Contemplations In the Night Disclaimer: Naruto is not mine. Summary: ANBU! Naruto is reflecting on why he joined the shadows. An emotionally stunted Naruto is assassinating a target.
Naruto's P.O.V
It was night. It was the perfect time for an assassination.
I really wonder why I became an ANBU, much less a captain…
Better pay… New Identity… Control… Not hated for something I had no control over…
Right… and also the fact that Danzo became Hokage and he cornered me into this…
Something I had no control over…
I kept running in the shadows.
There it was. My destination.
It was a pristine mansion. It made me wonder why this man had a hand in the black market.
This man, my target, was named Saruko Hikaru.
I crept closer to the mansion.
Closer. Closer. Closer.
I got in through the vents.
That's it. A get in and get out assassination…
I trekked through the halls and walked in the room where the target lay asleep.
I took out a seal from my kunai pouch and put it on the man's chest.
"Activate."
My vision was lessened because of my mask, but I could still see his body as his face was positioned with his mouth open in a silent scream.
"Gomen, and I hope you never forgive me," I whispered in his ear.
I put another seal on his neck.
"Activate."
I unsheathed my ninjato and cut his head off.
I sealed his head in a scroll and put strapped it to my back.
I hated needless killing, but it had to be done.
It was my mission; I was not to question orders.
I opened the window and jumped onto the window sill.
"Sayonara, and I hope to see you as a friend in the next life."
I jumped off and landed on the ground.
I walked away in the shadows.
I ran back to headquarters to get another mission.
'It was my duty. I am a weapon. I was not to question orders.'
Here's another fic. It's somewhat a prequel… This is Naruto in ANBU before he traveled back in time to have a new identity as the Yondaime's brother, Namikaze Kitsu. Hope you all liked it. To anyone who reads this fic: Check out my poll for 'The Former Team 7'. Vote! No one is voting!
