Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
I have tried my hardest to understand you Naruto Uzumaki. Even with my near infinite knowledge and wisdom you remain a mystery to me. The problem is…I do not understand why you try so hard to gain the companionship of these humans, when in the end it is pointless. No matter how hard you try boy, they will leave you.
For as long as you have lived I have had the displeasure of watching your life. I have watched you grow craving the attention of your people, there love, and respect. I asked why but no answer came. I have watched you make friends with people who had tried to kill you, again I asked why but no answer came. The more I watched the more frustrated I became. These people who you grew close to may have seem like life long companies to you but I never saw this.
From the beginning of my imprisonment I realized something. That I was forever trapped in you till your death claimed us both. I realized that if I was to live on even if it meant being in you, I must ensure your survival how ever I could. For this reason alone I made sure your injuries were healed and you had my chakra when needed.
But slowly I began to see something else. Through the assassins that came at you as a child, I was there to make sure your injuries never killed you. When you lay in bed at night wondering if you would make it though the night, I lay in the back of your mind, as a silent…friend so to speak. Even through you're hardest of times. I was always there, in the shadows yes but there none the less.
You say I am to blame for your difficult life. That may be true, but that matter not. Even if I was sealed in you or not your life would have remained difficult. If it would have been less or more I could not say. But with me being sealed in you, you have something that not many have. You have someone who will always be there. You have a companion that is truly life long.
You say you have friends? True, this I can not dought. You have many friends all over the continent. But only time will tell if they remain as such. One day they can be your best of friends then the next try to kill you, that boy Sasuke is a clear example.
You hate me, you wish to see me disappear, and you wish to be with out me…you say these things but I come to wonder if that is what you really want? What would you do if I left you? I believe if the day ever came I left you, you would suffer. Not in the way of pain but more a small ache. Your life would improve yes, and more people would care for you yes. But if I left you would lose the small comfort in knowing that no mater the situation…you are never alone. Even if you do admit it, I am sure that knowing this brings you some fall bit of peace.
I do not believe you understand now, or possibly you just do not wish to believe it, how could you if you have so many that care for you. But I ensure you there will come a time when those you would die for turn on you, and you will see that the only friend you have had…is me.
I always wounded if Kyuubi or Naruto ever thought of this. How they are always with each other even if they don't want to admit it.
Oh well leave a comment. I'm curious to see if any one else thinks the same thing.
