..............
The world of Murim was not a kind place.
If a person was strong enough, he could stand above the masses and take whatever he wanted. There was little room for mercy in such a world. That was a dog-eat-dog type of world.
Murim was divided into three great factions: the Righteous Faction, the Demonic Faction, and the Unorthodox Faction.
The Righteous Faction followed strict traditions and disciplined martial arts. Their techniques were refined through generations, and their members valued control, reputation, and order, which can be clearly seen in their martial arts.
The Demonic Faction was the complete opposite. Their martial arts were violent and destructive, and their methods were often considered brutal. Wherever they went, bloodshed and destruction followed.
Then there was the Unorthodox Faction.
Bandits, assassins, mercenaries, cannibals, criminals, and countless other people who refused to live by the rules of the other factions gathered under its banner. They did not share a single moral code. They simply followed their own desires and survived by whatever means they could.
For centuries, the Demonic Faction had dominated Murim.Their power was overwhelming, and their influence stretched across countless regions.
The greater the power of the Demonic Faction became, the more enemies gathered against it.
Eventually, the Righteous and Unorthodox factions did something that would have been unthinkable under normal circumstances. They put aside their hatred for one another and formed an alliance against their common enemy.
The resulting war was one of the bloodiest conflicts Murim had ever witnessed. Mountains were destroyed by martial techniques, rivers became stained with blood, and entire sects disappeared from the map after being caught in the fighting.
The Demonic Faction began to collapse.
One demon family after another was destroyed, but the Demonic Cult continued to resist. At the center of that resistance stood the Demon Lord and his remaining disciples.
Among them was a man whose name was feared throughout the battlefield.
Xuan Tian.
The Psycho Demon.
Xuan Tian had earned that title through years of cruelty. He was a man who could laugh while killing his enemies, and he treated human lives as though they were nothing more than pieces on a board. He had committed countless atrocities during his rise through Murim, and his reputation was enough to make even experienced martial artists hesitate before confronting him.
When the Demonic Cult despised him for the atrocities he did in the demon cult, but kept him alive for his power in battle... now it's the perfect time to use it. Someone capable of standing against the combined forces of their enemies, Xuan Tian was given the position of general.
But the position was not given to him because the Demonic Cult trusted him, but because they needed a sacrifice.
The alliance formed soon after; Psycho Demon raped many orthodox and unorthodox beauties and killed them. Then they attacked the demonic faction in the name of 'killing the Psycho Demon.'
When the situation became desperate, Xuan Tian was thrown into the enemy's hands as bait so the remaining members of the Demonic Cult could survive.
The enemy gladly accepted the gift. They captured Xuan Tian alive.
For ten days, the two factions took turns torturing him. Sometimes even the demonic faction joined hands with them and tortured Xuan Tian.
His bones were broken, his body was destroyed, and his wounds were repeatedly healed only so the torture could continue. The man who had once walked through battlefields without fear was reduced to a broken figure who could barely recognize his own body.
His pride and confidence disappeared.
Even his hatred began to disappear beneath the endless pain.
For the first time in his life, Xuan Tian begged for death.......But death did not come.
On the tenth day, the torture was stopped, but Xuan Tian was completely shattered in both mind and body from immense torture.
The war was finally over.The three factions reached an agreement that would bring the conflict to an end.
They called it the Three Gentlemen's Agreement.
Those words reached Xuan Tian while he lay on the ground, barely conscious.
A gentlemen's agreement...
A bitter smile appeared on his ruined face.
He had spent his entire life believing that strength was the answer to everything. Whenever someone stood in his way, he crushed them. Whenever someone refused to obey him, he forced them. Whenever he wanted something, he took it. The women he wanted, he raped them.
But now, lying helplessly on the ground, he finally understood the mistake he had made.
Why did I have to die like this?
He had possessed a position that countless people would have killed to obtain.
Yet none of that had saved him.
When the Demonic Cult decided that he was useful as a sacrifice, his strength had not mattered.
When his enemies captured him, his strength had not saved him.
And now, as he lay dying, there was no one standing beside him.
That realization hurt more than the physical pain.
Strength alone isn't enough.
The thought became clearer as his consciousness began to fade.
If I had allies... things might have been different.
He had never understood the value of connections because he had always believed that he could accomplish everything himself.
But he had been wrong......A person needed allies.
He needed people who could fight beside him, people who could provide information, people who could handle things he could not handle himself. He needed wealth, influence, loyalty, and people he could trust.
He needed brothers, servants, women who would stand beside him.
He needed intelligence before taking action instead of relying only on overwhelming strength.
For the first time, Xuan Tian understood something that should have been obvious from the beginning.
Power without wisdom was nothing more than destruction without purpose.
Unfortunately, he had learned that lesson on his deathbed.
His eyes slowly closed, and his consciousness slipped into darkness.
Then something strange happened.
Instead of disappearing completely, Xuan Tian's damaged soul continued drifting through the darkness. He could not understand what was happening, nor could he control where he was going. His soul passed through something beyond his understanding, crossing boundaries in space.
Then, after what felt like an eternity, he sensed something.
A new world...Ninja world
A world filled with a strange energy he had never encountered before.
Chakra.
Xuan Tian's consciousness entered that world.
He found himself above a battlefield filled with destruction.
A gigantic fox with nine tails stood at the center of the chaos, roaring so violently that the earth itself seemed to tremble beneath it.
Kurama........The Nine-Tailed Beast.
In front of it stood a man wearing a white cloak.
His hands moved rapidly through seals as he desperately tried to contain the beast. His expression was filled with determination, but tears were running down his face.
He was the Fourth Hokage.
Minato Namikaze.
Xuan Tian watched the scene with confusion.
He had never seen anything like this in Murim.
The energy being used by these people was completely different from internal energy or true qi.
Then he noticed another figure.
A woman lay nearby, barely alive.
Kushina Uzumaki.
Her body had already suffered terrible injuries, yet her eyes remained fixed on the newborn child beside her.
Minato looked at his wife, and the pain on his face was impossible to hide. But, He continued the sealing technique.
The Nine-Tails was divided into two portions, and one half was sealed into Minato while the other half was sealed into the newborn child.
Xuan Tian watched everything from the side, as his soul is getting detoriated with the travel in space, he needed a vessel.
Xuan Tian looked at Minato....powerful and has immense demon chakra
Without hesitation, he moved toward Minato.
But before he could enter that man's body, he saw something that made him stop.
A terrifying, grim-reaper-like figure appeared behind Minato. Its enormous Sythe weapon pierced through the Fourth Hokage.
Xuan Tian immediately understood what was happening. He's already dying.
The opportunity disappeared before Xuan Tian could claim it.
His soul was fading even more now.
Then he heard a cry.
Xuan Tian turned his attention toward the sound.
A small baby lay nearby.
The child who had just received half of the Nine-Tails' power.
Xuan Tian did not hesitate.
His soul entered the child's body.
The moment he entered, he felt something pushing against him.
The baby's soul.
It was weak, barely developed, and incapable of resisting a soul like Xuan Tian's for long.
But it still fought.
The tiny soul struggled desperately to protect itself despite having no understanding of what was happening.
Xuan Tian could have consumed it immediately if his soul strength were high. However, his own soul had been severely weakened by the journey between worlds.
Xuan Tian started consuming Naruto's soul little by little to compensate for the soul strength he lost. As Naruto's baby soul was very small..he ate tiny portions.
After Naruto grew up...more portions of Naruto's soul were consumed by Xuan Tian.
Little by little, Naruto's sense of self became weaker while Xuan Tian's consciousness became stronger.
The child never knew what was happening to him.
He simply grew up.
...........
Konoha rebuilt itself after the Nine-Tails attack. Its streets once again became crowded with people, shops opened, children played, and life slowly returned to normal.
The villagers did not see a lonely child when they saw Naruto Uzumaki...But the Nine-Tails in him.
Naruto got many achievements:
" Demon. "....nine tails demon
"Monster."..... nine-tailed beast
"Family killer"...killer of their families
Naruto grew up surrounded by people, yet he remained completely alone.
There was only one person who consistently treated him like a human being.
Iruka Umino.
Iruka knew what it meant to lose someone because of the Nine-Tails. He had lost his own parents during the attack, yet he still managed to separate Naruto from the beast sealed inside him.
He saw a lonely child who desperately wanted someone to acknowledge him.
But even Iruka's kindness could not completely fill the emptiness Naruto carried inside him.
Years of rejections had already left their mark on Naruto.
........
Then one day, Naruto met Mizuki.
The two stood beneath the shade of a large tree while the wind moved gently through the leaves. Naruto's hands were clenched tightly at his sides, and his face showed the frustration of a boy who had spent years comparing himself to someone he could never seem to catch.
"I'll never be like Sasuke."
His voice cracked as he continued.
"Sasuke gets everything. Respect. Women. Attention. Everyone likes him. They look at him like he's special. But me... I have nothing. I'm nothing. No one even sees me."
Mizuki listened quietly.
He understood exactly what Naruto wanted....Recognition like Sasuke.
A place where people would finally look at him and acknowledge his existence.
Mizuki placed a hand on Naruto's head and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Don't worry, Naruto. In this world, power is everything. If you don't have power, no one will respect you. But if you have power, everyone will fear you."
Naruto slowly looked up at him.
For the first time, someone was giving him an answer.
Mizuki continued, "There is a forbidden scroll in the academy. It contains the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu. If you steal it, you'll gain a power that nobody can ignore. Then everyone will finally admire you for your strength."
Naruto agreed to this theft and left Mizuki.
Seeing Naruto's back, Mizuki made a shrewd smile
...........
The academy was dark when Naruto slipped inside. His heart pounded as he took the forbidden scroll and hurried away from the building.
He knew he was doing something wrong.
But the thought of finally becoming powerful was stronger, and everyone respects him, like Sasuke made him do this.
He ran into the deep forest.
Behind him, Konoha was in Chaos. The theft of a forbidden scroll was not something the village could ignore, and shinobi and Anbu were immediately ordered by Hokage to search for Naruto and the forbidden scroll.
Naruto kept running in that deep forest.
He eventually stopped when he saw someone standing ahead of him.
Iruka.
Naruto's expression changed immediately.
"Iruka-sensei..."
Iruka stared at him in surprise.
"Naruto? Why did you st—"
A sharp kunai sound was heard by Iruka, and it was heading towards Naruto.
