Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I own nothing , this is purely a fanfic for enjoyment. Cross-over from various games , books, anime, manga, and movies. The familiar characters you see here belongs to their respected authors and owners.
Zed's POV:
Being reborn sucks, especially if you found out that you are in an Alternate Naruto universe
I was or my name was Zed, 17 year normal old boy. I was a big fan of Naruto.
If you ask me if I wanted to cast deadly super jutsu then you would be wrong.
I was fascinated in the art of medical ninjutsu, it's one technique cure all really, the fabled 'Mystic Palm' technique.
I studied the human anatomy closely as I wanted to be a doctor. I would always practice the 4 ninja techniques that I memorized them by heart.
It was just the basic academy 3 and the mystical palm technique. Nothing strenuous, not going for calling lightning and energy blasts on my foes. Really it was supposed to be just that, a weird hobby, never had I thought that these 4 techniques will save my life or was it my next life.
Anyway, I died on a car crash, crazy drunk drivers. I really wasn't expecting being thrown out of a womb with your intellect and sanity intact, that was a really really awful experience.
Anyways let's skip the baby stage and now skip to my age of 3.
My name now is Recca, hmm if I remembered, there was a manga that has the same leading protagonist name.
Anywho I found out that I was born into a civilian family, we were nomads who liked travelling alot. I was shocked when we met ninja from many different nations. Which means I'm screwed as ninja's always have a say in things and civilians die so easily.
I went into a state of paranoia that it unlocked my small stores of chakra. At least somethin good came out of it.
I practiced the leaf floating exercise for my chakra control, feeling that energy was weird. Since I can't really use tree walking and water walking, I was forced to take a page from Suna and took chakra string lessons.
It was really hard, but I persevered, I can now used my chakra strings up to 25 meters. My chakra reserves were at high genin level. Not bad for a five year old.
Our travels seem less and less now as there seems to be a war going on.
I found out that the land of whirlpool has still it's hidden village intact. Tree walking and water walking had never seen the light of day and I also found out that the basic academy 3 that I mastered secretly has never been created and distributed. Wow this world is messed up.
Although Konoha has been created, the Uchiha's ruled with an Iron fist and I bet that the healing jutsu Hirashima Senju supposedly have, never really got out of Konoha walls which means it's still considered a bloodline limit.
I was now 8 years old, I have mastered my 4 jutsu that I practiced as a hobby and my chakra string has never been powerful. Yeah, my chakra string can control people now.
A stray shinobi team wanted to have some fun at our caravan. Being severely outnumbered, I had no choice but to run. The ninja's did not really need a kid, so I was able to get away.
What will I do now really?, enemies in all side and I'm not arrogant enough to believe that I can survive on my own. So that means that joining a village would be prudent.
I chose to head to the land of whirlpool, they seem to be accepting immigrants easily enough and I mastered tree walking and water walking along the way. It was actually pretty easy because chakra strings were triple of its difficulty.
I found a caravan headed to Uzu, I was lucky enough to be allowed and was also very lucky that a team of ninja was escorting this caravan.
We were almost near the border of Uzu, but 10 ninja's came to hunt our group.
Our Ninja guarding us was composed of a Jounin, two chunnin and a high genin.
The group was able to fluidly act as a team. They were severely exhausted and there were still two enemy jounin. The two chuunin from Uzu fainted and the odds weren't in our favor.
I decided to take action and extended my chakra strings to the two fainted Uzu chuunin. I controlled them properly with finess and years of experience playing video games helped. They were able to give the opening needed for the Uzu jounin to defeat the two enemy jounin ninja.
They were still puzzled by my magic trick, but it did save them. The rest of the trip came quietly.
I filed some papers and viola, I'm now a citizen of Uzu. My study in medicine did not abandon me as I was able to gather rare medical herbs in my backpack.
I quickly turned them into balms and ointments. I decided to open my small clinic. I didn't really realize that they were in very high demand as ninja's often came to my clinic.
I expanded my clinic to accommodate more people as my name was now somewhat famous.
Karma is sure a bitch. My exaggerated healing clinic reached a high official in the Ninja branch and brought to me a heavily wounded boy, really?, my clinic is not a hospital.
Looking at the boy, I was forced to choose, let him die or save him. Dammit, I was only supposed to be a minor therapeutic doctor to heal minor wounds. What they are asking is a miracle. Still I could not turn my back on that poor boy and asked the concerned parties to leave me and the patient alone. I quickly cast my diagnostic jutsu and activated the Mystic Palm technique and sedated the boy and healed those major wounds.
My superb chakra control and my ingenious use of my chakra string saved the boys life after half an hour of surgery.
The parent of the child gave me the eyes asking if his son survived the ordeal. I showed him his son and was surprised he was healed. After a full day of recovery, he was fit as a fiddle which was a miracle. I asked the parent to give his kid healthy food.
Ninja's and their hate of hospital. I seem to have attracted a serious case of the consequence of my action. So I prepared, I closed down my hospital and live an obscure life. Yes, that is a good plan. I closed down my clinic and paid an apartment in the ninja district. Yes, no-one would expect me there.
A quick henge and tadah, escape plan get-away is a go.
The next day at my new apartment, rumors reached even there about the eccentric miracle doctor missing.
Yes, my plan worked, mwahahahaha, I just add some cosmetics I made myself and viola, Recca is now Tobi, yes my precious, they will not find me.
I applied a job at a seal shop, It only required chakra so I was able to get the job. Fuinjutsu books were just lying like common books there so I took advantage of it and studied the art. The shop only sells explosive tags and very large storage scrolls, how bulky.
After a year of studying, I am now an adept seal master. I reinvented the small storage scrolls, the barrier seals, and my very own accomplishment, the Kagebunshin seal, just pour the amount of chakra you have to the seal and store some more until it's filled. I made the seal to be able to hold ten Kagebunshin worth of chakra. I also invented the henge seal since they have not invented the technique.
I decided that my shop apprentice in seals was good enough and I asked the owner if he would be mad if I opened my own seal shop. He just laughed and welcomed the challenge. Very few continued that art and very few stores supply the seals.
I bought a small building in the Ninja district and opened my small seal shop. I didn't really sell explosive tags as I didn't want to run-out my former boss's business.
As expected, it became a hit, I was rolling in money. My stock was all sold as if it was ran by a rabbid typhoon. I decided to open once a week as my seal creation stock is ever so low.
I decided to use my Kagebunshin seal to speed up the process, it really was a godsend.
I was now age 15, an accomplished seal master. I have successfully created a mystical palm seal, I hoarded them as my prize possession and stored 10000 of those seals in my storage seal tattoo'd on my skin. I can now also use blood as ink for the seals, since I have my healing technique, blood loss doesn't come easily to me.
Good things must come to a close, with Uzu's new supply in their seals, jobs from various Daimyo centered on Uzu and Konoha didn't like it one bit and declared war on Uzu. The forces of Uzu were small but they were skilled. Konoha had numbers on their side.
Fearing for my life, I opened up my seal store and unveiled my medical healing seal. There was a limit of 20 per ninja that I sold to and I also sold it cheap showing my patriotism to Uzu.
With Uzu now armed to the bone, their forces was able to head toe to toe with Konoha.
Casualties were high on both side, but Uzu won and a treaty between Uzu and Konoha was made.
I was now age 16, I have delved into the art of sealing a Biju safely and also studied space time seals along with my other recreated seal, such as gravity and paralyze seal and energy absorption seal.
Fate reared its ugly head again as all the other major villages decided to invade Uzu and worst of all Konoha defected.
Good thing I stored my things on me the whole time and changed my currency into gold and silver. Yeah, I'm just that paranoid, I headed to my basement and completed my dimension space time seal.
I managed to escape just in time to avoid Uzu's destruction.
I woke up in a hospital, not just a regular hospital, an advanced hospital. I should be happy, maybe this world is normal.
My hope dashed away when an old man introduced himself as Kusanagi Ichirou. Yeah, I recognize that name from an anime and novel called campione.
How unlucky, I thanked the man sincerely and I was about to leave.
Ichirou stopped me and talked about my paperwork which was non-existant. I told him I was an illegal alien, that would probably satiate his curiosity. That wasn't the end of it though, we argued about my current situation and I was adamant that I was fine. Yeah that didn't end well as I thought as I argued with Ichirou for five hours and lost.
The next day, I was finally released from the hospital and I was now Kusanagi Recca, adoptive son of Kusanagi Ichirou. Oh woe is me, this is like one of those messed up anime.
Later that day, I was introduced to Godou and Shizuka, my new older brother and younger sister.
We took a day off and I managed to bring some groceries, yeah living alone can make your cooking skill delicious. While I was doing this, I used my Kagebunshin seal and created 20 clones and henged them to scour the library for information.
I cooked for my new family and I seem to have gained a cooking rival in Shizuka. My clones dispelled that night slowly and I learned, mostly history, I seem to have a good hold on the other subjects.
I was put through school in Jounan academy. My assessment test results said that I belong in first year high school. My brother on the other hand is a also a first year in a different class.
During my day off, I said to my family that I will be looking for a part-time job. In reality, I was trying to clear my head at the beach.
I was unlucky however that a heretic God descended there.
Cú Chulainn (クー・フーリン, Kū Fūrain?), a hero from the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. He was a demigod, the offspring of a mortal woman, Deichtine, the younger sister of King Conchobar mac Nessa, and the deity, Lugh, the god who governed over the sun and a member of the Danann divine family in Celtic Mythology. Deichtine, the daughter of a druid, Conchobar's father, and Maga, the widow of Ross the Red, disappeared in the Land of the Young without marrying anyone. There, she bore Sétanta (セタンタ, Setanta?), the child of the sun god.
Also known as the Hound of Culann.
Yes, luck was not on my side today as the lancer from fate/stay night decided to pop up and say hi.
"I don't suppose you just came here for a chat?." I asked him casually.
"Nay young warrior, we duel." He said as he striked me down with his spear.
I quickly substituted and made a kagebunshin seal to place a barrier seal in our location.
Feeling my life in peril, I unsealed my special battle seal clones and used them as my puppets.
"Ohh?, interesting choice of weapons, but you have to do better than that to defeat me, oh mysterious one." Said Cú Chulainn whom I will be calling Lancer from now on.
My clones or more precisely, my Kagebunshin clones that I beefed up with seals, exchanged high speed blows with lancer, a small opening revealed and my battle clones attached a gravity seal that melded into launchers skin.
"Ohh?, it warms my heart that someone is still practicing runes, hahahaha oh this will be fun." Lancer said as our battle continued.
With the gravity seal in place, Lancers movement become sluggish and I was able to attach him several gravity and energy suppression seals. He seems to be on his last legs panting severely and I decided to give the finishing blow personally.
"Hah, hah, truly a work of a master in runes, but, you have fallen into my trap." Lancer said as he poured his remaining energy to his blood red lance.
"Gáe Bolg." Lancer said as he threw the cursed lance and it came alive looking for his target which was me.
I tried to evade it but it was no use, my heart was pierced and I feel like I only had one minute to live.
"You are a formidable opponent young warrior, I will always remember our fight, what is thy name?." Lancer asked earnestly.
"It's Recca, you may have won, but I still got a trick up my sleeve." I said as my battle clones/ originally kagebunshin went into action, they still retain the original functionality of the kagebunshin which allows them to think independently.
My clones converged and hugged Lancer from all side.
"What?." Was all Lancer said as a large explosion of explosive tags making it a small nuke worth's of explosive consumed him.
The explosion cleared and showed Lancer's battered form.
"Magnificent." was all he said as he vanished into golden particles.
I had a hazy dream that I met Pandora and became a campione, surely that's a laugh.
It wasn't until I woke up and confirmed that I'm still alive that confirmed my suspicions that I became a campione.
My chakra reserves skyrocketed when I diagnosed myself.
This could also mean that more shady organizations are out to get me and other campione out there also wanted a piece of me.
I felt that I was not ready to go out and reveal my new status, so being a seal master, I made a seal for myself that supresses my nature as a campione, and I also made an energy suppression seal which made my energy levels at a civilian level.
After one hour of making those intricate seals, I was finally ready to head home and I unsealed my barrier seals in the beach.
A few weeks of normality passed, but something strange happened, I have been chosen to be an exchange student for some Copper-Black cross academy in Europe, suspicious, very suspicious, but the brochure of that school seems normal so I had to go. My new family was very excited for me which is also the reason why I can't turn it down.
Time skip, Arrival at Copper-Black Cross Academy
The academy was very very large, the school was separated into two sections. My guess is that, the half portion is for magical gifted students, and the barrier separating the buildings was sure a big clue.
The classes on the normal side we're pretty good, I have gotten enough free time to set up barrier seals on the normal side of the school because I'm paranoid.
Yeah, my paranoia was really helpful, a week after I got settled in, a powerful stray spell escaped from the magical side and headed to the normal building.
Instead of having civilian casualties and a destroyed building, all were surprised at the sudden appearance of the barrier which the spell collided making a huge explosion, surprisingly, my barrier seal was still standing strong which surprised the magical students and teachers.
The incident was avoided without casualty, I didn't expect to be called to the headmaster's office and I got news that I was to be transferred to the special side of the school.
Gah, I severely underestimated the hime-miko's of this world for them to link me to the barrier incident, oh no, this scenario was the last thing on my mind.
Sometime later I was introduced in the first year class 3 of the Special Copper-Black Cross academy.
"Hello everyone, we have a new exchange student from Japan, please welcome Recca Kusanagi." Said the teacher.
"Hello everyone, my name is Recca Kusanagi, please treat me well." I said in a perfect english accent.
I was shown to my seat, and the class began with histories lessons and Campione.
Everyone is very sports oriented, my own physique is only about a High chunnin taijutsu level, it must have increased a couple of notches since I became a campione.
The school was buzzing that day, we were having a surprise visit from one of the campione, namely one Salvatore Doni.
Doni was having a spar with the advantage students, he creamed and beat them to submission though.
Doni was giddy and excited throughout the whole time, it was as if he was expecting something like an exciting challenge.
I walked away after having seen 3 minutes of his sparring session. I went to an abandoned toolshed which I applied if I could use it, the paperwork for my usage of the toolshed was approved some days ago and I was able to redecorate the inside like Japanese royalty.
Of course nobody has seen the inside of my shed, I even used space expanding seals. I of course did not forget my locking seals which prevents normal students from trespassing on my abode.
I was cooking myself a little feast inside my shed (lavish japanese style room), when I had an unexpected visitor. Salvatore Doni broke through my locking seals, damn campione and their high magic resistance.
"Quick, hide me, I'm escaping from my fans." was what he said.
"Yeah, yeah, bother someone else, you may stay here if you behave, this shed has an auto repair lock seals, so the ones you broke must have repaired by now." I said to him.
"Phew, thanks, hmmmm, this room looks pretty nice, are you some kind of a super secret club member?." Asked Doni.
"No, I simply asked if I could use this rundown shed, it got approved and I did some repairs and modification, Jeez, stop drooling, you can join me for a snack." I said to Doni.
"Thank you, thank you, Itadakimasu!." Said Doni as he stuffed himself.
"geeeeeeeeeeeeee." said Doni as he stared into me intently.
"What?, is there something on my face?." I said to him.
"geeeeeeeeeeeeee." was still Doni's response.
"Your creeping me out now." I said to him.
"Suspicious, your very suspicious, for some reason, there's something off about you." Said Doni.
"Oh sure, blame the nice guy who fed you and hid you from fan boys, just for that (clap, clap)." I clapped my hands and triggered my seal defense and transports intruders outside.
"Doni-sama!." Were what Doni's fans said before he started running again.
Later that evening I was called to the head masters office and a smiling Doni was there.
"Congratulations Recca Kusanagi, you have been chosen as Campione Doni's personal guard." Said the headmaster with a straight face.
"I'm sorry?, where did this come from?, I'm pretty sure that there are some pretty more advanced students suitable for the job." I said to them.
"There are, they are also die hard fans and has a hero worship over me, but not you judging by our short encounter." Doni said with a smile.
"Really, can't you just chuck an unlucky student for this job?." I asked them.
"We are, and that is you, you're the unlucky student." Said the headmaster while Doni was laughing.
I resigned to my fate and packed my bags, I mailed a letter to my family saying that I had been recruited by a super secret organization that is led by a moron and I could not refuse as the repercussions where severe.
This was the last mail I sent my family for the upcoming months.

Legend
Once Ireland was called Erin, which means "green" in Gaelic. In this land named after its abundant greenery, there was a boy with great talent. His name was Sétanta. It is said that his father was the sun god Lugh and his mother was royalty. One day, he accidentally killed the guard dog protecting the house of master blacksmith Culann. Sétanta alone strangled to death "Culann's savage dog" that was well-known to have the strength of ten men. In order to compensate for this deed, for a while he himself would carry out the duties of a guard dog. Consequently, all began to call the boy "Culann's savage dog" i.e. Cú Chulainn.
In time, the grown Cú Chulainn was accepted as a member of the famous Akaeda Knights. His actions after that rendered him unmatched. He went to the "Land of Shadows" to fulfill his own love; there with incredible magic and unrivaled demonic spearmanship, he acquired Gáe Bolg. Cú Chulainn had become invincible but the sun still set. At a young age, a close Druid's prophecy said "in exchange for glorious deeds of valor, his life would be short" and accepting such a fate, he smiled and laughed.
In his final battle Cú Chulainn battled furiously and died pierced by his own magical spear. A crow landed on the shoulder of his standing corpse in his death. It is said that it was the incarnation of the witch Morrigan who continued to give him her unrequited love.
Class Abilities:
Magic Resistance: C
Cú Chulainn holds a Magic Resistance of Rank C. Aria of two verses and below are cancelled, but beyond that High Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals cannot even be defended against. That said, confronting a Servant of his superior speed (Agility A), finding the opportunity to use large-scale magecraft is next to impossible. Also, considerable skill is required to successfully "hit" him with the invoked magecraft. Judging from these factors, in situations of close combat, Cú Chulainn may have a "necessary and sufficient" rank of Magic Resistance.
In addition, as depicted in legend, he himself learned magecraft (18 Original Runes) in the "Land of Shadows", taking pride in having the skill and knowledge to qualify for Caster class. Even in a scene of the story, he sees through the presence of Medusa's Blood Fort Andromeda at a glance, considers the situation, and makes the decision not to destroy it. Cú Chulainn is not just a reckless warrior.
Personal Abilities:
Battle Continuation: A
Legend tells that the dying Cú Chulainn tied himself to a tree before taking his last breath. For he who possesses such a legend, the dying struggle is particularly fierce. Even in a hopeless battle, Cú Chulainn was still able to demonstrate astonishing tenacity, delaying Gilgamesh for half a day.
Against Emiya who dextrously fended off his spear thrusts, Cú Chulainn countered with an unyielding fighting spirit.
Disengage: C
The ability to withdraw from the battlefield in the midst of combat. Having been commanded to go on reconnaissance missions by his Master Kotomine, it can be said that this ability was fully demonstrated. From the start, Cú Chulainn excelled in seeing through battle situations, and had the responsibility to wage war and withdraw repeatedly from all the Servants.
Runes: B
Cú Chulainn obtained 18 Runes from his studies with Scáthach (Norse Runes), appropriately using them to respond in different situations. It is said that among these runes, one with the purpose of searching existed. It was the ability that supported his elusive actions during the Holy Grail War.
Protection from Arrows: B
Ability to deal with projectiles. This is a power Cu Chulainn was born with. It's said that it's possible for him to avoid any long range attack if he has made visual confirmation of his opponent. He can deal with most projectiles even in conditions where the opponent cannot be visually seen. Even if the battle with Hasan Sabbaha, he cancelled the throwing swords hurled from the darkness. As long as the attack is a thrown type, he can avoid even Noble Phantasms, but he can't gain the effects of this protection with respect to wide range attack types where the attack range of the weapon explodes on impact, or a direct attack by a weapon that has simply long reach.
Divinity: B
The circumstances behind Cú Chulainn's great divinity is his father's existence. His father was Lugh, the god who governed over the sun, a member of the Danann divine family in Celtic Mythology. As a demigod whose father was an almighty god who possessed every skill such as knowledge, techniques and magic, and whose mother was Deichtine, younger sister of King Conchobar, he exhibited superior talent from birth. Boasting supernatural ability that separated him from ordinary people from a young age, in his training in the Land of Shadows, he received the original runes and terrible magic spear Gaé Bolg from Scáthach. Truly, he was a man predestined to become a hero. In Ireland, poetry and statues praising Cú Chulainn still remain to this day.
Noble Phantasm
Gáe Bolg: Spear of Piercing Barbed Death
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 2~4
Maximum targets: 1
While this is a technique employing Gáe Bolg as a melee attack, it is originally a magic spear for throwing. With a technique that reverses the meaning of "cause and effect" in the order of things, the "result" that "the heart of the opponent has been pierced" is created earlier than the moment it is thrust. Accordingly, the "cause" that "the lance has pierced through the heart" is generated from it later. Without a great deal of luck (like Altria), it can be said that this is a technique that determines "if it is released, the opponent is dead." However, against Servants like Heracles who can move even when their heart is destroyed, there is a small disadvantage. Compared to the Spear of Striking Death Flight, both the range of effectiveness and the destructive power are weakened. However, it is worth mentioning that "the magical energy cost is low." For having such a strong effect as "almost certainly will destroy the enemy's heart," without the need of a terrible amount of magical power, it becomes an excellent Noble Phantasm of extraordinary usability.
Gae Bolg: Striking Death Flight
Rank: B+
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 5~40
Maximum Targets: 50 People
The largest and most powerful attack delivered using Gae Bolg. The "attack that unleashes countless darts at the enemy" which legends speak of is Gae Bolg – Striking Death Flight. After accelerating through an approach run, Cú Chulainn takes to the skies and activates Striking Death Flight by hurling it towards the ground with all his might.
Different from Gae Bolg – Piercing Death Thorn, Striking Death Flight does not carry the property or concept of "always pierces the opponent's heart", but compared to Piercing Death Thorn, both power and area of effect are increased (intense consumption of Magic Energy). It is a technique that attacks the enemies together with the surrounding area, in a carpet bombing fashion. Even resilient bulwark or agile body are not immune to the power of Striking Death Flight; Gae Bolg will send the enemy horde flying. In legend, the demonic spear is said to split into 30 and pour down over the enemy, but it seems the number has increased after Cú Chulainn became a Heroic Spirit. During the battle with Emiya, Emiya spoke of Striking Death Flight "exceeding the original, Gungnir – Declaration of the Great God".
