You had to admit that you were not used to the sensations you were currently experiencing, not before nor now.

After all, Terror accompanied by Fear and Rage... those were things not normally experienced by a child.

The very air was thick with malevolence that weighted down on you in a suffocating manner. You could barely draw breath to cry.

To express your displeasure.

And yet, there was the knowledge that you were truly in danger. That your body wasn't meant to endure the raging energies that saturated the air around you.

In time, you might have endured and perhaps more than that, to subsume it. To breath and drink it like air and water. Some might claim that this was a mark of evil...

And against it stood but a single sun, golden as could be and worn down. While beside him stood a crimson moon, a woman.

"I'm sorry, Kushina." That man, your father?, said with a sigh as if he was weary. As if he had fought countless enemies and expanded his strength greatly. You found yourself want to pat him and tell him that you knew what it was like, all you could do is wave your hands helplessly.

There was motion in the darkness above, the hint of crimson against darkness. "It's fine, Minato... we've always known there was this risk."

A hand covered your eyes as something wet moved across your belly.

There was the sensation of energy flowing along the path of what was drawn on your belly. A maze of energy. A vast trap that was shocking in its complexity.

The presence of something [OLD] and so very, very [HUNGRY] was even worse.

Worse were exchanged, which you couldn't, wouldn't hear.

And the world BURNED.

Darkness and heat consumed you as the pattern on your belly inverted and drew in the world, the sun, the moon, the stars and the burning rage...

The golden sun and crimson moon fell, tumbled to the moving ground, as a chilly wind blew.

You cried in rage, in anger... and in sorrow, even as you were picked by the old man who smelled of monkey, smoke, and death.
