Chapter 1: Regret

I was walking through the village thinking about what I should say to the hokage. How I would tell him what I wanted to say. He always listened to anything that was being said to him, but that's not what I was worried about. I was worried about how he would react. Clutching my konoha leaf headband in my hand I picked up my pace a bit.

I didn't want to deal with this anymore, I just wanted to live a normal life, as a normal person that didn't have to go on missions or kill anyone. I needed to start my life over from the beginning I needed another chance to be normal.

The hidden leaf village I lived in was damaged badly due to the most recent ninja war. The fifth I believe. But for some reason, just thinking about the war reminded me of… 'It.'

I raced to the hokage tower and up the stairs I knocked on the door and entered when I heard the o.k. Entering slowly I noticed the hokage was sitting in his usual seat with a bored expression on his face. I saw piles of paper work littering his desk and I gave a little chuckle. He glared at me which made me stop mid-laugh.

I took a deep breath and walked over to his desk. I placed my headband on the side of his desk.

"Naruto. Take this back I don't want it anymore" I said in a confident voice.

His eyes widened in shock as I said what I wanted to tell him. "Why?" he asked in a confused voice.

"I just can't take it anymore; I want to live a normal life without the problems of being a shinobi." I said

He responded quicker then I thought he would. "Look. I know you're upset about him, but you can't let this sadness rule your life. I miss him too but you've got to move on. You're one of our best ninja."

I thought about this for a moment. He had a point but…everything about being a shinobi reminded me of that day.

There, that's the first chapter, I know its a bit of a cliffhanger and its also really, really short but hopefully I can get chapter 2 up a.s.a.p.

Remember to review and maybe you could give me a few suggestions for either a new story or this one.

Thanks for taking your time to read.
