"Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power."

Lao Tzu

Chapter 1

So, he will finally rest. After so many years, he will see again his family and rest in paradise. It's strange the feeling of dying, they said that you will have memories glimpses, that your whole life will pass forward your eyes, but that didn't happened.

Now he's in a black void. And Naruto Uzumaki speaks his first words after his death:

-So, this is the after life, huh? Is anyone there?

Suddenly a light came, and now there is a shining figure, composed of what looks like light. A minute of silence is created, a mortal facing the most powerful entity of the multiverse, and that same silence is breaked when the shining figure finally speaks, making that the second sentence speaked in the black void.

- Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki, Kurama's third jinchūriki, Hinata Hyūga's husband and Boruto and Himawari Uzumaki's fathe, I have a proposal for you.

Each word speaked by the entity were loaded with power, a power that could kill Naruto in a moment, but he still want answers and this entity is the only one who can provide them.

-Wait, wait! Can you explain to me what's happening? I just died today, I know that you are powerful and can kill me easily, but please answer some questions that I have.

The entity looks at Naruto, looking like a lion over a rat, and for 1 second, Naruto thought that he was going to die. And finally, the entity speaks:

- It's fair,It was expected that maybe you would be confused. So, what do you want to know?

Reliefed, Naruto asks the entity his first question:

-What is this place? Is this the after life?

The Entity answers:

- This place is called the Void, It's one of the many spots that I have on this universe, nobody without my permission can enter this place. And for the other question, this isn't the after life, the after life is the perfect place to rest for eternity, and even I have to admit that the Void is a boring place. Any more questions?

- I don't want to be rude, but who are you?

The Entity answers:

- You can call me the One Above All, I'm the one who created all multiverses and universes, including your universe. I know this is a lot for a mortal like you, but I'm speaking the truth. Any more questions?

- I have a last question.

And finally what started all this dialogue brought up.

- Why you brought me here?

And One Above All answers

-I have a proposal for you, you can refuse it if you want, but knowing you, you won't refuse it.

-What is this proposal?

- My time is coming Naruto, and I can't do anything to stop it. Since the day I existed, I have been carrying a curse, that is slowly killing me. I had tried everyting to stop it, but I can't, and now I'm dying while we are speaking. I need to pass my power to someone, and you are the one I choosed to give my power.

- But why me?

- Because I saw your future, and I know you will do great things with it. You are human, you have feelings, you care for the others. I tried to care for the universes, but I have no feelings, and because of that I didn't helped those who needed help,like you. So, do you accept to be the next One Above All?

A hard choice to make, if Naruto says no, he will live with his family in the after life. But if he says yes, he can help those who suffered, and stop more suffering.

And a choice was made.

-I accept it.

-Perfect, prepare to receive my power.

Naruto close his eyes, and suddenly he feels pain, a lot of pain.

1 second passed, but for Naruto it were years of pure agony and pain, that was the result of infinity power and knowledge entering his souls, and now Naruto is the second One Above All.

Everything is about to change…
