(Disclaimer) Does it seem like I own Naruto?
Well this is my first fanfiction. I hope it's good.
(Prologue)
'This... This wasn't how it was supposed to end.' He saw nothing, yet his eyes were wide with shock. He never fulfilled his dream. He didn't protect his precious people, his life would be a failure if he died now. But, even as he thought this, it was flushed away by the horrid pain that quickly filled his body.
He looked into the eyes of his would be killer. This person he had trusted, who he thought of as a father. Who had trained him to fight and forced him to grow.
He knew he had to check one last time, just to know it was true. He looked down, there it was, the small blade sticking into his abdomen. Then the scared and calloused hand, leading up to a torn sleeve, the heavy shirt hid any noticeable muscle that he knew was there. His eyes finally found the the face. The face of his soon to be killer.
As there eyes met, a rush of resolve filled him. A new hope, was at least a distraction. He would not die like this. He would not go out without completing his goal.
Naruto would not accept that, this was not how it was supposed to be. He trained so hard, fought for so long. Was his existence so meaningless that he was going to be put to an end so soon? His question went unanswered.
Naruto's eyes then shot above his killers eyes. He couldn't believe it was there. The seal, the seal he had helped create. A seal that allowed complete and utter mental control, was placed on the exposed forehead of his attacker,
He had made this seal to help with interrogations and infiltrations. But the seal was to much, there was no real way to stop after it was placed on someone, if only they had learned that sooner.
It was his fault it was created. If he had said no to helping with its creation, then this might not have happened. Naruto cringed as he remembered everything that had happened.
(flashback, Naruto's POV)
I had been asked by the Godaime Hokage Senju Tsunade to create the seal. Though I had refused at first, after a failed infiltration mission that resulted in the casualty of Umino Iruka I finally consented.
That mission had been a failure because of information that wasn't gathered quick enough from a prisoner.
But when I finally finished the seal and they put it to use. Things didn't turn out as we had hoped. It didn't work how I had planned, it was failure as it took the will of anyone who was placed with it. And then to make matters worse he found out about it.
When the resurrected Uchiha Madara had found out about the Omoi Fuuin (Mind Seal) it was all Konohagakure no Sato could do to keep it safe.
And then it happened. The 4th Great Shinobi War had begun. The seal was left unprotected in a moment of our own weakness and Madara found it's location. Of course he didn't get it unscathed, from what was heard he was severely injured... But in the process we lost two of our best jounin, Maito Gai and Hyuuga Neji.
When Madara found how the seal worked, we knew we were doomed. He used it on his followers, his enemies, till only a few of us were left on both sides.
I was there of course, but I was kept confined and shielded from our enemies. Forced to watch as my friends were slaughtered, not only by our enemies. But by our allies too.
It got to a point where I was finally allowed to fight. All of my friends were either dead or had been placed with the seal. During this time I was working on a reversal to the Omoi Fuuin... I wasn't fast enough.
The first of my friends I was forced to kill was Kiba, Akamaru had died when he knew his master would never return. The second was Rock Lee, who I didn't kill, he opened the 8th gate. It hurt all the same.
I knew I would never forgive myself, so that's why I went to fight Madara.
But that's when I saw the person that was my father in everyway but blood and I knew he must be there to help me. So that's why I rushed over to him. And that's why I never saw his attack coming.
(end flashback)
That brought him back to his current state. A kunai had just pierced his abdomen and he was still stuck thinking about the past and his failures.
He had to make amends, one final objective to maybe turn the tides of this war.
Naruto looked into the eyes of his soon to be killer. "Ero-Sennin, this isn't you, remember that. I can take the seal off, at least I think." Naruto started to choke, a spray of blood flew from his mouth. "Please, please if you can hear me memorize this."
Naruto ran through the hand seals to release the Omoi Fuuin. Naruto hoped Jiraiya would remember this. As Naruto reached the last hand seal, a black coat of chakra spread over his hand, as it spread up his arms it began to glow. "I'll miss you, Jiraiya-Sensei."
As Naruto finished his hand seals he saw that Jiraiya who was still leaning over him, was reaching to plunge another kunai into his person, he reached out quickly and was able to reach and slam his palm into Jiraiya's forehead.
Naruto then saw recognition flash within his God Father's eyes. But it was to late...
Jiraiya watched as the blade in his hand passed through Naruto's chest. The resounding scream from Jiraiya's throat made every Shinobi within hearing distance pause for a second... But only for a second.
Tell me what you think. Should I continue? R&R please!
