Well guys this is my first Naruto fanfic. I hope that everyone will like this story a little. A few days earlier I was hit with inspiration for this story. I know I am a little off by giving the Konoha 12 the powers of the Greek gods but I like to see it has a challenge. This chapter was just a prologue which is why it isn't that long and doesn't have much talking in it. Next chapter should be a bit longer and will begin with Naruto's childhood with his mother and father. Also I will introduce most of the main characters next chapter. I welcome advice and suggestions, as well as flames but I will block those that seem to be too harsh or unnecessary.
I hope you readers give my story a chance and enjoy. Thank you.
Ages ago, in an unknown land far to the west, a war of untold proportions wreaked the land. Beings known as the gods fought against their forefathers the Titans. These being fought with such power that the very sea rose into the air, the land gave birth to new mountains and valley's and the sky turned dark with clouds and lightning struck constantly. Humans were caught in the middle and blood flowed like rivers.
Kronos the King of the Titans and Lord if Time led his siblings and their children into a fierce battle with his son Zeus the Lord of the Sky and King of the gods. Kronos wanted control of the universe and the power and respect that the gods held from the mortals. He barged into the throne room of the gods as they held an annual meeting. Hades had been used a hostage but the Titans didn't expect him to escape. The gods fought hard and long against the Titans. Only a few of the more powerful Titans watched on the sidelines and attacked only when they knew they could take advantage. Soon though only Zeus and his two brothers, Poseidon and Hades remained whilst Kronos and his two brothers Hyperion and Iapetus. The two sets of brothers fought hard for years against each other. Eventually Zeus and his siblings won. Iapetus and Hyperion lay dead and Kronos was close to death by only mere minutes.
Zeus and his brothers knew they too were dying. Before that though Delphi the spirit of Prophecies gave them a warning. The visions the flew through there heads made them naseous and terrified for the mortal world. The sky on fire, eternal darkness and torture. Bodies of mortals the likes of which they have never seen before lay dead and disembodied in the oceans as birds feasted on their flesh. They could feel the despair in the air as they felt the presence of the 5 Titan lords in the vision. They realized that the Titans had figured a way to be reborn into the future through giving their powers to humans as vile as them. The three brothers looked at each other and nodded. They saw only one chance to protect their future.
Hades and Poseidon glowed brightly and disappeared. Soon all of the fallen gods disappeared as well leaving Zeus alone with his dying father. Zeus turned to look at Kronos and said, "You lost this battle father. You may think you won this war though, but no. I have seen the 12 saviors of the future and I plan to give them the right power to defeat you. You will lose the war as well. Goodbye Father. I hope you suffer in the void as well." Soon Kronos passed on and his spirit floated away. Zeus glowed brighter than his brothers and vanished. The throne room was silent before and incredible white light took over the room and engulfed it. The throne disappeared and relocated in a land known as Hi no Kuni. It sank beneath ground and in the center of the room and spreading out 14 statues of each god that fought in that battle appeared each bearing a different inscription readable only to those chosen to wield this power.
With Zeus and his family gone the rest of the gods fought for control of the home of the gods. Centuries later, due to the fighting the gods eventually died out and civilization forgot about them reminded of them only by myths and statues. Civilization advanced progressively. Wars were raged on almost every continent. Genocide, murder, rape and other crimes became so common that they were barely newsworthy happened. Eventually war wiped out most of the world. The few survivors took shelter and started making humanity anew. Then came the discovery of chakra by a man known as the Rikudou Sannin. Over his lifetime a powerful demon known as the Juubi appeared from some other realm and started to destroy the planet.
The Rikudou Sannin appeared and made battle with the beast. He eventually won by sealing the beast inside of him. Before his death he split the Juubi's chakra in to nine different animals turning them into the biju. These biju were given the task to keep the balance of humanity in check. Centuries went by and the biju were met with hatred and hostility. Eventually humans formed what are now known as the hidden villages. The biju were almost all captured. The most powerful stayed out of sight of the humans and slumbered. Eventually he was summoned to fight a man whose wood jutsu was able to stop his power and was inevitably captured by the man and sealed into his wife. The damage was done though. His mind was lost to hate. Then came time to move to a new host and be sealed again. She eventualy gained control of his chakra.
Soon though he got freed by a man claiming to be the same man that summoned him in that fight against the wood user, but the fox knew better. A couple hours later he saw that he was about to be resealed again. A man about six feet tall and called the Yondaime Hokage and his previous host held him to the ground and prevented his escape. As the young Hokage was about to start the sealing the Sandaime Hokage appeared behind him and knocked him out. He started the hand seals to summon the Shinigami to seal the Kyubi no Yoko into the Yondaime Hokage's son. As the Shinigami took the Kyubi's power and sealed it into the child and half into the old Hokage, the old man said to the infant. "Naruto-kun, I know you can't understand me, but that isn't important. Just know that I see a great future for you, and it is going to be on a tough path for you. Just keep your head up high move with courage and grace as you make a name for yourself. Goodbye Naruto. Shiki Fuin: Seal!" The Sandaime Hokage said the last jutsu he would ever say. The seal appeared on the baby's stomach and the Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen fell to the ground with lifeless eyes and a calm smile on his face.
This is the story of Naruto Namikaze and his friends on their path to be known as the Unknown Kami's.
