Chapter 1

Some things Are Better Left Forgotten

Disclaimer: I don't need a disclaimer. I own this 100 percent! HAHAHA! (sigh) If I did then everything in Naruto will change. I don't do this for profit or gain but I do it for fan appreciation. So that means I don't own it. So bug off you lazy ass lawyers.

In Naruto's Home (Naruto 9yrs old)

Naruto is eating his ramen quietly in his house. The blond hair kid sat there with a frown staring at his ramen. Life never has any surprises for him. The whole village tries to attack him on a regular daily basis, making him believe that he has done something wrong. Naruto in retaliation to the mistreatment acted like a fool and played pranks around the city so he could hide behind his mask.

The mask he wore is not visible in anyway. The mask is a barrier between his real self, which cries out in the darkness, and the one that always smile.

Today is October 10th. It is his birthday. It is also the celebration of Kyuubi's defeat. It is also the day Yondaime died. Naruto was not a happy kid sitting there in his kitchen. He waited for Iruka to come over for dinner.

Naruto smiled at the memory of how he and Iruka became friends.

FlashBack of 2 years ago

One day in the academy he skipped the whole day to lie in his bed sobbing into his pillow. Naruto thought of the things the villagers said to him as he passed right by. The scornful looks, the cold expressions, and the worst of them all, they called him a demon. The thought of him being a demon scared Naruto. So he had rushed home and closed the door. As he was quietly sobbing into his pillow, Naruto shouted out in his room.

"WHY! Why am I so lonely? Would no one love me?" Naruto shouted into the empty house.

Except Iruka was standing next to his door. Iruka had his fist up and was about to pound the door so the demon could get out of his room. But the statement from Naruto gave pause to Iruka. Thousands of thoughts ran through his head as he sees himself in Naruto. As his eyes start watering, Iruka unlocked the door and went over to Naruto to give him a hug. Naruto had just become one of his important persons.

The rest was history.

End of FlashBack

Naruto waited for a few more minute before he heard a knocking at his door. Naruto thinking it was Iruka rushed to open the door. As he opened the door a ninja wearing a blank forehead protector stepped into his house.

Naruto back stepped away from the man and tried to run, but he was frozen in place by fear. The man slowly walked towards Naruto with a hand out stretched. Naruto wide eyed with fear began to lose sight as the hand drew closer. A moment before he blacked out he heard a whisper from the man.

"Don't worry; it is all part of a game. We can always replace a fake in your stead."

3 years Later

Naruto woke up sweating and breathing hard. He looked over to his calendar, to see that it has been three years ago when it happened, when he was 9 now he is 12. He always has the same bad dream, the one where the man came and kidnapped him. Naruto never told anyone about this dream, not even to Iruka. When he tried to tell anybody about the dream he would somehow forget about what he was trying to say, or the words come out wrong and people thinks he had become retarded of something.

Naruto looked over to his clock and screamed.

"What the hell? It's time already!" Naruto shouted so loud the whole block hears it.

A Few minutes Later

He runs out the door, and head towards the academy. Today was the day he graduated. After beating up Mizuki he became an official Genin.

At the Academy

"Damn it… where is that Naruto?" Iruka muttered angrily.

Just as Iruka said this, he could see a patch of blond hair in the back try to find his seat.

"Now that Naruto-san is here!" A few students laughed. Naruto looked a little sheepish and went back to his seat. "You have all become Genins. So now you are protectors of the village."

"Now here are the teams." (same things as the cannon happen)

2 hours later

"Good god. Where the hell is our sensei?" Naruto muttered in frustration.

Sasuke looked up at Naruto and "tch" him. Naruto saw this and got angry.

"What do you want Sasuke? Want to start a fight?" Naruto asked through clenched teeth.

"STOP BOTHERING SASUKE, NARUTO!" Sakura shouted at Naruto.

Naruto gave Sakura a look that said 'shut-up-bitch-or-I'll-kill-you'.

Sakura immediately backed away from Naruto. Sasuke watched the entire confrontation with an expressionless mask. As tensions in the room got higher, the sensei finally decided to show up.

"Yo, meet me up stairs." The man said and with that he walked away.

Naruto gave Sakura a final glare then stood up and walked out the door following Kakashi. Sasuke not wanting to be up staged by Naruto walked ahead of him to the roof. Sakura just stared fearfully at the back of Naruto and followed behind Sasuke hoping to god that Naruto wasn't staring at her while she was in front of him.

The sensei stood there and waited for them to seat themselves.

"Ok, my name's Hatake Kakashi. Now state you dreams, hobbies, and your favorite things in life." Kakashi said with a monotonous voice.

Naruto blanked out what he said and went into his own mind.

Inside his head where he talks to himself

'I wonder why I would yell at Sakura…?' Naruto wondered. 'Oh my god… I didn't add the –chan… is something wrong with me?'

Outside his head

Kakashi looks over to Naruto waiting for him to answer.

'Hm…it seems like Naruto has left the building.' Kakashi sighed and walked up to Naruto to gently shake him back to the world.

When Kakashi neared, suddenly Naruto fell back and started crawling away from Kakashi. Kakashi stared at Naruto as he backed away.

'Okay…that was weird…' Kakashi thought to himself. He then looked over to Sasuke and Sakura for their reactions.

Sasuke merely raised an eyebrow and said nothing. Sakura on the other hand seem to be curious over the blond haired boy.

Kakashi shakes his head and nods his head towards Sasuke to let him go.

Sasuke takes the hint and replies.

"My names Uchiha…" Sasuke began.

Inside Naruto's head

As Naruto heard that name he remembered something…

FlashBack

"My name's Uchiha…."

Naruto looked at the boy. He remembered something close to friendship. Naruto for all he's worth could not remember that boy's face. As Naruto concentrated harder he noticed that he couldn't catch the first name of the boy.

"I guess you are my partner, ne?" The boy grinned at him.

"Yea, I guess I am. The name's Uzumaki Naruto." As Naruto said his name the boy smiled at him.

"Here…" The boy gave him something Naruto couldn't identify in the flashback, but he felt immense gratuity to the boy in front of him.

End of FlashBack

Back to the Real World

Naruto snaps out of his dream like state fast enough to catch Sakura looking at Sasuke. Kakashi looks over to Naruto as she finishes. Naruto cleared his throat and began his whole speech. (cannon speech)

Kakashi smiles when Naruto finished, and said that the real test starts then and to meet him at bridge 7. When Kakashi poofs away Naruto. Sasuke and Sakura stands up and leaves. As they were heading their different paths Sakura waited for the inevitable "Wana go out on a date with me, Sakura-chan?". But Naruto never said anything and just walked back to his house, waiting for the next day.

Dream

Naruto woke to see that he was in a dream again. The horrible dream about something he didn't understand. The concept of the dream was lost to him. The whole dreams were fragmented they never piece together. The dreams never told anything to Naruto, only stories of what might've been. Naruto looks around himself to find nothing.

"Man, it looks like I'm just gona float around here huh…" But Naruto noticed that he was actually running towards someone and Naruto moaned in his head. But rapid sounds of footsteps could be heard. Fighting could be heard, the sounds of flesh hitting flesh, the sickening sounds of bones crunching. Then death filled the air in its ghastly silence. Naruto tried to find something in the darkness but could not. Naruto looked around again to still only see darkness. Suddenly a voice to the right of him spoke.

"na-"

Naruto jump and pinned the man… no a boy to the floor.

"Hey hey! I'm your partner remember? Uchiha…."

The voice was cut off again. Naruto noticed that he will never see the boy's face or hear his name.

"Let me go Naruto. We still have to fight before they let us back."

"Let us back where?"

Naruto could tell by the silence that this was a weird question to ask. Naruto really had no control over his body at all. The dream always happened in that fashion.

"Back to our cells…back to that dimly lit room. To our home…"

Author note: I know that I haven't updated in a while in my other stories and making this one will be even more difficult, but I plan to update each month, but the updates are only gona be like 1000-2000 words long.
