This is my first ever fanfiction so if necessary don't be afraid to flame me, just if you do, do it for a reason, not just that you like to J I expect reviews...

Sasuke is dead. The realization echoed in his mind, as he tried to understand what just happened. Images of the past came and went into his consciousness. Seven the team of three rockery gennins, rush of emotions happiness, the foundation of what he could call the place where he belonged memories of the first bonds in his life severed as the husk before him dead before it even touched the ground. Still the face he saw was that of madness; need to be supreme with eyes filled with dread. If not for the familiarity he would have pitied him, but he couldn't, not him, not the one he cared for, not the one that he promised to bring him back by any cost even his life, he just couldn't.

Blurred eyes meet the ground, knees started to give way for the will that held his body withered all he wanted to close his eyes and stay that way. Nothing made sense anymore. The blood on his hands looked like it stripped everything. All hopes, dreams, desires seamed gone like they had never existed in the first place. The scenery appeared calm and all that disturbed the sight was the wind that swayed his robe and carried a half dead wispier that escaped his mouth "What have I done?" Piercing primal roar etched followed by a red flash and for a split second the night turned into day and the earth shacked before Konoha was engulfed again by the silent night.

His eyes slightly opened but all he saw was a mix of yellow, orange and red. Shouts came from all around. "Die Demon spawn","Unholy beast", "Demon Fox" were some of many that preceded the stone bolts and rotten fruits that came at him. He didn't know what happened or where he was. "Does I matter" was the question he asked himself, he just didn't care anymore. His head swayed at his right at the person that carried him. Raven colored hair was the last thing he saw as the unconsciousness took him again.

Tsunade busted the doors from their sockets as she rushed in the hospital. Like a lion on rampage she rushed to the intensive care where in the hallway was sitting in one of the chairs a beautiful girl with pale lavender eyes that now had a shade of red as tears still ran up the clearly concerned face. Her skin was battered and bruised and her clothes were torn and stained but that couldn't diminish the beauty of her form and stature. Eyes came up noticing the elder woman and she pulled yet another effort to regain her bearings.

"Is it true Hinata, did Naruto ….?"

Hinata only nodded as she started sobbing. Tsunade stayed fixed for a moment and then continued though now her voice was with a large dose of sadness, fear but also with great fondness. "Is he ok?" She mustered as large tears started dripping from her eyes. "I don't know, he has large injuries on his body but the thing I am most worried is how he is holding on after all he'd been trough, it is like his soul is broken" she started crying, her head rose up "Why did this happen to him I don't understand, why !" Tsunade didn't say anything but hugged her and started stroking her hair. "I ….don't know, really…don't....know" she mustered before bursting into tears.

Later that evening The Gondaime Hokage stood in the small hospital room looking out the window and often at the patient lying in the bed. A knock broke her chain of thoughts as a dark haired AMBU member with a white bird mask that had tow stripes descending from the upper right towards the lower left. "Excuse me Hokage but I have some bad news, a mob of villagers raided the Uzumaki's apartment. Unfortunately we came too late and most of his possessions have been destroyed or burned." as he placed a scroll on the floor and then he released the seal. "Kai" a small bag appeared and he continued "This is all that's left." he finished and as she gave him permission he vanished in a gush of smoke. An edge of a book was visible from the opening of the bag she read it at loud "The Legend of the gutsy ninja".

"How I wish you were here Jiraiya".

It started to get dark when Hinata got back to the hospital; she stopped at Ino's flower shop and got a ram of flowers she wanted for Naruto's room. She noticed one of the village elders next to Tsunade as he shouted "That Kyuubi Demon killed the last of the Uchiha, he has to go on trial. I will not tolerate this from you anymore. Even as the Hokage you can't pardon him for his sin!" the old man stated firmly.

"There is nothing I need to pardon, Sasuke was a missing ninja, so he did the only thing he could do to stop him" Tsunade almost lost her control that kept her from beating the old fart to a pulp. Hinata passed the confrontation took off towards Naruto's room.

A large puff of smoke was near the desk was a quill still etched in ink slowly staining its top. And then she froze. The window was open and Naruto was nowhere to be seen. She ran to the table and saw a book that had a letter in it.

Tsunade ran in the room when she herd a scream. She found Hinta on the floor with a book in her hand while I the other was a letter. She read the first words:

"Hinata I am sorry….."

Beyond the village a lone figure clad in robes walked away from Konoha. The hood covered all his facial expressions. His slow but firm pace kept on undiminished.

Mile after mile shined upon only by the dim moonlight. He stopped for a second and the other he was there no more.

A/N : I am a relatively new to publishing stories and I have updated the beginning of a story that stroke me in the … while I was in the middle preparation for my exam (Damn it) and for the matter I want some reviews so that I know/feel about does it swing the right way for you. And before someone smack me for the bitchfest all the tears and the sobbing but remember Sasuke is death it's a sad thing (yea right…) but he mater is they don't care for Sasukes death as for the mental damage it caused Naruto.

All that that can say is that dark times lay ahead for Konoha and a sad little girl (or maybe not so little anymore) has a letter to read…

Please state your piece on mind trough reviews, PMs (and by that I don't mean the bloodlust time of the month where females try to wreck mayhem) or just email me. I know that the opening was short the reason is that it is not completed there will be at least one or two chap for filling the uniqueness of the plot. I am sorry though that the time for the release isn't gona be before the 1st of July (exams and all), unless the inspiration hits me again (reviews help the motivation do its thingy, there is nothing like indifference to put a man down)
