Yo everybody, I'm back after long time, I was just busy with my other fic The Child of Prophecy. Though this chapter is not that long as I usually write a chapter which is worth 6K+ or 10K+. But don't worry my next chapter would be quite lengthy
As I said in the previous chapter, Naruto is not the incarnation of Sage of Six Paths but rather it's the other way round. I know it would sound confusing but I think this chapter would clear some of your doubts.
Okay enough of my rant, onto the story
Chapter 2
In a landscape for and high above from the location of human existence, one could get a misty and serene view of a terrain which was smeared with unblemished white hue adding to its limpid outlook. Many non-human creatures could be seen strolling through the immaculate streets without a thought for worry. In the centre of this vista stood a resplendent, royal and regal looking castle that no human could ever hope to occupy.
Inside this castle, in a large grandeur courtroom, an imperial man was sitting on a magnificent throne placed on a high platform, with the others down in their own seats. The man sitting on the throne was a regal looking person who had a silky shoulder length blonde hair with slight spikes and bangs, which covered the side of his unearthly handsome face. He wore an elegant white robe with a long silvery furry tail appended to his right shoulder. He rested his head on his right arm's fist which was supported on the arm on the throne. Currently his eyes were closed but concentrated on hearing from his subordinates.
"We have to do something my lord; the situation is getting out of hand. Your nemesis is slowly reigning control over the chaos that is being spread across the mortal world" said a bearded figure who had an aura of lightning and had a faithful yet powerful pet as an eagle by his side. This figure was none other than the god of the skies, Zeus.
"Yes my lord, Zeus is right. Satan has become too much of a threat and his powers at its peak even surpasses all of us except yours, my lord. You have to stop him before he becomes too much of a threat to the existence of the mortal realm" said a beautiful looking woman with elegant long silvery hair as she radiated the power that defined the existence of life. She was none other than the goddess of life,Marisha-Ten no Kami.
Many other gods who were present at hall were nodding at this as they knew that their Supreme Lord and the ruler of the universe was the only one who could stop this oncoming terror and apocalypse. The man sitting at the throne now identified as the Supreme Lord heard all this calmly while his eyes were still closed.
"Your almighty, we have to know of your decision" Marisha stressed again.
The lord released a small breath as he opened his eyes and scanned the whole hall which accommodated all the gods and goddesses who were waiting for his response. He raised his head from his fist and sat straight as everyone alerted themselves to be concentrated.
"Yes, I know about all these commotions that are taking place in the human world. That's why I had been planning for a while to reach a solution for this problem"
"Lord, what have you decided" asked Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty.
The Lord sighed again which the gods and goddesses rarely got to see and when he did, it always meant that their ruler was going to use last resort as the means of solution.
"I am going to the mortal realm"
All the celestial beings were on an uproar as they heard that their lord was himself going to intervene in the mortal matters. They needed him here more to guide the universe and rule it.
"SILENCE!" the Lord roared which resulted in the hall being quiet once again.
"But Lord, we need you here. Besides you had already taken an incarnation once!" Hades, the ruler the underworld interjected.
"I know, but pandemonium has arisen once again, which calls for my attention"
"But Lord-"
"And besides, is there anyone who could be able to do this endeavor" Whole hall was silent at this "As I suspected, no one here except me could be able to take on this quest. Is there anyone who wants to object my decision?" The whole hall was silent as all the gods and goddesses nodded among themselves, as they believed their Lord always made right decision for this universe's welfare.
"Then it is decided. I would be the one to take incarnation as only I possess the power to cross the limits of this world and the mortal world"
Two pairs of eyes opened to reveal cerulean blue orbs that were scanning the surrounding. And when it looked up, it saw a mop of red hair. The infant who possessed these eyes tried to see the face of red haired women who was cradling him in her arms. When she looked down and saw that her child was awake, she smiled at him, which resulted in the infant smiling at his mother too.
Kushina was remarkably recovering from her near death state and post labor pain that might have required her to get hospitalized but here she was ready to stroll across the streets her village as she stepped out of Namikaze mansion.
Word had gotten immediately out after kyuubi's attack that it was indeed Fourth Hokage's son who caused that infamous energy pillar that shot up to the skies and was the one who defeated kyuubi and made it disappear from the face of this earth. People had a hard time believing this fact as no infant could possibly be able create that much power but when the majority of the shinobi section, jounins and chunnins who had gone to assist their hokage accounted their experience of that night, people across the village were swayed to believe this fact. Some people started sprouting how their Yondaime's son was a miracle child and most started to speculate that the god himself descended to earth in the form of their hokage's son to save them from the clutches of demons like the kyuubi. It was for this sole reason that many people actually started to worship the infant whose name somehow leaked out and came into public's knowledge as Naruto. Various Naruto shrines were being set up and people across the whole village and even some neighboring village were starting to flock to these shrines to worship their child incarnated god and also get a glimpse of their savior. Kushina for the first time in her lifetime was left gawking when she was informed by Mikoto of this development. Well not Minato, as he was left laughing like there was no end to it, though he sometimes did wonder if his child was really a god if kyuubi's night was anything to go by.
Though things were slowly starting to get exaggerating as various Naruto shops were being opened that was actually getting good business. An assortment of Naruto merchandises were being sold across the whole elemental continent as Naruto's fame was making its way across the entire shinobi world in a speed faster than Minato's Hiriashin could ever hope to achieve. So it was no wonder when Kushina stepped out of her house for the first time and put her foot on the streets, she and her son were immediately under the spotlight.
"LOOK, IT'S OUR SAVIOUR!"
"IT'S THE CHILD INCARNATED GOD!"
"THE GOD HAS GRACED US WITH HIS PRESCENCE!"
Kushina's eyebrows were twitching madly as she saw the commotion that was taking place at the sight of her son. These people were taking the definition of worship to a whole new level. This was madness!
Naruto was giggling at some people's antics along with his mother's reaction. Seeing this, his mother let a smile grace her face. The sound of her baby's laughter was worth the entire world for her. She let herself stroll across the streets passing by various shops as people made way for their Hokage's wife and now more importantly, their savior and incarnated god's mother. Various shop-owners were trying to bring the mother and son pair to their shops. Baby Naruto was looking around frankly in order to understand the situation of his surrounding. Various women's were cooing at him, exclaiming how much cute he was and how their daughter would be a perfect match for him when he grows up. Now Kushina having heard all these was starting to fume at the casual way they were trying to set up her son to some harlots.
She marched through the streets of the village with almost every villager following her path like blind devotees. Can't these people appreciate her now much needed privacy?
In the end, Kushina sighed. This whole situation was getting rather troublesome (a certain Nara sneezed at this). She wondered how her husband was handling all this...
Minato Namikaze is a man quite infamous for his cool temperament and calm demeanor. His cold and chilling emotionless eyes would bore into his enemy's soul and make them freeze in their path and also on the other end of the spectrum; his warm bright smile could light up the whole day. He is also known for his shrewd thinking skills and ability to maintain calm in the moment of panic. For this reason, he has at occasional times been proclaimed as one of the calmest shinobi. But now, at this precise moment, he was on the verge of losing this title as he saw the commotion that was taking place in front of his eyes as he sat in his designated Hokage chair in the council chamber where a meeting was being held and like every time, civilian council were doing their best job of screaming and howling like stray dogs at the top of their lungs.
"HE IS OUR SAVIOUR! HE'S A GOD INCARNATE!"
"HE SHOULD BE NAMED THE NEXT HOKAGE!"
"HOKAGE-SAMA, PLEASE LET YOUR SON BE BETROTHED TO MY DAUGHTER!"
A tick mark formed on his head as Minato finally after ages for the first time let his temper loose
"SILENCE!"
The whole room was stilled to muteness. They never in their whole lifetime saw their Hokage ever being this angry and loosing his calmness. They particularly knew that their Hokage was one of the deadliest ninja to grace this village along with the Shodaime and Madara Uchiha, so in a rare moment of intelligence, they decided to keep their mouth shut.
Minato was not at all in his usual demeanor as he was glaring in all direction at all those people who were thinking of turning his only son into a breeding catalyst. The whole chamber was frozen as nobody dared to even twitch their muscle when their hokage was showing his wrath. Finally Shikaku of all the people decided to summon up some courage with a single thought of troublesome.
"Um…Minato"
"What!" Minato snapped towards Shikaku as he was rather in a foul mood. Shikaku cringed at the harsh tone that Minato used at him 'Why am I doing this, Urgh troublesome'
"You need to calm down Minato; word has already spread across the whole elemental nation that Naruto single handedly made the strongest biju Kyuubi no Kitsune disappear and saved both yours and Kushina's life at the same time"
This made Minato scowl, if the information did indeed spread across the whole elemental nation then his son's life would always be in constant danger in future as there would be the threat of assassination from other hidden villages, so that they could eliminate a potential future threat. When a child was able to accomplish such a feat of defeating the strongest biju in his mere infancy, one cannot fathom to think what he could do in the future.
Minato sighed in the end. He didn't know why but he was easily rattled up when it came to the matter of his son, maybe he was that much protective of his son. He hoped that his son's future wouldn't be too much in danger
Shikaku was indeed right when he said that the word spread quickly across the elemental nations. It swept its way first through the Kaze no Kuni (Wind country), Tsuchi no Kuni (Earth country), Kaminari no Kuni (Lightning country) and lastly crossed the ocean to reach Mizu no Kuni (Water country). Its respective capitals and the respective kages of this capital received this vital piece of information but it seems that they were having a tough time coping with this news…
Iwagakure no Sato; Tsuchikage's office
Onoki, the Sandaime Tsuchikage was stting behind his office desk as he rubbed his temple to ease the headache he was suddenly feeling when he received the information that was quickly garnering fame. He didn't know why it always happened with him. The blasted Fourth Hokage Yellow flash was the reason why Iwa lost the third shinobi war, making himself an immortal enemy with Iwa. Now this fact that Kiroi Senko's son in his mere infancy defeated the strongest among the biju, the mighty Kyuubi no Kitsune and somehow saved both his father and mother from death when they were critically exhausted in chakra capacity, it seemed old age was really catching up to him. Now because of the blasted Yellow flash who fathered such a child, he had to make all sorts of plan so that Yondaime's son wouldn't become a threat to his village in the future. Blast, he could already feel another headache coming.
"I'm too old for this shit"
Kumogakure no Sato
The village hidden in clouds is known to be among one of the most peaceful village along with Konohagakure no Sato if you exclude the night of Kyuubi's attack and third shinobi war (Then what the hell is left!). People were going through their normal routine as shops were busy with chattering customers and streets were buzzing with shuffling foots of the many civilians that came out on the road. Everything was so much calm and peaceful in this village…
"WHAT!"
The voice roared across the whole village as everybody snapped their necked in unison towards the Raikage tower from where the voice came.
Raikage's Office
A, the Yondaime Raikage was fuming in anger as a broken desk was lying in front of him while two shinobi were busy cowering themselves in a corner of the office. Raikage was furious, downright furious when he heard that a mere infant that too none other than the son of the only person who was faster than him in the shinobi world accomplished the feat of defeating the mighty Kyuubi no Kitsune and saved both his father and mother from the clutches of death all the while he was just a hour born baby. This infuriated him to no end. How could a child of such unimaginable potential take birth in a village where his rival was residing, and to add salt to the wound, this child is the son of none other than his rival, the yellow flash Minato Namikaze.
Now there is no time to time to mope on this matter as he needed to plan for the future and think how to get his hands on this power while still being careful of the strongest shinobi of the elemental nations.
When he thought of this, he could already feel his headache and fury building inside his body. Damn the child for taking birth in konoha, damn Yellow Flash for fathering the child, Damn everything!
"BLAST YOU MINATO!" Raikage shouted to the heavens as he himself blasted through the window and dashed towards the forest to pent out his frustration all the while cursing his rival for his misery
Amegakure no Sato
A person spiral orange mask with single eye hole was meditating in an isolated room, as he had his eyes closed which slowly opened to reveal a revolving Sharingan. He wore a black cloak outfit with red clouds imprinted on it. He slowly stood up from his place as he walked towards a demonic statue which looked to be made of steel as it had its eyes closed.
Suddenly the statue opened its eyes to reveal red devil eyes that could bore its gaze through a person's soul.
"Obito, he has arrived…you failed in your mission" The statue said in a deep growling devilish voice as its red glowing eyes bore its gaze towards the masked man as if it was penetrating through the mask. The masked man now revealed as Obito Uchiha, in an act of submission went down on one knee and bowed his head towards the statue.
"I'm sorry, I never thought that he would be able to use that much power while being a just born baby" Obito said all the while keeping head down in front of the statue.
"You should have known it already, as I think I told you about him. His powers are unparalleled across the whole universe, the likes of which that even I can't fathom to think of" Said the deep growling voice
"Then what should we do?"
The statue grunted as if to indicate that it was thinking "We should lay low now, even though Kyuubi is no longer in this plane, I could still get the portion of my powers back which he took away from me millenniums of years ago. Now go, plan for the future my minion" With that the statue closed its eyes once again and became lifeless again.
Obito stood up from his kneeling position as he raised his head to reveal his Sharingan tornoes revolving violently
"Hai…Master"
There done. I know it's a short chapter but there's nothing I could do. But I assure you that the chapters would be lengthy though not on epic scale as I said, I usually write 6K+ or 10K+ a chap.
Well now I think some of your confusion is cleared as you would have already guessed Naruto's identity, if not then as I said in the previous chap Go drown yourself.
I hope this chapter was satisfactory and Please leave reviews, I appreciate it
