Hey guys! I know that some of you are getting impatient with my other stories, but please refrain from any drastic behavior (runs away from reviewer trying to throw him off a cliff). I am going to focus, for now, all of my effort on thin one idea that came to me in a vivid dream. So be ready, because I don't think you'll want to miss this!
Yes, I own Naruto; and my name is Captain Planet, and I'm married to the Queen of England.

Prologue
(A/N this chapter will seem a bit rushed, but this is just a quick build up that needed to happen, and I will be posting the first real chapter not long after)
It all started with a dream.
Naruto had fallen asleep after a hard day at the Academy, where he had received a particularly bad tongue-lashing from Sakura. He had a dream in which he was shown memories of his encounters with Sakura, and none of them pleasant. As he woke up, he came to a realization. 'She doesn't like me.' he thought. 'And she'll never love me... I'm not sure if I even really loved her… looking back on it, it seems more like a stupid crush.'
The next day, he barely even said hello to Sakura. He had even foregone saying 'Sakura-chan', instead opting to use a more distant 'Haruno-san', which confused the rest of the class. Shikamaru, genuinely curious, questioned Naruto about it, to which he offered a response that shocked the whole class. "I realized that she had no interest in me, and once I thought about it, I couldn't come up with a reason why I was ever interested in her at all." Sakura was stunned. She had always thought that Naruto was just trying to make her life hard; she had never considered that he might actually be interested in her. Hinata, of course, was secretly ecstatic.
Several nights later Naruto had an odd dream of a thunderstorm, but the arcs of lightning were red. When he awoke, he went through his normal routine. But when he reached for his metal doorknob to open the door, a small zap of red electricity jumped from his hand to the doorknob. He spent the entire day trying to figure out what had happened. Little did he know that his life was about to take a turn that no one expected.

Once again, this chapter will not be a model for the rest. They will be much longer.
