Living Through Time (BEING REWRITTEN)

A chance to go back

Shisui didn't know how much time he stayed sitting like that.

Probably months, seeing as the corpse were now just pack of bones on the floor.

He didn't move from his spot since Naruto's death.

Why would he? There wasn't anything else to watch. No humanity. Just the remains of the people who once fought for peace.

With all this time, he thought of all the mistakes that lead to this moment. Memories were the only thing he has now, so he just pass the time by remembering them.

"Oh my! What are you doing here, child?" A voice asked, obviously referring to Shisui.

It should have been a surprise that someone was there, and even more that someone was able to see him, but Shisui made no sign to acknowledge the voice.

He didn't care.

"And here I thought I could have a friendly chat with someone." the person sighed, standing a few meters away from him. The figure looked at the destruction and corpses surrounding them, before letting his gaze rest on the teen.

"This world truly took a turn to the worst, I would have never imagined that human would all perish. That was certainly... surprising. Isn't it, Uchiha Shisui?" The figure stated with a calming and somewhat soothing voice.

How the man knew his name? Shisui had no idea.

But did he care? Nope.

He didn't even spare the man a glance. He already knew that humanity was dead, he had watched it die before his very own eyes.

Talk about stating the obvious.

"I'm sorry you had to watch that, Shisui." The man continued,"But I had a feeling something like that would happen, so I wanted you to see.".

Okay, that made Shisui look at him.

So he was the one who made him watch all the world die little by little? If he was the same person he was years ago, he would have screamed in the face of the man, demanding a reason to do that.

But he was so tired, that he only found the strength in himself to ask a single question, voice devoid of emotion:

"Why?"

A few seconds pass, letting the question take its meaning. The man knew what he was talking about, but still wanted the teen to explain.

"Why what, Shisui?".

Shisui just stared at the man, with those tired, bottomless black eyes. He didn't respond immediately. And just when the older one thought he would remain silent, the teen spoke.

"What I meant is why would you do that? I don't see any reason to make me watch all these things." Shisui's eyes grow colder,"And if all of this was supposed to be a joke, it's not funny."

"Woah! Eh! I didn't do it for fun! I promise you, there is a reason for that."

"Then what is?" He responded bluntly.

The man turned, back facing Shisui. His voice was very soft, saturated with remorse. So much that it made Shisui feeling a bit uncomfortable. He said. "To explain everything to you, I guess I have to start at the beginning. Shisui, do you have any idea of who I am?"

"No." Well, the response was simple.

" Very well, then I shall introduce myself. " The man offered a small smile to the other." Hello Shisui, I am Hagoromo Otsutsuki, or mostly known as the Sage of Six Paths. I am happy to finally meet you."
