Author's Note: Uzumaki Naruto Tribute. This is a one-shot inspired by Morandi's songs, "Save Me" and "Angels." This is also my first time submitting a story. Reviews are welcome.
It seemed as though every pair of eyes he gazed into said the same thing.
"Save me."
And, due to his nindo, his heart, he could not turn them away.
No matter how much the other struggled against his assistance, their eyes were screaming to be free.
Wholeheartedly, he accepted.
He could not and would not bare another soul's torture. Even if it was self inflicted.
Fighting tooth and nail, he shattered their walls of hatred.
Although the physical pain was necessary, the real power laid in his words. His words fell heavier than his fists, sending their minds reeling.
After he destroyed their walls, he offered his hand, full of promises.
He was there to build them back up. But instead of hate, their walls were strengthened with resolve to atone, protect and love.
No matter what it took he gave them all his strength, love, and hope. All the emotional, physical, and spiritual reserves they would need to go on living.
To him, it was his calling.
His sacrifice.
For he loved them all, yet he knew he was merely the stepping stone they needed to attain a better life.
Despite the occasional pang of loneliness, the swell of joy and pride when he witnessed them happy, was more than enough.
More than enough to make him fight and love the next soul to call out to him.
He was more than willing to save the broken souls of the world.
Even when his crumbled on the edges.
