One of the most enjoyable time-travel fics I've ever had the pleasure of reading, complemented by the fact that it's less than 30k words and in no way leaves you feeling unsatisfied. The premise is simple; a pragmatic Team 7 (post-Kaguya) plus one come back in time to prevent the Fourth War from ever taking place. They land near the end of the Third War and proceed to utterly annihilate every other person they consider to have the potential of becoming a world-ending threat in the future, either directly or indirectly, all the while working towards a seemingly enigmatic endgame. Of course since it's Naruto they spare those who have to yet to embark on such a route (they aren't that pragmatic) and they do forget about a few enemies. While the premise does feel like the setup for a crack-fic there are quite a few awesome and bittersweet moments around and ultimately the fic culminates in a finale that is equal parts awesome, heartwarming and bittersweet.
The one-shot prologue and five-part epilogue further expand the universe, with the prologue explaining just why they did what they did while the epilogue shows the results of their time-travel and the consequent new timeline through the eyes of Obito Uchiha.
