Lost Life
Chapter One – Disaster
'A long time ago there lived a man, this was no ordinary man he was known all across the elemental nations by a simple name that was both feared and loved, he was known as the Rikudo Sennin a man that will be forever known in history as the one that gifted the world with chakra.
Much is unknown about the man himself such as his name, who was his mother, why he chose to give the world chakra, many believed he was a god others believed he was a fool, both would be correct in these assumptions.
The sennin later in life had two son's Asura and Indra who were always fighting to become their fathers successor, when the sennin died the two son's would later go on to receive gifts from him Indra would receive the eyes of the sennin while Asura would receive his body's powers and wish to attain peace in this world.
Indra would later try to fight and kill his brother who believed that he should be the one to attain peace in this world as he felt it was his birthright being the first born, Indra's descendants (Who became the Uchiha clan) would continue this fight with Asura's descendants (who would become known as the Senju clan)
This fighting would continue for years to come until a Senju and an Uchiha where born that would later in life change things in both clans and become best friends, their names where Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha
The fighting came to a standstill when Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju both became clan heads, together they came to an understanding and later both clans where at peace with one another. Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha both decided since they were at peace they could begin to accomplish their collective dream, to build a hidden village that would later be known as Kon-'
SLAM!
The sound of a big book shutting rang throughout the Library, most people looked up to where the noise came from but when they couldn't find it they dismissed it and went on with what they were doing, what they didn't know was that in a small enclosed area of the library a little girl who couldn't be older than 7 was currently reading a book that looked way too big for her to be reading, so why was this little girl reading said book?
The girl in question appeared to be in deep thought about what she had just read, she had blonde hair that cascaded down past her shoulders and rested in the middle of her back, she was wearing an orange jumpsuit that some people wouldn't even be caught dead looking at, it was hideous. On the top of her head was a pair of goggles but what caught most people's eyes about the girl where the whisker marks on her face.
'Rikudo Sennin? Why it is no one talks about such a person.' Where the girls thoughts.
What the girl didn't know was that when she was reading this something deep down had awakened, a being of immense power.
The sound of footsteps coming towards her position rang her out of her thoughts, she couldn't be caught in the library, and she stood up getting ready to run, just as the footstep's rounded the corner towards her position.
Just as she was about to run she tripped and fell face first.
What did she trip on? The book she was just reading.
"YOU! What are you doing in my Library!" the librarian yelled at the girl
This seemed to grab the attention of the other people in said library and most chuunin where already walking towards the area the girl was located, when they got there they quickly gathered the girl up and threw her out of the library with a quick.
"And stay out! Demons don't need to learn!"
The girl of course landed in a heap in front of the library, she quickly stood up and dusted herself off, many people on the streets had stopped and glared at her, the glares soon turned to whispers but she just ignored them, turning around with a scowl on her face she stalked off towards her home.
With more glares from the villagers some ninja she continued soon found her way back to her home, a rundown apartment that needed a major fixing, said apartment was located in an area of the village where most crimes where held, robbery, murder and worst of all rape.
The girl wondered why most of the village hated her, treated her like nothing but dirt beneath their feet but every time she wants to find answers from her "jiji" he says he doesn't know or to forgive them, she doesn't know how much forgiveness she has left in this little heart of hers, but she always promises to try her best to forgive.
'What a foolish thought, forgive them... It's sickening.' the girl thought as she unlocked the door to her apartment, she walked in and went to her bed to sleep, to clear her mind. Contrary to popular belief this girl was smart a genius if not, she hated her orange "monstrosity" people call a jumpsuit, if it was up to her she would where white, white was such a nice color.
A few hours after the girl fell asleep it was getting dark outside, and something was coming up the stairs if the loud 'Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!' wasn't any indication.
Unfortunately this little girl was a really heavy sleeper, she wouldn't awaken until her body said she needed to be awake, so when the front door opened and in came several villagers looking to rid Konoha of the "demon" she was still asleep.
They all raised their weapons to kill her in one swift moment, that was the plan anyway, just as there make shift weapons were about to come into contact with the girl, her body woke her up and she was immediately on guard sensing intruders.
The girl jumped out of the window and fell down about 100 meters before coming into contact with the ground which hurt, a lot, since she had no ninja training she didn't know how to cushion the fall, by the time however she got down to the ground she failed to notice a rather large amount of civilians and some ninja standing outside her apartment building with torches.
'Seems after they killed me they were going to burn down the building and play it off as some electrical malfunction… Idiots.' The girl thought before she shot off into a rather small alleyway, the civilians however noticed her and took off after her.
The girl failed to notice however that there was something blocking her path as she turned to look over her shoulder to see if they followed her, she ran into it and fell back onto her bottom sitting on the ground she looked up, there stood a man approximately 6 foot tall and he was rather fat.
'Civilian *Sigh* Just my luck.' She thought before she was hit over the head and blacked out.
Drip

Drip
Slowly the girls eyes open to see a corridor, with water, doors on her right and left, she got up and looked down to see her reflection staring back at her.
"This way." She heard a voice come from in front of her it sounded feminine and motherly.
She chose to walk her way towards this strange voice, down the end of the corridor. When she reached the end she saw a large cage, on the front of the cage there was a piece of paper on it that had the Kanji for seal, within the large cage she could here deep breaths like someone or something is sleeping.
Standing directly in front of the cage was a women, she had long hair that reached to the floor it was as white as snow, the women was wearing something similar to a kimono that was white, it had weird symbols on it that where black in color, most noticeable however were two horn like protrusions which stuck out from her head, the girl was stuck in a daze, she couldn't see this women's face but she looked beautiful.
"Hello?" She spoke in a confused voice, Why was she here? Where was she? Why is there a big cage?
The women turned around and gave her a polite smile something of which she never received, she know took notice of the women's face she looked to have three eyes, which was weird didn't people have two eyes?
"We are in your mind." The women spoke it was a gentle tone.
'My mind… Interesting.' Where her thoughts, she didn't take her eyes of the women but she saw her smile widen as if she read her thoughts.
"You are here because I wished it, and it's time for you to finally meet me." The women then continued on "My name is Kaguya Otsutsuki." The women know identified as Kaguya finished.
The girl was looking at Kaguya oddly, she saw Kaguya sigh and then walk towards the girl, and the girl on reflex took a step back which Kaguya saw.
"I am not going to hurt you." Kaguya said, she saw the girl relax and continued to walk towards her, when she reached the girl she knelt down and looked into her eyes, the girl looked back, it was silent for a long time before Kaguya put her hand on the top of the girls head.
"I have been watching you Naruko Uzumaki." The girl now identified as Naruko who was still entranced in the beauty of Kaguya's eyes broke out of her trance when she heard her name.
"Why? And what's with the cage?" Naruko questioned.
Kaguya smiled at the girl "I have been waiting to meet you Naruko, contrary to popular belief you are someone very special to me and to this world, and the cage is there to keep something back"
Naruko was lost in thought, how could she be special to this women, Kaguya they have never met.
"Something about you is about to change Naruko and I am going to need you to hear me out because this may take a while to explain okay?" Kaguya saw Naruko nod "Well then why don't you take a seat?"
Naruko sat down while Kaguya kneeled in front of Naruko and began to explain things to Naruko.
"Naruko do you know of the one they call Sage of Six paths?" with Naruko's confirmed nod she continued "His name was Hogoromo Otutsuki." Kaguya saw Naruko's eyes widen and she continued "I was his mother." Naruko was staring at Kaguya with wide eyes.
"You where his mother?" Naruko questioned.
"Yes, But this is not why I wanted to meet you." Kaguya wanted to move on and get to why she was here.
"Well then why did you want to meet me?" Naruko looked at her with a cute tilt of the head.
"It might be hard to believe this but that's the reason I am here, Naruko, in your previous life time you where me, at some point I was reincarnated and reborn as you, I am not really here I am a spirit or if you would, your locked away memories and powers." Kaguya explained.
Naruko was looking at Kaguya as she explained running through a lot of emotions, going wide eyed, confused to complete and utter disbelief, until she thought about it, if reincarnation was true and this was real.
"Say I believe you, what happens then?" Naruko asks, would she get her memories and powers?
"Well I would unlock your lost memories and powers" Kaguya explained. "Your powers would take time to fully unlock to a stage where you would be able to use them to the fullest." Kaguya looked at Naruko who looked in thought.
"How would we unlock my memories?" Naruko asks, curious to see if it was painful.
"It won't be painful if you are wondering and I can do it at any moment but I need you to be completely still have a clear mind and to accept me, if you reject me it will be painful." Kaguya explains, with a nod of Naruko head Kaguya continued "Now before we do this I need you to do something."
"Yes?" Naruko questions.
"You will regain your memories from your previous life as me, Kaguya and your personality will change dramatically, I need you to leave this village but return later, say 5 years, and deal with the ones that are hunting the Biju, you will understand once I recover your lost memories" Kaguya finished her explanation.
"I can do that." Naruko replied before she closed her eyes and concentrated on clearing her mind.
Kaguya lifted her hands and placed the on either side of Naruko's head, she then started to channel chakra to her hands, before there was a bright light. Kaguya didn't see it nor could Naruko both had their eyes closed in concentration, but it was bright enough to awake the one behind the cage, it looked to the light and winced, before he closed his eyes harshly.
When the bright light was gone, only one figure remained and that was Naruko, before Naruko opened her eyes she was assaulted with lots of images and memories and she started to remember things more clearly, The Shinju's fruit, The Ten-Tails and her ability's.
When she opened her eyes she looked around until she visualized a mirror, which popped out of nowhere remembering this was her mind and something she controlled, she looked at the mirror and took in her appearance, gone where her blue eyes instead they were white. Gone was her blonde hair replaced by snow white hair that no longer spiked up in weird directions but fell straight.
Naruko was still wearing her orange "monstrosity" which she sneered at in disgust, she looked back in the mirror and was ashamed she didn't have her third eye or horns yet.
Naruko sighs and says to herself "Guess I will have to wait for them to come back, got so used to them I Miss them." As this was going on she failed to see the two rather large red eyes staring at her in shock behind the cage, it was as if this being was looking at a ghost.
"First thing I am going to do is get rid of this stupid orange thing." She said in disgust.
Then she looks over to the cage and sees two red eyes looking at her, she smiles to herself at a thought, leave it to her son from her previous life to split up the ten-tails into nine separate beings of immense power.
'What was this one's name?' she thought to herself, she remembered Hagoromo saying something about naming them before sending them away.
"Kyuubi." She spoke with much command.
"It's you!" TheKyuubi spoke, with a growl.
"Whom are you referring to?" She spoke with sarcasm as she approached the cage.
"Kaguya Otutsuki!" He said the name with so much venom.
"You are correct." Naruko spoke "But you can refer to me as Naruko, it seems I have been reincarnated."
"What are you doing here!" The Kyuubi asked, or rather demanded an answer.
"Wouldn't you like to meet the one you are sealed in?" Naruko said as she finally approached the cage, the question though made The Kyuubi growl.
"What are you going to do, demand my power? Jiji told the whole nine of us about you!" The Kyuubi was getting rather agitated at the thought of being sealed inside The Kaguya Otutsuki, Hagoromo told the tailed beasts about how his mother tried to attain peace.
"I don't need your power." Naruko said this made the Kyuubi look at her as if she was crazy. "You could say rather, I am here to help keep you away from a mad man that wishes to recreate the ten-tails." As Naruko continued to speak she floated until she was directly in front of the seal.
The Kyuubi was surprised was she going to let him free? What was she doing? He looked at her as she closed her eyes, the mindscape soon started to shift to something akin to a forest there was still a cage there though a little different instead of gold bars it was made of red wood.
The Kyuubi was a little surprised why did she change the look of the mindscape? Wouldn't she want the Kyuubi to just give her power to dominate the world like she did before hand in her previous life, this wasn't the Kaguya he was told about.
'What did she say about the Ten-Tails?' The Kyuubi's thought where cut out when Naruko opened her eyes and stared directly into the Kyuubi's red ones.
"Do you promise to behave?" Naruko asks.
"What?" The Kyuubi asks generally curious, what was she on about?
"I said, do you promise to behave?"
"I guess?" Now he was really confused.
"Good." She said as she put her hand on the piece of paper, while the Kyuubi looked at her shocked, she was going to rip of the seal? Just like that!
Naruko meanwhile was confused she sensed two foreign chakra sources in the seal and along with that she would need a key to unlock the cage completely, she frowned and focused on the two foreign chakra signatures, to see if she could pull them out and talk with said beings.
"I am sorry Kyuubi I cannot unlock the seal until I have the key."
"Typical." The Kyuubi mumbled until he winced at the killing intent that was directed at him, she might be young but she has her memories and ability's, well not all her ability's.
"Do not assume I made that up to keep you at bay Kyuubi! I cannot unlock a seal without the Key which I have no location of." Naruko started of infuriated until she calmed down. "Plus there is also two foreign chakra signatures in the seal, tell me who sealed you inside my body?"
"The Yondaime Hokage!" Kyuubi said infuriated.
"It would be best to assume he also sealed himself in the seal as a precaution to you trying to 'Take Over' as people would say, but the other person." Naruko said as she continued to think on how to draw them out, both signatures.
"That could work." Naruko said more to herself, she put her hand back onto the piece of paper and begun to channel chakra in her hands, the Kyuubi was staring at her in curiosity. Naruko eyes shot open when she felt her chakra touch both the other foreign chakra signatures and then she pulled.
When she did she pulled out two people a man and a woman.
The man was tall, he had blonde hair that spiked up in all different directions and fell down to his shoulders and although she couldn't see his eyes she guessed they were blue, he was wearing blue ANBU pants and a Jounin jacket she couldn't see his shirt because of the sleeveless white haori he was wearing which Yondaime Hokage had printed on the back.
The woman was fairly tall shorter than the man, she had red hair that fell down and finished just before her hips and just like the man she couldn't see her eyes and wouldn't know what to guess of their color, she wore a dress that was olive green.
They were both asleep so she did the only thing she could think of to make them awaken.
Naruko screamed at them "WAKE UP!" Her voice was laced with chakra to make it amplify.
Like any normal sane person they awoke, with a scream, they both quickly stood up and took in their surroundings and the agitated girl before them whom looked really familiar in a way, they both quickly caught their bearings before they said in unison.
"Who are you?"
"The real question is who are you." Naruko was getting annoyed now.
"Um… I'm Minato Namikaze and this is." He pointed towards the woman who responded "Kushina Uzumaki." She responded before she looked at the girl curious as to who she is and why they were in a forest.
"I see… Interesting indeed." Naruko said before she looked at both Minato and Kushina then directed her attention to the cage which neither Minato nor Kushina saw up until now, both where staring wide eyed at the cage and the beast within it.
"And what do you make of this Kyuubi?" Naruko said before both Minato and Kushina looked at Naruko wide eyed.
'Did she just say Kyuubi?' Was the thought on both of their minds.
"What you already know of course." The Kyuubi answered with snide sarcasm.
'That answers that.' Was the thought of Kushina and Minato.
"I see… Let me ask you something, why was your chakra signature sealed within the seal contain the Kyuubi." Naruko asks, generally curious of course she knew why Minato did it, but this Kushina person.
"First let me ask you something, who are you?" Kushina asked, wanting to know if this person this girl in front of her was her daughter.
"If your question pertains about your daughter." Naruko started, with a sigh she continued "Then you would be correct in you assumption, Naruko Uzumaki I suppose, a pleasure I'm sure." Naruko finished, it wasn't long for both of her 'Parents' to wrap her up in a hug.
"How has your life been Naruko-Chan?" Kushina asks her daughter but soon regretted it after seeing the look on her face.
With venom she responded "Like hell." Without looking at her 'Parents' who were soon finding the floor interesting.
"Right now my real body should be in hospital, after a civilian attack who say they are going to 'Finish what the Yondaime started' Imbeciles." Naruko said looking straight at her father, Minato Namikaze with nothing but hatred.
Kushina however punches Minato on the top of his head yelling about how 'he is nothing but an idiot leaving his only child to a world filled with hatred' which in turn has Minato sitting in the emo corner going on about 'how sorry he was, he had to do it, it was his job' the whole scene was… amusing to say the least.
It made Naruko smile a real smile something she hasn't done in years, not a stupid goofy smile, a real smile.
"It doesn't matter anymore." Naruko spoke, gaining both parents attention who looked at her as if saying continue. "It seems my life is a bit far complex than all intended purposes." She continued which both parents responded with confused looks at her.
'How the hell am I supposed to tell them.' Naruko thought to herself.
"Have you ever believed in reincarnation?" Naruko asked in hopes this wouldn't make her sound crazy.
"Oh this is going to be rich." The Kyuubi said.
"Shut up, well have either of you believed in it?" Naruko asks, this time agitated about being ignored the first time.
"I probably would." Kushina responded with a grin, Minato on the other hand looked skeptical. "Reincarnation? What's this got to do with anything?"
"Have you heard about the Sage of the Six Paths?" Naruko asked gaining nods of confirmation that they both have.
'This is going to take a long time.' Naruko says to herself before going onto in-depth detail about being the Sennin's mother, memories that she unlocked, the Ten-Tails and the Shinju's fruit before finishing off her explanation.
"Wow." Both Kushina and Minato are at a loss for words, staring at their child in awe and fear, they just pray she's changed from her previous life.
"Why did you tell us all of this?" Minato asks, in hopes to shed some light on the subject of her gaining peace through power.
With a sigh Naruko answered "Weather you see me as Kaguya or Naruko, I am neither in being I am both, with the same memories and powers, but in actuality I am a new person entirely made up of both personality's and memories of Kaguya and Naruko."
"You're saying that not only are you Naruko but you're also Kaguya at the same time." Kushina asks, it was more of a statement rather than a question though.
"Precisely." Naruko responded.
"What are you going to do now?" Minato asks.
"Probably leave Konoha for five years to train before returning, take down an organization that is set on capturing all the tailed beasts in recreating the Ten-Tails to rule the world." Naruko responded as if it was the most obvious thing.
"Where will you go?" This time both parents spoke at the same time.
"I don't see this having any of your concerned." Naruko responded.
"Just tell us!" Kushina demanded from her daughter.
Kushina would soon later regret those words because as soon as she heard the words she dropped to the ground.
With a smile Naruko turned and stared down her mother and with a small whisper of "Uzushiogakure" it was heard by everyone though, Minato, Kushina and even the Kyuubi looked at her, there was a silence.
"How will you get in?" Minato asks trying to break the tension.
"You forget something pretty boy." Kushina giggled at this, whilst Minato frowned and grumbled something. "I am Uzumaki by blood, and not only that, I was the first person to ever hold chakra in my system I know how it all works, plus I could do things with seals that would make your jaw drop." Naruko said.
