Chapter 42: Naruto’s clouded dreams.
Naruto lay awake, turning and tossing in the bed. It didn’t happen often that the young shinobi couldn’t sleep… almost never really. But this night, he felt more awake and more anxious than he had ever felt before.
Tomorrow, it would be time. His dream would finally come true. He would attend an official ceremony to become Konoha’s Nanadaime. After 3 years of almost non-stop following lessons with Kakashi, Tsunade and Shizune, they had finally deemed him ‘knowledgeable’ enough to take over Kakashi’s position. At first he had felt immense happiness, then he became a little stressed, and after seeing Kakashi’s relief with being done with the Hokage position, he had felt anxiousness. Which was now steadily keeping him awake. He cursed at his boyfriend, who for once had no trouble sleeping whatsoever.
“What if the villagers don’t accept me as their new Hokage?” He thought within himself. “What if they still shun me for having Kurama?” “What if I mess up and the village gets destroyed again!?” Naruto grasped his head as thoughts and worries kept flooding his mind.
“Kit, could you give it a rest already? I’m trying to sleep here.” Kurama’s annoyed voice rolled through his subconscious.
“I can’t help it Kurama! You know I can’t!” Naruto spoke nervously into his own mind.
“Ridiculous.” The fox growled annoyed.
“No it isn’t Kurama. I know becoming Hokage was my dream. But I’ll be the youngest Hokage ever. What if I mess up?”
“If you mess up you jeopardize the village.” Kurama answered calmly.
“Damn it Kurama! That’s exactly what I’m afraid off!” Naruto shouted angry.
The Nine-Tails let out a deep sigh. “Since when do you worry about things like this? I thought you wanted to become Hokage? It was your dream and yadayadayada.”
“It was. It is! But now that I know the responsibilities… I mean, have you seen Kashi? He looks ten years older because of the position!”
Kurama snickered. “He does, doesn’t he?” The fox agreed with a grin. “Or maybe it’s the silver hair?”
“I’m having second thoughts Kurama.” Naruto admitted sadly.
“It’s not abnormal kit. You’ll be responsible for many lives, including those of your friends and fellow shinobi. But you know you won’t have to do it all alone. There will be help.” Kurama answered wisely.
“Yes but still…” Naruto sighed deeply. “I don’t think I’m ready for this.”
“You surprise me kit.” Kurama said as he opened one eye. “But if it really bothers you that much, talk to your mate about it. He knows the position best. He might even have felt the same before he became the village’s alpha.”
“Alright. Thanks Kurama.” Naruto said as he rolled his eyes at the fox’s animalistic expressions.
“No problem, now let me sleep.” The Nine-Tails said with a low growl as he closed his eyes.
Naruto let go of his subconscious and looked over to the slim figure sleeping next to him. He carefully shook Kakashi by the shoulder to wake him up, hoping that his lover wouldn’t be dreaming about a fight or anything unnerving like that.
The silver haired shinobi moaned in response.
“Kashi?” Naruto asked softly.
“What is it? What time is it?” The Jonin groaned in a low voice.
“Around three o’clock after midnight.” Naruto whispered.
“What? Then what the hell are you waking me up for Naru?” Kakashi asked as he frowned and turned his back to Naruto.
“I think we need to talk.” The blond said wearily.
“Now?” Kakashi said with a deep sigh.
“Yeah, now.” Naruto said slightly determined as he turned on the small lamp standing on the nightstand.
Kakashi immediately moaned and pulled the sheets over his head.
“It’s important…” Naruto said as he looked down at his fingers, fidgeting with his T-shirt.
“Fine, fine.” Kakashi said sleepily as his head re-appeared. He pushed himself up against the edge of the bed and rubbed his eye. “What is it?”
“I’m not so sure any more about becoming Hokage… I don’t think I’m ready.” The blond whispered softly without looking up.
Kakashi was immediately awake. “What!? But Naruto, why? I mean, how come you suddenly changed your mind? This was your lifelong dream was it not?” Kakashi said jumbled by Naruto’s confession.
“It was. But it just… Suddenly it all seems so real you know. The responsibility and all. The idea that I will be leading our village, negotiations, wars maybe… I can’t… I don’t even want to think about it.” The blond said sadly.
Kakashi sighed. “Naruto, you’re the strongest shinobi in the village, and outside the village as well by the way. Besides that you’ve studied up on other skills as well. Why in the world would you doubt the fact that you’re capable enough?”
“I know I’m ‘capable’.” Naruto retorted. “I’m just not sure if I want the responsibility any more. What if I mess up? What if things go wrong? What if the people end up hating me again?” Naruto spoke out his doubts as he looked into Kakashi’s eye.
“Are you a coward Naruto?” Kakashi asked sternly as he looked back at his young lover.
“A coward? N-no. Of course not.” The blond answered confused.
“You know what you need to do Naruto. You know that you are ready. To know what is right, and choose to ignore it is the act of a coward. You are not a coward Naruto. Tomorrow you’ll undergo the ceremony, you’ll take that blasted Hokage robe from me, and you’ll do fine, more than fine. The best Hokage Konoha has ever had, remember?” Kakashi asked softly as he put an arm around his jumbled lover.
Naruto nodded softly.
“I’ll be there the entire time Naruto. And I know you’ll be a great Hokage, just like your father was. If you doubt yourself, think about him. He would be immensely proud of you.”
“I suppose.” Naruto responded with a tiny smile.
“It will be okay. Stop worrying.” Kakashi said as he pulled the blond close for a hug.
Naruto felt some of the anxiety and stress fall of him as he leaned into Kakashi’s hug. He looked up when he heard Kakashi snicker.
“What is it?” Naruto asked curiously as he raised an eyebrow.
“It’s just very unlike you to be self-conscious and unsure. Usually you’re exclaiming how great you’re going to be and all.” Kakashi said with a slight smile.
Naruto sighed as he rested his head against the older shinobi’s shoulder. “I know, it just kind of hit me when we went to bed. So much will change tomorrow.”
“I know. But it will be great. You’ll see. Now try to calm down a little and try to get some rest okay?”
“Kay.” The blond replied sleepily as he snuggled in close to Kakashi’s side. Somehow, Kakashi’s hand caressing his back, the Jonin’s steady heartbeat, and even his breathing pattern always made Naruto feel more at ease. Soon enough he drifted off into some tangled dreams.
