A.N. Hey, so this is my first story and I want to clarify a few things.
1. I don't know the universe that well, having watched a minimal amount of the shows, and having never read the manga, meaning that I WILL get a lot of things wrong.
2. I will happily take criticism, as well as advice, but only if you are polite about it. Meaning that if you say something like, "Hey jackass, you're fucking stupid for doing so-and-so this way" you will be ignored.
3. I might intentionally draw on other ideas from other shows, games, etc. etc. I will most likely not do a full crossover. Just warning everyone now.
4. I will be making the pairing a harem, and Naruto will be much smarter, stronger, and most likely be a mash-up of different things. He will not have Mokuton, Sharigan, or most other bloodline limits.
Sorry for the super long A.N. I'll get to it.

Chapter 1: Prologue
Unknown Time: Unknown Place
A group of figures were sitting around a table, each deep in their own thoughts over the horrible problem they now faced, and its equally upsetting solution.
"And we're sure that this is the right idea? What if he proves to be just as bloodthirsty as that man?" One of the figures spoke, a large male with pure black canine ears pressed against his skull, his eyes glowing a strange mix of black and red, seemingly like flames. None of the others could tell if his disgust came from the topic at hand, or the memories of the man they all hated with every fiber of their beings.
"I'm afraid we have no choice, we will need a king to lead us, and He has already said that this boy will grow up to be the one we need, with our help." Another of the figures spoke, this one a male with a mask over his face, decorated with an image of machinery, and created out of bone.
"Well, either way, we will need to prepare, both ourselves, and our clans." A woman spoke up, her exposed tattoos glowing a dull violet.
"Very true" Another male spoke, his voice coming as a warm, silken vice, causing all around him to shiver from the feeling, none more so then the female at the table. His large, black, leather like wings were comfortably wrapped around him, keeping his body hidden. "We must make sure that our followers give him their support, if this is to have any chance at success."
One of the males stood, his gilded, metallic wings folded carefully to avoid harming anyone. "He has spoken, and we must listen. If we refuse to adapt, then we will change nothing and our kinds will continue to be hated. The child will help us, simply because we will be honest with him, unlike those disgusting humans he will have to live with." The man slowly walked around the table, stopping before the male with canine ears. "Each of us have a part to play in his future, just as he will have a part in the future of the world."
The canine man stood." I know that, but..." He trailed off, seeming to not wish to continue.
"But what, Infernum?" The woman spoke, confused as to why the headstrong demon had hesitated.
The man, Infernum, took a breath, "What if he...harms any of our followers? Our families?" Infernum looked away, hating what he thought was a show of weakness.
"He won't harm anyone Infernum, especially when we tell him of what He said." Another man stood, this one with a massive gilded sword strapped to his back. "Also, do all of you understand what this will mean in the end? What will happen to us when it is time?" The warrior received nods from all present. "Good. I would also suggest something else."
The other looked at he patiently, inherently know that what he would say next would be important, as well as most likely unpleasant. "I want each of you to choose a female of your clan to stay with him. Hopefully, the additional comfort, as well as the possibility of love for him, will make his duty all the easier."
"WHAT!" Many of the figures screamed at the same time in equal parts shock and fury. Each and every one of the group members' voices had changed becoming more potent and laced with power in their anger, excluding the male with bat like wings, as well as the demon with the mask. The female of the group spoke the loudest.
"YOU WANT ME TO FORCE ONE OF MY GIRLS TO BECOME THIS BOY'S SLUT KAZIALUS?! I SHOULD DRAG YOU BEFORE HIM FOR ATTEMPTING TO IMPLY SUCH A THING!"
The bat like male spoke up, calm and soothing, "Calm down Celestea, allow Kazi to explain before you make assumptions."
The woman, Celestea, felt herself calm immediately upon the man speaking, the compulsion to powerful for her to resist. Kazialus sent a grateful look to the male.
"Thank you Haviair, but as I said Celestea, I wanted the boy to have a chance to find love wherever he can, and I have every bit of confidence that he will treat all of the women well."
Celestea stopped and thought for a moment, then realized she would probably be given the chance to teach the boy herself about how he should act in certain ways when dealing with women, therefore making sure he would treat any girls he became close to perfectly. "Very well. But if he hurts any of the girls purposely, he will experience the worst kind of pain I can make." No one commented, knowing to challenge her was a bad idea at the moment.
A new figure appeared in a flash of light, causing everyone in the room to stand and bow. The new person was a male with glowing golden eyes without a pupil, and radiated a diving aura, causing the demons to flinch away.
"Hello everyone, I am glad you all came at my urging." The being spoke before lowering his aura, looking apologetically at the demons. "I'm very sorry about that, I hope I didn't harm any of you?"
"No, we're fine, Lord", spoke the demon with the mask, slightly adjusting said mask a little.
"Good, good, I hope each of you know and understand what I'm asking each of you?" He recived nods from all in the room. "well, will each of you agree to this task for me? We may yet save this world from destruction at its own hands."
Haviair spoke up, "Lord? May I ask about Lady Inzala? Where will she fit into this? Also, won't all of us inside the boy force his body to erupt from the overwhelming power?"
The man smiled, "Dear Inzala will be staying with the boy as planned, however, I have a hunch that she will find that the boy will be someone she'll grow to care for. And as far as his body handling so much power, I will give him my blessing to assist him."
Haviair's eyebrows rose, "Well, I suppose for the good of my kind, I will agree to this." All the others in the room agreed as well.
The man smiled, "Thank you, all of you. I know what I'm asking for is a lot, but I know the boy will save this world."
The man with the golden wings spoke up, "Lord Kami, may I ask as to what makes this boy so special?"
Kami gave a sad smile, knowing how everyone will react, yet also knowing it would be so much worse if he hid it from them. "He is special because he is the re-incarnated soul of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, although I believe the mortals called him the Sage of Six Paths."
Everyone in the room froze before KI flooded the room, enough that anyone mortal would have died a thousand times over as they glared at the god.
"You...would ask us to assist the bloodthirsty, backstabbing, megalomaniac that trapped us here?" The man with the mask spoke quietly, his voice betraying his wrath.
"Yes Quizali, I know that all of you hold hatred from what he did to you in his past life, but I ask you all to let it go and assist the child in fixing the mistakes of the past." Kami spoke gently, knowing that each of the beings in the room had every right to hate the mortal that did this to them.
"Mistake, Kami?! You say that all of us ending up exiled away because of that mortal's desire for respect and power was a simple MISTAKE?!" Infernum roared, his anger giving way as his body ignited, forcing out a wave of stifling heat to flood the room.
Kami calmly tilted his head as he looked at everyone in the room one by one, making sure they would listen to him, "Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. I had no desire to see all of you thrown away like trash after all you did for him, but I did not think he would do that after everything else that had happened. I'm sure all of you remember, but I am not perfect, nor do I claim to be. It is difficult enough for me to manifest and give you direction as is, I simply do not have the ability to see the future. My dear sister has that gift, and she decided not to tell me what would happen, as is her right as Fate"
The others in the room stared for a moment, before calming down slowly. Infernum focused on extinguishing his flames, before he looked at Kami in the eyes. "Fine, but if the boy shows that he is no better that that pathetic man, then he will die."
Kami smiled a little, "All I can ask is that you give him a chance."
The man with the sword stood as he spoke, "As you wish Lord Kami, however, I believe that we must leave to prepare ourselves, as well as our clans, for everything that will happen."
Kami nodded, "Yes, I would also suggest that you gather information on the boy's parents, the histories of both of his clans, as well as making sure Inzala know about her part."
Quizali bowed, "Of course, Lord." He left in a gust of smoke. One by one, the other beings in the room left in similar manners, until Kami was the only one left.
Kami sighed tiredly before taking a seat in a vacated spot. "Naruto, I hope you will survive in the beginning….this world will hate you for so long because of the ignorance and arrogance of you fellow mortals..."
