NHRK Chapter 15

It took until lunchtime before the clones had reunited with a sort of placated Ino and Sakura. One of the clones had just hung out with Ino and the other had given Sakura a few more tips on tree walking drills, especially doing things like running and fighting.

By the end of it, Ino felt a lot better about being rejected and Sakura was a whole lot more comfortable in her own skin and interacting with Naruto. They also both agreed to be cordial enough to not kill each other on sight. Whi...

NHRK Chapter 14

Sakura and Ino stood facing each other. Ino didn’t change, having already worn her usual clothing which was versatile enough for any occasion. Sakura, however…

Naruto couldn’t help but gawk as Saukura unzipped her hoodie. Underneath she wore a red sports bra that hugged tight to her modest bosom and stopped right under it, revealing her tight midsection.

He blushed. It was…a lot more skin than his Sakura usually showed…like ever. She didn’t seem to notice his gaze thou...

Day 7

The first thing the next morning saw Ino Yamanaka standing outside the Uzumaki residence. Naruto had checked through the peephole after the wards were triggered. He’d marvelled when his mother explained the concept of it to him. He hoped he would have the opportunity sooner or later to get started on learning the Uzumaki clan fuinjutsu, despite his inability to sit still for long periods of time…as well as learning about other things.

Naruto placed his usual henge on h...

NHRK Chapter 12

Naruto was in the bathroom, letting the hot water of the shower head rain upon him. His thoughts were jumbled in a knot of memories. Memories of all the significant events that happened in his life earlier this evening. It was so…much. Anything and everything all at once.

Yet he felt…free…like sharing his memories to a few people he could trust lifted a giant boulder off his shoulders.

He sighed, using the soap to scrub in his arms. He usually took a quick cold shower in the...

NHRK Chapter 11

Hinata, just realising where her hand was, blushed and stepped back. The shock had calmed her but the situation was still uncertain. Would she walk out of this friendless and alone once again? Would she…would she have to once more endure an existence filled with loneliness?

Naruto must have seen the doubt creep back in her eyes because he continued. “We’re okay…and you’re okay. You have nothing to even feel sorry for. You don't have to be nervous about losing a friend...

Day 5

The night after, Naruto looked at the test in front of as if his eyes could light it on fire. Perhaps it could! Rinnegan and all.

He hated written tests, he was terrible at rote memorization of texts….or he just found reading things that didn’t interest him rather boring.

He sighed. The test hadn’t even begun.

“Are you ready to start?” Hiruzen asked.

They were in the Hokage’s house this time. Hiruzen invited them over for dinner as well as to ...

NHRK Chapter 9

Hinata was eager to meet her friend again.

After returning home yesterday, she had scoured her clan’s library for techniques other than the traditional juuken style that could be used alongside the byakugan.

She was met with little success… up until, out of a sense of intuition, she’d explored her father’s bookshelf –figuring that any non–orthodox clan technique would end up there and, lo and behold, she found her mother’s notebook.

As it turns out, her mother ...

NHRK Chapter 8

Naruto was waiting in the dining room, trying to swallow his nervousness.

‘It’s just Jiji, Naruto. Don’t freak out. Don’t freak out. Don’t freak out.’

He heard his mom opening the front door. “I’m glad you could make it!”

Then he heard the familiar and oh so nostalgic voice respond. It was a voice he hadn’t heard for years and almost made him tear up just listening to it.

“Of course I would make it Kushina. I wouldn’t miss it for the wo...

NHRK Chapter 7

That afternoon saw Naruto upon the front entrance of the Yamanaka shop whilst his mother set out upon meeting the Hokage. Naruto had told her about the Root situation in his old world and advised her to not let anything of importance spill in Hiruzen’s office. She told him that she was a big girl and could handle herself, much to his amusement.

She also apparently ran a fuinjutsu seal shop in the same clan district but had already arranged a manager–who she said had been desperate f...

NHRK Chapter 6

They held onto each other for what felt like hours but was actually only a few minutes.

They would have embraced for longer…

…had Naruto’s stomach not interrupted.

*Grooooowl*

Naruto blushed. “S–sorry.”

To his embarrassment, Kushina giggled. They let go of each other and Kushina’s smile could have melted him on the spot. She seemed so…joyful, so full of life. It was like something had been lifted off her shoulders, so far...

NHRK Chapter 5

Naruto was ready…He just needed to figure out how, exactly, he was going to introduce himself.

‘Hi, I’m Naruto, but not the Naruto you know because he’s dead–or at least that’s what I’ve heard–but a different Naruto from another world entirely that’s sort of similar to this world but not really. Anyways I didn’t really have a mother in that world but saw you in my mindscape after trying to unseal kurama and now I’m here in this world, and you’re alive and I�...
