Falling through the crowd,
No one to help me out,
Everyone let me down,
And im falling to the pits.

Laughter as I fall,
It surrounds my limp body,
It punctures and pulls at my skin,
As I fall faster.

All I wanted was a friend,
But they all left,
Fading in the pain,
I needed them; they let me down.

And I fall because of them,
Faster and Faster,
I tumbled down into fire,
Why did you do this to me?


Naruto thought back to the poem, the one that showed his life's emotion, pain. It spoke of longing for friends, and how those arround him laughed and pushed him away.

BUt he looked at his teammates and smiled. These were his friends, they cared for him... even if it didn't show much.

They were on their way to the Sand Country, that was where they would re-join the acdamey and hopefully pass, and get money for completing missions so they could buy some real food. Like Ramen!

Luckily the Sound taught anyone who could beat one of their own. No matter their age, height, or motives.

Buy walking through an endless dessert wasn't very fun. Infact it was the exact oppisite of fun, it was torture. With no one talking and the stupid sun glaring down on them, Naruto was bored and pissed that he was getting a sun burn.

He had been forced to leave his favorite orange jumpsuit behind, which also pissed him off. This stupid no-sleeve tight dark blue shirt was annoying the hell outta him, so were these stupid black pants.

" Oof! " Naruto said while falling backwards onto the sand. " What the hell. " He looked up at the person he bumped into, Sakura. She glared at him and pointed staright ahead. " Were here. "

Naruto got up and stared at the village before him.


A/N- Sry that took so long to get up! And that its so short. I'll start wrighting longer chapter's when I get to some fighting. But I have a warning for you people - I dont have any access to anything Naruto outside what I read on this site and the Manga I buy at the bookstore. And since were only up to Volume 5 nothing is probably gonna go with anything you know that I dont. But I would like some info I can use for the Sand Ninja's and if anyone has a character I could use it would be helpfull. But Im not gonna tell you how I will use the caracter. Just give me some general info about them. Thank you all!
