The Power of Loneliness

'Thoughts'

Flashback

Chapter One: Mangekyou Sharingan

Uzumaki Naruto was sitting in the hotel room waiting for his perverted sensei to return so that he could continue his training with him. Knowing Jiraiya, he probably wouldn't get back till much later in the day. It was a bit after the Chunnin exams when Jiraiya decided that the two of them would go on a mission to retrieve his old teammate, Tsunade. The two had been to several towns with no luck. The old pervert decided to leave Naruto to do his own things while he went off with some girl he met. Then a knock on the door broke him from his thoughts.

"Okay I'm heading to the door." Naruto said annoyed. As he opened the door he saw two men outside with black cloaks that adorned red clouds on them. One of the men had...gills. He had a shark-like face and had a huge sword on his back. He wore a Mist hitate with a slash through it. The second figure was shorter but he seemed like a powerful figure. He had black hair and wore a Konoha hitate with a slash through it. The only other notable detail would be his eyes, they were red.

'This man...his eyes. That's the Sharingan!' Naruto thought confused.

"Sasuke...?" Naruto whispered. "No wait this is someone else." Remembering what Sasuke had said when his team was first formed and when Sasuke 'died' at the bridge, he realized this was his brother. "Your Sasuke's brother...Itachi." Naruto said.

"So you know of my worthless brother. Uzumaki Naruto, we would like you to come with us." Itachi stated.

"Forget it Itachi, let's just rough the kid up a bit. As long as he's alive Leader-sama won't care." The shark man said.

"No, Kisame, it'll be easier if he would come willingly. Besides you might accidentally kill him with that Samehada of yours. If he doesn't come then I will incapacitate him myself. We must be subtle after all. So Naruto-kun will you come with us?"

Naruto just continued to stare at Itachi confused and slightly afraid. He should go get help. Naruto would've had no chance to get away though. His only option was to fight back. Naruto started to channel the Kyuubi's chakra hoping to get away using a summoning. Before he could do anything, he saw Itachi's eye's change and then he found himself caught into his hypnotizing stare. Next thing he knew he was tied up to a pole. Looking around he saw that he was back in his village. All his friends were there and he was happy to see them. The problem was that they didn't seem to be happy seeing him. In fact they looked like they were going to murder him.

His team were the first to step forward all of all them holding a weapon. Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi began to stab him. Naruto gasped as he felt the pain go through his body. "W-what are y-you doing!?" Naruto said recovering from the pain he was feeling. "We're getting rid of the past." They said simultaneously.

"You are nothing but a demon who caused this village destruction and killed my sensei." Kakashi said.

"You are a loser who needs to die." Sasuke said.

"Did you think you could ever be a ninja of great caliber? Its bad enough that your a demon. Sakura said.

Naruto could only stare in shock and pain as they continued to stab him. Then suddenly the pain stopped. He opened his eyes to see that they had been replaced with team eight. They also said he was a demon who needed to die. After that team ten had begun to call him malicious names as they stabbed him. Everyone he had ever known that had accepted him had continue to attack him. Naruto could only feel pain as he felt his heart break at what he called his friends. He felt it would go on forever. He opened his eyes again to see that now it was the old man. The Third Hokage himself.

"O-old man..." Naruto said weakly. "Are you going to hurt me too like all the others?"

"No Naruto-kun." The Third said in a kind voice. Suddenly his voice turned harsh and bitter. "I would rather kill you! As a demon you must be executed. I should have ordered your execution the day the demon was sealed into you." And with that he stabbed Naruto in the heart. This act caused scream in pain and he pleaded his friends to stop. Then Itachi appeared.

"You are in the world of Tsukiyomi. For the next 72 hours you shall be subjected to the pain you feel."

'This is an illusion.' Naruto thought. 'It has to be...but the pain. Is everyone that ever acknowledged me going to turn on me like this? Why!? I never did anything to deserve this! Do I deserve to be alone without any friends?' Something inside Naruto snapped.

Real World...

Sasuke, who was looking for Naruto, saw him fall to the ground in front of Itachi. Feeling the need to help his fallen comrade as well as his revenge to fuel him, he charge up his Chidori and ran forward to finish Itachi in one hit. He never got that far as Itachi grabbed his wrist.

"Foolish little brother. You do not yet have enough hate. You are weak."

"Fight me Itachi! I will kill you to avenge my clan!"

"Very well I will finish this q-" Itachi stopped suddenly cause he felt something dangerous near him. Turning he saw Naruto get up off the ground. Chakra swirling around him ready to lash out to whoever came near him. Tossing his brother to the side which knocked him out, he prepared to use the Mangekyou Sharingan on him again, but Naruto's chakra lashed out on him as if sensing his intentions. Itachi dodged it, but then the strange chakra flared causing Itachi to turn off his Sharingan and covering his eyes.

Kisame seeing that this was getting serious tried to drain the chakra out of the boy by slashing him, but the chakra rose to life and blocked it. Of course the Samehada began to drain the chakra and transfer it into Kisame, but the strange chakra gave off such a feeling of bitterness and hate that it felt like poison as it entered his system. The blade overloaded with too much of the chakra began to crack, but luckily Kisame had dropped his sword in pain as the chakra began to attack him on the inside.

Jiraiya of the Legendary Three, renowned pervert, and great author had chosen this moment to arrive on the scene. What he saw was a destroyed hallway, a unconscious boy, two S-rank criminals on the ground in pain, the boy he had promised to train, and malicious chakra that surprisingly did not belong to the Kyuubi. The strange chakra was a dark blue color that seemed to be more of a dark lavender color. It gave off a feeling or anger, hate, bitterness, and something else that Jiraiya could not identify at the moment.

Itachi chose this moment attack Naruto by using his Amaterasu. The black flames shot forward at Naruto, but again the strange chakra intervened blocking the flames from getting anywhere near him. The strange thing was that this whole time Naruto had not moved once, just standing where he was with his head looking downwards. Itachi took this moment to grab Kisame and escape with his sword.

The chakra began to die down and disappeared altogether. "Naruto...? Are you okay?" Jiraiya asked. Seeing that Naruto had not moved.

"I..." Naruto began suddenly. "I...don't need your sympathy!"

Surprised by the the remark, Jiraiya began to move forward to check on him. He seemed alright, but at the same time he didn't. "Let's go and get something to eat then. Ramen perhaps?"

"...I don't need your charity." Naruto said in a cold voice that sent chills up his spine. Obviously something had happened to him if Naruto had to just turned down ramen. He heard groaning as Sasuke began to regain consciousness. 'Maybe the Uchiha knows something." Jiraiya thought.

"Hey you awake yet?" Jiraiya asked the boy.

"Where's Itachi!? Sasuke demanded.

"Yes oh great Jiraiya. I am perfectly fine now since you asked." Jiraiya said in a mock voice. Sasuke just glared at him. "I need to know what happened here."

Sasuke turned away from Jiraiya's gaze. "I'm not completely sure. When I got here I found Itachi staring at the loser right before he fell to ground unconscious. After that I remember attacking Itachi and then I felt something dangerous and that when he threw me and I fell unconscious."

'Mangekyou...' Jiraiya summed up although not completely sure since Naruto was suppose to be unconscious from its effects. While Jiraiya was thinking someone charged him at incredible speed and kicked him.

"Yosh! Don't worry my youthful comrades! Maito Gai is here to battle the unyouthful!"

Sasuke just stared at him and Naruto still hadn't reacted. Jiraiya however was groaning in pain. Realizing who he had just attacked Gai had apologized over and over again saying that he would run 500 laps around Konoha. Jiraiya however told him to bring Sasuke back to Konoha for medical treatment.

After they had left, Jiraiya walked over to Naruto. "Let's go brat." Jiraiya said putting a friendly hand around his shoulder. As he did however the strange chakra repelled his hand.

"Don't touch me." Naruto said in his cold voice. Jiraiya was baffled at this. 'This ability is it a bloodline? This power is like Gaara's sand defense, but it not only protects him, but completely repels anyone who even tries to touch him. Deciding he would try to figure this mystery out later, the two set off to look for the one known as Tsunade.

I wonder if this story is good. I've had this idea for awhile now and wanted to write it out. If you think it's a good idea so far then I will continue to write it. Although it will probably be awhile till I update this. Until next time (possibly).
