Chapter 1: beginnings of eternity
"I find it amusing that every race in existence has or will reach the point in evolution that they'll find babies in onesies absolutely cute."
"But, I found it odd that when a primitive species had children my kin gave them evolutionary traits. Guess in a way that my kin and I have reached a point that a bundle of strings are not good enough to be a gift from us. Is that arrogance or something else entirely who knows… well i do, but where's the fun in telling you."

There hasn't been many things NamiKaze Minato has regretted but tonight has him double guessing his choice in career. Why might you ask? That's eazy the sight in front of him is the greatest example to the suffering he SIGNED himself up for, and the smug look he was getting from the Sandaime wasn't making it any better. It was like he was asking to be made a fool. "Fuck it" the blond Hokage thought, grinning like a mad man Minato as if breathing and no hand seals he preformed an seal-less kage bunshin, about ten copies of the blond Kage left the office to get more tables and chairs to do the paper work. Glancing toward his predecessor to see his eyes wide in befuddlement with an indignant comment on his tongue.
Before a syllable could leave his lips the surroundings changed, the vibrant atmosphere dimmed as a cold feeling settled in the air. The presence felt primeval, something or someone that can't be understood by their simple minds. It sent shivers down their spines, but through the cold and eerie atmosphere they could feel the gentle parental aura.
"Greetings my children." an old masculine voice whispered into the two Hokage's minds, making them tense and maneuvering their bodies to where they could move in a moment's notice. The whispers in their minds chuckle in amusement. 'Fret not my children, I've come in peace. I'll be honest with you, I created your race for a purpose that is important to the Universe as a whole."
The two men damn near choked, they were conversing with the creator of the human race. The only thing that was confusing is why are they talking to them, and what purpose did their race hold. Another reason is the reason to even communicate with them in the first place. Nervous, the youngest of the two questioned the voice out of curiosity rather than fear. "I understand we have a purpose and all, but why show yourself now?"
The whispers chuckled softly in the minds of the two. "Aw, yes. the why? That's simple, I have deemed you worthy of these." As if it was always there and an extra bookshelf appeared along the wall behind Minato.
"That shelf contains knowledge that your race would have taken another 30-40 years to discover let alone fully understand or develop properly. I believe you two will be the best pioneers for technology development." Continued, the whispers within their minds. The two men looked at the shelf in awe as the two most intelligent shinobi of konoha, not counting the Nara anyway, were salivating at the thought of getting their hands on that knowledge. Before the two could voice any questions the whispers interrupted their thoughts. "No strings attached, I just want to help ensure my creations have what you need to survive the coming conflicts. Plus your race is finally reaching the next step in evolution… enjoy the new knowledge my beloved Eternals."
The oppressive presence receded from their minds, making both Minato and Hiruzen shiver. "I believe we have a lot to process tonight, but that can wait. I have a date with new fancy books that are just asking to be read."
"Agreed."

Location: Konohagakure no Sato, Hi no Kuni Namikaze household.
It had been six years since Kurama attacked the village, and it has recovered and so have the wounds of the people. Many still resent Kurama, but Naruto… on the other hand. Well for his son, the same couldn't be said, Naruto his son revived the dead. Hundreds of souls were returned to this land in full health, it really boggles the mind a mere infant not out of whom for an hour willed the primordial roots of the Shinju to subjugate Kurama in an enraged state,and bring back the dead. "Well… at least he's not hated by the village." Said the yellow flash, his gaze held nervousness as his wife had her piercing glare trained on him.
The mother sighed, and rubbed the back of her head while her line of sight flicked towards a small clone of her husband playing with a globb of floating water. Her son did her dirty by using his cuteness to trick her into unlocking his chakra and teaching him how to use it. "I know… but I don't want my little baby boy to be spoiled by the village."
Minato chuckled, then smiled his kind smile. "Don't worry dear, while you have been out on missions lately I've had Kakashi accompany Naruto throughout the village." Minatos' smile widened while following his wife's line of sight, watching his son play with the water by controlling the water nature chakra using it to bend and twist the life giving liquid to his will. "Naruto loves his time with his Kaka-nii, and the villagers love interacting with him not just because of his powers to revive the dead, but for the kindness he shows to others around him. I've watched him play and help around the orphanages around the village. The boy has friends everywhere." With an evil grin forming on his face at the words he was about to say, with utmost confidence he continued. "The only thing I'm worried about is our son's Chastity." He cackled evilly within the safe confines of his mind at the horrified expression that blossomed across her beautiful face. He didn't stop there as he continued to speak. "All the love struck little girls that fon over him whenever he's around. His kind smile usually has the effect of melting their tiny hearts."
"Raaaaa, not happening dattebane! No little hussy is taking my little Naru-Chan away from me!!!" Raged the female Uzumaki, as she stomped over to her baby boy and snatched him up into her arms making the young boy yelp with the water he was controlling fell to the floor. Sitting down not minding the water, Kushina with little Naruto in her lap nuzzled the crown of his golden tresses. The poor boy looked confused and embarrassed as he was trying wriggling out of his mothers possessive grip.
"Mahah" the older blond laughed at his sons' plight, and his wife's over protective, possessiveness of Naruto. Hearing his dads' laughter the chibi blond glared at him with the intensity of a small cuddly animal. Not missing this chance he hurriedly pulled out a rectangle shaped object that had the thickness that was less than his index finger. One side had a reflective surface while the rest was encased within some type of composite material. Double tapping the mirror surface, and a image of him with his family appearing causing him to smile lovingly. The image had six figures, on the left side there was a tall and broad man that had long spiky white hair held in a ponytail. The man's eyes shined with happiness if one couldn't see that the massive grin on the man's face said everything. He had his arm slung around the figure next to him which was Minato himself who was holding little Naruto in his arms. On the right is a woman of great beauty, she has blond hair that is split and tied into two pigtails. She held a young girl with white hair. Next to the two was Kushina who had the biggest grin on her face. Smiling, Minato remembered that day fondly, but he had to stay on track. Tapping and sliding through the devices options until he came across a box that looked like a camera.
Tapping the image, the display changed to show the scene in front of him. Rapidly he tapped a circle like button on the bottom center of the display. Sighing in satisfaction Minato scrolled from right to left, he enjoyed the gifts their mysterious creator left for them to have. "That reminds me, Kazahana-San has sent me an invitation to his daughter's 9th birthday, maybe we should make a family trip out of it. He did say I could bring my family and three guards."
"Minato-kun, What are you doing?" Asked his wife in a sweet tone.
Minato grinned, his oceanic blue eyes stared lovingly at his wife and child. "What? I can't take pictures of my beautiful family, let alone my son's adorable glare he gave me, it reminds me so much of you." Getting up from his seat the blond man made his way over to his wife and son, a broad grin stretched across his face when his words sunk in her head.
Kushina was blushing hard while holding her son tightly, tucking her head down so neither of her boys could see her embarrassment. "Damn that casto nova, him and his honey sweet words." Those same honey sweet words always found a way to make her shy and for her love to always grow for the wonderful man she married.
Minato grinned more, he loved his wife some and seeing her like this made her even more beautiful for him, but the next thing he was gonna say made him cackle in his mind. "Naruto-kun." He said slyly. "Do you remember the assignment you had to do in the academy, and you came to me to help you because you were too embarrassed to have your mother help." The yondaime watched in amusement as his wife's head perked up as his son went a solid shade of red and tried to curl up to hide his face.
Mumbling could be heard from the five year old that made his mother start giggling and blush even harder.
"It's not my fault Ka-Chan's red hair is super pretty, why's Tou-Chan so mean."
Kushina couldn't help herself, her baby boy was such a sweetheart and she loved his kind little heart. She squealed as pulled him in tighter. "Awe my Naru-Chan is so cute!"
Minato chuckled, his wife had been ecstatic to have children due to their lives as orphans. The day she found out she was pregnant was the day her dream came true. Everyone in the village heard her excited yelling, squealing. At that time they were living in a small apartment building while they waited on their new clan compound to be built and if he was gonna be honest, the knowledge left by their creator was very useful on structure designs as well as more efficient building materials. He and the sandaime, Sarutobi Hiruzen had read and researched and put into practice many new creations. His favorite was the solar panels that collected sunlight for energy. "That reminds me, I need to get into contact with KazeKage. The sand from Kaze no Kuni is rich with materials. Hmm, I wonder what he's gonna ask for in return?" He pondered until he was brought out of his mind by a voice he knew so well.
"I see Kushina-Chan still smothers the poor boy." Chuckled an older masculine voice.
Turning his head to see his predecessor watching in fond amusement at mother son bonding time. "Don't let that little shit fool ya, he's eating up that attention like it's going out of style. He has her wrapped around his tiny finger." A grin forming on the blond Hokage's face as his eyes stare lovingly at his world.
Hiruzen smiled proudly at seeing the contentment his successor was emanating. This boy was something like a grandson as Jiraiya was a son. And now he had a great grandson to spoil, he watched the interactions between the mother and son and a happy grin on the blond's face. "Does she know about his little following?" Asked the older kage, his tone amused. "He had the Uchiha heiress, along with Hyuga heiress head over heels for the boy and their mothers find it absolutely adorable and let's not start on the Senju heiress…"
Minato grinned, while giving a sly smile towards Hiruzen. "Let me tell you something quite interesting."
Seeing the sly smile on the blonds face, one formed on his face as well. "Go on, but I think I know where this is going."
Minato cackled evilly only loud enough for the older kage to hear. "The Uzumaki clan has a strict clan restoration claws and I think Kushina-Chan forgot."
Hiruzen blushed a bit now seeing where this is going. "How many does he need?"
"The clan documents state if one male remains he must take 20 wives and if any women have Uzumaki genes doesn't matter the relation is required to be the first wife." Minato felt a part of him wither away and die saying that last part but continued quickly at the sight of Hiruzen about to go into a pervert fit at the thought. "I expunged that claws real quick as clan head. I'm not gonna dramatize my family with old laws, I'm also cutting down the number of wife's to 12 as well."
Hiruzen sighed, with an amusement smile stretching across his face. "I did fine the kink the Uzumaki clan had with incest quite amusing, I remember when Hashirama-sensei would tease his wife Mito-sama about it, with the Senju being so closely related to the Uzumaki." A fond smile formed on his face, as he continued. "I remember when they both found out they were half-siblings it was funny watching Mito-sama chasing Sensei around as he cackled as his teasing increased."
The blond Hokage choked, then started laughing hard. Wait, wait, wait, you're telling me that they were half siblings?" Calming his breaths Minato spoke. "I feel like you just jinxed me."
Hiruzen chuckled, laughed. "I don't know, maybe, with his luck he'll find some survivors, and get a little redheaded girlfriend."
For some odd reason he had a feeling that might just be true, so Minato just casually shoved that thought to the back of his mind.
Scene change
Up to the far North as events that will change the world forever are taking place. Within the winter landscape of Yuki no Kuni, among the country's ice and snow covered mountains a light humming sound could be heard for miles around. Then suddenly from the tallest mountain a beam of blue light streaked for the sky's wide expanse causing it to darken the normally light blue skies. The blue beam reached the stratosphere of the planet then dispersed into rippling dark blue light that spread around the world causing concern to many, but for Yuki no Kuni it was much worse.
The mountain that was the source of the light started to shake causing avalanches of snow, ice, and earth uncovering a massive metallic structure that touched the heavens at 40,000 feet. Leaving the country's people awed and terrified, but those feelings were overshadowed by whispers the country's people heard echoing in their minds that just led to confusion.
"Eternity has come! The rise of peace has begun! A soul bound to a soul of Nine is coming, his righteous spirit, fierce and protective, kind, and gentle. Beware those whose hearts are blackened with evil intentions, folly to those who step into his golden light."
