The Fox Spirit and The God of Yin

Ch.11 Biting off More Than I Can Chew

The blonde boy fell to the ground staring at the lifeless faces of his two guardians. The only family he had, or known. At first he was in shock, his eye widening at the scene. Then slowly the tears started to pour out, one by one they trickled down his face and hitting the ground.

"Iruka?" Young Naruto's shaky voice echoed through the forest. "Mitsuki?"

Desperately he tried to crawl towards the two body's, tripping and trembling. His legs went numb. Once he was close enough to reach them he grabbed there hands. Then a little cry escaped his mouth.

'It's cold.'

'So cold.'

Suddenly the scene went blank and the locked memories were stoped. Everything was surrounded by darkness. Slowly all three of them came back to reality. Naruto jerked his hands out of his parents hands, almost falling. Minato and Kushina were stunned. Unconsciously they began to cry too.

Naruto was standing there shaking but his mother caught his eye. She she creepily turned her head at him tears still streaming down her face, but the look on her face was so different from how it usually is. There was no love in her eyes. "Why did you stop it? What are you hiding?"

"W-what?"

The blonde shuddered at her voice. It was so devote of emotion, her words rung through his body. Strangely enough as soon as he forced himself to look at her again she was back to normal. Like nothing happened.

She met his gaze and had such a caring look in her eyes. He was confused. 'What was that?'

"Naruto, are you ok?" The red haired lady asked. He didn't say anything at first, then he took a deep breathe calming his nerves.

"I'm alright. I just didn't want you to see my younger self cry like that. I know that you both love me, so I don't want to show you something that causes you pain." He said, reaching out his hand to both of them so they could get up. The red haired lady hugged her son and held on to him tight.

"I'm so sorry Naruto." His parents said.

Naruto didn't want to hurt them and definitely didn't want to cry in front of them, but he was helpless. The warm hug, loving eyes and the tears that seemingly dropped for him, melted his heart. Minato joined in holding both of them close. Naruto started to forget about the weird thing he saw.

"We have caused you so much pain." They cried more and the three stayed that way for a while. Naruto didn't respond, he stayed silent letting himself feel the love.

"Do you want to go home." Minato asked. The blonde smiled and nodded his head.

"Yeah, let's go home." Surrounding them was the white wind. Picking up leaves and pebbles swirling like a tornado. The blonde held tight on to them wishing to find some sort of comfort.

Teleporting back home, Minato and Kushina still felt that there son was still distressed. The red haired lady tucked some of Naurto's hair behind his ear, giving him a warm smile to make him feel better. "Naruto, would you like to sit with us? You don't have to if you don't want to." Minato asked.

Naruto didn't want to disappoint them but he wouldn't like it if he brought down there mood. He just wanted to sort his thoughts and process everything. Naruto had his hands together, using his thumb to go over his scar.

"Um, I really want to, but I'm kinda tired." Minato and Kushina smiled and she patted his shoulder.

"Of course, go rest." She said. "You had a long day, we can talk during dinner." Minato continued. Naruto smiled and hugged them, he was glad they weren't disappointed in him or thought he was weak in some type of way. He whispered thank you to them and left to his room.
