I do not own Naruto despite how much I wish I did.

Also I am not quitting my other story but this came to my mind and I wanted to make sure to write it out quickly. :D

Thanks everyone for the support


Hinata's POV

I looked around me at the rubble with tears in my eyes and shivering from the cold air. I hated myself. Why did I have to be gone from the village on a simple mission when the village was attacked? Why was I the only one left? I looked at all the faces of the villagers and so many familiar faces of my fellow Shinobi. I had been walking slowly through the village for hours now not knowing what to do. I had seen the dead faces of my whole family and almost all of my friends. I wanted to have a proper burial service for everyone but what could I do... It's not like I could bury thousands of bodies by myself. I had considered burning the bodies but to be able to transfer them all to one place was still nearly impossible.

Finally collapsing on the ground I just wanted to stay there and die myself.

"Why?" I sobbed lightly.

I realized who I was kneeling by and looked upon the face of one of my best friends Shino. I decided to check his breathing just in case but was disappointed once again. As soon as I had gotten back I noticed the gates were broken and ran towards Izumo and Kotetsu who were both laying on the ground lifeless I searched frantically for any hint of life in them but found nothing. And like I did with them I did for the first hundred people I came across with no avail. I finally gave up checking everyone I saw but scanned for familiar faces and checked them all. Naruto, Sakura, Father, Hinabi, Neji, Kiba, Shino, Ino, Shikamaru... everyone she had ever held dear lied lifeless on the ground. How was this even possible I asked myself hundreds of times. And only up until 10 minutes ago I had finally let tears fall as the reality of it finally sunk in.

I put my head on Shino's stomach laying beside him and held his limp hand in my own.

"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you... Everyone forgive me." I pleaded while pulling myself closer to the limp body that I was now laying on.

"What am I supposed to do now? My home has been destroyed my friends and family gone. I have no where to go. And even if everyone's gone I don't want to leave my home." I said to myself.

"Shino what should I do? You were always the smart one. You know what I should do right?" I paused like a was waiting for a reply and laughed slightly at my stupidity. I was going crazy. Talking to dead people. I dug into my bag to pull out a kunai.

"Maybe I should just kill myself... What's the point of living if all the people I care about are dead.." I looked at the kunai and at the people around me. And dropped it. They fought for the safety of our home and our people. I need to live. I need to live to see the day that Konoha becomes a home to people again. I reluctantly let go of the cold hand that I had been clinging to and stood up. I had a lot of work to do if I ever wanted to see that day.


I know it is short but it is just the prologue.
