Pain. Unimaginable pain. Such pain is being felt right now by one name Naruto Uzumaki. Why you say? Well, one will feel such pain when a sealing jutsu backfired on your face.
Naruto Uzumaki. Number one hyperactive ninja. Child of prophecy. Reincarnation of Asura Ōtsutsuki. And Jinchūriki of the nine-tailed fox, Kurama. Well, that is, in a matter of minutes, that would be now Jinchūriki of the Juubi. That is, if he survives that is…
During the final battle between Good and Evil. Goddess vs. Mortal men. Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha was about to seal Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the mother of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths. When the sealing jutsu was about to seal Kaguya, the jutsu backfired on them and latched itself onto Naruto. Thus, his predicament right now.
"AAAAHHHGGGG!"
"Naruto! Hold on! Don't you die on me!" Shouted Kurama.
"K-Kurama… I can't… It hurts so much…" Said Naruto.
"Goddamnit, Naruto! You can do this! We can do this! I'll share your burden. I'll pull the Jūbi into me. Just don't die!"
"T-Then let's do this Kurama!"
"Right!"
"RAAAAAAAAHHHHHGGGG!" "RAAAAAAAAHHHHHGGGG!"
Outside of this, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi could only watch their blonde teammate scream into the heavens, unable to do anything but pray to kami that Naruto could pull it through.
Then the unthinkable happened.
Naruto's chakra skyrocketed to unimaginable proportions. Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi could feel the gargantuan pressure push them down emanating from the blonde. The very air they breathe was saturated with chakra. The skies then darken, the winds howl in anger, the very earth where they stand was shaking. And then silence.
Their blonde teammate dropped to the ground with a loud thump.
Sakura ran to Naruto, along with Kakashi and Sasuke. Sakura then turn over Naruto to his back and put his head on her lap, before she used her Mystical Palm Technique to check Naruto for any damages or abnormalities. To her horror. Their blonde friend and teammate. Is dead.
Darkness. Only darkness he could see. Not even his hands, feet, or body he could see. Where am I? Why am I here? What the hell happened?
"You died, Naruto. That is why you are here" Said a disembodied voice.
"I… died? But… Kurama. Me and Kurama…" Answered Naruto.
"Yes. You and Kurama. You saved them. You both saved the whole elemental nations from a fate worse than death"
"Heh. If he was here, he would be cursing his heart out. Knowing he saved the very nations that imprisoned him"
"Damn straight" answered a deep and thundering voice.
"Kurama? I'm glad you're still alive! I thought you'd be released now that I'm dead and all" said Naruto.
"Same here, Kit. But enough of this. Why don't you show yourself, tou-san" said Kurama.
"Hagoromo-jiji is here?" asked Naruto, still can't see anything.
"My, My. Impatient as always, Kurama. And yes, Naruto. I'm here. And I owe you both an explanation" Answered Hagoromo.
"Explanation? For what?" Asked Naruto.
"For starters, the reason why you can't see is because your eyes are still adapting. And your body is changing" Answered Hagoromo.
"Adapting? Changing? What do you mean?"
"I'll explain it in due time. But first. Kurama, how are you feeling?"
"Better than ever, tou-san. Better than ever" Answered Kurama, feeling his new-found power coursing through his veins.
"Why? What's the matter with Kurama?" asked Naruto. Still trying to open his eyes.
"There's nothing wrong with him, Naruto. Far from it actually"
"Huh?"
"Out with it, tou-san. You owe us both an explanation on why you pull us here"
"Fine. Can an old man have fun for once in his eternal life?"
"…"
"…"
"Never mind… Anyways, the reason you are here Naruto, along with Kurama, is that I want you both to meet someone"
"Who is it?" Asked Kurama, with Naruto nodding to him.
Naruto could hear something walking up to them. Judging from the sound of the footsteps, it was a person. The said person stopped walking and then it spoke, "Hello Naruto, Kurama. It's nice to finally meet you two in person. Hagoromo holds you both in high regards"
Naruto raised an eyebrow, despite not being able to see anything for a while. "Uhmm, hi? Who might you be?"
"Oh. Forgive me, Naruto. My name is God, Former leader of the Judeo-Christian Religion"
God. Former leader of the Judeo-Christian religion. Father of the Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils. Towering at six foot two, has deep sky blue eyes, alabaster white skin, and long blonde hair that was tied in a ponytail. He wears a white business suit with gold trimmings and gold tie.
"God? As in Kami? And what do you mean former?" Asked Naruto.
God could only chuckle before answering, "Close, but no. Just God. And former because, for the lack of better word, I died"
Now that was a surprise.
"You died? How?"
God sighed tiredly before answering, "War. War could do that to a person, even for the likes of me"
Naruto was silent for a moment before an aura of maturity engulf the blonde. He then asked "Explain"
'I like this kid' Thought God, before answering, "You see, it all started when I casted out the angels that opposed my teachings. My sons and daughters. My creations. They allowed themselves to be corrupted. Then came the angels who allowed themselves to fall from their sins. Hence the birth of Fallen Angels. The ones who fall from their sins are called Fallen Angels. The one's who I casted out for opposing me are called devils" He have this faraway look, before continuing, "I thought we could live in peace, but their sins had grown into something worse. Pride, Greed, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth, Envy, and Wrath. Those seven deadly sins grew so much in them, they could not control it anymore. Hence, the war started" His face was now a look of sadness and regret before he added, "At first it was just us Angels and Devils. After years of fighting, the Fallen Angels join the fray. During those years, the fallen angels called themselves the Grigori. Lead by one of my fallen sons, Azazel. With the Devils, they were led by the four great satans. The war lasted for many, many years, until that fateful day. It was supposed to be me against my eldest son, but I didn't count on bringing the other three. We battled for days. Trading blows after blows. Blades after blades. In the end, I won against them. But the wounds I gained from the fight were too great for me. After I transferred my leadership to my successor, I finally succumb to my injuries"
"I'm sorry it had to go that way, God. But forgive when I say that, it was all your fault in the first place"
"I know. If it wasn't for Hagoromo, I wouldn't even think of it that is was my fault"
"So, why do you want to meet us? I'm sure meeting us isn't the only reason you're here" Said Naruto.
"You're right, that's not the only reason. I'm here because I'm asking for your help in bringing peace into my world"
Naruto was stunned. A deity was asking for his help. A fucking deity!
"M-Me? Why me? Of all the people in the world to choose from, why me?"
"Because you, Naruto. Is special. Believe it or not, you're incorruptible. You make friends wherever you went. Heck, you can even turn the ones who have fallen, back to good. So that's why I chose you, Naruto. There's no one better than you. You are the key to make my world a better place"
Naruto was in deep thought by this point. This is a once in a life time opportunity. On the bright side, he could start anew in this new world. Sure, he has to gain new friends, not that it would be a problem for the blonde. But what about his friends here? Will he would be able to return? What about his dream of being hokage? There's so much to think about, and so little time. It's now or never. Leave, for the betterment of a new world? Or stay. There's only one question he would be asking, and that would be… "If I agreed to this, will I ever go back here in the elemental nations?"
"I'm afraid not, Naruto. You would be staying there forever" 'Not unless you mastered your powers…' Said Hagoromo, while looking at him with sympathy.
"Oh…" Naruto looked down in sadness. He was leaving his home. His friends. His love ones… to a world that is needed of saving. A world that's in need of Naruto Uzumaki.
"I'm sorry, Naruto. You are the only one who could save this world from its own destruction. Which is why Kurama is here to accompany you on your mission to bring peace into this world"
From that mere sentence, the blonde brightens up before he heard his partner and friend said, "It would be my pleasure accompanying you in this new… adventure, Naruto. Besides, this could be fun!"
Naruto smiled at his partner and friend, before raising up his hand and balled it into a fist.
Kurama smiled before he to, bringing up his own hand and bumped fist with Naruto.
"I take it it's a yes then?" Asked God with a smile.
"Yes, God. I'll do whatever it takes to bring peace into this world" Said Naruto, before Hagoromo suddenly spoke, "Now that's out of the way. Naruto, it's time to open your eyes"
Naruto raised again an eyebrow before he tried to open his eyes. To his surprise, his eyelids slowly opened and for the first time in his life, everything was clear. Like he has perfect eyesight. He could see things as far as his eye could see and still he could see it clearly. No blurriness. To make it better, his body felt… amazing. Powerful, even. He then looked at Hagoromo and asked, "Why do I feel like there's something… different about me, Hagoromo-jiji"
Hagoromo smiled at Naruto before saying, "Look at your eyes, Naruto"
Naruto widen his eyes before Hagoromo conjured a mirror before giving it to Naruto. Naruto looked at his reflection and his jaws dropped to the ground. Hard. "I-Its… H-How…"
"You're the new Jūbi Jinchūriki, Naruto. And Kurama is the new Jūbi"
Hearing this, Naruto suddenly snapped his head to Kurama's direction. And to his surprise, Kurama really is the new Jūbi. Gone was his nine tails. Now, it's ten tails. His size grew even more gigantic. His very being was radiating power like no other. And his eyes are the same with Naruto.
"I can't believe it… I'm actually the new Jūbi Jinchūriki…" Said Naruto in awe.
"You control the most powerful Dōjutsu in the elemental nations, Naruto. I trust you will be responsible in using this" Explained Hagoromo.
Naruto straighten up and once again, gone was the knucklehead ninja. In was the veteran Naruto of the 4th shinobi world war. "I understand Hagoromo-jiji"
"Now, I'll be explaining what your Dōjutsu could do. You basically control every Rinnegan and Sharingan eye techniqes. Even the mangekyō sharingan. Your body also adjusted to Kurama's more potent chakra, so you might want to train your body again to get used to it" Naruto nodded at Hagoromo's explanation before Hagoromo gesture for him to come closer.
Hagoromo then raised his hand and touched Naruto's forehead before saying, "Now, I'm going to transfer every jutsu in every element I know to you. Use it well" Before Naruto was flooded with information. 'Sunnavabitch! feels like the time I accidentally dispelled 20 clones when I was training with Pervy-sage!'
After the knowledge transfer was done, Naruto was approached by God, then he spoke, "Naruto, before we transport you to this new world. I would like you to meet somebody" He then gestured Naruto, along with Kurama and Hagoromo to follow him.
They walked for a while, before they saw at the distance a flying red… dragon? Huh, that's new.
They stopped walking before the red dragon descended from its flight, landing in front of them.
"Naruto, Kurama, Hagoromo, I want you all to meet Ddraig, the red dragon emperor" Said God, gesturing them to Ddraig.
"[Greetings, I'm Ddraig, the red dragon emperor]" Introduced Ddraig.
"Hello"
"Hey"
"Sup"
Naruto, Kurama, and god stared at Hagoromo with deadpanned expressions. Hagoromo could only say, "What?"
Sighing tiredly, God then explained, "Naruto, as a gift for accepting my favor. Ddraig will also accompany you as your own sacred gear, the Boosted Gear. As of this moment, not only you are the new Jinchūriki of the Jūbi. You are now the new Sekiryuutei"
Ddraig let out a primal roar before bowing to Naruto, saying, "[It will be an honor, fighting alongside such a powerful warrior of your caliber, Naruto. What say you? Partner?]"
Naruto bowed also to Ddraig before answering, "The honor is mine, Ddraig. I hope we can work together, along with Kurama over here, to bring peace to your world. Our world. Together, Partner" Naruto then raised his right arm and formed a fist, pointing at Ddraig.
Ddraig chuckled deeply, before he too raised his scaly right hand and fist bump with Naruto. He then said, "[Yes! Let us work together, partner. And you too, Kurama]"
"I may not like this sharing and all that crap. But yes, let's work together" Answered Kurama.
"Good. I'd rather have you both as friends rather than bickering amongs yourselves" Said Naruto, to which Hagoromo and Kurama looked at him with raised eyebrows. "What?" Said Naruto.
"Oh, Nothing" "Oh, Nothing"
God could only chuckle at the scene in front of him before straightening himself and said, "Now that you three are all acquainted, Ddraig, if you will"
Ddraig nodded before he was enveloped with crimson light, blinding Naruto, Kurama, and Hagoromo. After the light died down, Ddraig has transformed into a red gauntlet, with two yellow horns at the top, and a green gem embedded at the back of the palm. God then picked up the gauntlet and gestured Naruto to put it on.
Naruto walked up to God and picked up the red gauntlet before putting it on his right arm. "What now?" Asked Naruto.
"Now, I'll start binding Ddraig into you, and transfer my knowledge of my world into you. This may hurt a little" Said God, before he touched gauntlet with his left hand, with his right hand touching Naruto's chest. He then started to chant something that he couldn't understand and before he could blink, a golden magic circle appeared on where they stood. After ten minutes of golden light shows and one hell of a headache, the ritual was done.
"Anymore knowledge transfer you two will do to me?" Said Naruto sarcastically, while rubbing his head with his hand.
"That would be all, Naruto. I think you're all set and ready to go" Said Hagoromo.
"What about Kurama? Is he not going to be sealed in me?" Asked our blonde hero.
"Oh, he is already sealed in you. I just let him out for a bit via summon" Answered Hagoromo.
"Oh, okay" Said Naruto, before Kurama nodded at him and he disappeared in a cloud of smoke, returning to his seal.
"I'm all set, Hagoromo-jiji, God"
God and Hagoromo nodded at him before Hagoromo used one his Rinne-sharingan techniques to open a portal. "By the way, you can turn on or off your eyes just like the Sharingan. You just have to cut the chakra flow to your eyes" Said Hagoromo.
"And train with Ddraig when you get there. When you're at it, put up a barrier so that you won't draw any attention to you" Said God.
"I will. Thank you, Hagoromo-jiji, God! Till we meet again!" Said Naruto, before he walked up to the portal and entered inside. Leaving God and Hagoromo to themselves.
Both were silent, before God said, "Do you think he could, do it?"
Without looking at God, He answered with a smile, "Believe me, my good friend. He will deliver. He isn't called the number one unpredictable ninja for nothing"
"I really hope so…"
