The ninja world is reborn, and everyone is resurrected at the start.

Reborn in the Ninja World, Everyone Starts Up Again Author: Stir-fried Three Shredded Chili Peppers

If everyone in Naruto went back to before the Third Shinobi World War, if Obito Uchiha went back to before he met Madara Uchiha, could he change his fate? If the Fourth Hokage and his wife were still alive, could Naruto's fate be changed?

If the Kage were to be resurrected ahead of schedule, would peace among ninjas arrive sooner? If Yahiko were still alive, would Jiraiya have been spared from death? If Obito had not started the Fourth Shinobi World War, would Neji have been spared from death?

If everyone is reborn, will regrets disappear? If those who died didn't die, will the era of ninjas never end?

Ninja World Rebirth

Chapter One: Naruto's Death and the Rebirth of the Ninja Era

Konoha Year 85

The Hidden Leaf Village has lost its former vitality, and the area around it is riddled with dozens of craters of varying sizes. Of the seven Hokage statues that the villagers of the Hidden Leaf Village were once so proud of, only the head of the Seventh Hokage remains, and even that is half destroyed.

In the center of the village, the building that used to be the Hokage's office is gone, replaced by a crater hundreds of meters deep.

Clearly, a tremendous battle had taken place here. Two people lay in the crater. One had fair skin and eyes that were the Byakugan, a treasured and proud symbol of the Hyuga clan of Konoha. He also had a Rinne Sharingan on his forehead, making him resemble Erlang Shen from Chinese mythology. However, he was completely still and obviously dead.

The other person had short blond hair, azure eyes, a bandage wrapped around his right hand, and six distinct mustache-like markings on his cheek. It was none other than the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, whose portrait had been half-destroyed.

At this moment, Naruto was clearly seriously injured. His face was pale, his breathing was disordered, and his whole body was covered in blood. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died. However, the Uzumaki clan is known for its tenacious vitality. Such injuries can be recovered by them as long as they are treated in time and rest for a few days!

Unfortunately, there are no people or even animals to be seen within a hundred miles of Konoha Village! Naruto Uzumaki lay there quietly, his injuries not affecting his thinking; his mind was exceptionally clear.

Looking back on his life, from being born as a Jinchūriki by his parents, who sealed Kurama inside him, to being ridiculed and treated coldly as a child, to his best friend running away, his master passing away, saving Konoha, and becoming a Konoha hero praised by everyone! Later, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, he defeated Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Madara, and Otsutsuki Kaguya, and became a shinobi hero by reciting Sasuke's name. Later, he married Hinata and had Boruto and Himawari, and became the Seventh Hokage.

Because of the Fourth Shinobi World War, villages were able to understand each other better, large-scale wars ceased, and understanding between nations increased. The Five Kage Summit, intermarriages, joint Chunin Exams—exchanges became more widespread. It seemed like everything was starting to move in a positive direction!

But this period of good fortune was short-lived. The Otsutsuki clan returned once more, and in one battle, Sasuke lost his Rinnegan. Kurama came to help Naruto but also sacrificed himself! Without Kurama, Naruto, under the pressure of the Otsutsuki, could only rely on the Uzumaki clan's chakra and the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to continuously learn, eventually mastering almost all the ninjutsu of various countries!

Unfortunately, this still couldn't change the course of the battle! To save Konoha, Sasuke sacrificed himself. Before dying, he transplanted his Sharingan to Naruto. Seeing the resentment on Sasuke's face as he died, Naruto silently accepted this responsibility. He would do everything in his power to complete what Sasuke couldn't finish.

Because of the Sharingan, Naruto gained Yin-attribute chakra, causing his strength to surge once again. However, the enemy arrived too quickly and too fiercely. This time, the enemy was even stronger than before, and before Naruto could even familiarize himself with the Sharingan, the enemy unleashed a devastating attack on Konoha, killing everyone in the village in a single blow!

Yes, everyone was wiped out. Because of Sasuke's sacrifice, the village was in a state of emergency. Even the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, and Kakashi returned to take charge, only to be killed in a single blow by the enemy! Enraged, Naruto's Sharingan evolved into the Rinnegan! In a relentless and desperate attack, he finally killed the enemy!

But so what? His family and friends are gone, and the feeling of loneliness has returned to Naruto once again!

"That's the only way," Naruto muttered to himself. Reincarnation is a forbidden technique invented by Orochimaru. Using this technique, the soul and memories of the person being guided can be returned to a random location. The strength of the technique depends on the caster's chakra. With Naruto's current chakra reserves, he could directly revive everyone who participated in the Fourth Shinobi World War at a random location.

This technique seems powerful, but the cost and risk are extremely high, using Naruto's Six Paths power as a medium. Naruto sacrifices his own life and soul, so he cannot be reborn. Secondly, the designated person must be dead, and the resurrection location is random. If the designated person is still alive in the future, they can properly recall this period of their life and perhaps pass away more peacefully.

However, if the designated person dies, the soul and memories will dissipate because they cannot find a body. If it is too early, before the designated person is born, the soul and memories will slowly consume chakra and disappear completely in about a year.

Even if they manage to revive by sheer luck, their descendants will likely be different! For example, if Naruto and Hinata are resurrected, and the timeline is randomly set around the time of the Chunin Exams, even if they remarry later, their children will almost certainly not be Boruto and Himawari! After all, every person's birth is a miracle, and such miracles are basically impossible to replicate.

Because of its instability, Naruto doesn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary, but the ninja world is now destroyed!

Because Naruto, Sasuke, and the other four Kage repeatedly thwarted the Otsutsuki clan's plans, the clan became increasingly impatient. They abandoned their idea of ​​using the ninja world as a base for planting the Divine Tree and instead decided to destroy the planet. In the Otsutsuki's reckless slaughter, almost all the Kage and ninja from various countries have perished…

Because of Naruto and Sasuke's strength, Konoha was able to send Tsunade, Kakashi, and other ninjas to support other countries. However, Tsunade and Kakashi's strength was limited. Under the Otsutsuki clan's desperate attacks, none of the countries could withstand them. In the end, they could only send Konoha's ninjas with the descendants of their villages to Konoha, while the Kage and their respective ninjas stayed behind to fight back, fighting to the last breath and being destroyed by the Otsutsuki clan along with their villages!

Unfortunately, the orphans left behind by various countries also died in Naruto's battle... There are basically no ninjas left in the ninja world now, and all Naruto can do in the end is to take the souls of many ninjas and gamble with his own life.

Naruto slowly stood up, sealing away his memories of the Fourth Shinobi World War and preparing to hand them over to someone. Although he could no longer be reborn, someone had to tell them what had happened to avoid causing panic. If successful, he hoped they could seize this opportunity to change this hopeless future.

The person he chose was his own father, Minato Namikaze. Naruto slowly formed hand seals, similar to those in the Reaper Death Seal, but with a few more. As Naruto completed the seals, his chakra was mobilized. His life force rapidly drained away; his once golden hair turned white, and wrinkles deepened on his face. With a loud shout…

Naruto slowly collapsed, and strangely, his body gradually dissipated with the wind, disappearing from this land as if he had never been here at all!

Chapter Two: Father and Son Reunite During the Third Shinobi World War

In Konoha Year 47, Sasori's parents were killed by Kakashi Hatake's father, "Konoha White Fang," during the Second Shinobi World War.

Sasori originally wanted to take revenge, but because Konoha's White Fang committed suicide due to another mission, Sasori was unable to seek revenge against him. So Sasori turned his hatred to the Third Kazekage.

Sasori believed that the Third Kazekage, as the village chief of Sunagakure, was responsible for Konoha's invasion and the resulting deaths of his parents due to his negligence.

Sasori then assassinated the Third Kazekage, abducted his body, and became a rogue ninja after leaving the village.

Due to the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, Sunagakure mobilized the entire village to search for his whereabouts, but to no avail. This left Sunagakure leaderless. The intense search not only left Sunagakure's defense forces short-handed, but also brought news of the Third Kazekage's disappearance to the other four countries.

Meanwhile, the Hidden Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning, which favored military expansion, took advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack on the Hidden Sand Village and declared war on the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire. The ninja world was thrown into chaos.

The surprise attack by Kumogakure plunged Sunagakure into chaos. In this crisis, Rasa, relying on Magnet Release: Gold Sand, a technique he learned from the Third Kazekage, resisted the Kumogakure invasion and protected the village.

Meanwhile, the Land of Earth, not to be outdone, declared war on both the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning. Even the Land of Water, which was under strict lockdown, joined in and declared war on the Land of Fire.

The Third Shinobi World War has officially begun!

Inside the Hokage Building in Konohagakure, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, looked at Minato Namikaze and said, "I'm entrusting everything to you." "Is this really a good idea? They're still just children! Do we really want to send them to the battlefield?" Minato asked the Third Hokage. The Third Hokage silently smoked for a long time, then sighed and said, "Go!" Minato then turned and slowly walked towards the door.

The Third Hokage summoned him today to inform him that he was to lead Team 7 to the battlefield. Team 7 consisted of Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara. Although they had a Jonin like Kakashi Hatake and a Chunin like Obito Uchiha, plus a Kage-level ninja like Minato Namikaze, their strength seemed impressive. However, apart from Minato, everyone else was only 12 years old. Sending 12-year-olds to the battlefield was a huge undertaking.

To be honest, Minato Namikaze felt a pang of reluctance, but he also understood the Third Hokage's actions! Sakumo Hatake had committed suicide, Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, had defected, Jiraiya and Tsunade were absent, and the Second Shinobi World War had only recently ended... Most of Konoha's elite forces had perished during the Second Shinobi World War, and now Konoha desperately needed to recuperate!

Unfortunately, the Third Shinobi World War broke out, and the Third Hokage wouldn't have wanted to send these kids to the battlefield if he hadn't had no other choice! There was simply no other way but to force them to grow up as quickly as possible.

Lost in thought, Minato Namikaze had unknowingly arrived at Team 7's meeting place! Obito was late as usual, Kakashi sat to the side with an impatient look on his face, and Rin sat next to Kakashi with a grin.

Minato Namikaze sensed someone rushing towards him at high speed! That familiar chakra belonged to Obito Uchiha.

A moment later, a dark figure appeared in front of him with a whoosh and said, "Sorry, Minato-sensei, I'm late today because I was helping an old lady pick up something she dropped." Before Minato could even speak, Kakashi, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore. "As a ninja, punctuality is the most basic requirement. If you can't even be punctual, you might as well give up and quit being a ninja." "What did you say, you stinky Kakashi?" Kakashi said, rolling up his sleeves, ready to fight Kakashi. Rin, who was standing next to him, quickly pulled Obito back and said, "Alright, alright, Obito was late because he was helping someone. Let it go this time!" "Rin, you're the best. Unlike this stinky Kakashi." Kakashi turned his head to the side, ignoring Obito.

Minato Namikaze chuckled awkwardly, about to speak, when a dazzling light appeared in the sky. This light instantly split into countless meteors, some flying into the distance, others falling directly upon Konoha. Three meteors flew towards Minato, the brightest one heading straight for him, while the other two flew towards Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha respectively. Before Minato could react, they had already struck him. Instantly, Minato entered his own world of consciousness.

Looking at the vast expanse of white all around, Minato Namikaze silently gathered his chakra, warily surveying his surroundings!

"Long time no see, Papa bayo!" A voice, both unfamiliar and familiar, reached Minato's ears. Unfamiliar because he had never heard this voice before, familiar because the ending of the syllable sounded exactly like his wife, Kushina.

"Dad? Who are you? Are you sure you've got the right person? I'm not married yet!" Minato Namikaze was secretly on guard. In order to get information out of the other person and see how much they knew about him, Minato Namikaze told a lie!

At that moment, a figure slowly materialized in front of Minato Namikaze. He had short, golden hair, bright blue eyes, and most notably, six whisker-like markings on his cheeks! "My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I am the son of you and Kushina Uzumaki. I come from Konoha in 85," Naruto said, looking at his father with a hint of helplessness. Because Ashura and Indra were brothers, Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha shared the same chakra source—the Sage of Six Paths! Therefore, Naruto could control his Sharingan very well; when not in use, his eyes would turn a normal, bright blue. "I know it's difficult to convince you of this immediately, but just touch my fist and look at the future, and you'll understand," Naruto said.

Minato Namikaze quietly observed him. Judging from Naruto's appearance and the tone of his voice, Minato was already about 3% convinced! "So, Naruto, what brings you here?" Minato had no intention of exchanging blows with Naruto! If he believed Naruto's words, then watching the video was irrelevant; Naruto's verbal explanation was sufficient! Perhaps the audio recording could be kept and used sometime! If he didn't trust Naruto, approaching to see the video would only bring him danger! Therefore, Minato Namikaze had no intention of exchanging blows!

Naruto Uzumaki sighed helplessly and said, "Because my world has been destroyed by the Otsutsuki clan! I used my own life to bring back the memories of everyone who participated in the Fourth Shinobi World War and gave them to them! But these memories are somewhat incomplete; the memories after the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War may be incomplete! Because there are many reborn people this time, and the time span is very large, I need to expend a lot of chakra to maintain it, but my chakra reserves are not enough. I directly deleted some useless memories, but the battles against the Otsutsuki are still preserved. As for others, they can only see the memories before and after the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War. If they died in the Fourth Shinobi World War, they can only see their memories before their death!"

Chapter 3: The Disappearance of the Seventh Hokage - A Different Future

"Do you have enough time? Naruto, can you tell me everything that happened to you from the time you were born?" Minato asked.

“Sure,” Naruto said, looking at his father, Minato Namikaze. At this point, his father was starting to believe him! However, he didn't bump fists with him, clearly having some plan. Naruto trusted his father, so he didn't ask what the plan was.

"Before I was even born, you became the Fourth Hokage of Konoha because of your outstanding performance in the Third Shinobi World War. On the day I was born, the masked man, Obito Uchiha, took advantage of the loosening of the seal during my mother's childbirth and released Kurama, oh, that's the seal of the tailed beast you call the Nine-Tails." Naruto lowered his head, touched his belly, and slowly recounted everything that had happened to him since birth!

Minato Namikaze listened quietly without saying a word, but his eyes kept changing, from initial wariness to guilt, then concern, and finally pride!

"In the end, although I killed the enemy, everyone in Konoha died! I had no choice but to use the Rinne Rebirth method. I hope everyone is well prepared to change this future." Finally, Naruto finished telling his story!

"You must have suffered a lot, Naruto," Minato said, his voice tinged with guilt. Naruto looked up and saw the complex look in his father's eyes.

That look in his eyes was complex, containing guilt, concern, pride, and many other things that Naruto couldn't immediately decipher!

"Actually, it's alright. Shikamaru helped me, and Kurama and so many companions supported me. And you and Mother always believed in me," Naruto said, his voice trembling slightly. "My time is almost up. I've said everything I needed to say. I hope you, Father, can change this future. This memory sphere contains all my memories before my marriage, including several battles with the Otsutsuki. You can see them by injecting Kurama's chakra into it. With enough chakra, even the entire ninja world can watch it together."

Minato Namikaze walked over with tears in his eyes and hugged the child who was even older than himself.

"Thank you for everything you've done for this ninja world, Naruto. Thank you for giving me another chance to be a father, and thank you for giving your mother another chance to be a mother! Thank you for giving our family a different future. Whether you are born into our family or not, whether our child is a boy or a girl, he will always be Uzumaki Naruto. Your mother and I will give him a happy home, where he won't be ostracized or disliked. He will have many friends and will be a happy child."

Naruto's body had begun to slowly dissipate, but he didn't care. He said in a trembling voice:

"Thank you, Father. Whether I am born into our family or not, whether I am born into this world or not, being your child is the proudest thing in my life." She grinned as she spoke, just like when she first met her father...

In the end, Naruto disappeared. Watching Naruto vanish into his arms, Minato wiped away his tears and looked at the memory sphere, muttering to himself, "No matter what, I will find a way to revive you, Naruto."

These words seemed to be spoken to himself, yet also to Naruto's memories! Minato Namikaze is currently engaged in the Third Shinobi World War, and he has many things to do; every second of delay means many more people will die.

Minato Namikaze sealed the Memory Orb within his own consciousness, making it easy to retrieve at any time. Then, he left without hesitation.

In the real world, Rin was still holding Obito's hand, while Kakashi and Obito looked dazed. Clearly, all of this had happened in an instant, and they were still immersed in their memories.

This wasn't just happening to the two of them; it was playing out across the rest of the ninja world, some even on the battlefield… The momentary stagnation put them in danger, but those who survived until the Fourth Shinobi World War were mostly elites from their respective nations. Despite their shock, they managed to evade the attacks, with only a few sustaining minor injuries!

Soon, Obito and Kakashi had awakened from their memories. Kakashi looked at Obito with complicated emotions, then glanced at their teacher and Rin.

Obito, only just realizing what was happening, looked at Rin who was holding his hand. He then hugged Rin tightly, repeatedly saying, "Rin, I'm so glad you're alright."

Rin, startled by Obito, hadn't even recovered when a feeling of suffocation rushed to her head. She could only painfully say, "Obito, you're hurting me!"

Obito quickly released Rin and asked anxiously, "Rin, are you alright? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Lin stood to the side, her face flushed, whether from embarrassment or from feeling suffocated, it was hard to tell!

Kakashi watched him helplessly, thinking to himself: Is this idiot really the instigator of the Fourth Initiation? Is he really the mastermind behind Akatsuki, the one who almost destroyed the ninja world? Kakashi doubted this memory!

Obito was still gently patting Rin's back, hoping to make her feel better, while Minato looked at his disciple with a complicated expression, the one who had caused his family's ruin and trouble! For a moment, even the invincible Fourth Hokage on the battlefield didn't know how to face him!

Taking a deep breath, Minato said, "You've all seen your memories, haven't you? Don't doubt that they're real." Rin, standing to the side, looked at Minato-sensei with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he was talking about.

Obito, standing to the side, lowered his head in shame. He didn't know how to face his teacher, whom his future self had caused to ruin his family. Seeing Obito's remorseful expression, and recalling Naruto's words, Minato suddenly understood. Perhaps this was a chance given to Obito by fate and Naruto. In that destroyed future, Obito's hands would have been stained with the blood of ninjas. But that future was gone; this was a new beginning!

Just as Minato was about to comfort Obito, Rin, noticing something was wrong with Obito, spoke first: "What's wrong, Obito? Did you do something wrong?" Obito didn't know how to answer Rin and could only say haltingly, "Rin, I..." Seeing Obito's reluctance to speak, Rin could tell it was related to Obito's unusual behavior earlier and said, "It's okay, Obito. No matter what you did wrong, there's still room for maneuver, isn't there?"

Chapter Four: Shikaku's Speculation

Rin truly lived up to her reputation as the person who understood Obito best in the entire ninja world. Holding Obito's hand, she said, "No matter what mistakes you've made, I'll always be by your side."

Obito, holding Rin's hand, felt neither shyness nor joy. On the contrary, the more understanding Rin was, the more ashamed Obito felt...

Seeing Obito's expression, Kakashi knew perfectly well what Obito was thinking! So he said...
