Chapter 2

Kami's Proposal

Last time:

Shinji was really surprise that a beautiful woman was not only talking to him, but that also she know his name, while Naruto immediately get into a defensive position and ask her "who are you and how do you know our names?"

She just smile and answer to Naruto "relax Naruto, I mean no harm to you or Shinji, let me introduce myself, I'm Kami."

And we now return to our story:

Shinji was gob smack by this, Kami know his name, well thinking about it is something to be expected, but that Kami have appear in front of him and was speaking to him was really amazing. Meanwhile Naruto was surprise but his shinobi training told him not to let his guard down, that was until he heard someone talking in his mind, calm down Naruto, don't make a fool of yourself for even thinking that you could fight Kami.

Kurama, where have you been? And are you serious, is she really Kami? And how do you know that? Tough Naruto.

But before Naruto could get an answer Kami spoke, "I see you are really surprise Shinji, I can assure you both that I'm really Kami, and I will prove it to you Naruto." She said while she raise a hand and with that Naruto was surround by the Kyubi cloak only to all the chakra concentrate in his stomach and form a big ball white energy, then it stretch in front of him, he start to feel a lot of pain, like if someone was pulling out his insides out, he tried to scream only to find out he couldn't, as more of the ball of light get away from him it grew in size and brightness, until it completely blind Naruto and Shinji.

When the light died they notice that in front of them was a red fur fox with red eyes and nine tails, but this one was only a head taller than Shinji.

"Ow Kami, you could have warn us what where you going to do, so we could brace for the pain," he said looking to Kami, and then turn his head to see Shinji with a confuse look and Naruto completely speechless "and to prevent them look so pathetic" he deadpanned.

Kami only giggle before saying, "and miss their reactions and yours too Kurama? Not a chance." she respond.

Naruto was in complete shock, Kami had extracted Kurama from the seal, and she had also do it and keep him alive, he had no more doubts that she really is Kami, the goddess of creation. He was so surprise that he only manage to say "how do you manage to take Kurama out of the seal? And why I'm not dead?"

"That's because the Jubi was consider a demigod, making him part divinity, and when he was split in the 9 bijus every one of them carried a divine part in them, allowing me to easily manipulate them, that's how I manage to get Kurama's conscience and some of his power out without killing you Naruto." answer Kami.

While Kami was explaining this to Naruto and Kurama, Shinji was in a trance, completely oblivious to the conversation in front of him, until he finally shout "kawaiii!" and throw himself over Karuma hugging him and trying to pet him. Karuma lost his balance by the sudden action of Shinji but immediately recompose himself and start complaining, "what do you think you are doing brat I'm not a plush toy I'm the great Karu..." but he stop when Shinji start scratching him behind the ears. "Oooh, rigth there, that's the spot, don't stop, ooh this feeeels soooo gooood."

Naruto couldn't believe what he was seeing, first Shinji thinking that Kurama was cute, granted he wasn't as big as a building, but he still keep his wild fox appearance that seem more wild than cute, and second and more surprising, Kurama was not only letting a human boy pet him, but he was enjoying it, in fact he was a bit jealous that it took him 16 years to befriend him and now Shinji had manage to tame him in a couple of minutes. Getting over his surprise he ask "Hey fox how come you are being this friendly with little Shinji when you just meet him and you were all grumpy to me the first 16 years of my life!?"

Kurama just lay there letting Shinji continuing to pet him and answer to Naruto "Because kit unlike you he didn't see me as a demon nor I was seal inside him, and since I doubt that me being in the outside world would be something permanent I have decide to enjoy it while it last."

But when Shinji hear Kurama's respond he immediately stop, and everyone turn to see him when he began to cry, while Kami was confuse of what cause this sudden shift in Shinji's mood, Naruto and Karuma thought that he became scare when they mention that Karuma is demon, but nobody could be ready for was Shinji going to said next.

"Nooooo bua, I don't want to Kurama gooo, buaa, I want him to stay with meee, buaaa, pleaase let him stay, buaahaa."

Naruto and Kurama where speechless, Shinji didn't care about him being a demon, in fact he think that Karuma was a pet that he wanted to keep, Kami was delighted to see someone so pure and innocent, Naruto had his jaw in the ground of the surprise, and finally Kurama was having trouble accepting the idea of being treated as a pet, but when he began to think about it he start to realize that it didn't sound that bad, being pet by Shinji, sleeping most of the day (something that he already did), and of course the fact that he will be free of the seal, yeah it sound better the more he think it.

Kami seeing how sad was Shinji walk to him and put a hand on his cheek, "I'm sorry Shinji, but I can only bring Kurama out of Naruto for small period of time before they start to feel the effects of being apart and that would risk their lives, and you don't want that, do you?"

When she said this Naruto and Kurama went a little pale at the idea of dying, but it was Shinji the one who show a more emotional respond "Nooo, I'm sorry mister Naruto, I don't want you to died, and I'm sorry Kurama that you are going to return to that seal thing and I won't be able to pet you anymore."

Everyone was moved by what Shinji said, he did not only feel bad for risking Naruto's life, but also regret he wouldn't be able to be with Kurama anymore.

"Don't worry about it kid, you didn't know, but if you want to make me feel better keep scratching behind my left ear." answer Kurama.

"Is it really okay Kurama? Won't you be lonely?"

"Kit I won't be lonely because I will be inside Naruto's head, also if I want to talk to you all I have to do is take control of Naruto's body."

At this point Shinji look confuse, he couldn't understand how Kurama was going to fit inside Naruto's head, or how he could take control of his body to talk to him, but before Naruto and Kurama could said something Kami said "that is something that they would have to tell you later Shinji, now we have more important things to discus with all of you."

Shinji make a pout but said nothing, while Naruto and Kurama knew that what Kami was going to tell them was something serious.

"Let me start by saying that you no longer are in the elemental nations, in fact you are no longer are in your dimension, I bring you here so I could ask you to train Shinji for what he needs to do in the future."

In this part Naruto politely interrupt her, "excuse me Kami, but what do you mean by other dimension and that you brought us here?"

"She means that this is a different earth than the one that we came from Naruto" answer Kurama.

"Does that mean that Naruto and Kurama are aliens?" asked Shinji.

Kami giggle before answering "no Shinji, they are not aliens, they just come from an earth that has a different past and because of this is very different from your home, and as for how you end here it is because I plan it that way Naruto, there never was something wrong with the hirashin no jutsu, I was just messing with your chakra so you would be force to practice the jutsu alone, and when the time was right I would use Karuma's chakra to pull you to this dimension."

"Ok, that's the how, and since you said that you want me to train Shinji that is the why, but what is Shinji going to face in the future you're talking about?"

"Like you Naruto, Shinji has been entrusted with the fate of humanity." She then look directly at Shinji's eyes "I know is a lot to ask you Shinji, especially since you are just little kid, and you will have to face very difficult battles and decisions that will cause you a lot of pain and will put your life at risk, but that is why I bring Naruto, to help you overcome all this, but only if you chose to do it Shinji, you can chose to decline and have a normal life, but the you should know that in that case the destiny of humanity will rest in someone else, someone that I probably won't be able to help."

After hearing all this Shinji was having a panic attack, Kami was telling that in the future the fate of humanity will depend of him and that to face it he will be train by Naruto, but he also have the option of saying no. He knew that accepting was a big responsibility, but it is the right thing to do, and he didn't want to make someone else have this huge burden, someone that without Naruto's training or Kami's help, could fail humanity. But he was also afraid of the pain that accepting will bring him, and that his life will be in constant danger.

But before Shinji could answer Naruto shout "NO!I will not allow this, I will not train Shinji so he will go to fights that will put his life at risk, I will fight his battles so he doesn't have to suffer the burden of having the fate of the world in his shoulders, I will not let him suffer that kind of life, I will not let Shinji sacrifice his childhood and happiness, so I will face whatever it is that the future awaits instead of Shinji! "

Kami look at Naruto with a disappointed Look, Kurama was actually smiling at Kami's reaction, it was obvious that Naruto was going to take Shinji's place, hell he was not even going to agree to train Shinji without expressing his disgust to the whole idea of putting the fate of the world in a 4 years old boy. And finally Shinji was really move by Naruto's words, he care so much for him that he was willing to take his place, he was so inspired by his security and courage that he made his decision in that moment.

"No, I can't let you do that mister Naruto, this is my world and my responsibility, I can't let you or anyone else risk their life while I just hide and be afraid, this is something that I need to do, so please mister Naruto, train me so I can be prepare for what I have to do in the future!"

And now was Naruto's turn to be surprise, Shinji wanted to protect his world no matter what it will cost him, which could be his life, but he also felt really proud of the courage that was displaying the little boy.

Nobody said anything, and you could see that no one was willing to back down, until Kurama said "you should train him Naruto, after all, if he doesn't learn how to fight his battles he is not going to grow as a person and he will always be afraid, besides, you know that if you and your friends in Konoha train the boy there won't be anything that could stop him, and besides he has that look that you had when you were younger, that one that said that you would not back down and never give up once you made up your mind about something."

When Naruto look at Shinji he saw the determination in his eyes, the same he have when he made a promise, he then look at Karuma and at Kami and finally sight in defeat, "Al right, I will train Shinji so he would not only be ready to face the challenges of his life, but so that he will save everyone, dattebayo!" After he said this Kami and Karuma were smiling, while Shinji hug him with all his strength while thanking him.

"Then let me explain you both what will happen in Shinji's future that I will need him to be train as a shinobi." Kami start talking and everybody keep quiet and pay attention. "five years ago, Shinji's world suffered what is refer to as second impact, a cataclysm event that melted the poles, contaminated the oceans and seas and ended the life of many plants and animals with the clime changes, all of this cause floods, wars, hunger, and other events that take the lives of over half the human race."

"But what cause all this is that humans found a demigod name Adam buried in Antarctica, but unknown to the scientists that were studding Adam, a small group of men known as SEELE wanted the power that Adam possess, they intentionally awake Adam, knowing that it will result in an uncontrolled explosion of power, this is what cause the second impact."

"But why they wanted Adam's power if they knew that would happen?" asked Shinji, all this being very difficult for him to understand, but he knew that it was VERY bad to cause and explosion that will end with the death of many.

"It's because greedy humans always look for ways to have more power, and if they knew that the being in the north pole was a demigod then is not surprising that they will want his power no matter the cost or the consequences. Too bad the whole world had to pay for their stupidity." Answer Kurama with a bit of despise in his voice, which didn´t surprise Kami or Naruto, after all he had been seen as a weapon for almost 80 years before Naruto had befriend him and make people see bijus and jinchirukis differently.

"They did it because they are afraid of the death, and believe that that power would grant them immortality and complete control over the world." Answer Kami.

The moment Naruto hear this he face palm so hard that Kami and Shinji look at him with a worried look, while Kurama just laugh without a care, "Shikamaru just have to be right about my luck! He said this will happen, that training with the hiraishin would be an omen to some world domination plot that would have someone trying to steal the power of the gods to shape the world to his like, and I just dismiss it thinking he was exaggerating, dam I hate my luck!"

"Kit, you just dismiss it because what he said was so absurd and improbable, and since you have defeated the strongest and evilest men in the elemental nations you just though that it was impossible for it to happen." Kurama said only to resume laughing.

Shinji sweat drop at this and Naruto fell to depress, he sit down with his knees at his chest while a rainy cloud appear over him, Kami cough in her hand to get everybody's attention.

When everybody calm down and pay attention to her she continue, "as I was saying, they cause the second impact because that was the only way they could separate Adam's power from his soul, so they could use it, but they also needed other elements to control Adam's power, a year ago they start a project that would be able to contain this power so they could control it and use it, this project was name Evangelion, and created a kind of clone of Adam that will be pilot by humans, this project was under the direction of an organization name NERV, an organization that your father is in charge Shinji."

"What? How does my father is involve in all this? And what is this Evangelion thing he is working on?"

"Shinji your father was involved in causing the second impact, he knows the true behind it and is working for the men that cause it, that is why he is directing the project Evangelion, and why he let your mother take part in the experiment that ended with her losing his life."

"But Kami my mom´s death was an accident, they told me there was nothing they could do, how could my father know what was going to happen?"

Naruto and Kurama immediately concluded that Shinji's father was responsible of her mother's death, they felt bad for Shinji, he not only lost his mother recently in some accident, but his father was responsible for this, and that make them really angry although they didn't show it, they already despise this guy for abandoning Shinji, but now they really wanted to kill him for being such a heartless bastard.

Kami get closer to Shinji and kneel down "I'm sorry to tell you Shinji, but to complete the project Evangelion they need the soul of a human, so he make your mother test it, knowing that it would fail and end absorbing your mother's body and soul. He abandoned you latter not only because you will become a nuisance if you stay with him, but also to make you insecure and weak, allowing him to manipulate you in the future."

Shinji was in shock, he already knew that his father didn't love him and wanted him away, but to hear from Kami that he didn't even love his wife, the woman that he supposedly he married out of love, the woman that gave him a son and a family, and that he would use both to achieve his goals. He was so shock that he didn't say nothing, he didn´t move or cry, he was completely frozen.

Seeing that Naruto was no responding Kami hug to comfort him, "it's alright to cry Shinji, it's not your fault what happen to your mother, is all Gendo doing, but you can put an end to what him and SEELE plan to do, you can prevent more tragedies like this to happen to others, you can become a light of hope for everybody." At this point Shinji finally snap out of his shock and start crying.

Naruto also get down to hug and console Shinji, and even Kurama was there whipping Shinji's tears with his tails while he lick his hands. After 10 minutes of crying, Shinji finally calm down enough to talk.

"Thanks everyone, now I know that my parents never love me and that I was a mistake that they never wanted." Shinji said still crying.

Kami frown at this and said to him "No Shinji, you are wrong, your mother really love you with all her heart, she never consider you a mistake and you were her world and she never wanted to leave you alone."

"It's alright Shinji, even if your father doesn't love you, we are here for you now, I will make you feel the love of a family again, I will adopt you and become your new father, dattebayo" Said Naruto.

Shinji speechless, in front of him where three people (actually one man, one biju, and one deity) telling him that they love him, and Naruto was giving the opportunity to have a family again, this make him fell love and give him hope for the future.

"Okay Shinji, now that you are alright I will continue, the release of Adam not only cause the second impact, but also will created powerful beings call angels that will come in 10 years to seek for the remains of Adam and revive him, this will cause a third impact, resulting in the death of all human kind, the angels will come to the same spot that NERV will be defending, at this point your father will call you to pilot an evangelion telling you that it is humanity's only defense against the angels, this is why Naruto will train you, so you can be prepare to not only fight the angels, but also stop SEELE and your father's plans of becoming gods."

While Kami was saying this Naruto couldn't help but think that Kami was not telling them everything when he heard in his head a familiar voice "so you notice it as well kit"

"Kurama? How can I hear you if you are outside?"

"Kami just take my consciousness and a little of my power out, we still have a link trough my chakra that is still inside of you."

"Oh Ok, But you're right, Kami is not telling us everything that she knows, the question is why she is not telling us everything."

"Probably because Shinji is still not ready to hear it."

"If that is the case will she will tells us or Shinji when he is ready? Or is she going to keep us in the dark."

But before Kurama could answer he hear a new voice in his head

"Both of you are right, Shinji is not prepare to hear the all the story, but I will tell it to you two latter, and then you can decide when Shinji will be ready to hear it."

"Wait how can we heard Kami in my head, you know what don't answer that, it's probably to complicate and will take a lot of time."

"So Naruto", said Kami interrupting Naruto's thoughts, "are you ready to train Shinji in the shinobi arts?"

"Yes I am! But I have to warn you Shinji that I will be very strict and the training will be really hard if we are going to have you ready in only ten years, but first I have to make several arrangements if I'm going stay here and train you without anyone discovering us, could you give me a couple of days to prepare everything Kami?"

"Oh you don't have to worry about that Naruto, I will take you and Shinji to Konoha so you can train Shinji, also since time runs slower in this dimension than in your dimension you will have more or less sixteen years to train, at this point I will return Shinji so he can fight the angels."

"That is really convenient! But won't Shinji disappearance will be reported and cause suspicions in the future when he returns?"

"And that is why I will teach you a new clone jutsu Naruto, the chi bunshin no jutsu, it is exactly as the kage bunshin, but you use blood as a medium to anchor your chakra, making the clone able to sustain damage and not dispelling, also it will last longer since it can store more chakra. With this you will leave a blood clone here and henge him as Shinji."

"But that clone won't last for years, and I don't know how Shinji normally acts so he would be discover sooner o latter." Stated Naruto.

"Don't worry Naruto, I will transfer Shinji's memories to you so you could act like him and nobody will suspect a thing, also I will look over your clone so that I can bring you here and replace it whenever before he dispel."

After this she one hand in Shinji's head and the other in Naruto's head proceed to transfer Shinji's memories to Naruto, then she teach Naruto the chi bunshin no jutsu, which was exactly at the kage bunshin but he needed to have some blood on his hand to channel the chakra to. When he got the jutsu he create a blood clone and henge him as Shinji and send him to Shinji's house to take his place.

After this Kami said "Now that we are done with the substitute Shinji I need to return you Kurama inside Naruto." And in an instant Kurama return inside the seal, "And finally so you can train Shinji I will unlock Shinji Chakra" and with that Shinji was surrounded by a blue light, when he return to normal Naruto notice that Shinji had as much chakra as a fresh genin.

Kami move her right hand and open light portal. "Alright lets go." And with that they all step into the portal.

When they exit the portal they were at the top of the Hokage Mountain, over Naruto head. Naruto put a hand at Shinji's shoulder and said to him. "Welcome to your new home Shinji, welcome home."


End of chapter 2

That is all for chapter 2, I can't believe how fast I wrote it, I guess I'm really inspired and hope I will keep going for long.

Since the story of evangelion is a little confusing I take some liberties adapting it to my story, and I won't be changing it latter or the rest of the story won't make sense.

Thanks for your follows and comments, it motivates me to keep writing.

Finally I'm asking you all what natural affinity would you like Shinji to have, I already decide one, but I can either change it or add a second affinity if many people want it or someone give me a good reason.

Goodbye and may the force be with you.
