Prologue
There was a time when I was all alone. With no where to go, and no place to call a home. I had no one to call a friend, no one to call family.
But then I met my first friend and only friend. My only friend was a woman in the moon, but even she would sometimes go away.
She couldn't stay in the light, but she would always return in the night. With the sweetest smile just to talk to me for awhile, but always the light would return and she would go away for another little while.
She said, her name was Kaguya and that is what I should call her. But no, I ended up calling her mother for awhile.
When I first saw her she looked like a fallen angel to me, which wasn't far off from what she truly was. She was truly a goddess! A goddess of all things, had taken her interest in me.
I wondered why she took an interest in me, she said that it was because I looked lonely. Which I was, oh how I was. But, looking at her, I could see that she too was lonely!
So I did what any good child would do, I promised that I would make sure she was never lonely again. She was my first friend, my only family, even if I would only see her in the night. So of course I would try to make sure she wasn't lonely.
However, returning home one night I wanted to try something new out. You see, whenever I was at the park, or leaving the academy I would see the other children hugging their family when they came to pick them up, or friends when they were leaving.
So, I tried to hug Kaguya, the Goddess in the moon, the one I called my mother. But, I couldn't, I didn't understand. Was I crazy? Was she even real? I had never noticed that we had never had actual contact before.
Yet, she calmed me down, and told me that she wasn't really here. She was just a weak genjutsu from the moon. I didn't really know what that meant, but I asked if I could ever actually hug her. I wanted to hug my family, it looked fun...and I never was hugged before really. It was something that friends and family did, and I wanted to do the same.
She said, sure...but I would have to do something for her. For even though she was a Goddess, a Goddess in the moon, she couldn't truly leave it. For she wasn't a Goddess of the moon. Her body and soul was trapped there, cursed to forever watch the earth go round and round yet never set foot on it again.
It was why she was lonely. But, if I became strong enough, and followed her directions, that I could break her out of the moon and make sure she was never lonely again.
So I made a promise. To make sure she was never alone again.. For I was once a child with no ambition, no family, no place to call a true home. But she gave me a route to go down, to gain all those things I had never had. A real family, a place that felt like a real home with her.
Thusly, I, Naruto Uzumaki at the ripe old age of 8 made a promise to the Goddess trapped in the moon, to make sure she was never lonely again. By breaking her free of her prison.
That was also the night where a blood red moon, with the likening of an eye would shine brightly. With nine tomoe appearing to be there spinning hypnotically. For it was the day of the Uchiha massacre and many plans were brought to fruition, and others just starting.
Waking up the next day after making the promise of his life time, one Naruto Uzumaki didn't really know what do. The Goddess in the moon told him that by becoming strong, stronger then anyone else before that he would be able to free her from the moon. But he had no clue how to do so.
She had told him that he needed to become strong, stronger then anyone else to release her from her prison. Bu he was still only eight years of age, having barely started training to become a ninja of his nation, or his village.
Beforehand, he didn't really know if he wanted to become a ninja, he just did it because the old man said it would make people respect him. That they would stop bullying him stop glaring at him. But it never stopped, if anything it became more common.
However, he knew one thing, the strongest person in the village was a ninja. A ninja that led his village, the Hokage of Konoha, the old man. So perhaps he should go for that position? If he remembered correctly, from the few teachings he could remember during class, the four Hokages were all considered the strongest ninja of their time during their prime. Being the Hokage essentially meant being the strongest person in the world.
So perhaps he should try and become Hokage? He would have to ask his kaa-chan later on tonight. He would do anything to break the Goddess in the moon out of her prison. Even if it required him to do something only a few cold even dream of becoming. Because he had to, it was for his family after all.
Ehh, he would think about it more once at the academy. Maybe the bastard could help him out some. She might have been a cold ice princess, but she was still the strongest in his class by far.
