Hello all Storm here with a new story! This one I'm really excited about as I'm pretty sure it's the first one like it, and until someone comes forward I'm saying it is the first one like it. It'll also be my first story focusing on a character besides Naruto. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
The Land of Lightning, home to Kumogakure, the Village Hidden in the Clouds, lead by the Raikage and the location of the conclusion of the Fourth Great Shinobi War where the Allied Shinobi Forces battled against Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, and the Juubi and where Team Seven the resurrected past Hokage fought and defeated Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Mother of Chakra.
Now it was the final battleground of another war, the Fifth Great Shinobi War, one that has ended not in victory for the Allied Shinobi Forces, but a crushing defeat.
On the battlefield hundreds of ninja from the Five Great Nations lay scattered across the ground dead. While standing amongst the bodies was a person wearing thick heavy armor with red designs concealing their body with their helmet making it impossible to tell their gender while they wielded a broadsword with red designs along the hilt and blade.
The armored person deflected a slash from a Konoha ninja before slashing them deeply across the chest and kicking them away.
"Where is the Nanadaime Hokage?! Show yourself Child of Prophecy!" The armored stranger demanded
Another ninja tried charging them before a gold chain shot out of their wrist impaling the ninja through the chest. Panting the armored stranger leaned against their sword starting to feel faint from hours' worth of fighting.
"How many more people do I have to kill before to stop hiding coward! Come out and die Naruto!" Shouted the stranger before feeling someone behind her
Looking the stranger saw the one who they were calling out, Naruto Uzumaki the Nanadaime Hokage, the Child of Prophecy, and the Savior of the World. And the person they hate most.
"Do you see now Naruto?! Your dream, everything you worked so hard to build, peace and unity between the villages, it will all be destroyed! This is my revenge for everything you did to me!" The person shouted hoping to get a reaction
But all they got was that same neutral look they saw the first time they met Naruto. It only served to anger them further, as they wanted to get some kind of reaction from the man anger, sadness, despair, hell they'd even settle for disappointment!
"Do you really hate me that much?! Answer me father!" Demanded the stranger as their helmet folded back revealing their face
The stranger was revealed to be a young woman, around seventeen-years-old, with light colored blonde hair done up in a ponytail and a braid with bangs framing her face, fair skin, and emerald green eyes that glared at Naruto full of hate and vengeance.
"Say something damn you!" Shouted the girl angered that even after destroying the Allied Shinobi Forces he still wouldn't say anything to her
"There's nothing left to say." Naruto stated activating his Six Paths Sage Mode, as the girl glared at him
"Fine. Then you can die without a sound!" The girl yelled raising her sword skyward before is glowed with ominous blood-red light
"Let's see how your Will of Fire matches against my hatred! CLARENT-" The girl started
"Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!" Said Naruto quickly creating and throwing the attack
"BLOOD ARTHUR!" The girl shouted swinging her blade unleashing a destructive red wave of energy
The two destructive attacks collided resulting in a large explosion that consumed the battlefield. Raising his arm to shield his face Naruto sensed the girl suddenly appear above him, looking he saw her descending towards him with her sword held in a reverse grip.
"Now die!" Said the girl ready to impale him with her blade
Forming a Rasengan Naruto prepared to meet the blade when his mind travelled back to when this all started.
*Eight Years Ago*
'Wow, so this Konoha. It's really different than how mother described it.' Thought a nine-year-old girl as she walked through the gates of Konoha looking around the village in awe
It looked more like a city than a village to her.
The girl had long light blonde hair, fair skin, and emerald green eyes while wearing a brown cloak with the hood pulled up.
This girl was Mordred daughter of Shion the Priestess of the Land of Demons.
The reason Mordred was in Konoha, alone for that matter, rather in the Land of Demons was because after years of begging and pleading she had finally managed to get her mother to tell her who her father was. Learning her father was THE Naruto Uzumaki, the Hero of the Fourth Shinobi War, the Savior of the World, and the man who single-handedly defeated Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Sure he got help from his teammates and sensei, but Mordred was sure he did most of the work.
Mordred had been both shocked and awed to learn who her father was, but this lead to her desire of wanting to meet her father as well. It took some time but she had managed to convince her mother to let her go to Konoha and meet him in person. Now here she was and Mordred was feeling both excited and nervous, excited to finally meet her father and nervous considering he was such an important person.
'Maybe I should have waited, what if he's busy, what if I'm to weak, what if he'll be upset I'm not a ninja like he is, what if-huh?' Mordred thought noticing the giant crowd gathered outside what she knew was the Hokage Tower
It looked like everyone in Konoha was there, it also confused Mordred as to why everyone was wearing white kimono tops.
'Is this some kind of festival or holiday?' Mordred thought running to see what was happening
Upon a closer inspection Mordred saw someone standing on top of the Hokage Tower, narrowing her eyes Mordred saw it was Kakashi Hatake the Rokudaime Hokage.
'Is he making an announcement? If so why would everyone need to be here?' Mordred wondered before hearing Kakashi start to speak
"Alright then, let's bring out the man of the hour himself. The man who's about to become the Nanadaime Hokage, the man you all know…" Kakashi spoke
Mordred looked in awe as she watched Kakashi step aside and let someone stand before the crowd.
'Wow…' Mordred thought seeing the person she had come to Konoha to meet
Her father was being named the Nanadaime Hokage, and she arrived just in time for his inauguration!
"Naruto Uzumaki!" Announce Kakashi as the crowd cheered loudly
Everyone was cheering as Naruto smiled and waved at the crowd, all except Mordred who was looking a sad look on her face.
'He's the Nanadaime Hokage to, that's just another title he has. And I'm just a stupid kid who he probably doesn't know exists, how could I ever live up to someone like him?' Thought Mordred
Maybe she should just go home and save herself the embarrassment of meeting her father.
'But… maybe if I can prove myself, become a ninja like him, then I'd be able to meet him and make him proud that I became a ninja like him. And not just any ninja I'll be the strongest!' Mordred swore her eyes burning with determination
She'll become someone worthy to carry her fathers name no matter what.
*Timeskip-Five Years*
'This is it, I've finally reached my goal!' Mordred thought in excitement as she walked up the stairs to the Hokage's Office, her father's office
Five years have passed since her arrival in Konoha. The day after her father's inauguration she had immediately enrolled into the Academy and pushed herself to the top of her class graduating in record time, becoming one of the youngest Genin since Itachi Uchiha. During her times as a Genin Mordred had taken to wearing a mask to hide her face since from what she learned of her fathers history she looked nearly identical to when he uses his Sexy Jutsu, only with lighter hair color and green eyes, and she didn't want her identity revealed to soon.
For mission she completed them all flawlessly no matter what rank they were, even those damned D-Rank missions. When it came time for her team to enter the Chunin Exams Mordred passed through all the tests easily and managed to win the Third Task tournament and rise to the rank of Chunin, all of which before she was even a Genin for a year.
After this people started talking about her, a mystery Ninja that came out of seemingly nowhere and proving to be a prodigy, but Mordred didn't pay attention to any talk about her only focusing on becoming even stronger.
She spent two years as Chunin with a still flawless mission record, not only that she had begun developing her own unique fighting style. Mordred had developed an interest in Kenjutsu, after learning her paternal grandmother was a master swordswoman, but rather than using a katana, tanto, or similar swords Mordred had chosen to use a broadsword preferring brute strength and strong attacks similar to a berserker. She also specialized in Taijutsu, and some Ninjutsu though she usually preferred sticking using her sword. Another skill she started learning was Fuinjutsu given the Uzumaki were renowned for their skill with seals and Mordred wanted to see if she had the same talent, safe to say she did.
Mordred had also taken to wearing heavy plated armor with red designs, it not only was good in protecting her but doubled as training weights, as when Mordred took the armor off her strength and speed increased dramatically.
Soon into her third year in Konoha, Mordred had become a Jonin and by now all the Elemental Nations knew her name, speaking it with respect the one so young could rise through the ranks that quickly. But Mordred still didn't stop training or completing missions, she wouldn't stop not until she had become the best.
Now after five long years filled with blood, sweat, and tears Mordred had achieved her goal as she was now listed in the Bingo Book labelled as S-Rank and having a "Flee on Sight" order, an order only the most dangerous and powerful ninja receive.
Mordred was now confident in meeting her father and gaining his recognition and love. It helped that she was returning from another completed mission.
'This is it.' Mordred thought as she stood outside her fathers office and knocked on the door
"Enter." Came Naruto's voice
Entering Mordred saw her father behind his desk with numerous stacks of paper that he was signing and looking over.
'Why doesn't he just use Shadow Clones?' Wondered Mordred having seen numerous clones of her father running around the village completing tasks or even giving interviews yet he doesn't use them to take some of the workload off
"The mission was a success Hokage-sama, the client arrived at their destination unharmed and all threats were eliminated." Mordred reported getting back to the task at hand
"Well done Mordred, you're dismissed for the rest of the day." Naruto said
After a few moments of not hearing the door open and close Naruto looked and saw Mordred still standing there.
"Is there something else you wanted to say Mordred?" Asked Naruto, while Mordred took a deep breath
"Yes Hokage-sama there was." Mordred replied
"Well say and then please go, I have a lot of work to do and don't have a lot of time." Naruto said
"Ri-right. Well see you Hokage-sama, I originally came to Konoha to meet my father, my mother said he was a ninja here and I was able to convince her to let me travel here to meet him. I actually arrived on the day of your inauguration." Mordred said, while Naruto's eye twitched at the mention of his inauguration
He was a rather sore subject for him, considering he had been knocked unconscious by Himawari after protecting Boruto, who had ripped Himawari's favorite stuffed animal, thus Konohamaru had to take his place while wearing a Transformation Jutsu. It still annoyed, and slightly angered, Naruto that he missed his inauguration and didn't like being reminded of what was supposed to be one of the greatest days in his life.
"Can you please get to the point Mordred." Said Naruto with more bite intended
Frowning at how he was pushing her to hurry, Mordred took a calming breath, before she made her helmet unfold revealing her face much to Naruto's shock when he saw what she looked like.
"My name is Mordred Uzumaki, my mother is the Priestess Shion and I am daughter." Mordred revealed while seeing the shock on her fathers face, which was to be expected given she doubted he expected to meet her like this
Though just as quickly his shock vanished and was replaced a neutral and blank expression. Mordred started getting uncomfortable when her father didn't say anything, though she was confused when he got up and went to the door.
"Wait aren't you going to say something?" Mordred asked stopping him only to flinch back when looked at her with his face still free of any emotion
"Go home." Said Naruto, Mordred looking at him shocked
"Wh-what?" Said Mordred not sure she heard correctly
"Go home, back to Demon Country. Consider it a long term mission." Naruto said turning back to the door to leave
"Bu-but, I came all this way to meet you, I became a ninja just like you, I trained and advanced in rank! You can't just tell me to leave like that, I'm your-"
"A promise!" Naruto cutoff
"What?" Mordred asked confused
"I made a promise to Shion to help her continue the Land of Demon's Priestess line, a promise I made when I didn't know the true meaning of until after I was already in a relationship and ready to be married. I only kept my promise because I don't break my word, nothing more nothing less." Naruto answered
Mordred looked at him with wide eyes. A promise, that was all she was to him, just a fucking promise to ease his own damn mind!
"Now go home Mordred." Said Naruto
Mordred felt her body begin to shake in rage at his words. Her entire life she's wanted to meet her father, and when she found out her father was Naruto Uzumaki she'd never been happier, even before she learned he was her father she looked up to him, respected him. He was hated by his village for being a Jinchuuriki, but he never gave up he pushed forward rising to become a hero to the entire world. For five years she trained until her bones cracked, until he she collapsed from exhaustion, going on mission after mission, rising through the ranks all to earn his recognition and love. And now he dared to reject her, tell her to leave, that she was just a fucking fulfilled promise!
Then he has the gall to turn his back on her!
Mordred reacted on pure anger.
"Don't turn your back on me you bastard!" Mordred shouted drawing her sword and swinging at Naruto
Faster than Mordred could register what happened Naruto had grabbed her sword with his bandaged right arm before his other was buried in her stomach. Doubling over Mordred coughed and gagged at feeling the wind knocked out her, even with her heavy armor she still felt that.
Coughing Mordred tried to regain her breathing before she felt ger headband being removed from her forehead. Looking Mordred saw her father looking at her with that same neutral look while holding her headband in his hand.
"For attempting to strike your Kage, you are no longer a ninja of Konoha and are hereby banished from the village." Naruto said, much to Mordred's shock
But her shock didn't last and was replaced by a burning rage. All the love, respect, and admiration she felt for her fa- no for Naruto Uzumaki was replaced by pure hatred.
"Kill me." Mordred said her eyes shadowed by her hair and stopping Naruto in his tracks
"What?" Said Naruto unsure he heard correctly
Though Naruto reeled back when Mordred looked up at him with hate-filled glare directed at him. It reminded Naruto of the looked Sasuke got whenever he talked about Itachi, only much worse. With Sasuke he desired revenge on Itachi for killing the Uchiha Massacre, but with the glare Mordred was giving him it only contained pure hatred and loathing.
"You better kill me right now, because if you don't I swear I'll make you regret it!" Mordred hissed out
Regaining his composure Naruto looked at Mordred with a still neutral look.
"Go home Mordred. That's the last time I'll say it." Said Naruto before exiting his office
Mordred's entire body shook in rage, he dared to ignore her, to dismiss her, to banish her, to leave her!
"I HATE YOU NARUTO UZUMAKI! DO YOU HEAR ME, I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU PAY!" Mordred shouted as she got to her feet and glared after Naruto's retreating figure
"YOU AREN'T THE ONLY WHO KEEPS THEIR WORD! I SWEAR I'M GOING TO DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU LOVE AND WORKED FOR, THIS VILLAGE, THE PEACE BETWEEN NATIONS, I WILL BURN YOUR WORLD TO ASH AND I WILL KILL YOU! I SWEAR IT!" Mordred shouted her face twisted in an expression of hate and rage
She doesn't care what she has to do, how far she has to go, she will not rest until she kills Naruto Uzumaki.
*Timeskip-One Month*
Marching up to the Hokage's Office with her guards trailing behind her was a beyond pissed off Shion. Barging into the office Shion saw Naruto's surprised look when he saw her.
"Shion what are you-"
Shion cut him off as she slammed her hands on his desk and glared at Naruto.
"Where. Is. My. Daughter?!" Shion demanded
"What? Mordred, I sent her back to the Land of Demons." Said Naruto frowning
"Well she isn't there! And I can't find her! What did you tell her Naruto?!" Said Shion angered beyond belief that her daughter is currently missing.
"The truth." Naruto stated simply
"The truth?" Shion repeated, Naruto nodding
Her anger only increasing Shion grabbed Naruto's wrist as her eyes took on their kaleidoscope pattern they normally gained whenever she received a vision of the future. Though she's since gotten a better control that it no longer activates involuntarily and can see visions of other things as long as she concentrated a specific person or item or made physical contact.
It took a moment for Shion to see just what happened between Mordred and Naruto, and it only made her anger increase beyond what she thought possible of feeling. Exiting the vision Shion immediately backhanded Naruto across the face.
"You selfish, immature, bastard! She was your daughter, her entire life all she wanted was to meet you and you say that to her! That she was just you fulfilling a damn promise!" Shion shouted
"What did you want me to do?! I made that promise when I didn't fully understand what you asked of me! I already started a relationship and was set to be married when you showed up!" Naruto retorted
"You were sixteen and spent three years with probably the biggest pervert in the world! How could you not know what I meant?!" Said Shion having believed Naruto understood what she had meant not believing anyone could be that dense
But apparently Naruto Uzumaki was in fact that dense, even when girl asks him straight to his face to impregnate her!
"That doesn't change the fact I was already getting married and set to become Hokage. What would the villagers think, what would the other Great Villages think, if I acted like I could do whatever I want just because people called me a hero, like cheating on my future wife!?" Retorted Naruto, Shion looking at him in disgust
"So that's it? You care more about what others think of you than your own flesh and blood?" Shion questioned, Naruto remaining silent all but confirming Shion's words
"You know the Naruto I met years ago, the one who helped me believe that you could change fate, that we could choose a better one, who saved my life? I honestly hope he died during the Fourth War, because you aren't the same person I knew back then Naruto. Consider the alliance between Konoha and the Land of Demons terminated along with our friendship." Shion said coldly
Turning to leave Shion stopped short before whirling around and slapping Naruto again.
"And if you ever come near my daughter again, I will kill you." Shion swore glaring at him
With that Shion and her guards left the tower and the village, none of them wanting to spend another moment in this village of hypocrisy.
*Later*
Naruto groaned as he entered his home feeling both mentally and physically exhausted from the day's events.
Entering the dining area Naruto stopped short when he saw his wife, Hinata Uzumaki nee Hyuga, sitting at the table with a cup of tea.
"Hinata, what're you still doing up?" Naruto asked, Hinata taking a sip of her tea
"I heard Shion visited early." Stated Hinata, Naruto groaning again
"Hinata could we not disc-"
"Be quiet please, it's rude to interrupt." Hinata cutoff, surprising Naruto since it's rare for Hinata to, if ever, interrupt him
"I'm aware of why she was here, she's searching for Mordred, yours and Shion's daughter." Said Hinata, surprising Naruto again
"You knew she was here?" Naruto asked, Hinata nodding
Hinata had been aware that Naruto and Shion had a daughter, given Naruto telling her about the promise he made to Shion to continue the Priestess line. Hinata hadn't been angry or upset, she even told Naruto it was fine to keep his promise, it was one of things she loved about him. Hinata had even told Shion when her daughter was older she'd like to meet her. It would have been nice for Himawari and Boruto to meet their big sister.
"Yes I was aware, for almost three years." Revealed Hinata
"And you never told me? Why?" Questioned Naruto wondering why she never told him Mordred was here for that long
"Because I knew eventually she would tell you herself when she was ready. It was really admirable, she could have revealed herself the moment she showed up instead she chose to stay and become a ninja, someone her father was proud of." Hinata said before looking at Naruto with disappointment written clear across her face
"Instead the father she wanted to meet told her to leave and banished her for getting angry that she was told she wasn't wanted. I would have thought you would understand that Naruto, the desire to know your parents." Said Hinata, Naruto flinching at that
"That's a low blow Hinata." Naruto said
"So was banishing your own child. Tell me though did you turn your back on Mordred because she isn't our daughter or so nobody found out you slept with another woman?" Hinata asked, Naruto staying silent as he didn't have an answer
Sighing Hinata got up and put her empty cup in the sink before kissing Naruto on the cheek.
"I'm not angry, just disappointed. But Naruto-kun, I'm no longer going sit by and watch you ignore your family in favor of being Hokage. While it's noble and kind to see the entire village as family, you need to keep in mind there's a different between seeing people as family and those who are actually family." Hinata said looking at him sadly before going to bed
Slumping in a chair Naruto pinched the bridge of his nose.
"At least she has a good head on her shoulders, though unfortunately, I can't say the same for you boy." Came the voice of Kurama, the Kyuubi no Kitsune
'You wanna read me the riot act to Kurama?' Naruto asked mentally
"No because I know words never worked on you before. I'm just wondering what happened to the kid that fought tooth and nail to earn my respect and friendship because he's not the guy I'm talking to right now." Kurama said before going silent
Naruto sighed in frustration and wariness, feeling more tired than he has in years.
*Timeskip-Three Years*
"Boruto Uzumaki has been disqualified for using an illegal Ninja Tool!" Announced Rock Lee
"Boruto! You didn't… when we fought…" Said Shikadai looking down at his friend with a betrayed look on his face
Boruto looked away not able to meet his friends betrayed look.
"Quit, you fraud!"
"Trying to win by cheating!"
"You're disgrace to Konoha!"
"You're disqualified as a ninja too." Said Naruto pulling off his sons headband
That was what pushed Boruto over the edge as he glared at his father.
"Why, for acting just like ninja?!" Boruto shouted silencing everyone at his outburst
"So what if I used a Kote, it's a ninja tool everyone uses ninja tools. Does that mean kunai and shuriken are banned as well, what about swords, Yurui's bubblegum, or how about Clan Jutsu as well, not everyone can use those! What's the difference between a Kote and clan jutsu?! We're ninja, aren't we supposed to use any advantage in a fight?!" Boruto demanded glaring at Naruto
"Boruto! That's enough we'll discuss this at home." Said Naruto
"Or what? Are you gonna banish me like Mordred?" Said Boruto loudly enough for everyone to hear
"How do you-"
"Himawari and I were there that day. We heard everything." Boruto said, shocking Naruto
"Himawari might be able to hide it but she's upset at what you did, the pedestal she put you on since she was little, her love and respect was broken. And now you've lost my respect to, ya shitty old man!" Boruto said before taking back his headband only to throw it at Naruto's feet.
"Take it, see if I care. If being a ninja means that I'll end up like you, I'm fine being a civilian." Said Boruto
*Timeskip-Three Years*
*Now*
Everything had only gotten worse, with the Momoshiki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki attacking during the Exams. Then it wasn't long after Mordred resurfaced only she was stronger than ever before, but her hatred still burned brightly.
She had attacked during a Kage Summit, killing both Kurotsuchi and Chojuro, two of the Five Kage, before declaring the start of the Fifth Shinobi War giving everyone flashbacks to when Obito Uchiha did the same thing only Mordred has proven herself more dangerous by killing two Kage.
Though unlike Obito, Mordred gave no one time to gather their forces, attacking the Five Nations all by herself and cutting down all opposition with extreme prejudice. By the time the Villages could mount a counter attack most of their forces had already been wiped out leaving only a couple hundred from each of the Five Nations, most of whom now lay dead.
Now they were engaged in their final clash and both knew one of them was going to die.
Looking in his daughters eyes Naruto saw only hatred, loathing, and a desire to see him dead.
'Have I really been putting my duties as Hokage above my families? Caring more about the village as a whole?' Naruto wondered
Suddenly his surroundings changed into one he was very familiar with.
"Old Man Six Paths." Naruto said seeing Hagoromo Otsutsuki floating before him
"Hello Naruto. I had hoped the next time we met it would be in the Pure Lands, instead here we are once more." Hagoromo said sadness and disappointment lacing his tone
"You know what's happening then." Stated Naruto
"Yes, while you might not have seen me I have always been watching. Watching you make the same mistakes I made with Indra, mistakes you have now made with your daughter. Only much, much worse." Hagoromo said having seen the power Mordred now wields that made her a threat greater than his elder son.
Naruto looked down at this knowing the Sage was right, it actually made the blonde let out chuckle of bitter irony.
"Tell me old man, is it just a family curse for us to achieve peace, only to have it be torn apart because of us failing as parents?" Naruto asked looking somberly at his father from another life, as Hagoromo smiled sadly.
"If such a curse exists I'm afraid it's beyond even my power to break it." Said Hagoromo
Maybe such a curse did exist, Hagoromo possessed the power to rival a god, yet in the end it meant nothing when he failed his own children. Asura and Indra forever trapped in an endless feud and now it looks like that same feud will continue.
"How do you do it? Watch the world you helped create be torn apart again and again?" Naruto asked
Hagoromo looked at him while gazing off at the distance.
"Faith, I must have faith that the next generation can be better than the old one. It might seem naïve to some, but when you have lived as long as I have faith is all you can have. What did Nagato say to you Naruto; that you were the third part to conclude the series?" Hagoromo said
"Yeah, he said Jiraiya was the first part… he was flawless… but… the second part was himself and he was a complete failure… and I was the third part, the one to settle it all… becoming a masterpiece that the failure will be like it was cancelled altogether. But I think really, I'm the failure, Nagato helped inspire me to achieve Jiraiya's dream of peace, but now because of me, that same dream will die." Said Naruto looking down with nothing but guilt and self-loathing.
"It takes a wise man to admit he made mistakes Naruto. But tell me do you know how to correct them?" Hagoromo asked
Naruto looked down at that for a moment before looking up.
"Yes I do." Naruto said, Hagoromo nodding
"Then go. Do what must be done." Said Hagoromo
Opening his eyes Naruto saw Mordred still descending towards him, her sword ready to clash with his Rasengan. Taking a breath Naruto cancelled the Rasengan, much to Mordred's surprise.
*SQUELCH*
Naruto grunted in pain while Mordred could only look on in shock, as her blade impaled him in through the chest.
"You… didn't dodge. Why?" Mordred said not believing he didn't move out of way of her attack or try stopping her
Rather than respond Naruto dropped to one knee and smiled at Mordred despite the pain he was in.
"I'm… sorry for not… being the father… you deserve." Naruto said
"What I said to you… years ago… I shouldn't have… Ever since I became Hokage… I've put villages needs above my families… and in the end it cost me… everything I should have cared for… instead I took it for granted… I know I don't deserve forgiveness but you should know… I am proud of you, your strength, and determination… you never hurt innocent people or put them in harms way… even when you had no obligation to…" Naruto said before coughing up blood as he felt himself getting weaker, while Mordred couldn't say anything to surprised at what she was hearing
"Mordred… I just want you to know… no matter where you go… what you do… I hope eventually you can live in peace without… the burden of hatred…" Said Naruto smiling at his daughter
"Naruto, I can heal you." Kurama said
'Don't Kurama, my times come and gone. Now it's time to entrust the world to the next generation, besides if the world needs a protector I know Sasuke will be still be here. Along with you and the other Tailed Beasts.' Naruto thought
Kurama looked down at Naruto's representation in his mindscape as he felt something drip down his face. Raising a hand Kurama saw tears in his eyes, the last time he cried was when Hagoromo passed away.
"You really are a damn brat you know that." Said Kurama
'Heh, I'll miss you to buddy.'
With that final thought Naruto Uzumaki, the Child Prophecy, Savior of the World, the Nanadaime Hokage, and the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune passed away with a smile on his face.
Mordred looked down at Naruto's body Clarent slipping from her grasp, as her expression changed from surprised to melancholic. She didn't react when it started raining merely looking at the body of the person she once loved with her entire heart, but now unquestionably hated.
"You… really are a bastard you know that? You deny me love, recognition, respect, my very existence, and now…" Mordred said through gritted teeth before throwing her head back
"You deny me the satisfaction of my revenge!" Shouted Mordred her tears mixing with the rain
*Timeskip-Two Weeks*
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Shion asked looking at her daughter sadly who nodded
Mordred was out of her armor now wearing a white tube top that showed off her midriff, a long sleeve red leather jacket, denim short shorts, and black boots. She also had a storage scroll tucked in a storage seal on her jacket containing all her supplies, her armor, and Clarent.
"Yes mother, I can't stay in the Elemental Nations… not anymore." Mordred said looking down
After what happened two weeks ago Mordred just wanted to get out of the Elemental Nations and live her life free of the painful memories the place contained. Plus she doubts the remaining Kage and Ninja would want to ever see her face again considering everyone she's killed. On the plus side her rank in the Bing Book went up to SSS-Rank and earned herself a new nickname.
'The Knight of Treachery. It certainly has a nice ring to it.' Mordred thought the corners of her mouth twitching up
Sighing Shion knew there's no chance of convincing her daughter otherwise.
"Just… promise me you'll keep in contact and you won't throw yourself into dangerous situations." Shion pleaded not wanting to learn her daughter was dead or worse through a vision and not be able to do anything about it.
"I will keep in contact, but I can't promise not to end up in dangerous situations as danger usually ends up finding me." Mordred said with a small smirk, Shion smiling at her before pulling her daughter into a hug
"I love Mordred never forget that." Said Shion, Mordred nodding and wrapping an arm around her
"I won't mother." Mordred whispered, but Shion still heard
After a few moments they pulled back and Mordred walked up to the ship she booked passage on to take her out of the Elemental Nations. Climbing aboard Mordred looked over the railing at her mother as the ship soon began setting sail.
Seeing her mother waving Mordred waved back while fighting back tears at leaving behind the land she knew to the unknowns. Soon the docks were out of sight and Mordred lowered her arms looked off to where the ship was heading, as she did an old saying came to her.
"One chapter ends, and another begins."
Seemed like a fitting saying.
So, what did you think, good. Yep that's right Mordred, the Knight of Treachery, Saber of Red, Heir of Artoria, is Naruto and Shion's daughter. I included all of Mordred's time in the Elemental Nations all the way to her leaving, as a way to close the chapter on Naruto's era and open the start of Mordred's. Also I will be putting up a poll shortly after this chapter to decide where Mordred will be going, though keep in mind the winner of the poll won't be the final decision it's only to help me decide where you all want to see Mordred go first, and I won't be including the Fate Series as it's already been decided Mordred will go to the Fate World eventually. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't and don't forget to vote.
Storm out
