Hello all Storm here with a new story! Nothing else to say other than hope you enjoy the story. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
The Land of the Moon, home to the Crescent Moon Kingdom, was an incredibly wealthy island nation, known for its casinos, resorts, and beaches. This made it the perfect place for many to travel to for a vacation.
Or the perfect place for one to hide something important to them.
Currently, night has descended onto the Crescent Moon Kingdom, with the normally crowded streets now being completely empty. With the exception of a single person wearing a long black cloak with a hood pulled up, shrouding their face in darkness. The person was also carrying a small, wrapped bundle within their arms.
The stranger moved silently through the streets, not making a single sound, only stopping until they arrived in front of an orphanage. Looking around for any signs of anyone else being out, the stranger walked up the stairs to the front door.
Once they reached the door, the stranger looked at the bundle in their arms and moved the blanket slightly, revealing a baby girl sleeping peacefully with pale skin, and wisps of black hair on her head, while knowing her eyes were a bright blue color. Along with three unique whisker marks on her cheeks. Seeing the baby's sleeping face, the stranger hesitated for a moment, feeling unsure at the moment of what they're about to do. Only to shake their head, knowing this was for the best.
"I'm sorry." The person whispered in a feminine voice, showing it was a woman, before she pulled out a folded note and placed it within the blanket along with kissing the baby on her forehead.
With that, the woman placed the child in front of the door before knocking on it, waiting until a light was turned on. Once it did the woman vanished in a swirl of leaves, missing a gust of wind suddenly blowing past her as she Shunshined away. With the orphanage matron soon opening the door, only to find nothing there, leaving her confused and slightly annoyed before closing the door.
Meanwhile, just around a corner was a man who was now holding the infant that had been placed on the steps, not even a moment ago.
The man had a lightly tanned, or darkened, skin tone, dark black eyes, matching dark black hair with four spikes in the front and three in the back, and a somewhat skinny physique. His attire consisted of a dark grey vest, a long-sleeved black turtleneck undershirt, a red sash, a green and gold earring in his left ear, a silver ring on his right index finger, black pants, and pointed white boots.
This man was known as Goku Black, or simply Black.
Black looked at the orphanage for a moment before looking at the child he had grabbed with an annoyed frown, before grabbing the note the woman had left.
Her name is Naruko.
'Mortals are all the same, no matter what world, timeline, or universe.' Black thought, making a "Tsk" sound as he crumpled up the note and reducing it to ash, before turning his attention back to the child, wondering why he even bothered taking her to begin with.
"I suppose even a god can have pity for the lowliest of creatures." Muttered Black, having made it no secret that he despises mortals, and would have wiped out the mortals in this world already, if it wasn't for his weakened state.
Thinking about it, Black mentally cursed the Saiyans Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks for this and interfering in his plans. Trunks especially, for being the reason he's here in the first place and stuck for the foreseeable future.
It had all started after he and his counterpart Zamasu fused together, after realizing that the mortals were trickier than they originally believed, when they nearly succeeded in sealing Zamasu away. After that, things became rather blurry for Black, only remembering that after Trunks cut him and Zamasu in half. He had somehow been defused from Zamasu, before sent careening through the rift in space that he created with his Sickle of Sorrow. Something none of them knew what it was, only that whatever it was showed Black that his power had risen much farther than he could have imagined.
Black hadn't been sure how long he'd been in the rift, only that when he finally came out, he was in this new, unknown world, severely weakened to the point that he couldn't even transform into a Super Saiyan. What was worse, was when he learned more about the world, he landed in.
War, death, destruction, betrayal, pain, and so much more that simply proved to Black, more than ever, that he was right in wanting to wipe out all mortals. That they were nothing but a blight on creation and a mistake when the gods created them. Unfortunately, he couldn't begin initiating the Zero Mortals Plan in the Elemental Nations due to his weakened state. Forcing Black to remain hidden and recover his strength.
Though he supposed it could be a blessing in disguise, as now he had to start from the ground up in regaining his former power. Which would allow him to further make this body his own and understand the true depths of his might. Even better, that it seemed him fusing with Zamasu granted him some of his old Shinjin DNA, including the much longer lifespan that came with it. Combined with his Saiyan body, Black believed he was as close one could be to being immortal, without actually being immortal.
Something he's been doing when he saw that woman appear and leave who he guessed was her own child on the steps of the orphanage. Which Black would usually ignore, simply seeing it as more proof he was right, if mortals were even willing to abandon their own offspring. But strangely enough, the Kai-turned-Saiyan actually felt a moment of pity for the child, who didn't even know what was happening.
Before he even realized what he did, Black had already grabbed the child before the woman noticed and before they could be taken into the orphanage.
Now Black wasn't even sure what he was supposed to do, never thinking he'd be in a situation like this.
Looking at the child again, Black studied her for a moment, being a little surprised at the power he could sense in her already, seemingly possessing above average Chakra. As these mortals called their power, which seemed to be more adaptive than Ki, granting its users many different abilities, but not having the same raw power that Ki did. So, for this girl, Naruko, to have a surprising amount of Chakra meant that her parents must have been skilled Ninja, possibly even from these Ninja Clans that Black has heard about.
'And with the right training, she'll be even stronger when using Ki. Even more so with the proper DNA.' Black thought with a smirk, as while he may not have been officially declared a Supreme Kai, after killing Gowasu, he still became the Supreme Kai of Universe 10, not to mention his previous position as North Kai.
So, there were many rituals he was familiar with, including one to infuse ones DNA into another living creature. One he originally dismissed, due to his hatred of mortals and believing none of them deserved to have the same DNA as the gods.
But now…
"I suppose even a god requires a protégé." Black stated, smirking as he looked at Naruko, knowing she could prove to be a useful ally in completing the Zero Mortal Plan.
*Timeskip-Eight Years*
Eight years have passed, since Black had taken in Naruko as his protégé/student, along with infusing her with his DNA, granting her both the power of a Saiyan and Shinjin. The former of which lead to her sprouting a monkey tail, something Black opted not to cutoff. Remembering a timeline he once visited during his plans, where Saiyans gained access to a new form by keeping their tails and Oozaru transformations.
Though he couldn't deny the first few years were…awkward to say the least, given that Black had no idea how to take care of a child. Forcing him to both figure things out on his own and having to read several books to learn what to do. Thankfully, it seemed that Naruko was rather smart for her age, allowing her to start doing things on her own, much to Black's relief.
With things only really getting interesting, once Naruko was old enough to begin training. Even better that with her new DNA, she could handle more intense training than most children her age. But as she was still a child, Black had to take things slow, given it wouldn't do for him to unintentionally cripple his protégé.
But even still, Naruko herself proved eager to complete any form of training, whether it was learning Ki, martial arts, or Chakra. The latter being in the minority, given Black's lack of knowledge on it and noticing that over time, the more Naruko used her Ki, the weaker her Chakra became. Leading him to believe that Chakra wasn't a natural form of energy, given it seemed Naruko's Ki was actively purging it from her body. Which lead Black to having Naruko assimilate her remaining Chakra into her Ki, given its adaptive properties would still prove useful in having, rather than losing them entirely.
Unfortunately, it seemed that something appeared to be blocking the process. Something neither of them expected, with Black being intrigued, not expecting something like this to happen. With the Kai-turned-Saiyan having decided to enter Naruko's mind to see if he could find what was blocking the assimilation.
This leading to a rather interesting revelation about just who his protégé is.
*Flashback*
Black looked around with a confused frown, when he appeared in what looked to be a sewer, not expecting Naruko's mind to look like this. With his attention then turning to the massive cage that he had appeared in front of, even more intrigued at what it was doing inside Naruko's mindscape, not to mention what it was meant to contain.
"Whatever you are, if you don't reveal yourself, I'll simply kill you now." Black stated, raising his hand, and charging up a Black Power Ball to fire into the cage to vaporize whatever was inside.
Not a moment later, a loud growl was heard from the cage, before from the shadows a gigantic fox with reddish-orange fur, the upper body structure of a human, and nine long tails behind it. With Black's eyes narrowing when he sensed the creature's power. While not truly demonic in nature, it was the closest thing he's felt to Dark Magic since coming to this world.
"You, you're one these Bijū I've heard about. And I take it that you're the reason why Naruko can't assimilate her Chakra into her Ki." Black stated, having heard of the Bijū during his travels, knowing this was the Kyūbi no Yōko, the supposedly strongest Bijū that had attacked Konohagakure eight years ago/
Having heard it was defeated by the Yondaime Hokage at the cost of his life, something that Black now sees is a lie, given it's sealed away inside of Naruko.
"Yes, because if the girl gets rid of her Chakra, it will also get rid of me! And I have no intentions of fading away!" Kyūbi growled, having been preventing Naruko's Ki from fully assimilating her Chakra, knowing if she loses her Chakra, then it won't be long before it fades away as well.
"Then this'll make things rather easy." Said Black, smirking as he prepared to destroy the fox and solve the problem.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Said Kyūbi, making the Saiyan raise a brow in amusement.
"And why wouldn't I? All I need to do is kill you and the problem's solved." Black replied, only to see the Bijū smirk at him.
"Because if you kill me, then you'll also lose all the knowledge I have. I've been alive for thousands of years and sealed away inside two of the strongest Kunoichi to have lived, I could pass that knowledge onto the girl and you as well, to learn more about this world." Kyūbi stated, with Black merely looking at it with a smirk as he didn't lower his hand or dismiss his attack.
"Knowledge that would be rather useless once her Chakra is gone. And what good would I have in learning about a soon-to-be lifeless world?" Retorted Black, given anything he learns about this world would be useless once he kills everyone here.
"I also know who her parents are and where she comes from. Do you think she'd still go along with your little plan, after she learns that you took away her chance to learn who she really is? And believe me, she will find out." Said Kyūbi smirking as Black frowned and narrowed his eyes at the fox, before he smirked again and held up his right hand showing his Time Ring.
"The fact that you believe you can blackmail me is just sad and pathetic, creature. As if you knew about this, you'd know you were dead the moment I arrived. Here's a little lesson before you die, this item is known as a Time Ring, with it Supreme Kai's can travel to the future to observe events and potential threats to their respective Universes. But one like myself can also use it to travel to the past for a limited amount of time, long enough to gather some information, like say, about who Naruko is. Along with anything else I'd desire." Black said as his smirk gained a dark edge, while Kyūbi's eyes widened in realization and fear.
"Enjoy oblivion!" Said Black, before firing the Black Power Ball as a massive beam at the Bijū, consuming the Kyūbi before it could try to get out of the way.
When the fox was fully gone, Black smirked, knowing that there'd be no further obstacles in Naruko's training now. Along with now being aware that Naruko was someone of importance, with the same being said about her parents. And whatever else that fox knew, as Black now felt there was more going on in this world than he believed.
'It looks like I'll be using this sooner than I thought.' Black thought while looking at his Time Ring, before exiting the mindscape.
*End Flashback*
And Black did use the Time Ring, using it to travel to several different points in the past, learning everything he needed to know. Which was far more than he expected, but it also cemented the fact for him that the Zero Mortal Plan was necessary. If there were truly a race of parasitic mortals that truly believed they had the right to call themselves gods, then they deserved nothing less than complete extermination.
Though he did take the time to kill the one parasite that had been hiding himself on this planet, along with the one residing on the moon. Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything about third, without altering the timeline.
Along with learning who Naruko really was, who her parents are, and how she ended up in the Crescent Moon Kingdom. All of which, Black has yet to tell Naruko, waiting until the right moment to tell her or until he had no other choice, but to tell her.
As for the Kyūbi, after it was destroyed by Black, Naruko was able to fully assimilate her Chakra into her Ki, giving it the same adaptive and diverse properties as the former.
With things then going back to normal, with Naruko's training continuing, along with Black working to recover his own strength.
Though as their training progressed, Black couldn't deny that things were starting to…change as well.
When he first decided to take Naruko in, he merely saw her as a tool, an extension of his own will, to be used to help achieve the Zero Mortal Plan. However, this started to change when Naruko was old enough to speak and referred to him as "Tou-san", her father. Black having been stunned by this, as he never tried acting as such, merely raising her to when she could begin her training, yet she seemed to think differently as she still called him as such.
Things only changed more when her training began and progressed, with Black himself starting to actually look forward to training. Not wanting to simply push Naruko to grow stronger to assist in his plans, but also to make her as strong as she can be. His Saiyan Instincts urging him to help Naruko reach his level, to give him the challenge he desires. Even more so as his strength began returning little by little.
While he was still firmly set on completing the Zero Mortal Plan, or at least that was what he kept telling himself, Black now also waited for the day where Naruko could give him a proper challenge as well, to push him to grow stronger than he is now.
Black was pulled from his thoughts, when he saw Naruko come running up to him with an excited look on her face.
"Tou-san, look! I was just training when I saw everything start becoming clearer and seeing things really slowly! Then I looked at my reflection and saw my eyes looked different, see!" Naruko said while pointing at her eyes, drawing Black's attention to them, only for the Shinjin-turned-Saiyan to be surprised when he saw her eyes.
Rather than the dark blue color they normally were, her eyes were now a crimson red color with a black ring around the pupil and a single tomoe circling around them.
Despite Black not being familiar with many things in the Elemental Nations, he was familiar with what those eyes were and what it meant if Naruko had them.
"Is this some new power I got from how much I've been training? Can your eyes do this?" Asked Naruko while looking at Black, believing that he had the same eyes as her, while Black shook his head and looked at her.
"It is a new power, that only a certain group of people can awaken; I, however, do not have eyes like that. Sit down Naruko, I think it's time you learn certain things about yourself and me." Black said, motioning the ravenette to sit down, believing it's finally time to tell her the entire truth.
*Timeskip-Six Years*
Black had told Naruko the whole truth, about who he was, his plans, his reasons for taking her in, and what he knew about, which wasn't much. Though after she showed him her changed eyes, he knew that he needed to tell her the truth of who she was as well. Telling her everything from who her parents were, the night she was born, and how she ended up in the Crescent Moon Kingdom.
The entire time Naruko had listened without making a sound, before getting up and leaving once Black had finished. The Saiyan not going after her, knowing she likely needed some time to herself, as it was a lot of information to drop on an eight-year-old girl. Not only the fact she was, technically, adopted after being left outside of an orphanage, but that the man she saw as her father only took her in to be used as a tool.
It took nearly two days before Naruko finally came back and looked at Black with a blank expression before asking him if she was still just a tool for him to use to complete his plans. The question actually catching him off guard before Black began thinking about it. Wondering if he still saw Naruko as a tool to use for the Zero Mortal Plan, before thinking on all their interactions over the years.
And as much as Black wanted to say yes, she was just a tool for him to use as he saw fit, he knew it would have been a lie. As he actually started to…care about Naruko, seeing how she didn't act like how he's seen mortals, as nothing but selfish, greedy creatures to be wiped out.
So instead, he told her no, she wasn't just a tool anymore. With the smile he got in response actually making Black glad for once to have ended up in this world, of all the ones he could have landed in.
Afterwards, things returned to their usual routine, the only change being Naruko's training became more intense as she got older. Both to push her to become stronger and master her newly awakened Sharingan. While Black's own strength was returning as well, along with him even tapping into more of his potential, knowing he'll be stronger than ever when he reaches his former level.
Now after six years, Naruko, now fourteen-years-old, has learned everything she could from and Black, leaving the only things left for her is real experience. Though the ravenette had been surprised when her father came to her with some unexpected news.
"You're leaving?" Naruko asked, looking at Black in disbelief at what he said.
Over the years Naruko had grown into the very definition of a tomboy, with her keeping her hair cut short to just above her shoulders, not wanting it to get in the way during fights. With her attire consisting of grey gi tank top that showed her midriff, over a black long-sleeved turtleneck undershirt, black pants, a red sash around her waist, and white boots. Along with her tail wrapped around her waist as well.
Though while she didn't act girly, her developing figure and C-cup breasts still made sure she got plenty of attention. Usually resorting in any guys dumb enough to approach, only to either be scared off or sent flying.
"Not permanently, but yes, I'm leaving." Replied Black, something he decided on not too long ago.
"But…what about the plan for the Elemental Nations?" Questioned Naruko, knowing he wanted to wipe out the mortals here, after he was strong enough.
Something Naruko didn't really mind, especially after learning about all the wars fought and the creation of Jinchūriki, humans turned into weapons by containing one of the nine Bijū. Something she was originally supposed to be if she wasn't taken away from Konoha. And that's not counting everything else the Hidden Villages have done that aren't as public. Even during the supposed peacetimes, when they weren't fighting, it was only because they've noticed their numbers have gotten too low. So, they'd need to stop fighting and get their numbers back up, then start killing each other again in an endless cycle.
So now hearing Black was leaving, it confused Naruko that he seemed to be abandoning the plan.
"I haven't forgotten. But during my time here, raising you, and learning to embrace my own Saiyan Instincts, I've started realizing it's not my place to judge these mortals on whether they'll be wiped out or not. It's yours." Black answered, surprising Naruko.
"Me?" Naruko said, with Black nodding.
"Yes, you. This is your world Naruko, meaning it will be you who decides their final fate, whether they'll be exterminated or deserve to be spared. Take this chance to explore the world, learn about the mortals, observe them, see what they're really like personally. And when the time comes, you'll give your judgement." Said Black, knowing Naruko would be the one to decide the fate of the Elemental Nations.
Plus, while she was doing that, he would be dealing with that clan of parasites once and for all, knowing they've been allowed to exist for too long. And Black fully intended to wipe out every single one of them, until they weren't even a memory, merely a warning to mortals that dared believed they could stand amongst the divine.
"But…can I even make a decision like that? Am I ready?" Naruko asked worriedly, as while she agreed with his plan to exterminate all life here, that was when it was his plan and decision.
Now that he's leaving the choice up to her, Naruko wasn't sure if she could handle that kind of responsibility or if she'd be able to make the right judgement. If there even is a right judgement for this kind of decision.
Though she looked up at her father, when he put a hand on her head and smirked at her.
"I know you are. After all, you're Naruko Black, the daughter of Goku Black." Black stated, fully confident in Naruko to make the right call, while the girl looked at him in surprise, before nodding.
"Alright, I'll do my best." Replied Naruko, not wanting to let him down, with Black nodding before he pulled something out.
"And here, I got these for you as well." Said Black, holding out a set of green and gold Potara earrings and a Time Ring, much to Naruko's surprise.
"Use the Time Ring to help you on your journey and the Potara to show your status." Black said, handing them to Naruko, who shook off her surprise before slipping the Time Ring onto her right index finger and put on the earrings.
"I won't let you down, Tou-san." Naruko said, smiling at him, while Black nodded.
"I know you won't. And I also expect the next time we see each other; you'll be stronger as well. So, until next time." Black said, while raising his index and middle finger to his forehead before he Instant Transmissioned away.
With Naruko looking at the spot where he stood for a few moment, before taking a deep breath and flying off.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see Naruko being left in the Crescent Moon Kingdom by an unknown person, along with a different appearance, which will be explained. Only for her to be taken by Goku Black, who's been sent to the Elemental Nations after being defused from Future Zamasu and left in a weakened stated, with him taking Naruko in as his protégé, along with infusing his Saiyan/Shinji DNA into her, making her even stronger. Then we get a timeskip of Black training Naruko, learning he's also killed the Kyūbi due to it interfering in her training, along with him using the Time Ring to travel back in time learning not only about the Ōtsutsuki (with him also killing Isshiki and Toneri, but leaving Kaguya due to her lasting importance on the timeline), but also who Naruko is, before we see Naruko surprisingly has the Sharingan, which will also be explained later. Finally we see Black has started to actually care for Naruko, leading to him deciding to leave the judgement of the Elemental Nations up to her, whether they'll be destroyed or spared, while he deals with the remaining Ōtsutsuki. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
Storm out
