"I DONT WANT TO DIE"

breathe

Breathe

BREATHE GOD DAMMIT

*GASP*

If it were not the cold rush of air entering my body, I would not have known I was breathing. Between the roars, the cries for help, and the absolute terror coursing through my body. I needed to force myself to consciously breathe.

In, out In, out In, out In, out In, out In, out

The action became automized. My body changing and greedily sucking in the energy, as if it was a baby not fed properly for months. The energy nourishing my body. Creating a hot area in my stomach. Until it became too hot. My throat was burning itself from inside out. I don't know how I still had a voice. I was in so much pain that all I saw was red. Red all around my body. Red inside my body. In my veins. Red in my eyes.

But I kept crying

Because I couldn't do anything else.

A few moments pasted and my head now cognitive enough to realize that the pain was stabilizing, but only when I exhaled. Made me want to stop breathing altogether. As a MATTER OF FACT, why the HELL do I even need to breathe. This is some kind of personal hell. I mean I'm in constant torture. With no idea what's going on. Why should I keep going? Why should I even try to fight for my life?

But what if I make it? I mean it hurts a lot but I'm still alive. What's the rest of my life. Eating, sleeping, playing, and working with liquid lava running through my veins as I wait for the release of death.....

I really didn't want to die. I couldn't even keep the thought in my head long enough to entertain it. I wanted to live.

I WANTED TO LIVE!

All the sudden the energy receded and stop hurting my body. It strengthen me and made me stronger than anyone else. This is my story.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" I wasn't even laughing out loud, I was laughing in my head. How messed up is that. But this pain wasn't so bad. I just need to go to sleep. Ignore the pain for a few seconds.

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

Small whispers of smoke grazed the third hokages skin as another big shock hit him for the what? 4th time this day. Why wasn't it him? He did his part, he worked day in and out, gave his youth, now even his family and this damn village wanted even more. All because of

"HIRUZEN"

If it were anyone else he would have taken their hide for calling him so disrespectfully. But he needed him. Now more than ever. He was too old for this shit.

" Leave us"

The shivering nurse was more than happy to exit this whole building but this room would have to do.

"Yes hokage-sama" she also bowed to the second man just to make sure and swiftly but calmly as she could exited the room. She really wanted to forget everything that just happened.

"The jinchuriki needs to be properly raised. We are in a dangerous time like no other. Give him to me and I will make sure they will be able to raise this village on their back!"

"Calm yourself Danzo. I know of your little group and what they go through. I cannot desecrate his memory by using his kid as a overgrown kunai. I will make sure he is raised well. A Jinchuriki needs to know love as well as strength. How else will he embrace the will of fire."

Danzo nearly damned snarled." DON'T GIVE ME THAT. 'wiLl oF fIrE'. How nice must it be to proclaim such statements. How was the will of fire when the brat and his-"

A wave of killing intent hit the air locking everything in place. "Don't you dare test me Shimura. I am still the Hokage regardless of what you might try." Fury and pain coloring his voice.

The whole hospital frozen still once again. It wasn't until some of their patients panicked that some forced their self to move. As of the cause of it? stopped by a mere baby's cry.

He calmed himself.

" Then I have a proposition."

This argument already tiring, Hiruzen decided to give it a chance.

"And what pray tell, is your 'Proposition'. You knew what my response of your plan for Naruto before you even said it. "

"I understand if you won't let me raise Naruto. But at the very least. Give me this brat. His body has been fused with the nine tails chakra. You know as well has me that he can't be left alone for someone to pick him up. This is a different case from the kyuubi brat. He might as well be part tailed beast."

"No-"

"WHAT!"

"LET ME FINISH. Watch yourself Danzo. I love this village just as much as you and I will put it above my life but the village is on my head. Not yours. I decide where it goes and you follow. Got it ROYAL ADVISOR?"

A stunned silence followed by a "Understood"

"Now, I understand the danger this child poses. However they will not come within 10 kunais of your organization. I will raise both of them myself."

'And raise another Orochimaru' but Danzo held his tongue.

"One, They will be raised together. Two, No one should know of the boys...infection. Though that would only be a short solution as the whiskers would send warnings. So from now on, they are both brothers. Both will be Uzumaki. Wipe the boys record clean. I will personally chose someone to raise them. When I feel like they are ready, they will be trained and go to the academy. I will decide more on how they are raised later. oh, and deal with the nurse. And for the love of whatever you care to believe in besides the village, don't kill her. But put someone on her and make sure that she never remembers of this."

Danzo wanted for the brat to be his to raise but he knows how hypnotizing the will of fire could be, so at the very least he could give his Hokage this one, but...

"I want to have a say in their growth."

A few seconds passed before the Hokage acquested to Danzos request. "Fine. But I have the final say. Now what do we do with him. Even as a brat hes special."

Both eyes turned to said 'brat' to see him staring straight at both of them unblinkingly. As if he couldn't take his eyes off them. Tracking both of them as if... they were a danger. It wasn't the baby's cry that made the Hokage calm himself down. It was the way the kid reacted to his killing intent. He didn't control himself as the whole building could tell. But for the kid to cry and focus on both of them. Baring his teeth at them no less. He said it once and he will say it again. He's to old for this shit.

But Danzo thought he could hold off his plans for a little while if Hiruzen was acting like a Hokage should. At the very least until their enemies are wiped out. And hopefully the brat turns out to be more promising himself. He was beyond his prime. But a protégé to pass his knowledge on? Well he would see.
