The Dark Side Of Naruto Uzumaki.

chapter 55

previously-

joy filled me as i ran as fast as i could away from rei and lyerick. i am doing it. I'm finally going to be free.

___________________________

now-

I'm lost. I finally get out and i get lost. Great. You go Naruto. you go. I pushed the thought to the back o my head. I would do it. Clear did. so i will. I just need to find the road......Since i had brainlessly jump out the door, i had to work to remember which way the road to the village was. Thats going to be my first step. Get to the road. get to the village. get to Konoha. If i can get o Konoha, i can get to Clear. I will be able to see big brother. So that was what i was going to do.......

--gaara--

I gasped aloud as i watched the memory fizzle away and a new one came in its place. I felt Minato shift uncomfortably next to me. I could understand why. These memories, they belong to Naruto, these horrible, and revolting, memories. Belong to his son. To the boy, i love. I remained still. I refused to look away. No mater how bad it was for Naruto, no matter what pain he was in, i did not avert my eyes. Of course, I was angry.
Angry at Rei.
Angry at Lyerick.
Angry, at Clear.
Though Clear is like a brother to Naruto. He left him. Clear left Naruto. Alone. In agony and pain.
My fingers twitched ever so slightly. How dare he. Even if Naruto told him to leave. Even if he was scared.
He dared he abandon my Naruto like that.

"gaara." i heard Minato say softly to me. i turned my eyes and waited for him to continue. "do you love my son?" Minato said this with out looking at me. He stared straight into the memories which played forward. I turned to face them once more. Intent on not missing anything about Naruto.

"yes." i replied softly. A sigh slipped softly from his mouth.

"i see. i thought as much. well then. Gaara. take care of him for me. I will be leaving him in your care, when this," he gestured outwards, at everything which lay before us. "is all over." i nodded, which i knew he had seen. Yes. i will take care of Naruto. Always. And with my life.
I watched as his memories unfolded. He struggled through the village to the other side. Staying hidden from anyone. He face held fear, and courage. Fighting to stay alive. He followed the dirt road in the shadows of the trees, making his way toward the where the sun kissed the earth.

Towards Konoha.
