I dont Own Naruto Masashi Kishimoto does or Jujutsu Kaisen Gege Akutami does. This is my first fanfic please let me know how I can improve. I also apologize for any grammar and spelling errors I left my computer at home while at on vacation I need to proofread all this myself.

Naruto stood there his head angled downward. He was frozen gazing upon the motionless form of the only person who had ever cared for him. She lay, face down, on the dirt ground of the only playground in the red light district. Her long, messy, dark brown hair shadowing her face. The handle of a kunai protruding from the back of her head as blood began to pool from the puncture wound, engulfing her prone figure. As the bottom of her blue dress began to turn red Naruto wanted to scream, to move to her, to do anything, but his body refused his commands as he remained there seemingly entranced and mortified at the same time.

Naruto's mind began racing to catch up with reality. What's going on? Is this real? This; this can't be real right? Naruto wanted to deny what he was seeing. To fabricate any reason that what he was seeing wasn't reality, but he couldn't.

One second she was standing before him smiling the next she lay face down with a kunia in the back of her head. Naruto felt his throat constrict and his chest tighten. Suddenly it was hard to breathe as though there wasn't enough oxygen in the air. His breathing became erratic. All Naruto could hear was a distant ringing in his ears as the smell of iron invaded his nostril and his eyes began to burn and sting.

Time seemed to slow and seconds felt like hours to Naruto until he was brought out of his trance by a masculine, monotone voice, devoid of emotion," Naruto Namikaze "

Naruto didn't acknowledge whoever had called his name. His head remained down, red hair shadowing his face. His eyes remained glued to her as he collapsed onto his knees. Tears began streaming down the sides of his face as Naruto's eyes continued to burn. He had a million different thoughts flowing through his head as he unconsciously clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. As footsteps drew closer so did the shadow of whoever had said his name. The shadow of whoever had killed her. The shadow that covered him in darkness. The shadow illuminated by the January sun set that he and her had come to see.

The sound of footsteps came to a stop and the shadow once creeping towards him ceased moving. The person began to speak again his voice much clearer now as the man stood not 3 ft in front of him,"Naruto Namikaze" he began.

Naruto didn't look up. He felt his heart rate increasing rapidly and with each word the person spoke he felt his anger spike, he felt his eyes burn up, he felt it click into place. The person continued in that same monotone voice, "It seems you now understand a sliver of my pain. The pain your father caused my people."

Naruto had yet to react externally. However, internally Naruto was reeling. Emotions such as anguish and despair washed over him one after another. Yet in that moment one emotion stood out above all others, growing exponentially by the millisecond. Rage. Naruto's rage was like an inferno. It was all encompassing and would incinerate all within its path. Naruto reached out. He reached for the feeling he had always had within him. Not the feeling of light but, that of dark. He didn't care anymore. He wanted nothing more than to see the man before him dead and he wouldn't be denied.

Suddenly one thought took over Naruto's head silencing all others. KILL! KILL! KILL!

Unknown to both the man and Naruto various black markings appeared upon Naruto's skin

The man took a brief pause before continuing,"Your father took the ones who mattered most from me as I have now taken from you. Me and you are the sa…"

"Cleave." Naruto snarled through gritted teeth.

The man was barely able to register Naruto's words as he felt a sharp pain in his gut. He looked down to find himself split in two horizontally. Before all went black.

The man's body collapsed upon the ground spraying blood upon Naruto and the dead girls corpse. Naruto still had yet to move as the blood of the man mixed with hers tainting it and expanding the puddle of red which now engulfed and stained Naruto's black pants.

Naruto remained there in silence for what seemed like an eternity. He sat there drowning in a sea of grief, loneliness, and sorrow. He and her had been the same. Both alone, both with no one, both abandoned. Until they had each other, but now she was gone. He was alone again.

I'm all alone. Was the thought repeating inside Naruto's head. It put him in a trance like state as it repeated over and over again each time growing louder and louder. His eyes burning in sink with it.

I'm all alone. I'm All Alone. I'M ALL ALONE.

Naruto thought that he was going to black out at any minute until another voice rang through his head. Said voice penetrated his grief, and despair. Pulling him from the sea of thoughts he was drowning in. The voice was calm, inviting, friendly; it was everything Naruto needed.

"Naruto you need to go now there are people approaching." Said the voice.

Naruto didn't know why but he was compelled. However, before he did he removed the Kunia from her head and turned her face up. With tears still streaming down his face Naruto could only mumble a silent prayer for her as he closed her eyes. He then took off towards his home.

"Goodbye Rika" was the last words he said.

10 minutes later.

Naruto had made it to his run down apartment without anyone seeing him as fast as an 8 year old could. Climbing in through the window Naruto made his way to the shower. He was used to taking the back alleyways and climbing in through his window. He had long ago boarded up his door to avoid the constant ransacking of his home. Ever since leaving the park Naruto had turned off his emotions, a skill he learned from when the villagers would beat him. Upon entering the shower Naruto removed his clothes. A black pair of pants and hoodie both tinted blue with the hood and cuff being red. His pants stained red from the pool of blood which had gathered below him back at the park. Naruto turned on the ice cold water of the shower and stepped in.

Naruto's apartment was nothing special. If anything it was the embodiment of bland. The bare minimum necessitates and furniture. A kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom. The apartment itself was as clean as possible through cracks and graffiti courtesy of the villagers littered the walls and floor.

Naruto knew why he was hated. He housed the soul of the kyubii no yoko and because of that people viewed him as the fox itself. Also the yondamie hokage hadn't tried to defend him at all despite him being his son. Instead he had disowned him further justifying in the minds of the villagers their treatment of Naruto.

15 minutes later

Naruto is an 8 year old kid. He stands at 140 cm which is tall for his age with red hair which is cut into a taper fade. He has blue cerulean eyes and 3 whisker marks on each cheek. Naruto also has 2 birthmarks cut in a 120 degree angle behind the corner of each of his eyes.

Naruto, now changed into a pair of pajamas, collapsed onto his bed. He had yet to show any emotions since leaving the park. However, he was emotionally drained and resorted to just going to sleep. He would deal with everything in the morning.

Morning (Naruto's Apartment 8:00 AM)

As Naruto awoke the memories of what had happened the previous night came flooding back to him. He had lost the only person who didn't see him as the fox. He had lost his only friend. He had lost the only person he cared about. However, Naruto didn't cry. After all, crying would do nothing but waste his energy. This was another lesson Naruto had learned from the beatings. Instead of crying, Naruto would push forwards like he always did. This time though he would push forward like he never had before because he had made Rika a promise before she had died.

Flashback (10 minutes before Rika's death)

Naruto and Rika were at their favorite hang out spot in the park as Naruto pushed Rika back and forth on a swing. Her brown hair flowing with the wind both smiling due to the fun they were having.

Although the equipment wasn't new by any means and the park itself was quite run down both of them loved it. They loved it because it was their place. Because it was isolated and they wouldn't be bothered.

"Naruto It's time to watch the sunset." The cheery voice of Rika.

"Ok Rika." Came the response of Naruto as he stopped pushing her and Rika gradually came to stop.

"Oh, Naruto I almost forgot." Rika called her voice as gentle as a summer's breeze. Before altogether getting of the swing

"huh?" Was Naruto's intelligent reply. As he turned around to be greeted by Rika's smiling face. He couldn't help but blush a little.

"I got you a gift." She said with a fond smile on her face and a light dusting of pink tinting her cheeks.

She pulled a black box out of her dress pocket and offered it to Naruto. Naruto took it in both hands as he didn't say or do anything and just stared at it for a moment. This was the first gift he had ever gotten. He was overwhelmed with joy as his eyes slightly watered before giving way to a megawatt smile.

"Thank you.!" He exclaimed not bothering to try and hide his overwhelming happiness. Causing Rika to giggle a little.

"C- can I open it?" Naruto asked hesitantly.

Rika only smiled back at him,"Of course Naruto."

With the go ahead Naruto didn't waste any time. As he opened the small lid of the box it revealed a silver ring with a single shiny diamond that seemed to be positioned on the ring's perfect center. Naruto couldn't help but let out a quite surprised gasp. As he lifted the ring up to his eyes, inspecting it in the sunlight.

"It's a ring.?" He stated though it came off as a question as he continued to inspect the ring being held up to his eyes by his thumb and index finger.

Rika giggled once again,"It's an engagement ring."

She stated as she reached up and intertwined her pinky with Naruto's. The red heads gaze shifting to meet hers. Cerulean eyes meeting chocolate brown as both now adorned blushes.

However Rika continued unperturbed," It's a promise that when we grow up we're going to get married to each other."

At this a feeling certainly washed over the two as both adorned matching smiles.

As Naruto slowly put the ring on, Rika once again spoke,"Naruto promised me that no matter what happens we'll change this world. We'll make it so that no one has to live like us again." Rika said her tone was still as sweet as ever though holding no small amount of underlying determination.

Naruto looked back up meeting Rika's gaze,"I promise and I will never go back on my word." He stated with equal determination resolve burning in his eyes as the two made for the a bench where they would have the best view of the sunset.

Flashback End

Naruto worked in silence as he systematically got ready for the day. He, like everyone, had a morning routine and performed it like it was muscle memory. He started by showering and brushing his teeth. Then, he got dressed in a new pair of clothes identical to the ones he wore last night. Before moving to make himself breakfast.

After finishing his breakfast Naruto rummaged through his kitchen junk drawer before finding what he was looking for: a notebook and a pencil. He had things to do today and he wanted to make a list so he wouldn't have time to procrastinate and think about her. It was simply too painful too. As he began to write papers quickly filled with the following.

1. Go pickpocket low on funds

2. Try and make contact with the voice that reached out to him

3. Figure out where Rika will be buried

4. Set up a new training regiment

Naruto knew it wasn't much but he knew it would keep him busy for the day as he set off.

5 Hours Later (12:30 PM)

Naruto sat down lazily in a back ally on some old wooden crates, his back propped up against a wooden wall checklist and pencil out as he crossed off the first item on the list. Naruto had finished his pick pocketing successfully avoiding the Uchiha Police force and racking in a good hall. He had been saving up for a while to last him through the coming years as he soon wouldn't have a lot of free time as he would enter the academy in a couple months. Naruto decided to make his way back home to stash his money.

Upon reaching his home Naruto climbed in through the window as always before removing the floorboards beneath his bed and stashing his money. With the money he got from pick pocketing coupled with his givin allowance Naruto would be able to last for a very long while despite shop keepers over charging him.

Naruto then made his way into his kitchen. Plopping down on one of two chairs he had at his kitchen table; Naruto proceeded to lay out his notebook and pencil before him as he began to think of how to make contact with the voice he heard.

Hmmmm why don't I just try asking.It seems like a good place to start. Thought the red head.

Hello? He called out in his thought only to receive no answer.

Ok so that was a fail. Thought Naruto. Before an idea came to him.

He stood up from the table and made his way back to his secret stash once again removing the boards only this time instead of pulling out his stash of money he pulled out various books. Even though the library banned him, Naruto still got books through Rika who would allow Naruto to "borrow them" from time to time. Naruto began meticulously going through each and every book until he came across the one he was looking for. It was a medical book on the human brain. Naruto then stashed all his other books back up before making his way back to his kitchen table where he once again took a seat.

Naruto flipped open his book and began skimming back through it until he came up with his next idea. Meditation.

Naruto once again stood up from his chair and stashed away his book before returning to his living room. Where he proceeded to sit down in the middle of the carpet and assume lotus position as the book instructed. Naruto then leveled out his breathing and began to work to clear his mind of thought though that in particular was proving to be his biggest challenge. Naruto always had a lot on his mind now more than ever. He had to deal with Rika's death, the fact he has voices in his head, his parents abandoning him in favor of his siblings, the villagers, ect. However, Naruto always came through. He was always driven by a purpose. He channeled his emotion under control and pushed away all thoughts. It took him 5 hours however he opened his mind to find himself seated in lotus position in a giant sewer.

So I take it this is my mind scape. Thought Naruto dryly. He was disappointed that his mind scape was a sewer though if it was based on his mental trauma he couldn't call himself surprised. As Naruto stood up he vaguely noted the fact he didn't sink beneath the water before he felt a metal pull of sorts. It was as if someone was calling him and he decided to follow. Naruto walked for about 10 minutes before reaching an intersection where he then turned upon a chamber which revealed a colossal cage. As Naruto entered the chamber he was able to see beyond the gate and into the cell. What he saw left him in shock.

The cell was nothing and Naruto couldn't tell where the cell ended as all he could see was a blackish gray background with spots of white seemingly painted onto reality at random with a blue vortex which matched the color of his eyes in the background. Whilst seemingly standing on nothing was a colossal ribcage and a mountain of animal skulls which seemed to stand atop red liquid most likely blood. Naruto was left speechless. He had never seen anything like it and even more shocking was the one person standing in front of the vortex and the other standing atop the motion of animal skulls.

"So you have finally decided to visit us idiot." Spoke the man on the throne of skulls.

Naruto couldn't help but note the similarities between himself and the man. Both with spiked red hair and similar facial structure. The major difference however was the man's tattoos and red eyes.

"We've been looking forward to meeting Naruto." Spoke the seconds figure. Naruto recognized his voice. It was the one he heard in his head before.

This man also had similarities with him. They both had the same eye color and nose shape. However the major differences between himself and this man was this man's white hair and face shape.

Who are these guys? Naruto thought and like reading his thoughts the first man spoke,"I'm Ryomen Sukuna, The Disgraced One."

Before Naruto could respond the other spoke up," I'm Satoru Gojo, The Honored One"

Both figures then waited for Naruto to respond,"I'm Naruto but it seems you both already know that." To this both nodded.

Naruto then continued," Did you both help me when that incident with Rika happened."

"Yes" they both responded in tandem.

"Why?!" Came the hasty reply of Naruto. He was confused as to why they would help him. The only one who ever helped him was Rika.

The white haired one spoke,"Because Naruto you are our reincarnation."

At this point Naruto's eyes bugged out of his sockets.

"What do you mean I'm your guy's reincarnation!" Naruto hollers in disbelief.

"Allow me to tell you a story brat." Said the voice of the man with tattoos.

Naruto decided to hear them out and nodded, giving him the signal to begin his story.

"It all started with the sage of six paths. The founder of ninshu the shinobi way and the first man to ever wield chakra, a god on earth. He went on to have four sons. The oldest was Indra; he believed only through a strong leader could the world be united under ninshu. He founded the Uchiha clan and was the first to ever awaken the sharingan and he inherited a version of the sage's eyes. Then there was the second born Ashura who would go on to found the Senju clan and he inherited the sage's body. He believed that peace could only be achieved through working together. Then there was us. I was the third born and would go on to found the Uzumaki Clan. I inherited a shinjitsu, a godly technique known as cleave and dismantle, as well as a shinjitsu known as the 10 shadows technique. I believed the world needed to be destroyed and born anew. However, I was proven wrong and now I believe in letting my reincarnation solve the world there way." The tattooed man would have continued but he was cut off by the white haired man.

"Then there was me, the strongest of all the siblings and youngest too." This caused the red haired man to grow a tick mark but he nonetheless allowed the white haired man to continue on.

"I also inherited two shinjitsu. The first was a technique called limitless, the second was a doujutsu called the six eyes. I believed in helping others to foster growth and bring about peace through ninshu. Me and Sukuna had a fight and I won and that's why he's changed his view."

Naruto took all this in as best as he could follow and although he grasped the basics he was still incredibly lost. What he did understand was that these guys were nearly incomprehensibly strong and that they fought and that the white haired guy won and that he is their vessel somehow.

"So what do you both want with me then?" Naruto asked more hesitant after finding out who they are.

It was the white haired man who answered him,"We want to train you to use our powers. We have deemed you worthy of being our first vessel. That is if you'll allow us to."

Out of all the things Naruto thought they wanted this was not it. He then realized the man had given him the choice. Naruto then thought back to Rika to his promise. No matter what. That's what he promised and that's what he'd do.

"Alright" Naruto began.

"I agree, if you're willing to teach me then I'm willing to learn." At this the white haired man smiled, whilst the tattooed man let out a bloodthirsty grin that sent shivers up Naruto's spine.

"Alright kid. Just one thing kid, in order to have mental contact with you we need to remove the paper covering the seal. That way we'll be able to talk with you telepathically."

Naruto pondered the request. The worst case scenario is that this was all a ruse by the fox and I let its conciseness out. Best case scenario I get trained by gods in god level techniques. No matter how advanced Naruto was for his age in Naruto's 8 year old mind the answer was clear.

And with that the tag was gone.
