Note: this is written from Kushina's POV and how I think she would be feeling about the outcome of everything, because let's face it: if you're in love you don't actually, truly want your loved one to go away (additionally I have always wondered why Minato is doing all the woeing in fanfics) and besides (and I often think about this) why did the 4th who is young do the sealing when the 3rd could have done it as well? Because he took out Orochimaru with it and is it not better with a young Hokage to lead the people instead of an old one? It just doesn't make sense to me. So this is Kushina thinking of the unfairness of it all. Criticism is wanted, though criticism like "this sucked" really isn't of that much value to me. Additionally spelling and grammar mistakes might occur, and for that I am sorry. Just notify me and I'll erase it.
Enjoy my mood of doom.
A TRY TO GRASP SOMETHING OF VALUE a fanfiction by Contrastingdeath
Life is a mystery that should never be solved, because it's old, and we have all seen what happens to aging things, it grows uglier, and life is HUGE , imagine the wrinkles and all the other things we will be faced with. No let life be alone, and investigate death instead, that's a sneaky fellow for sure, I mean, it's over so quick, and then your in afterlife or nothing at all.
Your lucky if it's nothing at all because the person who decides where you go is usually a bored person that loves to see new things like "I wonder how well a woman scared of heights will do in a dimension where you live on clouds" or "why not put that fisherman in an ocean of FIRE?!". Afterlife is a nasty, vengeful person that will without any hesitation regard any human as an ant, serving well for some entertainment during eternity. Life is a blanket shielding you from that person. Treat it well.
You should not marry a man that quite frequently increases the chance of leaving life. I had much to live for, an exciting job, wonderful friends, access to good food and a good home. I did not need a man that quite obviously was in quite the hurry to die (why else teleport yourself into the battle in the middle of enemies?). Him being a gentleman, a good chef, handsome, funny and understanding personality is no reason to tie you to him. Had I had some slice of sanity I would have turned around and ran for my life when he introduced himself the first time. But oh no, I introduced myself as well, cursing myself to forever chase him. Because there where no turning back after that. Once you name it, it is harder to get rid of it as they say.
Therefore love is more of a nasty person than afterlife because you chose by yourself to pursue that person. You need to be closer, you need to be held and cared for. Even if it's not necessary, even it's ridiculous. You love their whispered words of love, of late night dinners and coddling in the bed during the mornings. You love creating a family with him, because then you belong together. You will never leave each other. So you need to keep that person close. However, if that person has some kind of technique that allows him to travel away from you faster than you can blink, well then, then catching and getting a good hold on him becomes so much harder. But in my case, HE was never really mine, never really my son's father. He is and was always the village's prodigy and now, hero. Therefore that nasty person of afterlife gave me a nice view of my husband's suffering. Everyday I see where his decision carried him.
Away from me.
