Sometimes, Sadness is just too Powerful to Bear
Bonus Chapter: Naruto's New Purpose in the Afterlife
Darkness.
So much darkness…
How is it possible for there to be so much darkness…
These, and more, were going through the mind of Uzumaki Naruto, as he was completely covered in the feeling.
"…Where am I…?" He said to himself. "Is… is this… heaven…?"
Naruto tried to look around, to find out where he was. But all that he could see was everlasting darkness.
"Don't tell me… I went to… the OTHER place," Naruto said fearfully.
"Don't worry, you didn't," a female sounding voice said.
"What the… Who's there…?" Naruto said, a bit nervously.
"Look to your left," the voice replied.
Naruto did as the voice said, and found himself face to face with a beautiful woman.
She was wearing blue boots with a little bit of gold on them, a flowing white long skirt with the same gold, blue and gold armor, same colored gauntlets, and a light blue helmet with white feathers coming out from both sides. She also had long flowing light blue hair, tied into a ponytail, and a sword hanging by her left side.
"Who are you?" Naruto questioned, a little unnerved at the sword.
"My name is Lenneth. I am a Valkyrie Goddess of Life and Death. My job is to decide where to place the poor souls that cry out when they die. I either take them to Asgard, or to Pergetoury," The woman said.
"Asgard? Pergetoury? You mean, like Heaven and Hell?" Naruto inquired.
"If that is what you humans call it, then yes," Lenneth replied.
"…I see…" Naruto said. "…So, where are you going to take me?"
"Well, originally, when YOU died, you were to be denied entrance to Asgard no matter how pure your heart was, because you had the Nine-tailed fox, an Unholy-being, within your body. But since you and the fox are now separate beings, you are to be allowed entrance after all," Lenneth declared.
"Great!" Naruto said happily. "Will I see my mother and father there as well?"
"Yes. They were both good people, good enough to be let into Asgard," Lenneth confirmed.
At hearing those words, Naruto's eyes began to water with joy. 'I… I finally get to meet my mother and father…' he thought. "Okay, lead the way please, Valkyrie-sama!"
"Very well. Follow me," Lenneth said.
And as the two began to walk out of the darkness, Lenneth was having her own thoughts.
'This boy… I can sense that he has a pure heart. The purest of them all. And even without the Kyuubi within him, he still has a strong power deep within. I am glad that he was allowed to enter Asgard after all. …I can tell that he'll be a great asset in the coming war…"
And so, the mortal life of Naruto may be over, but his life as a holy warrior has just begun…
Okay, that's the REAL ending of this story. When I get 5 chapters into 'I am your tool', I'll begin to write the side-story, 'Naruto, Warrior of Asgard.' It'll be a Crossover with Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, and show what happens with Naruto during the events of 'I am your tool.' I hope you'll like it. Catch you next continue!
