"Naruto…?" said Sakura, figuring it out first.
"Always the smart one, eh Sakura? Who did you think it was?" he replied sarcastically. He turned away from the gory mess that he had created to look her in the eyes. What she saw would chill her forever.
"Every time you said no, every time people would look at me with those cold eyes, I would die a little. I don't know what it's like to have a family; I don't know what it's like to have real friends. Every single day I would try so hard just to get someone to look at me for me and not the monster sealed inside me." He turned back to the burning buildings and blood-soaked streets. "I told you and Sasuke because I thought you would be different. I wanted someone to understand why, why I hid behind my 'happiness,'" Sasuke appeared in the trees overhead, ready to launch his Shuriken at the blond boy.
"I was Jealous of you and Sasuke." That made the Avenger in the trees pause, wanting to hear why. "You have a family that loves you Sakura, and Sasuke can walk down the street without having rocks thrown at him, or have his home vandalize every week. Even though he doesn't have a family, he's accepted as a member of the village. I never had any of those things, and I didn't have friends," he looked to where Sasuke was waiting in the trees. "They wanted me to pay for the crimes of a demon. They wanted a demon so I gave them one."
Naruto disappeared before either of the last members of team seven could blink. Sasuke and Sakura shared a glance. Despite their differences, they both knew that they had reacted the same way when Naruto told them. They had shunned him like everybody else. Kakashi had been too busy training Sasuke to notice and Sakura went to train with Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin, after Kakashi noticed she had the chakra control to be a great medic nin. She had come back to the village after she got drunk and gambled away her house. Naruto had been forgotten and no one had noticed or cared.
"We screwed up," she said as Sasuke jumped down beside her.
"Yeah, we did."
A/N-Just a thought I had. Should I continue?
