I don't own Naruto (or Ichihara Yuuko from xxxHOLiC).
10th One Shot- Reincarnation
Seven hundred year old Uzumaki Naruto sat on top of one of the many skyscrapers in the middle of the night. He sighed as he looked at the cars on the streets. Naruto hated this, Kyuubi never wanted to die. The blonde former shinobi and former Shichidaime (Seventh) Hokage never looked over twenty-five.
After the last of his friends died, Naruto met Ichihara Yuuko. She allowed him to travel worlds for a price—he was never to return to the shinobi world. She explained to him about that in different worlds that there may be people that look like people he knows but only in essence are they the same.
He was in New York City, in our world. Naruto was becoming restless. This world was annoying. He missed Konoha. He left the skyscraper roof and headed to Central Park.
When he arrived, no one was there. Naruto missed the trees of Konoha, the deserts of Suna and his friends.
"SASUKE, WHERE ARE YOU," screamed a voice, which Naruto thought he knew. Naruto searched for the voice. Uchiha Itachi was running around panicked. 'No,' Naruto thought, 'that isn't the Itachi I know, not the self-sacrificing Itachi of my world.' Naruto walked over to him.
"Young man," said Naruto, lucky that Yuuko also gave him the ability to speak all the languages of the worlds. "Who are you looking for?"
"My little brother," said the Itachi-look-a-like. "He ran away from home again. His name is Sasuke." He showed Naruto a picture of an exact replica of Naruto's deceased best friend.
"I'll help you look," said Naruto, thinking that at least Sasuke and Itachi, in another world, has a chance to keep their brotherly relationship.
"Oh thank you, sir," said Itachi. Naruto knew that Sasuke was hiding in the bushes of the park. The blonde went over and picked up a seven year old version of Sasuke by the back of his shirt. "Sasuke, you can't keep running away when they fight!"
"Whatever," Sasuke scoffed, annoyed.
"Show more respect for your brother," said Naruto, giving Sasuke back to the Itachi. "You only have this life to be with each other."
"Che, what do you know, idiot," said Sasuke. Naruto twitched; children in this world were highly disrespectful (though that sounded a lot like his Sasuke). If he ever talked like that…oh wait, he did talk like that because he had no one to teach him otherwise until Sakura and Tsunade started beating the right words to say into his head.
"Sasuke, don't talk like that," said Itachi, flicking him on the forehead. "Thanks, sir."
"No problem," said Naruto, walking away, smiling. It was nice to see Sasuke and Itachi act like brothers. Naruto missed Konoha and was getting restless.
