I don't own Naruto. I'm just a lonely person playing around with Kishimoto's ideas.
In the beginning there were
two boys and
one girl.
Their names were
Sarutobi
Koharu
and Homura.
They were the first
Team Seven.
Many years had passed, and
time gave birth to a new Team Seven, lead by
the Sarutobi.
Again, it was made up of
two boys
and one girl.
Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya
were their names.
Secretly, as the Sarutobi watched them,
and taught them,
they became his own family,
but also
remnants of
the teamates he lost.
They survived.
And became the sannin.
Only one took a true genin team,
also known as
Team Seven.
As always,
two boys and
one girl.
Sarutobi Ren
Mikoto Uchiha
and
Minato Namikaze.
And then there was one.
Mikoto died in childbirth, her second.
Ren died in battle, sacrificing himself for his wife.
And Minato stood alone
left behind
reading the Memorial Stone.
And protecting the village
as it's
Hokage.
And yet again, there was one.
He took a genin team, the new
Team Seven.
Kakashi
Obito, and
Rin.
Two boys and one girls, the same as always.
As he watches them train,
as Obito comes to blows with Kakashi over some violation of the Shinobi code
and Rin breaks up the fight, laughing
he hopes that
they will never know the pain
of watching your teamates die.
And the even worse suffering
of being the one
left behind.
A scarcrow stands watch at a memorial stone, his lips twitching as
a blonde-haired boy charges a cool, colected raven
with a pink haired girl cheering them on.
When he watches his team, his family
like this, he almost feels
content.
First the serpent,
then the toad.
Tsunade reaches for a bottle of sake.
The curse of
Team Seven
has finally taken
it's toll.
And then, as it has always been,
there was one.
Two graves lay near each other.
Not side by side, as husband and wife
but just close enough to be
teamates.
A Hokage and the world's most famous medic
Leaving behind
the traitor.
It takes a long time for the glares to stop
but he deserves it.
It is a form
of his penance.
He does not know what posessed him to ask the Hokage,
(who is even younger than him)
for a genin team, but
when he is assigned Team Seven
he feels
regret.
He knows that he will fail to save them.
A blonde haired boy whose white eyes take in every sight
A red haired boy who devotes himself to taijutsu
and
A girl who no one acknowledges.
A jinchuriki with black hair,
and
the Sharingan.
His penance, and his
redemption.
And then there was one.
