Hello there.
I know that i already have one Neptunia/Naruto fanfiction called Scarlet Heart, but i wanted to rewrite the fanfiction a little bit with a different plot twist.
Why is that you may ask ? I have noticed some... flaws in my story and i wanted to write a different version of the story to make it more sense.
Naruto will still become a CPU.
The pairing would be the same as the original story. Possibly making a harem.
Anyway let's nep this story.
I don't own Naruto and Hyperdimension Neptunia.

Chapter 1: A Hero's sacrifice
XxXxX
Konohagakure. The village hidden among the leaves and one of the Five Great Villages was attacked by a massive nine tailed fox causing a huge destruction in the village.
A lot of villagers and shinobi died during the fox's rampage.
Only one man was able to stand against the demon fox.
The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
However, one cannot truly kill a tailed beast no matter how hard one would try. Thus, the only way to defeat them is to seal them in order to keep them at bay.
Naruto Uzumaki, Minato's own son.
As Minato was about to seal the beast in Naruto, a female voice could be heard.
"So... this is it? You're turning our son into a Jinchuriki?" The female voice asked sadly as tears fell down her cheeks. "You should know how they'll treat our poor baby…"
With a heavy heart, Minato looked his wife in the eyes.
"I'm sorry… Kushina… but we have to believe in our son that he'd persevere…"
Kushina, the Red Death of Konoha and the wife of the Fourth Hokage, didn't say anymore words as she watched her husband calling upon the Shinigami and sealed half of the Kyubi inside him.
Minato then summoned an altar and had Kushina place baby Naruto on it, sleeping peacefully as nothing happened.
The Kyubi, however, realized what the blasted Hokage was about to do to him after sealing half of his power.
"I won't let you seal me again!"
One of the Biju's claws tried to kill Naruto until Kushina and Minato jumped in front of the altar, leaving their bodies pierced by the claw.
Kushina finally relented to Minato's wish to turn Naruto into a Jinchuriki before the Hokage summoned Gamatora, a toad specialized to hold any scroll-key within his body, he planned to have the toad went to Jiraiya but he rescinded his choice and told him to standby in the Summoning Realm until Naruto finally started to control the Kyubi's chakra.
"Gamatora, there's another thing… please… have Pa and Ma tell Histoire-kaa-san…that I won't make it…and I'm sorry…"
"...alright, I'll tell both Fukasaku-sama and Shima-sama… I'll be going now, Minato… goodbye…"
The toad disappeared soon after that, leaving Naruto, Kushina, Minato and the Kyubi.
There were the Third Hokage and several other Shinobi outside the seal watching them.
They wanted to help but they couldn't break through the barrier.
Not even a purple-haired girl who was the apprentice of Kushina herself.
Kushina and Minato then told Naruto their parting words before the Hokage finally sealed the Kyubi away inside the baby with a small bit of each of their chakra.
XxXxX
After the tragedy, a council meeting was called by the three Elders, Danzo, Koharu and Homura.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha, came late because he had to make sure Naruto was safe due to his status as the Jinchuriki.
"Third, where is the Fourth?" A man with a black pineapple hair asked.
Hiruzen let out a sad sigh.
"Minato died, sealing the Kyubi with the cost of his life by summoning the Shinigami."
The members of the council gasped at the news before one woman with a feral look and red colored marks on her cheeks opened her mouth.
"What about Kushina?" She asked, not wanting to mention the existence of their son since it was supposed to be a secret until Minato and Kushina revealed it themselves.
Hiruzen shook his head sadly.
Konoha had lost the Yellow Flash and Red Death, two of their most powerful Shinobi.
"Hiruzen." A ruff voice addressed the Hokage.
"What about the child you found near their bodies?" the man asked with a glint in his visible eye.
The members turned to the old Hokage with curious looks.
Minato and Kushina's friends from the Shinobi council clicked their tongues since this would be bad for the newborn baby.
"...whatever do you mean?"
"Do not play around, Hiruzen. I saw and heard a baby crying near the bodies of our Hokage and his wife."
The Third looked around and knowing he couldn't hide it anymore, he decided to tell them half the story, leaving the fact that Naruto was Minato and Kushina's son.
It'd be bad if Iwa and Kumo found out their rivals have a child.
That, however, backfired against him.
The civilian council member started to call Naruto the fox himself and demanded the baby's blood. This enraged the Hokage greatly and he had no choice but passing down a law that would forbid the older generations to speak a single word of the fox to the younger generations with a penalty of death.
The Shinobi side, meanwhile, was already trying to figure out how to protect the boy from the shadow in case this was leaked to the villagers.
Unbeknownst to them all, a single toad heard them all and decided to inform their elder back in the Summoning Realm.
XxXxX
Gamindustri. A fantastic, and peaceful continent that is separated into four nations watched and ruled by four goddesses that reside in the respective nations.
CPU Purple Heart, and the land of the Purple Progress, Planeptune.
CPU White Heart, and the Land of the White Serenity, Lowee.
CPU Black Heart, and the Land of the Black Regality, Lastation.
CPU Green Heart, and the Land of the Green Pasture, Leanbox.
Long time ago, the four goddesses fought each other in a war named the Console War. Eventually, the Goddesses put an end to the war, and they fought along with the CPU Candidate against the Deity of Sins Arfoire who wanted to bring destruction in Gamindustri.
One day, a boy appeared in Gamindustri and since that day, the boy was loved by the CPUs and their people.
The Oracle of Planeptune, Histoire, was about to check on Planeptune's CPU, Neptune, until a puff of smoke appeared in front of her.
"Oh," Histoire gasped when she saw Shima, one of the elders from the Toad Summon as Minato told her. "Shima-san, it has been a while." The Oracle greeted with a warm smile until she noticed the sad look on the toad's face and the bags under her eyes.
"Histoire-san… I bring you terrible news…" Shima began as she started to cry again.
The Oracle had a bad feeling about this and it was proven true.
Minato, the one she considered her own son, died in the Kyubi's attack.
"N-no… Minato-kun…" Histoire covered her mouth with her hands as she began to cry.
"That is not all, Histoire-san…" Shima croaked out. "Minato-chan has a tadpole…"
Histoire looked at the toad in surprise.
"Was it…Kushina-chan's?"
Shima nodded, but her face still looked saddened.
"One of ours…heard about something that the civilian council planned to do to Naruto-chan…"
"Naruto…." Histoire muttered the name.
"They…they wanted to kill the tadpole…just because he held the Kyubi inside him!"
"What!?" Histoire shrieked at the news. "But he's Minato-kun's son!"
Shima shook her head.
"Apparently, the Third Hokage didn't tell them about it since he didn't want Iwa and Kumo bringing wars into their front door… not only they just survived the Kyubi incident, they're low in manpower as well…"
Histoire gritted her teeth.
She had never been angry like this before.
"Shima-san." Histoire wiped her tears. "Let me handle this, we will take Naruto away from Konoha, safe from anyone who wants to harm him."
The toad looked at Histoire in gratitude before she returned to the Summoning Realm.
Histoire then called a meeting between all Goddesses.
She had to make sure they made it there before they did anything to Naruto.
XxXxX
"No... Please tell me this is a bad joke, Histy !" The purple haired girl said as tears were falling from her eyes.
-"I... I'm... so sorry... Neptune... Minato... sacrificed himself sealing that fox..." Histoire said. "Shima-san, one of the toad elders, herself came here earlier telling me about this…"
It was a great grief for the CPUs... especially for Neptune and Vert.
It was no secret that Neptune, and Minato were closer friends then she was with Noire and the other CPUs.
As for Vert... she cried as she just lost a dear adoptive brother of hers. You see, Minato, who was an orphan, became Vert's adopted little brother with the blessing of Histoire after Vert found him alone surrounded by dangerous monsters.
Since then, he became a part of the family.
Blanc was especially pissed and in grief for losing a great friend who didn't make fun of her for her lack of chest.
As for Noire, she didn't say anything but her friends knew she was grieving inside.
The Candidates were deeply saddened by the death of Minato and wished they could do something about that. Even the CPUs wished there were other solutions.
"And… there's one more important thing I have to tell you girls and this is related to Minato-kun."
The CPUs perked up before looking at Histoire intensely.
"Minato-kun was a father, he had a son with Kushina-chan."
The girls gasped at the news.
Noire was the first one to ask about the baby until Histoire calmed the ravenette down.
Vert too was excited to know about her nephew.
"There's more..." Histoire started as she kept her anger in check. "Shima-san told me about their newborn baby and the news isn't good... Not good at all..." Histoire said barely containing her anger this time.
Histoire inhaled before her eyes turned sharp.
"They wanted to kill Naruto-kun for being the Kyubi's jailor."
XxXxX
"SAY WHAT?!" Blanc suddenly yelled, smashing the table in two.
Neptune and Noire were horrified by the news.
Vert barely could contain her anger... no... her RAGE toward those civilians.
"HOW DARE THEY! I'LL CRUSH THEIR FUCKING VILLAGE! MINATO SAVED THIS UNGRATEFUL VILLAGE AND THIS IS HOW THEY REPAY HIM?!" Blanc roared in rage with so much hatred. Her face was shadowed, and only a red glowing eye was visible as her teeths were also visible.
"T-this is just... horrible!" Noire said with a huge amount of disgust.
"What in the world is the Hokage doing?!" Neptune asked, enraged by the news.
"Shima-san told me that the Hokage had enforced a new rule with the penalty of Death if they dared to speak about Naruto-kun's status… but knowing how the civilian act, I'm afraid that his status will be revealed to the whole village and soon everyone will demand for his blood." Histoire sighed sadly before continuing. "And even if they don't kill him I'm afraid they'll torture Naruto-kun to near death…"
Vert then destroyed her own chair with her spear, surprising everyone, even the so enraged Blanc.
"Vert... ?!" Noire gasped nervously as she never saw the CPU of Leanbox acting like this.
"How dare... HOW DARE THEY EVEN THINK OF THAT?!" Vert screamed, surprising everyone even more. They never saw Vert so mad before even after the cruelty Arfoire did in the past against them.
"My brother... MY BROTHER DIED SO HE COULD SAVE HIS VILLAGE AND HIS SON AND NOW THEY... THEY... !" Vert yelled as tears were visible from her shadowed face. She was so disgusted and ashamed of Minato's village of what it had become.
"I'm taking him away…" Blanc muttered, earning the other CPUs attention. "I WILL TAKE NARUTO OUT FROM THAT SHITTY HELL HOLE AND DON'T TRY TO STOP ME!" Blanc said as she transformed into her HDD (Hard Drive Divinity) Form and flew away at high speed.
Nobody stopped her since they knew better.
Naruto was not safe in Konoha.
"I'll follow Blanc to make sure she doesn't overdo it, we'll be back as soon as possible." Neptune said with a huge amount of disgust toward the village before she too accessed her HDD form.
The others seemed to agree with her knowing that Blanc would definitively destroy the village.
That alone, Konoha would see this as a declaration of war from Gamindustri.
While they were confident that they could easily win it, they were tired of war.
With that said, Purple Heart left her Basilicom.
XxXxX
In Konoha, the situation had gotten worse an hour after the meeting.
Someone from the council leaked the information regarding Naruto's status to the entire village and since then, the entire village called for the baby's blood.
He had a guess who did it but without proof, he couldn't apprehend them.
He wanted to take Naruto as his own grandson, but due to the current situation, it might worsen his position since his old friend, the warhawk, Danzo, would use this chance to take his spot as the Hokage and he couldn't let that happen.
Then an idea came up in Hiruzen's mind. He remembered the talk he had with Minato one day about a continent named Gamindustri. If he could send his most trusted ninja to deliver Naruto to Gamindustri for the child's safety, that would be easier for him to deal with the villagers and the council.
However the continent was very far away in the outer sea which made things rather difficult.
It would take almost half a year to reach it not to mention the dangers lurking in the ocean.
But what choices did he have anyway ?
With a sigh, as he was about to call his Shinobi, an ANBU suddenly appeared bowing to his Hokage.
"Lord Hokage. We have a problem at the gate" The ANBU said.
"Thank you Neko. Foll-" He was about to order when suddenly the gatekeepers suddenly crashed on his office from the window, surprising both of them.
Then he felt an insane amount of KI directed in his direction.
He turned to see who unleashed such KI and what he saw was a floating blue haired girl with red eyes with strange symbols in her eyes.
The said girl was downright pissed and he knew he had to approach carefully.
"Who are you? And what is the purpose of your visit?" He asked.
"Save it old man!" The girl growled. "Where is he?!" She demanded as her anger grew more and more.
"Who?" Hiruzen started to ask but was interrupted.
"WHERE IS MINATO'S CHILD DAMN IT!" She roared in anger as Hiruzen flinched by the pressure she exerted. "I KNOW WHAT THIS FUCKING VILLAGE WANTS TO DO WITH THE CHILD!" She finished with a glare.
"H-he's asleep here." He pointed to the baby who wasn't bothered by her scream at all.
The girl said nothing as she approached the baby.
She took Naruto in her arms causing the baby to wake up,
He started to giggle when he saw the girl, which made the girl calm down a little before she turned toward Hiruzen with a serious glare.
"You're so damn lucky that Naruto-kun is unharmed, old man." She growled.
"Wait, who are you and what do you want with the baby ?"
"I'm White Heart, the Goddess who ruled Lowee of Gamindustri." She said coldly as Hiruzen blanched when hearing her name.
White Heart, the most violent Goddess among the others.
From what Minato told him, she was quick to anger and if she was enraged, consider yourself dead as calming her down without destroying anything was quite hard and almost impossible.
If you survived however, consider yourself lucky.
She reminded him too much of a younger and violent version of Kushina and deadlier.
"As for why I'm here, that should be obvious! I'm taking him away from here to Gamindustri." She said, surprising Hiruzen.
"I see... So Gamindustri knew…" Hiruzen let out a small chuckle. "I was about to call my most trusted Shinobi to take him to Gamindustri for his own safety, but I didn't know you would come for the same reason." He finished before he heard a new female voice joining their conversation.
"What your village planned to do with the child is far more disgusting than anything we've ever heard." The voice said as the Hokage saw the purple haired girl with the same eyes as White Heart but in different colors.
"Why are you here, Purple Heart?" She growled.
"Easy there, I have to make sure you don't end up destroying the village in your rampage." Purple Heart said as Hiruzen and the ANBU paled even more at those words. "That and I want to see this little cute baby~" she said as she took a closer look at the baby. The baby made giggling noises as Purple Heart smiled at such cuteness.
She wondered if she and Nepgear could raise him, and make him eat the food of the goddesses named Pudding.
White Heart sweatdropped as she saw the look on Purple Heart's face.
She knew what the woman was up to.
"I'll take him to Lowee. And before you protest, no, I won't let you take and influence him with your laziness, Neptune." She growled at Purple Heart who sweatdropped.
Before Purple Heart could say anything, White Heart was already gone with the baby.
She let out a sigh before glaring at Hiruzen.
"You're lucky to be alive today. But don't think you and this village will be forgiven. Minato-kun had only one wish, and your village spat on it." Purple Heart finished coldly before she too flew away.
That day was the first time the entire village saw the Goddesses flying away with a baby in their hands.
Little did they know, the village would pay the price for their mistake years later.
XxXxX
And end !
I didn't had much inspirations on this chapter.
For Minato being Vert's brother, i thought it would be a good idea for the story since Vert is the only CPU who didn't had a brother at all.
The chapter isn't perfect, but i guess it is better then the original story of mine.
Now then... We both know that Blanc is taking Naruto to Lowee but in which nation Naruto will eventually live until he become a CPU himself ?
-Planeptune
-Lastation
-Leanbox
-Lowee
Also i was thinking that, half of the story would take place between Mk2/Re birth2, and Victory/Re Birth3.
Anyway i hope you enjoyed this story, because i won't be back for a whole week since i have to go somewhere with my familiy. So if anyone wish to write the next chapter for me, that would greatly help me.
Have a nice day.
