They failed, and they weren't proud of it either. With nobody left to save, and nothing left to do, the three men have given up all hope. Obito and Madara and merciless, and show no signs of stopping anytime soon. Death after death, battle after battle. They're tired, and they're done. They thought they'd already fought their hardest battle, but it turns out that the war was just the beginning. Shot back in time with the help of Kurama's hidden jutsu, they find themselves faced with the faces of loved ones, and with the task of stopping multiple tragedies before they happen. One slip up and their whole plan could fall apart. Will it, or will they save everyone?

Except for a small group of people who saw Naruto as an innocent child who had been dealt a bad hand, no one liked Naruto Uzumaki when growing up in Konoha. However, Naruto was a monster in human skin to the grieving people, so their hostility was far too apparent. Naruto's father, a well-respected man in the village, had blindly placed his faith in the town that he protected to treat his son as the hero that he was for containing the most powerful of the Nine Biju. Naruto didn't know he had a responsibility, but he had the advantage of knowing his parents' names and physical characteristics. He kept trying to change what others thought of him, even after learning about his burden. He could complete his graduation through luck and perseverance and become a Genin. He battled countless foes and overcame the obstacles placed before him by his strength.

Naruto really thought they could do it. That he could do it. But when the chance was staring him in the eyes, reflecting off of the rasengan in his right hand and the pulsing in his chest, Naruto failed. Madara sent him back. Back to a time when he had everything once again. And he couldn't stay. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Jiraiya shrugged, as if he wasn't discussing his own demise and just some mildly unpleasant weather. "I've got books to write, places to visit, little brats to train. The world needs me as long as it can have me." He spread his hands reasonably, as if to illustrate the surety of his point. "Spill it, come on. How'd I get myself killed?" Naruto sputtered, sitting a little straighter. "That's--I can't just tell you!" He stopped. ". . .Can I?" "I don't see why not." Jiraiya smiled softly, the nonchalance gone from his expression and replaced with a hint of understanding that Naruto drank up. "You're thinking a bit too hard into this, gaki. We don't have to follow Fate's path like a strict rule book. We're shinobi--things like this," he gestured to Naruto, "are bound to happen. And if you happen to have important knowledge and if you happen to mention it here and there, well. No one will be the wiser. You want to save us, Naruto? Save us." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [ earlier chapters are lacking ] [ cover art creds to artist ] [ genfic--no ships, but if any, canon implied ] #1 in narutotimetravel 1 / 28 / 21 #1 in uzumakinaruto 8/9/21 #3 in uchihasasuke 12/22/20 #7 in naruto 12/27/20 #4 in timetravel 4/24/21

"Don't make this any harder than it has to be, Sakura." I swallowed hard, my body shaking. I can't believe this is actually happening. Who knew that it will actually end up like this? I knew that I have to save Naruto and Sasuke-kun so that we could run away and hide before it's too late. "I-I'm not opening the door." I took a step backwards, looking at the kitchen. There was a knife on the counter, I needed it. If he is going to break inside, I have to fight back in order to get out of here. I quickly get it and face the door once again. I take a deep breath and tighten the grip on the knife's handle. There was one big question that kept running inside my mind over and over again. When will this nightmare end? Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto suddenly found themselves stuck in their own "ideal world"; a world with no chakra, ninjas, wars and just peace, tranquility and happiness. Their loved ones who were once dead are alive and the place they called home is back to normal again. Everything seems perfect, right? Wrong. They soon find out the person who has trapped them in that world is out to kill them. What's worse is that he won't stop at nothing until they're dead and they don't even have chakra to fight back. Will they be able to escape and be safe? Or will they remain trapped forever? Quote of the story (but not in the actual story): "Just like everybody else, you three believe in everything until it's disproved. You believe in old myths, in ghosts, in powerful creatures, etc. It all exists, even if it's just in your minds. So who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as you and I?" [Warning: May contain some Sasusaku or Narusaku and lots of feels]

Sasuke Uchiha has just reencountered with Naruto after first seeing Sakura and Kakashi after a while: "Why are you fixated on me?! Why do you care?!" "Because we're friends!" Those words always ran throughout the raven's head, and ever since that small reacquintance he had with the Orange Ninja, he couldn't stop thinking about him in a way that might change everything. After this little event, Naruto is trying to earn Kurama's chakra within a battle. Meeting Kushina, his mother for the first time, he ended up confessing his feelings for Sasuke, and both feel the same way towards each other now. Neither of them knew about the other's feelings, in the beginning at least. Naruto wants to see Sasuke again, not caring whether or not it results with an argument or a battle that led to death. On the other hand, Sasuke tries to debate whether he should continue on with his dream to destory Konoha and Naruto with it, or find his only friend immediately and confess his feelings.
