Silent Second Life (A Naruto Reincarnation Quest) Completed

Before the Party

-[X]Get some Help: The paranoia that you and Oro feel is not natural... You know it, Oro knows it and your parents know it... They want to send you to a therapist, someone that your parents go to discuss their own... problems. Rolled:1D100 => 6

Dr. Kujo looked at the file. And then looked at you. He had been doing that for the last hour, wanting you to talk to him. Finally, he just asked the same question over and over again."Alright, Ms. Kuruma… I just want to know how you feel right now?"

You did not want to be here. "Why do you keep asking that?" You asked. The tenth time was just as annoying as the first.

"I want to help you." He stated. "The fact you had to go through hostile territory with your friends is regrettable." Dr. Kujo stated. "May I ask… Why do you not feel safe?"

Memories flooded your mind. All your friends slept back to back with one another, with the trees as cover. It did not matter who slept behind who… only that their backs were covered.

You trusted them with your life and with your them… without them, how could you feel safe?

"Because my back is exposed without anyone to watch it." Not a lie, and not true either.

Dr. Kujo looked at the ticking clock. "I'm sorry, but time has run out." He then held out his hand. "Same time next week, Ms. Kuruma?"

You nodded.

When you fell asleep that night, Oro's back was against yours.

It was the first good night of sleep you had for weeks.

Reward: The Trust you give to your friends is something that has been noticed by all of the village. Aka is slightly less worried about your mental wellbeing now that you are seeking counseling.

-[X]Spend time with your Mother: Your mother's glad you are back Rolled:1D100 => 99

There was no big party planning on this day… it was just you and your mother talking about baby names for your little brother.

Your mother wanted to name him Yukimaru, while you wanted to name him Kenji or Akira.

It was time well spent, in your mind at least.

You hoped that your little brother will not have to face the horrors that you had to face.

Maybe you will be the one who will make sure it won't happen.

But right now… you were just happy. Happy to see the world did not die while you were out there on the road.

Reward: Hope has sprung up, as your mind heals… together you can win.

-[X]Spend Time with Sakumo: The older silver-haired boy is getting back into the groove of being back home. Rolled:1D100 => 80

Sakumo sat down next to you. "How's everything with you?" He asked.

"Going to a counselor. You?"

"On restricted medical leave until my psyche evaluation gets through… D-Ranks only." Sakumo stated. "They're boring."

"But is it better than on the road?" You asked… trying to look at the brighter side.

Sakumo smiled under his mask. "Any mission is better than that."

--[x] Ask for his help in organizing a study/training group for our friends so we can start to feel safe again. Rolled: 1D100 => 5

"Can I get your help Sakumo?" You asked. The idea to keep everyone together.

"I can't… between me having to get ready for the chunin exams and my dad needing me to help him with some work…"

"I understand."

Reward: Sakumo can't help you, but seeing him again makes you feel safer. Sakumo is glad you still care about being friends with him.

-[X]Train Genjutsu: It's good to be home learning from your mom.(Mom will Teach You more Genjutsu) Rolled:1D100 => 9

Your mother couldn't train you this time, being pregnant and all that jazz. She has to monitor her chakra usage so it does not get below a certain level, as to not negatively affect the baby.

--[x] Ask her to include some of the others who want to come or perhaps offer tutoring to the group? Rolled: 1D100 => 71

She smiled "Of course Ayako… But, after your brother is born."

Reward: You can now train with your friends after your brother is born.

-[X]Spend time with Asahi: Asahi has invited you to one of her clan functions… something about honoring you for some reason. Rolled:1D100 => 1
--[x] If refusing to come would offend her clan, accept gracefully but don't hide our above opinion.

You froze. Your Yukta made you feel naked, unprotected. So many people were staring at you. And you were alone, without any of your friends beside you.

Asahi had to leave early, something about one of the clan's insect breeders needing to make sure her hives repair work was not rushed, or affected by malnutrition.

The whole thing made you sick, being honored alone when others were needed to survive as well. You made it clear to the Aburame clan that you were not the sole reason Asahi was still alive.

That your friends were equally worthy of this reward, and that them forgetting about them made you sick to your stomach.

And then you ran away from the party, going to the one place you knew that no one but mourners would disturb you.

--[x] This is wrong. We only survived because we had each other and we should remember that. We couldn't protect her colony without everyone keeping watch. Make a separate Crusader event celebrating simply coming out of that ordeal alive. Rolled: 1D100 => 83

A few hours later, you were in front of the memorial stone, holding a small candle in your hands.

The names of the dead academy students… your classmates were already carved into the stone. One after another. Along with the seven ninjas that died trying to rescue you.

Soon, the others joined you, each with a candle in hand.

Yoshi, Ren, Eien, Tsunade, Minako, Sakumo, Jiraiya, Asahi… all of them gathered to remember your classmates.

"I'm sorry." Asahi said. "I-"

"It's okay." Your tears had long since dried. "Lets just… stand here for a while."

You all stayed until morning… your candles finally burning out.

Reward: The Aburame clan is slightly upset that you ran out of the party.

The Crusaders cement their bond.

-[X]Spend time With Orochimaru: The Snake boy is having a hard time adjusting to living with a family again. Rolled:1D100 => 85

Every day when you woke up, he was close by, snoring against the wall, without the kunai. The motions of the day were not something he was used to. He was always up before dawn than going to the Academy, spending time with friends there, before coming to an empty home, making himself some food before going to bed.

Being with a family again, he was not used to it. But you helped him get through the new motions.

Waking up, eating breakfast together, academy, friends… coming home to a home where someone was waiting for him.

The first days were almost too much for him to handle… but he managed just fine after the shock.

And while the cycle of sleeping against each other's backs came back, Orochimaru became a very good pillow.

Reward: Orochimaru is loved, and whatever was left of his dark impulses are buried in the loving warmth of your family.

-[x]Spend Time with Jiraiya: The white-haired boy is always writing things down in his notebook. Maybe some ideas from your past life can help him.
--[x] Alternatively, our recent experiences should make good writing material and doing so could be therapeutic, even if we'll have to cut out and alter certain things for safety's sake. Some of the others could contribute.Rolled:1D100 => 70

"You think writing about it would be better?" Jiraiya asked.

You nodded. "Yeah… and if we all write it together... maybe it will be the world's next great novel."

Jiraiya nodded. "I'm going to need some time to write it."

"Take all the time you need." You replied. "We'll be there to help you."

Reward: Jiraiya starts writing 'The Brotherhood of Konoha: The Children's Crusaders'

Any help you give him will make it better.

-[X]Shadow Powers: You are ready to let the beast experience the world, as your shadow, your stand… as your friend. (Must be taken with Name the beast) Rolled:1D100 => 90

"I am ready Ayako Kurama." The beast said.

You nodded, channeling your chakra into your shadow. It moved on its own, before separating itself from your body, and beginning to bubble.

The shadow grew, rising in stature until it was standing as tall as Sakumo. The yellow eyes it had flickered from red and then back to yellow.

It was that of a young boy, with wild shaggy hair, his shadowy form covered in your past lives words medieval tunic and scarf.

A smile was on his face. "Hello, Ayako."


Reward: The beast can now take your shadow to assist you in battle. With this sign of trust, you are now a chunin rank of your Kekkei Genkai: Mondai-jō no Kokoro (Mind Over Matter).

-[X]Name the Beast: It is time to Name the Beast… a sign of trust and respect. Rolled:
--[x]After that mess it feels wrong not to.

"What am I to be called Ayako Kurama. So that the world will learn to fear you, and I."

What do you name the beast?:
