1 Chapter 1

Within an endless void stood a woman. The woman possessed a regal beauty, having long flowing white hair going past her feet, pale skin, her eyebrows cut low and round, a symbol of nobility, red lipstick, clear white eyes, a slit on the center of her forehead, wearing a high-collared hime-kimono which has tomoe running down the center and edges of the gown adorned with intricate gold and purple lines. The most noticeable feature we're the two horns sprouting from her head.

This woman is Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Progenitor of Chakra, Rabbit Goddess, and mother of the Sage of Six Paths.

Currently Kaguya was watching as one of the fragments of her power, the Kyuubi no Kitsune, Katsumi she believed her name was, attacked the village Konohagakure, a village founded by the previous incarnations of her grandsons Indra and Asura. Despite being sealed within the moon by her traitorous sons, Hagoromo and Hamura, she was still able to view the events happening in the Elemental Countries.

It made Kaguya want to laugh in Hagoromo's face, the people he had so much faith in turning his precious Ninshu into weapons of war, and sealing the Tailed Beasts away. But it also angered her that these lowly humans still have access to HER chakra, it should never have been given to them.

'Are you watching my foolish son, watching how these people use the power you gave them to lie, cheat, steal, and kill each other. Imprisoning your own creations.' Kaguya thought

Just then Kaguya saw a blonde man and red-haired woman appear on the battle field with three infant boys. From what Kaguya's seen, the man was Minato Namikaze the Yondaime Hokage, and the woman was Kushina Uzumaki the Red Death, while the three babies were their new born sons Arashi, Menma, and Naruto.

'So, that's Asura's newest incarnation.' Kaguya thought focusing on baby Naruto

Kaguya watched as Minato summoned the Shinigami to seal Katsumi's Yin and Yang chakra within Arashi and Menma respectively, while sealing the soul inside Naruto, before surprisingly the Shinigami let the man live rather than take his soul.

Now interested Kaguya watched as the family returned to Konoha where Minato announced his sons Arashi and Menma as heroes for containing the Kyuubi's chakra, everyone cheering for the newly titled "Twin Princes of Konoha", it made Kaguya shake her head, and her sons wondered why she kept most of the humans imprisoned in the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

As the villagers celebrated their new heroes, the Namikaze family returned to the Hokage's office, meeting with Tsunade Senju, a member of the Senju clan, Asura's descendants, and Jiraiya of the Sannin, the latter of whom made Kaguya growl glaring at the man.

After being trapped within the moon Kaguya eventually learned it was the Grand Toad Sage who told her sons of the humans she kept imprisoned in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, since then she's had a burning hatred for all toads and anyone who summons them, swearing once she was free that she'd hunt down and slaughter those worthless creatures and their summoners.

Kaguya watched and listened as Jiraiya told the new parents of a prophecy he received from the toads, of a child who bring peace to the Elemental Countries, making Kaguya groan in resignation when they all instantly decided Menma or Arashi was the prophecy child.

'Yes, because interpreting a prophecy is always smart.' Kaguya thought sarcastically before frowning changing the view where she saw Naruto in a room alone

They basically forgot their third son, instead focusing on the other two. While Kaguya would admit she wasn't the best mother, hardly even seeing her sons, she at least never favored one over the other treating them the same.

So, to see two parents, people who preached about the bonds of family and friends, to ignore one of their own children just because of some prophecy told by a senile old toad with one foot in the grave, was truly sickening.

'And people called me the demon.' Kaguya thought

Though maybe this could be used to her advantage. Changing the image again this time to a clan compound, specifically the Uchiha clan, Indra's descendants. Going to a specific room Kaguya saw a sleeping baby girl, Satsuki Uchiha the newborn daughter of the clan head, and Indra's newest incarnation.

'Yes, this could work out wonderfully.' Thought Kaguya smirking activating her Byakugan

A little known fact about the Byakugan, well hers at least, was it truly lived up to its name of the All-Seeing Eye. After her imprisonment Kaguya discovered another power of her eyes, they could show her glimpses of the past, present, future, and possible futures.

It's how she knew what would happen after being sealed away, Hagoromo's Ninshu, sharing chakra, his son's turning against each other, all of it. Kaguya also saw Zetsu's plan to revive her, a plan so convoluted she wondered if he even considered all the things that could go wrong with it.

But now she'll make her own plans, ones that will have revived in a matter of a few years rather than the centuries Zetsu's plan is taking.

'Yes, soon I shall return, and all will fear me… and rejoice.' Kaguya thought

*Timeskip-Nine Years-Konoha*

"Well done Menma, Arashi you're coming along nicely, you'll be as strong as your old man in no time." Minato congratulated his sons who stood on a branch

"Hey, don't forget me Minato, they'll be badass just like their Kaa-chan!" Shouted Kushina crossing her arms, Minato chuckling sheepishly

"Please we won't be strong as you two we're going the strongest in the world right Nii-san!" Said Menma smirking looking to his brother

"Oh yeah, no one will be strongest than us!" Arashi agreed, as both parents smiled at their children

Unknown to the family they were being watched by someone, another boy looking at the family with cold detached eyes from his perch in a tree. The boy was Naruto Uzumaki, Minato and Kushina's third son and Arashi and Menma's younger brother, or as the latter two refer to him their personal punching bag.

Naruto sneered at his brother's egos were inflated further, they managed to master tree walking big deal Naruto had already mastered it when he was six, did anyone praise him for it?

No because in the minds of his family and the rest of the village he was a talentless weakling, who would never compare to his brothers, with Menma and Arashi feeling the need to remind him of the fact every day.

What no one but two other people knew, was that Naruto was stronger than he let on, while Menma and Arashi were trained by their parents, Naruto trained on his own and occasionally with his best friend, preferring it that way as then he could keep his skills secret. It also wouldn't do for the villagers to hate him.

See while Naruto's brothers were seen as heroes for containing the Kyuubi's chakra, Naruto was seen as the Kyuubi itself for containing the soul. For the first five years of his life Naruto had to live in fear of the villagers, constantly looking over his shoulder, not that it helped as they always seemed to find him, and that's when the beatings began

Naruto lost count of how many times he was beaten to near death, then having to drag his broken body back home. He tried telling his parents what was happening, but they didn't believe him even when they saw him covered in his own blood, to his parents he was just a trouble maker that pranks people and gets in trouble, when really, it's Menma and Arashi that are the trouble makers who blame Naruto.

He remembered when they were four, Naruto had drawn a picture of the entire family and planned to show his parents in hope of them praising him for something. though he had gone to get some water and when he came back he saw Arashi showing their parents the drawing saying he made it for them, when Naruto said he was a liar and that the picture was his, his parents yelled at him for trying to take credit for his brothers "hard work" and sent him to his room, that was the day Naruto began to resent his family.

Another incident when they five, Menma had been running in the house bumping into a standing holding their mother's favorite vase, knocking it down breaking it. When Kushina saw it Menma blamed Naruto, even though he wasn't even home at the time to busy running from a mob.

When he got home Kushina yelled at him for what Menma did, sending him to his room telling him not come out until the next day, when Naruto tried arguing that he didn't do it, his mother mad actually hit him.

*Flashback*

Naruto stared at his mother in shock holding his face when her hand had connected, still processing that she had just hit him.

"Don't talk back to your Kaa-san, now go to your room and don't think to come down!" Shouted Kushina glaring at Naruto

'She hit me, she actually hit me.' Naruto thought his parent had yelled at him before but never actually hit him

Naruto's eyes soon went icy cold, and his face going blank.

"Yes Kaa-sama." Naruto said coldly, startling Kushina a little

Walking up the stairs Naruto caught sight of Menma smirking smugly at him, making him narrow his eyes.

'Enjoy while you can dear brother, but one day I will have you at my feet begging for mercy. Mercy that I won't give.' Naruto thought darkly

*End Flashback*

Since then Naruto has only ever talked to his parents when he needed to, only saying the bare minimum, and referring to them as "Kaa-sama" and "Tou-sama", even though he's long stopped considering them his parents.

It was also after that Naruto began training on his own, refusing to even try asking for his parents to train him as well. He had become colder to everyone, except two people, no longer caring about the villager's opinion of him or earning his family's affection. It was another thing that set him apart from his brother's, while Arashi and Menma were loud and brash, preferring to be the center of attention, wearing bright clothes, Naruto was cold, aloof, and stayed in the shadows, wearing dark clothing.

The three boys were also different in not just attitude but appearance, while Menma was a carbon copy of Minato with spiky blonde hair and blue eyes, Arashi had red hair like Kushina and lighter blue eyes, Naruto on the other hand had spiky black hair and dark blue eyes that bordered on black, his hair used to be blonde, but he dyes it black wanting to distance himself from his family.

The only thing the three had in common were their whisker marks.

Suddenly Naruto heard footsteps approaching, looking Naruto smiled warmly at the person, a six-year-old girl, with long crimson red hair tied in pigtails and bright purple eyes, wearing a white sun dress.

The girl looked a little before looking spotting Naruto in the tree smiling brightly.

"Nii-san!" The girl shouted

Jumping down from his perch, Naruto landed in front of the girl who instantly wrapped her arms around him

"Hey there Rumi-chan." Naruto said rubbing the girls head

This was Narumi Namikaze, Naruto's little sister along with one of the two people he cares about.

When Naruto had first learned he was going to have another sibling, he was angry thinking he was once again going to be passed off. But when he first laid eyes on Narumi, this small tiny little thing, any anger he would have had for her faded away, and he swore that no matter what he would always be there for his precious Imouto.

"Can we go play Nii-san?" Asked Narumi tilting her head cutely, though Naruto smiled sadly

"Sorry Rumi-chan, I have to go meet Satsuki soon." Naruto said, Narumi looking down sadly

Narumi then yelped feeling Naruto poke her forehead, smiling at her.

"Maybe next time Narumi-chan." Said Naruto, Narumi nodding before hugging Naruto again

"Happy birthday Nii-san." Narumi said before running off

'Oh right, it's my birthday.' Naruto thought

It was his, Arashi, and Menma's tenth birthday, meaning he had to get gone soon as this night was always guarantee that he'll be attacked by a mob, that and he just didn't want to be around sheep kissing his brother's asses.

*Later*

Naruto sat in a clearing behind the Hokage Monument looking up at the full moon. Soon he heard the bushes rustling looking Naruto saw a girl his age coming out brushing and stray leaves off.

The girl had long waist length black hair with a blue tint, onyx colored eyes, pale skin, wearing white shorts, a navy blue high-collared shirt with the Uchiha symbol on the back, and blue kunoichi sandals.

"Satsuki-chan." Naruto greeted giving a two finger salute

"Oh, you're here already, sorry if I kept you waiting." Said Satsuki, Naruto waving it off

"It's fine, I haven't been waiting that long." Naruto replied a small smile as he looked at the girl

Satsuki Uchiha, Naruto's first and best friend.

They had met each other three years ago, when she had caught him training alone. After that they always trained with each other whenever they could, Satsuki even inviting him over to her home a few times. Her mother Mikoto was a nice woman always asking him how he was and even supervising his and Satsuki's training, Naruto would even say she was more of a mother to him than Kushina ever was. Her father Fugaku was fine, while her brother Itachi was alright, if a tad creepy, along with Naruto not really trusting him considering he was in Anbu and reported to Minato.

Though two years later, tragedy struck, the entire Uchiha Clan, besides Satsuki, was massacred by Itachi. After that Satsuki shut out everyone, except Naruto who refused to leave her side the entire time, though she didn't show it Satsuki was grateful for Naruto staying by her side.

It also didn't help that everyone began treating her the same as Naruto's brothers, only she had it worst, being a girl, with several people trying to get control of her being the heiress of the Uchiha Clan, and even some people on the council wanting to turn her into breeding stock to repopulate the Uchiha Clan.

She'd sooner go rogue than let that happen.

Besides she's only interested in one guy, Satsuki idly thought glancing at Naruto.

Sitting beside Naruto, they both looked up at the moon nothing needing to be said.

"So, how are they?" Asked Satsuki after a while

"The same, I heard the pervert and hag were going to let them sign the Toad and Slug Contracts." Naruto responded, Satsuki nodding aware of Naruto's less than stellar relationship with his family

Just then they both noticed something… strange.

"Uh Naruto-kun is it just me or is the moon turning red." Satsuki said

"No, I see it to." Said Naruto suddenly feeling drowsy

"Oh, good I… though it… was… just… me." Satsuki trailed off before she and Naruto fell asleep

While the full moon took on a completely red appearance with black concentric rings and nine tomoes, three in each ring.

*Moon*

Opening his eyes Naruto groaned rubbing his head looking around frowning seeing he wasn't back where he was. It was in a large forest clearing, and it was day time.

His eyes then fell Satsuki waking up a short distance away.

"Wha, what just happened, where are we?" Satsuki said

"I don't know." Said Naruto just as confused

"I believe I can answer that." A female voice said, making Naruto and Satsuki whirl around to the source

They saw the person approaching them was Kaguya.

"Who are you and where are we?" Demanded Naruto moving in front of Satsuki

"Well that's rude making demands, but if you must know I am Kaguya Otsutsuki, as to where you are this is the moon. Or at least the inside of the moon, my prison." Kaguya said, getting skeptical looks from both children

"O-kay, then why are we here?" Satsuki questioned, Kaguya walking around

"That would be my doing, you see I've watched you both Naruto Uzumaki and Satsuki Uchiha, from the moments of your birth, you both have faced many hardships, Naruto being neglected by your family in favor of your brothers who treat you as less than dirt, and you Satsuki who has lost your entire family to your own brother and seen as nothing but a tool by people who seek to take advantage of you." Kaguya said, shocking both of them at how much she knew

"Well if you know all that, but you still haven't told us why we're here." Said Naruto

"To tell you that I'd have to start at the beginning, from when I first arrived on this planet…" Began Kaguya

Kaguya then proceeded to tell Naruto and Satsuki everything that happened from when she first landed on the planet, from devouring the Shinju Fruit, her sons, becoming the Shinju, everything she witnessed from her prison, Indra and Asura's endless conflict and transmigrants, all the way up to the Kyuubi attack. When she finished Naruto summed up both their thoughts.

"No offense, but your son is a dumbass." Naruto deadpanned

Who gives people power to basically do anything, and not expect them to use it to kill each other better. Hagoromo basically everyone weapons and told them not to kill each other with them.

Kaguya smiled at that, not taking any offense, knowing it's true her sons were both naïve in their thinking.

"None taken, I know my son was foolish to give humanity chakra, he thought it would help bring peace, when really he helped set the seeds of war. A path his sons, my grandsons, followed, that also brings me to why I wanted to speak with you both, you see you two Naruto and Satsuki are the newest transmigrants of Asura and Indra." Kaguya revealed, surprising them both

"You mean to tell us, we have your grandsons inside us." Satsuki said not at all pleased to learn some guys soul was inside her

"Yes." Responded Kaguya

"Then how come we don't act like them, from what you've told us all of Asura' transmigrants wanted to bring peace, while Indra's wanted rule, and they all hated each other?" Naruto questioned

"You can thank me for that, you see while I am trapped here, I can still influence certain things, such as channeling small portions of my chakra into you both throughout your lives suppressing both Indra and Asura. If I had not done this, you Naruto would have been a forgiving fool who forgave every bad thing done to you and obsessed with peace, while you Satsuki a revenge driven person only caring about completing your own goals and gaining more power." Said Kaguya, both grimacing at the mental images conjured

"Well thanks for that, but you still haven't told us the reason you wanted to meet us." Said Naruto

"I'm getting to that. You see I have watched as my world has been torn apart all because of my son's foolish decisions, and I'm tired of it, and seeing my chakra used by those unworthy. What want is for you both to join me, free me, and help reclaim all my chakra. In exchange you both shall be allowed to keep your chakra, I will also awaken both Indra and Asura's dormant powers within you along with removing any influence they could have over you both. Think about it you both would finally be the ones with the power, and make those who mocked you or seek to use you pay in the worst way possible, taking away their power." Kaguya said

Both thought about it, Naruto picturing his family defeated at his feet powerless without their chakra, crushing everyone in Konoha, while Satsuki imagined being even closer to finally killing Itachi and avenging her clan.

"Narumi gets to keep her chakra." Said Naruto refusing to hurt his sister in anyway

"Done." Kaguya agreed

"You'll evolve my Sharingan into the Mangekyo." Satsuki added not willing to risk killing Naruto to awaken the Mangekyo

"Of course." Said Kaguya

"And we will be equals in this, we won't be anyone's servants or underlings." Said Naruto

"Yes. So, do we have an agreement?" Kaguya said

Naruto and Satsuki looked at each other nodding.

"Good, now hold out your dominant arms." Said Kaguya

Doing so Naruto held up his right while Satsuki held up her left. Grabbing both their hands, Naruto and Satsuki felt power surging through them, while also feeling something being erased, Asura and Indra.

Then as quickly as it came it stopped.

"I have awakened your powers, you Satsuki now have access to your Mangekyo Sharingan and like Indra you will not have to worry of going blind from over use, and possess the Six Paths Yin Power, you Naruto will be able to access Six Paths Sage Mode, the Wood Style Kekkei Genkai, and the Six Paths Yang Power." Kaguya explained, Naruto and Satsuki awed at the new power they now have

"What now?" Asked Naruto eager to test his new powers

"Now we talk with your tenant Naruto." Kaguya said as the surroundings changed to a sewer with a giant cage

Behind the cage were two giant blood red eyes looking down at the three people, Naruto and Satsuki both knew this was the Kyuubi's soul, Naruto having always known and having told Satsuki.

"Hello Katsumi." Kaguya said

Katsumi stepped out of the shadows showing her full glory, though being noticeably smaller due to losing all her chakra, before shrinking down transforming into a teenage girl. The girl had long crimson red hair that went to her hips, matching red eyes, a curvaceous figure that was enhanced by the tight fitting black robes with a cape that extends to the floor she was wearing, matching thigh high length boots, and fingerless black gloves that extend to just below her elbows.

"Kaguya." Katsumi growled

"Now, now is that any way to talk to your Kaa-san." Kaguya said mockingly, much to Naruto and Satsuki's surprise

"Don't flatter yourself you psychotic bitch." Scoffed Katsumi turning away

"Oh, pity and here I was going to offer to restore your chakra, but if you don't want to listen then I'll just reabsorb you." Kaguya stepping forward, Katsumi now shaking her head fearfully

"Wait, wait, wait! Let's not do anything rash, I'll hear you out, alright." Said Katsumi not wanting to be absorbed back into Kaguya

She never wanted to become part of the Juubi again, she enjoyed being alive, aside from being sealed away three times and controlled twice.

"Good girl. Now my offer is that I'll restore you to full power, free you from the seal, and make it so you can never be sealed again, in exchange you will stay with Naruto and Satsuki to help them in my resurrection." Kaguya said, Katsumi narrowing her eyes

"And what about my siblings?" Questioned Katsumi while they may not always get along they're still family

"They will be sealed within the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, to become part of me once again." Kaguya said as if it was obvious

"No way! Unless you agree to leave them alone, I'm not helping!" Katsumi said, Kaguya feeling her eye twitch

"Fine, a compromise I'll take the majority of your sibling's chakra, leaving behind small portions so they may replenish it over time, letting them live." Said Kaguya since all she really needed was the Tailed Beasts chakra not their souls

Katsumi nodded reluctantly, it was better than all of them simply becoming the Juubi again.

"And what about me, am I just supposed to hand over my chakra after I get it back?" Katsumi said, Kaguya raising a delicate brow

"I never said I'd get you your chakra back, I said I'd restore it. The chakra sealed in those two fools will be absorbed into the statue." Said Kaguya, Katsumi nodding slowly thinking it's better than just losing her chakra again

Though still, the old man did everything he could to seal Kaguya away, could she really turn her back on the man who created her, her own father.

Kaguya noticed Katsumi's hesitant, and knew it was due to her loyalty to her son, but Kaguya knew how to break that loyalty.

"If you're worried about betraying my son, tell me would it not be fair after all the times he betrayed you and the other Tailed Beasts." Said Kaguya, Katsumi growling at her wishing she wasn't locked behind the cage

"The old man never betrayed us, he's the one who freed us from you and the Juubi!" Katsumi growled

"Really are you sure his intentions were pure. That you didn't trade one cage for another." Countered Kaguya

"Think about it Katsumi, Hagoromo kept the Juubi sealed inside him until the end of his life, after he had already given everyone chakra, after both Asura and Indra were grown men strong enough with the two abilities to control the Tailed Beasts, the Sharingan and Wood Style. Now look at you all trapped and treated as nothing but objects and weapons, all by the same people Hagoromo saw fit to give chakra to. Then there's Indra and Asura, I believe you knew their previous incarnations Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. Madara treated you as his pet while controlling you with his eyes, while Hashirama captured you and your siblings selling you off to the other villagers and then having his wife seal you away, then Indra's other descendant who controlled you a second. Now tell me if that is not betrayal then what is." Kaguya said, as Katsumi fell to her knees clutching her head

"Stop, please just stop." Katsumi said pleadingly

As much as she wanted to deny it, everything Kaguya said made sense. Hagoromo could have found a way to prevent them from being sealed away, but instead he taught humans how to use chakra before releasing them, then his sons having the power to control them, and their transmigrants controlling them and turning them into weapons.

Kaguya entered the cage kneeling down putting her hands on Katsumi's shoulders.

"Join us Katsumi, and none of the Tailed Beasts will ever have to fear being sealed away again or controlled, they will be free, no one will have chakra to use against you ever again." Said Kaguya, Katsumi nodded looking

"Yes, I'll help free you Kaguya, though one more thing, the masked man who controlled me I get to kill him." Said Katsumi

"Get in line sweetheart, if anyone's ripping that bastard apart it's going to be me." Said Naruto reminding them of his and Satsuki's presence

"Both of you when the times come will be able to take revenge on the masked fool. But for now, I will restore you to your full power Katsumi." Kaguya said channeling her chakra into Katsumi

Instantly Katsumi felt her power returning, making her grin viciously at being back to full power. While the seal keeping her locked away melted away.

"It's done your now free and all your chakra has been restored." Said Kaguya standing up

"So, what do we do now?" Asked Satsuki crossing her arms

"Now, you return to your bodies and train in your new powers, collect the Tailed Beast chakra, seal it within the Demonic Statue, then we will achieve our plan to stripping humans of chakra." Kaguya said, as Naruto and Satsuki began fading showing they were returning to consciousness

"Also, don't tell anyone about this meeting or your new powers, no one." Said Kaguya seriously knowing the wrong people would eventually find out

Nodding both Naruto and Satsuki faded away.

*Real World*

Opening his eyes Naruto sat up finding him and Satsuki back in the clearing.

"Was it just a dream?" Naruto wondered

"I wouldn't too sure about that." Said Satsuki looking at her hand

"Why is that?" Questioned Naruto

In response Satsuki showed him her left palm, where a black crescent moon was located, along with channeling chakra into her eyes activating her Sharingan, that had three tomoes, before it evolved into three intersecting ellipses.

Shocked Naruto looked at his right hand seeing a white sun symbol.

'I wonder.' Naruto thought remembering Kaguya said she awakened the Wood Style in him

Placing his hand on the ground Naruto channeled chakra through it causing several flowers to grow.

"Okay now that's cool." Said Naruto with a smirk

He wished he could ruby it in his families faces that he had the bloodline of the Shodaime Hokage, before using it to lock Menma and Arashi in a cage. But knew he couldn't unless wanted to answer questions he'd rather not.

"Don't get a swelled head boy." A female voice, getting both their attention

Looking they saw a fox kit sitting nearby, a fox with red eyes.

"Katsumi?" Naruto said, Katsumi rolling her eyes

"Who else would it be, yes it's me boy." Said Katsumi jumping on Naruto's shoulder

"Don't get any ideas boy, I just prefer you to the Uchiha." Katsumi said growling at Satsuki

She didn't care if she was friends with the boy, she's been controlled by two Uchiha before and she'll be damned if a third time happens.

"So, I guess now we train in our new powers." Said Satsuki

"Yeah, I just wish I could show Menma and Arashi, just to see the fear in their eyes when they see I have the power now." Naruto said a sadistic gleam in his eyes

"Well try to control yourself, you'll get your chance eventually, for now just be patient." Satsuki said, Naruto nodding reluctantly

"Fine, though we should probably get going. Though tomorrow we'll start training." Said Naruto, Satsuki nodding in agreement

No one in the Elemental Countries could be aware of the consequences of what happened that night. For that one meeting marked the beginning of the end.

The end of the Shinobi Era.
