Prologue
In the beginning of time, they were explorers. They were not normal explorers. Oh no they were trained warrior guardians of their land, upholding peace to their land for thousands of years. Until the Black mages came.
They put the land into turmoil with their magic. The explorers tried to wage war over them but they we're too weak to do anything. In the midst of death came the heroes. A dragon master and one of the most gifted spearman in the land. But even they could not defeat the black mages. In one last desperate act, the dragon master and the spearman sent all the explorers away to a remote island while they stayed for a last stand.
The two heroes sacrificed themselves to seal the leader of the black mages away. But before they died, they buried sacred weapons known as maple weapons and left for it to be found for the next generation. But the explorers never came back.
Over the years the Empress of the explorers made an advanced organization called the Cygnus knights. They we're the best of the best. A force to be called upon if the Black mages ever returned to destroy them again.
Their ancestral land was forgotten in the sands of time.
But all hope was not lost. Humans started living on the forgotten island again after 2000 years. Technology advanced, new arts were made, and soon some secrets of the black mages were bound to be discovered.
There was a boy who had stumbled upon an ancient rock. The boy released the rock unleashing knowledge of the Black mages. He used the knowledge of Black mages and created what he called jutsus. The boy later became the Sage of the six paths. But all was not with consequences. When the Sage of the six paths released the rock, he also released a force that the Black mages created for the sole purpose destruction.
He had released the jubi.
The sage, filled with remorse, sealed the body of the jubi into the moon and sealed the spirit into his own body.
Years later, the sage left this world, but he had carved the path of what was known as the path of the shinobi. But these people were just imitations of the Black mages. Only scratching the surface of what their evil predecessors can do.
Years later shinobi villages were established. They had renamed the forgotten island as the Elemental nations.
And the explorers and Cygnus knights never crossed paths with the shinobi of the Elemental nations.
Until now
A nine year old Naruto was running away from a mob. Why was he running away? Apparently the day was October 10, and ironically the day of the kyuubi festival and also his birthday. Naruto did what he always did with on his birthday. Visit the Ichiruki Ramen stand, running around, and trying not to get found by drunken mobs.
Unfortunately his luck wasn't good enough.
Now he was running towards the Konoha's forest. Naruto was at his limit, but he didn't dare stop running for fear of the mob behind him.
Naruto suddenly couldn't feel anything beneath him. Oh crap Naruto thought right before he fell into a dark pit.
"Ugh, what happened" Naruto groaned. He opened his eyes to find a chest. The chest was the most beautiful chest he had ever seen even though it was warn and crusted with mud throughout the years. It had gold inlayed with in the mahogany wood and had a picture of something that resembled a kunai as the lock.
Naruto tried to stand as he made his way over to the chest.
When he had managed to get close enough, he tried to open it. But when he touched it the chest suddenly exploded into a bright light. Naruto instinctively turned away and covered his eyes. When he thought the bright light ended, he turned his head back. Where the chest once laid before, stood something that was like a gauntlet with a something like a leaf like plate on its front covering half of the gauntlet. The gauntlet itself was black and the leaf plate was red.
Put it on
Naruto turned around. "Who's there?" Naruto yelled.
Put it on
"I'm warning you! Come out!" Naruto yelled again.
Put it on
Finally overcome with curiosity Naruto picked up the gauntlet and tried to put it on.
The next thing Naruto known was searing pain. The gauntlet started melting into a shadow. The shadow started circling his pain. Naruto never noticed a dim light coming from the back of his hand. The shadow slowly burned the mark of a maple leaf on the back of his hand.
That wasn't the worse part. The worst part was a splitting headache and a rush of memories that he couldn't sort out.
You are destined for greatness
Naruto started facing consciousness.
You will start as a seed will grow into a great tree. You will set your nation correctly as it was 3000 years ago.
That was the last thing he heard before he saw blackness.
But this isn't the end. On the same day not one hero was born but two.
Hinata Hyuuga wanted to be alone right now. She was hurting all over from the spar with her cold father. He had belittled her even more than usually and had actually added chakra when they were sparring.
Hinata started running towards the other end of the forest where Naruto lost unconsciousness. Hinata stopped near a tree. This tree wasn't an ordinary tree. But Hinata didn't know that as she started climbing onto its branches, winching every now and then from the pain from her spar with her father. She found a cozy spot within the branches to sit.
Hinata stared at the endless night sky full of stars. Her mind started wandering, and soon she was fast asleep.
She didn't know what woke her up. It was either the bear beneath her or the sound of a breaking branch she was sitting on. Hinata crashed down onto the ground alerting the bear of her presence since it didn't see her up in the tree.
Hinata was frightened. She was pale as ghost thinking she was going to die. But the next moment was forever etched into history. A huge blue egg suddently dropped from the tree Hinata was sleeping in. Her fall had jarred it loose from its natural nest. The egg had a dragon symbol spreading its wings on the front.
The egg started glowing until everything within a 10 feet radius was blinded by the light. The bear was frightened and ran away. Hinata had closed her eyes to protect her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she was confronted by big beady eyes staring right at her.
"Mommy?"
Hinata tore her eyes away to find a small, light blue, flying lizard.
Not a lizard, a dragon! Hinata's eyes widened at the realization.
"Mommy?"
Hinata then realized that the dragon was talking to her. She turned her attention to it.
"Mommy I'm hungry, do you have any milk?"
Hinata didn't know what to respond to that question. The only thing she did was giggle.
"I don't have any milk with me right now but I can get some tomorrow." Hinata answered. "ok" the dragon replied, "I'm tired right now I'm going to sleep."
The dragon nestled its tiny form against hinata's body. Hinata giggled again as both of them both fell asleep against the that the Dragon Master planted 3000 years ago. And both of them never noticed the same symbol that was on the egg on the back of Hinata's hand.
