Deida- no Haru's story is an odd one.
It was an average day at work, all Haru could think about was leaving and going for a beer, the story of everyone's life.
Until-
"Haru! Watch out" Haru turned his head to look at his coworker Evan only to see a large metal beam fall on his head.
The next thing he remembered he was watching his body in his coffin being drove around the city he grew up in. It drove past the workplace he died, everyone standing outside in fake mourning.
"Tsk"
"They didn't give a flying fuck about me when I was alive, but now that I'm dead it seems I'm finally the center of attention, not just the antisocial guy sitting in the corner listening to music all day"
"Despicable"
His soul or ghost or his form or whatever the fuck was happening to him right now seemed to be almost tied to his coffin.
"I don't like the thought of being buried with my body, is this how it is? Dying"
His thoughts drifting to the people he had lost over the years, his grandfather, his grandmother, his father and his mother
"Was this how it was for all of you as well" he wanted- no he was begging just for a single tear to fall, to feel like he was still alive but he felt nothing, he didn't feel any emotion right now.
He watched how his ex girlfriend was the centre of attention, crying and sobbing at his death.
"She cheated on me and now she gets to be the centre of attention at my funeral!"
"What a tragic life I lived. I had no love after her, no children no one to remember me"
"Was this truly what I left behind on this planet? Nothing?"
He watched them from above, watching them all pile out immediately after his funeral, to go back to work or to just go back home and forget about him.
'Pop'
'Pop'
The last person there.
Was his old friend Alex, they had fallen out years ago.
Over what? Who knows?
He watched as he placed a bottle of beer on his coffin, as he sat silently drinking his own with a tab in his left hand.
After a few minutes he spoke.
"Rest in Peace Haru"
A few moments of silence-
"You really were my best friend"
Haru smiled.
——————————
Then Haru awoke.
Not as Haru Tsuchi, no he awoke as Deidara, Deidara the Mad Bomber.
——————————-
"What the fuck"
Haru surveyed his surroundings, he looked at the cracked stone walls and shabby surrounding.
He walked around and found a small bathroom and looked at the small mirror he found.
"Surely not"
The face looking back at him was not his own, but it looked oddly familiar to him Blonde hair, with bright Blue eyes a youthful appearance and slightly longer hair giving him a bit more of a feminine appearance.
"Wait!"
He looked at the scrolls scattered around his room and picked one of them up.
It explained Chakra Theo-
"Chakra Theory"
'I've been reborn into the world of Naruto, man this is a dream come true for a loser like me' He thought grinning.
'That's it'
'The blonde hair, the blue eyes'
"I've been reborn as Minato Namikaze"
'I get to flash around the world whenever I please and I get to bag Kushina, one of the sexiest ladies in the anime'
He started laughing "Damn this life is going to be aweso-"
Just then it seemed his soul and the soul of the body he was inhabiting merged. Sending a flood of memories crashing into him, probably harder than that metal beam.
He fell back crashing against his bed frame and held his head for a good 5 minutes.
"Why do I always get my hopes up over nothing" he said holding his head in his hands.
Not to say Haru hated Deidara, he'll even saw he was his one of his favourite akatsuki members behind Kisame.
But he wasn't the strongest, and if he wanted to live in this world until the age of retirement unlike his past life, he would have to fight against.
'Well let's think. It seems like if i want to survive I will have to fight:
The reanimated Kages.
Obito Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha.
Kaguya Otsutsuki
Momishiki Otsutsuki
The big Otsutsuki
And lastly that mad one who I can't remember the name of.'
"I'm not even going to make it to the fourth great ninja war let alone fight against those enemies and survive."
'No.'
'No.'
'No.'
'no, no, no, NO, NO!'
'I'm not going to be like my past life or my real life or whatever the fuck that even is now.'
'That's behind me, I'm not going to lie down and take it like a little bitch'
He got up from his seated position next to his bedframe and said "I might not survive, I might not make it to retirement."
"But unlike my past life. I will make sure this world will remember me"
"Yes"
"Deidara the mad Bomber always had a nice ring to it."
—————————
Deidara's Apartment
'Okay let's just think about this for a second, although he could have been reincarnated in a better body this was not bad at all, hell any ordinary Shinobi with no clan backing and no secret technique would be delighted to have Explosion Release. Hell, without a clan or a kekkei genkai, most ninja barely made it past Chunin."
'Explosion Release, the way Deidara used it in the anime was through clay by chewing it up with his hand? Yeah that sounds weird as fuck.'
'But-' Deidara looked down at his hands and thought 'I don't have mouths on my hands'
'Could it be he attained it when he left the village, if I remember correctly he stole it'
Deidara stood up and looked around, he saw a wad of cash, the villages stipend for children left orphaned.
He grabbed the stack and left his apartment and looked around the village. 'Not a bad village at all really, the only ones who had better infrastructure were Konoha, if I was to be born into any I would choose Konoha but still- Kumo was high up in the mountains and was extremely militaristic, Suna had sand, end of discussion. Lastly Kiri, yeah that would have been bad to say the least.'
He casually strolled through the village, no one gave him a second glance. 'Just wait, the name Deidara the Mad Bomber would be everywhere'
He finally found a small shop, Discount Ninja Tools with many red signs pointing to it.
"…" 'This is an eyesore'
He walked in and found a boatload of! Shit, the only way to put it.
Dull Kunais, Shuriken missing a star, Katanas with the edge chipped off making it square.
He made his way through and found no one at the front desk, he saw a wad of paper he assumed to be chakra paper which is what he needed.
'Well if no one is at the desk I guess it's free' He grinned.
He grabbed it and went towards the front door before he heard a voice.
"Do you not plan on paying for them boy?"
He froze in his step and turned around to find a large burly man with his arms crossed.
He stuck out his hand to demand payment. 'A man of few words' Deidara assumed.
"Well old timer there was no one at the desk. I figured free samples" he said with a grin.
The man didn't budge nor speak.
Deidara sighed audibly "how much?" He muttered.
"400 Ryō"
"Tsk, Fine" Deidara handed him the 400 Ryō begrudgingly. He began to walk off before the man spoke again.
"Have you awakened your chakra yet?"
Deidara stopped and turned back and gave him the truth "No"
"You look young, I'm guessing your not in the academy yet. Most people wait until Chunin to experiment with their Elemental Nature."
The man stopped talking briefly and asked "Do you know how to awaken your chakra?"
"I've got a book on it back at home I think" Deidara said struggling to remember if the Chakra Theory would actually explain how to awaken his chakra.
"You think?"
"Follow me boy" The man turned and headed into the back of the shop.
"Sit"
And Deidara did so, and he finally decided to take in the man's appearance, before he had only been trying to get out of buying the paper he didn't care enough to look.
The man had gravity defying spiky hair but it seemed to have no gel in it 'That's weird but I guess weird hairstyles and colours were common. Kakashi, Sakura etc etc.' as well as Teal eyes.
'I can't remember if there is anyone like this in the anime from Iwa, there were only a few stood out characters after all'
Deidara now sat on the ground mimicked the meditative pose of the man opposite him. The man spoke "Clear your mind of useless thoughts, Focus within, Find the Energy, Draw it out and spread it across your body"
'Definitely a man of few words'
But Deidara took his advice at face value, the man was clearly experienced and so he sat in that position attempting the process of drawing out his chakra.
The man seeing that Deidara was working on drawing out his chakra got up and started Cooking the meal he was working on before he sensed Deidara trying to walk out the shop.
'He could be another user of Explosion release, although most of our corps died in the Third War, they all had a similar aura about them, it is the same aura I am sensing from this bo-' The man's thoughts were cut off when he felt a small eruption of Chakra.
'What, it's barely been 2 minutes' He frowned as he looked at the pendulum clock in the corner of the room.
The boy was still in the medicine pose. He deided to take in his appearance more because he could have sworn he had saw that Blonde Hair before somewhere.
His mind flashbacked to the war and his squad. Shadi, Gihan, Kapen and lastly Dana! Dana, with her bright blonde hair and bright blue eyes, did she have a son? He frowned, the squad wasn't overly close, they were Shinobi it's best to make no attachments to your fellow comrades, it compromises the village. It was entirely possible she could have had a son.
Unaware of the man's thoughts, Deidara opened his eyes marvelling looking at his body, he could feel the chakra coursing within, Powerful was the word to describe it.
"Yes, yes, definitely her son and most definitely a wielder." The man muttered.
"Did you say something there?" He heard something about a wielder.
The man didn't respond to the question. "Pick the chakra paper up" as Deidara did so he spoke again "Maniulating in your hands is fairly easy, since they are quite close to your Chakra core"
A/N Image.
"Don't imagine, will your body to run your chakra through this paper."
It took Deidara around 8 minutes, the man standing there staring at him silently wasn't helping keep his mind calm but what the hell eh?
Deidara got a bit of a shock when the chakra paper started manipulating itself. First turning Brown, and then crumpling up into a ball, slicing down the middle and then catching fire before exploding and sending paper bits flying through the room.
"Explosion release" the man exclaimed.
————
Bar Kisame, Deidara is my favourite Akatsuki member.
I am a bit stuck on what to do with the Ships, the last fanfic I wrote I had Pakura as the FL, but that was set during the 3rd War.
You guys can vote on who here
OC - Pakura's Sister, Scorch Release Rogue Ninja.
OC - Konan's sister, member of the Akatsuki, uses Paper.
Kurotsuchi - I lowkey would have no idea of what to do with her, as Deidara is a bit older than her. So if you vote for this one I will have to do an Academy arc which I am planning on replacing with something else.
Mei Terumi - She will be aged down from 31 to 23 (Shippuden Ages) as her age doesn't really matter most fanfics have her set as whatever they need her to be.
Other Characters- Any other Girl.
- I am leaning more towards the OC FL, backstories are better to write, and I'm not contradicting with the actual story.
——————-
Releases will probably be every week, saying that I wrote this in a night so who knows.
