Prologue
Naruto had finally had enough. It was time for him to go. As he sat there on his bed, nursing his most recent marks, it became clearer and clearer to him. He was tired of crying all night because of them. He was tired of their hateful looks, their scornful words, and most of all their fist and hands. He got out of his bed and began to strangely clean his apartment. When everything was in good shape, he sat on his bed and, after thinking long and hard, wrote his heart down in the form of a note. When he finished it, he took off his headband, folded it and placed it under the note, which he placed on his bed. With one final look at his home, he quickly left. He silently ran through the town at top speed. Soon he was at the east wall. After checking to see if no one was nearby, he pulled apart a pile of branches, revealing a small hole just big enough for his small for to get through. With no second thoughts, he slipped through the hole and began to run fast. When he was good distance away, he turned around. What he saw caused the tears he was holding to fall freely down his cheeks. The sun was peaking up over the side of the village, lighting up every street and home in its warm glow. The truth hit him harder than before. This was the village he had called home for so many years; the village he was leaving. With one final goodbye to the former home and friends, Naruto ran in a tear blinded fury to any destination his heart wanted him to go to be happy.
It was early morning in the village. Everyone was waking with a fresh start. Two particular teens were sitting in the training fields, waiting for their missing team members. As the minutes ticked by, they began to get worried. Their worry grew when Kakashi appeared in front of them. Kakashi saw the worry in their eyes and motioned for them to follow him. Naruto had done this many times before and they always ended up going to get him. When they reached his apartment, they noticed something strange. All the windows to his apartment were open; something Naruto never did. As they knocked on the door, it surprised them by opening by itself. Once they entered, they knew something was seriously wrong. The whole apartment was clean, and Naruto never cleaned. They decided to inspect some more, but found nothing. Now, the only other room, they haven't entered in his bedroom. It felt strange to enter his room; the one place they have never been. They didn't find anything in the room, until Sakura called them over to the bed. When they reached her, they saw a note in her hand and a headband in the other. They instantly got quiet when she began to read.
Dear Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke,
I bet you guess are wondering where in the hell am I. I know you are, so don't deny it. To tell you the truth, I can't tell you where I'm going because I really don't know. I'm just going. I had to get away from this place. There's only so much hate a boy can take. Now, Sakura and Sasuke, I have to tell you guys the truth. I know you remember the times I came to training and I had a black eye or a cut, or an ugly bruise and I said that I ran into something. I know you all didn't believe me. The reason those marks were really on me is because this village gave them to me. Every single night, I was beat, harassed, or verbally abused. On my birthday, it was worse. I bet you both are wondering why the village would harm a child, I'll tell you. I know you both know about the nine-tailed fox, better known as Kyuubi no Kitsune. Well, guess what, it's in my. I am the container of the nine-tailed fox. Even though I'm not there, I can already see the shock etched on your faces. Also, Kakashi, I would like to thank you, Iruka, Tsunade, and everyone else who made me feel human all these years. Well, I guess that's it. I really need to go. Maybe I might even meet you guys again some day, but for now I'm going to miss you guys. You all were like family to me. Goodbye.
Always and Truly
Naruto Uzimaki
After reading the note several times, Sakura collapsed to the ground, sobbing.
"Why, Kakashi-sensei," Sakura asked, "Why couldn't he just tell us. We would have understood."
Kakashi could say nothing to the crying girl. He felt as if his heart was ripped out. He turned to console Sasuke, only to find Sasuke looking into nowhere with his Sharingan activated. He also noticed that they were spinning rapidly.
'He is very emotional unstable right now," Kakashi thought to himself.
He decided it would be best if he stood back. He watched as Sasuke began to shake. He knew the boy was probably fighting many emotions right now, anger being the first.
'Why did the dobe leave? He wasn't weak. He had to have a valid explanation. He wouldn't just abandon us like this.'
Sasuke felt so confused, hurt, and most of all saddened that his friend has left him and everyone else. He turned around and punched the wall in an effort to keep his emotions in check, but it wasn't working.
'Why, Naruto, why. Why did you leave us? Why didn't you stay? You were my best friend, my only true friend.'
He continued to punch the wall again and again, until he felt something wet roll down his cheek. He stopped and brushed his hands against his face; a tear. He, Sasuke Uchiha, was crying. He hasn't cried since his parents had been murdered, and now he was crying. It felt good. He slowly began to give into the sorrowful feeling as he slid down the wall, crying into knees. He clutched his legs close to him as he let all his emotion show for the first time in years. It felt so right to just let down all his defenses and just cry like this. As Kakashi looked over at both teens, who were shaking and sobbing over the loss of their friend, he had realized that he had failed. He had failed the Third Hokage. He had failed Iruka. Most of all, he had failed Arashi, his sensei, the Fourth Hokage, and most of all, Naruto's father.
