[ Flashback - Morning ]
Minato had just finished dealing with the council when Tsunade called him back to the hospital to inform him about his children's condition.
"Tsunade how is Natsuki. She didn't suffer any repercussions from using the Kyuubi's chakra did she?"
His mind had been on Natsuki all morning due to having to check the seal, thinking about her going into a three-tailed state, and later having to talk to the village and council about her so he was immediately concerned about her well-being.
Tsunade just raised and eyebrow but answered him nonetheless, "Natsuki is fine. She is suffering from chakra exhaustion and torn muscles from overexerting herself in her kyuubified state, but otherwise she's fine. Though she should probably spend the night in the hospital just to be on the safe side."
Minato let out a sigh of relief. He was worried that if too much of the Kyuubi's chakra got into her chakra coils at one time, then it would start eating away at her chakra network. He was glad that wasn't the case.
Tsunade raised the clipboard that she had in her hand up so that she could read it.
"Naruto on the other hand..." Minato's face instantly paled as he remembered the state that his son was in and cursed himself for forgetting how serious his wounds looked. "Naruto's situation is far worse than it looked. The operation was a success and we managed to stabilize him, but not all of his wounds could be solved with medical ninjutsu alone. The entire right half from trapezius to mid abdomen was almost completely cleaved through. We managed to repair all of his organs, internal damage, and even close the wound. He'll need immense physical therapy before he's even able to use his right side again, unless some kind of miracle happens."
"Next up those 'burns' he received. When Natsuki grabbed his right hand and right calf the Kyuubi's chakra immediately started devouring his flesh. Had you not gotten him here when you did it would have started invading and eating through his chakra network. There was nothing we could do about these specific wounds besides extracting the demonic chakra from them. It's likely that the skin on his right hand till about an inch above his wrist will never fully heal. The wound had pretty much already cauterized itself before you got him here. The same could be said about the burn on his calf, the only difference is that it is in the shape of a claw mark."
"His final wound was the slash to his eye. This wound was specifically difficult to operate on. One of Natsuki's claws slashed straight through his eyeball. Normally we would have been able to repair something like that, but with the amount of Kyuubi chakra eating away at it we needed to remove it all together in order to repair his nerves."
Minato was speechless at the amount of damage that was done to his son's body. He gulped, "Will...will he be able to recover? Is...is he awake yet?"
"Theoretically he should be able to make a full recovery when he wakes up, but there lies the problem. He's in a coma. We don't know when he will wake up, or even if he will wake up."
A look of shock was evident on Minato's face. He didn't even ponder the possibility that Tsunade wouldn't be able to solve all of the young Hokage's prolems and that they wouldn't walk out of the hospital one big happy family, or at least in Minato's mind.
Little did he know what was going on in Naruto's mind as they spoke.
[ Flashback End ]
[ Naruto's Mindscape ]
'What the hell is going on?'
The last thing that Naruto remembered was being operated on in the hospital, losing consciousness, and then flames. An enormous amount of flames then feeling dizzy and waking up in this war ridden wasteland in a body that wasn't his own.
It felt like he was seeing everything from the perspective of another person. He would do everything that that person did, it would feel as if it were himself talking as this person spoke. He could even hear this person's thoughts.
From what he could gather he was in a different time period within his own mind. A time long before the formation of the hidden villages, or even before the time of the era of warring states.
This was long before then. This was an era when only three people could wield chakra. The first was this man's mother, Otsutsuki Kaguya. The second was his brother Otsutsuki Hagoromo and the third was his other brother, Otsutsuki Hamura.
The man's body that he was trapped in was known as Otsutsuki Ace and was the only one of Kaguya's sons born without the body to wield chakra.
From what Naruto could understand from the thoughts of Ace and the conversations he had, Kaguya was the progenitor of chakra. The gained this ability by eating a strange fruit that she had picked from the Shinju tree.
Naruto found it strange that a fruit was the cause of chakra that every person possessed in his time, but quickly became used to the idea as he had seen stranger things happen.
It was the that Ace got up and looked in the mirror.
What Naruto saw surprised him greatly. Ace's reflection looked like an older version of his own. The first thing that Naruto's noticed were freckles in the same area as Naruto's, on his cheeks in small clumps just under his eyes. Naruto had alway found them childish. It was odd, nobody in his family had freckles and yet somehow he had to have inherited them from somewhere.
The next thing he noticed were his eyes. They were they were the same shade of cold gray. This wasn't too surprising as it wasn't exactly a rare color. But it was odd, Ace's mother had the byakugan and the rinnegan, so did his brother. While his other brother had the rinnegan. Even if Ace didn't possess chakra he should have at least inherited an inactive byakugan or something.
Then he saw his hair. Ace had naturally parted pitch black hair that framed his face and refused to cover his forehead. It was course and wave and fell down to the bottom of his neck in the back. It was reminiscent of Naruto's own hairstyle when he didn't purposely spike it up into his father's hairstyle.
Naruto's face was more angular though, similar to his father.
Ace wore knee-length black shorts with an orange eyelet-studded belt, and a button up pale yellow shirt. He also wore an orange cowboy hat with two smileys a smiling and a frowning face that were connected by red beads Two long side strps came down from his hat and met at a medallion of a bulls skull on his chest. He wore a red beaded necklace around his neck.
