Disclaimer: Let me make this slow and easy for you. I. Do. Not. Own. Naruto.
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
Uzumaki Naruto walked through the outskirts of Konoha, feeling down. Today was none other than the day he hated the most. October 10th. And it was sunset.
He kept in the shadow, keeping out of sight of the villagers. Even though he was 16 today, he still hid. No matter how much respect he could earn from the other shinobi in the village, the non-shinobi [and even some other shinobi] still hated him and would do anything to kill him. Speaking of which…
"HEY! I FOUND THE DEMON!"
Naruto turned sharply at the shout. 'Crud… I should've remembered that this is where all the people that would just love to see me dead live,' He thought as he ran. But he ran too late, and they surrounded him. One of shinobi pulled out a blade, and all Naruto could do was cower away as the blade cut him again and again.
"Chain him! We don't want him alive! If he lives, he'll tell the Hokage! Everyone knows that he put a spell on her and half the village!"
Naruto, covered in his own blood, could only barely register them putting chains around his horribly weakened body. As the chains were locked together, he heard someone saying something about attaching a weight to the chains and throwing him in a river and letting him drown.
His thoughts drifted to his friends, and the last time this had happened and what he had told them.
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
"NARUTO-KUN! WHAT HAPPENED?!" Hyuga Hinata had asked when she found him lying in a pool of his own blood.
Naruto was covered in numerous cuts and bruises. The demon haters had caught him and had beaten him, but he wasn't about to tell her that. "I guess I was training to hard," he laughed.
Hinata knew immediately that he was lying to her, and that frightened her. 'Oh,
Naruto-kun, why won't you tell me the truth?' she thought sadly as she helped him stand.
Naruto hated telling her a lie, but he knew he had to do it. 'I'm sorry, Hina-chan, but if you knew the truth, they would kill you too,' he thought sadly.
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
Naruto thoughts were filled with the dream he had hoped to achieve: To be Hokage. He could barely remember that dream as he was dragged through the dirt.
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
'I love my friends…They're my family…That's why I can't tell them what actually is happening…' he thought sadly. He thought back to how hard he had fought to save Sakura when Gaara had trapped her in his sand claw.
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
Meanwhile…
Tsunade sighed. She had grown worried about Naruto over the past few weeks, ever since Hinata had brought him to her half-conscious and covered in blood. Naruto didn't tell her how it had happened, and that's what worried her.
Just then, the Konoha 11, as they had been dubbed, walked into her office, worry shown on all of their faces. Tsunade noticed right away that neither Naruto or Hinata was among them.
"Well, what can I do for you people?" Tsunade asked.
"Well, we're wondering where Naruto is," Shikamaru said, getting right to the point, as usual.
"When was the last time you saw him?" Tsunade asked, her fear growing as she thought of all the possible things that could've happened to her favorite brat.
"Last night. He wasn't in his apartment, we already looked. We can't find him anywhere and he was supposed to meet us at Ichiraku an hour ago," Sakura said.
Just then Hinata walked in, teary eyed. Ino looked at her in shock. "What happened, Hinata?"
"Naruto didn't meet me for our date. I've been waiting for three hours…" Hinata replied, tears flowing down her cheeks.
This got everyone's attention. Naruto would never miss a date with Hinata. Tsunade stood up. "What is today?" she asked.
"October 10th. Why?" Kiba asked. What Tsunade said next shocked everyone.
"KUSO! SPREAD OUT AND FIND NARUTO! NOW!!!!!"
They all disappeared without a word, save for Hinata and Tsunade. "Hinata, I need your Byakugan. I have a feeling Naruto's in big trouble."
"Because of the Kyuubi?"
Tsunade looked at her in shock. "How?"
"Naruto told me about it. Oh my Kami! I think I know where he is!"
"TAKE ME!!"
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None
of my pain and woe
Can show through
The Konoha 11 raced at the outskirts of the village when they heard Hinata's scream that echoed throughout the village. What they saw shocked them to no end.
In Hinata's shaking hand…was Naruto's bloody hitai-ate with a slash through the leaf. Next to her was a trail of blood…leading to the river…
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As
my conscience seems to be
"Where's Tsunade?!" Choji asked in panic. Hinata glanced at the river.
"I-I f-f-found his…he's at t-the b-b-b-bottom o-of t-the ri-river…T-T-T-Tsunade jumped in after him…"
I have hours, only lonely
My love is
vengeance
That's never free
Everyone's eyes widen in shock and disbelief. Just then Tsunade surfaced, under one of her arms was Naruto's soaking lifeless body, wrapped in chains connected to a weight.
"HELP ME GET HIM UP ON SHORE!" she screamed.
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before
I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
They quickly rushed over and helped pull Naruto's body onto the shore. What they saw was forever seared into their minds.
Naruto's eyes were filled with fear and lifeless. His whiskered cheeks were covered in cuts and whatnot. His clothes were in shreds and stained with blood that could never be washed away. And…he wasn't moving…
If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger
down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me
warm, let me wear your coat
Sakura and Ino didn't have time to start CPR before Tsunade jumped out and shoved them out of the way. Tsunade began CPR, but it already looked hopeless. Naruto had been underwater too long. While Tsunade tried to get his heart beating, tears fell in torrents down her face. "No… No… Dammit brat! DON'T YOU DARE DIE ON ME!!!" she screamed, then tried mouth to mouth.
Nothing worked. Naruto didn't move…
Hinata knew…She already knew that they had been too late…
No one knows what it's like
The Konoha 11's eyes all filled with tears as they dropped to their knees. They knew the truth…
To be the bad man
Tsunade refused to give up. She continued CPR, desperate to get some kind sign that her adopted son would be all right. After a few minutes, she, too, gave up. Using two fingers, she closed Naruto's eyes.
To be the sad man
Then she heard it. A heartbeat. She quickly forced more air into Naruto's lungs.
Behind blue eyes
Naruto coughed up loads of water.
And his brilliant blue eyes opened.
Tsunade couldn't believe it. "Naruto?" she asked softly. His eyes turned to her and they were filled with a happiness that she knew had never been there before. But what he mouthed filled her with a happiness she knew and loved.
"Kaasan?" Then his eyes closed.
Tsunade was immediately filled with fear. She quickly examined him, and found that he was still breathing. "That baka. He fell asleep."
The Konoha 11's eyes widened. "Then?"
Tsunade picked up Naruto and turned to them. "He's alive, and asleep. Kami has granted my wish." She looked at Naruto, kissed him on the forehead, and whispered, "I love you, my son."
