    Summary

    They lost the war.

    The bodies just continued to drop, one after another. It seemed endless, a crushing weight that just continued to fall. Surrounded by nothing and yet everything—the rotting corpses of friends and family, the smell and sound of war.

    The screams of the lost and broken.

    In an attempt to hide away until he succumbed to his wounds, Iruka Umino discovered a great secret beneath the tunnels of Konohagakure. A seal with a promise to good to believe; a seal that could turn back time.

    At this point? He was willing to try anything.

    Summary

    No child should cry silently. It means they know no one is coming to help them.

    “Umino Iruka.”

    “Hmm?”

    “My name,” the Chuunin’s cheeks were pinked, his mouth crooked to the side. “I apologize for taking him without any warning, but I was just – I delivered paperwork for Sandaime-sama, the other week, and I found him crying.” He hugged Naruto, setting the book down. “There were no aides around, no staff members on hand, and he was crying silently.” Umino turned his head, his eyes closing as he pressed his mouth to Naruto’s temple. It was soft and fond, parental, and Kakashi’s heart thudded. “Children do not cry silently unless they know there is no attention coming, Hatake-san.”

    He had done that, once upon a time. After his father’s burial, when there had been no one to hear him. No one to listen.
