A/n: I know, I don't do this a lot but listen, this is recap in some parts but I'm also addressing somethings about the story within the story. So if you will all bear with me, I'd appreciate it a lot. But some other background on this: I started this story when I was 13. I had little to no grasp on how relationships worked, grammar and plot are not to the grade I would've liked and I now understand more of why an overpowered character can be irritating. Be that as it may, I do not regret the roads I have taken to reach this and I'm glad you've all found interest within my work. I greatly appreciate it and dearly apologize for not updating as often as I wish to. I don't like doing authors notes too often so I hope you understand. That also means I don't talk to the readers enough and tell them how much I do appreciate them and their input. Like I've been messaged to do chapters involving the girls more as romantic interests and I'm honestly trying to work with that. But seriously, thank you so much for reading my story and I hope you continue to enjoy!
Y/n's Pov
I run into Takashi and his team quite literally. Yahiko, Minato, and Shisui were with him and I grin. "Awesome to see you all~! What's up~?"
Yahiko chuckles and rolls his eyes. "You know your brother will kill you, right?"
"Naturally~" I say with a small laugh. "I guess we should get back?" They all nod and we head that way.
"You going to avoid Naozumi?" Shisui asks.
"Like the plague." I respond, looking at him with a small smirk. Yahiko lets out a hearty laugh.
"Good luck with that~ he's keeping an eye out for you like a mother bear~" Takashi nods with a smile.
"And who says I'll make it any easier for you to avoid Naozumi~"
"I will end you Takashi." I say, staring at him with a playful glare. Takashi chuckles.
"I'd love to see you try my darling~" he says with a smirk. I roll my eyes
~Timeskip Back to the Village~
Y/n's Pov
Naozumi stands at the entrance of the village, tapping his foot impatiently, arms crossed. "Do you know how much trouble you are in young lady?!" He shouts. I'm not even within 20 feet of the gate, mind you.
"WHAT?!" I yell. "Can't hear you!" The four people with me deadpan as I suddenly vanish and appear right in Naozumi's face.
"You worried the absolute sh- shitaque mushooms out of me!" He says. I go to respond and he pulls me into a tight hug.
"Yeah… okay…." I say softly as I hug back. After a while he slowly lets go.
"Where'd ya get the flower crown?" He asks with a small smile.
"Shisui~" I say sing song. Cause you do not need to know it was Obito~ I know Naozumi. He would loose his freaking mind. And not in a good way. "But I gotta run, I want to meet up with someone…" I say.
"A boy?" Naozumi asks and I wack him on top of the head. "Fine Fine… just come visit me too…" he says with a pout and I laugh.
"I'll always come visit you~" I say gently. "But I gotta run now, okay?" He nods and I then run off.
Spotting the person I wanted to vent to lying down on a bench, cloud watching, I stroll over. I then take my hand and knock on the bench.
"Yo." Shika tilts his head further back to look at me, "Y/n? Whoa, what happened?"
"So, that conversation before I left? Yeah, I'ma… uh explain to you at least. Besides you're too lazy to tell anyone. Plus you're one of the only Chunin here."
"Ha. Ha. Well. I'm kinda glad you'll talk to me about it. I guess."
"You sure it's not a drag?" I question and he rolls his eyes. I give a faint smile and pull the flower crown off my head. "Well, get comfy, this is a long and seriously unbelievable story."
Shika sits up and faces me. "If it's that important, I think I'll just sit like this." He says with a small smile, making eye contact with me. I nod.
"Okay…" I take a deep breath. "I want to start with… I'm forgetting things slowly. Things firm my "past life" per say. I come from an area called T/n(town/city name). My dad was killed when I was young… 5 actually and I was moved to a foster home. My mom had died giving birth to me in all honesty. Her first name is my middle name. But my foster family… They never liked me much so I tended to stick to my room."
Shikamaru nods slowly. "What's T/n?" He asks.
"My home in an alternate world? Universe? Something like that. Oh… also Kakashi knows a lot of my past…" I laugh nervously. "Okay, and you know Naozumi, my elder brother. He's blood related to me. He was somehow transported to this world too, found terribly injured in front of the village gates… he woke up and met the Hokage. 3rd." I say.
"So you don't know how he got here?" Shika asks and I shake my head.
"I don't think he knows either… he was caught up in a battle and was told he was lucky to make it out alive. I was told he'd died in a car crash by my stupid foster brother." I say. "He was fighting in a war… he didn't remember much but knew he'd gotten the leaf village necklace from me."
"Wait so, if your parents were killed, why didn't he take you in?" Shikamaru asks. "And the necklace… was from where if you're not from here?
"Because he's a bit too close in age? But he managed to find me again by using his government connections. He liked to visit me and vice versa. About the necklace, I'll tell you later." I say with a small shrug. "I know he also met Itachi and Shisui… Shisui nabbed Itachi and Naozumi out of the hospital to get lunch." I laugh slightly and Shikamaru chuckles.
"He sounds like quite the interesting character… you are talking Itachi Uchiha, correct?" Shika asks and I nod in confirmation.
"Shisui befriended Naozumi quick, despite Itachi's protests of my dear brother being injured still." Shikamaru cracks a smile as I tell him the next part. "Shisui then says he's going to spar with my brother and my brother says he doesn't remember his abilities… Shisui then says, and I quote, 'We'll just have to rely on your muscle memory then. I'll just attack you and see what happens.'" I say with a laugh.
'I figured he could take it! Stop making fun of me!' Said Uchiha says in my head, not helping my laughter. "Since Naozumi never really mentioned my name or looks, Itachi wouldn't know who I am from my brother… hopefully." I say, well, he does now. "Naozumi apparently took our father's place in the war. He 'died' while flying a plane."
"I see… if I may ask, what was life with your foster parents like?" He asks and I sweatdrop.
"Oh yeah, it's fine. They're actually my adoptive but I refuse to believe that people would actually adopt a kid and treat them like that." I say. "They turned a blind eye to my 'step-brother' treating me like crap then kicked me out at age 10 with 1000 bucks to do whatever. By some miracle, I was able to find a job, go to school and get a new home."
"What the hell?!" Shikamaru asks. "Who does that?"
"Oh, but my step managed to torture me beyond the graveee~" I laugh. "But actually he ended up turning the school I went to against me so I just moved again and started over. I got into something that helped me out a lot actually… a show…" I smile softly.
"What? Like a play?" I shake my head.
"No… oh! Right other people know but not this much, so I'm sorry but… can you handle more?" I ask. Shikamaru nods.
"Yeah, sure." He says. "Who else knows?"
"I know Naozumi knows and Kakashi knows but… I can talk to those who've died… Even summon them… but it's not reanimation." I say. I can't tell him some of the others from the other side know… sorry Shika… Shikamaru blinks and looks to me wide eyed.
"What?"
"You know my clan?" I ask, keeping steady eye contact with Shikamaru. He nods. "They're all revived people for the most part. Dan, Nawaki, Erza is… uh someone you'll find out about later… Sting is Minato, Zero is Tobarima, Mori is Harashima, Finnan is Yahiko, and Grey is Shisui." I smile slightly.
"How'd you come up with those names? And why aliases?" He asks curiously.
"Uhhh funny story, there's this thing called anime in my world. Thats the show stuff I was talking about. It's moving pictures on a screen… well the names are derived from several different animes. Zero from Vampire Knight, Mori from Ouran Highschool Host Club, Erza, Grey and Sting from Fairy Tail, Finnan from Black Butler… yeah." I say, counting off everyone I could recall in the moment. "Aliases because… uhh… good question, I actually don't know. I guess no one could've recognized them with the transformations."
"Whoa…."
I take in a deep breath. "And the one that helped me…? Naruto. I also started Naruto Shippuden but… it's about you guys and I have excessive knowledge of what's supposed to happen… But you can't tell anyone." He nods slowly.
"So wait, you knew everyone before you came here?" He asks and I nod, looking down.
"Yeah… sorry…" I mutter. He smiles slightly and hugs me tightly.
"Hey, don't fret…" He says, patting my back lightly. "You need to tell someone, even though you could've told an adult… I'm glad you told me." He says.
"Y-Yeah…" I say with a small smile. He pulls away and I look at him. "Takashi is the one who brought me here but… he didn't bring Naozumi here…" I say and Shikamaru nods.
"So… What is Takashi?" He asks and I shrug.
"He claims he's a demon or something? But I've seen him take up the role of a reaper and-"
"I'm the son of Satan and Death." Takashi says, appearing before us, cutting me off. "My name is Takashi Kazuto and I'm roughly 2976. I am a world hopper and universe leader. I medle where I shouldn't…"
"Holy SON OF SATAN where'd you come from?!" I ask and he chuckles lightly.
"Your mind and desire to leave your own world." He answers with slight sass. Shikamaru just looks at him with wide eyes.
"Wait so, you…?" he struggles for the words. "Can go to any world imagined up and written about?"
"I knew you were a smart boy~!" Takashi says with a small smile. "Indeed. I have an adopted little brother that goes around with me sometimes. My personality in every world is slightly altered every time but…" He shrugs. "Shocker. Sometimes I do something with the many alternate verses and sometimes I never touch them…"
"Is there any rhyme or reason to what you do?" Shikamaru questions and Takashi shakes his head.
"Not really. But I'm going to leave you and Y/n to talk more. There's still much to talk about after all my dear~" Takashi says with a small chuckle, vanishing into a small whips of blue smoke.
"Well that was interesting…" I say and look to Shikamaru. "You good or want me to stop for today?" I ask and he shakes his head, eyes shut for a second.
"I think we can continue." He says. I nod and take a deep breath.
"The tailed beasts… all reside within me technically. It wasn't always that way and I don't know when it changed… because originally there were only a few… besides the 11 and 12 tails." I say and look at him to see if he's following.
"11 and 12… tails?" I nod.
"Adolphus is an 11 tailed wolf… and anything else he wants to be. Sivath is the 12 tailed dragon."
