Prologue
Summer
5:03 PM, Konohagakure no Sato, Hi no Kuni
The day was quiet, the sky was a clear azure and sweet winds blew from the north, carrying the fresh scent of the mountains and forests, of the lakes and oceans, and of the coming autumn as the birds sang in the trees and from the rooftops and phone lines. Looks can be deceiving, and Chaos reigned in the land, the streets of the majestic city ran red with the blood or friend and foe alike. The five faces carved in the mountainside looked over the city, watching as the children grew and took the places of those who came before them, were smeared with blood and was darkened with the ash of the ever burning fires. The streets were covered in corpses, and the walls were piled high with the dead of both the city's defenders and attackers.
It was a temporary lull in battle as the enemy had been beaten back and had retreated to regroup while the city's defenders moved the dead, destroying the corpses with high powered Fire Spells. The ninja of the Hidden Village in the Leaf breathed freely for a time, but whereas there was normally a relaxed tension during which the civilians were allowed to leave the safety of the shelters to allow the children and elderly to stretch their legs, and for the capable adults to set to work doing what they could to clean the city, the streets were silent, and an air of gloom covered the Ninja Village.
Not long before the battle had ended, seven of the Village's best Ninja had vanished, their beloved Hokage amongst them. The prodigal son of the late disgraced White Fang, Copy-Ninja Hatake Kakashi who had been the student of the late Yondaime Hokage, the Sannin Jiraiya, Heiress of the Hyuuga House, Hyuuga Hinata and her cousin in the Branch House, Hyuuga Neji, Academy Teacher Umino Iruka, Haruno Sakura of Team 7, whose Jounin-Sensei was Hatake Kakashi and the second Apprentice of the Godaime Hokage, and the Godaime Hokage, Tsunade herself.
A strange Jutsu had been cast by the Orochimaru, the leader of the Hidden Village in the Sound, and after the technique's completion, the seven Ninja had vanished. The only person who would have been capable of repelling or reenacting the Jutsu, though no one realized it, the Vessel of the Kyuubi no Yoko, one Uzumaki Naruto, on whose naval resided the Shiki Fuuin which sealed the Nine-Tailed Fox, had left the village for a mission, and had only arrived after the battle's end.
At the moment, the golden haired Jinchuuriki stood in the Council Chamber within the Hokage no Dairi before the thirteen Council Elders of Konoha.
"We desire for you to take Tsunade's place as Hokage," one elder said.
"For twenty years we have watched you, and it has been determined that the Kyuubi incarnate you are not," said another elder.
"Your actions seem brash and foolish, but you think things through and while we see ten possibilities, you see two hundred," said a third elder with the pearl white eyes of the Hyuuga Clan.
"Will you lead us as Konohagakure no Sato's Rokudaime Hokage?" asked another elder.
Naruto bowed. "I would be honored to become the Rokudaime, Elders," the blonde said.
"Your inauguration will take place first thing tomorrow then," said a fifth elder.
Naruto bowed again when the Elders dismissed him and he vanished in a puff of smoke.
The newly appointed Rokudaime was the only person in Konoha who knew the connection between the seven missing Ninja. They were all people who were precious to him. His hands clenched into fists, and his eyes narrowed.
Orochimaru would pay…
Winner Estate, Belgium, Earth
4:00 A.M., April 23, 197 A.C
Quatre Raberba Winner, also known as Gundam Pilot 04, had always known that he was different from other people. It wasn't simply his Empathic abilities, but the simple knowledge that he was not all that he seemed, for once, in his previous life, he had been a shinobi. He had not been just any shinobi; he had been the Sixth leader of a Ninja Village, a Kage. He had been a Jinchuuriki and the vessel of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Kyuubi no Yoko, the child known as Uzumaki Naruto. Even now, countless millennia and reincarnations later, the seal containing the Kyuubi still appeared whenever he channeled or molded his chakra.
In an era where modern day shinobi relied on firearms more than on kunai or shuriken, the few throwing knives or throwing stars that he could find were of substandard quality. Even the few katana and tanto that he could acquire lacked the strength, functionality, and balance of the weapons he had been used to wielding in his previous incarnation.
He had borrowed Wufei's katana once, and had been surprised to find the blade to be of good quality, though not to the high standards of the blade he himself had once wielded. He had been even more dismayed when he found that while treasured and cared for, the blade had not been taken care of properly. The golden haired teen had returned the katana to the dark haired pilot with a thick file detailing the proper care of a katana and a stern warning that blades of high quality were difficult to come by in the current age, even with his family's vast resources, so the Chinese pilot had best take good care of the blade.
A sudden flare of chakra from the northern portion of the estate caught his attention while he had been in the gazebo, going through the paperwork of WEI. The blonde carefully capped the pen and closed the file, placing a crystal paperweight on the stack of papers, saved the files on his laptop and shut it off, and stood up. A Maganac who was nearby promptly collected the papers and laptop and vanished toward the mansion while another Maganac followed the Winner as he left the area.
Little did he know that his current life was about to be impacted by his previous life…
