Naruto's POV
Yeah… I wasn't thinking things through when I came up with this part of the plan… Then again, they accepted the proposal, so that's what matters. First things first, complain about the welt on my head.
"Yeah, my prank wasn't on the level, I admit that! Doesn't mean that you have to hit me hard on the head TWICE, Mom!"
"One was for the prank, the other was for the lie! I can't believe you would be a prankster at 4 years old" Mom exclaimed… I really need the nutrition situation handled- While ramen will ALWAYS be the food of the gods, it doesn't mean that it's completely nutritious.. Gods are just that, gods- they can always convert what they eat to best suit their body. Better clear that up, stat!
"Really! The village has literally spoiled you if-" "First off, I'm 16 in a 6-year-old body!" Good, that shut them all up. Unfortunately, Mom's horror is just going to start though. "Second, I didn't need to know that Hashirama and Tobirama shared Mito- How does that work anyway? Third, the only thing I lied about was my identity- I swear on ramen that what I told you about my life in Konoha is true to the dot! Finally, I look like I'm 6 because I've received my memories and chakra signature from the future- is that so hard to understand?"
Somehow the oath on ramen -of all things -brought dawning horror on the Uzumaki ladies' faces. What's up with- Oh. SHIT. Ramen is sacred to all Uzumaki, apparently. Which means I just managed to piss off two of the strongest women I know of, and their ire is now directed at Konoha. Normally, that can be either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the circumstances. With the supposedly famous Uzumaki temper? NOT GOOD.
"Calm down, you two! Things are now about to change, so keep a lid on it!" I nearly yelled. Apparently, my previous reincarnation, his brother, and my father are domestically poor, since they only now noticed their spouses' temper.
While they calm down and get over the shock of it all I need to think about the new issues that'll come up. 1) Keep the Uzumaki ladies (and Dad) from destroying Konoha. 2) Get some training and family time in for two years, as per plan. 3) Mitigate the Uchiha Massacre, to keep Sasuke from going for revenge. I hate to say this, but a measure of force is necessary to calm them down. 4) Eliminate Danzo Shimura the night he tries to kill Shisui… A good brother figure for Sasuke, alongside Itachi will be needed. 5) Take Zetsu out… I don't have a proper timeline for the jinchūriki being captured, so prevent it at the source. ALternatively, should the idiots known as politicians decide that warring is a good idea, let the war come, but prevent the complete loss of the Bijū. I will not lose even one of them completely. Contacting the Bijū in the Deepscape should be good enough.
That said, did they really have to resort to Mokuton to restrain them? Man, the Hokage are weak against their wives… Pitiful.
"I told you to calm down, not to fight! Why are you using jutsu like nobody's business?" I use a blank tone as that escapes my deadpan face.
Hashirama started his (apparently) famous depression routine, Tobirama just scowled worse, and Dad… he figured out how to look sheepish and scared at the same time. I can't even- whatever. "Ladies, are you calm? If so, we can discuss things like rational people."
Mom and Mito reluctantly nodded, and we all sat on the ground. Time to share information. "Now then, since we're all rational people, I'll just tell you that I'm in the past only because I want a certain someone to rest in peace That's you Hagoromo and I wouldn'tve done it otherwise. Hashirama's idea was good in the short run, but it just scaled up conflicts to what are now known as the first, second and third Ninkaisen." Hashirama restarted his depression routine at that, while Tobirama seemed to want to slice me up.
"Madara didn't exactly die till the end of the third such war- I'll get to that in a sec- and he'd had help manipulating events- Rin Nohara and the birthday attack come to mind- but the man is now officially strong enough to fuck up all five kage at once while alone. Hashirama and Tobirama, along with Mū and Ōnoki being exceptions." That brought up expressions of disbelief all around. Mom and Dad because of the info about Rin and Kurama being forced to attack, Mito because as a sensor she should've detected him, and the Rama Brothers because people capable of equalling Madara apart from them exist
"The man has a twisted goal- one he started a Fourth fucking Ninkaisen for. My job is to bring world peace- Lessjustsay I'm not exactly normal anymore- and I'm not afraid to ask for help- Like I said, world peace." Hashirama looks betrayed, and I don't even blame him. He can't help it when it comes to Madara. Tobirama looks like he wants to find and kill all of Madara's compatriots, Mito is contemplating something, and the folks look confused.
"The final stage of what he called the Tsuki no Me plan started the moment I was born" Cue the pandemonium from my parents.
"You'll tell us everything you know and we'll take care of it! No one's putting MY SON in DANGER!" Whoa, I didn't think Dad of all people would lose his temper.
"MY SON WILL NOT BE PLANNING FOR WAR! DO YOU HEAR ME!?" I reiterate that an angry mother can be scary as hell. Time to stop the fire dead cold, though.
"Madaa saved Obito from the brink of death, then tortured him via genjutsu, then made him witness the Rin's death, then died, leaving Obito to take on the name of Madara" It worked… a bit too well in fact.
"I'm going to need proof, Naruto" I knew Dad saw Obito as his favourite, but the level of denial in his voice is concerning.
"Kakashi's Mangekyo Sharingan, which he received from Obito, led him to the same realm the masked idiot who attacked us utilizes for his attacks. The only difference is that the masked man uses short range, Kakashi uses long range. Also, he bloody announced it in the future." Whoa, Dad's starting to resemble Hashirama… Cool, but not really.
And I guess he can't recover as fast. "Look, if it makes you better, I'll tell you that Madara planned for Obito to be his pawn… also, he did repent near the end. So, you can be proud of him, after I knock some sense into him, of course." That helps, but they still don't know all the details.
"As an Uzumaki, I command you to tell us everything you know and how to prevent it" Mito needs to relax. She does realize that the Uzumaki are almost done for, right?
"As an Otsūtsuki, I humbly refuse." Too soon? "Yes" I wasn't asking you, Hagoromo.
"Otsūtsuki?" Too soon. "You really have a talent for pissing people off- you should've figured that out before." Kurama managed to roast me well for the first time… But why the seductive tone?
"I'll get to that later though. Point is the final stage involves capturing the Biju and sealing them into a big-ass statue called the Gedo Mazo, which is only summonable if you have the Rinnegan, to revive the Jubi, which will then be sealed into a revived- Not Edo Tensei, Tobirama, though that is required for what I'm talking about- Madara. He will then proceed to cast a bloody genjutsu on the entire population of Ninkai, using the Moon to do so. Mad as I am, that isn't even the endgame" I need to catch my breath and get rid of the oppressive feeling commonly known as Killing Intent (KI) coming off all present.
"Naruto? My dear son?" OK, I'm starting to get scared now. "Why ever would you think of stopping this alone?" Stop smiling Mom, and open those eyes, I beg you!
Hagoromo decided he was coming out at that moment… Somehow, I'm not even surprised anymore.
"I am sorry that you have to meet me in this situation, but since your son is doing all this for me, I believe I should introduce myself." No, Hagoromo, not yet!
"Next time, inform me, dammit! I would've handled it myself, Hagoromo" My words don't exactly inspire confidence, but the fact is it is true… I just need to get over my fear of Mom!
"Since you're here, maybe you could introduce yourself anyway" Great job, Dad, you're the consummate diplomat! Doesn't change the shock factor now, though… Or does it?
"Get back in there! We got time for introductions later!" Dragging the Rikudō Sennin into my mindscape (My sense of reality is warped anyway, but this is new heights even for me, especially if this is starting to be normal for me). Still, this isn't topping the ability I got when I was 5.
"I'll introduce him to you guys later… On second thought though..." Thinking about it, he needs to be here in a few minutes anyway, soooo " He'll be back out now, but he won't talk until the right time, will you?" Hagoromo fearfully nods at my smile and sweet tone. He still proceeds to levitate himself to an acceptable position.
"No one ever said anything about doing this alone alone, Mom" I remind her. I mean, I wouldn't exactly think myself that strong anyway, but still.
"Why else would training you be the only reason you brought us back then!?" "I never said I wouldn't have allies, though. You can't change the world alone, and the last thing I want to do is be a tyrant." Man, how I can be like her yet be like Dad is still a mystery. "Besides, I called you here because I need a family. You are my family- Yes, Dad, even the threesome behind you- and I'll be damned if people harm you without just cause. We're getting off track tho"
Mito is being kissed by both of the Rama brothers. Not sure if I need to see this. I clear my throat. "The three of you can get real steamy later, and I don't care if you wanna do it in front of a baby. Focus for now!" I can see that the mistress is embarrassed, but why is Tobirama blushing? Wait- is he pouting!? Shaking my head, I get back to business.
"Back on topic, Madara's plan isn't the endgame. There is this black entity known as Zetsu, who claims to be the manifestation of Madara's will. It actually is the manifestation of another person's will. This person is the mother of the Rikudō Sennin, and her name is Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. She was sealed away by her two sons- Hagoromo and his younger brother, Hamura. I think Hagoromo here can explain the rest".
My throat needs rest.
Sorry this took so long! I had an exam in February, and I had to get used to class again for my last semester of undergraduate college. I had the other stories to think about as well , so this took longer than usual! I think my next update will be around this time next month, so look forward to it!
If you can, please review! I promise to do a regular update for all my stories!
For those wondering, Naruto's life in Konoha will be depicted in Chapter 7
