Naruto Shippuden: Fates
Chapter 1: A New Journey Awaits! The Sage of Six Path's Request!
"Uzumaki Naruto, I commend you for your victory over my mother Kaguya, and freeing the Tailed Beasts from your friends clutches. However, you can no longer stay in the ninja world."
These are the words of the Sage of Six Paths, Otsusuki Hagoromo. Currently, Naruto and Hagoromo are currently in the blond shinobi's mindscape, praising the orange maelstrom for his efforts in protecting the world.
"…. W-why? I mean I freaking went through hell just to be accepted, gained friends all over the world, stopped a madman from taking over my home, defeated the mother of all chakra, and saved my best friend from the darkness, just to have someone tell me that I don't have any purpose to stay in my birth world anymore?! What the hell is going on grandpa six?!"
Naruto hissed. To say that the Nine Tails Jinchuuriki, was livid was an understatement. Having all of that stripped from you can break a man soul into pieces.
"My boy, you finally quelled the hatred between Asura, and Indra. The Cycle of Hatred is no more. By breaking that hate, you undid the cycle of reincarnation. Now both of my children's spirits, can rest in peace. You may ask what does that have to do with you, but I will explain everything." The wise sage explained.
Naruto sighed, he had a feeling something he was about to say was of the utmost importance, so he would heed the legendary man's words, and come to a conclusion afterwards.
"Now, there is a task with what I can entrust only you to do, I do not know the name of this world, but I will tell you all my knowledge of it, along with your mission."
The Sage said. He then explaned every detail he knew, from the story of dragons, to the arising conflict between two kingdoms called Nohr and Hoshido, and how one boy is to be caught in a crossfire between the two.
"So, this kid called Corrin is a prince of Hoshido and Nohr, but was kidnapped by Nohr at an early age, and raised by the ones who snuck away with him. Hmmmmm… I get the feeling that there's more to the story than just the obvious. And since I have the power to bring people together, you want me to help this guy and bring both kingdoms together….. Alright old man! You can count on me!" Naruto said enthusiastically.
"I knew I could count on you my boy, but. There is something you must lose first in order to leave and start your mission." Hagoromo said.
"W-what is it"? He flinched.
"You must forget your world, for your emotions with the past will only hinder you mission, and every second spent there will matter greatly, your decisions will put the lives of your comrades on the line with each passing second." The sage noted.
"I….I… I accept. I mean, I do hope that I would at least said goodbye to everyone, but…. If the worlds are all connected somehow, and passing between one and another is possible. Then I have no doubt that the afterlife is all under one blue sky Ya Know?" Naruto commented. He knew he would see everyone again, because he knows just how stupid his luck could be at times.
"I couldn't have said it any better myself, now go Naruto and bring peace once again!" old man six said.
"You got it!" and with that, Naruto was off, fading away in a blinding light before he heard two familiar words.
"Happy Birthday, Young Hero." Hagoromo whispered.
