Naruto brought his bloody hands together in familiar sign.
"Henge no jutsu!" The boy hissed quietly. Instantly his appearance changed. Gone was his blond hair replaced with a deep dark shade of brown. Instead his jumpsuit clothing the brown haired man now war a long sleeve green shirt with matching blue shinobi pants and sandals.
Naruto's whisker birthmarks faded from his face and he wore the Konoha headband much like Lee and Gai did. The piece of cloth was secured firmly around his waist similar to a belt. The only thing that stayed the same was his electrifying blue eyes.
The newly formed Naruto walked out of the alley he had been hiding in. Looking like a normal chunin ninja he knew he wouldn't be caught by any civilians wanting to have a play date with the actual Naruto. It only made it that much better that even ninja couldn't detect that he was in henge.
It had been a year or so back when he had discovered that his henge jutsu was a real transformation. Jiraiya had told him he had believed it had something to do with the Kyuubi inside of him. It had just been a hunch, but it was a closest thing to an explanation they had.
Naruto hadn't really cared though. The only thing that mattered was how super cool it was that no one would know if he was under henge or not.
Even in the henge Naruto still felt pain. The bleeding in his shoulder had at least stopped when he had ripped some old cloth and tightened it around the wound, but the slight numbing feeling around the area hadn't left.
When Naruto had looked at the injury it seemed to be healing albeit a bit slow. For that he was grateful. It seemed as if the fox was getting back to work already.
Worse even still Naruto felt a pain in his chest that he couldn't see. He also knew it wouldn't be so easily healed either. To some extent his mind had told him it all went back to Sakura.
The words she had said to him cut him worse than any knife they could have stabbed in him. The pain seared through his heart like a wildfire. He wanted this pain to go away if even by just a little. He only knew one way to do it.
Jiraiya had shown it to him on the trip. It was only amount of time before it happened, but inevitably his crazy sensei had taken him to a bar.
"Everyone has got to have a vice kid. We're ninja. It's only natural." That had been the only serious thing Jiraiya had said that night before going to get drunk off his ass.
Not Naruto though. He had tried, but he found he could only get a little buzzed if he drank enough. Unfortunately he would never be drunk. Kyuubi filtered out all the alcohol before it even had a chance to settle into his system.
Naruto had been a little disappointed, but the boy decided it wasn't too bad. After trying the stuff his sensei put in front of him he wasn't going to be a heavy drinker anyway. He could live with just the slight buzz that would befall him instead.
Naruto's walked through the streets of his village. His feet dragged and he couldn't bring himself to try and act happy. When he finally arrived at his destination he stopped out front and stared.
It was the old barbecue place he used to come around with his team. It had a bar and it was mostly ninja oriented so it would serve his purposes.
Going inside the blonde found a way to the bar and took a seat. The bartender there gave him a funny look, but Naruto paid him no mind.
"Get me a bottle of your strongest stuff." His voice quiet and reserved it seemed as if it was barely over a whisper.
The bartender scoffed, "Sorry kid you're a few years short of drinking anything other than water." The man turned to leave already on the lookout for another client. Before he had the chance to Naruto placed his headband on the table and spoke again.
"Old enough to kill, old enough to drink." Jiraiya had told Naruto that one when the boy had questioned him about his age as well. The bartender stared hard at Naruto the lines in his forehead becoming much more visible.
Finally sighing he gave a quick nod to the boy in resignation. Naruto gave a small smile in gratitude knowing he had gotten what he wanted.
The man disappeared into the back with what Naruto figured was him getting his drink. Having time he glanced around the small restaurant. Usually when they did work up the nerve to come in some shinobi would go and freak them out till they ditched.
"Heh stupid civilians" Naruto said a little bitterly. After what happened today Naruto didn't know what to think about the villagers. Hadn't he earned their respect? He had saved them. He had saved all of them in the Pein invasion.
They had cheered for him. He'd heard them. He'd felt their praise. Were people so easily turned? Was it all a lie?
'If it was a lie…' he began to wonder. 'Then what the hell is the truth?' To that question he thought he heard something in the back of his mind.
'Kyuubi?' He reached out mentally. He couldn't investigate it though as a sharp bark of laughter drew his attention to another part of the room. Sitting down at a dark table in the corner Naruto saw a group of people he was vaguely familiar with.
With gravity defying hair Naruto spotted his own sensei Kakashi Hatake at the table. With him he assumed they were the other teams' teachers based on descriptions he had heard in the past by their students.
The raven haired lady with bandages for a dress he believed went by Kurenai. Kiba had always mentioned how she was smoking fucking hot. Naruto realized that his friend always seemed to be horny when it came to girls.
Next to her was the only other female at the table. A smile tugged its way onto his face as he recognized her from a faint memory. Anko he heard them calling her yet to him she would always be the crazy snake lady from the chunin exams. When he was a kid she had scared the shit out of him.
Alongside Kakashi were two other males he had seen frequently in his younger days. Asuma Sarutobi to his right was son to the deceased Third Hokage. He had met him many times when he played in the Hokage office as a child.
To his left was a man that made Naruto shudder. With bigger eyebrows then Lee and a green jumpsuit that was way tighter than it should have been was Gai. Eccentric, loud, and a taijutsu specialist he was strong, but the man was a little too weird even for Naruto.
Listening Naruto found he could easily make out what they were saying they were so loud. He blamed it on the fact that many of the men there looked more than a little tipsy.
Turning away from the group he pushed a little chakra to his ears. Smiling he figured it didn't hurt to see what they were saying. Blackmail was an opportunity that Naruto never passed over.
Plans of pranking already took form in his mind. He found himself feeling better than he did when he came into the bar.
'Maybe I can save the day yet' Naruto thought hopefully. His shoulder was feeling immensely better and Naruto was ready for that drink. Listening he heard the group of mentors behind him start to speak about a very interesting topic.
"Have you heard Kakashi? Your kid Naruto finally brought the Uchiha back." Asuma spoke first a slight slur detected throughout his speech. Kurenai on the other side of the table looked amazed. The loud jump suit wearing kid had actually done it? That was a surprise.
Kakashi downing a shot glass of sake slammed the cup back down to the table. "Not you to Asuma!" He said exasperated. Gone was the usual quiet and reserved man replaced by a loud and obnoxious voice that was no doubt from alcohol.
"I just can't get away from this shit." He started again. "No matter where I go I hear the same thing. Honestly I don't believe it. Ain't a chance in hell Naruto beat Sasuke. It's just a fact."
If Naruto was hurt by the statement at all he didn't show it. He instead opted to nod dumbly at the bartender who had finally brought him his bottle.
Back at the table Anko look slightly annoyed at Kakashi. "No matter what you believe the brat did it. You can't deny him the results. The Uchiha is in the hospital right now and is set to be clear tomorrow."
Kakashi barked out in laughter. "As kids Naruto could never beat Sasuke. He was just too good for Naruto. Nothing has changed about that." Picking up another shot glass he placed it by his lips.
"Even worse Naruto hasn't changed at all since he was a kid. Still the same annoying brat he was then as he is now." The man downed the glass without a second thought.
Naruto stared hard at the bottle in front of him. The look of hurt and betrayal finally began to dawn in his blue eyes. Sakura came back to the forefront of his mind along with Kakashi. Did no one give a damn about him?
"Hey assh—" Anko tried getting a word or two in but Kakashi cut her off. It wasn't right she thought and it wasn't fair to the blonde gaki either.
Sure he wasn't the brightest tool in the shed, but he got the job done and he had done a damn good to if what she heard was correct. Who the hell was Kakashi to condemn his own student?
"Asuma, what I wouldn't do to trade someone like Shikamaru for Naruto. Your boy is a genius while Naruto was always slow to catch on to anything we said. Still is pretty slow actually. It doesn't help that he doesn't have any talent as a ninja."
"Talentless?" Naruto muttered to himself. "Well who the hells fault is that? Damn it!" He put his head into his hands. Someone, anyone had to think him better than this. First it was Sakura and now his own sensei? What the hell did everyone else think of him?
The boy couldn't even make himself stop listening. It hurt him to hear, but it would hurt even worse if he didn't finish this out. He needed to know everything. Even if it killed him on the inside.
Asuma's laughter boomed throughout the whole room filling it entirely. "Sorry Kakashi I've seen your student. He doesn't have anything on my kids" He said smiling. "In fact I don't think he has anything on any of the kids in our age group. I don't even know how he became a ninja!" Kakashi joined him in laughter after that.
Kurenai didn't say a word the whole time. Sipping her glass of alcohol words of insult burned in her throat to be said. She didn't agree with so blatantly putting down your own student. If anyone had slandered Hinata or her other students like this she would have had them by the throats.
Unable to contain her irritation she voiced her question, "Kakashi don't you think you should have a little more faith in your student?"
"If you knew him like I do then you wouldn't be asking that." Kakashi's eye smile conveyed all of his mirth.
Naruto got up from his seat. He'd had enough. Naruto walked quickly over to the exit. The drink on his table lying completely forgotten. The bartender looked curiously at him before calling out to the boy.
"Hey kid aren't you gonna drink this?" There seemed to be an underlay of annoyance in the man's voice. Hand at the knob of the door to leave Naruto felt guilty.
He had antagonized the man to getting him the drink and then he ups and leaves before he even opens the bottle? He would have been a little pissed to.
Walking back to the counter he dug in his pocket for some cash. Taking out more than enough he laid it all on the table before looking at the bartender.
"Sorry…" He muttered quietly. "Here's the money though. And if you could go and just give the bottle to them, it'll be on me. Keep the extra." He finished nodding over to Kakashi's table. He forced a weary and tired smile on his face. He couldn't seem to think straight anymore.
The bartender nodded before pocketing all the money and taking the unopened bottle. Naruto stayed still for a moment. Unsure of what to do now he slowly made his way back over to the door to leave.
"Here" Going to the table the young boy had pointed to he placed the bottle down roughly on the table. The occupants looked up at him. Gai looked mildly surprised while Asuma looked on in glee at the bottle as did Kakashi.
"I'm sorry we didn't order this." Kurenai said apologetically not wanting to pay for anything extra. Kakashi shot her a glare. To him this was essentially free sake! Why in Kami's name would you question it?
"I know you didn't, someone got it for you." None of the male shinobi at the table noticed when the man's eyes had flickered immediately to the young man leaving the bar, but Kurenai and Anko had.
"What a youthful surprise! This is most wonderful." Gai exclaimed watching Asuma pour the free alcohol into shot glasses.
Picking the new glass Asuma lightly sipped it. "Now this is the good stuff." He said looking at Gai and Kakashi happily. His response was a thumbs up and an eye smile. Kurenai still looking at the where the stranger had left finally began to stand up.
"Excuse me for ju—"She had started before Anko cut her off.
"I'll be right back." Standing the woman made her way over to the door before stopping to look back. "Don't drink all the sake without me otherwise there might be some unforeseen consequences." She chirped happily.
The hissing of snakes was heard as the men realized what this meant. Asuma and Kakashi cringed at her statement while Gai seemed to mutter something that sounded closely related to 'unyouthful'.
Before Kurenai had the chance to even try and stop what she knew Anko was going to do the woman had already used her shunshin no jutsu. Sighing she sat back down next to Asuma.
Taking a small glass of the alcohol herself she just hoped Anko wouldn't do anything too bad to the poor boy.
'After all…' she thought sipping her glass slowly. 'He did just buy us some damn good sake.'
Naruto had just walked outside of the small bar. Still in henge he decided maybe it was better just to walk aimlessly for a while to clear his thoughts because it felt as if his head was going to explode.
"I'm such a god damn idiot." He muttered to himself. To think he thought that they actually cared for him! It hurt him more than he would ever admit aloud though.
It felt as if he was suffocating on the air itself. He had finally started to feel like he belonged for once only for it to get thrown all in his face. It couldn't be true though. Someone had to be messing with him. He couldn't have gone through so much, thrown his life on the line, and worked his ass off for everything he knew to have been wrong. To have been a giant lie.
Again in the back of his mind he heard a dark whispering as if someone was speaking. Yet again he was unable to investigate it as he walked head first into the ample assets of one Anko Mitarashi.
"Well, don't you have a pair of brass balls gaki." Anko said with a shit eating grin. "Usually I don't let it get this far until the second date." She finished winking.
Looking up he instantly recognized who he had just ran into. Narrowing his eyes he wondered if the bartender had just put a sign on him saying 'I gave you the damn bottle come and get me bitches!'
His angered blue eyes threw daggers at Anko yet the only thing Anko seemed to think was how familiar the boy felt to her. She definitely had never met this kid before in her life, but his blue eyes seemed to ring bells in her head.
"Go to hell." Naruto spat.
"Aww don't be like that kid. I just wanted to tell you it wasn't very nice to eavesdrop on the adults' conversation when we're talking." Naruto stiffened at the comment.
'So he was eavesdropping' She thought curiously instantly reading his body language. 'Now what the hell is this kid doing listening to a bunch of jonin?'
"And I just wanted to tell you to go to hell." The venom dripped in his words. Shouldering past the woman he tried to attempt to walk away. Why couldn't she just leave him alone?
"Hey now gaki I just thought it'd be nice for us to have a little talk now." She purred. "And maybe if you're lucky we can do a little more than talking." She didn't want him to leave quite yet. Not only did she want an explanation to the boy, but she wanted to figure out why the boy looked so familiar to her.
Anko prided herself in not forgetting faces, most of the time that is. Either way the boy wasn't just going to leave. And Anko knew if you wanted to get a guy to stay all you had to do was entice them a little. No man ever refused Anko.
Anko placed a firm hand on his shoulder not meaning to let him go. Naruto hadn't meant to retaliate when she had touched him, but he had just been so angry. He hadn't expected her to try and stop him. She was supposed to go back to the bar and drink with all the others.
When he felt his body begin to spin he quickly took hold of Anko's arm and held firmly. Bending his knees slightly he used the momentum of his spin to sweep one of his legs out catching Anko off guard. Her legs buckled in an instant as she began to fall.
Shocked Anko tried to catch her balance before she fell, but Naruto's hard grip on her arm forced her down on her ass. The dust from her fall bellowed out in fans around her. She felt a pressure on top of her. Opening her eyes she once again met the crystal blue ones of the gaki.
She felt her ire grow. Scratch the balls of brass this kid had balls of steel to embarrass her in front of mere civilians. She was really trying to be nice to. Kure-chan had said if she was nice to other people they wouldn't be assholes to her.
A tick mark started to appear on her forehead and Naruto felt the temperature drop ten degrees around them.
'She looks really angry.' Naruto thought. He swore he head cackling in the back of his mind again. Really, this couldn't day couldn't get any worse could it?
"Well shit" Naruto cursed before getting up and running like hell through the crowd of civilians.
"You're so dead asshole!" He could hear Anko's declaration and promise of pain as he was running. Quickly taking to the rooftops he pushed whatever chakra he had into his feet to go faster.
It was still a lot more difficult than he had thought. It looked as if his chakra reserves were still really low. Anko who had gone for the chase immediately saw the blonde gaki jumping the rooftops.
"Like hell if that little shit thinks he's getting away." She said before pushing her own chakra to her feet and going off at speeds most jonin didn't have. The kid was brave and bold; she'd even admit he was pretty fast managing to keep out of her reach, but it still wouldn't be enough.
Grinning she took out some kunai. The problem meet solution. For a second she thought maybe it was wrong to throw knives at a young and weak genin. Then she remembered why she was doing this. Game on. Consequences be damned.
Naruto only a few feet ahead was breathing hard. Sensing another kunai to his right he dodged just in time. Feeling a sting he realized he'd been grazed again. A little blood seeped from a small cut on his arm.
It didn't really matter as there were about a dozen other identical scratches everywhere else to. The snake lady had been tossing kunai at him for the past half an hour. No matter how many turns he took, and no matter how many crowds he dove into she was still on his tail.
He had no chakra, his body hurt, he was angry, he was so many things that he didn't really comprehend it, but he was done playing this little game of hers.
It wasn't as if he could go on any longer anyway. He just still wasn't strong enough yet from his previous injuries. Naruto against better judgment jumped down to the ground seeing an alley a few feet ahead.
'Maybe for once I should have just stayed in the hospital like I was supposed to.' He thought mirthlessly falling through the shadows of the walls.
Watching him go into the nearby alley she followed closely behind not ready to give up on her pursuit. She wondered though why he would go into such a closed off area. He had to know she would have him trapped like a rat. It would have been better if he had just kept running.
Landing on the ground gracefully she found the gaki just standing there with his arms crossed. Sweat beaded down his face and his breath was labored, but the kid still looked at Anko as if this was her fault. Her irritation grew. Who the hell did he think he was?
"Why can't you just leave me the hell alone?" Strike number 3. Leave him alone? He was the one who had knocked her to the ground. She ignored the fact that she was the one who originally started pestering him.
"Sorry gaki you got to pay for earlier." Anko spoke nonchalantly. "Sojasosai no jutsu!" (Twin Snakes Kill Each Other) From her sleeves two snakes erupted and shot towards the disguised Naruto.
Ramming him into the back of the alley he landed on roughly on the ground. The two snakes slithered across his body. One wrapped around his neck constricting any air passages. The other snake bit into his arm. Naruto groaned out at the intrusion.
"Maybe if you ask nicely I'll give you the antidote to the poison I just injected into you." Granted she didn't actually inject poison into him – as that would be illegal to do – Anko smiled as she thought the kid was finally getting his ass handed to him.
Nobody messed with Anko and lived without the scars to prove it. So it generally surprised her when Naruto started laughing. It was weak and hoarse, but it wasn't filled with amusement or even fear like she might have thought. It sounded sad and angry. Most importantly it sounded lost.
"God damn it." Naruto croaked. His appearance started to blur as he could no longer sustain the henge jutsu.
"A henge?" Confused Anko waited to see what the kid really looked like. He seemed to have gone to a lot of trouble to keep himself hidden after all.
The first thing she saw was bright blonde spiky hair that'd blind you if you stared too long. Whisker marks appeared on each of his cheeks along with bright orange pants that usually went along with his jumpsuit.
It was now that Anko realized why the boy had seemed so familiar earlier. Those crystal blue eyes only really belonged to one person in the entire village. This kid was the Kyuubi Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto.
It hit her after that about the whole bar thing, why the kid had been listening, and why he'd left so quickly. He'd heard all the nasty things the other jonin and even his own sensei had said about him.
For a second she couldn't even imagine how the kid felt after hearing all of that. Your teacher and your team were supposed to be your family. You didn't turn your back on your family and somehow Kakashi managed to mess even that up.
"Hey kid I don't know wha—" She was cutoff when Naruto started to speak.
"Damn it!" He cursed. "You just couldn't leave me the hell alone could you? I just wanted to fucking leave! Did you not get that?" Naruto asked. Anko had the decency to flinch away. She knew when she was wrong. She felt bad.
"Boss is going to be pissed at me." Naruto said angrily to himself.
"Boss?" Anko said confused. Then all of a sudden the kid that had been sitting in front of her poofed out of existence like he was never there.
"A Kage Bunshin? When the hell did he make that?" She was surprised to say the least, but more than anything she wanted to apologize to the kid.
Not just for her actions, but she felt like he deserved one from the others to. Anko knew how to poke fun and tease, but she also knew when someone has had enough. He had been tired and the boy seemed so lonely. If anyone knew what that felt like it was her.
Sighing she figured the kid would probably go hide out for a while. That's what she would have done when she was younger. Knowing she wouldn't find him she made her way back to the bar where her friends were.
They were probably wondering where she had gotten off to anyway. She figured at least there she could enjoy some alcohol to make her feel better. She'd see the kid again.
He wasn't that hard to miss and it wasn't as if she was going anywhere either. She'd apologize then. She'd make this right.
Across town sitting atop of the Hokage Mountain sat the real Naruto Uzumaki. Feet dangling over the edge of the mountain he looked over his village. Naruto remembered coming up here as a child. It was peaceful to him and it was his home away from home.
He could always come up here and sort out his thoughts. No one would interrupt up him and everything was better here. Maybe it was just the air.
Naruto felt the clone he had made right after leaving the bar dispel. It was supposed to go and get food for him. Judging from the lack of food and Naruto feeling the remains of its chakra flowing back into his system he assumed the quest for food had failed.
The memories of the clone came back to him as well. He felt so angry. Was his life a lie? If so then what was the truth? He wanted to know.
"Fuck!" Naruto yelled. His eyes narrowed in anger and frustration. Kakashi knew. Kakashi had to have known. Something as valuable as that and Kakashi hadn't even told him. Something like this would have furthered his training so much more.
"You were my sensei damn it." He bellowed even though no one was there to hear. "You were supposed to help me…" His voice quiet, tears welled in his eyes.
Sakura "You're my teammate. We're supposed to work together. We're supposed to be friends"
Images of others, the civilians, Asuma, Kurenai, Anko, Neji, Kiba, Shikamaru, his friends, "What do you want from me?"
"You're a talentless ninja; you aren't gonna last a minute out there." "Such a dobe" "Naruto you're so stupid" "Your destined to be a failure." 'Trash"
Ignore it. He had to ignore it. Ignore the comments, ignore the pain, ignore the looks, and ignore the hurt. He refused to let the tears fall. He wouldn't be that weak anymore. He had promised himself that he would stop crying.
"I just have to prove myself to them. That's what I have to do." He said encouraging himself. He could win back their affection.
"After 16 years you still believe you can prove anything to them. You are more of a fool then I took you for Naruto Uzumaki." The Kyuubi's voice rumbled clear this time. Unlike before Naruto could understand everything he said.
'Shut up! You don't have a say in this fox." Naruto raged at the beast. Someone had to take his pain. Someone had to be his outlet. 'You don't know anything, they're my friends!'
Naruto wanted to deny it all. He wanted to believe with all his heart that everything was going to be okay. If things weren't okay than Naruto was lost. Who would he be without these people? How could he stand-alone again?
"Such a stupid and naïve child you are kit." Kyuubi narrowed his eyes in his cage. "Do friends hit each into walls and call you demon? Do friends mock all the hard work you've ever done? Do friends talk behind your back saying how you're a talentless idiot? Do friends shove Chidori through your chest? What friends are those? Pray tell me fool I'm curious."
Mark after mark the beast listed things that happened today, things that have happened in the past, things that Naruto had always ignored.
Naruto put his hands in his knees. He muttered to himself. "Wrong, you're wrong. They're wrong. It's not a lie. My life it's not a lie. It's not a joke." There had to be something to true. There had to be light. Naruto didn't want to be alone again. He couldn't be alone again.
He screamed at no one. Loud and ugly he screamed. No one could hear him. It didn't even matter that he screamed. Something had to give.
"I still have others I cherish. No matter what anyone else says I still have others I must protect." He had vowed not to be weak. He had vowed that no harm would come to those he dubbed 'precious'. He had to hang on to that. He wasn't going to break his vow just yet. Not yet.
'Stupid child. You will learn one way or another that what I speak is true. You could have had this much easier to bear than it has to be.' Kyuubi thought solemnly closing his eyes. There was no point in arguing with the blonde at this point.
"Naruto Uzumaki" An unknown voice spoke out to him. Raising his head and looking back he saw one of the Anbu. With a white cat mask and cascading purple hair she looked every bit the professional she was meant to be.
"Yes?" Even to Naruto his voice sounded stiff and distant.
"Hokage-sama requires your presence immediately." The Neko Anbu replied.
He forced a smile to his lips. "Baa-chan?" He whispered out as if testing the word. He had forgotten. Forgotten the one he also considered family. Smiling more naturally he stood to his feet. "At least I know I'm wanted there." He said mirthlessly.
Nodding in acknowledgement to the Anbu she disappeared instantly. Walking to the very edge of the cliff he looked over his village watching a spark of drive and determination burn. Yet in that drive lingered a thriving desperation.
He vowed right then and there," So long as there is someone for me to protect, someone for me to cherish, someone for me to be strong for than I will never give up. Not ever." His fists clenched and the wind blew strongly. He had to keep trying. He wouldn't fall now.
Pushing chakra to his feet he left for the Hokage Tower. Realizing this was probably going to be about Sasuke he smiled. He'd finally get a little recognition for his efforts. He'd finally see someone proud of everything he's done up to this point.
A/N - So that was chapter 3. What do ya think? Originally all of chapter 3 finished the Konoha arc, but I ended up deciding it was to long and I split it into two. Hopefully I'll have the second half up tomorrow, I just have to do a little proofreading. So yeah that's that.
Umm on to what kinda went down in this chapter the big thing I wanted to say was Anko was in the chapter. I am a pretty big fan of Anko and her character so letting me know what you think about her would be pretty great just saying. She will play a bigger role in this story as we move one and I just wanted to make note of that.
So good news about last chapter? I got reviews. Awesome! Bad news about last chapter? I got some pretty bad reviews. Not so awesome... but hey I think there's a learning curve to this and you guys leaving reviews only helps me figure it out that much faster. So bad reviews or not any reviews are accepted and valued.
Quickly going off what some of you guys said on Sakura. Umm I'm sorry? I don't really know what to tell ya. I know it was really cliché of me to use her as a catalyst character to set Naruto off, but it's how I wrote it. I don't really know what else to say about that. I wish I could have been a better writer for you, but I wasn't. I only hope I can impress you by adding some better chapters to my story.
Thanks!
