Chương 17: Just For Fun
"You're being sent back in time."
Naruto, who had now more or less shrugged off his drowsiness, just stared at the apparition before him.
"Excuse me?"
"We're sending you back in time, Naruto. We feel its for the best," the apparition known as Hagoromo repeated, his face stern and completely serious. Naruto simply tilted his head.
"Okay," Naruto responded, "why?"
"We feel its for the best," the Sage of Six Paths repeated. Naruto waited a bit to see if the Sage was going to continue. He was not.
"Okay, why do you think its for the best?" Naruto clarified. He had finally gotten to the point where he was supremely happy in his life. He had achieved his lifelong dream of being Hokage, and started a family to fill in the void he was missing almost his entire life. He had a loving wife, and a beautiful daughter. Yeah, his son was a rebellious punk, but he reminded the blond Hokage of himself when he was younger so there was a certain pride in that as well.
Not to mention that it was also kinda his fault his son was acting out. So there was that.
Point being, he was really happy where he was in his life and had absolutely no intention of going back. Having to redo everything to exactly the way it was before just seemed ridiculous, especially considering the kinda shit he had to go through.
Holy shit that whole fiasco with Sasuke! That happened! It seemed like almost a lifetime ago but he and Sasuke had totally saved the world.
Oh and Sakura and the rest of the ninja world was there as well. Details.
The Sage of Six Paths just shook his head. "We believe that-"
"Its for the best?" Naruto finished inquisitively. He was hit on the head with the Sage's staff.
"No," Hagoromo answered, "we believed that you were too lucky in the events concerning your life. A lot of the things that went down in your," Hagoromo paused to find the right words,"... sordid life seemed a bit too coincidental."
Naruto bristled, "Really? Like what?"
"Like the time you just so happened to awaken the chakra of Kurama exactly when you needed it on the bridge in Wave?"
Naruto scowled slightly, "that happened? Kurama, did that happen?"
The tailed beast inside him groaned, "what? Maybe," The giant fox then noticed the Sage, "sup gramps."
"Gramps" nodded in kind, having somehow heard that.
Naruto nodded as well, "I don't clearly remember that, but I know it made sense."
"Oh really? Then how about that time that you somehow outran an entire train?" Hagoromo continued.
"When the hell was that?"
"The mission to Snow Country. To save the princess? Yukie?"
"How the hell do you know about that?" Naruto asked.
"Details," Hagoromo answered.
"Fine," Naruto replied, not caring either way, "I can easily outrun a train. I can outrun light if I really wanted to. Hell, my Dad used to do it all the time."
"You were thirteen at the time."
"I was a gifted youngster," Naruto replied.
"Earlier that day you struggled to outrun a horse."
"I was also determined."
"Determined enough to outrun a train?"
"You underestimate my determination."
"Very well," Hagoromo explained, "then that time you managed to survive Itachi and Kisame?"
"Ero-sennin was there."
"Sasuke was there before him," Hagoromo retorted.
"He was still there."
"And how about that whole 'three year hiatus' the Akatsuki went on? Explain that?"
"They had their reasons."
"Explain them."
"I don't pretend to understand the minds of deranged S-ranked criminals."
"Explain beating Neji."
"Determination"
"And getting Pein to bring everyone back to life?"
"Talk no Jutsu is a fearsome ability."
Hagoromo just rolled his eyes, surpressing a more exaggerated response.
"Whatever, you're being sent back in time."
"Why?" Naruto asked.
"We feel its for the best," Hagoromo responded.
Naruto stared at the Sage, "you know, you're being difficult."
"So are you, Asura," the Sage responded.
"I'm not your son."
