I Alone Am The Exception!

[PART 2/NARUTO] Chapter 3: A Beautiful Night {Haku Arc}

A/N: Alright, so here we are, beginning Haku's Arc of the story. Haku's Arc will probably be around… 5ish Chapters. Maybe less. But this Arc will be in her perspective and show how she feels and acts. Mind you, characters like Sasuke, Hinata, Itachi, Mikoto, Inari, and Naruto's wives will all be included in this.

And, unlike in canon, I will drop hints here and there of which Otsutsuki, how many, and their abilities. Because, with our boy’s vast array of abilities, there must be godlike beings with haxes that can nullify, override, or bypass his abilities to some extent. Infinity isn't as impenetrable as it might seem, since we saw Gojo sink into shadows when Mahoraga appeared and with Domain Expansion and Domain Amplification, it can still get bypassed through other means too. Also, despite Naruto now having the power to revive the dead via his Rinnegan, doesn't mean that ability can't be… cut off.

Most of these Otsutsuki will obviously be OCs, or my own creation, since the ones we've seen so far don't really have tools that would be able to up the stakes or cause permanent deaths like I intend. These guys will either be overpowered or haxed like hell. Throughout these chapters, try to spot the breadcrumbs I'll be leaving behind for each one. I'll leave you a hint as to one of them. They can manipulate space.

Also, Haku isn't the only one dying here. She won't be the first, nor will she be the last. Like I said in Part 1, this Part will be much darker and delve deeper into the emotional bonds and connections that Naruto has formed, and how painful it is to have some of them ripped away from you without any chances of stopping it. Also… with the hint of the gods and other creatures from Greek myth being involved, I could only wonder if maybe some other gods or pantheons might step in… hmm… Food for thought.

Anyways, that's all. Enjoy!

I smiled up at Naruto as I pulled him along with me to my house.

He looks so… vulnerable. I've never seen my love so broken and vulnerable before… I thought as I looked up at him, his eyes covered by the new band he wore that covered his eyes.

He was dragging his feet and was barely paying attention to our surroundings even when others came up to him to give their greetings or tried to give him presents.

“Sorry, he’s not feeling well today. Um… if you want to give him gifts, we'll take them tomorrow or a few days later. He's… really tired.” I would say.

It touched my heart that my love, my lord, cared so much for me even if we weren't as close as he was with Hinata.

Speaking of…

Hinata hugged me tightly as she barely whispered loud enough for my enhanced senses to pick up on her words,

“Take Naruto back home with you. Help him. Even if you have to ‘get dirty’ with him. He needs you right now.”

I frowned at that. I know that Hinata told me it was ok but… I looked up at the soulless and vulnerable form of the man I had decided to give my heart to.

I shook my head as we held hands, leading him to my small home, It doesn't matter. I'll make sure my love snaps back to feet. Even if I have to sleep with him to do so.

…

“Um… My love, do you want some water?” I asked as I set him on my bed.

He sat there, his head hung as he kept mumbling incoherently.

I felt my lip quiver, It hurts me. It hurts more than any beating or injury or cruelty I've ever suffered. To see you, my love, so broken and vulnerable. So decrepit and sad and… Tears began rolling down my eyes as I slowly opened my mouth, “M… My love… Do… Do you perhaps… Want any food?”
