[size=+2]Apostate of Peace: The World Which Was Not Meant To Be[/size]
It was finished… yet something was still bothering him.
Killing the person responsible for this, would it really solve everything?
At the final moments of the Akatsuki Invasion upon Konoha, Naruto managed to subdue the last Pein body and is now heading for the true mastermind of it all, Nagato.
Seeing most of the village destroyed, sensing the death of his master, and losing the one he loves right in front of his eyes, Naruto can’t help but wonder why a madman like Nagato would do all this, all for the sake of true peace.
What is true peace? He asked himself this very same question.
-x-x-x-
Uzumaki Naruto darted across the forest so quickly; it would have shamed an Olympic athlete. With only one thing lingering in his mind, he chose to face Nagato alone, without the help of his comrades. Little did he know… Fate had something else in mind for him.
Naruto: *breathes heavily as he reaches the humongous tree where the real Pain was hiding* It’s time to end this.
Suddenly he felt someone’s presence behind him and he quickly turned around to see a young man with white hair, wearing clothes not of either Konoha or Akatsuki threads.

Mysterious Man: Greetings, Uzumaki-sama. *bows* It is an honor to finally meet you in person.
Naruto: *glares intently* Who are you? How do you know my name?
Mysterious Man: *smiles* It is not a question of how and why. Let’s just say I watch things carefully, therefore I know a lot about, well, things.
Naruto: *not letting his guard down* Are you with Akatsuki?
Mysterious Man: *laughs* Hah! Please don’t insult me like that. I am not part of any organization you humans create. In fact, I am not sure I’m human myself. Which reminds me, I have yet to introduce myself.
Naruto: I don’t have time for this-- *turns around but stops as the mysterious man appears in front of him*
Mysterious Man: My analysis is correct after all, you are quite an impatient ninja. Now let me introduce myself. I am known by many names, Uzumaki-sama, but you may refer to me as Zuko.
Naruto: Okay, now you are starting to piss me off *readies Rasengan* Move away right now, or I’ll be forced to hit you.
Zuko: With that small ball of chakra? Clearly you were supposed to be much stronger than I remember.
Naruto: YOU ASKED FOR IT!
Naruto ran towards Zuko, his Rasengan spinning rapidly. However, Zuko didn’t even flinch. As Naruto shoved the Rasengan on to Zuko, he took the Rasengan by his palm and somehow absorbed it into his hand.
Naruto: *with a shocked impression* W-what—what are you?!
Zuko: *grins* Like I said before, *looks at his hand* I’m not sure I’m human. *gets closer to Naruto* Look, if you can just buy the whole “I’m not human” stuff, it would save us both a lot of time.
Naruto: *calms down* Ok, fine. You’re not human. What do you want with me?
Zuko: Why, I want to help you, Uzumaki-sama. That’s the main reason why I’m here, actually.
Naruto: You want to help me by stopping me?
Zuko: *smiles yet again* Not exactly. You see that tree over there. I believe Nagato is hidden in there, with his partner, Konan.
Naruto: Yeah, I know that much.
Zuko: See, what you’re about to do in there is so vital to the human race; a single mistake would alter the course of history. Forever. I came here to make sure you don’t make a mistake.
Naruto: What do you mean you came here?
Zuko: Uzumaki-sama, I’m from the future.
Naruto: Pfft. *laughs* Oh, that’s funny. I think someone had too much sake in the morning today.
Zuko: *smiles* Noticed anything different when I appeared before you? The birds, the wind, the rustle of trees?
Naruto suddenly realized that the only sound he was hearing was Zuko’s own voice. As he looked around his surroundings, it hit Naruto. Everything was at a standstill, the trees weren’t swaying, and the birds were motionless but were still glued on to the sky. It was as if he was looking into a painting.
Naruto: What the hell?!
Zuko: The moment I entered into your time dimension, your world’s time halted. It’s kind of like a safety measure when I travel through time, that way I won’t alter the course of history THAT much.
Naruto: I see, so you want to kill me so I don’t make a mistake?
Zuko: *laughs* Kill you? What good would that do? I want to change the world, Uzumaki-sama, not destroy it. All will be revealed in good time. *offers his hand as if to shake hands with Naruto* All you have to do is trust me.
Naruto pondered for a short while. Can he trust this strange white-haired youth? Whoever he was, he sure knows an awful lot about him and Pain. Maybe he knows the answer to true peace?
Naruto: Alright, I’ll bite. But you better explain everything to me right now and no surprises, okay? *offers hand*
Zuko: *smiles* All in good time, Uzumaki-sama. All in good time. *grabs Naruto’s hand.
Suddenly, white chakra flowed out of Zuko’s hand and as quick as a flash, this white chakra had engulfed both Naruto and Zuko. As quickly as it appeared, the white chakra disappeared, leaving nothing but timeless air in where Naruto and Zuko were supposed to be,
-x-x-x-
A cocoon of white chakra appeared beneath the withered trees of a dead forest and as the chakra dispersed, two men appeared, breaking the silenced of long forgotten woods.

Naruto: *gasps for air* Huff… *lets go of Zuko’s hand and backs off* W-what the hell did you do?! Where did you take me?
Zuko: Out of breath? Don’t worry. That’s the after-effects of time travel.
Naruto: You-- *gasps* you didn’t answer my question!
Zuko: I didn’t take you anywhere, Uzumaki-sama, I just jumped us five years into the future.
Naruto: WHAT? Five years? But wait… this isn’t the forest we were in.
Zuko: A lot can happen in five years. You’ll know what I mean soon enough.
Naruto: *gasps for one last time and stood straight* Look, just send me back, I don’t have time for this, I have to deal—
Naruto stopped complaining when he suddenly realized something far worse than stopped time. He couldn’t sense a living soul in the area whatsoever.
Zuko: Ah, so you finally noticed, eh?
Ignoring Zuko, Naruto ran towards the void of chakra which wasn’t supposed to be there. Ever since his training for Sage Mode, he can feel the presence of people, animals, even bugs. But why can’t he even sense a single drop of chakra anywhere?
As he reached the cliff which should overlook the village of Konoha, Naruto was shocked to see something else.
There was supposed to be village there,
Instead he saw a huge crater... a void of souls.
Zuko appeared beside Naruto, his face devoid of feelings.

Zuko: Welcome to Konoha, Uzumaki-sama. Well, what’s left of it. That would be a mild overstatement, because there’s nothing left of it.
Naruto: *fists curl up* Konoha… *facial expressions turn into rage* Who did this, Zuko?! I demand you to tell me!
Zuko: Do you really want to know?
Naruto: Did Pain do this?!
Zuko: Pain? No…
Naruto: Then who?!
Zuko: A man who claims he discovered “true peace”. And he would stop at nothing to gain what he wants.
Naruto: *tears swell up in anger* Tell me his name!
Zuko: *looks at Naruto and smiles yet again* His name is none other than…
Uzumaki Naruto.
