He dreamt of flames, screams, and blood. He remembers the war cries of his people and his own as they marched to defend their home. He remembers the rusty taste in his mouth, his calloused and worn hands dipped in crimson, and his eyes misty of tears from the sight of his village falling. He remembers of the once prosperous buildings that stood tall have fallen and debris hurtling down to a citizen. He remembers of the helplessness and the eyes of his comrades. He remembers the whisper of Uzushio calling him to rest.

Uzumaki Naruto wasn't often quiet, but when he was, there would always be the way his eyes were, like the waves of a tsunami crashing on land. It brought shivers down some people's spine. Some days, he would look out the window of class and be right there, but so distant. Sometimes he had moments of brilliance and moments of stupidity, but most often than not, he had moments of homesickness. Uzumaki Naruto may forget, but the spirit of Uzushio does not, and she's calling for him to return home.

When the sun would set and the city and tides bleed to red, it would easily be one of the most breathtaking sights that ever existed. But, it was also the color of the fallen people of Uzushio, so rich in color, but so haunting. People of the whirlpools didn't speak of their home often, it left them empty and homesick. But sometimes, those who had enough courage would speak of it, and it's legacy would pass on but those who heard sometimes wondered what could've been. They ask them, and they give a rueful smile and say, home, the sanctuary from the madness of war, but it was no more, do not dwell on the past. Whirlpool was no more but to Uzumaki Naruto, it was the beginning of redemption.



// Greetings, lol, this is especially inspired by "Stormborn" by black.k.kat [ff.net] also known as black.kat on [AO3]. I was really into this, and I thought why not add some more, and there's a lot of similarities, like the Jinchuriki, but there's a few differences but I just want to create this and bring up the life of what could've been Naruto. So technically, I'm just going to give claim to black.k.kat/black.kat because she deserves all this rights. You guys should read her story/stories tho. Stormborn is amazing and I'll probably never live up to its hype but I just have this urge. But it's going to be a gen fic even though I loved the romance of "Stormborn" but I want it more familial/platonic love than a lover type.

Anyways read the actual inspo book and you'll have an idea of what I plan to write.

***In all technicalities tho, this will probably be the second priority book to my soon to be publish "Brumous" because that story has been brewing since the beginning of time and I'm hyped for that, but I'm also hyped for this, so updates would probably be split since "brumous" is going to be long compared to this.
