-1Disclaimer: I hereby state in full and totally not false truth, that I do NOT own Naruto.
This short work is the first of many ideas that plague my head.

The Consequence of Knowledge

It was wholly unremarkable…how he died.
The way his eyes, sparkling with new light, faded and turned dusty and gray.
His body so fragile, gone limp and unmoving.
Not even a shudder.
He knew because he was looking down on him and saw the light of his life, not burn out-he would have to have lived to stoke the flames too high-stop.
He knew because his large, calloused and heavy hand held his back and didn't feel movement.
He knew as the fresh and once tested flesh lost it's rosy hue that the body was cold. His large, calloused and heavy and warm hand searing at the difference.
He knew that he was dead and long past even so soon after arrival.
He knew that because he held the blade. Stained Crimson.
The blade that tested-tasted-the babe and knew that it cut with NO resistance. Pain was unknown to this length of life even as it was inflicted.
The blade that belonged to the man that sealed and bound this creature-this infant. Three prongs frowning.
An act to give honor to their leader and a fitting end to this monster-not even yet a child.
It was hollow and mocking because they thought his reasoning from madness on Death's edge.
Dusty and gray, life-not yet lived to be forgotten-void. So was his body. So was his soul.
A moment fell where He could breathe and remove the mindset that swaddled his vision.
He saw-not looked at-the death.
The face was clear.
The truth was clear.
The message screamed as it lost all meaning.
It was not enough time!
Just born and…
Adapting.
Incorporating.
CONTAINING.
The First action assisted and prepared by the Father's seal.
The Second action winding and twisting into completion.
The power was great.
The power was !POWER! and the prowess of the Fourth could only do so much.
It was with a Flash that dusty and gray ignited to blue.
It was with a SCREAM that blue exploded to sunset crimson.
His death was unremarkable.
It's rebirth was met with NO resistance and was a marvel to behold in the night as the Kyuubi roared his life into Konohagakure.
