The Legacy

Chapter 1: The Descent

It was over. The war that plagued the Great Shinobi Nations was finally over. But it did not come without a price. Many thousands had died. The Kages died defending their ninjas til their last breath. And then those ninjas they died to protect died. The weaker ones died first. The stronger ones did the best to save as many as they could like their leaders did. Unfortunately the number of weak outnumbered the amount of stronger ninja. Soon the weak died as well. And after them the stronger, faster ones died, having used too much chakra to defend others.

Out of the Konoha Eleven, Hinata and Sakura died first. Even though both had gotten stronger, they had used too much chakra healing those who could be saved. Hinata died with a blade to the heart while she had her back turned. Sakura's head was cut off with a windmill shiruken, courtesy of Uchiha Sasuke.

Neji was next. In a fit of rage at seeing his beloved little cousin and heiress die in front of him he was struck down by a Chidori to the heart from Sasuke. Lee attacked next after seeing that but he too was stuck down my Sasuke's blade.

Ino's death was next. She died jumping in front of an attack meant to Chouji, the love of her life, Chouji died having eaten too many of his pills, it was quite the sad scene. He knew he was going to die, so he went to were his beautiful wife laid and went into the forever sleep cradling her in his arms.

TenTen died soon after, she was impaled by those beautiful weapons she loved. Shino and Kiba decided to attack Obito head on. However, both were caught by Madara and burned alive.

The last two left were Naruto and Shikamaru. Together they were to take out Sasuke, but the relief was short-lived when Madara impaled Shikamaru with his Susanoo.

The final battle came down to Naruto, Kakashi, Bee and Gai vs Obito and Madara. As were his wishes. Kakashi went one on one against Obito while the others fought Madara. Kakashi succeeded in defeating Obito, but not before he was able to get in a fatal hit to Kakashi's heart. He died a few minutes later in Naruto's arms apologizing for not having been a better sensei.

The end was next. Gai attacked first, followed by Bee, then Naruto. Gai died first, causing Naruto and Bee to have to formulate a new plan. That was were Naruto had remembered the one thing that he could use to kill Madara once and for all. Courtesy of Kurama of course.

The Shiki Fuujin.

Both knew it would be tricky. But even so it needed to work. Unfortunately neither had enough chakra to work the summon. That was when Bee decided that he's lived a fulfilling life and that he would be happy to see this brother again. Naruto was confused as to what was he was talking about though, but was convinced to continue the summon.

And so he did, his chakra was quickly draining though, and just as he was about to stop, Bee came up behind him and started to transfer his chakra into him. With the renewed strength, he was able to summon the Shinigami and ask for him to seal Madara away. The god agreed upon the terms that Naruto's soul would be his as well, without a moment's hesitation Naruto agreed.

Before Madara could be fully sealed, Bee fell to the ground, asleep to the world with a content smile on his lips. Biting back the tears that threatened to fall, Naruto put in the last of his chakra and sealed away the ancient Uchiha. Slowly, his eyes drifted closed as well.

"Thank you for everything Kurama."

"Thank you as well Naruto. I hope you get the afterlife that you deserve."

"Goodbye Kurama."

"Goodbye my host."

He closed his eyes fighting back regret, he really wanted to stay together with Kurama and get to know him better. No, he wouldn't fight it. He had promised his soul to the Shinigami for helping him. He wouldn't back out now. No. The would be like spitting on the faces of all his friends that had died in this war. Quietly he waited for the end to come. The only thing he would regret would be not being able to see his parents one last time.

"You can open your eyes little one."

Great. Now he had company in the god's stomach.

"You're not in my stomach."

Not in the stomach huh? Then where was he? The brain?

"No you idiot. You are not inside me."

Not inside you huh? Wouldn't that be the dream..wait what? Gasping, Naruto shot up from his position on the ground and frantically looked around him. His head stopped spinning after he saw him. It was a man of about 30 years of age. Maybe older with his white hair, but one could never be too sure, after all Kakashi had silver hair n he was only in his early thirties at most. Not to mention that the man in front of him was exceedingly handsome. A light blush dusted Naruto's face when that thought ran through his head again. He did not just think that about man did he? This is what he got for dying a virgin. Stupid life. He was brought out of his musing and an amused chuckle. He looked at the man again and narrowed his eyes.

"Who are you?"

"Oh come now little one. I'm sure you can figure this out yourself."

"The Shinigami."

The man looked at him with a smile, "I'm glad you aren't playing stupid with me."

"The least I can do I swear," he replied sarcastically.

A soft chuckle left his mouth, yes, he knew he liked this boy for a reason. Now the really matter was on how to tell him the deal...or rather how to get him to agree to it, for the young man had gone through a living hell it was the least he could do for him.

"Ok kid. Here's the deal. You died too young. You are going to get another chance at life. And to make things easier on you, you can choose people to come with you. However I can't guarantee that you will see them immediately. You will most likely see them but not for a while."

"And what's the catch?"

"What catch? There's no catch."

"There's always a catch. What is it this time?"

"Fine. You will look a bit different because I will be sending you to another universe and you'll have siblings. That's about it."

"Ok. So about the people I can bring. Can I bring anyone? And will I remember any of the life I just led?"

"No, not really. It's probably for the best that you don't remember most. Well to be more precise you'll remember til you're born anew. But when you see the people you choose to bring with you that necklace you have on will heat up. That's just a little present from me. And since the world you are going to is quite...different. You will need an ability. I have decided that since you had an affinity towards air in your...previous life. You will have the same ability in your next life. But only you. So who are you bringing?"

"All of the other Jinchuuriki. They deserve to live a new life after all that they went through. And what do you mean by born anew? Am I going to be reborn?"

"Ok. Anyone else?"

"And...the Akatsuki. Wait what will happen to the Bijuu? Will they be alright? And you still didn't answer my question!"

"Why? Didn't they take kill most of the other Jinchuuriki? And as for the Bijuu, well I suppose that since you wanted the Jinchuuriki to come with you...I can't really separate them from their Bijuu now can I."

"Yes. But...they didn't have all they great of a life themselves. Most of their situation pressed them to doing what they did. So yes. The rest of the Jinchuuriki and the Akatsuki. My question!"

The Shinigami couldn't help but be in awe at the young man in front of him. The little child had such a large heart that it was unbelievable. He knew that if it was any other person, they wouldn't have ever done what he just did. The Shinigami nodded his head. As for the answer to his question...well he'd seen sooner or later...plus it was a surprise. Why would he ruin it by telling him?

"Very well. What you have asked shall be granted. Have fun little one."

"Wait-wh-"

Before he could finish his question he was whisked away. By what he couldn't tell, but it was like a large gust of wind. Then he finally came to, he felt went and his eyes wouldn't open and he felt kicking. Then after what seemed like forever of dark nothing-ness...everything started to get tight and just really wanted to get out. And so he fought for the way out, it was a very, very tight passage and fight to get out. And he after giving it his all he was finally out.

Ah.

Space. One thing he had wished for most of all, well...other than getting away from that awful kicking! Then suddenly he was turned upside down and his butt slapped. He let out a loud wail, that had really hurt! Then there was another wailing accompanying him. The last thing he heard before all his memories were taken away was, "my beautiful firstborn, this beautiful girl will be named Ann, and her little brother, he will be named Ace."

The little baby opened her eyes to reveal a startling cerulean color, one that put the skies of the heavens and the waters of the earth pale in comparison.

Uzumaki Naruto had reborn.
