I'm Leaving You Behind
It was nearly midnight in the Village hidden in the Leaves. The guards at the entrance gate were slacking off duty, sleeping peacefully under the little surveillance hut. The only sound in the night was the guards quiet breaths, the owls and other night-life, and the sound of sandals tapping against the stone pathway.
It was a full moon, the moon reflected off a fox kit's hazel eyes, before it ran away under the shelter of a dustbin. The moon also lit up a figure. That moon-lit figure was the body of a teenager, a 17 year old teenage boy, to be exact. His build was muscular, strong biceps, lean shoulders, flexible body. He was fit enough to be a ninja.
This boy had spiky hair in every direction, it was blond, a blonde colour that could match the sunlight. He also had ocean-blue eyes, they looked sad, dilluted and expressionless. His mouth was pulled down into something that looked half-way between a frown and a sad smile. He shifted the weight of a traveling bag onto his other shoulder. he briefly stappoed to re-adjust his shoulder-strap before continueing his long walk again.
At the same time, a teenage girl came out of the Konoha Hospital, the girl must have just finished her night shift. The girl had pleasant cherry-pink hair that stopped a bit beneath her shoulders, she also had stunningly emerald eyes. The pinkette turned and ran towards her house, she didn't want to sleep over her alarm clock in the morning. She decided to take a short cut, one that would take her past the village gates, she lived closeby them anyway.
30 minuetes later the pinkette came across the path that, 4 years ago, a certain raven haired pre-teen had taken to the path towards revenge. The pinkette spotted a flash of stunning blonde hair in the edge of her sight.
The blonde had noticed something bright pink land near to him, not even 5 meters away from him. The pinkette and the blonde turned and looked each other in the eyes. Realisation hit both of them hard in the face.
Sakura noticed the travelling bag. "Naruto? What are you doing?!"
The blonde boy called Naruto looked up gloomily and bluntly said "I'm leaving.".
It too the pinkette a moment to fully process what was just said. "...!!! What?! Why?!" She looked at her teammate with sad eyes.
Naruto briefly looked up at the moon before looking at the gates. Again he spoke bluntly and straightforeward with her. "I've had enough Sakura. I'm outta here."
Naruto began his slow walk again, one foot afther the other, he hadn't gotten that far, he had only gone another 3 meters girl called Sakura was starting to panic, she was going to lose another friend! She wasn't going to let another precious person slip away again!
Tears were starting to well up in her beautiful emerald eyes. "No! You can't leave! The village needs your help!"
The blonde looked up at Sakura straight in the eye, she flinched. Naruto was wearing a ugly expression on his otherwise relaxed features.
Naruto's handsome features pulled themselves into a frown."The village needs me? They need my strength? No, they want Kyuubi's power!"
Sakura looked mortified that he could accuse the village of something like that."Naruto, how could you say something like that?!"
"Because ever since I defeated Pain, people were amazed that that Demon's power could be so handy. Ever since then I've been getting grateful looks, but some of them have jealousy in their eyes. I can tell, they want to help too, and they think that because I'm a Jinchuuriki, I'm helpful and will be in the Hokage's good books. So they also want some of this damned power." Naruto's face turned into a scowl at the end of his little speech, he put dileberate pressure on each sylabble on the word 'damned'.
Sakura's expression changed with every sentence that the blonde spoke. First there was a hint of proudness in her eyes, then it turned to confusion, then suddenly when it got to the 'Jinchuuriki' part her expression turned into one of outrage. Then the hard glaring face turned into one of pure sadness and hate towards the people that made her friend turn out this way.
" You go and have a break Naruto, take a year off or something, I'll sort out the scum that we call 'villagers'." Sakura said in a determined voice.
The blonde looked up at the pinkette, he wore a pure, genuine expression of gratefullness. The quickly took 4 strides and he was right in front of Sakura's face. He quickly leaned down and gently pecked her lips, he straightened himself up and looked down at her. His eyes were twinkeling, there was no doubt that he was going to cry soon.
"Thank you ..." he whispered before he ran off, through the gates and out into the night. The little fox kit from behind the dustbin howled. The pinkette turned towards it and gently picked it up, she looked at it in a motherly way.
"I think I'll call you ... Nato ..." The fox kit gave her a happy little yip.
Sakura smiled, tears ran down her face. "Let's go home ... Nato."
As the pinkette and the new pet fox made their way home, another howl tore through the night, it was a farewell to her, a farewell from Naruto.
