Mount Myoboku - part 3
As I went deeper inside my conscience I found an orb where the chakra of origin was giving a faint pulse. I approached it and then suddenly I was transported to a place outside this world. I couldn't feel any chakra around me.
"Where is this?"
"Good question. Where do you think it is?"A deep voice resembling the one of an old man entered my conscience. I didn't expect someone to answer so I tried to find the source of the voice. I was inside an endless white room. Everything was white. There should have been a source of light inside but I couldn't find it either. I gave up on searching for the owner of the voice and just took it as a means for me to understand what power I hold.
"I .. don't know."
"Good, when in doubt, say it so. It's better to admit that you don't know something than to ignore everything you don't understand and decide it doesn't exist."
"What is your name?"
"Name, hmm, a name holds an identity for a person, it holds their being in a set place inside a society. But I'm not inside your world. Because of this I don't have a name like you do. If you want to really know my name, then I shall be named Endless."
"Endless?"
"Yes, because I'm not fixated inside a place and neither ruled by a physical body. I am free, so I'm everywhere."
"I understand."
"It seems my gift finally fell in the hands of a person who could accept it. Too bad it took time and a special situation."
"So you are the one who gave chakra to this planet?""Yes and no. What I gave to you was a way to gain power. You just believed it was set as an unique power."
"Then chakra is not the power of life?"
"No, of course not. It's just a system. If you had made a different choice that power would have become technology, magic, spirit or anything you wanted so."
"Then what is the chakra of origin?"
"Try to adjust all the types of chakra until now to create a tower. Once you are able to do so you will understand. Take your time. I will leave you alone until then."
Feeling that the owner of the voice no longer was paying attention to me I tried to fix every type of chakra under my control in the same form, a plate, and stack them. Making a change for each one of the chakra natures at the same time was hard. I don't know how much time passed but in that space I couldn't feel that it had any value. In the end I managed to create the tower when it suddenly dispersed creating a chakra without any type of nature. In this case maybe it would be better to call it simply a power.
"The chakra of origin, is the original power without any form."
"Yes, it seems you have the right ability. Too bad that you already forgot yourself."
"What do you mean?"
"Are you Naruto?"
"Yes."
"Think about your past, your mindset and your actions. Try to see if you are the same as the one who was called Naruto."
I started to think when I suddenly felt like the me of the past was a different person with almost nothing to resemble how I was now.
"What happened to me?"
"Welcome!"
The voice happily said.
"Where?"
"To a place called the realm of gods."
"…"
"You should be able to understand it now. I said too bad because it would have been interesting for you to retain the same mindset. But now you are a god. From now on your don't have a name, but you can chose to call yourself the same as before. Also, do you wish to remain in this world, or to go to another one?"
"A-Another world?"
What is he talking about. What other world?"Oh, it seems you don't understand. I am not a god, I am just the origin of a gift. Someone placed me in this world for you humans to be able to reach a place. That place can be opened by one person, by many, or by none. It just depends on what people decide to rely on. Themselves, or another power."
"Then there are other worlds like this one?"
"Yes, but you can't go to them. There are worlds that are especially for people like you. There you can pursue even greater power or just accept the peace of a place where time won't affect you."
"I …"
I felt like I wanted to leave to that place right then. But something kept me from saying it.
"You have some things to finish. It's alright. Before you go I will give you the secrets to use all the possible jutsu. Use the orbs to store different jutsu and use them without wasting time to form it using hand signs."
In my mind different combinations of chakra started to appear, even the one tsuchikage was using, dust release. Jutsu that could destroy the entire village like konoha in one second. The strongest jutsu was a five element nature change based on wind fire earth lightning and earth. It resembled my rasengan, but it was half the size. Its power could destroy the entire land of fire in an instant. A ball of darkness with five orb moving slowly inside it.
"These jutsu are strong. But by simply using the origin you should be able to use the 9 orbs and the sword you have to simply erase everything you wish. For now go and end your mission. I will wait for you to chose and change what you wish to change."
I woke up. I was near the tree while Kurama was staying a few meters away from me.
"Welcome back, master."
He closed his eyes and bowed his head.
"Kurama. It's alright. I will allow you to be the last to call me Naruto."
"Welcome back Naruto."
I smiled at him and he also smiled at me. Both of us changed greatly.
"Let's go out Kurama."
"Yes Naruto."
Behind my back the huge tree started to disappear like It was just mist. After it disappeared a dark orb went inside my body. Its power couldn't be compared even to all the nature chakra that I could use before. A little of that power and it was enough to erase all the beings in this world.
I got on Kurama back and hurried out of the passage. When Gamamru saw me he just bowed his head and said a few words.
"It's been one year. Congratulations."
I nodded my head at him and left the space of Myoboku mountain.
…
After Naruto left, Gamakichi, Gamabunta and Fukasaku entered the room where Naruto was a few seconds before.
"Is Naruto alright?" asked Gamakichi in an worried tone. He forgave Naruto's actions from when he came even if he couldn't understand them.
"Yes he is alright."
"Great sage, is Naruto still the same Naruto?" Gamabunta asked and Fukasaku that had the same question just nodded."
For a few seconds Gamamaru was silent pondering on how to answer the question. Sighing loudly Gamamaru answered their question in a somewhat bitter tone.
"Naruto is already gone. From now on, his choices will decide the fate of this world."
Fukasaku and Gambunta went silent and turned to leave. Gamakichi still looked at Gamamaru like he had some other questions. But seeing the face of his father he gave up and left with them.
Gamamaru that remained alone closed his eyes while pondering on some of his thoughts.
"He was indeed the child of prophecy, but at the same time it can be said that the prophecy didn't accomplish. I wonder why?"
