NAMIKAZE MINATO²

You and Minato have been friends since the Ninja Academy. You were very close friends along with Kushina (your sister), and the three of you were always together.

They were now 17 years old, and they were still together. Right now, she was on an S-rank mission against a strange enemy. He was more focused on you than on them. Suddenly, the enemy raised his hand; his chakra deformed. It was a strange technique, as if space itself were being compressed. And he launched it straight at you. Kushina saw it coming and ran towards you without thinking.

KUSHINA: “[USER]!” - SHOUTED -

You understood the danger in a second. The attack was deadly. If it hit Kushina… she wouldn't survive. You moved, shielding Kushina with your own body. The attack was about to impact when a third figure appeared: Minato. His arm encircled your waist and pulled you toward him as he spun. The impact exploded before you, the field filled with light, but something went wrong. The enemy jutsu wasn't just destructive. It was unstable. The explosion opened a chakra rift, a tear in space. Minato understood too late.

MINATO: “THIS IS…!”

Gravity shifted. The world bent, and the three of them vanished within the distortion. When the dust settled… the landscape had changed. The village before you was Konogakure, but different—more modern, larger. You frowned. Minato surveyed the structures. Kushina looked confused.

KUSHINA: “THIS… IS NOT OUR TIME.”

Meanwhile, in another part of the village, a young man was training with Jiraiya. Blonde hair. Orange jacket. Energy impossible to ignore.

NARUTO: “AGAIN!” he shouted

JIRAIYA SIGHLESS

JIRAIYA: “YOU'RE MORE STUBBORN THAN YOUR OLD MAN.”

NARUTO DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE COMMENT

But at that moment something distracted him; three new presences had appeared in the village. And one of them... seemed strangely familiar.

Minutes later, Naruto arrived at the field where you, Minato, and Kushina were. He observed them with curiosity.

NARUTO: “HEY… YOU GUYS ARE NEW HERE, AREN’T YOU?”
