Proloque: Sacred Ceremony
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
Those were the only sounds Naruto Uzumaki heard, as he walked down the lane infront of him.
He could see the people left and right of him shouting, cheering and clapping, but he couldn't, wouldn't, didn't hear them, only the steady sound of his feet hitting the ground.
He continued on his way, flanked by two figures, shrouded in cloaks, their hitai-ite glimming despite lack of a light source.
It was a cloudless evening, the sun painting the horizon a beautiful red.
He looked at the people gathered for this ceremony, it looked like the whole village came, which wasn't really a surprise.
They waited long for this day.
He smiled when he looked infront of him at his longtime friend, who waited for him to finally reach the stage, standing on the right side of the staircase, while on the left side... on the left side stood his other childhood friend.
He was still smiling, as he finally reached the podium, walking up the staircase and onto the stage, overlooking the whole population of the village.
He turned around to the people standing on the stage with him, there were three.
The first was a woman. Who had blonde hair and looked like she was in her early twenties. This was Tsunade Senju, Godaime Hokage.
The second was an old man, who had bandages covering the right side of his face and a cane in his left hand. This was Danzo Shimura, the Yami of the Shinobi.
The third was another old man, whose face was littered with wrinkles and whose head was balding slightly. This was Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Kami of the Shinobi.
Then, the woman began to speak, in a voice reserved for such ceremonies.
"Naruto Uzumaki, welcome to your execution."
The sky was clouded now.
It would rain soon.
-End of Proloque-
What do you think? Please tell me, is it worth continuing?
My other story will probably suffer from this a little, but I'm still writing it.
