Aether has never been more scared in his immortal life. Not for his own life but for the life of his wife and newborn child. Aether, or better known as Minato Namikaze in the elemental nations, is the fastest man alive. Man is a bit of a stretch as he is more of a Primordial god of Light, Energy and the upper skies, which allows him to create his infamous Hiraishin and Rasengan that can take down whole battalions.
But today is a special day for the god as his wife, the beautiful red haired Kushina Uzumaki, gave birth to their child, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. This perfect day, however, quickly turns sour when a man wearing an orange mask with a black flame design walks straight through the barrier that "Minato" had made, and kills all of the ANBU and Biwako Sarutobi. The man then appears and grabs Naruto before "Minato" can react and holds a kunai to Naruto' small throat.
"Give me the Jinchuriki or the child dies." The man says before throwing Naruto in the air. "Minato" knew that his cover was not as his son and disappears in a yellow flash before reappearing with Naruto in his hands. WHAT! I checked! There was no markers on the baby! The Masked Man thinks to himself in shock before throwing Kunais at Aether. The god of light drops and dodges before placing Naruto next to his mother. He then flashes toward the man and punches him in the stomach. The stranger doubles over but still manages to warp next to Kushina and slam his hand into her stomach.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu! (Summoning Jutsu!)" The Man yells causing a red chakra to erupt from Kushina's stomach.
"NO!/NO!" Kushina and Aether yell in unison before the chakra builds to the size of the Hokage Monument and takes the form of a giant nine-tailed fox.
"ROARRRRR!" Kurama's roar resonates throughout Konohagakure, and all of the people are sent into panic at the sight of the strongest Bijuu at their doorstep. Aether sighs before placing Naruto next to his mother, who despite having her Bijuu extracted from her, is still alive but extremely fatigued. "Minato" looks at the man with pure hate before flashing in front of him and shoving a rasengan into his gut, sending the man through the wall and into the nearby clearing.
"You have destroyed my family's life and for that, you will die." Aether snarls and shoots a look of extreme hatred at The Man. He places his hands in front of him and shoots five beams of light at The Man who looks in surprise but melts through it. Interesting, Aether thinks before shooting a few more that also go through the man just like the previous ones. The man throws a few shuriken that Aether dodges and he ends up kicking one back at the man, but he dodges as well. The man flashes through a few hand seals before putting his hand up to his mouth and taking a deep breath.
"Fire Release- Great Fireball Technique!" The Man says before throwing a ball of fire at Aether, who couldn't care less but was more interested that the man has to solidify to attack. Aether pulls out his signature kunai and holds in his hands in front of the fireball.
"Guiding Thunder!" Aether yells, and the fireball disappears in a flash, only to reappear 2 feet away from The Masked Man, who barely has time to become intangible. Once the fireball has gone through him, he sees Minato running at him with Rasengan in hand. The Masked Man smirks and runs at the blonde god with his chains flowing behind him. It seems to be just seconds to any bystanders but to the two ninjas, it is an eternity. Just as Aether is about to run through the man, he flashes behind him and drives his rasengan into the shocked man's back.
"Hiraishin- Ni no dan! (Hiraishin- Second Step!)" Aether drives the man into the ground with his ball of spiraling chakra before the ball destabilizes and engulfs them both in a dome of chakra. When the chakra dissipates, Aether scowls at the fact that the Man is slowly getting up, although bleeding and wounded. Aether then claps his hands together and closes his eyes. He concentrates before slowly separating them to reveal a ball of dense light floating in between them.
"It is over. I will end this once and for all. I invoke, Light Release- Fairy Law!" Aether announces before opening his eye to reveal a golden magical circle. The ball of light then explodes and bathes the entirety of Konoha in golden light. It strikes The Masked Man and Kurama, making the man fall unconscious and Kurama to recoil at the pure light thus allowing the Sandaime Hokage to push it back a bit. Aether walks up to the unconscious body of the man and reaches for his mask but jumps backwards, his warrior instincts screaming at him to do so just in time to dodge five kunai striking the place he was just in. Suddenly a strange plant-like creature appears from the ground, grabs the body and disappears. Aether's eyes change to purple eyes with a ripple pattern as he searches around for the man but some how, he wasn't in his sensing range.
"NO! Dammit!" Aether yells before realizing it was futile. He then turns toward his son, Kurama and flashes in front of him, planning on finishing the problem once and for all. He raises his foot and drops it onto Kurama's head in an axe kick that would impress Tsunade, and the Bijuu slams into the ground with enough force to form a crater. He flashes through a few hand seals before blowing out a few bullets of water. Finally, he clasps his hands together and coats them in wind chakra before swinging them like a sword, sending a blade of wind that strikes Kurama sending him deeper into the crater but regardless, he still gets up.
Damn, he can only be sealed…or weakened! I wonder if my nephew is busy? Aether thinks before flashing away and reappearing on the Hokage Monument with his arms crossed, waiting for his foe to recover. In that time, The Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen, appears in a shunshin next to him. Aether then changes into his true form, a tall platinum blonde almost silver haired man with blue-green eyes that looks to be in his late 30's. He looks much like his "Minato" form but his hair is up to his waist and extremely spiky and wild (A/N: Think Goku Super Saiyan 5 hair).
"What's the plan, Aether-san?" Hiruzen asks as he too watches the bijuu. He is among the few in the nations to know Minato Namikaze's real identity as Aether.
"It's time to fake my death. Take care of the village, Hiruzen-jiji." Aether says to his fellow Hokage before flashing hand seals at an almost unearthly speed and stopping with a clap of his hands making Hiruzen's eye widen in surprise.
"Aether!" Yells Hiruzen as he knew the consequences of that jutsu.
"Shiki Fujin! (Dead Consuming Seal!)" Aether yells before summoning the "Shinigami". The Shinigami is in fact his great great-nephew Hades, god of the dead. Aether was quite close to Hades as he and Erebus, his brother helped train him in his powers when he was but a godling so Hades cut out the "great great" portion and just called him uncle.
"Uncle, What do you require?" Hades says with a bow. He is a tall, imposing and very muscular god with albino white skin, glittering black eyes that are either the eyes of a genius or a madman, and shoulder length black hair. He is wearing black flowing robes that drag on the floor, and every few seconds, an evil soul sewed into it screams out. As soon as Hiruzen sees Hades, he falls to one knee due to being one of the few clear sighted mortals in Konoha.
"Hades, I require your help to gather Kurama's Chakra into this seal," Aether says. He holds out his right hand and a seal appears in front of them, floating in the air like a jellyfish made of ink.
"What is my payment?" Hades asks, as even though he won't take his uncle's soul, the jutsu requires some form of payment.
"I'll give you a dozen bars of Brilliant Silver," Aether says without looking at Hades, while watching Kurama look at him. Brilliant Silver is the metal of the primordials and is extremely hard to get, so to Hades that is acceptable. Hades extends his arm and grabs most of Kurama's chakra and pulls it into the seal.
"ARGHHHHHHH!" Kurama yells as his chakra is pulled away into the seal. Kurama slowly begins to shrink until he is the size of a small dog and begins to fall fifty feet to the ground. Aether quickly flashes and catches Kurama before flashing back to the Hokage Monument. Kurama is about the size of a shih tzu and its nine tails are wagging behind him wildly. Aether then takes the floating seal and places it on the fox, sealing away his chakra. Hiruzen looks at the god in awe as he looks over his village before he asks something.
"Is it over?"
"Yes. You should cast a genjutsu over Konoha so that it looks like I sealed Kurama away entirely. That way, the greedy villagers won't look for it." Aether recommends, making Hiruzen nod. He flashes through a couple hand seals and casts a genjutsu over all of Konoha so that all watching did not see it. Aether then turns toward Hades and nods.
"May we stay with you?" Aether asks since he needs somewhere to live with his family. As a primordial, he does not follow the rules that Zeus put in place, and as such, he could raise his child with his wife. However his normal home is in the Void along with the rest of the Primordials, but the sheer pressure there will kill anyone who is not immortal.
"Of course Uncle. I have a house set for you in Elysium. You can take that Clear Sighted mortal wife and your kid with you." Hades says.
Aether smiles and turns toward Hiruzen. "It's been a pleasure, Hiruzen. Tell everyone I am dead, and that I sacrificed myself in order to seal away Kurama. I'll send my son here one day so that he can train in the Shinobi arts. Until then, Hiruzen," Aether says causing the elderly kage to bow to the god. Aether then hands Hiruzen a kunai to summon him if need be. Hiruzen nods and Aether disappears with Hades, Aether in a yellow flash and Hades into the shadows.
With Kushina and Naruto
"Honey!" Aether yells as he walks to where Kushina and Naruto are. As a soft and romantic reunion, he is met by a flying fist to the face, sending him into the wall. Kushina stands there with her face red and grabs her immortal husband by the jacket.
"How dare you just leave me to go fight a goddamn BIJUU! I AM GOING TO CASTRATE YOU WITH A RUSTY KATANA! I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF YOU ARE A GOD; PEOPLE IN TARTARUS WILL FEEL SORRY FOR YOU!" Kushina roars at her husband before dropping him onto the floor. Aether crawls into a little ball to protect his vital organs and something else vital.
"I h-h-ha-had to sa-ave everyone! Don't kill me!" Aether says in his defense making Hades sigh as this is how he feels with Persephone. Persephone actually wanted to marry him and they had truly fallen in love, but his sister refused and came up with that story so that her daughter's reputation and her's by extension would not be ruined. Kushina draws her Katana and begins to inch towards Aether with a sadistic smirk that would impress Anko.
"Lady Kushina, we must head to the underworld." Hades interrupts so to prevent a possible mutilation.
"Okay," Kushina says with a bright smile, causing Hades to sweatdrop at her bipolar personality. Slowly Aether stands up and looks at his son and smiles. His eyes are a deeper blue than Aether's own and he has the same silver hair that seems to reflect the light. He also has three whisker marks that when Aether rubs, he purrs like a cat. Kushina, having not noticed that, latches onto her child and begins chanting "KawaiiKawaiiKawaiiKawaii" making Hades and her husband sweatdrop. However this gives Aether enough time to grab both of them and Hades before disappearing in a flash. And just like that, the Yondaime Hokage and the Aka no Shi left the Elemental Nations.
12 Years Later
"Gods! Apollo, there are literally 196.9 million square miles where you could shine your freaking sunlight but it just has to be on my face!" The blonde boy yells from his bedroom as he is awoken by the sun. 12 years have passed since Naruto and his family have come to the underworld. Naruto is now about 5'3" and has a swimmers build that makes him lean. He has spiky silver hair and two jaw length bangs that frame his face, much like his father's mortal hairstyle, that enhances the deep blue of his eyes and makes him all the rage among the female ghosts. Over the years, Naruto has mastered his godly abilities to an acceptable level so he can teleport like his father and perform many of the techniques his father can, such as creating weapons made of light with a Brilliant Steel base.
"NARUTO UZUMAKI-NAMIKAZE! STOP CURSING AND GET YOUR ASS DOWNSTAIRS!" Naruto's mother, Kushina yells from downstairs making Naruto sweatdrop at the hypocrisy. Naruto sighs and gets out of bed to get dressed. He puts on a white jacket with orange trimming over mesh armor and black pants, much like his father's genin outfit. He runs outside of his room and jumps down the flight of stairs, landing in a roll before standing up. He walks into the brightly lit kitchen to see his mother finishing breakfast and his father doing the underworld crossword puzzle.
"Good Morning Offspring!" Aether yells as he sits at one of the stools at the island while writing it "T-O-R-T-U-R-E" into one of the rows.
"Morning Pops" Naruto says as he sits next to his father. His mother places a plate covered in eggs, pancakes and bacon in front of him. Naruto looks over his father's shoulder before writing in "P-L-U-T-O" to answer, "What is Hades' Roman form's name?".
"Your food is getting cold. You're going to need to eat something for later" Kushina comments making Naruto raise an eyebrow.
"Why?" Naruto asks before digging into his food.
"Your Father is taking you to the Elemental Nations today and you will be there for a year to train" Kushina says making Naruto jump off his stool and jump up and down in happiness.
"So I'm finally going to meet Kakashi and Hiruzen and all of the other cool people!" Naruto says making his father nod and smile. Naruto then stops as he remembers something.
"And Ero-sennin." Naruto deadpans making Aether sigh and Kushina break into hysterical giggles at her child's nickname for the man.
"Yep. You done eating?" Aether says as sees Naruto finish eating and wipe his mouth. Naruto was about to nod but realizes something.
"KURAMA!" Naruto yells before a orange fox walks lazily into the kitchen. He was small and looked very much like a normal fox except he had 9 tails swaying behind him.
"We leaving?" Kurama asks before leaping onto Naruto head and landing there. Kurama was Kurama that attacked Konoha 12 years ago and had initially hated them all as it was human that enslaved him to attack the village. But Naruto who was a child, didn't know this and treated the bijuu like a friend. It was then Aether made him a deal, If he protected Naruto, then he may stay with them and love happily, which was good considering that something that Aether thought of doing was keeping Kurama in the underworld forever. As such the bijuu and Naruto were partners.
"Then let's go!" Aether says before giving Kushina a kiss and grabbing Naruto by his shoulder, disappearing in a flash.
In the Hokage's Office
Naruto appears in a white flash in front of Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage scaring the old man who was buried under a ton of paperwork. 3 ANBU jump down from the ceiling and draw their katanas on Naruto who just rolls his eyes.
"He said to clear the room" Naruto says making Hiruzen look at the boy closely. Silver hair, unnaturally blue eyes, He must be Aether's boy!
"Leave us" Hiruzen says making the ANBU look at him like he was crazy but Hiruzen shooes them away with a wave of his hand. The ANBU bow and then disappear in a shunshin.
"Come out Pops!" Naruto yells before a yellow flash fills the room and Aether appears.
"It's been what, 12 years, my old friend?" Aether asks before he is crushed by a hug by the old man. The village had been put back in his hands once again after Aether had left and it had been a pain in the ass. Minato/Aether had kept the village in check and shut down any petitions from the civilians to restrict the access of Shinobi but now in Hiruzen's old age, he did not have all of the support that he once had so a few of the civilians' petitions have been passed and a civilian council had been added. But the worse part of Aether leaving was...he once again have to do Paperwork.
"Good. Kakashi will want to see you and Jiraiya is in the village right now. I'll alert them of your presence"
"Actually tell them to meet us at Training Ground 7. Naruto and I will be staying here for a while" Aether explains making the old man nod while Naruto is getting antsy at the lack of action.
"I'll see you around, old man, Pops!" Naruto yells before flashing away much like his father did when he was the Hokage, ready to start a new adventure.
Gate of Konoha
An entire year had passed since Naruto and his father came to Konoha and much has happened. Naruto had trained with "Ero-Sennin and the Scarecrow" as he affectionately calls them along with many other Jonin. He had learned the Henge, Kawarimi and the Kage Bunshin as he could not do the Bunshin with his gigantic reserves. He had also learned to control ALL of the elements with his father's help.
Flashback Start
Naruto and his father was in Training Ground 7 and going through Taijutsu katas when Aether stops, looking into the seemingly endless forest of Konoha before taking a deep breath.
"It is time to finish your training" Aether says causing Naruto to stop his Kata and look at his father.
"I thought I finished my training?" Naruto asks in confusion making Aether smile. Aether then walks toward the training dummies with Naruto following him.
"It is the reason why I am considered one of the strongest primordials for I control energy." Aether says before holding out his right hand in front of him, just like how he did to form the Rasengan.
"Katon" Aether says before basking his hand in crimson flames. Aether places his palm on one of the training dummies, causing it to erupt into crimson flames that seemed to burn stronger than normal red and orange flames.
"Suiton" Aether announces before lighting his left palm with water and with a swish of his hand, a wave of water appears and puts out the flames.
"Fuuton" Aether calls before coating his hands in wind and swinging them at 2 dummies with a circular motion, sending 2 blades of wind. bisecting the 2 dummies.
"Doton" Aether explains before coating his right fist in Earth Chakra and punching the ground, making 3 spikes of earth pierce through 3 dummies, Naruto's jaw dropping.
"The White Holy Light or Koton" Aether says as a white aura surrounds him and he shoots 5 bolts of light.
"And the Forbidden Light, The Black Light of Destruction or Meiton" Aether finishes before his white aura is replaced by a black one. Aether shoots forward at a speed that Naruto was unable to follow before touching a dummy that instantly disintegrated, making Naruto's jaw drop further.
"Now, let's begin" Aether says before cracking his knuckles and sending Naruto a sadistic smirk that makes Naruto shiver. Damn, I'm going to die, Naruto thinks to himself before getting ready for Tor- I mean...Training!
Flashback End
After a lot of training, Naruto had found out that he was the only child of Aether or the Rikudo Sennin to inherit the Rinnegan and due to Kurama's chakra running through his Mother's coils when he was born. As such, his Rinnegan was mutated into a combination of the Rinnegan and the Sharingan. It was purple with 3 tomoes in the first ring, 3 in the second ring and 3 in the third leaving him with a Rinnegan with 9 tomoes.
The eyes were called the Tengan or the "Heaven's Eye" by Aether who was sure that it could make Naruto one day stronger than himself. Naruto however hated the Tengan as it made him feel like he was cheating when he used Banbutsu Sozo, one of the only techniques he knew. However the process knocked him out all day even with Kurama's help. With the technique he created his own version of Samehada, a sword he read about that could eat sword was a beautiful Katana made of Celestial Bronze and Stygian Iron and a Brilliant Steel core that gave it life. The blade was called "Namiwakiru" or "To Cut Through The Waves" and he kept it in a flashlight form on his waist.
Most importantly, he made friends in the Jonin such as Tsume Inuzuka who taught him and Kurama how to fight together like an Inuzuka and their partner or Asuma who taught him chakra flow. But the place where he was the most was in the Hokage's Library, the most knowledge in konoha. Naruto could perform any elemental Ninjutsu technique with enough practice but he needed to know the theory behind some of them to do them at all. This skill however got the attention of a Sasuke Uchiha, the spoiled brat of the Council himself.
Flashback Start
Naruto was in Training Ground 7 and practicing his Meiton when he feels someone enter his sensory range. Naruto focuses and senses genin level reserves with slightly more developed eye coils then the rest of his body. He also notices that waves of negative emotions rolling off of him. This matches the description of of Naruto's friend turned "Traitor", Itachi Uchiha or rather due to the emotions and low reserves, most likely his idiotic brother Sasuke Uchiha.
"Who are you dobe?" Sasuke asks Naruto who continues training.
"Naruto Hikari" Naruto says over his shoulder as he focuses on drawing in the darkness around him.
"You're the one the council is making a fuss about" Sasuke comments making Naruto roll his eyes and kneels in a Seiza position.
"Okay, I don't care" Naruto responds as he closes his eyes, body facing away from Sasuke.
"Face me, you are in the presence of a Uchiha" Sasuke says with an arrogant smirk but Naruto could care less/
"Your brother was so much more reasonable and much less arrogant" Naruto says, eyes never opening.
"WHERE IS HE?" Sasuke yells, KI flaring.
"Nice try with the KI but it won't work on anyone stronger than a Genin" Naruto comments with a small smile.
"Bastard!" Sasuke yells as he flashes through hand seals.
"Fire Release- Fireball Jutsu!" Sasuke yells before blowing a 3 foot ball of fire at Naruto who still doesn't open his eyes.
"You are just an arrogant brat who can't hold a candle to your brother" Naruto says before blowing out, causing the fireball to shoot back at Sasuke who scrambles to get out of the way. Sasuke looked like he was about to engage Naruto once more before remembering what happened before and runs away leaving Naruto to meditate.
Flashback End
Overall, It had been a productive year but Naruto's time in Konoha had come to an end.
"I'll visit!" Naruto says as he waves at the crowd making Anko or as Naruto called her, "That Crazy Snake Lady" stand up.
"You better Gaki (Brat)!" Anko yells before throwing a kunai at Naruto which Naruto catches with two fingers.
"Ja ne" Naruto says before flashing away from Konoha, a lone tear falling from his right eye.
Hey Guys Knife Here! I'm sorry about Raijin and I would like to just say that its not abandoned but on the backburner for now. I have 3 stories coming out besides this one. One of them is if Naruto was the last Shinto god, son of Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi who along with the rest of the pantheon are fading except for Naruto. To make sure that their legacy lives on, the gods pass on their domains and the treasures of the pantheon. And the other one is a Highschool DxD one about if Naruto was the son of Great Red and Ophis and both should be coming out soon. Also I would just like to say that School is a Bitch and updates will be coming whenever I can make. Okay that's it, Knife out PEACE!
