Hello guys this is my first fic. Hope you enjoy it. Story divert from latest manga episode.
Naruto Uzumaki – Namikaze, the prodigy of hardwork born from the prodigies of intellect Namikaze Minato (SS – ranked) and Uzumaki Kushina (S – ranked, borderline SS), suffered throughout his life. But he didn't forget his nindo or as he says his way of life, 'that no matter what he would never give up'. His huge heart for forgiveness and compassion for even his enemies made him heartthrob of many. Many people believed Naruto had the greatest power of all, much more powerful than any Kekkai Genkai, the power to change people and make them follow him. The people who initially saw him as demon started seeing him in new light i.e., Kyuubi and he are two separate entities.
In reality Naruto was naive to see the good in all people. If a person was 99 percent evil, Naruto looked at his 1 percent good and tried to get that person to leave his evil ways and work for the betterment of the society. But now after living for eternity as various people in many dimension, people belonging to future and people of past, Naruto became apathetic.
Naruto after becoming the Second Sage of Juubi in his first timeline was ecstatic that he was able to save people/shinobi from their destruction, even though it caused his death. Naruto died happily that his death would save many and he would revered as a hero just like his father.
After defeating Uchiha Obito with help of his pal Uchiha Sasuke, they both went to confront Uchiha Madara. Uchiha Sasuke's greatest ambition was to see his family. When Madara used Edo-Tensei no Jutsu to revive Uchiha Mikoto, he froze and this lead to his death as Mikoto was forced to kill him. Sasuke's death was painless as he was decapitated by Mikoto as soon as she was revived. Before Sasuke could recover from shock he was killed.
Naruto in rage attacked Madara but Madara took control of the Juubi from defeated Obito and trashed Naruto. Juubi in its tree form tried to absorb Kyuubi's chakra from Naruto, but Naruto is one stubborn bastard, so when Juubi was absorbing Kurama's chakra, Naruto used the third Jutsu of his father's, which Minato found in Uzumaki ruins, an S-ranked Kinjutsu named The Shiki Fujin to seal Juubi and himself inside the stomach of Shinigami.
What Naruto didn't anticipate that by doing this his soul merged with Juubi and he absorbed Shinigami too. When someone uses Shiki Fujin, his soul is separated from the body and held on for eternity in Dangai (Bleach reference), which humans mistook for Shinigami's stomach.
For absorbing Juubi and Shinigami, his soul transcended the normal plane of rebirth and deaths. So Naruto keeping his memories and Juubi's chakra was reborn tens of thousands of times as many famous Shinobi and Shinigami, as dangai had no sense for time and space.
To keep out the monotony and to keep him from being bored, he choose a profession for each life and followed it. For example in one life he became a swordsman and is known as father of sword-arts. He invented many sword styles like Santoryuu, Flaming Dragon blast, Uzumaki Ken etc. In some of his lifetimes he worked as medic, puppeteer, mad scientist etc. He was even reborn as many shinigami like Aizen, Ichigo, Byakyuya and as Espada too.
What Naruto didn't have control over was which avatar he was being reborn as. Now finally Uzumaki Naruto is being reborn as himself.
-Day of Kyuubi attack-
Uzumaki Kushina fell in love with Namikaze Minato after he saved her from her abduction by Kumo. Namikaze Minato too loved her very much and they made love to each other after 'The Third Great Shinobi War'. But due to Minato's rising fame, his parents forbade him to marry Kushina. They felt Namikaze clan would have more power if Minato married Mikoto.
Minato married Uchiha Mikoto and fathered Uchiha-Namikaze Itachi and Uchiha-Namikaze Sasuke. Due their lineage Itachi and Sasuke were destined to be great and many expectations were on them. Itachi at 5 years was already a prodigy and rivalled the likes of Minato and Orochimaru. Sasuke was born just 3 months ago. Uchiha clan was slowly prospering with Minato and Mikoto leading it. One man or rather two men were not satisfied – one Uchiha Obito and another Uchiha Fugaku. So they both devised a plan to usurp Uchiha clan's power and death of Namikaze Minato.
One year ago they both gave lust potion to Minato and Kushina when they were together, so they crossed the boundaries and had sex, thus Naruto was conceived. Minato was made to forget about this incident by Obito using his Sharingan. When Kushina told Minato that she was pregnant with his child, he became enraged called her a whore trying to destabilize his marriage. Minato made Kushina's life a living hell during her pregnancy, as he thought she was trying to cheat him.
Fast forwarding 9 months, on the day of Naruto's birth, Uchiha Obito released Kyuubi after nearly killing Naruto. Minato in hurry teleported Naruto to his house, in Uchiha compound, from where Fugaku kidnapped Naruto so that Kyuubi couldn't be sealed into him. Minato in desperation sealed Kyuubi into his other son, Sasuke as he could not find Naruto. Kushina flat-out refused to seal her chakra into the seal.
After the sealing and before Sandaime appeared on the scene Fugaku appeared at the site and switched Sasuke with Naruto to give everyone the impression that Naruto contained Kyuubi. But Minato was barely alive and saw everything. So when Sandaime came he told everything he saw and told him to continue the ruse that Naruto is the Jinchuruki of the Kyuubi as there were many powerful shinobi who would come for Kyuubi due to which Sasuke's life would be in danger and to be wary of Fugaku who is a traitor. Minato finally succumbed to death, to spend all eternity in Shinigami's stomach or not. What he didn't know was that he would be revived and he would be used for the destruction of Konoha.
Kushina was very weak due to her harsh treatment during her pregnancy, she too died not long after Minato, as her body couldn't handle the stress of Kyuubi being ripped from her. She died without seeing her new born even once due to the ploy of Uchiha's and ignorance of a Namikaze. The rage of which would be felt by every Uchiha and Namikaze in coming years.
Next day Sandaime announced that Minato sealed Kyuubi in Naruto. In coming years Naruto faced a very harsh life. He was beaten to near death many times. Anbu always arrived at the last moments. Sandaime too did not care much for Naruto as he wasn't the Jinchuriki. Many ninjas practiced their arts on Naruto. Medics and T&I guys like Anko tested many poisons and Genjutsu users like Kurenai used to test her newly created Genjutsu on Naruto. Luckily Naruto survived due to Uzumaki vitality. When Naruto was seven, on his birthday he was killed by the civilian council.
Uchiha Fugaku organised this mob hunt for Naruto. Fugaku after Minato's death married Mikoto and became clan head of the Uchiha's. Itachi was wary of Fugaku but Sasuke loved him very much even though Fugaku never treated Sasuke like a proper son. Fugaku wanted to kill Naruto as many were planning to train Naruto, thinking him to be a Jinchuriki. The only people who knew the truth were Hiruzen, elder council (Danzo, Homura, Koharu), Jiraiya.
Naruto, Eternal Sage, saw this timeline's Naruto's life slipping away and finally when his soul left the body Naruto took his place. When the soul transfer took place huge amount of malevolent chakra was released. Sandaime along with Anbu appeared on the spot due to the chakra disturbance. After checking that Naruto was still alive, Hiruzen felt pity for the boy as he suffered due to no fault of his. He turned to mob and shouted
"You fools what are you doing, he is the person holding back the Kyuubi, if he dies Kyuubi will be released. If anyone tries to harm him, I will personally hunt you and kill your family before you. Now get lost."
The mob was shocked, that they nearly released Kyuubi. They scattered like flees when Sandaime gave the command.
Then he turned to Anbu and gave orders "Take him to hospital and if they try to deny treatment tell them that it is punishable by death to them. I will come and visit him tomorrow. I want two Anbu to guard him always."
Sandaime next day visited hospital to find Naruto's body completely bandaged giving him the look of a mummy. Nearly all his bones were broken and multiple stab wounds could be found on his body. Also he suffered from third degree burns over 70 percent on his body.
"Sandaime sama due to the shock, the poor boy's chakra core collapsed. Even Orochimaru's experiments are better than what he suffered. We cannot find any chakra from him. His chakra core is damaged and he is in coma. I don't know when he would wake up. He will likely have difficulty in performing high chakra Ninjutsu." said the chief medic to Hiruzen.
Sandaime had tears in his eyes as an orphan suffered due to his lies. Naruto was always a cheerful child, who played pranks and joined the academy last year. He was a trouble maker but he had a good heart and had an ambition to become Hokage. He couldn't spend much time with him due to his duties as Hokage and also neglected his welfare. The ruse of Naruto being Jinchuriki of Kyuubi nearly fell apart.
Hiruzen looked at Naruto sadly and softly said "Get well soon my boy. I am very sorry for what you had to suffer. I will punish those who will wrong you. Get well soon."
Unknown to him Naruto listened to everything Sandaime said. Naruto created a youki-shroud around the body from any youki or chakra being leaked and make it presence known. He had modification to make to the current body. It wouldn't do him any good for the people to find out.
Many ninjas that night felt very bad for the boy. He suffered much and gained very less. The ice-queens of Konoha also felt very bad to treat the boy as such and that he nearly got killed. They vowed they would help him when ever he required. Many Shinobi also came to know the importance of Naruto being the Jinchuriki and thought that they would help him too and not let him suffer.
So here is the first chapter folks. Hope you like it. Please review. The story would get much more interesting from next chapter onwards.
