Repaying a Debt


"I wish to take the child under my wing, with proper training he can be the perfect shinobi, the perfect jinchuuriki, the ultimate weapon" said the frail old man with black shaggy hair, as he tapped the floor with the cane in his left hand. The old man held a x-shaped scar on his chin, giving off a sense of mystery and with his right eye bandaged, he seemed to give off an aura that presented danger and wisdom. He wore a white shirt, with a black or dark grey robe over the top of it covering from his feet, to just over his right shoulder. The robe concealed his right arm, making it look like his right arm was missing but the slight lump that ran across his waist showed his arm was still there.

A man of equal age to the other sighed loudly, turning to look at the other, he sucked on the pipe he held in his mouth and blew a soft cloud of smoke into the air "That's not going to happen Danzo, I told you as well as the council, he will grow up like any other child, if he decides to become a shinobi its completely up to him. Just because of what's inside him doesn't mean we have to keep him on a leash like an animal"

Danzo visibly frowned and walked up beside the other man, looking over the mans clothing, Danzo felt a sudden flame of anger and jealousy build up inside him 'I should be wearing those robes'

"You've grown attached to the boy Hokage sama, you know this, you're letting your emotions cloud your judgment"

The robed man looked back at Danzo, his wrinkles easily seen with the soft glow of the sunset.

"I am not acting out on my emotions, I am doing what's right, besides he has a family that wishes to take him in. And I've accepted their request"

Danzo remained stoic as ever, his frown gone as he looked over the village below "May I ask who 'adopted' the boy?"

The old man chuckled softly and looked at Danzo with a small smile "Hiashi and Hana Hyuga,"

Danzo hummed softly, turned around and walked away. The other man watched Danzo with a curious gaze and pulled the pipe out of his mouth and spoke "You seem to have given up on your goal Danzo san"

Danzo stopped and glanced over his shoulder, a barely visibly smirk on his lips as he responded "If the boy is raised by the Hyuga, he will surely have the best teachers given to him. Don't forget the Hyuga are specialist's when it comes to chakra control. Being an Uzumaki he already has large chakra reserves, and we can't forget who his father was so that doubles his reserves, and with the Kyubi, that triples it, he will be a chakra monster. Who better than a Hyuga to train him to control his chakra?"

The old man nodded in agreement and hummed softly "Well I guess were done with this conversation then? It won't be brought up again I hope?"

Danzo nodded and walked toward the steps but stopped when the other man spoke again "If I ever hear that you bothered the Hyuga or talked with the boy when he grows older, I will have every shinobi in this village look for your Root base"

Danzo simply walked away, his form disappearing down the steps as a simple thought ran through his head 'Will you even still be alive when I do? Sarutobi san?"

Hiruzen sighed and looked over the village, the sun gone but replaced with the rising moon, the lavender color reminding the hokage of a certain clan.

'They won't let anything happen to the boy, I just hope the elders will leave Hana and Hiashi alone when it comes to Naruto'


Two Months Later


Hiruzen could be seen sitting at a large wooden desk with stacks of papers piling over it. The simple frown Sarutobi wore could easily show anyone who came into his office that he wasn't happy with how tall the stacks of papers or documents were, but his frown turned into a small smile when he heard a small coo echo in the room.

Sarutobi looked over to his left to see a small infant baby stretching in a regular sized crib. The baby was simply moving around the crib, stretching and mumbling to itself as it relaxed. The sight alone made Sarutobi smile and continue with his work happily.

"Oi, Naruto kun, its almost 9:30! You should be asleep by now, but knowing who your mother is you must have a lot of energy don't you?"

The hokage received a simple giggle in response making the Sarutobi clan head smile yet again and chuckle "Let me finish up with this paper work Naruto kun and then we can go home," Sarutobi swiftly yet carefully began to sign some of the papers he had read through and felt his heart soar when the baby continued to talk to itself.

"I almost forgot to tell you Naruto kun, Hiashi and Hana have been preparing they Hyuga compound for your arrival and they are almost finished. The elders were giving them a tough time about you living with them but they were able to make a deal with the elders to have you live in your own area on the estate," Sarutobi received a small gleeful cry from the baby.

"How does that sound to you Naruto kun? Your own little area in the Hyuga compound! Just a couple more days and I won't be able to spoil you anymore" Sarutobi received what sounded like a small whine, and it made him start to laugh loudly as the baby slowly began to fall asleep.

Sarutobi continued to chuckle to himself as he calmly fixed the stacks of paper on his desk "Ok Naruto kun, lets head home, I'll make sure to make your bottle right this time!"

Sarutobi stood up and walked toward the crib humming softly to himself as he picked up the sleeping infant. Looking over the sleeping child with pure love and adoration he kissed the baby's forehead and felt a pang of guilt stab his heart as he whispered to the sleeping baby "You really do look like your parents Naruto"

Sarutobi rocked the sleeping infant carefully and walked out of his office. Looking at the two Anbu who stood on either side of the door, he smiled warmly at both of them and cleared his throat before speaking.

"I am heading home, I suggest you two do the same,"

Both Anbu nodded and watched as their Hokage began to walk away, but before he disappeared around the corner he turned around with his smile still present and spoke "You two have been stuck with guarding my office for the past week, take two days off and enjoy yourselves, you deserve it,"

The Anbu operatives both looked at one another and looked back at their kage and bowed while speaking in unison "Arigato Hokage sama"

The kage simply chuckled at the action and responded with "Your welcome"

The Anbu operatives were both getting ready to depart but suddenly one of them quickly spoke up before their kage disappeared around the corner "Hokage sama, who's going to be escorting you home?"

Sarutobi felt his smile grow when he heard the deep concern the Anbu operative held in his voice as he asked him the question, and simply looking over his shoulder with a kind smile, he responded "Tiger, Dog and Hog will be escorting me home, there's nothing for you two to worry about, now hurry on home, its late, and I'm sure you two want some alone time"

The Anbu operatives both visibly stiffened at their kages words, the women rubbing her arm in embarrassment while the male anbu placed his gaze on the floor.

"Dog told me about you two, and if I have to be honest, you two do make a cute couple"

Sarutobi felt his smile grow when he watched the Anbu operatives look at each other, the small gleam of love they held for each other burning passionately in their eyes as they smiled underneath their masks.

"With that said I will leave you two alone, and I bid you a goodnight" With that said, Sarutobi disappeared around the corner leaving the two shinobi alone.

"I told you Senpai knew about our relationship"

"Shut up or you're sleeping on the couch tonight"


Saying goodnight to the secretary Sarutobi walked slowly yet swiftly as he could down the steps of the tower, and as he made it down the steps he felt his smile grow as he made it out of the hokage tower to see the most beautiful sight before him.

The moon was beautifully displayed in the night sky as the stars began to wake. Sarutobi walked through the bare streets of the village as the stars slowly began to dance. The very few that walked the streets were merchants closing their shops or couples heading home from dates.

Each civilian respectfully bowed to the Hokage, each one receiving a loving smile, and nod from the Sarutobi clan head. The children that were still awake were loud, but the arguments between child and parent made Sarutobi chuckle as he heard the children beg their parents to let them stay up.

Turning around a corner, Sarutobi quickly noticed a small group of men talking and laughing with each other. The group quickly noticed the Hokage and bowed, some of the men stumbling or giggling as they did.

Sarutobi smirked "I presume you are all heading home?"

The group of men smiled cheekily as they stood straight up and nodded "Hai Hokage sama, our friend here has been told his wife is pregnant! We went out to celebrate, but it seems we may have gone a little bit crazy with the sake"

The men all laughed loudly at the man who held a healthy blush on his cheeks, but it was clear that the man was not flustered, just tipsy.

"Then be on your way, and congratulations, tell your wife that I am happy for the two of you"

One of the men who seemed to be a few years younger than the rest smiled widely and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment "I will hokage sama! Thank you"

With that said the group of men began to walk away, one somehow getting the others to start singing as they walked down the empty streets.

Sarutobi watched the group of men quietly before he let out a small chuckle and continued home. Taking another turn, Sarutobi found himself near a small park surrounded by the woods. He noticed the small fireflies dancing in the air and smiled to himself yet again as he saw the now awoke infant looking up into the sky with a sense of wonder in his eyes.

"It's a beautiful night isn't Naruto kun? We're almost home, just a few more minutes"

The infant let out a small squeal in response as Sarutobi followed a small trail through the park.

The beauty of the forest alone made Sarutobi stop in his tracks and look around. The small flame in his chest grew as he burnt the memory of the park in his mind.

"Lovely night it is" and with that said Sarutobi began to walk again, but a body suddenly fell from one of the trees and hit the ground with a loud thud just a few feet away from Sarutobi's right. Acting on pure instinct alone, Sarutobi quickly jumped away from the body and began to scan the tree tops carefully. Looking for anything that seemed out of place.

He hugged the infant close to his chest as he looked around, ignoring the three figures appearing beside him.

"Hokage sama we have to get you out of here!"

Sarutobi looked over at the figures and quickly noticed the animal-styled porcelain masks the figures wore, as well as the spiral tattoo on their left shoulder and their uniforms.

The uniforms itself was surprisingly simple, they had long black pants that looked taped at the ankles, with a matching black shirt that had no sleeves showing off their shoulders as well as the spiral tattoo on their left shoulder. They wore a grey flak jacket on top of the black shirt, that had three ninja pouches on their back-waist. They also wore metal arm guards with long black gloves that went up to their elbows, and they wore regular black ninja sandals.

"Dog, I want you to take Naruto, take him to my home and do not leave his side. I will go to the bunker until this is sorted out. Tiger I want you to alert the rest of the Anbu and find whoever is doing this! No one is to leave there homes! Anyone found in the streets must be escorted home, do I make myself clear?"

The anbu operatives both nodded and gave a loud "Hai" to their hokage and took off, the one with a tiger styled porcelain mask disappeared in a shunshin while the one wearing the dog styled porcelain mask took the infant and disappeared into the tree tops. His gravity defying gray hair the last thing Sarutobi saw as he took the softly crying infant.

"Hokage sama watch out!"

The other Anbu operative jumped in front of Sarutobi and with great speed began to weave through hand seals "Tiger, Hare, Boar, Dog"

The Anbu operative swiftly slammed their hands against the ground as they shouted

"Doton: Doryūheki!"

In a blink of an eye a large mud like wall erupted from the earth and became a shield for the anbu operative as well as Sarutobi when a large fireball struck against the wall.

The large flame quickly began tearing the wall apart but it wasn't able to completely shatter the wall when it ceased.

Sarutobi quickly tore off his Hokage robe and stood proudly in a black jumpsuit, with mesh segments over the lower portions of his limbs, and a green gauntlet that covered much of his right arm. He also wore an armored hood with a bandanna-like forehead protector.

"Show yourselves you cowards!" The simple taunt Sarutobi threw worked when slowly, bits and pieces of the shadows began to move and form into figures dressed in completely black. The pure black porcelain masks they wore were blank, only allowing you to focus on their dead eyes.

"Which village are you affiliated with?" The Anbu guard shouted out as he stood by Sarutobi quickly, when he received no response, he growled quietly to himself and whispered to his kage "Hokage sama, we need to retreat, there's to many. I will get you to your bunker safely, this I promise"

Sarutobi nodded and when he gave the Anbu operative a soft "Hai" they both took off into the trees, the shadow like figures following after them with great speed.

But they didn't expect a group much larger than the one they encountered to be coming at them from the front. With great precision, the anbu threw kunai at the shadow like figures and quickly turned left when he noticed another group coming from their right.

The Anbu operative growled softly when he noticed that the large group of shadows were still following them. He could easily hear the ones hiding in the cover of the trees on his right and left, leaving only one way to go.

"Hokage sama, they're taking us to the outskirts of the village, it's a trap"

Sarutobi simply nodded at this and listened to the almost silent footsteps and grunts the enemy gave as they pursued them.

"For now, we will do what they want, I thought this was just another assassination attempt but no enemy village could get this many ninja into the village without us noticing, this only leaves us with one possibility"

The Anbu operative sighed softly and spoke "a coup d'etat"

Sarutobi looked over his shoulder and sighed as well "Only an Uchiha could create such a fire jutsu, and with how big the group is, i wouldn't be surprised if it was all the men gathered together"

Sarutobi quickly turned around and with great speed began to weave through hand seals "Ram, Horse, Snake, Dragon, Rat, Ox, Tiger"

Taking a big gulp of air Sarutobi felt his cheeks puff up and his chest expand, he easily noticed the group of shadows following begin to take cover, but he wouldn't allow them the luxury "Katon: Karyū Endan!"

Blowing out all the air Sarutobi had sucked in, a large fire ball headed straight toward the group of shadows. Many who saw the jutsu coming quickly evaded it while half were quickly turned to ash. The fire jutsu itself was deadly but only after a few seconds the flames seemed to grow and slowly turn a darker red.

The trees behind the group of shadows quickly began to burn and send smoke into the air.

Sarutobi turned back around and ran alongside the Anbu, the hokage easily noticed the Anbus eyes widening behind his mask at what he just did.

"Hokage sama were still close to the village!"

Sarutobi continued to run through the tree tops with the Anbu, he remained stoic as ever and looked over his shoulder. He smirked when he saw that the group of shadows stopped, and did a simple water jutsu to kill the flames that continued to burn the trees.

"They stopped to extinguish the flames, an enemy village would never do such a thing,"

The anbu looked over his shoulder as well and watched as the group easily extinguished the flames and carried on like nothing happened.

"It seems like you're right Hokage sama, but I've never met an Uchiha who could perform a Suiton jutsu"

Sarutobi hummed at that and looked over his shoulder again "That doesn't mean they are innocent, you forget the few shinobi in the Konoha ranks that believe the Uchiha clan should run the village, they would help in any way if the Uchiha asked them"

The Anbu operative kept silent when hearing that, he had plenty of moments when he conversed with fellow shinobi that believed the Uchiha clan should the run the village because they were the 'strongest' clan in their village and because of their background with the making of the village.

"You may be right Hokage sama, if this is true, then we're going to have a civil war on our hands"

Sarutobi nodded and looked up at the night sky with a small frown 'Why did it have to come to this? Danzo was right, the Uchiha must have been behind the kyubi atta-'

A distant wail echoed in the forest, its cry made Sarutobi quickly stop in his tracks and look in the direction it came from. The wail reminded him to much of a certain baby, and within a split second, Sarutobi turned to his right while grabbing the Anbu and sped off toward the soft wails of an infant.

"Hokage sama! We need to go to the bunker!"

The Anbu's cries fell on deaf ears as Sarutobi ran toward the growing wails of the baby. They were now in the outskirts of the village, but Sarutobi didn't care. All that mattered was to get to the crying child, and save him.

"Naruto!"

"Hokage sama wait! It has to be a trap!"

Yet again Sarutobi ignored the Anbu and jumped into the small clearing, he could still hear the baby crying loudly. But it seemed to surround the Hokage and his guard, almost as if the cries came from every direction.

"Naruto! Naruto!" you could hear the panic in the Hokages voice

"Hokage sama we shouldn't be here!"

The Anbu operative look around closely and growled as he noticed the shadows were moving. The pure black porcelain masks slowly emerged and stood proudly in the moonlight. Any direction the Anbu operative looked there was a group of six shadows staring back at him.

They were surrounded

"Hokage sama"

Sarutobi could clearly hear the Anbu's frustration when he saw that they were surrounded, and when he looked at the Anbu he saw the small flash of fear in his eyes.

"I'm so sorry, I put us in this situation, I promise I will get us out of it"

The Anbu merely shook his head and pulled out a kunai "Please don't apologize Hokage sama, you acted like any person would when a loved one was in danger. I would have done the same if I was in your position"

"Yes, but since your Hokage blindly followed his emotions, its cost you your life"

Sarutobi's eyes widened when he saw Danzo standing a few feet in front of him with Naruto in his arms. But before he could speak, he felt the ground beneath him shake. In a split second the ground underneath the anbu and Hokage let out a loud cracking noise which followed with a rock like pillar hoisting the Anbu and hokage into the air.

'Doton justu!' With that simple thought Sarutobi jumped off, dodging or blocking the hail of kunai that came at him as he fell and safely landed on his feet in a defensive position.

But the Anbu operative was another story, he had leapt off of the rock just as quickly, and was able to dodge and block most of the kunai, but three were able to break through his defense. Two of the kunai easily pierced his skin, one of which was in his left thigh, the other was imbedded into right shoulder and the last one going perfectly through his left pectoral and out his back.

Falling to the ground on his knees the Anbu operative's eyes widened in pain as he looked down at his chest. Noticing the small hole on the left side of his chest, he quickly applied pressure to the wound and looked up when he heard Sarutobi yell at him.

As he looked up he felt his stomach drop when he heard a shout come from one of the shadows in the forest "Doton: Ganchūsō!"

Before the Anbu operative could jump away he felt his body lift a few feet into the air. He quickly gagged and coughed loudly for everyone to hear, and within a second he stopped moving and fell silent.

With the red liquid running down his neck and dripping from the bottom of his mask it was obvious that the anbu operative was dead. Especially when a few spikes made out of pure rock were protruding from the ground around the Anbu operative, with only one of the earth like spears going straight through his stomach.

Sarutobi felt his heart break at the sight of the Anbu but he quickly pushed his feelings aside and glared at Danzo "What is the meaning of this!?"

Danzo simply looked at Sarutobi with disdain, and carefully placed the baby into one of the shadows arms.

"You've always been a fool Hiruzen. Its obvious what's going on, I'm taking over, and you are the only obstacle in my way of achieving my dream"

Sarutobi growled loudly and felt his blood boil when he continued to hear the baby wail and cry.

"Danzo, I'm giving you the chance to return Naruto to me, and surrender, if you don't, then I won't hesitate to kill you"

Danzo simply smirked and tapped the ground with his cane twice, making every shadow pull out a weapon of their choice and wait for the command.

"I would very much like to battle with you Hiruzen but time is running short, your anbu will be here soon and your death will help put my plan into motion"

Danzo turned away from Sarutobi and carefully took the baby back into his arms, with a final nod to the black porcelain masks he walked away and slowly started to fade into the shadows of the forest.

"Kill him"

Sarutobi quickly ran forward, confident that he was going to kill Danzo but before he could get far he was met with a barrage of kunai. Jumping back in time Sarutobi felt his vision blur for a split second but he simply ignored it and quickly began to get into a taijutsu fight with the shadows.

"Danzo!" Sarutobi's loud yell echoed in the forest and held so much anger and hatred that it sounded off for the kind Hokage to have. But after that simple shout the Sarutobi clan head was killing the shadows left and right.

The Hokage easily dodged and blocked the kicks, punches, or swipes of the weapons the shadows threw at him. Each attack he dodged or blocked he would return with a powerful punch or kick that would make the shadows fly back or slam roughly into the ground with a sickening crunch echoing in the midnight air.

Each one he would kill would be replaced with another and quickly noticing Danzo was almost out of sight, he jumped back and landed on top of the raised earth from the Doton jutsu from earlier and with great speed began to go through hand seals 'Rat, Tiger, Dog, Ox, Rabbit, Tiger'

"Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu!"

Keeping the tiger seal underneath his lips, Sarutobi quickly began to shoot small volleys of fire balls at the gathered group of shadows. The shadows tried their hardest to dodge the flames but it was proven difficult to dodge the Hokages katon attack, especially how the flames seemed to fly at them in an unpredictable manner.

'Now's my chance'

Sarutobi quickly leapt into the trees and with great speed, ran in the direction Danzo went with the baby.

'It's obvious that its not the Uchiha, which only leaves Root nin, it seems Danzo never truly stopped that wretched program"

Sarutobi looked over his shoulder to see the large group of Root nin chasing after him still, he was able to decrease the group throughout the fights but they still seemed to have the advantage of numbers on him.

Finally getting frustrated Sarutobi listened closely to his surroundings and when hearing what seemed to be a river straight ahead he felt smirk grow on his lips and quickly sped up. After a minute of running, Sarutobi made it to a clearing and nodded to himself when he stared directly at a good-sized river. Sarutobi leapt across the river and quickly turned around and waited for the Root nin to make their presence.

Slowly going through hand seals, he listened carefully for any sign of the Root nin catching up to him, and when he heard a small twig snap he sped up his hand seals finishing with 'Dragon'

"Doton: Doryūdan!"

The mud near the river swiftly joined together and created what seemed to be a dragon head, the sight alone made Sarutobi smirk especially when the dragon quickly opened its mouth and began shooting mud balls toward the direction Sarutobi heard the twig snap. As the mud balls were in midair, Sarutobi quickly threw his kunai at each individual mud ball with what seemed to be a tag attached to the kunai.

In that very moment, the Root nin all came sprinting or jumping from the cover of the trees, and when they noticed the Hokage waiting for them they all felt their stomachs drop.

Sarutobi swiftly placed his hand into a tiger seal and sucked in a large breath to quickly exhale a large flame at the mud balls "Katon: Karyūdan!"

The Root nin did their best to dodge the mudballs, but they weren't prepared for the mudballs to explode beside them. Many were killed in the blasts while the rest were killed by the large flame Sarutobi created. It only made it worse when the mud dragon continued to spew more mudballs which caught flame with Sarutobi katon jutsu creating what looked like mini meteors.

Sarutobi released the tiger seal and took in a small breath we he noticed that the Root nin were nothing but ash now.

Sighing with relief Sarutobi fell to his knee to catch his breath, but he suddenly found his breathing slowly becoming ragged with each inhale he took. He suddenly felt heavy and his chest seemed to tighten as his heart suddenly began to speed up, allowing him to feel his heart pounding against his chest.

"W-what's happening to me?"

Sarutobi felt his throat dry up which in turn made him want to crawl over to the river and help his throat but his legs and arms slowly became numb.

As Sarutobi sat on his knees trying to figure out what was wrong, he easily picked up footsteps approaching him from behind. Which in turn made him look over his shoulder painfully, and when he saw who it was he growled despite how his throat felt and glared at the man who stood behind him.

Danzo

"I must apologize Sarutobi san, for me to use such a cowardice tactic makes me sick, but I knew in the end you would put up a fight. Especially if it was for 'safety' of the boy, so I had my Root nin poison you the day before, I am pleased to see that it has the desired affects. It will prove useful in the future, especially if a kage couldn't detect it"

Sarutobi coughed loudly and felt a warm liquid spew from his mouth as he did, but he ignored it, he knew exactly what it was.

"H-How?"

"Ever since you took the boy in Hiruzen, you hardly get time to smoke. And like any smoker, when you quit you have your own special tick, your own way of coping and keeping your urges at bay. You would chew the end of your pens when you were craving a simple smoke, so I had my Root nin sneak in during the night and lace the ends of your pens,"

'He laced the ends of my pens with poison, how could I have been so careless?'

"I wish it would have never come to this, but you left me with no choice. The boy will become a great ninja, I promise you that"

Sarutobi growled again and swallowed the cough that tried to escape from his throat "A-a slave is what the boy will b-become! Especially if he is r-raised by you!" Sarutobi coughed again, a red liquid staining the floor as he tried his hardest to calm his breathing.

Danzo simply walked closer to Sarutobi and allowed him to see the katana he held in his hand.

"I'm surprised your Anbu haven't caught up with you yet, but once seeing this battle sight. They'll know that you fought till your last breath, and when they find the poison in your system they will presume you were injected with it during one of your fights"

Sarutobi sat on his knees quietly as he gasped and heaved, his chest moving up and down very quickly showing the poison was working more quickly.

"K-k-kakashi will know that it was you,"

Danzo smirked and placed the tip of the katana against Sarutobi's back and whispered into Hiruzen's ear

"My Root nin didn't retrieve the boy, your little maid did," Sarutobi's eyes widened at that and he listened closely to what Danzo had to say.

"Your house maid lost her family during the kyubi attack, I found her drinking her sorrows away and I felt bad for the poor girl, so I offered her a job," Sarutobi could easily picture the smug look on Danzo's face.

"It was easy enough to list her as dead during the attack, her name would just be one of thousands so no one would have questioned it. Giving her a new identity, she easily infiltrated your home, gaining your trust,"

"I had her use a toxin your dear student Tsunade made during the war, and she was able to knock Kakashi san out and retrieve the boy but sadly she didn't make it," Danzo licked his lips and looked at the burnt bodies of his root nin float down the river.

"I was worried it wouldn't have worked since Kakashi is no regular ninja, but somehow she did it. Obviously Kakashi san didn't go down without a fight and was able to wound her. She bled out at the rendezvous point, and with her death, the council will think she was a spy or traitor of the leaf village, helping with the death of their beloved Hokage and kidnapping their most prized weapon"

Sarutobi sighed and felt the corner of his eyes sting as he looked up at the starry night sky "Naruto,"

Danzo quietly began to push the blade through Sarutobi's back earning a soft grunt from the Hokage and when the blade was an inch away from piercing Hiruzen's heart, Sarutobi allowed the tears to trickle down his cheeks "Please, forgive me"

Sarutobi gasped and felt the world around him grow dark as his head bowed, allowing him to see the blade protruding from his chest, smeared with his blood.
