001: A Saga Begins with a Maiden
The fiery molten landscape, the normally ash filled skies were surprisingly empty and from one of the tallest peaks of the mountain range that overlooked the molten sea, sat a figure.
The figure had blonde hair, illuminated by a crown of flame sitting just below his blonde mane.
His blonde hair seemed to catch the flickering glow of the molten light, enhanced by the crown of flame that blazed just beneath his golden mane, as though it were a natural part of him. His youthful face was serene, but his ocean-blue eyes roamed the valley below with a watchful intensity. This was his father's realm—a kingdom forged in fire and ash, as merciless as it was magnificent.
he stillness shattered when a deafening boom of thunder rolled through the skies, reverberating off the mountains and shaking the ground beneath him.
'Thunder?' The thought flashed through his mind, quick as lightning, as he rose smoothly to his feet. His gaze flicked upward, searching the heavens for answers. 'A volcano?' It was his first instinct, the realm's volcanic eruptions often as sudden as they were violent. But then, he heard it a deep, resonant horn echoing across the mountains, cutting through the thunder like a blade.
'No an invasion.'
Suddenly his skin began to tingle as cosmic energies poured from the skies.
The sky was set alight by an influx of colours from all over the spectrum, 'Definitely not a volcano.' The blonde thought as he rolled his shoulders and stretched, his body language a mix of preparation and predatory grace. With a deep breath, he leapt from his rocky perch, wings unfurling with a sound like cracking embers. As he descended, black feathers scattered in his wake, momentarily suspended in the updrafts before vanishing into the molten glow below.
Naruto Uzumaki felt death slowly creep up on him as he laid down in the Valley of the End a bloody stump of an arm continuously bleeding out.
Sasuke his supposed best friend had seemingly stopped breathing two minutes ago and Naruto could feel his body slowly shut down.
The colours of the world drained away and Naruto felt a shiver over his very soul. The blonde glanced to his left only to see death, the Shinigami in all its might.
"Well, I guess that's it then," the blonde muttered before his smile settled with a forlorn weight. 'Kurama looks like you will be free sooner than expected.'
"Uzumaki Naruto." The god spoke but its mouth did not move. "Child of Prophecy, Asura's heir. The time has come."
"That's it huh?"
"While you have not summoned me, you still bare my mark and with that being said, I grant you one boon."
"Boon?"
"Due to your father's choices, you are barred entry from the pure lands, by Kami's decree any who bare my mark may never enter the pure lands."
"My father?"
"I offer you a choice of two. You can spend eternity in stomach unable to be reincarnated in this realm or start anew in a new pantheon."
"Save the world and still not a peaceful reward in sight, I guess I got to leave the rest to you lot." Naruto said simply as he locked eyes with Death, his soul burning with determination.
"Is that the Will of Fire? Good keep that resolve, for you bare my mark and all who bare my mark shall no strife no matter the realm."
In a pulse of power, the soul of Uzumaki Naruto was purged from the Elemental Nations and the corpses of the last Uchiha and the Nine tails Jinchuuriki were both found deceased in a demolished valley.
The eclipsed sun towered on high as Fire giants spilled from the gates of Dis the capital city of Musphelheim just before the gates stood an entire battalion of golden armoured humanoids shorter than most of the giants, but four figures stood ahead of the invading force.
"All Father!" the deepest voice in all the realm shook the ground with his words alone as the largest of the fire giants stomped through his kin and marched directly toward the lead Asgardians.
From the king of the Fire Giants perspective, he was looking at the All-Father Odin, his brother Tyr the god of War and two younglings he was not aware of. As the giant stopped before the Asgardians he snarled.
"What are Gods doing in my realm, looking to start a war?"
"Nothing so crass Surt, we all know of your great power." Tyr began before Surt flared his power.
"I have no need for honeyed words from your ilk," Surt snapped. "Speak your piece and begone."
"We are only touring the nine realms I want to show my second born the nine realms., while inviting all leaders throughout the nine realms to attend my first-born son's wedding."
"So, you bring a militia? For an invitation…" a new voice came from above causing the gods and Surt to look skywards only to see a youngling with black feathered wings land at Surt's feet.
"Lord Father." The blonde said as he stood up, his wings furling back to their resting position as he glanced at the slightly older boys who stood across from him, before glancing at the elders.
"Son, so you have returned from your day out."
"Don't start this again, we have company." The blonde reminded his father before he turned back to the Asgardians.
"You are no Fire Giant, and you call Surt Father?" Tyr questioned while Odin raised an eyebrow at the boy.
"His mother was a Valkyrie, and I his father now then, you have visited my realm without my consent it's time for you all to leave."
"It's not a giant are we sure it's not a crow." The red headed Asgardian mocked quietly.
'Crow?' the blonde thought in annoyance before stepping forward the flame on his back burning larger and hotter as it reacted to the blonde expressing his power as the winged preteen stepped toward the older boy.
The red headed teen responded to the challenge in kind stepping forward flaring his own godly presence as sparks of electricity formed between his fingertips as the bolts of power trickled up his arms and flared from his eyes.
The adults all looked on in curiosity at the scene of their fledgling heirs facing off.
The two teens stood face to chest with the giantkin having to look up at the for now taller god.
"A giant and a Valkyrie made you?" the blonde god closer to the winged boy in age. "What are you?"
"Damn straight." the blonde responded his eyes not leaving the Asgardian teen he had heard so much about from the rants he overheard in his youth. "And me, I'm one of a kind." The blonde made a point to say nothing else.
"Watch tis who you speak little crow, that is Balder, and I am Thor b we are the sons of Odin the All Father.
'I can smell the arrogance off your breath.' The blonde thought "I go by many names but for now I'll tell you a few." The blonde said as he smirked at the older boy before stepping back a pace before his power began to rise. "I am Arvingr to Musphelheim, the Wildfire of Dis, Sindr Molten- born."
Odin glanced with his one eye to the winged boy. 'Not a giant but not a Valkyrie but something new perhaps.'
Surt saw the All-Father's eye wander to his son and then the world began to heat up.
The blonde glanced at his father briefly as the fire giants rage and power began to build.
Both parties new the time for talk was over, the choice was obvious for the elders move on or there will be blood.
Odin simply nodded before clicking his fingers and a rainbow burst through the heavens and swallowed the invading gods returning them to their lands.
Surt took on last glance at the sky before turning on his heel. "Come Sindr, it is time for your training to be taken up a notch."
"But!"
"No buts you slipped your guards again and so you will be sparring with me."
"But you sound frustrated like you got some stuff to work through."
"Your right I do have some shit to burn through."
'Not what I said.' Naruto thought before just nodded fully knowing he couldn't argue with his old man with his mood now.
'Time to take this beating like a man I guess.'
In the fire pit within the coliseum in Dis there were several shockwaves as attendants and guards watched on as Sindr, as young as he was, as small as he was he was keeping up with their lord.
The eclipsed sun that lights this realm had set and risen during this duel.
"To think 12 Solstices ago he was born." A Fire giant guard uttered as he watched the two Superpowers of Musphelheim duke it out.
"They've been at this for the past 8 hours. How much stamina does the boy have?"
"I don't know but to see the young leader this powerful this young, you all saw how he faced down the all-fathers brat."
Sindr was blasted back through the air from a mean back hand that sent him hurling.
The blonde recovers quickly as his wings flexed and flapped correct his position before flying toward his father once more.
Surt was ready for his son's recovery. 'Invulnerable to all physical damage while his flames are ignited,' the Fire giant thought to himself as he expected his son not to be finished from a few love taps.
"I ain't done old man." Sindr roared as his flames burned brighter and he becoming a small comet driving his knee toward Surt's approaching fist.
The two fought for dominance but the giant lords fist overpowered his son once more sending him rocketing toward the stands to fast for recovery.
The blonde slammed hard kicking up a huge dust cloud.
No one moved an inch not even Surt as he watched for any movement.
'Whats that?' Surt thought as he thought he spotted a flicker of flame from within the dust cloud.
A beam of concentrated fire burst through the air.
Surt for all his power even against his own son he was not prepared for the beam of fire to pierce right through his shoulder sending him stumbling backwards a couple of heavy paces.
Before anyone else could respond there was movement wings spread out from within the smoke and then the dust and smoke was displaced by a burst of speed.
"Fast," an onlooker gasped.
'This… is this the power of an Eldvalkyr,' Surt thought in shock at being wounded by fire, before his winged son appeared in his face. 'No flames.' The fire lord noted the lack thereof upon his sons back.
The blonde lashed out with a wicked roundhouse kick that sent his old man reeling.
"Sometimes speed equals power Old man." Sindr cheered.
"True son but now your vulnerable!" Surt roared as he recovered faster than expected and was back on the offensive leading with a flaming thunderclap that sent his son spiralling in the air.
'Shit!' Sindr thought as he span through the air and before he could recover he spotted shadow with molten gold eyes staring above, with their fist cocked back. "Ah shit." The blonde cursed as he crossed his arms in an attempt to block the giants fist but the power of his father smashed the winged giantkin straight into the earth below cratering the arena of the fire pit.
"Not a bad kick but then again could be better." Surt said as he landed next to his son's prone form.
Sindr just put middle finger up as his father as he wheezed from being winded. 'I miss Tsunade's love taps or am concussed?' Sindr thought idly as his vision swam in and out of focus.
'Boundaries were being tested you must be ready for the wars to come,' Surt thought to himself before he signalled an end to the spar.
Time had passed on by, season after season and as Sindr grew the Aesir tightened their hold over multiple realms, rumours of discontent, whispers of rebellion could be heard, but none acted, most feared the thunder and whatever retribution usually followed. Most however does not mean all.
One who never feared the thunder was in clearing that contained a watering spring. As she knelt her mind drifted to her family.
"Magni, and Modi are idiots." The girl muttered as her fingers reached and caressed the spring. "Father doesn't get it. Neither does mother, why can't they see I don't want to get married."
As she spoke to herself the ground beneath began to rumble and shake.
"What the?"
Out the ground several drakes burst forth all bearing a mark that she had come to know to well. "Alviss?!" the girl hissed the name of the dwarf lord who wished to bed her.
'One to the left, the other to the right and on drake cut off my only exit.' The girl stood up drawing her mace and sword.
The drakes continued to stalk closer to their prey. A high pitch whitsling could be heard from a distance.
The woman felt sweat beginning to form from her brow.
"Am I nervous?" the girl questioned herself as she stared down he would be captors.
"Dya!
"Hmm? Am I hearing things?"
"Namic,"
The young woman could feel the heat now.
"Entry!" A rush light and heat speared from the heavens.
The woman saw a black winged figure just dive kick and drag the drake through the ground carving a small trench of earth, flesh and blood.
"A Valkyr?"
As the figure stood up their wings moved clearing the dust cloud caused by their entry.
The woman who was expecting a Valkyrie saw not a woman but a man, standing taller than her father, ebony black wings as a crown of fire flaring in the wind.
"Close but no." the man responded, "The name is Naruto, who are you?" the feathered man said as he removed his lodged foot from the near melted hide of the drake.
The young woman looked at the man before her blonde hair currently ignited and glowing like layered golden flames. 'He is also taller than any Valkyr I've ever met.' She thought while her eyes noted his whisker marked cheeks and ocean blue eyes. Her eyes trailed from his head to his shirtless torso that was covered in tattoos including over his navel. Unfurled wings that looked heavy even on the blondes 10-foot frame.
"Oi woman my face is up here." Naruto hollered causing the girl to beet red before she could utter anything else deep intense growling could be heard. The two other drakes grumbled at the death of their fellow beast before charging their prey and the newcomer.
The larger of the two charged toward the winged blonde.
SNAP
Fingers snapped and the drake's eyeballs were immolated causing the beast to buck in agony as it roared in pain.
SNAP
During its roar the blonde spotted the beasts barbed tongue and directed his flames to ignite the tongue.
"I always forget how easy it is for fat to burn." Naruto muttered as watched the drake buck and wreath in agony before it dove toward the spring water.
As the beast dove into the spring with a big splash Naruto glanced over to see the skull of the slightly smaller drake crushed and one of its stubby legs had been bisected.
Naruto burning hair swayed as he stepped towards the small spring. "My apologies for destroying such an oasis." He said before squatting down and placing his fingers into the water.
"I can't have you poisoning the local water supply with your wounds. So become sterile and boil."
The Spring water began to bubble and churn Naruto raised the temperature higher and hotter.
Deep in the spring the final drake was cooked within its own scales before it floated to the top.
The blonde turned to face the younger girl "Not bad little Aesir." Naruto praised at her work.
"That's not my name, everyone should know my name?"
"Well, I don't so why don't you enlighten me?"
"Thrud of Asgard. What are you?"
Before any more words could be exchanged a massive war horn rang.
"Shit!" Thrud cursed "They'll be looking for me know."
"Well now little godling I think you best be off before the thunder finds you." Naruto teased "And by the way I'm an Eldvalkyr, maybe you may learn more the next time we meet."
"Next time? How confident of you."
"I thought you Aesir love arrogance made manifest."
"Fair point." Thrud said no more as young girl departed in a frantic fashion but not before grabbing the smashed skull and severed limb to serve as evidence and trophies.
Glancing over at his own kill.
"I guess you will have to do." Naruto muttered as he grabbed the oversized dead drake and flew off on his own. "I wonder if father will send other emissaries to Niflheim, Surt knows his wife would try to kill me for existing." After clearing the treeline Naruto missed a pair of eyes watching him from the shadows.
"Now what was the way to Utgard again." Naruto whispered to himself before finding his north once more.
The End
This came out of a deep depression so i would like to continue this but no actual clue in what direction to head in.
Anyway non God Naruto some of Surt and a Valkyrie essentially making a blonde Lunarian (One Piece)
weapons will come in the future got a type in mind
Thor vs Sindr/Naruto will be realm shattering... Yeah Midgard maybe fucked
Also while i've got a decent understanding of Norse Myth some things will be adapted to suit the story im telling so if I change your favourties dont get mad i know already but the needs of the story out way everything else.
Also small note Zoro vs King has been living in my head rent free for years at this point.
Also i'm tempted after Ragnarok we end up potential facing off a Tyranid invasion which would be cool to see Asgardians, Vanir, Giants facing off against the Warp and other hive fuckers from Warhammer 40k so yeah
Just watched Secret Level (So good btw and Pacman episode was a hit) and got it in my head the Nine realms vs Tyranids and the chills.
Should our boy learn some magic or is pyrokinesis enough?
