The Voice From Beyond
Prologue: I Am Your Mother
Konohagakure is one of the great five villages in the shinobi world. It was famously known for being the strongest village while being peaceful. The hokage, the leader of konoha, is the strongest so he leads and makes decisions on things. In total there have been 4 that have been made leaders, but at the moment the 3rd hokage is the leader. The reason the 3rd is leading instead is because of an event the occurred 7 years ago.
Flashback 7 years ago (Summarized)
The 4th hokage, Minato Yagami, and his wife who's in labour, Naori Uchiha, were in a secured location so their child was to be born in secret because of the enemies they have because of the 3rd shinobi war. Things went smoothly until Naori started bleeding a lot and was forced to cut her stomach to save her child. This eventually lead to her death after spending a few minutes with her child.
Minato, who was devastated by his wife's death, was later told that Iwagakure forces were attacking and was forced to fight alongside Konoha shinobi. He was later killed in action because of his unfocused mind while taking majority of the Iwa shinobi with him to the grave.
Later his son, who was named Naruto, was placed in the orphanage to keep him safe from Iwa shinobi. As the years went by Naruto was always curious about his parents and tried to see which clan or civilian family he resembled, but he didn't find any resemblance to any one. So he asked the old man that visits him, even though he never knew why he was the only one visited out of all the orphans by the old man, if he knew his parents or not. But like always anything that leads to his parents is a deadend.
Flashback ends
Even though Naruto had a lonely life, thanks to not having any types of bonds with anyone, he always was a respectful and hardworking child. To his knowledge he always been Naruto Yasakani. When he was 6 he was 3 feet 11 inches tall, wore black ninja sandels, black shorts and black high collared shirt. He's slightly tanned with onyx black eyes and blood red hair, which is really short on the sides and long at the top and falling forward covering his left eye(Iori Yagami's hairstyle).
Ever since he could remember he could control fire that he could make by himself, only he and the third knew, but that all changed when he turned 6 eleven months ago. He play with the flames in his room when all of a sudden, he got a really painful headache and the flame turned from orange to blue to deep violet colour. This only lasted a minute before everything went back to normal, but the after effects knocked him unconscious.
Mindscape
Naruto woke up in a desert at night, or so he thought. What he thought was a desert was in reality the moon. He got up from his sleeping position and started looking around until he heard a voice that was melodic, yet commanding. Turning towards the voice he saw a beautiful pale woman who was wearing a white kimono, long white hair that almost reached the ground, long nails that were deep indigo, short and thin eyebrows, pearl pupil less eyes and a slit on her forhead.
Before he could observe this mysterious woman she spoke, "Hello, my dear child."
"Who are you, I know I have no mother and besides we look nothing alike!" Naruto spoke only to scream at the end not liking to be deceived.
"Yes you are quite right that we look nothing alike, but that is because you look like your father." the royal looking woman replied.
"And how would you..."
"I know, because that is simple, I am your mother. Now do you want me to tell you about your family?" the woman finishes after interrupting Naruto.
After giving it some thought he decided to listen to what she said and sat down while looking at. The woman took this as her que to start, "You asked who I was, well let me tell you. My name is Kaguya Otsutsuki."
"It started when I was a young woman and met a man named Orochi. Despite knowing his name was the same as the monster I heard was terrorizing the land I still fell in love with him. After a while I discovered I was going to be a mother and I went to tell Orochi that I was going have his children, only to find out the truth. I found him transforming into an eight headed snake with his six followers, who I thought were his friends at the time, chanting in some foreign language." pausing to see Naruto's expression about the news, she found him still listening and not scared like he supposed to taking his age in to consideration.
"After observing this ritual and Orochi's transformation, I decided to run and never look back. As I was running I heard multiple foot steps behind me rapidly catching up to me, so I knew the only way to escape my pursuers was by entering a forest and losing them there, than letting them spot in the open. Entering the forest on the side of the road, I lost my pursuers and found a strange looking tree with one fruit. Deciding that I was to hungry and thirsty to care if it was edible, I climbed and got the fruit. Just as I was about to eat the fruit I saw Orochi approaching me with a smirk on his face. Before I could react he said: "When you came to see me you were coming to tell me something, but you saw me become what I am and ran away because of fear. The thing you were going to tell was that you about to give birth and your fear was to protect the children growing in your womb."
"All I could do was nod and listen as he told me that the only way to protect my children was to gain power that could face anyone, including him. I asked how I could do that and he told me that the fruit I was holding was a forbidden fruit, full of power. Since I loved him I trusted him and ate all of it and when I done my body changed to the way you see me now but I also had two bones coming out at the top of my head to look like horns." Kaguya stops seeing that Naruto had a question.
"What happened to your horns then?" Naruto asked.
"They disappeared when I lost my powers, but that is a story for another time. Anyway when I was done developing Orochi told his followers to attack me with intent to kill."
Flashback (Genjutsu)
Orochi marvelled at Kaguya's power, even though he could feel it was not at his level by a lot. "Would you look at that, Kaguya really deserves to be called Orochi's mate. Wouldn't you think so too?" Orochi asked his followers who answered with a 'Yes, my Lord'. "But to see if she is worthy of protecting my offspring is yet to be seen. Shermie, Yashiro, Chris, Vice, Mature and Geonits attack her with intent to kill. I shall observe to see if she is a worthy mother for my offspring."
All six nodded and dashed forward to kill Kaguya, not even a single moment of hesitation. Kaguya, seeing her lover send his followers to kill her, gets angry and her eyes harden and narrow on her attackers. Unbeknownst to her veins appear around her eyes and her skin on her arms moving and bones sprouts out.
Mature, who was gifted strength and strong Sharp nails by Orochi, reached first to slice the bones off of Kaguya's hand, only to be shocked that the bones not only deflected the attack away but also stayed unharmed.
Vice, who was given strength and flexibility, sees this and takes a different route and strikes Kaguya by her face. Kaguya's mind goes on over drive as she unconsciously pushes chakra, which she didn't know what was, to her feet to jump back and avoid the punch.
Chris, who received agility and speed, sees this puts his speed to use and moves to where Kaguya was going to land. Jumping slightly with leg positioned to kick Kaguya in her midsection, Kaguya who sees the danger towards her unborn children raises her leg to block Chris' leg and grabs it with her hands and throws him towards the oncoming Mature.
Yashiro, who got strength and fast reflexes, grabs Shermie, who was given flexibility and agility, and throws her straight to the now landed Kaguya. Kaguya ducks under Shermie's punch and retracted her bones while dashing for Yashiro. Kaguya's dash was stopped when she saw Shermie flip in the air and land on a tree with her feet and spring board's with another punch aimed at Kaguya. Kaguya sees that both Yashiro and Shermie would reach her at same time decides to catch their punches. As she was about to push the two she caught away from herself she sees Chris,Vice and Mature coming. Thinking quickly she grips harder on Shermie and Yashiro and spins to throw them at the three coming towards her.
Geonits, who was gifted battle knowledge and the leader of Orochi's followers, took out a katana made by Orochi himself, Kusanagi sword. The Kusanagi said to cut whatever it went against, even iron itself. Geonits attacked Kaguya, holding his sword in a reverse grip, with a purpose to slice through her neck. Kaguya seeing this unconsciously summons a bone from her shoulder, rips it and blocks Geonits' strike. Orochi and all his followers are shocked at Kaguya's bone strength to block the Kusanagi and remain with only a scratch.
Kaguya sees Geonits' focus is of her quickly deflects his blade and twists around, her bone going for the kill. Time seems to slow down with Kaguya's bone slicing through Geonits' neck, when Kaguya realised what happened looked to Orochi and spoke, "I'm sorry for your follower's death Orochi, but my children come first. Whether one be my foe, friend or even you."
Orochi having an amused and impressed look on his face, waved her off while saying, "You did cut of his head yes, but his not dead. You have truly impressed me with your display of skills. If I didn't know better I'd say you were hiding your strength from me. I don't know if you know, but your not showing your full power or have not been pushed to the limit yet." Kaguya not really paying attention to Orochi looked at the now walking, albeit with difficulty, with shock written on her face. She was brought back to reality when she sensed a power increase.
Kaguya sees this power increase come from the other five she defended and observes them carefully.
Chris changed his stance, slanting a little back and wind picks up around him making his shirt and hair move uncontrollably. Blue flames come out, everytime he unclenched his fists, from his hands.
Shermie's body becomes straight and her personality changes from her usual bubbliness to serious. Her clothes occasionally got electricity dancing around them.
Yashiro's body bulked a bit and his stance changed from his bouncy steps and fists on guard to his legs fixed on the ground and hands straight, moving over the other slowly.
Mature's body was surrounded by light blue glow and the air got so cold that you could see light blue mist around her.
Vice's on the other hand remained the same, or that's what Kaguya was thinking. If you got close to Vice you could feel the air was practically boiling and the ground was rumbling.
Orochi just smirked seeing Kaguya's unbelieving expression and said, "Kaguya, my dear, you can feel their power increasing and you know that they won't be caught off guard like before. You have two choices right now and that is to give up and admit that I am the one who is supposed to protect our family or stop hiding your power."
"The day I die will be the day I let my children be influenced by your evil. I will fight to my last breath, if I have to." Kaguya declared.
"Very well then, but let me give you a heads up. I gave Chris blue flames, Shermie lightning, Yashiro resistance to fire,lava and ice. Vice got lava, Mature got ice and Geonits got wind. But you won't have to worry about Geonits."Orochi informed Kaguya.
Kaguya braced herself, because as soon as Orochi said Geonits the others dashed for her. Chris being faster attacked first with an uppercut with his blue flames trailing his hand. Kaguya side stepped Chris and sent a chakra enforced palm, which not only pushed Chris but made him cough out blood.
Shermie seeing Chris condition, becomes enraged and jumps and twists with her legs directed at Kaguya, fused with lightning. Kaguya sees this and jumps back then ducks down to avoid two horizontal slashes of lightning from Shermie, who threw them after landing. Kaguya seeing an opening takes a chance by sending another chakra enforced palm to Shermie's stomach.
Vice moves to the side while Shermie flies by to be caught by a recovered Chris. Vice who's momentum was disturbed by Shermie takes a different approach, placing her hands on the ground and concentrates a lot.
Kaguya feels the ground rumble and jumps back just as lava shoots out the ground. As she was about to take a breather the ground rumbles again and she jumps back again only to land on rumbling ground again. This goes on three more times as Kaguya sees Vice tired and heavily panting and decides to throw a bone at Vice, who didn't have time or strength to dodge as the bone went through her heart.
"One down, four more to go." Kaguya stated glancing at Orochi, who sent Geonits to collect Vice's recovering body.
Kaguya suddenly felt a powerful kick, that she knew should have broken her jaw, and was sent flying straight into a lake. Mature seeing the opening that Yashiro gave them with the kick quickly starts freezing the water.
Orochi who sees this gets conflicted, one hand his happy that his followers are obedient and on the other hand he is concerned for Kaguya. His conflicting emotions don't last long as the water evaporates thanks to black flames that were surrounding Kaguya.
Kaguya starts levitating as the flames burn out, but Kaguya flying wasn't the most fascinating thing. On her forehead there was a third eye that was red all over the eye, had three black rings in ripple like pattern with a small black pupil and nine black tomoe, three on each ring.
Orochi sensing the power rapidly increasing, signals his followers to fall back. Stepping forward Orochi starts talking, "Kaguya you've proven your point, you can protect our children. Stop channelling your power and calm down."
"Calm down, let go of my power, our children. You really have a vile spirit." Kaguya stated in a surprisinly calm, melodic yet attention demanding voice.
"I told you that I'm not a good man the day I met you, so don't make it sound like you are surprised that I'm not exactly a caring man. But I do care in my own special way." Orochi replied using his wind powers to fly to Kaguya and hug her.
Flashback end (Genjutsu end)
"... and so I forgave Orochi and nine months later I gave birth to three children: Hagaromo, Hamura and Naruto." Naruto was surprised to know all of this so he asked Kaguya.
"If this were true than why am I in the, from what I can see, future. And why don't I share any features like you?" Naruto asked.
"Yes it is true and the reason you in the future is because your time came before you could have your issues resolved with your father and brothers. So your chakra and soul lingered on the impure world waiting for a body from one of your descendnets that could handle your power and that's how your here. The reason you don't share the same features as me is because you took after your father in every way. You have his red hair, his temper, his tolerance towards foolish things or people and late blooming potential that when it blooms it is to powerful for your own good." Kaguya said, having a loving look that Naruto found familiar.
Naruto, believing Kaguya, asks, "I discovered that I could play with ordinary flames when I was five, but today when I was playing with them they turned normal orange to blue, like that guy you were fighting, then to deep violet. After turning violet I got a headache for a minute then the flames went back to normal. What is happening to me?"
Kaguya looks shocked for a while, but then a proud expression takes over. Giving Naruto a hug she says, "Your old self is joining with your new self." letting go of the hug she looks into Naruto's eyes and continues, "When it happens again carry on playing with your flames until the headache stops ok."
"Ok, I'll try... Mother." Naruto declares with determination written all over his face.
