AU Crossover idea for:
Naruto x Eminence in Shadows / Naruto x Claire(?)
Naruto founded Shadow Garden AU.
After death Naruto*(a) reincarnates into "tEiS" instead of, and NOT as, Cid Kageno...and is a consciously active protagonist who knows what is going on is real and not roleplay.
If you want him to have a connection to Claire then she (as a kid) could have caught him (as a kid) breaking into her family's house to steal food, and he effortlessly beat her when attacked. His skills to infiltrate their home and best their heiress, could be enough for her parents to offer him Claire's hand in marriage, if only to add his talents to their bloodline.
He could, throughout his second childhood and out of boredom, bounty hunt bandits, from whom he could have learned of the Cult of Diablos from, via Ninshu.
During his hunts he could meet Alpha and the others, who via "Chakra(/magic) tug-o-war" he could purify.
He could teach his 7 Shadows about the food (Ichiraku) or music (the "Princess Gale" soundtrack) of his old life when trying to recreate it. Or about (corporate) espionage skills or about how to run a business/organization(/village) such as he learned from his time as a ninja. Or about the "Icha Icha" book series.
Naruto could use "Hokage" or "kyubi/fox" or Menma or Kurama or any of his other friends names as aliases.
The "I Am Atomic" attack could be replaced by the Rasenshuriken/Bijuu Dama.
I don't have anything for the Greek letter names but maybe they were a code Ninja used, idk.
*(a) if you want more Naruto characters, feel free to add Tsunade, Shizune (maybe), Sakura, Ino and Hinata as they have all given Naruto chakra, the first 3/4 via healing, & thus their Chakra/pieces-of-souls would have been inside of Naruto's when he reincarnated and would presumably reincarnate alongside him.
