Legacy [ Naruto Reader-Insert ]

011350. Leader of the Intel Black Ops Squad. Cipher 34 to Cipher 41 [Classified]

[The last sentence is smudged to the point of it being unintelligible. More spots that look like water damage]

I don't think he'd appreciate us talking about him behind his back like this but I do appreciate that you care for him a lot. It's starting to make a lot of sense now that he willingly gave up being seeded into the regular Shinobi Corps to join us. Long missions away? Not knowing when he'll be back? Being entrenched in enemy territory for an indefinite amount of time? Also asking for sleepovers isn't childish, okay? Me and my girls have sleepovers all the time.

You can say that you're worried because you care about him, y'know? Nobody's going to judge you here. It's just me and you with access to these ciphers.

PS. Only if we invite Yawaraka too. I'm sure he'd appreciate the company (and being away from home). We'll always have a chance for another date when we get back from our mission.

Cipher 36 

[Hastily written. Handwriting resembles chicken scratch]

You're right. It isn't childish. Thanks for not judging me. I love you, you're the best. Have I mentioned you're the light to my shadow? The sun to my moon?

(Romantic enough for you?)

Damn, being the squad leader doesn't mean I'm magically more observant than before. How did you notice all of this? Don't say that you can smell his emotions because you're an Inuzuka.

PS. Fine, invite him too. Just don't jump in front of me to intercept incoming projectiles again, especially of the long and sharp kind. I'll bring all of us back home alive and uninjured this time.

K28

[Mostly unintelligible. Water damage. A lot of water damage. The only thing that can be deciphered is the last line]

PS. I sealed a necklace into the note. My canines fell out. It's a clan thing where we make them into protective charms to give to our partner. I'm not that into tradition but I wanted people to know that you're mine.

Cipher 39

[It's neat and well preserved, found in an unsealed envelope between the pages of a thick, black journal]

I'm writing this as you're lying down on the hospital bed, eyes closed, sickly skin. Lips blue from the fucking blow you took for me. I fucking hate how you keep jumping in front of me. With no hesitation. You were supposed to not do that again. Why? Why?! No. I'm not angry. I'm just, disappointed at myself. I could have flung you away with my shadow. I could have done a lot more things than just standing there and watching you jump in front of me in fucking slow motion. Never again. I'm taking the blow for you the next time.

PS. Aoi and Aika refuse to leave your room. If [unintelligible symbols due to water damage] I'll adopt them. Let's hope it doesn't happen. I love you.

PPS. You were right about Yawa. All of it. One time you flexed on me, huh? I'll take it.
