DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN NARUTO

CHAPTER 2: SO COLD

"It's what?" Sasuke asked confused.

"It's so… cold… like pure darkness, but not evil darkness, more like sad darkness yet what scares me most is that it's so familiar too." Karin said.

"That sounds about right." The man said in a pained, but also dark voice.

"Wait so you're depressed?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes, it happened when-"

"Yeah, Yeah" started Sakura, "Can you just give information on Akatsuki?"

Sasuke shot her glare filled with pure hatred.

"Sorry, but she a real BITCH!" yelled Sasuke glaring at Sakura, "when it comes to others emotions."

"Will you shut up about that; it's been five years already!" Sakura shouted back

Over the years Sasuke and Sakura became bitter rivals. Sasuke along with Tsunade and Sakura's parents knew that Sakura was the reason Naruto left and were disappointed in her but Sasuke was the one who really downright hated her for driving Naruto away. Everyone else had their suspicions but only those four knew one hundred percent that she was the cause. This is also the only reason why Tsunade didn't mark Naruto as a missing ninja because she could understand why Naruto left. She could understand that he would go away and never return, after all that is what a person would normally do when his dream girl dumps him the day he was planning to propose.

"Anyways about that information?" Sakura asked.

"The Akatsuki leader hides in the tallest tower in the rain village, however he has six chakara controlled puppets for combat, each with unique abilities. And their visions are linked so in order to hit one you have to be out of all of their fields of vision. He also has partner who always stays close by and can control paper. The villagers know the leader as Pain and his partner as the 'mother angel'."

"I see." Sakura said.

"I will be accompanying in defeating Akatsuki." Said the man.

"What? Why?" asked Sakura.

"I have a score to settle with Akatsuki" He responded.

"OK why not?" Said Sakura.

"Wait, Karin you said this man's chakara was familiar?" asked Sasuke.

"Yes."

"How so?"

"I don't know actually but it just is even though I've never felt chakara so cold."

"Hmmm." "I wonder if this could possibly be him. After all, he did say he was depressed and that he has a score to settle with Akatsuki." Thought Sasuke.

"Hey, what's your name anyways?" asked Sasuke.

"My name? well I haven't used my name in years, but if you must know, my name is…" started the man as he was removing his mask.

Everyone stood in shock as they saw who was behind the mask.

"…Uzumaki…Naruto…"

WELL THAT'S ALL FOR NOW SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT CHAPTER OF BROKEN NOW THAT PEOPLE KNOW THE MAN WAS NARUTO THE WHOLE TIME.
