Naruto POV

The war is finally over but I don't feel relief, all I can think about are all those shinobi who have died because someone wanted to rule the world {I mean when will people stop wanting to rule the world} I thought bitterly, it's heart breaking to hear all the cries of sadness knowing that either a comrade or a loved one is gone, even though we did win why did all those people have to die, it made me really think {can we truly have peace} I thought feeling empty, as I watched as people cry over their friends who didn't make it, I thought back to all of the time I spent with pervy sage and it makes me think would this have happened if my parents hadn't of died that day, would this have happened if I wasn't born and now that we've won this war, how long would it be before someone else to start it up again, because someone would always try and replace a person for more power

"Kit we won, isn't that enough" said Kurama slowly, I walked over to the big tree that seemed to have survived and at the same time taking me away from the battlefield and my comrade, I sat down and entered the deepest part of my mind, I looked up and there stood Kurama the nine tailed demon fox, well he's not like that anymore, he has become a friend/father/older brother figure really the only one who will ever truly understand me properly, the only one who actually knows what I've been through since he's been with me from the very beginning "I understand what your saying kit but be happy that not everyone was lost here" Kurama said softly as he leaned his big head down so we were eye level, I stared into his red eyes for a few seconds which many years ago I wouldn't of been able too do because he terrified me, I mean I was 4 years old at the time, so being afraid of him was only natural to anyone in my position when I met him after being beaten up pretty badly by the villagers but we've been through so much in the last couple of years to not have some type of connection

"Why do I feel like this, like all their emotions are running through my veins, help me understand how I can feel that" I whispered confused and slightly scared but Kurama didn't answer straight away all he did was continue to heal my wounds in silence, I felt a presence coming towards so just as I was leaving Kurama spoke softly "we are becoming one kit, we are the strongest of the tailed beast, so we feel things that a normal shinobi can't, when the time comes we will have to leave Konoha and go to a safe place to train, like all tailed beasts...we are born of chakra and you are beginning to gain new skills because of that" then he was gone, I wonder what he meant by that I mean weren't we already one because he's been inside of me since I was born {also what did he mean about leaving Konoha, surely we could train within the village, but then again if I am feeling the emotions of everyone, then it would be best if I left just until I can control it all} I thought slowly

Of course Tsunade isn't going to be happy about me leaving so soon, but if this is important to myself then I would need to leave, but not right now as she and everyone else would be busy sorting everything out, I might just ask Kurama another time when I'm alone "Gaara, are you alright?" I asked concerned when he got closer "Yes but your friends are looking worried about you Naruto, are you alright" he replied looking me over, I don't want him or anyone to worry about me so I put a fake smile on and answered "yes I'm fine Gaara, just resting while Kurama heals us" I could tell he didn't believe me but I was thankful when he left it alone and just stood beside me in quiet

It feels nice to just sit here and do nothing, for the last few years everything as been all about finding the Akatsuki before they became a problem, but apparently the whole organization was all a fake and it was all planned before I was even born, I can't imagine hating someone so much that I wanted to destroy everything and rule the whole world, the world wasn't meant to be ruled by only one person and hopefully because of this war, I hope the five villages can now agree to peace....a lot of people died here trying to protect the future generations, so maybe this will make them understand that all of the Kage's are needed no matter what village they are from, they're leaders are there for this exact moment to help protect their home and their future, though I still couldn't understand how someone could think this was alright and with so many lives lost, it may take a few generations to truly bring the number of shinobi back up after this war and even then, it may not be enough
