3rd pov
"Is it done Minato?"The scene is tragic: a husband and a wife with a hole in their chest, a child at the age of a mere hour on an altar covered by the blood of his parents, the final moment of a loving family, their faces filled with love for a child they can only see with borrowed time.
"Yes, kushina" cough cough "it's done, I just hope that our decision is the right one."
"Minato, is Naruto really one that has been prophesied by the great toad elder? what if what if"hiks" we are wro-"
"Kushina trusts me tru- cough cough." With panic, Kushina crawled to Minato's side and held him in her arms. "trust me kushina trust me." seeing her most beloved person dying petrified kushina the only thing she can do now is cry and cry as her hokage, friend, lover, husband, and father of her child are dying, she can only cry but as she cries a familiar hand resting upon her cheeks.
"Don't cry tomato, that's not suited for you."
"Shut up your french fries."
"Hehe" they can only smile at each other at their final moment suddenly a warm light, a presence so welcoming is standing near their son.
"Who are you?" panic surged into the parents.
"Calm down child, I only want to see the work of my creation, the child of prophecy. Now rest you two have sacrificed too much. I will send you to heaven where you two can be with each other until the end of time."
The feeling of Relief surges into kushina and minato"are you kami-sama"
"Yes"
"Minato,kushina"
And with the sound of the third Hokage, the figure disappears.
The chosen one pov
"Hmm, damn it"
"Language child even if that word is justified still language." Of course, God will say that.
"I can hear you." sigh
Yeah yeah God "so are you, you know my God, or am I going to hell."
"Relax my boy, I am the god of the Abrahamic religion" wait yessssssss suck it daniel. I was right, God is real. wait if God is real. The majority of my friends are atheists. Oh God, what's going to happen to them?
"Unfortunately they are going to hell." even my sister? "yes even your sister"no-no-no.
"Is there anything I can do to help them?"
"Yes, you can pray for them to have a sign about me. "pray? But I'm in the afterlife.
"But I'm dead"
"That is where you are wrong my boy you see I have a mission for you."
"Isekai? wait you're going to make me a prophet aren't you."
"No, you are not qualified for that job, but your descendant is, you see child your mission is to save a particular world you are familiar with." mission? Descendant? Familiar….please don't be Warhammer please don't be Warhammer.
"Naruto" Naruto? The one with magic eyes "yes" the one with ramen, wait can I eat pork? "yes, you can this time." helll!!! yeah wait is that heresy. "no"
"Ok child, stop no more questions. I will give you the chance to pray for your family, but you must complete my mission as the condition." of course sir.
"First you must save the world." It's Naruto, it's easy enough. I know all the plot points, will it help though.
"Second, rebuild the kingdom of heaven." I'm going to be King David or Solomon of the Naruto world. Wait, who is Jesus or Muhamad PBUH figure? "again your descendant."
"Third, make the job of your future descendant easier." yep I'm a weird mix of Abraham, David, and Solomon." your job is not to spread the word of the holy text, but you can drop some clues here and there."
"4th do not kill for fun, you must kill when it's necessary."
"5th be happy"seeing and talking to God itself already made me happy.
"God, why don't you do it yourself?"
"Tell me, child, what is the greatest thing I have given to mankind?"
"Life? love? family? intellect? it's free will isn't it?"
"Yes, my child, free will. If I must always be present when my children walk upon the earth they will never progress. Failure is the only way humankind can advance."
Sigh, that makes sense. "Is there any tool for me to do thy bidding?"
"Yes you will reincarnate as naruto." wut "you will have a progression system, not a gamer one but just an advance version of status so only chakra, health, chakra control, etc, and you can search specific thing you have progressed on, but you can only progress it with actual work so no easy mode like the gamer system it's mainly a tool for monitoring your every progress with some acceleration of your intelligence just a smidge."
An advanced UI watch huh but with a hud(head ups display) "all of naruto's potential will be merged with you." Ok, that's logical.
"Can I have a request?"
"you can but there will be some subtraction." good, subtraction?
"can I control hardlight"excaribaaaaaaaaa I am the angel of death 'i can already see the one-liner and badass entrance even if I'm 17 I am still a chunibyo, ok let's bury that thing to the back in my mind shudder. 'I am the dark phoenix. I will destroy the black organization.' Those are dark times.
"Hmmm it is possible and fits in your narrative, alright I will grant your wish but there will be a subtraction of the universe being different." sigh you can't have everything the plot can be so different what if the 3rd ninja war is won by the stone or the mist. uhh just thinking about the Naruto version of china and North Korea winning the 3rd war made me shudder.
"this one will have one major character change in gender" wait what.
Oh God, this is going to be extra hard. "sigh" but I can't back down now. I have to endure my new path of life will be hard, but I have to endure. I have to.'
"This why I choose you my child you are a man of principle morality know this you may think that with all the gift I have given you that your path will be easy no it will be hard upon your shoulder is the greatest weight that a normal human being will endure with blood and steel even if you form an everlasting bond with someone they can also easily die but know this I will always accept you as my child."
As the light faded away embraced by darkness, but yet I was not afraid as God's warm light had touched me. There is only confidence and will, principle and morality. I will not fail. Besides, my new parents must have high expectations for me even if they are dead. They are still my new parents. I will honor their dream.
Hiruzen pov
"Minato/kushina"
"Lord hokage there is someone in there." what is this warm light
"What, secure the perimeter don't let him escape" how can he enter the barrier?
"He's gone, sir"
"Damn it"
'Fuinjutsu:great shattering' crack crack 'that should do the job'
"Kushina" what happened to her, how can this happen?
"Sandaime-sama" cough cough" his name is Naruto Uzumaki please take care of him and please tell Jiraiya sensei that naruto is the one the man before us said that my son is the one tell him sandaime-sama tell him Jiraiya sensei will know." what the one of what.
'Naruto what a strange name'
3 days later
"Order order, shut up you twat, I will not have this place turn into a monkey bar with bananas flying over my head."..." good with the chaos that occurred 3 days ago. I want a full damage report, Dragon, what is the situation in the theater of operations."
"Hai hokage-sama, the minor village is indifferent but they are preparing for the worst with their hoarding of food and war material. The major village is mostly calm except for the cloud and stone they are trying to poke at us, but they won't declare war or do anything foolish." With the end of the third shinobi world war, every major nation is rebuilding its resources and manpower. No major village is ready for another war.
"Good good, head medic"
"Our previous population is about 150.000 but with the current headcount we have lost 15.000 of them and 10.000 with major injuries."That's the largest casualty that has ever occurred inside Konoha.
"Shikaku"
"Our combat force has dropped significantly and we can't solo another world war like the previous one. Not with our diminished manpower, we have lost 1.900 jonin out of 3 000, 4.000 chunin out of 9.000 the genin core is mainly intact because of the age restriction but we have some couple hundred of casualties"Konoha in the pass before the attack can defeat 2 of the great village by its own and maybe 3 like the previous one if there is someone like Minato he alone can keep at bay the hidden stone Konoha has a large and quality shinobi but now we are just a normal major power no longer we are the hyperpower after the war, but just a normal major power never in Konoha history that ever happened.
"Hiruzen do you know what that means right"
" I know Danzo, I know, our chance of recovering?"
"17 or 20 years" we can manage that.
"Good, shikaku, I need you to reorganize the chunin and jonin forces."
"Haik hokage-sama."
"Danzo, I need you and root to work overtime."
"He he he what do you mean hiruzen we always work overtime." I can only smile at that joke.
"Koharu Homura, how is our financial situation?" Our budget for the next 4 years is going to be a mess.
"The daimyo have agreed to send economic aid to Konoha. The war reparation we collected from the other country is enough for us to rebuild and still have more in the banks we don't have to tap in our emergency reserve." sigh that was lucky Konoha's economic might alone is rivaling a minor nation capital city in economic potential except for Kumo Konoha is the only village with a budget that is not reliant with the daimyo.
"Hiruzen there is something important," sighs Kakashi is not ready.
"Yes, I know a zoo so who is the candidate"
"You, Orochimaru, and fugaku." Orochimaru is not ready and never will be.
"How about Fugaku?"
"Almost all of the major and minor clans will not support him, his time as hokage will be marked by disunity because of recent events."
"What are you insinuating" boom killing intent permeating the air.
"People are suspicious, Fugaku. The 4th Hokage alone can beat the nine tails. There is someone besides the 3rd hokage Anbu team and nurses whose cause of death suggests someone is interfering with the resealing process, which leaves with one explanation, the only clan that can control the tailed beast except the Uchiha is the Senju clan and that's impossible."
"Enough, I will take the mantle until someone is worthy. I will step down immediately."
"Tchk "this one is also not ready.
"How about the trade unions?"
"Nothing major is happening, but we lost some members due to the attack."
"Good focus all effort on rebuilding and anti-probing mission by our adversary everyone can excuse themself except my advisors."
""""HAI""""
"Thank the gods it's a state of emergency or we are going to have to invite the civilian general assembly." thank god indeed. I can only simply nod at that.
"I need a smoke"
"Even know hiruzen"
"Yes, Homura even now"
"How are you hiruzen after biw-"
"I'm fine I'm fine thank you Homura"
"What are we going to do with the jinchuriki?"
"For now, I will await the arrival of Jiraiya there is something I want to ask him"
JIRAIYA POV
'Damn it damn it damn it damn them all' i fail again first Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan now Minato and kushina why did I fail I was so sure that Minato is the child of prophecy Jiraiya one of the great legendary sannin fail at protecting his student is the prophecy even true what if the great toad elder is wrong all my life work will be wasted and the only thing remain is some crappy adventure novel.
"Jiraiya-sama the hokage is waiting for you"
"Kakashi? so you've become an Anbu"
"Yes jirai-"
"Ahh stop with the formalities, you are my grand student just call me Jiraiya."
"Of course, Jiraiya sama" sigh cheeky little brat.
"Lead the way"
10 minutes later
"Come in, Jiraiya, how good to see-" in the room, there are the hokage advisors flanking hiru-sensei. 'he seems tired, is that a baby?...naruto'
"First of all I reject taking that hat, and second of all when is the last time you have rest." Seriously, his wrinkles have wrinkles.
"It's fine I will hold out, for now, no Jiraiya, the matter of the hat is already decided. we know that you don't want to be Hokage, no the reason why we summon you here is for a different matter."
"Kushina said that naruto is the one and she said that you know what that means" the one? Widening my eyes, I was shocked. the feeling of relief, joy, and hope.
"I take it you understand Jiraiya"
"Ye, sensei, I understand. when I was summoned for the first time in the toad dimension the great toad elder prophesied. That I will train a student that will save or destroy the world."
"And you just believe this prophecy?
"No, I don't, but then I started to train Minato, he is talented as you know but I'm still not convinced he is the child of prophecy recently until I have a dream of a blond man with wings made of light but that was wrong the next one is the time I train the Uzumaki who had the rinnegan."
"Rinnegan, are you sure?" hearing that news sensei and the advisors widen their eyes.
"Yes, but Nagato is already dead"
"Which leaves us with naruto"sigh
Hiruzen pov
"Sensei, can I raise naruto"
"Unfortunately you can't Jiraiya, that will be too obvious for our enemies to identify young Naruto parents. Kushina's pregnancy is a secret between our general populace, besides, I need you to work overtime as spymaster."
" But I'm his godfather !!"
"I know and this is the only way we can protect him, besides you can still protect him even if you are outside of Konoha."
"..."
"Good, I will send him to the orphanage for the first couple of years of his life, when he is 4 I will give him his apartment.
"..."I can see the doubt in his eyes.
"Relax Jiraiya, I will have Anbu protecting him and the caretaker of young Naruto will be my daughter disguised as Anbu. Nothing will harm young Naruto."
"Ok sensei I will trust you but when he comes of age I will train him.", he left my office.
"What are going to do about the child Hiruzen if what Jiraiya said is true." Danzo sees Naruto with an eye and sees potential.
"He is a jinchuuriki, Minato, and Kushina child, two of our strongest shinobi Jiraiya revelations are only the icing on the cake." Koharu and Homura see the same thing as Danzo even though I see the same potential for a great shinobi.
"For now we must stick to the plan and let him have his normal childhood as normal as we can make it."koharu agrees with me but Danzo and Homura have a different opinion.
"Why don't we train him hiruzen?"
"no, this one is a shinobi of the light side of Homura. He is not suited for that kind of thing. I have a hunch right Danzo?
"As much as I want to train, the jinchuriki hiruzen is right, Homura. He is a shinobi of the light, root training will only hinder his progress."
We expect great things from you Naruto Uzumaki child of prophecy"
…..
And done hahaha I'm going to commit to this one my target is 200k words wish me luck boys
