Orange Jacket
Disclaimer: Ch…I can only wish. And that is exactly what I shall continue to do. TT
It wasn't supposed to be this way. A simple mission, that's all it was. Nothing too hard for a chunin, right? Simply in and out, just the way we discussed. Everything was planned down to the wire, so why are there only three of us standing here? That loser; I'm sure this is just another one of his stupid pranks. As soon as he shows up, I've got more than a few insults waiting for him.
But as we stand before our teacher, he peers at us with such an intensity of despair in his eye that unease begins to settle in my stomach. Why is he looking like that? Sakura asks him a question; one that doesn't register in my mind as I begin to realize that this may not be just a stupid prank.
Instead of answering verbally, all he does is raise a gloved hand. Clutched in it, a familiar article of clothing. That jacket… That orange jacket; that damned orange jacket that loser always wears….
Tattered.
Bloody.
Without the person it belongs to.
I grit my teeth to keep away the shouts of questioning his fate. That loser was supposed to be Hokage…prove everyone wrong. Prove his worth. Prove me wrong.
But that loser…would never be Hokage now.
Not now.
Not ever.

I know kinda is really angsty but…I was kind of feeling angsty while I wrote it. This is my first Naruto fanfic that I've ever written and I had to keep it vague since I haven't seen nearly as much as I'd like to. That and I hate getting details wrong; I can't stand reading that in fanfictions and I'd hate to be a hypocrite. Originally this was written very differently. But due to my lack of responsibility I turned it in as a homework assignment that I didn't do and the original never got returned to me. Karma sucks sometimes. So here it is the remake in all of its glory. Hope you enjoyed it.
