Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Pills and Ramen ❯ Multiple Reflections ( Chapter 3 )

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

 

 

 

Eyes bulging out of there sockets, Kakashi sputter disbelievingly. “W…w…what”

 

“Yes you heard me, Naruto was sexually assaulted as a child,” Tsunade flatly states while trying to control her anger, her clenching the folder in her hand tightly.

 

Recomposing himself, Kakashi resumes in his usually lazy stance. But if one was to look carefully there is obvious anger flaming in his eyes. “Why wasn't I informed of this before, when he was assigned to my team? Why now and what are you planning to do to help him?”

 

“I honestly do not know why Sarutobi-sensei never told you about Naruto's case or why he even allowed Naruto take these medications. It is possible that he was not informed of these happening if the villagers keep the information from him. I am telling you now because my legally you are his guardian, being his leader, since he has no parents or relatives. As for what to do now, first and foremost we need to stop him from taking these medications.”

 

Glancing over the neatly lined bottles on the desk, Tsunade gives a sigh of frustration. “This is going to be very difficult for Naruto. Normally these medications would not be a problem to takes patients off of, but seeing that he has been taking these for so long at such a young age; I do not know how he will be affected. Stopping everything at once may cause him to relapse into even deeper depression, but we no other choice. He needs to get better and not to just cover up his problems with medication.”

 

“Don't worry too much Kakashi; I will make sure Naruto gets better. Now go and rest a bit and go to the mission office. You still have that mission I was about to assign you before you took off to complete. He should be awake by the time you return. Now go.” Tsunade orders the obviously weary jounin.

 

As soon as Kakashi is out of sight Jiraya appears from out of the shadows of the room. “Tsunade, I am taking Naruto away as soon as he is well enough to move. I may not be any certified psychiatrist, but I believe being away from the village for a while will help Naruto. In addition to that, for the three years we will be away, I will be training Naruto to be prepared to deal with the Akatsuki.”

 

Letting out a heavy sigh Tsunade reluctantly nods in agreement. “As much as I do not like Naruto leaving my side, I have to agree that will be for the best. You have my permission to take him as soon as I deem him healthy enough to go.” Without another word Jiraya leave as suddenly as he appeared.

Darkness, all around there is nothing but empty cold darkness. “Hello…Is anybody there?” Naruto's scared voice calls out to the infinite darkness. His surrounding so dark that he can not even see the out line of this hand before his face.

 

To his left a soft whimper catches his attention. “Why….why…why,” the quite trembling voices says. Turning towards the sound of the voice a small child hugging his knees to his chest tightly on the floor is illuminated by a dim soft light. Taking a closer look the boy had a tuff of blond hair just like himself. “Why…why…please don't touch me there. No, don't look at me like that. Why… why… why…” The little boy continues to mutter softly to himself.

 

Taking a step towards the huddled figure another voice directly opposite of the direction of the first catches his attention. “Sorry…sorry… I am so sorry. I am a monster, idiot, loser, a moron, and a murderer.” The self condemning voice whispers. Turning around to face the direction of that voice another figure is illuminated in a dark green tinted light. The person looked just like himself but with rivulets of tears streaming down his face and he was kneeling, slouched over.

 

Confused upon seeing so many copies of him self, Naruto grows frustrated and confused. “What the hell is going on here? Why are there so many copies of my self here?”

 

“Ha ha ha ha you still haven't figured it out yet? Damn you are stupid, but I suppose that would be right since I am the smarter you.” A third voice states from the direction right in between the first two.

 

Looking to the source of the voice Naruto sees another copy of him self. This one dressed in a dark red shirt and baggy black pants, illuminated in a dark red light. “What the hell are you talking about?” Naruto yells to the dark figure in front of him.

 

Smiling sinisterly the dark Naruto places his hands casually on his hips. “Well if I must spell it out for you. We are you, the sides of yourself that you have suppressed. We are the parts of your mind and emotions that you have suppressed for so long. For years we have been trying to reach you but those damn pill you take have been keeping us away. Now however you can not hide any longer.”

 

“What do you mean parts of me? Stop fucking around.” Naruto yells frustratingly.

 

Letting out a irritated sigh, the figure in red light explains with annoyance lacing his every word. “God damn you are stupid. After all that you are still confused. Okay that cry baby over there hugging his knees is your fear. The other cry baby over there is your self hatred or in other words low self esteem. I, the best one of all, am your anger and hatred. There, now do you understand. If you weren't my self I would love you kill you to rid the world of your stupidity.”

 

As the information sinks in, confusion once again fills Naruto. “Hey, hey if you are really my emotions then where is happiness and stuff like that? You know the positive feeling.”

 

The `dark' Naruto breaks out into hysterical laughter. “Oh that, happiness is right behind you; I must say he is the most pathetic side of you off all.”

 

Turning about face, expecting the happy part of his mind to be strong and radiant, he only saw a barely visible transplant copy of himself. “What the hell, why is he all faded and ghost like?”

 

Chuckling `dark' Naruto comments “see I told you he was pathetic. Do you really expect to see happiness to be as prominent in your mind as you see us? Have you really experienced any real happiness? I think not. Oh well look at the time, its time for you to wake up. And one more thing, we will be speaking to each other a lot more often from now on I guarantee it.”
