( AN )

oooookay, this is chapter 1 of the rewrite to my story: the rose that grew from concrete. This story will be a bit different and a couple of things will change.

- enjoy

Kaguya had just disappeared into another portal, and naruto was exhausted. It seemed like he'd been fighting for hours. He was near the point of falling over. He felt like he'd just run a marathon at full speed, but he couldn't give up, not now. It was crunch time and his friends needed him right now. He gathered his bearings and stayed alert, he was ready for anything.

Kaguya popped out of another portal, headed straight for him.

He immediately jumped to the side and charged a rasenshuriken.

He was baiting her, he wanted her to come to him

Kakashi jumped in front of her and she just disappeared again.

He looked above.

Nothing,

He looked to his left and right.

Nothing

so that just left-

Naruto suddenly channeled chakra into his feet and jumped as high as he could. But he was too late.

Kaguya came through grabbed him and they fell into another portal together.

What she didn't realize was that he had two high powered jutsu in both his hands

All she saw was a flash of blue light, And then Pain it was like she was being eaten alive by tiny bugs with shark like teeth all over her body.

It was almost like it lasted forever.

Naruto kept pumping more chakra into his jutsu, until he couldn't give it anymore.

He dropped to his knees in exhaustion, and with a bad case of chakra exhaustion.

Kaguya looked like a piece of crispy bacon, she was face down and she wasn't moving.

He just sat there for a second, trying to catch his breath. And then he saw her move, he was immediately alert.

She wasn't moving very fast, and she still looked pretty dead to him.

But he proceeded with caution, finally she had flipped over and was staring into the space above her.

He knew she was pretty harmless at this point, but he had questions.

He made his way over to her, still being very cautious, he finally made it over her body, her breath was very shallow but he could tell she was still alive.

He had one question,

"why?" He asked her.

At first it looked like she either didn't hear him ask her the question, or was dead and he was

Talking to a corpse. Finally she took a deep breath and said in a strained voice "when you live as long as I do, you start to see a pattern.

The pattern of hatred, it doesn't matter what you do, where you go, or who u meet.

There will always be an unbreakable cycle of violence. I thought my sons would be the ones to break the cycle of hate, but when they started fighting amongst themselves I knew the cycle would never end.

I just got so *Cough* Cough* mad. I've been in that damn moon for ages, I've been planning my return.

You may have stopped me now but I can still stop you from ever seeing your friends again."

At this point naruto was worried, he didn't have the energy for another fight and he could feel Kaguya charging all her chakra for some type of attack. At this point all he could do was wait and hope for the best, finally she said. "Good bye naruto" and before he even had time to move

A portal opened up right below him, he fell right through it and his vision went black

Naruto opened his eyes and he seemed to be on a table of some sort. The room was very very white. Almost like an angelic white, and he could hear voices but he could not see who those voices belonged too.

He tried to use his chakra to maybe sense who was there and suddenly his body exploded in pain.

There were two chakra suppression seals right on his Stomach.

It seemed that whoever held him here knew fūinjutsu

He then noticed that he was no longer wearing his ninja gear or his battle cloak, but instead he was dressed in a... white bath robe?

The clothing he was wearing looked like someone took the sheets off of a bed and just wrapped him in it.

He no longer had the time to be confused about his peculiar clothing anymore because he started to hear footsteps and voices coming towards him.

He tried to move, but whatever being placed him here put restraints on his legs and arms. He figured that whoever put him here could've killed him 1,000 times over if they wanted.

So he decided to just see how this played out

The footsteps got closer.

And closer

And closer

Until whoever was comimg down the hall stopped in front of the door.

His door

He braced himself.

The doorknob turned and there were 3 old women that walked into his room. And they were Old, Naruto gulped, The second old lady was knitting.

A very large pair of

socks?

She took out the largest pair of scissors he'd ever seen and cut the last thread of the sock.

And even in the moments long after she had snipped the thread from the sock. The sound of the scissors cutting the thread echoed in his ears

Naruto finally spoke. "What is this? Who are you? Where are my friends?

The old lady standing on the left slowly looked him in the eye, her gaze paralyzed him. It was as if she was looking in his very soul. This old lady was powerful. Naruto gulped again.

The old lady finally spoke, "We are very sorry Naruto. You were never meant to come here."

Naruto cut her off. "What!? Where is here!"

The old lady in the middle smiled. "If you would let me finish young one I will explain that shortly"

Naruto blushed and hid his face in his hands. "I'm sorry, please keep going"

The old lady continued "Thank you. Now as I was saying, We are very sorry that this has happened to you. I also know that you will want to return to your Home world soon. And I'm afraid that

that won't be possible.

It seems that after your fight with Kaguya otsutsuki she somehow used all the chakra and life energy she had to send you as far away from your dimension as possible.

So there would be no possibility for you to come back.

She also 'marked' you, which means that if u were to ever try to dimension jump again then you would die a very horrible death.

So be that as it may, you're an anomaly. And we've been given instructions on what to do with u. You might not like it but this is all we can do for you." suddenly her voice changed and all three old ladies became one floating entity surrounded by white light. When Naruto's eyes met hers and he was instantly put in a trance. She started

"You will go to Planet earth 600 years before the great conflict is to happen. A great change must occur to ensure that this incident can be dealt with."

Naruto kept trying to move, It was as if he was paralyzed.

"You will help the gods so that they can be powerful enough to face this mighty threat. Your DNA is very rare and precious, Your race was a very powerful people. This race has potential but they are very arrogant and will need guidance

We know that this will be a great burden to u and in return we will give u three gifts to help you in your journey."

Naruto was still skeptical, he didn't like being forced to do something, He wanted his friends back. He just wanted to go back to konoha, he only wanted to know one thing if he was to do this.

He tried to give the entity a sign or something. To let he/she know that he was just trying to talk

The entity looked confused for a second. And then it said,

"What"

Naruto asked his question.

"Are my friends going to be safe? Will konoha be safe?

The entity gave him a blank stare

And then it gave him a nod

"Your village and your friends will be fine"...

Naruto felt relieved that his friends and his village were going to be okay.

As he might never see them again

"We will be giving you three gifts to help you with your journey.

The entity then appeared right in front on naruto with its hand on his forehead.

Naruto could feel how powerful the entity was when it came close to him. Naruto had to close his eyes as all he felt was raw, unlimited, power.

When he opened his eyes again he felt a certain absence inside of him. The ball of light in the entity's hand became

Brighter

And brighter

And brighter

And his body felt much lighter and his vision went to

Black.
