Naruto's Hamlet: The Tragedy of Sasuke Uchiha
Chapter 1: Something Is Not Right
Greetings! And welcome to the first Hamlet and Naruto fanfiction story!
While I began watching Naruto, the story of Sasuke Uchiha reminded me of the play I was doing at the time, and that was Hamlet and as I heard what happened to his family, I got this idea in my head. After all I was Hamlet in my show, and this idea wouldn't leave my head. It's the show, with my own interpretations. If you don't know the story of Hamlet, you will after you read this story.
Also, this is the first time that the main theme is not romance, however, Sasuke is paired with an OC because of my own imagination. For those that don't like OC, don't worry, because it's not the main theme. This has no connection with the original story.
Also, if there is someone who does like this story and wants me to continue, I need at least 6 reviews before I write the next chapter. Sounds fair? Good.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto as much as I want to, but I do own my OC Hitomi, who will be known in another story that I will publish soon. Anyway on with the story!
Something wasn't right in the Hidden Village of the Leaves.
The Uchiha Clan had been murdered. It was said that they had been murdered by bandits, and it was right to think this, as everyone's houses were robbed and not to mention they were cleanly killed. Whoever killed them had did it stealthy, quietly, and did it all in one night. No one could believe the atrocity of this crime. The Uchiha Clan were well liked throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and it shocked anyone that someone would do something as horrible as murder an entire clan that was loved by an entire village. No one quite understood it, and after a month it was soon forgotten after the entire village mourned and soon it was remembered forever, but everyone didn't mourn forever. They went on with their usual lives, and soon it was just a memory.
But fortunately, not all in the Uchiha Clan had been murdered, and the two that survived had been very lucky. And the ones that survived, that meant that their lives were changed forever. One had been named Hokage, the Leader of the Hidden Leaf Village as well as the Leader of the Uchihas, taking his father's place and had also married. He clearly mourned his family but stopped thinking about it, he clearly didn't think much of it anymore, which was understandable as he was a Leader of an entire village including that he was married. The whole thing did not change The other was changed completely, he once a happy and lovable boy who had just turned 16 at the time his family was murdered, and now, he was hateful, he never smiled, never laughed, and more importantly he stayed away from anyone who came near him. He wore black the whole month after his family died, and he had intended to do so for as long as he lived. His family was the reason he had been so alive, and even though most respected his brother, they still looked at him and treated him as if he was someone. And when he walked in and found his entire family murdered, his whole world fell apart, and he's been that way ever since. Come to think of it, he might always be exactly as he is now.
If you have not figured it out yet, the survivors of the Uchiha Massacre were the two sons of the Late Leader of the Uchiha Clan, Fugaku Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha.
Thus begins the story of the two brothers. One trying desperately to keep a secret, the other's soul eaten up with so much grief for his family, that he becomes an avenger, thus destroying himself.
It was a cold and foggy night, some could say it was this foggy because the spirits of the late Hokages were still mourning the loss of the Uchiha Family. If only Sasuke and this air weren't the only ones still thinking about it every minute of every second of every day. It hadn't been sunny ever since that day. And now everyone by this point knew why.
Ever since that day, more security had been ordered around the village by the new Hokage, so that nothing like the Uchiha Massacre ever happened again. It was now close to midnight, and Iruka Sensei had been thinking about the massacre again, and how much the Leader of the Village and of the Uchihas was doing so much to make sure that the horrible tragedy never occurred ever again. He was so stunned when he found that his family had been killed and was doing so much for the village while still dealing with the pain of losing his family. How the Hokage could do it, Iruka Sensei didn't know. He was still worried about the Hokage's younger brother, Sasuke, who probably had more pain of losing his family than the Hokage. It hurt Iruka Sensei to say that, but at school, Sasuke had never been the same. He never paid attention in class, never passed his tests, never studied for them in the first place, and he was in High School now. Everyone in his class had been the same, always passing, and now honestly, he acted as if he didn't even care about anything anymore. He didn't even spend time with anyone of his friends anymore, and the only ones who really seemed to make him the slightest bit happy was his best friend, Naruto and his girlfriend, Hitomi. Which is why Iruka Sensei was alright with Naruto and Sasuke being together in class with his girlfriend as well to seem to cheer him up a little, even though he knew it wasn't possible. The boy just lost his family, and worse the only family he has really had no time for him anymore. And what worried Sasuke's Sensei the most was that Sasuke had been showing signs of being suicidal. But Iruka Sensei still wasn't given up on Sasuke, but the poor boy he was sure would never be the same again.
Iruka Sensei was brought out of his thoughts by the sounds of someone approaching behind him, and immediately his guard was up.
"Who's there?" the voice said in the fog.
It was so foggy, Iruka couldn't see who it was, and that meant he had to be even more careful.
"Identify yourself," Iruka demanded. "How am I to know you're not one of the ones who killed the Uchiha family come back to kill the Hokage?"
"He who always hesitates is lost in darkness forever," the voice said clearly. "Guy Sensei had taught me." And Iruka Sensei now knew who it was.
"Lee?"
"Can't you recognize your own student, Sensei?"
"I'm sorry, Lee, but I can't take any chances. Who knows who would take advantage of this mist?"
"Well Sensei, Guy Sensei cannot take the next watch so I have decided that I will take it for you," Lee said. "Iruka Sensei, you looked tired and not to mention something seems to be on your mind."
"It's just I'm worried about Sasuke," Iruka Sensei said.
"We all are, and he and I were so close and now we don't speak anymore. I wish I could make him feel better but honestly he just lost his entire family. What can you do to help after that happens?" Lee said sadly.
"I don't know. And that's why I'm worried. He's been cutting himself at school, never pays attention, and the only time I've ever seen him happy is when he is with Naruto and Hitomi."
"I understand Sensei, we'll figure something out. Now go and get some sleep."
But then all of a sudden, more footsteps came out of nowhere and soon Lee and Iruka Sensei got on guard once again.
"Who's there? Identify yourselves!" Lee said sharply.
"Naruto Uzumaki! The Future Hokage!"
"Naruto, is there no one else with you?"
"I thought Kiba was right behind me," Naruto said confused.
"Well a piece of him is," Kiba said, and came up next to Naruto and Akamaru came up slowly behind.
"Why are you here? Aren't the Senseis supposed to be keeping watch tonight?" Iruka Sensei said confused.
"Well, yes, but they asked us to keep watch," Kiba said. "But the weirdest thing was that while walking the streets last night, Shino and I thought we saw some people that weren't actually alive, wandering around looking at us."
"That's the worst story I've ever heard!" Naruto said. "There's no such things as ghosts!"
"That's where you're wrong, Naruto," Kiba said. "Shino and I have only seen them walking around at night where the Uchihas lived. It's quite sad. I wonder if they will wander around forever."
"They won't wander because they don't exist..." Naruto started but was unable to finish his sentence as he stared at the sight in front of him.
Lee, Iruka Sensei and Kiba all looked at what Naruto was looking at, and they were all quite afraid.
It were the ghosts of Sasuke and Itachi's father and mother, looking down at them, still with the wounds they had died from.
Naruto at once recognized them.
"No, it can't be."
"But it is, Naruto."
"Stand your ground!" Iruka shouted. "For all we know this could be some sort of Jutsu!"
"Naruto, I told you!" Kiba said.
"Is this really the time to be gloating, Kiba?" Naruto shouted in fear.
"Naruto, you are Sasuke's best friend and you knew the Uchihas! They will speak to you!" Lee shouted. "What are you waiting for speak to them?"
"Show some respect for the dead!" Iruka Sensei shouted to the rest of them.
"If you both are really ghosts, and if you can speak to me please do it now. How are you still walking around even if you are dead and are ghosts? Please speak to me, your son is depressed, and he needs the chance to find a way to move on."
The Ghosts of Sasuke's parents did not speak to Naruto, but the father of Sasuke seemed as if he would speak, but then the sun's rays started to show up over the horizon and he looked over at the sun and looked at Naruto sadly and took his wife's hand and disappeared with the mist.
"Did you all not just see that?" Naruto demanded.
"Yes," was their reply.
"I never thought I would admit to ghosts existing! But it's true!"
"It seems that they want something," Lee said. "Otherwise their souls would be at peace."
"Something's not right here," Kiba said.
"I know it's not, but I know Sasuke will want to hear about this," Naruto said.
"Do you really think it's a good idea to tell Sasuke? He's still in mourning and is extremely depressed," Iruka Sensei interrupted.
"Iruka Sensei, with all due respect, but Sasuke really needs to see his family one more time." Naruto turned to all of them. He was worried about his friend. "It may kill him, but he's already in that state. We don't even know what they want. But what I do know is that, maybe they're looking for Sasuke and are wanting to say goodbye."
"Or they could be just fake people wanting to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village," Lee said.
"That could be possible, but if they are, we'll just have to beat them!" Naruto said. "Believe it!"
"Well alright, Naruto," Iruka Sensei said. "But be extra careful when you tell him, you don't know how he'll react."
"I will." Naruto turned to his friends. "Let's go."
The three Ninja ran off to tell their friend the news and they weren't sure how he would take it.
