Naruto: Legacy of the Rinnegan
Prologue: The Eyes of a God
By XWiishireX
Long ago there was a man.
No one knows what he looks like, what kind of person he was or even what his real name is. All we do know is his legacy.
Although many believe them to be fairytale.
Hundreds, maybe even thousands of years ago, the man had discovered an energy inside of his body the likes of which had never been seen before. The man had eventually unravled what the mysterious properties of this energy were. Chakra, as he named it, was a mixture of both physical energy present in every cell of the body, and spiritual energy gained from exercise and experience; he also found out that there were 361 different points in the body which chakra exit from, also known as Tenketsu's. He created hundreds of techniques (a.k.a. Jutsus) after he managed to manipulate this energy, the easiest of the ways he had discovered was to use Hand-seals that allowed him to mold the chakra to use Jutsus. The twelve basic hand-seals were: Tori, I, Inu, Tatsu, Ushi, Tora, Mi, Ne, Uma, Saru, U and Hitsuji. There were also 5 different natures mainly used by the man: Hi, Kaze, Kaminari, Tsuchi and Mizu; combining two (possibly more) of the elements together could also create sub-elements such as Kori and Ki.
And though many things about him were forgotten, chakra had a growing place in the world.
However, one of the lesser known facts about the already relatively unknown man, was that he was the worlds first Jinchuriki, as he was host to the Jubi, a demon with foul chakra and a single powerful eye. Upon sealing the massive beast into himself, he became Rikudo Sennin, the Shinobi no Kami and Kono Yo no Kyuseishu.
And by sealing the beast into himself, he gained some of the power from it's eye, one that allowed him control over gravity, reality, and life and death itself.
He gained the Rinnegan and became a God.
Shortly before his death, he divided up the Jubi's power and created Nine Tailed Beasts. The Ichibi no Shukaku, the Nibi no Bakeneko, the Sanbi no Kyodaigame, the Yonbi no Saru, the Gobi no Irukauma, the Rokubi no Namekuji, the Nanabi no Kabutomushi, the Hachibi no Kyogyu and the Kyuubi no Yoko. He then used his greatest gravity ability, the Chibaku Tensei to store the Jubi's body; this ball of gravity gathered various pieces of earth together to form a bigger spherical object that would eventually become the Moon.
The Sage had two sons who inherited the Sage's traits; his eldest received his "eyes": his powerful chakra and spiritual energy. The youngest received the Sage's "body": his will and physical energy. On his deathbed, he declared the youngest son his successor to carry on his legacy of peace. The eldest became angered by this and attacked his younger brother, starting a long and bloody war between the two and their clans: the Uchiha and Senju clans. But their stories are for another time.
Short, but its a frakin prologue, so eat it. Anyway,here is the beginning of my first story involving Naruto with the Rinnegan. Thanks to some recent revelations in the manga, this can work good and still be reasonable, even if fan-fiction mainly uses facts that don't have anything to do with the cannon story. But I digress and say "I NEED A BETA! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!". Anyways, R&R and all that crap.
