-------------------------------

Time was a fickle thing and a single fleeting moment could brush a memory in red or black. No one knew this more than Naruto. The carrier of the Kyuubi and the child of the Yondaime Hokage, a legacy that not many could bring to pass or wished to take upon themselves. Tiny words that burned a hole in his subconscious and spurred the now immortal being through the centuries.

"I believe in you as my son." As it is said, a single moment in time could last forever and small words that could haunt an immortal for many centuries just as the Kyuubi container learned. Even now his dreams still twirled around that single moment of sorrow and extreme happiness, brushed in the black of sorrow and the red of pure love that he never felt before.

---------------------------------

Darkness so powerful not a single moment could bring a slight twist of hope. Stumbling through a time where forever would always begin at the dawn of a tragedy. It was on a night as black as the pits of hell, not a single star above in the empty skies and no moon to light the path that was about to be walked. Danger and blood staining the air in a tangible hue...

Coming from an A-rank mission, Naruto was now merely seventeen and rising above all expectations of the Hidden Village of Leaf. This time however the specialist Jounin knew something was terribly wrong, the once beautiful village was in ruins and not a single soul dwelled in the empty shell that now existed. Frozen and frightened the young Jounin made his way forward; after a long hard battle of the fourth shinobi world war this was too soon for another tragedy like this.

"Kyuubi? What's going on?" Naruto asked in a strained voice; his heart breaking. It looked like Pein had swiped through the village again only this time there was nothing left and no Godaime Hokage to help the innocents that were strewn across the dead village.

'I don’t know kit. But it cannot be anything good.' The demon fox said in a subdued voice; it looked like the king of hell itself and the prince of darkness had swept through the village and left nothing for Naruto to hold onto. The demon fox knew the scent that lingered in the air as one of destruction and death as well as the smell of an otherworldly presence; maybe his theory had not been so wrong.

"K-K-Kyuubi! What now, what do we do?" Naruto cried frantically, his emotions slipping and spreading through him like wildfire. It hurt; he could no longer even believe his eyes. Shock and fear did not even begin to describe the emotions that were causing turmoil in his heart. He could feel himself fading and allowing Kyuubi to take control of his movements.

"We need to flee, kit. Is there anything you need to get before we do?" Kyuubi asked carefully, even in this rubble Naruto might have something important to keep with him in the long hard times ahead. Kyuubi watched from within his cage as his kit lost control of himself, silent tears becoming screams of agony and nothing the old fox could do would help. Raking through the rubble that used to be his apartment, stones and debris in his way and yet nothing stopping the young Kitsune container from leaving no stone unturned. Fingers finally curling around the one object that had become his life. The one object he could not let go of or turn away from even in his immense state of sadness. A black polished box, holding his most prized possession. A gift from Tsunade after the war; his mind reeling with sadness as he remembered that moment.

"For you Naruto." Tsunade said softly as they entered her office. Naruto stared at the black box ominously, was it dangerous? Tentatively he opened it; frowning at the contents.

"What?" He asked confused inside on the black velvet laid two objects, a specially designed kunai with kanji running down the handle and a hitai-ate of dark blue silk that looked worn. Fingers easily tracing the Konhagakura symbol, feeling the small dents and scratches as if it was familiar to him.

"Jiraiya wanted me to give this to you after your coming of age. It was your father's and I'm sure Minato would want you to have them."

Sobs that could break every heart filled the empty air; at the very least there was something he could hold onto...

-------------------------------------

Naruto jerked awake, tears slowly rolling down his scarred cheeks as he sat up; outside his window there was a heavy storm thundering deep into the distance but that was not what bothered him. His large house was shimmering with his chakra and a sadness that no one could explain. Blue eyes dipped in a tearful haze to observe his surroundings warily and a sigh of relief spilled from his lips as his eyes fell on his father's Hitai-ate. Now lying on the small table next to his bed. Fingers slowly curling around the cold metal and bringing it close to his heart; memories even though they were painful were a blessing in these long and uncertain centuries that he had spent alone and drifting through the world.

'Kit? You alright?' Kyuubi asked softly as he sensed the immense sadness that flitted through Naruto.

"'m fine Kyuubi just tired." Naruto said and even then it did not help; he could not go back to his dreams even if he wished he could. Naruto sighed and pulled on his pyjama top that lay on the floor and headed downstairs to the studio; artificial light shining bright as the door creaked open. Blue eyes observing the many canvases covered in white cloths to hide them from dust. The smell of oil paint was thick and heavy along with turpentine; yet Naruto barely noticed it as he moved forward and ripped the sheet from one easel and took his brush in hand and started to work. Time faded and all that mattered was finishing the piece that was standing in from of him; mocking him with its unfinished colours and dull background.

'Kit I know you're in a trance but you need to get ready you're going to be late.' Kyuubi whispered in Naruto's mind and effectively shocking Naruto from his creative haze. Naruto nodded, cleaned his brushed and stepped back to observe his work. A small smile flitting across his lips; such a beautiful peaceful scene. Namikaze Minato was standing on the Hokage Mountain observing his beloved village; wind playing with his hair and a small gentle smile across his lips. Yes perfect, Naruto thought but it still lacked something. Now was not the time to worry about that. He berated himself. Sighing Naruto carefully made his way upstairs to get ready.

The music room was quiet and Naruto smiled, finally peace and stillness that he needed for once. He was now a University Professor that taught both music and visual arts; many believed he was a prodigy because he still looked seventeen but in actual fact he was the oldest person that graced time. The students were rarely a problem but every now and then Naruto had to deal with trouble makers and it was not easy considering he often fell into their pranks and ended up helping out as well. He cursed his nature that never seemed to fade ever since he was child. Oh, well. At least the poor maths professor wouldn't be able to trace it back to him. The arts faculty was the best in the university and many students wanted to be a part of it only to decide it was too much work and no play.

'It's just me and you now.' Naruto whispered as he approached the 47 string harp, fingers itching to play the melodies that built up in his heart. Sitting on the stool and his feet resting on the pedals Naruto leaned forward; forehead touching the cool frame of the harp before poising his fingers and teasingly pulled a string. A clear sound echoed beautifully through the large music room. That was it, he needed to let go before he could fall into his past again. At those thoughts and memories Naruto's fingers immediately traced the silk hitai-ate around his neck; smiling softly as he began to play haunting melody. Fingers glided softly as sorrow and heart ache rose in his chest, up and down the notes went as he pulled a harmonic melody from the harp in front of him. He hummed along to the tune and closed his eyes, playing blind as he continued. He did not know how long he managed to carry on but eventually forced himself to stop, his fingers were protesting and his sadness was becoming overwhelming and yet he didn't fall into temptation to carry on. He sighed as he rested his forehead against the harp and took another deep breath to calm himself. Blue eyes snapping up as soft claps invaded his sensitive hearing.

"Beautiful." Was the whispered word and Naruto turned to say a silent thank you but it stalled on his lips as he observed the shy student next to the Literature Professor Shiro Kajuen. Tall frame, messy blond hair and sparkling blue eyes with a gentle smile. Naruto chocked on his saliva as he recognized the young man. Namikaze Minato, there was no doubt about that. No doubt at all. Yes, Naruto had met several reincarnations of the ones he knew in the past but never had he caught a glimpse of his father's reincarnation. Until now that is. Naruto struggled to keep the tears at bay; the day he had been hoping would happen was finally here but now he felt just as lost as he was when he was a lonely child growing up in Konoha surrounded by hatred and distrust.

"W-w-who is this?" Naruto stuttered as he struggled to get his emotions in order.

"Naruto-sensei how many times have I warned you not to let yourself get caught up in such sadness. You didn't even notice when we came in." Shiro warned but Naruto sat unfazed as he leaned against the harp, blue eyes never leaving Minato's form. He opened his mouth to speak but Minato beat him to it.

"Namikaze Minato, hajimemashite Uzumaki-sensei." Was the soft lilting voice and Naruto nodded and returned the greeting before turning questioning eyes towards the other professor in the room.

"Naruto-sensei I know its two weeks into the second semester and I know you're not taking on any new students but Minato here was transferred and he ended up in your specialized art class. I thought I'd let you know before you got a surprise visit from the dean tomorrow." Shiro explained and Naruto nodded, his mind still in turmoil. He tried to consult his live in demon fox but Kyuubi was snoring in his cage. So with a short nod Naruto stood up and headed up towards the two were standing. Not noticing how blue eyes followed his every move and trained on the hitai-ate around his neck.

"Welcome to Hana Yuri University of Japan Minato I'll see you in class tomorrow. Lecture theatre six and don't be late." Naruto smiled even though it did not reach his eyes. Leaving his new student with the literature professor. Before he left through the large double doors he heard the whisper of Shiro.

"Don't worry Minato-kun, Naruto-sensei is a bit weird but he's good at what he does." Naruto could not help but chuckle and in a mock angered voice yelled back.

"I heard that Shiro and that means no more ramen outings for the rest of the semester." His mind lightening a bit as a low moan of disappointment travelled through the music hall. Maybe, just maybe something good can come from this; Naruto thought to himself.

------------------------------------

"Kyuubi? You still asleep you dirty old fox." Naruto said as he walked into his large house. There was grumbling and a few colourful swear words before he heard the large fox snarl.

'No Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto! No thanks to you and your babbling all the way from campus.' Kyuubi huffed and then fluffed up his fur before lying on his paws again.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to its just that I'm excited and I want to share the feeling with you." Naruto mumbled guiltily as he dressed in casual clothes before falling on the large comfortable couch and flipped on the TV. He heard Kyuubi sigh before whispering the words 'I know, kit. I know.' and going silent once more.

'Just this once I'm letting you do what you feel is right kit; don't screw it up.' Kyuubi muttered.

"What's that suppose to mean!" Naruto yelled clearly offended and confused.

'What I said. Now shut up kit; as you said I'm old so I want to sleep.' with that all communication stopped and Naruto sighed before watching old cartoons, his mind not really concentrating on anything but just drifting through memories as a fleeting breeze that decided to bring a bit of joy to a dull day.
