Chapter Text
Shizuka wakes up on the floor of an alleyway.
She knows her brother is dead with a certainty that makes her eyes ache and bleed, and hates the power that is for the moment unused and dormant, and that will eventually blind her, but this time she is grateful for his sacrifice and Obito’s, even if she will never forgive them.
She knows that, if she is there, their plan worked and her team still has a fighting chance back home and that’s all that matters.
She isn’t sure where she was sent exactly, but the city night she can see from the alley resembles those from the memories of another life; she sees the little round and black demons floating around and another old memory comes forth, and then she knows where she is. It should be a surprise, it isn’t.

With her eyes and her training, it’s easy to create an identity and find the people she needs to find. The name she assumes resembles her true one and is common enough. Her background is shallow, but if she is careful, that would become an asset if powerful people takes notice of her.
She doesn’t know much about this world nor the future, not as much as she did back at home: the world and the people she had loved in two lives. But she knows enough and she landed in the right place and the right moment.

She stands at the front of the class in her new uniform. She transferred to finish her third year of middle school. She introduces herself and writes her name on the board. She wishes she will get along with everyone, she says and it’s true, but all of this was with the purpose of meeting a single person.
When she looks around the classroom, Okumura Rin smiles at her. She’ll take that as a good omen.
