What Happened?
Chapter 10
Resurrection
"I CALL UPON YOU ELDER GODS, HOLD YOUR END OF THE DEAL! REVIVE MY FRIEND, NARUTO UZUMAKI NAMIKAZE!"
The clouds parted and six huge, golden, glowing dragons flew out from the sky towards Kurama and the downed ninja and company. All six dragons landed in a circle around them. Each dragon was twice the size of Kurama, and they faced inwards towards the one they spoke.
"Kurama, the Nine Tailed Fox of the Elemental Nations. We, the Elder Gods, hear your plea. Millennia ago, when we split the Juubi into nine beings, you were given a choice between eternal containment or being turned into a chakra construct and being sealed into a human. We know it was a heavy price to pay. As recompense, we also gave you the option to be permantely bonded to the one you felt worthy of you power, loyalty, and friendship. Also, part of the deal was that, because of the acts of whatever human you weould be with, would also determine what happened to you after your sealing time was complete. It was decided that you would be partially responsible for your own outcome after your sealing, due to the fact that you would have some influence on your container.
Kurama, Nine Tailed Fox Demon of the Elemental Nations, we, the Elder Gods, have deemed you worthy of your freedom. You played an enormous role in the boy's suffering in his early years, but ultimately you are also playing a major role in not only his survival, but also Earthrealm's. Because of your due diligence, loyalty, and perseverance, we shall grant you your freedom, and whatever single choice you so desire. Simply inform us of what it is, and it shall be yours."
Kurama was stunned. He didn't expect them to do all of this. "WHAT I DESIRE, IS FOR THIS YOUNG MAN, NARUTO, TO BE RESSURECTED BACK TO LIFE, WITH THE PROPER MEANS TO PROTECT HIMSELF AND EVERYONE HE HOLDS DEAR. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO REMAIN A PART OF HIM. I WOULD LIKE FOR HIM TO 'SUMMON' ME EVERY NOW AND THEN, BUT NARUTO IS MY FRIEND. I WILL NOT ABANDON HIM."
"Is this your decision Kurama?"
"IT IS, ELDER GODS."
"Very well. Kurama, we the Elder Gods, hereby declare you free from your sealing. You shall now remain a part of Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. You will prolong his life with your chakra, along with his own Uzumaki bloodline, as well as whatever mates he shall have in the future."
The elder gods turned back to the body of Naruto. All of the girls could do nothing, they were in complete shock of what just happened. Especially Ino and Sakura! The nine tails just spoke to a bunch of gods, what the hell! They felt so small and insignificant to the huge beasts.
Then, the Elder Gods spoke in a different language no one could understand. As one, all six Elder Gods bean chanting, repeating the same phrase over and over. After a couple of minutes of this happening, they suddenly stopped. They all stood on their hind legs, spread out their wings in full, and gave one, huge, collective roar that shook the world itself.
"RRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!"
Immediately, Naruto's body began glowing the same hue of gold as the Elder Gods. He was lifted up right, set on his feet, and was held there by an unknown, unseen force. Then he glowed such a bright gold that everyone had to shield their eyes from the brilliant glow. This continued on for at least a good five minutes. After all, bringing a life back from the dead, especially one that was self-induced, was no small matter.
Slowly, the glow began to soften. When everyone was able to look at the young man again, they couldn't believe what they were really seeing.
Naruto Uzuzmaki Namikaze was alive and well. He stood there, looking confused. "Wha-what happened? Why am I here?" he said to no one in particular.
"Daaaaammmnnnn," cooed Ino. "Someone's lookin' gooooooood! Mmmm-mm!"
"Puts Sasuke to shame that's for sure," Sakura agreed.
"I believe my Head Mate and leader of the Shokan has fully matured," approved Sheeva.
"Well my sisters," said Mileena to Kitana and Jade, "I think we have scored quite a handsome one, don't you think? Definitely worthy to be King of Outworld. And MY King as well, hehehehehe…"
Kitana an Jade could only nod in agreement. Even Kurama was impressed by Naruto's new look.
"NOW YOU LOOK LIKE A PROPER CONTAINER OF THE NINE TAILED FOX BRAT," Kurama complimented with a smirk.
Naruto didn't know what was going on. He looked at himself and saw that he was somehow wearing a blood red trench coat jacket over a black sleeveless shirt and pants. Around his waist was a regal, battle ready looking belt with a green drape in the front, signifying power and importance. He still had his headband in his usual spot. Underneath his shirt and pants he wore white chainmail. On the sides of his upper arms were metal plates in 3 overlapping each other. On his forearms he had gauntlets that looked like they were for both show and battle. On the inside piece of the gauntlet were compartments that stored a six inch blade that expel and retract(Assassins Creed hidden blade; Disclaimer, I don't own AC, but it would be cool as hell if I did!). There was a huge broadsword attached to his belt on the back(clouds sword from advent children), and a katana on his back. He wore greaves that protected his legs from the knees down. The whisker marks that adorned his face were darkened and more feral looking permanently.
He was dressed to look good and kill anyone and anything at the same time.
"I don't understand," said Naruto. "I…..ended it. I was finally…at peace. And now, I'm back? Why am I back? I didn't want to come back….I DIDN'T WANT TO COME BACK! I COULD REST FINALLY! PEACE! FOR THE FIRST TIME! AND IT DIDN'T EVEN LAST A FUCKING HOUR BEFORE IM BACK! WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO ME?!"
The Elder Gods spoke to him in calm and yet regal manner. They were showing sympathy for the poor boy, but they nonetheless still commanded respect.
"We are the Elder Gods, Uzumaki. Your friend here, Kurama, called us in to help you child. Everything shall be the way it was. We have restored you. However, we have not JUST restored you to your former self."
"Not just my former self? What the hell are you talking about?" Naruto said through clinched teeth. He was VERY pissed off. He was finally going to possibly see his parents, and yet again, another golden opportunity was ripped away from him.
"Clearly you were never had the truth revealed to you child. Your father, Minato Namikaze, sealed the fox within you, but it was with our help. Did you honestly think that a mere human, no matter how powerful,
Could seal away an entire chakra entity of pure, raw, destructive power? No, child. Also, the proper terminology we should use for your resurrection should be that we did not restore you, we granted you the knowledge and power of all of your ancestors. The Third Hokage was supposed to reveal this to you. Apparently, he did not.
No doubt you have questions. We will answer some of them."
Recognizing the cue, he said to the Elder Gods, "You said you granted me the powers of my ancestors. But who the hell were they to begin with?"
"There are too many for us to explain them all, perhaps it would be best for us both if we just told you the clans they were affiliated with. First off, of course, is the Uzumaki clan. Then, there is also the following clans that you are a descendant of, either directly or otherwise: the Uchiha Clan, Hyuuga, Yamanaka, Dragonian, Senju, and the Clan that really had no official name, but were known as the Brutes. Every one of these clans are nearly impossible to defeat. Of the Dragonain, Brute, Uzumaki, and almost the Senju, you are the last surviving heir. We have granted you the powers, abilities, and knowledge for each clan and their histories."
Mileena, always having a thing for over powered men, was practically drooling. Sheeva and Jade both had a smirk and mischievous look in their eyes, Kitana looked as if she had seen the hottest man on earth flash her, and Ino looked like she was going to jump and ride Naruto right then and there. Sakura, trying to be the modest out of the bunch, was desperately trying to keep her blush down while squeezing her thighs to hopelessly snuff out the raging fire between her legs.
"Damn," Naruto said. "The mother fucking First Hokage. I'm related to the First fucking Hokage…FUCK YEAH! Ok, you know what, I'm not so mad anymore now that I know all of this stuff. Damn, the Shodaime…..Fuuuuuuuck yyeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh…..man, that dude was a beast, and I'm related to him…"
"You are welcome young man. However, there is a small price that we ask of you in return for all of this power. We need you to help protect the realms. We Elder Gods cannot interfere with mortal matters unless they are under special conditions, such as this one. Kotal Kahn, the Aztec warrior who we know you've met, is planning on merging all of the realms into his own, much like Shao Kahn. However, he is trying to do it only halfway proper, through the Mortal Kombat Tournament. He has already attacked your realm, has he not? He will not stop until either he is dead or has succeeded. Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, We, the Elder Gods of All, task you with eliminating Kotal Kahn by any means necessary. Whether that be through the tournament or otherwise does not matter. What does matter, however, is that he is causing unbalance between the realms. You are the Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku. Sage Naruto, it is now up to you to save the Realms. Do this, and the Elder Gods of All shall owe you a debt. Do you accept this task?"
Naruto looked at his hands and clinched his fist. There was no way he was going to let any fuck tard become a tyrant and destroy anything, because the result would be some children suffering on the streets, just like he had. He couldn't allow that."I, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, accept the task given to me by the Elder Gods. I just would like to request one thing, if I could?"
"Ask away Sage Naruto."
"Can I have my mom and dad back?"
"This, child, we cannot do out of a simple request. However, because we want to help you in your journey, we shall allow it. That will be the last request we shall grant Sage Naruto."
The Golden Dragons that were the Elder Gods once again rose on their rear legs, spread their magnificent wings out to the fullest and gave another world shattering roar. Golden light shone around the area in the center of the group. As it started to die down, the Elder Gods spoke one last thing before they faded away.
"Sage Naruto Uzumaki, a request for a request. During your journey to eliminate Kotal Kahn, there is a more indirect unbalance in Earthrealm. An endless feud between the Shirai Ryu and the Lin Kuei have been going on for generations. Today, it affects the last remaining Shirai Ryu General, Hanzo Hazashi, also known as Scorpion. And the Lin Kuei assassin, Kuai Liang, also known as Sub-Zero. It is now added on to your current journey to do as much as possible to resolve this conflict. Good luck , Sage, you shall need it."
With that, the Elder Gods faded out of existence. The golden hue was still very bright, but it was fading quickly. Sakura, Ino, and Naruto couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"Naruto?" came a motherly voice from the shining light.
"Is that my son?" came another, a man this time.
When everyone had blinked away the light from their eyes, there stood Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, the parents of the Toad Sage himself.
Naruto, trying to blink the tears away from his eyes, muttered out with quivering lips, "Mom? Dad?"
Kushina had a very bright and welcoming smile on her face while her eyes were filled with love and warmth. "My son," she said a bit teary eyed, "come give your mommy a hug."
Without a second passing, Naruto launched himself at his mother, finally embracing her, getting what he has wanted his entire life. He felt and extra pair of arms wrap around the both of them. "My son, my wife," Minato began, "we can finally be together."
Naruto couldn't hold it anymore. He fell to his knees, crying out hysterically, arms still wrapped around his mother's legs. Letting everything that he had held in since he could remember, absolutely everything, he could finally let every bit of it go.
"I love you mom and dad," he finally got out.
"We love you too, son," said Kushina.
A/N: ahh snap! The Yellow Flash and the Red Hot Habanero are back in the land of the living! About damn time if you ask me. So, just so if any of you were not clear, Kurama, along with the rest of the Biju, when there split by Hagoromo with the help of the Elder Gods, because they were so ungodly powerful and pretty much untamed destruction waiting to happen, all of them were given the option of one of two things: one, become a mindless chakra construct and just get sealed into something, or actually have a chance at an actual life being sealed in someone, and once they were ok to live without destroying everything, controlling their urges so to speak, that they could have whatever they desired. That's what Kurama did. It makes sense to me. If it doesn't, please send me a review or PM or whatever wording it better.
So what did you guys think of this chapter? Like I said before, I once got a review saying that things were too rushed, is this better? Lemme know what's up! Goodnight you guys and take care of yourselves. Rokusai out
