Naruto: Alicization
Premise: When Eugeo fell to the Administrator, his Fluctlight refused to completely disperse. Instead, unbound by the laws of matter, it searched through time and space to find the individual who would carry on his will. Naruto Uzuamki.
Chapter 1: Alicization Beginning
Underworld, Kirito's PoV (Spoiler Start)
"Eugeo-!"
My scream was yet again buried in the howls of raging electromagnetic noise this time. The surging shock waves crashed into me and sent me flying to the south window. Riding out the shock waves behind a sword stabbed in the floor, a part of the sword golem until a few minutes ago, I staggered to my feet and looked- At Administrator who stood on the floor with her own two feet, pressing down on the wound at her right shoulder with her left hand. And two large, broken pieces lying at her feet.
A dim, white radiance was still resided on Eugeo's broken sword. But it pulsed, just like the beating of a heart, as its brilliance faded away to nothing, all while I stared at it in a daze. The white sword fragments lost their substance as one and gradually began returning to a human form. The fragment from the heart of the blade to where it tapered off became the lower half of a body. And the fragment including the crossed guard became the upper half of a body. Eugeo had his eyelids shut while his right hand, atop his breast, held a crystal prism. It happened then, when his flaxen hair and milky skin regained the tangibility of a human. A terrifying amount of blood gushed out from both severed parts of his body, immediately soaking Administrator's bare feet.
"Ah… Ah..."
The squeaky voice wrung out from my own throat seemed to come from far away.
Ocean Turtle: Rath (Spoiler End)
Inside one of the many fluctlight cubes housed in the Ocean Turtle, the light seemed to fade. However, before it could fade completely, its machine housing shattered, and the light regained its luster, before vanishing.
Village Hidden in the Leaves – End of the Yondaime Hokage Era
The 4th Hokage had just completed his final task, sealing the Nine-tailed demon fox into a newborn infant. Sarutobi Hiruzen, the late 3rd Hokage, grimaced at the scene he had walked into. The 4th Hokage and a red-haired woman lie dead, draped over a makeshift sealing altar, deep in the woods outside of Konoha. Centered atop the altar was a crying, bloody infant with only the barest hints of blonde hair.
Hiruzen carefully walked over and picked up the crying child, and slowly began his trek back to the village proper. With muted tones, he gave the order.
"Incinerate this entire site."
His ANBU Black Ops minders did not respond, but instead, quietly went about the task they were just assigned. They weren't any less at grief than himself, of that, he was certain. It was with a realization that he noticed the child in his arms had stopped crying at some point. Looking down, the blue eyes seemed to be looking at something that was unseen to himself. 'Perhaps, the specters of his parents are bidding him their final farewell', Hiruzen pondered.
That which the infant saw was not as he had hoped. In the child's eyes was a faint mist of light enthralled him until it seeped into his form. A bout of exhaustion hit the infant, and his eyes closed to sleep.
The Sealed Realm
The Kyubi raged to an absent audience. He wished, begged, and plead directly to the seal holding his new, yet old, cage shut. Hoping against hope that something would free him from another lifetime of imprisonment. The ancient being was only met with unforgiving silence. Then, as though by divine intervention, something began to take shape inside the prison cell with him.
As if matter of the mortal realm had hold inside this Sealed Realm, a pocket of air on the back side of the sealed lock began to become misty. Hydrogen and oxygen were fusing to become water vapor, which defied gravity and hung in place. Once a substantial mist had been formed, the water all seemed to get sucked in to the center of its form, as if by a black hole. The water continued to condense itself, until it took on the form of a sword, with a rose design in the cross guard. Then it froze solid.
From nowhere, chakra, the combination of spiritual and physical energies, filled the sword of ice. From it, the Kyubi could feel the essence of the sword, and could not understand. While not unusual for relics to live as long as the Kyubi itself, the ancient density and feel of the energy filling this sword rivaled himself.
The phenomena was not finished, and the Kyubi was keen to bare witness to the entire event. He was not let down.
At the foot of the gate, seemingly standing on the shallow flood waters, a specter of a man unknown to the Kyubi took shape. The ghostly apparition bore full plate armor, similar to those that the Kyubi had once seen on the Knight Continent. The armor was blue and silver. The man wearing it had flaxen hair that rest messily atop his head. Unlike the sword, this mans chakra was faint, as though near death.
"Who are you?"
The Kyubi almost reeled at having realized that it used the human's language to ask such a question of the inert curiosity before him. He observed as the man's eyes weakly opened – blue, the Kyubi idly memorized – and regarded him. Without replying, the man closed his eyes, but did speak, and the Kyubi certainly heard.
[Release Recollection].
The sword moved. It turned to aim at the lock and sunk itself into it. Before suddenly, ice seemed to flow from the contact point. Like crashing waves, it spread out across the cage doors, thorny vines and roses of ice sprouting along its surface. When it reached the bottom of the cage, and made contact with the man that stood inert, it seemed to encapsulate the man, as if granting him a coffin of ice. Instead of continuing to spread, the shallow flood waters began to freeze, and the Kyubi swiftly lifted its paws to get them out of the areas of the water before they froze, then setting them back on the solid ice.
The phenomena seemingly over with, the Kyubi marveled at the changes to his enclosure, and at the man who now slumbers at the center of it all. It was as though the man was still trying to protect something from the Kyubi in his dying state. The ancient sword responded to the weak mans will, of that, the Kyubi was certain.
The Kyubi pushed his chakra against the gate, and instead of shattering the ice, as he had expected, his chakra seemed to dissipate, and be sucked into the roses of ice, which then seemed to grow in response. His test complete, the Kyubi lied down, only mildly irritated by the now chilled environment.
"This... shall be different."
Hokage Office
Hiruzen observed the strange change in color of the boy's seal. It had gone from the black ink it was written in, into some strange ice-blue color. Verifying that the seal was intact, he leaned back into his reclaimed desk and sighed.
"Your parents would have had you named Uzumaki Naruto. I have no intent to change that. I will do what I can for you, but this will be an uphill battle for everyone involved for some time."
