Who am I? (Naruto Fanfic)

56,

Tw: mentions of blood and suicide

When you reached out, the young boy turned and stared directly at you before he waved lightly with a bright smile and snapped his fingers, and within a moment you were back in.. reality?

Naruto held you, eyes wide. "Are you okay..?" He asked, trying to act calm, but his voice shook and told you otherwise. "What? Why?" You questioned back, confused. "You grabbed a kunai and tried to stab yourself!" Naruto spoke in disbelief, holding out the kunai. "Oh.. sorry." You apologized, suddenly bursting out into tears. Confusion overwhelmed you as you wiped the tears with your sleeves, looking down. "I miss my home." You blurted, staring ahead. When you lived here, you slowly forgot about your original reality.

You felt Naruto tightly hug you, but you simply continued to silently cry, all the memories returning to you.

"Do you promise me that you'll follow your own mind and heart?" "Yeah, I promise."

"I promise I'll protect you until the end, don't forget this.." "I'll try to protect you too!"

"Together forever?" "Stop being so cheesy, Takahiro."

Then, you again stood at the other universe, standing at the rooftop and staring at yourself. This time, Takahiro wasn't here, and your shoes were neatly put aside, while you wore a plain white dress and stared down the building. You reached out, realizing what was happening. "Don't do it!" You yelled without thought, and your small self simply turned a bit. "Shut up.." the other girl whispered before she removed her socks and tossed it aside, then all her accessories, including bracelets and necklaces, her eyes void of any expression.

You ran forward and tried to grab her arm, but she had already jumped. You stared in horror. You felt aghast and strange about this whole scenario. Then you realized. This was the last thing that happened to you before you had entered this world. You weren't in a bed like you thought you were when you first came, you fell— to your.. death? You turned to see Takahiro running towards the ledge, and he cried in dismay as he stared after the unfortunate girl.

"YOU TOLD ME YOU'D NEVER LEAVE!" He yelled, tears pouring down his face, sirens echoing in the distance as he broke down, grabbing the coat you gave him and crying into it. You stared at him, feeling your heart shatter as he cried into the coat. "Why does it always turn out like this?" He whispered, his voice losing hope. "Everytime.." he murmured, leaning down in disappointment. "Does it have to be a world without you?"

You watched as the hope and will of the boy drained. As you tried to approach him, everything blacked out before you appeared at the grassy field again. "Hey, don't worry." Takahiro smiled, wiping the tears from your face. "I'm sorry I keep on dragging you into drama.." the girl whispered. "It's only happened once.." he said, forcing a smile.

Then another blackout.

"Please trust yourself more.." Takahiro begged you, seeming desperate.

Then another after another, until you stopped in a room, staring back at a bloody Takahiro who held a knife, tears streaming  down his face. "Make it stop." You both whispered, both horrified at what you two kept on experiencing. "Please stop hurting yourself!" Takahiro begged, crying out in desperation. You stared, no words escaping your mouth. "You made me go crazy! I wanted it all to end. I'm sorry." He whimpered, slowly falling to the floor. That's when you noticed yourself, nearly the same age as your current self, dead on the floor beneath Takahiro. All the organs were dragged out from the corpse, and a red light streamed into the room, shining down on the blood that coated the Japanese style room.

"Please.." he pleaded, hugging your corpse. You pat his head, and smiled warmly despite the fact being horrified. "Don't worry, Takahiro." You told him. "We'll both find our homes. I'm almost there." You whispered, and he stared at you. "I'm learning." You grinned widely, nearly throwing up at the amount of blood. This amount of gore was horrifying.

Takahiro nodded and slowly walked forward and hugged you. "Thank you." He whispered. "I hope this isn't another flashback." You murmured, to which he laughed lightly.

You jolted back into reality again and gasped, holding and shaking your head as you tried to get the memories away. Naruto held you in place, unsure and shocked at your sudden panicked behavior. "Calm down," Naruto tried to tell you, eyes wide. You were hyperventilating, looking around frantically before Shikamaru quietly hit your neck, hitting the vagus nerve and causing you to go dizzy. You stared up into the sky before you fell unconscious.

You slowly opened your eyes and sat up, holding your head and sighing. Slowly your memories returned, but you managed to stay calm and put for the first few minutes. You began to panic again, shaking your head in horror and sorrow. "Make it stop." You cried, feeling like your head might explode. The first one who came in to help was Deidara. He rushed over and tightly hugged you.

"It's ok. You don't have to worry, un." He whispered, the pressure on your body allowing you to calm down a bit.  He didn't let go. "It took you a month to come back." He informed you, before letting you go and standing up. "A war has been declared against us, yeah." He added, scratching the back of his head. "We lost Kisame and Sasori. Pein was killed by Naruto when Naruto protected his village. Zetsu also dropped by to tell us that all we need is the eight tails chakra. Takahiro, Sasuke, and two others who teamed with Sasuke went to receive the chakra. They should be returning at midnight." He smiled.

You nodded, tasking all the information in without a problem. "Alright.. can you help me get to the medicine.." you grumbled, holding your hand out for him to grab. "Yeah," Deidara agreed without hesitation and began to slowly direct you to the box of medicine. "Thanks." You mumbled, slowly bending down. You grabbed a small amount of ashwagandha, valerian, and chamomile.

You slowly drank the hot drink, zoning out while Deidara molded his clay in the distance. You thought deeply about what you saw. Surely it was just you being delusional? "Or am I reality shifting? Maybe I'm dreaming.. exhaustion.."

That night, Sasuke and Takahiro returned, and you were informed that the mission was a failure. Once they saw you were awake, Takahiro rushed forward to hug you, and Sasuke sighed in relief. "I'm sorry I wasn't there." He apologized, running his fingers through your hair. You stared into the abyss, not being able to think of any words to speak.

You hugged him back, and tears began to fall. "I'm sorry." You apologize, closing your eyes. "I promise I'll take us both home, and we'll be adults in our own home." You whispered, more visions flashing across your mind and causing you to hug him tighter.

Takahiro's eyes widened with shock, realizing what you meant. "So you saw it all.." he murmured, disappointment in his voice. "Please don't be reckless." He quietly told you, his voice nothing but a quiet plea. You nodded eagerly.

"Let's get ready. Give me the formation for the reincarnation jutsu. We'll start with the strong people first." You decided, and Deidara nodded. You slowly turned to Deidara and smiled. "It's time for you to show off your art in this war, and you'll be famous. Maybe we'll all be written in history as a legend." You laughed, amusement in your eyes.

"Who killed Sasori and Kisame?" You asked. "The same people who killed them last time." Takahiro quietly hummed. "Oh.. shame." You murmured, quietly sighing in devastation. You drank the rest of your tea before standing. "We'll attack the army in ten days," you began, only to be cut off by Zetsu.
