It was coming closer, he could almost feel it piercing his chest...but why, why him if only it was someone else he could handle it but not him...
Waking with a start, Naruto looked around trying to understand where he was, but then it all came back to him... that laughter was still ringing in his ears. But what did he care, he was getting what he wanted. Laying back down on the gravel Naruto stared up into the blue sky. 'How great it would be to soar away from all of this. To live free amongst the birds and live a care free life.' Getting up the blond brushed off the dirt from his orange jumper. "Kuso, how did I get so dirty? I guess I better go and change..."
******
"Listen, all I'm saying is that you have to give the boy some time. He just lost someone who was important to him and he needs his space"
"Yes but, Jiraiya, I'm worried about him..." Tsunade couldn't help but pace, just as she couldn't help being worried about the blond. 'Damn Jiraiya, and being so calm I HATE HIM!'
"Either way, I have to leave for a couple of weeks, I need to find out what the Atkatsuki is up to. I'm worried that there planning something big..." Jiraiya turned to the window before Tsunade's pacing could get to him.
"Sigh, alright but please be back soon, I just can't shake off this horrible feeling in my gut." she said, absent mindedly grabbing her stomach as she stopped pacing, "I feel as if something bad is going to happen...but maybe it's just me being stupid." yet somehow she knew that, it wasn't.
"Haha like you would need my help. but I guess I could hurry" Winking Jiraiya left the room, leaving Tsunade to stand there all alone, her hand still clutching her stomach.

'Why the hell are all my cloths dirty?' Throwing yet another orange jumper in the already large laundry basket Naruto looked up to his closet, where it held all his old cloths. 'Sigh' "Why me" Getting up he stretched out his arm and grabbed the box holding the cloths he was going to give away.
"Well at least I'm clean..." Staring at his reflection in the mirror, he saw an average boy wearing a black t-shirt and a pair of jean shorts. But his face was a mix of pain and sadness... this would not do. Staring at the mirror the blond went about fixing the walls that held back all of his emotions. When he looked back he saw what he desired, a normal face to match with the rest of his body. His trance was momentarily broken by a knock at the door.
"Hello..." There standing before him was Jiraiya
"Hello, thought I might come and say hi before I left, and take you out for lunch." Jiraiya said, smiling as he grabbed the blond by the arm and started dragging him out of the house.
"Could you at least wait for me to get my sandals on? And since were going out I want to drop off my laundry at the cleaners." Naruto stated, as he wrestled his arm away from the senin and then ran back in the house to grab his laundry. 'I have to make it seem as if everything is normal even though it hurts...'
"When you said you wanted to take me out for lunch I thought it meant you were going to pay you cheap bastard." Naruto glared at the smiling senin as he watched the shop owner get him his change.
"Ah but you came to that conclusion not me... Oh, I have a present for you." Grabbing a tightly wrapped piece of cloth from his bag, Jiraiya handed it to the still glaring boy.
"What is it....?" Naruto asked, holding up the small sword which had been wrapped withing the cloth as he watched it gleam in the sunlight.
"That is your new best friend... It's to help you defend yourself while I'm gone... and, as much as I'd love to stay around and visit I have to go." Grabbing his bag, Jiraiya patted the blond on the head and walked away.
Naruto sat there, just staring at the blade and watching it glint in the sunlight for hours. It wasn't till just as the sun was going down that he noticed a small inscription running along the flat of the blade. "Huh? Stupid advice from a stupid old man..." he muttered to himself as he read it. Looking up at the sky Naruto realised how late it really was "Shit, I'm not going to get anywhere today, stupid old man." Running as fast as he could Naruto headed toward the library.
