Living Through Time (BEING REWRITTEN)

Waking up

'Ugh... my head.'

It was the first thought the Uchiha had once waking up. Eyes still closed, not wanting to be opened yet, he listened to the sweet melody of nature.

'Wait, nature?!' He immediately sit up, wincing at the sudden headache he got from doing so. It was the first time in years he felt pain, making him even more confused than before.

He looked around, instead of seeing a war zone filled with corpses, he was met with a peaceful forest overflowing with life.

Birds were chirping.
Flowers were blooming.
As if nothing ever happened.

Then he remembered.

The Sage, the talk, going in the past, a justu...

He was alive, everyone was alive. Literally nothing has ever happened.

Yet.

He stayed like that, enjoying the warmth of the sun delicately touching his skin, the feeling of the grass softly caressing his hands and the calm breeze gently messing his curly hair.

He had never noticed how much he missed those small things.

But even if he wanted to stay like that, he knew he had something to do.

So, with a small grunt, he pushed himself to stand on his feet. He got an Hokage to talk to and a world to save.

•*•*•*•*•

Shisui knew where Konoha was.

If he woke up at the same location of Naruto's death, that would mean he was already in the fire country, more precisely at the South of the village hidden in the leaves.

So he went North.

He didn't bother using any justu to go faster, he wanted to take as much time as possible to appreciate the beauty of nature.

Don't judge him, the behavior is quite normal when you understand that there were almost no trees left after the war. The jutsus that were used during that time were astronomical. The thought that people were actually able to survive that was absolutely crazy.

So it was an understatement that the landscape was quite new for the teen. He walked for about three hours at a civilian pace. Never once tiring up or stopping to take a break.

If his memories were rights, which they certainly were, he was only a few miles away from Konoha. He calmly made his way in that direction, thoughts drifting into space.

But he suddenly stopped.

His mind was thinking of what to do once he would have set a foot in the village. Then he noticed that it would be a terrible idea to go there the way he was now.

Like honestly, how would the guards, or in fact anyone react if they saw Shisui Uchiha casually walk past the gates of Konohagakure?

Badly, that's for sure.

'I'm stupid' He deadpanned.

So, with a sigh, Shisui henged himself and made a short detour to a civilian village where he *cough* *cough* borrowed a huge ass black coat.

He will be damned if the Hokage didn't notice the henge, so at least the black coat would prevent that.

'...Wait... wouldn't that make me even MORE suspicious?'

"..."

You know what? He wasn't in the mood to deal with this.

At first he thought he could act as civilian to pass the gates incognito, but fuck it. They will notice anyway so why not just go for it.
