Happiness.
What did that word mean?
Is it that overwhelming feeling you get, when you blow out your first birthday candle? Or is it when your older brother laughs at you when you fail at performing a jutsu, but comes over to help you anyway? I guess I'll never know what that feeling is. What that word means.
In all honesty, I do almost sort of miss being back in Konoha. I had always thought about what it would be like if I did come back. Especially after Naruto kept trying to bring me back..
What a dobe.
Nobody would trust me. I would never have the relationship that I once had with everyone anymore. Nobody would trust me. As painful as that seemed, it was the truth. The hard truth. I almost wish I had never left.. then nobody would be hurt by me. Let's take Naruto for instance. If I came back to Konoha, he would probably eagerly run up to me and hug me, and then punch me in the face, asking why I did it, why I had to hurt everybody like that. I was important to him. And Sakura.. She doesn't deserve everything I've put her through. She had always promised she would love me.. but she had moved on, letting all her bitter thoughts of me escape. Her and Naruto did make a pretty cute couple.
Kakashi-sensei. He would be so disappointed in me. But he understands me the most out of anybody, I think. He understands why I did what I did.
At least, I hope he did..
I hope he doesn't hate me..
Believe it or not, even under my cold hollow shell, I did care about those three.
Naruto Uzumaki-
The blonde haired blue eyed dobe who I hate to admit was like a brother to me.
Sakura Haruno-
The beautiful pink haired cherry blossom that had matured into a young woman, who I always treated horribly, but I never meant to.
Kakashi-sensei -
The mysterious man who always got me. I hate to admit this, too, but he was like a fatherly figure to me.
Everyone in Konoha had matured.
Except me.
I was still the cold, heartless, immature avenger I always was.
As I felt the blonde's katana pierce my skin - slashing through every major organ immaginable in my fragile body, I felt numb. The blade's cold metal froze me. I felt nothing after that. As I fell to the ground, I saw pain in his eyes. Naruto didn't want to kill me. But I'm glad he did.
Naruto - The number one hyperactive knuckleheaded ninja.
...My number one hyperactive knuckleheaded ninja.
Thank you for setting me free.
