Naruto: To fix what went wrong

Chapter 1

War. All it ever ended up being was war. Nothing survived, even when so many people gave up their lives for the peace that everyone wanted but was denied. Naruto gritted his teeth snarling. ' It was all a waste, that bastard! He left nothing, not even the chance to kill him for revenge.' He looked down at the blood soaked ground. A land where many voices once sang with joy, but now their voices were mournful shouts from the ground were they fell to the hand of Madara and his minions.

Naruto stared at the lifeless bodies of all his comrades spread over the vast landscape of Fire Country, now reduced to ashes and decay.

He never wanted to have his comrades killed, never wanted to send his men to their deaths. Never wanted to start wars. He only wanted peace, not the chaos that was given to him through fate. It hurt to know that it could have been avoided through more tactful advances at the beginning of the war instead of the choices that he made. But at the time, no one had any objections to his word, just acted like good little shinobi willing to die for their Hokage and the village that they protected. Even Sasuke in the end died with a smile on his face as he took a hit that was meant for him, not the husband Sakura and father of their little girl Sukumari. He had not shed a tear since the death of Iruka when Madara tried to cripple the village by killing thousands of children and active Chunin. At that point, he had stopped feeling, simply ordering and fighting by his shinobi so willing to die for the far fetched prospect of peace.

Naruto regretted ever taking that hat form the old man, regretted the years of pain that followed because of his position. The many families that he had to tell that their father or mother, son or daughter, would never walk back into their arms again because they died fighting. He eventually grew cold and ruthless to any enemy that came his way, killing them on the spot and asking questions later.

-Naruto I might be able to change this- Kurama's voice sounded to the mourning blond. He blinked. Naruto slowly closed his eyes as he entered his mindscape to see a frown etched into the face of the almighty Kyuubi no Yoko. '' You called Kurama?'' Naruto said with a cold tone, this confirmed the kyuubi's suspicions that his Kit was suffering and blaming himself. He didn't want that, he cared for his half son. Racking his brain, he thought of an old ritual that could possibly send them both back to a time that could give them another chance to change things for the better. - I may be able to send you and myself back in time with a jutsu.- Naruto looked up and raised an eyebrow slightly. '' How does it work, and what will it do?'' Naruto liked the idea of going back to fix all the things that he did wrong. He would be able to see all his people. His reason for living and getting stronger, his Kahona, his beloved origin. He could live with them again, smile again, get strong with them, not let them die... but the guilt would also be there. Knowing that he was the reason that so many of those people were going to die in the near future. Knowing that he was the reason that families were torn apart by death and duty. But he did know that seeing them again would be a chance opportunity that he couldn't forego.

- The jutsu is called Nonnmone Katsoboku. This particular jutsu is linked to the natural spiritual chakra that is in the world during a period of time. We would have to mix our physical and spiritual chakra together and create a rip in the time continuum so that the jutsu can pinpoint the time when the world has the most spiritual chakra, and i'm guessing that we will be put into the timeline that is 5 or 6 years before your official birth. Your body would revert to a younger age but you would still have all your abilities including strength and stamina. However, because we merged part of our soul your body would change to part demon fox.- Naruto nodded as he thought about the effects that would be taking place. - I will still be able to have my power and reside in you while my other counterpart will be absorbed by me. The seal won't be holding me but you know that I wouldn't leave no matter what. Other than that we should be landing around the location of Kahona. - Kurama said. Naruto nodded with understanding. He could do that. " okay. What do we do first?" Kurama smiles as he explained the supplies needed for the ritual. Moving to his storage scrolls, Naruto pulled out a glass beaker, a brush, and a kunai.

When he was done with this he moved to a large area of rock in the scorched landscape. He cut his hand with his nail and let it drain into the beaker before watching it heal to show perfectly scarless skin behind. Taking the brush he proceeded to ink out the complex eight layer seal that kurama showed him that would let him and kurama mix their chakra.

When he was done he stood back to see his work. - Good thing you became a seal master as age 16 or you wouldn't be able to copy that complex of a seal and use it. I'm so proud of you my little MucnhyPooo!- Kurama cooed. Naruto looked disturbed as he started to mold his chakra when kurama did. The seal on the ground glowed a dark red as it started to slowly spin. - Hurry and get in the middle of the seal so it knows that it's taking us instead of the air- Naruto stepped inside the seal and immediately felt pulled down. The seal spun faster and faster, naruto felt a pressure in his head. When the seal abruptly stopped the naruto of this timeline simply disappeared. Left in the center of the seal was a stone statue of a nine tailed fox with a kunai beside it.
