Summary: In which Konoha's beloved jinchūriki finds herself in an odd new world with only Kurama by her side. He insists bijū bombs are the only way to fix this issue.
Genre: Friendships, Dark Humor, Violence / Action, Loving Someone is Scary,
About the MC: Miwa is a physically female character with ambiguous morals like nearly all Hunter x Hunter characters. You can interpret her as a female Naruto, or you can interpret her as Naruto's twin sister. I will be ambiguous and vague with references to her past.
Warnings: For those of you who have watched/read Hunter x Hunter you know this can get pretty violent / graphic. Naruto fans coming into this story with a fresh mindset, steel your nerves because this world can get brutal. The Chimera Ant Arc is... all kinds of epic fights, and fucked up shit.
Warnings for violence, gore, abuse, assault, murder, child endangerment / murder / assault / death / etc.
In regards to romance: They're twelve, so. . . any romance will reflect that.
In regards to canon divergence: Slow but steady. I know some readers want huge changes right away, so I'll save you the time and say no major changes happen at the start. It takes time to build the world and develop the relationships to justify the changes. Then it goes wildly AU by a certain arc. If that's not your thing, that's fine. Save yourself the time and energy, for this story will not satisfy you.
This was a weekly updated story updated Sunday starting 11/03/2019.
I began editing & revising this story to better fit the characters in preparation for the Dark Continent arc 01/06/2026. My goal is to have every arc update within one to two weeks.
(and, also, because I miss my friend and this story made me think of her.)
── ⋆⋅𖤓⋅⋆ ──
She awakens in the center of a crater charred, and still smoking. She finds herself staring up at a cloudless sky as blue as her eyes. She continues to gaze at it until she decides to sit up and look around.
'Where am I?' She questions, glancing about. The ground beneath her is warm to the touch, bits of smolder and embers glow faintly in cracks in the ground. She can't see the area above the crater, but can hear birds chirp and leaves rustle around her. The scent of pine catches on the wind and tickles her nose.
Nothing around her seems familiar, not even—
Not even—
Not even herself.
She looks down at her hands; small fingers flex at her whim.
They do not look like they belong to her, though.
'Were my hands always so small?'
. . .
There is no response to her thought, and for reasons beyond her understanding. . . that pains her.
Why is the silence upsetting?
Why is she here?
Who is she?
