This story is by TheGoatHub, but it was actually stolen from fan fiction. The original is "Naruto: Shifts in Life" by The Engulfing Silence. I'm putting it here because this platform's text-to-speech app is one of the best I've found.

A few small changes can make a world of difference. Knowledge given at the beginning of ones can career can turn a hopeless loser into a shinobi of strength and skill.
Differences in a history that have long since passed can create a totally different outcome from what we might expect.

Naruto: Winds and Changes 2

"Kasumi Juusha No Jutsu (Mist Servant Technique)!"

Anko frowned as she watched what looked to be several hundred clones of a person climb out of the ground as if made of some kind of muddy substance. The figure was wearing a light tan straight jacket like jumpsuit, a breathing apparatus and had a Amegakure headband.

"What the hell is going on?" Anko wondered out loud as she looked around herself, "Who the hell are you!"

All the figures gave an eerie chuckle, "I'm the person who's going to be killing you today."

Anko shrugged the off the ridiculously small amount of killing intent and gave the clones a bloodthirsty grin, "You think you can kill me? Well let's hope for your sake that you can, otherwise I'm going to take a lot of enjoyment listening to you squeal."

At the same time that jutsu was called with Kirabi and his two students Karui and Omoi. They watched as the clones came up from the ground, with the two Chunin looking at the Hachibi Jinchuuriki.

"This is a most interesting technique yo, looks like these are all copies of the original fool," Kirabi pulled two swords off his back, prompting the two to do the same. "My raps are hip my rhymes are sweet, I hope you dudes know what you're getting into cuz the Killer Bee can't be beat!"

Omoi, Karui and all of the clones sweatdropped.

Kotetsu growled in frustration as he cut through another one of those clones, only for it to reform as if nothing at happened, "What the hell are these things? Why! Won't! They! Die!" He hacked a clone each word in emphasis, biting back a scream of frustration when the clones all reformed.

"Hey! Chill man!" Izumo tried to calm his comrade down as he sliced off the arm of a clone, frowning when the wound became covered in that murky substance and healed up, "And stop swinging that thing around so recklessly! You might end up taking my head off rather than your enemies!"

"Sorry about that man, but these things are pissing me off! Nothing seems to work." To emphasis his point all of the clones he had just hacked to pieces reformed and charged back at him.

The two gate guards took a moment to look towards the center of the voice to see Samui running into the midst of the clones, hacking them apart with her blade. "Have you two seen Kirabi-sensei or Anko-san?" Samui asked as she got near them.

Kotetsu and Izumo looked at each other before getting back to work, "No we haven't."

Samui narrowed her eyes, the only sign of her frustration that she allowed to show, "I see… and if things are like this for you then they are likely the same for the others…" She readied her blade, "So it seems we will need to get through these things and find the real one before linking back up with our teammates."

"That seemed to be the gist of it," Kotetsu said.

"Right," Samui sighed as she and the two Konoha Chunin readied themselves for a fight.
