Changing Fate

Chapter 9

Arashi's Point of View:

"Kit, how are you going to counter Obtio's Kamui?" Kurama asks.

"I am thinking of laying out a seal trap that will trap him in time using my clones, while I face him head on. But knowing Obito, I won't come from this fight unscathed," I say. 

"Are you trying to kill yourself!" Kurama exclaims.

"Kurama, I know Obito's abilities better than anyone. After all during the war he changed sides and fought alongside us. Even though he died early on, I still learnt useful moves from his arsenal. This battle won't be easy involving the factor that we also have to take care of the other two tailed beasts. This will be hell, but I will do anything to prevent the future from repeating. So even if saving Obito will cost a lot I won't ever give up! As long that there is a possibility, I am willing to take it," I say.

"Whatever Kit, but don't you dare die on me," Kurama states.

"As long as fate runs its course, death won't come to me any time soon," I answer.

"But what if Obito doesn't listen to you? What if he believe's your lying?" Kurama questions.

"There is a possibility of that occurring. but I believe in Obito. He won't cross out the possibility of my words being true without evidence. The only way he would is if Zetsu intervenes. That is why I am going to put a Hashiran marker on him just in case. But if everything goes south I will be severely injured," I reply.

"Don't you have a plan that won't kill you?" Kurama asks.

"Everything I do will put my life in danger from here on out. So don't start complaining. This is what I am willing to do so the future doesn't repeat itself. All the people I have learned from on the battle field who are now dead. I will stop that! No matter what! I won't watch my people die!" I exclaim.

"And I won't watch you die. If worse comes to worse I will intervene and get you out of there, even if its against your will," Kurama states.

"You really have changed a lot Kurama. I remember the day we met, you were an angry fur-ball that just wanted attention," I state.

"KIT!" Kurama shouts.

"Now, now Kurama there is no need for you to sulk. I will always make time for you," I state.

Suddenly I hear Utakata's heart-rate picking up, it seems like he is going to wake up soon. I watch Utakata rise up and look around his surroundings panicking. 

"There is no need to panic Utakata, I am right here," I say.

Utakata grabs my hand and holds on to it taking in deep breaths. Is he having a panic attack?

"Utakata do you want me to tell you a story?" I ask.

Utakata nods he head and I take that as a sign to start my story.

"Long ago there were the God of Life and Death that watched over this world. They were the balance and could never be broken. While people prayed to the God of Life, they feared the God of death. The God of Life shined and was accepted by everyone. While the God of death hid in the shadows watching the people from a far. Both these Gods loved the creation of Life and Death they made together. The creatures they brought to this world together. But people soon started separating life and death from each other when in reality they are part of the same fate. When one is born they will also have to die. Immortality is a cruel thing that should never be obtained. Which is why both life and death exist. 

But no one realized that and kept isolating the God of Death. The fact that the God of Life and Death were twins was hidden. Two halves of one whole. The God of Life never forgot her brother and always visited him. But The God of Death didn't want people to smear the name of the God of Life, so he told her to not visit anymore. Soon the God of Death was all alone and felt that life was meaning less. That is when he heard a payer made to him from a women with bright red hair. She was a human who just gave birth to her child, but due to the schemes of her enemies she was dying. Worried for her child she gave birth to, the women prayed that the god of death to watch over her child. The God of Death visited this women and learned how this person didn't resent him. 

"Why do you want the God of Death that people fear to be the one who watches over your child? Shouldn't you pray to the God of Life instead?" He asked.

The women replied, "Life and death are part of the same cycle. The moment I was born I knew that I would have to die one day. I do not fear death, if it is my time to go them so be it. But I will not abandon my child to this cruel fate. I won't die knowing that my enemies will kill them. The God of Life watches over all life forms and the God of Death watches over the deaths. You have the hardest job because you see all the cruel ways life will die. So I knew that you were watching over my death to. I am thankful that you will be the one to guide my soul to the afterlife. But if you allow this, will you watch over my child and protect them. After all they have just been born, and as a mother I can't die knowing my child's death is approaching."

"I will." The God of Death accepted that dying wish of the women. Never in his life time did the God of Death hear someone thank him for watching their death. The words of this women touched him. He walked over to the child and picked them up. "What will you name this child?" He asks.

"I want you to name my child," The women states.

"Kai Uzumaki. Uzumaki is the last name I bestow upon your clan in promise of watching over your people and guiding them. I the God of Death will always be your protector as long as you accept death as part of your life. Heila Uzumaki I, God of Death, promise you this underneath the oath of the stars that I will watch over you clan," The God of Death states.

"I will be eternally grateful for the kindness you have bestowed upon our Uzumaki clan." Heila says taking her final breath. 

After that the God of Death took Kai Uzumaki to Uzuisho, the land of whirlpools  and raised him there. Till this day the land of Whirlpools are home to the Uzumaki clan because it was the land blessed by the God of Death. Uzuisho will protect this land forever waiting for the return of there people," I state.

"But why would Uzuisho wait for the Uzumaki clan? Isn't Uzushio the home of the Uzumaki Clan?" Utakata asks.

"Uzushio is the land of the Uzumaki's but during the third world war they were targeted by the villages of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure and massacred. Till this day, Uzushio waits for a descendant of the Uzumaki's to return home, because as long as the God of Death watches over the Uzumaki's not all would have died," I explain.  

"I have never heard of this tale," Utakata says.

"That is because most have forgotten," I answer. 

"Kit it is not the time to be talking about history! You have brother and the Uchiha to deal with!" Kurama shouts in my mind.

"I know but I was helping Utakata from his panic attack," I reply.

"Amazing! Now that the boy is better you better get moving!" Kurama scolds.

"Yeah, yeah," I reply and cut the mind link.
