Prologue
"It seems that you have underestimated the humans Shinigami-sama." Truth chuckled at the death god's predicament. In turn, the death god glared at the god of alchemy. The thought of being insulted by a deity with a child-like voice and appearance annoyed him thought it didn't show. His facial expression remained impassive as always even as he made a smart remark towards Truth.
"If I do recall, you were sealed inside an artificial human not too long ago." Truth's grin widened at this. He scratched the back of his head embarrassedly as memories of the incident resurfaced once more. He had underestimated the amount of knowledge the dwarf in the flask contained and almost paid the price. He was temporarily sealed within the creature's body and provided it with his godly powers. If it wasn't for the effort of a small group of humans and the betrayal of a certain greedy homunculus, millions or even billions of lives would have been lost before he managed to escape. Had that occurred, Truth's pride would have taken a critical hit. Truth shuddered at such a thought.
"I cleaned my mess up already Shinigami-sama. The question that remains is, how exactly are you going to clean up this mess up before it becomes a disaster?" The death god merely shrugged his shoulders at this. He wasn't sure how he would go about reclaiming his powers from the infant without breaching contracts he himself created. But at the same time he couldn't allow a human to wield such power more specifically his power. A human with the power of the Shinigami would not end well. If he managed to gain access to the spirt realm, he would be able to revive any human being he wanted with an exception being the souls he personally consumed. As soon as someone found out about this, this boy would be nothing but a means to reviving family, friends, loved ones, and of course powerful warriors over and over. People would no longer fear death or any of its associations. As soon as the boy was old enough, he would be used as a breeding machine to give birth to future revivers. That way, the power to revive others would not be lost. Acts like that carried grave consequences hence the reason why he needed to retrieve his power from the small infant. Truth scratched his chin gently as he thought about a solution for Shinigami's problem. It didn't take long before an idea hatched within his mind.
"We could always use a certain gate of mine." This statement caught the death god off guard. He was not expecting an offer such as this. By using that gate, he would be able to extract his energy from the boy in exchange for something less catastrophic. Truth would be able to trade quality for quantity. The boy would receive knowledge on alchemy and maybe a few other things in exchange for the energy of a death god. But why would Truth do something like that? He wasn't gaining anything useful from this transaction. Just what was Truth planning? Maybe he wanted something in return. There was only one way to find out.
"What do you want in return?" The Shinigami was sure Truth wanted something for his service and that whatever it was would be pricey.
"Do I need a reason to help my best friend Shinigami-sama?" Shinigami turned his full attention towards the Truth and stared at him as if he was looking at his soul. Truth's smile hadn't falter despite the piercing look he received. After what seemed like an eternity, Shinigami decided to simply accept Truth's offer.
"I suppose you don't." The Shinigami returned his attention to the young infant in front of him.If Truth was willing to help him fix his mess for free then who was he to complain? "You may use your gate." In that moment, he was grateful towards the god of alchemy. He just prevented a disaster from occurring. Had that disaster occurred, he would have been a laughing stock for eternity.
"Besides, I'm a bit curious about the value of your power even if it's just a small dose. In all my years of existence, I've never performed an action like this." Truth scratched his chin as he thought about the bizarre results to come. If a single leg was enough to give someone enough knowledge to use transmutation without a transmutation circle then imagine the possibilities one would gain from trading energy of a god, more specifically a death god. Shinigami released a heavy sigh as he addressed the grinning buffoon.
"Wasn't it that same curiosity that led to you being sealed away?" Truth blushed in embarrassment. He had several opportunities to eliminate the Dwarf in the flask but he was curious about the creature's goal and what it would do to accomplish them. The results were intriguing to say the least. He learned a valuable lesson from the homunculus.
"I won't make the same mistake Shinigami-sama. I would hate to be sealed away again even if it's temporary. Now let's get this operation started." With that being said, Truth began the ritual by summoning a pair of doors resembling a set of large stone tablets engraved with a mural. The doors opened up revealed nothing but endless darkness. Several shadow hands reached out of the doors and grabbed the infant. Within seconds, the infant was pulled into the dark abys. As soon as Naruto passed through the gates, both doors slammed shut.
The two deities' stood in silence as the procedure took place which lasted 5 minutes. As soon as the gates were opened, several shadow hands could be seen holding the infant. Said hands proceeded to place the infant on the floor before retreating inside the gates once more. Upon completion, the gates closed itself. Truth appeared next to the infant and began inspecting him. Once he was pleased with his findings, he turned towards death and smiled.
"We're out of the blue Shinigami-sama. He no longer has any connection to the spirit realm." The death god released a heavy sigh.
"That's wonderful news Truth. Now the only thing left is to release this back human into his world then we can go our separate ways." Truth nods his head in agreement. There was no point keeping the human here any longer that they should so without further ado, truth returned the infant back to where he found him.
