I don't own Naruto.
I can't say I love/adore Naruhina or I might be murdered …painfully…by a doctor, so yeah…you see, that friend of mine loves NaruSaku and hates NaruHina. She also writes but our first language is Spanish so I guess I'm safe…lol.
I read the confession scene but if I recall correctly, I was quite busy with exams back then. I've just watched the anime version and I decided to give it a try. This is somehow based on the flashbacks and the scene when Hinata confesses.
I just can say that I wish Kishi had been more considerate with Hinata because she didn't talk with Naruto. I don't want to give spoilers of the manga so I'll stop my rant about that now. Anyway, I might make this a two-shot, one that focuses on Naruto or maybe, I will wait until he gives her an answer.
So I guess that with this, I've got only Kiba left. (I've already written a one-shot about Shino) By the way, I don't have a defined style of writing. I'm that weird…and yes, this style is kind of weird. I've reread this so many times since yesterday that I no longer know if this makes sense.
Enjoy.
P.S. I used dots because between lines because FFnet is acting weird
Resolve
"I want to grow up to be a great ninja…
strong like father and kind like mother…"
.
You fight, you fight, you fight
but you're tired too soon, you're already exhausted
And your father stops
He stands tall and regal
His face is hard, judging and impassive
He stops and he leaves
.
He leaves
And you're told
consolingly
that he's strict
because he has high hopes for you.
And you nod, but your eyes sting,
they sting with unshed tears.
.
Time passes
And you see him…
A face that you've seen before
A boy of your age, all alone
this time without the defiance
And you wonder why
Why he's there, on that swing, all alone
But you're not strong enough to go and ask
.
Be kind, like mother
And you're already that
Be strong, like father
But you're not strong enough, not bold enough to defy orders
Ah…
Kindness can be a waste when it's not showed
.
"I want to grow up to be a great ninja…
strong like father and kind like mother"
.
"A great ninja…
strong like Father…"
.
More time passes
Your little sister has grown
And…
Your little sister can do what you cannot
Father is disappointed…again
And he leaves…again
.
And you cry, you cry, you cry
In frustration, shame and sadness
.
You run away…
You run away…and you can't even do that right
And you're bullied,
For not being the epitome of the Hyuuga
You feel so weak, so humiliated, so hopeless
And you wonder…
You wonder if you're really apologizing for that ice cream
.
Because you cry, you cry, you cry
You cry too sadly, too bitterly, too inconsolably
.
Maybe, maybe
You're apologizing for not being strong enough
For not being proud enough
For not being good enough
.
.
Time passes
And you can no longer be a spectator
You no longer want to stand aside and watch
This time, it's you who goes to his rescue
.
Just for once
Jump
.
You won't let the enemy hurt him anymore
You will defend him
.
And…
Yes, you're aware of the danger
You know, you know, you know
You know you're no match
.
You hear it from his lips, you're no match
But you want for once to be selfish, selfish, selfish
And he tells you to leave, to go away
And these words are not spoken with derision but out of frustrated concern
.
You stay
you're strong enough to stay
You want to be here with him,
you can't run away, you won't run away
.
Because…
Because you're here to save him
And you tell him so
.
You do not see the shock in his eyes
When you tell him how you used to cry and give up
Before even trying
.
You do not see his face
When you remember how he helped you
To find your way and take the right path
.
He has always been your inspiration
Always.
.
You pour your heart out
.
"I always chased after you, I wanted to catch up to you"
.
After all, this might be your last chance
.
"I wanted to walk beside you all the time. I want to be at your side, always."
.
Your voice has never had so much emotion before.
.
"You changed me, Naruto! Your smile saved me!"
.
Your resolve has never been stronger.
.
"That's why I'm not afraid to die… if it means I can protect you!"
.
It's now or never.
.
"Because…I love you…"
.
And you stand tall.
.
You ignore that
you've never looked more beautiful.
.
You prepare to fight, you adopt a stance.
But instead of attacking, you try to free him
And you're sent away
Harshly, painfully
.
You get up and you try again
But once more, you're sent away
.
He calls your name
You stand up again
You will fight
.
Your hands glow with chakra, your courage poured into them
Your resolve has not diminished
You can't let it end like this
If there's even the slightest chance…
You will fight
.
And you attack and you dance
Dance the dance of death
Dance, dance, dance
.
You connect
And now is your chance
One pole less!
Once more…but…
But you're sent away again
.
And he calls your name again
.
And it hurts and you fall, you fall into darkness
.
But…but you remember…
You remember, you remember, you remember
When he came to your rescue
He was mocked and he was laughed at
But he fought, he fought, he fought
.
And you remember…
You remember his voice and his courage…
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto! I'm gonna be the Hokage one day!"
.
Back then, you weren't strong enough to stay
To stay with him
Once more, he pulls you away from darkness…
.
He's calling your name.
.
Always, always, always
Stand up, no matter what
And never give up
.
You fall but you get up
Walk, walk, walk
.
You fall again
You stand up once more
.
Walk, walk, walk
Walk as memories fill you
Keep going
Just a little farther
You fall again and yet…
You keep going…
Your resolve has never been stronger
.
This time
You reach him
.
You ignore the taunts, you ignore the pain
as the enemy mocks your resistance
.
You're finally there, clinging, trying to free him
And the enemy asks your reason for fighting
As you keep trying
For him, your efforts are in vain
For him, you're already dead
.
You finally answer.
"I stand by what I say."
And he, Naruto, he's looking at you as you raise your face.
He's seeing you.
And you smile at him.
He's always been your sun.
You smile, you smile, you smile.
And you do not know that
your smile has never been warmer.
"Because that's…my Ninja Way"
And you keep smiling at him as you fly away
And you fall, you fall, you fall
Before a scarlet river runs.
