Chapter 66: The Looper's Choice

Start from the beginning
                                    

"What do you mean?"

"Your power-Kamimusuhi is killing you. That power is too much even for you, and you still have 1 more genjutsu left. Your body is already collapsing while trying to maintain control over the Edo Tensei, Kushina, Minato and Mei. And you know, you'll die within months if you don't give up that power..." explained Ikiryo,

"I know..."

"However if you release that power from all the people you are controlling, then you can perform a jutsu that can take you back in time and change things..." replied Ikiryo, as Naruto just looked at him in suspicion.

"Get out of here, going back in time?" asked Naruto with disbelief clearly evident on his face,

"To be precise, it's just altering reality. It's a kinjutsu of the Uchiha clan whose knowledge I gained when Indra passed his powers to you...but there is a catch, you lose the sharingan in the process and become blind in one of the eye" said Ikiryo honestly, and he was just mesmerized when Naruto just looked him straight in the eye.

"Will it bring them back?" asked Naruto seriously,

"It'll take you to a point in the past, and from there you can try to prevent the ambush as you'll have the memories..." advised Ikiryo, and he became a little alarmed when Naruto got a strange look in his eyes.

"So, I can go back in time as much as I can...Ikiryo, with this I can fix this. I can bring all my friends back, everyone..." said Naruto happily, but Ikiryo's glare silenced him.

"Don't even think about this. Altering reality is a very dangerous thing, and the amount of reality you want to change will require an immense power...which you don't have. Your body can't handle such pressure, and even if you survive somehow and are able to start from the point you entered in the war...everything will change, you'll be in an entire different world. Everything you've done will get lost, and there is no guarantee that you or your friends can survive the war again. I know what you want to do, but it's not possible..." explained Ikiryo sympathetically, as Naruto clenched his fists tightly.

"I see..."

"You can't save Armin and the others, but you can save Mikasa and her squad. This ambush has just happened a few minutes ago, so you can use this Kinjutsu to change reality without endangering your life. But for that, you'll need the power of your last Kamimusuhi and release the power that you are currently utilizing to control your victims...otherwise you'll go blind. And I warn you, after this you can never use Kamimusuhi again in your life...it will be out of your grasp forever" warned Ikiryo seriously,

"But the Edo Tensei would fall back in Orochimaru's control, Kushina will be under Madara's influence, and Mei would not co-operate with my plans..." argued Naruto,

"Quite the contrary, with Kamimusuhi you freed the Edo Tensei- right now if you release your control they will be free and have their own will, but eventually they will have to leave or be sealed away in order to not get controlled again. Kushina will be in the same state, she'll not be under anyone genjutsu's and from there you can protect her. And Mei is a good person, and your cause is noble...she'll agree with you, and if not then just use your Mangekyo to make her agree. And you can make Minato agree if you talk to him honestly" suggested Ikiryo, as Naruto understood the plan.

"How does it work?" asked Naruto curiously, as Ikiryo showed him the hand signs.

"Rabbit, boar, ram hand seals must be performed simultaneously. You must use your Yin chakra as well as your imagination in order to determine the point from where you want to start again while your Yang chakra must be focused to alter reality, remember you only get one chance at this...so chose a point from where you can get ample time to prepare and stop this ambush, as well warn the others about the impending civil war. Naruto, a lot of good people must have lost their lives by now...you just don't have to save your squad, but save everyone" explained Ikiryo in detail,
