I've always read books, but I have this urge to be in the story. Its really frusterating that I can't be in a book that I enjoy. Well that's what I usually thought in my very boring-ordinary life. But I think that can't explain why I am in the world of Naruto. Oh I think its more helpful if I introduce myself first, won't it? *sighs deeply*
Lets start with the simple stuff first. My name is Kuro Shinigami, age 15, I'm a brunette, my eye color is a pistachio green, I have fair skin and am aggressive when I need to be. Otherwise I'm pretty quiet and wander around like a shadow, not noticed unless I talk to someone (which they forget about me when I finish talking to them). Pretty simplistic, Ya? So much for working for a living. All in all I'm a pretty normal high school student (mind you, I am a girl; remember this). School was normal, life at home was pretty normal. Being a straight A student let me have the opportunity to read manga and watch anime, Naruto being one of them. Ya.
My parents were great people; they were the best parents anyone could have. Everything was the same ordinary perfect thing you could anticipate, but I had a little incident in the library. Yes this all started in the library. I went there to finish my homework; as usual. Ten minutes. It took me ten minutes to finish my homework, no big deal. After finishing my homework I began to search the library out of sheer boredom. That was when I stumbled on it (I literally stumbled on it.) I looked to see that a book was on the ground. The title read: 'Wishes Do Come True'. I tried finding the author but the name of a single person wasn't on it. It didn't seem to have a copyright page either. 'Weird.' I thought as I took it over to the librarian. I asked her why there was no author or copyright in it. She didn't know either but said that I could keep it.
So I took this book home with me and looked through the pages; they all seemed to be blank. I kept on flipping through the pages until I stopped at one page that had a short stanza on it. Looking over the details carefully; I scanned the poem. After a few minutes I began to read it aloud so I could get the jest of it.
It read:
'I see the world,
In different dimensions.
Not knowing how,
Small things change.'
When I finished reading, nothing happened. I kind of felt disappointed, since it did have the title of wishes coming true. Still feeling disappointed I went downstairs to eat something in the kitchen, I grabbed an apple and went back to my room.
I froze right at my room's door. Something wasn't right about my room; I looked at the floor and saw green light seep through the crack under the door. I cautiously opened my bedroom door and stopped.
"Hey someone's coming! Quick hide!" A voice was followed by some rustling and then it was quiet.
I took a deep breath and told myself I was just hearing things. I opened the door quickly and saw a green portal right in the middle of my room. I drag my eyes across my illuminated room. I find the book sprawled on the floor I go over and see if it has been damaged. Relief spread through me to see it wasn't damaged that badly. I felt someone sneak up behind, so I waited for the right moment for sweeping him down. When I felt his breath in the air I began my attack. I quickly turned around and sweeped my legs under him while punching him in his stomach at the same time. I heard an 'oof' when he fell, and the others he came with finally showed themselves. They went to help their fallen friend. I noticed a cloud pattern as I took this opportunity to take the book and jumped into the portal without a second thought.
'The Akatsuki,' I thought as white light surrounded me for what I thought was five minutes. Then I fell unto the ground, face first.
"WHAT THE HELL! LIKE HAVING THE AKATSUKI WASN'T THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAD!" I yelled particularly to no one. I rubbed my nose while I took in my surroundings. I seemed to be in a forest. But I didn't have time to admire the scenery. The Akatsuki will be coming here any second, so I climbed a tree and sat there, and I was right. A few minutes after my arrival, a green spiral appeared and out came three people. A red head; Sasori, a blonde; Deidara, and a blue skinned guy; Kisame.
I held my breath so they wouldn't notice that I was here. I guess reading the Naruto series helps a lot in gathering background knowledge of all the people in the Naruto verse. It's a lot better if it was like this than if you were stuck in a place that you didn't know people at all. I watched quietly as Kisame started talking.
"Where do you think she went?" Kisame asked Deidara.
"How should I know, un?" Deidara shot back.
"Who the fuck cares about her! Man that was one hell of a punch!" Sasori groaned. It really must have been a hard punch because Sasori's face looked so pained that I nearly laughed out loud.
"Well if we can't find her then we better get going back to report to Pein-sama, un." Deidara scrunched his face up due to Sasori's weight. "Sasori, man, you have to lose some weight, un. I feel like I'm supporting a boulder!"
"DEIDARA I'M GONNA KILL YOU WHEN I'M DONE HEALING!" Sasori yelled in Deidara's ear, and Kisame laughed at the remark Deidara gave him. At this point I couldn't keep my laughter in anymore; I burst out and fell to the floor and the book hit me on the head while the apple followed its example afterwards. I was still laughing until Kisame came over and stood over me.
"And what are you laughing at young one?" I broke into another fit of laughter at Kisame's words, then I abruptly stopped and looked at my surroundings; wide-eyed.
'Shoot. I fell out of the tree!' Then I looked at Kisame. "You talking to me mister?"
Kisame looked at me with amusement in his eyes. "Yea I'm talking to you kid."
Sasori glared at me from where he was being supported by Deidara, who looked like he was going to laugh at any second. Something was strange. If I fell out of the tree laughing and had successfully caught their attention, wouldn't they come after me? I looked down at my body and I gasped, I felt my chest so I could be sure. And I was right, my breasts were gone! That could only mean one thing – I'm a guy!
"Hey, kid, you alright?" Kisame asked, breaking me from my train of thoughts.
"Uh – yeah, no worries I lost my surroundings for a few seconds. You see I was reading my book up in that tree and I was about to eat out of my apple when I read a funny part and I laughed and fell off the tree and I thought I was dragged into my books world. But it seems my senses came together. Ya." I made up stories so I could cover up my actions and to erase suspicions that it brought up. But I still had one more to cover up.
"Then what were you laughing at when I came over?" He asked, and looked at me suspiciously.
"Ahh, that one. Ya. You came over and said 'young one'," He still looked confused, so I continued explain. "How old are you mister?"
"23."
"Exactly, if you say 'young one' to a kid that is only 16 or younger than they will think you're 50 or something," I point out his mistake. It took him a while to understand what I said and when he did understand he looked flustered at his mistake. "So how about it if you call me 'young one', which I'll accept on one condition. And that is for me to call you 'Oji-san'."
He thought for a bit and he nodded his agreement, shaking my hand in agreement to the contract.
"In return, I want to know your name kid."
"Shinigame," I smiled, "Kuro Shinigami. And yours?" 'Not like I don't know it already, but for safety's sake.'
"Kisame." Kisame smiled showing his pointy teeth. He looked over to the book I was reading, curiosity in his eyes. I quickly grab the book and my apple and started running when Kisame called out. "Hey kid, have you seen a girl around here?"
I stopped and turned around. "If your talking about a girl around my age then she ran away that way." I shouted my answer so he could hear while I pointed the opposite direction of where I was supposed to run.
"Thanks kid." Kisame shouted his answer back.
"Ya! See ya Onii-san!" I almost burst out laughing when I saw Kisame's baffled face when I called hem onii-san. But before he could say anything, I turned and sped off as fast as I could.
Now that brings me here at the beginning. And now that you've heard how I came to be in the world of Naruto, I shall tell that I've been living outside in forest for at least three days; reading from the book that I got from the library. Sadly I found myself changed permanently into a guy. And I got pretty used to being a guy for quite a bit now. It seems that I changed into a guy when I went through the green portal in my room. That explains how Kisame and co. didn't chase me. Heh. I wonder how they are doing since the last time we met.
I think I fell asleep for about ten minutes, when I heard noises. Voices materialized afterwards.
"The amount of chakra is huge around here!"
"It seems the person is around here somewhere."
"Find them, no matter how long it takes!"
Oh boy, here goes the search for me. I noticed how my chakra flows; it was hard to contain it so I let it flow. The result? These people come after me. It was funny to see that they couldn't seem to find me and they returned to the same spot empty handed.
"I couldn't find anything."
"Me neither, its practically everywhere!"
"No one in the villages seemed to have this much chakra, so who has it?"
'This is the part where I spice things up a bit.' I thought having a sly grin form on my face.
"There is only one way to look then, and that is up."
"Yea, what that guy said, nobody thinks about looking up in the first place. Ya."
"Yeah like that kid said, nobody thinks of look – "He turns around to face me hanging upside down form the tree above them. I snicker at their faces. The other two ninjas were reaching for their kunais'.
"its best not to injure the new here, ya know? Since we met how about telling me what's going on?" I jumped off the branch with my book in hand.
One of the ninjas was still going for his weapon; I gave him a look that made him stop midway.
"Okay," I sighed. "I don't have any weapons, how do you expect me to fight back?"
"You can use your chakra to fight with." One of them suggested, a bit confused at my statement.
"Oh, really?" I looked as confused as possible when I tried to say it. And I got the reaction I wanted, they were confused on what I had said.
"Look here prettyboy – "
"Do I look that pretty?"
"Whatever. If you can't use chakra then how do you survive out here?"
"That – I'll show it to you if you come along." I said it dearly with a smile. The others looked really confused, but they followed me anyway.
A few minutes later we came into a clearing that was hidden from view. Nobody comes through this way, and I finished everything in two days. In the middle was the campfire with spare logs I found lying around. On the right side was a tree house that had a comfortable bed, a living room and the only thing missing was a flat screen TV. On the left side of my campus was a kitchen; I love cooking outdoors and it brings up my mood. The ingredients are in the cupboards and fridge. It took a while to get the fridge working since there was no plug out here but I found a jutsu that did the trick. What; was really funny however was the awestruck faces on the nins. I took this time to figure them out. Hn . . . . I believe this was team eight, the leader Shikamaru, was the one to suggest to ook up. The guy called Kiba was the one who was about to grab his kunai to attack me, his dog; Akamaru, was nowhere to be seen. Weird. And lastly Hinata the one who didn't even talk in the conversation.
I walk over to kiba and touch his shoulder. "Hey dude where's your dog?"
"Ah he's at home si – ." Kiba turns on me and has a really confused face. "How do you know I have a dog?"
This caught Shikamaru's and Hinata's attention. So they came over to investigate.
"If your dog is sick why didn't you say so? Okay I decided, let's go!" I jumped to the treehouse and grabbed the first aid kit, I couldn't let Kiba's dog die like this! It be like Kiba would only be half a person. I met the guys at the campus center. "Okay, I'm ready let's go!"
"Where to?" Shikamaru asked. Typical.
"Where else? To Konoha, so I can heal Kiba's dog – " I stopped in mid-sentence, the others grew suspicious. 'Shoot I let my tongue slip.' I felt a tug at my shirt as I was pulled off my feet. Too Late.
"How do you know my name?" He asked, glaring at me the whole time. I sweat dropped, how could I let things slip.
I thought up a story quickly, "When I was a kid I heard many stories about you, my mom told me the exact image of you, and so when I saw you I doubted that you were Kiba but I looked exactly how my mom described you, so then ya. You're pretty famous around my origins. Ya." I nod in my own words, and felt Kiba put me down. I could tell he was flattered.
"Okay, now we know each other so let's get going!" I start off and then stop, I turn around. "Uhh – you guys, which way is Konoha?"
Sorry about the long paragraphs you guys. And this chapter was a bit bland; if you have any ideas please feel free to share. I'll appreciate any kind of comment. (With open minds and hearts and arms, I cross my heart on this promise).
