Naruto does not belong to me. If it did it wouldn't be so good.

Konoha. It sure brings memories back. Memories of a long time ago. Memories of a different life. It has been a long time since I have last been here. Ten years to be exact. In this place I've past the worst hours of my life but what is bugging me is that I also lived the greatest ones. However, I'm not here to remember my childhood neither to return in my previous life.

All those memories are the reason of being here now. The bonds I have with this village and its citizens. I'm here to cut them all because they keep me back. Because they don't leave me alone at nights as they haunt me in my dreams. But from all these bonds there is one that distracts me the most. The connection with that person is what I want to destroy more than anything else. Even the thought of his name doesn't let me live in peace. Because this person has been the only one who understood me, the only one who understood the reasons for everything I've done, the only one who never gave up hope for me. He and I are the same. He has been my only true friend. Naruto… why don't you let me leave Konoha for good? Why don't you let my consciousness alone? Why?

I'm afraid you live me no choice. I have to eliminate you and I'll give everything I have to make it happen…

Not that I possess many things now. Ever since I left Orochimaru, my only belongings are my clothes and my katana. Nothing else. I've been wandering around the world for a long time now. Since Itachi was dead I didn't have a need of Orochimaru anymore. That bastard Itachi… I've been training my whole life to get revenge and the result? He just goes and get killed by someone in his request of those demons! How pitiful… Anyway, after that, as I was saying, I didn't have a reason to be with Orochimaru. Besides he would take my body. I wouldn't just give it to him as a present. It wasn't that difficult to kill him at all. Kabuto was an excellent medical ninja. All I had to do was to steal some of the poison that he made and use it on Orochimaru. And he was supposed to be one of the "great" sannins! he didn't understand a thing! I guess he never thought about me betraying him, I was after all his subordinate right? Well, the rest was easy; the only thing I had to do was to kill Kabuto. I don't like to praise myself but even though he was a strong ninja, he was nothing compared to me. I've certainly done things more difficult than killing him.

As I've already said, after that, I wandered around the world. It was easier than I thought it would be. Don't forget I had a hard training during the years I was with the snake-freak. I had the desire for some action. I was after all for three whole years in a dungeon with only Orochimaru and Kabuto. Believe me not the best company. Actually, I can't think of a worse… If it wasn't for power, I would leave that place long ago. Anyway, I have traveled in many places the last few years. To survive I've been doing missions for people. I have done missions ranked B, A or even S for the half money than the money that the hidden villages asked for. You can imagine that I had a lot of clients. But even though my power is already huge- some people would dream to have it- I want more. My thirst for power doesn't seem to ever slake. Thus I've decided that I want to possess that eye, that precious eye… the Mangekyou Sharingan. Unfortunately the only way to get it is to kill my best friend, or at least that is what I'm supposed to do. I guess that's another reason for me wanting his death… something so simple yet so difficult.

With these thoughts swirling in my head I scanned the area around. Nothing seemed to be suspicious so I moved on and headed to the gates of Konoha. When I would reach the gates, I knew that they would be guarded. My face was familiar in this place so I covered it with a mask - not that I wanted to mimic my former sensei Kakashi, it is difficult to breathe with that thing – and put on a black jacket with a hood. Everything else of my appearance had change through the last years. I was much taller than before, at about 1.82m high, my muscles had gone bigger due to the long years of hard training yet I was still slim. My hair was the same as always, black like coal and had a strange shape but I didn't mind, in fact I liked them. My eyes black as ever. They were a big help in my cold look. I got rid of my old clothes. Besides they got on them the Uchiha symbol and I definitely didn't want to "advertise" who I was. Currently I wore black baggy pants and black leather boots, a black t-shirt with ripped sleeves and a black jacket with a red dragon on the back, and some pocket at the front to hold my scrolls. I know a lot of black right? Well I had I preference in that color. Anyway, a red headband replaced my old headband protector and last on my left leg I had the traditional kunai holster (or at least that's what I think it is named) but in red where I kept my kunai and shurikens.

Konoha hasn't changed at all, even the guards are the same. Why are they looking at me so intensive? Okay, my appearance is quite suspicious but they don't have to stare at me… I hate it when people stare at me. Man this village needs a renovation. Everything is the same. Just a few shops are different! Only one thing is different. The Hokage monument, it seems that they have put on Tsunade's face too. Well I guess I needed some womanish touch. What the…Why am I even thinking about something like that? I'm here to kill some people and the only thing I can think is that the Hokage monument is better with a face of woman? I must go to Naruto's apartment. The faster the better. Besides I don't want to attract any attention. I don't think it's going to be difficult at all. I mean I've done this hundreds of times. Okay here I am, Naruto's apartment. Now its time for some observation I can't just go inside and kill him…

I jumped on a tree and sat there, hidden from everyone else.

Now…I can sense two persons inside. Has Naruto got a girlfriend? Maybe it's just Sakura. Damn if there is something that I am not good at is recognizing others chakra. Why do I even think like that? I'm here to kill him and I'm wondering if he has a girlfriend? What the heck is wrong with me?

After some time of waiting I started getting bored but I had to wait till night. Another three hours passed and I decided that I was hungry so I jumped off the tree, landed softly on the ground and headed to the streets of Konoha for one more time. For some reason that I couldn't understand I was too impatient comparing to my previous missions and for the first time since I left Orochimaru I felt anxious.

I strolled for some time around and after a while I realized that I was going to Ichiraku's ramen. Why? I didn't know I guess because it was the place that I would always find Naruto when we were younger. Fortunately I thought about it again and turned to somewhere else. Many people who knew me would be there and I didn't want to take the risk of someone recognizing me. In the end I got a sandwich from a small shop. I don't know if it was supposed to be delicious but after such long time without proper food anything would be perfect for me.

As I continued my walk I reached the Uchiha mansion, what I used to call home about 15 years ago. Immediately I felt a curiosity flaming in me and the feeling of loneliness stroked my heart. I stood there without doing anything, I just watched the mansion fighting with myself if I should or not go inside. In the end my curiosity won so entered in. nobody appeared to care about a stranger going in a deserted place. I walked around the place as memories of my childhood passed through my mind. I saw my mother cooking in the kitchen, singing her favorite songs, my father returning from his job late at night and my brother preparing to go on a mission. But that's not the case anymore, that's not my life for a long time now. Everything was covered with a thick layer of dust and still in place, just like it used to be. No one had been in the house for a long time. Right after the death of my clan I moved in a small apartment away from my memories, away from the death and of course near the training grounds to have easy access at them since training was the usual way of passing my free time. Suddenly something drug me back to the reality. I hadn't noticed when I first walked in that room, maybe the memories of that day, that unforgettable day, but on the floor near the place where I found so many years ago my dead parents, laid a rose, a peach rose, peach roses symbolize appreciation and friendship, also it was only one, that meant simplicity and gratitude. Behind it, I could see… footprints. They were faint and barely visible but they were there. For a moment I felt anger filling me. That place was my house, it was a sacred place for me and a stranger just came in. Fortunately I simmered down when I saw the rose one more time. For someone to put it there showed sympathy and surprising not hate towards me but companionship. Who could possibly put that there especially since nobody was my friend.

I stood there thinking for some time when I heard a bird singing. I immediately left my thoughts and walked outside. A small bird, a mere small and weak brown bird sat at the top of a tree sang its unique song. It was really beautiful. How can a little creature like that create something so perfect? With the voice of the bird ringing in my ears I exited the mansion. As the night covered everything I decided I had to return to Naruto's apartment. I enjoyed the silence that ruled the village since people seemed to return to there houses and soon only some ninja walked from time to time not suspecting anything about my intensions. I felt the cool breeze through my hair and relax but not forgetting about my task not even for a second. Too bad for Naruto, he has to die at such a beautiful night. A smirk formed on my lips and went back to tree were I had waited before so long time. I have to make this quickly or else I'll draw the attention of the neighbors, certainly not the best thing to happen. I watched closely the two people inside. Even though the curtain was close I could easily distinguish their figures behind it. The two of them went to bed for sleep. Who the hell is Naruto with? I waited for a couple of minutes until I could hear slow breaths of sleeping people. It was show time…

I jumped to the open window and quietly removed the curtain, I peered inside and when I was sure it was okay I jumped inside. I slowly headed to the bedroom where they were sleeping. Soon two dark mazes appeared on a bed. I took a kunai in my hand and moved as quiet as possible towards them. I took carefully the blanket off them and prepared to cut his throat. I lifted my hand ready to strike when something happened that I could never believe…

A/N: I know it stops so suddenly but it is only the first chapter. The others will be much bigger I promise. Please review!!!!!!!!!!1
