This is my first try at writing so, it may not be up to your standards in terms of grammar and well story telling, but i'll get experience and i'm sure that soon my stories will be up to your standards. So please Follow.

Now, this story is set in Naruto Universe. Some of you might say that this story is in AU but i would rather say that it is actually Extended Universe.

Before shouting at me to add this into Crossover section hear me out. There is One and One character here only from HighSchool DxD in this story (a few others are mentioned but that's all), and that too is so different from Canon that it is practically an Original Character. Not to mention i'll be explaining that character's existence and power to the point that those who have not seen DxD will have no trouble at all. so instead of thinking it as a crossover, consider it as OC.

Naruto will be smart, i CAN'T stand stupid characters. of course i won't turn him into some kind of Dark emotionless Sasuke copy. he'll not be stupid, he won't take anyone's shit. he will have no problem killing, or even making people explode into gory chunks if they deserve it while laughing like maniac.

I'm not sure about Lemon, but the chance of them being there is 90%, of course i'll mark their start and end so you can skip them.

No Harem, its going to be hard enough maintaining one or at most two girls for me, i'm sure Naruto can handle multiple women, but i can't. Though don't be shocked if he flirts with every girl or even have friendly sex with a dozen or two of them(most of them will only be mentioned).

The only Uchiha i like is Uchiha Madara. not Itachi(though i don't hate him), not Shisui and definitely NOT SASUKE, so any uchiha lover can go read the trashy canon manga i'll be doing things realistically, and by that i mean that Uzumaki Naruto will soon destroy all the Uchihas(except madara) and he won't even step out of the canon manga rules(meaning no stupid power ups given by ghosts of senile old man, only hard work, and hard study), and i will do that while the uchiha have all the stupid power ups they have in canon, in other words Uchihas will be humiliated at their full power like the trash they are, so Uchiha Haters, Welcome.

Yes, i consider canon as trash, same as DxD(even Shalba Beelzebub was less pathetic than Issei) and Harry Potter(i mean seriously? G. Weasly? Even Hermoine is better than GW, and Luna is better than all), and don't even get me started on the Nakama Power up of fairy tail. the only thing they are good at is proving base for awesome Fanfics.

This is as you can expect from title, just one out of the set of multiple stories i am planning. it is actually just start of Naruto's true journey, more like a prologue just like other cross over stories have, only bigger and better. so don't be shocked if i run out of materials and end the story at chunnin exam. though i'm sure it won't come to that.

the second story will be in Fairy Tail universe titled: Sage Of 666 Paths: Path 2: Path Of Slayer

the third story will be in Bleach universe titled: Sage Of 666 Paths: Path 3: Path Of Death

the fourth story will be in Dragon Ball universe titled: Sage Of 666 Paths: Path 4: Path Of Warrior

the last story will be in DxD universe titled: Sage Of 666 Paths: Path 666: Path Of God, this will be the last one, and by last i mean last in the list of Naruto's dimension hopping list, not last to be released, i'll probably upload it's first chapter before Path 1 Reaches its climax.

there are a few others that i have planned already like, Fate Stay/Night, Harry Potter, One Punch Man(i'm so going to make jokes about OPM sounding like Opium), Sword Art Online, Akame Ga Kiru, etc.

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei and Overlord are definitely going to be there, i can already imagine the mayhem and the pranks that i can have Naruto do in those 2 universe.

so looking at that, it may be better for you to follow my profile so that you'll be updated when i publish new stories(every path will be a new story).

BTW i want to tell you that starting the story was the hardest part for me, so upcoming chapters will be actually quite better, i assure you, so please try to hold on even if you didn't like first chapter too much.

well, Can't remember anything else to say, so without further wait.

Oh and Please Review. i can't improve if you don't tell me what is wrong in the first place.

Uzumaki Kushina laid on the ground crying sadly while holding her 40 minutes old son Naruto. It is funny how so much devastation was caused in so little time. She hated herself for her weakness. She trained so hard after Uzu's Destruction so that no one close to her would suffer again. Yet here she was, with her husband dead, and her son in even worse place. Unlike her stupidly optimistic husband she had no hopes of Naruto having a good childhood. The only reason she had a normal childhood was because no one knew of her status as a Jinchuriki. And even then she was hated for being an Uzumaki, an outsider.

She knew that the Sandaime wanted to tell the public about her status as Jinchuriki (even before she became a Jinchuriki), she didn't know the reason but she knew it was not a good one. It was Uzumaki Mito who threatened Sandaime and put a seal on him that would kill him if he even thought of telling someone about Kushina's status as Jinchuriki. Uzumaki Mito was fearsome even when she was older than a century and near death.

That was why the only ones who knew about Kushina being the Jinchuriki of Kyuubi were those that she herself decides to tell, which were Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya, Senju Tsunade, Uchiha Mikoto, Hatake Kakashi (a few year after Rin's death). Of course that didn't mean that more people didn't know the truth, people like Uchiha Madara and Orochimaru were easily able to deduce that Kushina was Kyuubi's Jinchuriki considering that she was the only Uzumaki living in Konoha after Mito's death.

She knew Hiruzen Sarutobi was not to be trusted, Mito warned her and she believed her aunt's words completely. Unlike other nations, other clans, Uzumaki put family above everything, their mission, their village and even their own lives. And perhaps that was exactly the reason that Uzushiogakure was the strongest Ninja Village even when it had no more population than a minor village. After all, every Uzumaki was their family, every member married in their family was family, and unlike the Hyuuga scum they loved their branch family, the Terumi clan like family too. That was also one of the reason why there was not a single Missing Ninja in the history of Uzu, ever.

But now Mito was gone, and Kushina was too weak to even move. All that she could do was try giving her final moments to her Son. She knew it would not be as bad as other Jinchuriki have it. After all there were others who would take care of her Child. Naruto's Godfather Jiraiya, his Godmother Uchiha Mikoto, that boy who she loved like her own son Hatake Kakashi, and she was sure that when Tsunade hears about Naruto she will come running back to village to take care of him as well.

Sadly it was not just Minato who was overly optimistic in their Family, but it will be too late by the time Uzumaki Kushina realized that.

Kushina was so immersed in her own thoughts and looking at her son in her final moments that she was completely unaware of her surroundings. And that was why she was shocked when she heard a silky smooth and powerful voice booming behind her.

"Well, look what we have here"

When she looked behind she was shocked to see the Shinigami was still present there. She thought he would have gone after sealing the Kyuubi and taking Minato's soul with him. She was suddenly worried that it wanted to take more, perhaps even her soul and though she had no problem getting tortured for eternity for being a worthless parent she didn't want to shorten her final moments with her son.

But when another voice spoke answering the first one she realized it was not her that Shinigami was talking to.

"Death"

Her words were short, there was no booming voice no overbearing pressure exerted, but the power, the power behind her words was so much more than that of Kyuubi and Death combined. Uzumaki Kushina turned her head to the front to see the source of the voice and was shocked by what she saw.

Standing in front of her was a girl, a girl who looked no more than 12 or 13 year old. She had hair that were pitch black as if they were made from night sky itself and her eyes were like twin voids. When she looked at her eyes she felt that she would fall in the empty vastness of the Universe. Her face was emotionless and apathetic and her dress consisted of some sort of bizarre black skirt that was joined to a jacket, worse part was that it was open from the front, and the girl had two black tapes in X shape over the place where her nipples should be. There was also a dark purple Obi-Ribbon hybrid wrapped around her stomach. There was also a purple ribbon on her neck. And finally there was a dark purple cloth hairband on her head that was doing a very bad job at holding her hair.

"Ouroboros, Ophis"

The voice of Shinigami boomed behind her but she didn't look back, she was too busy trying to understand the creature in front of her, just a moment ago when wind blew she saw the girl's pointed ears that were hidden in her hairs before now, ears that reminded her of elves from children's stories. There was no heavy presence from the girl, rather it actually felt opposite. It felt as if the world ended at the girl. That the girl was The Void given form. Even when there was no presence she could tell that the girl in front of her was far more powerful than the nine Bijuu combined. Uzumaki Kushina had no idea how right she was.

She knew that there was no word such as Ouroboros in their language, but she knew it meant Infinity, she didn't knew why she knew this. Unknown to her every Word spoken between the two Primordial Gods in front of her were being translated for her to understand automatically. The two Gods could stop that, but they didn't care what the Mortal in front of them heard.

"Hoh, Title and Name? I'd call you 'Pale Rider, Death' but you seems to have forgotten your Horse at home"

She would have giggled at the condescending tone the girl was speaking in but the emotionless tone and face not to mention the condition that she was in stopped that thought.

Hearing her words Kushina realized that the girl's name was Ophis and her title was Ouroboros. She didn't knew what kind of being would get a title like Infinite but she definitely knew that it would be someone very strong. Perhaps the Strongest.

"Oh, I didn't knew you could actually Joke huh, Dragon God. Anyway, Different Universe different personas, I am not like you three 'Strongest Existence'. I actually know how to have fun, in one world I am the Skelton Riding the Horse, in another I am an old man wearing a suit riding pale car, and here I am a wraith that can only be seen by those who are close to death"

Well that answered some questions, A God, she was in presence of a Fucking God, well she was in presence of Death God from the start, but now there was the God of Dragons here too, just awesome. Not to mention if the Shinigami could be believed, which was quite easy considering who he was, then she was one of the Three Strongest Existence. She wondered how close Kyuubi was to that ranking.

Kushina looked to the side and saw that Sandaime and the few ANBU members that were around him were frozen. She didn't understand why they were frozen until she looked around and saw that the fires around them, the dust, even that tree which was in the middle of falling to the ground were frozen. It didn't take her long to realize that time was frozen outside the barrier. Or maybe time was so much faster in the barrier that outside looked frozen. She knew that creating Time Manipulating barrier was possible with Fuinjutsu but the two in front of her were gods. She wouldn't be surprised if they could actually freeze time of the whole world.

"You are talking a lot today, especially in presence of a human. I thought you would have already given your usual, Humans being snarky Bacteria speech already, or was it snarky Protozoa?"

Kushina felt a bit of anger swell up in her at those words at first but then she realized how Humans looked like ants to even Kyuubi, she could definitely understand how humans were equivalent to Bacteria to them. She pushed that anger down, she would definitely be killed like a bacteria if she did something stupid.

"To who? The dying women? Or do you think I'd give that speech to that child who can't even understand me? But enough about that. Why are you here? You have not left dimension gap in centuries. What changed now?"

Death's manner didn't change. Even though it sounded rude both Death and Ophis knew that he was just curious.

"Well I was bored, and I was just thinking which universe to visit when suddenly I felt two presence together. One was you, and the other, the other I could not recognize, I felt as if I knew that presence, but I could not remember it. And so I came here to see what was going on. And saw that it was just a Kitsune Yokai rampaging, now that I'm done with that I'll be going around looking at things till I get bored and go to another unive-"

"It was not a Kitsune Yokai."

Kushina could barely see the anger on Ophis's face for being interrupted before it disappeared, being replaces with a barely visible hint of curiosity.

"It looked like a Kitsune Yokai, it was a Fox, had nine tails, the rabbit ears were strange, but I've seen stranger things"

Ophis replied in calm voice, one would think that she was supporting her statement in their argument, but that was not true she just wanted to understand why death said what he said. Immortal existence was boring, and finding new things was quite exciting in the boring life of primordial Gods such as herself.

"It was a piece of TriHexa (666)"

And just like that all trace of curiosity evaporated, and then a little amount of amusement became visible on her face.

"Really now? That was quite pathetic if this is what remains of the Mighty Beast of Apocalypse, and it is actually quite disgusting how he is ruining the title of Strongest Existence by his weakness."

The Death God shook his head and spoke in a tone that sounded condescending as if he was talking to a stupid child.

"That was not TriHexa. How can you be so stupid? Don't you remember what you two did when he came to challenge you to a 2 vs. 1 battle?"

"Yes I remember he told us that he was going to beat us and eat us to take our power, we tore him into 666 pieces because I found his name stupid and threw him across the dimensions. So what? Are you telling me that it was just one of the 666 pieces? It was still weak. Look at it, sealed by just a Human"

"First, it was not the human that sealed the beast. The human just summoned me, I sealed him. And no, it is not, the piece of TriHexa that came to this world became a tree, and started absorbing the power from this world using the Nature, the tree was called Shinju by the people of this land…"

And so Death told the Infinity Dragon God about the story of Shinju and the Otsusuki family, not caring that Kushina too was listening attentively to every word spoken about the true history of her world and creation of Chakra.

But the more she listened the more she became sadder and sadder. Knowing that it was not the Rikoudou Sennin and rather his mother who was the progenitor of Chakra, the truth about Juubi and Shinju was exciting and astonishing, but finding out that her world was born on nothing but betrayal was devastating. She knew that love was important but she was not stupid, she knew that if you gave a hug to an enemy you will not get anything more than a Kunai to your neck. That was why knowing that the Rikoudou Sennin who the Shinobi treated as god, betrayed his mother and killed her together with his brother because of stupid thought that love would bring true peace was disturbing to her.

But the worst part, the worst part was knowing that Hagoromo and Hamura were nothing more than Hypocritical lying bastards. For all their talk of love and peace, instead of having both brothers Asura and Indra lead equally, Hagoromo chose one over another and then didn't even try to make things right and rather let the brothers fight.

Finding out that Uzumaki and Hyuuga were descendants of Hamura was disturbing. To think she was related to those scum who enslaves their own brother, sister and children made her want to vomit.

After that the truth of 9 Bijuu hit her even harder. Finding out that the 9 Bijuu were created by Hagoromo, who they treated like their father only for him to give them the impossible task of bringing peace to humans. And then hearing how the Bijuu were treated by the humans when they actually tried to fulfill their father's wish brought pain to her heart. Specially knowing that she too was one of those who saw Bijuu as nothing more a mass of chakra who had no intelligence.

She now understood why Kyuubi hated her so much, and the worst part was that she knew she would have been even worse if she was in his place.

Ophis on the other hand was thinking completely different thing from Kushina.

"So, how powerful is this Kyuubi in comparison to this Juubi?"

Ophis asked without any emotion in her voice, no one would be able to tell what her thoughts were just on her voice.

"Juubi is 4 times stronger than this Kyuubi, but this Kyuubi sealed in the boy is only half, the Original Kyuubi is almost at half strength of Juubi."

The Shinigami answered easily, Kushina was shocked to know that the Kyuubi was so powerful.

"So are you saying that if by some chance all the pieces of TriHexa were to combine, he'll be 3 times as strong as me and Great red?"

Kushina's eyes widened at that thought. This Ophis girl is 444 times stronger than Kyuubi?! That was insane! Suddenly she was very worried about her existence. She knew she was going to die soon but knowing how much powerful this Goddess is she was sure that even her soul be annihilated if she even twitched wrong and made her angry.

"Perhaps, perhaps not, you didn't tore TriHexa into equal pieces not to mention not every universe is same. Some universe may have weaker pieces, some may have even stronger"

Ophis looked at death and then suddenly her eyes narrowed. Kushina who was watching everything could feel that something changed. Perhaps a Killing Intent (KI) that only gods could sense. Well that was good. She was not sure if she would survive a KI from someone so powerful even if it was not directed at her.

"And why are you telling me this Death? I know you. No matter if it's another God, or any Human, you never do something without a reason. Why did you tell me all that? Why did you seal that Kyuubi in that child? I know that the human held no power over you. What are you planning?"

Kushina's eyed widened as she heard those words. Of course how could she be so foolish? Even if the Shiki Fujin could summon Death, why the hell would he help Minato? Why was he doing all this? She held her son tighter in her arms. What were they planning to do to her son?

"Well there are a few reasons. The first is the same as yours, 'I am Bored', eternity of same thing over and over is quite exhausting as you already know. The second part is that I don't want TriHexa to return, and if he does return I want him to be defeated and gone again. He is not like most of us. He will not leave us alone and be happy with his powers. He will destroy us and any other thing in existence. And I can't reap new souls if everybody is dead because no one will be born. Quite simple. This child is the same. He is special. Look at him. It's not even an hour after his birth and he is in presence of three Gods. Even if one of them is weak and sealed inside the boy, the Kyuubi still holds piece of TriHexa Divinity. And of course amusement, even if the boy fails, even if you fail it'll still be amusing to watch the mayhem before TriHexa destroys me too"

The Shinigami answered truthfully, with a hint of amusement in his voice. Kushina was horrified, was Death saying that her son was destined to fight this Juubi? Or even worse this TriHexa? Was this what that Masked Uchiha planning? Did he want to destroy the world by recreating Juubi by combining the 9 Bijuu? She could believe it too, her best friend was Uchiha Mikoto so she obviously knew the dark history of Uchiha and their Dark outlook on the world. The Uchiha are all so morbid that she would not be surprised if they'd destroy the whole world if someone stole their candy when they were 5.

"So what, you sealed the Kyuubi so that the boy will become powerful enough to fight Juubi? Is this your master plan? Or perhaps you would like to give him some gift as well? Perhaps to give him the ability to summon you like slave and do his dirty work?"

"Yes and no, I sealed the Kyuubi inside him for making him powerful but the most important reason is that because both Kyuubi and the boy will need each other. He'll have a hard life no matter what path is chosen. This boy will break the walls down and became the first person in history to befriend Kyuubi. Forget befriending, the two will become so close that they'll be brothers. And yes I do plan to gift the boy with something. But not yet, for now I'll only mark the boy, so that I can see his progress, if I'm wrong and he is just the same as other humans then the boy will not get anything, but if I'm right then perhaps I'll give him a few gifts. It'll certainly be interesting to watch how he uses the gifts I plan to give him"

When Kushina heard Ophis's words she wondered why she seems to hate her son so much, or was it perhaps that Ophis hated all humans. Or maybe just looked down upon? A few minutes ago she would have been proud to be called human, but now after hearing the things that humans could do to their own children, knowing the atrocities they commit daily, she too shared the believe that humans were mostly trash. Of course there were a few exceptions.

Ophis looked silently at Death's face and then turned her eyes towards their topic of discussion, the child looked so innocent sleeping like that in his mother's arms, his whisker marks looked cute and there was a desire somewhere in her to rub those marks softly but she ignored them.

She then turned her eyes toward the child's mother, the love, worry, sadness, despair and longing that she could see in the mother as she held her child closely made her a little sad for the mother. To give birth, to get love just to lose itself so soon. She couldn't even imagine how the mother felt.

"Fine. I'll do the same. If he proves himself worthy, maybe, just maybe, I will give him some power. And that too is only because I don't want that trash TriHexa returning. And if this boy could destroy a few of them then I'm fine with granting him some power"

With those words a pitch black snake formed from the tip of Ophis's finger. Kushina saw amazed as the snake dropped on the floor, it was a meter in length and its eyes were violet just like Kushina's eyes and Ophis's Hairband. She was shocked and hurriedly try to turn away from the snake as it started crawling towards her. But she was weak and close to death, she couldn't even move.

She watched in fear as the snake came closer and climbed her son's body and suddenly the snake became a snake of ink on his body. It rolled itself around the Eight Trigram's mark on Naruto's stomach and settled itself in the mark of Ouroboros. A snake biting its own tail. And then the snake disappeared as if absorbed by his skin. She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw that her son was in no discomfort, he didn't even wake up.

That relief was soon washed away as death kneeled in front of her, he extended his bony hands and rubbed her son's head softly. Everywhere his hand touched Naruto's head glowed, for a few seconds and then everything went back to normal.

Death then stood up and spoke.

"My work is done. I'll be going now. Remember Uzumaki Naruto, 'Anyone can do a few pushups and break rocks with a punch, but only the wise can gain True Strength.'

And with those words Death faded out of existence. Kushina didn't knew why death said that now. Even if Naruto could hear him, he still wouldn't remember it. But she threw the thought out of her mind. What Death said was true and she wanted Naruto to always follow that rule.

Ophis kept staring at her son for five more minutes and then she turned around to leave. She started walking towards a hole that appeared in front of her and Kushina kept watching as she spoke softly.

"Show me that my decision wasn't wrong"

And with those words Ophis disappeared along with the Dimensional Hole.

The moment the hole faded Kushina felt exhaustion hit her in full force. She saw things out of the barrier normal again and realized time has returned to normal.

She hugged her son tightly for one last time and kissed his forehead lovingly. She smiled at her son's peacefully sleeping face and spoke.

"A…as expected of m…my son. Getting blessed by two Gods an hour after being born. I hope you become…even greater than those two believed you would become, because I know you would easily become the kind and powerful man they thought you would be"

Kushina softly rubbed her son's stomach where the invisible seal was. She spoke in soft voice.

"Kyuubi…I'm sorry for being a bitch to you…I…didn't know any better but that is no excuse, I should have at least try to talk to you. I am so sorry. I don't understand how you feel but perhaps Naruto will. You two are so similar, born from Worthless father who only cared for Humans and peace, not caring for a moment and sacrificing their own children for those who don't even deserve it…I…am glad you'd be there for my son, just as I am happy my son will be there for you…I hope, with time, you can forgive me…"

By now Kushina's breathing was heavy and her eyelids were closing on their own. Tears started spilling out of her eyes as she spoke her to her son.

"…I just wish that I was there, to see you grow up…and do…all those things…with my own…eyes…but always know my son…I'll always…be watching over you"

And with those words Uzumaki Kushina passed away, her body still sitting upright and holding her son protectively. Because even in death she would protect her son.
