No Longer Alone
I had an idea pop into my head and thought I would see how I could get it to turn out. Naruto's POV.
I've always been alone, even before I could remember. The reason for the loneliness I feel is still unknown to me. No family, no friends. What did I do to be cast out? Why does everyone look at me with detest? No one believed in me. No one at all. Everyone shut me out; they could care less about my existence.
But there is one who believes in me. He was the first, Iruka sensei. I remember hearing him talk with Mizuki sensei about the nine tailed fox spirit that attacked our village twelve years ago. Mizuki said monsters only care for their personal gain, at first I thought that's how Iruka sensei felt. That he agreed, and he did. But then he said that I wasn't like that, that I was one of a kind.
I have a dream; to be the greatest hokage in my village. Then people will have to respect me and will have to look up to me and treat me like I'm somebody. Someday I will be respected! I'll see to it. I once told someone that it wouldn't be easy to make your dreams come true. It takes work. But in order to get that far I would need the help of others. I've always done things on my own and didn't need anyone's help. Training by myself to get myself ready to become a ninja always came first. That was important to me and was my first step to becoming hokage.
My group is squad seven, which contains Sasuke, Sakura and my sensei Kakashi. Sasuke's such a show off. All the girls love him. It's always "Sasuke, Sasuke." I have no idea what girls see in him. He's always pretending to be the hero, like on our journey to the Land of Waves.
Sakura, my pink haired beauty. I was glad to have her in my squad, but the fact that Sasuke is in our group doesn't help me. She's always trying to get him to notice her and always ignoring me. There is something else Sakura has, a fire hot temper. Never say anything about her forehead! She's the sharpest mind in our group.
Kakashi sensei, our sensei of course. He's cool. Without his wisdom, where would we be? When he has to, he'd put his life before ours, in order to protect us with his life.
Through some missions, I've had to learn to work with a team. I'm used to being alone. At times, I realized that I would have gotten nowhere without my squad. Also, I remember when Sasuke put his life on the line for me. He saved me. I didn't ask for him to, but he just did it. I can also remember what he said to me when I caught him before he hit the ground.
"Don't let your dreams die!"
Then I remembered he had a dream. Sakura has a dream. Just about everyone has a dream. And on the countless missions, I've realized that more people are starting to believe in me. Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi are starting to believe in me. They've become my friends, my family. Now that I think about it, I'm no longer alone. More people are starting to respect and accept me. I don't have to go on alone and shut out from the world.
I am no longer alone.
This is my first Naruto fic and I would like to know how I did. I haven't seen many epi's so I'm attempting it and I'm buying the uncut version and I have the 1st and 2nd. Let me know if anything was out of character so I can work on it with the little knowledge I have of the show. I think Hinata and the 3rd Hokage believed in him, but I didn't put them in because I don't think he knew. Please review and thank you.
