@Everyone- finally getting back to you! First I'll be addressing each of your comments to me individually, and then I'll address any other miscellaneous comments that refer to anything in general.

@Gemnist: That's fine for your own project. As you've made it apparent many times, you are obviously changing up some things, such as the Otsutsuki and NH. However, for the sake of this story, I'm not changing anything that was canon that appeared in either the manga or film, so that's why I wouldn't change anything regarding Kaguaya and her origins.

Yep- the Otsutsuki are from a different dimension. Pretty stupid, huh! xD You're absolutely right- it doesn't fit in the story that Kishimoto constructed, so I don't know why the hell he did that. However, it was never stated to be the truth in the manga/movie- only in the databook. So even though it is 100% confirmed that they are in fact aliens, I am making a conscious to forget about that until it's addressed in the actual story. Even them being moon people makes more sense (though I don't like that either- I much prefer the idea that they were all human and became godly after consuming the chakra fruit). BTW, how are you going to make them come from the moon? The moon wasn't created until after Kaguya was defeated by her children.

That is exactly how Kaguya's character started out in my story. She initially wanted to use her power to bring about world peace- similar to Madara, Nagato, Yahiko, Hagoromo, Naruto, and many other characters. But the beauty of this tragedy is that a person who was once so pure and had good intentions was corrupted by the very power that made her admired in the first place. So as you can see, our interpretations are similar for the most part, with only a few minor details being different.

F*ck... I completely forgot think about how the Byakugan/Hyugan Clan would progress on earth if Hamura and the Otsutsuki were on the moon. I'd need more time to come up with a decent explanation. Off the top of my head, I suppose I would say that Hamura left a son on earth so that he could continue the Otsutsuki lineage alongside his cousins, and this would result in the creation of the Hyuga. But anyways, thanks for clarifying your statement- it make more sense now.

That sounds like a good plan. Now that I think about it, it's probably a better idea not to reveal Kaguya immediately. Though it would probably be beneficial to mention Hagoromo and maybe even the Ten-Tails, as that would explain where all the Tailed Beasts came from.

@Eric- thanks for your compliment! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I was considering introducing Black Zetsu earlier and having him manipulate Kaguya into turning evil, but then I remembered that Black Zetsu mentioned he was created the moment of Kaguya's sealing, and so I didn't want to contradict the original manga by introducing him before his time.

Exploring Kaguya's family was another idea I was toying around with, but I ultimately decided not to explore much upon it more than I already did in order to prevent it from not being so long. As far as her mother giving Kaguya the idea that the world is her nursery, I think that was a conclusion Kaguya came to herself after gaining so much power; however, as I mentioned, Kaguya was originally a woman who wanted peace, and so her mother would have been a good way to explain why Kaguya was so peaceful as opposed to her father and fellow clansmen.

I'm glad you like the whole Kazuki thing- I did a lot of research searching for the perfect name, and that's what I finally picked. Again, this is a basic summary/outline for a story that "could have been, but will never be." For that reason, I couldn't go into much detail about how the other members would have come to accept Kaguya. However, in my mind, I did imagine a scene of initiation or trials in which Kaguya would have to go through in order to earn their trust. However, it's just something that couldn't be expanded upon in full detail.

Regarding how everyone knew about the fruit, it was basically because everyone knew about it. After all, everyone worshiped the tree as a god and so they were already aware of the fruit. However, they were forbidden of eating it in fear that it may lead to one person gaining too much power.

I would have liked to add moments of dialogue in many scenes of the story, but once again, it's not something that could have been fit into a basic outline. I have considered making it a long project to write a script for this story in which I would outline it into a series by breaking it down into chapters with dialogue. However, this would probably take a long time to complete, and so you wouldn't see it any time soon. I'm still debating if I should write it or not- do you think I should?

That cubs story is... interesting! xD Something like that would have worked for the original purpose of the IT, however once it was revealed that the true purpose of the IT was so that Kaguya could absorb their chakra and make people into soldiers, that idea doesn't apply to it very well. What about the Ten-Tails is disappointing for you? Also, do you have any commentary for the rest of the sections?

@Uzu: Thanks so much for your compliments!!! I consider myself not very creative, so this is one of the few times where I'm going to give myself props and a pat on the back, cause even I'm very proud of this.

I'd say the biggest misstep of Kishi is not expanding upon the origins of Kaguya and the Otsutsuki Clan- given that they were such an important element towards the end of the story, it doesn't make any sense why he would not expand upon their history. That was the entire purpose of this story- had Kishi done it himself, there would've been no need for this. Likewise, I also hope the anime expands upon this even though it wasn't in the manga. After all, maybe Kishi can work with Studio Pierrot and give them a good idea of what to do in the anime. I'm actually half tempted to send this story to Kishimoto (even though he most likely wouldn't read it)- do you think I should?

As far as my thoughts on your story- here I go!

First of all, I must say that I'm not a big fan of Kaguya being an alien (even though according to the 4th databook, that's exactly what she is). It just doesn't fit well with the world of Naruto. But still, it is a bit more accurate than my story. But still, I digress. Everything else is very interesting, and I like the idea of Kaguya running away to earth and being warned not to consume the fruit.

The tree possessing control over Kaguya is very intriguing and it was another element that I was considering to add into my story instead, but I ultimately decided to go another route by having the tree consume her as an act of "revenge."

Everything else is pretty similar to my story, with a few miscellaneous stories. Ultimately, I like your story as much as I do mine! Mostly because I had thought of this idea before in my head as well, and so as I was reading your post, I could clearly envision it in my head. So in conclusion, it was a very enjoyable read and I thank you for posting your own version of the story! :D

As far as the discussion about reincarnation goes, I don't really have anything else to add. Uzu did a good job of summarizing my key beliefs about how it works in the world established in Naruto, so I don't feel the need to elaborate any more (that, and the fact that I've done so much reading and writing over the past hour to the point where I need to go do something else).

And as far as if Kaguya's army will be explained- no, I don't think it will be. As Kishi said in an interview, he decided to skip over all of this and move onto the end instead of elaborating on Kaguya... kind of a sh*tty thing to do, especially with her being the "final villain."
