It wasn't fun dying. It really wasn't fun waking up in a body that's supposed to be dead. Being a ninja in Naruto? Yeah, that's the last thing I want to do. So who the hell is Rin, and can someone get ahold of her to tell her she can have her body back? Oh, did I mention the giant demon turtle trapped inside of me? Is this the universe's idea of a bad joke? SI/OC, AU, slow build.
