Chapter 1- Arrival To Remnant

And so I have decided to try out this random idea that was inspired by the fanfic Six paths of rebellion. A really cool fic that I highly recommend. Anyway, help me decide how this story should go. Either jumps to canon then occasional flashbacks or go through the whole pre cannon then transition to cannon? Help me decide.

Darkness. That was all Naruto Uzumaki saw as he felt himself falling in between the dimensions. He had no idea what he was doing nor could he tell where he was. All he knew was that he was alive and his head was spinning. How long had he been here? What exactly was he doing here? Was he dead? Those were the various questions unanswered within his head. Then it all came back to him. The various memories assaulted his brain like a freight train.

The war was at a crux. They had managed to get some form of respite thanks to the help of the four revived hokages and had managed to defeat and reform Obito. The Juubi pushed for the moment. But as the war seemed to finally be over, Madara was revived. Obito, using whatever control he still had left over his body, implanted the chakra of the missing tailed beasts into Naruto and opted to send him away where Madara could not hope to reach.

They bid farewell to the hero that had brought everyone together.

They bid farewell to the one who had endured like a true shinobi.

They bid farewell to the child of prophecy.

They bid farewell to the one that had touched their lives and changed it for the better.

They bid farewell to Naruto Uzumaki...forever.

As Naruto prepared to slam the Oodama Rasengan into the portal to destabilize it and send himself on a journey through dimensions, he got one last look at all the people he was leaving behind. His sensei, his teammates, his friends. All of them would be sorely missed, but as was usual for him, he would once again sacrifice everything to ensure that all his precious people has a future, derailing Madara's plans for good even if it meant saying goodbye to them forever.

He looked on with a sad smile as the darkness overtook him.

Darkness was all Naruto Uzumaki knew. He was surrounded by it. No way out, nowhere left to go. And just as suddenly as the darkness engulfed him, a bright calming light engulfed the room and he found himself standing upon the waters of a place oddly similar to his mindscape yet it lacked any of the defining features such as the fact that Kurama was gone. Instead there was a man floating in the middle of the area, ten black spheres orbiting below him. A staff in hand. The kimono he wore had nine magatama on it and a pattern oddly reminiscent of the rinnegan. The man turned around and much to Naruto's shock, his eyes bore the divine rinnegan.

"Why do you have the rinnegan?" Naruto asked in shock.

"I am the sage that transcends all things. I am Hagoromo. You know me as the sage of six paths." Hagoromo said.

"The sage of the six paths? You mean the same one who pervy sage and Nagato spoke of. You are the founder of ninjutsu!" Naruto said in awe.

"No I did not create Ninjutsu. I founded Ninshu! Ninshu was intended to bring people together. You humans distorted it into the weapon of war, massacre and mass murder called ninjutsu. Instead of the Bijuu being used to ensure the balance of power, they are used as weapons and locked away." Hagoromo said angrily.

"Alright relax. I understand that the Bijuu were all mistreated and we humans seem to know nothing but how to kill each other. But what exactly are we doing here? And what is here exactly?" Naruto said.

"We are in your mindscape and you called me here with your selfless spirit and wish to see your friends safe and survive the war by sacrificing yourself truly a selfless person. You truly are my descendant." Hagoromo said.

"Wait what do you mean descendant?" Naruto said.

"Allow me to tell you a story. My mother, Kaguya, came from a faraway place. She journeyed in search of the chakra fruit. The same one that manifested during the war. By consuming the fruit, she gained the power of chakra and brought peace using her power. She was hailed as a goddess at first, however, as you know, power corrupts and so she eventually subjugated everyone, becoming revered and feared as both a goddess and a demon. In time, she gave birth to two sons, myself and my younger brother Hamura." Hagoromo said, retelling the history of chakra.

"The two of us battled the Juubi in order to atone for our mother's sins. The Juubi went on a rampage in order to try and reclaim its power but in the end we were able to defeat it and seal it away into the moon. We prevented the same thing that was about to happen in your world. The infinite tsukuyomi does not only trap a person inside an unbreakable genjutsu but rather it links them to the divine tree, keeping them alive as feed for the caster, granting the caster unimaginable power. Mother possessed the powers of both the Sharingan and the Byakugan." Hagoromo continued.

"Wow, all mothers are really scary huh." Naruto commented.

"Indeed. But we are getting sidetracked. In time, I would have two sons. The elder one named Indra and the younger one named Asura. Indra inherited my strong genes and my chakra while Asura did not. I trained the two of them but yet Indra showed great promise and was hailed as a prodigy. Asura on the other was a dunce." Hagoromo said as images of two of his sons was shown.

"Even when your dad is the sage of six paths huh... I can sort of relate to that I guess." Naruto commented with a sigh.

"You should be able to understand Naruto that one's parentage does not guarantee what they will become. Anyway, Indra possessed strong chakra and visual prowess and relied solely on his power which he believed to be special to do things. Asura on the other hand relied on the power of others together with his own hardwork in order to accomplish the same things as his brother. Very similar to you and how you can gain aid from anyone. In the end, Asura was able to gain his own power, power of the body. But even with his great power, he never forgot those bonds he forged." Hagoromo said with a sad smile.

"Through Asura's life, I glimpsed a new possible. Power through cooperation. I accepted his beliefs that peace is achieved through love, understanding and cooperation. And so I partitioned the power of the Juubi that I had into the nine Bijuu giving each a name. I name him my successor as the guardian of Ninshu but it was not to be. Instead of cooperating, the older brother Indra fought with Asura. Even though their bodies were destroyed, their chakra was not. And so it kept entering the reincarnation cycle, clinging to people through the generations." Hagoromo said.

"Wow that is kind of scary. So who currently hold their chakra?" Naruto asked.

"The previous incarnates were Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. Hashirama was Asura and Madara was Indra. Their Chakra is currently held by you Naruto. I can see it clearly. Both Asura and Indra's chakra clings tightly to you." Hagoromo remarked.

"Wait, how is that possible? I don't have the sharingan nor am I an Uchiha." Naruto said.

"Yes for some odd reason your sharingan never manifested itself but you do have Uchiha blood. But due to the circumstances of your birth and the way you grew up, you inherited Asura's will and share his beliefs yet you possess Indra's latent prowess as evidenced by how you grew so quickly with the aid of others and your own effort." Hagoromo said.

"So what has that got to do with anything?" Naruto asked not finding any relation between the revelation and his current situation.

"As you know, Madara tampered with things and infused his body with Hashirama's DNA. This fused Asura's chakra with Indra's, thus awakening my chakra and activating the rinnegan within him. You are the first transmigrant to naturally have both chakra's, meaning that my chakra is naturally occurring within you. Madara wanted to gain power to cast the infinite tsukuyomi which would have made him similar to mother. But you and all the people you brought together through your life have managed to derail that plan. It might be that the Shinobi world only accepts mother and Indra's way and is doomed to fail from the start." Hagoromo said.

"No it isn't. The world is written by those who live in it. If my one life could change so much then hopefully those I have touched can continue to touch others. But thank you, old man sage, for continuing to believe in us and for continuing to watch over the shinobi world." Naruto said.

"Truly you do not know how to hate Naruto Uzumaki. You think for yourself above all others. Sacrificing yourself so that the Shinobi world will have a future. Giving it a chance at true peace. Hopefully your life there will not have been wasted. Anyway, I came here to tell you about the world you are heading to." Hagoromo said.

"The world where the kamui took me right? What would another dimension have to do with you?" Naruto asked.

"This world you are going to is called remnant. It is very similar to the shinobi world you once came from. They possess a more basic form of chakra called aura and blood line limits called Semblances. This world is much more peaceful than the shinobi world and has powerful individuals called huntsmen who are like the shinobi from our world. However I have a task for you in this world Naruto. As a favor that only you can do as my descendent and the first person to have my chakra naturally occurring." Hagoromo said.

"Is there a threat looming in this world? Is there a war brewing?" Naruto asked.

"No there is a divide between the races. On remnant, there exists the humans and the faunus, humans with animal features. They are discriminated against just like what the jinchuriki went through although not as bad and not as isolated. In remnant, there exists four kingdoms. I would like you to try and bring peace to this world and unite the two races. I would also like you to spread the teachings of Ninshu to them. Teach them to harness their aura to understand one another." Hagoromo said.

"I will try my best old man sage. I will live my life in this new world just as I once did in the shinobi world." Naruto said with conviction.

"Very well then. That is all I can ask of you. Hopefully your life will have as profound an effect here as it did in the shinobi world. It is time." Hagoromo said as the tailed beasts rose up out of the water.

"Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Goku, Kokuo, Saiken, Chomei, Gyuki, Kurama. It is time for the child of prophecy to arise. The one who would befriend the nine and frolick amongst them. It is time for you, Naruto Uzumaki, to gain your true power and take your place as my successor and bring peace to a new world. Now grab my staff with both of your hands and I will confer everything onto you." Hagoromo said.

Naruto walked up to the sage and his hands reached out to grasp the sage's staff. He immediately felt power coursing through him. Power that felt like it belonged to him and he touched before but could never consciously access. He felt the sage's knowledge flow through him, the knowledge of not only the shinobi world but also his own. He felt his link with the bijuu grow stronger and at the same time felt an odd tingle to his eyes. He looked down and was surprised to see that his eyes had changed. His eyes now bore the ripple pattern of the divine rinnegan but his was not the regular pattern like the sage's, Madara's or Nagato's. Instead, his had six tomoes in each eye spread between the two innermost ring of each eye.

"Hey old man sage, what is up with my eyes?" Naruto asked.

"Your eyes are unique in that you possess both the powers of the sharingan and the rinnegan. Your eye is actually a sharingan but I evolved it into a rinnegan for you so you have some additional powers. Now it is time for me to go. Best of luck Naruto Uzumaki. Never fear for you shall never be alone. The bijuu will always be around for you and you will always have your most powerful ability, the ability to make friends with anyone." Hagoromo said before he faded.

The mindscape world went white and Naruto felt his world spinning around as everything took root in his physical body. He noticed that there was finally light at the end of all the darkness and emerged through it, finding himself in a snowy forest. He took stock of himself. His eyes were now the rinnegan and he found that he could turn it off at will. Making a mental note to practice his new eye powers. He looked at his hands and saw that his left hand had the mark of the moon and the right had the mark of the sun. His clothes were in tatters. Checking his belongings, he saw that his main storage scroll was sealed away in his arm and was still intact.

Getting up and dusting himself off, he took note of his current position. Based on the sage's knowledge, he should be in a forest near a place called patch. He decided to head off in a random direction where he could sense some people only to realize that a fight was going on quite near to his current position. His curiosity peaked, Naruto decided to see the type of conflicts that plagued this world called Remnant. He tree hopped to the location of the battle and was surprised to find a girl in a white hood fighting monsters. These monsters were black with red eyes and resembled wolves. Recalling the information that the sage left him, Naruto recognized them as beowolves.

Summer Rose was not having a good day. She had finally been accepted to Beacon academy after completing her time at signal. She was finally on the way to achieving her dream of becoming a huntsmen just like her parents once were. She had come to the mountainside memorial graveyard to pay respects to her parents which was normal for her. Only normally, she had decided to visit alone without informing anyone or taking anyone with her. She was not expecting to encounter Grimm here. While she was a pretty decent huntsmen in training, there were still a lot of Grimm here to deal with and she was muttering curses as she jumped away from a swipe by one of the beowolves.

Naruto watched with interest as the hooded girl weaved in between the horde of Grimm and thinned out their numbers gradually. He had to admit she was fast and thought that her semblance was probably something like the swift release. Skill wise, the girl was probably around Chunin level which was pretty decent. Naruto could tell that she needed help soon as she was starting to get exhausted. He watched as she was sent flying into a tree by one of the beowolves, struggling to get up as she felt both pain and exhaustion creep in, forcing herself to stand with the help of her weapon. Deciding that it was best to intervene now, Naruto unsealed Sasuke's chokuto, a final gift from someone he considered a brother in all but blood. He leapt from the trees, wind chakra flowing through the blade as he beheaded one of the beowolves that was about to pounce that girl.

"You alright there Miss?" Naruto asked as he ducked another strike before bisecting the creature. Deciding that he couldn't be bothered to deal with all these monsters, he decided to test out his Rinnegan/ Sharingan hybrid.

'Amaterasu' Naruto thought as he focused his vision on the monsters, causing them to erupt into a pillar of black flames. He focused once more and erased the black flames before turning to the girl.

"Who are you? And what was that?" Summer asked as she felt herself slipping into unconsciousness from exhaustion.

"Relax. I am not an enemy. Sleep for now so that you can regain your strength." Naruto said as he caught the unconscious girl in his arms. He laid against a tree and place the girl's head on his lap to allow her to rest. As he did so, he took not of her beautiful silver eyes and angelic face, feeling his cheeks heat up a little.

'Wow brat, barely an hour in this new world and you are already looking for a mate. I have to say though, much better than that pink haired banshee that you used to pursue and also much less timid than that Hinata girl.' Kurama said from within his mind.

'Shut up you stupid fox. Anyway, I need some help. I want to train my rinnegan powers as well as the powers the sage left me. Think you guys can help?' Naruto thought, directing this to all the bijuu.

'We can help you with what we are good at and also give you some tips with the rinnegan however we have limited experience with it since the old man barely used his powers after creating us.' Kurama responded.

'Alright then. I'll come in for some training.' Naruto thought as he closed his eyes and entered his mindscape to train with the Bijuu. He spent a great deal of time inside and what amounted to days in the mindscape translated into minutes outside. He figured some of the powers of the rinnegan and managed to figure out how to use the six paths techniques to at least a basic level. He also spent some time learning the powers of his sharingan. He discovered that he had amaterasu in his right eye and kamui in his left. He practiced a little with his susanoo up until the point where he could manifest the armored upper body. He was going to practice his elemental ninjutsu but the girl laying in his lap was stirring and so he had to cut his training short. The Bijuu informed him that for now he could just draw on their individual chakra to use elemental releases until he started training to use his own. An offer which he graciously accepted but would not abuse.

Summer Rose found herself stirring from the earlier battle. She found herself laying comfortably in the lap of the person who had saved her. Looking up at the face of her savior, Summer couldn't help but blush as she got a good look at him. His blonde looks and blue eyes combined with his whisker marks gave him a very exotic appeal. Quickly willing away such thoughts, she sat up and faced him. Her hand unconsciously reaching for her sword.

"Relax. If I wanted to kill you I would have done so while you were unconscious. Anyway, my name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze." Naruto said while extending a hand for a handshake, thankful that the sage had thought him how to speak and read the native language here.

"I'm Summer Rose. Are you a faunus? And where did you learn to fight like that? And what were those black flames you used?" Summer asked as she took his hand and shook it. Immediately Summer let go and clutched her head as she felt herself being assaulted by memories and visions of places and events she had never seen or experienced before.

A beautiful red haired woman giving birth to a child with blond hair.

A masked man summoning a giant fox with nine tails to attack the village.

The boy's parents sacrificing themselves to seal the beast into the child.

The child being an outcast in his village.

The child's team being formed.

A man with long dark hair, gray skin and sickly yellow eyes grinning evilly as he bit into the neck of the boy's friend with sharp fangs like a snake.

The boy fighting against a black haired boy with red eyes with three tomoes and lightning crackling in his hand.

Eleven figures garbed in black cloaks decorated with red clouds as the sun rose behind them.

Nine beasts of power being sealed into a giant stature that changed into a gigantic monster with ten tails and a giant single evil eye glaring down at the world.

The boy meeting all nine tailed beasts and learning their names.

The boy leaving his world forever for the sake of stopping the plans of a madman.

The boy's meeting with a legendary figure from his world.

The boy's arrival and purpose in this world.

Summer recovered and shook her head as she realized that she had just viewed the life of the person that had rescued her. Her heart going out to him as she sympathized with the horrid life that he had to live while at the same time she marveled at his tenacity and will to never give up and also his ability to overcome hatred.

"Are you alright there Summer? Kurama what happened?" Naruto said.

'Apparently Hagoromo-jiji made it such that those with the correct characteristics and will not bring you harm will learn your true story by shaking hands with you and coming into contact with the sun mark. He probably put it in so that it would be easier for you to identify those you could consider your close allies and friends.' Kurama said although he wasn't certain of this.

'Thanks Kurama. And thanks Hagoromo-jiji for all your help. You've done so much for me already.' Naruto thought to himself.

"Oh you poor boy. To have to endure such things." Summer said as she embraced her savior. NAruto was a little shocked by the action.

"It's okay Summer. That life is in the past. Right now I need to move forward. If I kept being depressed about what happened in the past, then I would never become who I am today." Naruto said as Summer finally let go of him.

"Well since you are new here why don't you follow me back to my place first. I don't have any friends and my house isn't too far away. You can use one of the spare rooms. We could go out to Vale to get you some clothes." Summer said as she got up and extended a hand for Naruto to take. Naruto gladly accepted and got up.

"Thanks for this Summer. I guess this means that we are both each other's first friends." Naruto said with a warm smile that made Summer's heart flutter.

"Yeah I guess it does." Summer said as she led the way. The pair walking off into the distance.

Time Skip A Few Months

Summer was excitedly gesturing to the outside world as the ship flew past various landmarks of her home on the way to beacon academy. The blonde man next to her chuckling a little bit at how childish she was acting. But who was he to comment given that just a year ago he would probably be acting the same way.

It had been a few months since Naruto had first arrived in Remnant. In that time, he had gotten to know the place better, namely Patch where Summer lived and the nearby city of Vale which was the capital city of the Kingdom with the same name. He got around and explored the sights, adapting to current society and learning to operate like a huntsmen and not a shinobi although that did not mean that he forgot his shinobi lineage but rather he was very careful not display some of the characteristics of a shinobi so openly.

His Konoha headband and jumpsuit was stored away safely as he had changed his outfit in favor of something that blended better with this world. His outfit now consisted of a long sleeve black sweatshirt that stopped at his forearms with black pants. He wore open toed shinobi boots. He had black gloves with metal plates on them to hide the sage markings and wore a face mask to cover his whisker marks since that was more convenient than having to explain that he was not a faunus. He also wore a orange haori with black flames at the bottom. He had a kunai pouch strapped to his leg and a multipurpose pouch around his waist. His weapon of choice, a large sword was strapped to his back.

This weapon was built by himself using the creation of all things power of the Rinnegan. He had decided to craft himself a weapon to fit his needs as a huntsmen since he had passed the beacon entrance exam to come to the academy together with Summer, much to her joy. He dubbed the weapon the fusion sword. It was a large blade that could be split into six individual smaller blades and could fire off jutsu from the tip and make it look as though he had used dust. This allowed him to use ninjutsu while still blending in.(1)

He had quite a good bit of money saved up thanks to him republishing the books which had been left behind by Jiraiya. Life was pretty good for him. He wasn't hated or discriminated against with the exception for being labeled as a faunus although that was only a few incidences. He trained a lot with Summer, helping the girl improve while also learning skills from her, so a mutual benefit for the both of them. He had made leaps and bounds in ninjutsu and his dojutsu and had even started learning how to use the hiraishin that his father had left for him before he departed the shinobi world. Life was good and really the only thing really needing work in Remnant was the relations between the four kingdoms, the humans and faunus ties and the threat of the Grimm. This world was nothing like the Shinobi world. There was little grayness. The Grimm were creatures of darkness and the huntsmen were the light that protected everyone.

"Hey Naruto!" Summer shouted, jolting Naruto out of his thoughts.

"You wanted something Summer?" Naruto said.

"I have been trying to get your attention for the past minute. You were zoning out." Summer said while putting her hands on her hips and pouting cutely.

"Sorry about that. Just thinking a little bit." Naruto said while scratching the back of his head.

"You were thinking about them again right? The people you left behind." Summer said as she placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"A little bit yeah but mostly about my time here. I've moved on Summer. Those people were my past. My future is here in Remnant. There is no reason to dwell and desire something which cannot be attained. It would just weigh us down." Naruto said.

"Anyway, enough with that. We should enjoy the view." Summer said as she pulled Naruto to the window.

"Look look! You can see all of Vale from up here. You can even see Signal Academy." Summer pointed out excitedly.

"You are right Summer. This is most certainly an excellent view." Naruto said.

Before long, the ship had landed safely at Beacon academy and the students were asked to disembark. Naruto and Summer walked together towards the auditorium all the while taking in the scenery of the school. They also noticed some of the people who they might be working with during the year. Deciding that they had enough of sightseeing, they made their way to the auditorium where they listened to the welcoming address by the current headmaster of Beacon Academy.

"Welcome to Beacon Academy. You all possess great potential to become huntsmen and here at this school, you will learn to hone that potential and nurture it as you grown from huntsmen in training into full fledged huntsmen. You are all the next generation of huntsmen that will protect Remnant from threats. You are the next generation that will continue the peace that our world currently enjoys. Now then, you will gather here tonight. This ballroom will be your sleeping quarters for the night before you are all assigned dorm rooms based on your teams after initiation tomorrow. Dismissed." The man said.

That night, Summer was excitedly chatting away about how excited she was to finally start beacon academy. She talked about how she hoped to be in the same team with Naruto and really wanted to make more friends. Naruto just listened attentively, enjoying the fact that he could make friends and live without being judged. As the two friends went to sleep, thoughts of the exciting future ahead of them kept swimming around in their minds. All they knew was that life in the foreseeable future was not going to be boring.

And that is the first chapter. Deciding how the story should go so really not sure just yet. Also leaving it at a rating of T for now but may bump it up to M depending on what I decide to do with it. Anyway do review as it will help me write this story and therefore update faster. More reviews means faster updates guys.

(1)- Cloud's fusion sword from FF7AC but able to be used like a gun just like Cassandra's volt weapon from Freezing.

On the note about the difference in Chakra and Aura in my story. They are related but Aura is naturally harnessed while Chakra is developed. As such the huntsmen do have the potential to use chakra it's just that they lack the capability to use the energy the same way and as such it becomes manifested as Aura. Naruto can give the gift of Chakra to people that he wants to but thus far only his children and Summer will be getting Chakra. I have some story board plans already for canon timeline but pre canon is going to be tough and I will really need to wing it for that so it might take longer.
