A 6-year-old Naruto grinning in his pyjamas was enough to make most kids his age scared. If the adults knew who was scaring the kids, they would be running away from him, pants heavier with shit and damp with piss. That was how scared they were of Kurama.

Then again, that grin changed to what was recognized as the prankster's greatest achievement- changing the villagers' views of him from the reincarnation of Kurama (cue scoff from multiple jinchūriki, biju and the Sandaime Hokage, who felt like it for unknown reasons) to a menace in his own right in the near future. That was still happening- Even the older version, no matter how mature he was, loved pranks due to their very nature- but this time, some pranks will go far into what people won't consider funny.

He lost that grin though, which relieved certain people for unknown reasons. His expression turned contemplative, as he thought about how he was going to do everything. First things first, he needed training, but Sandaime-jiji won't really allow it, he needs to join and graduate from the Academy. Also, the training that he receives must be of top quality, but he can't even think of any people at this time who meet his ridiculous standards… alive, anyway.

Naruto smirked, and somewhere in Amegakure, Orochimaru shivered, before he ignored the feeling. Naruto knew exactly what to do now. He weaved the following sequence of signs in practise for what he planned

Then, he decided that he was going to create the blood clone required. He bit his right thumb, drawing blood. He swiped the blood across his left index and middle fingers, which he then pressed on his right index and middle fingers. Swiping his hands apart, he formed the clone seal- the index and middle fingers in a cross, while whispering "Chishio Bunshin no Jutsu" {1}

Immediately, a clone of him formed, which was made of blood and chakra for flesh. "Right, NaruClone! You're gonna be staying here and pretending to be NaruIdiot for the benefit of the idiots of the village. While at it, make contact with five people- Kurenai Yūhi, Anko Mitarashi, Hana Inuzuka, Yūgao Uzuki and Mikoto Uchiha- I'm not sure their relationships were genuine in hindsight. Gain their trust- they're the only people I trust at the moment. Stay away from Jiji insofar as the truth. He doesn't need to know what happens yet. Prank the hell outta the Harunos, you know how, and why. Most importantly, gather information and do some trap training in the forests." he ordered

"Roger! Godspeed, Boss!" responded the clone. Once that was done, Naruto used his chakra to perform the above mentioned hand signs required, and used his new jutsu-

"Jikū Ninpō- Ijigenzukuri no Jutsu! Jigenmei: Kunjou!"{2}

Immediately, the original disappeared from the world, and the clone knew what he had to do in 2 years

Kunjou

Naruto entered the world he created… and it didn't look like much. So he used his imagination to make a lush forest and a clearing in the middle, a lake to practise water techniques, and so on.

In the end, he had created something as ridiculous as his Oiroke no Jutsu- an amalgamation of all the hidden villages. He then went through the following seals-

And then called out another technique- "Kuchiyose- Shinigami!" and slammed his palms forward.

In front of him, an emaciated male appeared, with pale skin, scary-looking yellow eyes and a knife in its mouth. He wore a white kimono, which hung loosely off the bony frame he had, and was oversized to the point of absurdity. It looked like he was smiling, giddy at the prospect of another meal (Eternal battle is one thing, but if summoned normally, the summoner may be eaten.). That smile soon turned into a look of shock on seeing Naruto, though.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Master. I am sorry that I had to seal the Nine-Tailed Fox into you, but had I known that you were my master, it wouldn'tve been so. If I may, why do you look so shocked?" Shinigami asked, while changing his expression to something akin to awe.

Naruto was stuck staring at him, much to Hagoromo's and Kurama's amusement. He then proceeded to introduce them to dropped jaws as well. When asked why, well...

"Weren't you supposed to be a very grumpy person, who would only submit to himself, or anyone who beat you in battle, which would lead to a battle, that would lead to me winning and gaining your eternal allegiance!?"

… now you know. Naruto, even with all his maturity, was extremely prone to anything a kid was prone to. While his childish tendencies died out, his worship of the cliché was somehow retained.

"Whatever! I guess you can't have everything. Anyway, I summoned you because I wanted to know whether you can revive a few people for me. It's not a problem if you can't, it's just more convenient if you could." Summoning the Grim Reaper for something as big as that, yet acting like it wasn't any big deal was Naruto at his best… Even surpassing the destruction his father performed on Iwa, and perfecting the Rasenshuriken.

"... You do realize, Master, that being my master grants you control over life and death, yes? I will admit, asking for permission is pleasant, but it is not necessary."

Looks like Naruto was godlike- but he didn't like being godlike. In his mind, power is something you had to earn, not gain easily.

This was actually why he tried to seal his power away- he wanted to live his life without the burden of being given power, especially one that doesn't need a method to corrupt the people who held it. Absolute power corrupts absolutely after all. It was lucky that the Hyūga clan didn't realize the potential the Byakugan held.

He decided that he needed more training once he knew just who he was going up against, and so the people he was going to revive were the best he could think of.

"Well, you DO have one of them, MY FATHER, sealed up in your stomach, so I can't very well go ripping him outta there without your consent, now can I?" he asked with a menacing leer.

Sure enough, Mr. Intimidating was sufficiently intimidated. Enough that he was ready to revive just about anybody to escape his master's unsaid threat. He immediately gave his consent.

What happened next was a list of people being rattled off, which totalled to 5 people, 2 of whom were deemed untouchable except for natural causes post revival.

Now, Naruto was almost ready to revive them, but he needed a mask. Before he dismissed Koro (Reapers have names too), Said reaper gave Naruto something that was unprecedented- a belt.

This belt was unusual though- Its buckle had the shape of an oversized digital watch, white in color. The straps of the watch-buckle had receptacles for… something. That something was given to him- a thick pocket watch with a rotatable dial. In the end, it was slightly intimidating.

"Not that I hate it, but what does this belt do?" asked a confused Naruto. Koro chuckled and replied.

"Place the belt where you would have your belt buckle. You will get the knowledge about this belt transferred to your mind, Master." The amused tone in his voice was obvious. He returned before Naruto could kill him.

Deciding that Koro couldn't do much against him, he placed it as directed. The result was magnificent. Holding the pocket watch in his right hand, Naruto twisted the outer dial to make the arrow point towards the right strap of the buckle, after which he pressed the button on top. Some sounds that wouldn't be unusual in a quiz show came out, followed by the call of "JI-OU!' in an imperious tone. Then he pushed the watch into the buckle strap, tapping the button on the top of the watch-buckle.

Music played. This meant that it was standing by. Physically, the buckle tilted, pulling the filled buckle down. Naruto took a pose, where he just raised his left arm and held it up next to his face, and placed his right hand below the left strap, while covering it from view. The music was invigorating and Naruto was hit with motivation to do his best.

"HENSHIN!"

With that shout, he pulled his right hand up, and held them wide, as if offering someone some blessing. Immediately, an ominous chime sounded out while Naruto wa surrounded by a flash, followed by the shout of

"RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER… ji-o"

When the flash ended, it was shocking to see. Naruto gained flashy armor! This consisted of a mostly silver getup, in which was traces of black and pink stripes. On the torso was a retro-style watch strap, while the helmet held two watch-hands. The visor had JI-O written in pink Katakana.

This was flashy armor, but that's what he needed, and he had a prank to execute on the people to be revived.

{1}- This is the standard Blood Clone Technique you find in many fanfictions. Difference is that my Blood Clone is more like a shadow cone that doesn't pop on contact.

{2}- Space-Time Ninpou- Alternate Dimension Creation Technique! Dimension name- Trainds (Kunjou- Trainds because Kunrenjou means Training grounds)

The Byakugan has a lot of potential for ninjutsu- It's just that no one's seen past the surface as it has been seen with the Sharingan. Naruto has gained all three doujutsu, but will rely on the Byakugan the most. Rinnegan will work for certain applications, but you won't see Naruto using the Sharingan for anything apart from the Mangekyou abilities and genjutsu

I didn't use Kamui because there's a surprise to it.

I love the concept behind Kamen Rider Ji-O (I don't care what the official English name is, I will call it Ji-o, as that is how it's pronounced in the original.). That said, I almost gave Naruto the abilities of Kamen Rider Ghost. Not necessarily a good idea considering the use of Edo Tensei. Thus, I scrapped it in favour of Ji-O.

The explanation will be given next chapter.

Those who like my other stories, I will update the HP fic in the coming month. The Arifureta fic will come after that.

Review pls (I'm not a review whore tho, so do it at your discretion)
