A.N. ok this will not be my first fic but my most serious one, I never before used an outline so I will be for this one, you all can expect an update Thursday 10-19 pages each, this is a Naruto and Sakura fic that is going to be pretty OOC for Naruto so if you don't like then there's the door. Also I know I'm horrible with spelling, though me grammar shouldn't be atrocious. I am in the process of trying to find a Beta so anyone that would like; if the job isn't filled it would be very much appreciated. And with that gone, here is chapter one and the prelude of SHATTERED…

This story is in Naruto's p.o.v.

I… I have tried in the past… tried to forget… but I will never forget…

My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I'm a blonde, eleven years of age, and I am fairly tough for my age. I live in Konoha, the village hidden in the leaves, a wide village full of many different perspectives and many points of view; though there is one everyone can agree on. It's the belief, if you could call it that, that I am the infamous Kyuubi no Yoko.

I'm not really, I promise. I mean yeah, I do occasionally play a practical joke or two, but who doesn't. Oh well, but anyways, today is my first day of the academy, the ninja academy. Today ho-jiji told me I had to go to learn how to be self-sufficient. It was this or make ramen for the rest of my life…. Did I choose right?

It was bright, and wow there's a lot of kids. Hmm a few smell like weird, I smell dogs… and bugs…. And wow I also smell cherry blossoms! This could be fu--

"Ahem class, we have a new student joining us today," started Iruka, I don't personally know him but ho-jiji told me to look for a man with a scar on his nose. "Please state your name." and with that he looked at me… wonderful.

"…." Oh yeah, incase I forgot to mention, I rarely talk, the less I talk the less beatings I get.

"Well, do you have one." The mane looked annoyed now, guess I better speak up.

"Naruto Uzumaki.." and with that I think I would like to sit now, he motioned me to the desks.. Uhh … shit.

"Iruka-sensei maybe he's too much of a dobe to find his way here." A boy with raven hair and black eyes said. Fucking prick.

"Naruto you may sit by Nara Shikimaru." Iruka points to a kid with pineapple hair, what the hell, and my blonde hair is weird? Groaning I take a seat and stare at the desk. Focusing a bit and I hear the cherry blossom girl, I always had good senses.

"Sasuke-kun shouldn't have been so mean to Naruto, don't you think Kiba-kun? He's probably shy.." hmm well I guess I have someone here to talk to later… I hope…

"I don't know Sakura-Chan, but I know he picked a horrible day to start." Uhh what? What's going on…

"Naruto today is sparring, as is every Tuesday, do you wish to participate?" Iruka states stoically, he probably expects me to say no.

"..Sure" and with a dull nod I follow the students out leaving Iruka stunned.

Frowning I step back outside and follow the students to what looked like a giant ring. There are bleachers and a box where someone observes the fights I would assume, this might be fun. "Ok class I'm going to let Naruto pick who he wants to spar against, the rules are no kunai, shuriken, and no going for a kill. Naruto please point to who you wish to fight." ohhh bad move scar-face (pun intended) with a firm hand I raise my index finger to the arrogant prick from before who scoffs at me, heh he's mine.

"Ok Naruto, Sasuke, to the ring now." and with that we both make are way to opposite sides as I would bow, while he's being a dick and just stands there. Well that's fine, because he's not going to be smirking much longer.

He started the fight, he ran to my side and sent a roundhouse kick, which I easily blocked with my forearm. Easy enough, he spun off my arm with his leg and used the momentum to send another kick to my head. Not having enough time to block I fell backwards onto my hand narrowly avoiding it and pushed up sending my feet into his jaw sending him back a few meters as I landed on my hands.

With a few gasps and a couple people laughing, Sasuke got back up and charged me. I took a step to my right when he got to me and sent my knee to my chest, but he grabbed it and pushed onto me, spinning me as he punched me in my face sending me back a good deal.

Shaking my head a few times, I looked ahead to see another fist coming to my face which I avoided by sliding to my right and sweeping my feet, thus catching his. He started to fall but I wasn't letting him up that easily, hell no. Grabbing onto his ankle I spun him around and slammed him face-first into the dirt sending up chunks of debris, with a small smile I turned and walked back to the other students. That was until I heard "Fire Style, Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" and all I had time to do was turn to see six fireballs, the size of me flying at me. Thinking quickly I flipped through familiar hand seals of my own and held out my hand, "Tornado Barrier Jutsu!" I bellowed, as from my hand a small air current formed, which quickly turned into a huge funnel that dispersed the oncoming flames. With that six weird men in masks surrounded me and one chopped me in the back of the neck. All I remember is darkness…

Ok this was only two pages but it is the prologue, now please don't review if your going to say ho bad my spelling or grammar is, I truly don't care, as stated above I need help with a beta so thank you, next Thursday will be the next chapter then every Thursday after that, maybe this Thursday if I have enough time. R&R.
