No, she has a different problem to juggle on top of cultural context, keeping under the radar, and a universe full of superpowers: high school.

And now he must find something else to seek out. (Rewrite Pending)

Time-travel, femNaru.

Time travel, the ultimate hoax to cheat in life and turn bad odds to your advantage. Or, it would be if Naruto had any idea what he was doing. Trying to save lives he holds dear, he somehow ended up as an international S-class criminal with a flee-on-sight order. Oops.

I don't recommend starting here, I really don't.
