BIMH: Another one-shot songfic! This one is "My friend of Misery" by one of the best metal bands; Metallica! Told in Sasuke's POV. Even though the song doesn't seen like a couple song, I always try to incorporate some NaruHina in it. Besides that, Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I benefit in no way from this fic except for being able to get reviews from you. Naruto is not mine nor is this amazing song.
My Friend of Misery
A dark haired boy stood there as his comrade, the annoying blonde ninja Naruto, ran around yelling, "Just all of you wait, I'll be Hokage! You'll see!" Ugh. Thought Sasuke, That dobe is always a broken record.
You just stood there screaming
Fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most
The sound of your voice must soothe you
He just kept talking about it. Doing it was another story though. Though most said he'd never make the position, he ignored them.
Hearing only what you want to hear
And knowing only what you've heard
There was only a few who actually believed he could do it. Mainly the Hyuuga Heiress who watched him, but he never returned the stare. He wasn't able to extinguish love from friendship, mostly because no one has ever openly loved him like a parent. Sasuke smirked.
You you're smothered in tragedy
You're out to save the world
Though he never admitted it. Naruto was miserable in every aspect of the world. Sasuke could sense this. His return to village made Naruto happy, but the feeling was short lived, after all Sasuke took away the only person who motivated Naruto to bring him back. He started getting more and more depressed, earning him his new nickname from Sasuke, Misery.
Misery
Naruto always took the hits for his friends.
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
Even Sasuke knew never to obsess over the big picture, after he killed his brother anyways.
There's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery
Many just left him to dream, hoping he would fail, because they only saw him as the demon he held.
You still stood there screaming
No one caring about these words you tell
My friend before your voice is gone
One mans fun is another's hell
He knew he had to be tough. He knew it was wrong to let him get little help from him, being a strong ninja, he could help him in many ways, teaching him all sorts of jutsu to help him get where he wanted, but he knew there was someone else that was going to help him in more ways than he would.
These times are sent to try mens souls
But something's wrong with all you see
You you'll take it on all yourself
Remember, misery loves company
When Naruto realized his true feelings toward the Hyuuga heiress, her father refused, challenging him in every way to prove his worth to him, making him withstand the brunt of every hit placed upon him.
Misery
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery
There was so much pain inflicted upon him. He still screamed and ran headfirst at every challenge, proving once again he could best the old man. Eventually, he laid off him so he could be with his love.
You just stood there screaming
My friend of misery
Only two years later was his dream realized, and he was titled the Seventh Hokage (Because Danzou is the sixth in the manga.) And no longer could he sense any misery on him. Just happiness and joy.
"Well good job Misery," said Sauske, watching in the distance, "but I guess I'll go back to calling you dobe now."
AN: What did you think? It wasn't the best thing I made, but it would still be nice if you reviewed, so please do so down there! Even an anonymous review would help. Flames are accepted, just as they're not stupid stuff like NaruSaku Rules! F*** NaruHina! Those will be deleted on the spot.
