Welcome to my first Fanfiction everyone! I hope you're doing well. I'm not very knowledgeable on the inner workings of , so please, if I do anything wrong in either formatting or anything else.
LET. ME. KNOW.
Also, story starts off dark. It gets lighter after the first chapter. I'm posting the first 2 or 3 chapters at the same time to get some interest.
Thanks, and enjoy the story!
NOTICE: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO, NARUTO IS PROPERTY OF KISHIMOTO. ALSO, CREDIT GOES TO HANAMAKI. I BASED THE START OF THIS STORY ON THEIR STORY, ARVUM.

Everything had gone to hell. There was nobody left. The Fourth Great Shinobi War ravaged the lands, the people, and his spirits.
Naruto felt dead.
Nobody was alive for him anymore. He knew what true suffering was now. Sure, it was hard watching Shikamaru get incinerated by Madara. Maybe it was even hard to see Choji explode from the inside out?
No.
It was truly hard when he watched his sensei die. He watched in horror as Kakashi slowly disintegrated. He watched as he cried for help when his face melted off. It was harder to see this than when Obito stabbed Sasuke.
But he had won! He had achieved everything he had ever wanted. He had gotten peace.
Except he hadn't.
Kakashi. Sasuke. Sakura. Choji. Shika. Ino. Lee. Tenten. Neji. Kiba. Shino. Hinata. They were all gone.
Killed by men trying to play god with the Juubi.
He was empty. There was no more hope. No more dream of becoming hokage.
No more Konoha.
Even Kurama had been taken away from him. Naruto couldn't do anything with a broken world, could he? So that's when he made the decision.
He crawled over the dead, rocky ground. Over his dead friends. He found Sasuke's body.
He grabbed his tanto. He gripped the hilt, knowing that the end would come soon. He knew that this was the cowards way out, but fuck it.
Who cares if you're a coward if there's nobody left to call you one?
He raised the tanto to his chest. He made his final wish before death. 'I wish that I could have gone back and changed things. Killed Madara before this had to start.'
And then he plunged the tanto into his heart. He had visions of his friends, his family, his freedom. And then it all went white.

Sorry for the short prologue. The next chapter is much longer. I'm trying to get as much world building in as possible, but at the same time, not being redundant. I don't need to explain what the Village hidden in the Leaves is to readers, if you don't know you should be watching Naruto, not reading this. Also, any constructive criticism helps, so please review if you can!
