POST IT NOTE [Green: If I owned Naruto, There would be no such thing as straight pairing and Gaara would live off of cookies… In that "If you touch my cookies I kill you." kind of way.

POST IT NOTE [Yellow : I don't know if I just want to keep this short and sweet or if I'll post more, But I guess it's up to you as the reader, if you like it, Good for me.. If you don't how can I improve?

Contrary to popular belief.

Light sprinkled through the trees leaving speck of softened grass on the earth below, a gentle breeze brushed strands of blonde hair into its hands. The wind slowed for a moment, freezing as if to observe the figure at ease against the tree.

Suddenly the breeze died, Petrified closing around the boy at a slow deadly rate. Blood stained the boy's lips, contrasting against the even skin on his face. Dirt caked beneath his finger tips, mixing with the blood on his closed hands. Blue eyes rested half open, tears smudging blood, making marks like rain on the boy's coat.

Silence

A hollow laugh tortured the air, daring the wind to blow, causing the birds to fly up in alarm, all fell silent again.

"Everybody knows your name idiot." The voice echoed in a harsh way against the trees that the light no longer dared touch, and the wind no longer dared shake.

"Everybody knows the name of Uzumaki Naruto, the greatest warrior of our time." It mocked, the voice approached in the form of the raven haired Uchiha. "The same Uzumaki," He began. "That's here now, in the dirt, no one to help him now, No one to wipe away his tears."

The Uchiha laughed again. "How about I spare him a chance?" He asked extracting a knife, sending in the blonde's direction.

A low thud rang through the woods, Silence as its reply, no one for miles around to hear the tortured grunts as the blonde pulled the knife from the tree that supported his weight.

No one to see the Uchiha stretch exposing his heart, No one to see the Raven headed boy grin, No one to hear the blonde's tears.

"I'm not like you." The blonde wheezed, summoning the last of his strength to toss the knife away. "I won't hurt you." He grinned, his final grin. The last of hope flooding from his body.

"Pitiful." The Uchiha spat, turning his back on the blonde.

"Maybe.." The blonde coughed, blood bubbling in the back of his throat, "But now…" He grinned. "You have your power."

The wind rushed again through the tress as the blonde opened his eyes for one last time,

"Teme." He whispered, The way he would have if it was another day in Konoha, just another day; When things weren't complicated. When Sasuke was forced to treat Naruto to Ramen every night and Kakashi sensei was late for morning lessons, and missions because of his book, and when Sakura spent her time determined to get Sasuke to fall in love with her.

When they where all friends,

And revenge hadn't taken its toll.

Teme

Just like that,

The last word before the blonde closed his eyes and lay back against the tree chest rising and falling peacefully for a whole minute. One whole minute before the world froze, and the blonde would never rise and preach his shinobi way again.

Just like that.
