(NARUTO POV)
Naruto walked leisurely down the street of a village he had found an hour earlier, he had had to sneak around the borders of the village to check for any ninja that would recognise him, there were none so here he was just casually strolling down the street looking for a clothing store so he could get rid of his orange jumpsuit, now that he was a rouge ninja he couldn't just walk around wearing head ache inducing bright colours anymore he would get recognised very quickly in any major village with a few ninja, it's not like most ninja wore orange anyway it was kind of redundant if you wanted to be stealthy.
There wasn't much in the town in the way of clothing stores but one quickly cuaght his eye so he ran inside determined to get rid of the hidious outfit he wore.
Ok what should I buy, what should I buy, let's see I don't really like shirts they restrict my movements to much so maybe a vest... yeah I'll go for a vest though if it gets cold I'll need a coat so I'll get one of those to whilst I'm here hmmm, and maybe just some three quarter pants, yeah that'll do me just fine but... what colours should I get them in... maybe dark red for my vest and just some black pants or something also I think I'll replace my hitai-ate blue cloth with orange, that should do now I just gotta find the clothes... damn.
Naruto wondered around the store looking for what he wanted going through almost every clothes rack and shelf in the shop as he hunted for new clothes picking out what he needed as he went, when he had every thing he wanted he turned to the cashier.
"Hey old man I'm going to try these on." Naruto yelled holding up the clothes he had chosen, the old man nodded and pointed toward the change rooms before looking back down at a little orange book in front of him.
Naruto turned his body left and right looking at himself from as many angles as he could to see if the outfit suited him or not, it was strange to him who had only wore the jumpsuit for most of his life because nobody would sell anything good to him.
Naruto ran his hands down the vest on his chest, it was dark red and snug on his lean muscles fitting him perfectly with no discomfort, the pants were black going down just past his knee just a little bit baggy allowing for more movement with little chains hanging on the side off the belt loops and sandals with thin straps going around his foot and in between his toes strapping them in.
All right looks good now I just have to find a jacket and I'm done.
"Old man I'm buying these." Naruto yelled as he walked up to the front counter with the tags and his old clothes in his hands.
"Ok I assume you're wearing them out would you like me to burn the orange monstrosity for you or will you be doing that?" The old man asked not looking up from his book, Naruto paused for a second thinking.
It wouldn't be hard to just give them up to him... but I really wanna see them go myself just incase, it could potentially lead the Konoha ninja to me if they ever try, not that they would, fucking assholes I wish they would just die.
You know Naruto we could kill them all if you want it wouldn't be to hard for you to just let me out and fire a beast ball at them.
Shut up kyuubi I didn't ask for your opinion on the matter I'm not going to kill them there's little kids there that haven't even done anything to me.. or is it us you know I've always been confused to how I should address my self when talking to you because your inside of me (That's what she said.) so that technically means you're part of me so do I say me or us?
Kid you address your self however the hell you want it's not my problem.
Well you obviously have a problem with something I'm doing.
Maybe I do maybe I don't why should I tell a measly human like you if something's bothering me?
Because we have to live with each other so we may as well have some communication other than then you try to take over and get out.
No we really don't have to have any communication at all you could just ignore me and do whatever you want so you don't look like an idiot when you stop to talk to me halfway through an outside conversation dumbass.
Fuck I totally forgot about the old guy, don't talk to me when I'm in the middle of a conversation next time you're too distracting.
"Sorry about that I just zoned out a little what were you saying?" Naruto asked watching as little old man in front of him turned the page in his book, the old man sighed and shut his book before looking up at Naruto for the first time since he walked into the store.
"I asked if you wanted me to get rid of the orange rags you're holding." The old man snapped, Naruto raised an eyebrow at him and shoved the jumpsuit at the man smiling sweetly.
"Sure if it wouldn't inconvenience your highness from your reading sir it would be great if you could take these off my hands and sully your own pure skin with my commoner waste my queen." Naruto replied coolly, the old man stared at Naruto for a few seconds before smiling at him.
"I like you kid it's not often you get someone with confidence around this village that'll back talk an elderly man what's your name?" He asked still smiling kindly at Naruto who was stunned by the sudden turn around of the mans attitude toward him.
"Umm I'm Naruto nice to meet you... ahh."
"My name's Cote nice to meet you, now you wanted to buy some clothes if I'm correct." The old man said, Naruto nodded handing over the tags of the clothes he was wearing.
"Umm yeah hey um do you have a knee length coat I could buy?" Naruto asked awkwardly, Cote nodded and pointed behind him as he calculated the price.
"Over there kid from the dark blue to the purple." he said dismmisively.
"Thanks old man." Naruto replied jumping over the counter and walking to the racks at the back of the store. Flicking through the different jackets Naruto quickly made a decision on which one he wanted, the jacket was simple in design just a plain black jacket with a high collar and a zip going that stopped at the waist line, it was a good choice for Naruto it wouldn't hamper his movements to much in a fight and if needed he could detatch the sleeves on the arms.
"Cote I'll take this one." Naruto yelled throwing the Cote to coat, the coat landed on Cote's head blocking his veiw of the shop and Naruto as he walked back to the cash register, a vein pulsed on Cote's head as he pulled the coat off and slammed it down on the desk glaring at Naruto.
"Brat these things are not for throwing what the hell is wrong with you, oh and your bill is $468.98." Naruto stood dumbfounded for a few seconds before realising what the old man had told him and started to dig through his bags for his money.
"Here old man keep the change see ya." Naruto said throwing the money at Cote before grabbing his coat and running out the door as Cote counted the money Naruto paid him finding the amount well over what he had asked for he smiled happily as he pulled out what was needed to pay for the clothes and put the rest in his pocket never to be seen in the shop again.
Alright now that that's taken care of what the hell am I gonna do now, I have enough money to last me for years if I really have to stretch it, I could find work as a rouge maybe go into assassination or intel gathering for some body, man I really didn't think this one through I'm a rouge now what the fuck am I gonna do, I'm gonna have anbu from all the countries after me I'm so screwed what am I gonna do, I'm not even at Jounin level yet sure I have the jutsu but my tai jutsu isn't that good I could beat Kakashi sensei one on one what if I'm up against like 100 anbu and they're all trying to kill me I'll never make it, my life is over I'm too young to die, why did I leave Konoha why why why… Oh right that's why, fucking traitors bastards I hope some one destroys that stupid fucking village one day soon.
We could.
No, not happening Kyuubi at least not unless they don't provoke me first, I won't fall to their level just because they betrayed me.
Alright brat, but know that the options always there now why don't you turn your attention to the real world dumbass.
Yeah yeah, what ever Kyuubi.
Naruto stopped walking the instant he turned his attention back to the real world, Brown? why am I seeing brown?, a slight wind blew past him rustling the leaves of a tree and his eyes widened in shock before he quickly jumped backwards and spun wildly to make sure nobody had seen what had just transpired between him and the tree he had almost walked into, deep within the recesses of his mind he heard a faint voice cursing and he made a mental note to find out what annoyed the Kyuubi so he could get payback.
"Stupid giant fox." he muttered under his breath as he walked away once again getting pulled into his thoughts for the remainder of his walk before he set up camp for the night.
(SASUKE POV)
I hate myself right now, I really really do, I've lost my touch, I can't keep my composure when anything has even the slightest thing to do with Naruto which at the moment is everything, I've been trying to track him down for days since a left, I've read his letter a hundred times over and committed it to memory, I'm so screwed and I'm quite ready to kill Suigetsu, the little shit head won't leave me alone and when it's just us he' aways teasing me about being in love with Naruto, which I'm not, he's just a friend or maybe more like a brother… oh fuck me here comes Karin, why did I ever let on my team she's just another fan girl to try and avoid only this time I can't, save me kami please just end this tortuous existence filled with crazy fucking fan girls.
"Sasuke-kun why can't we just forget about the stupid blonde, it's not like he can help you in your goal and he won't ever fit in with us, you said it yourself he's a monster just forget… ahh Sasuke-kun are you alright you look a little angry?" Karin smiled sweetly at me so I glared at her hoping she would go away, far far away to another planet if need be.
"You know what Sasuke-kun I'll just go over here and do… something, bye." As Karin hurried away from me I smirked, finally a way to get rid of her.
I pulled out the letter and read it again.
Dear Sasuke
It's good to finally know what you think of me
I never thought that I'd find out or that you would think I'm
a monster, I'm sorry for all of the trouble I've caused you
and I hope you can forgive me eventually for being such a
pathetic waste of space, I know I'm a monster but I had
hoped that you'd see past that and see me for who I am
not what everyone else thinks of me, I guess I was wrong
about you.
From Naruto
P.S. I really thought we could have been something, I might
have taken you up on your offer, but I guess my feelings for
you just don't matter, but for what it's worth, I love you.
For the one millionth time in the past five days I groaned and wondered how I never saw it before and how I was such a fucking idiot.
