-Time: 11:42 AM- Sunday-

An old looking crane lifted a large metal beam off of a boat that was down below. People hammering nails into woods, people twisting nails or nuts into place with wrenches, people lifting wood planks and beams moving them into the right places. Sakura sat on the edge of the bridge but inside, she listened to the sound of waves crashing against the pillars of the bridge and birds yelling from above.

"Hmm" She yawned while stretching her arms out, trying to wake up. Naruto made them stay in the forest for another three hours, and this morning making them train for two hours. Saying it was good for them to train until they dropped.

"You look tired and board by yourself." Tazuna walked in front of Sakura, there was a small metal beam on one of his shoulders, "Where is the sassy kid, quiet guy, and krowd sensei?" He asked, looking at her. He had his normal brown sleeveless shirt with an old moss green with a tint of yellow obi pants, boots to match his shirt. He had a dirty cloth around his neck, and a yellow construction helmet on.

"..Sasuke-kun and Sai are training with a tree climbing exercise, Naruto-sensei said he was going to meditate." Sakura explained, moving her arms back down to her lap.

"And what about you? Too hard?" Tazuna teased, turning his head to look at her more.

"WHAT NO!? Naruto-sensei said I should go and guard you because I'm the best at the activity!" Sakura barked, showing off her fits to him, but Tazuna ignored her yelling and set down the beam.

"Och och." He mutters to himself. He stood up and turning his head, hearing someone call his name.

"May I talk to you for a second?" A man asked, he had his helmet off and on his hip. He had a uglt corn yellow t-shirt with blue cargo work pants, and the same boot as Tazuna. He also had shaggy dark grey hair and was getting held up by a light blue headband. The guy walked closer to Tazuna.

"What is it, Giichi? Tazuna answered back, wipping the sweat off his face with his cloth.

Giichi looked down from embarrassment, "uhh well, you see after thinking and talking about it with my wife..she wants me to quit building the bridge. May I?" He looked back up at Tazuna wanting an answer.

"W-what? Why all of a sudden?! I can't have you quitting on me too.." Tazuna raised his voice, he had a look of disappointment and shock plastered on his wrinkly face. He stepped close to one of his old friends.

"Tazuna-san, I know I have known you for years now but if I get too involved with you and this bridge, Gato will come down and kill my family and I." Giichi explained, looking up back and up. Nervous of even being on the bridge or talking to Tazuna. "You should stop building the bridge, too. If you die all hope will be crushed." He implied that he wanted Tazuna to give up and die a life he won't be happy with.

Sakura watched the conversation from far away, she had a pain suppression seeing someone wanting to quit and leave Tazuna when he is putting his own life on the line.

Tazuna sighed while closing and shaking his head; no, "I can't do that." Giichi had a sound of startle. "This bridge is my bridge, this is our bridge. This is the bridge that we've been building with the town people's hopes. This is the bridge that will make distribution and transportation increase, and bring new hopes to this country, the Land of the Waves." Tazuna seemed happy and proud to build this bridge, a bridge that will bring pride into this small, poor land.

"But if we die..!" He got cut off by Tazuna talking and walking away.

"It's close to lunch time, we're stopping for now." Tazuna walked past Giichi.

"Wait Tazuna-san!" Giichi turned, reaching his hand out to Tazuna, trying to make him stop.

"I don't need someone like you on my team, you can stop coming here." Tazuna denoted, moving his helmet lower on his head, showing the fact he didn't want to talk to him. Tazuna walked off, going to the others to tell them it's lunch.

Sakura stood up and followed Tazuna, he had an annoyed, unease look all over his face. She wanted to ask a question but she knew it could wait until Tazuna calmed down a little.

-Same day, Time: 5:34 PM- The forest.

Sai fell onto the ground with a very loud 'thud', he got to twelve meters this time while Sasuke got to ten. Both of them were covered in mud on their clothes and faces, sweat dripping off their arms, legs, and faces, cuts and bruises on their knees, elbows, feet, and heads. They have been training since 9 something in the morning, Naruto-sensei was the definition of a slave rider. Sakura got off the hook two hours in, seeing how she was doing astounding as Naruto said.

'This tree is probably around 45+ meters (150+ ft), how does he expect us to climb to the top in five days?' Sai thoughted, wiping the sweat off his chin. He watched Sasuke run onto the tree once more, he got about eleven meters this time before jumping off. He also seemed frustrated this is stuipd training. Sasuke landed on one knee, he was panting ragged breaths from using so much chakra and energy in general.

'What did Naruto say to Sai? He doesn't look like he is improving.' Sasuke thought, he turned his head behind himself checking if Naruto was still meditating slash watching them from behind.

Naruto opened his eyes to watch his 'kids'. He was proud that his students had so much potential, determination, and innocence. Something he didn't have at their age. He lost his innocence very quickly in life, his determination grew, sending him off a bit when he was younger, his potential also grew making something that he hopes the people that were in his life are proud of. He looked back at Sai and Sasuke.. Sasuke was replaced with himself but younger, and Sai was replaced with a boy who had spiky brown hair that was held up by his headband, and he wore a light blue hoodie and long ninja pants that went down his ankles. Naruto shook his head, it wasn't the time to be thinking about old friends. He sucked on his breath, focusing on his meditation. But Naruto would be lying if he said Sasuke didn't remind him of himself back in the day and how Sai reminds him of his old team mate.

Sai looked at Sasuke, they both shared another glare together. And as if they could read each other's minds, both of them started running towards their trees. Both of them shared the same thought; I'm not going to lose to someone like Sasuke, Sai.

-Same day- Time: 5:45 PM- 3rd POV-

The sun started to sink into the earth's horizon making beautiful colors like pink, yellow, purple, and orange mix into the sky. Sakura and Tazuna probably have 30 minutes to get what they need and go home before the sun disappears. They were walking side to side, they were in the center of the small town. Small houses to old large restaurants filling the town / city with different buildings, letting no blank spaces in except the dirt, sand roads they walk on. Some people were rowing their boats or wooden canoes in the small river that went through the town / city, others there filling the streets shopping or looking for something, some walked with no direction,some drinking until they died, some sat against the buildings with signs asking for food or a job.

Sakura looked around then up at Tazuna, who was to her right. "Hey? Where are we heading, Tazuna-san?" Skura asked, a little worried about something. She had her backpack over her shoulders, she would've brought her purse but before this mission started Naruto told her not to bring extra things like make up, lipstick, purses, or nail clippers. Though Sakura thought she saw him clipping his nail this morning but whatever. A tall male with a trench coat followed closely behind Sakura and Tazuna.

"Tsunami asked me to get some ingredients for tonight's dinner. And having youngsters will you to hold the groceries is also great." Tazuna chuckled out a rough laugh.

A small kid ran in front of them, running into an alleyway while someone yelled; thief! Sakura looked to her left, seeing two small kids curled up while shivering. They looked smaller than they are supposed to be. 'What is with this city? Everyone is dying..' Sakura thought, looking at the kids.

After a couple of minutes of walking they reached the store, "There it is." Tazuna stated, they walked into the small, old store. The glass for the large windows were cracked,there wasn't even a door to open or close.

"Welcome." A weary, gruff voice greeted. He has no exception, like the others he looked like he was already dying.

Tazuna looked around, looking for what he wanted. But it was somewhat pointless, barely anything was on the shelf. Two or three tomatoes, six carrots, four beetroots, three green peppers, two cabbages, a couple of calçot, and some old potatoes. 'There is nothing here?' Sakura questioned herself, a startled look was on her face. The man in the navy blue trench coat walked into the store, he walked behind Sakura, looking right at her bag. He reached down to the bag but Sakura moved a bit causing the man to touch Sakura's ass. Sakura gasped, she kicked her right for the men's knee. His blucked, he fell to the ground in pain.

"You bald pervert!" She screamed.

The poor man who was accused of being a pervert croak, "I am not." Tazuna had shock and fear in his eyes, he wasn't expecting that.

-little skip, Time: 5:59 PM-

"Wow I was really surprised back there…" Tazuna trailed off, he looked down at her when she spoke, well yelled.

"What is wrong with this city!" Both of them were heading back home, they got everything well, mostly everything they needed. Sakura felt another hand touch her rear end (I'm not going to witte butt because for some reason i don't like to) a vein popped out from her (large) forehead, "Hey, you!-" Sakura turned around, stopping her shouting to look at the kid.

The girl? Reached out her hands with a large grin, ".Give me..?" The asked slowly, thinking of the right words to say.

Pity was the definition of Sakura's face, she sighed out sadly looking the young child up and down. Sakura set down her backpack and rustled through it, naruto said don't bring anything that isn't needed but she might have seeked a couple pieces of candy past him and her mom. "Here you go." Sakura sweetly added, handing the candy over.

The kid happily, excitedly took the candy with a beaming face of happiness, "T-thank you miss." Sakura nodded to the kid, the girl ran off into the bustling crowd and away from view.

"Ever since Gato came it's been like this." Tazuna whispered so no one but Sakura could hear, "All the adults here have become cowards, and the young kids have decided to do nothing." He hissed out, disappointed in the people of the Land. Sakura picked up her bag and swung it over her shoulders, she whipped the forming tears from her eyes. "That's why we need the bridge to be built, it will give our people hope. We need to get back the energy of this country. Only if...Only if I could finish the bridge sooner, so everything will be normal like it used to be." Tazuna clenched his fist, somewhat explaining how he wants the bridge to be done.

Sakura looked down in frustration but looked towards the sky, 'Sasuke-kun, Sai-san… Naruto-sensei…' She too had hope in her eyes just like Tazuna.

-Same day- Time: 6:01 PM, in the forest-

Sai drivered his sensei's kunai into the wood, he pushed off the tree and landed on the ground. He was tired like really really tired, he never did this much training while in the ANBU. Sure he did training but Danzo was cautious about how much he did, he said he didn't want his precious Sai to get hurt. He doesn't know why Danzo liked him so much, he also didn't know why the 3rd Hokage made him into the academy….one year late too.

'Damn Sasuke is still going up… he is going to beat my highest point?' Sai asked himself while thinking, he breathing was labored and slow. The conversation with Naruto yesterday popped into his mind,

-Sai's POV / mind-

"..That didn't tell me how to balance my spiritual energy." I stated, I was annoyed at the fact he said he would but didn't.

"Yes did." Naruto replied with his normal large smile, he patted my head softly. "Go on, go." He scooted me away, making me almost trip.

2nd memory.

"Close your eyes….deep the connection….Spiritual meditation…..

3rd memory

"How does your chakra feel, how it looks, and it sounds

4th memory

"Just focus on how you feel and slowly move the feeling to your feet…. Meditating helps"

5th memory

"Aerophagia.. It's when you choke on your own air… it doesn't seem like your breathing that much air in, when doing Spiritual meditation but you are.

6th memory

"When focusing your chakra to your feet, don't breathe." Naruto explained.

-Back to normal-

'..wait so he was explaining how to focus chakra to your feet, I was just not listening..I thought he was talking crap…' Sai thought, sighing fill of disappointment of himself.

He stood up straight, he put his hand together to form the Ram hand sign. ''Memory 6, don't breathe.. Memory 5, when choking on your own air it's called; Aerophagia.' Sai didn't breathe, he doesn't want to choke on air, today.

'Memory 2, close your eyes.. connect with your chakra by spiritual meditation.' Sai did just that.

'Memory 3, how does your chakra feel, how it sounds, how it looks..' While closing his eyes, he tried to feel how his own chakra would feel like in his hands, what sound it would make it's visible.

'Memory 4, how do you feel? Slowly move that feeling to your feet.' Sai felt something like dirt and rock push up against him, he focused the best he could, slowly moving that feeling to his feet. The chakra feet that were in feet disappeared with a; losh sound, Sasuke had landed onto the ground making Sai lose his focus.

Sasuke had gotten to eleven meters this time, just one meter left until he caught up to Sai. 'Just one more and I'll be in the lead..tch what did Naruto say to Sai, he isn't doing any better after they talked..' Sasuke thought, glaring at him with his deadly eyes. He sucked but his pride and walked over to Sai, who was glaring at him as if he did something he shouldn't have.

"..What?" Sasuke snapped, getting annoyed with the look.

"You, prince made me lose my focus.." Sai retorted back, "..Go away if you have nothing to say to me." Sai moved his hands together again in the Ram sign.

"...um well…" Sasuke trailed off, not making eye contact with Sai. He had his hands in his pockets like always.

"What?" Sai fumed, getting upset with Sasuke and his embarrassment.

".. You asked Naruto for some tips but when you came back nothing changed." Sasuke explained, "I was wondering what he said to you." He finally got out what he wanted to say.

Sai was expecting something like; what were you doing just now or we should head back for supper but no, he wanted to know what Naruto said. "Give me a reason to tell?" Sai quizzed, crossing his arms. He wasn't going to be nice to Sasuke just because he asked nicely.

"Because we're… we're t-teamates.." He didn't want to admit that they should work together but he really wanted to know what he said, it's almost frustrating.

"Ah?" Sai laughed, trying to get on his nerves. "Is that all?" He was somewhat disappointed in him, that was all he had.

"Hm! Yeah.." Sasuke trailed off again with a light pink blush on his checks for embarrassment. They both glare at each other, Sai having a happy smirk on his face and Sasuke having a pout that he didn't want to his face.

Naruto chuckled at the two, he had stopped meditating, giving up on Kurama and his attitude. He stood up, dusting himself off. "Sai, Sasuke" The said boys looked at their sensei, "Let's get going, I think there is dinner waiting." Naruto stated with an excited look, already drooling just thinking about food. The boys followed their sensei out of the woods and onto one of the many docks to lead to houses, they walked home.

"We're home." Naruto said, taking off his shoes. Sai and Sasuke did the same thing, they walked into the kitchen.

"Sensei!"

"Welcome."

"How was you're training?" Tsunami asked, she was setting down the plates of food. The three got here exactly when she finished cooking.

"Good" Sai replied, smiling while sitting down on a chair.

"Fine." Sasuke was on the right and front of the table, (where he was in the anime) Sai sat right next to him on his right, Sakura was sitting at the head of the table, Tazuna was sitting at the other head, Naruto sat in front of Sasuke, and Inari sat right to him.

"Thank you Nami-chan." Naruto grabbed his chopsticks, and started to eat. His students looked at Naruto after calling Tsunami; Nami.

"This is great. It's been awhile since we had some many people over, has it?" Tazuna bubbled, asking his daughter.

"It has." She answered, with a happy and content smile. Sasuke stuffed his face full of soup and rice, Sakura ate slowly not wanting to eat too much, Sai also ate slowly while looking at Sasuke in disgust.

Sasuke quickly stood up, "Seconds?" He quizzed, he stopped for a second before turning around and throwing up his food.

"You shouldn't eat so fast then stand!" Naruto laughed loudly, almost in tears.. It wasn't even funny.

Sakura slammed her fits into the table, a vein popped out of her forehead from angry. "IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUKE, DON"T EAT!" She shouted at Sasuke, even though it was her 'Sasuke-kun'.

"No, I need to eat to beat Sai." Sasuke stated, wipping his mouth with his hand.

"Yeah he kinda needs to eat to live…" Sai joked with a smirk, making Sakura mader.

"That's true but I wouldn't recommend barfing." Naruto added with a full mouth, throwing the soup into his mouth faster than Sasuke. Everyone looked at him in disgust.

-little skip- 6:58 PM-

Everyone finished eating the amazing food Tsunami made, some having seconds or more. Naruto was washing the dishes with Sai, he asked Tsunami if he could and she let him though she didn't want to trouble them.

Sasuke, Tsunami, Inari, and Tazuna sat at the table, drinking some green tea. Naruto had bubbles on his face and arms from adding too much soap into the sink. Sakura stood in front of the wall, looking at a photo of Tazuna,Tsunami, Inari and someone else but it was ripped right there.

"Um, why do you have a torn picture?" She asked, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Sakura, "Inari-kun was staring at this the whole time we were having dinner. The torn part looks like someone intentionally ribbed that one piece off, who was there?" She asked again, pointing at the ribbed part of said photo. Tsunami, Inari, and Tazuna went stiff at her question, they all had dark faces full of saddest. This action didn't go unnoticed by Naruto, who looked down at Tazuna for an answer, also wanting to know more.

"It was my husband." Tsunami mumbled just barely over a whisper, she didn't move one bit. But Inari clutch his hands into fits under the table.

"He was the hero of his town." Tazuna looked down at his tea cup, steaming off steam.

Inari stood up, not bothering to push his chair in. He walked over to the front door, Tsunami quickly stood up, "Inari, where are you going?" She asked, worry in her tone and eyes.

He didn't answer back, making Tsunami rush over to the door, "Father, I asked you not to talk about him in front of Inari." She scolded, opening and closing the door to run after her son.

"Was?" Sai questioned breaking the silence, he was still washing the dish, Naruto was too focus on the conversation to help him.

"What's wrong with Inari-kun?" Sakura asked at the same time Sai asked his question.

Tazuna sighed one weak and sad sigh before speaking, "Inari never knew his real father but he still had a father that wasn't blood related. It didn't matter if they shared the same blood or not, they were very close just like a father and son." He explained while looking at the table. Sasuke also looked down, Naruto let out a soft sigh that was unhear, turning to wash the dishes. "Inari used to laugh and smile a lot back then, too…. But.." He stopped for a second to grip his hands out of anger. He started to cry, tears falling onto the table, "He.. he changed. After the incident that happened to his step father. The word 'courage' was taken away from the people on this island, specially Inari forever." Tazuna's eyes held hatred for someone or something.

" 'The incident' "? Sai asked, he fishned cleaning and sat down in his original set. Naruto also went to his spot and sat down.

"To explain the incident I will need to tell you guys about the man who was known as a hero in this land fist." Tazuna stated, taking his glasses off to wipe his tears away.

'A hero?' They all thought.

"It was about three years ago when that man and Inari met each other. A kid stole Inari's dog, wanting him as his own. The kid got angry at Inari for talking back, he threw 'Pochi' that dog into the sea. The kid said he should jump in there and help his dog, seeing how it was drowning not knowing how to swim. But Inari also couldn't swim, but that didn't stop the kid from kicking Inari into the sea. This isn't important but Pochi learned how to swim and left Inari. The boys who stole and pushed Inari into the water ran after the dog, leaving Inari in water to go under water, passing out due to no air." Tazuna explained, the kids of team seven had startled or stunned suppression.

"Luckily when Inari woke up he was on dry ground, the person who saved him was a fisherman, giving him food and water. The man reassured Inari by saying; If you're a man, live in a way where you won't have any regret protecting whatever is important to you with your two arms, no matter long, sad, or rough it is, even if it costs your own life. His name was Kaiza. Like I said he was a fisherman, who came to this island to seek his dream. Ever since that, Inari started becoming attached to Kaiza. Probably because he doesn't remember his real father, He followed him around, fished together, cooked together, hung out together just like a father and son. It wasn't too long after that when Kaize became part of our family, marrying my daughter." Tazuna sighed out, letting air out through his nose to calm down.

They all smiled, even Sasuke, happy that they found and hid someone like Kaiza in their lives. "Kaiza was the person that we the land of waves needed, he risked his life many times to help out this town and it's people. Example as he jumped into rushing water to close a dam broke due to the flooding, the water could have easily swept him away but that didn't stop him, he reached the other side of the dam and wrapped a rope around it so the others could close it. After that, the people here started calling Kaiza a hero, Becoming a father that Inari could be proud of. Around that time Gato set his eyes on this town and one night… Gato had seen Kaiza and his heroic actions, probably thinking he would be trouble, Gato had captured and tortured him. But anything he did Kaiza would suck it up so he decided to put him on a pole that held his arms up like a cross, he was in front of everyone beaten half to death, everyone in the town watched as he said; This man went against the production of Gato corporation, therefore he will be executed because of his sins… Inari watched as Kaiza was.. was decapitated. After that Inari started to resent Kaiza or anyone else for that. The town started to change too, giving up hope." Tazuna finished with a hitch sigh.

"If- What was Kaize's dream?" Naruto asked, standing up, readying to go to bed.

It took Tazuna a while to think of it, "I believe it was to find someone to protect." He answered, looking down.

"Well he found it…" Naruto mumbled to himself, he put a hand on Sakura's head. "Great job at protecting Tazuna-san today." He smiled at her, lighting the depressed room up with warmth. "Sai and Sasuke, great job at training, you two didn't stop working, i'm very proud of you three." Naruto up and ruffed the two boys' hair.

"It's not that big of a deal." Sasuke mutters, he stood up and walked away from Naruto and his 'germs'. "I'm going to bed." He bowed his head to Tazuna but not fully.

"Oh! Right, you two also need your sleep." Naruto pushed Sakura and Sai towards the stairs with a cheeky smile. "Sai don't stay up reading, Sakura don't even try and sleep next to Sasuke." They went up the stairs and turned left, heading to their room that the three shared. Naruto turned to Tazuna, giving him a face that showed him that he knows it's hard but it will be fine.

"I'm for a walk." Naruto stated walking to the door, he turned and looked at Tazuna again. "You need your sleep because you're old." He laughed out, "Night gramps." He said, making sure to rub his 'joke' into Tazuna's face. Naruto closed the door behind him and went on his way,he walked down the docks, looking at water that moved ever so slightly. 'Silent but deadly.' Naruto thought, sighing at himself. He lifted his head up, hearing Miss Tsunami's voice. Naruto really wanted to spy and watch what she was saying at Inari but he was pooped, he had to heal himself -because Kurama being Kurama didn't help- which isn't a problem because he is half uzumaki and almost everyone that was in that clan had amazing healing powers or to heal themselves. Naruto had healed his right hand so he could eat and do simple things like; patting his students heads, he also healed around half the ribs that he fractured. But that still left his left hand and the other ribs still broken or fractured.

Naruto walked off one of the docks and went onto the ground, heading into the woods. He didn't want to sleep in the house, he was upset that he is remembering things he truly didn't want to remember. Especially right now, this place or this land was the place where something happened to Naruto in his past that he wished he could change. But as people as; you can't change the past. so settle your mind, let go, relax and create a better future. Naruto really liked that saying even though he didn't really like it when someone said it to him.

Naruto sat down, leaning onto the tree that he sat against a couple of hours ago. He closed his eyes, just wanting to go to sleep without nightmares. But god was not on his side tonight, it never was.

-Naruto's dreams and his POV-

I opened my eyes, 'seeing' that I felt something warm on my face. It's probably with sunlight from the windows, i always forget to close the curtains before i go to bed. When I did open my eyes it wasn't the sun or a campfire.. Something red dripped off my hair and on my nose.

"No no no no" I jumped up and ran to the water, a hand gripping onto the grass and dirt. It was my team mate, I know it was. He had a burn scar on his right hand, there was a large burn on this hand. It could be, I was just talking to him.

I pulled that hand.

The hand came out of the water..

Just the hand

Nothing else

Just his hand came out

I grabbed my hair, thinking of something i could do.. "UNA" I cried, panicky looking around.

"UNA W-EHERE ARE Y- oh" I stopped looking, dropping on hands to my side. "She died…" I weakly stood up.

I looked down at my friend's hand, it was covered and smeared this maroon, his scar was barely even visible. I wanted to throw up,

I'm going to throw

I gulped my puke down my throat, i have no right to be puking right now,

I ran towards the water, leaping into it, but everything was white.

I fell onto hard ground, i whipped my head around, trying to figure out where I am

I was just in water…

"HE~ BRAT!" A rough voice called out, it sounded like he was happy, Excited, but scared. Scared of what? "OI! I'M FUCKING TALKIN' TO YA!" He was drunk, 100%

I moved my head at the man, he was tall, like tall and tall. Towering over me. He swinged his right leg back and then right for my face,

I couldn't do anything, but I know I can. I'm not weak. The kick hit me, right in the chin. Sending me flying into a wall.

My back collided with the wall, the puke I was holding in, came out. All over my shirt, chin and the ground.

I looked up at the man who kicked me.. But now there were three silhouettes at the opening, I was definitely in the alleyway. Sink of the alcohol and my own puke hit my nose. Tears swelled into my eyes.

"Pleas- stop.." I stuttered, but they didn't listen

They kicked, punched, threw things, stabbed, spit on, jumped onto me. I have no idea what I did.

"YOU UGLY DEMON!"

"YOU KILLER"

"JUST DIED ALREADY!"

"WHO NEEDS YOU!"

"NO ONE LOVES YOU"

"NO WILL NEVER LOVE YOU!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

"NO ONE LIKES YOUR SHIT, YOU SHIT!"

"YOU KILLED MY MOTHER, YOU BRAT!"

"MY SISTER DIDN"T NEED TO DIED!"

"HE NEEDS TO DIE!"

People shouted, scolded me from all around. I remember.. I bumped into one of them, he thought I was trying to kill him. He pushed me in a alleyway, and they made more people come and beat the living crap out of me. Sure I did kill their moms, dads, sisters, brothers, others but I didn't mean to. I was that uchiha fault. I'll kill him..

Another kick went into my ribs, making a creaking sound.

It didn't matter if I was the son of the fourth or not, they did whatever to me because I killed someone they loved.

Some grabbed me by the shirt, which was almost off my body. She threw me back into the back wall, my vision blurred

Something in my ears ring

My eyes felt heavy but something burst inside of me.. Fear

I need to run

They'll kill me

I-

Help

Yes i need help

SOmeone please i-i didn't do anything

I spinned my body around, to face the wall. My left hand hit the ground, sending pain into my hand from my ribs.. The world went white

I gasped for air, I choked

Water came into my lungs, I flung my limbs around

Frantically trying to swim, didn't work my body was to heavy

Everything hurts.

My eyes slowly closed, I shot off the ground and onto my knees, gasping for air, this time it came.

"Sensei?" Someone familiar asked, but they were blurry, my eyes focused and I fell to the ground.

The ground felt nice, warm but cold at the same time. The grass seems to welcome me, so it would be rude not to go in…..
