A dead soul (Naruto Fanfiction)

An Encounter with the fox

NARUTO'S POV

I purposely aimed my land for some small bushes based on the size of the hospital I shouldn't sustain much damage. Although the bush didn't cushion my fall well it was enough to make sure I didn't break any more bones. I move up sluggishly, loud cracks sound as I move towards the boundary fence. I pull myself up and swiftly pass over it. As soon as I'm out I begin to run, no telling what the fuck that Hokage might do.

After stealing some clothes from a random washing line I pass through streets mixing in with crowds and head towards the Konoha border no point in dwindling around, I need to get the fuck out of here.

'Oi Kurama'

He hasn't been active since we left the prison, I need to get out of here for both our sakes. I run fast past multiple houses heading down back roads and jumping from rooftop to rooftop, I can see the large walls looming in the distance. I push myself to go faster and faster although to little prevail. I keep my senses heightened constantly checking my surroundings.

MINATO'S POV

I watch as the boy runs through the rooftops, slowly following at a safe distance I observe him. He is very calculating, smart, although he seems rather hot-headed, he reminds me of Kushina. Distant memories try to resurface but I push them down. I can't think about that not today at least. 

I throw a kunai at the top of the wall teleporting just before he reaches it, taking a seat. I watch as he quickly becomes aware of my presence. His face scrunches up as he slows down to a halt.  

"What do you want?" he asks in a monotone voice, his eyes look me up and down before I signal for him to have a seat.

He hesitates but lowers himself onto the top of the wall. 

"I think now would be a great time to talk" I state, turning my head towards him with a half-smile.  

I look away from him towards the stone heads on the mountain, he does the same. 

"I love this place," I say, distantly looking over the village

"Can't say I agree," he says again rather monotonously. 

"I'm sorry," I say "I have failed you, you have been hurt so much by so many people." 

He looks at me and looks down at the ground, he doesn't say anything.

"I have no excuse for what happened to you, I believed and was told you grew up in a quiet area of the village." I look back at him, analysing his eyes, eyes that shouldn't belong to a twelve-year-old. 

"12 years ago, the Kyuubi attacked the village." his head peaks up.

"It was also the day my son had was born," I say 

"It was the best and worst day of my life, as Hokage, I should be able to protect everyone. Yet I failed my son, my wife, the people of this village and you".  I say. 

"Naruto, would you be willing to let me make up for everything I have done".  I say looking deep into his eyes.

"Would you want to come and live with me, let me offer you the chance to a normal life, a chance to atone for everything that has happened to you?" I say nervously.

NARUTO'S POV

What. The. Actual. Fuck is going on. 

This man wants me to live with him, what does that even mean chained to a wall? Isn't he the reason everything ended up like this. What is going on? 

Could I trust him. 

This guy makes me feel..... safe. 

I don't feel pressured at all is he giving me the chance to live normally. What is normal life friends, school, parents? 

"I-I, you won't hurt me" I mutter 

"I promise on my soul I will never do anything to cause you pain again."

He smiles at me, his smile is so kind? if that's the right word. It makes me want to trust him but what if this is just a ploy to hurt me to break me even more. 

"I want to make it up to you, and if you hate it, if you feel uncomfortable I will let you leave in peace, but please let me try." He says looking over at smiling again. 

I feel tears begin to slip out of my eyes

"O-okay" I sputter out. 

Why the fuck did I sound like that. 

He smiles at me, he leans towards me and pulled me into a hug saying

"I'm so sorry Naruto" 

I put my arms around him and begin to cry.
