My fans of Mysterious Power, Last Vampiress and more behold the new Naruto story, the final of the trinity of tales that feature revolving good members of Team 7.
First Mysterious Power's good Kakashi
Then Last vampiress's good Sasuke
This fic will have a good Sakura in the harem...who will have reason to not be herself as seen in part 1, and also to get the complaints out of the way now, Hinata is also in it. However, before the complaints come as they have before, this Hinata will not be her canon self...as completly as the other two Hinata's I've done.
This Hinata will take a few ques off Road to Ninja. Erm...well she won't be a Hinata who beats Neji for being a Jiraiya and won't be the kind of Hinata who'd probably rape Naruto in his sleep...but some qualities will be used.
But, enough with dealing with the inevitable flames, TO THE STORY
'The Afterlife'
Kushina was a lovely looking, action girl with slender form and red hair the color of the deepest of tomatos (Bring up the fruit around her at your own peril), that was divided into many strands. Her eyes were blue and her skin fair.
And she was quite lost. One moment she had been stabbed in the stomach by the claw of the Kyuubi that had been previously sealed within her, then released by the masked 'Madara', to protect her newborn son.
And now, she was in a poor area of town that looked so far behind technologically and culturally it made some war torn areas of home look nice.
It was filled with rag wearing, desperate people.
It was only then she noticed a ticket in her hand.
Welcome, newly deceased to District 80, Zaraki. Enjoy death. Soul Society
At that, Kushina screamed in horror...as the sky turned red.
"NARUTO!" so went the scream of the heartbroken mother
'The Afterlife'
Just as Kushina was screaming in horror at being stuck in the soul society, she found herself, at the very same time, she found herself in a far more...advanced place.
A waiting room, filled with hundreds of see through people, while some of music was playing in the background. The room was steel gray, an elavator was in the background that seemed to be going down, down, down to what seemed to be the center of the earth, and on the front door, which she nor anyone else here could seem to get near, had a sign that said
NO SOLICITORS. NO LOITERING. NO LIVING
The place had a name, DOA Recording Studios.
At that, Kushina once again screamed in horror...as the sky turned red through the window
"NARUTO!" so went the scream of the heartbroken mother once again.
A few dozen assorted afterlifes, screams and traumas later
"NARUTO!" Kushina burst out of...was that even a series of nightmares(?)...to find herself in a cold room...filled with motionless bodies, the victims of the Kyuubi's controlled rampage.
A morgue?
Though Kushina quickly checked her pulse, showing that she was alive, though she gave out a heart wrenching yelp when she saw her dead husband beside her, one question was on her mind, even as minute flickers of pain seemed to center around her eyes.
Where was her son? Where was Naruto? His Godfather wouldn't be back for a week so he wouldn't have him...(A thought that both comforted and worried her...)
Kushina was aware that Minato did intend to seal the Kyuubi into Naruto, a process that Kushina believed she had died to allow to happen. Not only did it give Naruto a way to be protected from the masked man who attacked, but it also kept the Kyuubi from, had her plan of resealing the beast into her supposedly dying body been done, the beast would have reincarnated somewhere else, and not only likely kill thousands but be in the reach of the masked man again.
And it would have attacked Konoha, again. No matter what, it was a bad scenario.
Perhaps Hirizen had him? After all, its not like anyone would know he was a jinchuriki...few knew she was after all.
"What in Kami's name..." she turned to see a eye glass wearing, thin, black wearing and black haired diener, or a person who operated a morgue, blink at her in shock as he walked in "How the hell are you alive!? You had a giant hole in your stomach"
Ignoring the eye pain that had gotten worse with each traumatic realization of death (in dream...maybe) she had, and the sight of her dead husband, Kushina frowned.
"I'm a fast healer" she said dryly, one of the very few good things about being a Jinchuriki was increased healing. The list of negatives was so long the author could write an entire 2000 word chapter on them. "Where's my son?"
Grumbling, the diener adjusted his glasses as he took out a sheet of paper...a casualty list "Hmmm, got a list of all the last minute, recorded and verified declarations, wills and relations here...name"
She would have loved to say Namikaze Uzumaki Kushina, but the day of their wedding a Iwa army had attacked the border, and Minato was forced to postpone. Normally such a delay would have meant nothing to the Yellow Flash, but the ninja leading the Iwa army was Roshi, the Jinchuriki of the Yonbi.
That day he got the title, only Iwa ninja to survive an encounter with her husband and fight him on equal terms.
So, due to that and some lava based wounds, the wedding ended up delayed...to a week after today.
"My name is Kushina Uzumaki, fiance..."
"YOUR RELATED TO THE DEMON!" he was suddenly very harsh and nasty sounding.
Demon...oh no
Faster than a Nara from work, a Akamichi to a feast or a Inuzuka from a bath, Kushina sped off, knocking the man over and onto the ground with a hard thump as she ran to find her son before it was too late.
Though as she fled out of the morgue door, knocking the foreyed diener jerk to the ground, no one saw her eyes.
How they briefly flickered to a purple set of rings.
The Council chamber
Democracy...can be flawed, though this is true of all government, or lack of it.
"KILL THE DEMON!"
"AVENGE THE YONDIAME!"
It meant that you had to listen to the ravings of majorities and minorities, though in this case it was the former.
While civilians, and quite a few ninja, were screaming for the death of the 'demon', the same thing was going on in the council.
The swearing in of the replacement for the Yondiame, the former Sandiame, would not be until the Daimyo called for it, which due to prior events for the leader of the Land of Fire and damaged to the roads by Kyuubi's rampage, would not be for a fortnight.
Due to this, he lacked the normal influence that the Hokage would have legally, and the civilian council and some members of the Ninja council, were taking advantage of this fact.
In fact, it was probably only due to the old, tanned and grayed man holding the sleeping blond boy (Via a noise deafening barrier around Naruto's sleeping body) that had avoided an assassination attempt, yet
"The demon must be killed!" a civilian council member stated as if it was law.
"You do realize that in doing so, the Kyuubi will escape and most likely come back here to finish what it had started?" Hiashi, a robe wearing, black haired man of severe appearance, stated blandly. His wife, Hitomi, was a friend of the late Kushina, and one of her only two friends who knew she was a Jinchuriki. Thus he had an idea of the workings of the seal.
Her other friend Mikoto Uchiha's husband Fugaku, on the other hand...
"Weaponize it. Give the brat to Danzo" the brown haired jerk commented.
The heavily bandaged Danzo looked up from his staff "You do realize that de emotionalizing Jinchuriki is one of the worst things one could do?"
Killing, isolating or weaponizing the boy would do nothing good for Konoha in the long run.
"SO KILL IT! NO EMOTIONS FOR IT AT ALL!"
"You civilians are a troublesome band of screechers" The scared and dark haired Shikaku Nara woke up for long enough just to say before he fell back to sleep. "You keep proving my general view that chakra increases over all intelligence...what a drag to be proven right" then he'd have to write the report.
"KILL IT DEAD!" A civilian finally decided to get up and approach the Sandiame in a idiot move...before a sudden blur flew in behind him and grabbed him from the neck.
"GET AWAY FROM MY SON!" Kushina snarled, sounding a lot more demonic and dangerous than the one day old with the Kyuubi in him.
"Kushina!?" Sandiame and Hiashi said in shock. They had put her body in the morgue with Mikoto and Hitomi. They checked her pulse...
Yet this wasn't a genjutsu, the council and Hokage's chambers were grafted with anti genjutsu Fuinjutsu by Mito Uzumaki herself in order to ensure no one attempted to deceive her husband.
They still worked, so this was no genjutsu...
The woman who was most likely Kushina dropped the Civilian, who was coughing and crying from the afterthoughts of being choked, as she ran for her son. With some hesitation, Hiruzen handed the boy to her...ready to move if she tried anything.
Though the look in her eyes, of maternal love, was just too damn hard to fake, so for now Hiruzen relaxed.
"YOUR ITS MOTHER!"
Kushina glared at the minor clan who just squaked.
"Yes, I am HIS mother, Kushina Uzumaki, fiance..."
"WE DON'T CARE WHO YOU CLAIM THAT THING WAS SIRED BY! ITS..."
"Can't you just make some declaration or something to shut him up old man!?" Kushina grumbled as the KI from her increased, as did that odd pain in her eyes she kept ignoring with her willpower and shinobi stoic training.
The Sandiame had a grimaced "Even if I do not have power officially for the next few days, I hereby decree that speaking of Naruto Uzumaki's status as a Jinchuriki will be punishable by death, Kushina excluded!" the last one was an afterthought.
"Sandiame...are you sure about this" Koharu harpied. "The boy is too dangerous without more seals on him, failsafes..."
"Failsafes that will not be needed if he has no reason to hate the village, which stopping the spread of malice about him to those his age and to him before he's old enough will prevent'
"You can't enforce that...your not Hokage..." Fugaku sputtered in rage
"True Fugaku, but that doesn't mean that Kushina won't be allowed to defend her son, before or after I am reinstated"
"WE UCHIHA are the Police! We will enforce punishment when due..."
"No Uchiha, you will not. This is a direct order from the Hokage pro tempore, soon to be Hokage in full. As loyal members of the pack, we will follow it" Tsume Inuzuka, the beast woman, and her giant, scared dog companion Kuromaru both growled in agreement.
"Its a troublesome drag, but the Nara, and in place of our missing brothers and sisters in arms the Akamichi and Yamanaka" who were injured by the attack "Stand by it" Shikaku added with a yawn
"Rarely do I agree with Hiruzen...but today I do" Danzo frowned.
"So do the Aburame. We understand Jinchuriki" the trenched coat Shibi Aburame buzzed.
"The Hyuuga stand by it as well" Hiashi finalized as Fugaku and the other Naruto haters looked sick to the stomach.
Later, Uzumaki home
The Uzumaki estate had been the living place of Mito Uzumaki following the death of her husband. She had lived there while in Konoha, and Minato had moved in after they got serious due to the fact he lived in a poor apartment.
It had been purposed for the birth of Naruto, meaning she did not have to go into the hate filled streets of Konoha as she placed the still sleeping bundle who was Naruto in its warm folds as the frustrations seemed to radiate off Kushina like gravity.
Why did 'Madara' have to attack? Why did Minato have to die? Why did Konoha had to be filled with all this hate? Pang...And why did she keep feeling pain around her eyes.
She clutched her face as the pain that kept harassing her eyes multiplied one hundred fold. Clutching her forehead, she decided that she would take a headache pill and hope this had all been a very, very bad nightmare.
However, once she saw in the mirror what had happened to her eyes...thoughts of sleep left her.
"WHAT THE HELL!"
They were no longer the gentle blue...they were all purple rings.
So goes chapter 1. What was with the guest appearance of death areas from Bleach and Percy Jackson? Can I manage to make the Rinnegan not a game breaking kekkei genkai? Stay tuned.
