120 Years After the Devil Civil War
In an endless void, where in all directions there is a mixture of iridescent colors, two powerful beings were fighting.
Shock after crash shook everything in the surrounding area.
-"Go away, Baka-red"-
One of the beings spoke with a voice that lacked worldly feeling or emotion.
She was a pretty young girl with long black hair down to her hips and black eyes. She has ears with pointed tips, although her long black hair makes this feature difficult to notice. Her outfit consists of a black gothic lolita style.
This being was Ophis, he is the Dragon God, known as the Ouroboros Dragon and the Infinite Dragon God.
-"Force me, old woman!"-
The other being shouted rebelliously.
The one who said that was a huge red western dragon with a horn on its snout and two pairs of wings. Its total length measures around one hundred meters.
This being is Great Red, also known as the Apocalypse Dragon, the Generating Red Dragon, True God, True Dragon, and the Dragon of Dragons.
Currently the two were fighting in the Dimensional Gap, again.
-"Go away"- Ophis said without any expression. -"You ruin my silence"-
-"Never!"- Great Red shouted rebelliously. -"You left! Now this place belongs to me!"-
The two Dragons raised their auras, ready for the next attack. But that attack was interrupted by a female voice.
-"Bad; very bad. You should not be fighting"-
The two Dragons stopped increasing their auras, only to open their eyes in shock.
They knew that voice; since that voice belonged to the being who created them. A true being who has the right to be called God.
When Ophis and Great Red directed their gaze to where the voice came from, they saw a beautiful woman with black hair and golden eyes, she was wearing a kind of tight-fitting wizard's robe.
-"I am very disappointed that you two, as brothers, are fighting"-
The woman stated with disappointment in her voice.
That woman is neither more nor less than the Goddess of Magic, Gaia.
She and the mother and creator of Great Red and Ophis.
-"M-Mother!"- Great Red shouted in surprise. -"What are you doing here!?"-
It was a surprise, since they have not seen it since the beginning of this world.
-"Well, I haven't seen you in a long time"- Gaia smiled at him maternally. -"Also, I have something to tell you"-
Great Red became curious. -"Tell us something?"-
-"It must be important"-
Ophis said in a monotone voice. She knew that if she had something to do with her mother, she had something to do with the Gods.
-"Yes, it's a little important"- Gaia said. -"You see, one hundred and twenty years ago, the Supreme God reincarnated a person into this world"-
Both Ophis and Great Red widened their eyes in shock. The little they knew about the True Gods was that the Supreme God never intervenes in anything or anyone. He was always in the Realm of the Gods, seeing and supervising every world or universe that exists.
-"In addition to the fact that he also gave him his blessing"-
-"THAT!?"-
Great Red shouted in pure shock. Ophis remained silent, but with his eyes and mouth wide open; which meant she was surprised too.
There are few beings in all the worlds and universes who were blessed by the True Gods.
Like Great Red, who has the blessing of the Goddess of Magic, the God of Dragons, and the God of Dreams. This was how he became a True Dragon and Dream Dragon.
And Ophis, who has the blessing of the Goddess of Magic, the God of Dragons and the God of Snakes. That's how she became a True Dragon and Ouroboros Dragon.
-"Well, not only does he have that of the Supreme God"- Gaia continued without stopping smiling. -"But also that of the God of Storms, the Goddess of the Sun, the Goddess of the Moon, the Goddess of Light, the Goddess of Death, the God of Dreams and Adventures and mine"-
-"W-W-W-Wh-Wh-?"-
Great Red tried to say some coherent words, but he is too surprised to speak.
Meanwhile, Ophis looked like a fish out of water.
-"Now that I think about it"- Gaia put on a thoughtful expression. -"I also heard from the Kingdom of the Gods that both the God of Blacksmithing and Crafts, the God of Dragons and other Gods are also thinking of giving her blessings"-
Now both Ophis and Great Red had the same thought.
-(Who the hell is that guy!?)-
-"And why are you telling us this, mother?"-
-"I would like them to get to know each other"- Gaia said with a smile. -"He is a good person and I am sure he would resolve the conflict between you"-
-"It is not necessary, mother"- Ophis said in a monotone voice. -"Baka-red was already leaving"-
-"Never!"- Great Red shouted angrily. -"You left and now this place belongs to me!"-
An argument then began between the two Dragon Gods, with Great Red shouting loudly and Ophis speaking in a monotone voice.
-"Children, stop fighting"-Gaia scolded the two, who quickly apologized so as not to earn the wrath of her mother. -"Good. I think it's time for you to meet him"-
Then they snapped their fingers.
Suddenly, next to Gaia, a small explosion of golden light appeared, which when it faded, showed a confused Naruto, wearing his Kage clothes.
-"Huh? Where am I?" - Naruto asked, looking around, and then seeing Gaia. -"Gaia-chan?" -Then he saw Great Red and Ophis in front of him, impressed. -"Wow"-
While Great Red, he narrowed his eyes at Naruto.
-"Sorry for bringing you here suddenly, Naruto-kun"- Gaia apologized with a smile. -"I just wanted you to meet one of my children"-.
-"Children?"-
Naruto was surprised by this new information.
-"Yes. I created them myself"- Gaia then pointed to the two Dragons. -"This is Ophis and Red. Children, this is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, the person I told you about"-
The two Dragons didn't say anything, they just kept looking at Naruto. Then Red spoke.
-"Is this a joke, mother?"-
-"Hey?"-
Naruto looked at him blankly.
Gaia smiled at him. -"No, I'm not joking"-
-"It has to be it"- Red said, and then Naruto looked at him with mockery. -"It is impossible for this dwarf to be so important"-
Obviously Naruto didn't like that. It still made him angry that someone made fun of his height.
-"Don't call me a dwarf!"- Naruto shouted angrily. -"Lizard with wings!"-
Red got an angry throbbing vein.
-"I am not a lizard, Hybrid between tomato and lemon!"-
-"Guys, stop fighting"- Gaia scolded them severely, making the two quickly apologize. -"Well, Red, why don't you use your power with dreams on Naruto and see it yourself?"-
-"Good!"- Red agreed. -"But I still think it's not a big deal"-
-"And make your sister see it too"-
-"But-!"-
-"No buts"-
-"Good"- Red sighed defeated, and then looked at Ophis. -"Just touch my head and I'll do the rest"-
Ophis nodded. She was also curious as to why Naruto is so special. Then she reluctantly, although she didn't show it openly, she touched Red's head with her hand.
-"Ehh, what are you going to do, specifically?"-
Naruto asked curiously.
-"We will enter your mind to see your memories"-Red explained.-"And so we will see what makes you so special"-
Then she carefully placed her claw from her right arm on Naruto's forehead, and then both Red and Ophis entered her mind.
......
...
....
....
Both Red and Ophis were in a color space between black and white.
-"Are we on your mind?"-
Ophis asked in a monotone voice.
-"Yes"-Red nodded, while she looked around. -"In the part where the memories of him are found"-
Suddenly, in front of them, something began to form to show a scene.
-"You're such a pain! I can't believe I have to take care of a monster like you!"-
A middle-aged woman shouted angrily, while she was holding by her arm a malnourished child, about three years old, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and unusual marks on his cheeks, resembling mustaches.
It didn't take long for both Red and Ophis to know that the child was Naruto.
The woman dragged Naruto with force, so much so that it seemed like her grip hurt, to be carried towards a closet. Suddenly the woman forcefully pushed Naruto into the closet, causing him to hit himself.
-"You'll stay in there all week!"-
-"B-But-But, I-I didn't d-do anything"-
-"Yes you did, having arrived at this orphanage"-
The woman said, and then locked the closet, with Naruto inside it.
Suddenly the scene changed.
In a courtyard, surrounded by children, there was a little Naruto, being beaten by another child, one or two years older than him, while two others held him down, so that he would not escape or defend himself.
-"Take that, demon!"-
The older boy shouted, as he seemed to enjoy hitting Naruto.
Meanwhile, the other children around them were either laughing, supporting the boy, or insulting Naruto.
-"P-P-Please p-pa-stop"-
Naruto begged very painfully. He could tell that he had a black eye, a broken jaw and many bruises on his face.
-"Shut up, demon!"-
The boy then punched Naruto in the abdomen, causing him to lose air.
Meanwhile, those in charge of the orphanage watched everything with happiness and satisfaction.
Red looked at everything with half-lidded eyes. From what he was seeing, he was not liking anything.
Ophis continued with a blank look, as she kept staring.
Then the scene changed again.
Outside a house, Naruto was thrown forcefully out the front door into the street.
-"I'm already tired!" -The woman shouted angrily, while she was standing at the door. -"Now you will no longer be our problem!"-
She then went inside and closed the door.
The scene changed again.
Naruto, about six years old, was running through the streets at night, while he was chased by a large group of people, who carried everything from sticks to knives in their hands.
-"Catch the demon!"-
-"Don't let him escape!"-
After a while, they were able to catch up with Naruto. They began to hit him with whatever they had, while ignoring his screams and pleas.
The scene changed again.
A young Naruto was walking through the streets, while people around him talked about him or looked at him with hatred.
-"Look, he is the devil"-
-"How is it possible that the Hokage let him enter the academy"-
-"That Demon does not deserve to become a Konoha ninja!"-
Naruto lowered his head, tears coming out of his eyes.
The scene changed again.
In a hospital bed, there was an unconscious Naruto, very injured and bandaged.
Next to the bed is an old man dressed in a white robe with red details, who looked at Naruto sadly.
Suddenly Naruto woke up, opening his left eye, which was the only one that was not bandaged, to look at the old man.
-"Jiji?"-
Naruto tried to sit up in bed.
-"Don't move" -The old man spoke, while he stopped Naruto from sitting down. -"You are very hurt"-
-"What happened?"-
-"They found you injured"-Said the old man as he looked at Naruto sadly. -"The people who hurt you have already been arrested"-
Naruto seemed to remember everything, and then looked down sadly.
-"Jiji?"-
The old man looked at him, waiting for the question.
-"A-Am I a d-demon?"-
Naruto asked in fear, as he raised his head.
The old man opened his eyes in shock.
-"No, of course not!" - The old man shook his head. -"You are not a demon, Naruto"-
-"Then why does everyone hate me?"-
-"I do not know"-
The old man said heavily.
Naruto remained silent for a few seconds, then spoke again.
-"Jiji, do people love you?"-
The old man raised an eyebrow at the question, but answered the same.
-"Well, since I became Hokage, some people started to love and respect me"-
-"So you could say that people love you?"-
Red opened his eyes in shock. -"No, it can not be"-
Ophis, who heard what he said, did not understand what you were referring to.
And of course she doesn't understand, since she wasn't able to look at what Red was looking at.
As the Dragon of Dreams, he was able to see the dreams of all beings. The reason people fight, the reason they become strong, the reason they live...
And right now Red is seeing Naruto's dream and was very surprised with what he saw.
-"Hmm, you could say yes"-
Naruto was silent for a few seconds, then spoke.
-"So"- Naruto put on a big smile. -"I will become the next Hokage!"-
Suddenly space began to take color and show all of Naruto's memories.
Both Red and Ophis looked at the memories with amazement. Their fights, their victories, their defeats, their moments both happy and sad.
......
...
....
....
When they left Naruto's mind, they were still in the same position. With Red touching Naruto's forehead and Ophis touching his head The only difference was that Red had his eyes wide and so did Ophis, just slightly.
-"Ehh, everything okay?"-
Naruto asked curiously and a little worried.
Red blinked when she heard Naruto's voice, and then looked at him in a way that he never thought he would see in someone, unless it was her mother, or another God of the same category as her.
I respect...
And then start laughing out loud. And while she laughed, he was enveloped in a light, and then showed not the gigantic Dragon, but a man in his twenties, with long red hair and golden eyes, who was wearing a red suit. The only Dragon parts on his body were his reptilian ears.
-"Hahahahahahaha! I have to say that you earned my respect, boy! You are someone incredible! Hahahahahahaha!"-
Red said laughing, as she stood next to Naruto and slapped him on the back as if they were friends.
Naruto looked at everything without understanding anything.
-"I don't understand"- Ophis spoke, drawing everyone's attention. -"They mistreated you, they hated you; and instead of hating them, you tried to earn their love. Why?"-
Hearing what Ophis said, Naruto looked away with a sad smile, while he scratched the back of his neck.
-"Well, you could say that I understood that hating them wouldn't change anything. Which would prove that they were right"- Naruto said, then looked at Ophis with a smile. -"Besides, I couldn't blame them. They were blinded by fear and hatred. I was once, but then I changed and I decided to do everything possible to earn their love and respect; something I finally did." -
Ophis just looked at Naruto in silence and with a monotonous face, and then spoke.
-"I still don't understand"- Ophis said still confused. -"Why is love so important?"-
Before Naruto could respond, Gaia spoke first.
-"How about you find out while you stay with Naruto for a while?"-
Naruto looked at Gaia confused.
-"If you suggest it, mother, then I will do it"-
Ophis said in a monotone voice.
Gaia smiled at Naruto. -"No problem, right Naruto-kun?"-
-"Huh?"- Naruto thought about it. -"No, of course not"-
-"Ohh, I want to go too"- Red said with a smile. -"This place has become very boring"-
-"Alright?"-
Naruto said still unsure.
Then Naruto began to be bombarded with questions. Red asked about where he lives and Ophis asked about love.
Gaia looked at everything with a smile. She knew that Naruto's presence would bring good changes for her children.
And in the end she is not wrong; since that was the day that both Red and Ophis's lives changed for the better.
