eyes open slowly , carefully , painfully , as the sun shines brightly onto cyan irises . he squints , lifting his arm to hold his head , but everything feels heavy . it seems he lost consciousness  .  .  .  shit . naruto is still fighting , the entire earth around them is collapsing & crumbling , & gaara does not have the time to feel so weak . he tries to stand , to back up his dearest friend in battle , to protect him , but he stumbles & crashes to his knees , sand moving quickly to soften the blow . 

dammit  .  .  .  of all the times for his body to be so weak . he slaps his palms to the ground beneath him & reality comes blasting into his sight . naruto  .  .  .  where is naruto ? everything is swirling in a fit of chaos , & he cannot find the boy he worries so intensely for . the boy he’s sworn in his heart to protect at all costs , no matter what . his inability will not be naruto’s detriment . 

                                                                     -- 

it’s not long before several tails catch his eye , chakra like solidified liquid dancing around who he presumes to be naruto . so , it’s come this far , then . 

his knees buckle , but he manages to stand . his sand lifts him from his feet & enters the other jinchuuriki’s area of destruction as fast as possible . never mind the enemy that has already been defeated , naruto needed to regain control . he needed help & gaara was the only nearby enough to do anything . 

                                                          ❛   naruto --  !!   ❜

there’s so much worry in his voice . he sounds as if he were in agony . his expression is concerned , his eyes wide & burning , his lips parted & his forehead wrinkled just above his nose  .  .  .  he doesn’t trust himself to do this , but at the same time , he feels like it’s something only he can manage . 

he closes his eyes so very tightly & reaches his fingers to touch the boy’s , the monster’s , face . his feelings are so thick with remorse , doubt , & sympathy that he could almost cry . almost , he thinks , as a single tear makes itself down a now , otherwise , emotionless expression . his hands burn with the contact of the nine tails chakra .

                                       ❛   naruto , you must snap out of it !   ❜

using words right now is foolishness . instead , he opts to encase the boy in a dome of sand & do only what he’s learned from experience . with brutal intensity , he forces his forehead into naruto’s own until blood draws from above his brow bone .

                                                     ❛   uzumaki naruto  !   ❜

@9fox​  asked:  bb  naruto:  jumps  onto  kakashi's  back

it  would  be  easy  to  substitute  himself  with  a  log  or  to  dodge  naruto  completely  and  let  him  fall  to  the  ground  ,  but  the  part  of  him  that  looks  at  naruto  and  remembers  that  kushina  had  once  smiled  at  him  and  told  him  that  he’d  be  naruto’s  big  brother  forces  him  to  keep  still  and  allow  the  blonde  to  land  onto  his  back.  kakashi  sighs  a  little  ,  sagging  as  if  naruto  was  heavy  (  but  he  wasn’t  ,  it  was  the  ghosts  that  still  haunt  kakashi  to  this  day  ).  ‘  naruto  ...  you  have  ten  seconds  to  get  off  of  me  ...  ’

A HISS ZAPS FROM HIS LIPS WITH COURSING ELECTRICITY . he glares onward in a manner of lacking seriousness , simply irritated by the other's presence , yet simultaneously relaxed in it . he sighs & avoids meeting the boy's eyes before scoffing to the winds . ❛ i came here to see you . ❜ yet , naruto is ever - distracted by anything & everything .

“   i’ll  be  the  strongest  thing ,   don’t  miss  it .   ” ( @9fox )

“   sorry   to   burst   your   bubble,   but   you   need   to   actually   pay   attention   to   what   Jiraiya   teaches   you   if   you   want   to   be   ‘the   strongest   thing’.   and   yes,   i   know   how   much   of   a   pain   that   statement   is.”

Eyes   roll,   arms   folded   over   chest   (   it's   like   looking   at   her   former   teammate,   years   ago,   before   life   weathered   them   both   ),   Tsunade   acknowledges   Narutos’s   potential   –   she   has   seen   what   he   can   do,   what   his   perseverance   and   desire   to   become   Hokage   can   push   him   to   accomplish.   But   the   beast   within   him   is   a   bloodthirsty   monster,   ready   to   tear   apart   the   village   if   allowed   a   glimpse   of   freedom   from   its   fleshy   prison.   Tsunade   knows   it’s   dangerous   to   give   Naruto   that   much   power   -   Jiraiya   knows   too.

He   is   just   a   boy   –   said   Jiraiya   to   her,   amidst   cups   of   sake   and   sorrowful   memories   -   he   could’ve   been   me,   or   anyone.   Minato   would   not   want   his   son   to   grow   up   thinking   himself   trash.   Because   he   isn’t.

Teeth   grit,   a   small   puff   of   air   exhales   through   her   nostrils,   she   lowers   her   head   for   a   moment,   uncrosses   her   arms   and   places   a   hand   upon   Naruto’s   head   (   he   has   grown   considerably,   taller   and   taller;   soon   he   will   not   be   that   little   pipsqueak   he   was   when   they   first   met   ),   “   head   up,   kid.   never   ….   never   down,   okay?   you’ll   see   things,   from   now   on,   that   will   fuck   with   your   head.   and   the   trick   is   to   always,   always   remember   what   you’re   fighting   for.   I   know   why   you   wanna   be   Hokage   –   keep   that   thought   tucked   in   your   mind,   always.   ”   a   soft   ruffle   of   sunshine   hair,   she   smiles,   “   you’re   good,   naruto.   your   heart   is   filled   with   goodness   –   don’t   fuck   it   up,   or   you’ll   make   Jiraiya   upset,   and   then   i’ll   have   to   deal   with   his   mopy   ass.   ”

                   ❝ I gotta hand it to you, kid.                   You’re not an easy person to find. ❞ 

   What was easy was infiltrating the infamous Leaf Village. An oversized kasa and a plain black cloak devoid of the Akatsuki’s RED CLOUD OF DEATH was all the Madman needed to slink beneath patrolmen’s noses. In all honesty the getup wasn’t exactly necessary, Hidan’s purpose for visiting was innocent enough, but many Lands didn’t take too kindly to the presence of an uninvited mercenary. Not that he minded. After all he wasn’t exactly “harmless”. Not to mention it was much more fun this way. 

    Following his remark, the Cultist steps out from the depths of the shadows. The upper half of his face remains veiled ; no more than a WOLFISH GRIN flashing below the hat’s brim to hint toward his true identity.
