Legend of the Kōjin no Kōtei

Prologue: The Genesis of the Maelstrom

A Storm was brewing, pitch black clouds roamed and engulfed the sky as thunderous booms of roaring lighting shot through the sky piercing through the veil of the ebony night. The heavy rain pelted the land beneath it soaking all it landed upon. The turbulent winds swirled with its speed and velocity making the tree's rustle and groan in protest.

OwO

Long ago in Ancient Times before the Era of Shinobi before The Era of Ningen was a time where Mankind was still in its infancy. Among these humans lived one man who stood out from the majority. Bearing a Staff and robes that depicted him as some sort of Priest, a strange man whose violet ripple pattern obs held the power to do miraculous things.

OwO

Through the storm, through the forestry a red blur ran past many of the trees which was soon chased down by a couple of black blurs. The storm seemingly have no effect on whatever was running through the forest. Dashing through the dirt trails, weaving through the tree's and hopping over the rivers the blurs all sped through the forest. All none the wiser as the storm above them got harsher and more brutal with each passing second.

OwO

This man was said to be the Father of the Ningen, Master of the Elements, wielder of a power nigh any mortal could understand, it was this man that fought the apocalyptic monster with ten tails. The Harbinger of chaos and discord. The Juubi was its given moniker, a title bestowed from the priest and, it was soon told that the man fought down the beast and sealed it into himself making him the first of what would be known as Jinchūriki.

OwO

The sound of men cursing could barely be heard over the raging storm deafening all other sounds, animals tied to this forest were already hidden away trying to keep themselves safe from the growing storm above them. A red blur shot passed a den of bears which soon weaved through a couple of trees before jumping over a small ravine before dashing through the trees.

This red blur was none other then a girl not even out of her teens, she could only be described as a young girl who in spite of the anxiety, nervous and slight fear growing in her violet orbs held an excellent show of agility and endurance at the speed and pace she was going. Though exhaustion was clear as day as her long maroon hair was matted down by the encroaching downpour, her clothes though disheveled and torn slightly showed they too were soaked to the bone.

OwO

However on his deathbed it is said he bestowed the youngest of his two sons his successor and in doing so the Eldest grew to become hateful and spiteful towards his own sibling and had attacked him on the very night their father had died. However on his deathbed the man had before the Juubi could break free from its confinement split the beast's power and soul and nine different parts and sent them all across the continent while he had sealed the body in the sky which was now known as of today as the moon.

On that day that man was officially called the Rikudō Sennin of the Six paths, and while that was the same day a long line of family feud would develop later into a bloody rivalry between two clans.

OwO

The young redhead glanced over her shoulder and seemingly think she had lost her pursuers she sighed slightly before she sped forth trying to find the nearest safe location she could hide out for a while. Peering through the raging winds and heaving raid she could see the faint outline of a small entrance, and desperate to find a safe haven as temporary as it may be she dashed toward it and through its entrance not truly seeing that above the entrance was a giant structure covered by green moss and multiple veins that looked like to be a temple.

Soon the black blurs appeared near the entrance and the figures clearly shown as males looked toward each other and gave a subtle nod before they disappeared into the entrance as well.

OwO

However what a rare few knew on that night when the Rikudo faced down the terrifyingly powerful Juubi a beast that even with the Rikudo's level of power many found hard to even hurt let alone defeat hard to believe. However before the Rikudo had even faced the bijuu it had already come into contact with a rather unassuming little village high up into the mountains attacking it and tearing apart while ravaging the countryside.

It's destructive attack's had nearly obliterated the entire mountain and devastated the countryside and, it would have done more damage had it not been stopped by something. Legends speak that before the Juubi could destroy the mountain something had impacted with the beast as it howled in such anger and pain that echo across the lands before it was seen flying off the mountain by whatever had slammed into it.

OwO

The redhead girl upon entering the strange cave didn't stop her running as she kept looking over her shoulder where to her increasing fear could hear the multiple thuds of footsteps following after her. She didn't know where she was going or even seen for that matter as it was pitch black within thus running blindly into the darkness the young girl could only clench her eyes desperately trying to distance herself from her once upon a time captors.

Due to this and being unable to see through the darkness the young girl grunted when she felt herself run smack dab into what felt like a wall. Not knowing it her hand seemed to press deeper into the wall as she became worried there was no other means of escape.

Then suddenly without so much as a warning she felt the ground beneath shift and, then as the sounders of her pursuers got stronger.

She fell...

Her surprised yelp was silenced when she found herself meeting the cold hard ground like a long lost friend causing her to grumble as she held her head in pain.

''That hurt tte'bane~'' her soft whine echoed quietly which she seemed to notice when her violet eyes opened slightly before they started to get wider in surprise as she gazed around her in surprise and confusion at where she had ended up.

Where exactly had she entered? Was the question being asked numerous times and, it was in due cause because before there was nothing more then a dark lanky wet cavern of some sort that she couldn't see inside nor anything else besides running into some sort of wall in the darkness.

But now...

Everything was different; first of all there was light, lit torches hung among the walls and from the ceiling and, from the stone pillars. Thus allowing the girl to actually be able to see the extravagant and very old looking tomb of sorts. So stuck in her awe she forgot the trouble she was in and could only look around the room in wonder. Slowly she stood up and walked toward down the hall aligned by the stone pillars looking left and right the young redhead saw strange scriptures in symbols she had never seen nor hope to even translate, stone carvings of images that merely piqued her interest.

OwO

What the Juubi didn't know was that housed inside that unassuming village was the Noble Clan of the Oda, and with it was where the beast had met its match as the heir of said Clan was said to have been the one to hurled the Juubi off their mountain, and had faced the beast in combat. It was this event which had never been recorded in history, but this was how the downfall of the Great Juubi began for the heir had been the one to weaken the Juubi considerably and even scarred the behemoth which made it flee into the Rikudo's territory.

To this day not much is known about that battle or of the heir who faced and made the Juubi flee only that the man afterwards had disappeared off the face of the planet leaving a field in a sea of blaze leaving the wreckage of his battle with the demon. It was this reason the Rikudo was even able to seal the Juubi.

All because of one man...

OwO

The young redhead after walking down the torch lit hall glancing at the strange symbols and carvings along the way found herself standing below a giant podium which held another stone carving only this one was different from the rest for it was much bigger then the other being 4 feet in width and 6 feet in length. All off it was a carvings of what looked to be like a giant battle of sorts with sections changing to other scenes and such.

Yet the one thing that stood out was the giant ten tailed thing with a man wielding a sword with what looked like a drawing of fire surrounding the two. Strangely she felt a small pull when she stared at that lone figure and pulling up her hand she hesitantly placed her finger on the lone figure which for some odd reason caused her to smile.

''Oi! I think she's down here!'' the yell caused her to freeze before she turned around only for her eyes to widen when she found her pursuers entering the hall. Quickly she tried hidden behind the podium and, started to think of a way to avoid them.

Yet it was to no avail...

''Found her!'' one man signaled to his teammates as he found the terrified girl behind the podium who's eyes wide in fear before they were clenched shut as she let out a pained hiss when the main roughly grabbed her by her hair and pulled her up to show their target was in sight.

OwO

Yet time seems to have forgotten these events, the sands of the eternal everlasting time spread out to the four winds and soon all this became forgotten through history. As Mankind grew from the teachings of the Rikudo they soon started to forget and simply left the stories of old to be nothing more then Legends, Myths and Fairy Tales.

The man whom faced and had the Juubi flee from him who seemingly vanished from existence was said to have distanced himself from everyone and, everything. His Clan, His Life and even from His Time.

But now...on this stormy night...everything will change...the course of History shall be altered and the Elemental Continent will come to witness the winds of Change...

And the Flames of Destruction...

OwO

SMACK!

''You stupid bitch how dare you do that to us!?'' the man holding a firm grip on the young girls head shouted, and with the better lighting one could see he like his teammates had dark skin with all four having stark white hair. Their headbands were wrapped around their foreheads with a strange symbol signifying them as Kumogakure shinobi.

The redhead stared down as her cheek stung from the slap, but she was soon found thrown roughly to the podium causing her to grunt at the pain. However her eyes snapped open when she felt her arms held above her and a hand roughly grabbing her clothes, violet eyes widened before they shot upwards to the lecherously smirking men above her smaller frame.

''We'll teach you to mind your better's bitch because very soon you'll be pumping out children for Kumogakure's future, but I don't see why we can't just get you ready for whats to come, shall we boys?'' he said a growing smirk which was soon seen on all the men's faced as they inched closer to the girls frame. Her eyes only got wider and, tears started to build up in her eyes as she started to realize what they were going to do.

She screamed when the man holding her down gripped her clothing ripped off her vest and pulled out a kunai and started to cut off her shirt from the the bottom. She could do nothing as her shirt was cut in-between to show her still developing body to the hungry lustful gaze of these men. She was powerless as she started to pull off her pants, the fear of what was to come was building up inside her and, the thought of being raped and defiled by these bastards made tears fall from her eyes.

In but a few seconds she was in the tatters of her shirt as her pants was pulled her knees leaving her in chest to be seen where her breasts were wrapped in restraining bandages while below she wore simple panties which were about to be pulled off by these lecherous shinobi. When she felt their fingers getting to her panties her shot wide open and, slowly she let her tears fall salty hot tears fell splashing against the podium. Slowly and steadily she spoke in a hoarse desperate whisper which only got louder by the second.

''S-s-someone...h-help...'' her words were small, meek and under her trembling words alerted the shinobi before her who just smirked at her desperate whimper. Leaning down he firmly grasped her chin and made her look his way.

''No ones gonna help you bitch so just loosen up and enjoy it...'' before he smacked her again causing her face to roll to the side where her eyes brimming with tears soaking the podium stare out lifelessly as she just awaited the pain to come. She knew in reality there wouldn't be out at night to hear her scream but, she just hoped and prayed it would work.

She closed her eyes and, just as the sound of them pulling down their pants...

Crack!

A crack sounded small as it was Kushina heard it but, it was soon followed by an intense rumbling which shook the entire room causing the shinobi to falter in what they were about to do. The podium Kushina was on started to rumble and, with it the torches along the strange tomb like chamber blazed upwards before something caught their eye behind them they saw the floor started to move upwards separating into stairs leading upwards to what looked like a second level of the chamber.

They could only watch as the floor changing into a staircase stopped at the second level yet the rumbling didn't stop as they all looked up to see a giant slab of the wall started to slide to the left to show something that made the Kumon-nin's eyes widen and Kushina's violet orbs see as best she could at what was behind the wall.

It was a throne, a perfectly golden throne crafted by in such design that it was only fit for that of a Noble of the highest stature, the arms rests of said chair curled upwards in the form of two dragon heads with their jaws wide open. Snaking upwards the wings of a dragon spread out from the top of the throne with its wingspan spreading outwards to be at least 3 feet in length. Finally atop the headrest of said throne a giant emblem of what looked like a flame which seemed to be crafted suitable to be the signature piece for the throne itself.

However this was all taken in the span of a few seconds for it was the person sitting on the throne that had their attention the most. It was a man sitting peacefully on the throne, leaned back against the giant seat of power. One arm on the armrest while the other was holding up the man's face resting against the knuckles of his left hand. His eyes were closed while the steady rise and fall of the mans chest that he was-as hard as it was to believe-was asleep of all things.

However his clothing was strange to say the least one could only think he looked like some sort of priest with his robes as his clothing consisted of a white and red kimono with cherry blossoms adorning the neck and sleeves of his kimono a very old sign of someone that was of royal birth. Beneath it he wore traditional sashinuki hakama pants which were gathered at the mans ankles creating a sort of balloon effect. His footwear consisted of instead of the normal sandals they were accustomed to were a pair of flat pointed ankle-high boots. On his left shoulder was a spiked cauldron which was connected to a jet black cuirass where as a small black crest with the design of a golden pattern shaped to be of a birds nest or of a flower. On his right shoulder another black spiked pauldron was seen however it was more full body as it covered most of the man's right shoulder. Finally around the mans waist was a long flowing golden sash uniquely tied around the mans waist where at the ends it was decorated in black with flame looking designs intricately embedded into the fabric of the sash.

However it was when they heard a small almost quiet sigh escape the man caused the shinobi to snap their heads upwards to see the man's face. Spiky golden hair was evident for that was the first thing they saw a long golden mane of spiky golden locks fell from the mysterious mans head, two long bangs framed the sides of his face and the rest covered his ears and fell past his back. His skin was a unique tan, his face carried sharp features with a sharp jaw and sharp eyebrows.

His face was undeniably handsome and, his unique features were evident that he didn't look like a local of any nation they had seen with those characteristics but, Kuhsina who could barely seen much of the man felt her hope rising. Especially when the man's arm twitched as his eyes slowly shifted thus causing the shinobi to tense up; an uneasy silence followed as the man let out another sigh before his face scrunched up slightly.

Finally the man's eyes started to open up and, thus they reveled a dual pair of unfocused azure orbs glazed over with years of untold amounts of experience and void of any innocence long sing forgone. He blinked his eyes slowly one, two, three times before they started to focus outwards in which they scanned the tomb before him before they quickly fell upon the scene before him.

It was as if a light was turned on as the man's eyes became extremely cold, soulless as if they pierced into the souls of all those that were unfortunate enough to fall under his gaze. And right now those in his gaze were the four rather unlucky and unnerved Kumo-nin. Because they were rooted on the spot by the man's unnatural gaze, they felt a cold shiver crawl up their spine as the stranger merely straightened his body and, all the while gazing down the four stood up from his throne.

''I imagined to find myself in an empty tomb when I awakened, but to find myself before four men about to commit the greatest act of defilement in my temple. That cannot be forgiven...'' his voice was hoarse and deep from years of silence yet it was baritone with a great regal tone that nobles only dreamed of achieving.

Bones not used in ages popped and cracked as he stood, his kimono swayed from the action but, he merely waved it off as he stood to his full height which was a impressive height of 6'3. His long hair fell past his waist whilst he merely stared at the group for a moment before his soulless gaze fell upon the shocked and clearly traumatized girl laid out on the stone podium. It was for only a second before his gaze returned back to the four kumo shinobi and, with it his eyes narrowed ever so slightly.

Raising his hand the strange man merely pointed out, ''Defilers of my temple...Perish'' he spoke ending his tone with a stoic command. The shinobi blinked before one of the four shook himself out of his state to speak out against this clearly deranged-in their eyes-man with a sneer.

''And who are you to tell us what to do freak? Why don't you come down here an-'' he never got to finish.

As the blond man seemingly materialized infront of pointing his index finger on the mans forehead, his cold monotone gaze staring solely into the man's slowly widening black ones. The others soon only noticed his presence when the 'him' up top vanished in a wisp of wind and hearing the surprised grunt from their teammate.

The mysterious man's voice came out in a lazy drawl, but it held such cold hard authority that they were left frozen in their tracks.

''Did I give a worm such as you to permission speak? No I did not, I told you to perish, Defiler'' as he said this the mans index finger with blinding speed thrust his finger through the mans forehead and directly into his skull where blood was already pooling out at the injury the injured man could only grunt and whimper as the mans finger pierced through his skull like tissue.

''Now begone from sight, you worthless trash...'' as he said this smoke started to come out of the mans forehead and his eyes widened in sheer mind searing pain.

This time he screamed...

''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AHHHHHHHHHHHH! MY HEAD W-WHAT ARE YOU D-DOING...!'' the kumo nin screamed and bellowed as smoke started to rise from his forehead slowly followed by his ears, eyes and mouth. A wet splotch sounded as the blond man plucked out his finger throwing the remaining blood from his finger. His gaze baring down on the smoking man whom fell to his knees from the sheer pain was in all the while gripping his head.

''W-what did you to Hiyoru? Answer us!'' another demanded but, was effectively ignored as the blond just watched as the man screamed more and more in agonizing pain. His voice became more hoarse then before. The man's once dark skin started to turn blood red and, without so much as a second later the man snapped his head upward and let loose a soundless scream and what they saw terrified the kumo-nin on the spot.

Their teammates eyes were melting where it fluids trailed down into the man's open mouth where his tongue, teeth and gums started to melt as well teeth and all. His crimson skin suddenly combusted into a humanoid sized dark red flame where his hair had instantly been burned away leaving a bald head where the skin was burning away. The man lit ablaze merely tried to reach out desperately for anything, anyone to help him as he burned from the inside out empty eye sockets and mouth open in a ever lasting painful scream tore into the kumo-nin as they backed away from their teammate.

Not able to find anything the man who's skin was completely gone left nothing more then a skeleton organs and all were gone with not even ash remaining and yet even then the fire surrounding the skeleton did not dissipate even as the skeleton fell to the ground it continued to burn where it slowly turns charcoal black before the bones started to burn away into nothing.

Finished with that one the blond man turned his gaze to the others and spoke, ''Now for you three...'' the mans cold words caused the three now terrified kumo-nin to turn their heads toward the man to see his azure orbs piercing them down in all their glory. It pinned them down even as the death of their teammate happened before their eyes azure orbs glowed with an unnatural light cold soulless blue orbs held them down as he advanced upon them.

Desperately one stabbed his knee with a kunai to try and temporarily shake his paralyzed body to make it function once more. Then doing a set of handseals the kumo shinobi yelled out.

''Take this you freak! Raiton: Kaminari Yari!'' and with the release a giant lighting shaped spear shot toward the blond man at lighting fast speeds. The blond however just stared as the attack came closer and didn't bat an eye when the attack slammed into him creating a small explosion within the tomb which surprisingly held from explosion.

The Kumo-nin with his other teammates broken from their paralyzed state warily looked into the smoke to see if the man whom killed their teammate seconds ago was truly dead. Only to be shaken to their core when the blond merely stood there unscathed, unharmed as the attack clearly slammed right into him yet it had not left a single scratch?

His kimono waved in the slight breeze as he merely stared at the three with a look of impassiveness that is before he seemed to just vanish before materializing before the shinobi that attacked him and, without so much as a blink grabbed the man by his face and lifted him off the ground feet too hovering off the ground as well. The shinobi tried to desperately escape the man's iron grip yet failed due to the steel like grip he had on him and, could only mutter out a few muffled words

''What...a-are you?'' he spoke before he closed his eyes when the grip on his face increased two fold as the blond merely gazed at him as if he were nothing more then an annoying gnat.

''Nothing you shall concern yourself with defiler now perish from my sight fool...'' saying this he took his other hand plunged it into the man's lower abdomen causing the attempted rapist eyes to widen before he started to scream which were muffled by the mans hand. He could feel his hand digging through his body piercing his flesh and crushing his bones as it dug through his body. He could already feel himself lose consciousness when the man yanked out his blood soaked hand while pulling out his own liver before he crushed it in his hand before throwing it aside before he jammed his hand into his body through the upper torso.

Casually he yanked out his hand once more and this time he held within his hands the dying mans still bleeding beating heart veins and all it beat even as he clenched the vital organ in his hand which made it beat irregularly. Without so much as blink he let the man go before he slammed the organ into the man's mouth causing him to choke on his blood, saliva and tongue before the blond let him drop to the floor in a puddle of his blood.

Then without a second thought he brought his foot upward before bringing it down crushing the mans skull like a melon splattering gray brain matter, blood and done and flesh all over the floor. Without missing a beat he turned to he last two shinobi who at this point were on their knees quivering in fright any sense of fighting back was gone and replaced with it was a sense of complete despair as they were coming to find out only now that.

They were at the mercy of this monster...

''Now for you two begone from my sight, become food for the maggots in the soil.'' coldly stated he raised his blood soaked hand and without staining his kimono he appeared behind the third kumo shinobi and impaled his hand straight through his chest cavity before he pulled it back and along with it yanked the mans spinal column. Then with the dead man he threw him into the wall unhindered and with a swift turn he turned his gaze to the last of the four who by now was on his knee's with a dark stain spreading through his pain where a yellow puddle was gathering under the terrified mans legs.

Clearly the man was so scared he lost control of his own bladder and soiled himself...

The blonds face frowned in disgust as the man fell to his hands and started whimpering and begging in his own puddle of filth.

''P-p-please s-s-s-spare me! I-I have a family please d-d-don't kill me!'' he pleaded begging for his life like a dog. Once a Kumogakure shinobi now reduced to a mere whimpering man begging for his life in a puddle of his own urine and shit. It was disgusting, and it shown on the blonds face his soulless orbs narrowed on the man before just pointed his hand toward him and spoke.

''Defilers deserve no such mercy, especially those that beg and plead for their lifes like cowards, you stink of filth and stain my temple with your disgusting bodily fluids, begone!'' and with a mere wave of his hand an orb of pure fire conjured from seemingly nothing before he hurled it at the man who only screamed as the fireball slammed into him igniting his body and fluids under him in a giant fireball which started to burn away the stain that in his temple. Not batting an eye the man did the same to the other bodies letting their bodies burn away as did their skeletons and let their blood boil away into a iron smell of smoke.

Seemingly satisfied with his work the blond flicked his hand throwing the blood, flesh and whatever else that had gathered onto his hand throwing all of it onto the ground before he turned his gaze toward the young redhead girl who by now was staring at him with wide shocked violet orbs, tear streaks evident on her face, her eyes red and puffy with her clothing in disarray. To the slight confusion of the blond he saw no fear in the redheads eyes only emotions such as awe, shock, admiration and much more.

Blinking he merely shook his head before he raised his hand to her face

And before the girl could speak the blond spoke one word before she felt her eyes close and she too fell into the state of the sleep.

''Sleep''

OwO

The crack and popping of a camp fire could be heard in a small clearing of the forest that was once bombarded by a ravaging storm was now clear with the sky showing the midnight sky while a few clouds floated amongst the sky. The campfire's dim light lit up the small clearing where the animals of the forest kept their distance from the clearing so to not disturb those in the clearing. but because of something else.

What that was is anyone's guess...

In this small clearing however surrounding the small clearing two figures could be seen one was laying on the ground was the same young redhead girl from before covered in the tatters of her clothing while over her was a cloak. Her soft snores showed the young girl nearly traumatized by early days events was fast asleep.

On the opposite end of the fire the very same blond who had been awoken from within the temple sat staring into the campfire. One arm hung over his knee loosely while the other had his face resting against the knuckles of his hand. The blond's azure eyes stared into the fire for what seemed like seconds, minutes and hours thinking over what just happened a few hours prior to the present time.

'I wonder how much time has passed has it been years, centuries or even a millennium since my time? Its been so long yet feels only a day ago I was fighting the ten tails...I wonder how much has changed...' thinking the blond let his eyes casually move to the sleeping redhead, the very same who was close to being defiled in his very temple. Without thinking much on it he just took the girl with him after closing his temple off and making sure no one could enter it after leaving it.

Now here he was with a girl who had nearly been raped in his temple and in due cause was the reason he was awakened and, it was that which made him think on what to even do with the girl. Clearly she was too traumatized to even speak earlier but, now that he had taken her with him he was starting to contemplate on leaving her when she wakes up.

He still needed to learn all that had changed while he slept through the years...

''Mrghu~'' a grumble made the blond look toward his guest and, he was treated to the sight of the young redhead rubbing her head she pulled herself up from the ground. Luckily the cloak covered her modesty; he just watched as she started to awake before turning his gaze back to the fire. He had no time to partake with the girl much longer as he had to figure out all that's happened.

A silence followed until he heard a small voice speak up cutting into the silence like a hot knife through butter.

''A-ano...sir?'' merely glancing her way the blond saw the young girl sitting up timidly clenching the cloak around her body he saw that she was trembling clearly remembering the incident prior. but she still had the strength to speak to him. Surprising since most women put through such an event raped or attempted upon were nearly broken, but the girl had a surprising amount of willpower.

Merely raising an eyebrow in response the girls violet eyes looking back at him timidly she fidgeted slightly when he looked her way but, still she didn't shy away from his gaze. An act he found admirable because most people in his time couldn't so much as look him in the eye for even a second without shying away. Perhaps there was more to this girl then he first thought?

''Yes, child?'' he said as he stocked the flames causing the wood to pop as the flames rose in intensity. He glanced over to see the young redhead squirm as she pulled the cloak around herself how she looked his way with a thankful look in her eyes.

''Thank you for saving me.'' she said causing the blond to stare at her for the longest of seconds before he turned back to the flames.

''Your gratitude is noted, but misplaced young one. You stumbled upon my Tomb, and had your voice not awoke me...you would have been defiled regardless.'' the way he said this made it sound a bit harsh, but the girl seemed to understand. Pulling her knee's to her chest she too gazed at the flames while glancing every so often at her savior.

Then she looked his way causing him to glance her way as she gave a small grin, ''Heh gomen my names Uzumaki Kushina what's yours?'' she said causing the man to glance her way with a raised eyebrow. That is until he gave her a small nod before he looked towards the fire causing Kushina to frown at his lack of response before she sadl turned to the fire. That is until she heard the man speak.

''Oda...'' he said causing her to blink as she looked to see him staring into the fire.

''My name...is Oda Naruto...'' he said glancing her way, but seeing as he responded to her caused the young Uzumaki to smile greatly. Still the man's name rung in her ears as she thought about the name.

'Mou~ Oda sounds familiar to me, but I can;t remember but Naruto...Maelstrom...' she smiled faintly at the name. Why did she like the sound of that name so much?

Then she heard the sound of shuffling before she saw Naruto stand from his spot, and because of this Kushina was able to see an additional accessory on her saviors body.

It was a weapon, a katana to be exact. It's handle was purple with the hexagonal designs running the length of the handle being a dark azure. The pommel gold while the guard was also gold, but it was in a circular shape with a strange dragon like design running around the guard. He katana was a bit longer then an average katana, but the sheathe was pure black and was held in his sash. The strange thing was as Kushina looked upon the blade she could literally feel the an insurmountable of power leaking off the katana.

Still panic rushed through her veins when she saw the man getting up to leave, and whatever possessed her to speak up came rushing forth.

''W-wait! Where are you going?'' she asked causing Naruto to look her way with his impassive expression.

''I'm leaving, I no longer have any reason to stay here, and I must find out how long I've been asleep.'' he said causing Kushina's eyes to widen. The trauma of the incident before was still fresh in her mind, and being left alone only caused her to feel an intense amount of fear to swell up in her. Plus she strangely didn't want to be distanced from this man who had saved her from being raped because something about him made her want to be by his side.

All the same she quickly thought up multiple ideas before she spoke.

''Wait! If it's information you're looking then I know where you can go!'' she said causing him to halt in his step before he looked towards her with a intense gaze.

''And that would be?'' here Kushina stood from the ground keeping the cloak wrapped around her body, and walked up to Naruto with nervous expression. Soon she stood before the man staring up at his noble features with a serious eye.

''Uzugakure, in Uzu no Kuni and my home. My Clan the Uzumaki hold the most extensive library in the Elemental Nations. If anyone knows anything you are looking for it would be in my clan, and I'm sure they would help you after helping me.'' she said with a grin as Naruto raised an eyebrow.

''And why's that?'' though he had a good idea as to what the young redhead meant.

''Because I'm the heiress of the Uzumaki Clan, and my father is the Clan head and Uzukage of our village.'' she said causing Naruto to look down at Kushina before he closed his eyes, and for the first time in who knows long he gave a small chuckle at the girls underhandedness because she would be getting help to get back home while he would have his first clue to find out how long he'd been gone from the world.

He had to admit she was a very smart girl despite her young appearance, and intellect he could respect.

''Very well, I'll take you home, but you must have me meet with your father, agreed?'' he aid causing he young girl to give a thumbs up with a grin.

''You bet, ttebane!''

This time Naruto's eyebrows rose as Kushina went silent before she found him looking at her with a perplexed expression before her face went beet red at her slip up. Her hands went to her mouth, but the damage had been done.

''Ttebane?'' he said testing the word, but this just caused Kushina to sink further into his cloak to hide her beet red face from his questioning gaze.

'Great I just had to let it slip out infront of Naruto-kun...'

Wait...

'Where did kun come from?'

1 Week Later-Nanamushi

Kushina had to admit after traveling with Naruto for the past week from between the borders of Kaminari no Kuni and Shimo no Kuni had been both a very enlightening experience and a nice change of pace. Because for one she wasn't surrounded by bodyguards of Uzu shinobi or those Konoha shinobi that had failed in letting her get attacked by Kumo. She was only walking side by side Naruto, and it was...nice.

She couldn't exactly put it into anything else, but that it was nice to have traveled with the ever silent Naruto. His company had been something she found to be extremely grand to have because he didn't ignore her or played off her words because she was a child. However he also didn't give off the impression that he was a bad person in fact if she was honest with herself she felt a lot safer in his company then anyone else.

This thought process was only strengthened by the fact that as they traveled some would be bandits threatened Naruto. But within then the blink of an eye Naruto kept walking as they all fell to the ground with puncture wounds in each vital area. They had even come across a few Nuke-Nin, but Kushina was once again awed at the speed and power Naruto used to dispatch them. The fact of the matter was that Kushina had learned that she on so e base level felt more at peace, safe and much more comfortable with Naruto then she ever had with anyone else.

However she did learn a few thins about her savior from what little she could learn that is. One of those things was that Naruto always carried an air about him that was fit for a man of noble status, but not one of those snobbish daimyo she had seen, but a man that had earned his status through blood, sweat and tears. The very atmosphere he gave off caused many of the people they had passed through the small villages to gaze upon him in awe. Some had even lined up to just see Naruto passing through because in their minds they thought he was some kind of noble Daimyo from a foreign country.

But Kushina found it a bit annoying to her that women always gave him heart struck looks, gazes and expressions that just annoyed her to no end. She didn't know why it did, but it did and she had to hold back a growl each time she saw a woman swoon at the sight of him.

However the most interesting hing she'd learned was that through all the confrontations with bandits and Nuke-Nin she never once seen Naruto unsheathe his katana. Something she found to be strange because he merely used his speed and strength to puncture, disrupt or crush vital organs or areas in each persons body. However from what she'd seen of his abilities Naruto had a very great control over Fire so great in fact that he didn't even use a handsign or utter a word, and just willed it to his fingertips, and it came as if beckoned by its master.

It was honestly one of the coolest things she had ever seen...

Nonetheless the redhead found herself and the blond haired Oda walking through the port town of Nanamushi off the border of Yu no Kuni. And like usual she could see a lot of people staring at Naruto with shock, awe, and surprise as the two walked towards the docks. Gotten used to it already Kushina ran forward before she grasped the bars to hold herself up so she could see the open ocean. Her eyes closed as the soft breeze of the ocean rushed past her face causing her red hair to flow in the breeze. Her eyes opened to see in the far distance to see the island which was her birth land.

Feeling someone walk up at her side she looked to see Naruto looking out at the see with a impassive face, but she could see his eyes looking out amongst the ocean.

''Tell me Naruto-kun, what do you think of the ocean?'' she said, after having let it slip a while back Kushina had been embarrassed at letting it slip. However seeing as he hadn't showed any dislike for the suffix she kept giving it to his name.

Naruto just looked to Kushina before he gazed out at the ocean as a strange expression came to his face, and one Kushina couldn't decipher.

''The ocean is vast and unpredictable, but it is what makes humans think of the greatest of freedom and that is to go out at sea. That way they never feel restricted by land, and can experience true freedom without laws or restrictions to bind them. However...the same can't be said...for its polar opposite in the elemental cycle...'' he uttered. Kushina stared at him drawn in by his words, and the amount of truth they held, but the last bit caused her to frown because he'd barely spoken loud enough for her to be unable to hear him.

''Nevertheless lets be going...'' he said making her nod, and thus the two went towards the dock master to rent a boat.

So we find the duo in a transport ship where Kushina was happily staring out at the open ocean, and to where Uzu no Kuni was coming clearer to see. Naruto on the other hand sat with his katana leaning against his shoulder while placed in between his legs. His stoic eyes looked upon the ocean until his eyes fell upon something that caused his eyes to narrow. In the far distance he saw a giant storm building up in the far west he continued to gaze out at the storm until his eyes picked up the slightest hazy shadows in the far horizon.

He decided to not comment as he looked back to see the driver expertly bypass the field of savage whirlpools causing Naruto to raise an eyebrow that is until he saw Kushina excitingly stare out at the island that was coming closer causing him to grasp his katana as Kushina quickly pulled on his hand. Paying the boat driver he let the young redhead pull him along as if she knew the entire island like the back side of her hand. Seeing who she was it wasn't much of a surprise really.

Still he felt his katana tremble before he grasped in his hand as he looked out to the west...

Uzushiogakure-Gates

''And here we are!'' Kushina shouted with her arms spread out to reveal her home in all its glory, and the blond had to admit the village was truly a marvel in architectural design from what he could see from the hill top. The buildings stood high in the sky with strange, and unique whirlpool insignia's among the walls. Some of the roof on the buildings truly did look like spiraling cones in the shape of a whirlpool. The gates from what he could see stood at least 50 high while the arch had a blue tile roof. The gates themselves looked to be made of the thickest and durable of wood. On both sides of the gates the Uzumaki insignia could be seen while in the center of the gate was a strange Yin/Yang symbol that connected both gates.

''So what do you think?'' Kushina said causing Naruto to look at her before nodding.

''From what I see so far...it is quite an interesting village.'' he said as he and the redhead walked towards the gate.

''Halt!'' the two perked up when they saw a squad of shinobi appeared in a swirling mass of water. Once they were revealed it was a squad of 5 shinobi all armed to the teeth. Their uniform consisted of black shinobi sandals, black shinobi pants with a mesh shirt on their torso which was covered by a long sleeved T-shirt while over this they wore a type of black and red chainmail leather chest guard. Over their forearms were leather armguards with steel plating. Finally wrapped around their foreheads was the red headband with a steel plate having the Uzumaki insignia etched into the metal.

However the one thing Naruto noticed was that all 5 of them had red hair maybe not the same shade as Kushina's, but every one of them had red hair.

'It's probably a trademark for all Uzumaki's to have red hair of some kind.' Naruto thought before he saw the leader of the group tense o ce he saw Kushina standing at Naruto's side.

''K-Kushina-sama? What are you doing here?! We thought your father sent you off to Konoha by now?! And who is that man with you?!'' the man said, and while Naruto kept up a stoic face he was impressed when he saw Kushina put up an impassive expression as her eyes narrowed.

''All will be explained soon, but you must take us to see my father.'' she said causing the squad to tense, but once the leader seemed to get a hold of himself he gave a nod.

''Very well, we shall have you both escorted to Uzukage-sama'' he said, but the look Naruto got from the man clearly spoke of the distrust he held for him. Naruto merely shrugged it off before he followed Kushina as the two were led towards the gate. He watched the two gate keepers did a few handsigns before put their hands on both sides of the gates.

He watched as the spot where their hands glowed bright white before white light spread out to the gate in a intricate web before it encircled the entire gate as two white lines connected with the two Uzumaki insignia's causing each one to flash white and black respectively. From there one line came out to be pure white while the other was pitch black. The two lines followed through the gate until each connected with both sides of the Yin/Yang symbol causing it to glow black and white.

Then a unlocking sound erupted before the gates started to open with a big rumble to reveal Uzushiogakure in all its glory. And what Naruto saw caused his earlier comment to only strengthen once he saw the magnificent marvel he saw. The village was built in the center of the island with its giant walls surrounding the entire perimeter of the village. However a river could be seen in the middle of the village with a number of bridges going over it. Naruto looked to see two gates built in both walls on opposite ends of the river that let the water flow in from the ocean, and through the other end without harm the village itself.

Looking out as he and Kushina walked over the bridge he saw the many villagers happily enjoying their day as children ran among the streets. He saw all of the populace bearing red hair signifying that the entire village was indeed the Uzumaki Clan was an entire village. He looked further to see among the tall buildings to see at the very far end another building that stood about 60 foot high while the roof had four stone arch going in to hold a giant stone circular tablet of the Uzumaki insignia out to all for the village to see.

All in all it was very interesting to see how far things have changed since his time...

''Oh my kami! Look is that Kushina-sama!?'' a villager shouted causing other villagers to look, and see her and Naruto walking with a squad of Uzu shinobi at their front and back.

''Hurray! She's back!'' another one celebrated which was followed by a few others.

''But who is that man with her? Is he a Daimyo?'' another said as he eyed Naruto suspiciously whilst a woman beside him looked upon Naruto with a dreamy expression.

''He certainly looks like one I mean he's so handsome.'' she said which was met with plenty of agreements among other women.

Through this Naruto felt someone slide their hand in his causing him to look and see Kushina gripping his hand in hers as she walked alongside him. He raised an eyebrow as she inches closer to his side, and he looked to see the many villagers looking at this sudden move with surprise or shock. He even saw some guards to hold a bit of surprise at Kushina's move. Still he gripped her hand in his own as the two strolled towards the Uzukage Tower.

Honestly Naruto didn't know what was wrong with Kushina, but after traveling with the excitable redhead had made him gain a soft spot for her. He had no idea how long he'd been asleep, but having Kushina as his company was possibly one of the better things that's happened since he woke up. He could feel her unease from touching her hand, and it made him frown so he gripped her hand causing her to do the same.

Uzukage Tower

''Now once we open the door you will go see to Uzukage-sama, but remember to pay your respects, outsider.'' the leader of he squad said only for naruto give him a stoic stare. Seeing as he got no other response then that the man gave a grunt before he knocked on the door.

''Come in''

Opening the door the man stepped aside letting Kushina walk in with Naruto behind her as the door closed behind him. Once it did Naruto was showed the sight of this Uzukage he'd heard about. He looked to see that it was a man adorning white and light blue robes with the ends of his sleeves and bottom of said robes having waves and whirlpool designs liking the bottom. On his head was a Kage hat with the Uzumaki symbol on the front end.

The man grasped the rim of his hat, and pulled it off to reveal his long straight red hair with a pale complexion. Sharp brown eyes went to Naruto to Kushina while his mouth formed into a smile, he had a long red beard that fell a few inches down.

''Musume, what are you doing here?'' the man said as he stood from his desk, but Kushina went and hugged the man.

''Tou-san!'' she cried causing the man to look down at his crying daughter before he looked up to see the noble blond looking man standing a few feet away. He eyed him before he looked back down at his daughter.

''Tell me Musume, what happened? I thought I sent you to Konoha? And who is this man with you?'' he asked, and Kushina wiped away her tears before she started to explain everything.

''I was on the envoy to Konoha, but we were attacked by Kumo shinobi. I panicked when Konoha-nin abandoned me, and I did all I could to flee.'' she said, but the man's eyes widened at her words and grasped her shoulders.

''Wait, they abandoned you?'' the man's face grew grim when he saw her nod, and he further listened to her story. Through it all his face went from grim to stone cold at how she had almost been raped by Kumo-nin until the most unexpected help came from the blond man in his office. To her traveling with the man to come see him. Soon enough Kushina had told him everything, and was now looking at the ground whilst the kage kept his face from being seen by the shadows of his hat.

Soon enough he put a hand on his daughters head as he spoke.

''Musume, go and see to your mother and sister I'm sure they would be happy to see you again. We can speak again later, but first let me talk with your friend privately.'' here Kushina worriedly looked toward Naruto only to see the blond haired man just give a nod before she nodded back before she started to walk away. However to the Oda's surprise she gave him a hug from his back.

''Thank you so much Naruto-kun.'' she said speaking into the fabric of his clothing before she quickly left.

This left Naruto with the Uzukage, and looking back at the kage he saw the man staring straight at him through the rim of his hat. That's when he saw the man stand up from his desk, walked around it before he was standing a few feet from the noble Oda.

''Musume may have not told me your name out of respect for you, but...let me be the first to say...'' here he pulled off his hat and kneeled on the ground before he planted his head on the ground.

''Thank you for saving my daughter...''

Naruto just stared down at the man before he finally spoke for the first time upon entering the office.

''Get up, it is not right for a man of your status to bow to me. Your daughter was just in the right place at the wrong time, and because of this she has awaken me. So if anything I owe her my gratitude, now stand up Uzukage-san.'' the kage hearing the sincerity in the Oda's word did indeed stand up before he put his hat back on his desk. He stared at Naruto with all the seriousness he could muster.

''That may be true, but you're possibly the only thing that has saved her from a life of agony and despair. For that you have my eternal gratitude, and that of the entire Uzumaki Clan. Still I find that she has grown very attached to you through your journey here.'' he said with a smile as Naruto raised an eyebrow.

''Is that a bad thing?'' he asked only to get a chuckle from the kage.

''Oh no on the contrary it's a very good thing because I can see that Kushina was truly happy when she came in with you. Happier then I've ever seen her in fact, and that makes me happy. I thought sending her to Konoha to become the next Jinchuriki would be good for her, but it seems I can no longer trust our century old allies. So I have to count it as a blessing she was returned to us and unharmed at that.'' he said as he walked towards to the window so he could overlook his village.

Remaining silent, Naruto saw the man look back at Naruto with a questioning gaze.

''But I have to wonder; what is your name? What did you mean when you said you 'awakened', and for that matter why come here?'' he asked as he poured himself a cup of tea while causing Naruto give a small sigh before he spoke.

''My name is Oda Naruto...''

Crash!

The tea glass fell from the mans limp fingers causing it to hit the floor, and shatter. However the kage cared not for this as he stared at Naruto with wide, disbelieving eyes. His hand soon started to tremble as his eyes took in naruto's form once again looking over every single detail until his eyes found the unique symbol adorning upon his armor.

''Oh my Kami...I never believed it...I always thought the Oda were myths...'' the kage uttered whilst Naruto frowned at the vague response he got from the man.

''Pardon?'' the kage continued to look at Naruto as if he was some form of ghost until he closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead.

''I apologize its just...the Oda's have been seen as nothing more then a myth, and yet here standing before me is one. I thought the tablet given to us was just a hoax, but it would seem I was wrong.'' he said further causing Naruto to frown.

''What do you mean by tablet? What do you know about my clan, Uzukage-san?'' he said as he took a step forward, but just as the man was about to speak.

BOOM!

The Uzukage abruptly stood up as a loud crash erupted from the village running towards the window he saw on the outskirts of his village to see the forests being destroyed.

''What is this?''

''Uzukage-sama!'' said man turned around as the door to his office slammed open to reveal a panting Uzu shinobi.

''Zucho? What's wrong?! What's happened?!'' he said while the man gasp for breath before he got enough to speak a few words.

''We're being invaded by Kumo, Iwa and Kiri sir! Their combined forces have breached our whirlpool defenses, and the Kiri forces are already about to sabotage our water underwater system!'' he said causing the Uzukage to scowl at the news. Quickly he put Zucho against the wall before he stood up.

''To think three villages would combine forces just to take us out, but how in the world did they bypass our defenses? To get through them is top secret to only an Uzumaki! So how?!'' he questioned himself whilst Naruto looked out at front of the village. Narrowing his eyes he saw the smoke getting closer.

''Uzukage-san worry about that later, let's make a deal I stave off this invasion for you, and in return you tell me everything you know about my Clan.'' Naruto said as he walked towards the door. The Uzukage looked at the mans back in shock, and a bit of disbelief at what he just heard.

''Not that I would decline, but how in the world do you plan on stopping he combined forces of 3 Shinobi Villages?'' his answer was given as Naruto glanced over his shoulder to gaze at the kage with a cold soulless look in his eyes.

''Because the world has not known the power of an Oda until today, and they will soon learn what not only an Oda is capable of, but of what the Heir of the Oda Clan is capable of doing. You deal with the Kiri forces in your water ways, and I'll deal with the main force. Keep your men inside, and whatever you do stay inside your village.'' here he put the palm of his hand on his katana as he started walk out the door.

''Your village, your Clan will not fall today...'' and with that Naruto departed leaving the Uzukage to stare at spot Naruto once was. Then he grew a serious expression as slammed his hand on his desk causing a seal to glow from his desk then he issued his orders.

''CODE BLACK! All available forces are to report to the Underwater Way Entrance, Genin are to evacuate the villagers to the shelters. This is the Order of your Uzukage now Go!'' removing his hand he snapped his fingers causing his personal guard to appear.

''Go and see to it that my family is kept safe, and once their hidden report to the Underwater Entrance. We shall leave the main force to Oda-dono.'' he said causing the shinobi look at one another.

''A-are you sure that's wise, Uzukage-sama? To trust that outsider?'' the uzukage just looked out the window and frowned.

''If anything I put my entire trust in that man not only has he saved my daughter, and the heiress of the Uzumaki Clan, but if what he said is true. Then we all shall experience the power of an Oda first hand...after all who better to enter a battlefield then a man who is directly linked to the God of Death itself?'' he said stunning his shinobi.

He just hoped Naruto could stave off the invasion as promised...

Uzushiogakure-Edge of the Island

Naruto stared out at the see as a ravaging storm came down upon Uzu no Kuni. His eyes narrowed as he remembered the force he intercepted once he left the gates. It had been the first strike force which he'd decimated before wiping out the other shinobi hiding out in the forests. And now he stood on the sandy shore looking out at the ocean only instead of the sapphire blue waters from before he saw the entire ocean was a nightmarish black as the shadows of hundreds of ships sailed his way.

Smoldering azure orbs lit up as Naruto flicked out his katana causing the ground beneath to instantly to light up in a pillar of fire. The sand beneath him started to melt into molten lava as Naruto unsheathed his katana with the blade gleaming as a dark red aura glowed from the blade itself.

He eyed the blade with a look of content, ''It's been too long old friend now let's deal with these children, but first.'' here he stabbed the blade into the ground while he placed his palm on the pommel causing the blade to be engulfed in flames.

''Bōka shōheki'' then instantly the flames engulfing his hand and the blade dug into the ground before it separated in two lines that soon started to encircle the entire land of Uzu no Kuni. Once it had done so Naruto walked over the red line before he wrenched the blade from the ground. This caused a spark which made the red line literally erupt into a giant wall of red flames which soon followed the red line entirely until Uzu no Kuni was completely protected by a giant barrier of flames.

On the mainland everyone could see the phenomenon as the entire land was surrounded in crimson fire, and ships unluckily enough to hit the shore was incinerated within seconds. Steping out from the flames Naruto strolled out onto the water katana in hand with his spiky blond hair waving in the heat waves produced by his flames. His piercing azure eyes stared upon the hundreds of ships of Kumo, Iwa and Kiri shinobi before he clenched his katana causing it to be engulfed in dark red flames.

''Now let's see what the sons and daughters of the Rikudo are capable of...'' and then

He Charged...

End

Well this ends with the prologue guys so can you tell me what you thought? Any tips constructive criticism would be helpful.

Naruto's clothing are the same as Sesshomaru's from Inuyahsa only with some alteration.

I'm tired now, and gonna head to bed...
