***

Naruto woke up and sat on his bed trying to figure out what happened. He decided to get up and was now gazing at his surroundings, trying to remember where he was. He was in a room with a bed and all the necessities for a bedroom. He felt his whole world spinning and flashbacks of his life in his universe flashing in his mind. He started to remember his mission: search for the new source of darkness, defeating the Akatsuki and making sure that his friends have a better life. He changed himself into something more suitable for his height, the scrawny and annoying twelve years old and where no one would question is clothing choice.

Then, he created the clones effortlessly and ordered them nicely to find his buddies and discovered if they had also had the same opportunity than him. He was sure they had been given the same opportunity, they were all in the same boat, but you can never be too cautious.

The next steps would depend on the information Naruto received. First, he would hold a meeting to understand what was the outcome for everyone and figured out how they would be moved on from. Meanwhile, he proceeded to let his chakra, a type of internal energy, to go in the hallways and the rooms of the house to catch any interesting information about the other occupants of the household. He found with his chakra, his parents sleeping in their bedroom. As a master of the mind, he quickly read their thoughts before wiping traces of his intrusion. He figured out by doing this the other occupants in the Kage's house, that Minato was the Hokage, the Third Hokage wasn't dead, and he has siblings. Many siblings. They were now so profoundly asleep that if an alarm would try to alert them, the chance that it would wake them up in time were slim.

First, the eldest was Arashi; he was an Anbu at twenty-three years old, same statut and age as Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke's brother. He was still single and focused on his work as Shinobi. Arashi spent time with the two older brothers and less with him, probably because of the age gap. He was protective of his sisters. The second oldest, Mikio was a Jonin at 19 years old. The third oldest was Shijo; a newly Jonin at 17 years old. They just celebrated his promotion yesterday. The twin Mito and Naruko, both were 13 years old and were beginning to become a Genin. They were both in the same class as Naruto because of their birthday. Both of them think of themselves as princesses. They believe that they can land in the shop and have all or nearly free because they are girls Hokage. No one was stopping them, but Naruto promised himself to remedy the situation as he continued to search in their minds. Naruto saw that they were dead last even with the training his parents were giving them. He chuckled at that thought, what a shame, he thought.He had viewed them memories and found himself nowhere near the training. Only memories about his parents telling him he wasn't ready to train. Like hell, he saw all his older brothers and sisters starting at the age of seven and him not. He had also viewed his memories, and he didn't feel that the Naruto before him wasn't thinking about a career without the knowledge of his parents. Instead, the other Naruto took the opportunity of reading all the books possible in the library. He congratulation his alternative self-doing it. The other Naruto couldn't wait to leave the village and had escape a couple times from the village to go somewhere. No one care for his disappearance. He would have to reread them or send a few clones to read so he could fully know each book by heart. Fresh in mind.

And lastly Naruto, the youngest at eleven years old. It seems that his parents were more preoccupied with the twins of the family. They thought that Arashi, Shijo or Mikio could take care of him. Like they have time for him. Naruto did spend time with them, but that was when he was younger. His parents didn't neglect but still majority of the time favor the twins, and his older brothers mostly had their attention toward the twins.

While letting his mind wandering inside of each member of the house and wiped out all trace of his intrusion, Nature had instinctively found the kitchen. Founding himself hungry, he decided to make the breakfast. Naruto still loved his ramen but had a lesson about being more refined and have varieties in his food in front of others dignitaries. He was an excellent Chef. He created a clone to make the table then send this clone to keep watching any movements upstairs.

He then sat down at this big table to eat. As he finished, he left some food for his family before getting out of the house. Clones were waiting for him outside to give their report; several clones disappeared leaving only one to tell one full description of the situation.

" Boss, it seems that everyone from Ino, Hinata, Sakura, Tenten, Neji, Lee, Sasuke, Choji, Shino, Kiba and the dog Akamaru and Shikamaru are having the same effect as you. Sasuke told me, to say to you Boss that he will gather everyone and that you are waiting at the Uchiha compound."

" Very well."

He quickly dispelled the clone and went to the Uchiha compound. Sasuke was waiting for him.

" It took you long enough dobe. "

"I'm hurt teme, comparing me to Kakashi-sensei."

Sasuke just nodded as a response before bringing him in front of a tree.

"Why should we go at this tree?"

"Still can't see through the Gengutsu? Teme?"

Naruto scowled to himself before following Sasuke. It was very spacious inside; well furnish a long corridor led to several doors all protected by several seals. Sasuke knocked on the fifth door with his left hand twice.

"What is the current weather outside?" a voice questioned. It was coming from the other side of the door.

"Lightning."

The door opened after Naruto heard a few clicks; behind it was Shino. He quickly ushered them into the room and closed the door behind them. Suddenly everyone starting to welcome him warmly and chatting a few minutes before Neji remind them of the purpose of them being there.

"Thank you, Neji; well, I'm glad to say that we are all here. I'm sorry to have disturbed you this early. We have - I want to settle a few rules and address the knowledge so that everyone is on the same page. I don't know if someone when to explain to me. You know better than me! Just voice yourself."

"Very well, I think I will speak first, and if someone wants to add, just interrupted or wait at the end," Sasuke said.

Everyone's eyes went on Sasuke, who was leaning against the wall. He continued:

"I was the first one of the gang to land here. I quickly made myself a quiet personality and a very observant one. The Sandaime is still alive but had retired and always replace if needed the Youdaime. Also, the massacre never happened. I was able to hold it off, well, mostly by sending Itachi and Shishui on several missions, sometimes separate or together."

In the room, a few nod at the statement confirming the event.

"I also was able to make sure that my father has a changing heart. It took a long time, but I had to do something idiotic, which was to drag a missing-nin into the village and make sure that he was trying to kill me. Then, I killed and passed it off as self-defence. Fugaku was furious, and he is more like a father and spending more time with us as a family. I think he knows about the rebellion but won't tell and probably won't join. I am able to have a mental link with everyone here. I create this secret place unknown and unseen by Uchiha and the others. Everyone here can have access to this location. Also, you need to know you are seen with me a lot. By a lot, I mean you come to eat or sleep in my room. We are also best friends, and your parents are favouring the girls. I think that's pretty much all I have to say... Wait, as you may know, Obito Uchiha is alive, meaning that Rin is also alive."

"Good, does this mean that Kakashi is no longer late and that he is least broody and moody like you?"

" I'm not broody and neither moody!"Sasuke voice out indignantly but calm himself in a snap. "Probably, I don't know he was still an Anbu in the last news, but I think he got the same opportunity than us. It would be explaining Obito and Rin his teammates alive."

"It would be great if we could have him for Sensei."

"Orochimaru is alive and in the good grace of the village." Someone commented. " We have to kill a few bad people in the village such as Danzo and Kabuto."

"Very well, we see the actions we will take on the next meeting. Anything else?"

"In a few days, we are going to pass our genin exam."

"I see. Do you think, we should still kill your clan, Sasuke?"

"Yes, we cannot afford the possibility of having them in our way. The elders are way too much traditional and the way I see that they no way to convince them of something more modern or different. Also, I don't have ties with them, but I will make a list of the people we should keep alive for the moment in my clan."

"I don't want to have anyone suspicious of us. I want you girls, Neji and Lee first to go now. I think your Sensei Gai is waiting for you for training. Sakura, Hinata and Ino, I don't know how long it would take for you to prepare yourself. Five more minutes and Kiba and Akamaru, Shino, you will go. Choji and Shikamaru are going last in ten minutes. Sasuke and I will be in the compound practicing on a few shurikens. I will see you in the class act as usual. I just recall something; I viewed some memory of my family in this universe. Could someone tell me how I should act toward them or if they are conflicts between you and them?"

"Mito and Naruko hated your guts unless they suspected someone had started to realize the negligence and being mean toward you. You get along with your brothers, but they still favouriting the twins. You spend more time in the Uchiha compound because of their neglect. Your parents didn't teach you their styles, but you learned by yourself and by reading," Neji explained.

"Good that will be all for this first meeting. I will inform you of the next one and never trust someone that wasn't here in the room."

Team Gai flew out of the meeting, and the girls did a body flick while the others were taking their time to rearrange the area, putting chairs align correctly to the table. A few minutes passed while waiting for the signal. It was silence. After twenty minutes, Naruto and Sasuke went out of the tree house. Naruto followed Sasuke to the training ground of the Uchiha compound.

The training ground in the Uchiha compound was vast. It was divided into sections to help the clan to practice the art of shinobi. Sasuke went to the shuriken's section where targets were waiting for them. Each target had a basket of practice shuriken. They first started with a warm-up of their abilities. They started by hitting in the middle of the target all the shuriken of their baskets. There were at least 100 shurikens, Sasuke and Naruto launched their shurikens while gradually increasing their speed of launching the shuriken. Then, their practice launching as many as possible of shuriken at the same time.

Another twenty minutes had passed when both felt it; someone was watching them. While they continued working on throwing properly on the targets, Naruto told Sasuke in his mind. "It's Obito, Itachi, and Shishui. Do the talking, but you have still the back around and keep throwing."

" Obito, Itachi and Shishui, you are up early. Is something wrong? I thought you wanted to take the day to rest no training, no mission before the Yondaime send you again out."

"First of all, otouto, mom was searching for you. She didn't see you in your bed, and you weren't in the house. So I suggest Obito, Shishui and I were going to look around the compound. Secondly, even if we are resting, that doesn't mean we can't watch you. You seem to be excellent at the shuriken. Thirdly, we don't have any mission at the moment. The Yondaime gave us the task to help around the village. It allows us to spend time with the family", said Itachi.

While Itachi answered Sasuke's questions, both were facing the three older Uchiha and had let the shuriken either on the target, the basket or in the grass. Sasuke nodded and said:

"I see. Let us clean and put back the material, and we should be off to see mom."

Arriving in the kitchen, both greeted with a small 'hi' before digging down their food quickly. Then, they changed to get ready to go to the academy. Naruto felt a little bit excited about seeing Iruka-Sensei back. Alive in this universe. In their original world, Iruka-Sensei had retired and died after teaching many future shinobis. In the 'old world,' he was in peace and wasn't touched directly by the Fourth War.

They took their time to go to the academy; it allowed them to think for themselves.
