Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto
Summary- Naruto's past haunts him to this day, a childhood full of blurs of anger, sadness and worst of all, loneliness. Naruto is at the prim age of seventeen and is currently attending college, his jubilant attitude giving him a happy aura that everyone loves but what happens when that guise slips for less than a moment, and every friend he has see's it? Who will crack the mystery of the pain hidden behind the suns clouds?
Chapter Summary- Naruto was sick of it all. The fake smiles. The now endless questions from his friends. And the most recent threats to his life. He wondered if it would be better if he just changed.

Chapter Three- So it begins
"Long time no see Master." The brunette comments as he holds his umbrella over my slightly shivering form, he pulls out a hanky and carefully wipes my tears that just continue to fall, I try to stop them but the shock is just too much for me and I can't retain the enormous happiness of seeing Iruka again. I had thought my old butler hated me, it was after all my fault that he received that scar, but now he is just smiling at me softly like he used to.
I sob as I launch forward, my arms circling around him as I burry my face in his chest, his arms wrap around my shoulders and he holds me close despite my soaked clothes. He whispers comforting words to me as he rubs my back but I can feel drops of water that don't belong to the rain. Pulling myself together I breath in deeply and look up Iruka a wobbly smile on my lips as I try to think of what to say.
"H-how have you been?" I ask eventually, Iruka stares at me for a little longer before his smile drops slightly, without speaking he leads me back to Garra's rental and sits me on the towel Garra has already prepared. Getting directions off the redette he looks back at me and smiles faintly.
"Lets get you back to the hotel and warmed up before we keep talking okay?" He says leaning back as he shuts the door and walks over to his own car. The drive back is mostly silent but I have managed to gather myself faster than usual due to the sudden arrival of Iruka, the heater warms me up and partially dries me during the silent drive back.

When we are all in the hotel room and I have showered and put on some warm clothes I find myself sitting on a chair in front of Iruka on the balcony as he rubs a towel through my hair to dry it. Garra has gone to get take out leaving us alone and just as I'm about to ask what Iruka wants to talk about he speaks himself.
"The truth is Naruto that over these past years your Grandpa had sent me to various places, I helped with the business for thirteen years and most recently I've been tracking down and getting training from the best fighters in the world." At his last statement my curiosity is piqued and I rest fully back into his legs as he places the towel around my neck and picks up another larger cover and wraps t around my whole body. Picking up some scissors he begins to snip my hair off piece by piece. "You see even though we have successfully hidden your identity competitors are well aware of when you will take over the business, all they have to do is wait. So I was sent to learn as many different styles of fighting and self defence so I can teach them to you." He explains picking up the hair brush and brushing it through my now short hair, grabbing some gel he uses his fingers to comb it through my hair and flattens it out.
My hair, however, has never stayed put with just a little bit of gel so the effort is wasted as my hair simply spikes back up, pointing in every which direction. Iruka chuckles and pulls the draperies off my body as he comments softly. "Your hair is just like your fathers, I could never tame it. One time I even used an entire tube and spray can, but it still stuck up everywhere." Iruka laughs lightly making me smile and I hear Garra calling out to us.
Standing I dust of the tiny bits of hair that have somehow managed to get on my pants and I walk inside, Iruka following behind as we head over to the table where Garra has set out a fast food feast. Giving me one of his rare smiles Garra shakes a clear bag that holds a few tubs of ice cream and chocolate, knowing that much like a girl when I'm sad I like to stuff my face with sugary food. Iruka laughs in understanding as we all sit down and dig in.
"I'll start your training as soon as we get back, I would have returned sooner but I ran into some unexpected delays."
"Mmmm? Mkay I mm kam do fat"
"Don't talk with your mouth full Young lord."
"I've told yof, it's just Naruto."
Swallowing my mouthful I lean back and close my eyes for a moment, my mind made up on just leaving Sasuke be. Let the bastard dig his own grave, is what I'd like to say but I'll distract him with a sob story to get him off my case for a little longer.

The plane trip back had been uneventful and as I waved bye to Iruka's retreating car my phone vibrates in my pocket. Pulling it out I head into the dorms, letting my feet carry me as I read the message.
From: The old Perv
Naruto, I have received information that you have been discovered, please try to stay indoors and I'll get the information to you by this afternoon.
The rather blunt message left me shocked and worried and the beep of the elevator signalling the doors opening had me dropping my phone. Quickly picking it up I straighten myself and step onto the carpet, looking at my door I spot Sasuke leaning on it, his eyes wordlessly examining my appearance. Its well past midnight and I have no clue as to how he knew I would be back now, by all means he should be asleep.
The thought makes me smile, knowing he must have been worried but I also remember that he wants me to confess. Shaking my head I unlock my door and leave it open as I walk inside. Throwing my bag into the corner of my room I take a seat on my bed and lean against the wall, just watching as the raven silently walks over to my desk and sits in my chair. Its silent for a little longer as I finalize my lies in my head and his sigh makes me begin.
"When I was borne I was meant to be given to one of those families that cant have children, however the people backed out last minute and left me with my biological mum." I begin closing my eyes so as to better picture the scene. "She was kind I suppose, for someone who didn't actually want a child but when my fifth birthday came around my biological father started visiting. I don't remember it well but I do remember being scared. I've been told that he abused me whenever he came around, and violated my mother." My voice shakes in anger at the image of someone doing that to my real mother appears in my mind, pushing the thoughts down I take a deep breath and continue. "Eventually on my fifth birthday, she must have had enough. I remember it so clearly, just this one day. She had been smiling at me and told me that she's going to take me to heaven, being the child that I was I didn't realize what she meant. But she seemed so happy about it, so I was too."
"Of course she took us out for a drive and intentionally crashed, she was killed on impact but I was lucky, I suppose. A tree had smashed through my side window and cushioned the impact, however it also scrapped deep cuts in both my cheeks, that as you can see left scars." I open my eyes and raise a hand to my cheek, brief memories flashing across my vision for a second before I meet Sasuke's gaze. "After I was sent to live with my Grandpa and Grandma over here in America as they were my mother's living relatives. Naturally I don't like celebrating my birthday anymore because of this." I finish the raven simple gazes at me for awhile longer before sighing and shaking his head, standing he walks over to the door and opens it, walking out he pulls it shut behind himself but I still catch the whispered word.
"Liar"
Rubbing my eyes tiredly I allow myself to sigh deeply, of course I wouldn't have been able to fool him, he knows me better than anyone else. My laptop buzzes from over on my desk with an email alert, standing I trudge over to the technical device and open up my emails. The new message glares at me in big bold letters, opening it up I read.
From: Jiriya Sanin
Okay brat this is all I was able to find.
Group Name: Sound
Leader: Orochimaru "Unknown"
Sub Leader: Kabuto "Unknown"
General Affairs: This group has been known to conduct scientific experiments on live animals and in worse cases live humans. These experiments often revolve around gene-splicing, the act of removing specific chromosomes from one body and surgically placing them in another.
This group is easy to hire, however they charge high rates and more often than not their experiments fail.
Look out kid there targeting you now, so please be cautious, if anything strange happens let me know straight away.
I read over the message a second time, just to be sure and am stunned at what this means, firstly, I have been found out, secondly if these people get to me I'll most likely die, or end up as a mutation of some grotesque kind. Groaning I rub my eyes again and roll my chair over to my bed, crawling onto the mattress I slide under the covers and curl up. Fuck Sasuke, fuck this Sound group, just fuck everything I'm going to sleep.

Thanks to all my worries I was woken by nightmares at nine, rolling around in bed for a little I finally get up and email back Jiriaya to confirm I'll be safe, grabbing my phone off charge I message Kiba, Shikamaru, Shino and Choji to meet at the campus food hall to have breakfast and walk over to my dresser. Grabbing out some black skinny jeans and an orange singlet, after pulling on my socks and shoes I grab my phone and wallet and head out, the elevator ride is quick and the campus grounds are silent and beautiful as usual.
When I arrive I spot Kiba out the front, he waves at me half-heatedly when he sees me approaching and a large grin spreads over his tattooed face.
"Oi dog breath where are the others?" I ask as we head inside, grabbing plates and heading over to the buffet, Kiba grumbles about the nickname but the sight of food is enough to distract him from it as he progresses forward.
"Shino left late yesterday to go meet up with his dad, said something about getting a new bug collection that they were sorting out this weekend. Uhh Shikamaru and Choji just left, Shikamaru got a phone call but all I caught was 'great news' and 'see you soon', before they apologized and left." Kiba explains as he loads his plate with sausages, bacon, beans, eggs and toast. I just put on some bacon, eggs and toast, not really feeling all that hungry.
We walk over to a free table and sit down so we can eat our food, but as it usually is with me and Kiba, we simply don't stay quiet long. Our voices are naturally loud and our conversations always end up with us laughing. But after four years here everyone is already used to our antics and continues on with their morning routine.
After eating Kiba and I are head to the arcade down the road, I'm halfway through a zombie shooting game when I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket, handing the gun to Kiba who now has two guns, I pull it out of my pocket and view the message.
From: Iruka
I've booked a dojo so meet me at XXXXXX in an hour if possible and we'll begin your training.
Flicking the phone shut I say goodbye to Kiba who waves and mentions something about Hinata as we go our separate ways. I hum an easy tune as I hail a cab getting in my mind wanders to what Iruka would be teaching me first.

I skull the water offered by Iruka gratefully as I collapse on the tatami mats in the corner of the dojo, Saturday and Sunday had passed quickly and now I was here after a day full of tests, continuously throwing myself into learning. It was exhausting work, but well worth it, placing the water beside me I take deep breaths of the fresh air flowing in from the open door as Iruka sits beside me.
"Your doing great Naruto, it took me half a year to learn all the techniques from Haku that you've learnt and mastered in just Three days. You obviously have a natural talent for fighting." He compliments me as he ruffles my hair, a gesture I've learnt he does often. I laugh airily, happy to receive such praise as I give up and lay down, I haven't seen Shikamaru and Choji for three days either, although I did catch a glimpse of Shikamaru in my first test today, but he left before I could reach him.
After a nice rest I get up and leave, waving back to Iruka as I head back to the dorms, I've been waking up and going to the gym early in the morning ever since I started the training, and today I had all those stupid tests and now I've just finished training, I think I need a nice hot shower and a good rest. Nodding I hop out of the cab and head straight for the showers, I left my gear in there this morning after my workout.
Stripping I shiver in the cool air and quickly step into the shower and turn the water on, grabbing the soap I lather it in my hands and begin washing my chest. Today at training Iruka had brought up the topic of safety, but not for me, my friends. It had slipped my mind but now I cant seem to stop thinking about it, would it be better to just leave, disappear and only show up for the final tests? I don't quite know but I think I'll stay at least until the end of the course, I can decide what to do after that.
Nodding to myself I wash off the sudds and turn off the water, towelling off I change into some boxers and make a dash for the elevators. Once inside I hum a tune and when I reach my floor I happily go into my room. Grabbing my iPod I plug in my headphones and grab out my revision sheets. It's not until I'm halfway through a book when a song comes on that is so similar to my current state of mind that I can't help but pause to listen to it.
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
Its so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken
From deep inside me
A secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played
If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave
Its-
I quickly shut the song off, unplugging the headphones I laugh humourlessly, stuff like that isn't fair. I was just getting into studying and now I can't focus. Rolling my eyes I leave my music off and simply go back to studying, not wanting another interruption or distraction.
