Epigraph:

"When love awakens in your life, in the night of your heart, it is like the dawn breaking within you. Where before there was anonymity, now there is intimacy; where before there was fear, now there is courage; where before in your life there was awkwardness, now there is a rhythm of grace and gracefulness; where before you used to be jagged, now you are elegant and in rhythm with your self. When love awakens in your life, it is like a rebirth, a new beginning." 

~John O'Donohue

To Gatsby, the RABBITCH for always eating CABBITCH.

Extended Summary

Namikaze Minato was in the Shinigami's belly alone. It was strange. He was always in a room that resembled his own before he had died. Its shelves were bare of photographs, and his table was free of paperwork (finally). But, it felt cold with the absence of his red-headed wife.

24 years later, Minato had earned the respect of the Shinigami with his attitude and actions even in death. The god made an offer that he had never made before, extending a free hand out to Minato.

"Would you like another chance?"

Minato hesitated, thinking of all the villagers and family that he would never get to see if he accepted.

But, he took it anyway.

At that moment, the pain came like an avalanche, and he had appeared in a vast forest with a gaping wound in his gut from Kurama's attack. For all the training he had done, he should've at least learnt some Iryo ninjutsu.

Minato collapsed to the floor, blood spurting past his lips as he dragged himself to the closest tree. Orange chakra had begun bubbling at his wound but, black dots had already appeared in the corners of his vision.

After he passed out from the pain, a man with spiky black hair stepped out of the forest, amazed at the hostile yet, helpful orange nen that the man used.

Minato had been given a second chance.

A chance in another world.
