**Earth-45** (四十五分の一世界, *Shijūgo-jū Sekai*; Literally meaning "Forty-Fifth World") is a the designation for an alternate reality and, more specifically, the planet Earth within it. In this world, a man named Yoshitsune fell through a rip in the universe of Earth-2 after a great calamity and found himself in this reality. He would go on to consume the chakra fruit and become Ushishiki Ōtsutsuki to ward off threats to the universe, being hailed as a god by the people. He would recreate the tailed beasts from his timeline and his offspring would be the founder of major clans. From here, it appears to be quite similar to that of Earth-1 and Earth-2, though many major differences exist.

## History

A Faller from Earth-2 came into this universe and set into motion many similar events as to what happened in his own universe. Strangely, this universe was much further back than that of his own. This was revealed to him as he awoke at the base of the God Tree and venturing out to find that none of the people had ever heard of Hagoromo or his mother Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

Fearing that Kaguya and her cohorts would arrive soon enough as to collect the chakra fruit, Yoshitusne decided to sacrifice his own humanity and ate the fruit - fearing what he may become even as he took the bite. Quickly, Yoshitsune was enveloped in overwhelming chakra and transformed into Ushishiki Ōtsutsuki for the first time. He would begin spreading chakra to the humans of the era, who in turn leant their chakra to Ushishiki to make him grow in power even more to repel the likes of Kaguya and other Ōtsutsuki who sought to use Earth as an orchard for chakra fruits.

As he did, Ushishiki earned more praise and respect from the humans of Earth, worshipping him as a god. He also had children amongst the people that would eventually become various prominent clans within the shinobi world. Unfortunately, some began to try and emulate Ushishiki and use chakra as a weapon to gain power over others, including the Uchiha and Kaguya clans that formed from his lineage. While Ushishiki attempted to stifle this, it soon became too much for him to prevent. Further, Ushishiki did not want to rule over humanity as a god and sought to allow them to develop into their own after leaving many messages behind to encourage them to seek peace.

Before leaving humanity to their devices, Ushishiki decided to prevent humanity from recreating his own rise to power by using his power to revert the God Tree of his reality back into its Ten-Tails form. After battling with it to weaken it, Ushishiki once again used that same power to separate it into the tailed beasts: Shukaku the One-Tail, Matatabi the Two-Tails, Isobu the Three-Tails, Son Gokū the Four-Tails, Kokuō the Five-Tails, Saiken the Six-Tails, Chōmei the Seven-Tails, Gyūki the Eight-Tails, and Kurama the Nine-Tails. The husk of the Ten-Tails became the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and Ushishiki sealed it away with Chibaku Tensei to create the moon. He would raise the beasts until they were older and stronger to resist humanity before sending out one last message for the beasts and humanity to try and find peace and warned them that if they continue on their path they were heading for calamity. He then ascended to the moon with many of his followers to act as guardians of the planet from foreign invaders.

They are currently sealed in Shiori and Akari respectively.

#### Land of Iron

The **Land of Iron** (鉄の国, *Tetsu no Kuni*) is an icy, snow-covered region. It stands unique to the shinobi-based military nations that compose the Five Great Shinobi Nations, as it uses samurai. The samurai are considered to be fierce warriors and, as such, the Great Shinobi powers never interfere with the samurai nation. It is lead by a **General** (大将, *Taishō*), who has control over both the political and militaristic aspects of the nation. This position is currently held by Dazai Muromachi.

Due to the little involvement the Land of Iron has with the shinobi world, shinobi have frequently used the country as a neutral meeting place for diplomatic discussions with the permission of the General. This most often takes the form of a Kage Summit.

### Minor Locations

#### Land of Frost

The **Land of Frost** (霜の国, *Shimo no Kuni*) is a minor nation and the home of the village of **Shimogakure** (霜隠れの里, *Shimogakure no Sato*; Literally meaning "Village Hidden in Frost").

The **Land of Mountains** (山の国, *Yama no Kuni*) is a minor nation and the home of the village of **Takigakure** (滝隠れの里, *Takigakure no Sato*; Literally meaning "Village Hidden by a Waterfall"). It once possessed the power of Chōmei, the Seven-Tails. However, in an attempt to infiltrate Sunagakure to gather intel, their jinchūriki was captured and they lost the tailed beast. Despite it being their own fault, Takigakure has used the loss of their tailed beast as a means to paint Sunakagure as having stolen it to rally other minor villages behind them. As such, the Five Great Nations fear they may be attempting to form an alliance to rival their power. It is currently led by Sente.

#### Land of Rivers

The **Land of Rivers** (川の国, *Kawa no Kuni*) is a minor nation and the home of the village of **Amegakure** (雨隠れの里, *Amegakure no Sato*; Literally meaning "Village Hidden by Rain").

The village was founded by Orochimaru, a missing-nin from Konohagakure, as a haven for his experiments. However, it was funded by the Land of Sky to develop into a more traditional village.

#### Land of Tea

The **Land of Tea** (茶の国, *Cha no Kuni*) is a minor nation and the home of the village of **Kusagakure** (草隠れの里, *Kusagakure no Sato*; Literally meaning "Village Hidden in the Grass").

## Differences from the Canon *Naruto* universe

* Ushishiki Ōtsutsuki takes the place of both Kaguya and Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. However, it is presumed that two of Ushishiki's children would have been roughly the equivalent of Hagoromo and Hamura Ōtsutsuki in this universe.
* The Kaguya clan never settled in the Land of Water, instead acting as nomadic raiders. As such, the clan is still active. Further, they do not appear to be of Ushishiki Ōtsutsuki's lineage, but could be descended from one of the Ōtsutsuki that joined the more powerful Ushishiki.
	+ Further, the Shikotsumyaku kekkei genkai is not as rare as the canon universe, making the clan much more fearsome as a result.
* In this timeline, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha came to peace earlier, but rogue elements from the Senju clan, led by Tobirama Senju, attempted to attack the Uchiha during the peace agreements. Hashirama helped Madara defend the Uchiha from these defiant Senju, but Madara was fatally wounded defending his younger brother Izuna Uchiha. Hashirama was unable to get to him quickly enough to save him, and Madara told Hashirama to take his eyes and to defend both of their clans as one. This led to Hashirama awakening the Rinnegan, as the chakra of Asura Ōtsutsuki within him reacted to the chakra of Indra Ōtsutsuki within Madara's eyes. The revival of this great power led to Hashirama using it to kill his own brother, with the other living Senju who joined Tobirama surrendering out of fear and being imprisoned for their treason. Hashirama would later die of a chakra virus around the same time he would have died canonically.
	+ As Tobirama was killed for leading the attack, Izuna would instead become the **Second Hokage** (二代目火影, *Nidaime Hokage*; Literally meaning "Second Fire Shadow") in his place in this timeline. His leadership would lead to better relations between the Uchiha and the village, thus preventing the massacre and allowing the clan to live on in this universe.
	+ The cycle of reincarnation between Indra and Asura ended with Madara and Hashirama in this timeline due to Madara's action of giving his eyes to Hashirama prior death, fully trusting the man to protect both of their clans.
* The Senju and Uzumaki clans do not appear to have split in this timeline and remained as the singular Senju clan. As such, Uzushiogakure never existed in this timeline. Red hair still appears within the Senju clan and is said to be a sign that the Senju would make for a perfect jinchūriki.
* Many of the leadership positions are different.
	+ Ōnoki dies earlier in this timeline, with Gitsuchi replacing him as the Tsuchikage instead of Kurotsuchi due to his rare power.
	+ Samiya becomes the Kazekage after Rasa was murdered by Zenjō Kaguya (instead of Orochimaru like in the canon). She takes the place of Gaara.
	+ Hayai takes the place of A as the Raikage. She also takes on traits similar to Darui, the canonical Raikage after the fourth A.
	+ Shogetsu Hōzuki takes the place of Mei Terumī as the Mizukage. Her rise to power would be insignificant as the Kirigakure of Earth-45 did not have the same type of persecution against Kekkei Genkai users.
	+ Nishibi Hyūga would succeed Minato Namikaze. He would ironically still die by an attack from a tailed beast, though it would be Isobu in this reality.
	+ Dazai Muromachi takes the place of Mifune, who is his uncle in this timeline and retired from military life earlier. However, it is unclear if Mifune is part of the Muromachi family.

## Trivia

* Earth-45 is the hub-reality of Emperor Kamui's fan fiction creations.
	+ The number designation of this reality references the author's original internet username on MMORPG *Runescape*, which was a site generated variant ending in 45.
