Naruto and Iruka have just arrived in front of the Hokage, with our protagonist still holding the crown on his head, making the 2 older men in the room feel uncomfortable, because the crown gives them a bad vibe, especially that it is being worn by his favorite blonde.
- Naruto-kun, why don't you take off the crown? - The one who spoke first was the Hokage.
Naruto just tilted his head in confusion, making the two men feel uncomfortable. That simple gesture made them feel a chill, even more so because of the young man's almost indifferent face. When he was finally about to say a word, they felt their hearts race - Do I still have it on? - That question made the two men sigh, it was still... no, they no longer felt the same, but it still maintained that nobility and innocence that it had.
- Yes Naruto-kun, yes please can you return it -
- Of course Jiji, I hadn't realized that I was still wearing it, with everything that had happened, I thought I had dropped it - thus taking off the crown, and putting it in the Hokage's hand, causing him to fall to the floor tiredly, and the crown moving quickly to be back on the head of its new owner.
Iruka and Naruto were very surprised, but that did not stop them from quickly helping the Hokage, helping him get up and stabilize - Naruto-kun, what was that? - As soon as he touched the crown he felt all his strength being absorbed, he could even swear that he saw the Shinigami coming for his soul.
- I don't have the slightest idea Jiji, I didn't do anything to the crown - Naruto would speak worried about what happened to his grandfather - But I think I know, who knows what happened -
- ¿Who Naruto? - This time the one who spoke was Iruka.
- My new tenant... speaking of which, Jiji, you and I, we have to have a very important talk about not hiding secrets about myself - to finish talking and close my eyes entering your mental space.
Iruka and the Hokage were worried about the new tenant, even more so the Hokage, because now the boy knows about the Kyubi.
_:_:_:_ Mental space _:_:_:_
Already inside his mind, Naruto began to search everywhere for the presence of his Twin? Clone? Lovecraftian entity?... What is a Lovecraftian entity? and why did you think about that? Shaking his head to get out of his trance, he began to search, only finding the cell of the Kyubi, who was asleep, or so he thought, until he opened one of his eyes.
Rising in all its presence, it was large, almost as large as the Hokage Mountain, maybe a little more, but that didn't take away from how imposing and powerful it was.
The place remained in a deep silence, the Kyubi was just looking at him, observing what he would do or how he would react, so taking the opportunity he asked the question - Where is my other self? –
- I have no idea -
Such a simple but direct answer was something that Naruto liked, no unnecessary or complicated verbiage just to feel superior, so he gave his answer in the same way - Ok - after that, he remained in a deep silence, where neither of the two said anything, they just stared into each other's eyes, without real feelings or intentions behind the look.
- Was that all? –
- Yes –
- Why are you still here? –
- I hope that, if I wait long enough, he will appear –
- It's not a very smart idea –
- Maybe, but I don't have anything better to do, what about you? –
Thus they returned to silence again, until it was broken by Naruto.
- What are you? – The kyubi raised an eyebrow at the human's question – everyone calls you a demon... but you don't seem like a demon to me –
- So? So what do I look like to you? –
- A giant fox –
That was such a stupid answer, but at the same time witty, that even the Kyubi had to let out a short laugh, no doubt his new warden was someone interesting.
- I hope you're having a good time - and that's where the Kyubi's fun ended, because the other one appeared again, so he could only growl at him, he still didn't like his presence in the slightest.
- Just the "person" I wanted to see –
- I know what you want - was the first thing that came out of the other "Naruto" - and yes, I'm going to explain to you what happened - the real one, just nodded in grateful silence - the reason why the crown did that "damage" to the person you call jiji, is because he was not its owner, that is, you -
- Since when am I its owner? –
- After placing the crown on you, not dying and having me appear here –
- WAIT A MINUTE I COULD HAVE DIED!!! –
- Yes, the truth is it is a total surprise that you could put on the crown and survive, no one in this dimension could in a normal situation, not even a jinchuriki -
- I'm going to ask you the same question that the brat asked me: What are you? –
- The kyubi is right, you appeared after putting the crown on me, so a better question would be: What was that crown? –
- How do you know it wasn't there before? –
- For 2 simple reasons, 1) Mizuki didn't mention anything about you when he told me why the villagers hate him and 2) The kyubi doesn't recognize you. Let's say that I don't know you because I didn't know about the existence of Kyu inside me, but he should know who you are, if you've already been inside here for a long time -
- Don't call me Kyu human –
- Why not? It sounds nice... I know, you want a name... well, I've never named a pet, so... let's go with Fido - the Kyubi gave a roar that made the entire "area" where they were shaking - Don't you like it? How about…Rocky? –
- Don't give me a human name, I already have one -
- Really?... Are you sure you don't like Rocky? How about Scooby? – the same angry roar sounded again – Ok, I understood, no names… for now – when he finished speaking he had to jump back, to avoid being impaled by the Kyubi's claw.
- Let me come out human and I'll show you who a damn pet is -
- Come on, flea, I'm going to teach you because your name will be, Howard Phillips Lovecraft -
-Who the hell is Howard Phillips Lovecraft? –
- I don't know, but now that's your name or do you prefer Rocky -
- I'm surrounded by idiots - this time the one who spoke was the other "Naruto".
-YOU SHUT UP!! – A joint shout from the Kyubi and our protagonist.
- But first answer me, what the hell happened to Jiji -
- I already told you -
- No, you said that I was the owner of the crown, but not why I fell weakened -
- You are smarter than I give you credit for, it is one of the crown's security measures, since you handed over the crown voluntarily, she defended herself by weakening the person without actually killing him -
- Can the crown kill? –
- Not immediately, it depends more on your emotions and the person who takes it from you, for example, if a friend does it, the same thing will happen as with your Hokage, however if an enemy does it, he will die immediately -
- Because? How do you do that? What are you? What is that crown? –
- I am who I am…-
- Stop the tongue twisters and mystical phrases, I want the truth and I want it now –
- Are you sure you are ready for the truth? –
- Yes, I'm tired of not being told the truth -
- Well, I am death, And I do not speak metaphorically, nor rhetorically, nor poetically nor theoretically, nor in any other elegant way. I am Death, without a mask –
Both Kyubi and Naruto stared directly at the other "Naruto", analyzing his words... until our favorite blonde elaborated the answer in such an eloquent way that even the most cultured people would prostrate themselves before him.
- What the fuck? –
_:_:_:_ Time Skip _:_:_:_
Half an hour had already passed since Naruto "fainted", the Hokage and the academy instructor were still worried about their favorite blonde.
They let out the sigh that they didn't know they had in their mouths, seeing that he opened his eyes a little disoriented, but "fine" in theory.
- Naruto-kun How do you feel? –
- Like shit Jiji, I just found out a lot of things... more than I would like -
-What did you find out about Naruto? – This time the one who spoke was Iruka.
- I don't think I can count them... I haven't even finished assimilating them myself -
- It doesn't matter Naruto, tell us, we may help you cope with the situation -
He kept thinking about Iruka's offer and had to accept that he really needed someone's guidance with these issues - *Sigh* Well... it is, somewhat complicated - he said it while frowning - but to summarize it in a better way, I am the new king of death and its very incarnation, I am committed to the person who personifies life... and yes, I am going to begin to obtain powers and abilities that will make me in every way an absolute god, or as he called it, a true primordial or absolute conceptual being -
The Hokage like Iruka, they remained silent, not knowing how to respond to what Naruto said, they had too many questions, too many doubts and neither of them knew what to say about this unusual situation in which their favorite blonde found himself.
- Naruto-kun, please explain everything again, but this time slower –
- Ok, not to prolong the topic, the crown I wore was not normal -
- Underestimation of the year Naruto-kun –
- I know, but to summarize it, the crown was the physical representation of the concept of death, or well, its way of materializing in this world -
- That? –
- I didn't fully understand it either, Iruka-sensei, but it turns out that we are smaller than we think, in existence there are beings that go beyond our own understanding, such as the Shinigami, which in reality is nothing more than an avatar of the god of death of this world -
Hiruzen and Iruka stood in silence watching Naruto without any words to say, just an awkward silence because of what he was saying.
- But that's not all, it turns out that in existence there are 4 official ranks of divinity, God, true God, Primordial and true Primordial, but extra officially there is a fifth rank, conceptual, beings that are the absolute representation of a concept, for example death, no being has true control over death, only a finite part of it, because of that, those concepts obtained consciousness, but not physical form, so they were transferred to objects, such as these crowns -
- Do you want to tell me that that crown is the concept of death incarnated? –
- No, it is an intermediary, which helps to use the concept, but it is not the concept itself, but by using the crown as a transmitter the concept can choose a host –
- That somehow ended up being you –
- Exactly, now I am absolute death in all its forms, I am the one who absolutely rules over death, I am it's king and its ruler -

It was already a new day in Konoha, the newly named Gennin were meeting in their "old" classroom, for the distribution of equipment, almost everyone was excited to start this new stage in their lives, they were so happy and distracted that they never noticed 2 genin who were sleeping at the same table.
Until the heir of the Inuzuka clan arrived, Kiba Inuzuka, along with his dog and trusted companion Akamaru, stood frozen at the door, because something in their survival instincts warned them of an imminent danger, that they were going to die and were being killed right now.
This feeling was not perceived by the other classmates, because he was the only one who had animal instinct due to his upbringing, thanks to that, he could feel the aura of death that surrounded the entire classroom.
Until he was kicked away, which forced him to come out of his trance - Don't worry, Sayuri-sama is going to pass - the person who kicked Kiba was Sakura Haruno, a civilian who entered the ninja academy, where she became a fangirl of Sayuri Uchiha, reaching the point of veneration.
Since she belongs to the group of the leaf princesses, made up of Sayuri Uchiha herself, one of the survivors of the Uchiha massacre, Ino Yamanaka, a prodigy with the techniques of her clan, and Hinata Hyuga, the heiress of the Hyuga clan, each one had a very different personality from the other.
With Sayuri being more of a distant person and a bit short with people, rarely interacting with other people, beyond her "slave" and her mother. Where he preferred to train and become stronger to avenge his clan.
Hinata Hyuga was someone who was despotic and conceited, due to her upbringing and self-confidence, she had a personality where she believed that everything she wanted she could have, regardless of the means by which she obtained it.
Lastly, Ino Yamanaka, the prodigy of the Yamanaka clan, unlike her classmates, was more sociable and outgoing, socializing with her other classmates, being friendly with everyone.
They were the strongest Gennin of the current era of Konoha, where they had many expectations for the 3 of them, hoping that they would form an invincible team leading to the birth of a new trio of Sannin.
Why is this information important? Because the 3 girls were staunch rivals, who only had one desire in mind, to surpass the other 2, so when the 3 were in a room, alone without adult supervision, the atmosphere became tense, due to the aura that the 3 women gave off.
Something that made almost all the men in the room tremble, except for 2 who were still sleeping, but there was always something that disturbed the tense silence of the room, along with its aura of death, and it was the scream of an angry Kiba, for having been kicked.
Which caused a chain reaction, where as if they were possessed, everyone began to scream, while the 3 girls began to expel their chakra in a demonstration of power and superiority over the other 2, ignoring how all these events disturb the dreams of 2 people, these being Shikamaru Nara, who opened his eyes, to say his typical problem.
But his resting partner had a different reaction, because the night before he stayed awake, explaining his new situation to his sensei and Hokage, and after finishing explaining it, they made him go to the hospital for tests.
So he was not in a good mood today, plus all the events of last night made him wake up in an even worse mood, expelling part of his power to silence all those who interfere with his silence.
What exactly caused the desire of the bearer of power, the classroom became so silent that if a pin or a pen fell to the floor, its noise would be such that it would ruin the silence of the room.
After raising his gaze, which made the weakest tremble and even almost kill most of them, and seeing them so frightened by his aura, he decided to calm down and stop expelling it.
To raise your right hand with the sign of peace – Good morning –
- Problematic –

Why is that? The truth is many things, and I am going to say them.
I was left without a laptop to work on. I was stuck in Toonopolis, and I had no ideas of how to continue it, but since I didn't want to leave them without a chapter, I decided to write my other stories instead.
