Once Upon a Dream
Once upon a dream, there was a boy. A boy with so much of head of him. So much that the world needed. Yet, … the villagers never saw the hero he was. He was forced to play the fool. The fool who was stupid and weak. The fool who had to save his "friend". The fool who had to make a promise he never wanted to make. He smiled on the outside, while he died on the inside. He envied the Akatsuki, who could be the real them, while he couldn't.
All he ever wanted was for someone to … see the real him. Not even Iruka sensei and old man hokage knew. It wasn't to be hokage. It never was. He had to say it was because it was expected of him. No one saw the real him in till he died. Killed by that Uchiha's hands. How sad and pathetic. The boy, now what some would call a man even if he was only 16, looked into Sasuke's eyes and told him that he never wanted to save him. The shock on Sasuke's face was quite amusing.
The man watched his funnel in spirit from a tree branch. The grandma read what his TRUE feelings and thoughts were that he wrote in a black cover journal. He figured when he died, the damned villagers should know who he really was. Everyone who attended was quite surprised about what he really thought. As the rain started and the funnel ended, he watched as his TRUE love, Hinata, touched his headstone and whispered, "Once upon a dream, I saw we would marry and lived together. I guess we couldn't be together in this war damned ninja world."
The heart broken man jumped down and wrapped his arms around the shaking girl's shoulders. Whispering softly, he said," A dream is just that. A dream. And, a dream has to end sooner or later." Hinata smiled. "Thank you…Naruto."
Once upon a dream a true hero died because no one heard his cry.
