I would like to state that I do not own Naruto or any of the Characters from the Franchise used. I only own the original character used in the story.

This is a rewrite of my previous work with some of the key components changed. What Key Components? That you will have to read and find out for yourself.

The Naruto timeline has, in most cases, been murky when it comes to events that occurred before the start of the anime/manga.

Our MC, Renjiro, is younger than Minato (5 years) and older than Obito and Kakashi (5-7 years)

Overall there has been a lot of speculation of how things occurred. In light of this, I have employed a timeline that involves assumptions as well as stated facts.

BNB= BEFORE Naruto's birth ANB= AFTER Naruto's Birth
Uchiha Massacare-7ANB
Nine Tails Rampage-0BNB
Minato becomes Hokage- 4BNB
3Shinobi War Ends- 5BNB

Rin 'Dies'-7BNB
Obito Dies-8BNB
3SW Starts- 9BNB(5YRS)
(Obito & Rin) chunin(11)-10BNB
(Obito & Rin) genin(9)-12BNB
(Obito & Rin) academy(5)-15BNB
Renjiro Genin(8)-19BNB
Renjiro 'awakens'(5)-22BNB
Uzushigakure destroyed-22BNB
2SHinobi War Ends= 24BNB

Of course, some of the vents past Renjiro achieving rank would either be prolonged or shortened due to his involvement in the story.

Happy Reading!
