Pain That Never Dies

A Naruto Uzumaki Fanfiction

By thenarutofanfreak22

Author Notes and Comments:

Hi Guys, Welcome to my Fifth Fanfiction That I've decided to write for your entertainment. This is a sad, and I do mean very sad emotional story I've decided to do about Naruto Uzumaki. I've come to realize, I know this may seem stupid sounding, but for some reason, me and Naruto share a similar pain almost. I was also shunned as a child, never had any real friends and all, also I was abused as a child, physically and emotionally. So I kind of can feel for Naruto in a way.

I believe this is a way for me to put the emotions I have been feeling as of lately, and give it a focus and an outlet, by writing this story. Okay lets see, characters in this story, Naruto of course, Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke, oh yes two of my own creations of course(character that Naruto will end up with in the end of this story. Her name is Kushina Yoshida, and Hato Kigamaru who I introduced in My Goddess and Angel and will be debuting along with Choji in her very own Fanfic, Tears of a Dove) and possibly a few others will pop in every so often in the story.

The Rating for this story is M, for a lot of violence, abuse and bad language, as well as possible lemons and sexual content as well as a happy lemon ending for Naruto and Kushina (yeah I know her name is the name of Naruto's mommy for those of you who've read Shippuuden).

Brief Overview of the Story: Naruto has for years put up with the name calling, the abuse that the entire Leaf Village has done to him, in the hopes that one day, they would accept him. But he then finds out the fact that after all these years of being on Team 7, his team mates and even his sensei never gave a damn about him. This fact, sends Naruto over the edge, and makes him decide to abandon the Leaf Village forever, seeing he knows now, that he'll never find love anywhere. After finding out of Naruto's abandonment, Tsunade sends a few teams of ANBU and even his own team out to find him, and to find out why he did this. Will Naruto ever really get over the pain in his aching heart before it's too late?

So Please Read and Review nicely, fire bombs or rude comments will not be acceptable. Please also enjoy this story. And a way we go…..

Chapter One: Realization

Naruto had always thought his team, and those around him had cared about him all these years. Naruto had thought wrong, dead wrong when that day came. Naruto was now 18 years old, and it was 3 years since Sasuke had returned to the village with him, badly beaten of course, after killing his brother Itachi Uchiha.

Naruto opened his azure blue eyes to peer up at the ceiling of his tiny apartment; the sunlight was peeking in through the blinds as he let out a yawn. He had a restful slumber the night before, and suddenly he realized today was the day he would tell Sakura-Chan his true feelings, he figured after all these years, today was a good enough day to tell her that he loved her.

"YATTA!" Naruto shouted out happily as he quickly sat up in his bed, and kicked off the covers of his bed with one foot as he practically jumped out of bed. Removing his cute night cap, and the rest of his clothing, revealing his muscled chest and stomach. Naruto was a full adult now, the years of training to be a shinobi, had left many scars as well as made him well toned.

Quickly Naruto hopped into the shower, to clean himself up, which took 15 minutes. He threw on a black t-shirt, a clean pair of orange slacks and his usual favourite black and orange jacket. He then peered down at the necklace that was around his neck; Old Lady Tsunade had given him during his Genin days.

Naruto was now a Jounin ranked ninja, along with Sakura, Sasuke, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Sai, and the rest of the gang as well. Though Neji and his team, when Tenten and Lee had become Jounin, had all become ANBU probably as soon as the two did. Naruto then placed his Jounin vest over his orange and black jacket, combed his blonde spiked hair and quickly grabbed something to eat before running out the door of his apartment and locking up.

Naruto then adjusted his head band around his forehead, having left it in a pocket of his Jounin vest and mumbling, "Alright today is the big day…where I…Uzumaki Naruto finally tell Sakura, the girl of my dreams how much I really love her!"

He then quickly raced into the village to find Sakura. Little did he know when he finally found her that his heart would break into very tiny little pieces at the sight he saw before him, 30 minutes after searching for her. He had went to their usual training grounds, that the rest of his team always met up at, just for the fun of training, even though they were all Jounin now, and had their own things to do. Sakura having her own squad of Genin to teach, while Sasuke was attempting to start up a police force in Konohagakure with the help of a few members of the Hyuuga, Inuzuka and another clan known as the Kigamaru Clans.

Naruto's ears perked up when he heard a strange sound coming from the training ground, it sound like someone was either crying or moaning in pain. Naruto growled softly as he quickly drew a kunai blade, ready to strike the person down whoever was causing the person pain, because he had also recognized who it was making those noises. It was Sakura.

Naruto was about to jump out and yell at the person causing Sakura pain to get the hell off her or whatever, when he saw who it was with her, and that the person wasn't causing her pain, more like pleasure. Sasuke Uchiha. Naruto gawked as he saw Sakura totally nude and pushed up against a tree trunk, deeply in the throes of getting it really good by Sasuke, who apparently was still wearing his shirt, but no pants at this very moment.

Tears sprang into Naruto's eyes as he watched. After all this time…he thought that Sakura had feelings for him. He felt used, all that time he had spent trying to save Sasuke from himself, was all for really her benefit. He suddenly heard Sakura cry out, "Oh god! Don't stop Sasuke! Please don't stop!!" He then heard Sasuke mutter something to her as they continued their lovemaking session.

Something in his chest started to throb. Naruto looked down at the ground as the tears poured down his whiskered cheeks. He had to get out of there, before they caught him. Clenching his chest with a hand he quickly took off. The tears continued pouring down his reddened cheeks. He was in pain, so much pain now.

He would have to make an excuse to Sasuke and Sakura later, why he hadn't shown up for training; maybe he could just say he hadn't been feeling well. He had a feeling today would be much worse then walking in on two of his best friends, one of them that he had loved deeply all these years, having sex with each other.

Now he knew, now he knew that no one would love him, after what he had seen today. Suddenly he ran into Shikamaru and Choji, who were talking to each other down the path, Shikamaru almost shouted in annoyance, when Naruto accidentally knocked down the 18 year old, who was happily married to apparently Gaara's older sister, Temari.

"Watch where you're going! God you idiot…" said Shikamaru as he rubbed the area that had begun to hurt after falling on his backside from being knocked over. Naruto looked up at Shikamaru sadly and said as he got to his feet, "Sorry…forgive me…" He then without another word continued running off, past the two of them.

Shikamaru blinked, why was Naruto crying right now? He never did that before, "Man…what a drag…I bet you anything, Naruto just saw Sasuke and Sakura having one of their sessions again…" Choji looked sort of concernedly towards Naruto's retreating back, shaking his red haired head as he munched on a few chips as he spoke,

"Poor Naruto…he told me he wanted to confess his feelings to Sakura the other day, and today I think was the day he was going to do it…"

Shikamaru looked at Choji after getting back to his feet without any help, and shook his head, and stared up at the clouds, "Man…this can't get any worse, anyway you should be worrying about your pregnant wife, Hato right now Choji…Naruto will get over it, he always does…just look at him, he went through 12 years of suffering at the abuse of this village...after all.." Shikamaru and Choji along with the rest of the Konoha 11 had found out why all these years Naruto always seemed to have all this excess chakra inside of him.

Choji shrugged, "I don't think he will pull through this, this time, I mean he loved Sakura a lot it was pretty obvious during the time Akatsuki was still around, he would go over the edge just to help bring Sasuke back to make her happy…but now look at him. Anyway Hato's fine, lately she's been having a lot of cravings for weird foods that she normally doesn't eat."

Shikamaru nodded and then even though he didn't care, he himself was already a father of a little girl and a boy, who were 2 years old now, Temari had blessed him with fraternal twins, had asked him, "How long until the exciting day?"

"She told me 2 more months until the little one is ready to pop out, I'm excited to be a dad as she is to be a mom…"

Shikamaru awarded his best friend a lazy grin and patted his shoulder, "I'm happy for you…man," He then muttered, "Naruto I hope you do pull out of this one, I'd hate to see what would happen to you…if you finally just snapped…"

Naruto slumped against a wall, clutching his aching chest, he had found out the ache in his chest, was really his heart that he felt had shattered into many tiny pieces after seeing Sasuke and Sakura together the way he had seen.

No one was left, he had no one left it seemed, that would love him. Gobs of tears continued to pour down the Kyuubi container's cheeks, why couldn't he stop crying? It was normal, sooner or later Sakura would end up with Sasuke, and it was Fate's cruel way of telling him, that he was never meant to be loved, only to face pain and tragic suffering, right?

Suddenly a soft voice spoke up, "Naruto-Kun…what is the matter?" (No guys its not Hinata-Chan hehehehe, it's actually Hato Kigamaru)

Naruto had thought the voice was coming from Hinata, but as soon as his azure blue eyes turned, they were met with violet colored ones. It was his new best friend Hato Kigamaru, standing there, dressed in what looked to be in a ninja maternity dark navy blue top that left her back exposed, and navy blue pants. Her stomach was 7 months swollen with child, that much could be seen as Naruto looked at the raven haired girl before finally speaking,

"Hato-Chan shouldn't you be at home? I mean Choji will have a fit and all…" He was trying to hide his pain even from the Kigamaru, who he had faced in his second time Chuunin exam, a woman that he would have probably ended up with, if he hadn't hurt her emotionally and physically during his second time doing the Chunin Exams. She had been pretty fierce kunoichi back then, and probably still was. She had revealed to him that she was the possessor of a rare and special Kekkei Genkai, said to put the Uchiha Clan's affinity for Fire Jutsus to shame, which had peeked Sasuke's interest, when he had returned to Konohagakure, into the fact he had wanted to challenge the Kigamaru to a small sparring match, which ended in Hato's small victory, due to the fact that Sasuke was more of a lightning user now, then he was a fire user.

And also the fact that Hato's Kekkei Genkai had a special mirror reflection jutsu added to the dojutsu's many unique traits, which even Sharingan could not get through in order to copy Hato's fire jutsus. Another thing to add to this, was the fact, it was believed that Hato's Clan Kekkei Genkai was a cross between the Hyuuga Byakugan and the Uchiha Sharingan, in the case of the mirror reflection jutsu, and the fact Hato could see through walls and certain objects to detect heat signatures of enemy ninja. (The mirror reflection part came from the Sharingan and the looking through objects and walls came from Byakugan basically) (This shall all be clarified in the next fanfiction I will be writing).

Hato had a small frown on her pale lips as she could read his emotions through his eyes. The fire using Princess was not stupid, she knew he was in pain, after all she had become his best friend, and that was how she sort of had met her husband as well. A hand was placed upon her swollen belly as she spoke,

"Naruto-Kun I know you better then that, I'm sure your friends know you better then that, you can talk to me you know…I am your best friend, at least one of them I hope…" She watched him intently with those violet eyes that looked oh so similar to the Hyuuga Clan eyes that Naruto had seen and faced off against when he was 12 years old.

Naruto tried to give her a fake smile, but knew inside he wasn't really smiling, he then spoke as he pointed a thumb to her belly,

"So how's Choji taking the news that he's going to be a dad soon?" He was attempting to change the subject. Knowing full well, Hato was probably not buying this sudden change in subject.

Hato sighed and then smiled, "He's taking it quite well, it won't be long now, 2 months Tsunade-sama said before there'll be a little Choji running around…" She giggled after this. Who would have thought that the 16 year old Hato, would end up being Choji's one and only true love in the end. The girl had been 13 years old when Naruto had gone up against the Fire using Genius, who had freaked Naruto out with her affinity for summoning foxes as well as being able to use one of Sasuke's own fire jutsus on him, as well as her skills in Kenjutsu (Art of Swordsmanship).

Naruto chuckled as best as he could, he was happy Hato was happy, the girl was beautiful and Naruto knew she had a good heart, she hadn't cared if Choji had been a fat ass or not, what counted was that Choji and her were in love, and had even, as soon as Hato was the age of consent (which apparently is 15, don't quote me on this) and with her parent's permission, had got married to Choji, right after the Akatsuki had all been wiped out, and apparently after the birth of Temari's and Shikamaru's twin children as well.

Naruto then spoke up, "Hey is the little guy kicking in there right now?" He always loved to be able to touch Hato's stomach, ever since she and Choji had told him, that Hato was pregnant with Choji's child.

Hato then felt with her hand, "Yes…right where my hand is right now…" She grabbed Naruto's hand and placed it on the area her hand had just been on. Naruto grinned when he felt the child inside of her growing stomach, kick its mother pretty damn hard.

"Whoa…he's definitely going to be like his mother…real feisty one, I hope he don't turn into a fat ass like his dad…ttebyo!" "OW!"

Hato had swatted him upside the head for the comment about her husband being fat, "He is not fat…he's big boned, and lately he's been losing weight which is pretty good…considering…" Said a slightly angered and overly hormonal Hato, who looked ready to punch Naruto out if he said anything demeaning about her beloved one again.

Naruto inched away from her slightly, scared from the look Hato was giving him. If it was one thing, Naruto did not want to do, was piss off the Fire Princess in front of him, especially when she was also overly hormonal at this crucial time in her pregnancy.

"Aiee…Gomen Nasai Hato-Chan…I meant that only as a joke…" He gave her; a silly yet frightened look to her. Hato's feature's softened when he apologized, "Apology accepted, Naruto-Kun…"

Hato then looked around and saw her husband was coming her way, "Naruto-Kun…there's something I wanted to ask you…but I guess it could wait…until I have more time, but Choji and I wanted to ask you, if you would like to be the godfather of our child, I know you aren't with anyone…right now, but we really would like for you to be our baby's godfather…if you want to only though…"

Naruto was shocked at such an honour. Knowing Sasuke though, if he had been around, he would make fun of Naruto, saying Naruto would be incapable and a lousy Godfather and all. Naruto felt a stab at his heart when he thought about this morbidly; he had to remember why he was upset and why Hato had stopped him in the first place.

"I'd have to think about it first Hato-Chan, you sure you wouldn't want to ask Kiba and Hinata-Chan, I mean they are much better at this stuff then me, look at them they got three kids already and another one on the way too? You and they are close, ever since you fought off that Grass Ninja who blinded Hinata-Chan and almost killed Kiba…"

Hato shook her head, "No…I rather you be my baby's godfather, Naruto-Kun…they are spoiled people already, this is my first baby and I would rather it grow up knowing he or she has a great Godfather who will one day be the next Hokage…" She smiled at him. She had a funny feeling, the reason Naruto-Kun was acting like this, was because he had discovered Sakura-Chan and Sasuke-San were doing each other at last. She and a few others had accidentally spied on the two lovebirds making out a few weeks back. Her heart ached to comfort Naruto-Kun, right now; he was her best friend after all.

Naruto then shrugged, "Okay I guess I could be the godfather then, hehehehe, after all if I do become Hokage, the little guy's gonna have someone to look up to and all…" He was attempting to be slightly funny as well as show that he was still attempting to achieve his goal, even if his heart was still broken right now.

Suddenly a voice spoke up, "HEY DOBE!"

Naruto grumbled as he quickly said, "I better go Hato-Chan tell Choji I said hi and take care of yourself, I've got to go head to the Missions Office right now." With that he quickly took off at a quick paced walk, not wishing to speak to the one who had called him Dobe. Knowing full well if he did talk to him, someone was going to definitely get hurt.

Hato was biting her lip as she heard Sasuke-San shout out, and saw Naruto take off the way he did. Something was definitely upsetting Naruto-Kun. Wincing slightly as she felt her baby kicking her she turned towards the Raven haired Uchiha Prodigy and glared at him for a moment, as she spoke,

"Sasuke Uchiha…bane of this Village…and of a certain someone's sanity it seems…" "Why do you insist on calling Naruto-Kun a dobe? He's not a dobe at all anymore…he's changed a lot ever since he saved your sorry excuse of a hide…" She then poked the Uchiha in the chest. This had startled the Uchiha man.

"Hato I don't have time for this, Naruto was supposed to be at a training session with me and Sakura 45 minutes ago, and I saw him with you just a moment ago…' Said Sasuke, slight worry on his features.

"Well maybe he doesn't want to talk to you right now, maybe you and Sakura-Chan should be more careful where you have sex more often. Apparently someone, has become quite hurt from seeing such a sight as that…" She huffed at the Uchiha as she started waddling off towards her husband, having said her part in what she now understood, the reason for Naruto's sadness. Sakura had broken his heart…

This left Sasuke confused, and then suddenly shocked, "Oh no…damn…he must have seen us…" "Great…I better go find Sakura quickly and explain to her first before I go talk to Naruto…" Shaking his head, how could he have been so stupid as to let Sakura pull him into such a stupid idea as to fuck each other senseless in the middle of the training ground, knowing Naruto was undoubtedly going to meet them that morning?

He could imagine right now, how much pain he must be in right then and there.

"Damn…that stupid bitch…" He muttered as he continued running at a fast pace for Sakura's apartment, before 10 minutes later dragging Sakura out of her apartment and down the street in search of Naruto.

"So what…Sasuke-Kun…he would have found out eventually…" Whined the pink haired kunoichi, "Its not like I loved him, I only love you now Sasuke…"

Sasuke glared at Sakura, "You're a bitch you know that, did you not stop and think that Naruto probably has liked, and; no wait loved you since the academy?" Sasuke's attitude towards Naruto had changed since Naruto came to take him back to Konohagakure. He had found out also all those years, why Naruto had been so powerful during their Genin days, because of Kyuubi. Naruto was like his little brother, and he had selfishly taken Sakura from him.

Sakura pouted at him, "I don't care…I never cared about him, and neither should you Sasuke…he's always been a pest and so annoying…too…" Suddenly a voice spoke up from above them,

"That's…nice to hear Sakura…geez that makes me feel a whole lot better…ttebyo!"

Sasuke and Sakura both looked up to see Naruto standing above them in a tree, his arms crossed tightly against his chest and a pained expression on his face and in his blue eyes. Sasuke shook his head as he looked away in shame, he felt extremely bad about this now.

Sakura glared up at Naruto and said as she crossed her own arms against her chest, "Its true…Naruto, no one really cares about you in this village, Sasuke even said it to me, that he never cared about you…even though you did help bring him back…" "Why don't you grow up Naruto…nobody and I repeat no one gives two damns about you…"

Sasuke glared daggers at Sakura's harsh and cruel words to Naruto. He peered up slightly to see Naruto suddenly clench his chest with his hand, and a batch of new tears began to pour down his whiskered face. Sasuke flinched slightly, all the years of pain Sasuke could see in Naruto's eyes at that very moment.

Sakura then nudged Sasuke's arm, "Go ahead and tell him Sasuke, what you told me a few days ago…" "We hate him right…"

Sasuke chewed on the inside of his cheek, and looked down at the ground; he hated being pressured into things like this. If he didn't make Sakura happy, he would loose her, but if he did say cruel words to Naruto, he would loose the only friend that had cared enough to come after him, and risk dying for him as well. Friendship and love go hand in hand it seemed. 'Sorry Naruto…forgive me for this…'

Naruto watched through the tears and listened as he held back his sobs, when Sasuke spoke those cruel words to him, "Naruto…I hate you…I've always hated you, I think you are a stupid moronic fool, 'Believe It'…no girl would ever want to touch you, ever. No one cares about a moron like you, and they never will…"

Sasuke quickly looked away as he finished what he had said. Suddenly he heard the poofing sound of the Body Flickering Technique being used. He sighed, he had really sent Naruto over the edge and into total darkness now, when it came to his pain and sorrow.

Sakura giggled and said, "Good…at least he now got the hint that we don't care about him right Sasuke-Kun?" She then hugged Sasuke tightly to her. Sasuke felt withdrawn and suddenly he pushed her away, as he backed up,

"You're never happy until you've hurt someone you know…that Sakura, you're such a cold hearted bitch! I think I made the mistake of becoming your boyfriend, you went too damn far with Naruto, you don't realize how fragile he is at all, do you?! You know what, get out of my face, I don't want to see you for a few days at all, until you go and apologize to Naruto for your lameness…and until you do, I refuse to touch you…in anyway!!" Shouted Sasuke as he quickly stomped off angry at himself for hurting his best friend the way he had.

Sakura was left dumbfounded, standing there. Had she gone too far this time? Why was Sasuke all of a sudden protective of Naruto? Sasuke had truthfully told her one night that he hated Naruto, and was lucky that he had won her heart in the end. Why now? Sakura hadn't seen how pained Naruto was, nor had she cared. Perhaps now, now she had gone too far. Sasuke had seen Naruto's pain, and now he was mad at Sakura for sending Naruto over the edge. Sakura was so stupid, if Naruto was angry now, he probably would unleash Kyuubi on the village.

The first thing she had to do was go find Kakashi-sensei and warn him about Naruto and tell him what happened. Quickly she made a few handseals and disappeared within a wisp of swirling winds.

An animalistic shout could be heard somewhere in the Forest of Death. This had been where Naruto ended up, and this was where he planned to stay for awhile until he could control his tears and how much pain he was going through. He felt so cold now; nothing would warm him up anymore. His heart had been torn to shreds in a matter of hours; he knew there was nothing left Nor a reason for him to even exist.

'You know…that was extremely cruel of them Kit…to tell you after all those times you tried to save Sasuke and even her when she was in danger, that they hate you…They had no right to say those words…what would they know of love?' Spoke a very familiar voice inside of Naruto's head.

'Shut up Fox, I don't want to talk to you, ever again, your the reason everyone hates me in the first place…now I know that I'll never find love…and I doubt I'll ever become Hokage now, they were always holding me back…always….'

Suddenly Naruto collapsed right then and there onto the tree branch. The pain in his heart and the excessive crying had worn him out, also the fact there was a counter measure that activated when Naruto was feeling too many emotions at once, his body would immediately shut down at the overflow of emotions.

The fox sighed inside of Naruto, and shook its head, the poor boy, had collapsed from exhaustion, the fox had become more affectionate towards his container over the years. He had seen through Naruto's eyes, what Sasuke and Sakura had done.

He had also seen Hato try to be kind to him, but he knew the girl was only trying to make him feel worse about his troubled love life. He knew since the day Naruto had met Sakura, that girl would be the death of him.

'I best try to revive him, he'll only end up getting eaten by one of those giant snakes or something worse…that boy better not try and hurt himself…now that no one else seems to care about him…' Said the fox to himself.

The fox then attempted to awaken him, by injecting some of its chakra into Naruto's collapsed and cold body now, but to no avail. The fox grunted, knowing full well it would be awhile before someone actually found him. Hopefully he wouldn't get killed while lying here.

Kakashi was angered that he had to go search the entire village for Naruto now, he had finally got a date with Kurenai, after Asuma died and left her pregnant and all, and now he had to go find a suicidal knuckleheaded ninja before he tried to kill himself or unleash Kyuubi's powers, over a stupid thing like this. He gave Sakura a cold gaze as the girl met up with her former sensei after searching for him for 30 minutes.

"I'm sorry Kakashi-sensei I didn't mean to bug you when you were out with Kurenai-sensei…it's just that…" Sakura was cut off when Kakashi spoke up, slightly annoyed, which was rare to see,

"Your lucky Kurenai and I both are forgiving people Sakura; this is your fault after all for sending Naruto into this depressed state, no telling what he would do now…you and Sasuke should have kept your big mouths shut…in all honesty."

Suddenly someone joined them as the person spoke, "Someone…thinks they saw Naruto-Kun going into the…um…Forest of Death…Kakashi-Sensei…Lee-san, Neji-Nii-san and Tenten-Chan are heading there now…" The voice coming from, sweet little Hinata (hehehehe thought it was Hato eh? LOL) A very worried look on her face, even though she was with Kiba now, she still had slight feelings for Naruto.

Kakashi had asked Hinata, Neji, Tenten and Rock Lee to help him out in finding Naruto, seeing Neji and the rest of his team were ANBU and were off duty, believed it would be alright for them to help in the search, after all Naruto was their friend. Hinata wanted to also help in the search, because she had figured her Byakugan would be a big help as well as Neji's.

"Alright…let's hurry this up, I would like to go back and salvage what's left of my date with Kurenai." Said Kakashi as he quickened his pace. Kakashi then turned to Sakura and said quietly enough not to alarm Hinata, "If Naruto some how kills himself or injures himself because of your words, I think I'll have a word with the Hokage about revoking you going on ninja missions for awhile or something more important of yours…"

Sakura gulped at this, she already had started to feel bad for Naruto being in so much pain. He loved her, she had figured it out. But Sasuke had got to her first, and confessed his love for Sakura; she should have told Sasuke to wait, in case Naruto had feelings for her. But no, same old Sakura just had to jump at the chance of finally being with the man she had always wanted to be with. Not even thinking of Naruto's feelings, and how much he really had loved her during all those times together.

Now she felt it might be too late to apologize to the blonde haired boy, he probably had indeed killed himself or done something just as bad.

As they reached the gate to the Forest of Death, all three Ninja were greeted by Rock Lee who immediately removed his ANBU mask, that was in the shape of what looked to be a Turtle of some kind, "Kakashi-San…Sakura-Chan, Hinata-Chan, Tenten and Neji have found Naruto-Kun, he's in pretty bad shape though…"

Kakashi's eyes widened and he immediately looked at Sakura for a moment before turning back to Lee and said, "Take us to his exact location…"

"Hai…Kakashi-San…" Lee saluted, placing his mask back onto his face, the 19 year old ANBU Officer quickly lead them to Naruto's location.

Tenten and Neji had told Lee to split up in the forest to search for Naruto after they had heard the rumour of Naruto being seen jumping over the fence and into the Forest of Death by an onlooker.

This had of course, allowed Neji and Tenten to have some a lone time together, seeing they hadn't had time as of late to do so. Neji had been hugging Tenten as they stopped to rest for a moment, Neji pulling up his Peregrine Falcon shaped ANBU mask to kiss Tenten on the lips when she pulled up her own Mask that was in the shape of a tiger or some form of cat. Tenten giggled and spoke as she kissed him back,

"Neji-Kun we are supposed to be looking for Naruto-Kun...Hai…I know you missed me a lot, seeing we've been so busy with our own missions and squads…Naruto-Kun could be in danger…"

Neji pouted slightly and began nibbling in a certain spot on Tenten's neck that drove her crazy with wanting him, whenever he licked, kissed or nibbled on that particular spot. The 19 year old Hyuuga Prodigy spoke in his soft voice,

"Awww please Heavenly, all I want to do is make out with you that is all. I'm sure Naruto's fine…" He then fiddled with the dial of his headset as he spoke into it,

"Falcon to Turtle come in…have you spot the target yet, over?" Tenten was blushing at Neji calling her, his cute nick name for her. She always adored it when he called her Heavenly seeing her name did mean that. Better then calling her Panda Chan like Lee always did.

"Turtle to Falcon, I haven't found him yet…how are things on your side…I'm going to head towards the gates, maybe he's there...over…" spoke Lee over the microphone, Tenten then shook her head and spoke into her own microphone to him,

"Clouded Leopard to Turtle…stick to the plan we gave you…the target isn't that far into the forest…over…don't' be an idiot..." "Falcon…check with your Byakugan to see if you can find him…" She said while having the microphone still on the on position.

Neji sighed and turned in a certain direction and began making handseals pretty fast,

"BYAKUGAN!" He called out as the veins near his temples began to pop out as his eyes reverted to Byakugan. Neji then quietly began to scan the area he and Tenten were in and immediately stopped when he spotted something,

"Falcon to Turtle, I repeat, Target has been found and is in bad shape, better go get Puppy right now, over…I repeat that again, Target has been found and in bad shape, we might need a medic ninja here too…Clouded Leopard and I will go find out his situation…go and get Puppy over…"

"Hai…Falcon I'm on my way now to retrieve Puppy…" said Lee over the microphone. Tenten frowned, "Naruto-Kun…what's wrong with him…" She asked Neji as she turned off her microphone. When they had referred to someone called Puppy, it had been Kakashi they were referring to, seeing Kakashi had once served the ANBU Black Ops at one point, and that had been his ANBU code name, seeing Kakashi had an affinity for summoning dogs and all.

Neji then said, "He's unconscious, and his chakra seems to be at dangerous low levels right now…the Kyuubi in him seems to have tried to inject its chakra into Naruto as well, I could see that red chakra's traces in his chakra pathways." "Come on lets move…he's probably been out here for 2 hours now, and it will be nightfall soon, it gets more dangerous in this forest at night then during the day…"

Tenten then quickly placed her mask back onto her face as she shouted, "HAI!" And with that they took off quickly towards where Naruto had been spotted lying on the tree branch.

6 minutes pass, and they both arrive. Tenten immediately getting onto her hands and knees beside Naruto and began to shake him gently into consciousness, which rewarded her with a moan escaping from Naruto's lips, "Let…Let me die…I don't deserve to live anymore…they hate me…they all do…"

"Naruto-Kun…" Said Tenten worriedly. She then looked up at Neji, who she could sense, seeing she couldn't see his face due to the mask he was wearing, she knew that he was worried about Naruto. The boy had changed Neji for the better; Neji was more caring of Tenten and even their goofy partner, Rock Lee now because of Naruto, as well as for those around him more then he had when he was younger.

Neji kneeled down beside Tenten and touched his shoulder, "Naruto…wake up…" He spoke, trying to be gentle with the boy. Someone had really done something to Naruto, for him to be in this state. Neji drew back his hand when he realized how cold Naruto was, to the touch, as if there was no warmth in his body, as if he was a dead cold body just laying there.

Naruto finally opened his blue eyes, to stare up at the two young ANBU officers. What the two of them saw shocked them deeply into their souls. The once bright light that shined in Naruto's eyes when he was happy was replaced by a dead look, as if there were no emotions or life left in his eyes. Tenten bit her lip as she spoke,

"Naruto-Kun…help is coming, we'll take you to the hospital…you had us all worried about you…"

Naruto just started laughing, an unemotional sarcastic laugh, "Ha…no one cares about me, they all said it…I'm a hopeless moronic fool…I'm something in the past that has to be erased from the face of the earth…well guess what SAKURA YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ME, NEITHER DO YOU SASUKEEEEEEEEE!!!" He suddenly screamed out.

This had made both Neji and Tenten gasped at this. Those two, Naruto's own team mates, his precious people had done something cruelly to Naruto, and Naruto had come to realize that no one in the world loved him, not even as a friend anymore….this was his ultimate and final punishment it seemed. Neji spoke up to Naruto, trying to get his attention,

"Don't say stupid things like that Naruto…there are people who care about you…" But he never got to finish his words before 4 people showed up next to Neji and Tenten and the now fast asleep Naruto.

Kakashi had arrived, with Hinata and the others. Kakashi looked slightly annoyed, but concern written on his face, as he spoke to the two ANBU,

"I heard Naruto yelling out something about Sakura and Sasuke…he's really in bad shape isn't he…" This rewarded Kakashi with a quick nod from the two ANBU lovers. Kakashi rubbed the back of his head as he turned to look at Sakura and then Hinata for a moment, "Turtle…I want you to take Sakura away from here…I don't think her presence will help in Naruto's recovery from this…Hinata-Chan, you stay here with me and help me get Naruto out of here, Falcon and Clouded Leopard, help me also…make sure we won't get attacked by any of the wildlife here…"

"Hai…" Said the others as they immediately did as they were told to do. Sakura looked saddened at Naruto's lifeless sleeping body; she was really now regretting her harsh words. She had heard him yell out her name and Sasuke's name the way he had as they hurried to the site where Neji and Tenten had found Naruto's unconscious form.

'Forgive me Naruto-Kun…I'm…I'm so sorry…for hurting you this badly, if you had just told me long ago, you loved me…maybe I wouldn't have blindly hurt you the way I did today…' Thought a teary-eyed Sakura as she was lead away by Lee out of the forest.

Once Sakura was out of ear shot range, Kakashi spoke in a more quiet tone to Neji and Tenten, "Give me the gist of everything that was said…before I arrived here...Falcon and Clouded Leopard…"

Hinata listened quietly, as she ran a hand through Naruto's sweat soaked hair, trying to comfort the poor boy, as Tenten spoke up,

"When we arrived we attempted to awaken Naruto, and when Falcon and I managed to finally do that, Naruto began to rant on about him not being loved or something…and that he blames Sakura and Sasuke for this…I don't know what's going on Kakashi-San but whatever was said and done, there's no life in his eyes left, all that happiness he used to have, that energy, its totally gone."

Neji agreed quietly with Tenten's assessment of the situation. Kakashi frowned, through his mask and shook his head, as he spoke while lifting Naruto up, carefully,

"I see…so now he's finally snapped, after all the years of pain and abuse he went through…he has come to realize that no one cares about him…" He sighed again as he continued to speak afterwards, "Well…I guess all we can do is put him in the hospital and keep him on the Hatake Watch right now…" They had nicknamed the watch on people who wanted to kill themselves over missions or things that had upset them so much, the 'Hatake' Watch because of what had happened long ago to Kakashi's father, Sakumo Hatake. Kakashi's father had committed suicide when Kakashi had been very young.

Neji and Tenten and Hinata both agreed with a quiet, "Hai…" as they got up and dusted themselves off and began following Kakashi, who immediately took off for the gates to the Forest of Death.

Naruto had indeed come to the realization that not one single soul left in this world, loved him, or wanted him around. That spark that had always made everyone around him happy was slowly beginning to die off. He didn't even know that people did care enough to have come after him, and bring him back into the Village during the whole time he was unconscious.

All Naruto knew now, was that he would never achieve his dream, to become Hokage, nor to find the person that he would love for the rest of his life. Sakura had made sure of that, oh yes. She had indeed made sure to rip what heart he had left, and shred it and break it into tiny pieces, to the point it would never heal or could be fixed again. All Naruto knew now, was that he wanted to die, and end the suffering that people had put him through all those years of his life, since the day he was born and became the living vessel of the 9 tailed Fox. All he knew, was he had no existence in this world now, it was also a realization that he would be better off dead, so that people would stop having to suffer through the pain that the Kyuubi had inflicted on all of the Village all those 18 years ago. All Naruto ever knew was that he was a monster that everyone had feared and hated, and until this day still hated and would hate until Naruto just lay on the ground and died from the torture they would put him through.

I know I know, I'm insane, for writting something like this. I feel bad, but I warned you guys this was going to be a very heavily emotional story, so give me your thoughts and feelings on this chapter and I will see if I can not better myself at writing it.

No bashing me though in your reviews okay? I want nice Reviews.
