Summary
Naruto isn't quite sure how it came to this.
Well, he does know how, obviously, but even then, he can't quite grasp it.
Kakashi looks at him with something akin to pain in his eyes. Naruto can almost taste it in the man's chakra. Not pain. Guilt.
"Nee, Dog-san, can you please let me go?" He tries. He has to try. Needs to.
He sees Kakashi's mask moving as he opens his mouth to speak, but no words come. Instead, his sensei lifts the hitai-ate covering his left eye, the Sharingan red shining in the dark shade of the trees.
"I am sorry, Naruto." The jounin takes a fighting stance, kunai in hand. "I can't let you leave."
He knew he couldn't. Naruto was a possession of Konoha. Something to be owned. A shield to protect. A sword to wound.
Naruto felt the familiar warmth of Kurama's chakra, the red fury it contained. He let it take over.
Just a little. Just for a moment.
