Another attempt by me to make a good fanfic.
Don't own Naruto or anything that is obviously made by someone else.

Prologue.
.
Naruto was six years old and was well aware that he was different from other children.
The majority of the adults in the village didn't like him, in fact they usually had either a cold, hateful or frightened look in their eyes and children tend to take after their parents so Naruto had no real friends his age either.
But while the unexplained dislike was strange, Naruto knew that he was stranger.
He never could explain it but he has always known, always felt that he was different than all the other kids in the village.
He has noticed that he heals much faster than any other person, any injuries be they big or small were gone within a day at the very most, he also seems to need much lest food and water then other children his age and finally he has six perfectly shaped magatama looking birthmarks on his collarbones, resembling a necklace.
And there was one time when he stumbled upon a training ground where two Shinobi were sparring, a strange itch appeared in his eyes for a split second during which he could both see and feel the chakra being used by the Shinobi.
He never told anyone about that however, not even the Hokage who gave him an apartment and on rare occasions visited him, not sure why since the man has always been nice to him but something just gave him the feeling that it would be a bad idea.
Nor did he talk about the dreams he has every night, the dreams of emerald green gassy fields under a moon that shines like the sun, a rabbit and a tree.
That night however, his dreams will teach him the truth about himself and just how different he is from the people of Konoha.
.
That Night: Within the Dreams.
Naruto was once again standing on the grassy fields of his dreams.
Only this time his mind was in a dreamlike haze but instead focused like when he is awake.
He saw the tree and the rabbit not far from him, the rabbit looking straight at him.
'Naruto' a soft voice called and the child actually felt the love in the voice like it was a tangible thing and was drawn towards its source… the rabbit.
As he neared both the rabbit and the tree shimmered and changed, by the time he reached them a woman and a man stood in their place.
The woman was in possession of very delicate facial features, she also had long, sweeping crimson red hair that touched the ground, rather noticeably were two horn like protrusions which stuck out from her head resembling rabbit ears. She possessed the Byakugan, and also had a third eye on the center of her forehead that's eyelids parted vertically and for the moment was closed, her red eyebrows were cut very short a common symbol of nobility, and she wore a dark shade of red lipstick on her lips and a similar colored nail polish on her long fingernails. She wore the transitional high-collared hime-kimono which was adored with intricate lines and tomoe running down the center and edges of the gown.
The man was a fairly tall, fair-skinned with spiky, blond hair, his eyes were red and had at least five concentric circles and three tomoe one each of the four circles closest to the pupil, he also had jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face, his attire consisted of a standard Konoha-nin uniform with two bands each on both of his sleeves, a leaf green flak jacket, and blue sandals and a short-sleeved long white haori over his normal attire, decorated by orange flames-like motifs on the edges and closed on the front by a thin, orange rope.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked them even if he was pretty such who the man was seeing who the person he looked like was very famous.
The woman responded by sitting down in front of him, pulling him into her lap and embracing him tightly to her chest before speaking.
"We are your parents, my precious little child" she told him, earning a shocked look from the boy, who quickly accepted her words as truth due to his desire for them to indeed be true and clung to her afraid this might all be another dream.
After calming down and getting a hug from his father, the two parents then proceeded to explain just who and what they are.
The father begins.
"I have gone by several names and for a time believed my true name was Minato Namikaze, however it is not my original name nor am I even a human despite my appearance, in truth I am the Shinju (God Tree), a primordial existence that was the very first thing to grow from this world's soil, I honestly don't know how my seed came to be or how it ended up on this world, all I knew was that I existed and I was to survive, grow and eventually achieve my most important purpose,
It was actually that purpose that lead to my downfall, you see many years ago before the age of Shinobi I was revered as a deity by the human that had crawled out of the mud and built their little civilizations and for some reason kept trying to kill each other for whatever silly things they believed to be a justified reason to do so.
It was during one of the large wars that 'SHE' appeared, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki a princess who wanted the power to end the wars and gained by stealing my fruit and eating it.
She gained great power from it, unsurprising as I had been putting so much of my power in it without bothering to rest and recover that I was unable to stop her from taking it In the first place.
Kaguya takes over the explanation.
As your father said I am Princess Kaguya of the Ōtsutsuki Clan but during the time I gave birth to you I was known as Kushina Uzumaki.
The Ōtsutsuki clan originated from another world, having arrived to this one over 1,000 years ago, we had a similar but unusual anatomy compared to humans such as horns and we were also adapted to living in what to humans were uninhabitable environments.
Our original world had ended years before our arrival and the only reason my clan survived was due to an strange vessel capable of transporting people across the stars that had been left to us by an even for us ancient civilization that I believe created my kind before dying out.
After arriving here my clan saw the violence of the human and decided to hide away from it all, I however wanted to end it and bring peace which leads me to wanting power and stealing your father's fruit to get it.
I became known as the Rabbit Goddess for using the power of Chakra I gained from eating the fruit I to single-handedly end the wars.
For a time the wars were gone and my clan and I lived peacefully alongside the rest of the world, only having to truly interfere whenever a foolish human started to disrupt the peace.
Sadly the peace unsurprisingly was almost broken years later by my own at the time husband, I never liked him all that much since it was an arranged marriage but I honestly was hurt when I found out that he had been forcing everyone in the surrounding lands to pay him tributes under the threat of unleashing me upon them.
And when I confronted him about it he had the nerve to act as if he had done nothing wrong, the straw that broke the camel's back however was when he tried to force me to submit to him by threatening to send our children far away so I can't see them.
I was furious, even more so when many of my clan members agreed with him, having started to look down on the people whom they viewed as inferior beings, I was enraged the point that I used the Tsukuyomi for the first time and my ex-husband was left little more than a puppet without any strings.
This turned many of my clan against me and with people enraged by the tyranny enforced using my name, I had few that I could trust and so I tried to once again bring peace, this time by giving people who caused trouble along with anyone who asked to join a paradise for each and every one of them, using a more powerful Tsukuyomi.
The Infinite Tsukuyomi.
In it everyone would live forever in happiness and joy, a side effect was their bodies slowly being altered but since they would no longer need them it was not really important.
It all came to an end when my own sons disagreed and using the powerful chakra they had inherited from me to infer with it causing not only the infinite tsukuyomi to be released but also shattering the moon so that it could never be cast again.
People's time in paradise had clouded their minds and memories, making them forget that many of them asked to be placed in it and now feared me, believing I really was a demon and would flee in terror should they see me.
And so I lived alone, feared and betrayed by both the people I saved and my own family.
My eldest child Hagoromo tried to bring peace to the lands that he himself was responsible for being ravaged by war by spreading his ideals and religion, ninshū.
Hagoromo spread chakra to others, intending for the chakra to connect people's spiritual energy so that they would understand one another without even talking, which is what was called Ninshū, with his goal being to lead the world toward peace.
However, people did not use it in the way my son had hoped, instead they used the chakra to connect their inner spiritual and physical energies, they then kneaded their inner chakra to amplify and weaponize it, becoming what is now known as ninjutsu.
And to think he actually looked confused when I told he was to blame for the wars.
I was actually planning on interfering with the world again and find some way to fix things without my sons ruining it by being stubborn, shortsighted and naïve idiots, before I could think of something I felt something calling to me and I followed to call.
It was then I truly meet your father.
Minato/Shinju takes over the explanation again.
Having rested and recovered a fair amount of my power, I sought to reclaim my stolen power which I quickly found out had been spread out among the humans who now possessed watered-down amounts of it.
I used my powers to call out to your mother and when she arrived I demanded that she return not only the chakra she had gain from her theft of my fruit but all the chakra that had spread across the world as a result of the theft.
I was honestly surprised when she apologized and admitted that chakra is not something that should be in the hands of humans or even her own people.
After talking we eventually decided to literally combine our powers, Kaguya became my eye and I uprooted myself and started to take back the chakra.
As we worked on correcting things, we talked, became friends and I even forgave her for the theft of my fruit as her intentions had been pure and she was willing to help make up for what she had done, being so close to her soul actually made me decide that I would allow her and only her to keep the gift of chakra.
Sadly eventually her two brats came and screwed everything up again.
We were confronted by Hagoromo and his younger brother Hamura,
Kaguya became upset and depressed that he children were causing trouble again which made it difficult for me to use both the eye she had become and my chakra due to hers being in turmoil from her emotions.
They and I battled for hours and since I was both handicapped and had not completely recovered, they eventually started to push me back.
It was near the end of the battle that I realized I was actually going to lose and be sealed away, but I quickly came up with a plan to win even if I lost.
I possessed an ability called Fission, which allows me to produce replicas of myself from my main body in various shapes and sizes, using this ability I was able to create a human replica made from parts of my very core and soul making it more of an extension of myself than anything else.
That part of me was then hidden in a pod and buried in the ground without the two brothers noticing as they sealed me away into Hagoromo, with my main body sealed away the remaining part was to lay dormant for a time before awakening and free the rest of myself when the opportunity showed itself.
The plan however failed since the pod containing that part of me was damaged right at the end of the battle by a stray shoot, as a result not only did I lay dormant for many years before awakening but the connection between my main body and it was weakened to the point where I could no longer remember what my purpose was.
So when that part of me woke up I was little more than an amnesiac child that was found, put in an orphanage and given the name, Minato Namikaze.
And so I lived as a human, unaware of my real self.
Kaguya/Kushina takes over the explanation again.
As for me, when my son started to seal our chakra into himself I honestly had enough of his, his brother's, my family's and the people's stupidity.
Noticing what Shinju did to get around being completely sealed I used the last of my power and my body as a sacrifice to created two 'backdoors' into the living world again just before Shinju and I were sealed.
These doors were entities created using my Will Materialization that when the time was right would also use Will Materialization to take over a compatible host which would be my new vessel.
However until it was time the entities would hide themselves within my son's bloodline.
Hagoromo's own sons and my grandchildren, Indra and Asura.
The two like their father were morons who try to do what I had already done and bring peace.
And even if they both want the same thing two were as night and day.
Indra was the first son, inheriting his father's eyes, his powerful chakra, and spiritual energy, from a young age, he demonstrated great talent towards ninshū and anything he applied his mind to but because of his prowess, he lead a solitary life, recognizing his own talents, Indra became proud and independent, determined to walk his own path unaided, finding no need to depend on others.
He believed that force and strength was the ultimate key to peace.
As for Asura, as a child, he lived in his genius brother's shadow in every conceivable way, having displayed no natural talent himself, because of this, Asura came to realize the value of others and the power of depending on and cooperating with others like the many friends and allies he made before eventually through sheer hard work and determination awakened his own power which equaled that of Indra's.
Asura believed that love was the ultimate key to peace.
One Hagoromo's deathbed sometime after creating the tailed beasts he used the Chibaku Tensei to seal the husk of your father's main body into a new moon using the remains of the moon he and his brother destroyed in the first place,
Hamura having decided to become the new head of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and for reason I cannot begin to imagine used the vessel that brought the clan to this world and the last of its fuel to with the exception of his brother, two nephews and three daughters who wished to stay, move the now very small clan to the recreated moon where they would live and 'guard' what they all called the Ten-Tails.
It was then time for Hagoromo to choose which of his sons would be his successor and carry on his dreams of peace for the world.
He choose Asura having been inspired his ideals long before it was time to choose, in fact it was Asura's ideals that made Hagoromo decide to use the Creation of All Things to separate mine and your father's chakra into nine tailed beasts, which he in turn had great hopes for.
Indra however refused to accept this,
And so Indra and Asura would fight a pointless war, a war their children and children's children would continue to fight.
It was however a good thing they never succeeded in getting rid of the other since they each had one of my entities in them and would eventually bring about my rebirth.
But they each would do it in different ways.
Indra's was much like himself very forceful, the host's mind and soul would be quickly and brutally crushed and the body would draw in any available chakra to recreate my body as close to my original appearance and power as possible.
Asura's was much slower, the host's mind and soul was not destroyed but would from birth be slowly made into my own, bit by bit pieces would be absorbed and replaced until the host became me without even knowing it and when the time was right I would reawaken my dormant mind and power.
Kushina Uzumaki was that host, while a distant relative of Asura's mainline, she was at the moment of her birth deemed the most likely to carry one Mito Uzumaki's role as a Jinchūriki due to possessing a special chakra.
This was one of the reasons that made my Will within Asura's line to choose her out of all those born since its creation, since not only did my host have to be a healthy female but also have enough chakra that I will not be to weak when I reawaken that I might be killed.
And so I was slowly reborn into the world, by the time I unknowingly meet your father again I was already one third Kaguya.
.
Both Minato and Kushina explains.
(Instead Cannon Backstory Here… Yes I know it is lazy but unless you don't read or watch the Naruto series you already know how things go and if you don't keep up with the Naruto series then there is really no point in you reading this fanfic to begin with, so if you want at description, read the manga or watch the anime).
.
Back to Minato.
It was during the sealing that I finally became aware of my true self, you see when the Yin-half of the Fox's chakra sealed into me it repaired my connection with my main body and mind.
The Shinigami then devoured the part of my soul in my human form but my two minds had already fused back together and I can use the chakra I sealed in here to repair the seal to stay in contact even with my Shinju body unmoving and far away.
Kushina.
Much like your father, I too became aware of my true self and merged my memories and personality into one as I was dying from being impaled on the Fox's claw and again like your father I have chakra sealed in you that can act as a way for me to stay with you even if I'm dead again in the outside world until I'm revived once more.
Explanation Over… finally.
The revealed Princess planted a soft kiss on her son's forehead.
"And we'll always be here for you my sweet little prince, not even death has been able to stop us" she told him.
The two parents looked down lovingly at their child who was softly snoring in his mother's embrace.
Wait… snoring?
They wondered if they should do an anime sweat drop or an anime eye twitch since Naruto had fallen asleep and probably hadn't heard their story.
"… We'll try again when he wakes up" Minato said as he got an anime sweat drop on the back of his head.
"…" Kushina had the anime eye twitch as she looked at her son.
.
.
And Prologue Complete.
I have yet to find a fanfic in which Naruto is the child of Shinju or Kaguya or both so I figured I'd try doing one.
