I would like to state that I do not own Naruto or any of the Characters from the Franchise used. I only own the original character used in the story.

This is a rewrite of my previous work with some of the key components changed. What Key Components? That you will have to read and find out for yourself.

The Naruto timeline has, in most cases, been murky when it comes to events that occurred before the start of the anime/manga.

Our MC, Renjiro, is younger than Minato (5 years) and older than Obito and Kakashi (5-7 years)

Overall there has been a lot of speculation of how things occurred. In light of this, I have employed a timeline that involves assumptions as well as stated facts.

BNB= BEFORE Naruto's birth ANB= AFTER Naruto's Birth

Uchiha Massacare-7ANB

Nine Tails Rampage-0BNB

Minato becomes Hokage- 4BNB

3Shinobi War Ends- 5BNB

Rin 'Dies'-7BNB

Obito Dies-8BNB

3SW Starts- 9BNB(5YRS)

(Obito & Rin) chunin(11)-10BNB

(Obito & Rin) genin(9)-12BNB

(Obito & Rin) academy(5)-15BNB

Renjiro Genin(8)-19BNB

Renjiro 'awakens'(5)-22BNB

Uzushigakure destroyed-22BNB

2SHinobi War Ends= 24BNB

Of course, some of the vents past Renjiro achieving rank would either be prolonged or shortened due to his involvement in the story.

Happy Reading!
