Naruto: Hope of the Shinobi World

PROLOGUE

The Land of Ancestors was a country that consisted of numerous farming villages, with small forests surrounding them. It also possessed a lake from which the villagers got water for use. The Land of Ancestors also had an emperor who ruled the country. This man was called Emperor Tenji. In this village also lay a gigantic tree known as the Shinju (god tree). The seed of the Shinju fell to the earth as a meteorite, and grew, as if spurred on by the blood of many that had soaked the ground. The Shinju possessed a vast and potent amount of an unknown power which would later on be known as Chakra .At the time, no one had harnessed this power yet, and it was proprietary to the Shinju. Every millennium, the Shinju would bring forth a fruit rumored to hold a part of its power. It was forbidden to go near the Shinju, and was especially forbidden to hold or eat its fruit.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, a princess from another world came to earth to escape from the dangers of her own world, and landed in one of the forests surrounding the Land of Ancestors. The citizens of the country brought her, after she was found, to Emperor Tenji. Kaguya was an extremely beautiful woman with pale skin and delicate facial features. She had extremely long, sweeping white hair (grey in the anime). Kaguya possessed white clear eyes and her eyebrows were cut very short and round— a symbol of nobility, and she wore a red shade of lipstick on her lips. She wore a high-collared hime-kimono with tomoe running down the center and edges of the gown and was adorned with intricate gold and purple lines. Kaguya then wiped the memories of Emperor Tenji and all those who were there, and settled amongst them as Tenji's concubine.

The Land of That was a neighboring country of The Land of Fire and The Land of Rivers. They would seek to claim other countries as theirs by claiming to have found out documents granting them ownership of said land. They had their eyes set on the Land of Ancestors and sent two ministers – Suzaku and Genbu- to tell Tenji how they had discovered documents giving them ownership of the part of the land where the lake was. They threatened Tenji and made a remark about Kaguya, grinning lecherously and laughing as they left.

Kaguya had steadily grown closer to Tenji, and after a while was expecting his child. She, however, didn't tell Tenji, and the only one who knew was her personal maid, Aino.

Soon after this, the situation between the two countries had gotten worse, and men from the Land of That came to take Kaguya for themselves. Kaguya and Aino tried to run but were surrounded by the men. Kaguya, however, wasn't going to let them have their way with her and so she killed them using a strange power she possessed. This act, however, caused her to become a fugitive, wanted by Tenji who had made a law stating that anyone to attack anyone from The Land of That was to be executed. She and Aino fled the country with an army of weapon-wielding men hot on their heels. The men began shooting waves of arrows at them and they began to increase their pace so as to not get killed by the rain of weapons. Aino, having seen Tenji among them, went back in order to let him know about Kaguya's pregnancy, hoping that would make him tell the men to stand down. Her pleas, though, did not reach him and she was killed by several arrows piercing her. Seeing this Kaguya was overcome with grief and hurried to the Shinju and ate its fruit. When she did this, she gained the Rinne Sharingan which manifested as a third eye on her forehead, and flew close to the moon. The sky opened up, and the moon revealed itself to be red with three concentric circles with three tomoe on each ring.

"Shine upon the world, Infinite Tsukuyomi!" she exclaimed.

By casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Kaguya enslaved everyone in the roots of the Shinju. She later released some of them to keep humanity from perishing.

Kaguya was recognized as a goddess by the people for stopping the conflicts, and was called the Rabbit Goddess (Usagi no Megami).

Kaguya eventually gave birth to twin sons, Hagoromo and Hamura. They both inherited her powerful chakra which she got from eating the fruit of the Shinju.

Hagoromo, the first son of Kaguya, was a tall and pale-skinned man, who had deep wrinkles and a strong jawline in his elderly age. He had spiky, shoulder-length, pale-red hair, with a chin-length, braided lock hanging in front of his left ear. He also sported a goatee, which was short in his younger years and later tapered down to his waist in his old age. Hagoromo had a pair of horn-like protrusions extending from either side of his forehead and pupil-less white eyes. He also had a red Rinnegan-like marking in the center of his forehead; this marking appeared when he first awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan and Rinnegan. Hagoromo wore a white, full-length kimono with a pattern of six black magatama around a high collar, beneath which, he wore a necklace which was also made up of six black magatama. On the back of his kimono was a larger, black Rinnegan marking with a pattern of nine magatama arranged in three rows of three beneath it.

Hamura was the second son of Kaguya and Hagoromo's younger brother. Hamura was a tall and pale-skinned man with hairless brow ridges and white hair, which was short in his adolescence but later, grew to waist-length. His bangs were short hung to left side of his face with a chin-length lock which hung from the right side of his face. He also had small, horn-like protrusions on his forehead and inherited the renowned Byakugan in both of his eyes from his mother. He wore a light, full-length kimono with a pattern of six black magatama around a high collar and dark pants. He had his sword in its sheath strapped to his left hip. He also had a dark crescent-moon representing Yin mark in his left palm.

After finding out that her sons had inherited her chakra, Kaguya became enraged believing that she alone had the right to have chakra and that all chakra belonged to her. She merged with the Shinju, becoming the Ten-tails and sought to reclaim her chakra from them. Hagoromo and Hamura knew that they had to do something to save the world from their mother but hey also knew that even together they were no match for her. After meeting a toad summon named Gamamaru, Hagoromo began learning senjutsu – a technique that involves harnessing nature energy, and merging it with one's own chakra to create an exponentially more potent and powerful version of chakra. Hagoromo mastered this art and then he and Hamura went and fought their mother.

The battle was very intense and lasted for months. It took a massive toll on the land and on those involved in the battle. At long last, the battle came to an end with Hagoromo and Hamura emerging victorious after managing to seal their mother and Hagoromo successfully sealing the Juubi (Ten-tails) into himself.

After the battle, Hamura settled down and had a family. He would eventually be known as the ancestor of the Hyuuga clan and the Kaguya clan. Hamura decided to go to the moon with some members of his family to make sure the seal holding Kaguya was kept intact. Hagoromo went around giving chakra to people in order to help them connect their energies together and understand each other. He started a creed called Ninshu (Shinobi Sect). Hagoromo fell in love with a woman, married her, and had two children. The first born, Indra Otsutsuki, was a prodigy in the ninja arts. He possessed the same doujutsu as his father once had, a variant of his grandmother's doujutsu (eye technique), the Sharingan, and was considered by his father to be extremely proficient in it. He excelled in everything he did and eventually grew to become independent of anyone else, believing that he didn't need anyone. Indra had long brown hair cut short on top. Two locks wrapped in bandages framed either side of his face. His eyebrows were cut short — a symbol of his nobility — and dark eyes. Later, he began wearing his hair back in a long cylinder and gained blue markings around his eyes, which were turned up at the corners. He wore a high-collared, light-coloured kimono held closed by a dark sash. The collar of the kimono was adorned with magatama. He wore a black full-bodied suit underneath. The second son, Asura Otsutsuki had short, spiky brown hair — two locks of which were wrapped in bandages framing either side of his face in a similar manner to his brother. He possessed stern facial features. In his later years, he had a more pronounced jaw-line and short goatee similar to his father. He wore what seemed to be a blank forehead protector and at a later time, bandages around his forehead. He wore a light-coloured kimono with magatama adorned around the collar. The kimono was held closed by a dark-coloured sash. Underneath, he wore a black full-body suit. Asura was a loving and carefree child and loved his elder brother very much, always playing with him. Unlike his elder brother though, Asura was untalented and showed no promise in the ninja arts. This led to him seeking help from others and seeing the value of having people around to help achieve goals. He worked hard, training and learning and eventually achieved power greater than his brother.

After evaluating both men, Hagoromo chose Asura as the inheritor of Ninshu. This decision infuriated Indra and caused him to fight with Asura over the title of Inheritor of the ninja creed, Ninshu. Even though Asura came out on top in this battle, he had lost the bond with his brother forever. Indra left his brother and father, and started his own family. His descendants would come to be known as the Uchiha. Asura would also start his own family and become the ancestor of the Senju and Uzumaki clans.

The Uchiha and Senju clans have been embroiled in a fierce rivalry ever since, and are each responsible for the death of countless men on both sides over the years since then.

Hagoromo knew that when he died the Shinju would be free and would destroy the world, so before his death he separated the chakra of the ten-tails and with the Onmyōton: Banbutsu Sōzō no Jutsu, he split the ten-tails into nine different tailed beasts (Bijuu). He treated them as his own children and they grew attached to him, respecting, loving, and referring to him as their father. His impending death brought great grief to the bijuu who were afraid about what would happen to them once he was gone. Speaking to them for the final time, Hagoromo said, "I don't have long any more. Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Gokū, Kokuō, Saiken, Chōmei, Gyūki, Kurama. Even though you have been separated, you shall always be together. Until eventually that time shall come when you will become one… You each carry a name… And with a different shape than you had up to now, you will be shown a righteous path, different from the time you spent inside of me. What is true power… …Until that time…".

After his death, the bijuu went their separate ways where they lived alone away from the humans for centuries until they each got captured and were used as weapons by humans. They each grew to hold resentment for humans, but none more so than Kurama, the nine-tails who became an embodiment of hatred from years of mistreatment by humans.

Despite all this, the bijuu never forgot the words of their father and watched out for the individual their father spoke of who would reunite them all and bring peace to the world.

The End.

Author's Note

Hey everyone, I am Tope, and this is my first fanfiction ever. Honestly, I am not much of a writer and would probably never have written this if not for the lack of stories that I can actually read to the end. Nothing against the quality of those stories, but it's either they have something that makes me unable to complete them or they aren't complete.

I know that I can use a lot of help, so if you have any criticisms or something that could help make this story better, I would love to hear from you in the reviews or via a personal message.

Thanks for reading this guys. Stay blessed.
