A solitary figure lies on his back in what appears to be a decimated shoreline and a looming wall in the distance, his body mired in wounds and the blood seeps into the sand. The figure was tall with broad shoulders, his black hair matted with sweat and sand but his eyes opened, revealing a steel-blue eye and a golden eye with black sclera. His face is handsome with a strong chin, straight slender nose and defined cheekbones. His arm was white as snow with a black tribal like tattoo, going up the arm but in his hand was a sword broken in two but he kept a firm grip. The figure manages a weak smile as he holds up his broken blade.
"Looks like.. I'll break my promise" he says, reaching in his pocket and a sigh of relief escapes his mouth, finding a cigarette pack. The figure pulls one out with his mouth and lit it, "Laying on this ground.. I'm reminded of an old memory.. Even if I was born in the Soul Society.. I remember this old life.. Me as a hyperactive knucklehead with blond hair and of all things whiskers but not was all happy.. Just like here I was hated and treated like nothing but I made friends but that changed and they betrayed me and killed me.. Well not all of them" he muses. A image fills his mind of a beautiful young woman with pearl eyes and long lavender hair, "Hime.. Shit to die alone sucks balls" he mutters, with a drag.
"Not completely.. Mitsuomi.. You got me" a female voice said in his mind. Mitsuomi groans softly with a puff, "Sorry Zetsuei but we're on our last hooray.. Maybe this time.. When I'm reborn I'll be someone not treated like Shit" he says, to no one as his cigarette fell from his mouth. Mitsuomi slowly feels his life slipping away but through his blurry eyes sees a figure in a flowing cloak standing next to him with black hair peeking from their hood, "A sad life you have lived.. Drifting from battle to battle.. Those you love taken.. Hated for things not of your doing.. Mitsuomi Kiriyu or rather Naruto Uzumaki" the figure said, their voice distorted but vaguely male. Mitsuomi manages a weak chuckle, "I haven't heard that name in so long but how is this possible for me to have a previous life but born in the Soul Society" he asks.
"Because despite your birth.. All souls have a previous life but none remember it fully.. However you are different as you have been all your life both of them" the man states and kneels to one knee.
"However the legend of the Number One hyperactive ninja was not meant to end at the age of sixteen.. Killed by his best friend for power.. Those you loved turned against you.. However two didn't despite the odds" he adds. A pair of images appear in mitsuomi's mind and a tear fell down his cheek, "Hime.. Granny" he mutters. The man places a hand on mitsuomi's chest, "I come with an offer for you.. To return to life but life in the Elemental Nations.. However not as Naruto but as Mitsuomi" he states. Mitsuomi glances to his broken sword and then to the figure, "Who are you and why" he asks.
"My name is not relevant and the why is an atonement for your life ending at their hands.. So what is your answer" the man states. Mitsuomi touches the man's hand and a burning sensation runs through his body, "A piece of advice and a warning.. Three years have passed since you died.. Naruto the first place you should go is to your friend in the Sand" he states and a glowing engulfs mitsuomi's vision.
"Unfortunately.. You will cease to exist in the Soul Society and Your presence erased" the figure thought.
-Scene Break-
Mitsuomi awakes with a start in a lush forest on the wet ground as the rain fell and immediately the words to that man echo in his thoughts, "Friend in the sand.. Could he meant Gaara" he mused and rubs his forehead.
"That could be it but who was that man to have the power to bring you back" zetsuei comments. However mitsuomi's breath hitches and his eyes widen, "The Rei-ō could do that" he thought and zetsuei gasps. Mitsuomi shook his thoughts away and notes his clothes were still tattered with black, buckle riding boots, gloves and cargo pants but one leg was missing. Mitsuomi unsheathes his sword as zetsuei manifests behind him, her ruby and sapphire eyes staring and her red hair getting wet.
"I don't hear Him anymore" mitsuomi notes and she rubs her armored hand.
"We merged.. You still have all your hollow powers but look at your left eye and arm" zetsuei comments. Mitsuomi moves his blade to his see his left eye still had his scar and holds a black sclera but the iris was steel-blue again. Mitsuomi gets to his feet and his arm still holds the tribal lightning bolt going down the to the wrist, at the wrist it splits into four black lines to his knuckles but was his normal skin tone again.
"Hey look boss.. A lost soul" a burly voice says. Mitsuomi glances to see several unsavory men but one stood out. He has a similar body shape to him, dressed in a sleeveless black jacket and a pair military like cargo pants.
"A lost soul indeed with an exquisite blade.. Let us convince him to donate it to Kami" he says. Mitsuomi tightens his grip on zetsuei with a sigh and unleashes his reiatsu like KI, causing all of them to fall on their rear with fright filled eyes.
"You Strip and give me all your money" mitsuomi says, his eyes glowing brightly. The leader quickly strips off his clothes and the other bandits give a pouch.
"A-any thing else Sir" the leader says. Mitsuomi holds up the black shirt and sees it has a wing design on the back and wraps around the front, "Consider this your lucky day.. Change your ways and I won't come find you and Kill all of you" he says. All of the bandits drop to their knees, "We will Demon-sama" they shout and run off.
"Fufufu Demon-sama" zetsuei jokes, as mitsuomi gets dressed and thankfully both were the same size.
"Just great.. Back for a few minutes and called a Demon" mitsuomi says, zipping up his boots and securing the pouch and zetsuei to his waist.
"I guess it can't be helped.. Gaara is in danger.. I'll find him" mitsuomi muses, as zetsuei vanishes and he vanishes into shunpo. It didn't take mitsuomi long to pick up gaara's trail and lead him to a cliff with a river, however he saw a large red arch and large boulder.
"It may have seals but with no chakra.. We can't get in" zetsuei comments. Mitsuomi scoffs with a smirk and clenches on his left fist, "We don't need chakra.. We still got our Shinigami powers" he said and leaps off the cliff with a spin, "Ikkotsu" he shouts, shattering the rock the with his fist.

Inside two figure were standing in shock and several projections were equally shocked as the entrance explodes.
"Knock knock" a voice said, amid the dust cloud. Mitsuomi emerges from the dust cloud rotating his arm and got a look at the two figures, one was blond hair man with one visible blue eye. The other was hunched closer to the ground with a large turtle like body and an emotionless face but both wore a black cloaks with red clouds.
"I commend you stranger for breaking the barrier.. Very few possess the power to do so" one of the projections states. Mitsuomi looks to the highest project of a man with ripple patterned purple eyes, "Well aren't I lucky" he quips.
"Deidara.. Sasori.. Eliminate him and continue the extraction on the Ichibi" the man states and projections cease. Mitsuomi sees gaara inside a blue orb and his eyes narrow but he turns his attention to his opponents, "Release him Now" he coldly said. Deidara only grins and forms a bird made of clay, "Ya can't have him.. Let's get him Sasori my man-hmm" he states. However mitsuomi vanishes and severs the arm holding the clay, causing it to explode and killing deidara but sasori launches back. Mitsuomi appears above sasori as he lands but only met wood as the real sasori landed a few feet away, "A puppet" he thought. Sasori has red hair and a blank face with a symbol on his bare chest, "You did me a favor by killing that idiot artist.. True art is immortal" he said. However as sasori finishes a blue lightning bolt struck the symbol, "How?!.. How did you know" he mutters, before collapsing like a puppet devoid of strings.
"It was best to end it quick.. Before they got started.. Now to save Gaara" mitsuomi notes and turns to the multi-eyed statue.
"Hadō #63 Raikōhō" mitsuomi recites, firing a large electric yellow blast. The Kidō was enough to free gaara as he caught him but mitsuomi saw it did little damage to the statue, "Note to self.. Blow that fucking thing to hell later" he thought, looking for a pulse and found one. Mitsuomi lifts gaara on his shoulder and shunpos to the cliff, before slowly placing him down. Gaara starts to stir and he sees a man sitting next to him, "Who are you?!" he coldly asks, summoning some sand.
"Well easy.. I'm the guy who saved you but more importantly.. I was the guy to beat some sense into you.. I even summoned a huge ass toad to do it but it that doesn't sway you" mitsuomi says and draws whiskers on his cheeks with some dirt. Gaara looked him over and a look a realization washes over him, "Nar-naruto?!.. But you were executed by Sasuke Uchiha.. I read the report" he says. Mitsuomi rubs the dirt off his cheeks, "Well.. I was reborn in a different place.. Lived and died a warrior's death.. Kami-sama asked me to return here as either Naruto or as Mitsuomi.. I chose this because.. Well I achieved more like this" he says and gaara places a hand on his shoulder.
"I see but what will you do.. Konoha is a cruel place now.. The Hokage was imprisoned and overthrown.. Martial law is in effect and anyone entering is subject to a rigorous screening even a Kage like myself.. However you may be able to get in.. With your new look and your chakra is low" gaara explains. Mitsuomi softly pats gaara on the shoulder but both sense several people approaching, "Kazekage huh.. Ok when they get here tell them.. I'm a Merc you hired my name is Mitsuomi Kiriyu.. Only to be activated if you were captured by someone.. If they ask why.. Tell them you gave me some of your sand" he explains.[music ends]
-Scene Break-
From the tree line emerge five people and three raise his ire, "Sakura.. Sasuke and Kakashi.. The other two are Temari and their teacher Baki" mitsuomi thought. Sakura's pink hair was in a high ponytail and she wears a white long sleeve shirt under a red coat that stops at her knees but open in the front, black boots with fishnet shorts under a black skirt. Sasuke wears black pants with boots, a fishnet armor shirt under a long black coat but half on and the right sleeve tucked in his pants with a sword across his back. Kakashi still wears the same clothes mitsuomi remembers but he notices the almost glazed over look in his visible eye. Baki was the same as he remembered, while temari grown quite pretty, dressed in a black battle kimono with a red obi with fishnet from the knee down into black shoes. Temari rushes to her brother, "Gaara thank Kami" she whispers but sees mitsuomi, "Who are you" she asks, defensively.
"He is a mercenary I hired when I first became Kazekage.. Only to be used in dire situations.. His name is Nar-I mean Mitsuomi Kiriyu" gaara explains.
"Why the Hell was he used.. When you have Someone like me" sasuke remarks and gaara glares at the uchiha.
"Because.. Someone like me doesn't hide behind status to get things done.. Lord Kazekage hired me to a job and I do it.. Unlike some people" mitsuomi interjects. Sakura clenches her fist, "Don't talk about Sasuke-kun like that.. He is a clan head" she shouts. Mitsuomi scoffs with a smirk, "One guy doesn't make a clan" he remarks. Sasuke level a deadly amount of killer intent as a light sneer forms, "Watch what you say Merc.. The last that did died like a traitor.. He tried to change the natural order of things" he states.
"Yeah that monster got what he deserved and what was the icing on the cake was our former Hokage giving him the news under Genjutsu.. It was hilarious how she broke down when we locked her up and told her the truth" sakura interjects. Mitsuomi's brow creases as he tries to stop an angry scowl forming, "I see.. Well Kazekage-sama if you will allow me.. I would like visit Konoha to promote trade with my homeland" he said.
"What homeland Mitsuomi-san" kakashi finally states. Mitsuomi glances to kakashi with a smirk, "It a land far beyond the Northern Elemental Borders.. As for trade.. We trade in Lives as Human weapons" he starts and taps his thumb on his chest.
"I am such a weapon.. If you like I can go to your great nation to offer my services" mitsuomi adds. Sasuke slowly gains a devious smirk as he looks over mitsuomi, "A human weapon huh" he states and looks to gaara, "Do you have any reservations" he adds.
"No.. His business is concluded with me for now.. He may go wherever he wishes" gaara says and sasuke smirks.
"Good then you can come with us Mitsuomi-san" kakashi states. Mitsuomi curtly nods and turns to face gaara with his left on his right shoulder, "Until later Brother" he says. Gaara places his hand on mitsuomi's right shoulder, "And too you" he replies, before they went their separate ways.
