《Nebula's Echo (a Naruto Fanfic)》Chapter 3

Advertisement

When I regained my awareness, that's just how I felt. Just that. I felt aware. It was like I wasn't really myself, just freely floating in the world. I could see flashes, pictures of events. Memories. That's what they are. Millions of them. Thousands of years worth of them. Some of the scenes strike me as familiar.

Ah right! That light did say I was getting reincarnated into Naruto....

...

...

...

YESSSSSSS

Make no mistake. Naruto was my childhood love. It was all I did, all the time. Seriously, it just wasn't okay. It was some time ago though, so I don't really remember much... but these flashes...no, these memories are like scenes from the amine.

There's the battle between Madara Uchiha (my boy aaah) and Hashirama Senju. Then there are some other major events, as well as a lot of scenes that were meaningless and were never mentioned in the anime... Oh, there's the Nine-Tails attack on Konoha! Wait, did that happen already... How exactly do these "flashes" work?!

I concentrate on finding the oldest ones. There. The Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, and the baby bijuu. AWWWWWWW. THEY'RE SO CUUUTE. I try to find older ones, but that's it. There's nothing on the God Tree and that bushy-dot brow Kaguya or anything that happened before them...

"That's because that happened before the birth of the bijuus."

I was startled by the voice, but after the whole scenario with "God" I wasn't really surprised anymore.

"And you are?"

"I am the Record of All Things. I am here to help you settle into this new world.

And now, to fulfill my mission:

You were born from the converging of the nine bijuus chakra. That is, essentially what you are right now. Just a massive amount of chakra that is trying to come together.

If you think about it, the bijuus were born, albeit slightly indirectly, of the God Tree. Basically, the most of the chakra in the world is actually part of the bijuus. Wherever they go, they leave a trail of it behind. After every fight, or just simple skirmishes, their chakra that gets left behind merges with natures chakra. Now, all that natural chakra that has merged with that of the bijuus over the years is converging, coming together. To form you.

The memories you are seeing, are impressions on the chakra you consist of. It's like inherited memories."

I was speechless. Slowly digesting what the voice in my head, so graciously calling itself something as almighty as "the Record of All Things", said, I started to connect the dots. Now to confirm my suspicions

"So you're saying, I'm the child of the Tailed Beasts? A Tailed Beast myself, as I only consist of chakra."

So this is what he meant by becoming the child of nine immortal individuals and being relatively OP.

I mused over my current predicament. Makes perfect sense to me, actually. Except one thing...

"But isn't the combination of all the bijuus chakra the Ten-Tails?... so what exactly is going on here?"

"You are the Ten-Tails"

I would totally make a deadpan expression right about now, if I actually had a face. Unfortunately, I'm just a bunch of chakra at the moment.

"Okay, how about we deal with the confusing stuff later? For now, I would actually like to take on a physical form and not just exist."

"Ah, since you're a newborn bijuu, you are still only a mass of wild, unstable chakra. To actually become something, you'll need to stabilize your chakra while collecting more chakra so as to sustain your growth. Up to now, the Tailed-Beast chakra has been accumulating on it's own, but now that there's enough of it to sustain your awareness, you'll need to do the rest yourself. You're currently like in the embryo-stage."

"Hmmm, so accumulate chakra while also stabilizing it?"

"Yes, the recommended method to do this would be "Meditation". And while you stabilize your chakra and learn control, you should be able to simultaneously view all the impressions, or memories."

I was smiling now, in my mind of course. Multi-tasking was like, my religion.

"That kind of sounds like cultivating... you know, like in all those chinese cultivation novels. I've read millions of those. This should be no problem at all."

My voice (do I even have one, or was that just me mentally conversing..?) was sounding skippy and excited. Embarrasssiiing. I'm a freaking Tailed Beast now! I need to retain at least some dignity! Get it together, Ele... Oh, right. My name.

"Actually, can you tell me... what my new name is? And wait... omg... if I'm actually the Juubi, like you say I am, then won't I be absolutely UGLY?! NOOOOO"

At this point, I swear, even though the so called Record didn't have a body, nevermind a face, but I swear I COULD HEAR HIM ROLLING HIS EYES AT ME.

"God tweaked a few things in the Naruto storyline for you. The Juubi is no longer Kaguya and the God Tree's combination, and your appearance will become apparent later, once you've accumulated enough chakra and become a compact being.

Also you will henceforth be known as Ceiren, the Juubi."

"Phew, that's a relief. I was seriously becoming depressed about having to be an ugly beast made from an evil woman with a god-complex (no worries Light Yagami dear she's got nothing on you) and some blood drinking tree. Seriously, what a relief!"

I swear, another eye-roll.

"Oh and one last thing before I start my "cultivation" as I am gonna call it and you've got no say in the matter, the most recent of my currently accessible memories is the one of the Kyuubi's attack on the Hidden Leaf. So, does this mean that Naruto was born not long ago? Will I be able to gain a physical, ideally human, form by the time he starts, or even graduates the academy?"

I had to ask. I really want to meet him, as well as help him out. The poor boy has to suffer through so much. The sooner I can get to him, the better. Not to mention, if I can get there on time I can appreciate Sasuke IRL (sort of, you know 2D world and all) and do some serious Sakura-bashing at the same time. Jepp, multi-tasking is my jam.

"Yes, the Kyuubi was sealed only last week. Depending on how hard you work, you should be able to gain a physical form at the age of 6-8 and later develop a human form a few years later."

That's good news. If I work hard, I'll at least make it to his graduating year. I can do it. I will get to him. He needs me.

Not to mention, Kurama is one of my parents in this world. And since Naruto is his jinchuuriki, he's basically family. Oh, and Gaara too. All the jinchuuriki. I want to find them all. So we can live happily together, as one family.

My family.

... and we can go around bashing all the bash-worthy characters while we're at it ^.^

~ cuz family quality time, you know ~
