Disclaimer: I do not own anything of Naruto. Naruto belongs to rightful creator and owner Masashi Kishimoto. I only own my OC's, and the plot line for this story.
Warning: Some characters might be OOC, but I will be trying my hardest for this not to happen but it might happen. The story also does not follow the normal time line of the manga or the anime. Lastly my grammar and spelling are terrible, but I really am trying my hardest to correct this. Since spelling and grammar were never my strongest subjects.
The story is rated M, just because I want to be careful. Contains very strong language such as swearing, cartoon violence, blood, gore, crude humor, and some suggestive themes. Their might also be dark, depressing and disturbing themes through out the story.
Summary: He died in one world where Naruto was only fictional. Only to be reborn in the Naruto world. His memories of his past life came with him but too bad he only knew parts and pieces of the anime series since he never saw all the episodes nor did he read the entire manga series. All he can do is survive and hope that he doesn't mess up the time line. He was no genius and deffinately no prodigy, if anything he was most likely going to die young. Sheer dumn luck was only get him so far, but will it be good enough to save the world? It seemed to work for Naruto, but would it also work for him?
Please do not leave any swears in any of my reviews, The swearing is not helpful to the writer, and is not nessaury. I already know some reviews will be harsh or critical to the story and that everyone has their own opions but in all honesty the swearing is not appreciated. If you do not like the story, then please leave and move on to something else. This is all I ask.
Anyways please read, review and I hope you will enjoy the story.
Music was playing loudly in the bar called the Black Widow's Grill and Bar. A twenty nine year old man with natural spikey dark brown hair and brown eyes sat the bar drinking a beer. He was wearing a navy blue collar shirt, black jeans and black boots. He was silent as he drank his beer. He was troubled, the events of the earlier day were repeating through his mind.
It was near the end of his shift at the large super store that he worked at. He was a cashier, who was only making minimal wage. When a old man approached him, shoulder length messy white hair and he had the brightest blue eyes he ever seen. The man wore a orange color jacket over a white shirt, blue jeans and black shoes. "Hello sir, can I help you?"
"Have you heard of the anime called Naruto?" He asked him softly.
"It's a popular anime series about ninjas. I think we carry a few dvds back in the electronics section of the store." He answered the old man's question.
The old man seemed to stare at his name tag that read, Liam Sretaw. "Good...now this might be an odd question but have you ever wanted to be a ninja?" He asked him.
"Maybe when I was little." Liam answered.
"Good...Now if you had the chance, who would you want as a blood relative, if you were given a second chance in the Naruto world?" The old man continued to question him.
"Eh? Why do you want to know all these questions sir?" Liam asked feeling a bit creeped out.
"Trying to help my grandson and granddaughter with their fanfiction story." He said looking a bit nervous.
"Oh...well I guess...Kakashi Hatake...as an uncle. I always felt bad that Kakashi didn't have like a blood relative to raise him after his dad died." Liam said.
"I think Kakashi-sensei, would be delighted to have an uncle but tell me what would your name be?" The old man asked him.
"Tatsu Hatake, I guess." Liam said looking still creeped out by the old man's questions.
"Hmmm...Sounds good to me. So would you like to keep your memories of your past life?" The old man questioned.
"Maybe...that way I could not make the same mistakes that I did as a kid." Liam answered. It was true there was many things he wished to do over again.
"Hmmm...That could be a bit troublesome but I guess it would make things easier for ya. Now than if given the choice would you be willing to change Naruto's past so he would be happy as well as others if given the chance?" The old man asked in a serious tone.
"Yeah...I mean Naruto had a horrible childhood. A childhood no child deserves. I would like to see have a happy one with his parents or at least one of them." Liam answered.
"You're a good man Liam, I bet we would have been the best of friends...but I can sense you wouldn't change too much of the past and throw it off course would you?" The old man asked him.
"No...changing to much and I would be left confused on how to go foreward. I know some events must take place." Liam said while wondering to himself how he ended up continuing this conversation.
"Good luck Tatsu-san, you're going to need it. However I have full faith in you and so does Kurama. Believe it, Liam-san. However I hope that you can one day forgive me, for what is about to happen this night." The man said as his eyes flashed to a bright red. Before Liam could say anything or do anything one of his coworkers called his name making him turn away from the old man who had just grinned at him.
"Your shift just ended, Liam." His coworker said calmly.
"Right." Liam said as he turned to face the old man once more only to see that the old man was no where to be found.
"You okay Liam?" His coworker asked in concern seeing how his friend looked so confused.
"Yeah, did you just see an old man here, just seconds ago?" Liam asked.
"What are you talking about? You were standing here all alone...just starring off into space when I approached you. Are you okay Liam, you look like you just seen a ghost or something." His coworker said.
"Y-yeah...It's just been a long day...nothing to worry about." Liam said softly while looking frazzled.
"Okay if your sure...Liam." His coworker said looking unconvinced. Liam sighned off his register, before he turned off his register's light and headed out back to clock out. Instead of heading straight home he headed straight to the Black Widow's Grill and Bar for a strong drink.
And here he was slowly drinking his beer looking troubled as he sat at the bar. The lack of sleep could have been playing tricks on his mind but something was telling him that wasn't the case. "Troublesome." Liam grumbled under his breath only after he finished his beer. He waited at least an hour or two before he decided to head home for the night. He got into his black ford pick up truck. He placed his seat belt on, and started up his vechichle, placed the vechichle into reverse before he backed out of his parking spot before shifting the gear to drive. He than started to drive home.
It began pouring down rain half way home, he was obeying the speed limits. The next thing he knew a large semi truck came out no where without stopping as it slammed into his driver side from the three way intersection. Glass shattered and cracked just as metal cruched as the black pickup truck was sent tumbling and flipping through the air as it rolled down a very steep embankment. Liam might have been wearing his seat belt but he did not survive the crash. The last thing that went through his mind was his family, the old man he encountered right be before his eyes closed as he released his final breath as death claimed him.
In Konoha the Hidden Leaf village a five year old Sakumo Hatake was waiting with his father in the hospital. His mother was in labor with his baby sibling. He hoped he was going to have a baby brother. He was excited about having a sibling. A few hours latter the sound of a baby crying was heard as a nurse brought out his baby brother for them to meet. However Sakumo's mom had died while giving birth to a baby boy. Sakumo stared at his baby brother he had natural bright silvery white hair as the baby cried loudly like most babies however the baby seemed to settle down only to stare up them revealing steel grey color eyes.
The baby stared at them for a few minutes with a look of pure confusion as the eyes blinked a few times. "Sakumo, meet your new baby brother Tatsu Hatate." Their father said smiling. The baby than revealed a horrified exspression and screamed before bursting into tears.
"It's okay, Tatsu-kun. Daddy and I will take care of you. I don't blame you for mommy's death...she was very sick." Sakumo said softly wondering why his baby brother had acted like that. The baby only cried loudly, because he remembered that he was once Liam Sretaw, who had obviously just been reborn into the Naruto world as Sakumo's baby brother who would eventually become Kakashi's uncle. However he swore that if he ever saw the old man again, the one who caused this he would murder him.
"Would you like to hold him, Sakumo? I have to go speak with the med nins." Sakumo's father asked him. Sakumo insteantly smiled as his father placed the crying newborn in Sakumo's arms after showing Sakumo how to hold him.
Outside the hospital window the old man that Liam had encountered sat there watching them through the window while he was eating his cup of insteant ramen.
"You want me too keep an eye on the boy?" A low growl asked making the old man turn to stare at the large white wolf that appeared almost ghostly looking.
"Naturally." The old man said grinning softly.
"Fine...but you owe me, fox-boy. And I do mean big time for this." The wolf said before fading away as though he was never there. The old man smiled warmly as he looked back at Tatsu whose cries turned to soft whimpers. Sakumo was smiling as he held his baby brother who was settling down from his crying fit, while completely obviously to the old man watching them from the window. Mr. Hatake was speaking with med nins about funeral arrangements for his wife.
"It's all up to you now...Tatsu-san. Enjoy your second life." The old man said before fading away with a smile on his face.
