Remix

Summary:

You know the drill. Random person from the real world gets isekaied into the Naruto universe, tries to use their knowledge of the future to fix things.

Except, I didn't get isekaied into the canon universe. I got isekaied into a different one, where Minato and Kushina are alive, Obito is loyal to Konoha but Rin is dead, there's apparently a completely different masked Uchiha running around causing trouble, and the civilian council exists and fucking LOVES me and my family in contrast to every edgy fanfic ever.

Hello, Truck-kun? I believe you sent me to the wrong universe by mistake.

Notes:

I've been working on this fic idea for months and I'm so excited to actually implement it. It's gone through several mutations as I brainstormed ideas for it, until I finally got it to the point where I was happy with the plotline I had laid out - what if someone got isekaied into Naruko's body in a universe that had already had a For Want of a Nail moment - specifically, Obito winds up returning to Konoha after witnessing Rin die. Everything that's different about this world compared to canon is a direct result of this single deviation.

I want to say in advance that there won't be any bashing in this fic. I also wanted to turn a lot of edgy fanfiction tropes on their head. I sought to subvert most of the tropes that plague self-insert fics in writing this - one reason why I, as the title suggests, remixed the world a bit.

Chapter 1: Childhood Arc 1: Get isekaied, lmao

Chapter Text

You know, after getting hit by a fucking TRUCK, I was certainly expecting my life to be over. I'd lived a short life (how old was I again? weirdly, I don't remember), but I'd had fun at least.

I was certainly not expecting my second(?!?!?!) life to start with me, age three, suddenly in...is this Konohagakure? It is.

 

Staring at Orochimaru.

 

Oh. It appears I've been isekaied into the Naruto universe. Whose body am I in?

 

He was wearing a jonin vest and a Konoha forehead protector, so he clearly hadn't gone missing-nin yet.

 

"Hmm. Interesting," was all the bastard said before he took off running past me. And apparently I magically understood Japanese now.

 

And then came a fuckton of ninja pursuing him, some of them in ANBU gear.

 

Correction: he was apparently defecting right fucking now.

 

One of the ANBU, one wearing a lion mask, broke off to rush over to me, kneeling down in front of me.

 

"Honorable Daughter! Are you alright?" asked a feminine sounding voice. Honorable Daughter? What? Like Konohamaru, or-

 

"Ummm...I dunno?" I asked.

 

"You shouldn't be out here. What would your parents think?" the ANBU scolded me.

 

I shrugged.

 

"Come on, I'll take you back to the Hokage's office. They're probably worried sick about you. How'd you even get this far away?" she groaned.

 

Okay, so, I guess I am the daughter of a Hokage. Considering that Orochimaru just defected, I want to say that I'm-

 

My thoughts came to a screaming halt as Obito FUCKING Uchiha, in normal Konoha shinobi getup, landed in front of us. "Naruko! That man didn't hurt you, did he?"

 

Oh, for fuck's sake.

 

Hello, Truck-kun? I believe you sent me to the wrong universe. Because this clearly isn't the canon one, so I don't know why you would let me keep all my knowledge from my past life if it's all going to be useless.

Chapter 2: Childhood Arc 2: Playdate

Summary:

Naruko meets her family, makes her first friend, and unintentionally triggers some people's trauma briefly. A lesson is learned on how not to mess with people.

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

After a walk back to the Hokage's office, one that somehow felt like it took like an hour despite probably taking only about ten minutes, I found myself looking at a very concerned-looking Minato and Kushina. My new mother instantly darted over to me, knelt down, and enveloped me in a hug.

I liked hugs. Hugs felt good.

"Naruko! Why'd you run off? You have a playdate with Sasuke-kun, ya know!"

My attention immediately turned to notice that there were other people in the room. Namely, Sasuke Uchiha and his brother Itachi.

Ughhh. I hated Itachi. I thought he was, quite frankly, a horrible brother to Sasuke, no matter what some fans insisted.

However, this Itachi was eight. It'd be incredibly unfair to judge him based on things that he hadn't done yet. And considering that Min-my dad was Hokage, it was incredibly unlikely they would happen. He wouldn't allow it.

So, first rule of my new life: don't prejudge people based on what happened in canon. There was already ample evidence this wasn't the canon universe.

I let out a sigh and turned to Sasuke and gave the warmest smile I could. And kid Sasuke was absolutely adorable, so the smile was completely genuine.

And then I opened my mouth.

"Nii-chan!"

The kid just stood there for a moment, blinking.

Fuck it, might as well have fun. I pointed at him and said "Indra!"

He was still blinking.

My mother let out a chuckle. "Naruko, his name is Sasuke, not Indra!"

"But I'm Asura!" I whined, to continue this weird game I was playing with everyone because I'm three years old and I get to mess with people at this age.

Her brows furrowed. "The...children of the Sage of Six Paths?"

"Uh-huh! I'm Asura and he's Indra!"

Obito snorted. Oh yeah, he was still here.

"And I'm Hashirama and he's Madara!"

Everyone in the room visibly tensed other than me and Sasuke. Obito actually let out a shudder at that. "Naruko...please don't joke about things like that," he scolded. There was clear pain in his voice. "Madara was a very bad man who hurt a lot of people, including me."

Fuck, was this a timeline where he was found by Madara but escaped? If that's the case, I feel like a complete bitch.

"I'm sorry, Obito-san."

Okay, so maybe don't fuck with people over the fact that you know that you're the reincarnation of Asura Ōtsutsuki and Hashirama Senju, or that Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra Ōtsutsuki and Madara Uchiha.

Let's, uhh, let's keep the trolling away from that topic.

(The rest of the playdate was much less interesting. I definitely am gonna keep calling Sasuke nii-chan, though. And I felt like we were definitely friends afterwards!)

Notes:

Is Naruko wrong to bring up Madara like this? Yes, absolutely. But her mind has somewhat regressed, even if she doesn't realize it. She's more childish than in her past life.
