I will start off by saying that this story really serves no point. However I found myself too inspired by the concept of Team 7 in and of itself to leave it. This is the first piece of work that I've written in first person for a while.
Three represents the idea of completeness or wholeness, as in the threesome past-present-future.
When we first met Kakashi-sensei, that was when we became three. We were three young people thrown together willingly (and unwillingly in some cases) to form what they called Team 7. That was when life began, for Naruto and for me… and maybe even for Sasuke-kun.
Sasuke Uchiha was everything that I desired, or thought that I had. He was pale, with the darkest hair and dark eyes and in one word gorgeous. He was from a noble clan; he was dedicated, intelligent and strong. But for all that he was cold, aloof and superior. His brother killed Sasuke's family. His entire life rotated around his past and the rest of his life orbited around revenge. He had no time for friends or love, or even a team.
Opposite to him was Naruto Uzumaki, whose golden hair and blue eyes matched his outgoing personality. Naruto was determined, loyal and strong. He was an orphan and he was treated with scorn, but in spite of that he was kind. Naruto's entire life revolved around friendship and being acknowledged. Still Naruto was immature, childish, always goofing off and forever right in your face. Still when you needed him it was guaranteed he'd be there. Naruto needed friends and he wanted love.
In between those two opposites as beautiful and wonderful as day and night, rain and sun was me. But I was nothing special, nothing like them. If Sasuke was the older child who was respected and admired and Naruto was the youngest who was always put up with and loved, then I was the middle child stuck in between them, whose power was nothing compared to either of theirs. I had pink hair and a large forehead; I came from a respected ninja family but had no kekkei genkai or unique jutsu.
Still despite our differences and our weaknesses we were one, and that was what Kakashi-sensei tried to teach us to be. Sasuke and Naruto fought, Naruto was often made fun of, I was still the weakest and always protected, but we were together and that was all that mattered.
But despite that our time would come to an end, the time when Team 7 was together would pass. And what remained would be acknowledged only as broken shards of a whole.
Also I thought I'd mention that I have another Naruto fanfic called Promises You Can't Keep. I'm attempting to get it over 1000 reviews so if you wanted to help I'd be very appreciative.
