Good evening ladies and gentlemen, tonight, austinjak0 presents the debut of his version of Naruto: Emperor of the west.
Now, I know that this topic has been overused, but I honestly think it's a great storyline. However, I do not do Naru/Hina stuff, namely because it's far to overused as a topic. Ergo, I am deviating from this storyline and making my own.
Now then, this story will be updated when I have nothing else to do, or have hit a roadblock with all my other stories. Savior and N:EotF I have hit a roadblock with, and for N:SotG…I just feel like making you all wait a bit. I seriously need a beta to continue those other stories, so those of you who read this and have or will read my other stories, I need help! Someone to trade ideas with or somesuch.
Lastly, there will be no harem in this book. This means that I have one undecided pairing. Tell me who you think it should be; I'll consider any suggestion, but don't expect me use it.
And now, on with the show!
I do not own Naruto or any affiliated characters. The storyline is all mine, as are any and all OC's. This chapter is a proof of concept.
Imperator
Ch.1
Ancient history
Long before the forming of the ninja nations; before the Great shinobi war; before the Rikudō Sennin gave chakra to the world, there was a great civilization. This civilization spanned all of the world's continents, and had the ability, some say, to reach the stars. After several great wars, there was peace and prosperity across the world that brought advancements in technology that no one could imagine. Alas, all good things must come to an end, and the civilization fell to war and chaos. Eventually, humanity was at the brink of using its most awesome and terrifying weapons in an effort to exterminate itself. Before the darkness could take mankind, a group met in secret to prepare for the future. In an effort to preserve civilization, the group tried to seal itself away using experimental technology. By using the basic power of the most terrifying weapons, they belived that one could survive for a longer amount of time in a deep meditative state. The experiment failed in all but one subject, who slept through the hail of fire and brimstone that exterminated the great civilization. Millions died, and millions more were changed into something less than human. Those that were at the center of the devastation were made immortal by the power unleashed upon the world, eventually margining into one soulless beast that wandered the land. The remaining human survivors of this civilization scattered and fled, forming clans and cities. The great cities of old that remained standing fell into disrepair, the old occupants lost to time. The old arts fell by the wayside, and humanity entered the dark, not just in terms of intelligence, but literally as well, for great clouds blocked the sun and the moon disappeared into the great blackness of space.
Years passed. The power that had destroyed the world also forced it together, creating a massive continent out of what remained of the land. The sea devoured most of the old lands, erasing the ancient cities that lay on the surface, and whatever else remained was corrupted and damaged beyond repair. It was to this new world that this man, the supposed harbinger of civilization, awakened. When he did, he found that he was changed, and that the land did as well. Being a man of logic, he found out how to use his abilities, which he called chakra, and taught those with his abilities how to use them. Human learned to control the elements; from fire to earth, water to lightning, and some could control the growth of nature itself, or summon steel from the ground. He created peace among the chaos, and started a family. With his wife, he had two sons and a daughter. To his sons, he gave the gifts of power and wisdom, but to his daughter, he taught that she was to be the cradle for a new civilization, greater than the last. With them at his side, a true era of peace began, and civilization began to rebuild.
The immortal beast eventually felt the fear that it had caused subsiding, and confronted the man with all its fury. The man held fast, and fought back, eventually managing to defeat the beast by sealing it within himself, and using its remains to create a new moon. The man aged quickly with such a source of malice within him, and soon died, splitting the beast into nine parts based on their traits, and sent them to the far corners of the world. His children, charged with taking up the burden of peace, failed, each having a different ideas on how to achieve it.
The eldest son believed that power was the key to peace. He and his followers created the Uchiha clan to create peace through power. This power came from their eyes, an ability that was eventually called Sharingan.
The youngest son believed in peace through wisdom and patience. He and his followers created the Senju clan to create peace through wisdom. Their unshakeable beliefs and immovable morals manifested themselves in the ability to create the immovable tree; Mokuton.
The daughter though believed that peace could be reached through understanding and leadership, as well being able to laugh or make peace with any situation. She and her followers believed that a mix of emotions and inner strength was the key to peace. Naming it after her father and her belief in a swirl of emotions, this clan found joy in life, which lead to increased stamina and longer lives. It was called the Uzumaki clan.
And so it was that the Uzumaki clan was created, following the way of zen, which led to our mastery of seals, before the clan focused on bushido, unlike the Uchiha clan and Senju clan, who focused mainly on Bushido. The Uzumaki quickly became prosperous and powerful, but the world fell to darkness yet again, created by warring clans stirred up by the war between the brothers.
So years after the war began, the Uzumaki matriarch laid on her deathbed. Her last words were that she'd had a vision provided by her father. He told her that he was proud of her, and that one day her true descendant would lead the world to peace. This person would be a disregarded hero, but able to take everything that the darkness of humanity threw at him and turn it into light. They would be his true heir, and the salvation of the world. They would lead a new world to greatness, under a new civilization that would not fall to darkness as his had, but rather spread light. So were her last words, and so is the prophecy of our people.-Prophecy of the Uzumaki, preserved in the history of Uzu shrine in modern day Wave country.
Cool, so that's my proof of concept. Hope you like it, will be continuing story even if you don't. Seriously need help with my other stories. Also, another chappy of N:SotG will be published Thursday.
Read and review! Ciao!
