The Sun Also Rises
My friend, who left us for the setting sun. My friend who gave away to the gushes of wind, deviant from the still of earth ruminated in heat and green. I will wait for you, until the sun will rise again. I will wait for you, for the day when you will rise again.
The young man crested with the symbol of impurity of a war done over, unhurriedly moved past the leaves that hid the village from sight. He went on, unknowing where he would go. His eyes had traced the lands, over and over, but what he had learned had been erased by the burden that still marked his path. Although, he had come to see his malicious preamble, he was still so lost. His eyes showed him the fine lines of heat, of cataclysmic moves. But, what his eyes, and heart still knew not was redemption. How does one heal the world he broke? How does one heal himself from a burden burnt thick into the veins where the blood streamed? He did not know. But, he knew he must. He continued forward. It was all he could to learn what he had misgiven as weakness, as distraction.
Uchiha Sasuke was not easily tired. After years of training, of war, of destruction his feet could not tire at the distance of night and day. But, as he searched up to the night sky, so clear, with stars dazzling the seams like shards of diamonds, he felt the ache of the distance. He mused the first clarity of the ache of his journey. The village he had known all his life, was for the first time missed dearly. His past missions, on the way to act as savior had excited him. Then, it was an opportunity to see the arena flesh away from leaves and leaves and leaves, to earth barren of life. The earth washed with sand all throughout, with homes concrete and square that formed mazes and empire. And then so on to waters. Lands far from shore, where the mist consumed a land hidden from sight. All were exotic. All were bliss. More bliss than he could ever have from home. Because. There, there was where he thought he could prove himself. Avenge what had been taken from him. But, with excitement, there isn't always happiness. For him, there was always some pain. Pain, that even today had not gone away.
But, now, he thought of the ones who loved him, and they who he wronged. But, the war had proven that he, he was nothing more than a self righteous villain, who had destroyed.
That was not enough.
An inferiority from a massacre had pushed him to do what he had done. Taken the wrong path. Been the murderer. Unsettled at that calamity that could have been, that today was trying to be.
Naruto had brought him back to the village. But, his crimes were unforgivable. He had damned many, including herself.
Naruto, once the picker of madness for many had grown into a fine young man. The savior. His words from long ago, had come true. But, his had ended up eating him alive. Naruto had brought him back to the village. But, yet again he had left it. He had left the Team 7. That was temporarily restored, with Sakura and Kakashi Sensei. This time, she knew it was what he had to do. He had to find redemption in himself, and in the village he had broken for the sake of his grievances. The path was long and hard, demented by reason and heart and every man and woman who stared as he walked forward. Tried to.
But, he would go, with his crest of impurity. An impurity caused by the grievance he spurred.
I have left for the setting sun. I have given myself to the winds that were deviant, from the cool of earth. Wait for me Naruto. Sakura. Until I rise again. Wait for me, until the sun as my promise, will rise.
Look forward to it.
