Naruto Uzumaki felt his conscious returned to himself as his eyes snapped opened while looking around.

"What in the…" Naruto muttered to himself confusedly while turning his head rapidly to look at the throne room in front of him. It was massive and never in his mind would think the after-life was a fancy castle like this.

Naruto Uzumaki, The Nanaidaime Hokage of the village hidden in the Leaf, Konoha had passed away after  being the leader of his village. Naruto himself couldn't believe that he could live that long and his appearance still stayed the same.

He had a great life, now he could rest in peace in the afterlife. Leaving everything to Boruto, Sumire Uzumaki now and Himawari, Naruto had taken his departure at the age of seventy eight years old.

"Wait, if this is the afterlife then" Naruto taken a deep breath before roaring with all his might "HINATA! OI WHERE ARE YOU HINATA!" the blonde roared with all his might.

Screw that, he screamed her name like he never screamed before.

"I'm here Hinata" he had made a promise with her that he would come to find her when his time came. Hinata had gone before him nine years, but he heard that time passed different in the afterlife, so maybe she just came here a second ago and now he would find her.

He would find her no matter what, nine years without Hinata was something Naruto would never want to endure again.

"I will find you" Naruto grinned before beginning to run, she definitely around here.

"You won't find her here Naruto Uzumaki" Naruto stopped dead on his track when he heard that familiar voice.

Slowly turning around, the blonde widened his eyes when he saw the floating old man with that black staff behind him, with horns and all.

"WAHH! Hagoromo-Oji san" Naruto pointed his finger to the old man with a freak out face.

"Good to see you again Gaki" Hagoromo Otsutsuki said with a small smirk.

"So this is really the afterlife" Naruto then blinked once when he remembered what the Rikudo Sennin had said "Wait, what do you mean I won't find Hinata here?" it couldn't be possible right? This was the afterlife

"Because she already taken the next step, and reincarnate…"

"What?" Naruto felt like his world had been shattered right in front him and fell to his knee with his eyes wide in shock "Sh…she already move on"

"Yes" the hermit said "you must understand that it was a hard choice for her, but she wanted to be with you forever and taken the next step was the only way she got"

"What do you mean by that?" Naruto asked in confusion while stepping up. He might be an idiot, as Sasuke always said when they had some short reunion with each other, but he could see that from the way the hermit said, there might be a reason behind it.

"Follow me" Hagoromo said before turning around and flew away slowly.

"Yeah right" Naruto put his hands into his pocket and began to walk alongside with the hermit of six paths. When they reached the outside of the castle, Naruto looked around and saw it was a wide area that filled with glass and plants alike "What is this place anyway?" it didn't match anything he had heard about, this place was supposed to be filled with dead souls like him, maybe some angels.

"This is the afterlife" Naruto glared at the hermit because he just said the oblivious "However, this place is for those who had done so many great things in their life, someone like you the child of Prophecy"

"What about Sasuke? Or Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked.

"They came to the different place, though I'm not so sure about your best friend" The sage of the six paths shook his head.

"He probably there with Sakura-chan" Naruto grinned making the hermit to look at him "I'm sure of it" Naruto said with a firm tone. His best friend ,Sasuke definitely there with Sakura and their friends.

"What about Hinata?" Naruto asked.

"She was here… and she had reincarnated into Hinata Hyuuga"

reincarnate…"

"Naruto Uzumaki, Kami-sama sent me here to tell you that you have been given a second chance" the hermit said with a small smile on his lips, if anyone deserved a better life, it was Naruto. He had been watching the boy here since their last encounter and couldn't help but agree with the creator of the world.

"Hehe, can you say it again?" Naruto said, grinning with his hand rubbing each other.

If the hermit knew how to face palm, he sure would. This boy sure reminded him too much about how Ashura had been.

"Like I said, you're given a second chance, of being Naruto Uzumaki once again" Naruto widened his eyes in shock at that. It couldn't be possible right? He knew about reincarnated, but never knew there was a way to reincarnate into themselves again.

"Wait, into myself?" Naruto asked "what does it mean?"

"You will once again reborn at Naruto Uzumaki, but not just as Naruto Uzumaki but Naruto Namikaze" the blond dropped his mouth to the ground in shock "You will be reincarnated into a different world, a parallel world. Different from your world yet at the same time will remain the same"

"However, there are some possibility that may happen there" the hermit pointed his hand toward the sky, making a large image appeared in front of him.

It was the image of his mother and father and they were…

"Three babies?" Naruto cried out in shock. Yes, his father was holding a small child, definitely a boy with whisker mark, red hair while his mother was holding a twin definitely girls, they also had red hair just like their mother "Are you kidding me?"

They're your…no Naruto Namikaze's sister, the left one is his older while the right one are younger. They are triplet in one way"

Naruto swallowed hard, he was surprised, really surprised. He always wondered what it felt like to have younger or older siblings.

But there were another possibility that, his parent was alive as well. If they could take a picture with their children with a happy smile like that, which mean Obito never attacked Konoha in the first place, or he had, but his father managed to stop him as well as Kurama.

"You will be reincarnate into that boy, Naruto Namikaze"

"Wait, time out" Naruto suddenly said, pointing at the young boy "I can't take away his life like that, he have his parent, siblings... I envy him yes, but that is it. I can't take away the life he's living no matter what"

"He's going to die" Naruto stopped and looked at the hermit with wide eyes "at the age of ten under Mizuki's hand"

"Wh-what?" Naruto spluttered "it can be happened, what about Iruka-sensei"

"He wasn't there that day" the hermit shook his head "someone else found you"

"What about my father, surely he will…" his father was the fastest and one of the most powerful shinobi when he was still alive right?

"He didn't make it in time" the hermit did the same "he and your mother killed Mizuki out of rage"

Then there were only silence, Naruto was too shock to handle such information. He wasn't that boy, but he felt bad for him.

"His soul is living his body, and your soul will be the one who replace it" The sage said "you will have the second chance in your life a more happy life, as well as the chance of saving the people you cared about, maybe you can stop some events from happen as well" The sage said seriously "aim with your knowledge, as well as power, you can save more than just the life of your friends, but also once again save the Shinobi world from its doom sooner than ever"

Naruto stood wide eyes at the statement the hermit just told him. He could save everyone this time. Neji, Pervy-sage or even Obito and Nagato as well… he could save everyone.

A smile slowly spread out on Naruto's face, he could also save Sasuke as well, he could stop his best friend from leaving Konoha to find power. Sakura might never have to suffer the pain of losing him for many years again.

And Hinata, if what the hermit said about her was true, then that mean she had become Hinata Hyuuga of that world. He will be able to make up for her the time she secretly supported him when he was small. He was an ass from bad then for not able to see her feeling, but not now.

"Of course, the decision is…"

"I will" Naruto said firmly with a small smile "I will become Naruto Namikaze, and save Elemental Nation once again"

"I'm sure you will gaki" The sage smiled and beside him, a gate emerge from the ground and slowly opened "Before you go Naruto, I must tell you this. The more you interfere in this world, the more it will change. If it changed too much, even you won't be able to know what happen next and there were the possibility that you will lose someone if you are careless"

"And unlike you, Hinata Hyuuga doesn't have the memories of her past life"

"She's still the same?"

"She's still the same" The hermit repeated, but this time it wasn't a question.

"Alright" The blond grinned.

"Take this" The hermit handed Naruto his staff, making the blond eyes turned wide in shock "when the time come, Sayuri Uchiha will receive the other half of my power as well. You two will fight side by side and hopefully this time, it won't be my mother"

"Who is Sayuri Uchiha"? Naruto asked wondering why he called Sayuri instead of Sasuke.

"She is Sasuke younger Sister and one who is transmigant of Indra Chakra in this universe".Hagoromo replied calmly

"Oh!  I see it's Sayuri this time not Sasuke". Nodding to himself. Thank you Oji-san" Naruto smiled and took the staff "What about Kurama?"

"I know you will ask" Hagoromo smirked mysteriously "you will know when you come there" Naruto nodded before stepping in front of the opening gate

"What about my family? Do they love him and his sister?" Naruto's eyes widened slightly when the hermit looked down sadly.

"Your sister yes, because they inherited you father talent…but Naruto Namikaze…"

"I understand" Naruto grinned broadly.

"This Naruto, won't be just your second chance but also their second chance as well, to redeem themselves" the hermit said.

"Oji-san I want to meet with Naruto Namikaze Soul before replacing him so at least I have proper Knowledge of his family" "Will it be possible ".Naruto asked hesitantly.

"As stubborn as always" the sage released a sigh "OK when you enter in that dimension you will meet his soul but only when he will be on the verge of death."But don't regret that you did it because even I can't tell whether he will accept it or not". Hagoromo said sternly.

"Alright alright geez" Naruto winced "You're so hard Oji-san. Don't worry I will do my best to convince him"

"Now there one more thing before you go" Naruto turned around when he was about to step inside the gate.

"What's it?"

"Don't cut your hair, it made you look ridiculous"

"Well…"

And the blond stepped inside the gate, ready to redo everything again.

And this time, he wouldn't let any of his friends, or anyone die. Not on his watch.
