Darkness Ascending (Naruto Fanfic)

Naruto is crushed under the rock instead of Obito. All generations after Hashirama/Madara are born a generation earlier.
Changes in ages made some differences in Hokages. As followed:
1. Senju Hashirama was the same as before. His cause of death is unkown.
2. Senju Tobirama was the same as before. Offered Hiruzen the spot of Sandaime as in canon but he turned it down thinking it was time for the next generation. Minato, a fresh Jounin, got the job.
3. Namikaze Minato was the Sandaime and still the pupil of Jiraiya. Died at the hands of Orochimaru like canon Hiruzen.
4. Uchiha Obito became Hokage after the conclusion of the Third Shinobi War. He died in the same scenario of canon Minato.
5. Tsunade is older and lost both her brother and her lover in the First Shinobi War instead of the Second Shinobi War. With twenty more years of depression compared to canon she was a lot worse off but still became Hokage at the end.
6. Uchiha Sasuke never fell into darkness like he did in canon. He looked up to his sensei Uchiha Obito. Obito's strength helped Sasuke shoulder darkness much like canon Kakashi did.
7. Uchiha-Nohara Menma is the protagonist of the story. He never went into darkness despite the Uchiha curse of hatred tempting him many times.
Others:
1. Sarutobi Hiruzen was a fellow comrade of Hashirama and Tobirama. He is very old but still very alive. He turned down being Hokage in favour of Minato.
2. Namikaze Naruto fell into darkness after he watched Sasuke kill Sakura. Due to confusion on the part of White Zetsu and Tobi, they were seen wearing cherry blossons on their Akatsuki cloaks much to Naruto's chagrin.
3. Haruno Sakura died at the hands of Sasuke by committing suicide to his chidori. She was reanimated in the war and quickly broke off from Kabuto's control on her own. She fought alongside Sasuke and Menma. She was the youngest medical-nin to achieve the Byakugou seal and trained under Uzumaki Kushina. While Kushina couldn't achieve this feat, Sakura was able to follow the theory Kushina taught. She was considered a once-in-a-generation prodigy. Unlike her canon counter part she was best friends with Naruto from an early age.
4. Yuuki Fuyuka is the daughter of Kiri missing-nin who moved to Konoha. Her parents sided with the Uchiha due to the counsel wanting to extradite them back to Kiri.
6. Bara Akahana is the teammate of Menma and Fuyuka. She can't decide if she loves or hates Menma. She decides on both. She looks up to Sakura who was the youngest medical-nin to achieve the Byakugou seal. She trains under Tsunade.
7. Uzumaki Kushina trained under Uzumaki Mito before she became the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi. She was never able to achieve Mito's Byakugou seal but was still renowned worldwide. She was reanimated and with the help of Sakura she broke out of Kabuto's control. Later she taught Menma how to control the Kyuubi and she heartbreakingly fought against her own son during the war.
8. Hyuuga Himawari is a shy girl who has a crush on Menma. She is Hinata's counterpart.
