Here's another one shot. I used the same format as i did for the Gaara one, but with Sai--thinking about making more.
Thanks for reading, i hope you enjoy
I'd always been able to understand the world. Watching people as they lived with my calculating eyes. Because everything was basically an equation. Everything could be figured out; solved. Feelings, Movements, Actions- all of them were just mere science when looked at closely. So predictable. There was nothing special about them.
That's how it had always appeared. But then I met him.
Naruto. I just couldn't figure him out. I couldn't solve him. He made no sense.
He was born completely alone. Everyone hated him. He was abused for things that weren't his fault. But he didn't react in any of the logical ways. He didn't react in any human ways. He didn't show his pain, run away, ask for pity, or lash back. No. Naruto smiled and laughed. Naruto loved the ones who caused his suffering. He put his life on the line for them.
And Sasuke.
All living things, people, they reflexively draw away from the things that cause them to hurt. With Naruto, the principle was practically reversed; it was somehow the exact opposite in his case. It almost seemed like he was trying to break himself. I'd never seen someone so intent on finding pain. Because that's what Sasuke is to Naruto. A bundle of blood and tears.
Why did Naruto chase him. The traitor. The one who tried to kill him. The one who left him to die in the rain. This confused me most of all.
I had looked through so many people. I had solved so many emotions. I thought I had found the value for the human heart. I thought I had proved our kind to be a meer complex machine. But Naruto just didn't fit any of my calculations.
There had to be something more. There had to be something keeping his will alive. There had to be a reason he was still smiling. And I wanted to know so badly. Not for any outside cause, or big picture.
I just wanted to understand Naruto.
"Naruto, can I talk to you?"
"Uhh….sure. I guess. Shoot."
"The pain, those peo-"
"Sai, If you're just going to bitch about Sas-"
"Calm down. I was just asking a question. Questions are good bases for a healthy conversation."
"Okay, okay. Continue."
There was a pause.
"Naruto, why do you smile?"
The blonde just stared blankly. He blinked a few times. It seemed like he hadn't even heard the question. Then he smiled.
"Because I believe."
"You believe in god?"
"Yes. Kind of."
"What do you mean, 'kind of'?"
Naruto's eyes shifted toward the sky.
"I think god is made of people."
Sai looked up as well.
"So believing in god…..is the same as believing in people?"
Naruto smiled again.
"I don't really get it either. But I believe in people." He took a long breath, "I guess that's confusing….but, I love people."
Sai stared in wonder at the boy before him.
Naruto turned to him now.
"I love Sakura. And Sasuke. They are my gods."
So that was the answer. Naruto believed in people. That was why he saw past the pain they all caused him. That was why he carried on.
But that created another problem to solve.
Why.
And that's where I left the equation alone. Because maybe Naruto was unsolvable. But mainly just because it didn't matter to me anymore. No solution would change the true answer; that Naruto was amazing.
I was threw with all the calculations. Now There was only one thing I wanted:
To become one of Naruto's gods.
Thanks again for reading. Just wanted to point out that I stole the whole 'people-god' thing from an amazing manga called "IMMORTAL RAIN". Seriously you guys should check it out-it's one of my favorites. Getting off topic
So. Yeah. Review?
