Capítulo 1: Prologue: The Night That Changed Everything
Location: Konohagakure
October 11th, 7 years after the attack of Kyūbi no Yōko
In a small apartment, a young blonde haired boy with whisker-like markings on his cheeks and bruises on his arms, legs and face is asleep. To those who don't know him, he's simply the village's resident troublemaker. To those that think they know him, he's Uzumaki Naruto, the reincarnation of the Nine Tailed Demon Fox. But to those that really know him, he is Uzumaki Naruto Namikaze, the Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails, son of the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato and former Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails, Uzumaki Kushina, and most importantly, he is the savior of Konohagakure.
This night was going to be unlike any night he'd slept through before, as this night, someone else was in the room with him. Dressed in an all black ensemble, a blond haired man with blue eyes and similar markings on his face loomed over Naruto's sleeping body.
"To think I'd be coming this far back. Looking at you now, I don't think anyone from our time would believe that this boy would end up becoming Hokage. But as much as I'd like to have a proper talk with you and help you learn how to use this, I don't have much time to keep the gate open, so good luck ancestor. You'll honestly need it to face those horned bastards." The man said as he pulled out what looked like a syringe and stuck the needle into Naruto's neck, which surprisingly didn't wake Naruto.
As he walked to the window of the room, he looked at the rest of the village with a reminiscent gaze. "We won against them, but we lost far too many people to do so. I'm counting on you to help us change that, ancestor." He said then seemingly disappeared into the night, never to be seen again.
Some hours passed, and the dawn broke, l and Naruto awoke from his slumber, his body feeling strangely energetic. He noticed that he was sweating profusely, making his whole body sticky. He also noticed black splotches on his body as well as a pungent stench that was coming off him. The very first thought that came to him was to clean himself as soon and as well as possible.
But before he could move to clean himself up, a voice startled him. [Are you awake, Master?] Hearing a female voice come from seemingly nowhere caused him to become alert. He looked around, trying to find the source of the voice, only for it to repeat the same question.
"Hey, who are you?! Come on out already, you jerk." He said with his arms up and eyes darting about. 'It can't be that one of the shinobi is pranking me, or is this all in my head?' He thought to himself. [Please calm down, Master. I'm speaking from within your body.]
Hearing that, he swallowed then asked the voice for its identity. [I connect and serve as a core to support Master's brain. I am the Maelstrom Corporation's 7th generation Nano Machine.] The words were strange to him, but he still tried to make some sense of them.
"Okay, what are you doing in me, and why are you here?" He asked, hoping for an answer that wouldn't mean anything untoward happening to him. [Sending basic information to Master's brain.] "What's with the Master?" He asked, noting that the voice was constantly referring to him as its master.
[I am trying to send you the basic information and manual about me to your brain. Will you accept?] In his confusion, Naruto says yes, and his brain is immediately flooded with vast amounts of information, so much so that it causes a sensory overload and causes him to vomit the remnants of last night's meal.
[This is a natural reaction when you first receive information in your brain. You won't feel dizzy or nauseous starting from the second time.] After a few coughs, Naruto came out of his dizzy spell. "Nano Machine?" [Yes, Master.]
"Is it true that there's now a lot of machines in my body?" He asks as he looks at his body. [That is correct. Specifically 7,101,007,000 nanomachines have been placed in your body.] His mind was still reeling in amazement at the sheer amount of machines within his body.
"If I wanted to, could I remove you from my body?" He asked. [As you have seen in the information that was sent to your brain, I am programmed to only be extracted outside the body in the event of your death.] The Nano Machine responded.
"I see. Well, I better get cleaned up now. Don't wanna get to the academy late." Naruto said and went into the bathroom. As he got there, he looked into the mirror and noticed that his body looked way better than before.
Despite his young age and clearly lacking diet, his body had already built up a considerable amount of muscle, his skin that would normally look slightly pale now looked healthier. But all of that paled in comparison to the most prominent change his body had undergone, his hair.
Unlike the normal yellow blonde color that Naruto was used to seeing, his hair was now looking closer to a light orange. "Hey, Nano. I can call you that right." He said as he checked his hair over and over in the mirror.
[Affirmative. Designation set as Nano.] He cleaned his face quickly, just in case there was something in his eyes. "Why is my hair turning orange?"
[Uzumaki heritage was detected within Master's body. I used Master's chakra to fully activate it, so now Master has the full benefits of having the Uzumaki bloodline.] Nano explained to him. "Uzumaki? Who are those meant to be?"
[Permission to access history archives?] Naruto thought over it for a few seconds, then granted Nano permission. Immediately after, another flood of information was blasted into his brain. And like Nano had said earlier, he no longer felt dizziness or nausea from the influx of information.
"I see. So the red hair I would have had is now joining the yellow hair I had. That's cool." Naruto said, not fully understanding the information that he had just received. If he had proper knowledge of things, he would have understood far more than he did, but he was merely a 7 year old boy.
Stepping into the small bathtub, Naruto cleaned his body of the filth and grime that Nano had forced out of his body. As he did so, he looked at his body a bit more, noticing some of the different changes to his physique.
Smiling as he took note of the changes to his body, he thought about all that had happened to him. He was an orphan from birth, and he was unilaterally ostracized by the people in the place he called home. Now, as far as he was concerned, fate had chose to smile on him by sending him Nano. He didn't care much more what the other members of the village thought of him, not now that he would have Nano as his ultimate support. "It's my time now, dattebayo." He said with a smile and eyes as blue as the clear sky.
