Lanterns 8
Naruto soon fell so far into the pits of damnation and no-return, that his only saving grace was a total absence from humanity.
And so he took up himself, and wrapped his darkness around him like a cloak, neither seeing nor hearing, but living as a dead thing. Until all lines separating himself from the demon within began to fade, and he could barely tell where Kyuubi ended and he began.
Thus, when the last of the world had turned its eye from him, Naruto sought the ends of the earth.
He brought neither food nor comfort, having no need of either, and left in the total security of broad daylight.
Jiraiya, busy in his own dilemmas, notices the loss but does not follow. He looks for Naruto in the bottom of his glass. But never finds him.
