"Gaki"- Human speaking
Back before the Hitoyo, the Human Age, was the Kamiyo, the Age of Gods. During this time, the primordials, Kami, Yami, and Shinigami, were all there was. Eventually, these three grew bored and birthed the world with their combined abilities. They then created new gods. The first was Izanami, the first woman, and Izanagi, the first man. These two birthed the gods Amaterasu, the sun goddess, Tsukuyomi, the moon goddess. The final Kami birthed was Kagutsuchi, god of flame. The birth of Kagutsuchi killed Izanami. Izanagi and Izanami also birthed the first human. This first human was the beginning of the Otsutsuki Clan.
The Okutsuki Clan were the eldest clan to exist, as their first was one of Izanami`s brood. However, he lacked the power to match his sisters and brother. Once more, the primordials stepped in again. This time, instead of creating more gods, they created more humans that Sora Okutsuki could live amongst and find love. Sora did find love, he met a young woman named Eri, and they married and had multiple children. This path continued, with the Otsutsuki family finding love and growing, and years later, Kaguya Otsutsuki was born.
In Kaguya`s early youth, the world fell into war. Humanity had discovered how to use weapons, along with their greed. They wanted more land, more resources, more everything. In Kaguya`s village, there was little fighting, but the men of her family, including her older brother, left for the war on the fringes of their territory. This war was over the possession of the Shinjuu Tree. The tree was monolithic in size, left behind by the gods in times long past, and used as a symbol of their power to which humanity prayed. It was common knowledge that the Shinjuu bore a single fruit, and whosoever shall eat the fruit, would gain strength unknown. Many had tried, ordered to by their leaders to seize power for themselves, but each time only their dried husk of bodies would fall from the top of the tree and turn to dust upon impact.
Kaguya, now a woman, tired of the fighting, climbed the tree to ask the gods for their help. She cried and begged them to end the battle, with no response. Kaguya sat on top of the tree and wailed in despair, lamenting that her endeavor was in vain, when a single branch of the tree gently wiped the tears away. The tree itself had heard Kaguya`s request and carried her to its fruit. After a few moments of waiting, Kaguya ate the Shinjuu`s fruit and gained access to a power known merely as Chakra.
Upon unlocking this ability, Kaguya changed from a simple black haired black eyed woman, into a radiant beauty with white hair, blank eyes, and a single red eye, turned on its side, ringed with nine tomoe, 3 per ring, on her forehead. Using her powers, Kaguya floated from the top of the Shinjuu, and with a single powerful command, stopped the war. Any who attempted to attack her was halted in place and brought to their knees by a look from her eyes.
For a time there was peace. Kaguya fell in love with a man named Tenji and had two children Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki. These two inherited the ability to use chakra from their mother, but in different ways. Hamura was born with his mother's "eyes", later known as the Byakugan. He also had access to the All-Killing Ash Bones but preferred not to use them unless in a life or death situation. Hagoromo, on the other hand, inherited his mother's "body". He had incredibly high reserves, even greater than his brother`s, and even greater control over those reserves. Outside of that, both of the brothers had access to Six Paths Senjutsu and a plethora of other skills. Kaguya trained her children to use their power to the fullest, and they prospered. But as they say, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely." Kaguya went mad and began ruling the land with an iron fist, killing any who would oppose her rule. Eventually, she turned on her sons, demanding they return "her" chakra to her, when they refused, Kaguya was enraged, and she merged with the Shinjuu tree itself and became the first Bijuu, the Ten-Tails. The fight between the Otsutsuki brothers and their mother lasted days, but eventually, she was defeated. Hagoromo took his mothers power from her and sealed it within himself, and sealed the body of the Ten-Tails into the moon. The Ten-Tails power gave Hagoromo a new ability, the Rinnegan.
Time moved on. The two brothers had their own families. Hamura birthed four children, two of which inherited the byakugan, and the other two inherited the All-Killing Ash Bones, but of course, it wasn't perfect. The Byakugan had gained a blind spot of one degree in the back of the head, and the ability to summon bones that reduced whatever they touched to ash had devolved into the ability to pull bones as hard as steel from the body and use them as weapons, with payoff of an almost immediate regeneration of the bones used. The ability became known as the Shikotsumyaku. These children would move on to birth the Hyuga Clan and the Kaguya Clan, respectively. Hagoromo birthed his own children, but only two. The elder, Indra Otsutsuki, inherited a weaker version of his father's eyes, which would later be known as the Sharingan. Indra would go on to birth the Uchiha Clan. The other, Asura Otsutsuki, inherited his father's body, life force, and chakra. Asura would go on to birth the Senju clan, which would split into the Uzumaki clan later on.
Over time, Hagoromo traveled the world, teaching humanity how to access their chakra, and how to use it. As Hagoromo approached the end of his life, he performed two final acts. The first of which was dealing with the power of the Ten-Tails. Using an ability of the Rinnegan "Creation of All Things", he created the NIne Tailed Beast, starting at nine tails and working down to one. He gave them names, and the ability to think for themselves. They were living beings, despite being made of chakra. They were: The Nine-Tailed Fox, Kurama, The Eight-Tailed Octopus-Ox Gyuuki, The Seven-Tailed Beetle, Chomei, The Six-Tailed Slug, Saiken, The Five Tailed Dolphin-Horse, Kokuo, The Four-Tailed Ape, Son Goku, The Three-Tailed Turtle, Isobu, the Two-Tailed Cat, Matatabi, and the One-Tailed Tanuki, Shukaku.
The second was declaring who his successor would be between his two sons. He posted a question to both of them: What is the best way to achieve peace? Indra believed that showing power and force was the best way, while Asura believed that showing kindness and love to all was the path to take. Hagoromo agreed with Asura`s belief, and declared him the successor of the title "Sage of Six Paths" He then died. Indra was enraged by this and believed he deserved the title more than his younger brother and stormed off. When he returned, he challenged his brother to a fight for the title. At first, Asura refused, but Indra began to attack his brother relentlessly, and Asura returned in kind. Like the battle of Hagoromo and Hamura versus their mother, the battle lasted days. After a while, the brothers killed each other. But the fight continued, the two brothers continued to reincarnate into their descendants' clans. The first of note was Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, their clans had been at war since the first reincarnations, who became the heads of their respective clans, killed each other. These two become quick friends, who didn't enjoy the fighting going on between the two. So, they decided to end the war and create a village, which was named Konohagakure, The Village Hidden in the Leaves. The Uzumaki, who kept themselves out of the wars, created their own village, Uzushiogakure, the Village Hidden in the Whirlpools.
After a few years of peace, it was decided that the village needed a leader, and due to them having greater numbers, the Senju, essentially, decided. Even though Hashirama pushed for Madara, he became the Shodaime Hokage, the First Fire Shadow. Madara was enraged and claimed the Senju were treating the Uchiha like secondary citizens, despite also being founders of the village, and thus, the fight between Indra and Asura`s descendants began anew. This time, Madara used his Sharingan to control Kurama and attacked the village.
After Hashirama defeated Madara, with assistance from his wife Mito Uzumaki who sealed Kurama into herself to keep him from destroying the village, Konohagakure lived peacefully. Eventually, Mito died and passed the Kurama on to Kushina Uzumaki. Kushina, who would never learn Kurama`s name and would only know him as "the Kyuubi", would eventually meet Minato Namikaze, and fall in love. These two would die resealing the Kyuubi into their son, Naruto, and thus, our story begins.
Well, everyone, there`s the prologue. I understand that there is absolutely nothing in the prologue, aside from the bit about Kaguya and how the Otsutsuki clan became the Uchiha, Hyuuga, Kaguya, and Senju clans. But it was entirely necessary to the set up of the world, especially since it explains some things that will happen later. But I promise there will be more about the current world in the future. I don`t know which story, this or TFONU, will be updated first, so just look forward to it.
