There all dead....they all dead from the battle against Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Their gone, their never coming back, i wasn't even able to save one person. Not one of them is alive out of all of them.

I stared blankly ahead, my mind blank for the first time. Is this how it feels when you lose people, even those that you didn't know very much?

I feel so much pain, so much sadness and self-hate. I couldn't help them live, i was not a medic. I did know a little on how to heal but that's just it. I'm not as great as sakura or tsunade.

I'm not anyone important besides being the heir of the nara clan...but that doesn't matter, at least not anymore.

Everyone's dead but me, why me? Why am i still alive while they are dead? At least someone should be still alive, like naruto. Heck even sasuke or orochimaru would be alright as long as they were alive....

....I'm all alone in this world...what should i do?....what will happen next...am i going to die?....i don't want to be alone anymore.....i was never alone when naruto and the others were there to bother me...they are troublesome....but they are my troublesome friends and family....

But i know i would never be able to kill myself, i need to live for them. I don't think they would all be happy when they see me again when i was alive when they died. They would have most likely wanted me to live on while they are dead...

I don't know if i could do that, but...they wouldn't like it if i killed myself when i could have lived....

Then all of a sudden everything went black, was i poisoned or something? I then found myself standing on....? Everywhere was white, i don't think I'm even standing on something, but i don't know for sure.

I look around, wearily. Where am i? I didn't see anyone but i didn't relax yet. They could still be someone here, if there is someone left alive that is...

"Shikamaru, you have been brought here for a reason." a voice said.

I froze, still trying to see where this person was...and what reason?

"What reason?" i questioned with a hint of caution.

"This was not supposed to end like this, you ended up being the only survivor against kaguya...they were supposed to win and live on, but something happened to make them all die except you....do you know why?" the voice said.

"No, i don't know why i survived while they died..." i answered truthfully.

"You survived because of the shadows...the shadow king will not allow you to die as long as you have him inside you. You are a jinchuuriki of the shadow king himself. He controls the shadows along with others. You lived because your a jinchuuriki of the most powerful and unknown tailed beast that exists. The twelfth tailed beast, the legendary shadow king. There are no more tail beast besides the one sealed inside you and the one to nine and ten tailed. Don't expect more." the now identified he said.

I'm a jinchuuriki? Why Didn't i know of this...and I'm supposed to be smart...

I'm a jinchuuriki of the twelfth tailed beast, the shadow king...the most strongest and unknown of all. I didn't see that coming, but then again​ i didn't see this coming either. Some genius i am....

"A jinchuuriki uh...didn't see that coming." i said calmly.

"You have been chosen to be sent back to the past and make it right again. This shouldn't have happened and you shouldn't be suffering because a twisted fate happened. You deserve a second chance, you endured so much and yet you still continue to live. You will have the same power and knowledge and house the other tailed beast as well. I will send you back in time. Be prepared to have some gifts to you, befriend the other jinchuuriki if you want. Change history, just make sure your making it right." he said as i stared in shock.

I...can save them..? I can make this right, they will live if i have a say to it.

"Alright, do what you deem is necessary, as long as i can save them then i don't care. Even if i die doing so." i said with conviction. I will do what it takes to save them, that i promise.

"Very well, you will house the other tailed beast for both your and theirs protection. You will get a few gifts from me that you need." he said.

But the last few words caught my intention. "Take care my children, don't die shikamaru..." he heard as he vanished.

It all went black...
