Cosmic Mirror ch 1
"Uhhhh this is so boring," said a man that look like he was in his teens wearing an orange long sleeve t-shirt, a pair of loose black pants (naruto's pants from Shippuden but black), and blue ninja sandals. He has pale skin, blue eyes and is orange hair
"Well maybe you shouldn't of touch the magical mirror wild fire and what is with the new clothes it feels weird" replayed a man in his twenties wearing a white sweatshirt with red flames at the bottom, dark blue gi pants, and black combat boots. He has tan skin green eyes, dark blue hair.
"Well how on earth was i supposed to know that it look like a regular mirror and beside I didn't mean to I trip hussbek but hey we are gods now seriously I bet if I snap my fingers I could bring the rookie 9 and everyone else, hmm you know what I well see if I can do that"
"Wait don't *snap* it" just then the rookie 9, Sasuke, team guy, Jiraiya, Tsunade, the jounin, konohamaru corps
"Naruto this better not be one of your pranks or so help me you well be wishing you didn't "Sakura said with a tick mark
"Sakura you do know if I did, I would not be with you right now for reasons like that, also where will the fun in putting us in a room that is pretty much a white void that is entity beside all of us and those two guys over there" Naruto said looking around noticing Wild Fire and Hussbek but mainly staring at Wild fire because his shirt is something to give him respect and to be jealous about in his eyes
"yeah that was not him it was me names wild fire777 but you can just call my wild," he said getting everyone attention that he didn't already have
"okay then why did you bring us here," Tsunade ask with a scowl
"I was bored being a god and all that so I was like what if I let you all see the Naruto-verse"
"Wait you are a god and the Naruto-verse" she ask with a raised brow
"Yeah hussbek and I are gods, since me and him got sent into a magic mirror that made us gods of this realm but I think it's only in this realm though, oh I almost forgot to tell your verse is pretty much on pause cause Naruto is here and not there that is because…. Well when I finish explaining what the Naruto-verse is you'll know" he said with everyone just now noticing with Naruto and Sakura remembering him
"Okay but can you just please tell us what the Naruto-verse is" Ino asked nicely with some curiosity
"okay here go quick heads up you might what to sit down first, the Naruto-verse is the part of the multiverse that Naruto is the center of it and no there is no Sasuke-verse that guy is pretty much a fucking bitch in most of the Naruto-verse so why would there be a Sasuke-verse " he said answering the question Ino and sakura were thinking
"Now let's see the Naruto-verse before I die of boredom already" Naruto said with excitement
"He gets it, oh by the way we can only watch in verse at a time, now which one oh I got it " wild said pulling up a panel with a cube in the center covering most of it, he then put his hand on it causing a screen and three coaches to pop up "now sit down and watch the show" and with that they started watching
Naruto Uzumaki felt his conscious returned to himself as his eyes snapped opened while looking around
"what in the..." Naruto muttered to himself confusedly while turning his head rapidly to look at the throne room infront of him. It was massive and never in his mind would think the after-life was a fancy castle like this
"Wait what his dead! How" said Jiraiya shock while pausing the show at the same time
"maybe if you watch a little longer Jiraiya because it's about to say how or something like that" Hussbek said like it was not that big of a deal "and beside this is a different Naruto remember" he finish then unpausing the entertainment
Naruto Uzumaki, The Nanaidaime Hokage of the village hidden the leaf, Konoha had passed away after ninety years of being the leader of his village. Naruto himself couldn't believe that that he could live that long and stayed so young, even when he was old… in one way or another, his appearance still stayed the same
"YES I am the Hokage, for ninety years too" Naruto yells in joy "I feel so happy I could just kiss Hinata" he then looks over to Hinata to see that she fainted with a happy smile on her face.
"Well now that is over, and that we know that this Naruto died of old age ,but I what to know is how his appearance don't really change after he turns 22 or something how it that possible, does he not age or something like that. I. Need. To. Know" Tsunade ask/demanded with every other Kunoichi but Hinata because she is still unconscious (you know why)
"Most likely because he is an Uzumaki stuff like that is normal for them" Wild said with Hussbek agree/confirming
He had a great life, now he could rest in peace in the afterlife leaving everything to Bolt and Himawari, Naruto had taken his departure at the age of one hundred and ten years old
"Wait who is Bolt and Himawari, and wow that's a long life" Kiba ask in confusion
"Bolt and Himawari are Naruto kids" Wild said shocking everyone
"Wait, if this is the afterlife then" Naruto taken a deep breath before roaring with all his might "HINATA! OI WHERE ARE YOU HINATA" the blonde roared with all his might
Screwed that, he screamed her name like he never screamed before.
"I'm here Hinata" he had made a promise with her that he would come to find her when his time came. Hinata had gone before him nine years, but he heard that time passed different in the afterlife, so maybe she just came here a second ago and he would find her.
He would find her no matter what, nine years without Hinata was something Naruto would never want to endure again
"I will find you" Naruto grinned before beginning to run, she definitely around here.
"The way he is talking it seems they are marred" Shino said without emotion like he all ways does
"Because they are" Hussbek said shocking everyone again
"You won't find her here Naruto Uzumaki" Naruto stopped dead on his track when he heard that familiar voice
Slowly turning around, the blonde widened his eyes when he saw the floating old man with that staff behind him, with horns and all.
"WAHH! Alien-oji san" Naruto pointed his finger to the old man with a freak out face
"Good to see you again gaki" Hagoromo Otsutsuki said with a small smirk.
"How does Naruto know the sage of six paths" Shikamaru said without laziness for once
"We can't say because that would be going ageist kami" Hussbek said confusing them
"He means that if we told you we would be going against a law she made" Wild said getting a 'ohh' from them
"So this is really the afterlife" Naruto then blinked once when he remembered what the Rikudo Sennin had said "wait, what do you mean I won't find Hinata here?" it couldn't be possible right? This was the afterlife
"Because she taken the next step, and reincarnate…"
"What?" Naruto felt like his world had been shattered right in front him and fell to his knee with eyes wide in shock "Sh…she already move on"
"Yes" the hermit said "you must understand that it was a hard choice for her, but she wanted to be with you forever and taken the next step was the only way she got"
"What do you mean by that?" Naruto asked in confusion while stepping up. He might be an idiot, as Sasuke always said when they had some short reunion with each other, but he could see from the way the hermit said, there might be a reason behind
"Follow me" Hagoromo said before turning around and flew away slowly
"Yeah right" Naruto put his hands into his pocket and began to walk alongside with the hermit of six paths. When they reached the outside of the castle, Naruto looked around and saw it was a wide area that filled with glass and plants alike "What is this place anyway?" it didn't match anything he had heard about, this place was supposed to be filled with dead souls like him, maybe some angels.
"This is the afterlife" Naruto glared at the hermit because he just said the oblivious "However, this place is for those who had done so many great things in their life, someone like you the child of Prophecy"
"Wait, what is the Child of Prophecy" Sasuke ask with interest making Ino and Sakura eyes turn into hearts
"All we can say is that the child of prophecy will save the world or destroy it" Hussbek informed making everyone stare at Naruto
"What about Sasuke? Or Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked
"They came to the different place, though I'm not so sure about your best friend" The sage of the six paths shook his head.
"He probably there with Sakura-chan" Naruto grinned making the hermit to look at him "I'm sure of it" Naruto said with a firm tone. His best friend, Sasuke definitely there with Sakura and their friends.
"What about Hinata?" Naruto asked.
"She was here… and she had reincarnated into Hinata Hyuuga"
"Excuse me?" Naruto asked, dumbfounded. Now the hermit began to talk the confuse things again.
"Naruto Uzumaki, Kami-sama sent me here to tell you that you have been given a second chance" the hermit said with a small smile on his lips, if anyone deserved a
better life, it was Naruto. He had been watching the boy here since their last encounter and couldn't help but agree with the creator of the world.
"Hehe, can you say it again?" Naruto said, grinning with his hand rubbing each other.
"Got that right" Naruto said making everyone face palm and Hinata waking up but no one notice
If the hermit knew how to face palm, he sure would. This boy sure reminded him too much about how Ashura had been.
"Like I said, you're given a second chance, of being Naruto Uzumaki once again" Naruto widened his eyes in shock at that. It couldn't be possible right? He knew about reincarnated, but never knew there was a way to reincarnate into themselves again.
"Wait, into myself?" Naruto asked "what does it mean?"
"You will once again reborn at Naruto Uzumaki, but not just as Naruto Uzumaki but Naruto Namikaze" the blond dropped his mouth to the ground in shock "You will be reincarnated into a different world, a parallel world. Different from your world yet at the same time will remain the same"
"What whaaaaa, not fare also I thought we can only watch one world at a time" Kiba said a little jealous. While the adults where worried that Naruto would find out who his parents are while trying to figure out how he hasn't already
"No I said we can only watch one verse at a time, and some verse have more than one world in it" Wild
"However, there are some possibility that may happen there" the hermit pointed his hand toward the sky, making a large image appeared in front of him.
It was the image of his mother and father and they were…
"Three babies?" Naruto cried out in shock. Yes, his father was holding a small child, definitely a boy with whisker mark, red hair while his mother was holding a twin definitely girls, they also had red hair just like their mother "Are you kidding me?"
"They're your…no Naruto Namikaze's sister, the left one is his older while the right one are younger. They are triplet in one way"
Naruto swallowed hard, he was surprised, really surprised. He always wondered what it felt like to have younger or older siblings.
But there were another possibility that, his parent was alive as well. If they could take a picture with their children with a happy smile like that, which mean Obito never attacked Konoha in the first place, or he had, but his father managed to stop him as well as Kurama.
"Who is Kurama" Naruto ask forgetting what just happen
"Kurama is the name of the Kyuubi, all the tailed beast have names I mean Kyuubi is a title" Wild said shocking them once again while making them feel bad that they never realized that it was a title that they gave the nine tailed beast
"You will be reincarnate into that boy, Naruto Namikaze"
"Wait, time out" Naruto suddenly said, pointing at the young boy "I can't take away his life like that, he have his parent, siblings... I envy him yes, but that is it. I can't take away the life he's living no matter what"
"Man the gaki is way too nice"Anko said a little annoyed
"Some are some aren't" Wild said with a shrug making everyone realize that not all the Naruto in the Naruto-verse are nice
"He's going to die" Naruto stopped and looked at the hermit with wide eyes "at the age of ten under Mizuki's hand"
"Wh-what?" Naruto spluttered "it can be happened, what about Iruka-sensei"
"He wasn't there that day" the hermit shook his head "someone else found you"
"What about my father, surely he will…" his father was the fastest and one of the most powerful shinobi when he was still alive right?
"He didn't make it in time" the hermit did the same "he and your mother killed Mizuki out of rage"
"Well that's unexpected change of events" Asuma said with everyone agreed to it
Then there were only silence, Naruto was too shock to handle such information. He wasn't that boy, but he felt bad for him.
"His soul is living his body, and your soul will be the one who replace it" The sage said "you will have the second chance in your life a more happy life, as well as the chance of saving the people you cared about, maybe you can stop some events from happen as well" The sage said seriously "aim with your knowledge, as well as power, you can save more than just the life of your friends, but also once again save the Shinobi world from its doom sooner than ever"
Naruto stood wide eyes at the statement the hermit just told him. He could save everyone this time. Neji, Pervy-sage or even Obito and Nagato as well… he could save everyone.
"Wait something to me and Neji" Jiraiya yelled worriedly
"Again can't say or trouble for us" Hussbek said pointing to him and Wild
A smile slowly spread out on Naruto's face, he could also save Sasuke as well, he could stop his best friend from leaving Konoha to find power. Sakura might never have to suffer the pain of losing him for many years again.
"Like I would do that" replied Sasuke to what it said about him
"Yes you would" Naruto shot back
"Not"
"Would"
"NOT"
"WOULD" then the two starting each other
And Hinata, if what the hermit said about her was true, then that mean she had become Hinata Hyuuga of that world. He will be able to make up for her the time she secretly supported him when he was small. He was an ass from bad then for not able to see her feeling, but not now.
Hinata now was worried that Naruto knew about her crush on him, she look back and sighed they were fighting witch she was happy about for once
"Of course, the decision is…"
"I will" Naruto said firmly with a small smile "I will become Naruto Namikaze, and save Elemental Nation once again"
"I'm sure you will gaki" The sage smiled and beside him, a gate emerge from the ground and slowly opened "Before you go Naruto, I must tell you this. The more you interfere in this world, the more it will change. If it changed too much, even you won't be able to know what happen next and there were the possibility that you will lose someone if you are careless"
"Wait when did I save the world" Naruto ask/demand Wild
"Stop asking questions we can't answer sheesh" Wild whined a little annoyed he can answer their questions
"And unlike you, Hinata Hyuuga doesn't have the memories of her past life"
"She's still the same?"
"She's still the same" The hermit repeated, but this time it wasn't a question.
"Alright" The blond grinned.
"Take this" The hermit handed Naruto his staff, making the blond eyes turned wide in shock "when the time come, Sasuke Uchiha will receive the other half of
"Wh-"
"Don't finish that sentence or so help me I will strangle you" Wild said making them afraid to say something
my power as well. You two will fight side by side once again and hopefully this time, it won't be my mother"
"Thank you Oji-san" Naruto smiled and took the staff "What about Kurama?"
"I know you will ask" Hagoromo smirked mysteriously "you will know when you come there" Naruto nodded before stepping in front of the opening gate
"What about my family? Do they love him and his sister?" Naruto's eyes widened slightly when the hermit looked down sadly.
"Your sister yes, because they inherited you father talent…but Naruto Namikaze…"
"I understand" Naruto grinned broadly.
"This Naruto, won't be just your second chance but also their second chance as well, to redeem themselves" the hermit said.
"I said I understand already Oji-san"
"As impatient as always" the sage released a sigh "don't appear that you knew everything, you're dumb so act like one"
"Alright alright geez" Naruto winced "You're so hard Oji-san"
"Now there one more thing before you go" Naruto turned around when he was about to step inside the gate.
"What's it?"
"Don't cut your hair, it made you look ridiculous"
"Well…"
And the blond stepped inside the gate, ready to redo everything again.
And this time, he wouldn't let any of his friends, or anyone die. Not on his watch.
Real world, an hour ago.
"What the, oh yeah forgot it does that" Wild said while bonking his head playfully while Hussbek shook his head with a smile on his face
"Wh-what i-i-is th-th-that" Kiba ask really scared
"Finely something I can answer, well this pretty much says where they are at and how long before the preset Kiba" Wild informed while Kiba is doing a happy dance with Akamaru
"With this, Tou-sama will have to acknowledge me"
Naruto Namikaze smirked when he jumped from tree to tree, getting away from Hokage Residence as far as possible. His back was carrying the giant Scroll of Sealing, which he just stole right under his father's nose by transforming into a naked version of his mother, knocking the man out immediately with a massive nosebleed.
Serve his right, Naruto thought to himself.
"Wait who are my parents" Naruto demanded anyone that knew
"You'll know soon Naruto" Hussbek said with a smirk
He loved his family dearly, but the way they all focused their attention to Naruko and Minami had gotten to his nerve since the day they was young. They were geniuses yes, but if at least his father and mother could teach him a jutsu or two, or even how to fight, he wouldn't fail the exam three times and now had to do the special test to get his head protector.
A sad smile crossed the only son of Namikaze, it just that he didn't understand why he still loved them, after they hadn't been there for him most of his life.
His older sister, Minami was a total bitch to him, she made all the prank and then told everyone he did that. When he wanted to eat ramen, she chose dango and their parent always listen to his sister, not him.
At the same time, Naruko, Minami twin and his younger sister completely ignored him, and looked at him like he didn't exist at all.
His father always busy and barely home, but every time he was home, he always said how proud he was to have two genius and talent students and trained them with the most powerful techniques Namikaze Clan got.
His mother…he didn't know what to say anymore, like Naruko, she ignored him. When she actually paid attention to him, it was always the scolding from all the pranks Minami famed on him.
He was their son, yet the same time wasn't.
Minato had no idea how Naruto wished to hear those words from his father.
Today was his birthday, while everyone celebrating Minami and Naruko's birthday, he had to come here to do the test Mizuki-sensei had given him or else he wouldn't be made a genin of Konoha.
"Man his life sucks, Naruto is the norm for you" Ino ask with a frown
"Pretty much but with the civilians" Naruto said making everyone feel bad cause how they treated them
Naruto stopped at a wide clearing and sat down, unsealed the scroll and read.
"Kage…Bushin no Jutsu?" the young boy read "sound interesting, maybe I should…"
But before the red haired boy could begin to learn the jutsu, a kunai stabbed itself down to the ground in front of him, where his hand was a millisecond ago.
Wide eyes in shock, Naruto looked up to find the one who threw it, only to be kicked directly in the face by a familiar red head.
"There you're Naruto-teme" Minami Namikaze shouted as she looked at the whimpering form of her so called little brother, holding his bloody nose "You ruined my birthday by stealing Tou-sama's important scroll" she cried out before kicking him in the stomach "Why don't you leave us alone, you're just the pain in the ass to me, to Naruko, and to our parent" she stomped her foot on her younger's stomach and glared down at him "Next time you do something like this, I'm sure I will beat the hell out of you. I'm a chunnin, while you…never mind that?" she pointed at her forehead protector before giving him another kick.
"Stupid" Minami turned around to pick up the scroll and put it on her back.
"Man what a bitch" Anko said with a smirk witch nobody notice
But before she could take the walk back to her house, the red head chunnin jumped out of the way just in time a large massive windmill shuriken flew pass her head. Minami pulled a kunai out from her kunai pouch and took a fighting stance
"Well well, if it isn't the genius daughter of Hokage-sama" the arrogant voice belonged to Mizuki made Minami snapped her head up and saw her attacker. The white head bastard that always tried to hit on her despite the fact that he almost double her age, standing tall on a tree's branch with a smirk and a shuriken, as big as the previous one on his back.
"AWW petafile" Sakure screamed
"You, you're the one that make Naruto steal the scroll aren't you?" Minami asked with a cold tone.
"Why yes I'm dear" Mizuki smirked as he slowly taking the shuriken from his back "that child is so priceless, beg me to let him become a gennin just so he could make his dear father proud. But it didn't matter now because I will kill you and take that scroll to Orochimaru-sama"
"Orochimaru?" Minami snarled, she recognized that name from her father's teaching "you work for him?"
"That's right." Mizuki began to spin the windmill in his hand "it's a real shame that I have to kill you Minami-chan, but for the sake of my future power your life end here"
"Tch, what made you think you can bea…" But Minami didn't have the chance to finish that sentence because wires suddenly appeared around her and wrapped tightly around her body, some even tight enough to draw blood from her skin "What the hell" Minami cried out as she fell to the ground in a dull thug, her arms clapped tightly against her body.
"Now now, do you think that I really stupid enough to take on you without any preparation" Mizuki laughed arrogantly "You see, this is the place I said I will meet him, and of course just incased anyone found him, I put some traps around the place" He brought his hand back and was about to launch the weapon "so goodbye Minami-chan" and he threw the shuriken.
"Is she really a chunnin" Tsunade with a raised brow
"Somehow yes" Hussbek said with a raised brow as well
Time seemed to stop around them as Minami watched the shuriken got close to her, her eyes were wide and her body frozen in shock. She could cut the wires that were holding her down using the kunai she was holding, but she couldn't move an inch of her body. She was just being promoted to chunnin yesterday, the first time she faced a life and death situation without her sensei.
Faintly, she could hear the sound of her parent and youngest sibling nearby. Turning her head to the side she saw her father, the Yondaime Hokage of the leaf village as well as his wife, Kushina Uzumaki along with her sister Naruko trying to get to her as fast as they could. Her father brought his hand back to throw his famous tri-prongs kunai, but she knew it was too late the shuriken had gotten too close.
"Wait WHAT, OKAY WHO KNEW THAT" Naruto yelled at the top of his longs. All the adults raised their hand
"Okay all of you are getting prank so badly when we get back" he said with a devilish smirk on his face making everyone shiver
Closing her eyes, Minami readied for the pain of getting impaled by a windmill shuriken.
Yet the pain never came…
The only thing she felt was something like drops of water dropping on her face.
Opening her eyes slowly, she felt her eyes widened in total shock and began to tear up.
Their parent gasped in horrification while her sister looked at the scene with eyes wide
"Hey there Nee-sama"
Naruto was on top of her, with a blade of the windmill shuriken impaled into his back, poking out on his chest, just millimeter above his heart.
He was smiling down at her, his face bloody because of the kick she gave him, and he was crying.
"W-why?" Minami spluttered, tears fell from her eyes.
"Wh-what ar-e you…saying nee-sama" Naruto coughed a mouth full of blood on Minami's face, but she paid no mind "you're m-y fa…mily. No matter what happen…"
"I…don't care if…Tou-sama…and Kaa-sama ignored me" more tears fell from Naruto's eyes "I just…want to be acknowledge by…my family. I…"
Naruto's body then went limp and fell down to Minami's chest. She couldn't hear his heartbeat or his breath any longer...
Everyone was too shock to say something
Unconsciously, after cutting the wire around her arms, she wrapped them around his neck and hugged him as tightly as she could.
What had they done?
"Hahaha, what a touching moment" Mizuki roared out in laughter "That blade of mine have a very special posion, even the one with Kyuubi's chakra couldn't heal as fast as normal, let alone the one holding his soul" he laughed, he killed the son of Hokage.
But before Mizuki could continue to celebrate his achievement, two shadows appeared before and behind him with murderous intent in their eyes.
In a clean and lightning fast movement, Mizuki's head fell to the ground under the blades of Kushina and Minato's kunai.
"NARUTO!" Minami's cried of pain immediately alerted the parent.
They turned around and got to their children with tears filled eyes and painfull heart. Minami was crying her heart out while hugging the limp body of her brother, who until now hadn't recieved any real sibling's love from her.
Kushina fell to her knees before the painful scene in front of her. She couldn't bear it any longer. She couldn't call herself a mother for what she had done to her own flesh and blood, her only son. The world shattered around her like a broken glass.
Heartbeat.
"Wait what, a heartbeat but his dead" a shock Sakura said what happened early
"Just remember what happen early" Wild said like this happens all the time
Minato Namikaze, the Yondai Hokage of Konohagakure looked up from the ground with wide eyes. He could hear it, his son faint heartbeats.
Maybe there was a chance of saving his son.
"He's still alive" Minato said making his family turned their head to him "We need to bring him to the hospital now" he said as quick as he could, their son's life was going away with each second passed, there were no time for crying and regretting now.
"Minami, give him to me, quick"
His oldest daughter quickly handed Naruto over her father.
In a blink of an eye, he disappeared in a flash of yellow.
"Kaa-sama, will Nii-sama alright?" A teary Naruko asked as she kneed down beside Minami, helping her sister freed herself from the wires around her ankles.
"I don't know Naruko-chan, I don't know" Kushina whispered quietly, wiping the tears away from her eyes.
As soon as her daughter was freed from her binding, the three of them quickly got to Konoha's hospital.
The first thing they saw was Minato sitting on a chair before the emergency surgery room, burying his face into his hands.
"Minato-kun" Kushina called out to her husband.
"Kushina-chan" Minato looked up from his hands and immediately stood up and wrapped his arms around her.
"Is… he…going to be fine?" Kushina asked with a shaky tone, she was scared, scared of losing her own son.
"It's going to be fine, Tsunade-sama is here" the rest of the Namikaze widened their eyes in shock at that. The legendary Sannin was here, which mean that there was still a chance that they could save Naruto.
"Well did not see that coming" kurenai said not believing what she herd
Their oldest daughter then fell to her knee on the ground; furiously wiping the tears from her eyes while Naruto trying to comfort her sister.
After everything they done to him, he still loved them.
"Minato, Kushina" the surgery room suddenly opened as the Hokage stepped out from there with a shock expression on her face. Kushina's heart sank when she saw her teacher's bloody hands.
"Tsunade-sama" Kushina grabbed the legendary Kunoichi's shoulder "Please tell me sochi is alright, please tell me he is survive"
"I don't know Kushina" Tsunade shook her head "His wound…it suddenly healed up when we pulled the kunai out of him, we hadn't done anything yet."
"Wh-what?" It couldn't be possible. They had sealed the chakra into their daughter while the soul into their son, without its chakra Kyuubi shouldn't be able to heal Naruto.
"It's not all…he…" Tsunade then turned around just before the door of the surgery room opened once again "you should see it yourself" the doctors pushed the bed holding Naruto out of the room, making all the members of Namikaze family ran to him.
Everyone widened their eyes in shock at what they were seeing.
His hair, which used to grow straight down had become spiky just like his father.
The color had also changed as well, now his hair was bright yellow, the only red color left were at his bangs on each side of his face.
"Interesting turn of events" Kakashi said with a raised brow getting a yep from everyone but guy saying 'this has been a youthful events'
