Tenebroso
He floated in dark empty space, unable to see or hear anything around him. It was just nothingness. It was also really boring. Flipping over to hang upside down, Naruto contemplated the mysterious mass of sentient black ichor that had seemed so intent on devouring him. What was it doing inside his mind? It had appeared when he tried to pull off the seal on the cage… Naruto straightened up with a serious look on his face.
Of course. That mass must be a defense mechanism of the seal to either keep him out of the cage or trap whatever was inside the cage. But for the life of him, he had no idea what could have replaced Kyuubi within that cage. All he knew was that it made him feel deeply uncomfortable. He also had a feeling that if he ever opened the cage; everything would change irrevocably.
Should he open the cage or not?
“Naruto, I was looking for you but I couldn’t find you.” Minato’s concerned voice said behind him. With a startled jolt, Naruto looked at his new surroundings – when had the void changed to the beach that he had seen earlier? He blinked; his mind was a very strange place.
“Naruto?”
Naruto looked at Minato suspiciously and replied carefully, “Why are you asking me? Shouldn’t you already know?”
“What? Why would I know where you’ve gone without you telling me?”
“Well… because you’re supposed to be part of my mind, you faker. But you aren’t. You aren’t the real Minato either. You are a manifestation of the seal, aren’t you?” Naruto calmly retorted.
In response, the fake Minato only smiled benignly. “Very good. You recognised me but this is the end for you.”
“What do you mean?!” Naruto stepped back, readying himself for a fight. He wasn’t prepared to see the fake Minato’s blue eyes turn completely black like voids. He was rather freaked out as the imposter’s smile morphed into a wide psychotic grin. Gods, he never wanted to see the real Minato go loco if he was going to be anything like this.
“This is the end.” The thing purred sultrily in Minato’s voice behind him and hot blood splattered onto the white sands. Naruto gasped, his head starting to spin as he stared in disbelief at the arm that protruded from his chest. He was too numb to feel anything; only a faint nausea as he recognised his beating heart in the thing’s hand. He barely felt a brush of lips against his neck as he was pulled closer to the body behind him. His vision was going black…
“You’re mine.”
Naruto woke up with a splitting migraine. Feeling the urge to vomit, he dashed to the bathroom and retched into the toilet bowl barely in time. Even without looking, he knew that Minato had followed him into the bathroom as he heard his hurried footsteps.
“You alright? Do you need to see a doctor?” Minato asked in concern. Naruto shakily got up and moved to the sink to rinse his mouth out. He replied tiredly, “I’ll be fine. Just get me some aspirin and I’ll be fine in a short while. You know that I’m made of hardy stuff.”
“...alright. If you say so.” Minato reached out to brush his cheek. Naruto involuntarily stepped backwards, turning away from Minato.
“Naruto…? Are you really alright?”
“Yeah. Can you get me the aspirin now please?” He quickly replied, trying to cover up his reflex. In the dim light, Minato’s eyes looked almost black and for some reason, he had been utterly frightened of him. Thankfully, the momentary fear only lasted for a split second and Minato didn’t seem to notice his lapse. With a slow nod, he stepped out of the bathroom to get the medicine and Naruto slid down to the floor, feeling incredibly exhausted.
“I’m going crazy…”
“Where’s that scroll?!” Kushina shouted as she rummaged through the pile of scrolls on the floor, trying to find the scroll with Minato’s writing in it. She had nearly forgotten all about it until she read one of the other sealing scrolls on a whim. Even if she might no longer be with Minato or that he was now very different, it did not mean that the long years she had been with him were useless. She had some insight into how his mind worked.
Kushina now suspected that Minato had threatened her in the library because he had something to hide from her. Whatever the secret was, the missing scroll must have the answer. Growing increasingly frustrated as the pile of rejected scrolls grew larger, she finally realised, “Goddamnit, it’s not here! That bastard must have replaced it with another scroll!”
Kushina glared at the offending scroll that she definitely hadn’t picked off the shelves before tossing it onto the rest of the scrolls. She was going to find out Minato’s secret no matter what! Especially if it concerned her and Kyuubi – as soon as she got the chance, she was going to kick Minato’s ass for threatening her.
Due to Tsunade’s medical reforms during Sandaime’s time, the Konoha General Hospital kept a blood bank of all active shinobi in separate tubes. With advanced technology and medical techniques, they could artificially reproduce as much of a shinobi’s blood as long as they had a viable sample on hand. It significantly reduced the risks of rejection and time wastage in finding a viable donor match.
Minato knew that Naruto’s blood sample was already in the bank (long story) and it was straightforward requesting a DNA analysis of his blood. It was not an unusual request as there were often cases where shinobi might have children outside of Konoha. To ensure that the children were not sleeper agents, thorough background checks were performed including DNA analysis. It would take them about three days to finish the analysis. The reports were kept strictly confidential and could only be accessed by authorised personnel and the clients.
“Hokage-sama, your signature please. We need proper authorisation.” The nurse held out a clipboard with a form on it. She passed him a pen. Minato smiled charmingly at her and was briefly amused to see her blush. When he was about to sign the form, he was suddenly gripped by apprehension. Did he really want to know the results of the DNA analysis? He had the strangest feeling that he might not like the results. Minato frowned. It had been ages since he felt this uneasy.
“Sir…? Your signature please.”
The nurse’s voice broke his moment of indecision. Briefly closing his eyes, Minato shook himself out of his reverie and firmly signed the form; “I expect a report as soon as possible. Do this with utmost discretion.”
“Of course, Hokage-sama.”
“Thank you.”
Not giving up, Kushina relied on her memory to write down as much as she could recall of Minato’s notes in the missing scroll. In the end, there were naturally many blanks but two keywords stood out; “Heaven Seal” and “bonding”. Tilting her head sideways to look at the words, Kushina tried to figure out what they were referring to. Obviously, the Heaven Seal or some variation of it; was being used to bound something. But what was the Heaven Seal and its purpose? What was being bound by this seal? Why was Minato using this seal and for what purpose?
Narrowing her eyes in thought, Kushina intuited that whatever it was, it was a really big secret that was so important that Minato would kill to protect it. Despite the threat, she was determined to find out what it was and if need be, put a stop to it. She raised her hand to look at the engagement ring on her finger and said, “I wonder why I wore that for so long…”
With a bittersweet smile, Kushina gently took off the ring and kept it neatly in a box. As she secreted the box away in her drawer, she brushed the velveteen surface with a bittersweet smile, “Goodbye, Minato. Our halcyon days are over for good.”
It was quite a pleasant day to be out doing missions, training or what have you but frankly, Naruto was too tired for that. Prolonged lack of sleep would do that to anyone even if you were an ex-jinchuuriki with Kage-levels of stamina. All he wanted to do was to take a nice, long and untroubled nap without nightmares which he couldn’t even remember.
Nostalgia took him to Training Area 7, which looked exactly the same as the other Training Area 7 in his original dimension. He wistfully smiled as he took in the familiar surroundings before finally spotting an ideal spot for a nap.
He deftly climbed up the large tree and finally stretched out on the huge, wide branch with a content sigh. The sunlight was mostly blocked out by the thick canopy and it was cool inside the tree’s shadow. It was a good thing that Konoha had so many of such large trees around. With a yawn, Naruto drifted off to sleep to the sound of rustling leaves around him.
A familiar presence caused Naruto to quickly wake from his slumber. With a glance, he surmised that he must have slept for at least two hours judging from the golden quality of the late afternoon sun. He looked in the direction of the presence and was not surprised to see that it was Uzumaki Kushina. She looked rather huffy and was venting her frustrations on the hapless wooden post.
Naruto debated whether he should greet her or sneak away; he still couldn’t face her comfortably especially considering his situation. It was already awkward being in someone’s presence knowing that you were banging his/her ex. In his case, it was infinitely more so when you considered that (A) that Kushina was his biological mother, (B) he was banging her ex-fiancee and (C) her ex-fiancee was also his biological father. Sometimes, Naruto really wished that he wasn’t related to them at all just so he could avoid all the heartache and headaches.
A ferocious yell from Kushina and a loud crack signalled the demise of the wooden post as it splintered beneath her fist. Naruto gulped nervously as he realised that she was in a really bad mood (he would have been blind to miss the familiar angry glint in her eyes and her chakra virulently whipping around her in chains). Right, sneaking away it was!
Moving as stealthily as he could, he sidled down the tree and sneaked away from the field. Then Murphy’s Law struck in the form of a loose flying piece of wood that hit Naruto solidly in the back of his head.
“OW!”
His head ringing from the blow, Naruto staggered as he clutched his head. Aghast, Kushina rushed over in the direction of the shout she had heard. She hadn’t expected the wood to fly so far or that there would be someone else in the same field as well.
“Oh my god, are you okay?! I didn’t realise the wood would fly so far… Is that you, Naruto?!” Kushina exclaimed in surprise as she finally recognised him. It had been a long while since the last time they met. The ringing in his head finally passing, Naruto hid his nervousness behind a smile.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine in a couple of hours. How have you been?”
“Gosh, it’s really been a while! It’s great to see you, Naruto!” Kushina grinned widely, genuinely happy to see him. Slinging her arm around his shoulder, she declared, “Let me treat you to tea in apology for accidentally hitting you! I want to catch up with you and find out what you’ve been doing all this while.”
Naruto didn’t have the heart in him to say no to Kushina’s offer despite his desire to escape. He didn’t want to see her disappointed face. It should be alright to spend a few hours with her as long as he didn’t mention anything. With a faint answering smile, he replied, “Sure, it sounds like fun. I’ll like to also know what you’ve been doing lately, Kushina-chan.”
“How was your day?” Minato asked as he lounged on the sofa in the living room of the apartment he shared with Naruto. He had changed into casual clothes, taking the opportunity to relax in his home. Naruto was sitting cross-legged on the floor, cleaning and sharpening his weapons. Not looking up from his kunai that he was carefully cleaning, he replied, “It was fine. Nothing much happened… other than an unexpected encounter with Kushina. It was nice catching up with her even if it was a bit awkward...”
Minato stilled at the mention of his former fiancée. Naruto met Kushina…? He didn’t like the possible implications of this occurrence. Thankfully, Naruto didn’t notice his sudden unease and continued, “You know, we’ve already been together for almost a year…and I still don’t quite understand why you left Kushina for me. She’s a really nice person.”
Minato chuckled and pulled Naruto closer to give him an upside down kiss before replying, “Why? It’s because she isn’t the right person for me. You are.”
“Still… I just can’t understand how you could leave your fiancée of three years whom you knew for almost your entire life for someone you’ve only known for three years…” Naruto looked pensive as he quietly replied.
In reponse, Minato tugged him into his lap to kiss him deeply and was gratified when Naruto melted into his embrace. Before things went too far, he broke off the kiss and said as he looked into Naruto’s eyes, “There. This is your answer. I love you. It’s simple as that.”
Naruto blinked as he slowly comprehended his words and he blushed spectacularly red. He stammered, “O-oh…really?”
Pressing their foreheads together, Minato smiled slowly, “Yes. Really.”
Naruto shyly smiled back, his eyes bright with love.
