(The Prologue)
The winds of history whispered tales of war and betrayal, of bloodlines so powerful they shook the foundations of the shinobi world. Among them was Madara Uchiha, the architect of chaos and a man consumed by the pursuit of power. But in the aftermath of his defeat to Hashirama Senju, a secret was born—a child he never intended, carried by a woman who saved his life, After Madara's fierce battle against Hashirama.
Rika Namikaze, the fastest kunoichi of her era, saved Madara from death after his fateful battle with Hashirama Senju. She tended his wounds and, over time, saw glimpses of humanity in him. Madara, for the first time, felt a connection beyond power and ambition. Their union brought forth Minato—a child of two different clans, inheriting the Sharingan of the Uchiha and the Swift Release bloodline of the Namikaze clan.
But tragedy loomed over their brief happiness. When Kumo shinobi sought to capture Rika for her rare abilities, she chose death over captivity, fighting valiantly to her last breath. Madara, consumed by rage, destroyed the attackers but could not save her. Broken by grief, he abandoned his son, leaving Minato to survive in a world that only knew his father as a villain.
Orphaned and wandering, Minato eventually found his way to Konoha, where his extraordinary talents earned him recognition. He became the Fourth Hokage, celebrated for his speed, intelligence, and unmatched combat skills. But the truth of his lineage remained buried, a secret known only to him.
Far from Konoha, in the land of whirlpools, a young Kushina Uzumaki grew up amidst the remnants of the Uzumaki clan. Her mother, Rias Senju, was the youngest daughter of Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki—a woman who embodied both the vitality of the Senju and the resilience of the Uzumaki.
Kushina's childhood was a blend of rigorous training and constant lessons on fuinjutsu due to her dual heritage. Her father, Arashi Uzumaki, was a master of sealing techniques and the ruler of Uzushiogakure, while her mother trained her in the art of chakra control and medical ninjutsu. But war came to Uzushio, and at age of 7 Kushina was sent to Konoha for protection and live with her grandmother Mito Uzumaki when uzushiogakure was destroyed, a fact that was unknown to everyone but senju clan and uzumaki clan.
In Konoha, she met Minato—a man whose kindness and strength melted her fiery temper. Their love was a union of two great legacies. Together, they brought Naruto into the world, their hopes for peace embodied in their son.
On October 10th, their son Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze was born, making them the happiest parents in the world at that moment, but happiness soon changed to sadness when they were attacked by a masked man who claimed to be Madara Uchiha, reminding Minato of his old wounds. The masked man took naruto as hostage abd used him as distraction to get to kyuubi jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki.
In her weakend state, she was unable to protect herself and the masked man used his mangekyo sharingan to rip kyuubi out of her forcefully and order kyuubi to kill her, only to he saved by her husband in time. He took her to their son while he himself went to deal with the masked man and kyuubi who was under his control.
The battle raged on as minato defeated the masked man and successfully freed kyuubi of his control, but kyuubi was still under efects of genjutsu and only way to seal kyuubi into the new vessel, as kushina was out of option as she would die and kyuubi would reform moments later, and only an uzumaki can hold the kyuubi was adding more weight to the situation.
With a heavy heart, minato and kushina decided to seal kyuubi into naruto, kushina held kyuubi using her Adamantine Sealing Chains since she didn't had enough chakra to do wood release. Minato summoned death god, shinigami, himself to seal kyuubi into their son, shinigami agreed to minato's contract and gave naruto a part of his power as well as a gift. Kyuubi under effects of genjutsu tried to kill naruto but both patents jumped in front of the attack thus resulting in their demise after finishing up with the sealing and telling their son to be a great shinobi and to live a happy life.
Unbeknownst to them, Naruto carried the reincarnated souls of Indra and Asura, the sons of the Sage of Six Paths whose eternal feud shaped the shinobi world.
His childhood was not what you expect, he was beaten, abused and ignored. He had his first assasination attempt when he was 5 hours old. He grew up alone in the orphange while only light in his darkness were Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobhi, Itachi Uchiha, Yugao Uzuki, Tuechi Ichiraku and Ayame Ichiraku. He was thrown out of the orphanage at tender age of 4 and lived on streets, hiding in alleys, for almost 4 months when Itachi found him and took her to hokage who gave him a decent apartment to live in.
He grew up and at the age of 6 entered academy with other clan heirs hoping he could make some friends but heemre also he was bullied, abused and made fun of. Teachers held him back and taught him wrong things purposely while throwing him out from every important class. They also made sure whoever naruto faces gooes3all out against him while naruto wasn't even allowed to anything other than taijutsu, and that's why he was always faced Sasuke Uchiha, who showed him no mercy.
He was scolded for asking questions or asking teacher to repeat things or when he asked any explanation from them, so instead of complaining about their behaviour he focused solely on pranking. He started pranking people in village including those who had hurt him in past and have evil intentions towards him. No one was safe from him even the hokage mountain when he painted it days before his graduation.
He failed his graduation exam due to his inability to do clone jutsu, but when mizuki approached him with an offer to become a shinobi he couldn't refuse. So he stole forbidden scroll of sealing and later it turned out he was tricked by mizuki and in the end he beat mizuki with his new shadow clone jutsu and learnt he had a giant nine tailed fox sealed inside him.
After that naruto was assigned to team 7 along with Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno under leadership of Kakashi Hatake. He expected to learn some coll jutsu and become a srrong shinobi like his idol Fourth Hokage, but so far nothing happened. Kakashi was always late and gave extra lessons to Sasuke Uchiha and sometimes Sakura Haruno while always telling naruto to improve his basics but never telling him how to go about it.
The only thing he taught him was tree walking which was during a C rank mission which got converted to A rank mission. His team was a different story. He hated sasuke with passion, for him sasuke was an arrogant bastard who thought everyone was beneath him and since he gave naruto some attention during spars, naruto considered him his friend even though it was all naruto in that friendship.
Sakura was also the same, she was the number one naruto bully in the academy, always hitting him whenever he tried talking to her or something went bad for her which continued when team 7 was formed. She berated him at every possible chance she get and always hit him in head for some reason even though naruto has crush on sakura but his feeling were again one sided.
Months later after Wave Mission, Team 7 was nominated for chunin exam where they passed the first exam while naruto having some difficulties as it was a written test but fortunately naruto managed to get through to the second round of the chunin exam and this is where our story starts.

(The Present Day, Forest of Death, Konohagakure)
Naruto along with Sasuke, Sakura, entered the Forest of Death when the second phase of chunin exams started, unaware of the dangers that awaited them. Orochimaru, the rogue Sannin, targeted Sasuke for his Sharingan, setting a chain of events into motion.
In a moment of desperation Naruto used kyuubi's chakra to attack orochimaru and his snake, "TAKE THIS!!" yelled naruto as he dived down and attacked the snake sannin in his tailless kyuubi chakra mode that made snake summon flinch as naruto continued his barrage of angry hits.
'What is that power? I will ask dobe to give it to me' thought sasuke as he looked at naruto's form attacking the snake sannin's summon continuously.
'I am glad that baka is here to save me and my sasuke-kun' thought sakura as she stood behind sasuke.
"Ho!! It's the kyuubi brat, this day just got a whole lot more interesting" muttered orochimaru as he used his snake summon toungue to catch naruto and bring him closure to him.
"Let me go you bastard" yelled naruto as he desperately tried to get himself free.
"I can't let you do what want kyuubi, so to finish this Five Element - Seal" said orochimaru and slammed naruto with his glowing fingers on kyuubi's seal.
Naruto let out a curling scream as kyuubi chakra returned to the seal and orochimaru dropped unconcious naruto letting him fall free to the ground with a loud thud.
"Now sasuke-kun, show me your power" said the snake sannin as he lunched at sasuke
"STAY AWAY FROM ME" yelled sasuke and weaved handsigns calking out "Fire Style : Grear Fireball Justu" and breaths out a huge firewall at sannin who took it head on. When fire died down orochimaru stepped out from the smoke unharmed.
"What are you?" asked sasuke as he refused to believe that someone just took his fireball jutsu and survived it.
"Don't tell me, that is the only thing you get. Even your unconcious teammate did a better job" taunted orochimaru
Sasuke seethed in anger at being compared to naruto "I will show you, I am better than that dobe" said sasuke and quickly did a series of habd signs and said "Fire Style : Pheonix Flower Jutsu" and breths out small balls of fire at orochimaru who did his own series of hand signs and said "Earth Style : Mud Bullet" said orochimaru and sends out a few mud bullets to counter sasuke's jutsu and easily overpowered it.
Orochimaru lunged at sasuke in a fierce taijutsu battle, to measure his capabilities and was impressed when sasuke laid a hit on him. Orochimaru looked at sasuke's eyes and saw a two tomoe sharingan blazing.
"Impressive sasuke-kun but now you have to die" said orochimaru and used his kusanagi to attack sasuke.
'NO I CAN'T DIE' sasuke screamed to himself and did a long series of hand seals and said "Fire Style : Dragon Flame Bullet" and breaths oit a huge fire dragon who hit orochimaru dead on as he was about to strike sasuke with kusanagi, the area filled with screams as sasuke took his steps back thinking he had won but soon the screams changed to sinister laugh and orochimaru walked out from flames with half burned face.
"Who are you?" asked sasuke in shocked as the ninja in front of him just survived his strongest jutsu.
"I am Orochimaru, one of the three sannin" and again lunched at him with his sword.
Sasuke froze under orochimaru's KI, "Sasuke-kun" screeched sakura which broke him out of his trance and looked for something to save and he smirked when he saw naruto who just got up after being unconcious.
Sasuke used his chakra and with two hand signs, he switched places with naruto who got hit by orochimaru's sword in chest.
"What? How did I get here?" asked a shocked naruto as blood flew down his chest and coughed up some blood as well.
"How cruel of you sasuke-kun, using your own teammate as shield" said orochimaru with a evil smirk and turned around to see sasuke running with sakura in tow. He took his sword out of naruto who fell to ground bleeding, while orochimaru disappeared in poof of smoke.
Sasuke and Sakura who were running, suddenly something bit in sasuke's neck and both looked at orochimaru standing in front of them with his neck extendning.
"If you need power, come to me sasuke-kun. Till than use my gift as you like" said orochimaru before disappearing in poof of smoke and sasuke fell down clutching his neck.
"SASUKE-KUN" screeched sakura as she started tending to her crush and once he was clam she picked him up and started looking for a place to hide to give them time to recover.
Meanwhile, Lying in a pool of blood, Naruto was thinking and crying as his own comrade/teammate used him as a shield to protect himself and used it as distraction to flee saving their lives.
'I swear if I somehow survive this I will kill those bastards and if not I will find a way to haunt them down' thought naruto as his conciousness slipped away and darkness claimed him.

(In Limbo)
Limbo is an ethereal realm suspended between life and death, where time and space blur into an endless expanse of shifting colors—soft purples, deep blues, and silvery grays rippling like water across an unseen sky. The ground is a black, mirror-like surface that reflects distorted images, while a ghostly mist swirls, obscuring the horizon and lending the space an otherworldly stillness. The air tingles with energy, neither warm nor cold.
Naruto started to stir and rubbed his eyed onlu to see golden sky. He sat and looked around to see seven figures standing beside him.
He quickly recognised two of them since they were the hokage but he didn't have any clue about who others were but then he realised both of these hokage's are dead, so he could be dead as well.
Seeing him sad, a red haired woman who was wearing a white blouse with green dress approached him and crouched down to his level and asked "What happened why are you sad?" asked the woman
"Well I died, that's why I am sad. I didn't even get to become a hokage dattebayo" said naruto, surprising him the woman beside chuckled while others also smiled at him.
"Dattebayo huh!? you're really my son dattebane!" said woman with a small smile as she was running her hand through his hair
"Mom!?" asked naruto tentatively as tears threatened to flow down his cheeks
"Hai, I am Kushina Uzumaki, your mother and I am sorry for dying the day you were born and leaving you alone" said the woman now named kushina and both mother and son hugged each other while naruto was crying, kushina whispered comforting words to him to calm her son down.
"Now I don't have any regret about dying, I so wanted to meet you dattebayo" exclaimed naruto as he sat beside his mother.
"But you're not dead naru-chan" said kushina
"What do you mean mom?" asked naruto
"What your mom trying to say is you're in half dead state, after witnessing your life we talked to lady kami and she allowed us to train you. Lastly I am sorry my son, for sealing kyuubi into you" said the man with blonde hair whom naruto recognised as Fourth Hokage.
"That means fourth hokage..." asked naruto
"Yes kiddo I am your father" said minato and opened his arms for a hug "Can I also get a hug?" asked minato and naruto walked upto his father and punched him straight in gut which made him wince and then naruto hugged his father.
"I think i deserved that punch" said minato with a small chuckle and naruto laughed as well.
"I am sorry to break this reunion but we don't have time" said a male figure with black hair and was wearing a black robe with skulls on it
"Sorry Lord Shinigami" said minato with a bow
"Hello Naruto-kun" said shinigami
"I am honoured to meet you shinigami-sama. are you here to claim my soul?" asked naruto
"No kid, I along with your parents and your other family members are here to train you" said shinigami
"But why me? I want to be powerful but I don't think deserved training from hokage's and death god himself." asked naruto
"You have suffered enough naruto-kun, think of it as a way me and lady kami repenting for robbing you of your parents and the suffering you had so far" said shinigami
"But.." was all naruto said when kushina cut him off "No but naru-chan, we have seen your life and it on our request she is allowing us to train you. Please don't take our only chance of raising our son away from us" said kushina
"Fine mom, but I want to learn everything by training myself, I don't want things gifted to me" said naruto
"And this is one of the few reasons you are worthy" said shinigami and turned to kushina "Introduce him to other family members and after that we will began, he will spend 1000 years here which will be 2 days in the real world, I healed his wounds, removed his seal and poison. So he is just unconcious" sais shinigami
"Hai, shinigami-sama" said kushina and went on to introduce naruto to rest of the family members which were His grandmother on father's side Rika Namikaze, his great grand father on his mother's side Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki. Shinigami also introduced naruto to sage of six paths who inturn gave a history lesson to everyone about his mother, his life, biju and ninshu. He also told naruto that he is his reincarnation since he contain chakra of both of his sons.
"So naruto-kun are you ready? You can back down if you want" asked shinigami
"You bet shinigami-sama, My name is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, heir to Namikaze, Uzumaki and Senju Clans, I will never give up and never go back on word. That's my ninja way dattebayo!!" exclaimed naruto while his parents and grand parents looked at him with pride.
"Veey well so Let's start with you training. You schedule will be..." said shinigami and thus naruto's training under his parents, grand parents, sage of six paths and shinigami started.
