On the battlefield, there laid three figures, gazing at the sky. There was nothing left in the world, its only the matter of time until they die from starvation or dehydration. Sakura held Sasuke's right hand and Naruto's left hand and squeezed them tightly, they squeezed back.
That day, Kaguya was revived. Within a minute, they've lost everything. And now, they just feel.. empty.
They lost their newborn children, family, friends, village, home.
No matter how strong they have become, how many technic they have mastered... If they can't protect what they loved, it's pointless.
"Hey, guys...Are you still there..?" Sakura said weakly.
"..Hn.." Sasuke replied.
"You know... It'll be hilarious if your last word is 'hn', Sasuke." Naruto managed to laugh a bit, the others chuckled softly.
They are slowly dying, but made no effort to move from their spot, letting their body to starve and dehydrate.
There are chances that they can survive, but what they want... Is death itself. The guilt, grief of losing their loved ones are too heavy for them to go on. And the nightmares are driving them into insanity.
Poof!
Their eyes widened as they jolted into a sitting position, looking at the figure that appeared in front of them. The smoke cleared and revealed the Kyuubi fox, Kurama.
"K-Kurama...?!" Naruto gaped at Kurama. "Why did you... Oh, never mind." He was going to ask him why did he come out, but realization hit him. The tail beast will die along with it's holder, it's normal that they wanted to be free.
"Yo, kit." Kurama greeted his successor. He growled when he saw the waste land. " I guess I'm too late." He muttered under his breath before changing the subject.
"Anyways, I overheard your conversation just now... I'm going to ask you a question."
"What is it, Kurama?" Naruto narrowed his eyebrows and leaned closer, his teammates did the same.
"What if, there's a justu that allows you to return to the past, and prevent the war? Would you do it?" Kurama looked at the trio with a serious expression.
"No... That's impossible." Sasuke looked away, his face showed pain and grief. "It almost sound... too good to be true.." Sakura lowered her head, eyes filled with sadness. "But... If that's possible..." Naruto trailed off.
"We'll do it." They looked back at Kurama, determination and hope lit up in their eyes.
"That's the answer I expected from you." Kurama laughed. "So the jutsu goes like-"
"Wait, what?!" "There's really a justu like that?!" "This have to be a dream!"
"..."
"Oi Sasuke hit me! I have to make sure that I'm not dreamin'!" "Sakura are you alright? I'm not dead, right?!" "Naruto! That's Kurama right? It's not some devil that lures us to Hell, right?!"
"...Ahem."
"Sasuke!" "Sakura!" "Naruto!" "SASUKE!!" "SAKURA!!" "NARUTO!!"
...It took a few moments for team 7 to calm down.
(Okay, I'm quite lazy so I'll just write down the details about the jutsu ;P)
__________________________________________________________
Forbidden jutsu - Tamashi Kaeshi no Justu (Return soul no justu)
Requires a massive amount of chakra.
With the chakra of them (includes Kurama), they can do it twice.
Because the jutsu is very powerful, some other people might be able to return to the past too.
The first time when they appear in the past (The Kanabi Bridge Mission), their bodies are only a temporary ones. (Because their real body doesn't exist at that time, the jutsu only send back their souls, and the souls need a container.
Their scars will remain, but in different ways.
The way to perform the jutsu is to kill themselves, in a bloody way. (It requires blood.)
On the second time (When they're five), because their children bodies can't handle the massive chakra from their future selves, and the sudden change of the souls, they will become sick for a while, in order to let their bodies to get used to it.
_______________________________________________________
The trio sat in a triangle, kunai in each of their hands. "Ready?" "Yeah." "We're ready." "Hn." Team 7 replied, determined.
If the jutsu failed, they'll die, and it doesn't effect them since they have nothing left to lose. If the jutsu successed, it's a whole different story, they can meet their loved ones again, talk to them, and most importantly, protect them.
"Oh, God of time, please hear our wish."
A glowing chakra surrounded their bodies as they closed their eyes.
"Forgive us for our foolish mistakes, and grant us the power to change the past."
They raised their kunai to their hearts.
"We vow on our names-"
"Uzumaki Naruto!" "Uchiha Sasuke!" "Haruno Sakura!"
"Forbidden Jutsu - Tamashi Kaeshi no Jutsu!"
They sunk the kunai into their hearts when Kurama finished his chant with a clap.
Their body glowed as they chipped away.
Nice to meet you all, I'm Momoko, the author!
