#inner sakura

Alastor is Sakura's reincarnation.

She dies while killing Kaguya. Everyone else in her world is dead and she was the last standing before the goddess killed her. Sakura has the last laugh cause she ripped that bitch's throat out with her teeth.

She was carrying the Souls of Naruto and Sasuke in seals on her body. When she gets dragged into the new world, so do they. They only reincarnated after Alastor realized he still has their Souls and sent them off. Right before he died.

Alastor is not reborn with her memories. He slowly gains them over time. But he instinctively knew to start collecting Chakra from the world around him. He was born with Sakura's control and her previous cap point. Which was borderline limitless.

He learns magic and Voodoo, two completely separate things, from his mother. When he also starts using Chakra, like muscle memory, she knows something is up. Especially seeing as he starts getting nightmares about things that didn't happen. She eventually realizes her son was a reincarnated Soul.

He was born a master of Water and Earth, as well as Yin and Yang. Also born a natural healer. Not even including the multiple martial arts his past life knew. But he doesn't have the memories or physical abilities. He doesn't have the muscle or the chakra. He's stumbling through this purely on the odd vision or gut feeling.

He learns parkour really fast. He's also good at dodging. His mother eventually has to tell him he needs to pretend to be like other people. She loves him as he is, but others will hurt him worse if they find out he's different.

He speaks fluent Japanese and understands most Chinese. This is found out when he picks up conversation with a Japanese woman when she was confused on directions a friend of hers was trying to translate. This left some that knew Alastor growing up to assume he's not half white, at least not fully, but is part Asian. He's not part Asian, but him and his mother run with it because it's safer. It also allows them in the Asian markets to get foods he misses from his past life but can't explain. The grannies just think he was introduced to the food without being told the names. He still love the salty, sour taste of umeboshi. You can't pry his pickles plums from his dead hands.

When his mother is almost killed by his step father, he still kills the man. But Alastor instinctively uses medical jutsu. He manages to save her life. He grows up with her.

He gets most of his memories back and remembers being a ninja by the time he's a young adult. He enlists in The Great War. He's the most dangerous person on the battlefield. Obviously, he can't go all out. But that doesn't mean his comrades don't whisper behind his back. How the man had no light behind those eyes as he killed. How none of the violence seemed to stun him. But also, how every teammate got back to base. How those who should have died recovered beyond a miracle. How Alastor protected what was his.

He's still a serial killer.

He makes his deal so that there's no chance of surprises. He still gets surprised by the Hell he finds himself in.

Shadow is Inner. Shadow shit talks everyone.

As a demon, Alastor's undershirt has a white line circle on the back of his dress shirt. Both for Ohm and for his old clan.

Alastor decided to try his hand at new jutsu. Technically not new, but new to him. Mokuton is a struggle to get right, but he does. And now it's an instinct. A part of him reaches out, if he doesn't keep himself in check. Which results in rooms becoming Bayou. (Oops. 😬)

The part of him that's still Sakura likes their fuck ass bob. His bob looks red and black at first glance, but it's actually magenta and a deep, dark purple. The fact his kill mark is where the old Byakugo Seal was feels fitting. He still has the seal, don't get me wrong, but it's under the red target. His eyes are red and red, but when he uses his chakra the cornea returns to their familiar green. Just like his magic being the same color as his medical jutsu.

He's a Marsh Deer. Mostly. He's also a slug traits given his old summons, Katsuyu. He is generally a shell less gastropod mollusk, but his body favours being a sea slug like Phyllodesmium poindimiei, specifically Spun of Light. Though, he will take on other slug type traits when they suit him. He would only have those traits when fighting and healing. And only if he wasn't suppressing them. Which means, only Zestiel, Rosie, Husk, and Nifty know about these traits. So far.

Alastor has Sakura's immunity to Genjutsu. He can tell when something foreign has gotten in his mind and he also has complete control over his mind. Which is also why he's immune to Vox's eye. He's immune to all illusions and mind control.

He's immune to all poisons, venoms, and drugs too. Technically. He's able to heal himself quickly, and has naturally high immunity otherwise.

Alastor heals Vaggie's eye as a show of good will when he first enters the Hotel and is accepted as manager. This stuns everyone because it was a wound made from Angelic Steel. Alastor also tells her that he noticed she had wings at one point, from his 'power' flooding through her while healing. And asks if he can heal those at a later point. (He calls it power because calling it chakra would get him weird looks. He's also not immediately healing Vaggie all the way for a few reasons. First, he can tell she's not a Sinner or Hellborn, so she must be an Angel. Second, to make it seem like there was a limit on what he could heal at once. There are other reasons, but I'll get into those later.)

Alastor holds back while fighting the Exorcists, and purposely gets hit by Adam. His healing is why he doesn't die. It's all a show to lead up to him getting free. He could sense Lucifer on his way, so knew that nothing too extreme would happen. (He feels bad that Pentious died. He won't admit it out loud. But he views it as a sloppy failure on his part. Which makes him more protective of the crew, even if they don't see it.)

He purposely doesn't heal himself because he intends to use this to his advantage. He didn't mean for his staff to get broken and is genuinely pissed by that. He's also pissed with Rosie for knowing he's injured and dropping him.

He tolerates Vox putting him through everything. Honestly, he had expected worse. He experienced worse as a ninja.

Sasuke is in Hell when he recognizes Sakura. He doesn't know how he recognizes her, but he does. He sends a message through seals to Naruto in Heaven. The two had decided that, when they found each other in life, they'd do anything to find Sakura's incarnation. When one died before the other, they used Naruto's fuinjutsu to communicate with the seals they had put onto their bodies the moment they found each other. Naruto reveals Christian Heaven and Hell exist in this world. Sasuke makes sure he goes to Hell. They don't mind being split up to find Sakura, because the goal is to be together in the end.

Naruto is a gold-yellow fox with orange details and blue eyes, with secondary toad traits while using chakra. Reincarnated as a woman who was brunette with brown eyes, named Mikayla, before dying and going to Heaven. Sasuke is a crow with snake traits while using his chakra. He reincarnated to look almost exactly the exactly the same, named William, before dying and going to Hell. All three of Team 7 reincarnated into America.

Alastor getting pulled from Shock.wav by Emily, only to realize that she's not going to make it out of blast. So he twists them around, while condensing chakra around his hand, and smacks the beam of holy light away like Sakura used to do with ninjutsu.

Battle pauses for a second while everyone looks at Alastor in stunned silence and surprise. He decided to stop holding back. As much.

Nobody:...

Literally nobody :.....

Sasuke's first line at every Team 7 reunion in shippuden: Sakura, is that you?
