Oh I Love This Au - Tumblr Posts

I heard someone say that Azula and the gang were like a posse of mean dance girls, so I had to do it

Based on this post about Shang Quinghua reincarnating into Naruto as Uchiha Izumi (Itachi's vaguely romantic interest as a kid)

SQH ends up in Naruto with a time limit and a guarantee that he'll die "for realizes" this time unless he somehow manages to become a relevant and important character in a colorful cast of literal hundreds. Oh yeah, and he only has like 13 years before the system expects him to die.

Oops?

The act of surviving would issue a punishment protocol + retract enough points to kill him anyways, so SQH is kinda damned if he do, damned if he dont— unless he somehow manages to get enough points to survive.

So basically SQH has 2 goals:

1. Get enough points to be able to survive their subtraction after he goes against the system and survives the massacre

2. Actually survive the massacre

I think once he survives the massacre he's left with like, literally a SINGLE point left. THE only thing keeping him alive.

From there he grants himself a bit of a break, then realizes he has a golden ticket to character relevance in the form of taking care of Sasuke-- then probably accidentally becomes attached on the way.

Later he'll try to steal some of Sasuke's own character beats by trying very hard to get Orochimaru's attention, then taking Sasuke's place in defecting from Konoha. Very messy, very fun, he is begging the system on his KNEES to know if he's finally done enough to get a pass for this life but the system refuses to tell him SHIT till "the main story is done"

Thanks, system. Really.

Anyways: I think growing up he had to balance whether he wanted to go for the child prodigy route (probably bad for the long run knowing what the village liked to do to them, but good for his narrative, so...?)

He probably dreams of being a desk shinobi, and would also be disgustingly good at it from being head of the logistic peak, but he showed his skills too early in the game and that kind of locked him into being a frontline fighter (he is suffering.)

His own ideal ending for himself is like, being an assistant to the Hokage probably. Very important role !!!! Narrative potential guarenteed!!! Also: he doesn't have to leave the village.

I think he specializes in fuinjutsu and also poisons. He's famous among his peers for being incredibly paranoid and overpacking to SHIT, he carries everything in those bags of his fr. He probably invents some space time storage seal to make a bag of holding
