Kimi wa kimi dake shika inai yo
Kawari nante hoka ni inainda
Kare naide ichirin no hana
A flower was seen blowing over the darker screen when suddenly a huge Rinne Sharingan appears, and the Title card displaying NARUTOナルト appears
Hikari ga matomo ni sashikoma nai kimi
Marude hikage ni saita hana no you
Nozon da hazu ja naka tta basho ni ne
Harasarete ugokezu ni irun da ne
Toji kaketa kimochi hakidaseba ii
Itami mo kurushi mi mo subete wo uketomeru yo
Dakara naka naide waratte ite ichirin no hana
Ai is seen with a scared look on her face her blue dress is covered in blood in her hands is a blooded lion themed ANBU mask and she is crying tears. A teardrop falls slowly to the ground as it splashes into a pool of blood. She then raises her head up dazed as memories flash through her mind and an image of Naruto's childhood. She reaches for Naruto and falls into a river of blood as the Jūbi and Gedo Statue flank her on opposite parallel sides she then rises
Ima ni mo karete shimai sou na kimi
Mujaki na sugata ga mou ichido mitakute
Kimi no chikara ni naritainda
Tatoe kimi igai no subete no hito wo teki ni mawasu
Toki ga kite mo kimi no koto mamori nukukara
More memories flash an image of Saki appearing smiling with her headband then it changes to an image with Saki supporting a battle hardened expression and her headband has a slash through it. Junko is crying being comforted by Sakura and Hinata. Ai continues to rise and grips her hand. Images depicting the events of Naruto and Boruto flash through her mind, Ai then clutches her head in pain.
(Rap)
You should notice that there is no other.
You should notice that there is no next time
You should notice that there is no other.
You should notice that there is no next...
Time notice that you should notice that
Notice that there'S no other
She then screams in pain as the area turns into an introverted color scheme of white, black, and red. The Jūbi then opens its mouth and slowly descends onto Ai as she thrashes around violently. Imagines showing Naruto being attacked by the villagers as a child surface and of Tobi with his Mangekyō Sharingan spinning appear. The Jūbi is then introverted sideways and Ai is now falling into its mouth as the hands of the Jūbi start to intertwine with that of the Gedo Statue.
Kimi wa kimi dake shika inai yo
Ima made mo korekara saki ni mo
Tatoe kimi igai no subete no hito wo teki ni mawasu
Toki ga kite mo kimi no koto mamori nuku kara
Make naide ichirin no hana
Repeat
Ai closes her eyes and accepts her fate. Then an image of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki appears with his hand outstretched and Ai tries to reach for it as hundreds of Jūbi arms start to reach out and grab her, dragging deeper and deeper into the pitch blackness. Then Black Zetsu's signature smile appears as an image. Ai grunts her teeth and grabs Hagoromo's hand and a bright light engulfs her as she opens her eyes revealing the Rinne Sharingan and she ties her Konohagakure head and stand on top the Jūbi with the Gedo Statue to her right Hagoromo behind her with Black Zetsu. Hagoromo nodes to her when Ai looks back and she looks forward with eyes of determination as she faces off against the masked man standing upon the Kyūbi. Then the title card appears again NARUTOナルト
Konohagakure; Several years later
Light shines brightly through the blinds of a small apartment located in the poorer districts of Konohagakure. A sleeping five year old Naruto was snoring soundly in his room. Soft padding was heard down the hallway. AI started banging on his door. "Naruto-kun…Naruto-kun…." Naruto just rolled over and snored somemore.
AI had enough and kicked the door open and found her adoptive son sleeping. She narrowed her eyes and spotted ear plugs in his ears. Her eyes twitched and a tick appeared on her forehead. {"That little devil!"} she carried an evil glint in her eyes as she formed hand seals. "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" She proclaimed softly as a small fireball rushed towards Naruto.
A loud ear-piercing scream was heard throughout Konohagakure. The dog masked ANBU stationed outside the apartment fell out the tree comical style and landed on his head. "Naruto must've overslept again…." He mumbled as he stood up and dusted himself off. Naruto sat down in the kitchen "Ow..ow…ow" he grunted, AI was cooking lunch, Zetsu appeared and sat across from Naruto. The two shared a small staring contest. "That's enough." Spoke AI ended the contest as she handed them their food.
Meat for Zetsu and Okonomiyaki for Naruto. Naruto stared at his plate and looked at his adoptive mother. AI had sat down and sighed as she started eating her Nattō. "Uhh…okaa-san" "No Naruto…you can't have Ramen everyday…you must grow up to be a healthy shinobi and we have training today. You can have ramen afterward." Naruto grinned as he started eating, "Yay!" He cheered, AI smiled and patted her adoptive son.
Hokage tower; same time
"So they're planning a training session?" Hiruzen leaned back in his chair as he rubbed his beard in thought. "Yes sir" Kakashi replied with his mask off. "Hmm, hopefully she won't release the Jūbi again…" Kakashi paled and remembered the last time it happened. "The life of a Jinchūriki is hard…especially one of a primordial beast." lamented Kakashi. Hiruzen nodded, "Hmm, Naruto needs friends." He finally spoke with a sigh.
Kakashi just shook his head, "He won't be able to befriend people there because the people are scared of the Demoness of Konohagakure…" he sighed, as did Hiruzen both inwardly cursing the stupidity of the civilians and some shinobi. Hiruzen then perked up "I think I have an idea. It is risky." Kakashi leaned forward.
AI and Naruto's private training grounds
AI led Naruto to their private training grounds, Naruto hung on to the back of his adoptive mother as she carried him piggyback style hopping from tree limb to tree limb. The ground was originally an abandoned training ground discovered by Zetsu. Black Zetsu rested calmly in the sleeve of her jacket as she stopped to rest on a tree limb. Naruto hopped off to take a rest while AI activated her Sharingan scanning the area. She then deactivated her dōjutsu and placed the palm of her right hand into the tree as Black Zetsu slithered out her jacket sleeve and pooled on the ground before reforming.
He then made several hand signs, "Hōshi no Jutsu!" He shouted as several spores grew from Ai's body she grunted as she felt her immense chakra reserves being consumed. The spores then fully transformed into fully functional White Zetsu clones. "Fan out and warn us of any approaching intruders." Order AI with a hint of firmness and coldness in her tone. "Kaa-San…" Naruto spoke slowly, still not used to this side of his mother.
The clones nodded with a mock salute "Yes ma'am!" They all then became one with the ground using Kagerō. AI then took Naruto by hand and activated the Mangekyō Sharingan in her left eye before focusing on the training grounds "Kamui!" The area around Naruto and AI became wrapped and vortexed as the two were teleported to the grounds. AI landed on her feet and immediately rushed to her son's side as Naruto started vomiting.
"I'm sorry Musuko, I forgot you aren't used to the Kamui technique." AI gently rubbed her son's back. Naruto quit throwing up his breakfast, "It's okay Kaa-San…" AI nodded and looked around as the wind blew through the grass of the training grounds. "I'm ready Kaa-San." Stated Naruto as he stood up he noticed his adoptive mother staring up at the clouds.
He eyed the Uchiha symbol on the back of her jacket. He had questions {"If Kaa-San is from the same clan as Teme…then aren't we related?"} {"Who is my father? And why do everyone look at us with hatred?"} he shook his head and pushed these thoughts back Into the back of his head as his mother turned to face him. "Sorry I was distracted…I liked to begin with Taijutsu." AI smirked and crossed her arms and flashed her Sharingan.
Naruto paled and started sweating bullets. {" Oh man….this is worse than the academy…."}. Ai's smirk grew. "Are you ready to dance?" She asked as she cocked her head to the side. Naruto got into his stance albeit a tad bit fearful. Nobody moved for a second then Black Zetsu began and raised his hand "Ready?…" The wind slowed to a crawl and the birds stopped chirping "Hajime!" Black Zetsu shouted as he vanished using Kagerō.
Both vanished in a blur and then clashed in a fierce display of Taijutsu. AI launched a jab catching Naruto in the face causing him to back up. He then quickly had no time to recover as he had to dodge a leg sweep from his adoptive mother. He managed to counter several hits before AI spun around and launched a whirlwind kick. Naruto caught it but the power behind it sent him skidding back as his feet dug into the ground {"Such strength…."} he kneeled and breathed deeply.
"Fool she has the Jūbi…she is like you, a demon." Spoke a demonic voice. Naruto froze as the world became dark around him. AI eyed her son carefully {"His Taijutsu has improved…still what the hell has the academy been teaching him?!"} she scowled as she recalled the events of last week.
Flashback
Naruto sat outside the academy on a swing, his face was all beat up. Everyone ignored him until footsteps were heard. "….", Naruto looked away from Zetsu as piercing yellow eyes eyed the young Jinchūriki from behind his bamboo hat. Zetsu sighed and took the boy home using Kagerō. A white hair instructor came out and looked left and right, as he couldn't find the blonde boy.
"Are you looking for my son?" Spoke a young voice. Mizuki whirled around and spotted a teenage girl of 16-17 years of age. She was fair-skinned with short spiky, black hair that had a slight blue tint to it. She wore bandages that were fashioned as a strapless sports bra. Over her eyes was a Konohagakure forehead protector with a black band. She wore dark blue pants, over which hangs a blue cloth that covers her from her stomach to her knees, and black arm guards that cover her forearms. Her feet and ankles were covered in dark blue wrappings.
Mizuki blinked with a slight blush on his cheek and he looked away. {"Mizuki…you have a fiancé"} he kept repeating in his head. He looked back at the girl and noted she looked exactly like Sasuke Uchiha in fact she looks like a carbon copy minus being a girl. Said girl looked annoyed. "If you're gonna stare, let me know which hospital to send you to." Mizuki gulped and stepped back "I…I..I" AI had enough of the annoying instructor and brushed past him harshly.
Mizuki was left to his own thoughts. {"Wait did she say son, does she mean...the"} he looked to where the girl was standing and walked home shaking his head he needed to calm down.
She made her way inside the academy and stopped in the now quieted hallways. After looking left and right she performed some hand seals. "Hōshi no Jutsu" she clutched her stomach slightly and felt something in her throat. She gagged as a white substance exited her throat revealing a White Zetsu clone. "That Mizuki guy, he is bad news, he was gonna use Naruto-Kun to steal the forbidden scroll!" Exclaimed the clone. AI nodded and flinched as the clone reentered her mouth.
{"We need to find a better way to do this."} groaned AI as she whipped some White substance from her mouth. She then entered the classroom where Hiruzen and Iruka were talking amongst themselves. She cleared her throat, gaining both men's attention, "Ah AI good of you to join us." Ai nodded and leaned up against the wall. She knew what this was about and she had an answer. "Iruka..this is Ai Uchiha, she is Naruto-kun's adoptive mother. AI this…" "Iruka Umino." Ai cut the elder hokage off, "Naruto..speaks highly of you." she spoke the last half in a whispered tone. Iruka scanned the teenaged girl up and down and frowned "Aren't you a little too…." Ai flashed a glare which told him to not finish that sentence, Ai then spoke up "I know what this about Naruto failed again...and again..and again...I'm starting to doubt the capabilities of this "academy" from what Zetsu said Naruto has been sabotaged which doesn't surprise me." AI finished and awaited one of the two males to speak.
Iruka couldn't believe it {"Naruto...was sabotaged? Is that why….Oh my."}, Hiruzen felt a large headache coming. {"Oh...boy...I already know where this is going…"}. Ai sighed and spoke again, "I'm guessing you never told him? Eh?" This was directed at the aged hokage who had his head hung down. Iruka blinked "Told me what?" as he looked at Hiruzen then to AI his eyes demanding an answer. "The reason I was chosen to adopt Naruto was because I'm Jinchūriki as well." Iruka's eyes widened as he backed up {"She is...a Jinchūriki as well! Why wasn't I told about…"} Ai seemingly answered "Its because my tailed beast is different unlike the others the Jūbi is simply that...a mindless beast of pure chakra...it seeks nothing but pure destruction and is a pure sociopath not understanding the consequences or wrongdoing of its actions." explained AI as she held her hand up removing the forehead protector off her eyes, her right eye slowly morphed from a normal three Tomoe Sharingan, to a Mangekyō Sharingan, then finally to coveted and feared Rinne Sharingan.
Ikura felt a sense of dread, chaos and pure untapped fear overcome him like a massive Tsunami. The world went black as a massive Rinne Sharingan appeared behind AI and a loud ear-piercing bestial roar ripped throughout the space. "Do you fear me? Good...Fear me." AI then took a step towards Ikura who instinctively backed up in fear. "Hate me...lothe me...wish to kill me..The demoness of Konohagakure I only ask you to end your hatred of my son, My Naruto." AI's tone shifted to a neutral robotic tone as she held her hand out. Hiruzen cleared his throat "If you're done scaring Ikura…" he began slowly, as AI simply backed off and proceeded to sit on a desk opposite of Ikura and Hiruzen. AI cut him off "I'm withdrawing Naruto from the academy and will teach him myself...I will allow him to return with next year's class. This academy...is a joke...a pathetic waste of space, half these children will die ludicrous deaths." Ikura wanted to defend his students but found his voice silent.
Hiruzen sighed and looked up at the ceiling, {"Minato...Kushina forgive me…"}.
Flashback ends
Naruto dodged a kick to his right and blocked his mothers foot. AI twisted her ankle and spun in the air which caused Naruto to flip onto his left side causing him to smack into the ground head first. Naruto quickly rolled and stood up dazed, but was forced to block several punches in quick session. Naruto then rushed forward but AI used Kamui to cause Naruto to run through her, she then whirled around and performed Hand seals: Boar→Horse→Tiger, she then took a huge breath of air and gathered chakra in her lungs before exhaling. "(Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" Naruto whirled around and paled and sweatdropped as a massive ball of fire rushed towards him. {"She said she wanted to try Taijutsu first!"} Naruto quickly went through Hand seals: Tiger → Hare → Boar → Dog "Doton: "Doryūheki"!" a massive wall of earth and stone rose up slowly from the ground as the fireball collided causing a massive explosion.
Forests outside Konohagakure: Same time
"Asuma-sensei! Where the hell is that Blonde idiot?!" shouted Ino, as she tried to gather her breath. Shikimaru sweatdropped "Troublesome..blonde…" he muttered Ino whipped her head towards him and was about to retort when an explosion was heard. "What the heck was that?" asked Kiba as he looked up, Akamaru barked in agreement. Asuma and Kurenai sweatdropped. Shino whipped his head around "Kurenai-sensei look out behind you!" Kurenai quickly dodged a fast moving white blur, which collided with a tree. "Ow Ow Ow…" groaned the White Zetsu clone as it stood up and clutched its head in pain. Asuma stared at the strange humanoid for a second {"Was he responsible for the explosion?"} a massive roar ripped through the forest quickly debunked that theory. The white zetsu looked up in a panic "Uh-oh...Naruto must have pissed Ai-sama off really badly!" he exclaimed.
Ino snorted "Ha as if that blonde idiot could have a teacher." the White zetsu blinked. "Ai is Naruto-kun's adoptive mother, and the Jinchūriki of the Jūbi." He chirped nonchalantly, as Shikimaru, Shino, Kurenai, and Asuma sweatdropped at him, giving away that information freely like nothing was wrong. Ino face fell upon hearing that "Wha…." she sputtered, as another massive roar ripped through the trees again. The White Zetsu looked up before addressing the group again "So...you guys are the ones the Old guy in robes chose to help Naruto-kun and AI-sama train?" Asuma's eyes bugged out of his sockets "H...How did you know that?!" He damned as his cigarette fell out of his mouth.
White Zetsu shrugged again, "I was there using the Kagerō." he stated as he used said method to meld with the ground as if it was nothing. Ino blinked in amazement, as another White Zetsu appeared with Black Zetsu attached to his right side. "OI you dumbass get your ass moving AI is about to go on a rampage." Black Zetsu snarled. "Aww she better be nice to Naruto-kun." pouted the White Zetsu clone. Black Zetsu shook his head "No that old bandage tool, decided to send his beloved Root ANBU after the Kyūbi host." The White Zetsu clone reared back "Oh shit...this is bad." Asuma and Kurenai shared a glance before Black Zetsu harshly addressed them. "What the hell are you doing here? You better not be Root." Ino and Kiba took a step forward "Or what?" they both challenged in unison.
Black Zetsu gave a toothy smile. "I will eat you and bury the rest of you where nobody will find you." he chuckled darkly as the two preteens backed off. Another explosion rippled through the area causing everyone to turn and try and see what was going on.
A few hours before
AI was engaging in a fierce taijutsu battle with several ANBU shinobi belonging to the Root subdivision of the ANBU Black Ops. She was fighting multiple opponents at once, she kicked a larger ANBU in the face and then launched off before flashing through a hand seal: Horse "Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku!" as a massive burst of flames cut through a large number of Root ANBU. "So...incredible…." said one in awe, "So this is the power of a Jinchūriki." spoke another. He then tilted his head as the dust settled and an uneasy quietness settled throughout the training grounds. He peered his eyes when a massive single eye with nine tomoe appeared in the dust and a huge roar was heard.
Ai stood on top of the first form of her partner, the Jūbi. The Nation-Building God, or The One-eyed God, as it was formerly known as. Naruto had been taken back to Konohagakure courtesy of white zetsu. AI had her eyes closed as she stood on top of the massive Rabbit-like monster. She then pulled out two double chained Kama, as the beast awaited her command. Her breathing came to a crawl as time slowed down. The subtle heartbeat was heard throughout the land. AI then flashed her eyes revealing the Rinne Sharingan in all their glory as the rabbit monster unleashed a massive roar.
