A/N:

Read "Journey Into Darkness" by Michael Chiappetta, its amazing, WWE fan or not, the story is pure epic…in my opinion. I read it like 3 times and currently re-reading it again, yeah its that good. Also, the story was an inspirational for this story.

PS: I have no Internet until Spet. 28 so it will take longer to update my stories as I'm uploading this one at the library -_-.

Enjoy!

He had everything.

What went wrong?

A boy around the age of eight was laying in the hospital's ICU room, looking at nothing in particular, he was just staring in his own world, trying to escape the cruel reality that had happened recently in his short-life. The boy's name was Naruto Uzumaki, he had blonde hair and his eyes were bright blue just like the ocean and he had tanned skin. He looked like that before the 'accident' happened. After that tragic event, he had dark, burnt blonde hair, his eyes were a dull blue eyes that seemed lifeless than his ever fulfilling ocean blue eyes. As for his then tanned skin? Well, the doctors and surgeons tried their best to cover all the scarred, burnt skin tissue with skin grafts but though the process was a success the boy's skin will forever have permanent burn marks and the scars from the multiple-surgeries.

Naruto wasn't just hurt physically, he didn't even feel any pain at all when the fire had been going to his skin or the many needles the doctors would put in him for tests because he has a disease called HSAN * or in other words he could never feel any pain, both a blessing and a curse. Though he was hurt the most, emotionally, he felt like he was now officially alone in this world and he felt betrayed for some reason and felt the urge to just get the hell out of the hospital and confront his so called "brother", he didn't know that he was in the hospital for at least half a year, for he was unconscious though that didn't stop him from hearing the stories while he was in his deep sleep:

Flashback: A week after the 'accident'.

A sleeping Naruto seemed to be dreaming but not a good kind of dream and his nurse tried to calm him down for he was jittering and kicking around like crazy. After a while he stopped having the unknown nightmare and laid perfectly down. The nurse sighed and headed out his room before she was confronted with another nurse at the doorway.

"Poor boy, right Tsunande?" asked the nurse named Shizune.

"Yeah, this tragedy is spreading all over the news and no one expected it to happen so sudden and scar this boy." replied the light blonde nurse, "The authorities state that everyone but him and someone else survived the fire."

"Really? I'm just shocked that this little boy even came out alive. There was no way he could make it out since his house was being burned down at 1 in the morning and let alone that it contained so many flammable chemicals. So, many that it took only a few minutes for the whole building to collapse and be left in ruins."

"That's the thing , Shizune, the medics state that he was dead and they tried to revive him but failed so they were going to declare him dead but all of a sudden he just sat up and stared at them in wonder." commented the nurse to Shizune. She just looked at Tsunande with a shocking expression,

"That's impossible! How could—?"

"Shh… Shizune let's go before we wake him up." said Tsunande and with that they left.

Month After the 'accident'

"No officer, the boy hasn't lift a finger since he was admitted in here." said Doctor Iruka, "It makes me worry if he will ever wake up."

"Hmm, this should be a problem, do you think he could hear me, Doctor?" asked Officer Kakashi.

"I would believe so but it doesn't hurt to try." answered the doctor.

"If you don't mind, I want to tell him some things in private and hope he could hear me so he could at least start to process on what happened." explained the gray-haired officer. The doctor nodded in agreement and left them alone. Once he knew the doctor was gone Kakashi took a seat next to the boy's bed. He couldn't believe the discoloring of his face and exposed arms. He could still see where the skin grafts were put and he was left to think how life would be like now for the tragic boy.

"Hey, kid or should I call you Naruto, sorry for what had happened but I know you don't want to hear my sympathy but rather hear on what we, authorities have come across on how the fire was started and why." he took a deep breathe and let it out and continued, "We believe that your house wasn't burn down by accident but some one had started it and had the intention to kill you and your beloved parents." there was a moment of silence well except for the machines attached to Naruto as they were just beeping and beeping.

"When the firefighters cleared out the flames they could only find the ashes of two people, which were your mother, Kushina Uzumaki and your father, Minato Namikaze. They never found the body of your adopted brother, Sasuke Uchiha, we don't want to put the blame on the boy but there isn't proof to show that he was killed too or no proof if he's still alive. If he was then we need to find out why he did it but this case seems like its going to take forever to solve. Well, I'll be back soon to see how your progressing, ok bye." with that he walked away and left the poor boy alone without noticing that the child had shed a tear in his unconscious state.

3 months after the 'accident'

"Tsunande did you hear?" asked Shizune the nurse as they were checking on their burnt patient, Naruto.

"What is it Shizune?" asked Tsunande while reading the machines attached to Naruto.

"The officials have found new evidence that the fire was intentional and proof that they found someone who actually caused it." answered the dark-haired nurse.

"Do tell."

"They found some sort of note outside the Namikaze-Uzumaki property, a couple of miles away actually, and the note said something about avenging the family for doing something to him and the signature was a little faint but they made it out that it was a man named Madara Uchiha. Some relative of Sasuke Uchiha." detailed the nurse.

"No, that can't be right, didn't the whole Uchiha family get murdered a couple of years ago by a psychotic man?" asked the blonde nurse.

"Well, it seemed that there was another Uchiha survivor other than Sasuke after all and he didn't bother to take in Sasuke when he was up for adoption. Also, the cops have predicted that the boy is still alive and that he somehow knew that the fire was going to happen." added Shizune,

"What's the evidence of the boy knowing that his adopted parents and brother were going to die in the fire?"

"The front door was wide open…" though still unconscious, Naruto heard everything and he was heart broken, that the boy he thought as a brother knew that the fire was going to happen and left him alone and scarred and without his parents.

5 ½ months after the 'accident'

"Well, he seems like he's going to start waking up any day soon, he's already moving his legs and arms. I say about two weeks he'll open his eyes." stated Iruka, Naruto's doctor.

"That's good, afterward we could start finding any other family members he has for them to take care of him." said a social worker by the name of Kurenai Yuhi

"I highly doubt that would happen."

"Why do you say that?"

"He has no other family members, all except his godfather, Jiraiya but he lives in the other side of the world and he has no type of communication over where he lives so, might as well start looking for a new family for him, Miss. Yuhi." commented Iruka.

"Okay, its going to be hard then well thank you for telling me, I must go but I'll be back when he awakes alright." said the red-eyed social worker.

"Ok, let me escort you out." with that both adults were gone.

End of Flashbacks

He didn't want a new family, he wanted his father and mother back not replaced. With that in his mind he made a plan to escape this horrible hospital before he met the woman. It would not be easy but he'll manage.

"Code red, code red! We have a missing patient, I repeat we have a missing patient." shouted a nurse through the speakers. After the announcement every staff member looked everywhere in the hospital for the missing patient…it was difficult to find a driven eight-year old from wanting to be free.

He was free, he could no longer fear or worry about the new family he was supposed to receive after being released at the hospital, all he had to do now was to survive on his own. Easier said than done, but his goal was to look for the men that were responsible for his scars and misery on losing his parents and being left on his own.

His goal: Hunt down Madara and Sasuke Uchiha.

Author's Note:

Its similar to the story a little but there are MAJOR changes to the plot. Next chapter I will explain in Naruto's point of view on the day that he lost his home and parents and left to suffer physically and emotionally.

*HSAN - literally mean 'Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy' is a condition that is inherited that all your nerves don't function well meaning you feel no pain. Look it up for more infromation if interested.
