A/N: Hello and welcome to another chapter of What is Pain! Some of this story will be taken from my own personal experiences. When that happens I hope you guys don't freak out. First things first, The basis of Haku is a good friend of mine. (her personality is mixed into Haku's. So in short Haku is in memory of my good friend.) I tell you this now as we meet Haku in the next chapter. Some of Haku's past is also from hers. Some of Naruto's past is mixed with my own. This story is a what could have been tale. It is therapeutic for me. I miss this friend a lot. I'm writing this here because I need to let you know what this story is based on. I don't feel right not giving you all this warning. My updates may be infrequent or they may be short. When that happens please have mercy as it may be that I had a hard time talking about it at that time. I''m probably making you guys think 'ugh nother whiny story.' That s not true. The thing about my friend is she always wanted happiness, despite what happens she always smiled. I'll start adding little entries before chapters The entries are bits and pieces of things that happened with me and her. On the last chapter of this series I will have question in my notes. That question will be "What happened between the two of us?" The entries will slowly become not for the faint of heart. They get darker but at times they are very happy. The entries have nothing to do with the chapter but they might be previews to things to come in the story. Please Review. (I'll be skpping the real test. I want Naruto's skills to be a secret.)
Entry 1
She cried. I cried. The face of the girl I loved, once covered in smile was broken in tears. The calm sound of the beating of my heart was the only other sound in the room. She turned to me and said.
"When will you stop lying to me?"
I looked her dead in the eyes and told her.
"When I accept it all."
I left her in her room alone. How was I to know that she had always been alone? How was I to know what would happen to us?
Chapter 2 Pain is teachers that are late.
Everyone else was gone. Team 7 remained. Naruto had long since fallen asleep in the back of the room. Sakura was squealing over Sasuke. Sasuke was ignoring her with his whole body. It was because they were all caught up in their own activities that they failed to notice the figure in the corner of the room. The figure moved and walked towards Naruto. It shook him awake.
"No! I'm Sorry! Don't Hurt me Please!." Naruto screamed. The figure stepped away.
The figure was a tall man with silver hair that pointed to one side. He wore the standard vest for a konoha ninja. His head band covered one eye and he wore a mask.
"I wont hurt you. Why would I hurt one of my students" He said calmly
"Huh?" Naruto replied
'He doesn't remember the man thought.
"Sensei you are very late." Sakura screamed.
"You are very loud." The man said
Before Sakura could complain the man continued.
"Whatever meet me at the roof." He said and disappeared. Naruto used a shunsin to go to the roof. The man was leaning against the railing. Naruto stood near him, but a bit away. Naruto did this as it was his costume not to get close to people.
"May I ask why you screamed?" The man said
"Ask around. Ask about the demon boy. You'll learn. I'm surprised you don't know" Naruto said glumly
"I haven't been in the village in 13 years. I had a long mission and it just ended." The man said.
Sasuke and Sakura came up the stairs. They sat down next to where Naruto was standing. Naruto took a few steps away from them and sat down as well. The man raised an eyebrow at Naruto's gesture. Sakura saw it as a chance to be alone with Sasuke. Sasuke sighed realizing that he had no easy way to get Sakura away from him.
"Ok. The names Kakashi Hatake. I like many things. I dislike little. MY hobbies I don't have any. My dreams, well I've never thought about it. Pinkie you go." Kakashi gestured
"My name is Sakura Haruna. I like Sasuke-kun. I dislike Naruto." Naruto sighed. "My hobbies are." She blushed. "My dream is to." She stopped once again.
'She's already annoying me.' Kakashi sighed
"Brooding one. You're turn."
"My name is Sasuke. I like power. I dislike being weak. My hobbies include training. My dream is to kill a certain man." Sasuke said
"Wow Sasuke's so cool!" Sakura screamed
'Oh god I might kill her…' Kakashi thought aloud
"You'd have to wait in line." Both Naruto and Sasuke said
"I bet. Ok screaming child go."
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like ramen, and empty places. I dislike crowds, people who hurt others, fangirls, and pain. My Hobbies include training, eating ramen. My Dream is to become Hokage, and to one day wake up and not be scared." Naruto said.
'Shit. What happened to this boy?' Kakashi thought
"Whatever. You'll never be Hokage, Sasuke will be." Sakura said
"Damn fangirls." Naruto said
Sakura screamed and tried to punch him, but Naruto dodged it and she fell flat on her face.
"Ok team meet me tomorrow at training ground 7 at 7. We'll be having the true genin tests, the others were fake. Don't eat any breakfast you'll vomit." Kakashi said
Once he finished Naruto disappeared. Kakashi followed.
Naruto was walking down an empty alley way, when he felt someone behind him.
'Again.' Naruto thought and sighed, knowing he couldn't fight back or he'd be killed.
Naruto just kept going and his pursurer followed. He ran home and went to bed.
