In the wake of Zero Requiem, Lelouch vi Britannia was quite ready to face whatever judgement awaited him for his sins.

Rated T to be safe.

When Jaune woke up back in his house with his sisters and family, all he could do was sigh. Every time he died he was forced to start over again, and this was what... the one thousandth time? More? If it doesn't matter how hard he tries, doesn't matter how much he fights. Then maybe it's time to just kick back and enjoy himself. Fate can find someone else to be its whipping boy.

The one who saw everything. Who experienced all joys, and all sorrows. Who drank fully of the cup of life! But once, before standing at the end, and looking back with the ultimate wisdom, there was a beginning. A start. A path. A journey. A wandering legend that, known by no one, spoken by no one, contains the truth of triumph and tragedy, of perfection, and despair. [Omniverse SI]

Only, half a year later, with her prey-turned-boyfriend still alive and kicking, Rize begins to consider that she may have made a slight miscalculation.

Time travel, the ultimate hoax to cheat in life and turn bad odds to your advantage. Or, it would be if Naruto had any idea what he was doing. Trying to save lives he holds dear, he somehow ended up as an international S-class criminal with a flee-on-sight order. Oops.
