Memories Part 2
"This is not good..." Madara muttered, watching as the figures of malice filled villagers crowded around a shaking Naruto.
"Ha! Look at that. The Demon's scared!" One cruel villager sneered at the bleeding boy who was cowering on the floor.
Naruto whimpered in fear and slapped a hand away from his head as he used the wall behind him too stand. Once he was stable he looked up. There were three gasps from each of the Ghostly men. The fear and panic in the young boy's eyes were so clear and so strong it felt like they were suffocating under Naruto's pleading, fearful gaze. Minato gasped for breath as he felt his chest begin too tighten in panic and fear. He looked too the side too see that the other two weren't coping the best either. Madara winced as a knife wound opened on his leg in the exact spot Naruto had been hit.
"Is this what Kurama meant when he said that we would be hurt if we watched the memories?" Minato asked keeping an eye on Madara as he panted through his teeth, his face trying its best too stay passive and uncaring but his eyes betrayed his pain and panic, his breath becoming even more uneven as Naruto's panic grew, subsequently increasing their own as well.
"I-It must be... We must seal the... T-the memory as soon as humanely possible...!" Tobirama squeezed out through his fast breaths.
The fear and panic seemed too be affecting the water user the most while Madara received all of the physical wounds. Minato could only freeze in his panic as he realized that he would be the one too receive all of the mental damage this would cause. Just as the thought crashed on him the blond Hokage crumpled as he felt a wave of destructive and terrifying thoughts hit his brain. He held his head as the pain ripping through his mind grew too be too much. The two Konoha ancestors looked too Minato in concern-turned-worry as the object of their gaze collapsed, whimpering in pain from the mental barrage.
"Run...Go you idiot! Flee! Stay and die! Go,Go,GoGOESCAPERUNDIESAVEYOURSELFKILLEDMURDERERSWEAPONSRUNGOSTAYANDDIE-"
"MINATO!" The voices of Madara and Tobirama cut through the overwhelming sound of Naruto's increasingly panicked thoughts.
The yellow flash gasped and rested his head on the ground. he sucked in large gulps of air as the worried and slightly panicked voices of the two predecessors rang through his head. His thoughts were quickly discarded as the sound of Madara's pained grunt made its way to his ears. Minato looked up too see Madara covered in cuts, gashes, whip lashes and burns. The Uchiha was hiding his hands under his armpits looking too be in a mass of agony. Then he looked at memory Naruto. What he saw made him sick too his stomach. Naruto had been crucified too a wooden beam on the side of a ninja shop; jagged-toothed, silver-bladed daggers tore through his flesh and bones to reach the splintering wood on the other side of the mangled limbs. His shirt had been torn off and left his torso bare. The villagers were lashing at the child with no mercy, the Blond's cries of agony and pleas going unheard over the sound of the screaming, laughing, shouting villagers and the cracking of the whip in a Chunin's hand. Minato, Tobirama and Madara could only watch in fear and disgust as the kid they had promised too protect; the child who had somehow gained the favor of the Gods just by being a cheerful, pure and little ray of sunshine, be beaten too death. They couldn't handle much more of this. Mentally or physically. The pain was so intense they could all feel themselves slipping. A spirit cannot die again, only fade into nothingness for a few months. Tobirama and Minato could already see Madara becoming more and more incorporeal by the second, his eyes taking on a ghostly glint.
"W-we can't do this on our own. We n-need some outside h-help. I'll try and send a message too Kurama." Minato managed too communicate too the other men as Naruto's thoughts and screams hindered his ability too function.
Tobirama and Madara nodded and braced themselves. The pain was only just beginning.
With Kurama, Hashirama, Kushina and Naruto
Kurama woke too the feeling of dread and anticipation brewing in his stomach. He knew from experience that whenever he got feelings like that something bad was going too happen to his Kit. The giant fox moved one of his tails and poked Hashirama in the side gently. The Mokuton user groggily sat up and rubbed his face.
"What is it Kyuu- Kurama?" Hashirama asked, changing to the fox's name half way through the sentence.
"I fear that they may have open-" Kurama stopped at the voice of Minato and a strong static noise invaded his mind.
"Kur*******send hel******opened lock********99*******acciden********Kushina woul*******est"
Static broke up the Hokage's voice but from what he could piece together Minato, Tobirama and Madara; As much as he hated the Uchiha he didn't want one hurt; Were in trouble and needed help and had somehow opened locker number 99. Well Fuc-
"Kurama! Whats going on?!" The voice of a frantic Kushina broke through his thoughts.
He looked down too see wounds appearing on the Blond kit and silent tears crawling down his face. So he was right... This wasn't good.
