1 Prologue

In a dense forest, located in the kingdom of Fiore, in EarthLand, it was possible to see several blurs running at very high speeds, there were two people running ahead and another 10 chasing them.

The two people in front were both wearing a black hooded cape, so we couldn't see any distinguishable features other than height, where one was slightly taller than the other, and the fact that the smaller person was carrying something wrapped in a cloth in the arms.

The chase continued until the two people suddenly had an extreme increase in speed and came to a river.

Upon reaching the riverbank, the taller one took the package from the other's hands and removed the cloth from the front to reveal a small baby who could not be more than 1 month old and who had few red hairs on top of his head sleeping peacefully .

He then removed the hood from his head to reveal that he was a man who was between 20 and 25 years old, with crimson hair that looked like blood very pointed with two bangs that framed his face and azure blue eyes that were currently reflecting seriousness and a little regret.

The person next to him also removed the hood to reveal an extremely beautiful woman with the same hair color as the man beside her and amethyst eyes who had a little worry and regret as she looked down at the baby in the man's arms.

"Arashi, are you sure there is no other option?" The woman asked the now identified Arashi.

He simply shook his head with a resigned look on his face. "No, there's no option, they've already destroyed the rest of the clan and with our magical reserves as big as they are, they can track us across the country, they're coming here now and we have little time to get here."

Arashi then shifted his gaze to the baby in his arms and gave him a hopeful look. "Naruto is the last hope for the Uzumaki clan, I will put a barrier around him that will literally freeze him in time and hide his magical signature long enough for these people to leave the country."

"Kushina, say goodbye to him while I put up the barrier." He said as he handed the baby to Kushina, then started writing runes made of red light in the air at extreme speed, it was almost impossible to see his finger with untrained eyes.

Kushina just looked at the baby in her arms with a loving and slightly confused look. "Well…I honestly don't know what to say, what does a mother say to her child when she's about to sacrifice herself for him to survive?" Kushina said more to himself than to the baby.

"I don't know what to say, I was never very good with goodbyes." She admitted to herself and then looked at the baby with a regretful look. "I... I just wanted to say I'm sorry I can't be by your side while you grow up, I hope whoever finds you when the barrier is down will take good care of you, I want you to always brush your teeth, wash yourself well every day and don't eat too much ramen when you grow up, that's every Uzumaki's addiction after all." She giggled at the end.

"As for romance, try to find a good Uzumaki girl if possible, it's very easy to distinguish an Uzumaki girl, they almost always have red hair like yours and usually have weird personalities, but one thing we all share is our temperament. ardent and lack of patience." She spoke and laughed again at the end, remembering the good times with her clansisters.

Before she could continue talking, Arashi came to her with a very complex red rune floating in his hands. "Kushina, come on, time is running out, they'll be here in 5 minutes max." He said and soon after Kushina reluctantly handed the baby over to him.

They walked to the riverbank and Arashi looked at the baby with a sad look for a moment. "Hey dudy, I'm sorry I have to do this, but we don't have a choice at the moment, I hope you can be found by someone who will take good care of you." He spoke and then pulled out a necklace from inside the cloak, it was a necklace with a black string that held a rectangular pendant filled with little written runes.

"Here, in this necklace are the remains of the Uzumaki clan, it was separated into 15 levels, you can only open the first level when you are 7 years old, the age at which Uzumaki children start to learn Magic Runes in our clan, after learning the basic, you will have enough knowledge to open the second level and learn one of the other spells of the clan, also in the first level are letters from me and your mother to you. "He explained more to his wife beside him than to the baby, that now have open his eyes, looking curiously at the man who held him.

Soon after, Arashi placed the necklace around the baby's neck.

"I think this is goodbye, take care my son, I wish you could live in peace, but the people who destroyed our clan will have some way of finding you when you reach adulthood, so you will have to fight them and avenge our clan, that's a lot of responsibility for a baby, but you will succeed, I believe in you." He paused at that point and then continued. "If you can make it through all 15 levels of the necklace then you will be one of the strongest people in the world, even I only made it to level 11, but I have faith that you will make it, after all, you are an Uzumaki ."

"My last piece of advice is, always remember the Uzumaki clan motto:

Family Above fame

Family Above Glory

Family Above All."

"And remember that family is not just made up of people who share blood, family is those who go through happiness and sadness, glory and shame, wealth and poverty together with you, those you would give your life for, that's family ." He said in a serious voice and then shifted his gaze to his wife. "Do you have any last words for him, Kushina?" He asked.

Kushina leaned over and kissed Naruto on the forehead. "Live well Sochi...and please don't choose to specialize in the boring Rune Magic like your father, learn something cool like my Chain Magic." She said in a playful voice at the end, looking at her husband, who got a mark on his head when he heard she call her magic boring.

"Hey! My magic is super cool, I can teleport, that's much cooler than fighting with chains." He said in an annoyed voice and then spoke with a serious expression on his face. "Time is running out, let's go." He said as he placed a piece of paper inside the blanket that Naruto was wrapped in and then placed the red rune on the blanket, which created a barrier around Naruto's body and the boy stopped moving entirely within the barrier, in fact, everything stopped inside, even the blanket no longer moved even when a gust of wind passed, and soon Arashi brought the bubble closer to the water.

He gently placed the bubble in the river and he and his wife watched as their son was carried away by the current with a rueful look.

"Well that's it, let's get ready for the fight." He said to his wife, who nodded and then got a fierce expression on her face.

"Yeah, let's show them why we're called Bloody Whirlpools."

"But first let's move somewhere away from the river or they might find our son later... that is, if anyone in that group is strong enough to survive the battle."

(1 month later)

It was a normal day for Wasser the Water Dragon, she woke up, hunted some animals for the breakfast, then dove into the river where she lived and floated in the water as she stared up at the sky, lost in thought, until she felt something coming down the river.

She looked curiously when a bright golden bubble came to her and collided with her claw, she took the bubble and brought it to her eyes and looked at it with interest, and then the bubble started to shatter and she placed it in the palm of her hand.

She looked curiously when a small human baby wrapped in a blanket was revealed, she looked at it for a moment and saw a piece of paper coming out of the blanket, she caught it with her other claw and brought it up to her eye level, only had two words written down and she deduced it was the child's name.

Naruto Uzumaki

She focused on the child for a moment and then exclaimed in surprise. "Wow, you have a huge amount of inactive magic, almost as much as a normal adult mage." She was very surprised to discover this, as it was practically unheard of for a baby to have such magical power, and she saw that it was probably a 1 month old newborn at most, her magical reserves would grow along with it, so when it was a As an adult, his reserves would be utterly monstrous.

It was at that moment that the baby woke up, he opened his eyes and showed that he had sky blue eyes that looked at her with curiosity, a little weird, since normally a human baby would cry when he saw a giant dragon, but the baby instead started to laugh and stretch his arms to her.

Seeing this, Wasser made a decision. "It's decided, as of today I'm your mother, little one, and I'll teach you everything I can in my last years of life." She said and then put her head close enough that Naruto could touch her muzzle.
