Prologue
Because life is uncertain. When people usually says your fate has already been decided, no, because you wouldn't know what your future lies ahead in front of you. There might be some sort of factor that create a change to what would become of yourself. The story of this young man will certainly make you understand the feeling of what is call, restart.
The feeling of walking on the water, with fire spirits along the path, a young man walked towards the big gate. The gate was enormous that he was only a size of a dog compare to it. He showed no sign of panic and calmly inhaled the air. There was no turning back as the confidence inside him rised up. A big clock moved and hanged on the gate. Wondering with so many thoughts, with his partner inside of him talking to him, mentioning about what could have gone wrong and how much it could cost his life.
Without any further second thoughts, two calloused hands pushed the doors and the light kept gotten brighter and the whites took over the place.
I just want to understand more about this world.
The world they so-called comrades are ninjas. Mistakes occurred in every steps of his life. Incidents and events that shouldn't be happening affected important people, changing their lives and their personalities. A new person. Some darkness took controlled and some light showed them into the right path.
Eyes slowly opened with something so soft poking his left cheek, his back was touching the grass, realizing he was laying on the ground. His cerulean blue eyes met black eyes. When his eyes looked through those black eyes, it was a sign of happiness. It filled was so much love, comparing with this pair of eyes he had stared into before. This little boy poked onto his cheek with great concern. The look of this boy faced make him want to tear up so badly because the pain that that person carried out took lots of effects on him.
"Hey, old man, you're awake now."
This definitely was Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke, the boy who had to endured the name of Uchiha, when the Uchiha massacre occurred, this cheerful child had nothing left. Being hurt and torned by his own brother, Uchiha Itachi. Most likely, Itachi got no choice but to kill the Uchihas in order to keep peace with the village. No, Danzo was the person behind all this. He thought Uchiha Itachi was one of the most generous people he ever met, carrying all the burdens, finishing off his clan by his own hands. He couldn't kill his own brother. That was such pitiful life of Uchiha Itachi.
"Ah."
No words could have been utter in this instant. Looking at his body, he sighed. His body didn't turned back when he was the same age as Sasuke, instead, his age was around fifteen. The same age where he finished his 3-year training with Jiraiya. This must be the side effect of the jutsu. Then it hit him. So there was him right now, sitting up, then what would happened to himself. Well, looking at Sasuke, he looked like he was seven or eight years old. Smiling a little with eyebrows up a bit, thinking he would be older and would think of Sasuke as younger brother.
"Old man, how come you're sleeping here?"
"Uh."
Only strange words came out. He didn't focus at this young boy, but his clothes.
He was wearing a blue long sleeves that is kind of a sweater with Uzumaki symbol on the shoulder, blue pants, and blue shoes. His necklace that was given by Tsunade was still there. Sasuke moved closer and he grabbed a hold of his hands to help him stand up. His hands were so soft. He never get to hold Sasuke's hands like this, neither throughout his existence.
"Old man, who are you?"
His name. The name where he lived as a best friend of Sasuke, interested in Haruno Sakura, trained under Hatake Kakashi and one of the sannins, Jiraiya. Now, everything he built will be changed. After all, this was his decision. He wanted this boy in front of him, found his happiness, not living alone. He just wanted to be with him in every step of his life. He smiled.
"Naruto. My name is Naruto."
