Gone chapter 3 - the meeting part 1

Sasuke POV

I had told Konohamaru to go see Naruto but I didn't want to go home ....yet. I looked around to make sure no one was following me, because you never know when girls are going to pop up and never stop talking. Thankfully , no one was following me. I guess they are all outside Naruto's room. I went to my little spot in the forest. Okay it's not that little and it's not owned by me but it's where I go when I want to think, which is basically always. I sat down against my tree when suddenly I heard a "hello Sasuke."

I literally jumped at least 3 feet. "Who are you?" I asked. "Don't you recognize your old team-mates," she said. "Sakura, I thought you died." Now she looked down and blushed. "Well, I did but I asked to be your guardian angel Sasuke." "How can I see you if you're dead." "Well, every angel has one chance to go down to see the person they're looking after when they're in a time of need." "Does it really look like I'm in a time of need." I started getting pissed. " why don't you go tell Naruto's to go see him then," cause he's in more of a time of need then I am." "You looked like you needed someone to talk to Sasuke, wasn't I right?" Well, now that I though about it I wasn't as angry after yelling at her.

"Sasuke did you like me when I was alive?" "Sakura you were my friend, if I had to chose someone to go out with, I would have chosen you but there's something I have to do before I die and I can't let anyone get in the way of that." "Oh, ok Sasuke, but remember this, when you die we can always get married in heaven." "Sakura, I really don't want to think about marriage right now." "One more thing Sasuke, You better hope no one else is here because they won't be able to see or hear me, so they'll probably think you are crazy."

"That doesn't matter to me. I would rather them think I am crazy so that they leave me alone." "Bye Sasuke-kun." "Bye Sakura."

That was interesting I just had a conversation with my old team mate and my guardian angel. That's very interesting.

Back with Naruto

Hinata POV

When Konohamaru came out you could tell that he was shaken. He told us that we could go in to see Naruto but not to expect much. We all looked towards our Hokage. She hesitated before nodding. I was the first one in the room. When I saw Naruto I stopped at the door.

It was like he had turned into Sasuke or something of the sort. He blue eyes that used to be filled with happiness and joy were now empty and cold. He used to be happy, now he was empty, emotionless, unfeeling. When I said hello, he acted like he didn't even hear me. As far as I know he maybe didn't even hear me. He was zoned out. Iruka-sensei was the next one in. I could tell that he was also shocked at Naruto's appearance. "Naruto", he tried, "when you're better I will treat you to as much ramen as you want, does that sound good?" " I HATE ramen, I only used to like it cause it was cheep and had some flavour." Everyone who heard that was shocked. Naruto NOT like ramen. It was Kakashi turn now. Naruto are you.. are you ever going to get better?" He seemed hesitate to ask but everyone needed to know the answer.

" I am better. Why do I need to be under a mask and pretend to be what everyone wan6s me to be when the darkness accepts me for being me and not for what I pretend. It's not like the villagers or any of you liked me with ,y mask. Now I see the truth. I can be who I am and everyone will hate me, or I can put a mask on and still let everyone hate me. Why, tell me why I should change. It's not like any of you care whether I am happy or sad. You just liked to think that I was happy so that you wouldn't have to worry."

Everyone stayed silent. Is this what he thought of us, I thought. Now that I thought about it, it does make sense that he thinks this. No one every talked to him. People just made fun of him and gave him dirty looks and glares. That wasn't our fault though was it. Our parents told us to ignore him and never talk to him. I know that I'm not very courageous but I couldn't take the silence any more. "Na. Naruto -kun, if w. we thou. thought that then w. we wou. wouldn't be here Nar. Naruto-kun."

He just glared at me. Everyone was looking at me weirdly. They were probably thinking , 'Is that really Hinata? The Hinata I know wouldn't say something like that she would be as quiet as a mouse?'.

Naruto POV

Just before Konohamaru left I told him they could come in. Hinata came in first. Once she saw me, I knew she probably wouldn't have wanted to leave, but couldn't because of the people behind her. I heard her say hello but if she really wanted to be here then why was she afraid to look at me.

Iruka-sensei started to bribe me with ramen, when I finally decided to tell the them truth. " I HATE ramen, I only used to like it cause it was cheep and had some flavour." Everyone looked shocked. They probably thought I was in love with ramen, and they think they know me. Kakashi-sensei asked me if I was every going to get better. Time to freak them out. Time to let them hear the truth.

Yep I freaked them all out. Too bad they can't handle it. I just glared at them a couple minutes each. . "Na. Naruto -kun, if w. we thou. thought that then w. we wou. wouldn't be here Nar. Naruto-kun, " Hinata said. I just glared at her even more though in my head I was thinking 'Is that really Hinata?".

After about 15 minutes of glaring at her I answered " Am I really supposed to believe that, All of the adults here probably wouldn't be here if they weren't obliged to be here." Tsunade finally spoke up. " Naruto listen, you were outside my office door but you didn't here the whole story, I think it's time that you here it all."

Flashback

Sakura's parents had come in and asked for a meeting with all those who knew or where close to Naruto. I had then asked all the adults that knew Naruto to come in and I also asked Sasuke because he knew how to hold his tongue and was on your team. I was going to ask the other but decided that they may know when to speak and when not to speak and left it as Sasuke being the youngest.

I knew that someday this meeting was going to happen. Almost all of the villagers hated you not because of who you are but because of what is inside of you. They never tried to look past that. They just saw you as the nine tails. The demon that is sealed inside of you. Sakura's parents weren't any different.
