In the vastness of space, on the surface of the moon two figures could be seen. Naruto Uzumaki the immortal sage was looking extremely tired and cynical; the events that had started years ago had made his life difficult and made him witness countless death at the hands of the Immortal scum of the Otsutsuki clan.
Today was his 50th birthday and he had decided to finally decide the fate of his world with an experimental technique of extreme power, he had been discouraged by others before for it would take his life but situation has changed and there was no more time left. The Otsutsuki clan was weaker than him and Sasuke alone but they made up with numbers, no matter how many they killed there was no reprieve with forbidden techniques and so much power at their disposal the immortal army were endless, and finally they had gotten him in a surprise move.
He had been cursed and there was no one who got break it, it would lead to his death within a year because of his enormous power otherwise he would have died in a day. He looked towards his world one last before he ended everything but Sasuke who was standing beside him hadn't given up, "Naruto you don't have to do this, we can still fight and we will conquer the curse if you just give it a chance. And you are not even 100% sure it would work."
Naruto turned to face his best friend, who still looked like he was in his late 20's but had mellowed down so much from the passing of time and their grandchildren. His words made him feel hesitance but he held tight as he knew deep within that it was time, this was his fate since he had been born and it was time he took his duty as the Child of prophecy seriously to the end, so that everyone could be free.
He could feel tears in his eyes from the regret that he would never able to see his loved ones again, so let the tears flow one more time for the last time and said in a gentle tone, "It is the only path Sasuke, no matter what you say it will not change the outcome. You know me since we were children do you think it's possible to change my mind. Leave and protect the world I leave behind in your hands, brother."
Sasuke had tears flowing from his eyes and he wanted to stop him but he knew it would only make it worse, so he left without looking back with a heavy heart leaving Naruto to his fate. Naruto had already prepared for this plan and had created barrier to protect the planet, so he flew far away from the moon and started going through the process, "Chaos Degrade". A pulse was released out towards the locations which he had market as enemy territory breaking down to nothing, multiple dimensions collapsed the universes collapsed and finally no threat was left, and no more Uzumaki Naruto.
Naruto had thought he would open his eyes and meet his family in the pure world but reality was different than he expected, as he was standing in line filled with different species walking ahead towards something unknown to him. Tall powerful demons with vicious expression were whipping people left and right, when they complained and proclaimed their statuses some which had him confused.
The line kept on moving and heard the world Netherworld Kingdom multiple times, so he assumed that was the name of the place where he had landed. He had tried to use his power but it didn't work and he was firmly assured that he was just a soul, as he moved with the line he was suddenly felt himself phase through dimensions and found himself in a quiet study. The place was simple; it had a bookshelf and table where a man of middle age in blue robes was sitting, flipping through a book.
Naruto was disoriented from the experience as it wasn't anything new except that it had been long time since someone forced him through such methods. As he felt no danger and the man looked occupied, Naruto looked around and his gaze became transfixed on to a painting of a woman. The painting had some special charm to it that he lost himself within it and could feel some positive reactions within his soul.
The blue robed man raised his head and glanced at him, and had the face that just meant he expected this from Naruto. The painting could not be people with low level of perception, as he had already seen what he needed the man shouted quietly, "Wake up".
The world that Naruto had lost himself to shattered and he was back in reality where he noticed the man observing him. They both observed each other and the man started, "You are in the Fengdu city of the Ghost world and I am the Palace lord Cui. You might be wondering why I might have summoned you here and that would be a right question as most of the people from your world go to the pure world but you are special and have passed a limit of power that was on your world and done good deed with pure intention throughout your existence without asking for anything in return. Your story is remarkable and has proved you worthy of a reward; therefore I will let you decide the conditions of your reincarnation."
Naruto noticed that the books name was Book of Life and Death, realizing why this unknown being knew so much about him and felt flattered that such a powerful being praised and acknowledged his efforts. The option was very attractive and he would have liked to return back home but he received the answer to that telepathically that you could live once in the same world. So he though for several minutes and decided that he wanted to live freely this time and not be constrained, so he replied, "I want to keep my memories as without those it would be impossible to see the difference and as for what kind of being and world, I leave that to fate."
Lord Cui looked at him in surprise as he had expected him to ask for details but this kind of style did agree with the child, so he understood and decided to keep the option of species to holy beings which resonate with Naruto's personality and told him some of the details of the worlds that he could find himself. As a final gift he told Naruto to look at the painting carefully and explained why it was important, "The person on this painting is the most holy and most compassionate primordial immortal, Miss Nuwa."
The face of Lord Cui turned solemn. "Ever since Pangu died after creating the universe, only she, Miss Nuwa, has reached Pangu's level. Miss Nuwa is capable of destroying the universe, but also capable of healing it. She has understood 84,000 truths, and without question, she is the most invincible, powerful presence in the Three Realms."
Naruto was shocked at the power scale of this one woman, who was capable of destroying trillion minor worlds or the higher three realms which he could not fathom the size of. He stopped himself from losing his focus and returned to concentrating what Cui said.
"This painting is used for the visualization technique, but there's no way you can see the secrets hidden within it." Lord Cui laughed. "Let me teach you a bit of the visualization technique and fulfill the karmic bonds that brought us together."
Naruto bowed his head, "Thank you Lord Cui".
"No need to thank me. It is nothing more than a visualization technique. It isn't some sort of secret training method, or a magical technique of the Immortals or the Devils." Lord Cui pointed a single finger at Naruto's forehead and suddenly within his mind the enormous figure Nuwa appeared but he kept his focus and gave his goodbye to Lord Cui as he disappeared from the Ghost world.
Within the vast expense of the Grand Xia world in a forest within the Still water Commandery, a being was being born through nature itself. Energy of the heaven and earth gathered creating the being which slowly took shape, a beast like being with purple fur on most of its body. It had two large legs and two arms each of which has three claws, as well as a large vulpine tail. The fur on its chest, paws, snout and the end of its tail was white. It had two pointed ears with black stripes and two very small wings, on its brow a triangular red gem that held power that Naruto had requested.
