Prologue: My Broken Heart

It has been seven long years since Uzumaki Naruto had returned Uchiha Sasuke in the village of Konohagakure. The Sasuke retrieval squad had succeeded, no casualties but only injuries among Naruto's peers.

The fight between the two had been legendary and had been recorded within the libraries of the village, not only that but news about the battle reached the ears of other countries out the borders of Konoha. Like he promised, the young Uzumaki returned the Uchiha to Sakura. The only reason he did it was to make Sakura happy, and to bring his brother home.

During this time Tsunade and Jiraiya had revealed to him about his true identity. At first he was shocked to finally know about who his father was and why the Kyuubi no Yoko was sealed within him, he was filled with rage about what his father did, but finally understood what he was trying to do.

Things for 8 of the rookie 9 might have changed, but for the young Uzumaki he had to strive to get stronger, while others easily grew in skill without any obstacles in front of them, Naruto was the only one to obtain pain and suffering wherever he went. Either it was to rest, train, or accomplish a mission he would have to work hard for it.

But for his hard work he was rewarded a place in the high ranks of the ANBU, Earning him the nickname "The Yellow Flash's Legacy". He even acquired his father's jutsus and made them even stronger. Though his dream to be hokage is well underway, he still hasn't won the heart of the young Sakura. But after hearing the news of her secret, things for him has been hard and made him miserable.

Flashback

Few days after being promoted to ANBU, everyone in Konoha bumping in to the blond haired Namikaze congratulated and praised for his actions. And finally finding himself bumping into the love of his life sakura.

"Congratulations Naruto, I am very proud of you" said the pink haired kunoichi.

"Thank you Sakura-chan!" he said ecstatically. "So umm how's Sasuke hmm..?" he curiously asked.

"Oh he's fine, he's on a mission right now" she replied.

"Well in that case, I should try to ask her if she wants to eat out sometime….hmmm", he thought to himself. "So ummmmm…….. Sakura-chan do you ummmm, want to go eat out sometime..?" he asked stuttering. "Besides, it looks like it might rain, we should go indoors." He added.

"Naruto…….there's something I have to tell you….me and Sasuke…..we've been dating for awhile……….we've kept it a secret for awhile but I think Ino, Shikamaru, and some other people know, did you hear it from them as well"

Naruto stood there quietly not saying a word. He felt very different, he very felt cold, and most of all he felt cast aside. His eyes started to shimmer, meaning tears were about to fall from his blue eyes. Clenching his fists he stared at the ground trying to hide his face from the beautiful kunoichi. Words finally muttering they're way out, "yes…….I did, and congratulations."

"So what they said about you and he was true, the rumors……you guys…" He bit his lip. A small drip of blood flowed from his lips, even clenching his fists harder. "how long have you two been together….?"

"For at least 2 and a half years…" she replied.

Sakura knew he took this news at heart, she always knew how he felt about her, and would do anything for her. Even sacrificing himself to bring back her beloved Sasuke back. But as always, her lust and the love for Sasuke had always blinded her from the things that truly matter.

"I'm…..so stupid"Naruto thought.

And At long last the sky started to shed its own tears, as if Naruto's pain had a connection within the sky itself. The sky poured millions of its tears throughout Konoha.

"Naruto…I don't know what to sa-" She was cut off.

"Enough……I've heard enough……………it always was like this………no matter what I do………it always goes back to Sasuke" he mumbled sadly. "Sometimes I wonder if that's all you think about……"

"Naruto….."

"No worries…………I mean who would want me anyway………" he said. "Who would want to be someone with a fucking ugly monster like me anyway!!" he shouted in anger.

Ending the conversation he walked home in the rain leaving the girl of his dreams behind. As he walked home he thought of the things he went through for the Haruno. He walked home not dripping with the rain that surrounded the now peaceful village of Konoha, but dripping in the sadness and sorrow he had gone through for Sakura all his life.
