The Future in Our Hands

Written by: SyrinxSilenus

Disclaimer: I do not own any Naruto and Boruto characters.

A/N: So I tried my hands with something I had never expected to write. I know that there are already a lot of Time Travel fics out there, but this idea has been lurking in my mind for a month now. So I finally typed it up.

ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE

Pairings: CANON PAIRINGS

WARNING: OP CHARACTERS (I created this fic for my own pleasure so I want to just enjoy writing this the way I wanted. I hate too many complicated things, and I want everything to be easy as much as possible for my characters.)

P.S: For the update on my fics, please check my profile.

P.P.S: A few tweaks in this fic, Isshiki Ōtsutsuki appeared and moved much earlier than in the Boruto series, he battled with Naruto and Sasuke and managed to seal the Nanadaime Hokage when Boruto was 13 years old.

Warning: I haven't finished watching Boruto, just watched up to episode 20 so the following events will only follow the Naruto canon and some Boruto facts that I read. You can all comment facts about Boruto: Next Generations if needed. But I can't promise to follow the canon completely. I hope you'll enjoy my version of Naruto Time Travel.

Without further ado, let's get on with the story!

Prologue:

A deep hole of despair tore through the blond hero of the Shinobi World, Uzumaki Naruto; doom and fear had paralyzed him as he peered helplessly out of a bowl-like coffin. He didn't know how the bastard did it, but somehow, even though he was tightly sealed in this dimension; he could still watch as the Ōtsutsuki clan trashed the entire Elemental Nation like a helpless kitten. The Nanadaime Hokage grimaced and clenched his fists.

"How did it come to this? After all the hardships we went through, all the deaths, the sacrifices... Why was it still not enough? Why do we need to suffer like this? Is this the fate of all shinobis? To endure torment and die in vain?" Naruto thought to himself, crying in anguish.

He wanted to scream; he wanted to thrash; he wanted to release his power, to destroy this — this stupid thing that made him unable to come to his people's aid. Those bastards had reduced the village he loved to nothing. While he, the Nanadaime Hokage; the supposed Kage of their village and the most powerful shinobi alive, remained sealed inside a coffin that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki devised just for him.

Those Ōtsutsuki. They compelled him to watch as his beloved people suffered and perished at the hands of their clan, while he was helplessly impaled by multiple chakra rods. The physical pain wracking his body was nothing compared to watching the massacre before him. How pathetic could he be? He had the power to protect, but here he was – wallowing in self-pity and crying in vain.

'I really am still a loser after all this time,' he thought bitterly.

Sasuke, his best friend, and brother was currently fighting a losing battle; Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had maniacally used him as a mere punching bag. The formidable Uchiha would die soon, and here he was, just watching like a useless piece of shit.
