Why Is it dark in here?
I'm scared to hear all those voices.
Inside my head.
They are screaming at me from hell.
Their insanity could bring me to death.
I can't give up on myself
and let them win this war.
Why! I'm so tired of this life.
So tired of fighting this battle.
I just want to let go and drift away.
Close my eyes completely.
Take a deep breath of air.
As this was my last breath.I will sink into unconsciousness. I can't there is you!, I need?

The hidden leaf village was not in peace. A gusty wind keeps blowing from every direction. Howling sounds of night creatures can be heard from the forest. Trees were rattling their branches back and forth. Shadows from every corner can be seen. Blood stain slowly reappeared painting the streets with red. Vendors began to close their shops early. Parent's reading a bedtime story to their children to let their imagination to soar. Lovers hiding within the darkest shadows.
Choji P.O.V
I was munching on a bag of chips. There she was the woman, I was falling over heels. Ino Yamanaka was walking beside me. I couldn't stop admiring her beauty. Her hands were hugging her waist. I can't tell her body was shivering from the cold air. I was walking her home after we came back from a 3-day mission.
Shikamaru was heading towards Hokage monuments to report to Lady Tsunade about the mission. I noticed that village was too quite. I was wondering why the shops were being closed early. When I looked up into the sky it was a pitch black no stars were out. The wind was blowing from every direction. I can tell there was going to be a heavy thunderstorm coming. All the sudden lighting strike with madness.
Making a loud noise bang, Ino quickly jumps into my strong arms. As I rush quickly towards her parents flower shop. I can feel her sharp nails digging into my skin. Every time a loud bang was heard. A small whispered came out from her mouth. "Choji I'm scared don't let me go!" she said. My love, I whispered in her ear everything well be okay. Nothing to be afraid of, I won't let you go.
I give her my word. In return, she gives me a small smile. The sound of her heart beating can be heard inside my ears. I always had feelings for her since the first day, I say her. I was scared to confess my love for her. One of this day's when I have enough courage, I will confess to her.
Ino P.O.V
I can feel his strong arms embracing tight, I can feel his body heat close to mines. I wanted to confess my feelings for him. But...I was afraid to be rejected by him. He gives me his word not to let me go. I felt like a coward afraid of lighting. When I heard him whispering into my ear everything will be okay love. That brought a smile to my lips.
When I felt his hot breath touching my ear. It sends shivers all over my body. I felt bad when my sharp nail dug into his skin. Every time I heard a loud bang coming from the lighting bolts. I made myself more comfortable in his chest. His heart was playing a soft beat to my ears, that rock me to sleep. After a couple of minutes have past after I feel asleep in his arms.
He gently began to caress my left cheek with his fingertip for me to wake up. I slowly rubbed off the sleepiness from my eyes. As I slowly open my eyes. I notice that we were in front of my parents flower shop. He gently placed me down on my two feet. Thank you Choji, I said for carrying me home. "Your welcome Ino," as he blushes. I wave goodbye to him as, I walked inside. As I saw him disappeared in a different direction.
Shikamaru body was tired and broken down. His body was shutting down. Imagine yourself walking for three days without stopping. Just 15- to 30-minute break here and there. His body was asking for some rest and for food. As he dragged his body all they way up the stairs. As soon as he reached the Hokage door.
He was surprised that it was still open. Shikamaru slowly pulled the door wide open as he walked inside. He gives out a small yawned as he continues his way to Lady Tsunade office. "This is troublesome," he said. "I should be in a warm bed after a good meal," Shikamaru said.
Shikamaru was standing in front of Lady Tsunade office door ready to knock. When he felt the door hit him hard on his face. His body made a loud thud sound when it landed hard on the cold floor. Shizune was shocked to see Shikamaru knock out cold on the floor.
Shizune walked quickly were Shikamaru body was laying, she kneel down next to him. She began to use her medical skills to check on any broken bones. She gently lifted his head to check on any head injuries, as she moved his head to the right and then left. Shizune whispered into the air "no bones are broken." "His face is a little bruised," Shizune said. After a couple of minutes have passed.
Shikamaru began to open his eyes slowly as he noticed that Shizune was looking directly into his face. "What? happened" Shikamaru shouted. Shizune cleared her voice to answer Shikamaru question. "I'm really sorry Shikamaru for hitting you with the door!" Shizune shouted.
"Shikamaru I'm going to do some simple exercise, to make sure your vision is working" Shizune explain. Shikamaru gives her a small nod.
"Shikamaru can you followed my finger" Shizune whispered. As her finger moved to his right and then left. Shikamaru eyes just followed her finger from one side to another. And then Shizune finger went up and then down.
Shikamaru eyes went up and then down. "Okay that went perfectly well" she gives him a smile. "Shikamaru paid attention to Shizune, as she taps on her shoulder how many fingers," I'm holding Shizune shouted. Shikamaru answer "you are holding three fingers" he responded. "That right" Shizune give him a small nod. "Can you tell me what happen? Shikamaru, I'm testing for memory lost" she said.
I and Choji and Ino came back from a three-day mission. We were sent to escort Temari back to the sand village. It"s been more than an hour since we arrived back to Konoha. Choji walked Ino to her parent's flower shop. I told Ino and Choji, I'm going to report to lady Tsunade about the mission was a success. I was standing in front of the door ready to knock when all the sudden, I was being hit with the door he said. "I'm sorry about that!" Shizune apologizes again.
Lady Tsunade came rushing out of her office when she heard the loud sound. "What happen here?" she said. "Shikamaru was knocked cold by the door." "It was an accident, I didn't know he was standing in front of the door" Shizune explain.
Lady Tsunade walked towards Shikamaru "give me your hand" she shouted at him. With a mighty pulled Shikamaru was lifted from the floor. "What? can I do for you Shikamaru" she give him a smiled. Shikamaru responded, "I'm here to inform you that the mission was a success from escorting Temari back home," he said. " Did you run into any trouble?"
Lady Tsunade asked. "No, my Lady" Shikamaru responded back. "Shikamaru you are dismiss go home," Lady Tsunade said. Shikamaru slowly dragged his feet again his body was aching from the fall. As he walked these halls again they were death silent. As he made his way out to breath fresh air. Slowly he walked down the stairs as he reached the final step. He walks towards the Nara compound.
Due to the thunderstorm, the hospital lights began to turn on and off. "What going on did Lady Tsunade forget to pay the electric bill?" Sakura asked. All the sudden Sakura give out a small jump. When she heard the sound of thunder and lighting. She wrapped her small hands around her waist. To comfort herself from being scared. Inner-Ayaka whispered inside Sakura mind.
"It's okay It only a thunderstorm and lighting Sakura" Inner- Ayaka said. "I'm still scared," Sakura said. Since Sakura was little she was afraid of lighting. Sakura shift at the hospital just started. She was dress in her white nurse uniform from the right corner closed to her right breast. A small red cross design representing medical.
Her face was covered by a white ninja masked. Some white long female tabi shoes, that had cherry blossom design. White knee high stockings. Her pink hair with black highlights was long and three braids on each side and pull back into a ponytail. "This going to be a long night" she whispered.
The hospital was silent some of the patient were half sleep. As others were being seen by other nurses and doctors. Sakura legs were shaky she couldn't walk through those long halls. She needs to continue with her routine, to roam around the hospital checking everything on her list. She knew that Naruto was staying in the hospital. This brought a smile to her lips. "When I'm done checking out my list", I will check on him" she shouted.
The second level of the hospital in room 218 Uzumaki, Naruto was connected to a heart monitor. On his right hand, he was connected to a medical device as he receives IV Fluids. His mouth was covered by a breathing masked. His body was battered and his face was bruised.
He had a few cuts from a sword on his stomach. He was a total mess it looks like he just came out from a tornado. Lady Tsunade sends Naruto on a Rank S mission to Sunagakure. To deliver a forbidden scroll to Gaara-Sama. When he was attacked by Sasuke before he arrived at Suna. Sasuke and Naruto were punching and kicking. With a mighty punch to Sasuke, stomach air escaped through his lungs.
He was gasping for air. Sasuke didn't know that Naruto training with Sakura. Sasuke returns the same punch to Naruto stomach. And with another mighty punch hit him on his face. Naruto gives out a growl and he used his right leg to kicked him. With a loud thud, Sasuke body hit a tree.
The sounds of broken bones were heard. Naruto ran with his sword to slash Sasuke. Sasuke pulled out his Kusanagi when he saw Naruto running towards him with his sword. With a force of his sword, he slashes Naruto on the stomach. Naruto blood stains the ground, he was not going to give up. Sasuke used Chidori to attack Naruto, but he was stopped with a Rasengan. And everything went black for both of them. Naruto was found by Kakashi and a medical Anbu he was brought back to Konoha on a stretcher. Kurama gives out specific orders that he will attend his son medical needs. He was experienced on medical skills.
On one of the chairs was his father Kurama in a demonic human form. His nine tails switch back and fourth. His eyes were crimson red as he looked at his son. His fangs were sharp ready to tear, the flesh of Sasuke.
Kurama called his wife Kushina through his metal link. A conversation between a husband and a wife went back and forth.
"Kushina my dear were are you?" he said.
"I'm right here! in the demon world sweetie" she replied.
" Kurama did something happen?" to Naruto she question.
"Yes! dear," he replied.
Where are you?!" Kurama she shouted at him.
"I'm at Konoha hospital kushina", "okay! I'm coming over dear."
"Kushina before you! appear yourself, can you bring the medical kit" Kurama said.
A poof sound was made Kushina was standing next to her husband Kurama. Her long red hair was wrapped into a ponytail. She was dress in a white female ninja uniform. On the back, it had her clan symbol the Uzumaki. She was wearing a long green skirt on the right-hand corner had a small orange fox.
She was wearing long black female tabi shoes. Her face was covered with a white ninja masked. The only thing that was being reflected was her violet eyes. kushina give a small kiss to her husband on the cheek. She whispered into his ear "Kurama where!? is Naruto", as she hand him the medical kit. "Turn around Kushina Kurama whispered into her fox ear, as he pointed toward the hospital bed." "Oh, my baby what happen?" as she gives him a couple kiss all over his face, muah, muah, muah.
Kurama answer to her question he was on a mission and he was attacked by rogue Sasuke. "Sasuke she growls, I will kick your ass all the way to the gates of hell." Kurama just laughs at his wife comment. "Kurama is not funny I'm serious!" "I'm sorry! about that" kushina he said. Kurama began to remove everything out, from the medical kit. A black stethoscope he gives it to his wife kushina. Peroxide, cotton ball, medical tweezers, clear gloves, disinfecting wipes and Suture thread with a needle kit.
He places the medical items on top of a small removable table. "Let" begin Kushina," Kurama said. "Were are going to perform a small surgery on Naruto stomach," Kurama said. "Okay! Kurama I'm ready to begin kushina" yelled back. Kushina placed the black stethoscope inside her fox ear. She begins to listen to her son heart beat. Kurama grabbed the medical tweezers to grabbed a small cotton ball. And then he open the bottle of peroxide, to dipped the cotton ball.
He used a disinfecting wipe to clean the wound and removed some dry blood. When Naruto arrived at the hospital, Kurama used his chakra to stop the bleeding. He slowly dabs Naruto stomach with the cotton ball. When he was finished he tosses the small cotton ball into the garbage can.
And then he picked up the suture thread and needle. He feeds the suture thread through the needle. Before the surgery, Kushina gives her son a shot. He was sedated with pain medicine before his father began the surgery. Kushina grabbed two clear gloves and she put them on her husband hands.
When Kushina was done Kurama slightly touch his son stomach. The needle and thread went in and out. With a surgical scissor, he cut the suture thread. Kushina was wiping her husband forehead after he was done. He placed everything back in the medical kit. And he threw away his medical gloves. He handed the medical kit to Kushina. Kurama gives a small passionate kiss on his wife's lips. "Kushina thank you for helping out, everything will be okay don't worry, you can go back home," Kurama said. "Okay! dear called me if you need me" kushina wink at him. "I will kushina get some sleep," Kurama said. Kurama winks back. Kushina did a couple of hand seals and she disappeared.
After kushina left Naruto began to sweat bullets his body was drenched. Kurama placed his hand on top of Naruto forehead he was burning up. Kurama quickly went to the small bathroom. His eyes roam everywhere and finally, he found a washcloth and a small bowl.
Kurama fills the small bowl with cold water. He walked out to sit back on his chair. He placed the small bowl on his lap. He began to dip the small washcloth into the cold water. When he was done dipping the washcloth. He twisted the cloth to removed some of the excess water. He began to wipe the sweat from his son's face. After he was done cleaning his sweat.
He dipped again into the water bowl and he rinses it out. And then he placed the wash cloth on top of his forehead to help his fever go down. Naruto body began to shake with fear. All of the sudden he began to "yelled No, no, no please stop!" his mind was playing tricks and showing images of the villagers. And he heard Sakura cries to bring back Sasuke. Kurama had a worry looked "what? going on," he said. Naruto was fighting hard with his demons inside his head. "What gong on?" Naruto screamed inside his subconscious mind.
"Am I going Insane? he shouted.
"Why! do I hear voices inside my head" Naruto scream.
"The only voice I should hear is my father's voice Kurama" Naruto whispered.
"The voices are telling me to kill my only brother that I had," Naruto said.
"Kill, kill, kill, Sasuke before he kills you," the voices said.
"I can hear their demonic voices full of hate and anger," Naruto said.
"Leave this village you demon child," they said.
" you don't belong in this village," the voices said.
"We hate you!" the voices said.
"You're a monster, a murder that kills innocent people "as they pointed a finger at me.
"Leave me alone!" Naruto said.
"Never! we are inside your memories" the voices explain.
We are very deep inside your subconscious mind" the voice said
"You can't get rid of us" they laughed at my face.
Naruto was shedding tears like a river.
"You! and your father is the same cold heart killers."
"That have stabbed their victims to death," the voice said.
"You ripped their hearts out" the shouted with anger.
"You and your father have scratched us with your claws inside are souls," they said with madness.
"Decapitated us with your katanas," the voice said.
You! have cast are defenseless bodies into the gates of hell" they shouted.
"It's not true" Naruto voice quiver in fear.
"You're liars go away" Naruto roar at them.
"I'm a human being," Naruto said.
"I have emotions and feelings," Naruto said.
"I have a heart that beats and bleeds," Naruto said.
"Don't treat me like, I'm a criminal because I'm not insane."
One of the nurse by name kishou made an announcement code black. "Uzumaki, Naruto is having a heart attack!" she shouted out. A neared by nurse and doctor arrived were Naruto was hospitalized.
Naruto heart beat was beating rapidly. He was having a heart attack the heart monitor was going out of control. Kurama used his demon chakra to send shockwaves to Naruto heart. "I'm not going to lose you!" he said. After a couple of minutes has passed Naruto heart was beating normal.
Kurama wiped his sweat "that was close" he said. When the nurse and doctor arrived Kurama had everything under control. So he shunned them away with the movement of his hand. Naruto continues to fight those voices his eyes were still closed. His face was moving from one side to another. Kurama was in front of his face. He was slapping him. Sounds of slapping were made. "You can fight them, my son, don't give up he spoke through their link." Naruto snapped out of his subconscious he slowly open his eyes.
He saw his father looking at him. Naruto was going berserk he started pulling out the connection from the heart monitor. He pulled out the IV needles from his skin. Kurama gives out a loud growl "Narutoooo what wrong with you!?" he asked. "What got you upset my son?" he asked. "Where those voices trigger your memory," Kurama said.
He got up quickly to get dressed in his ninja uniform. His attired was a long orange sleeves shirt, with orange ninja jacket. He was wearing a blue drawstring ninja pants. On his back he carried, a small katana with the blade double dipped coated in shining silver. With a symbol of an orange fox representing his father Kurama.
On the handle was laced with a red thick silk ribbon. On his face was covered with an orange ninja masked. His blues eyes were the only thing being reflected. On his feet, he was wearing blue tabi shoes. His blond hair was long with red highlights wrapped into a ponytail. His father was all dress in an orange ninja uniform with long black tabi shoes.
On the back, he also carried a katana with the blade double dip in red. That represent the love that was burning inside for Kushina. On the handle was laced with a black silk ribbon. It had a medium design represent the demon world. His long orange hair with black highlights was pulled back into a ponytail.
Naruto roar with anger he was tossing everything around. He flipped the hospital bed to the side. With a mighty force, Naruto pushes down the heart monitor down. Naruto was "yelling let me out of here!" at the same time his hands, were into a fist they were banging so hard on the window that it crack. Pieces of broken glass shattered all over the floor. Some of the shattered pieces of glass cut his face.
The loud sound echo through the walls of the hospital that scared Sakura. "What going on?" she said. "No, no, no don't tell me is Naruto" she shouted. Naruto jumps out the window doing a backflip and he landed with both feet on the ground. Kurama did the same a backflip, his feet landed on the ground.
When he was stable Kurama chased after Naruto. Screaming behind him "where are you going? my son" he asked. He responded to his answer, I'm bringing back Sasuke death or live back to Sakura. "I would do anything for her happiness" he shouted to his father. "How many times have you risk your life to rescue him." "Leave him alone Kurama scolded" at Naruto.
Naruto heard his father scolding him. "But...but father he is my friend and I'm bringing him back to Sakura. "Naruto his father growl at him he is not your friend he is are enemy know," he said. "yeah! I know dad but...I'm doing it for...her" Naruto responded back. With a fierce voice, Kurama shouted back at his son.
"Listen son I' know it's a promise to bring back Sasuke, you're just wasting your time, he doesn't want to came back to Konoha," Kurama said. "You're blind like a bat my son to see the truth in front of you," Kurama said. "You're deaf to listen to Sasuke words, he does not want to come back Kurama roar with madness" as he continues to followed Naruto.
"Fuck you! furball Naruto flips his finger at his father, don't insult me" he said. Kurama eyes became more crimson with a fierce voice he gives out a big roar that the earth beneath him shakes. Naruto was trying to sustain his balance not to fall. His father took a couple of steps forward with a mighty smack he hit his son on the back of his head. "Don't you ever insult your father," he said. As Naruto whimpered in pain and he lowered his head in shame. "Sorry! dad" Naruto responded. "I don't know what? made me snap" Naruto, said. "Will you forgive me father" Naruto looked into his crimson eyes. "Yes! I will forgive you, but...next time ...I will ask your mother to give you a good beating.
Naruto just swallows he was afraid of his mother wrath. "Noooooo! father, not mother wrath" Naruto voice quiver with fear. Kurama gives an evil grin he loves to make him quiver when it came to his mother wrath. Naruto spoke to his father are you going to help me. Kurama just rolled his eyes as he whispered inside his mind. My idiot son didn't listen to what?" I said. "Yeah! Naruto I'm not leaving you" he said. Your life is very important to me." "I will help you to bring him back, I' don't want to lose you!"
The same nurse by the name kishou she was Sakura Nurse assistance. She was making another announcement "Uzumaki, Naruto has gone berserk be careful, he can be armed and dangerous" she said "Stayed away from his hospital room this considers a life threaten to all staff members" she said.
Sakura ignored the announcement she was already closed to Naruto room. Sakura put on her thinking face. "What made Naruto go berserk?" Sakura asked herself. She heard what Naruto said and she shed a couple of tears. "Narutooooo please come back, I love you! forget Sasuke", Sakura yelled through the broken glass. Sakura falls into the ground. She crying so hard.
She begins to punish herself by slapping her face. "It's your fault Sakura Naruto got out of control" she shouted to herself. "To bring Sasuke back for your happiness," Ayaka said. "I'm sorry! Sakura" responded to her Inner-self Ayaka. "I will make things better for Naruto" she give herself a smile. "What happens if Naruto brings back Sasuke" Inner-Ayaka shouted. "I give up on Sasuke a long time ago" Sakura responded. "It was a crush plus Sasuke never responded to my love, she said." "He said I was annoying!" Sakura yelled with anger.
"My feelings have changed, I don't love him anymore," Sakura whispered into the air. Sadly Naruto didn't hear her he was already out of Konoha with his father Kurama. But Kurama fox ear did listen to the conversation.
I hear voices in my head
They council me
They understand
They talk to me
You got your rules and your religion
All designed to keep you safe
But when rules start getting broken
You start questionin' your faith
I have a voice that is my savior
Hates to love and loves to hate
I have the voice that has the knowledge
And the power to rule your fate
I hear voices crying
I see heroes dying
I taste blood that's drying
I feel tension rising
I hear voices in my head
They council me
They understand
They talk to me, they talk to me
They tell me things that I will do
They show me things I'll do to you
They talk to me (talk to me, talk to me, talk to me)
They talk to me (talk to me, talk to me, talk to me)
An: This story is a little different because it face the reality what happens in a real world. Full of pain and hate. People lose their minds when they lose everything they had. Love, hope, a family death, faith, and depression are among those things. But there is always something that brings you back. Loved ones are there to support you all the way. I wrote this story based on a song that I was listening to a hear voices by Rev Theory. Naruto mind got out of control by hearing voices inside his head. Something made his mind to trigger. Before he ends up being a prisoner of his own mind. It reaches the counsel ears they want to lock him up in a mental hospital. His grandmother Lady Tsunade said's no. His only way out is the love of Sakura and a arrange marriage into the Namikaze, Uzumaki, and the Senju clan. There be other pairings. This not a Sasuke and Sakura story. It's a Naruto and Sakura love story. And this, not a harem story. The rating is M because there some fighting scenes, gore, violence, cursing, sexual themes and some lemons and adult content.
