Hello! Welcome to my new story!
Now those of you who follow my
others, do not worry, I am not going to be adding this as my side story.
Thus will be one of my main stories.
Now, a bit of background for this.
Naruto will be OP. I don't care what you say, he will be like that as this will be post 4th war and Toneri. But no Hinata love or anything involving her happened in this version besides her being and Hanabi being kidnapped. Just straight up Naruto that never had a relationship with Hinata.
Not much else to say without spoiling it. But the part that is written in ITALICS is meant to be inaccurate.
It is from the story being passed down from generation to generation. Like the elementary game telephone. Where you tell someone something and when it gets back to you it is different than what you said.
Also, I apologize as this is self edited and my raw work. So grammar and spelling is not the best.
Enough babbling!
Enjoy!
"Mommy, why are we here?"
Lilac eyes stared up into silver. The owner of the silver eyes just giggled at her blonde haired child.
The silver eyed woman was very beautiful. She had black and red hair and wore black clothing. She wore a white hooded cloak on top.
This was Summer Rose.
"Yang, we are here to honor a hero."
Yang was a small child who had blonde hair. She looked to be around five years old. She wore a yellow sundress.
Yang just tilted her head to the side. Hero? What hero could it be?
"Up." A small voice said.
Her and Yang turned to see a girl about three years old. She had black and red hair. Silver eyes staring back into her own silver.
She leaned down and picked up the small child.
"There you go Ruby. Is that better?"
Ruby looked to be around three years old. She wore a black dress that was covered by a cloak just like her mother's except this one being red.
The small girl nodded her head as her mother adjusted Ruby in her right arm…
Her only arm.
That was the reason why she came here today. If it wasn't for him, she would have lost a lot more than just her arm.
"Mother, why must we be here today? I was planning to work on my studies."
The family of three turned to see another family of three.
They all shared the same hair color which was white. Snow white.
The first was a woman who seemed to be a few years older than Summer herself. She wore a elegant white dress that went just above her knees.
Next was her daughter who seemed a older than Yang by a few years. Then came a little girl that seemed to be Yang's age. They shared common features such as their face and their snow white hair.
They also wore the same attire. A white, spaghetti strap top. And what was obvious to Summer, was that they wore a BATTLE skirt! People just assume it was a regular skirt which it was not.
"Winter, for the last time, we are here to pay our respects." The mother said. "And I told you, stop being so uptight. I swear, your father is trying to take away your childhood."
Before Summer could greet them, another small family made themselves known.
"Come now, Blake. I really want you to see this place before it gets too late."
The first was a woman who was also around Summer's age. She wore a black and white top with a purple ribbon tied around her left bicep. What caught everyone's attention was her black cat ears.
Next to her was her daughter who like Yang, seemed to be five years old and wore a black sundress. She had a purple ribbon that tied her hair back. She also had black cat ears.
The group of three families stared at each other. The air around them tensed. Each one looking at the others with a calculating eye.
"Hiya! Name's Summer Rose! And these are my daughters Yang and Ruby!" And just like that the tension shattered.
"Hello. My name is Whitney Schnee. These are my daughter's, Winter and Weiss." Both of her white haired children bowed, Weiss with a bit of arrogance.
"Ice!"
And just like that, Weiss deflated Ruby's attempt at her name.
The sound of giggling brought the two families to the last addition.
"Hi. My name is Kali Belladonna and this is my daughter, Blake." Blake gave a small wave while trying to hide behind her mother showing shyness.
"Well it's pleasant to meet you all." Whitney said as Summer and Kali nodded in agreement.
"So… are you all here to just visit or…" Summer asked not sure what brought the others.
Whitney was the first to speak.
"Well, I was ill for quite some time and still am. However, a few months ago, I was on my death bed." This brought a gasp from the other two women.
"I would not even be here if it wasn't for him. You see, I had a disease that has never been seen or heard of before. No amount of medicine or treatments were working." Winter and Weiss hugged their mother tightly at the potential loss of their mother.
"So imagine my surprise when my husband found an orange flower in my garden that happened to smell of foxes. After getting it tested, it just so happened to slow down and even reverse most of the disease I have. That has allowed doctors and scientists to study my disease and have already begun to make a cure for it."
Summer and Kali nodded. A mysterious flower appears just when they need it? Sounds like it was him.
"And how about you two?" Whitney asked looking at the two women. Kali spoke first.
"Well, believe it or not, I too was saved by him." Kali said. "You see, my husband and I were coming home from vacation one day overseas. However, a storm didn't seem to let us go without a fight. The storm ended up destroying our boat and left us swimming in the middle of the ocean. All while I was pregnant."
Summer and Whitney had worried expressions on their face. She could have lost her unborn child.
"We were out there for a few days just floating on drift wood. The water seemed to have died as we stayed in the same spot since the ship wrecked. When all hope seemed lost, a small, wooden dinghy floated to us. As we got in, the ocean seemed to come alive once again as it pushed us to shore. And a few days later, I gave birth to this little one." Kali said ushering to Blake.
"I waited as I wanted Blake to see her savior as well." They nodded in understanding. "And what about you Summer? What brings you here?"
"Well, I was doing a routine mission. At least, it was routine. On my way home, there was a group of Grimm waiting for me in the forest. All sorts of Grimm. You name it, it was there. I managed to kill more than half but I began to run out of Aura. It was overwhelming and to put things simple, a simple boarbatusk did this to me." Summer showed them her missing arm.
"I fell over as I was only running on fumes at this point. I saw a Nevermore coming down at me and closed my eyes waiting for the end." She shed tears at this. "I was wishing to see my daughters one last time before it all ended. But to my surprise, it never came. As I opened my eyes, I saw a tree had grown in front of me and speared the Nevermore. I then looked over to where my missing arm was only to see branches from where my arm was cut off. When the branches moved, I had my arm back but it was all white. And then an unknown source of energy made its way into me. I didn't know what it was, but it was stronger than aura. I instantly got up and I was able to take down the rest of the Grimm. When the last one died, the white arm disintegrated and left me armless again. Though, my wound was cauterized and I felt no pain like I should have."
Whitney and Kali were left wide eyed at that. There were many reports of him saving people or having miracles done, but to have THAT happen to you was amazing!
"That's… quite the tale." Whitney said in amazement. Kali nodding in agreement.
"Mother, who is 'him'?" Winter asked.
"Yeah. Why is he so important?" Yang questioned. Blake and Weiss seemed to share the same opinion.
Kali giggled.
"Well, I suggest we should head up there and tell our children all about him." They all then turned to the structure they were in front of.
It was a temple like building that was situated in the forest they were currently in. It had stairs to the top but not an excessive amount.
They all proceeded to the top of the temple and came to a sight the adults were familiar with and that amazed the children.
In the middle of the room was a big book on an altar. The floors and walls were surrounded by plant life. It wasn't overrun like an abandoned building but seemed as if someone planted it all. On the back wall was what caught the children's attention.
It had giant beasts painted on it. Each seemed to get bigger from the one on the left of it until it reached the middle and then continued.
On the left were creatures with one tail to four. And on the right were creatures with five tails to eight.
The middle creature being the divider of them.
It was a creature that was significantly larger than the rest. It resembled a fox but also had human characteristics. Like its human like torso and front arms of that of a human. It had rabbit ears atop of its head. What intrigued the kids was its nine crimson tails.
The creature seemed to look at them with a ferocious smirk as if they were it's next meal. As did all the beasts on the wall seemed to mirror but didn't have nearly the effect the fox had.
However, upon seeing the foxes smirk, they noticed that atop of its head was a human that seemed to be wearing a cloak of some kind and had spiky hair.
This was all they could see as the human was just that of a silhouette.
"Who's that?" Blake asked what the other children were thinking.
"Well that my little kitten, is none other the hero we have been talking about."
"Hero?" Questioned Yang. She needed to find out who he was because her mother would not stop mentioning him.
"Yes dear." Whitney said. "He is the hero of his time and of the world. He saved the world multiple times from being destroyed."
That had all their attention now. He sounded like a hero from a fairy tale.
"How did he save the world?" Winter asked. Summer stepped forward.
"I'm glad you are all so interested. But first," she walked to the altar with the book. "We must start from the beginning. This story is known throughout all of Remnant."
Everyone gathered around Summer as she began to read.
It all started with a woman named Kaguya. No one knew where she came from but she was not of this world.
One village took her in and treated her as one of their own. She was the most beautiful woman in the entire village. So much so, that she captured the heart of the villages leader.
But this was all during times with lack of advanced technology and no aura. They simply had carriages to go places and used weapons such as spears, swords, and maces.
This also happened to be a time when war was common.
Kaguya's village was currently in a ceasefire against a neighboring village. In an attempt to keep Kaguya a secret as she had features that were certainly unique, they sent her to a small cabin hidden from others.
But the neighboring village found out where this cabin was and planned an attack on Kaguya. They wanted to take Kaguya as their own or wage war.
Kaguya ended up beating them with special powers that she had.
This led to the neighboring village demanding Kaguya's death or face another war.
In his haste, the village leader led a squad out to find Kaguya.
They found Kaguya near the Shinju tree.
Now this tree was forbidden for people to go near. This tree was dangerous as those who went near it were never heard from again.
The village leader then attacked Kaguya. However, Kaguya's best friend tried to reason with him by stating she was pregnant.
Watching her friend lose her life, Kaguya ate the fruit of the Shinju tree.
This granted Kaguya with unimaginable power. With this power known as chakra, a variation of aura, she decimated the villages in world and brought them under her control.
She then went on to give birth to two boys.
After raising them and controlling the villages, she began to lose her mind. She became a ruthless ruler with strict laws.
Her sons saw this and asked for her to end her tyranny. She saw this as a revolt and attacked her sons.
With no other choices, they fought back. After days of fighting, their mother changed into a beast with one eye and ten tails.
This beast was something no one had ever seen before. With so much power, it's steps could crush mountains.
With a heavy heart, her oldest son separated his mother from this beast and with the help of his younger brother, they were able seal their mother away with the shell of the ten tailed beast.
There was only a shell as her oldest son used his special eyes to separate the beast into nine different beasts. All ranging from one tail to nine tails.
His younger brother then went to the moon with the sealed beast and their mother to make sure the ten tailed beast will never rise again.
The eldest then went on to spread this peace and chakra, which he called ninshu.
After years of travelling, he had his own two sons. Then came the time for him to pick who would become his successor for ninshu.
His eldest son believed in being strong and power were the way to rule while the youngest believed in peace and love were the way to rule.
When the time came to choose, he picked the youngest son. The eldest son was overcome with jealousy that he fought his younger brother.
They caused great devastation with their battle. It ended with the younger brother defeating his older brother.
The youngest brother then lived in peace for the rest of his days along with everyone else.
"Is that who's standing on top of the fox?" Weiss asked.
The rest of the children wondered the same thing. Summer just giggled.
"That is someone different Weiss. The hero that is standing on the fox is who I will be talking about next." Summer said.
"Catra!" Ruby yelled.
The mothers laughed at the toddler.
"No Ruby, chakra." Kali corrected. She then turned to the rest of the group. "Chakra is the energy that the people from those times used. It is the predecessor of aura. Though it had a lot more capabilities than we have today."
The children nodded in understanding even if they only knew the basics of aura.
Everyone got quiet again and listened to Summer read.
Peace is such a difficult thing to hold.
Ever since the battle of brothers and after the youngest brother died, the world was once again in chaos.
Three wars broke out including a clan war. These wars were started for such petty reasons and people pointing fingers.
But after the last war, the Third Shinobi War, did things seem to be peaceful for some time.
But even that didn't last.
For on the day of October Tenth, disaster struck.
In the Great Leaf Village, the Nine Tailed Fox was released and attacked the village.
Many lives were lost in the fight against the tailed beast.
But they were saved by one man.
The Fourth Hokage.
He fought with the beast and with the help of his wife, subdued it.
But they could not kill the nine tails as it was a being of pure chakra.
So with a heavy heart, the Fourth Hokage and his wife sealed the beast into a blond haired child at the cost of their lives.
This child was their newborn son.
Thirteen years passed since the day the fox attacked the village.
And the blond haired child could be seen smiling.
This was the son of the fourth. He had a difficult childhood. In his haste, the Third Hokage told the village that he held the nine tails.
The village was angry and treated the child harshly as he grew up. With name calling and bullying. And even some more despicable people even attacked him.
But through all of this, the blond haired boy charged through with a smile on his face. He had the purest of hearts and was able to make many friends.
As he became a ninja, he met many friends and foes. And some of those foes became friends.
He fought a child who was just like him, held a tailed beast.
They shared similar pasts and fought. But in the end, he was able to befriend this other child.
He then went on to save many including a princess.
Then came a dark time. A friend who he saw as his brother left to find more power.
The boy blamed himself for not being stronger so he left with his teacher to become stronger.
They took a two year trip to train and become more powerful.
During this time, a terrorist group formed and began to capture the tailed beasts.
The boy was able to save his friend who he fought a few years ago but was not able to save the rest besides the one who held the eight tails.
This continued for a couple of years. With the boy fighting the terrorist group while also doing many other heroic acts.
He saved the world from a demon with a priestess, he fought a creature known as the zero tails, and even saved the world from a demon that came from a box.
Then came the time when his teacher died. He died to a man who had eyes that the eldest son of Kaguya possessed.
The boy and man fought after the man had killed many villagers. The boy defeated the man and in his defeat, the man used a power gained from his eyes and revived the people he had killed.
In a few months time, all of the tailed beasts besides the eight and nine tails were captured.
The seven captured beasts were then fused to form an incomplete ten tails by a madman.
The boy fought this man but he was too powerful. Then the boys friend who had left for power had returned to help.
But they were still no match for him. He had laid waste the land and killed many of the shinobi in this war.
The Fourth Shinobi War.
Only when the boy and his friend were on death's door, did a man visit them.
This man was the eldest son of Kaguya.
He then blessed him with half of his power each.
The boy with the bright power of the Sun.
His friend with the darkness of the Moon.
Before they could fight the man who revived the ten tails, his body started to transform.
Slowly but surely, his body changed until it revealed a horrific sight.
Kaguya had been revived.
The boy and his friend then battled for days against Kaguya. It was a hard fought battle that caused more destruction and chaos.
But the boy and his friend had managed to seal her once and for all.
As the boy seemed to relax, he noticed that his friend was still on edge.
He asked what was wrong and found out his friend wanted to rule the world just like Kaguya.
The boy knew this wouldn't work and saw that his friend was still following the dark path.
So then came the fight between best friends.
This battle was grand and amazing considering the energy spent fighting Kaguya.
The boy holding his blows as he didn't want to harm his friend while his friend had no restraint.
After another long fought battle, the boy was able to win and save his friend from his darkness. But at the cost of their dominant arms.
This was the day that the boy was known as the…
Hero of the Fourth Shinobi War.
And things were peaceful between all villages. The threat of the ten tails had made the world form an alliance to protect themselves. When the war was over, they remained in an alliance as they could live in peace.
But even then, the peace did not last.
There was a man who descended from Kaguya. He lived on the moon.
He believed the people of the world were war driven creatures. Thus, he sent the moon crashing towards Earth.
The Hero of the Fourth went to the moon to stop him. There, he ensued in a battle with this man.
The Hero won the fight but the man was petty.
He had an attack that would blow himself and the moon up that would destroy the world.
Running out of time, the hero did the unthinkable.
He surrounded himself, the man, and the moon in his chakra.
When the man exploded, it was kept in the shield of the Hero's chakra.
The moon was partially destroyed as you see it today.
As for the man, he blew himself to smithereens.
As for the Hero, many believed he perished in the blast.
The only thing found was his headband.
The Hero who saved the world multiple times was gone.
Thus was the end of the boy named…
MAELSTROM!
"And that is the hero who we have been talking about!" Summer said with a smile.
The children were speechless. This boy, no, man was incredible.
"That was a great fairytale Ms. Summer." Winter said. Whitney giggled at her daughter's comment.
"That is no fairytale, Winter. That is the most accurate source we have of the time before us. Our ancestors."
"What?! So that guy was real?!" Yang exclaimed.
"Yes he was." Kali said. She then pointed to a glass frame that was above the painting with the tailed beasts on it.
"That is his headband up there."
They all looked to see a metal piece on black cloth that had a weird symbol in the middle of it.
"Cool…" Blake, Weiss, Winter, and Yang said at the same time.
"Well, I believe it is getting late and I don't want your father getting worried." Summer said. Her fellow mothers shared the same thought.
With their goodbyes, they all went their separate ways.
None of them knowing that their lives would drastically change in the next decade or so.
Afterall,
Maelstrom's are unpredictable.
Hope you all enjoyed!
Now to address some things before the flamers activate.
Naruto is going to OP as stated before. But the plot will still go on.
The story will partially follow canon. Up to a point. The first few chapters will be similar but after that, it will turn. So don't complain if I follow canon for a few chapters.
Yes, he does have Wood Style. The way I see it, Naruto got his replacement arm from cells of Hashirama and him being related to the Senju should give him some form of Wood Style that is better than Tenzo/Yamato. Also, being given chakra from the sage should have awakened that considering Asura and Momoshiki had wood release. Well, Asura had it in the Anime.
As for saving Summer, we had to. It would seem much better and Ruby and Yang could feel the love of a mother longer than they did in canon.
For the pairing, we haven't really decided if it will be a single or multiple.
For certain there will be….
NarutoxWeiss!
Yes! Mostly because she is hardly ever used in pairings now! Also, I feel she is similar to a female Sasuke.
And is it just me, or would Naruto have been better if Sasuke was female and they got together? Seems better that Naruto would chase the love of his life rather than his best friend. Just my opinion, log forbid anyone have those anymore.
Well, that was it and hope you enjoyed!
P.S. I am using the new feature that the app released. Which is publishing from the fanfic app. So hopefully everything goes well.
