Hey! This is my first story! Enjoy!
The eternal darkness slowly engulfed his soul. The never-ending void that ate at his mind. "Who in the world cares for me? I'm all alone in the world, and they don't care." Naruto thought as he trudged his way home. He entered his apartment, and went straight to bed. Here, where no one would see, he could cry. Here he could drop the cheery act, and reveal what was truly in his mind. "What're the odds of me passing the Genin exams tomorrow? Zero to none!" he quietly said to himself. The pain of being alone was overwhelming, to the point that being alive was too much. Wishing, hoping for it to all end, Naruto pinned his last hopes on becoming a ninja. Finally, he fell asleep; with a single tear sliding done his cheek.
ONE MONTH LATER
"Hey! Wait up!" Naruto ran to keep up with his friends. "In all the world, there really are people who care!" the joy that filled his heart at finally finding people who care, people who didn't hate his very existence was astounding. "Becoming a ninja is more than worth the training! I've never felt so happy to be alive!" he thought back to when he had thought life wasn't worth it. "I'm glad I didn't end it! I'm so glad I decided to keep living!" his heart and mind soared with joy, breathed with happiness, overflowed with love at seeing his team. "I can't wait for today's adventures! And even if it ends bad, every day is still a new one!" running, Naruto excitedly went with his team, his friends, HIS FAMILY, to get their next mission.
