A/N: This is my first non-crossover story. The pairing is Naruto and Hinata. It takes place after the fall of Akatsuki. This will feature some original characters in later chapters. The first chapter is basically a recap of fictional events which had not transpired in the manga. You can skip this chapter if you want.
Chapter One.
Peace, peace has finally come to the world. Many months of fighting, loss of life mourned, and secrets revealed. All of that had come to an end. He remembered the final battle he had with the Akatsuki, how he and his best friend, Uchiha Sasuke, finally reunited and together defeated the last two members of that evil organization. Yes, he remembered it all, the death of his teacher, Jiraiya. He learned the truth of who his parents were, Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina. He remembered the man responsible for setting the nine-tailed demon fox, the Kyuubi no Youko, loose upon his village, Uchiha Madara.
He was the man responsible for taking away their families, and those of countless others. Because of him Sasuke lost his family, he was the teacher of Sasuke's older brother, Itachi. If it wasn't for Madara, Itachi might have been different, he would have never learned of the Mangekyo Sharingan and Sasuke would have not been the last of the Uchiha. Because of him his father, the Yondaime Hokage, would not have had to sacrifice his life and seal the Kyuubi into his son the save the village; he would not have been hated by the entire village he helped save.
The final battles were still fresh in his mind. They were destined to fight, the two students of Jiraiya, one chosen to bring destruction to the world and the other to change it for the good of all. It was brutal, with the Rin'negan Pein had the mastery of every ninja technique available and he was relentless; he attacked him with all his might but Pein stood, unscathed, in his true body, the others having been destroyed with the help of his friends.
But even with all of his strength, he lost, it was because of him, his ability to change people's hearts, to give them courage. Slowly he changed, Pein's mind getting weaker, returning to that of who he used to be, Nagato, the one who wanted nothing more than to protect his friends. Seeing the monster he'd become, Pein struggled with himself and saw that he was not the one to unite the the world. He stood his ground as he openly accepted a fully developed Rasenshuriken which obliterated him completely, sending him to go be with his beloved friends who he had failed to protect.
Then was the fight with Madara, the man to have unlocked the final secret of the Sharingan and gained immortality. Sasuke had wanted to kill him on his own but Madara was too strong for him. Sasuke teamed up with his best friend and fought Madara together, but Madara had the upper hand; with his permanent Mangekyo Sharingan he controlled the kyuubi within the jinchuriki and weakened the seal holding him in causing the kyuubi's power's and influence to control him. He sent the jinchuriki, who now sported his demon fox cloak with six tails, to attack his friend.
Sasuke fought back trying to evade every blow sent at him, but he was not faring well. When it seemed like all hope was lost Sasuke had, with the help of their old teacher Kakashi, activated his own Mangekyo Sharingan and delved deep into the tortured mind of his friend. Inside the familiar jail of the Kyuubi his friend stood behind the bars with the demon fox holding him in his grasp. He stuggled to release the kyuubi's grip on his friend, using almost all of his chakra in the process, in the end the jinchuriki fought back as well. It was due to their strong bond with each other that he finally broke free ad with the help of Sasuke used his new powers to pin Madara. He and his 'brother' finally struck the last blow as they both plucked out Madara's eyes, ending his immortality and his life.
All that had occurred about a month ago. He was finally back in Konohagakure as they prepared their grand festival to celebrate the fall of Akatsuki. This is his journey as he continues to train to get stronger to become the Hokage. This is his story, the story of Uzumaki Naruto!
End Chapter One
A/N: Well there is the beginning of my story which will focus on Naruto and his quest to stop a new villain with plans to bring about the end of the world. Sorry if the chapter seemed bland due to lack of an actual fight.
