Reincarnation is the dream of countless people; so many dreamed of another chance, another life. Entire religions were centered around it.
And even if one isn't very religious, just the amount of people reading books, watching films, or playing games and silently wishing to reincarnate into those worlds was surely staggering.
And why wouldn't it be so? Who wouldn't want another chance, a better or more exciting life, a more exciting world? To become a god or something damn near it, to have all their dreams fulfilled.
Yes, reincarnation is a dream, though it's not the lone dream. Transmigration is just as good. Everyone just wants an adventure, to enter into a once fictive world and take it on, to be hella overpowered.
Sometimes, if something sounds too good to be true, it's because it is too good to be true.
Why do I say that? Why be fucking cause I got lucky enough to transmigrate into a cool new world and get cool new powers, to be the most overpowered person for miles!
I, a normal boring ass person, died a boring ass dead and entered into the world of Naruto!
The world is filled with people with superpowers, with eyes granting you broken powers, creepy snake people, and brainwashed child soldiers.
Sounds like a dream come true right? Well wrong!
Why?
Because I'm overpowered as fuck!
That's a good thing?
It would be. If I wasn't fucking Kaguya Ōtsutsuki! And if I wasn't finding myself sealed inside the fucking moon!
That's right, I just started my second life, and it's already over, trapped for the next thousand years inside the moon, only to be summoned outside and then fated to be beaten by a couple of stupid teens.
Well, even if I can somehow avoid the last part, I'm still stuck inside this damned seal formed by my disloyal sons until my only loyal child Zetzu frees me in a millennium.
I'm not sure if the original Kaguya was awake while inside the seal, though I kinda doubt it, I think she was meant to be unconscious, and me taking over was what caused me to wake up.
It would have been better to just sleep through all this; it would likely save me from going mad due to being trapped here for that long. But at least I can confidently say that, yes, I'm overpowered as fuck.
I have all of Kaguya's memories, well I guess that's normal since I am Kaguya now, and I know that there is no way I should have lost to my sons. Sure, they had a few tricks up their sleeves, like that cursed sage mode.
But it honestly shouldn't have mattered much, I, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, am a god! The power to make entire dimensions at will. Sure, that power might have been nerfed in the anime, but in my memory, that power was truly a god-level one.
Amenominaka is the power to manipulate space to the extreme of making dimensions. And in its lesser form, it is just perfect and instant teleportation of myself and anything else.
With that, it would be easy enough to deal with any situation, and even if I couldn't, I could still run.
Honestly, I couldn't really blame Kaguya for losing. Kaugya didn't know the first thing about using these powers in a fight.
Kaguya hadn't fought a lot of high-level battles, so she, and therefore I, lacked experience.
Not to mention some powers like All-Killing Ash Bones, which was a truly deadly one-shot kill, just weren't things I could easily use, practice, or play around with, much less use them to their limit in a battle against someone I didn't want to kill.
And yes, the old Kaguya hadn't wanted to kill Hagoromo and Hamura, I had held back so much it wasn't even funny.
And the combination of holding back, and not being able to properly use my powers in a fight had resulted in my current situation, sealed inside the moon.
And yes, I couldn't and wouldn't blame the old Kaguya for losing; even if one gains an innate knowledge of one's bloodline abilities upon waking them, that doesn't really translate to combat-ready power.
It took training, experience, and sparring, which wasn't easy to come by when one was a goddess among mortals.
So yeah, Kaguya wasn't some master of combat, neither then nor now. After all, before becoming Kaguya, I was just a normal person, never even been in a fight; I knew nothing about fighting, so yeah, that was still a major weakness.
At least now, I understand the sheer power of Kaguya and have a few ideas about how to better use them, which should allow me to blitz down Naruto and Sasuke once I'm free.
Plus, I had thousands of years of waiting, so I might be able to figure out something, plenty of time to plan for the future, after all.
…
…
…
And I'm bored!
So fucking bored!
Please just fucking kill me, so bored.
Bored, bored bored bored, so bored.
Being stuck in total darkness is real damn boring. I have no idea how long I have spent. Was that hours? Days? Minutes? Being conscious in here for the next thousand years will surely make me go crazy if I don't do something. I will come out here just as crazy, if not more so, than the original Kaguya.
I started to seriously go over Kaguya's memories. Her Ego seemed to have disappeared, but her memories remained, just floating around inside my head, not fully connected to me.
I admit, I was somewhat worried at first that I would end up becoming Kaguya, that my Ego would be taken over by her memories, but that didn't happen. Then again, she didn't have the strongest of egos.
Kaguya wasn't a bad person, far from it, in fact. Getting to know more about her was enlightening.
So very little was known about her, other than a few filler chapters or episodes; she was an unknown.
Yet now that I had become her and had inherited her memories, I could somewhat understand her. Well, I could understand her; I was her. It really wasn't hard to understand her when I had her memories.
She had her reasons for doing what she did, and well, she did pretty damn well. She came to a world that hadn't known peace for generations, and she gave it peace. She was revered as a goddess for it.
She might not have been the best ruler, but I think she did pretty well; if only she hadn't tried to build an army, she would likely have made a peace that would have lasted generations.
I also knew everything she did about the Ōtsutsuki clan; I knew many secrets, and I knew why she was scared of them, though personally, I don't think she had to be.
While I had never watched the follow-up show to Naruto about his son, I had seen a few clips of the big fights; I knew about the Ōtsutsuki members and had a rough idea of their power level.
Knowing about what powers I Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had, and what had taken down the others, well, I felt like I was a bigshot even within the Ōtsutsuki clan, while I wasn't the strongest, I was for sure up there.
There was no way she should be afraid, I would be welcomed back with open arms, sure I would have to prove my power, kill a few fools, but yeah, Kaguya was used to thinking of the clan as powerful, and herself as weak, so even when she got power, she failed to realize just how much she got.
Still, all that power would do me little good while I was stuck in here.
…
…
…
I couldn't even speak, so no singing…
Kaguya had been rather good at singing, so I had hoped to try… but well… thanks to my good sons, I couldn't…
…
…
…
Chakra, the fuel of the ninja world.
It is the key to everything.
It is what separates a ninja from a normal person, giving them the ability to use all their crazy jutsu.
And it is all something that was stolen from me, my chakra.
The amount I had gotten from the god tree's fruit was immense. And what set different members of the Ōtsutsuki clan apart.
Everyone could eat a fruit, but not everyone was allowed. That was because of the idea that some people would waste them.
Not everyone would get the same boost out of a fruit, something easily seen by Kaguya, who became incredibly powerful after one, so much so that it took Naruto and Sasuke, who were boosted up by my son, to take me down.
While the other Ōtsutsuki, who came later, claiming to have eaten many, were easily defeated.
I, Kaguya, was very talented, something I didn't know before I ate that fruit. That was why Kaguya was scared. She knew that people would get punished for eating if they weren't allowed.
Yet, I knew she shouldn't have worried; she turned out to be far more talented than anyone had expected; in front of her talent, my talent, everyone else was wasting the fruits.
Still, having a fuck ton of chakra didn't help me, not while stuck in here.
…
…
…
With nothing else to do, I began to try and see if I could feel the chakra inside me. I knew how it was supposed to feel from Kaguya's memories, but feeling it wasn't easy, or maybe it was, and I just couldn't feel it because of the seal.
Still, I had nothing but time, so I continued to attempt to focus inward. Trying to find the sea of power that had allowed me to be known as a goddess before my sons turned against me.
It took me a while, though I wasn't sure how long. Time meant very little inside this seal.
Nonetheless, I finally felt it, deep inside me, a massive ocean of raw power, endless chakra, countless times more than needed to break out of this seal, yet, to my dismay, it was mostly sealed completely away.
The moment I made contact with it, it was like seeing the sun, like coming out from total darkness and being greeted by the sun itself—blinding, powerful, and most importantly, all mine.
I couldn't help but feel awe at my chakra, it was… beautiful. There was no other way to describe it; it was awe-inspiring and powerful!
Yet, the seal was clearly restricting my chakra, it couldn't separate it from me, it was mine, and it wasn't easy to take it from me. I hadn't really understood the original Kaguya's love for her sons until now.
That she had been able to share half of her chakra with them was nothing short of amazing. I had the memories of her doing so, but the feelings were clearly muted, likely by their later betrayal.
I could hardly imagine doing that; it was so beautiful and without a doubt a treasure worthy of obsessing over.
I tried reaching my chakra, hoping that I might be able to use it to break free of this seal and avoid spending the next thousand years in here. But it was difficult; from Kaguya's memories, it had come so easily; my chakra had wanted to be used.
Yet now, I could barely even feel it, much less use it. Clearly, sealing was a powerful art and a dangerous one to be on the receiving end of.
Yet, I had nothing else to do, so I kept on pushing, kept on reaching out for my Chakra, attempting to reach it, to move it, to use it!
In the end, what was once an endless sea of power was now frozen, solid, and unmoving. After who knows how long, I was finally able to reach it, touch it. But I couldn't move it, so I still couldn't use it.
Still, it was some progress, and it emboldened me to continue. I kept pushing, wanting to access this sea of power. And with nothing else to do, I focused on it with a single-minded obsession.
Had my seal shattered that moment, I had no doubt I would instantly appear screaming about my chakra, appearing completely degraded, like a crack addict after their fix.
I had no idea how long I had been trapped inside the seal, no idea how long I had used to find my chakra, or how long it took me to reach it, but I felt I had been trying to use it for a long while. Nothing much happened, nothing at all, until suddenly, it shifted, ever so slightly.
And with that, my world changed completely. "I can see!"
(End of chapter)
So, a Naruto Fanfic, another one, well my first, but yeah, there are a ton of those around.
Countless bad ones, but also a ton of really good ones. I had spent countless hours reading Naruto fanfic. Both the good, and the bad.
It is one of the two big bosses of Fanfics, together with Harry Potter for a reason.
I watched the Anime as a teen, it's been a while, but since then I have never stopped reading fics about it. And I have come to realize who my favorite characters are.
Yeah, it's not Naruto or Sasuke. They have countless fics around them, and some aren't bad, but my heart was stolen by others.
If it's about the Konoha twelve, my favorite is Hinata; she is cute and yet strong. And I do prefer fics that explore that strength. That allow her to shine as I think she should.
I also really like Kiba, don't ask.
But my true favorites are on the opposite team. I have always liked villains. People who don't play by stupid rules, I hate Batman and his whole no-killing rule, it's stupid.
So, in Naruto, my favorites are none other than Kaguya (big surprise there, I bet) and Nagato, or Pain. Nagato is a great character, and the show didn't do my man too dirty, he was a big bad for a long while, and went out with a massive bang.
Even if I have a hard time forgiving him for what he did to Hinata. The only one brave enough to stand up against him, that is what real strength of character looks like!
And then there is Kaguya, the final boss of the original show. And what a twist! Who had seen that coming? Yeah, no one, because she had almost no setup, she was kinda… bad?
Everyone was pissed at her, how dare she steal Madara's thunder. Everyone looked forward to that fight, and then she just shows up, makes a fool of Madara, and then gets herself defeated like that?
Yeah, that was such a letdown.
She had a ton of potential, but it was wasted by bringing her in from out of nowhere, and then defeating her like that, never giving her time to grow, to show herself off.
It's a travesty! A crime! Unforgivable! Oh sorry, I was thinking about Buroto… because, fuck what a shit show that is.
But Kaguya still deserves her redemption, and a few good fics out there did it somewhat well. Though a lot of people either use her as a villain or a wife. Few takes her side of things.
This Fic comes from the desire to give her a chance to shine, but I am not the author of Naruto, so I can't do that. At best, I can give the role and name of Kaguya a bit of love.
Make a new, better one, because the one we got just didn't live up to her potential.
Among all my ideas for a Naruto fic featuring either Kaguya or Nagato, they always focused on the struggle, Kaguya's sealing, Nagato's broken dying body. And the idea of someone having to struggle around that weakness to truly shine.
Naruto himself is a funny one; he seems to start with nothing, having to fight his way up with nothing but an unwavering will and bright smile. But we all know that it is bullshit, Naruto isn't the tale of hard work winning over talent, because Naruto was given everything he needed to win from his birth.
All he needed to do was make friends with the fluffy fox living in his stomach, and he was unbeatable. Sasuke? Just needed to get angry enough, and his eyes gave him all the power he could ever need.
But I have also read enough fics about someone starting from something, and working their way to the top step by step, so what about something different?
I like that, either someone strong, but unable to fully use that power for one reason or another. Maybe a desire to be a good king? To allow her people a chance to achieve something themselves?
Or maybe because while they possess great power, they also have some great challenge they must overcome, like a crippled body or sealed up.
That is this story: someone born into Naruto, or transmigrated, right into the most powerful being in the world, and then curse them with bad luck, having them somehow overcome that to achieve true greatness.
From this point on, I will talk about my future plans for this story. It might contain a few spoilers, so if you don't want that, skip this, read the story, and maybe come back after chapter 10.
Warning given, now lets go on.
For this story, I'm planning to have it in a few phases, not Kingdom, magic, mutant, space, or cosmic. Curious what those are about? Well do I have a story for you!
But here, its supposed to roughly be taijutsu followed by ninjutsu and finally, Dojutsu.
Those are basically the three main powers in Naruto. Everyone starts with taijutsu, hitting people, kicking people, that's the start, always.
Then, they move on to ninjutsu, spitting fireballs, fire dragons, water dragons, and spinning chakra balls.
And finally, it's all about the shiny eyeballs.
This story will also follow the same route, going from hitting things to hitting things with other things and then getting God-like eye powers.
There will also be Romance. So far, I have two different male love interests, yeah, male. Because Kaguya clearly isn't gay, she had kids with a guy; she is into guys. No matter what countless Yuri fics try to say.
On that note, this story will have a secondary set of chapters, not all, but a few chapters might have a .5 version, which is just a version where… more mature topics are touched, it's fully optional.
But, if you put me in Kaguya's shoes, sealed inside the moon like that, I would totally jump on every handsome guy that crossed my path. Kaguya won't do that, but she isn't going to be a prude.
That said, those chapters might not appear on every Site I upload this story, due to rules and such, so if you are interested, keep an eye on the end of chapter notes to find such chapters as they are released.
