the fire that rages within

yamixnaru:

       So.. What was he doing in Konoha again? Yami hated coming here— Everything was just a huge reminder as to why he was created. Where all the hatred came from. And he always felt like slaughtering everyone in sight when he walked these streets. 

        Thankfully for them, it was night. And most peoplle were at home in their beds. 

          Yami was just about to leave, figuring there was no point in staying since Naruto was out anyway, before he was halted by a small voice. 

          He stopped, peering over his shoulder to the other. Red eyes standing out in the dark. 

                               Another kid who thought he was Naruto, aye…? 

          With a sick like grin, the teen turned on his heels to face the kid, brows furrowing at his sight. 

                                                      He could smell the fear on this poor kid. 

“Me..? Why, I’m Naruto Uzumaki, of course! Dattebayo!” 

⌈ ほのお ⌋—- Small hands gripped the edges of his sleeves; small steps continued to slowly back away from the eerily familiar man. The blond man tells him that he was the esteemed Naruto Uzumaki and yet there is no tone of assurance in his words.

                        No— Naruto Uzumaki was a ray of sunshine and hope, even in the darkest nights, he seem to illuminate brighter than the stars. On the stormiest days his smile would peek out from gray clouds like the summer sun and would warm the cold seasons.

                       This man was not the Hokage he grew up idolizing and aspiring to become. This man seemed to embrace the darkness around him in a sinister manner, and the only thing that illuminated from him were his deceitful red eyes that glowed with the hunger of killing. This man was not Naruto Uzumaki. This man was either an assassin in disguise, or a malicious doppelganger.

                                  “—I-I’m n-not—” He felt his back hit the wall, and quickly gripped the handle of his hidden kunai behind his back. “I’m not stupid—! S-so who a-are you?”
