[John]
John was sitting on his couch when suddenly perked up as his ears heard air shifting, and soon out of nowhere, came a blue-skinned being that scared John. It had blood red devil-like horns, eyes that had black sclera and baleful yellow irises, impossibly long spiky white hair, fangs for teeth, and flowing white robes, but worst of all, to John, it was somehow familiar. "Hello John, I've come to you with an offer." The being offered. "What is this offer, and what are you?" John asked. "I am Shinigami, or death for simpler terms, to answer your second question." the being replied. "What is the offer, shinigami?" John questioned."I want you to go to one of the worlds I collect souls from to help an abused orphan grow up, to help that child be the best person he can be. This child has suffered severe abuse for something out of his control, and I feel disgusted at the people who had abused him. Accept this offer, and you may ask one thing of me in return." Shinigami replied."Revive his mother, I cannot raise the child alone." John stated.
"Very well, but to make things easier, you must go through some changes." Shinigami sighed. "What changes?" John asked. "Your body must be de-aged to the point of a 8 year old, this is to make sure you adjust to the world easily, and to make things simpler, you will gain all knowledge of their customs, history, and language. I will also let you have five requests of me in the other world, and I hope that you treat Uzumaki Naruto well, otherwise when we meet again when you die, I will enjoy consuming your soul." Shinigami replied. John nodded, and then realized something as Shinigami faded out of existence with a smile."Uzumaki...naruto?! I'm going to the narutoverse?! Oh kami I just released hell on the Konoha civilians, cause once naruto's mother, Kushina, catches onto what the villagers had done to naruto, there won't be many civilians in Konoha." John muttered. Oi, voice, who or what the hell are you anyways? John asked the voice. You know me already, just look at the recent events. The voice spoke, its tone laced with sarcasm and a tiny amount of venom.
Let's see...Shinigami appeared, then the...fox...ears and tail...you're Kurama, the nine tailed fox, aren't you? John asked. Right on the dot, puny human. Kurama replied. I'm so, so sorry for how humanity treated you in the elemental nations...wait, how is this even possible? John asked the fox.
Mental link set up by shinigami by my request, I'd like to know who would help my container, and I approve of you. Betray my trust however, I WILL find a way to kill you! Kurama replied. Okay...why would I betray yours or naruto's trust though? John asked Kurama. Just warning you now, boy. Kurama replied. John nodded as he sighed. "Well, it's going to be one hell of a long day tomorrow..." John groaned as he trudged to his bedroom, falling onto his bed and letting sleep take him.
John woke up and saw he was in some white ethereal plane. John then noticed the other two people standing there, Shinigami and someone else John recognized. She had long crimson hair, brown eyes, and wore a white shirt under a olive green dress. "Are you the one who asked Shinigami to revive me?" Kushina Uzumaki asked.
"Yes, I asked Shinigami to revive you to help raise naruto." John replied. Kushina smiled as she sighed.
"Um, Shinigami, I'm going to have chakra right? I mean I can't survive in the Elemental Nations if I don't." John asked the death god. "It seems you failed to notice the chakra flowing through you, actually, you probably did but dismissed it as a fever or something." Shinigami replied with an amused grin. John nodded with an embarrassed grin as he did dismiss the flowing chakra as a strange fever. "Since you also look like one, you shall be of Uzumaki descent, which means natural skills at kenjutsu and Fuuinjutsu, as well as abnormal chakra reserves." Shinigami added. John nodded with a grin. "Thank you, Shinigami." John murmured.
"Now hold on, this will hurt, but it will be worth it to see all the souls I will eventually collect with you in the mix now." Shinigami stated with an amused grin as it flashed through handsigns.
John couldn't remember anything else after that except for pain. So much kami damn pain! When it was over, John cracked his eyes open to see a brilliant blue sky, giant trees all around him. John sat up to feel his fox tail and ears were still there but were smaller, and his clothes had shrunk to his now 8-year old body. John then turned to see Kushina was still unconscious, leaned up against a tree in the same olive green dress and white undershirt, black sandals on her feet. Oi, Kurama, you there? John asked. No answer.
Damn, guess it was just-Hmm? Did you say something human?-HOLY HELL FOX! DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT! John thought. Kushina began to wake up, and then she shot to her feet, looking about wildly. "That wasn't a dream?" Kushina asked as she saw John. "No, it wasn't. Welcome back to the land of the living." John replied with a grin. You should go under a new name, John Matthews is a strange name here. Kurama advised. "I think I need a new name, since my old one would probably be weird here." John admitted.
Several possibilities flashed through John's mind until he found a good one. "Uzumaki Korun, that's my name now." John spoke with a grin. "Well Korun, let's go!" Kushina stated, and the two were off for Konoha, talking about the history of the Elemental Nations.
