Ch.1 Death of a shinobi, Birth of a fairy
It had happen so quickly that only looks of shock, horror and pain could be seen on the faces on three individuals that stood in the middle of a battle-scarred wasteland riddled with the dead and weapons on the ground, surrounded by a tree called the Shinju.
One a silver-haired man with a scar adorning one of his eyes wearing a black headband with the kanji for shinobi on it, a green flak jacket with a swirl on the back, fingerless gloves, blue open toe sandals and dark blue pants with matching shirt clenched his fist, this was Kakashi Hatake; another a pink-haired young woman with a diamond in the center of her forehead, curvaceous figure wore a similar attire had fallen to her knees, covering her mouth with tears streaming down her face fighting back to hold back her cries that wanted to force their way out, she was Sakura Haruno; finally a raven-haired young man wearing an open white kimono showing his lean build, with black baggy pants under a purple robe like cloth began to bear an expression of pure rage upon his face nearly being contained, he was Sasuke Uchiha.
Overhead a red moon could be seen looking down on them and the cause of their expression. It was the sight of their dear blonde friend and team-mate Naruto Uzumaki, who had been run through the heart by a black spear-like object coming from the ground.
-Few minutes earlier-
The incident had happened not long after their harsh battle with the goddess Kaguya that left them tired and wounded. The descendants of both Asura and Indra used the power given to them by the Rikudo Sennin to reseal Kaguya; as he and his brother did years ago, and removed the nine bijuu contained within her.
They both fell at opposite distances of each other; each gaining a look of accomplishment on their face after defeating the goddess. In the distance, they were able to see their sensei and teammate running towards them.
Naruto was the first to speak, after getting into a sitting position. "We finally beat her, eh Sasuke."
"Yeah," the raven-haired replied sporting a smirk.
As both of them sat to rest themselves Naruto heard a deep, loud voice inside his mind. He found himself in front of a giant nine-tail fox that was looking down at him with two red eyes. "It's not over yet kit, I still sense malice coming from somewhere. I don't know where but its close."
'What, where!' Naruto demanded from the giant fox. 'Did Kaguya somehow replace herself with a clone or something.'
"No, it is not Kaguya she was definitely caught sealed away, but this malice it feels familiar to…" Kurama pauses, and then suddenly gained a worried expression on his face. 'Impossible he couldn't have survived, I was sure they got him in the seal as well. Unless.' He began to sense the area for the malice's location.
Sasuke looked over and noticed a hard look on Naruto's face, but waved it off believing he was conversing with the Kyuubi. Unbeknown to everyone a small black pool began to form near Sasuke, which formed a menacing grin. 'Time to die Uchiha brat.'
-X-
Suddenly Kurama picked up on where the malice was coming from and quickly alerted Naruto, as said blonde had been pestering him with questions. "Naruto its over there near Sasuke."
Without thinking Naruto leapt up activating what little of Kurama's chakra he had left and ran towards Sasuke in an orange flash of flames. "Wait, Naruto" the fox had attempted to warn the spiky-haired blonde of something but was ignored.
Kakashi and Sakura noticed Naruto had activated his Kyuubi cloak and running towards Sasuke both gaining questionable looks. Kakashi looked towards the pinkette; "Somethings wrong we have to hurry." He sees Sakura nod in response and pick up speed.
Sasuke suddenly sensed Naruto's chakra heading towards him and prepared his body to move; however he was too late as the blonde quickly shoved him out of the way just as the black puddle began to shoot towards his chest creating a spike, causing the raven-haired to tumble to the side.
"What the hell Naru-" Sasuke paused as he got up and became wide-eyed at the sight in front of him after Naruto had shoved him. At the same time, Kakashi and Sakura had arrived at the scene taking on various expressions.
-present-
a maniacal laugh could be heard from the spear like object sticking out from Naruto. The blonde in question losing conscious slowly whilst grimacing in pain as blood trickled from his mouth.
"Well it's not the Uchiha brat but no matter, this his even better." A black humanoid shape began to form from the tip of the spear, sticking out of Naruto's back, revealing it to be none other than Black Zetsu. Zetsu looked to see two of the trio with a surprise expression as the third glared intensely. "Aww, what's the matter everyone not happy to see me, surprised I'm not sealed away with Kaa-san or is it because I appear to have my hand firmly place between this brat's heart". He emphasizes the last part by jerking his arm a little causing Naruto to yell in pain nearly passing out.
Sasuke activates Susanoo's arm preparing to knock him away from Naruto but misses causing said blonde to almost fall to the ground until Kakashi catches him. Sasuke chases after Black Zetsu screaming, determined to end him nearly followed by Sakura, but had been called to by Kakashi.
"Sakura, Sasuke can handle himself right now we need to do what we can for Naruto".
"But, sensei he can't fight that monster alone". The pinkette voiced out with worry in her tone.
"I understand, but we can't leave Naruto like this. I don't know how long he'll last with a wound like this." Kakashi looks down at Naruto seeing the wound in his chest recalls memories of rin's death. He looks back up to see Sakura looking at Sasuke's fight with Zetsu and then turn her attention to her teammate quickly losing blood. Said blonde could only listen as he once again found himself inside his mindscape which began to be encased in darkness.
-inside mindscape-
Looking up the blonde saw Kurama staring down at him. "Kurama what's going on, this place it feels colder for some reason." The nine-tailed bijuu didn't respond. "Oi, Kurama what's going on is everyone ok. What about Sasuke?" The fox still didn't answer but merely closed his eyes sighing. "Tsk, fine be that way and don't answer I'll find out myself."
Naruto turns around attempting to leave but is suddenly stopped by Kurama who places one of his large tails in the blondes' path. Sighing Kurama speaks "You can't leave from in here kit. At least… not anymore."
"What do you mean I can't leave from here?"
"Because Naruto, you are dying." Kurama watched as his host expression turned to one of disbelief as he heard the news. "I'm sorry I tried to warn you, but you had already charged in to save the Uchiha. Zetsu had attempted to kill him while no one was aware of his presence but due to your interference he failed to do so, but before you could get out of the way, you ran out of whatever chakra of mine you had left."
-X-
For a while, Naruto stood there with is head casted down, with nothing but a blank expression on his face not saying a word. Kurama could sense the swirling of negative emotions welling up inside Naruto.
He eventually falls to his hands and knees with his eyes still refusing to look up. "Can't you heal me? You know like before."
"I cannot, the damage is too severe for even me to undo", Kurama replies, causing the blonde to further realize that his life was over. He watched as Naruto began to shake, and then hear the sounds of the young boys tears as they landed on the lightly frozen watery surface of his mindscape, that changed due to the current situation.
-X-
The large space they remained in felt quiet, except for the sounds of Naruto's sobbing, which did not seem on stopping anytime soon. And who could blame him after years of struggling he had finally felt accepted by everyone and was going to accomplish his dream of becoming Hokage so that he may be able to continue to protect the smiles and lives of his friends. It hurt knowing that he would no longer be with them. Unable to bear seeing the young man he had watch his whole life, who fought through toil and pain to accomplish what others saw impossible break in such a way decided to give him the same thing that he was given, a second chance.
'Forgive me Jiji but, Naruto deserves this more than anything. I hope you can understand.' The giant fox thought to himself.
A loud and thunderous clap echoed throughout the large space, causing Naruto to look for the source of what alerted him. He then noticed Kurama with his palms together and suddenly felt a massive amount of chakra surround him.
"Naruto!" Kurama yelled further gaining the blonde's attention. "We had a nice run together, eh. But I guess our fun with each other had to end someday huh?" Naruto just continued watching as markings began to appear on Kurama's body. "We may not have gotten along, but I have enough respect for you to truly call you my friend." He then gave Naruto a wide smirk showing his fangs.
'No, you can't, you can't be leaving too,' though it was slow Naruto began walking towards Kurama while gaining speed with each step. 'You can't leave, baka-kitsune!" Naruto screamed mentally.
"Heh, I guess this is goodbye kit…I mean Naruto." When the final marking appeared on Kurama's head, he quickly flew through a row of hand signs before shouting, "Tamashī no umarekawari no Jutsu."
Suddenly, a white flash envelops both Naruto and Kurama with the former screaming in the process.
- Meanwhile -
Outside of Naruto's body, Kakashi and Sakura could only watch as the light in Naruto's eyes faded into a dull gray after attempting to heal the wound. However, it was for naught once Sakura confirmed that Black Zetsu had stabbed a hole directly through his heart and damaged a few other organs in the process. Kakashi then closed his student's eyes while holding him close, as Sakura sat across from them letting the tears roll down her cheeks.
'I'm sorry Sensei, Obito, Jiraiya-san, Kushina-san; I failed to protect Naruto again. But at least you all can be together, let us hope we meet again in the next life.' At that moment, Sasuke had activated the full form of Susanoo, causing both Kakashi and Sakura to look in his direction as the enormous, ethereal figure appeared to have something in its grip.
-X-
"He should be dead by now, a shame really sacrificing himself for someone who did nothing but despised him. If only I could've watched as the life drained from his eyes ", voiced the dark figure but soon screamed in pain as Sasuke tightened his grip. "Teme."
"SHUT UP! You've done nothing but cause pain to everyone I know. My clan. Nii-san. Even to Naruto and for that it will cost you." Sasuke had repeatedly slammed Zetsu into the ground before holding him down and uttering the last words the will of Kaguya would hear. "Burn in the heavenly flames for all who you wronged. Amaterasu!" Black flames had then engulfed Zetsu's entire being before he was thrown. "Kamui!" A portal opened up in the direction Zetsu was thrown towards closing as soon as he entered. "Now you will forever be just a burning memory." Sasuke then deactivated Susanoo as he made his may back to his team, but when he did he saw something he never expected.
As the trio watched an orange glow began to envelope Naruto's body into a ball, and slowly lift itself off the ground. It then started to shrink in size before shooting into the air and vanishing from sight; taking the young blonde with it. Before either of them could question what happened to their friend or do anything to undo it Kurama appeared in front of them resembling the size of a horse, with his tails swaying around. He then proceeded to explain the situation.
He told them that what they were seeing was what little chakra he had left manifested in a physical form to leave behind a message. As Kurama explained he could see the looks of concern on their faces but told them there was no need to worry and that Naruto would be all right. After hearing what happened to Naruto, they watched as Kurama began to fade away bidding them farewell from this world. Saying goodbye to the nine-tailed fox the three also wished Naruto a happy new life where ever he is, before helping the rest of the Shinobi Alliance.
- Fiore, Magnolia-
Meanwhile, a mysterious figure wearing a cloak with flame trimmings and fox crest on the back is seen walking up to a house in the middle of a forest from a town some distances away, appearing to be holding an infant with a blonde patch of hair in its arms. The figure has a tall, muscular build but it holds the infant in its arms with the utmost care ensuring no harm comes to it. The figure pauses at the door upon reaching it, looks down at the infant in his arms and grins.
"You'll be safe here, I'm sure of it. So you better behave yourself, ok. Respect your elders, eat all your food not just one thing or risk staying short, settle down eventually just choose wisely I won't be there to give you advice on females and no matter what stay strong. I think that's all." Before knocking the figure, looks back down. "Oh yeah, don't change too much ok." He is answered by a cooing sound and laughs. The figure then proceeds to knock on the home only to be greeted by an elderly looking women with pink hair tied in a bun scowling slightly before speaking.
"I don't know who you are, but you're certainly not human, at least not completely." She says looking at the figure in front of her. "Why are you out here this late at night?"
"May I come in? I would be sure to explain if you allowed me to rest for a while." Wanting to deny the request seeing he was a stranger, she reluctantly agrees after looking down at the infant the figure was holding and the fact it was late at night. The woman moves to the side allowing them entrance and closes the door behind her.
It was that very night that changed the destinies of two people, for many years to come.
A.N. So that's the first chapter everybody, it might be a tad short but I think its ok for a start reason being I'm saving anything that might not have been explained now in future chapters.
Now for the explanation of techniques (even though there's only one)
Tamashī no umarekawari no Jutsu(Resurrection of the soul technique): This technique always the caster to use their chakra to resurrect the body and soul of another in another life; whether the person is reborn in the same world is out of the casters control causing the person having the Jutsu used on reborn in a different world and time. There are two side effects to this Jutsu one is that the caster's chakra will be used completely. Another is that the caster will also be affected.
