This scene in particular bothered me. I hated it and I didn't like the way Kishimoto phrased it but hey... the dude made millions so who am I to judge?
"UGG!"
Sasuke practically threw him at the table,
"Really you shouldn't work so hard and wear yourself out… you too father"
Tazuna smiled as he dug into his food.
After some more heavy artillery training both Sasuke and Naruto returned at dinner time. Naruto dead tired for chakra exhaustion and Sasuke having been the smart one just a bit achy. But as Inari watched the blonde he grew angry.
This guy who said he was some kind of hero. This guy who was trying so hard. This guy… who would end the same as…
Tears began to fill his eyes and he could barely contain the sniffles. Naruto of course noticed as he looked at the boy,
"Oi dude, what-"
"WHY DO YOU GUYS BOTHER TO TRY SO HARD?! NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRAIN, YOU'RE STILL NO MATCH FOR GATOU'S MEN!"
The room was silent,
"NO MATTER WHAT GLORIOUS CLAIMS YOU MAKE OR HOW HARD YOU WORK, WHEN FACING THE STRONG, THE WEAK WILL ONLY END UP GETTING KILLED!"
Everyone at the table was shocked to say in the least but Naruto just scoffed,
"Whatever kid, i'm not like you"
"I'D HATE TO BE YOU!"
Kakashi felt his hand twitch but took a deep breath
"YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS COUNTRY, YET YOU'RE BEING SO NOSY!"
Tears continued to fall as Inari continued to scream,
"WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ME!? I'M DIFFERENT FROM YOU. WHOSE ALWAYS CLOWNING AND ACTING SO CHEERFUL, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HARD LIFE CAN BE!"
The air in the room seemed to chill as one blue eye fell coldly on Inari,
"So that's it…"
Sasuke wasn't sure if he should stop him or not but he was curious,
"You're the only one with pain and suffering…."
Naruto jumped to his feet and smiled cynically as he waved his arms,
"WELL CONGRATU-F**ING- LATIONS! YOU'VE WON! YOUR TRAGEDY SURPASSES EVERYONE ELSE'S ON THIS DAMN PLANET!"
"NARUTO!"
Sakura yelled unsure where this burst came from, weren't they just enjoying dinner?
Naruto slammed his hands on the table making everyone jump,
"Why don't you just sit there and keep crying you little sissy."
Naruto backed away from the table.
"If i want to train i'll do it! If I want to protect the people i care about i'll do it! And if i die tryin SCREW IT! SOMEONE LIKE YOU WHO WILL SIT THERE AND ALLOW SOMEONE TO JUST TAKE THE THINGS IMPORTANT TO YOU…. JUST STAY OUT MY WAY!"
"NARUTO! YOU'VE SAID ENOUGH!"
Sakura yelled but Naruto just huffed and walked off leaving the room in silence. Inari couldn't even cry anymore.
"Ow!"
Naruto whimpered as his back scratched the tree harshly,
"Really Naruto even after all this training you still haven't gained an ounce of control…"
Kakashi said, but it wasn't scolding more like mocking and Naruto could almost see the man smirking under the mask as he had him pinned forcibly to the tree,
"That kid… saying there are no heroes…"
Naruto and his dad may not have the best relationship but saying there was no heroes denounced everything his father had done.
And he hated it….
"I know"
Kakashi said as he pressed against the smaller boy possibly enjoying the wince of pain that flitted across his face a bit too much.
"Still Naruto, if someone does something to hurt you.. You can at the very least run to me.."
Naruto scoffed pulling away so the man would stop nuzzling his nose.
"I can take care of myself, what would you do anyway?"
Kakashi smirked loving the way those blue eyes glowed in the moonlight. Mask still on he pressed his lips to small pink ones loving the way he could always make the young boy moan,
Because it didn't matter would the person was, an A-ranked assassin or a civilian child.. Anyone who hurt Naruto deserved nothing less than…
Death.
So Kakashi and Naruto's relationship is still a bit ambiguous but I will do my best to clear things up as it goes I just realized I'm more invested in the plot than the romance so I'm trying to find that happy medium.
