Living Through Time (BEING REWRITTEN)

Prologue

Hey! I know this chapter is kinda sad so I wanted to say that not all this book would be like that. I just wanted to start one a base where we can understand the way Shisui is emotionally.
~~~~~

Shisui has lost hope.

It wasn't something so hard to understand, it's not like he was thinking there was a way out to this disaster in the first place.

He knew he was hopeless, he had always knew it. But before, he had at least a small, tiny flicker of hope that everything would be alright, that this world wasn't this fuck up. That there was still a chance.

God, how he wish he wasn't so naive.

If he didn't, he wouldn't be feeling so empty right now.

The moment he jumped, years ago, from that cliff to help Itachi gain the mangekyō sharingan, he never thought, even in his worst nightmares, that his soul would stay in the land of living. That he would witness every.single.thing. that lead to humanity's downfall. That he would be stuck, watching all his family, friends and comrades perish one at the time.

Uchiha clan massacre.
Orochimaru's invasion.
And the worst of all:
The fourth great shinobi war.

He hated it.
With every fibbers of his being.

He hated seeing the way people died for a dream that meant nothing. Seeing their friends and family not having the time to properly mourn their death because of how fast other close ones died in this horrible war. He hated how children were thrown in the mixt because of the lack of soldiers.

He hated when he saw in their eyes the realization that they were fighting for a lost cause.

He hated it because it hurts so much.

And yet, at that time, he still believed that everything would turn all right.

Haha,
How pathetic.

•*•*•*•

One surviver.

There was one survivor.

Just one.

Uzumaki Naruto

Shisui release a humorless laugh, it was truly ironic. Out of all people, Naruto was the person he could understand the most. They were similar, after all.

Both were dreamers that end up loosing hope.

He wasn't gonna lie, Naruto was probably the only reason Shisui didn't turn out insane.

His cheerful persona had always managed to give him— no, everyone hope for the futur, a reason to continue fighting, a reason to continue living.

But even that big ball of sunshine has lost its light.

Now, standing in a field covered by the corpses of his dearest friends and comrades, Shisui could see it.

It wasn't shocking. It would be strange if he saw Naruto jump in joy once defeating Kaguya. He was alone now, he won the war, there is no reason to fight anymore.

What worried Shisui was that Naruto hasn't moved from his spot in days. He had a blank look, void of all hope, of all light. Like Shisui's.

Shisui floated to sit right next to the seventh Hokage, sharingan never desactivated since the day he died, making all the horrors of war forever ingraved in his brain. He glance up, staring at the man he had come to respect, watching just how tired of everything he seems.

They stayed like that for what felt like hours, mind drifting into space. One not knowing of the presence of the other.

Then Naruto slowly stood up.

"I'm sorry" Was the quiet whisper of the said man.

Shisui knew what he meant, those were the words of someone completely broken that was apologizing to everyone that sacrificed themselves for nothing. And deep down, Shisui knew that a part of Naruto felt responsable for this, because he too feel like that.

'At least Naruto helped. I did nothing.' Thought Shisui bitterly. One the inside, he felt like a failure. Every instinct in him told him to fight, yet he couldn't do anything except watch everyone he has come to appreciate die.

He had felt so useless.

His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a small shift of clothing besides him. He watched as Naruto, with the most lifeless look Shisui has ever seen one him, pick up a random kunai that was tossed on the floor from the battle days ago.

He saw Naruto's dead eyes staring at his reflection one the kunai. Shisui knew where this was going, he didn't care though. If he could find a way to end this nightmare, he would do it. Alas, ghost can't die.

The only sad thing, in Shisui's mind, is that he will be stuck alone in this place for the end of time. But even if he forced himself, he just couldn't find in him the will to think of anything out of this situation.

He gave up, everything was horrible and he finally has accepted it.

He watched silently as the last living person on Earth stab himself to death. Unconsciously leaving his suicide imprinted in the Uchiha's memories.

Now Shisui was truly alone, in a world devoid of hope.
