There is a well known saying that goes like this: the bigger they are, the harder they fall. I doubt I have to explain the meaning but for argument's sake I will. You can see it from a physical perspective as a body with a large volume will contain a large amount of mass as well, and so when said body falls it will apply an equally large amount of force. There is the social context as well, for example a mistake made by a politician will be far more costly to their career than that made by a small time shop keeper.
Now my dear reader, you may be wondering what this has to do with a story involving the naruto franchise. Well this is precisely how the story starts. Aurora Ambridge was a well renowned scientist in the fields of space-time mesh bending and quantum physics, her aspiration was to be the first to breach the space-time mesh in a controlled way to form a stable wormhole. I would like to point out that I said she was instead of is, why? simple, she is no more.
The first attempt she ever made was her last as she made a simple yet vital mistake. The machine she was using to open a portal the size of a few atoms in diameter hadn't been properly configured. This error however was not hers, but that of her personal assistant. If one were to look back it was a sequence of seemingly inconsequential actions that led to the mistake.
Emma, the assistant, had spent the previous night celebrating with her colleagues, Aurora not included. In said celebration she had consumed a fair amount of alcohol which of course led to a hangover the next day. Not wanting to miss their first ever attempt at making history she decided not to call in sick. Coincidentally that day was a guard rookie's first day and so he performed his duties poorly. This led to Ema's unenpided entry into the facility despite not being in working condition.
Mistakes were made, Emma with her rather prominent headache imputed the wrong parameters into the machine which led to catastrophe. For starters, the quantum restriction field's oscillation frequency had been attuned to five ghertz more than it should. The portal diameter had been set to five meters instead of five femtometers. Worst of all was the desynchronization of the portal's temporal canals.
Many things should have happened thanks to all these mistakes. The machine should not have started, and if it did it should have shut down before it could even start the warming up. Even if it did manage to warm up and properly attempt to open the wormhole the sheer energy requirement should have caused it's shut down. None of that happened.
Somehow the sum of all the mistakes led to the impossibility of the machine functioning with normality. The energy required was absorbed by the quantum restriction field from the temporal dysfunction created by the desynchronization of the temporal canals. This led to the creation of a pair of wormholes of five meters in diameter instead of a singular one. Worst of all was the fact that only god could know where the wormholes led.
A second. The portals lasted a single second as the power grid suffered a meltdown from the sheer amount of energy generated. However that was enough for Aurora to be mercilessly ripped from the fabric of reality. She had been a single step closer to the containment glass than her peers and that was enough to be within the 5 meters spherical radius of the wormholes.
All Emma and the other scientists saw was a flash of light and then nothing. The lights of the underground compound had died and so they were in complete darkness. A moment later a scientist used his phone's light to observe their surroundings. In front of them, where the bright doctor Aurora Ambridge had once stood was a crater. A perfect pair of spheres had been cut into the concrete walls and floor leaving nothing behind.
In the turbulence of time and space where all realities and none existed at the same time a new straggler appeared. It happened too fast for Aurora to react. One moment she was standing in front of the containment glass expecting to write history the next she was flung through an unknown environment. Worst of all was the pain. An indescribable pain assaulted her senses as her body was assaulted by dissonant waves of space and time. Any other living being should have died by now and yet by a miracle she was kept alive.
The colors were blinding and suffocating. Her body demanded air but there was none in this place if it could be called as such. Unknown objects would smash against her body, ripping it to pieces only for a wave of temporal inconsistency to fix it. Some other objects would instead be absorbed causing an untold amount of changes.
Time went on, or back as she continued to suffer the worst hell imaginable. A millennium experienced in a microsecond. A microsecond experienced in a millenium. In a place where time and space lose all coherence, how is the fibble human mind expected to keep sane. Finally her body was torn, shredded to nothingness and yet something remained. The soul, a concept all living things know exists and yet none comprehend. That remnant was finally freed from the chaos of space and time to either disappear or find a new vessel.
The soul is a complex thing. A conglomerate of energies that form the basis for any and all living entities. A data bank containing all possible information pertaining to said being. Complex, powerful and firm, yet fragile to a fault. From DNA memories, experiences, personality and many more the soul stores them all.
Aurora's soul had gone through a traumatic experience as it had been overwritten and rewritten over and over again while within the chaos of time and space. Now that it had finally fallen into a stable reality once again its first instinct was to search for a vessel. Normally, souls would experience energy decay while outside their vessels. This of course could be mitigated through many means. However, a soul that has left the body will for all intents and purposes disappear after experiencing decay to never be recovered.
Aurora's soul was different. Whatever happened to it within the chaos of time and space made it resilient to a fault. It as any other would decay and disappear with time. However, how long it would take for it to do so was up for debate. Not that it matters as after a day it found what it needed.
A single zygote just formed in the womb of a woman was the perfect vessel. It was like a clean slate. No soul resided in it yet and so it could be modified and adapted to house the soul. There would be no rejection and as such a life that was supposed to end could be brought back.
As soon as Aurora's soul entered extreme changes began to occur to the genetic material of the zygote. Mutation after mutation followed as whatever had changed her soul was now changing her new body. She would never come to know the full scope of what had integrated and changed her but for us who watch her story it would be better to disclose it.
For starters it's better to explain what resides within the chaos of time and space. Aside from the chaotic primordial energies of time and space themselves there is also an innumerable number of things within. After all, chaos is connected to any and all realities and worlds. It would not be a stretch to say that anything and everything that could exist has once entered the chaos.
Of course the chaos of time and space also works as let's say the multiversal trash-can. When a universe dies it gets torn by the chaos, reduced to its most elemental components. What might remain of them are the things that can withstand the chaotic energies within. That brings us back to what entered and changed Aurora's soul.
The first thing to come in contact with the poor scientist was a lightning made out of pure energy. This lightning was the very representation of a primordial force. The speed force as its name implies controls speed and therefore the kinetic energy contained within an action or being.
Even though a link was established between Aurora's being and the force itself said link was rather narrow preventing her from taking full advantage of its primordial powers. However, with time and effort she might be able to increase her connection with the speed force being able to use more of its power.
Another boon she got is a piece of an entity that is known as scp-682 or the hard to destroy reptile. Don't let the name fool you though. The damned lizard is for all intents and purposes immortal. Capable of adapting to any and all situations it also boasts of absurd regenerative powers. Unfortunately, just like the sayan blood it didn't provide the full scope of these absurd abilities. Instead, Aurora got a heavily degraded version of them.
If the lizard is capable of adapting in a matter of seconds Aurora would take days, months or even years depending on the situation. While the lizard can reform its whole body from a single cell in an hour or two. Aurora heals a little faster and can regrow lost limbs albeit the process would take a long time to complete.
Finally, an eye from the spider goddess shiraori. Shiraori is a goddess born from the boredom of her progenitor known as the evil goddess D. Through insurmountable odds and struggle Shiraori ascended into god who earned her name from D. Her eyes possess many powers from seeing a few seconds into the future to clairvoyance for kilometers. However, her most powerful ocular power is the eye of gluttony.
The eyes that can never be satiated. A skill created by shiraori with the intention to fight and defeat other gods by stealing their energy through her eyes. The eye of gluttony. Just like before Aurora didn't get all the boons from the eye. However she did get the eye of gluttony. The eye of gluttony or boshokugan when activated changes her iris color to a bright pink while the pupil separates creating four new ones that surround the original one.
There are multiple factors that determine the rate at which energy is stolen. However, the amount isn't large even when Shiraori used them. That's why she used an untold amount of clones to stack the effect.
With all these modifications it would be safe to assume that Aurora would be an absolute monster in her new life. However, one has to remember that she does not know any of this information. It is up to her to realize her potential.
Days went by as little Aurora continued to grow until finally after eight months her consciousness woke up once more. Of course as a scientist and logical thinker she did not panic at her current situation. After all, as a renowned scientist and avid user of the scientific method how could she let herself panic? Right?
'Where am I? Why can't I see anything?' Disoriented, Aurora tried to move around.
'Wait? Why can't I move!? Calm down Aurora, think. The last thing I remember was giving the good to go for the experiment and then a bright flash and a lot of pain… am I dead? Of course not, how could I be thinking if I am dead! Not to mention I still have my sense of touch. I can feel a warm fluid around me so…'
As Aurora continued contemplating her situation she began hearing voices from an unknown place.
"hey… have you… about baby… name?"
"yes… if girl… "
Aurora's thoughts came to a halt. For starters she recognized the language spoken as japanese. She had never been more thankful for her addiction to Japanese culture as it was this that led her to learn the language. However, the more pressing matter was the topic of the conversation.
'Baby? What baby are they talking about? Is it me? No way, I am a full grown ass adult. I want no part in any of their kinky fetishes, hell no. Wait, let's not go there, judging people is bad. Maybe I happened to be nearby and overheard them. That however does not help with my situation. Could it be that I am going through some experimental medical procedure after the accident?'
Frustrated Aurora tried to scratch her head furiously like she would do in the past when a problem refused to be solved. Once again the attempt to move was met with failure as her body refused to move… properly that is. She felt how her arms flailed wildly before hitting something. That something felt warm and oddly flesh-like.
"Looks… baby… woke… active"
"... means… healthy… happy"
Once again Aurora's thoughts halted. The two voices began talking about how the baby was active just as she moved. To make matters even worse she felt a soft soothing pressure traveling through the walls of whatever held her. At that moment a thought creeped its way inside her mind. Could it be that she was actually a baby?
'No fucking way! That 's absurd! How the fuck could I be a baby? How the fuck could I become a baby? That makes no sense! There must be an explanation! Grown women in their thirties don't just become babies out of the blue!'
However, the more she thought about it the more it made sense. Leaving aside the how, the current situation alludes to that very conclusion. The evidence is there.
'Okay, let's assume that I did become a baby. The question is how? As for that, the only thing I can guess is that I somehow went back in time to before being born. However, that theory crumbles as soon as I take into consideration the language spoken. My parents never learnt japanese! Both of them were born in the UK and grew up there. There is no reason for them to speak Japanese!'
That's when a new thought or rader word popped in her mind like an intruder hellbent on robbing all of her attention. A simple word. A Japanese word. A word that has picked up traction in fantasy settings in recent years. The word is the dreaded isekai.
'I wasn't run over by a truck though. Jokes aside and as implausible as it may sound it's the best guess I got. The facts are: I am a baby again, my new parents speak japanese. Now I know that's not a lot of evidence but in my situation it's kind of hard to acquire data. With that done now what? Am I supposed to wait for my birth? How long will that take!? If I am unfortunate enough it could be three months or more, damit!'
Having nothing better to do, Aurora decided to meditate. She had never done so before, after all she was a very busy and energetic woman. What has changed is that as of now there is nothing else to do not to mention that if she has truly been isekai she might have some powers or some such. That was always the premise in the anime and manga she read.
It made zero sense for her. Her logical thinking complained that what she was doing was nonsensical and a waste of time. However, her otaku heart disagreed with her. She opted to believe until proven otherwise and so she attempted to meditate. In anime meditation has always been about clearing the mind of all thoughts. She doubted that she could do that so instead she opted to concentrate on herself.
Aurora concentrated on her senses or at least what little she could sense. The first thing to catch her attention was a soft constant beating, presumably her mothers heart. The sound was relaxing and helped her ease into a tranquil state of mind. Next she felt something she had never felt in her previous life. The closest description she could give was that of a warm tingly feeling flowing through her body and around her.
Finding the new sensation interesting, Aurora concentrated on it. She began studying its flow, speed pattern and anything she could get. The feeling was complex in many ways. What she could tell was that the one that came from inside her felt dissimilar from the one outside. Somehow, she could tell that the one inside her would answer to her while the other wouldn't. Perhaps, the second one would answer to her mother instead.
Not having anything better to do, Aurora continued to analyze the feeling with such scrutiny only a scientist could muster.
A month has gone by and Aurora felt that the time for her birth was close. Why? because her living space felt cramped as all hell. She feared that if she wasn't born soon she would be stuck inside her mother forever. As she thought about that as if the very world listened to her, her mother's water broke.
Inside a hospital room a pretty woman with light brown hair screamed her lungs out as she pushed with all her might. At the moment the only thing she could think about was killing her husband for putting her through this.
"Nagi I swear to god after this I will kill you!" Nagi who was currently having his hand crushed by the women he loved could do nothing but have a wry smile on his face. The last month had been really tough on him. Himiko's mood swings became wilder by the day, not to mention her constant assasination threats.
"Come on honey just a little more and it will be over" He tried to reassure her for the Nth number of times as he had lost count a while ago. To tell the truth those words were more for him than for her as his hand had been broken for a while now. The woman, a shinobi at the rank of jounin, was well known for her physical strength.
Ten minutes later the baby was finally out as her cries could be heard in the room. Aurora was ecstatic to finally be out. What the doctors, nurses and her parents thought to be the usual cries of a new born baby were, in fact, shouts of celebration from Aurora.
"Whaaa, whaaa 'I am free motherfuckers! No more fucking borning black with absolutely nothing to do!'"
The nurse that was currently cleaning the baby could do nothing more than smile at her cuteness. The little thing was currently flailing her tiny arms as if she was celebrating. After the nurse finished cleaning and wrapping up the baby in a warm blanket before handing her to her mother.
"congratulations she's a healthy baby girl"
An exhausted mother held her baby with a smile so bright only a mother could have. She felt such joy at meeting her little baby girl that tears wouldn't stop flowing from her eyes. Truth be told, she had thought she would never be a mother after that incident.
During the third shinobi war when she was nothing more but a naive chunin, an enemy ninja had the drop on her and stabbed her stomach with his tanto. At the time she was sure of her death but miraculously an allied squad with a medic-nin saved her on time. Unfortunately the attack had damaged her womb dropping the chances of a successful pregnancy to almost nothing.
Unknown to Himiko, Nagi and Aurora, the only reason the pregnancy had been a success was due to Aurora's mutated soul changing the zygote. Due to 682 adaptability Aurora's new body managed to pull through otherwise, a natural abortion would have happend at around the third or fourth month.
Nagi was also smiling despite the pain from his left hand. As of now he was receiving some medical treatment for his broken hand while smiling towards the happy Himiko.
"As we agreed you get to name her honey" Nagi and Himiko had agreed that he would name the baby if he was a boy and Himiko if she was a girl. Truth be told, Nagi didn't care that she was a girl. He was just glad to be a father against all odds. Even Lady Tsunade had said that her beloved Himiko could never be a mother. Now he was just glad to have received such a miracle.
"I will call her Tomoka, my little Tomoka" Himiko chose the name a long time ago. The reason behind it was that for her, her child would be the most precious jewel to ever grace this world. Not only that but she had a feeling. She felt that her daughter would be smart, confident, beautiful but above all else she would be true to herself and loyal to her friends.
"That's a beautiful name honey" Nagi's gaze landed on little Tomoka as the little girl looked intently at her mothers eyes. Bright green eyes met the canela brown pair belonging to her mother. Nagi was sure that a connection formed between the two as they gazed at each other.
Meanwhile, Tomoka felt a little conflicted. In all fairness she liked her new name but she was reluctant to get rid of her old one. After all, it was given by her first parents. Admittedly not the best parents out there, they did neglect her a little while growing up, but ultimately not the worst. In the end she accepted her fate. It wasn't like she had a say in the matter.
As a matter of fact, that little reluctance didn't last long as instead she concentrated on her mother's face. Truth be told, Himiko is quite beautiful. Despite the seemingly boring color of her hair and eyes it could not be denied the beauty the woman held. Of course she couldn't be compared to Tomoka's previous life super models. Nonetheless she was still the looker.
Tomoka felt happy because with such a pretty woman as her mother, she would for sure be pretty as well when she grows up. The thought cause a giggle to escape her causing all within the room to have their hearts melt down from pure unadulterated cuteness.
This however didn't disrupt the doctors and even Nagi from noticing a few odd things about Tomoka. For starters, the few strands of hair on the newborn's head were a bright red color not dissimilar from those of the Uzumaki clan. Above that was the sheer surprise coming from the Hyuga clan member in charge of checking little Tomoka for any oddities.
For starters, the Baby had a lot of chakra flowing through her body. Even more concerning was the speed at which said chakra was moving. If one were to compare the Tomoka's chakra pool to an actual ninja then she would be at around low gening range.
The actual problem came from the speed at which the chakra moved. For all intents and purposes Tomoka should be dead, her little body grinded to a pulp due to her own chakra. Only a ninja in the high chunin upwards could handle the level of stress placed on the body by such an occurrence. Yet little Tomoka seemed completely unbothered.
As discreetly as he could, the Hyuga clan member approached the doctor present and disclosed the information he had gathered. With the new information Hazaki the doctor in charge couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face. The new info plus the hair color made him come to the conclusion that somewhere in her family tree an Uzumaki was involved. Moreover it seemed that little tomoka had inherited their insane chakra reserves as well as their hair color.
The doctor had hit the nail right in the head. However, things were a little more complicated. Even though she had indeed an Uzumaki ancestor, the chances of her actually inheriting the Uzumaki bloodline was closer to none than anything else. Once again the reason behind the odd defiance of odds was due to 682.
For a matter of fact, little Tomoka is as genetically enhanced as possible. 682's adaptability made sure of it. It just so happens that the Uzumaki bloodline was the best suited for this. However, that wasn't all. Due to her human genetics from a past life carrying over alongside her soul 682's influence further enhanced her.
Going back to Doctor Hazaki's thoughts, he was currently debating whether to report this to the Hokage or not. After all, the sudden appearance of an Uzumaki descendant with a strong inheritance from the bloodline was rather important. In the end he decided to go through with it. At most he would be adding a little more paperwork for the fourth and himself.
After a few more minutes Tomoka was taken away from Himiko despite the mother's strong reluctance to let go. After all, Himiko needed to rest and Tomoka needed to be properly taken care of. During that time doctor Hazaki wrote a short report and sent it to the hokage's office.
Unknown to doctor Hazaki, the fourth had no time to read the report as a rather important event was about to happen. Instead it was the old third hokage who was currently helping Minato with paperwork who took interest in the matter. No sooner did he read the report he decided to pay a visit to the hospital.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third now retired hokage from konohagakure or the village hidden in the leaves. To tell the truth Hiruzen had wanted to retire much earlier than he did but none of his students wanted the mantle. It wasn't until the next generation that an appropriate candidate had appeared. Now with his new found freedom from the hell known as paperwork Hiruzen would often spend his days doing nothing more than smoking his pipe and reading… cultured books.
As Hiruzen walked calmly through the streets of his beloved village he couldn't help but smile. As of now the sun was high up in the sky. Children were running and playing around. Adults would respectfully nod his way before continuing with their usual business. Hiruzen loved this simple peace.
After a while Hiruzen entered the hospital before asking around for doctor Hazaki. A while later a somewhat nervous man came to meet Hiruzen. How could he not be nervous when the legendary third hokage with the title of "professor" had called for him. He could somewhat guess why the third had come. However, he never expected his report to incite such a meeting. At most he expected some instructions or some such.
"No need to be nervous, Hazaki. This old man was thinking of taking a break from all that paperwork and what better way than to observe the new generation" With that said Hazaki relaxed a little. It was well known by now that the third enjoyed observing the future generations of konoha.
"In that case I assume you would like to see little Tomoka. This way please" With steady steps Hazaki guided the third to a room where a few newborn babies were currently sleeping peacefully in their respective cribs. Well, all but one.
"She seems quite energetic. As expected from someone with the Uzumaki bloodline" Hiruzen couldn't help but comment as the image of a redhead woman with a fiery temper crossed his mind.
As he said that Tomoka's eyes locked in on his position while stopping all movements. She suddenly became as still as a statue. The reason being that the reincarnated girl instantly recognized the old man.
In her previous life's youth she had spent her time doing many things. From learning all sorts of hobbies to studying any science her little hands could get information on. One of the many hobbies she had acquired was that of watching anime. It oh so happens that one of her favorites was naruto!
To be sincere she never liked most of the characters, naruto included. Instead what attracted her to the show was the world itself. The mere thought of humans being able to shoot fireballs out of their mouths mesmerized her. The idea of giant creatures' normal biology would not allow fascinated her.
Now she realized that she had reincarnated in that very world. After all, how could she forget the old perverted third hokage! Even though back then the show was animated and now the man was of flesh and blood she could still see an uncanny resemblance between them. She was at least eighty percent sure she was right in her assumption.
Now taking that into consideration she could make new guesses and figure out a few things. For starters, the fact the old man is still alive means she was born before Orochimaru's attack. Unfortunately it had been about fifteen years since she had seen the show so only very big events remained in her head. The many details were lost to time.
Tomoka wasn't discouraged by this. No use crying over spilt milk. whining would change nothing. Instead she was glad she remembered at least some events. With this she would have some advantages for the future.
As she thought about this she couldn't help but become excited as she began flailing and giggling wildly.
"Looks like she likes you lord third" Hazaki commented with a slight chuckle.
Half a day has gone by since the third's visit to the hospital. The moon was as of now up in the sky, the stars giving it company. After tiring herself out from flailing around, Tomoka fell asleep. The night was peaceful, silent and calm. All of that was bound to change in a few minutes. As of this very moment a masked man had kidnapped Kushina Uzumaki after she gave birth to her son.
Kushina Uzumaki, the loving wife of the fourth hokage and more importantly as of now the jinchuriki of the kyuubi. That last one was the very reason why the masked man had gone through the trouble of kidnapping her.
"Do you know how long I've waited for this moment?" The masked man couldn't help himself. The sheer hatred he had for konoha could not be easily understood. In front of him was Kushina chained to the nearby boulders by fuinjutsu seals.
Normally, the seal that contains the kyuubi within her body was as solid as a granite wall. Unfortunately said seal was currently weakened from her giving birth. As of now all that was required for the kyuubi to be freed was a little push. A push that the masked man was more than happy to provide.
However, for his plan to succeed he needed to do a little something first. From a hole in the mask his eye could be seen. A red iris with three tomoe around the pupil. In this world those eyes are known as the sharingan, a powerful kekkei genkai belonging to the Uchiha clan. One of the skills those eyes possess is that of powerful genjutsu. So powerful in fact that someone with the mangekyou version is capable of controlling a tailed beast such as the kyuubi.
Now with the Kyuubi under his control the man made his move. He forced the kyuubi out of the seal. This action would normally kill the jinchuriki; however, the Uzumaki's absurd vitality managed to keep Kushina alive, if just barely. Not bothering to kill her himself, the man used kyuubi to kill her, or at least he tried.
Minato had appeared in the nick of time saving his weakened wife. Using his flying raijin jutsu he quickly carried his wife home where previously he had carried his newborn son. Not wasting any time Minato took his hokague robe and left to fight against the mask man and kyuubi.
Inside the Uchiha compound the mask man summoned the controlled kyuubi. Suddenly the peaceful night was disrupted and all hell broke loose. Kyuubi, a tailed beast with a massive size of almost seven-hundred meters from head to tails, appeared out of nowhere.
The fight soon broke out as ninjas confronted the beast. Fires raged and buildings crumbled under the chaotic battle. If one were to compare normal jonin to the kyuubi it would be akin to comparing small bugs to a human. As the battle raged on, more buildings collapsed.
Inside the hospital Tomoka woke up due to all the commotion. The babys near her also woke up and began crying. Nurses could be seen running to and fro as they worked frantically to move the patients to one of the shelters. The babys were no exception as they too were being carried away.
Soon enough Tomoka was the last baby to be picked up by the nurse to be carried away. However, as luck would have it at that very moment the building began to shake and collapse. Not seeing any other option as the door was blocked by rubble the nurse jumped out the nearby window using her back to shield tomoka.
The nurse thankfully was a genin meaning she was strong enough to survive jumping from the second floor. Unfortunately the ordeal wasn't over. A large piece of rubble fell as she tried to regain her balance hitting her back.
Tomoka was released from the woman's arms falling a meter away. Her body ached and hurt as she landed on the hard ground. The blanket offered little protection but something was better than nothing. Thankfully she fell on her back as a direct impact to the head would be dangerous.
Inmovile due to her young age Tomoka could do nothing more than watch as the nurse was buried by the falling ruble. However, something far more important took her attention. As she looked upward she could see a massive fox wreaking havoc near her.
'Is that the fucking kyuubi! What the actual fuck! I am not even a day old and I am having to deal with kyuubi apearing out of fucking nowhere! FUCK! I don't want to die, damit! I was just born! I didn't wait a whole fucking month in absolute darkness, bored to no end to be killed as soon as I am born! Yoh! Kurama! Fuck off, at least wait till I can move properly to try and kill me you overgrown fox!'
Unknown to her the sheer stress from having death breathing down your nape made her body react. Chakra flowed through her body in an attempt to strengthen her for the fight or flee response. Unfortunately, a strong baby is still a baby. However, something else did happen. Her green eyes slowly took a pink hue as her pupils separated. Now her pink eyes with two pupils each looked intently at Kyuubi.
As she did she could see a bright red hue surrounding Kyuubi like a cloak. A part of said clock separated into a wisp of red energy that flew towards her before entering her eyes. Then pain followed. A Burning sensation akin to acid burned her eyes as small tears of blood formed on the corners of her eyes.
'What the fuck it hurts! Stupid fox go away already!'
The more she looked at kyuubi the more wisps of red would flow and enter her eyes causing more and more pain to her. At some point the pain spread from her eyes to the rest of her body. As if her entire being was being bathed in acid.
'Stupid fox I swear if you kill me I will haunt you till the end of the universe!'
As his rampage continued Kyuubi felt an odd feeling, one he disliked a lot. He could feel how someone or something was taking chakra from him. The amount was negligible like a drop of water missing from a giant lake. Yet he would not allow anyone to dare and steal from him! Even while being controlled his subconscious pride took charge to try and get rid of the nuisance.
At that moment he spotted a tiny human baby on the ground gazing at him. He could feel his chakra being drawn towards the baby. Because of this he tried to kill it by stepping on it with his giant frontal claw. Just as he was about to kill the little nuisance the third hokage used enma's adamantine staff form to attack him. The attack offset his balance causing his claw to grab a whole chunk of the ground instead of just crushing the baby.
Kyuubi had been pushed outside of the village by the hokage while holding a bunch of dirt in his right claw. At that moment Kyuubi disregarded the dirt he held in his claw as the baby should have died for sure. Instead he opted to make a bijudama to attack. Like before it was teleported away by Minato. Soon after the fourth teleported the Kyuubi alongside him far away to prevent further damage to the village.
Tomoka could be said to have the best and worst luck ever. The worst because she had been attacked after just being born! The best because despite all that had happened until now she was still alive! somehow the rubble Kyuubi picked up made a perfect pocket inside of it where Tomoka was currently.
'Kurama I swear! I have nothing against you, I actually like you quite a bit! But that doesn't mean I won't get angry if you kill me!' While cursing her heart out she felt how the clump of rubble she was trapped in moved at quite the speed. In panic Tomoka flared her chakra forming a thin protective film.
Minato dodged a clump of rubble Kyuubi sent his way. As it impacted the ground a figure clad in blue light came tumbling out of it. That single moment of distraction would have been fatal if it wasn't for Kushina using her adamantine chains to restrain the kyuubi. However, more surprising than that was the sound of a baby crying from the direction where the light fell.
'IT HURTS DAMIT!'
Kyuubi, Minato and Kushina were surprised to see a baby no older than Naruto crying on the ground while glaring at the Kyuubi. At that moment Minato made a decision. Originally he wanted to seal half of Kyuubi with him using the reaper death seal. This was so Kushina could seal the other half in naruto.
The reason behind this plan was simple. He wished for both Naruto and Kushina to live. However, as of now Kushina was too weak to hold even half of Kyuubi inside of her. As for Naruto, he was just a baby. The burden Naruto's body would have to withstand if the entire Kyuubi was sealed inside him would kill him.
Now there was another option. Minato could tell that the baby Kyuubi had brought had enough vitality to hold the other half of Kyuubi. With this, he could save his own life. It might sound selfish but he promised in his heart to treat that kid the best he could in the future to repay his debt.
The Kyuubi or rather Kurama was instead confused and distracted. Just before he threw the clump of rubble he had in his hand he heard someone using his name! Not only that but whoever did dare curse him! He began looking around to try and find who dared. This distraction cost him dearly.
As he stopped resisting Kushina's adamantine chains for a moment both her and minato took the opportunity to act. Minato quickly summoned a pair of small altars and in one kushina placed Naruto while in the other Minato placed Tomoka. Not wasting any time they began the procedure.
At that moment Kurama realized his mistake. He quickly attacked the pair of children. However to his dismay, Kushina used her body to shield Naruto while Minato used his to shield Tomoka. Kurama's claws were just a few inches away from the two but they would not move any closer.
"Summoning jutsu!" Minato could feel how his life slipped away but he still had a duty to complete.
"Gerotora, I am going to give you the sealing formula's key" Minato did as he said and soon after Gerotora left.
"Eight signed seal" Soon after light engulfed everyone present as Kurama disappeared inside Naruto and Tomoka. His yang half inside the boy and his yin inside the girl. Right after that, the lifeless bodies of Minato and Kushina fell to the floor as their lives came to an end.
'You have to be shitting me, there is no way. Did this really just happen? Why the fuck would Minato seal the GODS BE DAMNED KYUUBI INSIDE OF ME! FUCK! Now I have to deal with a grumpy old fox whispering in my ear for years to come!'
[Hmph]
'Oi Kurama! I swear if you try anything funny I will make you regret it! I don't know how, I don't know when but I will fuck you up! you hear me!'
At that moment Kurama's eyes opened wide. It was this baby that used his name! Not to mention, he just realized the baby's thoughts are too developed for a kid her age! Worst of all was her foul mouth!
[Brat, How do you know my name?]
Kurama was distraught on what to do as of now. He was talking with a baby, oh how the great have fallen. On the other hand Tomoka wasn't happy with being called a brat. She might be a baby right now but inside she had lived for a good thirty-four years before her reincarnation.
'What do you mean brat you stupid fox! Have some respect! I might not be as ancient as you but I will let you know I am thirty-four!'
[Who do you take me for? you shity brat. You are clearly a baby that has no vowel control and shits her pants! Now tell me how you know my name!]
'Are you calling me a liar!? That's it, don't let me see you or I will beat you up!'
[A shity brat like you? beating me up? HA, don't make me laugh brat, you aren't even big enough to count as a snack!]
The bickering and cursing continued for a good half an hour. The two were so engrossed in cursing each other that they didn't realize Tomoka and Naruto being carried back to the village. An hour later Tomoka was once again inside a crib with her eyes closed. However, she wasn't sleeping.
She was in her mindscape talking to Kurama. In there she looked like a twenty-five year old version of her new body.
[So let me get this straight. You are some scientist from another world that got reincarnated into this one. You know my name because in your world this world was something like a story]
'That is right. I know its kinda hard to believe but all the proof you need is that we are talking right now'
[Or someone else took the body of a newborn through a forbidden jutsu]
'Or that' Silence ensued as neither knew what to say now. As they thought, Tomoka decided to gamble and tell a few things she knew to Kurama to try and get his trust.
'How about this. I will tell you something that no one should know about'
[sure go ahead]
Tomoka began talking about the ten tails and how he and his brothers and sisters were once part of it. She talked about Kaguya and Hagoromo. The more she talked the more disturbed Kurama looked.
'So do you believe me now?' Truth be told, Kurama didn't believe her at all. After all, the things she said were a little… unsettling if true. However, he decided against antagonizing her. With the amount of knowledge she possessed she could be a formidable enemy.
[Not really but there is nothing I can do about it. However, I must ask… What are you planning to do with all that information] Kurama squinted his eyes.
'Nothing, that is my answer. I do not plan to do anything with it. I am not dumb I know how dangerous the ten tails is not to mention Kaguya. However, I can tell you right here right now that if this world follows the same plot I know Kaguya will be brought back. That's why I would like for you to cooperate with me so we can survive this ordeal'
A while of silent staring later Kurama made his decision.
[Fine, but don't think for even a moment that we are friends. As soon as I deem our deal unbeneficial to me I am out]
'Sure sure'
Like that the discussion came to an end. Soon after, Tomoka fell asleep. She was completely exhausted. She was a newborn after all. Newborns aren't supposed to go through what she went through.
Inside the Hokague's office Hiruzen sat with a deep frown on his face. The fourth died and now he had to take back the mantle. To tell the truth he would have prefered to die instead of Minato. Not like it mattered the paperwork would kill him soon enough.
Report after report piled on his desk as he tried his best to read them and give orders accordingly. The catastrophe had subsided but the problems didn't. The village had been weakened and now he had to think of a way to remedy the situation. He needed konoha to show a strong front so the other nations would not attack them.
"I am too old for this" Hiruzen sighed as he massaged his temples trying to shoo away the headache that he could feel coming.
In another location, Danzo was fuming. He had expected the situation to become a great opportunity for him to take the position as hokage but Hiruzen had to ruin everything. The old bastard had to go and retake the mantle. Danzo couldn't curse Hiruzen enough. At least there was a silver lining.
With the incident's origin taking place in the Uchiha's compound he could make tensions rise between the Uchiha and the village. Not to mention that it was well known amongst the council that only a powerful sharingan could control the kyuubi. With this, he could accuse the Uchiha of plotting a coup d'etat.
The night had passed and dawn shone upon the village. However, as the light of the sun shone the dark shadows made their appearance. Troubled times were ahead and no one but a shity brat and a grumpy fox knew.
Life continued, a year has gone by since the kyuubi attack. As of now Tomoka is able to walk albeit with wobbly steps. After the incident her parents became very protective of her. As shinobis of the village they knew that Tomoka would be looked down on due to having a bijuu sealed inside of her. Himiko and Nagi would pamper her and spoil her. Any other kid would have been spoiled rotten by now.
On the other hand Tomoka had made a deal with Kurama. Thanks to that they trusted each other a lot now and it could even be said they were friends. Though Kurama would always deny it.
-flash back-
"Hey Kurama, I have a deal for you" A smug Tomoka stood in front of Kurama's seal.
[What do you want, brat. Even though I agreed to help you I never gave you permission to use my name]
"Come on Kurama, we will be stuck with each other until I die so it's best for us to get friendly with each other, don't you think?"
[As if I want to be friends with a human]
"Well I want to at least try 'cause I would rather not have a grumpy and unfriendly fox as my roommate for the rest of my life. There is nothing I can do about the grumpy part tho"
[How about you leave me alone, I won't listen to another word you say]
"Oh and here I was thinking about removing that seal for you buddy. It must be quite uncomfortable. Oh well, nothing to do here then, bye"
At those words Kurama's ears perked up. It was indeed very uncomfortable. Not to mention that without the seal he could break free whenever he wanted. He didn't know what Tomoka was planning but as long as she removed the seal it wouldn't matter.
[I am listening, what is your proposal?]
"Nothing much really. All I want is for you to promise not to escape and kill me and I will remove the seal, I promise"
[What makes you believe I won't break my word and escape right after?]
"It's simple, I have seen enough of you from my past life to know that you won't break a promise you make. You hate humans and would rather not do what they do, that is backstabbing each other"
Kurama remained silent for a moment. He hated Tomoka's guts but she was right. As long as he gave his word he would not go back on it. At least not as long as the other party did the same.
[Fine I promise to not try to break out, kill you, or try and take control of your body]
"That's all I needed to hear" With a bright smile Tomoka moved forward to remove the seal. She was gambling with her life here. As soon as she removed the seal her life would be in Kurama's hands. However, she still decided to go through with it. If she managed to befriend Kurama then she would have a huge head start.
As her hand began pulling the seal paper a hand caught her wrist. to her left Minato appeared with a stern look.
"Tomoka-chan I don't know what Kyuubi told you but he is lying. As soon as you remove that seal he will try to escape and you will die" Tomoka was surprised for a moment until she recalled that this also happened in the original naruto story.
"Relax Minato-san, Kurama has given his word that he won't and he never goes back on his word" Tomoka smiled towards Minato. For a moment Minato was caught off guard as her bright red hair and smile reminded him of Kushina.
Taking advantage of his distraction Tomoka pulled off the seal. However, a problem remained. Even though the seal had been weakened due to her pulling it off. She didn't have the key to completely remove it.
"What are you doing Tomoka! If you release the Kyuubi you will die, Don't you understand!" Minato was in a panic as he saw Kyuubi standing up inside the cage. He prepared himself for combat. Even though right now he was just a construct made from his chakra that remained in the seal he believed he should be able to re-seal kyuubi.
[Oi kid, you don't have the key right?]
"Hahaha, oops that part went over my head, sorry!"
[Doesn't matter, I should be able to finish breaking the seal though it will be very painful]
"Go ahead then I don't mind a little pain"
"Tomoka! stop this fool's errand. You need to resist the Kyuubi!" Minato's panic was at an all time high. He might be able to re-seal kyuubi with the chakra he had but that is only if Tomoka aids him in doing so.
Before Minato could think of a plan he saw Kyuubi slamming his body against the kage that represented the seal. As he did, cracks began appearing in the bars of Kyuubi's cell. In panic Minato began his attempt at containing Kyuubi but Tomoka stood in front of him.
"Minato-san please stop, this is my decision. I trust Kurama to keep his words so I will have to stop you if you wish to interfere"
Minato could see the sheer determination in Tomoka's eyes. At this point there wasn't much he could do but watch and hope for a good outcome.
"I see. I hope you know what you are doing" Having said that, he relaxed his stance and instead looked towards Kyuubi, no, Kurama.
Soon enough Kurama's giant body slammed against the cage for the second time. The cracks spread further and for sure the cage would break with a third impact. At that moment Minato realized he could release the seal himself. However, it was too late now. Kurama's body slammed the cage for the third time, breaking the seal completely.
As soon as the cage broke Tomoka felt pain, a lot of it. If she had to describe the pain it was akin to breaking a few bones.
"No kidding, this is painful"
[Told you it would be]
"Are you alright Tomoka-chan"
"Yeah, it's just a little pain, nothing much"
After that the three began talking. Tomoka told Minato about the bijus and how they weren't mindless beasts. Minato apologized to Kurama and Kurama did the same albeit reluctantly. A few moments later Minato's chakra ran out and so he disappeared from Tomoka's mindscape.
"That went well. Yo, Kurama, how does it feel to be free or kinda free I guess"
[Not bad actually. My body was getting stiff from not moving for so long]
"Glad to hear. Though this place still looks as gloomy and shity as always" As she commented she looked around. The place looked like a sewer.
[You will need to train your mind if you want to change your mindscape]
"Guess that's on the bucket list now… partner"
[Please don't]
For the last year Tomoka has been training in secret like there was no tomorrow. The amount of pain she put her body through was inhuman. However, it could not compare to what she experienced in the chaos of time and space.
[You have my respect, kid. By now even veteran shinobi would have given up this crazy training]
'It's just a little pain Kurama, Nothing I can't handle'
[I don't think having your body melt from my chakra can be considered as just a little pain]
That's right, Tomoka had been taking Kurama's chakra daily. She would take in as much as she could which would cause her body to experience pain equivalent to bathing in acid while also drinking acid.
Thanks to this insane form of training at just one year old she is able to use one tenth of the chakra equivalent to a tail from Kurama without receiving damage. Slowly but surely her body was adapting to Kurama's corrosive chakra. Kurama believed that if she continued at this rate she should be able to use all his chakra by the age of fifteen.
'You know Kurama. I have experienced worse. This much is nothing really'
[I don't even want to know what could be worse than this.]
The two would often banter about this and that since neither had others to talk to. For starters Kurama could only talk to Tomoka since he was kindra trapped inside her. Tomoka on the other hand had to pretend to be a one year old kid. Even though she could already talk fluently she could not go ahead and display her full repertoire of skills and knowledge.
'Hey Kurama, can you teach me a jutsu or two?'
[Tomoka, what makes you think I would know human jutsus? Why would I learn something like that?]
'Right… well nothing lost by asking'
Tomoka didn't expect Kurama to know any from the beginning but as she said there is nothing lost by asking. If she wanted to learn a jutsu she would need to ask her parents. However doing so would be extremely troublesome. For starters she would have to show them that her chakra was already unlocked. Even if she did, the chances of her parents accepting were pretty much none.
Instead Tomoka decided to experiment by herself. She would be properly trained by the age of four so no rush there. Today's experiment consisted of acceleration and release of chakra. The concept was simple. She would accelerate her chakra inside her body before releasing it through her hands or feet. The idea was simple. If she released it through her hands as she punches or kicks something the attack would be further strengthened by the release of the chakra.
[Kid I don't think that's a good idea]
'Why so?'
[If you lose control of the chakra or release it through the wrong tenketsu point you could damage your body]
'It will be fine, don't worry about it'
[don't say I didn't warn you]
Tomoka disregarded Kurama's advice as she stood in front of a tree in a less crowded part of the park. First she began to speed up the flow of chakra in her body. Second she began compressing the chakra as well. A couple of seconds later there was a large clump of chakra moving at high speeds through Tomoka's body.
Keeping the entire process stable was already taxing her concentration but she wouldn't give up at this point. Using the last of her concentration Tomoka took a striking stance before thrusting her right fist forward. Just as her fist was about to connect with the tree she released the clump of accelerated chakra.
Bam!*
The impact of the chakra was equivalent to a canon. The tree's trunk exploded as the tree fell backwards. However, that wasn't all. Just as Kurama feared, some of the chakra was released from the wrong tenketsu points. Tomoka's arm suffered from multiple smaller explosions on her tenketsu points further from her skin. The outcome? Multiple chunks of flesh missing from her arm.
"Fuck that hurts! My fucking arm looks like swiss chees! It really fucking hurts!" Not being able to contain her voice due to the pain, Tomoka started screaming. It's already a miracle she didn't pass out from the pain or the sight.
[Stupid brat! I told you it was a bad idea!] Kurama was also panicking; he might not admit it but he had gotten attached to Tomoka.
Not wasting any time, Tomoka took off her shirt and used it as bandages for her arm. Thankfully she had an undershirt or she would have been topples otherwise. Not that it matters, a one year old girl's upper body looked no different from a boy's. After doing that she began sprinting towards the street. Thankfully she had explored the village before so she knew where the nearest hospital was at.
Now, you may be wondering why neither of her parents was supervising her. Simple, she snuck out. As of now she is supposed to be taking her mid day nap.
Thanks to the adrenalin Tomoka's pain subsided a little and a minute of running at full speed while using her chakra as well she got to the hospital. As soon as she went through the door she approached the nearest nurse and unbandaged her arm showing it to her.
A chorus of gasps could be heard around but not from the nurse or her colleagues. They acted quickly taking her to an emergency ward to conduct surgery.
