto Fanfic: A New Start

The light of the sun was glaring through the open window. The light began to fill the small room when it met the face of Uzumaki Naruto. Not able to stand the light going through his eyelids he woke up rubbing his face. Laying in bed going over what he had to do today in his mind he opened his eyes and looked across the room.

The blonde was surprised as to find himself in a room that was not his own. His mind went onto the alert and searched the room for an assailant. It was a basic room, the twin sized bed he was sitting on, a desk and a door to a closet. The room seemed familiar to him and noticed the position of walls, doors and windows, and he finally noticed that the walls were in the same place as he had in his room, except his more expensive furniture was missing replaced with much cheaper ones. The room reminded him of the apartment he lived in when he was much younger. And that was when it hit him; the room was an exact replica of his run-down apartment.

Naruto immediately jumped out of bed and ran to were his bathroom was placed. In the mirror was Naruto in all his glory… although he was about two feet shorter than the last time he checked the bathroom mirror. His hand absent mindedly rubbed his cheek, feeling the natural pleasure that came making sure the image in the mirror was really him.

And in a loud childish voice he screamed. "What… the… hell!" He ran back out of the bathroom and ran to his apartment window. He looked out and he could see his home village Konohagakure, except it was younger than last night he guessed.

Naruto tried to remember the night before but it seemed to just be a blur, he can only recall his last day seemingly normal, training with Sakura-chan, Sai, Yamato-sensei and Kakashi-sensei as well team Gai, some ramen with Iruka-sensei, team eight and their sensei, and a casual meeting with team ten save for their sensei who has passed away a year ago, a meeting with Tsunade and Shizune and then, nothing.

His mind was in a typhoon of questions and theories. Naruto tried to think back again to his past life.

He remembered where he was supposedly yesterday. He was seventeen and he, finally chunnin. Naruto was having trouble with getting Sasuke back, along with many other problems with Akatsuki and Oto.

Naruto began taking deep breaths, no matter the situation it's always good to keep calm he remembered from a lecture courtesy from his one eyed sensei.

"How can I be sure I'm in the past?" Naruto said. This is crazy, it's impossible… is it? He thought for a moment and his eyes widened. Without even thinking of getting dressed he jumped out the open window. Naruto flew over the dirt road and landed skidding to a stop on the opposing building in his bare feet but could not even fathom any pain at the sight he saw.

There on the Hokage mountain was instead of the five heads there were only four. 'Tsunade-no-baachan's head is gone.' Naruto looked down as he was wearing a pair of light blue sleepwear, he looked back to the window he exited and absent mindedly measured the distance between his apartment and his landing spot.

"That's like… sixty feet, I could never jump that far without thinking about it until I was thirteen." Naruto looked at his hand admiring how all the minuscule scars he had were now gone. He focused on his hand and chakra began to seep out of a single point in his palm. The chakra flared up in strings until it was surrounded by a thin layer of chakra.

Naruto stared utterly surprised at the Rasengan in his hand. He looked at it in his hand and let it disperse. This was becoming to much for the boy and he could already feel the migraine coming on.

"I guess, I'll take a walk." He said plainly. Still in his night clothes Naruto walked calmly to the side of the building and jumped down into an alleyway, avoiding his gaze from the eyes of ninety-nine percent of the village.

Naruto exited the narrow street and walked off in some random direction, ignoring all the sharp looks directed at him. Naruto focused on his breathing, letting his short legs take him where they wanted him to go.

'What could have possibly happened?' He asked himself, 'Was it some jutsu I messed up on, could it be a…'

That's when it hit him.

Naruto looked up to see he was still in the slums of Konoha, he turned and saw one of the many alleyways going between the main roads. He turned and bolted into the darkness wanting to avoid public eye. If his guess was right he was wasting valuable time.

He found an opening that diverged from the alleyway but Naruto was too focused on his theory to question some architects on why was it there. He moved into the middle and once again he tried to slow his breathing, it was actually beginning to feel nice being calm, maybe he should try it a litt- no! he was getting sidetracked.

The blonde slapped his palms together and began exerting his chakra to cancel a possible genjutsu.

One hour later:

Naruto sighed as he let his progress die out, after so long and making absolutely no headway. He sadly came to pass that he was not in a genjutsu and this is very real.

Naruto looked at himself and noticed that his sleep clothes were drenched in sweat.

Naruto looked around searching for others, jumped onto the rooftops and walked over to the edge to meet the dirt road. He turned and looked to the direction of his apartment and jogged off on the rooftops.

Later:

Naruto slowed down on his jog and saw the open window of his apartment and easily jumped back through completely unseen.

Naruto took off the top relieving himself of the cold sweat drenched shirt. He looked to the closet and a moment later opened the door. In it was a numerous number of different clothes to which Naruto remembered as clothes he got from the old man or from garbage cans…

Old man… old man… OLD MAN! Naruto eyes widened and he stood their in complete shock. Everyone he knew who have passed away are still alive and have another chance to live. Naruto's eyes hardened and his determined face rose as he vowed, on his blood, that everyone will survive.

'I need to protect everyone like in my ninja way.' But in a moment of pure intellect he thought. 'But wouldn't everything have to go the same for the same things to happen?'

Naruto sat down on his bed thinking, he laid down and sat there thinking. 'No, it doesn't have to be the exact same, but everyone else has to think that. But what do I change?'

Naruto turned to the small desk on the opposite side of the room to see a notebook. Naruto got up and walked over to it and sat down at the desk. He took a pen from the drawer next to the desk. He looked at the paper for a moment before he came up with an idea.

In bold letters at the top he wrote…

A New Start

Naruto continued to write thinking up everything he needed to do. He's been given something no one could ever have and he wasn't going to waste it, a second chance at life, how he wanted it to go.

The Next Day:

Naruto woke up to see that he at least made his way to his bed before going out like a light. He looked towards the bed stand and saw his list of rules and things to complete for his new life. Naruto then turned to look up and saw a calendar with dates written on the slots; and judging from the red Xs he missed the academy yesterday.

Naruto got up and stretched, he walked over to his closet and searched it's contents. After practically digging through the closet he pulled out some decent clothes.

A pair of grey fading to white over sized jeans, a white t-shirt and a black sweatshirt with an orange swirl on the back. Naruto zipped up the sweatshirt half-way and went back to his note on the bedside.

Naruto looked upon the paper and noted that they're were tons of things he wanted to get done but at the top of the list shown his weakest yet most important fault.

1. Learn some Genjutsu damn it! It's not suppose to take fifteen minutes to cancel a genjutsu!

Naruto looked through other remarks when there was suddenly a roar that sounded like a jet plane went by his house. Naruto finally noticed that he hadn't eaten yesterday.

Running downstairs he entered the kitchen and began looking for something to eat while reading the list.

17. Try to get Sakura-chan to NOT want to beat the crap out of you if you mess something up!

Then Naruto looked down to the next one and had a slightly surprised face as he pulled out a bowl of instant ramen.

18. There are more girls in our class than Sakura-chan, pay attention to Hinata and Ino a little more too!

Naruto was pretty surprised that he wrote that in his brain storm euphoria, but after giving it time to think as his ramen cooked and cooled that maybe it was for the better. Sakura was unconditionally head-over heals for Sasuke and Hinata and Ino aren't that bad looking or truly bad people.

28. You still have to be the dead-last or people might become suspicious!

Naruto's jaw dropped, how could he have possibly have come up with that! But that did make some sense and it's just like going back to the academy… for another five years. Naruto sighed and he cried anime tears as he took another slurp from his ramen cup and looked back at the paper.

31. Learn how to complete the Rasenshuriken and have it not slash up your arm.

Naruto contemplated all the possibilities if he make that spinning ball of death not slash up his arms when he uses it.

32. After able to complete the Rasenshuriken is completed learn medical jutsu! Then teach Sakura-chan it!

Now Naruto was surprised, who the hell wrote this stuff down! (Author whistles to himself while looking off in another direction to his computer.)

48: Study up on some sealing, sounds useful!

Naruto nodded and agreed with that.

After a little more reading and the passing of his breakfast Naruto looked at the clock to see it was about time he left.

He folded his list multiple times before pocketing it and running to the door. Stepping into his pair of blue sandals he walked out of his apartment. But before he left he created two shadow clones and said.

"Both of you will be going to the library, make sure you go there at different times and henge yourselves into shinobi that don't draw attention and borrow scrolls in the basics of genjutsu and sealing. Then when you are done head out to the Hokage mountain and make enough shadow clones for everyone to have a scroll… and please remember to disperse yourselves a few at a time. I don't want to suddenly faint in front of everyone alright?"

The two responded with 'hai' and left while transforming themselves into two chunnin.

Naruto turned and began walking down the street towards the academy with a spring in his step. Maybe… just maybe everything can turn out alright.

The walk only took around ten minutes for Naruto to reach the academy. Naruto passed some kids playing soccer outside the school. He never really got to know anybody his age who wasn't part of the rookie nine and didn't really care.

Naruto slid the door open and was met with an empty classroom. Naruto walked up the steps casually, it was like taking a walk down memory lane about all his failures here. Many low grades, failed jutsus and pranks of course.

He sat down at a random chair and waited for his class to start in ten minutes. Naruto reached into his pocket and pulled out his list.

He came back to where he stopped at his home and kept reading;

57: Try summoning something, the contracts may be still in tact.

Naruto thought for a moment and bit his thumb, and doing so he made some hand signs he extended his arms and two snakes escaped his jacket turned and looked at him in question. Naruto looked at it surprised before waving them off with a smile. The snakes made a shrugging movement and returned to his sleeves.

Naruto sighed and leaned back into his chair, and waited; mentally noting to talk to the snakes later; the toads will have to wait for a while with the concern of Ero-sennin.

Five minutes later:

Naruto looked up as he sensed someone with a chakra signature about to enter the room, Naruto stared intently at the door as it slid open to reveal the resident Uchiha of Konoha clad in a long sleeve black shirt with the Uchiha symbol one the back and white shorts.

Naruto was blasted with memories at full force, Sasuke, his friend was still here! That meant Naruto had time to save him, to stop him from going to the snake.

'But Sasuke's brother killed his whole clan can I stop him before it's too late?' But Naruto's heart plummeted as he saw that scowl on his face, and guessing his age, it must have been recently.

Naruto inwardly sighed, his first plan was gone out the window not even a few seconds later. The Uchiha almost floated across the room in his hateful trance and sat down and brooded as his older self does almost nonstop.

Naruto had to say something, anything, if anyone he knew what it was like to be alone and Sasuke had everything taken away from him so suddenly.

"You alright Sasuke?" Naruto said. Naruto cursed himself thinking that was a stupid thing to ask, of course he isn't alright. The boy turned and glared at him with a noticeable growl. He turned back and glared at the wall.

The blonde did not have time to think as he sensed another with an extremely low chakra signature about to enter the room. Naruto turned to see a girl with bright pink hair enter the room.

'Sakura-chan…' There was the last member save for their sensei enter the room and looked around. She spotted Naruto and she noticed he was staring at her, a second later he offered her a small smile, she turned to Sasuke. Naruto who thought he was just about to loose his crush said in a very friendly attitude. "Ohayo Sakura."

But sadly she stared at the Uchiha and Naruto saw the small tint on her cheeks rise up. She turned back and glared lightly at him, but the damage was already done.

Naruto sighed and rested his head on the desk looking out the window to his right. He heard the small steps on the stairs going up the classroom and heard. "Ohayo Sasuke do you mind if I sit next to you?"

Naruto heard a 'hn' as he guessed the boy didn't even look at her, or care. Naruto heard the faintest of gasps and he heard the chair creak as she sat on it gently.

Naruto sighed, this was going to be tough he wouldn't really be friends with her or him until around thirteen or fourteen.

The blonde reached into his pocket and pulled out the yellow slip of paper again and began reading over all of his tasks. The three sat in a comfortable silence save for Sakura who was trying to rip out her emotional block and let her confidence flood her mortal being.

The blonde was reading another one of his lines when suddenly his mind was assaulted with memories of one of his dispelled clones.

While searching for a quiet place to hide and read one of the clones seemed to have stumbled upon a manhole hiding in a bush. Not seeing anything representing a sewage or electrical pipe he opened the hatch and climbed down the stairs after sending a Bunshinto tell the other clones about this place he climbed down a ladder and came across a long corridor that seemed to have not been used for years.

He sped down the corridor through the dimly lit lights, then he came to an opening. The clone looked around and found several bookcases around the wall with closer inspection contained jutsus, experiments on human subjects and many other evil things.

And the clone said to himself, 'This is a perfect place to train and learn some new jutsu. If I had to guess it was one of Orochimaru's hideouts someone stay close to the entrance, and I'm out.'

That was it as Naruto felt that the clone dispersed itself right then and there. Naruto had to guess that the clones were on route to the entrance while someone stood guard.

Naruto returned from his musings and began to continue reading some of his list. He turned for another look at the two seven year olds sitting next to each other; one brooding away while the other trying to scavenge any confidence whatsoever.

Naruto turned back to his list when he noticed one he hadn't last time.

29. Sakura-chan kept hearing how practically no matter what someone wanted to go out with her, even if I would want to go after someone else, she won't be the confident Sakura-chan unless I somehow praise her everyday.

Naruto thought long and hard, contemplating the words, he turned back towards the almost confidence less Sakura. "You look nice today Sakura." Said girl turned to him. "Especially with your hair like that."

Naruto secretly took a leap of faith, praying that Sakura and Ino's friendship started and ended within last weekend and yesterday, stating that she started showing her forehead more rather than hiding it.

Sakura's eye's widen in surprise, she began stuttering, Naruto guessed/hoped trying to say thank you before her face hardened to the limits of a seven year old. "I don't want you to think I'm pretty."

Even with how thick the blonde's skull is he could tell that that would have been a big insult for seven year olds. Though the Haruno turned and looked hopefully at the Uchiha.

"S-sasuke, don't you think I look pretty?" Naruto watched with a hint of amusement as the Uchiha's eye turned to look at her not even turning his head and replied with another 'hn'.

And there Sakura's heart fluttered, while Naruto could tell that since it wasn't either a 'yes' or a 'no' that didn't mean anything, Sakura interpreted that as a wonderful thing accomplishing the first step what she thought was make the guy think you look nice.

Naruto sighed and looked back out of the window. He looked out into the pedestrians and was surprised when he saw a young girl with baby blue hair walking hand in hand with what Naruto could guess was her father.

He knew the girl's look and while remembering her he looked back at the cause of a whole lot of nonsense.

Flashback to two weeks before the time traveling:

The Godaime stared out into the sea of people as they gathered at the center of the village for a special announcement. To her left in a thinking daze was the village's pariah.

She called them to attention and all the murmurings ceased, she began talking. "Citizens of Konohagakure, I have come across some shocking news that may very well change our history." She paused to let that set in. She turned and saw the blonde who has not moved an inch but judging based on his eyes he was gazing out to the crowd as well.

"This important information was overlooked during the Kyuubi no Kitsune attack sixteen years ago." She wanted to sneer as she saw the adults closest to the stage leer at Naruto with an evil smirk.

"This concerns Namikaze Minato, our beloved Yondaime Hokage and the defeating of the monster." After another glance at the blonde making sure he was still there. She continued. "Namikaze-san did not kill the monster."

Tsunade watched as the younger generations all gasped in surprise with fear in their eyes, she could relate to them, finding out so suddenly that a monster that killed a third of the shinobi force plus caused the death of a Kage is not as dead as they think.

"Even our beloved Yondaime was not powerful enough to kill the dreaded beast. So he choose to find an alternative in sealing."

"He turned the monster mortal into… that thing!" An older hotheaded man yelled. Following it was shouts of agreement. The younger generations though kept to themselves. That boy was a demon? But he was always so nice, and although he did do pranks when he was younger none of them were necessarily evil.

Tsunade immediately halted the ANBU from striking down the man, he did break the Sandaime's S-class law but Tsunade can look at the blonde boy who seemed to brush all of their accusations off like they were annoying flies and say that sometimes words and regret can hurt much more than a blade.

"No!" The Hokage yelled. The crowd silenced as their leader roared. "He choose to seal it into his own son!"

Silence. Not a single word escaped anyone's lips, they can barely even comprehend her words. "The Yondaime, Namikaze Minato sealed it into Uzumaki Naruto, the Kyuubi is nothing more than a knife in a cabinet, a kunai sealed in a scroll, water in a glass."

Tsunade searched the crowd with her eyes not finding any single movement. She was saved from her losing war at smirking when she heard the voice of the blonde haired hero.

"Tsunade, I need to get out of here, I need to lie down." Naruto said in a low somber tone. The Godaime only nodded at the boy. He just found out possibly an hour before this meeting that his father was the cause of practically thirteen years of loneliness, the least she can do was let him lie down.

The crowd's eyes followed the blonde leaving finally noticing the similarities. Tall blonde spiky hair, tan skin, blue eyes and at one time radiated confidence like a star's sunlight.

Once Naruto completely left the stage he jumped up from the ground and leapt off to his apartment. The boy laid down and did get some goodnight's rest as well as some thinking.

Two days later Naruto would get out of his apartment, he took in a deep breath and let it out taking in the morning air. He may not be like how he was before he found out who his parents are but he might never get there again. He walked down the stairs to the road that was never used, nobody wanted to get close to the demon spawn as they liked to put it.

Naruto walked along the road that gradually began to increase with staring people who were completely speechless. Naruto couldn't blame them, if the target of all their hate and nightmares turned out to be their savior who's very living soul was holding back the destruction of their home, he wouldn't know what to say either.

Naruto's outfit did not help them either. He right now was wearing a white, black and red version of his orange jumpsuit. Black pants and a white jacket with red flames across the bottom.

He looked like the living embodiment of the Yondaime, now he could tell now why Tsunade got him the gift for his birthday.

He was interrupted from his thoughts as something hit him in the side of his ankle. He looked down to see that it was a ball, he knelt down and picked it up.

"Sorry Namikaze-sama." Naruto looked up to see a child no older than seven looking at him and the ball.

"It's alright, here." He said with a small smile and tossed the ball over to the girl who replied with a smile.

"Thank you Namikaze-sama." She turned and left Naruto in a daze.

Namikaze-sama? It didn't sound too far fetched, the child probably was at the meeting in the center of the village. While she could not have understood the sealing but she must have understood that he was the fourth's son. Naruto got up and looked around, the villagers old and young seemed to have a shine in their eyes now.

Naruto turned back towards his destination, he had a strange sense of foreboding following him and he didn't like staying in one place, but as he passed people they bowed and said 'Namikaze-sama'.

Naruto though intrigued did not really like the sound of this. He didn't really want anything to change truthfully. He has gotten used to his life and half wanted nothing to happen after the announcement. It was much easier for him.

Others would probably be ecstatic that they are finally getting the respect they deserve. But after so long Naruto was used to the lonely apartment he had, he was used to the silence when he felt he needed to talk to somebody, he was even used to coming home fro a terrible mission and no one really wanting to know how it went.

Eventually Naruto was able to escape the spread of worshippers of 'Namikaze-sama' to some less informed people. He continued through the silent crowd until he reached Ichiraku Ramen.

He ducked under the curtain and found the ramen bar empty save for the owners. He spied behind the counter as he saw two of his closest precious people with happy smiles.

"Happy birthday Naruto-kun." They said. Naruto smiled happily back, not his full blown grin but his newer smaller smile. They weren't able to say it on the right day because of the announcement but better late than never. He sat down and gazed happily to the side behind the counter, sixteen steaming bowls of ramen that have been on the house since he was two years old.

Naruto saw the pair of workers though add more to the table, he was about to protest against it but he was hushed when Ayame said. "It is the very least we can do for you Naruto-kun."

Naruto just smiled back a small sad one and said. "Thank you." He didn't mind the people that they he considered next to family giving him a little special treatment once in a while.

"No, thank you." The Ichirakus said with nods. Naruto just continued to smile as he ate his ramen in peace.

I actually did not realise that it kind of followed the idea of My Name is Earl but I think it will be helpful. Please review however you want!
