Hey, everyone. This is my first try at a story. So please try to forgive me for my mistakes. Please don't send any hate mails and definitely not ones like 'you must be hanged', 'go drown yourself'. I will try to update this story as frequently as I can, though only if I get good response. This will be a time travel story. I will try to keep it as close to the original as possible but still make some minor changes of my own. No bashing and good Sasuke. No OCs.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. It is owned by Masashi (hope the spelling is correct and I don't know his last name)

I will be using bold to highlight names for the first time.

Fourth Shinobi World War

One Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki was about to die. He knew it because his 'tenant', Kurama, was ripped out of him and was added to the gedo statue. It was just moments before the ten tails – Jyuubi, would be released laying destruction on the five great elemental nations. Naruto's dad – Minato Namikaze did manage to transport the yin half of Kurama, which he had sealed into himself 17 years ago, into Naruto. But, even he knew that all the odds were stacked up against him and his son.

Inside the mind of Naruto, the images of all the people, whom he considered as precious to him and who were lying dead on the battlefield were flashing past. Neji was the first person to die, giving his life to protect Naruto from a tailed beast ball from the five-tails which was under the control of Madara Uchiha. The next to die was Rock Lee and Maito Guy sensei. They were fighting Madara and opened all of their eight gates, but in vain and only for them to die instead. Then in line were Chouji and Sai. Chouji had died after taking the last pill- the red chilli pill, as a last resort to take out as many Zetsu clones as possible. Sai was assisting Chouji though eventually, after his teammate's fall, he also fell. Ino and Sakura had died due to severe chakra exhaustion due to trying to heal their comrades. Tenten had taken down at least 20 clones along with her when she used a different type of Exploding Tag, sacrificing herself to buy some time for the others. Kiba and Akamaru did the same with themselves. Shino had used himself as a decoy and was killed. Kakashi sensei had died fighting against Obito. Shikamaru had died fighting alongside him. He was one of his best friends, yet he could not save him. But the worst that hit Naruto was the death of Hinata. His Hinata, the shy girl from academy who had always fainted when he talked to her. The same girl who fearlessly came to his rescue when he was pinned down during Pain's invasion and confessed her love for him and died only to be revived. The girl who never stopped believing in him even though he himself did not believe in himself sometimes. She had died trying to come to his rescue again only to be killed by Obito Uchiha. Only Sasuke Uchiha was still alive, though even he was on his deathbed. He had changed at the last moment, aiding the Allied Shinobi Force.

But, all of those didn't matter now since he himself was about to die and soon he would join them in the afterlife. After some time, he opened his eyes, hoping to find himself in some great place as his afterlife. But, what he found was not what he had expected. He found an old man sitting on some kind of stage holding a staff in his hand and was looking at him. He also found that all of the tailed beasts were there watching him, including Kurama. Seeing Kurama made him happy because he had thought that Kurama was also pulled into the statue, which confused him though.

"Hey Kurama", said Naruto looking at the nine-tailed fox with a grin on his face, "why are you not in that strange statue? Where are we? And how are you?"

Hearing this, Kurama face palmed and shouted, "Shut up kit. You are embarrassing me in front of the great Sage of Six Paths"

"So this is the Sage of Six Paths you were talking about", said he and turned towards the sage, "Hey old man. How are you?" All the tailed beasts' sweat dropped.

"I see that you are the reincarnation of Ashura, my son", said the sage with a light chuckle.

"So, where are we old man?" asked Naruto.

"We are in a place deep inside you concise accessible only to you, Kurama and the other tailed beasts. Not even the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan can penetrate", said the sage.

"So why are we here?" said Naruto, not making heads or tails about the explanation.

"Before I answer your question, I have some of my own to ask you. Will you answer them sincerely?" asked the sage.

"Shoot", said Naruto.

"Very well, but before I ask you my questions, I will tell you the history of the Shinobi world. Listen to it carefully", saying this, the sage began to explain the past to Naruto while Naruto listened carefully. He told him about Kaguya and the Jyuubi, the tailed beasts and everything. He told him about his sons- Indra and Ashura, their powers and nature. He also told him about the curse of hatred. Finally he spoke, "Naruto, do you understand everything?"

"Apart from the stuck up attitude of this Indra guy, yeah I understand pretty much everything", said Naruto.

"Well then, I will ask you my questions?" said the sage, "What would you do if I gave you powers of the jinchuriki of Jyuubi?"

"I will make sure that none of my friends died in vain and make sure that both Obito and Madara die", said Naruto with confidence, determination, sadness and rage in his clear blue eyes.

"Very well, I will give you my chakra, use it well", said the sage and turning towards Kurama, said "Kurama, guide the boy and help him succeed. All of you help him in succeeding", and then threw the staff he was holding towards Naruto. He caught it and felt immense amount of chakra flow through his body. When Naruto was about to exit from the place, Kurama called out to him and said, "Naruto, fist bump with the rest of us to gain some of each of our powers as well". Naruto did as he was told to and gained a portion of chakra from each tailed beast.

When he was about to leave, something crossed his mind. Turning towards the sage, he asked, "Hey old man, is there a way to start all over and prevent all of these?".

The sage smiled at this and said, "There is a way. A time-travel jutsu that allows you to travel back in time with your memories and powers intact, but you will be back in your younger body. Why do you ask?"

Naruto flashed a foxy grin and said, "Because I am going back to the past and I will change the future".

The sage knew this was coming and so he said, "I knew you would say that boy. Alright, I'll use the rest of my chakra to perform the jutsu. Get strong in the past and learn to use my chakra. Now that it has merged with yours, it will not run out as long as you live. Kurama, guide the boy. All of you help him. You will be sent back to your 8 year old body, just after the Uchiha massacre. All the best Naruto", saying this, he performed the necessary hand seals and suddenly, there was a blinding light and the next moment, the place was empty.

Naruto's Apartment Room (9 years to the past)

Naruto woke up from his sleep with a flood of memories from the future. He had a lot to work on to change the future.

Elsewhere

8 other tailed beasts and their jinchuriki's were flooded with memories from the future. And a blonde boy by the name of Naruto Namikaze Naruto was responsible for it.
