I don't own anything
A main character in a story is like a building being built. A story is also like a building being built. In fact, nearly everything in life is like that. A strong foundation to be built on.
Walls built on that foundation to help protect what is inside while helping to reach new heights. Those heights can then be used to build new walls and reach even higher levels like a skyscraper.
Our main character in this story is Naruto Uzumaki, a 12 year old orphan boy who lives in the village of Konoha in the land of fire. He just recently became a ninja of his village like many others...and for those who have seen or heard about him it comes as no suprise that he is special in the fact he is a Jinchuuriki. A person who is holds a demon sealed inside of him. Specifically, the Kyuubi no Kitsune, the nine tail fox.
But this is not the only reason that Naruto is special. No, you see, Naruto is also a Child of Prophecy.
A Child of Prophecy is not what most people believe though. The truth is a Child of Prophecy is created when there is a dispute between beings of higher existance. Some call them Titans, Primordials, Cosmic, Kami's, Kai's, and many other names for beings of near immortality with massive power. Children of Prophecy are used to settle disputes between these beings without risking the life of these Cosmic beings.
However one of these beings named Chaos could not stand to see these Children of Prophecy suffer because of of disputes between rival gods. For this he created a champion, one who travels the cosmos looking for the Children of Prophecy and helping them when the gods who can't settle things themselves ignore the pain and suffering of the Child of Prophecy they created which brings us to this moment in time.
Because this is the moment when the foundation that was being put down to create Naruto life and place in it was changed. Let's take a look, shall we.
Naruto blinked as he opened his eyes and sat up finding himself on a beach at night, with water as far as he could see and a full moon in the sky above him.
Blinking again Naruto thought to himself "How did I get here."
A female voice from behind him said "That would be my fault." startling Naruto and causing him to turn around and he saw a girl who looked to be about 15 years with black hair wearing a green pair of biker shorts and a green button up shirt.
She also had a silver cloak over her clothes with a hunting bow across her back that was also silver in color.
Naruto looked at the girl confused and saw her silver eyes and said "Who are you."
The girl said "My name is Sally Jackson and your Naruto Uzumaki, right."
Naruto nods his head and asked "Do I know you."
Sally shook her head and said "No, I'm not from around here...and when I say that I mean I'm not from your world or even universe."
Naruto's eyes widen a moment and said "Yeah right."
Sally smirked and snapped her fingers and the next moment Naruto notice everything was quite and he looked around and found himself standing on a stone ground that had no plants anywhere and Sally said "Look up over there Naruto." as she pointed toward her left.
Naruto frowned a moment before his eyes widen as he saw a sight he's never seen before and Sally said "That's your world and we are currently on the moon over your world. As for how this is possible, I'm a goddess and remember before you doubt there are no such thing as gods that the Yondaime summoned the Shinigami to help him seal the Kyuubi inside you the day you were born."
Naruto bit his lip and asked "Why...why are we here. What does a goddess want with me...not that I believe you but..."
Sally smiled and said "Naruto...Think of gods as ninja. There is the Creation class ninja or Kage's. Then there are the Fate level or Jounin. Then Domain level or Chunnin. The Shinigami is one of those. Then you have the nature spirits and minor gods who would be Gennin level. My mother was a Chunnin level and my father was originally an accademy student level who moved up to Chunnin level but was also more a ANBU black ops in a way. I was born as a Gennin but I was taken as a student of MY Kage and now I am like your Sannin. You know, the Toad Sannin Jiraiya who trained the Yondaime when he was a gennin. I'm that level."
Naruto's eyes widen as he heard this and Sally said "Now just like there are several Kage's in your world who are the leader of thier different villages, there are other gods in other worlds who are the Kage, Jounin, Chunnin, and Gennin of thier worlds and sometimes there are wars between them and the gods of other worlds. When this happens the gods usually pick a Child of Prophecy and have them do missions and depending on if the child succeeds the missions or fails them will decide who wins the war between the gods...You Naruto are a Child of Prophecy."
Naruto gasped as he heard this and Sally looked sadly at him and said "My father was originally the Child of Prophecy for my world and was forced to fight SEVERAL wars between the gods...because of this my Kage, Lord Chaos, decided that enough was enough. That the gods have gone to far because they don't care about the pain and suffering a Child of Prophecy has to endure and almost no Child of Prophecy is ever given an actual happy ending. He chose me to go from world to world looking for those like you and my father and using my powers to help them if I see the Child of Prophecy is getting screwed over by the gods."
Naruto bit his lip and said "How...If what you are saying is true then how am I getting screwed over."
Sally said "Remember how I meantioned the Shinigami and the Yondaime. When you die because you have been touched by the Shinigami, your soul will be consumed by him. It don't matter who or what you do in your life, when you die you automatically will be punished by having your soul ate by him."
Naruto paled as he heard this and Sally said "That is only one of many ways you have been and are being screwed. That is why I am here offering to help you."
Naruto pursed his lips and asked "How can you help me."
Sally smirked and said "Do you like movies. Let's watch a movie together and then when it is over we can talk. Come on." as she snapped her fingers and the next moment Naruto found himself in a movie house and Sally was in the seat next to him holding a couple of glasses of soda and a tub of popcorn was on her lap and she said "Soda, popcorn."
Naruto looked around and said "Where are we."
Sally said "We are in a movie house and we are going to watch a movie called Edge of Tomorrow, Live. Die. Repeat. After we watch it then I will answer your questions. Oh look, the movies starting." as she took a sip out of one of the soda's while shoving the other in Naruto's hand.
2 hours later Naruto said "That was a pretty cool movie."
Sally smiled and said "That's part of how I am going to help you Naruto." as she snapped her fingers and Naruto found himself back on the beach he was on when he first woke up.
Sally said "The Shinigami can't take your soul until you die. Did you see how every time the main character in that movie died he didn't die but would return to the same day."
Naruto nods and Sally said "Since you learned Kagebunshin no Jutsu earlier tonight did you have time to read the little fact about how when a kagebunshin dies it's memories and any remaining chakra would be returned to you meaning everything it learned mentally would be returned to you...just like the guy in that movie."
Naruto's eyes widen and Sally looked up into the sky and said "This island we are on...it was once located somewhere else in your world. I used my powers to transport it somewhere else just like how I transported us to the moon and then to that movie house before returning us here. Do you know why I have told you about this island and why I have moved it."
Naruto shook his head no and Sally said "This island was called the Island of Whirlpool and it was the home of the Uzumaki clan."
Naruto's eyes widen and said "I have a clan."
Sally said "Had...there are only a few Uzumaki's left in the world and you actually have the highest concentration of Uzumaki blood in you out of everyone else in the world since both your parents had a connection to the Uzumaki clan with your mother originally coming from this island while your grandfather on your dad's side was the grandson of an Uzumaki woman. Before you ask, yes I do know who your parents are and they both died jumping in front of the Kyuubi before it was sealed inside you. Your parents sealed a kagebunshin of themselves inside of you that will activate later and allow you to meet them. Think of it as a birthday present from your parents. One that I won't ruin by telling you who they are. Also I'm forbidden from telling you."
Naruto frowned a moment and asked "Why are you forbidden from telling me."
Sally smiled slightly and said "It's because of the loophole I am using to help you escape from the Shinigami's control as well as how I am going to help you. See, when a god or goddess has a child with a mortal, that child is called a demigod and they often get some kind of power from thier godly parent. The Uchiha clan come from the eldest son of your Kage class god while the Senju clan come from the other son of the same god. The Uzumaki clan come from the daughter of the same god as well so those three clans are cousins and they each got a power from thier godly parent that is now a bloodline but was once called a divine bloodline but over the years has thinned out."
Taking a deep breath Sally said "Your grandfather was named Nawaki Senju and he was the grandson of the Shodaime Hokage Hashirama Senju. You have both the Uzumaki and Senju bloodline in you but it's very week from all the years since your GREAT grandparents were first born as demigods. The way I am going to help you is by making you my champion on this world which would also give you a bloodline. I am merging your 2 other bloodlines with the one I am giving you to make a new one. I am also merging the Kagebunshin jutsu with it as well so that when you are killed your remaining soul, memory, chakra, and vitality will be sent back to join with your younger self and you will wake up first thing in the morning, the day after you beat Mizuki and learned the Kagebunshin no jutsu. In order to do this I had to get your godly Kage who is also your family to agree and he did but he forbid me from telling you about your parents for now. He, unlike most gods actually does care for you and the people of this world. It's just..."
Naruto saw Sally frown and asked "Just what."
Sally sighed and said "The reason you are a Child of Prophecy is because your ancestor, the Creation god for your world is the man known as the Six Realm Sage. The Sage has a younger brother who wants to take over this world. It's his younger brother that is the major cause of the pain and suffering that you will face in your life. The Sage agreed to let me help you with 3 conditions. The first is I can't tell you who your parents are. That is something you would have to find out on your own."
Snapping her fingers caused a couple of chairs to appear and she sat down in one and motioned for Naruto to take the other before she said "The second is your ancestor wants to see world peace. That does not mean he expects you to bring world peace. It's just that he knows that with the power you will gain that you will become powerful and will learn a lot about fighting. The problem with this is most people who focus on getting stronger and fighting can't live normal lives when they are not fighting and will then go out of thier way to cause fights. That is actually what is happening with his brother. He was a fighter who loves to fight and can't stand peace. Your ancestor does not want that to happen to you so he agreed that if I agreed to teach you some things that I know that are not fighting then I could help you."
Naruto tilted his head to the side and asked "What kind of things."
Sally said "That is what brings us to this island. I have made it where the rest of the world believes the island of Whirlpool has sunk below the ocean surface and has been lost while I secretly moved it here. I have also used my power over time to make this island exist outside of the time reset. You know how that guy in the movie always had to start over from the beginning and gather his resources and stuff. Well this island is connected to your bloodline meaning that if you have something here before you are killed it will still be here when you wake up...That also means that if you someday start a family and have children. Your children can stay here on this island when the reset happens and they won't die or cease to exist. It's also where you could go when you want some time alone. You can come here and live your life for a while and tell the rest of the world to go fuck themselves."
Naruto smiled slightly at that and Sally said "As for what I can teach you...Well, this island needs a lot of work if you and your future family will live here. I am going to teach you about gardening, fishing, swimming, painting, cooking, dancing, music, wood working, blacksmithing, taking care of animals and many other things. I'm not going to make you a master of these skills but I will give you enough practice and training where if you get tired of being a ninja you could live a life as a blacksmith or a cook, or a singer, or painter, or who knows what. You will be the master of your own destiny."
Naruto said "But how will you teach me that. Konoha will notice I am gone and..."
Sally smiled and said "Have you already forgot your new bloodline Naruto. Time is on our side."
Naruto blinked and said "Oh yeah." as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
Sally said "Anyways back to what we were talking about. The third thing I had to agree to was that when you face the Sage's brother...you can't kill him."
Naruto's eyes widen and said "What...what do you mean when I face him."
Sally sighed and said "Naruto...he wants a war. He knows that your ancestor has chosen a Child of Prophecy. He doesn't know who but he suspect it might be have been one of his legacy. That is why he caused the Kyuubi attack on Konoha since so many of his brothers legacy lived there. He will come for you and will try to destroy Konoha. You will meet him someday. I don't know when or how but you will have to learn to defeat him without killing him. Most likely sealing him away. Now that you know the 3 requirements your ancestors has set forward do you agree to allow me to help you and agree to his terms."
Naruto looked at Sally a moment before he said "I...I accept."
Sally smiled and said "Good...let's get started."
