.:A Broken Mind:.

A young Naruto sat in a plain white room holding his knees to his chest, rocking back and forth. A man in a white doctors outfit came in holding a needle and syringe. "Come to calm me down again?" Naruto said giggling evilly. The man looked into his crazed eyes. 'What happened to him to cause this?' He thought as he injected the liquid into Naruto neck. Naruto immediately slipped into a fitful sleep.

He was in an orphanage. A mean looking woman was looking down upon him. "Follow me you little monster." She snarled. As Naruto followed her, they arrived at a high set of stairs. As Naruto began to walk down the woman shoved him. Naruto tumbled down the stairs and landed unconscious, with a few limbs facing irregular ways. He was not found until a few days later when the third Hokage came looking for him.

Now he was in his house being introduced to a new caretaker. She was in her mid twenties and looked pleasant enough. As the Hokage, left her smile turned into a scowl. She told him to get to bed before she hurt him. Naruto woke that night to see his new caretaker standing over him with a big kitchen knife. She stabbed him in the arm and brought her hand up to stab him in the chest. Luckily, the Hokage was watching in his crystal ball and arrived in time to save him.

Now Naruto saw a scene he never wanted to relive again. He was walking home after trying to play at the park. He got beat up by some villagers again. This caretaker was one that finally cared for him. For the last 2 months he was happy. But for some reason something seemed wrong today. As he arrived ho noticed his door was cracked open. He walked in to see a sight that finally destroyed his sanity. Warning: Mild Gross Stuff Follows His favorite care taker was impaled on the wall with a sword. Her body was cut up and bloody and it looked like some of her fingers were cut off. Gross Stuff Over There was graffiti all over his walls like "Demon Lover!" and "Hell Spawn" Naruto fell to the ground and threw up. His world was shattered. Later that day Naruto stood atop the Hokage monument. He had stolen some sake and drank it. He grimaced as the liquid slid down his throat. He held his arms out wide and jumped. The next day he woke up in a hospital. "Naruto what in the world were you thinking!" Yelled a distressed Hokage. "Well, see your disfigured care taker impaled into the wall, drink enough sake to take out 10 ANBU and then decide you life sucks is enough to make you think that it might just be better to end it." Naruto responded sarcastically. Suddenly Naruto felt extreme anger. Something so powerful he couldn't control it.

He jumped off the bed, sanity lost with only one thought going through his head. 'Kill'. With that Naruto jumped at a surprised Hokage who barely dodged. He charged out his door into the crowded waiting room and proceeded to attack any in his way. His eyes were red and crazy and he was drooling. By the time ANBU had stopped his rampage the place was wrecked and many were injured. He was then deemed unstable and was sent to a mental institution.

Naruto was the perfect Ninja now. His body has been conditioned from running from villagers and the exercises he does daily for lack of anything else to do. The fact that he is also completely insane helps with being a cold-hearted killer. The Institution has calmed him into a rather docile, if not completely anti-social, being. Now, the only shred of hope Naruto has left is himself.



Well Kit, I guess we are going to be out of here soon. It's been 3 years. Will be able to go back to the academy and then I guess we'll become ninja. I think were going to have some trouble though. Were famous for being crazy killers even though we never really killed anyone. "Yes well, people are stupid that way Naruto said, the only reason I'm sane right and the only reason I'm getting out now anyway is because of the pills I'm getting that control my emotions. Without these I'd still be trying to break out of here and kill people, crap, I feel the injection wearing off." As Naruto's meds wore off he started feel intense anger he started to punch the walls, scream. He wanted to destroy, he needed to destroy. A sad Hokage watched through a glass ball. "Naruto, what shall become of your shattered mind' he thought. 'Kit, what are we going to do' a tired Kyuubi though. Finally Naruto calmed down. He fell back and knocked himself unconscious.

Release and Fear

Naruto sighed. It was release day and he was scared as heck. 'Just take the pills and you'll be OK' he thought "Your OK Kit, just take it one step at a time." As Naruto exited the Institute he was met by a smiling Hokage. "Well Naruto, I'm going to take you to your house before the academy starts, please follow me." He took Naruto to his small apartment on the "bad" side of town and Naruto noticed it was pre furnished. And not badly. Naruto reached into his backpack and pulled out a new pair of clothes, a pair of large headphones, and a small CD player. Naruto put on a pair of Baggy black pants with 4 pockets on each side, a black shirt with a fox emblem on the front with a black, short sleeve, button up shirt open over that. Naruto put the head phones around his neck and put a CD in the player, which he put in one of his pockets. The Song "Faint" by Linkin Park started playing. Awesome. "Naruto, your going to be late for the academy if you don't hurry!" exclaimed the Hokage. "Alright" Naruto sighed. He disappeared in a whirl of flames.

Naruto appeared in front of the academy. He walked to the class room he barely remembered. He took some pills and knocked. Iruka appeared and looked down at Naruto in surprise, he looked dead tired. It was true, along with his new Goth-like clothes he had faint bags under his eyes, and his hair was disheveled. His eyes were glazed over, though there was a hint of instability in them. "Naruto, were have you been for that last 3 years!" Iruka asked. Naruto handed Iruka a note, "This should explain everything" he said. He walked in after the young, brown-headed teacher. Iruka said, "Class this is Naruto, he's going to be in this class from now on." Gasps and looks of shock were heard and seen around the room, they hadn't seen Naruto in years and he looked…emo! As he walked to the very back of the class he ended up next to non other than Uchiha Sasuke. He took some pills and sat. Sasuke raised an eyebrow, what the heck, he looks half dead, and what's with the pills. "What's with you dope, you Emo or something, were have you been?" Naruto looked at Sasuke. "Since when did you want to talk to me?" He asked . "Since you looked like a suicidal zombie." Sasuke replied. Well, Sasuke aren't you the observant one. Flesh Bag." After that Naruto took a few more pills. Sasuke just stared. During this nice conversation Iruka had read the 3rd's note and was shocked. 'Since when has Naruto been suicidal?' he thought. As the class went on Naruto surveyed the class. Everyone was still the same except everything seemed, well, weird. But everyone was staring at him for some reason, then he noticed the looks of fear confusion from a few people. Naruto sighed, apparently everyone had heard of his attack on the hospital all those years ago.



Naruto sat in his apartment listening to a favorite Linkin Park CD, Metorea, when something extremely unexpected happened. Someone knocked on his door. Naruto stared at his door. 'What should I do, should I run, maybe there trying to kill me, maybe it's trick maybe-' his frantic rambling was interrupted by a "Shut up and answer the freaking door Kit!" On Kyuubi's orders he walked over to the door and answered it, taking a few pills along the way. "Hello?" he quietly asked (is that out of character or what!?) to see both Iruka and Sasuke standing there. Naruto looked at Sasuke wide eyed who just stared at the ground. "Well, you going to invite us in or do we have to ask!" Iruka said, laughing. Naruto opened the door wider to let in his sensei, and Sasuke as well. Sasuke still hadn't said a word but he did like Naruto's house. There were targets on the walls, weapons everywhere, books and...guitars? Also he had a punching bag in one corner and a weight bench in the other. Besides all his training equipment his house was normal, not all Goth like Sasuke had thought It would be. Naruto looked between the two, "Please sit, I'll get….something…" As Naruto walked out Iruka turned to Sasuke, "Now what are you really doing here, I know you don't particularly care for Naruto." Sasuke looked down and didn't say anything. "Maybe your jealous he's stealing your fan girls huh? Wait maybe, your not, well, gay, are you?" Sasuke's head went up in a flash and yelled "No. Way. In. Hell!" Naruto walked in and said, "I know you got questions, so go ahead and ask. I won't promise you'll hear the truth though." Sasuke started first, "Were have you been, why are you more emo then me, what happened to the hyperactive Naruto, and please don't listen to Iruka, I'm not gay." Naruto smirked at that last comment. "Okay Sasugay, let me see, I think I can trust both of you." Naruto's face slid into a sad expression. "For that last 3 years I've been in an Institution, but it was really just an insane asylum, after my attack on the hospital. I'm emo because my emotions hurt other people, to much of one emotion and I lose control. Without my meds I would be insane right now, ripping you to shreds. The hyperactive Naruto, as you called him, is dead. His mind shattered, driven insane by the fools in this village. I hope that answers your questions." With that he took more pills "Anyway guys, if that's all you came for, leave," Naruto said in a bored tone. Sasuke left but Iruka stayed, he needed to stay. "Naruto, he began, are you really ok?" Naruto sighed, he didn't know how to answer that question. "Iruka sensei, I don't know. Right now I'm just trying to survive." Iruka left Naruto to think about that question. 'Am I really alright…'

Kyuubi sighed, he was worried about the Kit he had sworn to protect. "This is killing me, I can't seem to keep the parts of his mind the meds to reach intact. If this keeps up he may lose fear and love all together. God Kit, please end up OK.

The next few months went in a flash, Naruto was a genius, begin taught by a 10,000 year old demon may have caused that, but he lacked motivation. He didn't have anything to keep him going. That was what scared Iruka. Iruka, he had been getting a little to close. It seemed he was always asking Naruto how he was doing, is he okay, what's going on, etc. Normally Naruto would humor him, eat ramen, answer his questions, ect. But Naruto had not taken his pills for over and hour and he was starting to go into the 'extremely irritable stage'. "Hey Naruto, how's everything going, you doing okay?" Iruka said, It sounded like he was talking to a 3 year old. And that was enough to set Naruto off. Good thing no one else was in the class room at the moment. "OH MY GOD IRUKA, LEAVE ME THE HECK ALONE, I'M NOT A FREAKING 3 YEAR OLD, I'M A PERSON, CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, SO PLEASE, JUST 

LET ME LIVE MY CRAPPY LIFE, YOU ARE NOT MY DAD!!" With that Naruto stormed out and Iruka sat, shocked beyond words.

The Genin exams, the day Naruto was dreading. He was going to stuck with another baby sitting teacher just so there wasn't a chance he wasn't going to kill himself. Untrustworthy little…. Naruto sighed and got out of bed in his pajamas. Surprisingly they weren't black! They were, um, red with white pokadots! "Good morning Kit, good luck on the exams too. Try to have some fun today. You can still express emotion." Kyuubi said. Naruto mentally nodded. He was still having trouble expressing emotion, but he had tried. He was reading books about how to express emotion. Naruto ate some breakfast and got dressed in his normal clothes and ruffled up his pale blond hair and checked the dark bags beneath his eyes. After his morning ritual he left. He would have been better off to stay inside. Naruto heard a bunch of squeals as he left his apartment and the worst sentence ever, "Hello Naruto-kun!" Naruto looked to the left to see a group of, oh god, fan girls, about 10 feet away from him. Naruto slowly started backing away then turned and ran. They of course followed. Naruto took some pills and yelled, "Stay away form me you psychopaths, I'm not interested!" about 15 minutes of running Naruto turned a corner to see Sasuke. "Oh thank Kami Sasuke, save me, fan girls!" Sasuke raised an eyebrow and started to say something but heard the thunder of foot steps. Sasuke's eyes widened, "Oh crap no, now were both screwed." The fan girls rounded the same counter and exclaimed, "Naruto-kun and Sasuke-kun, yay!" Naruto and Sasuke turned and ran for their lives, threw the village, threw the hot springs, threw the training fields, and finally, the pursuit ended with Naruto tossing all his Kunai at their heads. Finally, to the academy.

At the academy they found solace in the empty class room of Iruka, no one, not even Iruka himself, was there. "Well Naruto, never thought you would come to me for help, I guess you do trust me!" Sasuke said. "Don't get used to it, it was one of the few times I decided to 'run' instead of 'kill', if you tell anyone I will give you to the fan girls personally. Now shut up." Naruto said scowling. Sasuke growled, "Alright punk, I can't take this anymore. In the past few months we've talked more than since we were friends back when we were little. And suddenly you come back all suicidal and strong and you expect everyone to just go with it! Well not everyone works like that! Maybe people like Shino can take it but most people have the same reaction. Kiba hates you, Hinata's scared of you, Choji and Shikamaru don't care! You use to be friends with these people! Nearly all the girls either are scared that you'll kill them now or are in love with you! I don't even know why I know this, it's driving me nuts!" As Sasuke took a breath and cooled himself Naruto took some pills. He had never had someone actually ask him. Maybe their was a slight chance he could find a friend in Sasuke. 'Kyuubi, he thought, is this a good idea, I don't want to trust him just to have to kill him later." Go ahead Kit, tell him enough, but not all of it until you completely trust him. "Sasuke, let me tell you my story." Naruto told Sasuke about his condition and what had happened to him to make him this way, he hoped Sasuke wouldn't ask the all important question. He did, can't poor Naruto get a brake? "Why did the sickos do this, there's no logical reason I can think of." Naruto took some pills to keep his anger and fear under control. He didn't know what to do. And he wasn't going to get lucky and "saved by the bell" this time. "I can't tell you." Naruto stated simply. Sasuke shook his head, he was afraid he was going to get that answer. As Sasuke opened his mouth the noises started. The noise both Sasuke and Naruto had grown to dread the bell, and, "Fan Girls" they said to each other. Naruto took pills, "What the hell are we going to do?!" It was to late. The 

door broke down and they were instantly buried under date requests and hugs. "Get to your seats!" Iruka yelled surprising the girls and the other students who were either laughing at the two boys or glaring in jealousy. "Now, Iruka began, today is the Genin exams, and you meet your teams. Naruto tuned out Iruka's speech to look at his fellow students. Some look scared, others looked confident. Shikamaru was asleep. I'm going to skip everyone else and go straight to Naruto. As Naruto entered the room Kyuubi spoke. Kit, I don't like the smell of the white Haired fellow, he seems to be planning something, I suggest you kill him ASAP. 'Yeh, I'll do that now.' Naruto though sarcastically. The only words Naruto heard, since he was ignoring Iruka, was bunshin. Naruto sighed, he hated doing bunshin's they were so weak. Naruto make a one handed seal and suddenly a bunshin appeared. But his was no normal bunshin, it was solid, a Kage Bunshin. Iruka opened his mouth to speak but was stunned when his assistant Mizuki suddenly leaped from his chair. Kit watch out! Naruto barely dodged the very large shuriken aimed at his head. "Mizuki!" He heard Iruka yelled. Naruto instinctively, whipped out a kunai, spun on his heel, and threw. It caught Mizuki in the throat. He was to busy yelling at Iruka about how the 'demon cheated' he didn't even notice. He was already dead. Iruka looked at the dead body of Mizuki, then at the wide eyed Naruto. 'Wait, Iruka thought, Naruto's surprised?' He chastised himself, Naruto was human, he still had emotions. Iruka went and comforted the boy, it wasn't his first kill really (apparently there were a few accidents in the institution) but it the first were he just did it. Calm down Kit, take it easy, take some pills, don't get to out of control. Naruto obediently swallowed a few pills while Iruka hugged him and told him it was ok. He sent Naruto back home and summoned the ANBU. Iruka went back in and announced the teams before leaving. same as manga

The Sensei, the Mission

Sasuke was walking next to Sakura on there way to meet their teacher. He tried to avoid her but it turns out he had extremely bad luck. As they arrived at the correct room they heard singing. They looked at each other, "Do you think it's sensei?" Sakura asked. "No, Sasuke replied, I know that voice." They put their ears to do the door to here none other tan Naruto singing. And not badly.

"Faint"
I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact that everyone can see
these scars
I am what I want you to want what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, to just believe
this is real
So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got
(I can't feel the way I did before)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
(Time won't heal this damage anymore)
(Don't turn your back on me)


(I won't be ignored)
I am a little bit insecure a little unconfident
Cause you don't understand I do what I can but sometimes I don't make
sense
I am what you never wanna say but I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear
me out
So I let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got
(I can't feel the way I did before)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
(Time won't heal this damage anymore)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
(No)
(Hear me out now)
(You're gonna listen to me, like it or not)
(Right now)
(Hear me out now)
(You're gonna listen to me, like it or not)
(Right now)
(I can't feel the way I did before)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
(I can't feel the way I did before)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
(Time won't heal this damage anymore)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
I can't feel
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

"Who new Naruto could sing!" Sakura said. And before Sasuke could protest (he was smart) she busted into the room saying. "Naruto was that really you, I didn't think an idiot like you could sing!?" She said nosily. Naruto's eyes widened. 'Crap someone heard me!' This time Kyuubi was silent, but Naruto swore he heard a faint snickering in his head. He noticed Sasuke behind Sakura. "Listen, he said, tell no one what you heard, If you do, I will find you and kill you understand?." Sakura was utterly confused and scared. A/N: She isn't one of the Naruto fan girls, mainly because I hate her guts. "Why Naruto, you're a really good singer! Much better than mot 

people I heard," Sakura said, kissing up to him. Sasuke had explained to her to have patience to Naruto, and to add salt to the wound he added that he was super powerful. He's cruel like that. Sasuke started laughing. "Sasuke remind me to kill you later." Naruto said coldly. He then took some pills and looked down at Sakura. "Let's get something straight, I don't really like you." "You don't like any body." Sasuke said interrupting. Naruto flipped him off and continued. "Anyway, I don't like you, I don't want you to hold me back, so I will help you as much as possible. You are a teammate so consider yourself my second friend. For now. And I think you should know, Sasuke's gay. He tried to hit on me a few times. "Dang Naruto what's you flipping problem, I am not gay!" After Sasuke's outburst they heard a "ahem" from the door. A man that looked more ike a Cyclops stood in the way. Kakashi looked at his group of stupids. Then cursed himself.

"Your late idiot" Naruto said annoyed, what kind of jounin are you Hatake?" The raised his eyebrows, this kid new of him?

"Well, Kakashi said, on my fist impression,--

"You hate me and think everyone else is annoying, Naruto interrupted."

"Meet me on the roof" Kakashi said as he poofed away. "I wish I could do that" Sakura said. Naruto laughed evilly and poofed away like Kakashi. When Sakura and Sasuke finally arrived on the roof they saw Naruto taking some pills and Kakashi twirling a kunai. "About time" Naruto said sourly. "Take a seat and listen up, I'm Hatake Kakashi and I'm you jounin sensei. I want you to tell me your name, likes, dislikes, dreams, etc." Sakura raised her hand. "Sensei, could you please go first and give us and example.' Naruto looked at her with an eyebrow raised. "What in the world is so complicated about it, are you really that stupid?" He asked annoyed. Sakura gasped at this while Sasuke laughed and Kakashi raised an eyebrow. "Okay emo-kid, you start." Kakashi said dryly. "Fine, he said taking more pills, I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I like nothing except my 'tenant' rock music and foxes, I dislike all humans and everything I haven't mentioned, I dream to live to the age of 21." Kakashi was wincing through the whole thing, this kid was worse than he thought, he even knew about Kyuubi. "Your next pinky" Kakashi said.

"I'm Haruno Sakura, I like..blushes I dislike Naruto." "How original" Naruto interrupted." Sakura glared at him. "My dream is to be a great medic nin and...'blushes.'

Kakashi sighed, a fan girl, great. "Okay Emo-kid-who-is-not-as-emo-as-the-other-guy. You go." Sasuke glared at his sensei. "I' m Uchiha Sasuke, I like training, I dislike it when people call me gay, I also dislike fan girls. My dream used to be to kill my brother but now thanks to common since, my dream is to one day restore my clan. Though I would still like the chance to kill him."

"Well then, all three of you make up team seven, meet me at training ground number 7 for you true exam." "True Exam?" The 3 asked. Kakashi chuckled, that always got them. "yes, survival training against me, and please, don't eat breakfast." "Why not?" Sasuke asked. "Because I don't want you to throw up, this test has a 66 rate of failure." 'Whoop-de-do, who cares, can we go now!" Naruto exclaimed. "Yes, you can." With that the 3 genin left their own unique way and Kakashi left to talk with the Hokage. 'I don't like that kid' Kakashi thought.



The Uchiha Estate

"Hey Sasuke, I think I ticked off our sensei" Naruto chuckled. Sasuke laughed, "You think, he was this close to hitting you!" The two boys laughed as they entered their new home. They were glad to be on a team with each other, but until they decided if they trusted Sakura or not, she was the odd man/girl out. "Well, time for dinner." Naruto said happily. "At least your happy for once, and remember, don't forget next week is the Kyuubi Attack Annivesary." That last comment froze Naruto. 'Hey, you okay?" Sasuke asked carefully. "Yeh, I'm ok…" Naruto said quietly as he went inside.

"Mom I'm home!" Sakura yelled as she entered her house. She walked into the kitchen to see her mom cooking dinner. "Hello Sakura, who is your sensei!" her mom asked excitedly. "My sensei is this jounin named Kakashi, he was annoying at first but he looks really powerful. On my team I have Sasuke-kun! I'm also paired with the weirdo Naruto. There best friends though. It makes me feel awkward. Sakura's mom was smiling until she got to the part about Naruto. "I don't want you on a team with that freak, I heard he was unstable. It's not safe for you to be around him!" Sakura looked at her mom with a mix of confusion and fear. She's never seen her mom like this, and Naruto didn't even seem that crazy. Even though he had admitted to being so….Sakura tired to think of something to say to her mother, but in the end she couldn't think of anything to defend her team mate. She ran upstairs.

.:The Test, The Mission:.

Naruto and Sasuke arrived an hour after the time they were told to, to see a very angry Sakura and a annoyed Kakashi waiting. "You two are an hour late." Kakashi growled. Naruto laughed, "Sorry, we were eating breakfast, and we know you always arrive to hours late so we decided to show you how it felt." "Do you really think we would fight on an empty stomach!" Sasuke asked. It was Sakura's turn to yell. "Who the hell do two think you are, I would expect this from Naruto but not you Sasuke-Kun, he is your sensei treat him with respect!" "everyone be quite and lets get started, you mission is to get these two bells, strike like you want to kill." Suddenly a Kunai whizzed passed Kakashi's face, cutting his cheek. In front of him was Naruto twirling a second Kunai on his finger. "I didn't say go yet." Kakashi said. Naruto took some pills and shrugged. "GO!" He yelled. Everyone disappeared. 'I can tell were Sakura and Sasuke is, it seems Naruto is on a completely different level.' Kakashi thought sadly. He wanted to kick Naruto's ass. 'Kyuubi, time to come out and play' Naruto thought gleefully. Wow Kit, we haven't spoken in a while. Nice to see you., lets kick some ass and take some names. Naruto took some of Kyuubi power Not Chakra, raw power and sped at Kakashi wit inhuman speed. Naruto landed a punch on Kakashi's face. This surprised Kakashi but it wasn't over. Naruto appeared behind Kakashi and kneed him in the back, then spun around in front of him to kick him on the side of the face. As Kakashi hit a tree Naruto shot pure chakra out of his hand to wrap around the bells and take them both. Just as he touched the bells they, and Kakashi poofed away. As Naruto looked around he felt the ground underneath him move and he was suddenly pulled underground. Kakashi appeared above and kicked him in the face. "You're a good fighter kid but not good enough!" Both Sakura and Sasuke came out and just stood there. Staring at their sensei. Who promptly turned and through shuriken at them, which was enough to cause them to go into hiding again. He turned to look at Naruto but he wasn't there!"Air Needle jutsu!" Kakashi spun 

while making hand seals toward the sound of the voice, narrowly avoiding projectiles. "Earth seal jutsu" Naruto growled as his leg was encased in rock. He screamed and started tearing t the rock, his eyes slowing turning red. Kakashi calmly walked over and shoved some pills from his pocket into Naruto's mouth. "This isn't over yet kid." Kakashi stated. "Wrong", Naruto said, before he poofed away. Kakashi sighed, the kid was good, but he was better. Kakashi spinned on his heel and through a kunai at apparently nothing, until Naruto reappeared in front of it. Naruto's eyes widened. He wasn't expecting this. Naruto closed his eyes, this was going to hurt.

15 Minutes later Naruto woke up to see his teammates staring at him and his arms immobile. He looked down to find himself tied up. "Kakashi, he began, you suck." "Hey guys, Naruto said, I'm going to kill you all if I don't get let loose. Now." Kakashi held some food up in front of Naruto. "Want some?" he asked. Naruto nodded. "Sorry, but no."Kakashi said as he started eating the food himself. Naruto started growling, "Then give me some pills." Kakashi smiled. 'Well, since you all failed I guess I could at least do that..." Naruto smirked, "Bull, you and I both know that the council wouldn't let the Uchiha fail and they won't leave me to roam on my own, we pass whether you like it or not." Sakura's eyes widened, 'does this mean, I'm useless?' she thought.

Kakashi sighed, time to start missions.

The Next 2 Months was spent doing D-Rank Missions. Naruto almost killed 4 people and tried to commit suicide once.

"Okay, the 3rd Hokage said, today you will baby sit, get some groceries, and—" "No way in heck" Naruto interrupted. "Listen, we better get a c-rank mission before I lose it and someone gets hurt." The Next sentence was whispered to the Hokage only "And Kyuubi agrees that we should get a tougher mission, do you want to argue with a 10,000 year old demon?" Naruto whispered menacingly.

"Okay, Hokage said, your mission will to be to escort a man back to the wave country. Please come in." I'm not going to explain what Tazuna looks like, you already know "These fools are going to guard me, the only adult looks half dead! And look at the blond shrimp, he couldn't protect anyone!" The next second Naruto was behind Tazuna holding a kunai to his neck. "I seriously suggest you reconsider how you talk to me and my teammates, because I really couldn't care whether you get home or not, I just need the cash." With that last threat everyone agreed to meet at the gate in an hour.

Naruto sat impatiently by the gate, he was itching to get out the village (legally) for once. The last time he was out was 4 months ago and he killed 2 people. He came back a satisfied man. This was one of those Naruto could just think, not worry about resent assignation attempts or not having food. He looked at the sky sighing, before having his head being split by a shriek that must have been sent by the devil himself. "Naruto, why are you here so early, I wanted to be first!" Sakura yelled. Naruto blinked, 'did she willingly talk to me?' As Sakura continued talking about meaningless things Naruto took a few pills. "Sakura, Naruto said, what kind of trick is this?" Sakura gave Naruto a funny look, "Naruto are you crazy?" Naruto gave her a look.



Sakura coughed, "Anyway… why would I trick you?" Naruto rolled his eyes, "Well I'm not the most popular person around as you have probably seen." Sakura sighed, trying to gain a psychopaths trust is not easy. "Listen Naruto, I just want to be friends with you. We have to work together on a team and the best way for this to work is to talk, so please try." Naruto nodded, then turned. "Time to go." Sakura turned and saw Kakashi and Sasuke walking toward them. You hurting my feelings you know. 'Oh please Kyuubi, it's not like you've been the most talkative person. Hey, don't talk to me like that, I can easily cause you immense pain. And I can easily do the same, you know it. Ooh I'm so scared of mister going-to-kill-you-in-your-sleep, you aint got nothing on me. 'All right fur ball it's-'

Naruto's rather deranged conversation was interrupted by a hit on the head. He looked up to see Kakashi's smiling face. "That is not the best idea Sensei, I might just decide not to take my pills someday.' Naruto through a few pills down his throat and turned. Kakashi frowned, 'Were does he keep all those things.' Naruto turned, the mission has began.

End of Chapter One
