Title: My Eternity
Chapter: 1
Words: 290 (But I'll try to have longer chapters, I just wanted to get this story off the ground.)
The sound of Tsunade crying was only a faint echo within the small room. Jiraiya stood there silently, eyes down cast. For a moment they stood in silence, Tsunade's tears themselves becoming quiet.
"What does that mean? Immortal?" Naruto asked, turning to look at his old mentor.
"Immortal means not being to-"
"I know what it means," interrupted Naruto, shifting his weight slightly to the right. "But…how could that be possible?"
"…basically Naruto," Jiraiya started, the words seeming stuck in his throat. "Because of the Kyuubi your body has stopped aging."
"So…my body will stay the same until I die?"
Jiraiya couldn't bring himself to meet Naruto's eyes.
"You won't die Naruto."
"…what?" Naruto asked, glancing at the still crying Tsunade then back to the toad sage. "What do you mean I won't die? Of course I'll die."
"…what I'm trying to say Naruto is that you can't die."
Jiraiya's words hanged in the air for moment.
"Because your body is no longer aging, and the Kyuubi's charka heals any wounds you obtain within seconds, and the fact that you never had any illnesses to speak of…" Jiraiya explained, stopping only when he thought he might choke on the weight of his words.
Naruto did not notice when Tsunade's arms wrapped around him, nor did he feel her tears dampening his shirt. He toke no notice when Jiraiya started cursing the Kyuubi, and his own precious Minato in the same breath, or when he too wrapped his arms around him.
'I can't die,' the thought seemed to devour him, as if his whole life was lived for that thought. And within the darkest corner of his mind, he felt more than heard, the demon fox chuckle, finally getting his revenge.
So yeah, long time huh? High School has been taking must of my time, but this idea has been in my head for awhile.
Constructive criticism is more then welcome.
