Prologue: Death is only the Beginning

'Ripples…'

'Ripples everywhere…'

'Where am I?' Floating in the middle of a watery void, the young man felt underwater yet he didn't feel distressed at all. If anything he wished to sink even deeper to escape the pain within his chest…he clutched his chest, right above his heart as bubbles of air escaped his mouth instead of an agonizing scream. He felt cold…so very cold…

*Jolt*

Dark electricity flared out his navel, keeping him from shutting his eyes.

'What the hell!' he pulled his hand from above his heart to his navel, and then he noticed the blood covering his palm.

'I'm bleeding…'

"Yes you are…" a chilling voice reverberated through the place, "And it's more of Limbo than Hell."

This time the voice felt right beside him, looking to his side he witnessed in all his glory the white masked Grim Reaper, the Shinigami 'I'm dead aren't I.'

"What gave it away your lack of a heartbeat or my charming personality?" Shinigami deadpanned clearly bored, "To put it bluntly yes you're dead but you're soul isn't."

'I don't understand…Sasuke killed me.'

"Yes he did but before your time, you finished off the major enemies of your land Akatsuki, Tobi, Kabuto etc, etc…brought peace to the lands blah, blah…and all the while you were still screwed over by Konoha. Denied your heritage, your right to marriage and your dream of being Hokage…I have to ask what the hell have you been smoking boy!" Shinigami spoke frustrated "Countless scenarios were done and what you did was the least possible result, you should've just burned them all and started anew."

'And give them the satisfaction of proving their words right!'

"As if their words would matter, look where it landed you…killed by your so called best friend after being forced to watch the murder of Shion and your unborn child. You were the Elemental Nation's Hero, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and you died without even an heir to carry on your name."

'Will you send me back so that I can kill Sasuke and Sakura…?'

"It is not right for the dead to walk among the living a whole lot of laws would be broken resulting in a giant pile of paperwork and a major migraine for me." Shinigami waved his hand and continued "But you don't have to worry of punishing those two clowns, the village had finally turned around about you, too little too late though but they did turn around and instead of praising Sasuke and Sakura they screamed for their heads. Shocked Sasuke escaped, Sakura was captured and was punished by Tsunade for what she did to Shion."

'Was she not executed?'

"Oh, Sakura was carrying the child of the Uchiha, so Tsunade ordered the capture of Sasuke Uchiha before Sakura's term is over. The same day that you were killed representatives from the other villages appeared there with some proposals for their great savior, but seeing you dead they spread the word to their Kage needless to say they were enraged and ordered a kill on sight on Sasuke Uchiha's ass, he soon became the most unpopular man in the Nations, even the Samurai who remain neutral sought his head, but Tsunade convinced them to change their orders to capture by any means necessary."

'No doubt because of the civilian council hounding her…'

"Unlikely cause Tsunade and the Shinobi Council tore apart the Civilians after it was revealed that you were the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, anyway you good friend Kazekage Gaara Sabaku personally fought and brought down Sasuke, ironic justice that Sasuke killed you when both your arms and legs were broken so were his crushed beyond recognition by Gaara. It was nearly nine months by now and Sasuke was brought before Sakura who despite desperate pleas from Sasuke was poisoned by Tsunade killing her child first and then her, and Sasuke wasn't killed no he was given a much worse fate, his eyes were put out, using her knowledge of poisons she gave him one that sterilized him and she threw him in a cell to rot for the remainder of his days."

'So ends the Uchiha line.'

"Not really Itachi Uchiha secretly married a Kunoichi from Frost and sired 4 kids." Seeing Naruto's look of surprise and apprehension, "Don't worry they are a much better and humble lot, they learned from both their parents that the Sharingan doesn't make you invincible and are well aware of both their father's deeds and their uncle's who they share no love of and shed no tears for his punishment. If any tears they shed it was for their unborn cousin who was punished for the sins of the parents. At the moment I think those kids their mother and her family moved to Konoha forging an alliance with Frost and perhaps renewing the Uchiha in new light. But they do have their work cut out for them."

'I hope they have no hardships in their endeavors.'

"They won't, now moving on to your predicament… the reason you're here and not moved on is because of Kyūbi tethering her soul to yours in an attempt to bring you back but your body has already died so I can't let you back, but I've been speaking with Kyūbi for a while now trying to convince her to release your soul but she wouldn't budge and so I struck a deal with her, I'd send you back in an alternate realm alive as yourself along with the souls of all the women who fell for you, now she has already moved to your physical body to prepare it for you and the women's souls including Shion' have been sent back…and it's time for you to go as well."

Seeing his questioning look, Shinigami answered "Don't fret, Kyūbi took your chakra with her and all your memories knowledge and skill is imbedded in your soul so you'll carry that with you once you move into your new body, you'll merge with the existing soul gaining whatever memories or skills it possesses as well. A word of caution as you go this world is a hell of a lot more trouble than your own."

Naruto raised an eyebrow but question that statement, remembering something he asked 'How long was I dead and what did you mean proposals?'

"Well time has no meaning in this place no doubt you feel like you've died no more than five minutes ago because honestly in here that's all the time that's elapsed and by proposals…what do you think." Shinigami spoke knowingly, Naruto's eyebrow twitched feeling that Shinigami was giving him a perverted smile behind the mask. Shinigami raised a finger "Do me a favor, would you use some swords while you're at it."

Naruto lightly nodded giving the Shinigami a smirk, Shinigami laughed "You are the only guy who has smiled at me twice, me! The death god! First as an infant now as a soul, you'd probably be the only man who could ever claim to meet me in person twice."

"Well then without further adieu, bye… bye…" Shinigami pushed Naruto lightly downwards, Naruto soon felt himself fall without any resistance speeding away by the second.

'Ahh…' was all that escaped his lips.
