So there's this song, by an amazing guy called Josh Groban and I had it on repeat while painting this pic, and it's called 'You are loved' and it became the title of the image. It's also become my Kushina and Naruto song.
Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
When your heart's heavy
I will lift it for you
Don't give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you
I will break it for you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well, I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved
The song is on youtube
here. But for anyone who wants to download it, I've put it up
here. And the close up.
This wasn't meant to be a tribute to chapter 500 but after reading it I was driven to finish this up today. I think Kushina is amazing and I wish we could see more of her. I love the connection she and Naruto have. Chapter 500 left me a little heartbroken and we haven't even seen her die yet. I find the concept of a parent's joy with their newborn child being stolen away just heart wrenching. ... even if it is fictional. :P
So, this is a 'if Kushina had lived' image. ♥
