Prologue: Release

In the ruins of a long abandon tower inside a forest, an old man of unknown age lay on a broken desk contemplating his past. The old man knew he was dying, but he doesn't care. He was too engrossed in the flashbacks of what used to be his life.

He saw himself alone and beaten inside the village of his birth.

He saw himself finding his few precious people.

He saw himself fighting battles that he was clearly not prepared for.

He saw himself winning these battles.

Then he shivered and sobbed.

He saw his failure to protect those he swore to protect.

He saw the moment of death of each of his precious persons.

He saw the destruction of the village he swore to protect.

Lastly,

He saw his broken promises.

He saw the destruction.

He saw the creation of an evil dynasty that has enslaved humanity.

The old man is now crying freely, but suddenly, it all stopped.

At that moment, in the abandoned room of what used to be the Hokage's office in the now desolated village hidden in the leaf, Uzumaki Naruto, died. He died in what used to be the village he once sworn to protect. He died in the abandoned office he once dreamed to be his. He died as a broken old man whose dreams and promises went unfulfilled.

Uzumaki Naruto died without completing the tasks that the gods assigned him.

Uzumaki Naruto died alone and a failure.
