A Light In The Dark

Untitled Part 9

"It feels like all the chakra I have felt all my life, Bijuu, animal, shinobi, and civilian... it feels like something has mixed all the chakra in the world together!" he ground out and the orange faded from around his eyes and his frog like eyes turned blue once more. He was panting and gripping his head. "What... what was that?" Ino asked shakily as the ground rumbled beneath their feet. "I think that was why Tobirama wanted to make sure no one was wandering about..." Naruto said and Ino gripped his arm tightly. "Are you ok?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah... I had to release sage mode, that chakra was like a high pitched squeal in my ears." He said and the door to his office opened.

"Not surprising. That's what happens when one senses the origin of chakra itself. There are also more things that happen when the origin of chakra is summoned from the depths of the ten tail's tree." A voice that Naruto had only heard once in his life, rang out. They all stared wide eyed at the newcomer. "H-how? I thought you were dead." Sakura stammered and the man looked at his hands. "I thought so too, but as you can see, once more I roam the land of the living. Why I am here, is something I am most curious of." The man said and they all stared at him with wide eyes, as two more males were seen behind him.

"This is impossible!" Naruto exclaimed, tears forming in his eyes as the two males behind the first one smiled softly. "Its good to see you again... Naruto..." the two said and he tried his hardest not to cry. "I see your dream came true." The shorter of the males said and Naruto's lower lip trembled and he forced a grin. "I did it, didn't I?" he asked and the three chuckled. Sasuke was frozen in place as he stared at the three. "Impossible..."

:-:-:-:-:

The first thing he saw was a bright flash of green light then the air filled his lungs and he coughed at the new feeling. He clawed at the coffin over his head, this was not a feeling he liked. He sent his fist through the lid and he dug himself up. When he reached the surface, he managed a sloppy crawl. His legs felt weak. He fisted his hands against the trunk of a tree and he felt the chakra from the tree seep into his through his skin. The tree crumbled beneath his touch and he frowned.

He touched yet another tree and sucked the life out of it as well, he understood that the chakra was part of him and that he needed it, but he didn't like the fact that he was taking the life from the trees to support himself. He could stand up straight now and he felt the chakra flowing through his veins, a feeling so long forgotten to him. He touched the exposed skin of his and a slow smile crossed his lips as he felt a heartbeat and warmth flowing through his veins.

He took tentative steps forwards and nearly bumped into a younger male with darker hair and eyes. "You too, huh?" he asked and the younger man looked at his hands then at him. "I don't see how this is possible..." the younger man said and he shrugged lightly and helped him off the ground. "Neither do I, but if I am going to be given a second chance...I would like to figure out who gave it to me, wouldn't you?" he asked and the younger man nodded.

"Indeed, this is all new to me." the younger man said in a somewhat monotonous voice and he laughed. "You're telling me! not even Tobirama could fully revive a person!" he laughed and the younger male looked at him with confusion in his dark eyes. He laughed nervously and scratched his neck with a sigh. "Let's go see if there is anyone else wandering about the grave yards, ne?" he asked and the younger male stared at his hands. "I wasn't buried in konoha..." he said, but nodded lightly.

"Let's go then kid, we have to see if there are others!" he said with an exuberance in his voice that made the younger male crack the tiniest of smiles. "Alright then..." he said and they began walking at a slightly faster pace, but not such a fast pace that threatened to trip them up in their newfound rebirth. They ran into one more person, and he was on his knees in front of a group of gravestones, tears falling down his pale cheeks from even paler eyes.
