Chapter 1: Grief of loss. Meeting a future friend.
Opening 1: Unravel by TK
Amano was making his way to a district he was familiar with. There, he noticed someone.
'The Uchiha district... It used to be so lively, but now it's an abandoned section of the village...' Amano thought.
An odor was permeating around the district. This made him feel uncomfortable enough to hold his nose closed.
'I can smell the scent of blood here... The massacre killed everyone...' He somberly thought.
A sound of a door opening was heard. Amano noticed Sasuke was exiting his home. Both Uchihas gave a stare before talking.
"Sasuke... Everything okay?" Amano asked.
"No..." Sasuke replied.
Amano kept his mouth closed, sensing the turmoil within his fellow Uchiha. He didn't want to reveal the truth of the massacre.
"Amano... I need your help to train me so I have the strength needed to avenge my family and our clan." Sasuke demanded.
This made Amano think for a moment. He could clearly see that Sasuke was consumed with hatred. Much to his ire, he sounded prideful.
"I will help train you with what I knew back in my timeline during the First Shinobi War. But, I have a condition that I must address." Amano said..
"What condition?" Sasuke questioned.
"Let go of your hatred. If you continue to be consumed by it, you'll only end up being used by it." Amano said, surprising Sasuke.
"I may not know the cause of Uchiha massacre. If anything, I still have questions as to why. Whoever did so obviously instilled hate on you. This is not the way." Amano lied on the first part.
Sasuke's fists trembled, now having a dilemma to face. He could simply grow strong with Amano's training, but he would have to let his hate dissipate. Hearing his demand made him realize that he may have seen it a few times.
"Alright... I accept..." Sasuke reluctantly answered.
Amano nodded in response. Hearing the reluctance from Sasuke made him on guard, but he relented nonetheless.
"I need you to show me where you train at. I do not know which training ground you and your team use, considering over 50 years have past." Amano said.
"Being stuck for even a year can change things drastically. I don't want to imagine being stuck for a half-century..." Sasuke commented.
"Touché." Amano remarked.
######
Amano and Sasuke arrived at a large clearing. There was a river nearby, providing fresh water. There were three stumps in a straight line nearby.
"This is training ground 3. My team used this place to help hone our skills." Sasuke explained.
"I see." Amano replied, looking around the scenery.
Sasuke looked at the displaced Uchiha who showed an expression of nostalgia. Amano was lost in his memories of the past. However, he shook his head to rid himself of the past.
"Sorry. This place has been one area of Konoha that I've been to." He said.
"It's not a problem. What will you be teaching me?" Sasuke asked.
"First off, I need to have a read of your elemental chakra." Amano said, providing a slip of paper to Sasuke.
"How will that work?" Sasuke asked.
"Like this..." Amano said, holding another slip.
Sasuke watched as the paper Amano held suddenly split in two before one side was drenched in water, while the other was burned in fire.
"I see now..." Sasuke deduced.
"This is a type of paper created from the Shodaime Hokage, who bathed trees with chakra. They respond to signatures from any of the five elements. I'm sure I don't need to explain everything." Amano described.
"You don't need to. I just have to channel my chakra to find out." Sasuke said.
Sasuke focused on the slip before something happened. The paper crinkled before burning. Amano was surprised on the revelation.
"That's a surprise. You have a natural Raiton and Katon prowess." Amano said.
"I can use Raiton jutsus?" Sasuke said with surprise.
"Yes. Uniquely, there are few shinobi naturally born with such a gift. If anything, I would say that you're one lucky person to use two elements naturally." Amano said.
"I could say the same for you, since you have three." Sasuke refuted.
"Well, I had parents who specialized in different elements. I'm not exactly a full-blooded Uchiha, but we'll worry about the fundamentals later on.." Amano hinted.
'An Uchiha that is a half-blood? That may explain why he has three elemental specialties at his disposal.' Sasuke thought.
"Anyway, let's start with a simple C-rank Katon jutsu. Have you mastered the Fireball jutsu?" Amano asked.
"I have." Sasuke said.
"Show me." Amano said.
Sasuke began performing hand signs before inhaling a decent amount of air.
"Katon: Gōkaykū no jutsu!"
A large fireball was created from Sasuke's mouth. Amano was impressed to see it.
"Impressive. You may be a genin, but that jutsu is no easy feat. Now that I have witnessed it, it's time to show you a B-Rank Katon jutsu that I was able to create." Amano said.
Sasuke watched, waiting as he saw Amano's hands forming signs. By then, chakra was pulsing in blue wisps around his body. Soon, flames began to appear around him, creating an ethereal armor.
'Tatsu, Tori, Ushi, Tora, Uma, Tora.' Amano recited in thought.
"Katon: Honō no Yoroi!"
The flames condensed into an armor-like appearance. Sasuke watched in fascination as the flames collected around him. He then saw two wing-like protrusions from the shoulders.
"This jutsus augments not only one's defense, but can strengthen your attacks. Watch." Amano said.
He then punched a nearby tree, shattering it completely.
"You need to have excellent control and a decent amount of chakra for this jutsu. Let me provide you some ration pills." Amano said.
The ration pills were brown colored and look no smaller than a marvel sized pebble. Sasuke took a bite of one and had a brief, disdainful expression on his face.
"They taste awful since they use fresh ingredients to restore one's chakra rapidly. However, don't use them consecutively. You can use at least one per day, but it should give you enough chakra to practice the jutsus I've taught you." Amano said.
"Still... How were you able to create a jutsu like that, even though you were a genin?" Sasuke asked, wiping his mouth.
"Believe it or not, it's all about how you manipulate the chakra in your body. The trick is to envision the armor as flames and letting it be a part of you. At most, new practitioners ended up having first degree burns from the armor, but they don't hurt." Amano laughed.
Sasuke could only nod numbly.
"In any case, I need to continue exploring the village. I still need to sort my thoughts off." Amano said.
Sasuke understood what he meant and began practicing the new jutsu.
######
Amano was walking through the main street of Konoha. He was lost in thought and didn't paid attention to his surroundings. Soon, he ended up bumping into a girl while walking. This caused them to recoil before they fell on the ground.
"Ouch... Sorry about that... I was lost in my thoughts." Amano apologized.
"Ow... Hey, watch where...you're...going?" The girl said.
She then stood up from the ground, looking at Amano. The girl had fair skin with turquoise eyes. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, reaching her waist. She was wearing a purple high collar blouse with a matching apron skirt. There were bandages wrapped on her abdomen and legs. She also had small, loop-earrings. There was a headband with the Konoha symbol, resembling a leaf shape with a spiral. It was worn like a belt. The girl looked at Amano with a long stare.
"Um... Is there something on my face?" Amano asked, showing a shy tone..
Soon, the girl beamed at him.
"Oh kami, you're so cute!" She said.
Amano could only look in confusion before the girl clomped on to him. Much to his embarrassment, the girl refused to let go.
"H-hey! I haven't introduce myself to you since I first seen you." Amano said.
This made her let him go in response. Both felt awkward of the sudden meeting.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Yamanaka Ino. What's your name?" The girl named Ino asked.
"I'm Amano Uchiha." Amano said.
Ino gasped upon hearing his surname. This made her think of Sasuke for a moment before looking at Amano. She internally squealed as she looked at his features.
'Wow, another Uchiha and a hottie at that... He is completely different, like a total 180 of Sasuke's personality.' Ino thought.
Amano moved a step back from Ino as she had an expression of a cougar.
'I think I should let her sort her thoughts out before things get more awkward...' He comically thought.
He weaved a hand sign and suddenly disappeared in a puff of smoke. Ino snapped from her mind and looked around for Amano.
"Amano-kun! Where are you?" Ino called out.
She looked everywhere but was unable to find him. This didn't wipe the smirk off her face.
"Wait till everyone hears this..." Ino said.
######
Amano was breathing heavily from escaping Ino's presence.
'I understand that she's a kunouchi of Konoha... However, I find it scary if any girl acts that way...' Amano shivered mentally.
His comical thoughts were set aside when he noticed the area he arrived in. It made a grim expression on his face.
"Konoha's Cemetary... I ended up coming here of all places..." He said..
Amano walked in the cemetery. He then noticed a familiar name on a grave. This made him move to it.
"Haru... I'm sorry I haven't been there for you..." He said, holding his emotions.
He wiped the leaves and dust off from the gravestone. He noticed a patch of dried flowers at a vase.
"I'll be back in a moment..." He said, mournfully.
######
Amano arrived back at the main street of Konoha. He was looking for a flower shop.
'There has to be a flower shop here in the village... But where is it?' He thought.
He then noticed a couple of people walking by.
"Excuse me, but can you help direct me to where is the nearest flower shop?" He asked.
"Oh, there's a nearby flower shop called Yamanaka Flowers. Just go straight ahead." One of the villagers replied.
"Thank you." Amano said, bowing in respect.
He made his way to the flower shop, but quickly dreaded upon getting close.
'I hope that girl doesn't squeal when I arrive...' He thought.
######
Upon arriving at the shop, Amano was lost in nostalgia of the place.
'It hasn't changed over the years... The Yamanaka Clan were experts in cultivating flowers.' Amano thought with a bittersweet smile.
A man was running the shop. He had long ash blond hair reaching into his back, which he wore spiky on top and ending in a long ponytail, blue-green eyes and strong facial features, which included a well defined jaw line. His outfit was was seen wearing the standard flak jacket over a black outfit, complete with hand-guards, forehead protector and a sleeveless red haori.
"Oh, how can I help you sir?" The man asked.
"I would like to buy a bouquet of white roses and bleeding hearts." Amano said.
The man looked at the Uchiha for a moment. He mentally noticed the young boy holding his sadness.
"Alright, I'll have them prepared." The man said.
The door from the shop opened and Ino came in.
"Otou-san, I'm back from... Ah, Amano-kun!" Ino said.
Amano suddenly dodged when Ino attempted to tackle him. Comically, his face got pale.
'Me and my jinxing... I really need to learn to keep my presence hidden...' He thought.
"Ino... He's a customer right now. Don't suddenly appear like that." The man scolded to Ino.
The man then turned to Amano.
"Forgive me of my daughter. She recently became genin about a month ago." The man said.
"It's okay. I'm also a genin." Amano reassured.
"Really now? That's quite a surprise. I also know of your clan symbol." The man said.
"I may be an Uchiha, but I'm not full-blooded one. In fact, I'm half-Uchiha and half something else." Amano said, scratching his head nervously.
"Oh, that does sound unique. I know your clan name, but what is your given name?" The man asked.
"It's Amano." Amano said.
"Quite a befitting name. I'm Yamanaka Inoichi." The man named Inoichi said.
"Pleasure to meet you, Inoichi-san." Amano bowed.
Ino then noticed a bouquet was being prepared.
"Oh? You're preparing a bouquet. Who're you going to give it to?" Ino asked.
"Someone from a long time ago..." Amano cryptically answered.
The bouquet was prepared. Ino noticed Amano's expression looking somber.
"The price is 1400 Ryō." Inoichi said.
Amano provided the money to Inoichi and held the bouquet. Ino, feeling curious, decided to follow him.
######
Amano walked his way to the Konoha Cemetery. While following him, Ino gasped softly upon seeing where he is.
'The Konoha Cemetery? Maybe that's what he meant...' She thought somberly.
She noticed the plants he was setting at a particular grave.
'Haru... I don't recall anyone with that name... Maybe it's someone he was close with.' Ino thought.
Soon, Amano went to his knees after setting the flowers.
"Haru... I never got to spend any time with you... I was frozen for over 50 years but I believe that your children and grandchildren are living today. Although we were young, I enjoyed our times when we worked as a team." Amano said, holding his grief.
Ino was moved by his monologue to the gravestone. She tried to suppress her voice, but couldn't help but make quiet hiccups as tears began to fall..
"I don't know how your life was or how you lived, but I'm in a different time now. My feelings for you will not change since you hold a special place in my heart. I just wish that I was at least able to see you living right now..." Amano mourned.
Tears were threatening to spill from Amano's eyes. His breathing started to become haggard.
"I just feel lost now... All I once knew is gone, forever lost in time... I don't know whether I can be prepared for this... Haru, I just wish you could provide some guidance..." Amano spoke tearfully.
Ino heard everything and held both of her hands on her mouth, holding her sadness. It was a somber sight to see a man breakdown in tears, mourning for someone. In the case of a lover, it can prove too much.
'How sad... I may not him, but he had someone he loved years ago... I don't want to imagine losing someone so close, even being imprisoned for a long time...' Ino thought with tears.
Amano held his voice at bay, but it was proving fruitless.
"I PROMISED THAT I WOULD CONTINUE TO PROTECT KONOHA! FOR YOU AND FOR MY FRIENDS!" Amano bellowed in sadness.
The pure emotion felt from him encompassed the air around the cemetery.. Ino couldn't take it as she came to him. Amano noticed her and looked at the kunoichi with a tear-stained face.
"Ino..." He said in sadness.
The kunoichi quickly went to him and hugged Amano.
"I'm so sorry... I don't know much about you, but I understand why you came here..." She said.
Amano said nothing. He felt psychologically numb, now realizing his era has past.
"Thank you for the support, Ino... I just needed to come here after I saw that grave with a name I'm familiar with." He said.
"Was it someone close to you?" She asked.
"Yeah... She was my girlfriend. We knew each other as kids till we ended up being in the same team." Amano answered.
"That sounds like a romantic novel." Ino admitted.
"Alas, the First Shinobi War came and I was immediately sent into battle. A shinobi from Kirigakure used a Hyoton jutsu that left me imprisoned in ice for a long time." Amano followed.
Ino could feel his longing. He didn't want to be alone, but he was now forced to realize this.
"I know a handful of people that may be still alive, but I'm not sure if I can confirm it. My timeline was a period of war." Amano said.
"It's okay, Amano-kun. We can try to find someone who has lived in the past." Ino said.
"So far, the Sandaime is the only one I know so far. I may not know him personally, but he seems humble to help." Amano said.
"Maybe I can help you." Hiruzen's voice called out.
"Sandaime-dono!" Amano said.
"I already know that you came here to mourn for your comrades of the past. I truly regret not helping them during their time." Hiruzen said.
"I regret not being able to break free from my ice prison. I was left like that without anyone knowing." Amano replied.
"We all have things we regret, Amano. I have a local residency you can live in for yourself. It's getting dark." Hiruzen said.
"I appreciate it, Sandaime-dono. Maybe it can help me move on from my time and focus on the present." Amano said with a sad smile.
Hiruzen understood the Uchiha's grief. He didn't want to pry any further.
"Run along, you two. It may have been emotionally exhausting for you today." Hiruzen said calmly.
Ino and Amano left the cemetery. Hiruzen noticed the plants provided to Haru's grave.
"I see... Amano, you may be able to handle this revelation." He said with a melancholy smile.
######
Amano and Ino were at the main street in Konoha. Their eyes were puffy and red from their crying.
"I'm sorry that it was a somber day for you, Ino. I just had to get that out of my chest so I can at least move on." Amano said.
"It's fine. Everyone may have someone we lost, but we can try to move forward." Ino said.
"Thanks, I appreciate it." Amano said.
"Maybe when I have the chance, I can introduce you to everyone I know." Ino said.
"That sounds pleasant. Perhaps some time later tomorrow or the next day?" Amano suggested.
"Sure. That would be a good time." Ino said.
Soon, they went their separate ways. Ino looked back to Amano, holding her hands close to her chest.
'Amano-kun...' Ino thought.
######
Amano walked to where he will be living. It was an apartment building located at the Red Light District.
'So this is where I'll be living. Wish it was away from a district such as this though...' Amano thought.
He then walked up the staircase to reach his room. Before entering, he encountered Naruto.
"Hm? Hey you're that guy that was in that ice prison, ttebayo." Naruto said.
Amano looked at Naruto for a moment. He couldn't recall anything.
"Sorry. I guess I should have introduce myself. I'm Uzumaki Naruto, ttebayo." Naruto introduced.
"I'm Uchiha Amano." Amano said.
"Oh, you're one of the Uchiha. I was just about to go do some training.. Can you help train me, Amano?" Naruto asked, getting into Amano's personal space.
"Easy there, Naruto. I need to settle at my apartment first. It should take me a few minutes, but I'll come and train with you as promised." Amano said.
"Okay, but hurry though. I need to get strong." Naruto said impatiently.
Amano chuckled in response. He liked his neighbor's enthusiasm.
"Don't wander off." He said.
Amano soon went in his new apartment. He had a decent look at it. It consisted of a bedroom, kitchen, a bathroom, and a guest room.
'So this is where I'll be living... I will miss living in the Uchiha district.' He thought.
Soon, he left his apartment to join with Naruto.
"Alright, Naruto. Let's head to your training ground so we can begin." Amano said.
"Yatta! I can't wait!" Naruto commented cheerfully.
######
On their way to the training ground, Amano noticed the villagers casting cold looks. He didn't know why till he traced their sight to Naruto.
'They hold such resentment to him... Why would they do this to a kid my age?' He questioned mentally.
He then heard them gossiping.
"Look, one of the Uchiha is associating with him." A female villager whispered.
"Why is he with that bastard...? The demon might be influencing him." A male whispered back.
Amano's ears didn't miss that. He turned to the villagers gossiping. They all stopped as they noticed his eyes now turned blood red.
"As you all were...!" Amano said, scaring the villagers.
Naruto knew the villagers were gossiping, but he was honestly surprised that Amano forced their glares away.
"It's okay, Amano. I can handle the glares they gave to me." Naruto said with a solemn tone.
The Uchiha sighed in response.
"No student or friend of mine is going to receive such backlash. I cannot stand it if they have such prejudice on you." Amano commented.
"It's okay though. You don't have to do it for my sake." Naruto said.
"I did on my own free will, Naruto. Don't feel sheepish about it." Amano reassured.
Unknown to them, Kakashi was observing Amano's interaction with Naruto.. He gave a hidden smile in response when the Uchiha defended Naruto.
'Those two will be good friends in the future. Maybe Amano might be the last light of hope for the Uchiha.' Kakashi thought.
######
Amano and Naruto arrived in Training Field 7. The blonde boy was hyper in learning new techniques and jutsus.
"Okay Naruto. The first thing we need to do is assess your chakra nature." Amano announced.
"My Catchra nature?" Naruto asked, mispronouncing the word.
"No, it's 'Chakra'. We need to know which nature suits you best in combat." Amano chuckled.
Naruto looked sheepish, but laughed from his speech mistake. Soon he was presented with a slip of paper.
"Channel your chakra through this paper. We'll know what happens." Amano said.
Naruto, trusting Amano, began to run his chakra through the paper. Soon, a sound of ripping was heard. Naruto looked at the paper that was now split clean in two.
"So, you're a natural Futon user. A useful element to have, considering how versatile it is." Amano said with surprise.
"What do you mean, Amano?" Naruto asked.
"Wind jutsu users have an advantage for both short and long range combat. No doubt you'll be able to have an excellent field advantage. I'll teach you a simple C-rank, but once you get it done, then I'll show you a B-rank jutsu." Amano said.
"Wow... Wait, you can also use Futon jutsus as well?" Naruto asked.
"It's rather complicated... I can use Katon, Suiton, and Futon jutsus. It isn't unusual for a person to be born with two or more chakra natures, but it is rare. Wind users in Konoha are rare, almost like finding a needle in a haystack." Amano explained.
Naruto laughed at the last part of the explanation. He took a liking to Amano due to his light hearted nature.
'He's like the complete opposite of Sasuke. If anything, I don't mind him replacing the teme.' Naruto thought.
Amano soon held several tree leaves on his palm. Naruto was confused as to why he was providing them.
"Those leaves will serve as your training regimen to understand how to use wind chakra. It's simple to explain, but hard to actually perform. All you need to do is channel chakra on it to make the leaf split in two, just like how you did to the chakra paper." Amano ordered.
"Is it difficult?" Naruto asked.
"It took a normal shinobi years to perfect elemental training. It doesn't help that those people were Chūnin." Amano said.
Naruto had to gasp in response. This was a difficult training regimen.
"But how? Not even my Shadow Clones might help..." Naruto blurted out.
"Wait, you can do the Shadow Clone jutsu?" Amano asked, surprised.
"Yes. I can do it without any problems." Naruto said.
"There's a unique feature of this jutsu. Let me give an example." Amano said.
Amano performed a hand sign, resembling a cross.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
A complete copy of Amano formed near his left side. Naruto repeated and soon formed at his right.
"Alright, now we let the clones go away from our sight or range of hearing. We'll know what they're about to do soon." Amano said.
By then, Naruto recalled what the clone did. He was surprised on what he felt.
"My clone was asking your clone on why you're helping me." Naruto said..
"And what did my clone said to you?" Amano asked.
"Your clone said it was a nostalgic action from his time." Naruto answered.
"That's exactly what the clone said. The jutsu was originally invented for spying and information gathering. It also works as a useful training tool." Amano explained.
"What do you mean, Amano?" Naruto asked, confused.
"Follow along in this explanation. If you make your clone train alongside you while you're doing the same, you'll be able to learn twice as fast than a normal person. If you have more than one clone, the experience multiplies based on how many are present. Meaning, 5 clones equals to 5 times more experience than usual." Amano said.
"Wow... I can learn almost anything like that..." Naruto spoke, aghast..
"Now that you know, make a group of clones to help with your training. This will prepare you for using nature chakra." Amano said.
Naruto nodded and created twenty clones. Each of them took a leaf from either Amano or from the local trees nearby. They all began to channel chakra on their respective leaf.
'This will help him become strong. If anything, it may help him in the long run.' Amano thought.
Minutes have passed. Soon, one of the Naruto clones heard a sound of ripping. The clone opened to notice the leaf was starting to split.
"Yatta! I did it!" The clone said before poofing in smoke.
Naruto then recalled the memories of the clone and realized what he needed to do.
"It's all or nothing!" He said out loud.
Amano liked how he was being serious. If anything, it made him nostalgic during his former days.
'He reminds me of how I was during my days when I was 6 years old.' He thought, laughing.
Naruto began running his chakra through the leaf in the same way his clone that was able to split the leaf it held. He then noticed the leaf was starting to split more. The progress was evident.
"I did it, ttebayo!" Naruto said.
Soon the clones all poorer away. Naruto, having used his chakra for the practice, collapsed in exhaustion. Amano quickly caught him in response.
"Take it easy there, Naruto. I'll provide you with this." Amano said.
He then placed a ration pill in Naruto's mouth. The blonde boy suddenly felt awake, but had a bitter taste on his tongue.
"Ugh... What was that in my mouth? It tasted awful..." Naruto complained.
"Ration pills. They help restore chakra and keep you moving for a few days. I know... They taste awful at times." Amano said, comically showing a disgusted face.
Naruto laughed from the display. He felt energized and continued his training. He created more clones and began collecting leaves to split with wind chakra.
'He's progressing rather quickly. If anything, he will be able to perform the jutsu. Quite an aspect from a member of the Uzumaki clan.' Amano thought, smiling.
"I did it, Amano! I got the leaves to split!" Naruto said.
"Now that you have the basics of using wind chakra, now it's time to use it in battle. Watch carefully." Amano said.
He began performing hand signs in a specific pattern.
'Saru, Tori, Inu, Uma, U, Ushi, Tori...' Amano recited.
Soon, wind chakra began to collect on his palms, forming a glass like sheen.
"Fūton: Reppūshō!"
Naruto felt a powerful gust of wind being created the moment Amano clapped his hands. The wind was strong enough to level a few trees.
"Whoa... That's some wind..." Naruto said, aghast.
Amano had to chuckle from the comment. He liked the reaction from Naruto.
"That is the jutsu I have taught you. Remember those hand signs so you can perform it. With your wind affinity, it won't be a problem." Amano said..
Naruto smiled in response, now having a new technique to learn.
"Train this jutsu so you can be strong to fight your foes. The technique I've taught you can be used against opponents. Also, it is useful for more than just targeting your foes. I'll let you think of it." Amano said.
Naruto noticed Amano was leaving the training ground.
"Where are you going, Amano?" Naruto asked.
"I used up most of my chakra for today. I don't have any ration pills left on me..." Amano said, showing signs of exhaustion.
"You didn't look exhausted earlier..." Naruto pointed out.
"I was suppressing my fatigue since you wanted to train. I'll have to rest for the day." Amano said.
Naruto understood, though he was touched by his kindness.
'Thanks, Amano...' Naruto thought.
Ending 1: amazarashi - Kiswtsu wa Tsugitsu Shindeiku
'kisetsu wa tsugitsugi shindeiku zetsumei no koe ga kaze ni naru'
-The scenery of Konoha changes from Winter to Spring to Summer and to Fall. Amano was watching the sight with his back facing the readers.
'iromeku machi no yoenai otoko tsuki wo miageru no wa koko ja busui'
-Day suddenly becomes night. It was a clear night sky, allowing the moon to shine. However, Amano kept his gaze at Konoha on top of a mountain. He was lost in his thoughts.
'boku ga boku to yobu ni wa futashika na hantoumei na kage ga ikiteru fuu da'
-Amano held his head with both of his hands, feeling the pain of loneliness. His eyes bled from their aquamarine blue color to blood red as he looks at the readers with a solemn expression.
'ame ni utaeba kumo wa wareruka nigiyaka na natsu no hikarabita inochi da'
-The day was cloudy with dark rain clouds overcasting the sky. Amano was looking at the sky as rain began to pour on his body. He looked miserable, due to his lost expression.
'haikei imawashiki kako ni tsugu zetsuen no shi'
-Within the rain, Amano had a bitter smile. The irises on his eyes were still red as they kept spinning like a pinwheel.-
'kunou ni mamirete nageki kanashimi sore de mo todaenu uta ni hi wa sasazu to mo'
-Amano went to the Konoha Cemetery and was looking at the gravestones. The sky was cloudy in the village. He kept a neutral gaze, but his hands were shaking. He collapsed to his knees to stop the shaking.
'kisetsu wa tsugitsugi ikikaeru'
-Amano walks to the foreground, towards the viewers. His red eyes suddenly showed signs of bleeding as he got closer.-
To Neema: My OC will show it in time. He doesn't realize it yet.
