A/N: After months and months of not returning, I'm finally back!
This is actually my first reincarnated Naruto story! It's been awhile since I make a fanfic about Naruto… since my crossover with KH I never thought of making another one because my past ones sucks… but thanks to reading many and many SI stories… I finally managed to make one of my own. But this is not a SI. An OC who's reincarnated actually.
EDIT [2022/10/17]: I gotta say, that Naruto 20th anniv video brought me back. I've been super busy lately, so I never really have time to write anyone, but I do have some free time for now and I decided to give this story a rewrite. I'm changing a few things like POV and plot lines to have a better flow. Mostly will be written in third pov, but I'll switch to first pov to summarize what my OC is thinking. I'll call it Haruka's corner.
I remember writing this story when I was a teen? Anyway, it was a long time ago. I have not been able to write that much for the past years, but hopefully my grammar and English improved.
Not much changes in chapter 1, the real changes start at chapter 2. Hopefully I still have time to write until the good parts before I get busy again haha.
Thank you all for your continuous support. I've read all of the reviews and I'm glad to have such supportive and encouraging readers.
Act 1
The Magician
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to tonight's show!"
The moment when the nurse let him in after a painfully long four hours of wait.
It was official.
Fujino Tadashi was the happiest man alive.
"Congratulations, Fujino-san. You have a healthy baby girl." The midwife said, a smile on her face.
Tadashi didn't pay attention to the midwife's words. He was too busy staring to actually process anything.
Slowly, he moved. A foot after another, he came closer to his wife's bed.
His wife turned her head to look at her husband. "Tadashi, come and see your daughter." She said, a tired yet radiant smile gracing her lips.
Tadashi leaned closer to look at the bundle in his wife's arms. His teal-green eyes slightly widened when his wife showed the baby.
His little baby girl. His little princess. His precious daughter is beautiful.
The top of her head graced with soft auburn locks, just like him.
And the eyes, oh the eyes. The moment his eyes meet her own doe teal-green eyes. He was sure he melted on the spot.
He shakily lifted his hand. His large warm hand gently stroked his baby's head.
"My… daughter." His teal-green eyes suddenly watered, tears threatening to spill. He dropped down to his knees beside his wife's bed, his hand still cupping the baby's head. A grin made its way up to his lips as tears of joy rolled down his cheeks. "My beautiful, beautiful daughter." He lifted his other hand, lacing his fingers with his wife.
"Darling… are you actually crying?" His wife asked, amusement laced in her voice.
Tadashi sniffled. "Of course! This day marks the day when our beautiful angel is born!" he laughed. He couldn't stop grinning. He was too excited and happy to stop. "Tenshi. We're naming her Tenshi, Miwa!" he suggested enthusiastically.
Miwa stared at her husband. "No, Tadashi. No. We're not naming her Tenshi." Her husband slumped his shoulder in disappointment, but he quickly recovered as he began to list out the perfect names for his newborn daughter. All of them were rejected.
Miwa closed her eyes. "Haru… Haruka."
Tadashi blinked, stopping his never ending list of names. "Haruka?" he tilted his head to the side.
Miwa nodded. "She's born in the month of spring. Though, naming her after the Sakura trees would be—," she stopped when she saw the look in her husband's eyes.
"Haruka… Fujino Haruka…" Tadashi whispered. Another grin made its way up to his face and more tears of joy rolled down his cheeks. "Did you hear about my beautiful daughter? From now on your name will be Fujino Haruka!"
Tadashi kissed his wife, smiling. The two of them stared at the bundle of joy in their arms, sharing the same smile.
"Our little Haru-chan."
"Please give a round of applause for the Magician Extraordinaire!"
April 4th, I learned, was the day I was born.
My parents, Fujino Tadashi and Miwa, were such loving and doting parents. Especially dad. He spoils his little princess too much though.
Before Fujino Haruka, I was Megan Fox—famous actress
Okay well, not thee Megan Fox…
My name is…or was Megan Clark.
I was a magician.
I remembered my last show. I was performing in Las Vegas, along with a few other magicians. My family was watching. Mom, dad and my four siblings. It was the grand finale when everything happened. A fire broke out from the backstage. The fire spread so quickly. Up to the curtains and to the high ceiling. Everyone panicked as they rushed to get outside.
"Sam! Sammy! Where are you? Honey, I can't find Sam!"
"Megan! Look after your brothers and your mother! I'm going back inside!"
I remember going back inside to look for my sister.
"Dad! I'll go! You don't know the place like I do!"
I remember finding my sister near the aula.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't cry. I'm here. Your magical awesome sister is here to save the day."
I remember running to the exit. A few Firemen were making motions for us to hurry up.
I remember the chandelier falling down.
Time was ticking.
I remember throwing my little sister to safety.
"Big sis!"
I remember the pain of being crushed.
I died.
That was the end of Megan Clark, the Magician Extraordinaire, world renowned magician.
Yeah… it was unexpected. I kind of expected to die either from old age or because of my more dangerous magic tricks.
But I guess, knowing that I saved my sister from death is satisfying. I just hoped that they would forgive me if we ever meet in the afterlife, after you know… I die from this life.
After being…well… reborn, I wasn't too overwhelmed with feelings. It was just unexpected. Sure, I spaced out a lot thinking about it, but I eventually moved on over the whole rebirth.
Sometimes, I wish I could be reborn in the Detective Conan series or in the Kindaichi one. I could meet the great and awesome magician, Kuroba Toichi or his son. I would really like to be his student. His magic tricks were spectacular. But nope, it's jutsu and chakra and all that.
I found out when mom took me out of the house to grandma's. I thought it was just a regular old-fashion town, but when my baby eyes saw the mountain with three faces. Oh snap.
"Oh? That's the Hokage Monument. That one is Hashirama-sama. The next one beside it is Tobirama-sama. And the last one is Sarutobi-sama. Our Sandaime."
So I was in the time before the third war or in the third war.
Both mom and dad were careful not to discuss things from the shinobi gossips around the house.
But I'll admit. It is cool to be able to see ninja stuff from my own eyes, but there aren't any single magicians in this world.
Well… I guess it's better than Shingeki no Kyojin. I would rather be alive and not live in fear of being eaten by Titans. Thank you very much.
Then again, I could be the greatest and the first magician the nations have ever seen!
Fujino Haruka, first ever magician.
Has a nice ring to it, huh?
"Haru-chan! Tou-chan is back!" Tadashi entered the house, calling his daughter's name cheerfully.
"Welcome home, tou-chan!" The little girl ran as fast as her three-year old legs could, throwing herself at him. Short and tiny arms wrapped around one of Tadashi's legs. She tilted her head up, her teal-green eyes looked up to see her dad's own teal-green eyes. Even if there was a radiant smile gracing his lips, she could tell that he was tired just from the look in his eyes. No one knows him more than his own daughter. "Long day?" she asked.
Tadashi blinked. "Don't worry about it, Haru-chan." he gently stroked the top of her auburn hair. He smiled reassuringly, but she could still feel the strain behind his smile. "Besides… all of tou-chan's worries disappear when he sees you!" he crouched down, giving his all-time famous bear hug.
Haruka giggled as he rubbed his cheek with hers. "Tou-chan!"
"Welcome back, darling." Miwa came from the kitchen, greeting her hubby. She gave him a peck on the cheek and took the coat off. "Dinner would be ready in a few. How about you two set the table?" she smiled.
They both gave a simultaneous 'okay', raising their hand above their head.
"Tou-chan, I learned how to count!"
"Oh? You did? Then count for me!" Tadashi grinned, eager to hear his daughter count.
Haruka placed the chopsticks down. "One, two, three," she kept on counting as she helped her dad place the tableware. "Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and finally—" she faced her dad, his face beaming with excitement.
"Ten!" The two of them shouted together. They laughed. "Haru-chan is so smart!" He gave his daughter a hug and an endless string of praises coming from his mouth.
MIwa giggled as she placed the food on the table.
"Itadakimasu!" The three of them said in unison before digging into their meals.
Since Haruka was only three, Miwa gave her a smaller portion, despite the latter arguing that she was already a big girl and therefore was ready for the big girl portion. The little girl slurped the miso soup and glanced over to her mother when she started a conversation. "Honey, did you remember to hire a Genin team for tomorrow?"
Haruka blinked. Genin team? For what?
Tadashi visibly froze.
"Honey… you didn't forget now, did you?" Miwa asked, giving a stare.
"N-No…" Tadashi coughed, clearing his throat as he placed the chopsticks down. Haruka on the other hand was staring at her parents in amusement. It wasn't the first time her father lost his word when speaking to her mother. "B-But I can't leave my precious baby girl to a bunch of snotty unbehaved children! Why can't I just take her with me to work?" he whined.
Miwa sighed, shaking her head. "You know that you can't. I believe their Jounin sensei are capable enough to supervise them." She reasoned.
Tadashi pouted. "Why can't you take her to the bakery?"
"Yeah. Why can't you take me, kaa-chan?" Haruka asked, nodding along.
"Your obaa-san has caught the flu and has asked me to take care of her. I don't want you to get caught with the flu too, Haru-chan." Her mother's warm brown eyes glanced over to Haruka, who kept a curious face on all the time. "You're a big girl now, right Haru-chan?"
Haruka nodded happily. "Yeah!"
Technically she was a 28 year old woman. A big girl indeed.
"No! You can't grow up just yet, Haru-chan! Who would hug tou-chan? Who would kiss tou-chan's boo-boos away?" Tadashi cried comically.
Haruka grinned. "Kaa-chan can do that!"
Tadashi stopped his fake crying and turned to look at his wife. "Kaa-chan always does that." He grinned, sending a wink.
"Ew! Are you going to do a smoochie-smoochie in front of me?!" Haruka loves teasing her parents equally. As a three year old child, she got away with everything.
Miwa blushed. "Tadashi!" she hushed him, glaring at him with her tomato-colored face. She cleared her throat after calming down. "B-But you did hire a Genin team, right?"
"Well…"
"Tadashi."
"Okay, okay! I did!"
Haruka giggled. She really loves her new parents.
"Do you have your blocks?"
"Check!"
"Your crayons?"
"Check!"
"Good! You can throw it at them—!"
"Tadashi…"
"…be good, okay Haru-chan?"
Haruka nodded, giving a salute. "Okay!"
Miwa kissed her daughter's forehead. "They should be here soon." As if on cue, there was a knock at the door. "That must be them." She went towards the door while Tadashi crouched down beside their daughter.
Tadashi leaned closer, "Alright. You know what to do when they do something you don't like, right?" he whispered, placing his hands in front of his mouth to cover..
Haruka nodded her head. "Make their babysitting mission a hard one!" She grinned. She actually likes this plan, more than her mother's. Who wants to be a goodie well-behaved child when she can mess with a bunch of Genins instead?
Tadashi ruffled her hair. "Good girl!"
"Tadashi. Haru-chan." The two of them glanced up at the sound of Miwa's voice. Haruka's eyes widened when they landed on the tall handsome blond behind her mother. Aside from the perfect view of the youthful man, three kids were standing behind him. "Meet your babysitters for today."
The blond man gave a close-eyed smile. Haruka squinted her eyes. She could've sworn she saw rainbows and flowers behind him. "Good morning. I'm Namikaze Minato. I'm Team 7's Jounin instructor. And they are my students, Uchiha Obito." He motioned his hand to the black-haired boy.
Obito grinned. "Yo!"
Minato moved his hand. "Nohara Rin."
The only girl in the group smiled. "Hello."
"And finally, Hatake Kakashi."
"Hn."
Haruka could only stare in awe at the important characters—No… at the people standing on her front doorsteps. They were not just 2D characters anymore. She has to constantly remind herself that every single character from the anime is real, alive and kicking. Butwowgoddamn were they more perfect than she had imagined.
"This is Haru-chan." Miwa's voice broke Haruka off from her trail of thoughts. She placed her hand on her daughter's back, giving her an encouraging push. "Say hi, Haru-chan."
Haruka took a deep breath. I practiced this. I can do this.
The redhead took a few steps forward, looking up to them, who stared at her with curious eyes. What can she say? She was one heck of an adorable three year old. She held out her hand, asking for a hand-shake. Minato chuckled as he crouched down to shake her tiny hand.
"Hi, Haru-chan. It's nice to meet you. My team and I will be looking after you today." Minato shook Haruka's hand. His hand was big and calloused from all the battle and training he endured, but it felt warm and safe. She smiled.
"Hello! I'm Haruka! Nice to meet you, Minato-san!" The redhead introduced, giving him her best grin. "I feel so honored to be graced by you and your team's presence! Please accept my token of gratitude." She plucked a rose out of thin air, giving it to the gentleman.
Everyone could've sworn they heard something crack—most likely Tadashi's heart dropping to the floor.
Haruka felt giddy inside. I can't believe I just did that in front of the Future Yellow Flash!
"Oh no…" It was Kakashi who broke the silence. "Not another Gai." he muttered under his breath.
Haruka heard him, but didn't drop her charming smile. Just you wait, Kakashi, you too shall see how awesome, amazing and inspirational Gai-sensei is.
Minato chuckled, trying to hide the surprised look he made just a few seconds ago. "Thank you Haru-chan. It's an honor to babysit you as well." he took the flower from the little girl—no doubt, impressed by her quick movements.
The little girl proceeds to pluck three more roses out of thin air, giving them each to the rest of the team. Even after seeing her make roses magically out of thin air three more times, Minato was still impressed. It wasn't everyday a little kid can magically pull roses out of thin air. He saw how both of his students swooned at the child's adorableness, though Kakashi was difficult when it comes to social interactions muchless showing gratitude, he accepted the rose nonetheless.
The redhead smiled as she grabbed Rin's hand, dragging her inside the house.
If this simple magic trick can amaze them.
Wait till they see the Magician Extraordinaire!
