The votings are still ongoing, so this is gonna be a chapter of Konoha devastation.

Once again, Shizuki is Naruto from the future!
"Myougan" Uzumaki Shizuki is Future Uzumaki Naruto !
Myougan is his disguised last name as he doesn't want to reveal his true heritage just yet as he hasn't met himself well.. in this era of Naruto.

Era now: Naruto is roughly 9 and a half years old, still at the Academy.
The events that had occurred: Uchiha Massacre, and Hinata kidnapping (as it already been happened, and Neji's father is dead so rip)

──────────────────── ∘°❉°∘ ────────────────────
Author's POV

Amongst the rage, and shouting in the T&I whom are investigating into Danzo's death, and capturing ROOT.. Hell not even too long ago, and just freshly recent, the Uchiha Massacre had occurred and left a death blow onto the village.

The darkness of despair and sorrow had quickly swept over the village as the many houses of Uchihas had crumbled down, leftover blood had been since dried up, and corpses that once been on the ground was gone, and buried. Following before that, was the half..assed attempt kidnapping of Hyuga Hinata, ending in the tragic death of Neji's father and further deepening the village's wounds.

These events cast a long shadow over Konoha, leaving its people reeling and vulnerable. But.. it also allowed the dreadful idiotic Konoha Council members to fully unsurp more power from the Hokage.

As if it wasn't even enough, Hizuren was tied and bound to his office. He had no control over them, and he thought he didn't have "power" over them. At least Danzo is dead but not for the lack of the stolen Uchiha eyes that was never found at the site.

In sort, many of the jonins and his *cough* anbus wanted him to grow a damn backbone but, nooooo, old man jenkins is too damn scared to take back the power because blah blah blah "i am old", type of speech, and blah blah "I can't betray my fellow former friends and shinobis", and blah blah other bullshit.
Like JUST SNATCH the damn power back to yourself and grow a damn backbone! "ALL YOU GOTTA IS SAY HEY! THIS VILLAGE IS MANHELDED BY A DICTATORSHIP NOT A DAMN DEMOCRACY! AND Y'ALL ARE COUNCIL MEMBERS! NOT THE HOKAGE!!" - By yours truly, Kakashi's mind.

Kakashi kept on mumbling things to himself, and about how the hokage should retire, and let someone take over like Lady Tsundae or SOMEONE WHO IS DECENT!! HELL, I WILL TAKE SHIKAKU AS HOKAGE!

People around him started to mutter under their breaths and stare at Kakashi thinking he was crazy and had grown a third eye and two heads.

*Ahem* back to the story.

While Konoha continues to investigate the death of their ... Honorabl- traitor or shitty elder.
Well... Honestly, in the end, T&I and the Hokage had hit rock bottom with the investigation but they had managed to get their evidence straight from the number of crimes, Danzo had committed but if only Itachi was here to confess about what really happened that night.

After the defeat of the three.. well before.. erm.. pre-debut Akatsuki members, he let two of them go, and Raiga died as the other two were needed for the crucial change in the future, and development of the Akatsuki.

"Myougan" Uzumaki Shizuki decided to travel across the lands of fire, and its neighboring countries, he picked up a skill or two along the way.

He learned just about anything to keep his skills up. Even then, he honed his abilities as much as possible for the time to fight the Akatsuki. Shizuki traveled across the lands while avoiding Jiraiya and his spies.

He silently took on many disguises while keeping his face and hair the same while acting as normal as possible. Well tried... He had forgotten how Uzumakis were notorious for their red hair but, it all worked out in the end. Never mind, it turns out the old generations had known what the feared Uzumakis looked like. Their bright-dark red hair was the trademark for Uzumakis but other people had the same red hair color but it wasn't the same as what they had seen in the past. The whispers among the older generation had spread throughout the lands claiming they had seen an Uzumaki in their village.
One by One, rumors began.
Sightings of the Red-Haired Uzumaki.
Last living Uzumaki traveler..? Had Kushina come back to life? - That got debunked by a lot of people because no one had heard or seen her in years.

Although there were a lot of glances and talks about him, he didn't pay much attention. He just let it happen, let the rumors happen, and let the news spread.

Shizuki sat down in a secluded area of a forest while staring at the two very, very rare summoning scrolls that he had obtained from his clan's vault: The Phoenix and The Dragon.

The Phoenixes were most famous for their extraordinary flames, and the heat that radiated off them made the katon jutsus look like child's play. It was so intense that it was labeled as a category disaster and a threat to the world. They were also known for their immortality, the same immortality that Orochimaru had been trying to get but failed to obtain it. However, The Phoenixes were angry with the humans that were trying to obtain immortality and wanted to rage their anger upon them but, the Uzumakis had stricken a deal with them, they made a promise to aid the Phoenixes in safeguarding their sacred places, valuable treasures, power, and ensure the continuity of their immortal existence. In return, the Phoenixes pledge to lend their formidable flames and mystical abilities to aid the Uzumakis in times of dire need. They also agreed to control their flames and use their immense power responsibly, refraining from catastrophic displays that could threaten life and land. And so, their flames had dumbed down by a lot in terms of power because the Uzumakis had fulfilled their end of their deal, and kept them safe from harm, and from going from the wrong hands. The Phoenixes kept their flames at a normal katon A to S level jutsu, while it is enough to burn a human alive but enough to hold back their extraordinary powers without costing more harm to the world.

The Dragons were the ones who soared and ruled the skies creating havoc and chaos among the creatures of the land and sky. They were notorious for their blazing firey breaths, elements bending at their will, and tough iron scales where the toughest and the sharpest kunai couldn't cut their scales. They once ruled the skies with their mighty roars and wings big enough to take down their prey in the sky. They had claws that were able to decapitate anyone in their way, and heal at an extraordinary rate, it was so fast that it simply disappeared in a blink of an eye. The Uzumakis had proposed a deal with them in order to stop the chaos and deaths that were increasing in their way. They had offered to help quell the relentless storms and natural disasters caused by the Dragons' wrath. In return, the Uzumakis promised protection and a peaceful coexistence with the other clans. The deal was no easy feat as it took many years to calm the storms with their sealing jutsus but in the end, the entranceway to Uzu had two swirling whirlpools in the ocean.

The Dragons noted the Uzumakis to be worthy of holding their summoning contract, and wished to have them as their summoner but before they could hand off their scroll to the elder of the Uzumakis, the Uzumakis were wiped away from existence from the battle with the joint forces of Kumogakure no Sato of Lightening Country, Hidden Mist Village of Water Country, and the Hidden Stone Village of Earth Country. They were outnumbered to the point where they had tried to ask for help from Konoha but no assistance came.

The Dragons especially the King of the Dragon, Ryu was angry, angry that the Senjus of Konoha didn't bother to come help the Uzumakis. The rage that bubbled up within him slowly exploded as he had saw each and every one of the corpses of the Uzumakis dead on the lands of Uzu. He let out a loud deafening roar that soon awaken the ruler of the phoenixes, Solaris woke up from his year long nap, and poofed into existence, confused as to what happened but soon realized the dead corpses of the Uzumakis. Solaris and Ryu worked together to kill the rest of Iwa, Kumo, and Kiri nins that were still there. They killed each and every one of them to avenge the Uzumakis.

In the end, they decided to seal their summoning contracts in the Uzumaki's secret chambers in hopes of finding a worthy summoner, once the joint forces were dead, they sealed themselves within the chambers and entered into an eternal sleep until they get released again. Before they had disappeared, they had put up a protective barrier in the chambers to prevent others from getting in, and only a Uzumaki can break the barrier with their blood.

And so they entered into an endless eternal sleep awaiting a new Uzumaki summoner.

Shizuki had recalled the tales from Jiraiya, and from one of the elder toads who had told him what had happened with his clan, and sure enough, he was angry but didn't want to put anger upon Tsunade obaa-chan. But he sure was angry at the previous Senjus who refused to help.

Although he wished he could sign the contract with the Foxes again but, he no longer had Kurama inside him to provide the summoning contract. He knew that his signature from the scroll had vanished when he had altered the timeline and from coming back as well.

Internally, Shizuki wished Kurama didn't merge with him, and wished he survived just like he did.

Shizuki carefully unrolled the Phoenix scroll first, feeling the ancient parchment crackle beneath his fingertips. The intricate seal glowed faintly, emanating a warmth that seemed to pulse with a life of its own. As he focused his chakra, the scroll began to unfurl further, revealing delicate yet powerful kanji characters that shimmered with fiery energy. The air around him seemed to heat up, carrying with it the scent of smoke and charred wood.

With a deep breath, Shizuki performed the summoning technique passed down through generations of his clan. A burst of intense light erupted from the scroll, forming the majestic figure of a Phoenix. Its feathers shimmered in hues of gold and crimson, and its eyes glowed with a wisdom that seemed to pierce through Shizuki's very soul. The Phoenix let out a melodious cry that resonated through the forest, causing leaves to tremble and birds to take flight in awe.

Next, Shizuki turned his attention to the Dragon scroll. This one was heavier, bound in leather that felt ancient and weathered. The seal on this scroll pulsed with a deep, primal energy that seemed to echo the thunderous roars of dragons past. As he unraveled it, the air itself seemed to grow heavy with anticipation.

The kanji on the Dragon scroll gleamed with a silver-blue light, resonating with the power of storms and the boundless freedom of the skies. Shizuki's heart raced as he poured his chakra into the summoning technique. The forest around him seemed to hold its breath as the scroll released its ancient magic.

Suddenly, a deafening roar shattered the tranquility of the forest. A Dragon of immense size materialized before Shizuki, its scales gleaming like polished steel. Its eyes, a fierce amber, locked onto his with a mix of curiosity and pride. The Dragon's wings unfurled with a sound like thunder, casting a shadow that stretched across the clearing.

Shizuki stood there in awe, shock, and in slight fear of the two mythical creatures that was said to have completely extinct and gone from this world but yet, here they are in front of him, alive, and with their huge frame, it towered completely over him.

As the Phoenix and Dragon took form before Shizuki, the forest around them seemed to pulsate with their raw energy. The majestic Phoenix, its feathers like liquid fire, landed gracefully on a nearby rock, while the Dragon, with scales like obsidian, coiled around the perimeter of the clearing. Shizuki stood in reverent silence, feeling the weight of the moment. The Dragon's thunderous roar echoed through the forest, shaking the trees and sending ripples across the still pond nearby. The Dragon's eyes, fierce and glowing amber, locked onto Shizuki with a mixture of curiosity and challenge.

"Who dares to summon us?!" His voice rumbled like storm clouds as puffs of smoke appeared from his nostrils. Ryu, the King of Dragons stood firmly in front of Shizuki.

Solaris, the ruler of the phoenixes stood tall and proud on the rock beside Ryu, and stared upon Shizuki. "Explain your purpose. State your reasoning for disturbing our slumber." His voice was like silk, and soft but had deep rumbling crackles of flames.

Shizuki, understanding the gravity of the situation, took a deep breath. He reached into his pouch and pulled out a set of scrolls and brushes. He began to carefully draw symbols and kanji on the ground, each stroke precise and deliberate.

Solaris observed Shizuki's actions with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism. He tilted his head, his golden feathers shimmering as he spoke, his voice carrying a soft but authoritative tone. "You communicate through symbols and drawings. What do these representations signify, and why should we trust you?"

Shizuki continued to write on the ground, adding a message that clearly stated his intent. Once finished, he stepped back to reveal the message:

My name is "Myougan" Uzumaki Shizuki is what I go by at this time of era. My real name is Uzumaki Naruto. I am Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato's son. I'm sure you have heard of Uzumaki Ashina, my great-grandfather. I am from the future, and I came back to the past to change the fates and events.

The clearing was filled with an awe-inspiring silence as the Phoenix and Dragon observed Shizuki's message. The ancient beings regarded him with a mix of intrigue and skepticism.
Solaris's eyes, glowing with the wisdom of ages, studied the message with great interest. His voice, carrying an undertone of reverence, echoed through the forest. "You reveal a name that connects you to powerful figures from the past-Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato. And you speak of a great-grandfather, Uzumaki Ashina, whom we remember well. To come from the future and seek to alter the course of history is a claim of great consequence."

Ryu's immense form shifted slightly, the rumble of his voice resonating like distant thunder. "Such a claim is extraordinary and difficult to verify. Why should we believe that your presence here, and your attempt to alter the past, is of genuine intent? What assurance do you provide that your actions will be for the betterment of the world and not lead to further turmoil?"

Shizuki was a bit taken aback but he knew that he would need to answer the question already.
He pondered for a bit debating whether or not it is good to reveal anything of importance to the mythical ancient beings in front of him.

Shizuki's silent determination was palpable as he continued to write on the scroll. His silence did not diminish the gravity of his message; rather, it highlighted the depth of his resolve. Each symbol he inscribed was carefully chosen to convey his intent without the need for spoken words.

Once he finished, he stepped back and presented the final scroll, which read:

I am from the future and have come back to alter the course of history. My goal is to prevent the devastating conflicts and disasters that will occur if certain events unfold as they did in my time. I am not here to follow or continue any particular legacy, but to make critical changes for the sake of peace and stability.

To prove my genuine intent:

I seek to prevent specific events that led to widespread suffering and chaos.

I am prepared to demonstrate my commitment through actions that align with the greater good, not personal ambition.

I request your guidance and, if necessary, your judgment to ensure that my efforts will contribute positively to the world.

Shizuki looked up, his eyes reflecting a mix of hope and determination. He was aware that actions often spoke louder than words, especially in the presence of beings as ancient and wise as Solaris and Ryu.

Solaris, his golden feathers shimmering with thoughtful contemplation, spoke softly but with authority, "You have made your intentions clear. The path you wish to forge is one of significant consequence. We must deliberate on this matter carefully."

Ryu's massive form rumbled with a deep, resonant tone. "Your silence speaks volumes. We shall consider your proposal and evaluate the impact of your actions. Your request for guidance will be taken into account as we deliberate."

With that, the Phoenix and Dragon began to retreat, their forms blending into the forest's shadows as they prepared to deliberate on Shizuki's request.

Shizuki remained in the clearing, resolute and patient. He knew that gaining their trust was only the first step in his mission. His commitment to altering the future would be tested not just by his words, but by the choices he made and the actions he took to reshape the course of history.

He also knew that he would need to prove that they can trust him.
