I do not own Naruto
I do not own the song Shattered Dreams by Johnny hates Jazz as well as Naruto all I ask is that you please ignore the words, but think more of the feeling behind them…
Two dreams…
There was a time when a youth named Sasuke Uchiha had two dreams after his family was killed. It was a brief time in which he which he had the two. And slowly as he got to know them one dream began to fight the other.
Especially because of them…his brother…and his friend…
So much for your promises
They died the day you let me go
Caught up in a web of lies
But it was just too late to know
His first dream that he had, was to avenge his family's deaths. He loved his mother, his father, everybody in his family with all his heart.
But when he had come home that night…his world was shattered to pieces. His older brother…his older brother had killed them all.
Why did you do it Itachi?
Why did you kill Mother?
Why did you kill Father?
Why did you make me hate you? Why did you make me want to kill you? You were my idol, my hero! I wanted to be like you! So why did you do it big brother? Why?
I thought it was you
Who would stand by my side
The pity was next, all that pity he couldn't handle as a result of what his brother had done. He had stalked off in a fit of temper, desiring to be alone. Needing to distance himself from thos ewho would care about him in case Itachi came back.
Still, that's when the blonde started making himself known to him. He was determined to beat me? Why me?
And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
He graduated from the ninja academy, cold and lifeless as he should be. He can't create any bonds after all. But why is it that even though he does not show it, when he finds one of his teammates is the soon to be blonde, why does he want to smile?
Hey you better not drag me down dobe…
You said you'd die for me
His meeting with his teammates and new sensei Kakashi is interesting. He asks what his dreams are as well as the others. He of course tells him that he wishes to kill a certain someone.
Once again he fights the urge to smile as the blonde one, he now knows as Naruto, speaks up and yells that his dream is to become Hokage.
Woke up to reality
And found the future not so bright
I dreamt the impossible
That maybe things could work out right
He is stunned as Sakura and Kakashi tell him of the battle naruto did to protect his comatose form against Haku. The blonde dobe had did all that? To save him? He wants to say thank you, but does not. Instead for some odd reason he finds himself challenging his teammate to be stronger.
You wish you could beat me!
I thought it was you
Who would do me no wrong
The beginning of the Chuunin exams maybe is when his second dream started. Watching Naruto fight off that giant snake without any fear was incredible. He inspired him to be stronger! Is it possible for the dead last to do that?
He began to dream of a strong friendship with the blonde haired youth. One where the two fought side by side accomplishing everything together, like he had once imagined he and Itachi would when he was a child. But that's also when he was cursed…
My will power will help me fight the seal off?
And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
It's now the second half of the exams and the Sound and Sand is invading his home. He is sent to chase after Gaara, and the blonde follows him. But as he tells his new found friend to run, he is surprised as the blonde does not.
Especially after watching how close he comes to dying at the hands of the Sand ninja.
From this empty heart
When did you get strong Naruto? How did you learn how to summon? Why is it you could beat Gaara and I could not? Am I not supposed to be stronger then you? Am I not supposed to be the best and have you fight by my side?
I thought it was you who you'd die for love
He struggles now with his dreams they fight for control in his mind. Before the second half of the exam his brother had come and used his weapon on him. That eye…it hurt.
How it hurt…he remembers the pain…
But as he watches the dobe approaching, he remembers the happiness as well.
So why does the pain of loss linger in the back of his mind?
And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
He left Konoha…
That pain and the loss he was feeling wa soverwhelming those brief moments of happiness he had felt with his friend. His closest friend…that dobe…Naruto.
Now he faces him in the Valley of the end…he is unconcious…he is vulnerable.
He walks away…
Oh no no no - you said you'd die for me
Oh oh, oh oh, die for me
So much for your promises
Sasuke Uchiha once had two dreams…
One is stronger now inside him, but the other lingers…
"When I am with you I wonder…is this what it means to have a brother?
