Prologue

-In a certain apartment during midnight

A young girl in her early twenties blew her nose with a tissue.

"Ahh! Nothing beats binge-watching Itachi's arc on a peaceful night after work!" Sayumi cried while wiping her eyes.

"There's no one who can beat me when it comes to knowing everything about "Naruto"! I wish I could live in a world with chakra… Even better if it was with Itachi…" She giggled as she closed her laptop. Just then, her stomach growled.

"Ah, all my emotions piling up caused me to become hungry… I guess I'll take a quick stop at the convenience store before going to sleep for the night."

Sayumi grabbed a light jacket and her wallet and walked out into the fresh air. She hummed "Blue Bird" as she walked through the quiet streets to the store, and quickly browsed through the aisles before deciding on ice cream.

As Sayumi walked out of the sliding doors with the ice cream in her mouth, she shivered, noticing that it was slightly windier than it was just a couple minutes ago, and sped up her pace to get home. Sayumi reached the street and pressed the button on the post, waiting for the crosswalk to change signs. She heard the sound of a car speeding closer, but didn't pay attention because the stoplight had turned yellow. Any second now and she would be able to walk across the street.

Suddenly, a huge gust of wind blew through the air, so strong that it threw Sayumi's balance off.

"Wha-?" She cried as she wobbled on her feet. She regained her balance and threw her hands up, trying to shield herself while waiting for the wind to die down. Sayumi was 5 feet 4 inches, and although it wasn't a short height, she was on the slim side at 105 pounds, so it was hard to fight against the force of the wind.

But she was hit with a second wave of wind, this time an even stronger one, and before she knew it, she had tripped over her feet into the street.

It was as if everything was going in slow motion in Sayumi's eyes. As she fell into the street, her eyes widened as she saw the car come closer, its yellow lights flashing at her…

Bam!

Sayumi's world turned black for a few seconds. As the pain forced her to regain consciousness, she opened her eyes to the dark night sky. Groaning, she tried to move her body, but it was as if her whole figure had gone numb; she couldn't feel anything.

Sayumi tried to turn her head slightly, and she whimpered as she saw her bloodied body. She painstakingly turned her head to the side, but all she saw was a pool of blood near her head. Her ice cream had flown away a small distance, the cream melting away into the black asphalt.

"Hey! Are you ok?! Oh my gosh, it's just a young girl! The wind-" Sayumi heard a man's voice off in the distance, but it was already too late. Her breathing was getting slower, and her world was starting to fade out into black.

I still needed to watch Boruto… she thought as she slowly closed her eyes.

"Child," a voice rang out.

Sayumi gasped awake and found herself in a room filled with white. She blinked.

That's weird, she thought. I was going to the convenience store after watching "Naruto Shippuden," and then… That's right. Sayumi's eyes started to fill with tears and she hugged her arms to herself.

I died…

"Child," A voice sounded again. Sayumi turned to the direction of the voice and saw a person dressed in white and gold. She squinted her eyes. The man was beautiful and was giving off an ethereal glow. Wait. Normal people don't glow.

"I am the god of life," The man introduced himself, and he bowed his head to Sayumi. "I'm sorry, I was quarreling with the god of death, and you were caught up in our dispute. The sudden change in weather was caused from our clashing energies."

Sayumi listened to his words and her eyes narrowed. So basically I died for nothing?

The god quickly spoke up when he saw her expression.

"Do not fret, my child," He consoled her. "I am the god who gives life, and your life has been unfairly taken due to my act of selfishness. Therefore, I am willing to give you another life. A rebirth anywhere you want. You can tell me your wishes. I will grant whatever you desire."

"Another… life…" Sayumi repeated his words. Sure, it was unfair to die so suddenly, but did she want to go through school again? She wondered if she had any regrets.

I did not get to finish the new Naruto series… Wait.

"I want to be reborn in Naruto's world," She blurted out.

The god stared at her. "Naruto…? As in the anime… Naruto?"

Sayumi nodded vigorously. "I want to make a world where I save and make Itachi happy!"

The god stared at Sayumi even harder in disbelief.

"You want to be reborn to live for someone else's happiness? What about your own happiness?"

"Just being by Itachi's side would fill me with joy!" She answered cheerfully.

"I see… I never would have expected this kind of response," The god laughed softly.

"Very well. For someone like you I wouldn't mind giving you a little extra gift. Name any powers you would like."

"Then, I want to be super OP!"

"… Ah?"

"I want to be unbeatable! And super smart! And talented in medical ninjutsu! And really good at genjutsu, taijutsu, and ninjutsu! And I want the Rinnegan, Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and Byaku-"

"Wait wait wait!" The god held up his hands. "That's a bit too much, don't you think?"

"… You promised anything…"

"Ugh," The god pinched the space between his eyes. "Even all that would be a bit too much for me… How about this? I will make you a prodigy, so you will be able to learn anything you desire. As for the eyes… giving all three of those is beyond me, so please give up one of them."

Sayumi pouted for a second, then thought hard.

"… Byakugan…" She said grudgingly.

"All right then, I'll grant you everything else," He smiled and raised his hand.

"Wait." Sayumi interrupted him.

"Yes?" The god lowered his hand.

"Could you grant me one more jutsu?"

"What jutsu?"

Sayumi breathed in deeply. "I… I want to be able to use Rinne Rebirth but… I want to be able to use it without dying, and more than once."

The god gasped in disbelief and his smile thinned into a frown. "Are you not being selfish with this request? To not die from using such a skill…"

"Please!" Sayumi begged. "I won't use it unnecessarily! I have a whole plan for this! Please! It's for my happiness!"

"You…" the god sighed. "Even for me that is too big of a request… After all, I am the god of life. Those who die at their time should remain dead."

Sayumi's head sank. What if…?

"How about if I use it I'll fall into a coma for a long time? And to prove that I won't use it too much you can make the time I fall asleep longer the more I use it?" She suggested.

The god pondered her words. He sighed. "Fine. But I'm adding a condition. You will be almost invincible as long as you act smart. But that will not be the case after you use that technique. You will have a few minutes before you fall into a coma, and in those few minutes you will be vulnerable. After all, it is a huge technique that takes up a lot of chakra. You will also be very awake for a while after waking up, until your chakra fully returns."

Sayumi agreed in a heartbeat. "I agree to your terms."

The god sighed once more. He had met with a tough one, but her heart seemed pure. It seemed that he wouldn't be bored for a long time watching over her.

"It's time for you to go now," He said as he raised his hands again. A bright light formed in his palm and grew brighter and brighter, forcing Sayumi to cover her face with her hands. The god's body became enveloped in a gold light as well, and Sayumi felt his warmth surround her. His voice grew in volume and rang powerfully in the air.

"To fulfil your requests, I won't be able to return your memories until you are a certain age in that world. And your living conditions will be a bit harsh. But it is all for your sake. It is up to you to decide how you want to live, whether it's to waste your life or to spend it wisely. With that said, I wish you good luck and happiness in your new life. Remember that I'm always by your side. Now go, and embrace your new self!" He cried, and Sayumi felt the warmness envelope her.

"Thank you," She smiled as the world turned an even brighter white and cut off her vision.

A/N: Hello, I'm back! I've been working on this one ever since I finished my last story, but I wasn't sure I wanted to post it before I finished the whole story, because I didn't want to potentially become a flake who might ditch her story in the future… However, it is the new year, so I thought I would make it a goal to finish this story. It'll definitely be difficult. I have very hard classes this upcoming school quarter (15 hours of lab yooo kms) so I don't think I will be able to type new chapters often. However, I have a little over 20 chapters typed up, so hopefully that will last until summer break lmao. I will be posting the first chapter shortly after this so you guys can choose if this story piques your interest or not. See you later!
