Breathe In the Rain
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, but I do own Kumo Dokusatsu,
Kumo Dokusatsu- A poisoning cloud.
I was destined to kill my village,
Until the Hokage sent me away from the village to save it from death.
I was the ominous cloud hanging over his village and he saw it the best for both.
I would no longer be surrounded by people who feared me,
Hated me,
Blamed me.
I don't see why they should.
I mean, I'm the twin to Naruto.
I'm just as hyper and obnoxious...
Why should I be called a monster?

I took a deep breath in before smiling at the empty room of mine, before turning to the window where the rain was pouring down harshly my window pane.
"So... this is... goodbye?" Naruto mumbled, rubbing his arm and looking at me with a arched brow.
"For now, I'll be back every summer for 2 weeks... the Hokage promised me that much" I whispered, choking down the tears as I turned to the blond haired, blue haired, boy who was crying while looking at me.
When we were 6, we met.
Well technically he was 8.
I was punched into a corner in the classroom and was weeping, until I found a bunch on blond hair in front of me.
He smiled at me, and turned around, motioning for me to climb on his back.
I cried into the bright blond hair of his, grabbing his shoulders and letting him carry me to his apartment.
That night, when I slept in his bed, while he slept on a pallet on the floor, we became best friends.
Soon it was me saving him.
I grabbed his shoulders and pulled him into a large bear hug, rubbing his back.
He was 14 and I was 12 (it was 3 days before my birthday when he found me). October 29th, remember that, my Birthday.
"I love you Naruto, you're my un-blood related brother, and I'll never forget you" I whispered in his ear, grabbing his brilliant blond hair and brushing my fingers threw it.
"I'm going to miss you, so much!" Naruto wept, pulling me into a tight embrace before letting me go.
I smiled at him, winking at him with my bag on my back and my hair pulled up into pigtails.
"I need this Naruto, I need to get away from here, and I need a change" I whispered, grabbing his hand before slowly letting go and walking from my room.
I felt him fall to the floor and watch me leave from his knees.
I couldn't cry,
I knew if I did, he would die inside.
I sniffed, rolling my shoulders back and walking into the down pour,
Gai stood by the gate, waiting for me.
"It's sad I will never get to teach you" He whispered.
I was going to be his student until the Hokage booted me from the village.
"I'm nothing special, trust me" I laughed, glad it was raining because I was crying.
"Ready to go sensei!" Cried his bright, yet poor student.
"Alright"
I sighed before smiling at the boy with the bowl cut and random braid.
"I'll race you" I laughed, winking at him.
He blushed before smiling brilliantly and nodding.
"GO!" I shouted, bolting off into the rain.
Running was all I was good for.
"Hey!" He joked, running after me.
I could hear his feet slapping against the mud behind me.
The splatter of the rain against my head,
the hollow feeling that was clawing at my chest.
A broken heart, I was barely breathing.
"Where are we going?" The boy cried.
"I'm moving to the place where it doesn't rain, where the air is so hot it burns on touch..." I stopped talking; trying not to loose concentration on running at the speed he can catch up with me.
"That doesn't make any sense" he chuckled, getting closer.
His feet were smacking against the ground harder, faster then I could keep going at this speed, I had to kick it up a notch.
I lived for the feel of wind against my wind,
Breathing in the air and the feel of my legs racing, the feel of my feet against the ground.
"It wasn't supposed to... I moving to a place where no one knows what a poisoned cloud means" I finished it with a whisper.
I clenched my fists and stopped short, closing my eyes, and biting my lips till they hurt.
"I'm sorry..."He whispered, panting as he caught up to me.
"No, don't be... it's for the good of the village, isn't that was ninja's do... give up everything for the village?"
