A Chance to Change

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or it's characters

The initial battle for the allied Shinobi forces had resulted in their victory. Their enemy indeed had superior numbers but they lacked the same amount of skill. Each resurrected warrior from Kabuto's Edo Tensei (Impure Resurrection) aided whoever they fought with tips on how to counter their styles.

The shinobi forces had lost quite a few of their number during this first assault but Madara had lost his entire clone army which gave them time to prepare for the next wave. They sent Ninjutsu specialists to train Naruto in as many Jutsu as possible while they had the chance. The Kyuubi Jinchuuriki had even more chakra than Killer Bee and the Raikage believed he might be one of the only Shinobi alive that would be able to use all 5 elements due to the sheer amount of raw Chakra he had at his disposal.

Naruto after being informed of the war by Iruka had wanted to join in the fray but after extensive explanations and pleading the young shinobi agreed to remain for the time being. 2 years passed and he had learnt quite a bit of Ninjutsu from various shinobi,

The main one being his sensei Kakashi who might not have been able to perform all the ninjutsu he had copied over the years but he could show Naruto the hand signs while explaining what each did. Wind and Fire were his strongest affinities, while the other three required a much larger chunk of chakra to perform.

Finally Madara had struck again with an army, this time in even greater numbers. The allied forces were hard pressed and their numbers started to drop one by one. With great reluctance the Raikage's decided to let the remaining two Jinchuuriki fight. His decision proved to be foolish. As soon as they arrived on the battlefield Bee was taken away by the same Teleportation jutsu he had seen Madara use at the Kage summit.

They had all felt the wave of chakra and explosions in the distance, Naruto having begun thinking of Bee as his brother during the time together had launched towards the area of the battle ignoring everyone's screams for him. With his mastered Kyuubi enhanced form while in sage mode Naruto could move at speeds close to the Hirashin.

Reaching the battle he saw Bee unconscious on the ground with Madara and Sasuke gazing down at him "Ahhh Naruto-kun, what a pleasant surprise. Sasuke take him down, soon it will all be over, Kabuto and I shall extract the Hachibi using Edo Tensei" Madara stated in a cheerful tone before he and Bee vanished in a warp.

Naruto, still in his enhanced form snarled "How could you do this Sasuke. When did the great Uchiha clan become so pathetic?"

Sasuke roared "Don't speak of things you don't understand dobe, This ends now, with your death the world will be united under the Uchiha. Susanoo"

A great chakra enveloped Sasuke taking the shape of a giant purple demonic humanoid being with a strangely shaped bow that was large enough to act as a shield. Naruto said nothing, a Kage Bunshin popped into existence next to him and he formed a Rasenshuriken. "Sasuke Uchiha is dead, he died years ago I realize that now. I'm sorry I failed you Sasuke, goodbye"

He tossed the Rasenshuriken straight towards Sasuke who merely brought the bow up to block the odd shuriken shaped jutsu. His eyes widened when the jutsu hit the shield and exploded, the strange chakra human taking the hit.

When the dust cleared he heard insane laughing and the giant chakra beast regenerating until it was complete once more, armor and all. "You really think one attack can defeat the completed Susanoo. You are still a dobe" Before he fired off an arrow that Naruto barely avoided.

Naruto was staring in shock at the fact his most powerful attack didn't work after a direct hit. The arrow had come at him faster than anything he had seen but he somehow still managed to avoid it. One of the next 5 connected with him though and again he was shocked that the arrow managed to pierce through the Youki coating and his sage mode body.

Coughing up blood he looked up just in time to see Sasuke smirking and bringing down the bow like a sword and slamming into him. Then his world went black.

Naruto groaned when he woke up noticing he was inside his mindscape in front of the Kyuubi's new cage. "You just had to get cocky didn't you gaki. Underestimating your opponent that much, did you forget he was able to take down the Hachibi Jinchuuriki and survive an encounter with all 5 kage's"

Naruto merely responded with a "Baka fox, how was I to know my most powerful attack would do nothing" The Fox roared "What did I just say? Are you really that stupid? Now I'm about to get sucked out of you and forced to become one with the others again while you will die because of your stupidity"

Naruto threw his hands up in the air "Then what the fuck am I meant to do then huh Kyuubi? I've already lost" The Kyuubi let out another roar "Remove the seal you stupid child, I have a theory. I don't like it but it'll keep me from serving that red eyed freak"

Looking at the strongest Bijuu in confusion Naruto snorted "What would freeing you accomplish during the sealing, it would likely just speed things up"

The Kyuubi let out a sigh "Not exactly, the method the Uchiha uses to extract the Bijuu is the same method the sage used to seal us in him and the same method he used to separate us into 9 separate beings. I believe if I initiate the merger before I leave you with the other 8 that we will become the Jubi once more but within you. The same seal array the sage used to confine us will be used on you. You will become the Jinchuuriki of the Jubi"

Pausing the mighty Kitsune let out another roar "As much as I don't want to be a part of that damn Wolf again it's going to happen anyway, I'd rather be stuck in an idiot like you then serving that bastard Uchiha. Thankfully your chakra is large thanks to your training to suppress me so you should survive the intense chakra of the Jubi"

Naruto stared up in shock at the Kyuubi before he sat down and let out a sigh "Does that mean I will gain the abilities of the other Bijuu?"

The mighty fox chuckled "Well at least you sound like you'll do it. No you will not have the abilities of the other Jinchuuriki. Our skills are based on our forms, like me all you will gain is enhanced senses and much stronger regeneration speed" He paused before stated "You also might be able to use a Kekkei Genkai, but I do not know which you will obtain if you even get one, you may even get a few"

The beast roared again and seemed to be in great pain "Hurry brat, if you're going to do this you need to do it now" Naruto gazed at the Kyuubi before nodding, he walked over to Kyuubi who muttered out "Thank you brat. I hate that damn red eyed freak" Before he ripped off the seal containing the Kyuubi.

Meanwhile outside the seal

"HAHAHA, finally i have all nine, once the Jubi is formed I will become the new Jinchuuriki of the Jubi and bring this world to its knees" Madara happily gloated.

Sasuke looked over at him and impassively stated "What do you mean, you told me you were going to cast a genjutsu on the moon to bring peace"

Madara continued to laugh "Peace why would I want peace to a world that has wronged me, I am an avenger just like you Sasuke. The Jubi is too powerful to be controlled by any kekkei genkai. I would be unstoppable"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes but said nothing, secretly once the Kyuubi was extracted he would take the beast for himself. Madara has outlived his time, he had surpassed him and the Jubi will be his to use now he saw the older Uchiha's true colours. After all the man was a mere shell of what he once was, he stood no chance against a true Uchiha.

Madara stopped laughing when a large glob of red chakra flowed along the nine dragons into the statue at once, there was mild rumbling coming from the statue containing the 8 Bijuu “What is this? The process shouldn't be done yet and the dragons have yet to recede" He stated seriously. His eyes widened when all 9 dragons chakra flow suddenly changed direction and began heading towards the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki. He shouted out "What, NO, WHAT TRICKERY IS THIS?"

Each of the 9 dragons took on a colour representing each Bijuu. Madara tried to cancel the Jutsu with his Rinnegan eye but nothing happened. The rumbling got louder and the chakra flow got faster.

His eyes then looked at the seal on Naruto's stomach and his eyes widened when there was nothing there at all "How can this be, he willingly released the Kyuubi" The 9 dragons then left the statue completely and the last of the chakra went to Naruto and a detailed seal then appeared on the young Jinchuuriki's stomach.

Madara let out a loud roar in frustration before he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and used Kamui on the nuisance that had ruined his plans making him disappear but in his distraction he missed Sasuke activating Susanoo before the young Uchiha killed him with 3 arrows.

With Naruto

When Naruto opened his eyes he found himself in a forest within his mind. Confused at where he was he stood up and gazed around curiously. He heard a mighty roar from nearby and turning in the direction he saw a giant Silver wolf with 10 tails glaring at him with silver eyes with a black slit down the middle.

"I see the process was a success gaki" Naruto's eyes widened at the familiar tone in the beast's voice. "Kyuubi, i thought you said –" The beast roared again "I am not Kyuubi, I am the Jubi. However looking at the memories I contain from those that were parts of me I can see why you would think that. The Kyuubi contained the most of my essence so took on a similar form with a similar attitude"

He gazed around the area they were in before he continued "I do not have a cage since the seal used to seal me is different from the one used to contain those before. You will not be able to lock me away like you did the Kyuubi however the seal makes me unable to harm you here and my influence on you is limited when you channel my youki. But your body will not handle more than 5 tails worth of my chakra so never go beyond that until your chakra reserves increase. The sage was thorough in his sealing techniques but he also allows me to manipulate your mindscape to what I would like to make our existence together more bearable."

The massive wolf got a smirk on his face "Thanks to me your chakra will start increasing to compensate you for holding me. Luckily since you already contained the strongest part of me you are able to handle me in the first place. Now a unique feature of this seal is you will be able to communicate with me anytime while you are awake if you require it. Now I think it is time for you to wake, the Uchiha sent you somewhere and you need to find out where you are"

Then Naruto was launched back to consciousness, opening his eyes he saw it was night and he was in a forest that looked very like the forests surrounding Konoha. Standing up he felt slightly stiff so did a few stretches to loosen his joints.

He did a few katas as a test before he pulled out a scroll that contained spare clothes since his current clothes were ruined thanks to Sasuke's assault. Once he got changed in Black Anbu pants, a black shirt with the Uzumaki symbol on it and his usual black and orange jacket. He left it unzipped before he put on his sage cloak on his back (Red cloak with black flames on the bottom) and launched into the trees heading in the direction of his village.

Naruto's eyes immediately widened when he saw the destruction at the entrance to the village with bodies and blood scattered around the village, Ninja were tending to the wounded and sealing up the dead into scrolls. He saw a ninja nearby and jumped towards him. He didn't recognize the man but he didn't know many of the ninja's in the village before he called out "Hey what the hell happened here?"

The ninja turned to the new voice and gasped "Yondaime-sama" Before the man bowed low, Naruto raised an eyebrow at the greeting before he gazed around the area "No I'm Naruto, now what happened here?"

Standing from his bow the man took a closer look at Naruto and eyes widened "I'm sorry it's just you look just like-, never mind, if you just arrived you probably don't realize what happened, the Kyuubi was attacking and Yondaime-sama arrived before teleporting himself and the beast from the Hokage monument to over there" The man pointed to the distance where there was an eerie red glow.

Naruto's eyes widened in shock at what he was just told, turning to the mountain he saw only 4 faces, where was Tsunade baa-chan? The Kyuubi just attacked? The Yondaime is fighting it? How can this be? The Jubi hearing his thoughts stated 'Gaki, I think we're back in time'

Naruto froze 'What the fuck do you mean back in time, that's impossible baka!' He heard a roar in his mind before a menacing growl 'Do not talk back to me you like that you gaki. How do you explain what you just heard then? Now you do look like your father and but you must never reveal you're from the future. You might even be able to gain custody of yourself and give him a good life'

Naruto took a deep breath before he responded 'Why can't I tell anyone Jubi?' The Jubi made a whining sound like 'How did Kyuubi deal with such stupidity on a daily basis. Gaki first off no one would believe you, if they did then they would try to get as much information out of you about the future as possible. You will not reveal the truth to anyone'

Naruto muttered under his breath before he turned to the Ninja who informed him "I see, I'm going to back him up" Naruto was about to take off towards the light but he found he couldn't move

"I'm afraid we can't let you leave until you tell us who you are" Shikaku Nara stepped into a few flanked by Chouza Akimichi and Inoichi Yamanaka. "My name is Naruto Namikaze, I'm sorry Shikaku-san but I have to aid my Brother." Naruto channelled some of the Juubi's chakra into his system and broke out of Shikaku's shadow hold before launching himself into the air moving at extremely high speeds making him look like a red and yellow blur.

He arrived just as his father yelled out "FUIN" sealing a large portion of the Nine tails chakra into himself weakening it considerably temporarily. Bijuu regenerate their chakra using nature energy so the beast would only be weakened for a few minutes.

Landing nearby the Sandaime and two Jounin who were looking at the new arrival in shock he muttered "No, you fool. Dammit I'm too late" Before he charged up a Rasengan and slammed it into the barrier, pushing more and more chakra into it a hole opened up and he dove through it channelling more of the Jubi's chakra. His eyes turned silver with black slits, his whiskers thickened and a silver chakra shroud appeared around him with 4 tails sticking out from behind.

Naruto appeared behind his mother and father in time to block the Kyuubi's claw from piercing them. He threw the claw back making the Kyuubi land on his back before he ran through handseals and pinned down the beast with chakra chains like his mother had shown him in his mind when he conquered the beast "Fuck you Kyuubi" The beast's eyes widened at the familiar Youki and it stuttered out "H-how?" Naruto ignored the scared beast, released his Youki and turned to his parents who were watching him in shock and awe.

Naruto rubbed the back of his head in a familiar manner to all present and put on a big cheesy grin before he stated "Yo" The witnesses eyes widened in complete shock before Naruto turned serious

"I'm sorry but you need to finish what you started Minato. I didn't get here in time, if I did maybe you could have survived but you've made the deal with the shinigami already and there's no turning back. Kushina you also are too low on chakra and having a Bijuu ripped from you is fatal. I'm shocked you're still alive but you are an Uzumaki after all. Since I stopped the furball here you have a chance to put more of your chakra into the seal to help your son later go ahead before it's too late."

Minato got over his shock and stated "While I'm impressed of your knowledge and skill, you did get one piece of information wrong" At Naruto's questioning glance wondering what he got wrong he stated "I have a daughter Naruko, not a son" Before he began the hand signs. Only Kushina saw Naruto's eyes bug out in shock, Kushina looked her daughter to the speechless man in front of her and noticed the similarities, blonde hair, blue eyes, whisker marks on cheeks.

Minato and Kushina both placed more of their chakra into their daughter before he summoned a toad that had the key to loosen the seal and ordered the toad to go to Jiraiya. "Who are you?" She stated weakly as her life began to leave her.

Minato had done the hand seals but waited a moment to hear the strange man's answer. He walked over near them and whispered "I don't know how but that bastard Madara sent me here. I thought I went back in time but it's something else since I'm a girl here, I promise I'll protect your daughter with my life"

Both of their eyes widened before she began to cry "Y-you're our child?" Naruto smiled at his mother "Yeah, I am, 18 year old Naruto Uzumaki." He finished with a chuckle.

Minato looked at him with a proud grin "Well I see that you turned out strong. I have to ask did I ever explain to you why-" Naruto held up his hand "You did, I was angry at first because of how I was treated by the village growing up but I got over it. I strove to make you both proud even if I never knew who you were my Dad until 2 and a half years ago I always wanted to surpass the Yondaime Hokage"

Kushina was crying even harder "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" Naruto simply pulled her into a hug "I forgave you years ago. I'll make sure your daughter doesn't live that life, that's a promise of a lifetime"

Minato nodded before he yelled out "Hakke no Fuin Shiki" (Eight Trigrams Divination sealing style) before the Kyuubi was pulled into the seal cursing the whole way and Minato fell to the ground, his life slowly fading away. Kushina, who was barely conscience in Naruto's arms cried out to her husband and Naruto placed her next to her next to his father.

The barrier fell and the Sandaime ordered the two Jounin to notify the village before he approached the group. He didn't hear what was said between the 3 shinobi however he clearly saw they were trusted him so he didn't attack the stranger.

"Minato you fool, I could have done it in your place, why did you erect the barrier? Why did you use such a sealing in the first place, your own daughter" Minato grinned and tried to focus on the old man "You wouldn't have been strong enough Jiji, I barely managed it, plus you know the Kyuubi can't be contained in anything but a person."

The aged Hokage nodded with tears starting to come down "What would you like me to do Minato, as a Jinchuuriki of the demon the villagers will not see her as a hero. I can only do so much" Here Minato smiled weakly once more "Let Naruto-kun raise her, she should be with family"

His eyes widened at the request before he turned to the newcomer who had tears coming down his eyes and he let out a sigh "I will see what I can do my friend" Minato died moments later with a smile on his face, his wife leaving soon after with one as well.

Hiruzen Sarutobi bowed his head in respect before he turned to the newcomer "Family?" Naruto turned to the man he always thought of as his grandfather before he nodded, he paused in thought before he stated "If the looks aren't obvious I'm a Namikaze, I'm also a Jinchuuriki too so I know all too well what Naruko-chan will expect growing up"

The man nodded in acknowledgement he walked over to the crying baby before he stroked his chin "I wasn't aware that Minato-kun had any family still alive so I assume you had an alias growing up?" Naruto nodded before he sighed "I've gone by a few names but I think in respect to Kushina-san I use Uzumaki and adopt Naruko-chan so she has the same name."

Hiruzen smiled at this "Yes as a fellow Jinchuuriki you would be the most suited to raising another. Also I will need you to attend a council meeting with me to go over the details with them all. I think that we should change one fact however"

At Naruto's questioning glance he continued "No one knew about Kushina-chan being pregnant except Jiraiya-kun, my wife and I. You are both so strikingly similar you could claim she is actually your biological daughter"

Naruto blinked before he started to chuckle "As you wish Hokage-jiji" The man sent Minato's body a glare before he started to chuckle with the young man. "We should return to the village now Naruto, bring Naruko and let us go"

Naruto nodded before he walked over to his parents and pulled out a blank scroll and some ink, quickly drawing up some seals he sealed them into it before walking over to Naruko. Pulling out another scroll he pulled out a blanket, with his kunai he cut a section out before resealing it and then wrapping the baby up gently before walking off with the Hokage.
