Naruto, looking back, didn't know why he did what he did, but the talks about peace he had with his teacher and godfather really painted a clear image on a blank canvas, or maybe the elemental nations were the canvas here. He didn't know, if it was him, the Kyubi, or the world itself who painted the image, but he was for sure going to be anything but happy from this outcome.
Flash back
5 month in to the training trip
Naruto had much to ponder; he now had the third revelation of his life as a ninja, not as a jinchuriki, but as a ninja. He and Jiraiya were traveling, and they encountered a group of low-level bandits. While Naruto knew he had to kill someone someday, he never imagined it would be this difficult.
They were bandint weren't they then why were they so happy when they took kunai to their heart for each other , why?.
Naruto thought, he still remember the look that one of bandit shot him when he took his first life , while he just stood there with a bloody kunai in his hands , the other bandit came near the dead body and sobbed.
Uncontrollably
He was pouring all he had while clutching the life less soulless body .
Than where it him Naruto, he took someone's loved one. And because he is Naruto who wanted good for everyone, he cried on his knees.
No, not because he took his first life, but rather he took two life at the least. While he was going to turmoil, jiraya has already killed and destroyed other bandits. And the one who was crying suddenly launched himself with a animalistic growl toward Naruto.
Naruto didn't put any defence, he did not know because of the guilt or just because of the eyes of the charging man.
They were red as it's get.
But jiraya saved him. The hair in shape of needle that came out of jiraya jutsu and impaled themselves in his vital saved him.
.
.
.
He didn't sleep for many days , no not because of the nightmare.
He had them for his entire life.
But because of the one question.
Why?
Why is human is human , and not do anything human perceive?
Why is human is human , but don't have any human qualities?
Is it because they are shinobi? Then what about the people who hurt him when he was young?
Is it because they are in pain? Then why cause more pain to another?
Is it because there are different ideals? So why not have debate over such trivial things?
If you believe that one child can harm 1000s of trained soldiers, then does this factor have any kind of basis.
Then why ???
Naruto looked in front of him.
Jiraya while worried about his student left him be , he knew how tough it can be to have first kill.
But Naruto has different questions.
"Hey sensai"
Jiraya stopped , whenever Naruto called him sensai, that means he is serious. So he quickly replied. As same.
"Yes Naruto"
"Why do you think human is human. And not humane at the same time"
Jiraya was taken back by the question but he didn't show it to him, but he replied.
" Naruto let me ask you a question, when we kill animal to eat doesn't it hurt animals too?"
Naruto didn't know where this was going but he understood the answer , but the question remains the same. When he was going to reply. But looking at jiraya who wasn't finished he let him continue.
" If you kill a butterfly, you are a villain and if you kill a cockroach you are a hero.
This is the world we live in"
Naruto eyes wide open , This was the answer .
Only ideals are different but not the idea's.
..
.
.
Naruto woke up in the cahmber or home or prison in his seal.
"Hello ningen"
There this was , a deep voice of kyubi.
"How have you been kyubi"
Kyubi snorted, he knew that his hist had his first kill but didn't understand what was so great about it , humans always does this things , it's human nature.
" Why are you here ? , Does lil Naruto need someone to consolidate him about his first kill?"
" Hahahaha , you ningen are all in same "
Naruto didn't know why but he replied.
"It seems you know humans better than human do them selves"
"Of course i do , i am millennials old child"
Naruto arched an eyebrow, '1000 huh'.
Naruto took a seat on the watery floor. He looked around the sewer like mindscape and cringed. Closing his eyes he changed his mindscape into a forest , trees as big as Hokage monument, caves bigger than that. The cage disappeared and kyubi got a locket with the imprint of seal.
"This is nice, isn't it kyubi"
Kurama who was skepticall on what was going on replied.
"What do you want child"
There wasn't any malice in his words. And Naruto noted that fact.
"Enlighten me on human nature kyubi"
He didn't know it yet but this is where it will start.
The changes in the heart.
The changes in the society.
The painting without the canvas which was painted with bloods of thousands will have more colours in it from now on.
And the canvas would be the heart of people.

3 month later
.
Naruto opend his eyes again. Finding himself in his mindscape which now have some animals rooming around and lakes he saw in waterfall village.
"Hello Naruto "
Kyubi came out from bushes , he changed himself in to small fox. And had a rabbit in his mouth.
"Hunting again eh kurama"
Yes they are on name basis now. While it started as strange they became tolerant of each other eventually.
"Kurama" Naruto looking ahead towards nowhere said.
"Yes"
"I want to write a book , a book on ideals , a book on history, a book on human , a book on humane...and i need your help.
Naruto replied pointing toward kyubi.
The Kyubi, still harboring reservations, regarded Naruto with a mixture of skepticism and curiosity. "And what purpose would such a book serve, Naruto? Will it change the nature of the shinobi world? Will it bring an end to the cycle of pain and suffering?"
Naruto's determination burned brightly in his eyes. "Maybe not on its own, Kyubi, but knowledge has the power to inspire change. If we can help others understand the roots of our existence, the ties that bind us, then perhaps we can lay the foundation for a different future. We can encourage empathy, unity, and a new way of thinking."
.
Kurama's gruff voice rumbled with wisdom. "Human nature is a complex and messy thing, Naruto. It is driven by desires, ambitions, and fears. We hurt others to protect ourselves and sometimes even hurt ourselves in the process. It is an unending cycle."
Naruto clenched his fists, determination shining through his confusion. "But I won't accept that this cycle can't be changed. I want to make a difference, no matter how small. If I can understand human nature better, maybe I can find a way to bring about that change."
Impressed by Naruto's unwavering resolve, Kurama let out a resigned sigh. "You truly are a stubborn brat, Naruto. Very well, I'll share my insights into human nature, but be warned, it won't be pleasant."
Kurama raised an eyebrow, considering the proposition. "A book, huh? It's better than the pranks you usually pull, I suppose. Fine, you have my permission. Just don't expect it to be a bestseller."
Eager to make a difference, Naruto poured his heart and soul into writing. He meticulously chronicled the tales shared by the Kyubi, intertwining them with his own experiences and reflections. The book would serve as a testament to the harsh realities of the shinobi world, urging readers to question and challenge the status quo.
Months passed, and Naruto's book on human nature in the shinobi world was published. It spread like wildfire among the shinobi nations, sparking conversations and igniting a spark of introspection within the hearts of many. People began to question the long-standing traditions and seek alternative paths to achieve peace.
Many writer were skepticall on where such book came , even jiraya thought that the world needed more of this books , but he didn't know that the author is his studies and his views are the one who gave the basis as naive it was gave him..

2 years in his training trip
Naruto's excitement grew as he laid out his proposal to the Kyubi. "Think about it, Kyubi. We can delve into the ancient legends, the origin of the tailed beasts, and the beliefs of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. It's a story waiting to be told, one that will shed light on our shared history and the interconnectedness of our world."
And so, Naruto and the Kyubi embarked on a remarkable journey of discovery and collaboration. They delved into the ancient scrolls, unearthed forgotten texts, and engaged in profound conversations that spanned days and nights. Naruto's writing skills grew with each passing page, while the Kyubi shared its ancient wisdom, offering a perspective that bridged the gap between history and the present.
Their book began to take shape—a testament to the origins of the tailed beasts, the legacy of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, and the intertwined destinies of the shinobi world. Naruto wove together tales of creation, sacrifice, and the profound connection between humans and the tailed beasts, offering a glimpse into a forgotten era where harmony and balance were once possible.
As the book neared completion, Naruto couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. It was more than just a story; it was an opportunity to reshape perceptions and challenge long-held beliefs. The book would be a catalyst for change, an invitation for the shinobi nations to question their preconceived notions and forge a new path forward.
With the Kyubi's blessing, the book on the origins of the tailed beasts and the teachings of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki was published. Its impact was immediate and far-reaching. Shinobi from all walks of life devoured its pages, contemplating the profound revelations and reflecting on the nature of their existence.
Discussions ensued, debates raged, and a new wave of introspection swept through the shinobi nations. Some clung fiercely to tradition, while others embraced the possibility of change. The book became a symbol of hope, an emblem of unity, and a rallying cry for those yearning for a brighter future.
But Naruto's journey was far from over.
Pain attack happened while he was away with the road on mount myoboku.
With the help on pa , ma and his best friend kurama. He defeated and made him understand the world , he disclosed himself as the write on "HUMAN" and "Origin". And Nagato revived the dead villagers.
After Pain attack and him getting recognised buy the villagers .
He decide to write something, something which will make people understand pain.
With the success of their second book, he approached the Kyubi once more, a glint of anticipation in his eyes. "Kyubi, there is one more story I want to tell—the story of you, the Nine-Tailed Fox, and how you came to be sealed within me. It's your biography, a tale of redemption and understanding. Will you grant me permission to write it?"
.
So he wrote.
4 months before the shinobi war he disclosed himself as author and writer of both life changing books.
And the last book he named "Pain"
