AN: Note – Alltariss – Welcome to the new rewritten version of Kings of Destiny Queens of Fate! I hope that you will find this new and improved version to be far more entertaining. But before you continue please read this Author Note as it contains a lot of information that is needed to fully enjoy this fic.

The first is that there will be a lot of differences that set this fic apart from established canon. I have read through quite a few books to gather a lot of research so that I can flesh out the world in a manner that is far more lifelike and convincing.

I have created an entire log of history dating back to the ancient times of Japan in order to recreate the Narutoverse in a way that is more realistic and detailed. This does not only include various clans that have historical importance, but also entire nations that are separate from the continent that the Narutoverse takes place on for the majority of the manga/anime.

The history of Naruto's homeland and the history of the other continents/nations will be explained in further detail as the story progresses.

I have always found that there were a lot of loopholes in the manga that were ignored due to suspension of disbelief. Such as the level of technology in the Narutoverse, this is hard for me to ignore as I have always wondered about such things. They talk about electricity, radios, computers, they even reference atoms and molecules when talking about Rasen-Shuriken, and yet they lack higher levels of weaponry such as guns or bombs? One of the Paths of Pein fired missiles from his arm for Kami's sake!

Therefore this fic will be an Alternate Universe as it will have substantial changes that are done to make sure that things at least try to make sense.

VERY IMPORTANT!

This fic will have moments that are graphic and contain scenes that may be filled with heavy violence, gore, and/or acts that are very depraved. This is how I envisioned what the Naruto manga would be like if instead of being made for Shonen Jump (which is designed for 14 to 16 or 18 years of age) it was instead made for adults and is a hell of a lot darker.

Also take note that in some places in the story I will place translations within parenthesises right next to the Japanese Romaji (Romanisation) Like so. Also I have placed asterisks alongside certain words* Like so, which is to notify to the reader that an explanation for it will be provided.

I will have an Author's Note at the bottom of each chapter which will have explanations for a variety of things such as Japanese culture and certain ideas/concepts that I have used, that I'm willing to elaborate on to give the reader a greater and more in-depth understanding of the Narutoverse I've created.

Now that all of that is done, please continue and enjoy reading!

Prologue

Pay Heed to History, Lest it Repeat

The Kyūbi reeled backed, unleashing the blast upwards to the sky. The beam's power was to such an extent that one may even think it tore the night sky asunder.

The beast was undeterred by its failure and once again began charge another sphere. Before Sarutobi or Jiraiya could think of a countermeasure, a giant toad only marginally smaller than the Kyūbi fell from the sky and slammed onto the creature's back.

"That's Gamabunta!" cried one of the shinobi. "And Yondaime-sama's(Fourth Hokage) with him!"

"Bunta, pin him down for a while!" Minato ordered.

"That ain't such an easy task!" the Boss of Toads replied.

The great amphibian struggled to hold the head of the beast in place. It was still charging up its attack despite being pinned down. Minato gathered as much energy as he could before leaping down onto the creature's fur and teleporting out.

The Kyūbi vanished making the toad hit the ground. The crowd of shinobi wondered what had just happened. A dome of light erupted far away marking the place where Minato had taken the creature.

"Quickly, everyone follow me!" the Sandaime commanded, rushing towards the location.

Minato instantly teleported as soon as the beam of light left the mouth of the beast. He appeared in the shack where he had left Kushina and his son.

"Minato," Kushina exclaimed, as he sank to his knees. "What's going on?"

"The man who attacked us is gone, but we need to seal the Kyūbi now."

Minato looked up, but was unable to meet her eyes. Kushina knew then and there exactly what her husband was planning.

"No, absolutely not!" she cried. "We are not sealing it inside our son."

"We don't have much of a choice." he said, slowly rising to his feet.

"I won't place that burden on my son!" she wept. "Can't you seal it in back inside me?" she pleaded.

"Look at your seal, Kushina," he pointed. "It's so damaged and wrecked that it'll take days to repair it well enough to be of any use."

He felt a pang of pain in his chest as he saw his wife weep, knowing that he was right.

"Kushina, I'm sorry," he whispered, tears flowing down his face. "You loved me, cared for me, made me a father, and brought so much into my life. I'm the Hokage and yet I'm powerless to save us all."

He reached out and held her close to him, seeking whatever comfort he could find.

"Whenever I dreamed of the future," Kushina began. "I saw nothing but happiness. You, me, and Naruto, all one happy family."

Minato released her and wiped his tears away.

"I'll use the Shiki Fūjin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal) to draw the Kyūbi inside Naruto."

Kushina shook her head. "You don't have enough Chakra, we'll both have to use it."

Minato wanted to disagree, but could not dispute her statement.

"If we both apply the Hakke no Fūin Shiki (Eight Trigrams Sealing Style), then…" Kushina theorised.

"Naruto will be able to withstand the full power, and they'll be no 'corrosion' until late in his life." Minato finished.

A deafening roar signalled that time was no longer on their side.

Minato teleported to Gamabunta who was waiting at the broken walls of Konoha.

"No time to lose Bunta. We have a Bijū to take down." Minato said.

"Well what are you waiting for? My wife could use a fur coat," replied the giant toad.

Minato teleported him to the field where he had sent the Kyūbi before vanishing again. A moment passed and he returned with Kushina and his son in tow.

"Bunta pin him down," Minato requested.

"As you wish," was the toad's reply.

Gamabunta and the Kyūbi launched themselves at each other. Kyūbi's fang and claw against Gamabunta's blade. With a deft twist, the toad's blade pierced the snout of the beast, pinning it to the ground.

Kushina stood aside Minato, tears forgotten, replaced with fierce determination. The clasped their hands together in the same Hand Seal. Their final moments had begun as they cried out each step and technique.

"Shiki Fūjin."

The Shinigami (Death God/God of Death) appeared behind both Minato and Kushina. Its eerie smile brought fear into the beast's mind. A ghostly hand protruded from Naruto's stomach and latched itself to the Kyubi's head, drawing it into the child's body.

"Shishō Fūin (Four Symbols Seal)."

Inscriptions appeared on the belly of their child written in obscure text.

"Hakke no Fūin Shiki."

The inscriptions glowed, signifying that they now combined.

Naruto begun to glow and shine until the light became almost as bright as the sun itself. A blast of radiance erupted as his parents fell to the ground dead.

Explanations for Japanese culture and certain ideas/concepts that I have used, as well as words/terms/names used.

Yondaime Hokage – This translates to 'Fourth Fire Shadow'. For those who know a little about numbers in Japanese will notice the use of 'Yon' instead of 'Shi' for the number 4. This is because 'Shi' can also be translated to 'Death'. Thus it is no longer used very often when referring to the number 4 except in certain cases.
