He was back in a prison once again, but in a very different prison than the one he had lived in for the majority of his life. In front of him was a familiar set of bars, a prison that he had avoided for nearly 90 years.
The prison of the Nine Tails.
A fox like growl escaped Naruto's mouth as he stared at the demon he had guarded his entire life. "Nine Tails."
Naruto's eyes glared at his tormentor as the Nine Tails only looked down at him with a small sneer. "Tell me brat, how did you enter my prison? Are you here to remove the seal?"
The seal on the bar of the prison gleamed as Naruto glanced at it. "To release you?"
"Think about it." The Nine Tails grinned. "If you release the seal, it will allow me to escape your body. You will finally …show more content…
"You will need to learn the basics of Fuinjutsu in order to use this properly, but if used correctly, it will serve as a powerful weapon. In fact, you may surpass your father and become one of the strongest shinobi of all times. I am sure that he wanted to teach you himself, but I will give this to you as part of the reparation."
The blonde looked at the scroll again, the characters and scribbles on the scroll representing his father's life time work. He closed the scroll and placed it within his jacket near the heart. Naruto bowed his head to the powerful ninja. "Thank you."
"You will return to the day that you were assigned to Team 7. When you return back in time, your chakra and Kurama's chakra will separate to the point it was 13 years ago. If you manage to avoid imprisonment and cooperate with Kurama, the two of you will never fuse into one. You will retain all your memories up to this point and have that scroll with you when you regain consciousness. From there, it is up to you to change the future."
There was no reply from Naruto as he looked up at his tormentor and prisoner once again. The Sennin awaited for the young ninja to answer, which he finally did after a few seconds. "I understand. However, I have one request before you send me back to my younger …show more content…
"Can you erase parts of my memories? There is a certain person I want to forget." Naruto asked the horned man. He knew that failure was always a possibility, despite his foreknowledge and skills. If he forgot about her, maybe he wouldn't foolishly make a promise that he would break if he failed.
And maybe she wouldn't come to him in desperation and agony. He didn't deserve her, and he wasn't the right person for her.
The all powerful ninja considered his request. "I can not bring myself to do that, Uzumaki Naruto. If you are to return to the past, you must bear every memory with you. After all, without the pain you experienced, you would've never grown as a person or a ninja."
Naruto had hoped the answer would've been different, but couldn't say that the man's claim was false. I'll just distance myself from her. It'll be easier for me and her anyways. I can't let the past happen again. "I understand. Then I am ready to go back."
With a small smile, Rikudo Sennin weaved the hand seals to begin the procedure. "Jikan Sosa no Jutsu (Time Manipulation Jutsu)."
A barrier surrounded Naruto and within a blink of an eye, the blond haired ninja had disappeared in a flash of light.
