hey everyone!
i'm Uzumaki Naruto
um in my world we give family name first
so you can just call me Naruto!

listen…
i have an important question that i'd like to hear your opinions on

some people doubt this place is really the afterlife
and if we’re actually dead

but let’s say there’s a chance we can all return to our own dimensions, alive
…would you want to?
or would you prefer to stay here instead, permanently?

it’s kinda personal, so i get it if you wanna use the
uh
anonymous
thingy
just don’t ask me how to switch it on
because idk (that means i don’t know)

oh also
if anyone needs help with anything
or wants to tackle some missions together
i'm your shinobi!

[Sorry, Sasuke and Sakura. Naruto forgot the “keep our profession/backgrounds a secret” rule. (And already broke the rule several times over.)]

'Shinobi', are you? Are you Doman?

[ Someone else from his star?? ]

[acknowledgement]

[Sorry, Cedrik. You're still quite alone.]

what's Doman

also i was just kidding about the shinobi thing
hehehehehe
silly me!!

[#convincing]

[heavenstorn]

[ Either this kid's really good at playing dumb or... ]

Ah.

Well first of all, a Doman is from Doma.

Which is where ninja originated.

'Kidding' or no, I pray you'll understand why I'm confused that you've not at least heard the name before.

[ It's not like ninja can just become a thing all on their own on two completely separate worlds and still be eerily similar disciplines, right?? ]

super sorry, this tag is so late

[acknowledgement]

oh
never heard of Doman or Doma before
maybe it's just something from your world

[Because Naruto is intimately familiar with the origins of shinobi in his dimension, and there's no mention of Doma involved.]

i don't know a whole lot about this stuff yet...
but it seems like some worlds have a few things in common!
like shinigami or ramen or myths about the afterlife

No worries!

[heavenstorn]

May be they are different things with the same name? Or if it's as you say, it's one hell of a coincidence.

[ He wishes his nerdscholarly friends were here... They'd have a field day going over all the implications of this. ]

Regardless, my apologies for being brusque, I was startled to hear such a familiar word. Let me start again?

[acknowledgement]

hehehehe np (that means no problem)
you weren't whatever that word means!

[Naruto, if you don't know what "brusque" means, how do you know whether Cedrik was or not...]

sure! let's start over!

[heavenstorn]

[ Oh, they're swapping lingo? Nice, Cedrik can do that. ]

It means being...too abrupt or forward. And thank you.

[ Ahem. ]

Well met, Naruto! I am Cedrik Reede, but you may call me Cedrik.
