Tenebroso

The second part of the Chuunin Exams had officially started. Yamada Astuko, aspiring Chuunin-to-be and member of Team Naruto, was feeling nervous as she carefully navigated the thick underbrush of the Forest of Death. She was trying to reach the rendezvous point where she was supposed to meet her teammates. She finally reached a clearing with a small stream running through it. Atsuko checked the map in her hands once more and confirmed that she had finally reached the rendezvous point. In the distance over the trees, she could see the Tower. Now, she just had to wait for her teammates to show up.

Atsuko nervously put her hand in her pouch to check that the scroll she was carrying was still safe. The papery stiff surface reassured her that it was still safe though it did little to soothe her rising anxiety. Her teammate Tomo Oita was supposed to be the decoy while her other teammate Ueda Mokutou covered him and obtain the Heaven scroll to the Earth scroll that she now carried. Atsuko wasn’t as a good fighter as Mokutou nor was she as sly as Oita but she could run and hide very well.

“I hope that they arrive soon. I also really, really hope that no enemies show up here…” She muttered to herself.

Atsuko jumped when she heard a branch break. She immediately hid in a tree, her heart pounding as she watched out for any enemies. After a few minutes and nothing happened, Atsuko cautiously crawled out of her hiding place, feeling foolish when she saw a squirrel dash in front of her.

“…It was just a squirrel.”

Suddenly she felt an overwhelming chakra presence that was so powerful it suffocated her. And with it, there was such pure concentrated killing intent all directed at her; it felt like it was eviscerating her. Gasping and collapsing to her knees, Atsuko thought she was going to have a heart attack. Barely staying coherent, she grabbed a kunai from her pouch in clammy, numb fingers and turned around in a crouch to face the enemy. She paled at who she saw and stammered, “…W-why a-are you here?!”

His voice was as cold as the Arctic. “You know why.”

Before she could react, her mind suddenly felt like it was being torn apart. Her kunai clattered to the ground as she gripped her head. It was an excruciating agony and she could do nothing to stop it. She blacked out.

“I’m sorry but Yamada Atsuko is no longer fit for active duty. She is too severely damaged by the unknown genjutsu she was placed under. My sincere condolences, sir.” The doctor regretfully said to Naruto. Still reeling with shock from the news, he asked with a desperate hope, “She’ll recover, won’t she?”

“…That, I cannot answer. It’s a miracle that your student is still alive from the trauma she went through. This unknown attack was so stressful on her psyche that it actually caused a stroke. It’s a very slim chance that Atsuko will recover from her catatonia, not to mention her future career as a shinobi. If Tsunade-sama was here, she might be able to give you a better prognosis. But I doubt that even her great skill could save her – our best experts have reported that nothing of her mind remains…” The doctor was calm, contrasting with Naruto’s agitated state.

Naruto clenched his jaw as he looked at the door that led to his student’s ward. He could still vividly see her still and pale form lying on the bed. While he was prepared for the ruthless possibility that his students could be injured or killed in the line of duty, he had never expected such an awful thing to happen to Atsuko who was always very cautious and sensible.

It was cold comfort that his other two students Mokutou and Oita had qualified for the finals. Their haste in bringing the comatose Atsuko to the Tower had been crucial to her survival – it had been touch and go. Naruto wondered who was the attacker behind this senseless violence for the umpteenth time. Coming up blank, he finally said wearily, “Thank you.”

“I wish your student the best of luck in her recovery. Your other students are in the finals, aren’t they? Congratulations.” The doctor said kindly before walking away.

“My condolences and congratulations, Naruto.” Minato said warmly as he welcomed the jounin into his office. Naruto glanced at him questioningly, “Congratulations for what?”

Minato chuckled in amusement, “Your genins passed. They’re officially Chuunin now.”

“Oh. Right. That’s great news…” Naruto replied absently as he sat in a chair across him. He was in deep thought and Minato was curious. He gently asked, “What’s on your mind?”

Naruto jerked slightly, his cheeks turning pink in embarrassment for being so distracted. He glumly replied, “You read the report, didn’t you?”

“Oh yes… That was a rather unfortunate incident. It’s a good thing that she’s still alive though.”

“She’s in a coma. That’s not any better.”

Minato calmly asked, “What did the doctor say?”

“She’s a vegetable now. No one can heal her, not even if Tsunade was here.” Naruto looked distraught at losing Atsuko. She was still so young... But if he felt so sad about Atsuko’s fate, her family must be feeling even worse – Atsuko was an only child who had been born to 2nd generation shinobi late in life. It had been very difficult for Atsuko’s mother, a kunoichi chuunin to conceive and Atsuko was all the more precious for it. Naruto did not look forward to breaking the terrible news to Atsuko’s parents.

Minato was silent as he observed Naruto’s defeated posture, feeling a twinge of guilt for upsetting him even though he knew that Atsuko’s “accident” would upset Naruto. In his opinion, he had been merciful. He could have simply erased Atsuko but his love and respect for Naruto’s fondness for his students stayed his hand. Yes, it was better this way – Minato gently offered, “I’ll speak to Atsuko’s parents myself, Naruto. I’ll also compensate them generously and pay for Atsuko’s hospitalization bills.”

“You’re really kind.” Naruto smiled gratefully, his heart swelling with affection for the man before him. He shook his head and refused, “But no need, I’ll speak to Atsuko’s parents in person. It’s the least I can do for Atsuko as her teacher.”

“If you insist.” Minato left it at that, deciding to change topic. Placing his hand on top of Naruto’s and looking straight into his eyes, he said clearly, “It’s not your fault that she ended up in hospital. Don’t beat yourself about it. You know that it’s a fact of shinobi life that we can get hurt or even killed at any time. Atsuko already knew the consequences when she entered the Chuunin Exams.”

He leaned forward to press his lips to Naruto’s lips for a quick comforting kiss before attempting to pull back. He was pleasantly surprised when Naruto pulled him closer to deepen the kiss, his eyes fluttering close. Minato idly noticed that he could count Naruto’s individual fine eyelashes at this intimate distance before he too closed his own eyes to enjoy the languid kiss. It was a good thing that today was a slow day at work.

It was dim and damp. Naruto was ankle-deep in viscous water that sloshed and slapped against cracked walls with peeling paint. The water felt cold. He barely made out a huge door that he was heading towards. He quickened his steps. Once he was in front of it, he saw that the door was covered with complex seals far beyond his knowledge. Yet at the same time, they felt familiar like he had seen a variation of the seals before, a very long time ago.

Apprehensively, he reached out to touch the door handle and tried to open it. It was locked. Just what was hiding behind this door that was so important that it had to be sealed away? Naruto contemplated breaking down the door by brute force when a familiar voice interrupted him, “You shouldn’t be here.”

Surprised, he whirled around and saw Minato. Before he could ask what he was doing inside his dream, Minato was quickly in front of him and wrapped his hands around his neck. He then forcefully pushed him down to the floor and held him underwater.

Air bubbles chaotically streamed through the thick water as Naruto struggled fiercely to break out of the stranglehold. Much to his dismay, his struggles were futile. He panicked.

Why are you doing this?!

His lungs burned with the need for air and unable to help it, he opened his mouth for precious air and water rushed in. He gagged. The water tasted like blood. As he slowly and painfully drowned, his consciousness fading into the darkness, a beatifically smiling Minato bent down to kiss him, stealing away the last of his precious breath. As he blacked out, his murderer whispered, “Because I love you.”

With a violent start, Naruto awoke with his heart beating fiercely in his chest. In an automatic reflex, he whipped out his kunai from under his pillow and stared wild-eyed into the shadows, his rapid and shallow breaths echoing in his ears. He also accidentally awoke Minato beside him who sleepily asked him in concern, “Are you ok?”

“…I don’t know.” Naruto couldn’t stop trembling, a deep inexplicable fear gripping him tight.

“A nightmare?” Minato sat up, the sleepiness clearing away from his eyes to be replaced by concern. He placed his hand on Naruto’s shoulder in a comforting gesture. Naruto calmed down and leaned heavily against Minato, craving for his touch. Minato easily took the kunai from him and placed it on the bedside table before wrapping his arms around him protectively.

“Maybe. I don’t know. I can’t remember what I dreamed.” Naruto yawned, finally feeling drowsy from the combination of Minato’s warm embrace and exhaustion; his fear ebbing away. Minato brushed his hair away from his cheek and replied, “It’s fortunate that you don’t remember the nightmare then, if it scared you so badly.”

Naruto hummed noncommittally as he drifted off into sleep again, curling up against Minato’s side like a kitten. Minato softly chuckled in amusement as he carded his hand through Naruto’s hair. He fondly dropped a kiss to Naruto’s forehead and whispered into his ear, “Sleep well, Naruto.”

“Why did you suddenly break up with Kushina? You were all set to get married!” Jiraiya incredulously questioned an indifferent Minato in Training Field 7. Minato was leaning against the middle post, his white Hokage coat missing. He raised his eyebrow at his former teacher’s exclaim and replied simply, “We simply didn’t work out. So we split. People break up all the time, so what’s so strange about us breaking up?”

“Precisely. It’s you and Kushina. You were the mushiest pair of lovebirds that I’d ever seen since your chivalrous rescue of Kushina from the Kumo nin when you were genin. Even before that, you were all crazy about Kushina. You were engaged, for crying out loud! What the hell happened between the two of you?”

Jiraiya waved his hand in the air, his confusion visible. He had been abroad for quite a while and had only just returned, not expecting to discover that in his absence, Minato and Kushina had called off the wedding and were no longer dating. The last time he had heard from Minato was his excitement about his getting engaged to Kushina. What the hell happened?!

Minato snorted derisively, “That was just puppy love. We simply discovered that we were not who we thought we were. We weren’t as compatible as we thought. Does that satisfy you?”

Jiraiya cocked his head to the side, his mouth drawing into a scowl. He finally sighed, “If that’s the case… well, it’s certainly a shame. I was so sure that you and Kushina were perfect for each other.”

Minato looked at Jiraiya from the corner of his eye and coolly said, “We weren’t. Is that all you wanted to speak about with me?”

“…Pretty much. I just wanted to make sure that you were okay, what with, your break-up and all. Are you really okay?”

Minato allowed a smile to appear on his face. He replied, “Of course. I’ve never been better. Thanks for your concern.”

His eyes gleaming, Jiraiya jumped to a conclusion, “You found someone else, didn’t you? Who is she?”

“I’m not going to tell you. It’s a secret.” He tightly replied, his voice flat. Minato felt uncomfortable at the thought of having others know about his relationship with Naruto. It was their secret. Besides, it also felt awkward to tell his former lady-loving teacher that he was seeing another man. Who knew how Jiraiya would respond to that?

“Come oooon. Teeell meeee.” Jiraiya wheedled. “I need to know! How else can I get inspiration for my books?”

“No. I’m not telling you.” Minato felt a cold chill go down his spine at the thought of his relationship with Naruto publicly advertised in the most popular book series in the Continent. His enemies could exploit his weakness by attempting to hurt Naruto, which was something he did not want to happen.

“My enemies would try to hurt my lover if they know their identity.”

“I could change the names.”

“No. You’re not getting anything out of me and that’s final. You’re not allowed to write anything about me or my lover in those books of yours, is that clear?”

Before allowing Jiraiya to reply, Minato tersely continued, “Excuse me, I’ve been away long enough from my office.” Then he quickly left the training area with a shunshin.

Jiraiya huffed and crossed his arms petulantly. He complained to himself, “Is it just me or did Minato seem a bit off?”

After a few seconds of consideration, he shrugged and walked off in the direction of the hot springs, eager to conduct his research and hopefully get some inspiration for his next book.

“Must be all the stress from being Hokage… Man, I’m glad that Sarutobi-sensei didn’t pick me for the job.”
