Chapter 18: Chapter 19: Lite 4
Ending a life in this world was too easy, but that doesn't mean it causes less pain. When it comes to a loved one, it doesn't matter if your hands are full of blood, it's impossible for them not to feel anything.
The words of that supposed Lite left everyone quite confused and shocked. None could understand why someone would ask that they end their own life.
Kokoe especially, was about to explode at this person, in fact, if it wasn't for Kushina holding her back, she would have already lashed out furiously.
Minutes passed as they tried to calm Kokoe down, and it was only when Kushina and Minato came together to stop her that she didn't move anymore.
— We cannot end an infant just because you tell us to, we are no longer in wartime and the only ones who do that kind of thing are sick people who cannot be saved. (Minato)
— I don't think you understood me, I said it for the good of this little one.
— …We will listen to you first. (Minato)
The man took deep breaths to calm down, closed his eyes for a moment and when he felt ready, he opened them.
— Instead of saying it, I'd better show you.
With a wave of his hand, everything around them changed.
— This is my life.
And with those words, things neither of them had ever experienced were shown to them. In front of them passed the life of the man called Lite.
He was born when the war was about to end and the dark age began. He watched as his mother was forced into prostitution in order to get a little food.
— Up to here was what the little one knows, the following is what I sealed and he is remembering at the moment.
Little Lite, innocent of the world, was left in the care of those who believed they owned everything. There was no other place, it was a cruel time in which everyone suffered equally and only those who had more could afford luxuries.
Unfortunately, her mother's efforts were in vain. These were times when a woman's body was cheap, as there were simply too many of them offering themselves to survive. In these circumstances, the pleasures went from the conventional to the sick, falling more and more into dark pits, the same ones that blurred the difference between a human and a beast.
Lite was a pretty good-looking boy, and he had the bad luck to cross paths with those guys who couldn't be called human anymore.
For his young age, he had seen enough death and desolation, so much so that he believed that this was how the world always was, a place without hope. And his vision of it was only going to get worse.
Minato, Kushina and Kokoe watched, horrified, how the little boy didn't stay without doing anything while they took their mother to torment her.
The first time, a man of power in the city where he lived made him his toy for hours and hours. His screams and laments did not reach anyone's ears, fear, shame, disgust, wondering over and over again where was the figure of that woman who always protected him and now had left him in this place. When he finished, the monsters weren't content with physically tormenting him. They took him to the place where his mother was and showed him the things that made her do. However, these guys couldn't be called monsters if they were that simple. The little boy could detect that the treatment she received did not compare to what he had been through until just a moment ago, but even so he could see the tears on her face through a glass.
Then the days passed, the non-humans got more power and the society gradually recovered, unfortunately, the light did not reach everywhere equally, and in some cases, it only made the shadows darker.
They lived in a much more advanced time with incredible technologies, many of them medical, however, things that can do good to some, in the wrong hands, will only bring misfortune to others.
It didn't take long for the guys to get bored of Lite's mom and let her loose. There was no cruelty in their actions, just a lack of interest in something that does not give them anymore pleasure. They got what they wanted and they were even lazy to get rid of what was left, because they were powerful, because there was nothing that could move them from their position, taht was their arrogance.
Unfortunately, the little one was someone who still provided interest. The medical teams arrived, and the torments worsened, now with much less regard for his well-being, after all, with what they had, they could repair him in no time.
Lite's mother began to work on different things and although on many occasions she tried to go with her son to another place, it was simply impossible to get out of that jail without anyone finding out.
Lite, compared to his mother, was someone who understood that there was nowhere to go, or maybe it was his small mind that gave in to his fate. He was never characterized as a lively boy, so when he began to behave differently, his mother did not notice anything. Even in the days before the war there were many sick people who got away with it because the kids did not want to say anything, much worse when they were in a world as gray as it is now.
The little one's reason for not saying anything was as simple as fear, that his torture would get worse, that they would do something to his mother, whatever, he was simply afraid.
As he grew older, he realized that maybe things weren't so bad before, because now that society was improving, even a little, and order was returning. The guys who had taken over his life had a reputation to uphold and it was no longer enough to just throw money here and there. However, asking beasts to behave like humans was certainly impossible, they will not change, they will not regret it, they will only hide and lie in wait.
Lite was growing up and suffering, increasingly sadistic and more violent, they did not stop. Some broken arms, maybe some teeth fell out, some kicks, broken ribs, humiliation, nothing stopped them, there was no limit. He won't forget the first time he was cut, always a prisoner. He didn't complain, he had already learned that this would only excite them more, that was their pleasure. As long as they "repaired" him, there would be no problem.
He was growing up more and more, learning to move between that turbulent situation, enduring everything by himself so that the person most important to him is not harmed. He knew that the only reason they hadn't bothered to do anything with her was because of them thinking that they were untouchable, but when they started hiding, they couldn't do that kind of thing so openly anymore. He knew, if he didn't control himself, if he did anything out of character to get in their way, then hell was in store for him.
Those were the childhood years of a boy in a forgotten world. All of that passed through the eyes of Minato, Kushina, and Inoichi. They, people who were at the top, who believed themselves to have gone through many trials and obtained an iron will, were simply speechless.
The most affected was Kokoe. Although Lite made an effort to censor the worst parts, especially for her, she couldn't help that her reaction was the biggest. She simply could not understand how it was possible that there are beings that are capable of such atrocities.
— This… what is this? (Kushina)
— …Our past.
— My son… (Kokoe)
Kokoe was a simple woman, but not a stupid one, she immediately understood what was happening.
— When I was reborn in this world, I was already tired of carrying so many things. What I showed you so far was my childhood. I left out a lot of things, but things never ended, even when I got more power and put those…guys in their place, giving them back for each and everything they did to us, things didn't end. I was strong, it's what I wanted to believe, but the people around me were not. And I had to see how each and every one of them fell in front of my eyes, without being able to do anything...
He spoke with a lonely tone, making his listeners believe that he had given up, and maybe they weren't wrong.
— I already knew that I had died, this was a new life, but his condition was extremely precarious for being born into a doomed clan. Minato, perhaps you have tried to fix things with the Uchiha, unfortunately, due to our meddling you couldn't do much for the short time you were in office. Although perhaps it is better this way, otherwise you would have died.
— …
— But hey, let's get back to the topic. As I told you, these are my experiences, and I shared them with you, but the little one is not a third party in this matter. He is literally me, and because of that, he does not see it as something foreign, but as something that really happened to him. And in the tragedy a few days ago, seeing one of his friends he used to play with die before his eyes made what I was trying to suppress come loose.
— But Tsunade had taken it upon herself to evacuate them! (Kushina)
— Yes, but accidents always happen. And don't even mention the village statements, we already know how reliable they are. What made the little boy react the way he did were the memories, the same ones that I just showed you, arising uncontrollably in his mind.
— No… (Kokoe)
At that moment, Kokoe's world was breaking apart. She had seen, briefly, how unspeakable things were perpetrated. She did not want, she could not imagine, that her dear son is absorbing all these things. It was painful, suffocating, and his chest couldn't stand the pounding of his heart, which seemed to want to escape; she was spinning around, everything was black but still, it seemed to her that the earth and the sky were moving in different directions. She felt like falling into the sky, her mind was just about to close before the truth she was finding out, for her to say or do anything at this moment lost all meaning, her mind was just empty.
— The reason why he acted the way he did, what he did and his plans, you can ask yourself later if you want. I just wanted you to know what I showed you so you can decide whether to support this guy or not. If you can't, then it's better to end our life before it becomes miserable.
— …
— …
— …
— I'll give you a little time to think. I can't afford to wait forever, right now I'm trying to keep his consciousness from breaking apart, as well as infusing the last bits of my spirit into him to make him stronger. But that won't be enough at all, the only ones who can really influence him and his recovery are all ofyou, especially you, Kokoe. Even though I have separated my consciousness from him, it is impossible that I have not influenced him at all. That is where his hatred for the war comes from, but above all, it's his conviction to protect the smile of that woman who is capable of giving everything for him. That's why you, if you are not able to bear it, it will be the end.
Finishing saying those words, Lite increased his awareness to concentrate better on helping little Lite.
Meanwhile, the rest went out to the outside world.

Habemus new chapter!
Originally, I wanted to make it more explicit, however, i felt that if I did that, then this story would change to somethingI didn't wanted to. So, this is the result.
Honestly, I felt that I could have done better, but after 5 times writing and rewriting, this is the one I'm most satisfied with.
I little review with 5 stars would be nice. :D
