Chapter one
Time to oneself and reflection
Just like that it was over, kaguya lay there as the sealing took effect knowing she was defeated. All her efforts, planning and patience for several centuries gone. The one responsible for this was few hundred meters below her, staring at her just after flinging next to her the shadowling that had helped her to be unsealed and had been annoyingly calling her "mother". Kaguya focused her gaze on the boys stare half expecting a smug look or a hatred filled glare, that was the cycle of pain and hatred that this boy had perpetuated. Yet much to her surprise, the look gave her shook to her core (that's a lot seeing in the manga not even being sealed made apparent much emotion). the gaze those deep electric cerulean eyes were giving her was that of comprehension phasing to forgiveness laced with the need to know. His gaze pierced her and only sough to know and understand how she wound up like she had, trying to conceive the feeling of betrayal and disappointment , attempting to relate to her pain and be in her place. Failing to do so completely as the dimension's portal started to collapse yet giving her one last forgiving stare. Kaguya was just stunned at this and didn't start to realize naruto's reasons until sometime later. Like that she simply was thrown into the darkness only her consciousness remaining or perhaps not even that and just dream.
Just how much time had passed, she didn't have a way to know. Not that it matered seeing (figure of speech, HA!) that she was gonna be trapped for eternity or the end of time, whichever came first. In this darkness, at the lack of something better to do, she started to ponder about what had happened. Her plan had been almost flawless, carried out with utmost patience, and dedication yet the 1 in a million chance of failing HAD happened. The blond boy incarnation of ashura overturned every single pinch and dire situation he had had.
"shouldn't had been possible"
"yet it was possible" heard herself saying, was it herself? Did she actually created an split persona?
"maybe, I AM in your head; but who is to know"
"better company than the black husk"
"you mean the black blob brat, as naruto called him"
"…"
"what?"
"…"
"you do know ashura's incarnation is named naruto"
"why do you know that, and actually the nickname is fitting"
"meh, I know what you know so must probably shrugged it off, during the fight"
"I guess so" it was quite possible, during the fight she didn't actually took them seriously, maybe until almost the end of it. And that was her mistake.
"you can say that again" that actually annoyed kaguya a bit
"sore spot? But you know, was that our only mistake?" that made her frown, sort off, what does that mean she got the feeling that question didn't restrict itself to solely the fight. But her planning had been perfect to that point even her puppets that thought themselves the master minds.
"I mean naruto seemed quite ticked off at our plan and unlike you took it very seriously to prove you wrong"
"And how would him being ticked off or how serious he was be a deciding factor?"
"then what else? At this point if your plan was perfect, what else could it be" that actually hit home, as much as she wanted to diminish it apparently the boy's determination must have had an influence.
"seems so, yet just proves that humanity is being consumed in the endless cycle of hatred" the fact that he had defeated her relaying in his hate of her proved it.
"was he now?"
"¡!"
"how could he not!"
"I don't know, however did his last gaze to you felt hatefull?" kaguya pondered again the gaze of the boy and much to her surprise his gaze and the look he gave her wasn't that of hate at all. However she was unable to pinpoint how it felt to her that gaze.
"anger had a lot of it"
"yet no hate"
"Quite the paradox" indeed just how was that possible to be angry but not to hate
"maybe if you single out the motif of his anger"
"I killed his companions?"
"…" somehow kaguya KNEW she had facepalmed
"you can do better than that dear" during the war, even before the she revealed herself, the boy…
"naruto"
"what?"
"his name is naruto, its getting unnerving you calling him boy all the time"
"whatever" naruto most have had to lose lots of important people and if she were to consider that the events of his birthday were part of the plan, well… his whole hell of a childhood was her fault. How did she knew that?
"but he boasted his pride as shinobi to no end"
"he did say something of the history of the shinobi being wrote by the shinobi that died building it"
"so he's not mad at dying part"
"seems he accepts it, but then what was cause of his anger if not the deaths of his companions. It didn't seemed that he was indifferent to them"
"Perhaps it's about the why, he was pretty pissed at the 3xB (Black Blob Brat)" kaguya almost chuckled at the mention of it
"Because I enacted my plan, meaning they had to die, which could be interpreted as sacrifices for it"
"He also called it a foolish and unnecessary plan" but it was necessary, had it succeeded the cycle of….
"hey keep up with the program you already where defeated" she let a mental sight
"then in his point of view they were unnecessary sacrifices of his most beloved, but didn't hate me?" kaguya felt she was at square one. But kept thinking, if not her, then he hated solely her actions? As improbable that seemed to her that was her conclusion
"making progress"
"…" oddly assertive. that was somewhat out of the way. Back at his gaze, somehow understanding more now kaguya realized that it was a somewhat sad look but most of all it somehow seemed to her as if he was looking for something. She recalled the fight step by step, move by move, second to second. Slowly something began to dawn on her; naruto despite his obvious total reject of her ideal of peace was trying something during the whole fight. It felt as with each strike they traded he tried to "see" her, to understand her and place himself in her place. A slight flare of anger swell up in her, how could he even attempt to do such a thing he was her enemy and vice versa, how could he even began to understand that the her very sons had standed against her and had perpetuated the perversion of her gift. Did he mean to most remotely stand in her place to comprehend her and yet completely deny her resolution and dream, her only ambition and cherished dream of peace, her reason d'entre. Yet he had tried just that, didn't he.
Kaguya in denial retraced her thoughs, musings and battle images as if movies they were. Analyzing everything in almost all angles a thousand times, and yet a thousand more. She felt herself dropping to her knees sort to speak. She felt defeated and tired, naruto had demonstrated even while battling her; the very essence of what she and her son Hagoromo had failed to do with their gifts to humanity. She felt for him, she felt for the pain she had inflicted on his body and soul. She wept and despaired, she wanted to make it up for him.
"And just how far would you be willing to go for that chance?" said a booming feminine voice, kaguya truly looked up as the darkness was dispelled and a figure covered in light; she was light, appeared in front her.
(Line break)
"ohh come on baa-chan! You know this is what I've been aiming since day one at the academy!"
Screamed to the top of his lungs certain hyperactive-knucklehead-unpredictable blond ninja. earning him a sound smack on the head courtesy of the always strong tsunade senju. Albeit it was a more tamed smack than most of the time. Containing her anger at certain uncalled honorific, due to her understanding the brats anger.
"don't I know it naruto, you practically yelled that at least 20 times a day since I met you and I'm certain you did so even before."
"Please, just 20? That's a plain understatement" said a certain fox like chakra being
"you serious?" answered the monkey king son goku in disbelief
"I've been with the kit since day one, trust me on a good(or bad) he can go up to 50"
"hey quit down! Or I'm dropping the toori!"
"HA! I dare ya" mocked the sand tanuki shukaku, next thing he knew six giant toori's pinned him down by the arms, legs, tail and neck resulting in said tanuki snarling some curses in a more quiet tone
"Anyone else, said the blonde mentally raising an eyebrow"
"We're good thank you" said the remaining bijuu in unison back to reality tsunade hadn't finished talking.
"while I'm certain that you'll become a great hokage one day, you're still not ready. You already have the strength and power as well the trust of all the citizens if not all of the shinobi in the land, and carry the will of fire deep in you but you still lack one crucial thing" seeing he remained surprisingly silent she paused
"what?" said naruto
"nothing, sorry, as I said the one thing you lack right now is experience as a leader and having the responsibility of ensuring the well being of those under you. Which why I'm making two edicts here and now" saying the last part with the seriousness of the Godaime Hokage. Naruto as well as shizune, shikamaru, hinata, sakura, kakashi, the rest of the konoha 11 and the now returned sasuke; catched on and straitened up taking a serious pose.
"As of now I'm declaring that the seat of the Rokudaime Hokage will belong to Hatake Kakashi, as he is the one I select as my successor once I retire in the following months. Adding to that the motion of selecting Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto as his successor in addition of an inmediate promotion of said Genin to ANBU class and later assignment as team leader after a performance test, effective as of now" as she said that an ANBU with a standard ANBU uniform except for a dark reddish vest and a spider mask, appeared in the room with a brand new ANBU armor and uniform and a pure white ANBU mask in hand.
"wow, hito-chan is that what I think it is"
"you're the only one to still call that still at my age naru-kun" said the ANBU Capt in neutral voice yet naruto knew she was amused, because of the naru-kun
"wait!, how you know who she is, assuming she's a she?" said a bewildered sakura
Naruto turn to her and flashed his foxy grin, earning hinata a slight blush
"I've know almost all of the senior members of the ANBU since before the academy"
"as much as it pains me to say it, he did vandalized the hokage mountain in plain day, escaped the ANBU chasing him at the age of 8, wearing an orange jumpsuit if I might add" said the ANBU Capt
"again, you got to be kidding me" facepalmed Son Goku
"wow, naru-kun you're more fox like than kurama" smirked Matatabi
"as if! He can only wish so!" roared Kurama
"if he ever wasn't stealthy it was because he himself didn't wish so"
"or was stupid enough to not to do so" remarked Kurama
"can it!"
Oblivious to this s inner dialogue of sorts were 11 stunned shinobis that were staring in a mix of awe and awkwardness as if they were seeing him for the first time. Said person was merely scratching his back head sheepishly. In the afterlife certain uchiha ex-captain was laughing his ass off remembering his companions being victims of the blonde maelstrom.
so hope you liked this pilot chapter, i'll be posting two more chapters even if it not well recieved (hope not thx 4 the love) this is my first fanfiction but i'm actually workin in my own novel. I'm checking if the regulations permit for self advertisement :3 if they do i'll post a link. please comment and leave an opinion, preferably constructive but if you wanna flame/hate/etc you're in your right and in mine to ignore you
clarifying somethings, naruto its not OP or god like but he's fairly strong (beat a primordial sooo yeah) and he isnt gonna insta kyuubi mode every single enemy. also i'm making him sligthy more cunning and less air headed, possible mild-bashing later in the story(sorry but just hate some characters in both universes) there will be multiple couples yes and maaaaaybe lemons later if i see good response, naruto isnt the only one getting some love 3.
i'm a fan of the narutoXPOJ crossovers so stories of HaretaSora, shadow12, godospartan the Kitsune, HistorianoftheKais, YagamiNguyen have been an inspiration and some concepts may be similar
again thx for reading
