Chapter One : The Blue Eyed Man

Disclaimer: I do not own the Naruto, Naruto shippuden or any other world i decide to include in this worlds and character are the product of the imagination of their respective creators and i am simply playing with the characters and i am not making any profit.

This is an idea i have been toying for some time and kept nagging me in the back of my mind so i decided to publish it so that it would leave me alone to continue writing my main story.

The battle between Sasuke and Naruto had just ended and Sasuke had decided not to kill the unconscious jinchuriki not that he would have succeeded with a guardian watching over him from a nearby mountain and with Itachi and Kisame seeing the battle just in case Sasuke would try to kill Naruto since that would interfere with the Akatsuki's plans.

As Sasuke left Kisame moved forward toward the fallen body of Naruto, having seen the opportunity to take the Nine Tails without the need for a struggle during which Naruto without doubt would release the Nine Tails.

"Kisame, stop our orders were to watch,its not time yet to take the Nine Tails jinchurik, you saw how weak he is"-said Itachi trying to stop Kisame from taking the boys body without blowing his cover.

"Yes, I also saw his potential, Itachi he will one day surpass us in skill and power and I don't want to get more hurt while we subdue him so it is better that we do it now while he is still this weak"-said Kisame with a decided tone showing that only death would stop him from achieving his goal.

"If you say so but remember you will have all the responsibility if this goes wrong"-said Itachi transforming his eyes into their Magenkyo Sharingan form having decided to kill Kisame

Before Itachi could act a man fell right before them kicking up a cloud of dust. As soon as the dust cleared they saw the man standing before them, he was 185-190 centimeters with white hair, a lean body and a pair of unnerving ice blue eyes that seemed to shine with an inner light, the man was wearing a white coat much like those that Akatsuki members wore only this one was totally white.

"I'm afraid I can't let you do that to him"-he said gesturing to Naruto.

"To bad, we will have to kill you to then, old man"-said Kisame drawing his sword

"I hoped to avoid this but remember you asked for it"-said the old man with regret laced into his voice.

Kisame launched forward intending to cut the man in half with his sword but was stopped by the old man producing a sword out of nowhere. The sword was still in its sheath but still its design was very strange (imagine a medieval broadsword), neither Itachi nor Kisame remembered to have ever seen such a sword design in all of the Elemental Nations and they had seen almost all of them.

The old man took the blade out of its sheath causing a shockwave with threw them of balance and cracked the rock they were standing above. Itachi trew his kunai toward the stranger but the old man simply deflected it using the flat side of the blade and returned toward Kisame.

Kisame had used this time to summon forth a wave of water nearly ten meters tall and eleven meters wide intending to crush the old man with a wave of water and ending the battle but the old man simply disappeared and reappeared behind Kisame and before he could react he punched him in the face sending him fifty feet away and making him cough blood.

Itachi used his Great fireball jutsu but the old man disappeared and reappeared behind him, Itachi ducked from the punch and attempted to sweep his opponents feet from under him but the old man jumped and from nowhere he simply summoned a wave of water three times the size of Kisames without any hand signs and with a wave of his hands the wave moved to cover him and Kisame but Kisame used his Water Release: Tide Reversal to turn the wave against the old man but he could feel his chakra reserves rapidly depleting against the old man hold over the water.

The old man felt his Chi reserves depleting against Kisames jutsu but Chi always regenerated faster than chakra and even if that wasn't the case he had insane reserves of any kind of power Chi, chakra, ki, mana etc. so he wasn't worried about of running out but what worried him was the fact that he wasn't to harm Itachi for he would be a great ally for his young master in the future.

As the old man struggled to keep control over water Itachi again used his Fire Release: Great fireball hoping not to kill the old man, after all he was an ally and quite a powerful one judging by the way he was handling both Kisame and him without any wounds and that was quite a feat but he had to keep his cover.

Before the Fireball could touch him the Old man's eyes shined a bright a blue and a wave of force came out of his body and spread over the battlefield destroying the fireball, the body of water near him, threw Kisame and Itachi a good hundred feet away from him and fractured the rock around them for a few hundred meters.

"You made me use the power of my eyes, congratulations, last time I used them it was a century ago against a very powerful demon"-the old man stated matter-of-factly-"but now you are in deep shit"

Before they could react the old man said Gravity and the gravityin the area around Itachi and Kisame increased a hundred fold creating a very large crater. Itachi and Kisame got up, they were covered in bruises and cuts and they might have some broken ribs form the intense gravity. What baffled Itachi was the fact that his Mangekyo Sharingan reacted to the power of the old man like the knowledge of such power was instilled in his very genes, like a song that you remember the melody but not the words and title.

Kisame launched himself toward the old man but the old man simply jumped away but instead of falling down he stayed up there floating. The old man took his sword out and said Wind and the sword glowed the same soft blue as the old man's eyes as he swiped and a massive wind blade was directed toward Kisame and Itachi, it was only Itachi's speed that saved them both from being cut in half.

"It has been a long time since I had so much fun"-said the old man with a creepy grin-"since I sparred against Hashirama Senju's Wood Release, actually"

"You are lying, you can't be that old and how could you even stand against somebody who could defeat even the great Madara Uchiha Himsel?"-asked a trembling Kisame

"Madara was talented but he forgot to hone those skills further believing himself invincible even after he was proved wrong by Hashirama who trained a lot and was capable of unlocking part of the limitless potential of the Wood Release, as much as a mortal can, anyway"-the old man stated matter-of-factly.

"What do you men with the limitless potential of the Wood Release?"-asked Itachi trying to stall him preparing to use his Tsukyomi.

"Of all the Advanced Nature transformations the Wood Release is the one with the greatest potential, the potential of a god's power in it"-he explained.

Itachi smiled as he said Tsukyomi, only for the old man to smile and say Reversal and Itachicrumpled to the ground imprisoned in his own Genjutsu. Kisame took this opportunity to attack the old man and succeeded in landing a punch and as the old man was falling he Body-Flickered to the ground and attempted to impale the old man, attempted being the key word as the old man shifted in the last moment and Kisame succeeded only in cutting through his shoulder.

The old man became white smoke and then reformed behind a boulder, the wound from Kisame had touched he bones and he had to do this or risk losing control of himself and he couldn't do that or his young master would die. From the old mans body blood flowed but unlike human blood it flowed upwards and disintegrated releasing great pressure and heat a gift from one of the old mans battle against a very powerful demon.

Ying-Yang: Healing of the Damned said the old man as pure Ying and Yang energy, unlike shinobi's Ying and Yang that was polluted with chakra which dampened their powers of creation and destruction, formed in his hand as halos of red and blue which he pressed against his wound and the wound healed instantaneity but before he could react a wave of water broke the boulder he was standing against in half and surrounded him trying to either crush him with the pressure it had or kill him from the lack of oxygen.

The old man closed his eyes and then when he opened them golden light poured from them as an inhuman voice said Gate of the Dawn Light open and from the old man's body light flowed outwards and the water evaporated instantly and from it stepped out the old man now bathed in golden light which caused the rock around him to turn to lava.

Kisame terrified at the display of power tried to run only for the old man to reappear right in front of him and with a punch he threw Kisame twenty feet deep in the rock with a severe condition of burning from the ultra hot body part that touched him. As he saw that he run with the speed of light toward where Itachi was and as he arrived there he stopped using the power of the gate and his cloak of golden light disappeared.

He approached Itachi and touched him in the forehead and said Awaken and Itachi opened his eyes but those were not the eyes of a man tortured for days within his mind but those of a man who had been woken from the best dream ever.

"You could have left me in there for a little while more"-Itachi complained.

"Then you would have been lost forever within your desire as I have an almost limitless supply of chakra and then your mind would refuse to awake"-explained the old man.

"So what are your intentions for stopping us?"-asked Itachi.

"I seek only to protect my young master"-said the old man.

"Who? Naruto?"-asked a surprised Itachi.

"Yes, he is one of the few remaining descendants of the Otsoutsuki family and the only one with the gift"-explained the old man.

"What gift? And wasn't that the family of the Sage of the Six Paths?"-asked an even more intrigued Itachi.

"Yes that was but before that they were even more powerful but then they declined and generations later Hagoromo surfaced to bring them back to glory as that family is always destined"-explained the old man-"in time the family split into different branches, the Senjus , the Uchihas and the Hyuga, after some decades other families split of from them but the most prominent were the Uzumakis who had inherited some of the skills of their ancestors in the form of seals and due to their nature they were prime candidates for one with the gift to be born and they didn't fail our expectations, as for what's the gift its not my secret to give away"

"So can you at least tell me your name?"-asked Itachi

"In another time and place, perhaps, but not now"-said the old man-"do you know any healing jutsus?"

"I do, why?"-asked Itachi.

"Because I overdid it a little with your friend, now go and get him to me here because only my powers can heal what the Dawn's light harms" –said the old man in a sheepish tone-"and I need you for an explanation on why he is still alive"

Without saying a word Itachi left to take Kisames body and returned after ten minutes, only to find the old man in a meditation pose levitating tree feet of the ground.

"Hey old man I brought him"-said Itachi.

"I know, I felt you both the moment you arrived"-said the old man as he floated down to the ground.

He approached the unconscious form of Kisame and held his palms right in front of Kisames abdomen where his robes were torn and showed burned flesh and even some crisped organs, it was a wonder that he was still alive. Ying-Yang: Healing of the Damned said the old man as his palms were again covered in the ethereal Halos of pure Ying and Yang energy and he touched Kisames abdomen. The wounds all disappeared only leaving a broken rib or two, for show… mostly and a big scar in Kisames abdomen.

"Unfortunately it takes more power than that to properly heal the damage wrought by the Dawn's light and I'm not willing to waste it on your "friend" here"-said the old man-"Take him and leave, a group of ANBU's leaded by Kakashi Hatake are almost here and it wouldn't do to find you here, would it?"

As Itachi and Kisame left the old man swore as he sensed that Kakashi had seen Itachi and Kisame but he didn't have the time to fix things, the machinations of destiny had been put to work and without a

Fully-fledged master there was nothing he could do.

Kakashi Hatake was having a troublesome period and that was saying something, initially Orochimaru had attacked Konoha and then Sasuke left or had been taken nobody knew and since there wasn't something better available at the moment they sent a group of rookies to do a veterans job. Surprisingly enough they had succeeded, he guessed that Naruto had rubbed off on them and then when he came to the Valley of the End he saw two missing nins leaving the valley and he could have sworn he saw a third person in a white coat but then it was only a brief moment and he cold have been wrong.

As the entered the valley they were getting readings of residual Nine Tails chakra that were off the charts and that could mean that the seal had loosened enough for Naruto to draw chakra from the Nine Tails, he suspected that had been Minatos plan all along to give his son a fighting chance against the masked man. After a minute he saw Naruto's body lying unconsciously in the valley's bottom and a man in a white coat was kneeled in front of him.

The old man was currently kneeled in front of the unconscious form of his young master, the boy had the potential to be better than every one of his predecessors but he had to grow out of his childish naivety first if he was to survive the oncoming trials ahead of him. He sensed Kakashi Hatake Body-flicker nearby and he felt the worry for Naruto rolling off in waves from him.

"Come forth Kakashi Hatake, I don't mean any harm to you or you sensei's son"-he said calmly.

"How did you now, I suppressed my chakra signature" –said Kakashi kunai at ready to attack.

"There are more ways than one to feel a persons coming, shinobi and to save us some time I know he is Minato's and Kushina's son because I was there the night he was born but unfortunately my hands were bound and I couldn't interfere that night but I can today"-explained the Old Man.

"How is he?"-asked Kakashi sensing truthfulness coming from the person in front of him.

"Just exhausted and some emotional trauma but he'll get over it… eventually"-said the Old Man.

Yang: Regeneration said the old man as he moved his hands over Naruto's body, he felt Kurama shiver within its prison as it felt a presence even older and more powerful than itself.

"There, that should do it, take good care of him for me Kakashi Hatake"-sad the old man as he disappeared.

"Wait…."-said Kakashi but the old man disappeared before he could say anything.

Three days later, Konoha's hospital

"Naruto, Naruto…."-a voice whispered within Naruto's mind.

"Don't be that evil jiji let me sleep some more"-answered Naruto.

"I'm not Hiruzen master Naruto"-answered the voice.

"Who are you?"-asked Naruto realizing they were in his mindscape.

"My name will be revealed t a later time master, as to who I am, I am your protector"-answered the voice.

"How do you do this? It's so cool"-asked an excited Naruto.

" Its but a fraction of my power, the ability to manipulate pure Ying energy to get into somebody's mind and dreams although it's the least used of my abilities"-answered the voice

"Cool, can I learn how to do it, please?"-asked Naruto.

"That and more my young master, unlike me your only limitation is imagination"-answered the voice

"Wait why do you call me master?"-asked Naruto.

"Because you are, I have served your family for centuries before they fell from grace"- explained the voice.

"Really so I am, what? Royalty?"-asked Naruto.

"I will explain when we meet but I came to warn you that right now there's a conspiracy to kick you out of he village"-warned the voice.

"But why? How?"-spluttered Naruto.

"Because of the Nine tails, they don't understand you and what they don't understand they fear and seek to destroy"-explained the voice.

"I don't care"-was the cold answer from Naruto-"finally I'll be rid of this hateful people"

"Don't judge many by the actions of few, there are good people in Konoha but right now those who seek to harm you prevail, don't worry I have made my move and if worst come to pass then I will take you in"-comforted the voice.

"Thanks"-said Naruto as he felt himself return to consciousness.

At the same time, Hokages office

The new Hokage, Tsunade Senju was about to attend her first council meeting. She knew she was in for a very difficult challenge as the old man had already told her about the councilmen's plans to banish Naruto from the village. The boy was the only reason she accepted the office in the first place and if they thought that she was going to just accept it they were in for a surprise.

As she entered the council chamber she saw the full council was in there, which was quite surprising as most of the time half of them were missing, especially the civil part as they always had some "important" business to attend to, that being said, this only meant this was a very important matter for them all to be reunited, the only other occasions being urgent meetings, the foundation of Konoha and the reunion twelve years ago to decide what to do with the heir of the fourth Hokage.

"Good day gentleman, I'm really flattered that you are here to today on my first council meeting as the new Hokage"-said Tsunade deciding to play dumb.

"The honor's all ours, however we came here to present you a motion that concerns the safety of this village"-said Kusumoto Hirokumi a very influential businessman of Konoha thimking that she didn't even know what was to come as their spy informed them.

"What is this matter, I haven't heard of any such thing, have you Shizune?"-asked Tsunade deciding to bate them even more.

"No, my Lady"-answered Shizune.

"This matter just came up my lady"-said Kusumoto-"the "demon boy", he has been proved to be a danger to the whole village as he had almost released the Nine Tails in the Valley of the End"

"And that calls for the renewal of the seals placed on him by his father, I don't get where the big danger is here"-said Tsunade causing whispers to erupt within the council.

"Yes but there is also the fact of two missing nins, Kisame Hoshikagi and Itachi Uchiha leaving the valley and we have reason they are after the boy, banishing him would be the best course of action that won't endanger Konoha"-said Kusumoto with a malignant grin.

"If that's the case then we should banish all of our best Shinobis including here you Kusumoto as you currently have a killing contract on your head, currently this contract has been taken by an organization called Akatsuki, which Kisame Hoshikagi and Itachi Uchiha are members"-she concluded causing nods of approval from some of the heads of the Konoha clans and shouts of outrage from the rest of the clans heads and the civilian council.

"That's not the same the boy is also in danger of releasing the Nine Tails while the rest of us doesn't"-said a very angry Kusumoto.

"And I already told you there's a solution to it, a fairly simple one or didn't you get it"-said Tsunade barely keeping her composure.

"He is a demon"-cried one of the members of the civil council while the rest of the shinobi council just stayed silent.

"He is a vessel for crying out loud, and even if it was so I have the final say as he is a ninja"-said Tsunade a vein showing in her forehead.

"Let's put this at vote, all those in favor of banishing Naruto Uzumaki raise their hands"-said Kusumoto as he played his trump card and three quarters of the council raised their hands.

"Indeed a majority vote but you forget that I am essentially a military dictator to which all shinobis owe their allegiance even more than to their own clans and I didn't remember asking for a vote"-said Tsuande calmly-"Hereby you Kusumoto Hirokumi are arrested on charges of undermining the authority of the Hokage and all your fortune is sequestered and passed under ownership of the village of Konoha, anyone has any objections?"

Danzo watched from his seat as two ANBU dragged as screaming Kusumoto away, he liked the new Hokage's approach to things but that went against his plans of recruiting the boy for his ROOT ANBU. Their spy hadn't informed them of this but that was something that could be fixed easily with his backup plan, one so well versed in the art of deceiving and politics always had an ace under the sleeve.

"Now we are a member short I plan to appoint my apprentice Shizune Tadamasa as the new councilman, effective immediately"-said Tsunade earning an uproar of displeasure from the council.

"If I didn't know you better I would think you are trying to replace the council with people loyal only to you"-said Hiashi Hyuga with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"I'm merely replacing a "retired" councilman with another who is suitable for the job and who is more suitable than someone whom I have personally trained"-said Tsunade in a sweet tone that sent shivers down everybody's spine.

"That's very wise of you my lady, if we have concluded this council meeting I have important business to attend to"-said Danzo as he got up.

"Indeed we are finished for today, the council is dismissed"-said Tsunade as she waved her hand.

All the participants of the council left the meeting room and headed outside to discus this new development.

Three hours later in a mountain cavern in the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Iron.

The old man came out of a nowhere causing a ripple to spread in the air around him. As he sat down in a rock he let two almond shaped jewels the size of a human eye drop out of his punctured arm into a metal box and then returned to his arm "Damn the kid, because of him I lost my favorite coat"-said the old man as he took he said Ying-Yang: Heavenly Restoration and golden light covered his puncturd arm and healed the all the punctures and the venom that had been in his body before he could lose control and level the whole mountain.

"I see you haven't changed Takagi"-said an ethereal voice.

"But… it can't be you are supposed to be dead unless…"-trailed off the old man aka Takagi.

"Unless I have transcended time itself, yes I learned how to do that, unfortunately I only figured it out moments before I died"-said the voice stepping out of the shadows revealing a man with grey skin and horns.

"Hagoromo, it's been a long time since I saw you"-said the old man as he hugged him.

"Indeed it has sensei, my brother would like to say hello but he still hasn't got over sulking the fact that he left his eyes in the energy vessel and now has to rely on his other senses"-said Hagorom as suddenly a wave of force came out of nowhere and knocked him out of balance.

"I heard That"-came a voice much like Hagoromo's own but a bit deeper

"That's the downside of having an ascended brother, he always gets to punch me even from another dimension"-said Hagoromo.

"I heard that to you know"-said the voice sending again another wave of force.

"You still haven't grown out of your childish behavior"-said Takagi laughing … very hard.

"It has been the only thing that has kept us sane this last millennia"-said Hagoromo-"so what do you need a pair of Rinnengan jewels"

"I'm going to give the Rinnengan to Naruto Uzumaki, the heir to the Gift of the Emperor"-said Takagi.

"So finally one has arrived, and we who though he was just the reincarnation of Asura"-said Hagoromo.-"well that means I will have to give him the half of my power earlier and so will my brother"

"You know once he comes into his power he won't need that right?"-asked Takagi.

"True but this has been my goal for all this time, to find a reincarnation of Indra and Asura that will break the cycle of hatred and to do that they are going to need to inherit half of my power each"-said Hagoromo.

"Well, just wait until he has advanced enough in his training before dumping all of that power on him"-said Takagi in an authoritative tone which didn't take no for an answer-"His full powers are greater than whatever you two combined can have but he is still to young and unexperienced

"Of course sensei, you know I always was the responsible one"-said Hagoromo.

"That is not true remember Nishikawa"-said the voice of Hamura Otsutsuki.

"Shut up"-said Hagoromo.

"Make me"-was the reply

Hagoromo disappeared and Takagi could have sworn he heard them mock fighting again like they did when they were young and he had trained theminto the use of their powers as was his duty to train the hero's chosen by the Emperors to eat the Fruit of the Shinju although Kaguya stole it so she wasn't classified as a hero despite being descendant of the last Emperor.
