Prologue Part 2: Uzumaki Naruto
Naruto Uzumaki knew he wasn't a regular twelve year old and the constant stares and whispers about him from the villagers wasn't his first clue. You see, our little friend had never been what humans, albeit humans capable of performing superhuman feats, label as normal. For one was his appearance, at just twelve Naruto stood at an astonishing height of 5'9. He has a tanned complexion, blond, spiky hair and blue-green eyes and slightly a round heart-shaped face and a highly fit body. One built for strength and speed and put to shame most professional shinobis. Despite their apprehension of the boy, the villagers would always wonder how he gained such an optimal body at such a young age but most chalked it up to his burden and left it at that.
Naruto would always nonchalantly shrug his shoulders when asked by his academy peers on how he had gotten so fit but the results of his fitness were obvious, he ranked first among all of the shinobi academy in stamina, speed, strength, and endurance. The other students, namely a certain Rock Lee, would endlessly try to match up to him, but they always fell short...by a long, long margin. Many shinobi that did not have prejudices against the young boy could only shiver in fear as to how much power he would gain once his chakra was unlocked at thirteen.
One downside though was that he could not find any clothes in his age category that fit him. Adult clothes were too expensive and a bit too small as the typical male in Konoha was only 5'7. His classmate and close friend Akimichi Choji had offered to talk to his father and maybe order a few sets of clothes that could fit him for a while, as the Akimichi clan had to order custom clothes due to their clan techniques requiring a corpulent body, but Naruto's pride refused help from anyone. Instead, he bought a set of bulky orange and blue jackets with a white collar, a white swirl with a tassel on the left side, and a red spiral crest that suspiciously looked like the symbol he saw attributed to him by the Sandaime on the back. He also wore black pants with a shuriken holster on his right knee, blue sandals, and an orange headband. This is typically the outfit that our hero wears.
Now you might say, "He doesn't seem that much out of the norm to me." But, my friend, there's much more to this specimen. Naruto had the best ears and nose of all of Konoha, only the fellow members of Kiba, his friend, of the Inuzuka clan could claim to be even close to him in those regards. Naruto also had one of the brightest minds in the village, second only to the Nara clan. More than once, Shikamaru Nara, another friend of his, openly wondered if Naruto was a superhuman made inside a madman's lab using the genes of the clans of Konoha. If it wasn't for the Sandaime's Shinobi Specialization Act, a rule that forbids academy students from graduating before reaching the age of 16, the general consensus was that Naruto would be a fully-fledged Special Jonin a year or two after graduating at best. After all, he was the strongest, fastest, and smartest student; coupled with his enhanced senses and sharp mind, Naruto Uzumaki was a freak of nature. Once he gained the adequate battle experience, one could say he would become a god in human skin...oh the irony.
For all the compliments he received, Naruto stayed humble, He did not walk around with an air of superiority unlike most 'prodigies.' He kept his entourage small, but he was kind and helpful to all. He did occasionally have a temper and a bit of pride, but you know what they say, "Nobody is perfect." So, Naruto knew he wasn't normal but perhaps he had finally found the end to his weirdness.
"Where the fuck am I?!" A panicked Naruto yelled, the young boy looked around his surroundings and he could only see endless grassy plains stretching on and on forever. Fruit trees of various types dotted the landscape and a crystal blue river ran through the plain.
"This place is not too shabby," Naruto analyzed, "but how did I get here? Think Naruto think"
Several foxes curiously came out of their burrows to see what the commotion was about. One brave kit walked up to Naruto and sat at his feet, its big eyes staring up at him. Naruto squatted down and smiled at the kit and reached to pet it. He didn't fear the possibility of the kit biting him as animals had always taken a liking to him whenever he tried petting them.
"You wouldn't happen to know where I am, would you little guy?" Naruto rhetorically asked the fox as it rubbed itself against his hand.
"We-we're in your mindscape, Naruto-sama." This was the squeaky response he got.
"My mindscape?" Naruto thought, surprisingly unfazed that a fox just addressed him. His eyes suddenly widened as he finally remembered what had occurred before he woke up in this bizarre place. "That motherfuc-"
Ninpo: Flashback no Jutsu
It was late in the afternoon and the school day was over. Naruto and his friends had decided to head to the Yakiniku Q for some high grade beef and relaxation from a tiring day at the academy. The boys entered the restaurant, paying little mind to the apprehensive looks that were thrown at Naruto. The waitress quickly ushered them to their habitual private low table in the corner and surrounded by cushions. Normally, the table would be equipped with a charcoal brazier in its center for customers who wanted to cook their own food, but considering the boys were minors nobody trusted them to not burn everything down.
"It's a pleasure to see you all again, especially you Akimichi-sama." The girl bowed her head to the young boys as they took their seats around the table.
"Yeah, I couldn't wait to come back," responded Kiba in a boisterous voice, as he plopped himself down on the cushion. "The food here is so good." He said while salivating.
Kiba possesses a wild appearance as, while clearly human, he has several physical traits more akin to animals. Like most of his clan, often nicknamed the 'Werewolf' clan, he has messy brown hair, sharp black eyes with vertical slit-like pupils, pronounced canine teeth, and nails that he can change into claws. He also has the distinctive red fang markings of the Inuzuka clan on his cheeks. Kiba's attire consists of dark greyish pants reaching to his calves and a grey, hooded fur-lined coat, with the hood usually placed on his head, over an apparent plate of armour and fishnet undershirt and blue sandals.
"I know, right? Kaa-san's recipes are the best!" This came from a rotund boy, with more drool running from his mouth, sitting to the left of Kiba.
This was Akimichi Choji, he has a round build and markings on his cheeks in the form of swirls. He has spiky, brown hair that sticks upward. He wears a green, short-sleeved haori with a long, white scarf over a light-green shirt, with the kanji for "food" (食, shoku) on it. He also wore black shorts, hoop earrings, and bandages around his legs and forearms. He has a hair wrap that is styled in a manner that allows two tufts of hair to poke out at each side like two short horns.
"I'm so glad dad bought this place." Choji drooled as he flipped through the menu that was placed before him, despite knowing they'd order most of the items like usual.
You see, Akimichi Eiko, Choji's mom, had gotten restless after retiring from her shinobi career to become a fulltime housewife. Seeing his wife's frustration, Choza, Choji's dad, bought the Yakiniku Q for a small fortune. The previous owner was a haughty lady who could not provide the quality for the prices she was demanding and she hastily accepted the offer she got from Choza. Under Eiko, the restaurant flourished and quickly started rivaling Ichiraku Ramen in popularity.
"Yes, the money invested was well spent. Why? According to the appraising office, the net worth of the Yakiniku has quintipled in only three years." Came the silent and subdued voice of another member of the group.
This was Shino Aburame. Shino sports the typical style as the rest of his clan, consisting of dark round sunglasses and a sea-green jacket with a high, upturned collar. He is a fair-skinned boy and he has dark, bushy, brown hair, normally covered by a hood and dark, narrow eyes. As with other members of his clan, Shino constantly keeps his eyes covered to others.
Kiba jumped away from the boy sitting to his right, causing him to bump into Choji, who proceeded to fall on the boy sitting...well more like sleeping next to him.
"Oof." The boy's eyes blanked from the sudden impact of weight that fell on him. Choji quickly got off him and started shaking him violently, "Shikamaru, Shikamaru. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for that to happen." The round boy panicked, not noticing the swirls in said Shikamaru's eyes.
Shikamaru has narrow brown eyes and a typical expression, like much of the Nara clan, usually suggesting he is either bored or irritated. He has shoulder length black hair tied in a spiky ponytail. He wears a short-sleeved grey jacket with green-edged sleeves and the rudimentary Nara clan symbol on the back, under which is a green-lined mesh armour T-shirt. He also wears brown pants, a pair of his clan's traditional silver hoop earrings.
Choji unceremoniously dropped Shikamaru on the wooden floor and angrily turned to face Kiba
"Why the hell did you bump into me, kibble-breath?" Choji practically growled, as he glared at Kiba.
Kiba, known for his never-ending stubbornness, glared right. "Why are you staring at me like I'm some freshly made pork chops? It's that creep over there who startled me." He pointed to Shino, who twitched in irritation at being called a creep.
Shino pressed his sunglasses up on his nose to recollect his composure. "It's incorrect for you to blame me. Why? I've been a member of this little group for the last eight months. Thus? You should know that I am present, dog boy." Shino hid his satisfied smirk as he watched Kiba shake in anger.
Kiba jumped on Shino, who let out a surprised yelp, and soon the two boys started rolling on the ground and wrestling. "Hey now, you two stop that right now!" Choji jumped into the fray, unknowingly somehow dragging poor Shikamaru in with him. Soon, the four boys became a comedic cloud with fists flying around.
The waitress sweatdropped at the childishness being displayed in front of her.
"Ahem" The girl jumped a bit and quickly blushed when her eyes fell on the last member of the table. Her eyes drank in the muscular form that was accentuated by a tight tank top. Her eyes quickly went up to meet the deep, blue-green eyes of the red-head.
"We'll have the usual." Naruto said in a deep smooth voice. He winked at the girl, as she hurriedly left to the kitchen embarrassed she had been caught. Naruto then turned back to his friend and nearly facepalm into the table because the boys were still deep in their battle royale.
"Why I even hang with these clowns, I will never know." Naruto thought with a sweatdrop.
The food quickly arrived and the boy begrudgingly let go of each other and retook their places. Kiba and Choji drooled at the sight of ribs, beef tongue, pork intestines, fried chicken, fried shrimp, rice, and vegetables. The boys said a short prayer and quickly dug into their food.
Even the normally reserved Shino joined in the wolfing down. A loud belch snapped the boys out of their reverie and they gawked at the sight of Naruto practically inhaling his food off the plate.
"Where does it all go?" was the collective thought of the boys as he moved from dish to dish.
"So….our chakra are going to be unsealed soon." Shikamaru drawled, the boy quieted down and took on pensive faces.
"Hmph, I say good riddance!" Kiba bit out as he spit out a polished rib, "I'm sick and tired of this limited supply of chakra. I can't even perform my clan techniques! I don't even have enough chakra to bond with my ninken, I'm the laughingstock of the clan!" Kiba slammed his fist in frustration. Shino nodded his head in agreement, as he too was the first non-civilian Aburame to not possess a hive yet. Naruto paid little attention to the conversation and chose to keep wolfing down food.
"Calm yourself, Kiba." Shikamaru said in a lazy drawl, "I can't access my clan shadow techniques, despite how chakra efficient they are and Choji's ability to convert calories into chakra was also blocked off."
Choji nodded in agreement, while resuming the stuffing of his face.
"Man, I hate this. Like why the hell did the Sandaime pass these stupid rules?" Kiba moaned as he slammed his head on the table from frustration.
"I too ask myself that question, in a less crude way of course," Shino took a slight dig at Kiba as he dug into a bowl of rice. "The Sandaime's rules do not seem logical. Why? Because, under this new system, only twenty one shinobis are produced every six years. Thus, our rival villages are producing more shinobis yearly than we do in six."
"What do you think about it, Naruto?" Shikamara said with narrowed eyes, his attention fully focused on the spiky haired boy.
Naruto paused his gobbling and slowly munched, "C'mon now Shika, we both know you've figured it out already." He smiled at Shikamaru, before picking up a bowl of fried chicken wings. "What do y'all know about the Shinobi Specialization Act?" He addressed the other boys.
"Well, it came out about six years ago. It stated that any shinobi hopeful would need to seal off their chakra at the age of ten. Furthermore, the first three years of the academy curriculum would focus on physical and mental courses. Only forty two of the original ninety eight students will be allowed to move unto the second half of the curriculum. The students who fail will have a second chance the next year and if they fail again, their chakra would be sealed off permanently and forced into a civilian trade school. Those who do pass will have their chakra unlocked and they will be trained in ninjutsu, genjutsu, battle scenarios, and survival exercises, and other appropriate ninja exercises. After three years of intense training, the forty two students will face off each other and the twenty one victors will graduate. The losers will be placed on the reserves list and be put on D-ranked missions until they get formally nominated. The winners will not be placed on traditional genin teams, instead they will be put in different shinobi branches, such as ANBU or even the Bounty Office." Shikamaru stated, "While I see that high quality ninjas will be produced in this system, I don't understand why it came out of nowhere." He said as he bit on his nail.
"The answer is simple. Uchiha Itachi." Naruto said in a dark tone, his eyes briefly flashing golden. This went unnoticed by his companions, as they went rigid from the mentioned name.
"What do you mean Uchiha Itachi? What does he have to do with this?" Kiba demanded.
"You ever wonder why we have to attend a meeting with Inoichi everytime we rank in the top forty two after the ranking tests? Or the fact that the Sandaime passed this act after the massacre? It's simple really, they want to avoid another Itachi. They're thinking that the early stress put on Itachi's mind caused him to snap. Thus, the Sandaime changed the age of graduation and the academy requirements. He also made it necessary for every top forty two ranked student to have monthly appointments with Inoichi, just to make sure that we're good mentally. I honestly think he took advantage of the Itachi incident. Konoha's academy system was known for being the easiest of the five great villages." Naruto spoke in a frigid tone, his food long forgotten. "Plus, with this system only the strong can survive long enough in the academy. In the old system when you graduated, you'd be put under a Jonin, who would teach you the basics of the ninja world. If you survived long enough, you'd reach the rank Chunin and from there you could start specializing towards a certain shinobi aspect." He continued. "Now, since they do the basics in the academy, they've freed up the need for Jonin leaders. Simply put, Konoha's rivals may have more ninjas but we have the best of the best on the field at all times and the best quality of next generation shinobis coming out of the academy. Quality beats quantity always."
The table went quiet as they ruminated on Naruto's words. They soon moved onto lighter topics but the thought lingered on in their heads. Soon, the boys left after thanking the chef and waitress. They said goodbyes and all went on their different paths. Shikamaru with Choji as they were neighbors and the same with Kiba and Shino.
Naruto walked through the populated streets of Konoha, making sure to not attract any attention. The moon was shining bright and the mood was light and airy. Naruto just wandered aimlessly as he didn't want to go home just yet. Before he knew it, his wandering brought him in front of a temple.
"How did I?" Naruto looked around, "I've never been here before." Naruto shrugged and turned around to head home.
"Why not spend some more time here, eh youngster?" Naruto paused at the voice and turned around to see a frail old man meditating on the steps of the temple. "When did he get here?" Naruto thought as he frowned.
"I don't have time for this, old fart." Naruto said a bit rudely.
"This is the problem with this generation." The old monk sighed as he stood up, "You need to take some time to meditate."
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"..."
"..."
"You're not going to give it up are you?"
"Nope"
"Fine," Naruto sighed in defeat.
"Well? Get on with it you nincompoop!" the eccentric old man exclaimed as he pulled out a small jar and started guzzling down its contents.
Naruto sat down and got into a meditative pose, the old man watched Naruto take several deep breaths and he smiled happily. "Take that Ama-nee chan! This was way easier than I thought, I'm so winning that bet."
Then the next sequence of events almost rooted the man to his spot. Naruto got up, flipped the man off, spit right in his face, and quickly turned around and headed home
"..."
The old man conjured a black rod out of nowhere and rushed at Naruto. Naruto, feeling the incoming presence, tried dodging to the left, planning to super kick the old man in the chin after he passed by him. But for all his speed, Naruto didn't get out of the way fast enough. The old man raised the rod above his head and slammed it down on Naruto's head. Naruto blacked out immediately and started falling, the old man dismissed the rod and quickly caught the boy.
"It's all in your hands now, Kurama. Fuck, I lost my bet. That bastard Hashi will never let me live this down."
Ninpo: Flashback no Jutsu-Kai
"That stupid old geezer, he must of knocked me so hard that I actually reached my mindscape." Naruto said as he pet the cute fox kit. The kit didn't answer Naruto as it was too busy enjoying Naruto's petting.
"That he did and it was fucking hilarious too. The great prodigy of the Leaf Village taken down by an old fart." A powerful, deep, and malicious voice said behind him. Naruto cradled the kit in his arms and jumped away from the voice. He set it down and shooed it away as all of his muscles tensed in preparation of what was to come. He had lowered his guard once and he regretted it. He was not going to let it happen twice in one night.
He turned around, ready to duke it out with whoever spoke and find a way out of this place. Naruto got visibly confused when all he saw was a mass of orange fur. That had nine tails swaying behind it and a fox's head that was staring at him with crimson eyes filled with laughter.
Naruto fell to his knees, eyes filled with terror. The kyuubi was staring at him. THE kyuubi, the walking cataclysm, the bringer of chaos was staring at him. The kyuubi was a red-orange coloured kitsune with black fur around its red eyes that stretch up to its ears, and nine long swiping tails. It also has an upper-body structure of a human, complete with opposable thumbs on its clawed hands. He looked roughly the height of the Hokage Rock and its pupils the size of a full grown man.
It was currently laying down, its arms folded under his chin looking at Naruto with narrowed eyes. Naruto felt all mobility leave his limbs. Naruto had always been the best. Except for some genins and all shinobi that are of chunin rank and up, Naruto was the apex predator. He was the king of the academy, the king of the next generation of Konohan ninjas. Even the apprehensive civilians acknowledged this; furthermore, this was all given substance when Naruto took down a whole class of third year students by himself. No chakra. He decimated them. Neither the arrogant prodigy of the Hyuga, Neji Hyuga or even the genius of hard work, Rock Lee couldn't put a scratch on him. His position at the top was uncontested. He had never lost or bowed to anyone before. But tonight, he finally met his match. First was that old man who managed to sneak up on him and knock him out and now he was staring at a colossus of destruction.
"An ant...I'm a fucking ant. I can't move." These thoughts pounded inside the redhead's head. The kit from earlier peered from its hiding place and looked at him with worried eyes.
Kyubi smirked, "You see where you truly sit on the totem pole, huh? I could tell you were starting to get stuck up, glad you're set straight now."
Naruto's head snapped up, tangible confusion on his face, "You're not going to attack me?"
Kyubi rolled its eyes, "Even if I did, we're in your mindscape. You can't die here. Now, get up. I can't have my warden acting like a pansy"
Naruto hastily got up and suddenly went rigid when the Kyubi's words. The Kyubi gazed at Naruto's stunned expression as it could tell he was deep in thought. "He's really that woman's son."
Naruto's mind was going a hundred miles per second. He struggled to pull the different thoughts together to form a coherent idea.
"Okay, calm down Naruto. Let's take everything with a grain of salt. You're inside your mindscape. The Kyubi is inside your mindscape. It called you its warden, meaning it's stuck in a prison controlled by me, in other words my body. But, how? The Yondaime killed- Wait a second, according to an ancient study, researchers from Mizu who had studied the Sanbi, it was completely composed of chakra. They called it, "a highly complex chakra structure given life." Chakra was energy. Energy that could be stored. Supposing the Kyubi is a chakra structure too…"
"The Yondaime sealed you inside me." It wasn't a question, it was a statement.
The Kyubi nodded, "Thirteen years ago, I attacked Konoha due to circumstances, I am unable to tell you right now. The Yondaime gave up his soul to seal me inside of you."
Naruto fell on his butt for the second time that night, he bit on his thumbnail trying to assimilate the new information he had gained.
"Do you hate me, Naruto?" Kyubi suddenly asked, eyes fixed unto Naruto's face awaiting an answer.
Naruto got knocked out of his thoughts by that question. It all made sense to Naruto now. The fear-filled looks, the subtle glares, or even the apprehensive attitudes of the civilians. It all finally made sense. He breathed in trying to recollect his thoughts.
"Not really if I have to be honest." Naruto shrugged, his cool completely regained. He had always been able to process and conclude new information faster than the average human and he had no reason to hate the Kyubi. If anything he felt bad for it, a being of its stature stuck in a figurative prison. He didn't hate the Yondaime either. The Yondaime had probably seen Naruto's potential and logically concluded he'd be the best candidate for the task.
"You managed to figure out why the Yondaime chose you. I hate the fact that you are so smart, ya hairless ape." Kyubi growled in disappointment
Naruto shrugged, he wanted to antagonize the fox but he wisely decided to not piss off a literal force of nature.
"Wait, how did you know what I was thinking about?" Naruto glared at the fox with narrowed eyes.
The fox stared right back and said, "We're in your mindscape, dumbass. This is literally where your thoughts are formed, genius my ass." Kyubi finished with a haughty snort.
Naruto's brow twitched in an intense manner. He sighed, "Any other life changing news you want to give me?"
"I'm so going to enjoy dropping this one on him." Kyubi thought as it struggled to keep a straight face. "You're a literal god in human skin."
Naruto busted out laughing, "Oh man, the bringer of terror knows how to joke? Good one, man." Then he noticed, Kyubi wasn't laughing. It was completely serious. Naruto's mouth clicked shut, he walked up to Kyubi and said, "Explain. Now."
(Timeskip: 6 years later)
Naruto peered down on Konohagakure from his perch on top of the Yondaime's head. Naruto was now 18 years old standing at 6'5, he had long spiky hair, an angular face and he still had the fitness suited for speed and strength. He now wore a simple black bodysuit with a grey flak jacket, strapped up sandals and arm guards that went up to his elbows and he also had a sheathed O-Katana strapped to his back. All this was completed by a white porcelain mask with the face of a laughing fox depicted on it.
The last six years had gone by in a blink of an eye. Naruto hadn't believed his ears when Kyubi, who he now knew was named Kurama, told him that he was the soul of a god from another universe. Kurama gave him a detailed explanation about his birth mother, Metis. He told Naruto about Zeus's paranoia and what he did to Metis. He explained how Metis survived inside Zeus and gave birth to him and his older sister, Athena.
Metis then caused Zeus to get a great headache, Zeus had Hephaestus split his head in two. Metis wiped all memories about Naruto or Aimatirós Epanástasi, his true birth name, from Athena's mind and pushed her out the gaping hole of Zeus's head with her armour and spear.
Using her feeble remaining power, she split a part of her soul and imbued it inside Naruto's soul and sent him to the Elemental Nations. Upon arrival, the soul of Aimatirós fused with the nearest most compatible human, which happened to be the real Naruto. The soul of the newborn god fused with the soul of the Uzumaki and thus was the beginning of Naruto.
At this point, even Naruto's superhuman compatibility to process and rationalize couldn't handle the strain. Naruto turned catonic and deliriously demanded of Kurama how he knew of all this and even implied Kurama was trying to destroy his mental psyche in order to escape. He broke down in tears stating that he was the reason his mother got killed. This all got him a prompt tail smack right in the head.
The fox went on to explain the piece of soul that Metis had imbued in him had manifested in the presence of the fox. Metis realizing she was fading, hastily imparted all the necessary knowledge to Kurama and even changed the structure of the seal to comfortably accommodate him. This was only under the condition that Kurama became Naruto's sacred beast and guide. Kurama had responded with a snappy no, adding that he was nobody's slave. Metis, then revealed that as Naruto's sacred beast nobody would be able to enslave him anymore. Metis swore this on Chaos and the Void and despite not being of the Greco faction, Kurama knew that this was a big deal.
Naruto calmed down and tried to take it all in. Kurama suggested that he retired for the night and their conversation would continue the next morning. Naruto agreed and just as he started preparing to leave, Kurama poked his forehead with one of his tails and the image of a beautiful woman appeared in Naruto's mind and said the three words he had never heard before, "I love you, my little sunshine."
Naruto woke up with a pounding head outside of his apartment. He entered and swiftly fell asleep. The next morning, Kurama pulled him into the mindscape once again to finish explaining everything. They mutually decided to wait till he was major to travel to the Greek world, In the meantime, Naruto would continue training as Zeus would undoubtedly target Naruto whenever they moved.
Then came news that Naruto didn't like at all. He was a demigod. You see for a god to ascend true godhood, his name must be spread and given importance. Considering that Metis was the only person to ever say his name, his godly powers were limited. Naruto had pointed out he could gain fame and recognition much like Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. Sadly, Kurama shut that down stating that the Elemental Nations were Shinto territory and futhermore even if he could gain power and recognition, he would need people to literally worship and pray to him and frankly, that was just not going to happen.
Some good news had been that Metis had enough authority to give him a domain. She had chosen the cosmos or universal energy. This meant that Naruto had power over every atom in existence. He could create and destroy as he saw fit. But as was stated earlier, he only had a very minor control of his domain. But, he had gotten all the natural benefits of godhood such as vitality, strength, and immortality. Though Kurama theorized that if struck hard enough, he could die as he bled red not the gold ichor of the gods.
Kurama revealed that Metis had given instructions on how to wield the power of the cosmos. Naruto actually acted like a regular child and begged Kurama to start training him. Then came more unsavory news. His chakra and godly energy had fused and become cosmos energy. It had many similarities with chakra so Kurama supposed they'd be able to pass it off as a kekkei genkai. But, his chakra seals had been effective on his cosmos energy and thus he was a sitting duck for a year.
Naruto didn't just fiddle his thumbs around during that span of time though. He trained himself into the ground, abusing his godly healing to turn his body into a killing machine. He even dragged his friends with him. They trained hard every single day and passed the first part of the academy as the top five ranked students.
The following week the chakras of the students were unsealed for the first time since three years and the results were interesting. Many of the civilians that had passed the hellish first three years had given out an average chakra count for their age, Low genin. Students that had shinobi relatives, but weren't in a clan gave out Mid genin output.
Clan students, however, performed extraordinarily. Many posted outputs ranging from High genin to Low chunin. The top five; however, were not to be compared to their peers. Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, and Shino all posted Mid chunin chakra output. Notice that Naruto wasn't included in the last sentence and here's why...
Ninpo: Flashback no Jutsu
"Uzumaki Naruto, please come down to the podium." The chunin teacher said.
Naruto got out of his seat and walked down to the front of the class. He could feel many eyes on him. Feelings of admiration, jealousy, and outright hostility wafted all over his person. Emotion sensing, a power that Kurama had recently given him.
He reached the chalkboard and stared aloofly at the obnoxious white haired, weirdly dressed old man that was performing the unsealing. For some odd reason, he felt like he should know he was but if he continued staring at him so creepily, he might just have to shove his foot where the sun don't shine.
"Are you ready, fishcake? Hehehe" The old man laughed obnoxiously at the cross look on Naruto's face. Many of his classmates cringed as Naruto had basically FUCKED the last person to call him that. Knowing he couldn't afford to cause a scene and Kurama had also made him understand that there were bigger fishes than him, Naruto just nodded his head yes and winced in slight pain when the man jabbed a chakra powered fingered to his forehead and cried, "Chakra Restriction Seal: Kai"
And for a whole solid second, the world stood still. Then, the universe seemingly zeroed in on Naruto and made him its new astronomical center. Power exploded from Naruto, an ethereal aura covering him from head to toe. The white man was blasted away from the podium and so was the chunin calculating chakra outputs.
"Ji-Ji-Jiraiya-sama, he-he," The poor chunin stuttered as his legs buckled under him from the pressure being applied on him.
"Out with it, you numbskull!" Jiraiya shouted at the man as he righted himself. Having faced many cataclysmic events before, he managed to shrug off the power being pressed down on him.
"He bro-broke th-the counter-er!" The chunin shouted as his stuttering got worse.
"Impossible! Those counters can handle the strain from Kage-levels of output!" A shocked Jiraiya thought in amazement as the aura of power had completely engulfed Naruto and only his outline was visible. "Fuck, we need to get the students out of here! Screw that, we need to evacuate the whole fucking building!" Jiraiya shouted out to the chunin.
The students had started passing out, unable to take the strain being placed on their bodies. Soon, all of the students except for Naruto's friends fainted. That being said, they were barely holding unto consciousness.
"Troublesome, I knew he'd be a monster, but this?"
"It's like he just had some super XXXL premium rare pork chops from Yakiniku Q!"
"This is amazing. Why? Fuck your logical assessments Shino! His power is literally shaking the fucking building!"
"I gotta make sure he never meets Hana. She'll go into heat immediately,"
The academy building shook like an old stripper who had suddenly regained her youth. The pressure became too much as cracks started forming in the walls.
At this point, half the active roster of shinobi had reached the academy grounds. Jiraiya managed to evacuate the classroom and the other classrooms followed suit. The exploding aura had grown substantially and it now engulfed the whole building. The shinobis formed a perimeter around the school to prevent entrance. Medic nins started treating the students who had taken too much stress from Naruto's output.
Jiraiya was throwing resistance seals left and right, trying to contain the chakra. An old man in red and white robes, wearing a four pointed hat with the kanji for fire on it, jumped into the scene surrounded by four masked assassins.
"Jiraiya, why the fuck is there a Bijuu-level energy source going crazy in the middle of my city?" Hiruzen Sarutobi had been there when Kyubi had attacked thirteen years ago. The energy he had felt from that night had no rival or at least that's what he thought.
Hiruzen had been "working" when suddenly he felt pure chakra being pulled from the world itself and rushing towards the academy. He was not ready for the explosion that occurred and he quickly deployed his men to the scene.
"I don't know Sensei! All I did was remove the chakra resistance seal, I swear to Kami!" Jiraiya shouted as the pressure kept increasing.
"Did the Kyubi's seal snap?" Hiruzen asked his faithful student, while metally worrying about Naruto.
Then, it stopped. The aura was gone as fast as it had appeared. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the Barrier Corps had not been mobilized fast enough and if any more time had gone by, the building would have caved in.
"There's nothing to see here people, move away or else we will have to do it manually." An ANBU agent told the crowd that had gathered. The civilians quickly dispersed, but the gossip was already flying around. Many shinobis, seeing that they were no longer required, jumped away.
Jiraiya glanced at Hiruzen, asking the unsaid question, "Who's going to go in there?"
Hiruzen deadpanned at his student's cowardice and started to talk until his acute ears heard footsteps. He and Jiraiya turned to face the academy door which was slowly pushed open.
They gasped and tensed at the sight of Naruto as he walked out the academy. He was covered in a bright gold but not overly potent aura. His hair was spikier than usual and it was of a snow white color. (Imagine SSJ3 hair but gold and white Ultra instinct aura)
He walked up to Hiruzen and managed to flash him a small smile, "Careful Jiji, I might take that hat away from you sooner than you thought." Then he proceeded to faint into the arms of grandfather figure
Ninpo: Flashback no Jutsu: Kai
The village had been buzzing for the next weeks following the incident. Naruto had quickly recovered and soon enough was thrown into a difficult training regime in chakra control.
The Sandaime finally decided to throw caution to the wind. He allowed Naruto to graduate and start training in chakra with the ANBU, only on the condition he regularly took mental assessment tests.
The ANBU was not easy. The training was rough, the food was horrible and you got little to no sleep. Naruto rose up to the challenge however and he rose through the ranks after mastering kenjutsu and the art of assassination. He had a spotless record throughout his short five year career, 590 missions assigned and 590 missions completed to the T.
He unfortunately learned that he couldn't use traditional elemental or even ninja art techniques but thankfully this had been carelessly chalked off as a side effect of having Kurama sealed in him by his superiors. But thanks to Metis's advice she had left Kurama, he managed to reverse engineer many chakra techniques using cosmos. His favorite use for his power was to use his energy to reinforce his body, making it harder than diamond and giving him enhanced speed and strength.
The squad rarely found time to hang anymore as Kiba and Shino graduated a year after Naruto, on the same conditions as he was, and they both chose to enter the Bounty Office and they soon made a name for themselves as a duo by capturing 7 A-ranked missing nins in their first 3 months with the office. Shikamaru had joined the Intelligence Corps headed by his father and Choji had joined the R & D Corps due to the unique way Akimichis produced chakra. He and Shikamaru respectively graduated at 15 and 16.
"It's been quite the rollercoaster, hasn't it Kurama?" Naruto thought to his furry companion.
"You think?" Naruto sweatdropped at the sarcastic reply he got.
"No need to be an asshole about it, damn furball." Naruto secretly thought to himself. He toyed with a necklace with an ethereal blue rock in it. This was his ticket to the Greek world. He had retired from the ANBU this very day. His commander had tried to keep him in the force by promising to make him vice-commander. Naruto begrudgingly rejected his proposal as he knew it was his time to leave.
He then assembled the crew one last time at the Yakiniku Q and as they were reminiscing about their childhood, Naruto dropped the bombshell. He told them that he'd be gone a few years, traveling the world. They were all visibly upset, but they accepted that he wanted a break from the killing and secrecy that was the ANBU. They parted ways one last time and Naruto headed to the Hokage Rock to see his beloved city one last time.
He yanked the rock out and dropped it on the ground. He took a deep breath and stepped on it. Blue mist quickly surrounded him and it then dispersed. Naruto was nowhere to be seen and he wouldn't be seen for quite awhile in the Elemental Nations.
Unknown Location
Splash! Naruto felt his body fall into water. He quickly tried to grab whatever object was close to him. For some reason his vision was extremely blurry at the moment and he couldn't contact Kurama at all. He chalked it up to the fact that he just hopped into another dimension.
Suddenly, his hands found contact with something. He instinctively squeezed it and noticed how firm yet squishy it was. He could've swore he heard a hitched voice. He continued squeezing, confused as to what was in his hands.
Then he heard a loud moan. A loud moan that was coming from under him. He jumped back as his vision rapidly improved and he gaped at what he saw.
Now, Naruto wasn't a virgin by any means. The ANBU had regular seduction missions that Naruto had gotten more than once. But, the woman he saw laying down in this bathhouse was out of this world.
Luscious brown hair, pouty lips, large firm tits, a shapely ass, and a supermodel figure that showed the perfect ratio between fat and muscle.
The lady smiled wildly and started walking on all fours towards Naruto. He jumped back again putting more distance between them as he tried to understand what was happening.
The woman pouted, "Mou, why do you have to be such a tease? You interrupted my bath time and started making me feel good and now you're running away?" She folded her hands under her tits making them appear bigger.
Naruto quickly shook his head. "I'm sorry but I wasn't actively trying to feel you up, ma'am. I just- Fuck, I can't say I'm a dimension hopper. My powers are shot right now, I can't tell what she is.
The lady huffed, "You wanted to cop a feel of the Lord of the Dead's wife, huh? I don't even know why you spirits are so fixated but I'm not complaining!" She laid on her back in the water and spread her legs.
Naruto gulped as he looked at her tight, dripping core. She motions him to come to her and for a split second Naruto almost gives in.
"Wait, isn't the Lord of the Dead? Motherfuc-" Naruto started hyperventilating. He was in the Underworld. He just groped Persephone. He just groped his uncle's wife.
Persephone growing annoyed at the indecisive "spirit" opened her mouth to lure him to her until she heard the doors open.
Her eyes went wide. She had ordered all handmaidens out, so it could only be one person. She quickly got to her feet and gestured for the "spirit" to leave.
Naruto, who was in his little dazed world failed to hear the open doors or the panicked gestures Persephone was sending him. Now, if he hadn't been so shaken from traveling a literal dimension, this whole situation and his carelessness would have been a foolish wish of his enemy.
Unfortunately, he was shaken from the travel. So imagine his reaction when he heard a spookily cool and calm voice say, "Persephone. Who is this?"
Naruto felt power explode behind him and he mechanically turned around to see a handsome man with a clean shaven face. He had a body sculpted like a Greek god and if he was who Naruto thought he was then that explained it. He was currently only wearing a towel wrapped around his lower half, glaring at Persephone and this…ninja?
Naruto audibly gulped and said something he probably should have thought about before talking.
"I totally didn't grope her tits."
TO BE CONTINUED
YO, wassup it's ya man Pimp Daddy Supreme. Lol, I'm just kidding. N E ways, what's happening with y'all? Hope you're staying safe and all that. This is the second part of the prologue. Next chapter starts at the beginning of the Titan's Curse.
I know that I have several non canon elements like the whole academy business and the whole sealed chakra thing. Tbh, they aren't going to be real important in this story, but I always thought that the Leaf would've done better at trying to avoid another "supposed" Itachi situation and all. So, this was my idea. If you don't like it, you don't like it. But, it's my fic and I'll do whatever I please.
I feel like I rushed through this which is crazy because it's like 7-8k words in total. This was basically to give you some background information about Naruto. His personality, appearance, powers and all that and I hope it was clear enough. If it wasn't, refer to the bingo book entry below.
The shinobi world will have an impact on the PJO world. You'll just have to wait and read to find out how. Akatsuki is around, but hasn't acted just yet. In this universe, they're waiting for a specific event to act. Sasuke is around and alive and no he is not a shinobi. I have something very special in mind for him. I don't think it's ever been done before so I'm kinda excited. I'll be trying to stay clear of as many cliches as I can.
Also a few more things I want to address. Minato and Kushina did not leave pieces of their souls behind. The Minato and Kushina route has gotten boring. Plus, Kishimoto-teme admitted that he never planned to have Naruto meet his parents. At all. He does know they're his parents but he doesn't care.
Secondly, yes. Naruto is technically nerfed. He's just a really strong demigod at this point. He can take on all the minor gods in their true forms individually using his full power. He can give some of the weaker Olympians a run for their money in their base form. He WILL eventually be an overwhelming powerful deity. Like I said, he needs his name to be recognized for his ascension. So, I'm gonna have him work for that power. And no, he can't control Kyubi's chakra yet? Why? Because I want plot development. I want him to work towards his power. Many fics where Naruto just gets power like you can find that shit on the ground never last and I want my fic to last. Plus it took over 600-700 for Naruto to go all god-mode so y'all chill.
