Alt Hisame is happy to provide a portal to Ellayania's realm!

She definitely seems a lot friendlier than local Hisame.

"By the way, I'm calling myself Tentou, and your local Hisame's calling herself Naraka, to disambiguate which of us is which," she tells Elieyha and Naruto.

"How grandiose. Appropriate, I guess."

"It seemed on theme."

"Hmm."

Well, onward to the others, then.

Everyone's waiting.

"I was right," Ellayania announces.

"About what?"

"That you were a Lightning. One of us."

"There is a similarity, yes..."

"Alts seem to be an exceptionally strange phenomenon all in all." To Elieyha: "My type of person decided to call ourselves Crows. That's currently me, Mora, Glint, and Naraka, of those present in this world. So far we haven't noticed other templates repeating - other than of course the people shared between our worlds, which are slightly off copies - and we're unsure how widespread the phenomenon is."

"In point of fact, that is no longer strictly true. It did not seem opportune to mention this at the time, but Naruto's fox is the same person as Mora's Nausicaa."

" - Wait what? What's going on with Mora's Nausicaa - "

"She's my headmate. She was originally this body's first person's headmate, who was also named Nausicaa, and then this body's first person kind of - died. And my Nausicaa made me."

He makes a complicated face, and then seems to be listening to something. "...Are names similar across alts at all?"

"Not amongst Crows. But of Lightnings we have Eliana, Ellayania, Elatra, Elieyha, and the Keres." She points at each. "And there was an Eliko who declined to travel that we retroactively suspect of being one of us."

"Original Nausicaa's mom wouldn't happened to have a name like Uzumaki Kushina, and her dad a name like Namikaze Minato, would she - "

" - Nausicaa's last name was Uzun, but her father's name was Mamun ibn Najm. We're - not sure of her mother's first name, but 'something like Kushina' sounds - about correct."

"...Huh. Those're my parents' names. Kushina and Minato."

"Interesting. I believe this is the most extensive correspondence yet."

"Says really weird things about - whatever."

Also Kurama is kind of iffy about having alts, which is adorable.

"An odd lack of imagination, perhaps, considering the rest of it."

He snorts. "Maybe I should try befriending the whatever."

"If you can open a line of communication, that would truly be impressive."

"It'll be my next project." After accumulating enough power he can protect his friends and pull arbitrary people out of the Pure Land whenever he feels like it.

"Good luck."
