Have one ever wondered how god came along and what would happen if he played a larger role in the story? Given the chance to find true peace, Naruto obviously took it. A Literally Godly Naruto Fanfic
"The Tale of Naruto Uzumaki... yes... that has a nice ring to it."
-Jiraiya
One may often wonder how one achieves the position of 'godhood.' What had one done to achieve the exalted position and how much of their life was changed. This was the story about the so-called biblical 'god.' How he came to be and how his deeds changed much of the world that once was.
It was during a terrible war where our story began. Madara Uchiha, a mad megalomaniac had planned to hypnotize the whole world via the power of the tailed beasts and the reflection of the moon. What the crazy long black haired man had not expected was for Naruto's left eye to suddenly turned light purple with its associated ripple patterns, removing all traces of his original azure blue as Kurama, the ninetails was pulled out of him.
"Banshō Ten'in: Dōmetsu," was the first thing Naruto uttered after the appearance of the Rinnegan in his left eye. The force of attraction radiated from his hand was targeted at the chained nine tailed-beasts. The forces of attraction wrestled against the chakra chains binding the nine tailed-beasts causing the nine creatures to let out a screech of pain as their bodies experienced an impromptu tug-o-war. Naruto's will eventually won out as the chains shattered whilst the nine beasts was pulled into Naruto's seal, leaving Naruto panting with the large influx of chakra.
"Obito!" Madara shouted, realizing that Obito had used Kamui to transfer his left Rinnegan to Naruto before Zetsu had taken over his body.
"Insolent brat!" The mad man further shrieked as his required left eye and Chakra source for fueling his large-scale hypnotism was taken by Naruto. In a rush of rage, he dashed at the still panting Naruto, his hands going for the kill. He smiled as he felt the stream of red liquid flowing through his hand, however his smile quickly faded as he realized that the blood flowing through his hand did not belong to Naruto.
Naruto watched wide eyed as Madara's hand thrusted through Sasuke's chest after the black haired boy shoved the blonde out of harm's way before Madara made contact.
"S-Sasuke!" Naruto whimpered, feeling the wetness gathering in his eyes. "W-Why?" The blonde asked, seeing the Déjà vu re-enactment of what had happened on the wave mission when Sasuke took Haku's needles for him.
"Y-y-you're my best friend. I finally realized how wrong I've been and how right you always were. Sorry for everything." The black haired boy gasped as blood made its way out of his mouth. "G-get him, Naruto." Sasuke smiled as the uttered his final words before his eyes lost its light.
"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted, as he futilely ordered his body to move towards the raven-haired boy, not noticing the shadow of black Zetsu that appeared near him. The end seemed near as the abyssal Black Hand made its way closer and closer to the blonde's chest.
Yet again, he was saved as a flash of pink pushed his static body out of harm's way, taking the fatal damage instead.
"S-S-Sakura!" Naruto screamed as black Zetsu's hand slowly drained away Sakura's life.
"Thank you for everything, Naruto." The pink haired girl gave Naruto a soft smile as blood slowly seeped out her lips. "Get him and l-live o-on." She finished as her body became limp and was thrown away by black Zetsu as he pulled his hand out of her chest.
"Sakura!" Naruto howled as the knife called pain tear through his heart. Tears flowed down his bereaved face. Sadness was replaced by anger and hatred towards the man who caused the lost of his loved ones.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" the blonde scream as his body was finally movable.
'Kurama!' he mentally shouted as the nine-tailed fox nodded. The two coalesce the tailed-beast bomb that was shot at Madara, generating a earth-quaking force which smoke splurged out. Yet when the smoke cleared, Madara stood there with the Shinju (ten tails) husk next to him, unharmed.
"Kill me you say?" Madara muttered. "As long as I have this husk, all the chakra you used on me shall be rendered useless! You seem to think that I am out of option, but look around you. What do you see? Chakra! The largest gathering of Chakra in a single place since the existence of the sage! You cannot stop me." Madara spoke as he weaved various hand seals. Black Zetsu who stood next to Madara suddenly slumped down. Naruto eyes widened as he realized what Madara was thinking, he quickly spread his chakra to all the shinobis around to form a protective layer of chakra over their bodies.
"Your efforts are futile." The longhaired Uchiha stated blandly. It sadly seemed true as even with the chakra of the nine beasts, he could feel his strength being sapped away at a rapid rate. His distress was channeled through the mental link, which was felt most clearly by Tsunade.
'Naruto,' the medic spoke through the mental link 'Jiraiya once said that the true measure of a shinobi is not how he lives, but how he dies. I've always thought that the old pervert was overtly senile and naive until I found you. I've lost much through this system and I couldn't bear the thought of losing you. Especially knowing that I would be at fault for preventing you in defeating that Uchiha bastard! Forgive this old granny who came to view you as a son she never have and for being unable to stand being a burden to you. Even if you can't save me, save this world alright?' She ended her speech as she sent her life energy through the link towards Naruto. Her body, without chakra began to dissipate as ashes, floating away with the winds.
"Baa-chan!" Naruto cried, his heart throbbed in pain as he lost another one of his 'precious people.'
'Naruto-kun, I used to always cry and give up... I made many wrong turns... But you... You helped me find the right path... I always chased after you... I wanted to catch up to you... I wanted to walk beside you all the time... I just wanted to be with you... You changed me! Your smile is what saved me! That is why I am not afraid to die protecting you! Because... I love you... Naruto-kun.' With that her energy was transferred to Naruto as her body disintegrate similarly to Tsunade.
"Hinata!" Naruto wailed as tears streamed down his eyes.
'I think of you as a friend. I used to think 'friend' was just another word... Nothing more, nothing less. But when I met you, I realized what was important was the word's meaning. You were the one who taught me to deepen my bond with my people. Thanks to you, I was able to regain my true self. Naruto Uzumaki... Knowing you, you will overcome this disaster and grow even stronger from it." Gaara uttered, his body fragmented into sands that he was always associated with.
"Gaara!"
'Naruto, I may not have been the best father one could have but you surely are the most amazing son any father could want. I'm really proud of you. Live on, son.' Minato ushered as the chakra from his reincarnated body was given to Naruto along with Kurama's yang chakra.
"Dad!"
'This is getting troublesome with everyone speaking too much. It's quite clear that everyone here wouldn't want to become fuel for that hypnotizing jutsu. Lets get this done so I could have my sleep.' Shikamaru yawned, looking lazy even at the end as his body slowly shattered.
"Shikamaru! Stop! Enough! Everyone Stop!" Naruto helplessly cried, as life force after life force came rushing into him till all that remained on the battlefield was Naruto, Madara and the body of the Shinju. His legs lost its strength as he saw the field of dust on the deserted plane.
"Futile." The mad man muttered. "They are not the only source of Chakra for me. If I could not cast the world into eternal slumber then I shall erase everything off it!" He continued to weave more handseals whilst Naruto only stare in shock as he felt the life forces of innocent creatures being drained towards by Madara.
"Sensei always said the forgiveness is the key to peace, but you're someone who I could never forgive!" The blonde roared though the Uchiha merely smirked.
"And what are you going to do about it, boy."
"Naruto!" Kurama cried from inside the seal.
"Kurama?"
"The other tailed-beasts and I have finally thought of a way to defeat that wretched man. All you have to do is go into your sage-tailed beast mode and combine all our chakra with the chakra you receive before using Banshō Ten'in: Dōmetsu,to pull in flask of the Shinju. Obito had already destroyed the Shinju's consciousness so by pulling in the flash and combining it with our chakra, you'll surpass the old man or even the Shinju itself."
"B-But that would kill all of you! I can't lose anyone anymore!"
"Naruto! We've already decided. If you really want to do something for us… then do what you've always done… Prove it to us with your actions! That's who you are!"
"Kurama," Naruto nodded as he strengthened his resolve. A cross sign was formed on both his azure and purple irises as he once again uttered.
"Banshō Ten'in: Dōmetsu," The force of attraction between both side was felt through the land that significantly slumped as Naruto fought Madara over the control of the Shinju's husk.
"You cannot defeat me! I have the chakra of the world!" Madara screamed as he pushed more of his power towards the Shinju maintain it in his grasp!"
"The Chakra you have are all from the unwilling! Someone like you, someone like you should just disappear!" The sudden surge of power allowed Naruto to successfully pull the husk of the Shinju, which immediately merged with his body.
Blinding light accumulated around Naruto's body that even the Uchiha had shut his eyes to stop the blindness. As the light died down, there floated Naruto. Yet instead of horns that grew off Obito's body, there were wings. Ten pairs of shining wings, 2 on his head, 6 on his body and a pair each on his feet. Ten shining orbs of light surrounded his back whilst a halo shone upon his head.
"W-What are you." The lunatic man uttered, shocked by Naruto's change of appearance as well as ever increasing power.
"Your death." Was the answer Naruto gave before he shot a beam of light at the Uchiha, obliterating his left arm.
"Just because you grew wings do not mean that I would be defeated!" The mad man howled as he charged straight at Naruto forming a set of handseals. "Rinbo: Hengoku," The Uchiha shouted and could only stare in amazement as Naruto's body was unaffected the strong amount pressure generated from the jutsu.
"You are unsuitable to wield the eye that could generate life," Naruto murmured as he targeted a force of attraction at Madara's eye, pulling it out of the sockets before coming into his hand. "I shall erase everything about you, Madara." He spoke as the grasped out Madara's other Rinnegan in his left eye before shattering the two eyeballs with his orbs of light. Instead of leaving a hollow socket, an azure orb was formed before a ripple pattern emerged over both of Naruto's azure orbs via the Shinju's power. Madara shrieked in agony seeing his livelong creation shattered but was seemingly ignored by Naruto. Light gathered in his arms as he formed a cell DNA-shaped swirling blade.
"The divine blade of the Sage of Six Paths, Nunoboku. With this blade the sage created the world and with this very blade I shall destroy the one who seek to destroy it!" The blonde shouted as the blade of light was thrown straight at Madara Uchiha, obliterating all traces of the said man from the plane of existence.
A large thump resonated across the deserted plane as Naruto's body slumped down. Pools of tears dripped from his eyes as he tightly clenched his fist whilst the horrid reality slowly sunk in. The absorbed powers of all the tailed beasts greatly enhanced his empathetic senses yet he could not feel a single tingle of life around him. The world truly seemed to be dead.
Naruto sobbed exhaustively, longing for a miracle of some sort to reverse all that had happened. He wished it was a dream, but it wasn't. No miracle intervened to invert the tragedy that had happened.
The cold weather was closing in on him. He felt the chills along his veins yet he was too weak to move, too tired and too grief stricken to care.
'When people are protecting something truly special to them, they truly can become…as strong as they can be.' Was what Haku had once told him, and he had always abided by it. His life became dedicated to protecting his friends, the people who made his life worthwhile. Yet now, all of them were dead. It then occurred to him that he might as well die here.
"Everyone, I'm sorry." Naruto whispered those words as he silently took out a kunai from his pocket.
Caught in a grief too deep for tears he knelt down on the icy terrain and braced the hilt of the dagger between his knees, clasping his hands with the dagger between his wrist, resting them on either side of the blade's edge.
Yet as he pulled both wrists up along the knife-edge, the vision of his friends flashed before him. They were Chiding and smiling at him as if they were telling him to abandon his thoughts and live on.
'Live on.'
It was Sakura's final words for him. Could he simply throw away his life like this? The blonde thought. If he died, nothing would be left of the shinobi civilization. Even if he were alone, his life would serve as a remembrance of the shinobi civilisation.
He would live on, and he would live on and he would live on without regrets!
The following month, Naruto journeyed all across the realm. He found the world to be much larger than he had anticipated. Along his journeys, he took the chance to learn and mastered all the shinobi arts had to offered. It may seem impossible at first glance, yet with the help of the shadow clones and his ascended rinnegan, it became an easy task.
His journey however, was devoid of any traces of life. It seemed that Madara had truly drained all life on earth. It was impossible for him to use Gedō:Rinne Tensei as the jutsu from Madara had turned everything to dust. Narutocontinued to wonder why he continued to live when every one of his precious people had now disappeared, yet images of his friends telling him to 'live' prevented him from going through with the thought of suicide. Though truthfully speaking, he did not know if he could die anymore. He laughed whilst he thought of his suicide attempt last month. Slicing himself to death became a 'no, no' method when one simply regenerate within seconds.
He sat down on the lifeless land, wondering what he should be doing. After all, he finally finished collecting the teachings of the shinobi nations.
"When people get hurt, they learn to hate... when people hurt others, they become hated and racked with guilt. Even I can tell that hatred is spreading. But knowing that pain allows people to be kind. Pain allows people to grow... and how you grow is up to you. I believe ... that someday the day will come when people truly understand one another! If I can't find the answer to how, it will be up to you to do it!"
The teachings of his sensei came to his mind. 'Up to me,' he thought. His sensei had always been on a personal quest to find true peace. Peace where all beings understood one another. 'A derelict state of nothingness clearly could not be the peace ero-sennin had wanted,' Naruto thought as he gathered the light containing both yin and yang chakra onto his hand. He had thought about recreating all of his precious person but he knew that those creations would not be what he had lost and doing so would disregard their sacrifice to at least save the planet. Focusing his power within his hand, he spoke.
"Banbutsu Sōzō." A blast of light erupted in front of him and as it died down, there stood a handsome-looking man with long blonde hair and green eyes. Above his head was a halo of light and behind him were six magnificent golden wings. He looked at Naruto questioningly whilst the shorthaired blonde merely grinned after he finally saw another life form after a month of nothingness.
"From now on you shall be known as Michael. Let us ascend the skies where we may find peace in Heaven."
Hope you enjoy!
Bear with me for a while, the story won't be as depressing as this chapter! I intend for it to be a sub genre of humor but to me this first tragic chapter was needed!
See ya
