Summary: There must be some sort of mistake or sick joke, I was supposed to go all the way to the afterlife, not reborn into some 'Naruto Phenex' douchebag who is nothing more than an arrogant rich and unlikeable asshole whose life and personalities are completely different than I ever was… and what's up with all these Factions' stuffs and that crimson haired weirdo he/I was engaged to?

'Kurama' Demon/Monster/Bijuu Thought.

June 21st, 1997

Well, in one way or another, this is the first day of my journal… I'm really not the kind of guy who will sit down and write a journal, but I think it would be wise to have one right now, to keep track on with my new life.

I know my life was weird, but with how it turned out after everything, I can only blame Kami for not letting me rest…

It has been months and literally.

Somehow, I became a spoiled, arrogant rich and unlikable douchebag asshole with an ego bigger than Kurama, plus a holier-than-(even the Hyuuga)thou attitude.

I also got myself a shoulder full of bad reputations… a playboy is one of them.

In addition, I became someone complete opposite of what I ever was.

But hey, look at the bright side, it is really not that hard for me to rebuild 'my' reputations.

And also, I can control fire now! (Suck it Sasuke! Wherever you are right now!).

The Uzumaki Phenex

Arc 1: From Uzumaki to Phenex

Chapter 1

Uzumaki to Phenex

He didn't know death was this painful.

Some 'wise' old geezers said death was as peaceful as a very, very long sleep, but he could prove them wrong by what he was feeling right now.

The moment he closed his eyes and let himself rest for the first time in his life, all he knew was the pain. He didn't feel anything at first. He almost died once when Obito extracted Kurama from his body, but it was nothing like this. He was no one, yet his consciousness was still there, his strength, his five senses had disappeared for a brief second, then the pain came, every single cell in his entire body screamed at him. Unending agony, something that he had never experienced before.

Naruto tried to scream but found himself unable to. Even if he could, he wouldn't be able to feel his throat, which felt like it was being torn apart by an unseen force.

Then, after what felt like hours, the pain disappeared like it was never there in the first place. Peaceful respite flooded his body as he was pulled free from the world of pain when sweet relief came to the limbs.

Naruto finally felt at ease.

However, even with his eyes close, he knew something wasn't right.

A strong feeling of natural energy suddenly washed through his body, telling that he was still alive.

He was still alive…

There was only one thing, one single word, one single question in his mind at the moment.

How?

Line Break

Naruto's mind was slowly beginning to kick back into gear when consciousness started to spread over his senses. His eyes twitched as he struggled to think back over what happened. He was on his bed, surrounded by his children and grandchildren, telling them his final wishes, wishing them to stay strong and taking care of his legacies with a smile on his face. He had a hard life, but glorious and better than everything he could ever ask for.

But every person, even the greatest heroes had to meet their end. His name would live forever but he would never.

Hinata, Sasuke, Sakura… they all passed away before him, taking the next step in their journey. Death was undeniable, unavoidable… Only the crazy would think about cheating death and Naruto was never one like that.

So, he let his life went normally. He grew old after a century, for the first time became sick and finally met his end.

Then suddenly, he felt alive again.

Groaning, Naruto tried to move his fingers to test his theory. Even with his youthful strength back, for an unknown reason, he was still pretty weak and could only move a few muscles. There was something very soft under his body, perhaps it was a bed. Forcing all his willpowers into muscle power, Naruto pulled his eyelids up, causing a blurry world to come into his view.

Everything was very blurry at first, so he shut his eyes tight and shook his head to try to clear the fogginess.

Naruto then opened his eyes once again and the place became much clearer. The first thing he saw, was a ceiling with a very odd design, almost fancy in his opinion. Glancing around, Naruto realised that he was in some kind of very luxurious room, again with the strange designs that he had never seen before in his life. Even the furniture in this room, like tables, chairs, desks were designed oddly. The bed, which he was lying on, was extremely comfortable and the pillow he was resting his head on was very soft.

It didn't take it long for him to realise that he wasn't at his home, on his bed for his final moment.

The only conclusion he could come up with was that it was probably some sick joke, he was involved in a scheme, or he just didn't know.

What kind of sick people would put an over century-year-old man into a fancy looking room and gave him some youthful pills that not even in their dreams Gai and Lee could get their hand on, so he could feel young and strong again, suspending his death? They had really made a very big mistake because as soon as he found out what was going on and who they were, he was going to kill them for sure.

"Naruto-sama, Are you awake?" Suddenly, Naruto then heard a soft voice that could only belong to a girl before he felt a pair of hands resting on his body, one on his chest and another on his head.

He couldn't recognise her voice, but was very eager to find out who she was.

So, he slowly opened his eyes and this time, his view was clear and the girl, who was standing beside the bed looking at him, immediately came into his sight.

She was a young and very beautiful woman with long, wavy purple hair that fell all the way down her back and matching eyes. At the front, the right side of her hair fell over her shoulder and covers her right eye, while the left side falls near the top of her skirt. Her attire was a dress consisting of a navy blue tunic top with gold accents and a pale blue skirt with open sides, and black shoes over matching thigh-high stockings with garter belts. The top reveals much of her cleavage, which wasn't the most impressive he had ever seen (cough, Tsunade, cough) but was still a sight to behold and was held with a gold choker with blue and red jewels. She also had a black headband with a red-orange jewel over her forehead to keep her long hair in place.

There was another girl standing behind her. Another well-endowed young woman with shoulder-length black hair and blue-green eyes. Her hair had two buns, much like Tenten's on both sides of her head, while the front featured bangs that form a slight V-shape across her forehead. Her outfit consisted of a navy blue qipao with gold accents, a white sash around her stomach, and black, low-heeled shoes. The qipao was open at the chest area, giving views to her breasts and cleavage. She also wore black arm guards over her forearms.

Who were these girls? Could it be that they were the ones who did all this? The last question was thrown out of his mind the moment he saw the concern look in their eyes. Naruto had met enough people in his life to develop a certain skill to read others, so unless they were that good, like really really good actresses, they would never be able to fool him.

Just what the hell was going on?

And what's up with their clothes?

"What… happened?" Out of instinct, he couldn't help but ask out loud, with a weak voice.

"You have Phoenix flu, Naruto-sama. You suddenly collapsed and fainted." The purple haired girl then quickly added, taking back her hands "But the doctor said you will be fine."

"Phoenix flu?" Naruto asked. He had never heard about a sickness like that before. Plus, he had never caught flu before in his life, why now?

"Yes," She nodded her head before turning her head to her companion. "Xuelan, can you inform the doctor that he woke up?"

"Of course, Yubelluna." The girl nodded and hurriedly walked out of the room, probably to get the doctor, leaving the two of them in the room.

After that, the purple haired young woman, Yubelluna, turned back to Naruto and saw him struggling to sit up. She immediately put a hand under his head and another on his chest to support his body before gently helping him up and grabbing a large pillow, putting it behind his back so he could sit straight and rest his head against the wall.

"There you go." she smiled and gave him a cup of water, putting it gently against his lips "Here you go, Naruto-sama." He had gotten used to being addressed honourably after he had become the Hokage, but he got the feeling the reason Yubelluna was addressing him like that wasn't because he was the seventh leader of Konoha.

"T-thank you," He said, noticing the surprised expression on Yubelluna's face but took a sip nonetheless. Taking a small sip to make sure that the drink wasn't poisoned, Naruto then started drinking the sweet water when he couldn't find what he was looking for.

This was getting weirder and weirder by the second.

Quickly gulping everything down, Naruto gave her his gratitude and gave Yubelluna the empty cup, which she took with both hands before turning around to put it on the table.

However, as soon as she turned her head back to him, Naruto shot up and grabbed her, throwing his whole body at the busty purple haired woman before using his knee to pinch her down to the ground. It happened so fast that Yubelluna's eyes and mind could not keep up to. She was standing and the next second she found herself on the floor, pinched by Naruto, unable to move an inch of her body.

"N-N-N..ar…uto…sama..what…" She tried to speak to him but found herself couldn't because of the look in his eyes. They were so unfamiliar. She was the woman that he adored the most, the woman that he looked at passionately, and now...

"Okay, enough with the funny stuffs?" Naruto asked, raising his hand. He could still feel Kurama's presence inside his body but the fox was abnormally quiet for some reason. Still, there was no time for him to come inside and thank the fox for healing him, again for who know how many times had it been "Who are you and what are your intentions?" He asked, balling his hand into a fist. He could see that he wasn't carrying any Ninja weapons on his body, but he didn't need them to defend himself or kill this girl.

"W-what… what are you talking about?" Yubelluna asked "It's me… your servant… Yube… lluna…"

"Don't try to fool me, girl." Naruto growled "Where am I?" to make his point, Naruto called for Kurama's chakra and covered his right hand with pure golden chakra. He didn't need the Sharingan or Yamanaka's Ninjutsu to make this girl spit out everything "Answer me or I will knock your skull in and don't you dare lie to me."

"Your house… Phenex… Residence" He couldn't stop himself from widening his eyes because of her answer.

"What in the living hell are you saying?" Naruto asked, "My house is…" But his eyes widened when his nose caught the smell of something burning.

The sleeve of the shirt he was wearing was burning.

Actually, his entire right arm was burning. Kurama's Bijuu mode always gave him a golden cloak of chakra that greatly resembled golden fire but it was the first time he saw it burning so intense like this.

"What the hell?" Naruto shot his other hand up and put away the fire on his sleeve, however, he was unable to do the same to his arm, as the fire still burning strong "What is going on?" He asked, slowly losing his cool.

"Naruto-sama…" Yubelluna called out to him when Naruto stood up. She tried to reach out to him, but he stopped her.

"NO… stay away! Don't come any closer!" He cried and ran for the doors, pushing it open and running out of the room.

There, he was completely speechless. Other than the fact that he was standing in some hallway in a very luxurious palace, like a royal castle or the Fire Damiyo's house or something like that, Naruto couldn't believe what he was seeing from the large window in front of him.

It was a purple sky.

Naruto looked down at his hand and finally realized they were smaller than how they used to be. He grabbed his face and moved his hand on his cheeks, unharmed by the flame igniting strongly from his right hand. There, he found no wrinkles, nothing but the smooth skin of a young man. His body, even though it was nowhere near how he used to be, was well-toned and lean, yet muscular. From what he could tell, he must be in his teen, between sixteen and seventeen.

He was young once again.

The information hit him once again like a ton of bricks. He was too shocked to say a word.

He fainted right on the spot

"Naruto-sama!"

Line Break

"He seems fine." A man in a white coat, a doctor said while moving the small flashlight from one of Naruto's eye to the other, checked his pupils with a small flashlight before saying. Naruto was back to bed again, but this time with more people surrounded him. Yubelluna and the qipao wearing girl, Xuelan were standing side by side with each other respectively behind a man with light coloured spiky hair and a beautiful woman with blonde hair donned very high with ornate hair decorations and dark blue eyes. He also noted that they were wearing very weird clothes "I don't think there is any problem with Naruto-sama."

He didn't know that the Underworld also had medical treatments.

"Naruto, how do you feel?" the blond woman asked with a motherly tone.

"Uh… fine… I guess." He said, unsure of what to say. This woman was looking at him like a mother looking to her son. But the point was that he wasn't her son. One second he was dead and on the way to the afterlife, the next second he was in so much pain for what felt like an eternity before waking up here, in a strange and unfamiliar place called Phenex Residence, full of people that he had never met before in his life but knew him very well. He was in the Underworld, no doubt about it because he overheard the adults talking with each other, but it didn't appear to be like 'THE' Underworld at all.

After some crazy theories and thoughts, and it came to him.

Unless his Shinobi life was all but a dream, which he highly doubted could be possible because he could still feel Kurama and Natural energy inside him, he was in a Parallel Universe and he was younger as well. Shikamaru and some of the 'wise' scientists of Konoha once told him about the possibility of Parallel Universes but Naruto ignored most of them in the end because how crazy it sounded.

But everything wasn't that simple, Naruto concluded that he MIGHT replace his counterpart existence as well.

"Phoenix Flu is very rare nowadays, as rare as Dragon Flu I think. We still don't know much about its side effects. But since he had it very hard, I think some temporary memories lost aren't that uncommon." The doctor said "But I think Naruto-sama should stay at home for a few days to rest before he could continue his daily activities again. I will send you the list of the necessary bills for him later."

"I see, thank you, doctor." The woman smiled.

"Anything for the Phenex Household, Lady Phenex." The white cloaked man nodded his head and bowed before leaving the room.

After he left, everyone's attention returned to Naruto, so he decided to act nervous, mixing with confusion.

Should he tell them the truth? Should he tell them that he wasn't their son and was a century old man who came from a Parallel Universes and somehow replaced their son's existence? In many ways, he knew that it was wrong but he doubted they would believe him, after learning that he got sick and might lose some memories because of its side effect.

But one thing for sure, he was no longer Naruto Uzumaki, son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, the hero of the Fourth Shinobi War and Nanaidaime of Konohagakure no Sato.

He was Naruto Phenex.
