Sharingan No Kami
Chapter Two: Living Legacy And ROOT
Authors note-
Woops ehehhe, as Wrin pointed out the last time this chapter was up it needed to be gone over for grammar and spelling. You see my computer double saved the chapter for some reason the one I uploaded was the file I hadn't checked over. Sorry about that, this up load should fix most if not all of the problems.
Well the reception that I got for chapter one was in a word AMAZING, whoo fucking hoo thirty nine review's for one chapter. Sorry if that sounds a bit disproportionate but that is honestly the first time I have got that many reviews off of the first chapter of a fic, so I am a little exited.
Moving right along time for my favourite part the Q and A section thanks to reviews. On a completely unrelated side note my story has been called eerily similar to another fic, said fic's name is Rebirth of a God by ShadowFoxEndeve I would like it to be noted that after being told that I actually did go and read said fic. You were all fucking right the beginning was so similar it was fucking scary, that being said I have read the entire thing now and know how and where I will take my fic in different directions to it.
Red Habanero- Okay I can admit that I can see your point against one night stands. That being said Naruto is NOT in love with Kushina at this point in time and as such is free to seek out companionship elsewhere at this time. Not that it will happen to many times, so don't think he is going to be some kind of mega playboy it will happen maybe three times then stop, so don't worry too much.
Daniel 29- It's a secret but by overwhelming popular opinion if I take that road Mikoto will be included, though I do reserve the right to pick the last person. I will say that if anyone wants to know who the other person would be find the review by jlink, he or she (but I am guessing he) did in fact guess right on who the last person would be if I did make a four way relationship. So did NarutoJ9 now that I say that, also guys don't go advertising who it is you guessed right if everyone else really wants to know they can find the review.
NarutoJ9 – I am not sure whether or not there will be jealously from Minato, according to Narutopedia he admired Kushina for her hair. Admiration is not love I can only assume that developed later, so it's up in the air.
As for Orochimaru well Naruto would actually have to find something on the bastard first. Far easier said then done, especially when he is currently one of the most respected Konoha shinobi. I have plans for Tsunade, most involve comic relief. The blood line wars are started a long way down the track from here, but in a nut shell yes if he killed Tobi before Yugara became Mizukage he could prevent the bloodline wars.
Two Kyuubi's all I can say is dimension hopping, there can be two Kyuubi's because they are not one and the same as would be the case with time travel.
Also good job on picking who would be the third woman.
UzuKunoichi- I will address the con's the Jiji comment, if you saw someone you thought was dead and you loved them family love or otherwise, I would guarantee you that you would at least hug them. Most likely while crying, I was trying to write a somewhat realistic reaction. Sorry if that came off a bit harsh.
The reaction of Uzugakure, well good intentions or not you are not going to allow a random to walk around a ninja village even if he saved you. The reason he got an audience with the Uzukage and a hospital bed rather than a prison cell was that he did something to help Uzu. They simply wanted to know what he wanted out of that before welcoming him with open arms.
Finally Naruto will be teaching others his skills, it's kind of his job as a Jonin-sensei. But he will be keeping the vast majority of them personal. So don't expect him to teach every Genin team a Rasengan, he most likely will teach his own and maybe Minato but no one else.
Sabaku Ookami- Thank you I am glad you found it amusing. As for how I got the idea of a cow it involves copious amounts of beer. Six engineering students, four science students including myself constructing a cow shaped paint bomb, I am sure you can figure the rest out. Before anyone asks no I don't have any plans for it so don't ask, if you want to build one figure it out yourself.
Joe Lawyer- No he will be doing his own training, he only recently gained the Rinnegan after all. The only path he can use is Deva and the only attack from it he has is Shinra Tensei, he also needs to train his four new chakra natures. Then he will be picking up new Jutsu, of all types and yes his life will be better as he is not known as a jinchurikki. For my explanation on why two Kyuubi's exist check the answer I gave to NarutoJ9. His back story will be explained in flashbacks, one of which is in this chapter.
As for getting his story down in the three weeks he had, well the only thing I can say to that is he actually does have a back story. One that is linked to the Hiraishin, it's also complete bullshit as none of it is true but no one in this timeline/dimension. It's also his excuse on how he knows who Tobi is when the time comes.
As for the reason he has it more together, well lets just say it relates to his back story in his own dimension.
Lightningblade49 – He will most likely teach it to Kushina and the others but not everyone.
Rixxell Stryfe – Holy shit man that was one hell of a long review, as for how he got Kotoamatsukami it is explained in a flashback this chapter.
As for his team it's kind of a do or die kind of thing. On one hand yes they are all prominent clan heirs and the leaf needs them, that being said if Naruto screws up even slightly they can pull him for endangering clan heir and keep him away from Konoha's jinchūriki. It's a two stage protection one way the Sharingan and the Mokuton bloodline if Nawaki has it and Kushina herself can restrain the Kyuubi if needed. Then if such a thing ever occurs they can out Naruto as a Sensei and replace him with someone they trust more.
To everything like my changes of Naruto history all I can say is alternate dimension/AU but I promise to try and keep it as consistent as possible when I change history.
Also thanks for the open invitation on asking about Naruto history if I can't find something I'll definitely ask, thanks again.
Perses7x – Don't worry too much on any of those front's some of them are answered this chapter and others are explained away in his fabricated back story.
Also next time could you please not include so many dots/full stops between one word and the next, it makes it a real pain to read.
Saito Namikaze Reborn- Glad I gave you an idea, also if your taking requests any chance of another chapter of Whirlpool's Resurrection any-time soon?
And that's it for the Q and A section thanks for all the reviews and words of encouragement you guy's rock, oh if anyone was wondering Narukami means Thundering Deity, now on with the show.

Story Start-
Naruto sighed, hanging his head. It was ten past nine, where the hell were they hell even the client was late. The undercover Uzumaki sighed again before looking up at the clouds and felt his body relax. So this is why Shikamaru found this so enjoyable, his heart ached his friends they were dead he wouldn't see them ever again. Even if they were born in this world they wouldn't be the same people, so he would never see them again.
His hand wandered to his right eye, and Naruto smirked. Itachi's gift to him as the inheritor of his will was inside this right eye. The determination of the man who killed almost every Uchiha for the sake of Konoha was inside his eye. As was the will of a man who thought himself a god and wanted nothing more than world peace.
Flashback-
"Bansho Tenin" The resurrected corpse of Nagato spoke out drawing Naruto irresistibly towards the now controlled Edo Tensei zombie. Nagato reached back his and and plunged his fingers into Naruto's right eye, before tearing it out. Blood splattered over the ground and marred Nagato's face as Naruto screamed in pain.
His world was filled with pain, his eye was gone his eye, oh god. Naruto choked down a scream of pain, he wasn't out of the fight yet he still had Kyuubi's chakra cloak. He lifted his leg and slammed it into Nagato's sternum. His chakra cloak was immediately ripped off, leaving his leg bare, dammit he'd forgotten about that stupid ability.
B came down from above aiming to slash off Nagato's arm, the rouge Uzumaki didn't even bat an eye lash. "Shinra Tensei" He commanded sending Naruto and B flying away from him and through several tree's. The controlled Nagato placed his hand on the ground. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Yama No Ou" A monstrous construct rose from the ground the Kanji for King inscribed upon it's head, Naruto felt his breathing quicken as he observed it with his remaining eye. He had summoned it again the thing that gave back the people of Konoha their lives, the king of hell.
Itachi chose that moment to get B and him to safety pulling them into the embrace of Susanoo. Nagato didn't even look surprised the Rinnegan wielder simply raised his hand to the sky. "Chibaku Tensei" The sphere of black gravity soared into the sky and tore the earth asunder pulling it into the sky.
Itachi gritted his teeth. "Have you two seen this before?" He asked calmly, Naruto nodded to the older Uchiha.
"I have let's just say if that thing manges to hit us were done for, it took me using eight of Kyuubi's tail's to be pulled out." He admitted, the reanimated Uchiha nodded at the younger man's statement.
"Will have to bring it down using overwhelming force, if we all use our most powerful ranged Jutsu we may have a chance. But that is only if we aim for that black ball at it's core, if we can't hit that we are going to die." Naruto and B nodded, a familiar ringing sound began over Naruto's right hand while B transformed into his full eight tail's state. The three breathed in deeply, Naruto pulled his arm back.
"Futon: Rasenshuriken!"
"Yasaka no Magatama!"
"Bijuudama!"
The three called out the name of their respective attacks as they soared towards the growing moon. Hitting it head on and causing an explosion of almost cataclysmic proportions, the result was the surrounding area being levelled to the point map's would have to be redrawn to show the aftermath of the battle.
Nagato pre paired to renew his attack, the Edo Tensei construct looked down, a glowing katana impaling him through the stomach. Nagato smiled at being released from his servitude before looking at Itachi. "Thanks I guess I owe you one." The Uchiha smiled at the former 'god's' words of thanks.
"Anything you want to say Nagato? Before you are sealed by the sword of Totsuka possessed by my Susanoo." The rouge Uzumaki sighed and smiled looking at the sky before looking at Naruto.
"Yes actually, Naruto could you come over here for a second?" He asked, Naruto looked at Itachi uncertainly. The Uchiha nodded and Naruto walked over to his family, stopping in front of him. Nagato smiled at him before reaching out and grabbing the crow off of Naruto's shoulder and ripping out Shisui's eye. Before grabbing the Uzumaki heir's head and smiling as he placed the eye near Naruto's now vacant eye socket.
"I can't give you back your old eye but I can give you this one, if you would like it Naruto." The former terrorist asked, Naruto looked taken back. He could see out of his right eye again, he had already given up on ever doing that again. "What do you think Itachi?" Nagato asked smiling at the freed Uchiha.
Itachi gave a small smirk in return. "Accept it Naruto, inherit my, Shisui's and Nagato's wills. Your parents Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina you are their living legacy. Accept Shisui's sharingan and become ours as well. You will be the light we three leave behind in the darkness." The Uchiha said in a kind tone, Nagato smiled and Naruto felt his mouth dry up. Become their living legacy what the hell were they thinking?
"Come on guy's their has to be a better person for the job I'm sure I'll screw something up." Nagato and Itachi looked at him like he was crazy.
"Naruto." Itachi started. "I murdered my entire clan for the sake of Konoha sparing only my little brother, who is now walking down a path of darkness and could well destroy the leaf." Itachi finished lamely, sounding a little ticked off at admitting his failure.
"As for me, in case you don't remember I created an organisation that ended up being ruled by a mad man that has a fairly good chance at actually achieving world domination. I don't think you can screw up worse than we already have." Nagato finished lamely, Naruto just stared at them both in amazement, they were actually admitting that?
"But I mean I-" B had enough at this point and smacked Naruto up side the head.
"Listen and Listen clear fool cause Killer B is here so let's make this clear right here. They want ya to be a legacy I say you let'em have ya. They want ya they need ya so why don't ya stop clowin and start posin playa." The Hachibi jinchurikki rapped at his younger counter part, the three others just looked at him strangely.
Naruto found a Susanoo hand holding him in place, as Nagato reached out to his eye socket. "Here this should heal you up and give you your chakra back." The Uzumaki smiled as he placed the eye inside Naruto's eye socket, who was held far to tightly to dislodge himself from the constructs grip. The man who once called himself god ran through some hand seals "Gedō: Rinne Tensei no Jutsu" Naruto felt the eye fuse into his head, surprisingly it didn't hurt. He smiled at the man in front of him as he began to disappear.
"Naruto; if Jiraiya was the first book in the trilogy then it was a great one. However myself as the second it was horrible. You Naruto your the third and final book of our story make it so good that everyone forgets the trash that the second book was. You Naruto are the bridge to peace and my living legacy, I counting on you kid." Nagato finished just as the sealing was completed and he vanished for the final time.
Naruto turned to Itachi sharingan in his right eye it's tome spinning slowly. "Well what are we waiting for let's go."
Flashback end
Naruto smiled at the memory, surprisingly it wasn't a painful one. Nagato had entrusted his dream to his younger counter part and passed on with a smile. Naruto could be satisfied with that, not happy but satisfied at least. He looked up to see his three Genin standing in front of him, along with the client. "What took you guys so long?" Naruto asked looking at them his Genin sweat dropped as one.
"Uh, Sensei" Kushina ventured smiling a little at the memory. "We've been here for almost twenty minutes already, we tried calling you a few times but you just didn't react." Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"Sorry about that I was think about some...old memories." He said giving them a smile, Mikoto's interest was peeked by that statement.
"What kind of memories?" She asked innocently, none of the assembled Genin or the man they had been hired to escort missed the flash of sadness that flicked over Naruto's face. But it was gone so quickly they almost thought they imagined it.
Naruto shrugged. "Does it really matter at the moment Mikoto-san? At any rate you must be Hibi-san" He said addressing the older man with greying hair behind his Genin team. The man nodded in answer to Naruto's question. "Okay then just a few things we need to thrash out then before we leave." He said cheerfully, pulling out the mission scroll. "You wanted protection from bandits and highwaymen. As such you requested a C ranked mission from Konoha we are to take you to Senmei village in Kawa no Kuni. Is all this correct?" Naruto asked, the man nodded.
"Indeed it is, but I have to ask why did you feel the need to ask?" Naruto shrugged, before smiling at his Genin.
"Well it was more for my Genin then me, just so they understood the parameters of the mission and what you had asked for. I admit I could have just briefed them as we walked but I like to ask the client these kind of questions, once or twice I have had people deliberately mislabel missions because they couldn't pay the free, it almost got me and my team killed more than once. So now I do this and try to see if your lying or not, personally I wouldn't care if you were if it was just me. But I've got to look out for Genin too now so I have to be a little more careful." Naruto finished, the man looked at him for a second before nodding and walking out the gate.
Naruto looked back at his Genin. "So what are you waiting for exactly? Lets get going shall we." They didn't need to be told twice, and ran after the client. Naruto chuckled and jogged after them, all three of them seemed so eager. Naruto wondered if Sasuke, Sakura and he were the same way when they first started.

Danzo looked at the ROOT agent at his feet. "The Kyuubi jinchurikki. has left the village?" He asked making sure he knew the full situation before he acted.
The ROOT agent nodded. "Hai Danzo-sama, the jinchurikki was spotted leaving the village at nine thirty this morning. In the company of Uchiha Mikoto and Senju Nawaki the jinchurikki's team mates. As well as their Jonin instructor an Uzugakure shinobi called Narukami Naruto." Danzo looked intrigued at that piece of news.
"Sarutobi is letting an outsider train our weapon?" He asked the man bowing before him. The man nodded.
"Hai Danzo-sama to make matters worse we can not find anything about this man, he was instated as an Uzumaki Jonin only a week before he arrived to be the jinchurikki's Sensei. Before that there are no records of this individual, nor any records of why he would be trusted with such a high priority mission." The agent finished, Danzo sat back on his chair deep in thought.
"Send a seal master, or at least as close as we have after the jinchurikki's team. Tell them to keep their distance and ambush them on the way back to Konoha. The Senju heir shows no signs of being able to use the Mokuton he is expendable. The third daughter of the Uchiha clan head and the jinchurikki. Are to be captured and subdued ready for emotional conditioning their Jonin-sensei is to be killed. A random element like that is far to dangerous to be left alone." He commanded, the agent bowed.
"Of course Danzo-sama, we will be the root's that hold up the great tree." The agent said bowing to his master.

Naruto sighed something was going to go horribly wrong, he could just feel it. The mission had been a complete success. Client safely delivered, money paid, free three day vacation that his students were all to happy to take paid for by him. Naruto figured that with the hellish training that he had put them through they deserved some time off and no one was going to know. Naruto would just say the man stopped off at a couple of towns on the way, no harm done.
It was exactly that, that had him worried. He couldn't go on one mission without something going horribly wrong. Be it bandit's, Jutsu thieves, people raising the dead and one time Jutsu thieving vampire bandits, that kind of shit does NOT happen to normal people. Yet this was going off without a hitch and that worried him.
Kushina looked back at her sensei who was bringing up the rear of the group, she wasn't sure why but she had this small ache in her chest. It started when she saw him flirting with that female cook in the restaurant they ate at, she didn't know why this feeling was their. What the hell was wrong with her?
Naruto sighed he could feel the trap up ahead, if whoever set this up was good. If he had been just about anyone else it probably would have worked. But he wasn't anyone else, Naruto was a veteran of the fourth shinobi war, the shortest and bloodiest of all four wars, spanning two years in total. With a grand total of almost thirty three thousand casualties out of the original fifty thousand shinobi in the allied forces. He'd been dodging traps better than this one in his sleep for years.
Naruto pumped chakra to his legs and disappeared in a burst of speed to appear in front of his Genin. Holding his arm out to stop them. "Formation three defencive positions, attack the enemy with deadly force." He yelled at them, the three confused Genin quickly assembled themselves back to back, Naruto turned his attention to the forest ahead. "You have two choices come out or I smoke you out." Naruto yelled, no answer was fourth coming, the blond shrugged his hands blurred. Finishing on a tiger seal, Mikoto's eye brow raised her sensei could use Katon Jutsu? "Katon: Gōryūka no Jutsu" The dragon headed flame projectile roared towards the tree line causing the ground under it to warp and melt with it's heat. Before connecting with the trees and exploding turning the forest into a raging inferno.
Naruto didn't bother to observe his handy work, he was more focused on the seven ANBU that dropped out of the trees. "Now, now, now what are seven ROOT members doing here? tell me has the old war hawk really decided to have me eliminated?" The seven didn't say anything and settled for charging, Naruto smirked. He leant back allowing the cut of the tanto in the ROOT members hand to go harmlessly above him, his own kunai burring itself deep into the man's gut.
He tugged the weapon free and threw it over to his left hand, spinning he planted the kunai in the back of another ROOT ANBU's skull as he tried to run past. Naruto smiled jumping back and pulling out a single shuriken and throwing it. "Futon: Shuriken Kage Bunshin No Jutsu." The single shuriken become twenty each encased in deadly Futon chakra, Naruto smiled as he watched another two ROOT members drop dead. He watched two more jump back. "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu" Two ROOT members yelled, expelling two large sphere's of fire at the still smiling blond."Suiton: Suijinheki" Naruto muttered, spitting out a torrent of water to douse the two fire balls.
Naruto jumped back again, the blond brought his hands into a one day to be infamous cross shape. "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu." Both made only one hand sign, Naruto had practised this particular combination Jutsu until he could do it in his sleep. "Fūton: Atsugai" The original Naruto yelled firing the attack at the unfortunate ROOT ANBU, the clone smiled. "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu"
The two ROOT members died almost instantly, Naruto could feel the ungodly heat of the attack and hear his opponents skin crackle as the fat ignited under the heat.
Naruto rolled his neck, well that was easy. A scream came from behind him another ROOT ANBU was making off with Kushina. Naruto gritted his teeth, not fucking happening, the raced through three hand seals Ox, Rabbit and monkey. The chidori actually consisted of nine hand seals but a master of the attack could cut that time down by two thirds.
The chakra gathered around his hand, white and luminous, he lowered himself like a sprinter waiting for the go signal. The ever familiar sound of a thousand birds chirping filled the air, Naruto looked up at the fleeing ROOT ANBU. "CHIDORI" The blond screamed to the sky and dashed forward, passing his students almost instantly the chidori in his hand tearing up the ground. Naruto activated his sharingan, he closed four meters, three, two, one. His left hand went out and grabbed Kushina throwing her off the ROOT members shoulder, his right hand came forward and tore right through the man's chest.
The ROOT operative looked down, his body was shredded. A gaping hole in his chest right over his lungs, that still contained Naruto's hand. The blond closed his eyes allowing the sharingan to leave them before looking back at his Genin. "You all right?" He asked looking at Kushina. The red haired girl shook for a moment before crying and burring her face in his chest. Naruto just held her and let her cry her troubles away. He recognised the insignia on the ANBU masks, ROOT, Danzo would pay for this. Danzo would pay dearly, more importantly he would die, slowly.
Naruto stroked Kushina's hair and whispered kind and reassuring words to her. The girls shaking seemed to stop, until she looked at the carnage around them. Kushina held her hands over her mouth and sprinted over to the bushes. Currently occupied by Nawaki and Mikoto and began throwing up with them.
Naruto sighed he had a lot of work to do, he quickly substituted a log in the clearing for a model cow, the terrified cry of COW! Filled the clearing and all three of his Genin jumped out. Naruto sighed, morons, they hadn't even checked for explosive tags. Not that it mattered there were none on that cow, he smiled at his Genin. "Well time to go home boy and girls onward." He said smiling and walking away.
BOOM! The clearing behind them was levelled and more than ten trees were destroyed by the blast, okay maybe he had been wrong about those explosive tags after all. Kushina ran up to walk beside Naruto and was soon joined by Nawaki and Mikoto, looked like none of them were used to seeing death. Naruto gritted his teeth, he would make Danzo pay.
Chapter Two- End.
