Disclaimer: I do not in any way shape or form own Naruto or any other thing related to Naruto. I have only come up with this story for the personal enjoyment of the readers and other writers here on fan fiction.
Hello everyone! This is a story idea that I came up with to see if I can write as well as some of the other writers that I hold in great esteem here on fan fiction. I just hope that if I am as good at writing as them, I do not end up having as bad of updating schedules. Well, here is the story, I hope you enjoy!
Naruto's Last Words
Chapter 1: The hanging
All I can hear right now is the crowd cheering. I hate this dreary prison, and wish they would just get it over with. I think I can finally hear someone coming for me now. Thump. Thump. Thump. Must be Ibiki, only he has boots that are that loud. He is finally at my cell door, I wonder if he will be able to find the key within the next 15 minutes? Probably not, he always has bad luck at getting the right keys for everything. Sounds like he got the right key on the first shot this time. Figures, since today is my trial. Probably does not want a filthy demon like me to live longer than I have to.
"Naruto, can you hear me? I am going to bust you out, but if I do, you have to run far away. I am probably going to die for doing this, but I have too much respect for you to have you die this way."
"No, Ibiki. I deserve this death. After what I did, how can anyone have faith in me, even myself? I am sorry, but I just want to die after what I did."
Silence. That is all I hear from Ibiki right now. "Very well then, Naruto. It is time to go to the gallows then. I hope Kami has mercy on your soul, knowing that you were always a good person, for the people of Konoha will never have mercy for you. I hope you know it was because of you why I even became a torture expert. I hated how the people of Konoha treated you, and thought they needed a lesson. Well, come on Naruto, it is time for your death. I hope you do realize that I am truly sorry for all the terrible things everyone has done to you, and that I could not help more."
"Thank you Ibiki, that means everything to me. It still does not excuse me from what I did. I must atone the only way possible for my crime. I just hope that this death sentence is enough for Konoha, because I am already dead to myself."
I am being walked up to the gallows now. I wonder if it will be quick and painless, or if it will be like some of the unlucky people and suffer for hours? I hope I will suffer for hours after what I did. I do not even deserve as glorious a death as being hanged. I wish there was a way to go back in time and change what I did.
"How do you, one Uzumaki Naruto, plead to the charges brought against you by the people of Konoha?"
I know what I am going to plead. I will ask them though, for some final words before I am executed. "I plead guilty."
"Do you have any final words or requests that you would like to present to us before you are executed?"
I know exactly what I am going to say. I just hope everyone realizes the difficulty of my life and do not thrust that kind of life onto another human being again. Not even the worst of criminals deserve my kind of life. "Yes, I do have some final words. I would like to tell a story. A story of a person who was beaten his entire life. A story of a person who found someone who actually cared about him. A story about how he lived and what he did with his life. A story about Uzumaki Naruto and how he came to be on the gallows this day."
"We can grant this request. We the people of Konoha will hear the words of our demon container. We hope they are worth our time."
"I hope my words are worth your time to. I shall begin with the Kyuubi attack. This is what happened…"
Please tell me how I did. Depending on what you, the readers and writers of fan fiction say, I may or may not even continue this story. Please also tell me what category you think this story should be placed in. Also feel free to guess what the crime Naruto committed is. I will probably tell you if you are right.
