Kaisei the Kiri Reincarnator (Naruto)
You know, personally Blair always thought being reincarnated into the shitshow that was canon Naruto was nothing short of the second coming of hell - if not more creative. Especially for Blair, who never pulled off the whole sneaky-politic-backwards-insulting-but-vaguely-not-talk very well - the chances of getting away with lying about her foreknowledge outside of the typical indulgence some may have with very young children sounded bleak.
She's found herself pleasantly surprised and yet somehow vindicated in her assumptions in the same breath when she - rather unfortunately in her opinion - died and got reincarnated into Kirigakure.
At first she bitched and whined - because um, kindly fuck off? She says Naruto is like a more creative and less outright torturous hell depending on subjective opinion and then she gets reincarnated into the one place every murderer for hire ever openly scrutinizes as being 'too violent'? Is this some sort of cosmic joke?
She wasn't wrong either - Kiri, in her oh so gentle opinion, fucking sucked. Violence was common - no duh - but you don't really have a grasp of it until having a tendon slashed was seen as something that somewhat inconvenient with occasionally disastrous personal consequences, but garnered little to no sympathy from others - like forgetting where you put your keys in the morning, or something. In fact, breaking your first bone in a violent scuffle with - your most usually fellow - trash street kids is an experience that's expected to happen and is occasionally asked about as an icebreaker. If that wasn't freaky enough to convince you - even Blair's new name is eerie.
Kaisei is her lovingly and painstakingly decided new name - not. She's pretty sure it was decided just because it would inconvenience her, actually. Apparently, she had been deemed dead for around five minutes after birth, and her mother didn't have a name chosen, and so 'resurrection' just seemed to be how the cards fell for her. Ironic, all things considered - but really? You know, she hears that in fire country they give their kids cute pun names instead of whatever convenient morbid joke they happen upon at the exact moment the nurse asks for something for the papers.
Not that Kaisei thinks she would have preferred to be born in fire country in the slightest - rather uniquely, Kiri doesn't really have a lot going on. Like yeah, it's a shithole, but it's an honest one. There's no secret organizations stealing children to experiment on and brainwash afterwards - Konoha's thing - there's no creepy organ markets - that's earth country's problem - or levels of childhood indoctrination seen distasteful by even the freaks that call themselves shinobi here - Taki's issue, namely. She hears that their academy doubles as a daycare for infants and that children are expected to live there - it's pretty wild shit.
All Kiri has is the creepy Mizukage that kills people on mass for fun sometimes - which, you know, was because of Konoha and it's bullshit history and politics that Kaisei was incredibly glad she didn't have to deal with. Even that wasn't really unique considering Suna had the same thing happening, except at least they had the brains not to elect their crazy murderous genocidal guy as the fucking president.
So yeah, Kiri wasn't even that bad. The reputation was earned - but only because no one else aired out their dirty laundry like Kiri. Hell, ask literally anyone from Kumo about their worrying issue with human trafficking and they'd probably just try and murder you - ask Kiri about it's bloody graduation practice and they'd just say that it was a thing at one point but they haven't done that since that one freak that wasn't even in the graduating class killed an entire class just because he could.
Hell, that's not even talking about the fact at least denial is better over plain ignorance - ask a Konoha or Yu shinobi about the strange and worrying fact that over 80% of all their orphans go 'missing' before adulthood and they'll just think you made it up to freak them out because no of course they don't, the village leader would have looked into it if that was true - what does a Kiri shinobi know about that anyways?
Kaisei rather prefers Kiri over the mess that is literally everywhere else - sure babysitting a kid that bites off fingers and is said to enjoy the taste of blood as a d-rank is a legitimate concern, but it's far better then dealing with conflicts literally older then chakra itself. That may just be the mythical and fabled so-called 'village pride' coming into play, though.
Unlikely though, everyone fucking hates it here - everywhere else is just worse, so we settle for shit over world ending fuck-ups.
Gotta love Kiri.
