Late at night

Naruto: Emiko, miss Takeda told me to get you for dinner!

*A younger Naruto yelled, he opened the door to see Emiko being killed, Naruto remained ther frozen, his small brain unable to feel anything other then shock and fear, with a trembling hand he dared to look up and saw the person responsible. A Shinobi, a shinobi wearing a black and white mask, with red eyes, piercing blood red eyes, Naruto stumbled back as the thing, the monsters got up. And started walking towards him. Whatever was about to happen didn't, since the thing looked out the window, it must've heard something, something Naruto couldn't hear, the pounding of his heart was preventing him from hearing anything other then it. The dark figured jumped out of the window, Naruto scrambled getting up and followed but it was already gone,*

Naruto;h.. help!!! Somebody help!!

*Naruto screamed hoping one of the sisters of the orphanages was close enough to hear his cries,  Naruto kneeled down to Emiko placing her head on his lap, she was cold to the touch, with a kunai still jabbed in her heart. Emiko turned her head and looked at him with nothing but hatred*

Emiko:you were a coward, you let me die....

Real world

*Naruto woke up with a bit of a jump, he sat down on his bed and started doing some breathing exercises, letting the tears flow freely*

Naruto: there's no shame in crying, there's no weakness in showing emotions. Emotions mean you cared, it means your still human. I...it...

*Naruto's words were lost in his throat from the lump that was stuck inside of it, Naruto covered his eyes with one hand and started to silently cry. Even if he's made peace with Emiko's death, that doesn't mean he doesn't sometimes wake up sad over it.*

Naruto:breath... breath....

*Naruto ordered himself he took a deep breath and let it out, he got out of bed and sat down on the floor in a meditating position*

Naruto:you were a little boy, you could do nothing about it, it's not your fault.

*Naruto said softly to himself as he started meditating. To calm his brain and get his thoughts in order*

Scene change

*Sakura walked out her room with a yawn, she was going to the bathroom when she saw the light in the kitchen*

Sakura:did we forget to turn it off?

*Sakura mumbled to herself as she walked do it, imagine her surprised when she saw N using the stove*

Sakura:N? It's 3 in the morning, what are you doing?

Naruto:ah Sakura, did I wake you? I apologize if I did. I couldn't sleep well so I decided to make me some hot chocolate, would you care for some?

*Naruto asked not showing his face to her, Sakura shrugged and sat down, she drummed her fingers on the table looking at her roommate *

Sakura:you know, being best friends with Hinata teaches you a few things.

Naruto:oh?

*Naruto asked as he looked for cups, finding them he placed them down and started pouring the hot drinks in them, still not facing Sakura*

Sakura:yeah, one of them is to know when someone has been crying

Naruto:..... It's nothing you should concern yourself with, it... It was just and old memory, of when I was a coward

*Naruto said with a sigh, he turned around and placed Sakura's cup in front of her, she nodded as thank you and looked at N sit down. He was looking at his steaming cup, his eyes still red from the crying*

Sakura:want to talk about it?

Naruto:.... Like I said, it's nothing. When I slept, I remember the day Emiko died, how I was frozen seeing death for the first time, seeing someone I cared for meet her end, and what did I do? I was petrified

*Naruto said with a sigh, he held his mug tightly and took a big sip of the hot liquid, enjoying the warmness it delivered to his belly. Sakura kept looking at him, patiencly waiting for him to continue*

Naruto: I couldn't yell for help till it was too late, till the person responsible was gone, by then the Shinigami already took Emiko to meet her family

Sakura: how old were you?

Naruto: I know where your going with this. I was still a little kid, I wasn't even in the samurai academy yet. I know there was nothing I could do, I know it wasn't my fault

*Naruto said, taking another sip of his drink, this time less hot since he already got used to the temperature, Sakura drank her own cup, much more slowly*

Naruto: I appreciate what your trying to do Sakura, truly i do. But I'm just sad, there's nothing wrong with that, there's no easy fix that'll make me feel better. I just have to let the emotions flow naturally as a river carves a canyon

Sakura:...ok. then I'll keep you company, that's the least I can do

*Sakura said kindly, Naruto hummed and let a small smile grace his lips*

Naruto:I, appreciate that. Thank you Sakura

*Sakura smiled, they both finished there drinks and changed there location to the living room, they read together until Sakura fell asleep at the 5 am mark. Naruto glanced at the softly snoring girl and chuckled, he took off the top half of his kimono and placed it over Sakura as a blanket. Naruto took out a scroll and opened it*

Naruto:unseal

*Naruto said softly as a small cloud a smoke appeared and the content of the scroll became 3 dimensional, a kunai, the kunai that had rust from the uncleaned blood from it, the kunai that killed Emiko. Naruto grabbed it and just looked at it, inspecting it. Finding nothing but the animal symbol it has engraved on it*

Naruto: while I've moved on from your passing, I haven't forgotten my promise emi, if I ever find out who killed you, I'll avenged your death.

*Naruto said coldly, all emotion leaving his tone, leaving only an ice cold tone that was unbreakable. Naruto frowned a little since he wasn't foolish enough to believe this is what Emiko would want, she was a girl that wanted peace not vengeance. Naruto looked up at the ceiling and sighed*

Naruto: I wish I could say I'll do it because it's the right thing to do, but I won't. I'm doing this because... because that scum took you away from me...

*Naruto said with an emotionless expression, almost emotionless since he couldn't hide the sadness behind his eyes. He yawned and then chuckled*

Naruto:heh and here I am talking to myself, I'm more tired then i thought I was...

*Naruto said getting comfortable on the sofa and trying to get some sleep, leaving his exercises for later. As he was drifting off to the world of fantasy, he remember what his friend Kenshin said to him*

Kenshin"whatever you lose, you'll find it again. But what you throw away you'll never get back. So tell me my friend, what are you willing to throw away for your need of revenge?"

Naruto:......

Meanwhile in the Hokage tower

*The door of the casket fell to the floor as the second Hokage, the racist. I mean the cautious second Hokage Tobirama Senju*

Minato:welcome back second. How have the pure lands been treating you?

Tobirama:seeing my brother getting his ass kicked by his wife is always entertaining. Now  why have you summoned me?

*Tobirama asked walking out of the of the casket and looking around at the Hokage office, at the distance he could see the Hokage monument and frowned slightly*

Tobirama" seriously? Hashirama they make perfectly, but they can never get my nose right?"

Minato:the legendary sanin Jiraiya lost and got destroyed the forbidden scroll of the shadow clones. I need you to make me another one

*Minato said, taking Tobirama out of his jealous younger brother mentality, he sighed and nodded. Sitting down on the Hokage chair, he grabbed an empty scroll and ink, and started making another shadow clone Jutsu scroll*

Tobirama:you should know, once you and Jiraiya die, mito Made a deal with the Shinigami, she'll have your souls to do as she wishes

Minato:I understand full well my actions. But I did what was necessary for the greater good of the world, and of the leaf village.

*Minato said with a sigh, sitting down on the chair in front of him, he didn't like the fact that he wasn't sitting on the Hokage chair*

Tobirama:be sure to tell her that. I'm sure the Uzumaki queen will understand, it's not like the Uzumaki are known for putting there family first, to the point it became there most important rule

Minato:just write the scroll, I certainly don't need a lecture from you Mr. Uchiha police. You have no idea the absolute headaches your policies have giving me, and how long it took me to fix them

*Minato said with a glare, a glare that Tobirama ignored and finished writing, he tossed Minato the scroll, and he caught it. Minato kept his gaze on the scroll as he said his next words softly*

Minato: how....how is he?

Tobirama:...he found happiness, he found friends and people he considers family

*Tobirama said, Minato knew he had no rights to feel the way that he was feeling, but he still felt relief and happiness hearing his son was more then ok*

Tobirama:but there's darkness in his heart too, darkness that if he allows to grow will destroy him spiritually

*Tobirama said being cryptic about the truth, even the dead have rules to follow. Tobirama can't simply say that Naruto is the real child of prophecy. Tobirama took a final looked at the village he and his brother created, as he turned to dust returning to the world of the dead. Minato sighed and sat back on his chair, he looked out on the window and looked at his village as the sun starts rising*

Minato: good luck with your struggles Naruto....my son
