The Truth
Time froze at that very moment. The sky has been painted with mixing colors of red, yellow, and orange. The wind was soothing, making Naruto relaxed.
"Naruto, I'm here to tell you everything."
Her voice was soft and motherly.
Kyuubi ran towards her and she patted its head. "It's been a long time, Kyuubi."
Naruto was surprised. "Wait, you know him?"
She carried the fox in her arms and said, "Let me start from the beginning.
"The reason why you can't have physical contact with humans and can't be seen by them is that you are not one of them. You are a spirit not ready to go to heaven. And because of that, you have to stay in this place until you are ready. This place is the spot where the human and spiritual worlds connect, so it is possible for spirits to stay here."
Naruto absorbed everything the woman said. But he was still curious. "How did I die? Why did I die? I can't remember anything."
The woman sighed as she stroked Kyuubi's fur.
"When you were still alive, people despised you. You were the most mischievous boy in the village for you don't have parents to look after you. And your parents were believed to be criminals and were banished from the village, but they were only framed. You don't have friends and people don't want their children getting close to you. No one wants to be with you. Until one night, the depression killed you in your sleep."
Naruto felt his heart ache, a pain he recognized. "I always wanted a friend. That is why… I refuse to go to heaven."
The woman was still stroking Kyuubi's fur. "I gave you Kyuubi to keep you company until you find someone that has a strong bond between both of you."
Sasuke…
"I have to warn you about the wishes. Once the third wish has been granted, Kyuubi will be sealed inside the person who was bestowed with the wishes."
She put Kyuubi down and smiled at the child. "I have done what Kami had instructed me to do. I must return to him. Goodbye…"
And as she said that, the wind picked up again. It was night again.
Please review. :D
