I do not own Inuyasha or Naruto.

Uzumaki Naruto was dying, that much he was sure of. He slowly brought his hand up to the gaping wound in his chest, blood spilling out in streams. He scraped his fingers slowly across his chest, bringing his blood soaked fingers up to his rabidly glazing eyes, the crimson blood dripping off his fingers and onto his face. He moved his blue eyes slowly over to the two figures kneeling above him.

Tears dripped down Haruno Sakura's face. Her hands were glowing with her chakra, desperately trying to heal her team mate's fatal wounds, but to no success. She shook her head before pumping more of her chakra into her hands. She whimpered, she just couldn't lose him! She had already lost Sasuke-kun, the love of her life (even if her love was unrequited) to the snake-like Sannin, Orochimaru. But what was worse, it was Sasuke-kun who inflicted these on Naruto himself. She continuously pumped her chakra into Naruto until a gloved hand grasped her arm. Sakura slowly brought her tear-stained face to look at her silver-haired sensei.

Hatake Kakashi slowly moved his female student's arm away from the dying boy. Sakura looked at him incredulously, her cool green eyes looking at him angrily. "There's...nothing we can do for him..." Kakashi closed his visible eye, looking at Naruto sadly. Sakura gasped, tears leaking out of her eyes fasting than ever. Sakura slowly stopped the chakra flow to her hands before bringing them up in front of her face and staring blankly at her hands. "I...can't save him..." Sakura whimpered, her eyes going blank.

Naruto slowly grasped Sakura's hand with his own, Sakura looking down at him, horrified that her best friend was going to die right in front of her. "Don't...worry, Sakura-chan, everything will be alright..." Naruto slowly wheezed out, he didn't want to die, but accepted that he would. "What are you talking about!? How can everything be alright!? You're dying, Naruto! And...I can't save you." Sakura whispered the part, bringing her hand to his blood soaked chest. "Don't worry...it will be...I promise..." Naruto said slowly as he could feel the life slowly slipping from his body. Naruto looked at Sakura first and then at his sensei. He closed his eyes and a smile appeared on his face. Maybe he'd finally meet his mother and father in the afterlife and he would be able to see Ero-Sennin again.

And with that, Uzumaki Naruto died with a smile on face, happy that his friends were here with him until the very end.

Kyuubi opened his red crimson eyes, growling as he watched the darkness creep closer to the seal. Kyuubi snarled as he felt the brat just give up and accepted his fate, death and it would take the nine-tailed fox with him. The fox snorted before glowing a red colour, as he gathered his remaining demonic chakra. He would not die so easily, especially in a weak human body.

The creeping darkness stopped as the water around his sealed cage bubbled, and started to rise. Kyuubi laughed, he would give the brat his second chance.

Sakura and Kakashi looked at Naruto in horror. The Kyuubi's red chakra formed around the blond, forming the Demon's Fox Cloak. Nine tails formed behind the boy. Naruto crouched over onto all fours; his glazed blue eyes turned a demonic red, and his black lined lips curling up in a snarl. He turned his red slit eyes to the two horrified shinobi. He growled at them before forming about one hundred hands seals in a second and released all his crimson chakra. Sakura and Kakashi covered their eyes with the bright red light that flashed before their eyes, before seeing black and remembering nothing.

"It is done! The Yondaime Hokage was defeated the Kyuubi!" Cheers could be heard all around the village, even the civilians joined in the cheering.

Naruto blinked his blue eyes; his blond hair was swaying in the breeze. He could hear shouts and screams of joy far below him. Naruto looked around wearily, where exactly was he? The last thing he could remember was lying on the ground, dying by wound inflicted by the shinobi he had thought of a brother, Uchiha Sasuke.

So why was he here now, alive and well? And why the hell was he standing on top of Gamabunta? A glimpse of white caught Naruto's attention as he looked behind him hesitantly. Why exactly was he wearing a white cape that was strictly reserved for the Hokage of Konoha. He almost lost his balance as the giant toad shook with laughter. "It looks like you did it, kid!"

'Did what exactly?' Naruto thought with confusion, he hesitantly looked down at himself. He seemed to be taller than the last time he had looked at himself, and even more muscular. "Well, aren't you going to say something, Naruto?" Gamabunta asked, looking up at the human on top of his head. "Uhhh...yeah...I did it..." Naruto slowly said, not exactly sure what he had accomplished. "Well, looks like my job here is done." Gamabunta puffed his pipe before disappearing in a puff of smoke, Naruto still standing on top of him. "WHAT!" Naruto yelled, falling to the ground at a fast pace.

As he was falling he looked over at the Hokage tower and used his chakra to transport himself over there, maybe Tsunade-baa-chan could give him some answers.

Naruto streaked in the window in a flash of yellow, looking at the room wearily. Nobody seemed to be here. "...What's going on...?" Naruto mumbled, he was perplexed by the things happening. A noise sounded by behind him, and he whipped around with a kunai in hand. A pile of blankets sat there on a table, something was moving under them. Naruto slowly moved foward with his kunai poised to attack, and quickly pulled the blankets. What he saw made Naruto gasp in shock.

A black haired baby was wrapped in the blankets, her big blue eyes looking at him curiously. What made him gasp was the swirl seal mark that was on her stomach. "...Isn't that...Kyuubi's seal...?" Naruto mumbled, just what the hell was going on here? Naruto looked down, he was wearing a Jounin uniform with the robes strictly for the current Hokage. He slowly lifted the green vest and blue shirt underneath and looked at his stomach hesitantly, where he knew the seal was. Or hadbeen, it was no longer there.

The door slammed open and Naruto whirled around again, with kunai in his hand. There, the Sandiame was standing; a relieved looked on his face. Naruto widened his blue eyes, the Sandaime had died over two years, why was he standing here, looking at him with that expression? "Naruto! You are still alive!" 

Sarutobi looked at the blond, an unbelieving but relieved look all the time. "Uhhh...yea..." Naruto said, not believing he was alive himself. "Yondaime! You have defeated the Kyuubi!" A bunch of old men filed in behind the Sandaime, along with some skilled looking Jounin.

But what caught Naruto's attention, was that all three of the Densetsu no Sannin walked in the room, including the dead Orochimaru and the dead Jiraiya. "...Y-you..." Naruto mumbled, pointing at both Jiraiya and Orochimaru. They both looked at him strangely before Jiraiya jumped up and caught him in a headlock. "You really did it, kid!"

"Itai!" Naruto yelped out, as Jiraiya let him go. "See what my precious student can do, even defeat the Kyuubi without being killed!" Jiraiya looked back at everyone who had filed in the room and were now sitting in chairs around a table. Jiraiya walked over and took a seat himself, gesturing for Naruto to do the same, but in a seat that looked more luxurious than all the other seats combined. "...Oh...right..." Naruto mumbled as he took a seat.

He looked around at all the people, who were looking at him expectantly. Naruto froze; they looked like they wanted him to speak. He had no idea what to say, hell, he didn't even know what was happening. But he knew he couldn't let these people know that he didn't know what was happening, they would grow suspicious of him, he knew. So he would just try to go with the flow.

"Well...aren't you going to tell us what happened?" Jiraiya looked over at him expectantly, and Naruto slowly nodded. He just tried to recall his history lessons from when he was in the academy in Iruka's sensei's classes. The longest lesson was on the Yondaime and how had defeated the Kyuubi. He could also remember all the glares he got from his classmates during those particular lessons.

"I used a sealing jutsu on the Kyuubi." Was all Naruto said, that what being of from what he could remember from the history lessons. Some of the shinobi and the council members gasped while the others stayed calm. "I have heard that these particular sealing spells are required for a human sacrifice." A Jounin who Naruto had never seen before stated. Naruto looked at him slowly, he was instantly reminded of Sasuke, even though this shinobi had brown hair while Sasuke had jet black.

"I assume that she was the human that Kyuubi was sealed into?" Another jounin who had the lavender eyes of the Hyuuga clan and had the splitting image of Hyuuga Neji, distastefully looked over at the quiet baby girl. Naruto felt a slow dull anger build in him, as almost all the shinobi and council members, excluding the Sannin and the Sandaime, looked over at the girl with disgusted looks on their faces. He could remember his childhood, where all the adults and even their children looked at him with the same expressions on their faces, and all this because he was a Jinchuuriki.

"Who's child is that anyhow?" An unknown council member asked, looking back at the table after glaring at the baby. "I believe that is Higurashi Kagome, the child of the Higurashi Tetsuya and Higurashi Meiko, it has been confirmed and listed that they were killed earlier tonight with the battle of the Kyuubi." Jiraiya answered, looking at the child with pity. All of the Sannin and the Sandaime knew that she would have a tough life ahead of her. "We should just kill 'it'" One of the Jounin stated and over half of the occupants nodded and agreed, even though Naruto, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Sarutobi all had a look of rage on their faces. "I forbid for any of you to touch her, if you do, I'll kill you!" Naruto shouted, banging his hands on the table, silencing all the shinobi at once.

"...But, Yondaime-sama, what if the Kyuubi breaks free and terrorizes this village once again?" A brave shinobi asked quietly and flinched when Naruto turned his glare over at him. "The Kyuubi won't break free! I'll make sure of it! I have had enough!" Naruto stood from his chair, picked the child up and flashed out of sight with his chakra.

Naruto paced up and down his manor, right after he had left he had been confronted by Jiraiya, they had talked for a bit, before Jiraiya escorted Naruto to his mansion, much to his relief, Naruto had no idea where he lived in this place. After Jiraiya had left, he had stood there, gaping at the huge mansion, it was easily the largest manor in Konoha. It was obviously meant for the Hokage.

Naruto sighed as he looked down at Higurashi Kagome, before looking at the moon.

It seemed that he was no longer the Kyuubi no Jinchuuriki.

It seemed that he was somehow the Yondaime Hokage in this altered past.

Naruto frowned, his blue eyes lighting up in the darkness, he was in the past, which meant that the future hadn't happened yet.

The Uchiha clan was still alive and Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke still resided in Konoha.

He would do everything within his power to stop the massacre from happening and letting Sasuke live without revenge the only thing on his mind.

He knew that the Uchiha clan was massacred when Sasuke was seven, so he had seven years to come up with a plan to stop the Uchiha's from being killed by one of their own, Uchiha Itachi.

He could do this because he was the Yondaime Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato, the leaf village, and the strongest of the five shinobi nations.

He could do this because he was Uzumaki Naruto and former Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Youko.

Naruto looked back at Higurashi Kagome and smiled in a fox like way.

He could do this because he would have some help.
