*Naruto Uzumaki & Sasuke Uchiha stand on the respective statues in the Valley of the End.*

* Sasuke: I'm going to cut off my past.
* Naruto: Ggh...
* Naruto: I won't let you do that!
* Naruto: I learned everything from people of the past!
* Naruto: It's because I had my friends that I was able to keep moving forward!
* Naruto: They're what created the me that's here now!
* Naruto: I'm never gonna let you cut that away!

*As what is said above, the screen shows still shots of events from the original Naruto series to the end of Shippūden.*
*The screen fades to black, then shows the shadow of Hagoromo Otsutsuki on the floor, which pans up to an open book with floating Japanese characters that disappear off the pages.*

* Hagoromo: The Book of Transcendence which you composed long ago now lies forgotten and unknown.
* Hagoromo: History must be resurrected.

*The screen pans up to a slightly off-screen Hagoromo, holding his staff with the half-broken side facing up.*

* Hagoromo: Yet to accomplish this, we require a foundation whereupon its path will be retraced.
* Hagoromo: Therefore, we shall weave this foundation together.

*The Book of Transcendence is now fully in-shot. Hagoromo holds the whole end of his staff above the book.*

* Hagoromo: We must once again set to paper the verses of this long-forgotten book.

*Within the Land of Fire lies the Hidden Leaf Village. It was once attacked by the Nine Tails, suffering massive damage and a great loss of life.*

*"However, the village was remarkably restored, ushering in a time of peace."*

*Residing in that village was Naruto Uzumaki, a boy who set his sights on becoming the Hokage, or village head, while spending his days steeped in mischief at the Ninja Academy.*

*Naruto had the Nine Tails sealed inside of his body, and was shunned by the villagers because of it.*

*But among the handful of people who understood him was Iruka Umino, a teacher whose support propelled Naruto to graduate from the Ninja Academy.*

*Now accepted as a ninja, Naruto pressed forward with great enthusiasm down his own path.*

## Prologue

*From here forth, history will be spun again. And so, we must grant him a central role.*

*The circumstances of his birth were cruel.*

*Within the Land of Fire, the being known as the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit descended upon the Hidden Leaf Village and began a violent rampage.*

*The Fourth Hokage, leader of the village, sealed the wild spirit away into the body of Naruto Uzumaki, returning peace to the village for a time.*

*With the spirit of the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed within him as an infant, Naruto endured persecution from the villagers... and yet... he thrived.*

*Time passed, and Naruto grew into a young man with dreams of becoming Hokage himself one day. With his indomitable optimism, he soon found himself surrounded by close friends.*

*Among them was a young man named Sasuke Uchiha of the Uchiha Clan, and Sakura Haruno, a young lady who admired Sasuke.*

*It was these two shinobi who were assigned to Team 7 alongside Naruto after their graduation from the Ninja Academy. Undertaking countless missions together, they became especially close.*

*But before they could embark on such missions, their team captain, Kakashi Hatake, had them carry out an exercise in order to test their abilities.*

* Kakashi: This will be nothing like your previous training.

* Kakashi: It's a test to see what you can actually accomplish as a genin.

*This duo consisted of Zabuza Momochi, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and Haku, a young disciple of Zabuza who possessed considerable powers himself.*

*He also hoped to abduct Sasuke in order to use his superior body as a reincarnation vessel.*

*To defeat Hiruzen, Orochimaru employed the forbidden Reanimation Jutsu to summon the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.*

* His aim was to instigate a fierce battle between Hokage.

* Orochimaru: Interesting fact. There's an odd sense of joy in wounding the one you once called "master."

*In the same way as Naruto, Gaara hosted within his body a one-tailed spirit known as Shukaku.*

*Digging into his final ounce of strength, Naruto caught Gaara flush on the cheek with a full-force blow.*

* Naruto: I know that feeling. I've been there, in that dark and lonely place.

* Gaara: Why...

* Gaara: Why do this for anyone but yourself?

* Naruto: Because they saved me from myself, from my loneliness. They were the first to accept me for who I am.

* Naruto: They're my friends.

* Gaara: Friends...

* Gaara: I see.

* Gaara: So that's where his strength comes from.

*Knowing well the suffering of solitude, Naruto was able to empathize with Gaara's feelings to a painful degree.*

*And yet, Naruto now had important people in his life who accepted him, so he could not overlook Gaara's aggression.*

*Witnessing the power of love firsthand, Gaara cast aside his bloodlust and departed with the aid of the other Sand ninja.*

## Prologue

*In that state, he drifted to an otherworldly place where he came to learn the origin of ninjutsu.*

*When ninjutsu, or rather ninshu, emerged, there were two brothers.*

*The genius elder Indra, and the aloof younger Ashura.*

*Although Indra was an exceptionally skilled practitioner of ninshu, it was Ashura who was chosen as the next leader.*

*Ashura practiced a way of life that valued the bonds between friends. And so, he was recognized as the future of ninshu.*

*Indra, however, was unable to accept that decision and assaulted his brother.*

*Thus began a conflict between brothers that stretched many long years.*

* Indra: With this power, I will establish perfect order! I will forge a perfect world without strife!

* Ashura: There is no place for such violence, elder brother. I do not wish to fight you!

*If power is concentrated in any one person, they will lose control and ultimately be possessed by that power, just as happened with Madara in the current age.*

* Sasuke: Doubts of the past must be cut off and made anew. And I'll start with you...

* Naruto: I won't let you do that!

* Naruto: I learned everything from people of the past!

## Epilogue

*During the course of their exhausting battle and clash of emotions, Naruto and Sasuke both suffered serious injuries.*

*Unable to move, they lay side-by-side on a river bank, where Sasuke finally admitted defeat.*

* Sasuke: I'll decide this issue myself, once and for all.

* Naruto: How can you decide anything by dying?! You might as well live on and help me instead, if you're just gonna do that.

* Naruto: What I want to do is cooperate with all the shinobi!

* Naruto: Including you, of course!

* Sasuke: There's no telling when I may stand up to defy you again in the future...

* Naruto: You won't do this kind of thing anymore.

* Sasuke: How can you be sure of that?

* Naruto: Don't make me repeat myself!

* Naruto: C'mon! You're the one who still doesn't get it!

* Naruto: Now that I think about it... I guess you always have been surprisingly dense!

* Sasuke: Shut up... you loser...

*After that, Naruto and Sasuke dispelled the Infinite Tsukuyomi and safely released the ninja imprisoned within it.*

*Many days passed.*
