"I want you to help with my eventual revival."

Right from the beginning I knew that I would be tasked with Kaguyas revival and I always contemplated wether I should betray her or work for her.

In the story she is portrayed as that crazy woman with a god complex that threw away her own humanity for power. She forced humanity into a genjutsu that disconnected them from reality and also tried to kill her own children as they also had access to her precious chakra.

I have constantly asked myself, if I want to asssist her and to be honest the only point that I had a problem with was her personality.

I don't care if she plans to control the whole world; I don't care if she plans to kill everyone that opposes her. In the end I just couldn't bring myself to really be her enemy and see myself as some kind of hero. Instead I can fully understand her plan and also support it in some ways.

But currently there is one thing that held me back from completely committing myself to her plan: Hitomi and Hiashi.

"Child. I see that you are thinking about this whole situation."

"Yes, I don't understand what you mean with 'revival'."

"Hm~ My body was sealed and the only way for me to be 'revived' is by creating a suitable vessel for my spiritual being. There are certain conditions that have to be met for the vessel and currently there is only one person in the Elemental Nations who is working for me."

"Who is that person?" Even if I already know that...

"Black Zetsu. He is my will in physical form that I left behind before my sealing."

"You mentioned that you were sealed before."

"That is a story for another time, child."

I really wanted to know more about the 'real' past of the Elemental Nations. Guess that will have to wait for now.

"Aside from that you did not give me an answer yet. Will you work together with Black Zetsu?"

"Can you first tell me what you plan to do once you are alive again?"

Instead of being angry with me, she seems to be amused by my question.

"Of course. I plan to bring an end to war and bring peace to the Elemental Nations. With a world wide genjutsu I will have humans stop fighting each other, just like I did in the past."

At least she didn't lie to me.

"What do you say, child?"

First of all, she doesn't really seem to be that crazy person that is shown in the original story. In fact she seemed pretty reasonable.

"It is a honorable goal."

"Indeed. But I can see the look you are giving me. You don't trust me yet, but there is also something else. I feel like you already have an idea what that genjutsu will do to everyone."

Crap.

"Oho~ I want to hear what you think the genjutsu will do."

What do I tell her? She said earlier that she has seen the memories of my last life and I am pretty sure that I completely hid all memories related to this world from my last life.

"...in my last life there had been this story about people in another reality. Matrix. I expected the genjutsu to do something similar"

This is the only thing could come up with!

"I have seen it and you are very close to the truth. The world wide genjutsu 'traps' everyone into another world that fulfills all their dreams. They will be able to live out a perfect life.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Is that not the perfect way to stop humanity from killing itself? The perfect way to bring peace to our world?"

"It sounds like it."

It is not like I really disagree with that idea.

"At least you can agree to it. Anyway I want you to meet up with Black Zetsu and assist him with my revival."

"That might be problematic as my body is still that of a young child."

"Don't worry. I just want you out of that horrible place and bring you to another that will help with your development. I have been with you for a few months now and I am not happy with your current enviornment."

She had been with me for months? Why did I never notice her?

"The only person that really looks out for you is your new mother. True your father and that bodyguard adore you, but I am sure that they would be ready to dismiss you, if you should ever be revealed to be a monster or freak.

What do you imagine will happen once your body starts changing rapidly? I know for a fact that you will gain access to a third eye and that it will be a Sharingan. Just imagine everyone in Konoha looking at the Hyuga Clan with a child that is born with a Sharingan or the Hyuga Elders trying to question your parents. Maybe you will be the reason for an all out war between the Hyuga and the Uchiha?

There is also the fact that you will probably have your first period in the next 4 years as your body is growing twice as fast as others.J Just imagine how people will see you when you start bleeding without even be 6 years old.

Everyone will start seeing you as a monster or even the result of an experiment. The Hokage will want mindwalkers entering your mind to check your loyalty and maybe even completely brainwash you.

And the worst is that the only person that will truly support you will be dead by that point. Your mother won't make it for another 2 years. I would even bet that your mother won't survive her current pregnancy."

The whole scenario Kaguya just described is something, I also already expect. It is the reason why I want to leave Konoha. But that last part...

"My mother is pregnant?"

"Yes. Any sensor could tell you that there is a budding second chakra network in your mother, which is normal for a pregnant woman. But with the way she has been behaving lately and her apparent exhaustion, I would say that your mother must have used a technique that erased a good part of her life energy in the past. She won't survive the pregnancy and will die this year."

She will die this year.

"Are you sure?"

This year. Not in two or tree years, but in just one.

"Yes."

I know that there is nothing I can do, but it still hurts.

"You should be ready to leave Konoha once your mother left this world. After her death there won't be anything in Konoha for you."

"...yes. Just give me a minute to think everything through."

I really should leave then. Staying in Konoha will only bring trouble to me and the Hyuga family. I can already see people giving me weird looks for weird horns or my abnormal third eye.

There is no point in which I would disagree with Kaguya. Konoha will only be full of hurdles and troublesome people. With the help of Black Zetsu, I might get access to any jutsu library that I wish and can easily leave any hideout to gain real battle experience.

As long as I am in Konoha, my abilities won't really progress beyond a certain limit and even if I have access to the Hyuga library, I don't think that it can rival that of for example the soon-to-be massacred Uchiha library.

I bet Zetsu would be ready to get me the whole library and even spare Sharingan should I ever need them. Maybe not really the last one, but it is still an option.

There is also the fact that I will have complete access to the First Hokages DNA. What is so special about it? In the original story, the biggest badass of the story, Madara Uchiha, transplanted some of those genes into himself and got access to the Mokuten, or Wood Release, as well as evolved his Sharingan eyes to the next stage, Rinnegan.

I probably won't have to bother with them, but it is still an option that I won't have as long as I stay in Konoha.

There are only two reasons to stay in Konoha and only one of them is currently important for me. First I don't want to leave as I still have my parents in Konoha, but if what Kaguya already mentioned is true, and she probably is, then that point will disappear soon.

Second as long as I manage to 'survive' in Konoha, I can influence the original maincast of the story. I could simply meet with a completly lost Naruto Uzumaki and befriend. He should currently be without friends all alone in the world, constantly being harassed by the villagers.

That just makes me realize how much I don't want to turn into another Naruto in Konoha.

I can already envision how all that will turn out to be.

'Look there is the Kyuubi brat with the Horn Demon.'

'They are probably planning how to destory Konoha! We should start killing them!'

'Yeah!'

No. I won't be staying in Konoha.

"There is one thing I want you to tell me Kaguya. You denied me information about your past and in specific about your sealing, but if you truly want me to work with you then I want to see your memories about these events, after all you also saw my own memories. In the end I don't see any problems working with you, if everything you said was true, but I just want to see who you really are before I potentially doom the whole world."

I may have fucked up here, but I kind of got impatient with my Hitomis death in the back of my mind.

Oh. Kaguyas face instantly changed into face full of misery. I would have expected her to be angry instead of depressed.

"Hinata... *sigh*. As my champion you should probably know everything that occured in the past.

Come closer and let me transfer my memories to you."

I get closer to Kaguya, when she touches my forehead with her index finger and I promtly lose myself in her memories.
