Authors notes:
No Naruto will not remember his life as Gojo at least not fully.
He will have Both the six eyes and limitless and be somewhat OP later on but can easily be outwitted early on as he lacks experience and wisdom along with enemies taking advantage of the ego he later develops, so it won't be Naruto overpowering everyone at the start and he has to learn chakra control still and relearn cursed techniques as well however the six eyes make learning cursed techniques easier. Naruto will also dabble in fuinjutsu as I do have a love for the concept and with it being what made his clan famous he should at least be semi-proficient in it I also hate how Naruto only did two Justus in the whole series and adding cursed technique no matter how busted still makes him predictable.
Pairing Naruto x Hinata, others tbd (and Absolutely no Harems don't ask)

Ill try to be consistent and make this a decently lengthy read, but be warned I am a recent College graduate and started working in my field of study, so I am still getting the hang of this thing called adulting XD
Also, My writing style and is inspired by the fanfic legacy by cr4zpt which motivated me to write this story and if you haven't already I highly recommend you give it a read.
Without further ado let's get into the story.
Chapter 1- Reborn into chaos
"You did well, I will always remember you" said Sukuna as Satoru Gojo laid bisected in front of him showing respect and gratefulness to the man who gave him the challenge he so desired.
## In the after life##
"Long time no see" said Geto, Gojo's former best friend as he walked to the confused form of Satoru Gojo with a smile on his face happy to see his friend once again in the afterlife.
Gojo looked startled for a moment and then he observed the form of Geto who appearance was in the form of when they were teenagers. "Mannnnnn this sucks!" said Satoru Gojo as it dawned on him that he was defeated and his soul was beginning its journey to the afterlife if he was seeing Geto of all people. After further analysis he realized all of his former comrades were present and a begrudging smile crawled its way out.
Gojo reminisced with souls of the ones he called dear, he thought of everything his experiences, his battles, but what he thought of most were his students. He contemplated using all the Reversed Cursed energy at his disposal to attempt to revive himself to further assist his students however, he chose not to as Gojo was a man with no regrets, and he believed in entrusting the next generation to do finish the job that they failed. Gojo gave one last smile to all his loved ones as their souls began their own journey to whatever lie ahead, and as Gojo remained the last one remaining Gojo felt a tug pull him into a light and as he got closer, he embraced its warmth and then everything went dark.
## unknown Location- outside Konoha ##
Screams filled the room coupled with the pain groans of women with crimson red hair and emerald eyes lie in labor Giving birth so her child this woman was Kushina Uzumaki Konoha's red death. Beside her providing support and holding the seal in place that kept the kyuubi at bay was a man with Spikey golden blonde hair and blue eyes This man was Minato Namikaze the 4th hokage Also known as Konoha's yellow flash.
"MINATO I PROMISE I WILL KILL YOU FOR DOING THIS TO ME!" shouted Kushina as she laid in pain, Minato flinched at the threat knowing all to well the wrath his wife contained not even the kyuubi tested her patience. "your almost there dear just a bit longer" said Biwako the wife of the 3rd hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
After a few more labored pushes a new scream entered the room and that scream belonged to a baby with pale blond hair and sky blue eyes, and these eyes held such majesty that all in the room felt their breathes catch in their throat. Even the Kyuubi halted its struggle inside as it sensed something… a power and a power that is harnessed in a way similar to his own "So there is another who can draw power from hatred…". (his hair is pale blond due to mix of his own hair color now and when he was Gojo)
After everyone regained their composure Biwako congratulated Minato and Kushina and prepared to clean the child and wrap it in a blanket. While that was being done Minato went to comfort his wife and as they celebrated becoming parents to the baby boy whom they named Naruto. "Kushina I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am to you, thank you for giving me the greatest gift a man can be given" said minato as tears filled his eyes. Kushina with tear filled eyes of her own kissed her husband feeling nothing but pure elation. As they left each other's embrace Minato began to head towards the seal to once again tighten it preventing the kyuubi from escaping, and as he said this a chill filled the room.
"Step away from the jinchuriki yellow flash" said a man with long jet black hair, a linked chain with braces on both arms, and a yellow mask with one hole on the rights side and behind that hole illuminated an eye feared by all… the sharingan.
Minato and Kushina turned startled by the arrival of the mysterious stranger, and what they saw put their minds in utter panic. The man was holding Naruto with a kunai aimed for his throat with Biwako and the nurse laying dead at his feet.
Minato quickly regaining his composure spoke "before you do anything you will regret let's talk what do you want and please do not harm our son."
"I couldn't even sense his arrival who is this man and how did he even know of this location" Minato thought his mind moving as fast as his signature justu the hiraishin to try and think of a way to protect his family while also analyzing the man to apprehend him or kill if necessary.
"What I want is the beast within your wife now hand her over before I end your child's life before he can even truly experience it." Said the masked man
"NARUTOOO!" screamed Kushina horrified by the events unfolding before her. While this was happening the child in distress over the chaotic situation unfolding did something that somewhat shocked the masked man there was a pressure around the child it felt as if gravity was tightening around his harm slightly.
"This child couldn't possibly use their chakra yet what was that feeling" thought the masked man as he was in thought the child's eyes opened and what he saw gave the same awe inspiring feeling one would have if they gazed into the eyes of the rinnegan. "If this child lives through this situation he will be one to watch I can feel it."
The masked man soon pushed his inner monologue aside and returned his attention to the task at hand. "now yellow flash show me how fast you truly are" and with that the masked man threw Naruto into the air with explosive tags attached to the blanket.
Minato quickly flashed over to the child removed the blanket and hiraishined out to with Naruto to their safehouse in the outskirts of the village. Minato quickly set Naruto down in a crib and put on his war attire.
"I'm sorry Naruto, this is not how you should have been brought into this world but now I need to save your mother" Minato said has he flashed away in a yellow flash.
##Konoha##
It was a peaceful night in the village however all shinobi had some nervousness to them as if they felt something was bad was going to happen.
## meanwhile outside Konoha##
Screaming could be heard as The masked man had Kushina chained as he extracted the tailed beast from her and when he was done the Kyuubi was brought before the mortal world once more.
"Now Kyuubi time for you to for you to do some damage… Sharingan! said the masked man as he placed the kyuubi under a genjustu. And they both disappeared in a swirl, and shortly after Minato arrived and flashed both of them back to the safe house.
When they returned Minato set Kushina down beside Naruto and Kushina weakly embraced her child. Minato looked sadly upon the depressing sight as the loss of her Bijuu will soon kill her as no jinchuriki can survive them being extracted. "I will return, please hold on I have a village to save" as once more he left in a yellow flash.
#Konoha#
"Now kyuubi burn this village to the Ground Summoning Justu!" and with that the Kyuubi was summoned in the middle of the village and all hell broke loose.
"Lord third the kyuubi is free and causing mass casualties of civilian and shinobi alike!" a distressed shinobi said to an old man equipping himself in war attire, said man was Hiruzen sarutobi. A man radiated wisdom and power and was awarded the title the second god of shinobe by comrades and foe alike for his mastery of all 5 elements.
"I am aware gather all chunin and above and inform them to rendezvous at the kyuubi's location. We need to drive it out of the village before it kills more civilians." Hiruzen commanded, "How did the kyuubi break free… Minato where are you?" Thought the aged hokage concern evident for both his successor and both their wives.
##Konoha Forest##
A battle was ongoing and said battle was between Minato and the masked man who claimed himself to be Madara. Going by the legends Minato couldn't refute the man's claims if he were to go off of the power and sharingan the man possessed. The battle continued until Minato using his tactical mind that made him the world renown genius he was used a perfectly timed hiraishin to teleport just above the man before he could use his intangibility ability slammed a rasengan in to the mans back losing his control over the kyuubi forcing him to retreat.
##back in Konoha##
The loss in life caused by the kyuubi was insurmountable and while the 3rd hokage using his adamantite staff was able to drive the kyuubi back to the village gate. Shortly after the sharingan present in the kyuubi's eyes disappeared showing it was released from whatever genjustu it was under was no longer in effect. The Kyuubi realizing it was now free attempted to escape and noticing it was being chased released a tailed beast bomb hoping to not only eradicate his pursuers but the village that held him captive for so long.
Before the tailed beast bomb struck the 4th hokage arrived and used his hiraishin justu to transport the attack away to a safe location. Shortly after Minato summoned a Large toad slightly smaller than the Kyuubi to fall on the beast to immobilize it long enough to transport the demonic fox and himself to a location some distance away from the village.
##Konoha forest##
"I'm sorry Kushina, I do not wish to do this to our child but it is the only way to protect the Village and maintain stability. If the other villages were to believe we lost the power of the kyuubi another great shinobi war would begin as other nations would capitalize on the power vacuum. The best I can do to help our son manage this immense power is by sealing half of the kyuubi within myself bringing it with me to the Shinigami's realm, and the other half in him which will allow his chakra coils to have an easier time adapting" Minato explained.
"I know… I just wish there was another way how could we condemn our own son to that kind of life. No one knows better than me the kind of pain that comes with such a fate and we won't even be there to support him" Kushina stated in a pained voice while using her chakra chains to restrain the Kyuubi as Minato prepared the sealing ritual.
Thus the yin half of the beast was sealed into Minato, the Kyuubi in realization of what the couple was planning panicked. "they plan to seal the rest of me within their child, I am interested in the power that boy contains and Kushina was one of the few who treated me with some form of dignity… However, I will not lose my freedom again. I am sorry child and I am truly sorry to you Kushina". With that kyuubi attempted to strike at the child preventing his imprisonment however before he could do so the parents in a desperate attempt to protect their child both leaped in the path of the claw skewering them straight through their chest.
Minato and Kushina coming to terms with their fate said their goodbyes to Naruto. "Naruto… we wish things we didn't have to be this way, but we know if anyone can overcome these odds it will be you we could feel the moment you were born just how special you are and the pain knowing we won't be their to see you become who you are meant to be is unbearable. Please be a good person and make lots of friends, we love you and always will no matter what" said Kushina.
"Exactly as your mother said you are destined for greatness, and we will always watch over you" Minato simply stated.
With that Minato completed the sealing ritual for the Kyuubi with Naruto being its container. Thus Kushina died and Minato was not long for this world either. Soon however the 3rd hokage arrived witnessing the events that unfolded.
"Minato!" Hiruzen screamed.
"Lord 3rd… please watch over our son, he is the new vessel of the kyuubi" Minato weakly asked.
"You have my word" Hiruzen promised, and with that the 4th hokage had departed from the land of the living. Hiruzen then made his way to the child followed by his anbu and what he felt from the child startled them. Negative emotions that seemed to radiate from the child on an oppressive level and eyes that were an unnatural blue that seemed to add to that power. They assumed this to be the effects of the kyuubi and Hiruzen wrapped the child and proceeded to make his way back to the village as they prepared to make plans on how to overcome these trying times.
##Naruto's mindscape##
"Where…am I" the kyuubi wondered. After further observation he realized he had been sealed once more and he frowned in frustration, but before he could wallow in anger, he was able to sense the secondary source of power the boy held.
"Wait! This kind of power I felt it, even if it was on a less oppressive level than this child's I know it. Yes, this power is similar to Asura's second wife after his first had passed. The one who claimed to not be of this world and the mother of his Uzumaki descendants… Sachie Gojo."
