It's been a while since I've uploaded anything. Part of it is due to finding a new job, schoolwork, laziness, and writer's block in that order. As for my other story its on hiatus indefinitely but i may post up a general view of what would have happened later on. At the end of this chapter will be my views on how this story may progress and some ideas. They may or may not happen but opinions would be helpful.

I do not own Naruto or Campione.

The world has changed drastically from what it once was. While remnants of a past era exist, almost all knowledge of that era has been forgotten. There were two reasons for such change:1. heretic gods rampaging and changing the face of the planet 2. Campione or the lack thereof to combat the gods

Now in this new era, the first campione to be born in several millennia begins his journey.

He was dying, that much he knew to be true. His strength leaving him, his vision fading, his body growing cold, Uzumaki Naruto knew for a fact that, at barely 6 years old, he was dying. The cold steel going through his heart and out his back drove home the point that there was no way he could survive.

But what choice did he have? His attacker wasn't someone he could hope to survive against. Strength, speed, experience, skill…. his opponent was superior to him in everyway. He doubted the old man in the hat could beat this guy. Even if he died now, at least he could die knowing that he didn't lose, that he wasn't going down by himself. He looked down at the where the same wound was inflicted on his opponent.

"Hehehehe…..to think that I wouldst be slain in such a manner. Struck down by mine own weapon. Others have tried…..but thou, a mere child, succeeded when countless others failed pitifully", replied the old man who attacked him. "I knew this is how I would fall but for it to still occur…truly thine kind all deserve the title of "outrageous existences."

"…why? Why did…you attack me?...I thought…..we were friends?", Naruto replied while progressively breathing harder.

At this point, the old man's body started fading into specks of light. "Thou wouldst not understand now child…but when you awaken, all shall be answered! Grow strong child, so that one day we may clash as equals! Hahahaha", said the old man with a laugh as he fully faded.

With the man and the weapon gone, nothing was left to hold Naruto up as he fell to the ground. With the last of his consciousness, he thought to himself 'So this is how it ends…."

...

A voice could be heard, "For one so young to succeed….never has such an event occurred but no matter I accept all of my children."

"Who are you?"

"Me? I am the all-knowing woman but you may call me mama"

"Mama?...you'll really be my mama?"

"Poor child….never know a parent's love, you must have been lonely right? But don't worry by the secret ritual created by my husband and me, I claim you as my child- the Campione of a new era and the youngest of all to become my child."

And with those final words, Naruto returned to the darkness.

I'll be honest, first chapter could be better and i might redo it but it helps set up where i'm going with this. For those wondering, Naruto is about 6 and i'm making it so that academy starts at 5 and the rookies graduate when they are 13. So he'll have about 7yrs experience as a campione.

By the start of the next chapter (when hes 13) he'll have slain ~10 gods and gained at least that many authorities. Now some may think that's a bit too much but from what if we look at the king of swords, he's been a campione for 4yrs and has 4 authorities and thats while the other campione are fighting and killing gods as well. Naruto is the only campione so there will be "more for him" so to speak.

Also most of the gods he will slay are those with steel,war, or hunting aspects as they will leave their myths to wither challenge, slay or hunt the new devil king.

While some of the authorities i have in mind are already decided, ideas about deities and possible authorities are welcome and i may use them instead of some of my own. The god hes slain in this chapter is a given but try and guess what god it is(hint Naruto gained two authorities one in the form of an eye and the other in the form of a spear)

Also should Naruto have a divine ancestor or fallen goddess as a companion?
