The Whirlpool's New King

People say many things, some good, some bad. People deny many truths, and believe many lies. People, are ruled by their ignorance. Why would someone face the truth if believing the lie is so much easier? Why make life harder than it has to be? Why not let the fake shade of deceit shield you from the harsh light of reality? Why resist the tempting pull of ignorance.

Ignorance is easy.
Ignorance is comfortable.
Ignorance lets you sleep soundly at night.
Ignorance is... bliss.

Right?

So many people, fall into the iron grasp of ignorance. So many, fall prey to its melodious song. It is only those few who refuse to wear the mask of ignorance, and instead stare through the veil of reality. It is only those few, who see the world as it really is.

Kill or be killed.
Control or be controlled.
Rule or be ruled.

Be strong, or be weak.

Naruto almost fell into this trap, almost fell prey to the warm embrace of ignorance. He was so close to shutting the blinds on reality, to letting the truth of the world elude him.

All it took was one little book, with one little word.

Uzumaki

With his eyes opened, and his ignorance discarded. Naruto faces the reality of his world. With the knowledge of his past and the people in it, his current dream seems... revolting.

So Naruto sets out on a new quest, with a new goal. One that will bring him wealth and bloodshed, one that will make him famous and infamous. He will become the man that shakes the world to its core, the man that kills armies and brings nations to their knees, the man who looked death in the eye and said no.

Naruto Uzumaki, The Uzukage of Uzushiogakure.
