Here we go boyz, a new Naruto fanfiction that I've been writing in between my Drunken Knightshade Marriage. It's a time travel fanfiction if you couldn't tell, I've read similar fics in which future naruto's future wife teams up with the Kyuubi in order to have her husband alive again.

It's a thing that happens.

There she stood watching as her husband's casket was lowered into the earth. He was a hero, he was a lover and now all of that was taken from him far too soon. Tenten loved him with all her heart and soul, Naruto hadn't started off well, hell he wasn't even on her radar of potential boyfriend material. When he was younger he was loud, crude, obnoxious and if the villagers were to be believed a nuisance.

It wasn't until after the fourth great war did she start to notice him. The way he selflessly came to the aid of others, the gleam he got in his eye when he saw the people closest to him smile. She would never be able to see it again, however, Naruto had sacrificed everything for this village growing up and know he had finally sacrificed the one thing you can never get back his own life.

The day started off like any other, she woke up next to the man she loved. He would always wake up first and when she finally woke he would be staring down at her with love in his eyes. She kissed him, he kissed her and eventually one thing led to another, once they had finally got out of bed and showered it was back to their lives, Naruto had completed his dream of becoming Hokage and Tenten had taken over the weapons shop after her father passed away.

It was all a normal day till a large glowing purple armor was seen advancing on the Konoha outer wall. It turned out that Sasuke Uchiha had finally come to make good on his promise of destroying Konoha, with him it seemed he brought the remaining army of white Zetsu. In the end, Sasuke had failed.

There had been casualties on both side's and Naruto had been driven into a corner so he used his final trump card, he unsealed the Kyuubi. In doing so he had given his life for the village he grew up in, the same village that had hated him for many years of his life.

Kurama sat and watched his previous host and partner being lowered into the ground. He felt a feeling akin to loneliness as he watched Naruto's wife cry silent tears, he wrapped one of his tail's around her for comfort. She buried her face into his tail and wailed.

"I can't believe he's gone," she sobbed. Karama stared down at the human that was using him as tissue with sorrow filled eyes. He could do something, it was forbidden even for the Bijuu... but he could do it.

The giant fox sighed, he resigned himself to his decision. "He doesn't have to be."

Tenten looked up with tear stained eyes. "Wha... what?"

"I can send you back before this, so far back that you could change his loneliness."

Tentens eyes widened with hope, "Do it!" She said without hesitation. She didn't care whether it meant traveling to the realm of the shinigami, she was getting her husband back.

Kurama nodded before weaving through a few hand signs, his body became chakra and it surrounded the brunette's body. She could feel her body moving on its own as it weaved some hand signs she didn't recognize, her world turned black.

She eventually woke up, did it work? She looked around and saw a room she hadn't called her's in years, it was her dad's house right above their weapon shop. 'When am I?'

'A few days before Naruto became a genin,' the familiar voice of the Kyuubi spoke within her mind. She would be lying if she said she didn't freak out at first, but she was the wife of an Uzumaki and if there were anything and Uzumaki does not do, is lie.

'Kurama? How can I hear you?... Were are you?"

'Inside your mind child. This was the only way I could find, I turned you into a jinchiriki in order for you to save Naruto from his loneliness.'

His words resonated within her, she was a jinchiriki now, she was like him now. That train of thought brought a smile to her face, 'Then I can protect him.'

The fox smirked as he heard the girls thoughts, she wasn't like Naruto was, she had no talent for keeping her thoughts to herself. 'Yes. This way once we make contact with Naruto I can share with him your memories, it'll be like having your husband back when he was 13.'

She slightly cringed at the thought of a 13-year-old husband, they couldn't do what a married couple could for another 2 years by Konoha law. A small price to pay for more time with him.

"Ten-chan!" Called the familiar voice of her father, Ojiro. She felt tears beginning to pool in the corners of her eyes, she had missed her father ever since he passed away a year after she and Naruto got married.

"Coming!" She yelled back, trying to keep the sobs back, she couldn't let him know she was crying. He would only ask questions that she couldn't answer without sounding like a nut case, after calming down and wiping her tears she left her room.

Reaching their living room she immediately smiled as she saw him, standing at 5'9 with short brown hair. He wore a tan dress shirt tucked into a pair of black dress pants. Tenten questioned this, was something important supposed to happen today.

"Ten-chan did you forget," he said, she looked at him confused. "Were visiting your mother today."

She mouthed 'O' before dashing back to her room, how could she have not known. Her father never dressed up for anything, their annual visit to her mothers grave is the only time she didn't see her father. in that old leather apron, work gloves, a white shirt, and blue jeans. She sighed and opened her closet, what to wear.

She decided upon a lovely knee length red dress with golden floral prints, she wore her hair in her usual double buns. once she was ready she and her father left the house in the direction of the Konoha cemetery.

Here lies ChiChi

Mother, Wife, friend

She sat in front of the gravestone as her father poured water over the stone and placed the ceremonial incense. They prayed together before he placed a hand on her shoulder and telling her that he'll see her at home. Tenten was incredibly grateful for this time, she was close with her mother ever since she was born.

"Hey, Kaa-san, how are you?"

"I suppose you know I'm not really 14, I couldn't turn down the fox's offer. I had to get him back." The memory of her beloved husband as she remembered him at the chunin exams. She had the passing thought that he was cute but never would have imagined him being her husband at the time. She was scared to see him, in a strange way it felt as if he wasn't her Naruto, sure he'll grow up to be the man she fell in love with but he's not currently her's.

"I hope you can give me courage, I'll be sure to make things right this time." She offered a silent 'I love you' before turning and walking off. She smiled at the thought of seeing him again, she couldn't wait.

'I've got my second chance and I'll make everything right.'

One of Tenten's biggest regrets as a wife was never becoming a mother. They had talked about it and it seemed as if they were ready, but it never happened. Either she had missions that kept her away from home for weeks if not months at a time or Naruto had Hokage duties that required his full attention. Not this time, this time she would have a much longer life with him.

Naruto walked calmly through the streets of Konoha, it was a quiet and calm day. He hadn't pulled a prank all day and no one's tried anything with him. Plus there was his genin exam tomorrow, he couldn't wait he was so excited.

He was walking with his hands resting on the back of his head and his eyes pointed upward, so it was no surprise when he knocked into someone, he fell to the ground and his eyes went wide when he saw the person he had run into. She was stunning in her red dress, her skin was light and creamy and those flower patterns on her dress were spectacular. She wore her brown hair up in twin buns at the back of her head, she stared at him and he stared at her in return.

'Oh Kami, it's him. Wha-What do I do? What do I say?"

'Calm down girl,' Kyuubi commanded. Tenten nodded before she noticed a hand held out to her, she followed the arm back to its source and found it connected to the man of her dreams. She took his hand and Naruto pulled her to her feet.

'Her hands are so soft.' Naruto thought

The blush on his cheeks deepened as he pulled her too hard and she fell forward. Her body made contact with his, she blushed and felt her heart hasten. 'Calm down Tenten, it's just your husband... who doesn't know he's my husband.'

"S-Sorry," he stuttered out while rubbing at the back of his neck. "I guess I dont know my own strength."

"I-Its f-fine, no harm done."

A moment of awkward silence passed between them. "My name's Tenten," she said, even if she couldn't tell him she was his wife yet, there was no way he wasn't going to know her name before the end of this interaction.

"Nice to meet you Tenten-chan," Naruto greeted. The chan suffix didn't go unnoticed by Tenten. "My name's Naruto Uzumaki."

"Hello Naruto-kun, sorry for running into you."

"n-no im sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. I suppose I was to busy thinking about my genin exam tomorrow."

She arched an eyebrow. That gives her a timeframe of how far back she was. she remembered right Naruto's control sucked. "Genin exam, so you're going to be a ninja?"

"Not just any ninja, I'm going to be Hokage one day," Naruto exclaimed. Tenten smiled at this, he definitely will become Hokage he was inducted after they dated for 3 years. She blushed as she remembered his inauguration, it was a special day for them both, not only did he finally achieve his dream after so many years but he had to go and do something crazy... he proposed during his own inauguration.

"Well then, you must be really something, huh."

"I will be, I just have to get through the exam... this time," he tried to be as quiet as possible when he said those last two words but to no avail, Tenten heard him clearly.

"This time? You having trouble with something. I've been a genin for a year already, maybe I can give you some advice."

Naruto looked at her suspiciously, "Well, I've got everything pretty much down... and im pretty confident when it comes to the written portion. But im terrible with the bunshin," Naruto explained. Tenten nodded, she remembered how he used to explain how terrible he was at it, she had come to know that he would never be able to perform something as simple as regular clone jutsu. 'Time to change that.'

"You said your last name was Uzumaki right?"

"Yeah."

"Well then that could be your problem, every Uzumaki is born with large chakra reserves which make basic jutsu like the bunshin next to impossible unless you have jonin level control," she explained silently thanking Naruto for explaining to her. "Its kinda like overfilling a water balloon."

"But im an orphan, im sure they just gave me that name."

She cursed, she had forgotten he was an orphan, he certainly never act like one. "Not necessarily, A lot of times orphanage's won't even bother giving you the last name. Like my teammate Rock Lee, what kinda idiot adult would name a kid rock."

Naruto looked unsure. Tenten wanted to assure him that yes he was an Uzumaki, but she couldn't just come out with it and say. 'Hey, Naruto-kun. My real names Tenten Uzumaki, im your wife from the future. I know stuff you haven't learned yet like... You really are an Uzumaki and your mother was named Kushina Uzumaki.'

'You worry too much.'

'I think I worry just the right amount for a wife whose husband is 13 and has no idea who you are.'

Kyuubi rolled his eyes. 'Just make prolonged physical contact and I'll take care of the rest.'

She blushed at the thought of physical contact, if they were older it would have another meaning but for them at their current age, what was she supposed to do hold his hand. She and Naruto walked until they found themselves at training ground 7, she had fond memory's here. They had come here once and had a picnic together back when they were still just friends, he had passed it off as him just returning the favor after she helped him with his kenjutsu training, it was romantic. He had brought her to a red and white checkered blanket he had set up underneath a single tree that faced a large pond. It was halfway through the meal when he asked me to be his girlfriend, he was obviously out of his element and nervous and it showed, but it also showed how sincere he was about it, she couldn't help but accept. They walked side by side, she noticed Naruto kept giving her side glance's and bristled away when she tried to get closer until he just stopped walking entirely she didn't notice at first and when she did she was about 3-4 feet away from the blonde.

"What's wrong Naruto-kun?"

"What do you want?!" Naruto exclaimed, his voice contained both anger and confusion but they were mild compared to what she had felt in the past. Tenten was confused at first but quickly shook the confusion out of her head, of course, he was trust issues. He was mistreated for the entirety of his life, it was no wonder why he was wary around strangers. He probably only followed her out here because she was a kid herself, even if mentally she's in her late twenties. She sighed and placed her left hand on her right shoulder. 'Maybe I can use this.'

'Bate him into a fight? He was always hotheaded growing up.'

"What do you mean Naruto-kun," she let her playful side out for a moment, he stepped closer to her and she could see he was getting angry.

"I dont like being played with," he basically growled at her, oh she was getting him back for that one. He stepped closer, she stepped closer to the point they were inches apart. She nocked his feet out from under him, he fell to the ground with a small thud she was on top of him in moments. Naruto panicked as he tried to free himself from underneath the girl but it was a futile effort due to her being physically stronger, he cursed under his breath. 'I should have taken my training seriously.'

Tenten smiled as she placed both hands on his cheeks, successfully forcing his lips to pucker as she planted a kiss onto his. She couldn't have been happier, this was it she had full filled her end of the bargain. She created the long physical contact, well it was going to be long if she had anything to say about it. Naruto's eyes widened as he felt her warm and soft lips on his, he didn't know what to think. Was this a new effort to poison him? Putting it in his food wasn't bad enough they were putting it in lipstick now. He tried to resist but couldn't stop her from intruding into his mouth with her tongue, his and hers wrestled for supremacy as Naruto moaned into the kiss, 'If this is how I die, it's not so bad.'

'That's perfect,' Kyuubi exclaimed as their bodies started to bubble with the beast's red chakra. She cracked opened her eyes to see his red demon eyes looking back into her own matching pair of red orbs before closing them and melting into the kiss. The Kyuubi's chakra making quick work of restoring Naruto's future memory's, she could feel his hand caressing her cheek she couldn't hold back any longer she needed this, she needed the man she loved again. They parted, no evidence of their intimate moment except for the silvery line of saliva that connected the two.

All the memory's that he had spent with her started flooding back to him. Their first date, the second, how he proposed to her during his inauguration, the feelings of happiness and joy as the tears left her eyes, she couldn't say yes fast enough. The memories of their first time together, it was odd to watch himself having sex with his wife from her perspective, her father's death and how she didn't leave their room for weeks afterward Naruto waited on her hand and foot every step of the way. Remembering his own death wasn't pleasant, after all, he had done for the bastard, Sasuke still fell further into the darkness. He was beyond saving.

He was reminiscing on the memories of the Kyuubi's offer and his wife's acceptance before he felt warm water droplets falling from the heavens. He opened his eyes and saw the most sinful thing he could imagine, tear streaming out of his lovely wife's wonderful eyes. He sat up still with his beloved in his lap, he felt tears pooling into his own eyes as he embraced her, he rubbed her back as he had done time and time again, he placed small butterfly kisses up and down her cheek. She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head into his shoulder.

"I've missed you so much," she managed to say between sobs.

"Shh... shh I know my love, I know," Naruto whispered into her ear as he gently stroked her back. He felt as if he should be angry with her for throwing away her future as she had done, but after the memory sharing, he couldn't really blame her. She was alone and scared, she felt as if her whole world had crashed down upon her.

"Ya know, experiencing sex from the perspective of the other person, might have been the weirdest thing I have ever seen. And I've seen zetzu," Naruto joked, she chuckled as she lifted her head from his shoulder and placed her forehead onto his. They stared lovingly into each other's eyes for what seemed like forever.

The couple sat together in Naruto's apartment, Tenten was curled up on the couch with her feet up as she lay on her husband's lap. Naruto smiled down at his wife's content face as he gently stroked her forehead with his thumb. She stared up at him, she had done it she had her man back and there was nothing in heaven or hell that could take that away from her.

"Ten-chan, I should get you home before your Tou-san starts to worry?" Naruto said while rubbing her cheek with his thumb. Sure he wanted her to stay, they were technically married or at least as far as they were concerned but too the outside world they were not and a young maiden shouldn't be staying over her, now boyfriend/ future husbands house.

"Cant I stay the night," she whined before adopting a sultry smirk. "We could alway's."

"No Ten-chan, we may be bound together but im still 13 while your 14. Beside's, if I accidentally got you pregnant at such a young age, your father would kill me."

Tenten pouted, "Your right... im not looking forward to losing my virginity again," she said as she sat up, Naruto kissed her passionately before getting up from the couch and walking to the door.

"Say's you, how many guys can say the claimed the virginity of the same girl twice," he joked as he walked out the door, she rolled her eyes before following close behind.

"Besides I have a big day tomorrow and need my rest."

"Speaking of the genin exam, what are you going to do tomorrow?"

"What do you mean?"

Tenten rolled her eyes as she smiled, "You know what I mean, are you going to show them just what Naruto Uzumaki can do?"

Naruto pondered this for a moment while adopting a thinking pose. It was a good question, along with her memory's of their relationship he received memory's from Kurama about the life he lived without her, he had the knowledge to perform all the jutsu he had used in the future. He could intentionally fail and let the timeline play out just as it's meant to, or he could ace the test.

"The first time I failed and Mizuki-teme used that chance to get me to steal the forbidden scroll. No need putting myself in harm's way," he said after having decided to pass. Though he wouldn't go too far, no need raising suspicion. The test was simple enough, first a henge then a Kawarimi and finally a bunshin, he could perform the henge and kawarimi in his sleep and he had become so proficient with the kage bunshin to the point he didn't even need to make a hand sign in order to mold his chakra.

"It won't be too hard to pass, I might even get rookie of the year," he shrugged as they walked up to the front steps of her house.

"I have very little doubt in that," she said as she walked onto the front step, she turned around and stared at her beloved. She wanted to scream when she saw his orange jumpsuit, it had taken her months of constant work to get him to wear something a little more traditional for a ninja and ditch the full body jumpsuit. "Promis me you'll get some new clothes."

"awww," he whines. "But Ten-chan, orange is my favorite color."

"Well, you dont have to wear a full body orange jumpsuit!" She exclaimed, it wasn't a yell but it wasn't an indoor voice neither.

"Fine."

"Thank you."

He grabbed her hands in his own and smiled as she blushed. "I love you Ten-chan."

"I love you too Naru-kun," she said before leaning in and giving him a chaste kiss before turning and moving back inside. It was such a long day so much had happened, she was exhausted. But it seems she couldn't just go to sleep because as she turned the corner to head up the stairs she came face to face with her father who wore a large smile that threaten to split his head in two.

I know, I know im evil for ending it here but I feel like I've written a lot and personally I want to leave this talk for next chapter. I've already worked it out.

Gods, when I get an idea in my head I just run with it dont I. I hope you guys liked this because I did

I got the idea when I read a fic where Shizune was his wife and traveled back in time to save him from both his loneliness and his future death. I originally wanted to make this a Naruto x Shizune fic but figured that I would need a suitable replacement for her as she would be traveling with Tsunade.

So Kyuubi turned Tenten into a jinchiriki. I played with the thought of the Kyuubi inside Tenten transferring itself into Naruto and combining with his Kyuubi, but I think I like the idea of keeping Tenten as the other nine-tails jinchiriki.

That also plays a part later on when she and Temari have their fight. Other fics of the same or similar nature have Naruto relearning the jutsu, but if the Kyuubi restored his memories then wouldn't that mean he remembers how to perform said jutsu.
