Born Again to be Naruto
The Grandfather
"La-laaah!!! HOW ISOOO!!!" scream Naruto's soul.
"Of course you can," replied the short soul fragment of the god of death.
"Undeniably, there are many powerful humans in this world who are able to compete with the Tsutsuki clan. However, even if it is done, the chances of winning will not be up to 50%. The one who can defeat a Tsutsuki clan should be at least on par with Hashirama or Madara, "the soul fragment of death said.
"Considerate. Even so, broadly speaking, the one who could reach the height of that power was only the reincarnation of Ashura and Indra, the son of Hagoromo and the one who had a relationship of blood with him. In addition, people who have Karma seals and god reincarnations are also qualified. Right grandpa?" ask Naruto's soul
"Right," replied Naruto's grandfather's soul in a pleased tone.
"Son, you know that, don't you? In the past I fought against members of the Tsutsuki Clan" said Naruto's grandfather's soul
Naruto's soul nodded, "Yes. I've realized. Grandpa, have you ever cut off a Tsutsuki's left hand?"
"I've done it. He has the ability to turn his body into iron or other materials, right?" ask Grandpa Naruto's soul.
"He can indeed turn his body into iron but really, he can change his body with other materials?" ask Naruto's soul
"I didn't lie to you, son. When I fought with him, it was a hard day" said Naruto's grandfather's soul.
"However, before I tell you any further, let's move places first" said Naruto's grandfather's soul.
Naruto's grandfather unleashed a black energy that enveloped him as well as Naruto's soul. That black energy then took them to another dimension, leaving Naruto's body alone in the open. When the energy disappeared, Naruto's soul was able to see the sight of a vast lake at night. It reflects the moonlight and thousands of bright stars.
"Where this is, I feel that I have moved dimensions" Naruto said.
"I used my power to send us into the afterlife. Here I can manipulate time and time here goes faster than in Konoha. One day here is equivalent to 1 second in Konoha" said Naruto's grandfather.
"First of all, let's sit down first and then I'll tell you a story" said Naruto's grandfather then turned around.
Naruto turned around and they walked towards the piece of tree trunk that formed a circle, in the middle of which there was a bonfire. Naruto and his grandfather sat next to each other.
"In the beginning, I was reincarnated into this world to fill a protective void in this world" said Naruto's grandfather
"Protective vacuum?" ask Naruto
"Yes. Every villain that appears will give birth to a hero, that's what should happen. Ishiki and Kaguya, Kaguya and her two children, Ashura and Indra, Hashirama and Madara. Like them, there will be people born as your opposite" said Naruto's grandfather.
"In the era of Senju leader Hashirama, there were two tsutsuki souls who came to this planet. Both souls travel through time and space so they can get here. They appear in a village with a few people who are worthy of holding the seal of Karma. They went straight into the body of one of the two people in the village and planted their karmic seal" said Naruto's grandfather
"Karma seal, in short it is the 'backup data' of a tsutsuki. The Karma seal serves as the storage medium of the soul, its abilities, memories, experiences, physical traits, essentially all things related to the related tsutsuki. It was also a medium for tsutsuki to reincarnate after death" said Naruto's grandfather
"When they succeed in implanting the karmic seal. The god of time gave me a warning, that tsutsuki will act after Hashirama's death and before your birth. If nothing fills this protective void, it is certain that the planet will be destroyed and nothing can stop the tsutsuki clan from growing stronger" said Naruto.
"I reincarnated into this world, choosing to be reborn as a member of the Namikaze family because of their intelligence. In this world my name is Namikaze Kuruto and I am a little older than Hiruzen. While still alive, I was one of the direct subordinates of Senju Tobirama and I had strong ties with the Uzumaki, Senju, and Uchiha clans" Kuruto said.
"At the end of the first ninja world war, before Tobirama died, he appointed Hiruzen as the Hokage and installed me as the Shadow Hokage. A few years after the war, I married a high status woman from the Uzumaki clan. That way, I have access to various top-tier jutsu and fuinjutsu" Kuruto said.
"Wait, wait. My grandmother is from the Uzumaki clan? My mother is also from the Uzumaki clan. Doesn't it matter? I mean, they don't have close blood relationships, do they?" asked Naruto sweating
"Haha, just calm down, son. Your grandmother and your mother had no close blood relation so lose your mind about Minato marrying his own cousin" Kuruto said.
Naruto laughed awkwardly, "Ahaha, thank goodness then..."
"Ehem," Naruto coughed, "Kuruto oji-san please continue the story."
"As a shadow hokage, I wander more than I settle in the village. Of course it was to search for the existence of those who had the Karma seal and prevent the tsutsuki from reincarnating. However, it was also what made Minato hate me a bit even though he finally understood the importance of me leaving the village" Kuruto said.
"When Minato was 4 years old, I found traces of tsutsuki. The trail is in the form of a UV ninja. At that time they were looting the village and kidnapping everyone there. I rescued the villagers and captured a UV ninja that I had successfully thwarted from committing suicide" Kuruto said.
"Hm... was it grandpa who first invented the UV ninja?" ask Naruto.
"Right, I call them UV ninjas because when they are exposed to sunlight their physical strength will increase. They move in groups consisting of 4 members and 1 chairman. Ordinary members were on par with normal Jonin, if they were exposed to sunlight, they were on par with elite jonin. The team leader is equivalent to an elite jonin, if exposed to sunlight, it will be equivalent to an S-level fugitive ninja" Kuruto said
"However, you shouldn't be able to meet a UV ninja with this characteristic because I killed them and their maker" Kuruto said.
"I mean grandpa?" naruto did not understand.
"At that time outside the village, I finally managed to find the headquarters of the two tsutsuki who came in the Hashirama era. I walked down the base and passed one of the tsutsuki. The fight is inevitable. Tsutsuki is a rune user and can summon various animals with powers that do not play" Kuruto said.
"Nobody of the UV ninjas came close at the time. Even their chief would not come near. Damage was everywhere, making the UV ninja run away. The fight also invites the other Tsutsuki to join the fight. Finally I moved them to another dimension using the laws of space" Kuruto said.
"Huh, the law of space? What skills do Chinese comics usually have? An ability capable of making you teleport, tear through space, enter another dimension, and send enemies into outer space? Can it be learned in this world?" ask Naruto.
"Of course it can but people here are almost impossible to do it because of their talent. Rinnegan, Hiraishin, edo tensei, and shiki fujin, among them are related to the law of space or the law of death. However, the jutsu was devoted to a specific purpose and was inflexible. Its use requires difficult conditions, in contrast to pure law which is flexible and only needs some conditions" Kuruto said.
"Do you want to learn this technique, son?" ask Kuruto.
"Can? Didn't Grandpa say it was almost impossible?" ask Naruto
"Indeed. However, in addition to high intelligence, the Namikaze family also has above-average talent so with proper practice you can learn it. Not to mention that your father and I are both users of the laws of death and the laws of space so your talent should be better than both of them" Kuruto said.
"You'll have to study hard later. Returning to the previous topic, Tsutsuki summoned 5 animals whose strength was each almost equivalent to a bijuu. I used fuinjutsu to restrict their movements and focus on attacking both Tsutsuki. Long story short I managed to get them badly injured but the fight is not over yet. Tsutsuki the animal caller chanted something while the other Tsutsuki attacked me all out" Kuruto said
"I managed to cut off his left hand with the law of death. However, I was late in stopping the animal summoning Tsutsuki in casting a spell. The five animals I capped were detached and moved dimension to earth, they scattered and attacked 5 ninja villages simultaneously. The Tsutsuki then fled, forcing me to chase after them and create clones to tackle the animals that attacked the five villages" Kuruto said.
"We went back to earth and they kept trying to stop me. The UV ninja also came to prevent me from pursuing them. I ended up taking care of the UV ninja first and let Tsutsuki run. However, it does not matter because I have marked them with death laws" Kuruto said.
"Honestly, I was tired and all my chakras ran out to my clones. Considering that it would take too long if I tried to kill the five animals, I chose to seal them in a hidden corner of the village with nature as the medium" Kuruto said.
"Sugning? Is it possible that the UV ninja attacked because they wanted to release the animal? If true, it means that other villages are also their targets" said Naruto.
"And grandfather, how did grandfather fall that day? Wasn't grandfather superior to the point of making them run away? Could it be.." said Naruto realized something.
"really. After I finish off all the UV ninjas, a black-robed man appears. That person is Jigen, the owner of karma as well as the reincarnation media Ishiki Tsutsuki. My body at that time was already tired and unable to last long in battle. I don't want to choose to escape first. However, Jigen chased me continuously. I realized, even if I ran wherever he would still pursue me. He forced me to make difficult choices" Kuruto said.
"When my clone finished sealing all the animals, I immediately teleported to where the animal summoning Tsutsuki and the material Tsutsuki were located. Without thinking any longer, I put on a shiki fujin jutsu" Kuruto said.
--
...
Jutsu Shiki fujin's. Jutsu who summoned the god of death to the world to help seal the target of this jutsu user with the death of the jutsu user as his payment. This jutsu has side effects that make the body and soul of the user in pain....
--
"Wait first. How could that be possible? Grandfather was a fragment of the soul of the god of death then grandfather summoned the god of death itself to come to the world? How come?" ask Naruto.
"Of course you can, your understanding is wrong. The god of death that appeared when the jutsu shiki fujin was used, it was also a fragment of the soul of the god of death just that its level was lower than my soul. The soul fragment of the death god from the jutsu shiki fujin resonated with me, making shards of the soul shiki fujin enter my body, increasing my death law for a moment, and making the jutsu shiki fujin more flexible," kuruto.
"In that state, I can kill them all at once. But I don't want to. You know why?" ask Kuruto.
Naruto was silent for a moment, (Hm.).
"There are a few things that come to my mind. However, one thing was certain, grandfather wanted the next protector to finish them off. With two tsutsuki already weakened will make it easier for the next protector to handle them. That way, the next protective experience will increase" said Naruto.
"Ho, your analysis is pretty good. However, in addition, the deaths of 3 tsutsuki people will be realized by tsutsuki who explore the dimensions. At least one of them will come to this earth and no one else will be able to fight it" Kuruto said.
"Huh? Did Grandpa die because of jutsu shiki fujin? No, did grandfather and father die because of the death law?" ask Naruto.
Kuruto smiled broadly, "True! The death laws were able to eliminate the side effects of Shiki Fujin's jutsu. However, the use of the law itself requires a strong physical body. It is like a computer and the applications in it. Heavy applications such as high-end games measuring 100 GB will not be able to run on lower-end computers. In addition, each computer has different specifications depending on the purpose of use."
"That means every body of people has different talents and there is also a way to change that talent" Naruto said.
"Grandfather, as far as I know the tsutsuki you killed was the animal summoning tsutsuki, right?" ask Naruto
Kuruto nodded.
"Then is he sealed inside the belly of the death god jutsu shiki fujin?" ask Naruto.
"Yes, his soul is sealed in fujin shiki jutsu but my soul is not sealed in it. Due to the influence of the death law I used, my soul returned to the afterlife. That's what happened to Minato, too" Kuruto said.
"What?! Then isn't it that if my body is strong enough to withstand the side effects of the death law, I can use the fujin shiki jutsu without dying?" ask Naruto.
Kuruto nodded, "Sure."
"Son, I've told you my past," Kuruto stood up from his seat.
"It's time for you to study, follow me," Kuruto said walking to the lake.
Naruto nodded then stood up and followed his grandfather. Kuruto had reached the shore of the lake. He set one of his feet on the lake water but his feet did not sink. The lake water solidified so that Kuruto's feet could tread on the water without drowning, as well as Naruto.
They walked towards the middle of the lake.
"Son, do you remember the day the kyuubi was sealed into your stomach?" ask Kuruto.
"Yes cake, I still remember it. On that day my father used shiki fujin to seal half the kyuubi into my mother so that she could still survive death. On that day my soul and Naruto's soul joined completely. From that moment on, 70% of my spiritual energy felt constrained. Does Grandpa know anything?" ask Naruto.
"I know, of course, because I'm the cause of your spiritual energy disappearing" Kuruto said.
"What?!" Naruto surprised.
"It's long enough to explain. Son, wasn't your soul already tied to a seal before reincarnation?" ask Kuruto.
"Yes. With 100% of my spiritual energy, I have a total of 30 seals that limit my spiritual energy. However, with 30% of my remaining energy I only have 9 seals now" Naruto said.
"This seal was installed by the old man who took care of me while I was alive before reincarnating. He said the potential of my soul is too terrible if it is not sealed it is impossible for me to control it even it also triggers many creatures that target me," said Naruto.
"That's the right decision. On earth you live first if your soul is not sealed it will only invite powerful beings from other dimensions that cannot be handled. Do you know what is so special about your soul? You have 10 soul cores" Kuruto said.
"Huh? Soul core? What'sthat?" ask Naruto.
"The essence of the soul is the source of spiritual energy, the storage center of all memories, and the important key to reincarnation. If the core of the soul is destroyed, your soul will disappear, you will die permanently without being resurrected" Kuruto said.
"Look, like the soul is the physical body and the soul core as the brain. You know the soul avatar, don't you? That soul avatar came from the soul core. That was why the moment the soul avatar was lost or even damaged would be fatal to the soul just as much as the damage of a certain part of the human brain. However, in the afterlife the human soul that has been damaged or lost will experience recovery as long as the core of his soul is still there" Kuruto said.
"In this world, generally the soul core is unable to regenerate a severed soul. But your soul is different..." Kuruto was silent for a moment, (i said too much.).
"You have 10 soul nuclei and those whole cores can each produce 100% of your present energy. It means that your present energy compared to your original energy is 1:10" Kuruto said.
"What?!" Naruto sweat.
(If so...is it possible for me to use a large-scale spiritual Technique in the future?) inner Naruto.
Naruto looked at his grandfather's back, "If what grandfather said was true then what about Ayu? The system is tied to my soul, Naruto's soul, and what about the kyuubi sealed in my subconscious?"
"Your system is actually only tied to one of your unfettered soul cores whereas the Kyuubi is sealed inside your body not your soul so he will not be able to manipulate your soul if the seal sealing it does not come off. Then for Naruto's soul isn't it obvious? His soul joins your soul, adding 1 more soul core to your soul" Kuruto said.
"However, I reined in it. No, I used Naruto's soul core along with your seven soul cores to create a soul sealing array" Kuruto said.
(!!!) naruto's eyes were wide-eyed to realize something.
"Could the day I was born into the world be the day that Tsutsuki's soul entered my body and imprinted her Karmic seal on me? Then when my father, Minato, did the process of sealing kyuubi and using the shiki fujin Technique, grandfather reacted and sealed the soul of Tsutsuki in my body," said Naruto.
"Good, good judgment. I used a special seal to seal tsutsuki's soul, though, the spiritual energy of the eight soul cores used as the foundation will continue to maintain the ability of the tsutsuki soul seal while the memories of the soul core will continue to connect to your other soul. That's why you or the system inside you don't know anything" Kuruto said.
"Son, tell me, after I've spoken at length did you already know the reason why your system couldn't stop the soul of tsutsuki who was trying to manipulate your body earlier?" ask Kuruto.
"I know grandpa. Other than because Ayu had not unlocked her full potential, that tsutsuki soul should also have great spiritual energy and could not compare to Ayu's current spiritual energy. Not to mention that Ayu's nearly depleted spiritual energy can be replenished with the help of tsutsuki's Karma seal, so the same can also apply to tsutsuki's soul" Naruto said.
"The special seal that grandfather used to seal tsutsuki's soul is also special if it wasn't for my manipulated body, Ayu would definitely not have reacted. Well, although in the end Ayu could not do anything because the grandfather seal made her err," said Naruto.
"Good work, son. Now, even though we have not reached the middle of the lake let's start the lesson" Kuruto said.
Kuruto instantly flipped over and grabbed his fingers in his right hand, he swung his hand with great energy horizontally.
*DRYING!!!
*DOLL!!
(Huh?..) Naruto's inner confusion.
(A... What happened?..) Inner Naruto saw his own body standing without having a head attached above it.
Kuruto smiled widely.
SERIATE...
After I thought the cake didn't move the world first. There is still a lot to explore. Btw pict below is just a sweetener, I dabble hotpot ai and this is the result.
