jiraiya

The war was over. Sasuke was still an idiot, but they were mostly getting over that. Everyone else was just trying to get back to some semblance of normalcy in the era after facing the Juubi and losing so much. Hatake Kakashi never wanted to be Hokage, but that's what he became. With that comes enemies. During an ambush, Naruto jumps in front of a jutsu that would tear his former sensei's soul from his body. The jutsu begins to tear Kurama away instead. In a desperate bid to save both his and Naruto's life, Kurama does something almost as unpredictable as his host. He tries to send them back in time a day. This would have worked fine, except Kurama might have...overshot things a bit. Oh, wow, is that a chibi Naruto running around? What year is it again? Jiraiya begins hearing rumors of a man called the "Lost Uzumaki" that has made a seismic debut on the shinobi world stage. The only thing is that S-class nin don't just pop out of nowhere...usually. Jiraiya is sent to track down the nin and determine his loyalties. His new life depends on a good impression. The good thing is that Uzumaki Naruto's true superpower is his ability to talk even the most unwilling into submission. Meet Uzumaki Kuniharu!

His nose itches with the long dead scents of incense, saltwater, and spice but he doesn’t look back until - A choked, “Kakashi?” He closes his uncovered eye, takes a deep breath, and turns. Three ghosts stare back. - In this world, Team Minato returns as heroes. (This time, there was no disgraced Hatake runt carrying the most prized doujutsu of the famed Uchiha clan, no questions of theft or accusations of treason, no doubts of Minato’s abilities as a teacher let alone Hokage, no back-stabbing comrade killers- -no Kakashi.)

“You think this is our fault?” Naruto realizes nevertheless, and it's always 'us' and 'we' and 'our' with him. He and the Uchiha have become an entity, inseparable.The part of Jiraiya that writes tempetuous love stories almost thinks it romantic. Yet this is anything but. Jiraiya's greatest regret comes in the shape of two runaway boys.

Future!Naruto / Obito. For a moment he thought he was facing a ghost. Those eyes, that hair and that posture ... belonged to a person Obito had known very well. But that person had died because of him.It couldn't be."Who are you?" he then asked, a menacing growl.The ghost took another step forward, the fire drawing shadows on his serious face and lighting blue eyes bright with determination."I'm Uzumaki Naruto," he said, "and I'm from the future." (...) The man in front of him seemed to have been devoured by the world and spat out of hell, only to have been hastily and inaccurately put back together."How ... why did you decide to trust Naruto?" Jiraiya asked him.Obito barely looked at him, grabbing a heavy black cloak instead. "Madara's plan is doomed to failure, I don't have much choice." He froze, as if he had been struck by a thought and frowned. "There is something about Naruto that makes me want to help him."
