Uchiha Naruto: The Sage

Chapter 37: Emotions

Dec 27

When life has a purpose you have a reason to live, you have a reason to hold on to life no matter what fate throws into your path. There are many people who've strived for their goals, dreams but when fate wishes it, she could turn your world upside down and make you question your own existence in this wretched world.

What Samui did understand was that everyone had a role to play. It didn't matter who wrote the scripts, but discovering our roles and taking them up was something important. When you knew your role, you begin to understand yourself better. However, Samui wasn't the one who liked acting up on a script written by someone else. She liked to believe that her life was her own choice and her destiny would be her own choice.

This life was full of many scenes to stage your own play and there was always an audience to watch, and they will either be happy with your or jeer at you.

This was one stage that she'd chosen to take, a stage she'd chosen to make her own existence useful. Though not many would know of her own role in this world, she was content with it. As long as she knew it in her heart that she had played her role, she had run her race, there was nothing else that would fulfill her heart more.

This stage she'd chosen wasn't a small one. It was big and carried much more weight; it required more of her physical strength and mental strength. But that was not a problem to her. She had made her choice and that choice is the one that brought her about to this place.

Samui slowly walked into the dark hall within the palace of Naruto. Even though darkness reigned within the walls of the palace, Samui knew where to put her foot on. This ground, this floor, she knew it. Even if she was blindsided, she would still walk towards the pre-determined destination.

Samui reached her destination, and sat down on the feet of the empty throne. No second later, Naruto appeared on his holly throne sitting comfortably, back comfortable pressed against the throne. His lone visible Sharingan glowing crimson as he stared down at the blond woman before him.

''You are recovering well. I'd thought that it would take much more time for you to recover,'' Samui spoke, not directly looking at Naruto, her eyes lingered about the darkness that reigned supreme around her. She'd become used to it now that it no longer bothered her.

Sometimes she always liked to look around because she felt that there were things lingering around in the darkness. It was mysterious, and beyond anything she could define. She was certain that there were small creatures, flying about the hall whenever Naruto turned off the lights.

''My body isn't something that you can understand, Samui. I've some difficulties reading into it. It is a deep hole that is full of mysterious things that are peculiar and interesting, and yet I find no need to unravel all the mysteries,'' Naruto responded, his tone soft, something that had never been felt on his tone before.

''If you hadn't killed Orochimaru, he no doubt would be more than willing to study it for you,'' Samui responded, a small smile flickering through her face. Though she had never met the dead Sannin, she had been told enough that he liked experimenting and would no doubt love studying a body that is like Naruto's, especially when it hold so many secrets.

''Are you attempting to humor me?'' Naruto asked, the calmness of his tone wasn't anything new to Samui.

''Maybe,'' the blonde haired woman didn't deny it. ''It must be boring for you being stuck here. I would've lost it already if I was stuck in such a place.''

''It is indeed a little boring, but it is no bother at all. While I recover, I've been keeping my body asleep in the chamber. But there is no longer a need for that. Though I've yet to fully recover, the progress is acceptable, so I've deemed sleep no longer a necessity,'' Naruto responded quietly.
