Summary
In a last ditch effort to clean the slate, to erase the apocalypse and downfall of humanity, the last two humans on earth give up even that to go back to the past and prevent the end before Madara can get the ball rolling. Now between scheming to create a better future, lying about their identities, and coping with the knowledge neither really falls neatly into the definition of human anymore, they also have to come to grips with their feelings for one another while finding their place in the past.
Or:
Naruto and Shikamara give up what made them human in the first place to go back in time and gaslight the village into believing they're their own uncles while attempting to make a peaceful future and live normal, or normal adjacent, lives.
