Chapter 1: Reincarnated

(Five Years after the Kyubi attack)

Naruto was sitting in the mud as it rained while he watched the children, who never played with him anyway, walk away with their parents. Naruto just watched and sat in the rain and after a few minutes and then he got up.

"Well might as well go home...even though there's not anyone waiting for me." naruto thought bitterly. Naruto began walking home and after a while he arrived at his apartment opened the door closed it him behind him and locked it. Naruto changed into his pajamas and lied down on his bed and fell asleep.

(Unknown dimension)

Naruto woke up and looked around and then he saw a man floating in mid air he had red samurai armor on with a white coat he held a Khakkhara with rings on one end and a 9/10ths completed circle on the other end. He had red hair and nine black orbs floating underneath him he had a smile triangle beard and a kind look on his face. However what caught naruto's attention was the man's eyes which were light purple sclerae and irides with a ripple-pattern that spreads over the eyeball.

"Greetings Naruto." the man spoke in the kind voice that echoed with power. Naruto backed up in fear of this man for fear of being attacked. "Whoa whoa naruto calm down I'm not going to hurt you." Naruto looked at this man confused and curious.

"how do you know my name?"

"That's easy...i know how to recognize a descendant of my blood when I see them...my name is Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki...but you may know me as the Rikudo Sennin." Naruto's eyes widened in shock as even he had heard of the ancient shinobi who was said to create all ninjutsu.

"you were the one who created ninjutsu?!" Naruto said shocked.

"Ninshu." Hagoromo corrected irritated.

"Ninshu?"

"Yes Ninshu the art that i created was meant to spread peace don't compare that to the tools of war that your ancestors created." Hagoromo said as he remembered the art that his followers had corrupted.

"So why are you here?"

"I'm here to train you as my successor in all ninshu."

"Your successor?!" naruto asked excited

"Yes you will have the powers of both Asura and Indra as well as Moka my Uzumaki daughter." Hagoromo formed a pool of water and waved his staff over the pool. when the ripples cleared Naruto saw a man with long brown hair cut short on top. Two locks wrapped in bandages framed either side of his face. His eyebrows were cut short, a symbol of his nobility, and his eyes had blue markings around them, which were turned up at the corners. He wore a high-collared, light-coloured kimono held closed by a dark sash. The collar of the kimono was adorned with magatama. He wore a black full-bodied suit underneath. Then the pool rippled again and a second person appeared had short, spiky brown hair, two locks of which were wrapped in bandages framing either side of his face in a similar manner to his brother. He possessed stern facial features. He wore what seemed to be a blank forehead protector and at a later time, bandages around his forehead. He wore a light-coloured kimono with magatama adorned around the collar. The kimono was held closed by a dark-coloured sash. Underneath, he wore a black full-body suit. "Let me give you a small lesson in history young Naruto. "A millennium ago, my mother, Kaguya, who longed for peace believed it was necessary for her to attain godlike powers in order to put an end to all humanity's conflicts for that reason she defied the taboo of consuming the fruit of the Shinju. Using her new found power, mother put an end to all of humanity's conflicts and she was worshiped from that day on as Usagai no Megami (Rabbit Goddess) and had settled down amongst humans, as she would eventually get pregnant and bear twin sons, me, and my brother, Hamura. As time passed, however, Kaguya began to lose trust in humanity as the power she now held ultimately corrupted her. This eventually led her to madness as she created her ideal of peace by trapping her victims in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, which changed her public image from that of a benevolent goddess into that of a Demon. Some time later, In a fit of envy that her sons had inherited her chakra, Kaguya combined with the Shinju itself and turned against them in the form of the monstrous Juubi. Their intense battle ended with me and my brother separating and absorbing our mother's powerful chakra while sealing her body to form the core of a celestial body that would become known as the moon. My brother later departed along with the rest of the Ōtsutsuki clan to the moon to guard his mother's remains, while I stayed in order to spread chakra to humanity and teach them the concept of Ninshū. my ultimate wish was to establish peace across the world, but it was a goal that would never be achieved in a single lifetime. Knowing this, I chose to entrust his dream and legacy to Indra and Asura, and began to teach them ninshū. The my son, Indra, was acknowledged by me as a true prodigy, who quickly began to revel in his natural prowess and became very solitary. The younger son, Asura, proved to be the exact opposite, having shown no special abilities or natural talent, but he pushed on through his limitations, growing stronger and more mature because of his struggles and making friends with others along the way. I acknowledged Asura's chosen path, agreeing that love and cooperation were the true keys to peace. Inspired by his younger son, I separated the Juubi' chakra within his body and used his to divide it into nine separated bodies, creating the Biju and giving each a name. As a result of extracting them all at once, I was left weakened and incapacitated for several months, though the powerful life force of the Juubi husk kept me alive. Some time after their creation, the young tailed beasts were told that they were all still linked to one another despite being separate entities. I also told them that they would eventually become one again, yet not as they originally were, and that one shall appear at that time to show them what true power is. I eventually sealed the husk of the Juubi within the moon. On my deathbed, I chose Asura to be my successor, but Indra was, overcome by bitterness and envy as well as being encouraged and manipulated by Black Zetsu, fought against Asura, beginning a war between them that would continue through their descendants. Suspecting that Indra or one of his reincarnations would eventually attempt to take Asura's power for themselves, I left behind a tablet detailing his history in an attempt to make them reconsider. Only those who possess the Rinnegan can fully decipher the contents of the tablet, while a reader with other dojutsu such as the Sharingan can still partially interpret the information. However, unknown to me, Black Zetsu, a manifestation of my mother's will, had altered the contents of his tablet so he could manipulate Indra's descendants, the Uchiha, through the ages into resurrecting Kaguya and initiating the Mugen Tsukuyomi Anew. I never knew about most of this but my daughter, Moka, explained to me the truth of my actions and the horror of my mother's plan."

"So what does this have to do with me?" Naruto asked clinging to Hagoromo's every word

"As I said I am here to make you my successor in Ninshu…you hold two powers, the "body" powerful life force and physical energy of the Senju, and the chakra of the Uzumaki and the shape manipulation that will help you reach new levels of Ninshu." Hagoromo formed another pool of water formed in mid air and a small mirror was formed from the water and an image formed in the water. Two people stood before each other, Madara in his spiked hair stood on the right looking left and Hashirama stood on the left looking right.

"Madara why did it have to end like this?" Hashirama asked

"Our clans will never work together properly what has happened will happen but that's not important." Madara responds then the draws his Gunbai. "Now shall we dance?"

"I'm sorry Madara, that it came to this." Hashirama says, then he and Madara charged each other. Hashirama had a large broad sword without guard and a scroll on his back. Hashirama struck with the blade and Madara blocked with the gunbai then they both jumped back. Madara landed on the Summoned Kurama and Hashirama landed on tree branch. As Kurama and Madara charged Hashirama weaved handsigns. "Mokuton: Mokuryu no Jutsu!" (Wood style: Wood Dragon Jutsu.) the dragon with the elephant nose wrapped itself around Kurama who gripped it with one of his claws opening his jaws and small balls of red and blue chakra combined into a purple ball and he fired it at the wooden dragon who caught it in his mouth only to burst apart and Hashirama weaved more signs. "Mokuton: Mokujin No Jutsu." (Wood Style: Wood Golem Jutsu) a wooden hand grabbed the ball off chakra and shoved it back towards Kurama and madara blocked it with his Susano'o and it exploded and Hashirama blocked it with Mokuton Hobi no Jutsu. (Wood Style: Wood Expulsion Jutsu) When the dust cleared Kurama was wrapped in Madara's Susanoo.

"It's the Mokuton Hobi no Jutsu eh? Perfect for taking on difficult beasts…" Madara said looking down and Hashirama.

"He clad his Susanoo around the Biju like armor! Madara you crafty fox!" One of the arms on the susanoo that held a blade struck down at Hashirama but two wooden hands rose up and caught the blade. "I can read your sword swings!" Hashirama clapped his hands and thrust them outward and called out. "Mokuton: Hotei no Jutsu!" (Wood Style: Laughing Buddha Jutsu) At Hashirama's command a number of gigantic wooden hands that erupt upward from beneath the ground, which encircle and then attempt to restrain a chosen enemy. The size of each of these hands is around the size of Kurama. Madara swung the other sword and obliterated all the hands as well as several mountain tops. The explosion and force of the swing tossed rocks and dust into the air and Hashirama jumped on several and started leaping towards the sea. "At this rate, this land will be completely obliterated It's best to move this to the seashore!" Hashirama kept leaping and Madara in his biju Susanoo followed with a cry of.

"You're not getting away!" Hashirama lept for a few more feet and landed at the shore of the sea. Kurama, running on two legs, charged up another Biju Dama and Madara wrapped the blade of one of the swords around the ball and it fired at Hashirama and Madara shouted with some glee in his voice. "There, try catching that!" Hashirama landed and slid for a bit and then bit his thumb. and slammed his palm on the ground.

"Kuchiyose: Gojū Rashōmon!" (summoning: Quintuple Roshomon) Hashirama summons five Rashōmon gates to block the incoming attack. "This…"

"Will change the trajectory!" Madara narrowed his one visible eye. The bladed biju dama flattened the gates with easy but it was sent flying across the sea and hit a mountain in on the other shore and it exploded. "Hashirama, it's been awhile since we've fought each other earnestly! You can see that I have changed!" Hashirama clapped his hands together and stood perfectly still.

"You're going to lay everything to waste? To all we've accomplished up until now, Madara? Nothing will come of us battling each other...it will only weaken the village and shinobi of the village! This is an insult towards our siblings and our friends!"

"You know nothing of my-!"

"I don't want to kill you!"

"Are you implying that you could kill me at anytime?!"

"No, I'm saying we're friends!"

"I've already...reached it!" Kurama stood up and roared.

"Then so be it!" Hashirama got red pigment around his eyes. "Senpō Mokuton: Shin Sūsenju!" (Sage Art Wood Style: True thousand Hands) "Here I go, Madara!"

"Bring it, Hashirama!" Madara countered as both Charged out letting loose a furious war cry.

"Chojo Kebutsu!" (Artifacts of of the Buddha) Hashirama' statue unleashed a barrage of fists which were blocked with bladed biju dama from madara but in the end the sheer amount of fists overwhelmed the blasts and slammed into the susanoofied Kurama and when the dust cleared Madara and part of kurama were exposed.

"He stripped away the susanoo!" Madara said shocked with that Hashirama detached the statue from its fists and charged Madara and grabbed Kurama, who was tiny compared to the statue, holding him still and then the wooden golem enshrouded by a wooden dragon leapt down and with a palm extend with the kanji for "sit' he touched Kurama after madara had lept away realizing the danger. as soon as the palm touched the red glow of kurama's eyes dimmed and he soon fell asleep. Hashirama jumped down to face his former friend both looked at each other for a second then they charged.

"MADARA!"

"HASHIRAMA!" After a long while of fighting each other, Hashirama's sage mode was exhausted and madara's sharingan deactivated both were exhausted It rained around them and the land was ripped apart. Madara smiled and glared at his rival. "This time you won't reach the other side." both charged each other across the river that was formed from their conflict. There was a small katana in hashirama's hand and gunbai and scythe in Madara's hands they both clashed samurai style and madara was able to land on his feet but hashirama collapsed into the water. Madara turned his head and looked at Hashirama while the latter struggled to all fours and looked at Madara. "I'm the one still standing...opposite from the last time."

"I just wanted to protect...the dream i finally reached i don't want anymore…"

"You look pretty depressed Hashirama...can't perk back up this time, eh?" Madara turned to his former friend a confident smile on his face. When suddenly he was stabbed through the heart from behind. Madara looked shocked and saw that where hashirama was there was a wood statue. "Mokuton...Bunshin! I can't believe my back was taken..."

"I will protect our...no my village. No matter what, I still believe to this day that protecting the village will lead to the protection of the people, shinobi and children! I will not forgive anyone who threatens the village, be they a friend...sibling...or even my own child…" Madara collapsed to his knees.

"You've changed….Hashirama. You've got your priorities backwards, eventually...it shall someday lead the village to darkness." With that Madara collapsed….dead. a few seconds later Hashirama collapsed completely exhausted. The mirror faded to black and shattered.

"As you can see when Indra and Asura clash their wills drive them to fight till the end." Hagoromo said sadly.

"What does that have to do with me?" Naruto asked

"You are Asura reincarnated and with his power you also have the chakra of my daughter Moka but i will give you a gift...all the powers of the two who you just watch clash." Naruto was practically bouncing off the walls with happiness but held it together for the sake of looking dignified, but Hagoromo wasn't done. "But there is more...when those three powers combine you get the rinnegan which are even stronger than the Eien no Mangekyo." Naruto was bouncing off that walls unable to contain his excitement any longer. after a while of bouncing off the walls Naruto looked back at his new teacher ready to learn. Just then a man with tall and pale-skinned with hairless brow ridges and waist-length white hair appeared and right next to him was a small girl. The man's bangs were short hung to left side of his face with a chin-length lock which hung from the right side of his face. He also had small horn-like protrusions on his forehead and the renowned Byakugan in each of his eyes. He wore a light, full-length kimono with a pattern of six black magatama around a high collar and dark pants. He had his sword in its sheath strapped to his left hip. He also had a dark crescent-moon representing Yin mark in his left palm. The girl naruto recognized as Hinata Hyuga, heiress of the hyuga clan and one of the only people who actually gave a damn about Naruto. "Hamura?!"

"Hagoromo?!"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Both asked confused. "Training my successor in what is to come." both glared at each other. "In my pocket dimension that I created. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR POCKET DIMENSION WE CREATED IT TOGETHER YOU MORON!?" Both Naruto and Hinata looked at each other then back at the arguing adults confused. after a few minutes of arguing Hagoromo held up a hand and they both stopped.

"Ok okay." Hagoromo said. "So we both agree that we created this place together right."

"Yep."

"And we both intended to bring our chosen successor here without knowing the other intended to do the same."

"Yep."

"And so we are both in agreement that they can train here together and that it would be good to have a partner to work with in order to learn how to work with others?"

"Sounds about right." Hamura nodded then he and his brother looked at their new apprentices. "Okay you two we're going to train the both of you over the next eight years in order for you to reach your maximum in control over the powers were are going to teach you how to wield."

"B-but what about our lives that we have to take care of back at home?" Hinata asked scared about what her father would say.

"Hagoromo will leave behind a Tamashi Bunshin (Soul clones) for both of you to continue your lives as normal while we train you."

"Oh sure just throw me under the bus." Hagoromo rolled his eyes.

"Well in my defense you're the only one who can use that technique." Hamura countered. Hagoromo growled but agreed and vanished. "Alright you two let's get started but this will be a trial the likes of which never have been seen."
