The stars shine brightly above a small street in Konoha. Yua walks, their head held high and feet hitting the ground in a gentle rhythm. Every step takes them closer. Slowly, they come upon a temple, humming with contentment.

"Finally, after years... I found it again."

The stars shine brightly above. Yua's eyes nearly match them. The temple was going to be awesome.

It is unknown how many people seek my temple out. It's even harder to answer about how many people know of it's existence. Sure, I'm a deity, but deities are made to be respected! To be worshipped!

Sadly, I highly doubted that I would regain my lore, my followers, my people. The tailed beasts took all of the fear and worship for themselves, way back when. They didn't even need it to survive! So greedy...

But that's beside the point. You aren't here to listen to a millennium-old rabbit yammer about what was. You want to hear about Naruto, yes? The boy who saved the world? Well, which one?

You're probably confused. Let me dumb it down for your mortal brain. Every choice you make, there's another world that springs from it. Your kind calls it... the multiverse theory, if I remember right.

Most deities can see all of them. Every major mistake that humanity has seen, we've seen the outcome. It isn't pretty. At all. However, we have one guinea pig. A soul that remembers, one that has seen almost as much as we have.

She was Ahmya first. Then, Nisbett. Shiori, Sunako, and every other name that I can't recall. She's our favorite. At least, the favorite of the minor deities. She's seen it all so many times that she knows what will happen. It's gotten boring.

But now? She's Hiroko. She's going to be more interesting this time around. Us deities did our part at the beginning of the timeline, so she'll have a task.

End the Fourth Shinobi War before it ends you.
