1 Chapter1: Beginning Anew

|dark realm|

In a realm of complete darkness, a place of black so dark you could cut it with a knife.

*tap *tap

Sounds echoed across it, the floor if it was a floor moved like water. A figure could be seen walking in a straight line, every step the figure took, sent water like ripples outward.

The ripples went on forever, no matter how many steps the figure took the ripples never collided. The figure soon stopped, it's body the only white in this place. No face, no distinct features or anything. Just something that was alone, it didn't seem to mind as it sat on the floor.

"Have you made your mind up yet, little one." A voice came from everywhere around the figure, a sweet, loving voice rang out in the vast darkness.

"I think I have, goddess." The white figure spoke finally.

"You were walking for quite a while,I'm surprised you were able to walk so far with out going mad. Well I shouldn't be so surprised, you really are special." The voice spoke again.

"I find this place peaceful, somewhere I can actually think. Your realm really is the place i thought I'd be forever but I don't think I would really mind." The figure stood, talking in a low voice.

"Only someone like you would say that, still enough of me and this place. Will you tell me your hearts desires?" The goddess spoke.

"I have one question, even though my sudden heart attack was strange. It's not like I was killed by a random truck, or some freak accident. Why am I being given a second chance?" The figure asked a question he had been thinking about for a while.

"In the end it was my fault, your presents in that world did so much good, yet so much evil followed close behind. The worlds balance hangs between both light and dark, yet you were grey. You did not hide your hate or love in anything. You walked between both. So the world rejected you, for all the good you did, it seemed miss fortune will always follow. Until I could not watch anymore, I brought you here to ask you to move on, to another place. Anywhere so you could live as you want." The goddess spoke.

"No friends, no family, I killed in wars and taught in schools. Yet something was always off, like I was in the background. I made weapons with the money I had and built large poverty and community centers. Yet I was looked over, no matter what I did. The only time I felt at peace was when I was alone reading or watching anime. The sudden heart attack didn't bother me. Because outside that large house there was nothing for me." The figure spoke, with understanding in its voice.

"I know, I am truly sorry. Now you can go anywhere! To any place you would like, I will not let it reject you this time around. So tell me, where do you wish to go?" The goddess spoke, while the world had screen like things open. In each was a world I knew, either I had read or watch. From DxD all the way to the predators universe.

"Amazing." Was the only word the figure could say, spinning as he looked at each world.

"It truly is but I know what you truly wish to see." The goddess spoke as a small screen formed in front of him.

In the screen was a anime he knew all to well. He watched as it was one of his favorite yet saddest parts. Watching itachi walk forward to Sasuke, still making him believe he wanted his eyes. Only to finally reach him, unable to keep his façade, he tapped Sasuke's forehead and spoke some words no one could hear, watching as itachi passed away with a smile on his face.

"Sorry Sasuke, this is it." The figure spoke the words that weren't heard.

"This world truly does suit you." The goddess spoke in the background.

"I want this world, goddess."

"So be it, now tell me all your desire's, I will tell you what I can do." The goddess spoke knowing this is what he truly wanted.

"I'm sure you know what I want, I want to be in the middle. Born into that middle brother role. I would like to have a jutsu to bring someone back, at a price if I have to. I want to be strong in Taijutsu, a long with having the ability like kenshiki to strengthen my body without having to use that mark like lady tsunade, even saying that I want my main focus to be agility and genjutsu. As for my ocular abilities, i want the same power I wrote before when I thought about writing a fanfic. Other then that I have nothing else." The figure spoke, waiting for a while for the goddess to speak again.

"Bringing the dead back would come at a great price, I'm sorry but I can not, there are things you must do to change some fates. That being said, I know of the three people you want to save. I will allow the jutsu to be used 3 times, listen little one. This will come at a price be careful on who you will bring back. I can give you kenshiki's strength technique to a certain extent but you will have to train, there is no free ride. Agility and genjutsu will be your main focus, you will have no equal in it If trained to its fullest, outside of time and space ninjutsu. Well except for those otsutsuki, even though I don't think they really use it. As for your ocular abilities, fine you may have them. Know this, I can not stop the problem that comes with them, yours will be slowed down but you know the way you will need to keep the light from fading." The goddess spoke, with worry in her voice.

'That is fine, then I can just bring him back and. . ." The figure was going to keep going only to be let down.

"You can not. . . Bring him back, it will go the way it did before, even with your interference. It will not change his want, his sacrifice and goals are who made him that person. His wish will still be to die by his little brothers hands. I am sorry, that is his will." The goddess said with a sad tone.

"Then his sickness? Can I change that?" The figure spoke.

"No not completely at least. Some peoples fate are fully rooted in that world, you will need to change them with your own two hands. I already know what your thinking, a extension of me in a way will deal with that. That is all I can do." The goddess voice had spoken on what I was thinking, yet the answer to my question was met with disappointment.

"Then can I take the sickness?" The figure pleated.

"Yes you can take most of it, still a cure for it you will need to find on your own or give the task to another." The goddess spoke again.

"Fine, then that's it. I will do the rest myself. Goddess, thank you truly." The figure said feeling grateful.

"I know you will find a way. Would you like to pick how you will look?".

"Never thought of it, I guess um, give me short black hair like obito. I want the long tear troughs like itachi and my face can be cute? I don't really know? Just make it how you think it should look." The figure spoke not really knowing what to say.

"It will be done, what about your name?" The goddess asked.

"Um. . . I guess I like the name oketsu?" The figure shook its head thinking.

"Very well, do enjoy your new life, oketsu." The goddess let out a giggle.

"Where do i go?" The figure didn't see anything happening. Confused he asked.

"Open your eyes. . ." The goddess spoke, her words sounding weird as she did so, the figure's body felt heavy. Feeling like he was falling as he closed his eyes, opening them up again.

When opening them, he was no longer in that realm. He looked up to a wooden ceiling, only to have a figure's face move over head.

"You finally opened your eyes, My little oketsu." A woman's voice spoke as she rubbed my face. Reaching my little hands out to her face. I touched it and giggled.

'It's really happening, it's really her, mikoto.' I thought, seeing her smile at my giggle as she laid back, nestling me right next to her face. Soon I could no longer keep my eyes open, I let out a tiny noise as my eyes closed and we fell asleep.
