Naruto,

I'm not sure where to begin this. If you were here I know you would tell me I should start at the beginning. But I'm not entirely sure where that is. Should it be the day that we all started at the academy? Should it be our first A-rank mission as Genin? Should it be the day I realised I wasn't strong enough? Wasn't good enough? Should it be the day that I finally felt for the first time that we were all a team… that we were inseparable? Or should it be the day that our world began to fall apart? The day where the cracks began to show in what we thought was our perfect little world?

Or should it be right now while I'm writing this? As I'm sitting here on this bench waiting… I know you don't understand and for that I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I had to leave and I'm sorry that I can't tell you where I am. I can't guarantee that we will ever see each other again and that even if we do we will be on the same side. I can't make that promise Naruto, you know me, and I won't make promises I can't keep.

But Naruto I'm not sorry for choosing this path. I'm not sorry for having to make the hard decision to leave… because Naruto you of all people must understand that it wasn't a hard decision at all… decisions like that well they never are when they come to the people we love. So no I'm not sorry. I'm not sorry that I love him and I'm not sorry for all the horrible things I will have to endure and do from this moment forward. I hope you can understand that… I hope that if you get anything out of this letter it's that.

I want you to remember the happy times we all had together. Hold onto them. But also let yourself grieve Naruto because I know how much our leaving will hurt you. Don't bottle that pain away… don't hide it. You need to give yourself time to feel that pain. You need to let yourself drown in it Naruto. Use it to grow stronger.

I hope one day this can all be over… I hope one day we can come home. But for now Naruto you need to let us go. We can no longer walk the same path, I guess Sasuke and I took a wrong turn somewhere along the way.

I know nothing I say will completely be able to make you understand, not really. So here I am being selfish again, trying to salvage what little there is left of our friendship before I go. I want to try and give you that because the next time we see each other it might be on opposite sides of a battlefield.

There are things you don't know about me Naruto. Things I never told you… things about Sasuke and I. So I guess that's where I will begin.

I guess I'll start by telling you how I met Sasuke Uchiha.


A/N - Not sure where this is going lol just a little idea I had and threw together this prologue in like ten minute because I can never find enough stories that have this kinda storyline so I just decided screw it I'll write my own even if its shit! This could end up being a few chapters long or turn into something much longer, who know? So anyway I don't own these characters or anything else blah blah blah you get it.

Sorry about any grammar or spelling I'm not going to pretend I'm remotely good at shit like that and I don't have time for a Beta reader.

So review and let me know if your interested in me continuing this. And no the whole thing isn't going to be letters don't worry!
