Chapter 2 (P.S this story is in Naruto's point of view)

The Wound That Never Healed: A Naruto Fanfic

As we entered the village, Kakashi took me to the hospital. The doctor said I should rest a couple of days and I would be fine. The doctor also said that my comrades would also be fine. We all suffered serious wounds but nothing were fatal. I spent my time in the hospital in depression. I did not eat, I did not drink, I did not sleep because all I could think about is how I failed. I failed the first time I was really needed, and I failed to save the brotherly bond Sasuke and I had.

One day as I moped in my hospital bed, I had a visitor. She was one of my best friends, her name was Sakura.

"Hi Naruto-kun" she said as a smile grew on her face

" Oh… Hi Sakura." I said as I struggled to look her in the eyes.

She brought me flowers and ramen for lunch. I had a hard time eating before, but since it's with Sakura…. Eh what the hell.

" Here, I made sure to add extra naruto (fish roll lol) to yours". She said as she handed me a bowl of Ramen

" Itadakimasu!" She said as she clapped her hands together

"Itadakimasu I struggled to say through my teeth

We finally began to eat. We ate in utter silence. The silence went on and on and on till I could not take it anymore.

" Im not hungry anymore." I said as I put away the bowl.

" Very well… I don't really feel like eating either." Sakura said as her smile disappeared from her face and was replaced with a frown.

" Please leave… I… just… need some time to think." I said sadly

" Sure… I get you. Bye Naruto-kun" Sakura said as she tried to prevent tears from falling from her eyes.

Just as she was about to rush out the door, I grabbed her by her arm.

" Sakura wait… Im sorry." I said.

"What are you talking about… sorry for what?" she said as tears flowed gently down her cheek.

" Im sorry… for failing you. I failed to bring Sasuke ba-". Just as I was about to finish my sentence, Sakura burst in a shout and shouted " I DON'T CARE ABOUT SASUKE! I KNOW HE NEVER CARED ABOUT ME! HE NEVER CARED ABOUT THE VILLAGE! HE NEVER CARED ABOUT YOU! HE WANTS TO WASTE HIS LIFE TRYING TO KILL HIS BROTHER THEN HE CAN JUST GO RIGHT AHEAD BECAUSE I DON'T GIVE A DAMN! I HATE HIM!!"

After she had her fitt she burst into tears and fell in my arms.

" Is going to be ok Sakura."

" Who am I kidding? I LOVE him. I want him back. Naruto! Bring him back! I beg of you! I cant live without him." She said.

" I promise you. I will grow stronger… even stronger than Sasuke. I will bring him back. Even if I have to bring him here half dead" I vowed to her.

She spended time with me for a couple of hours till we both felt better, and she left.

Just as she left, the cut on my chest began to burn with pain. Most of the wounds and bruises had already healed halfway. But that small cut I had on my chest remained the same. I fell on the bed and fell asleep on my bed to escape the suffering for a while.

I knew I would grow stronger… but I do not know where to begin. But I think I know someone who can show me the way.
