"No! please I'll do anything!" a voice pleaded.

"Too late!" Naruto said slicing off his head.

Naruto smiled and took the body away to get his money. Naruto was a bounty hunter. He ran away from the village 10 years ago. He hid and trained for years making up jutsu's and perfecting all of his skills. He now was a powerful swordsman and was perfected his Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and Genjutsu. Naruto knew he was probably the most powerful ninja. Naruto grew about two feet in those years. His hair grew a little longer and his eyes turned a darker blue. The whiskers from the kyuubi were still the same. Naruto threw away his old orange jumpsuit and now wore black pants and a black shirt. His konoha forehead protector was tied around his head but the cloth was black and the metal was worn down so you could barely see the konoha symbol, unless you looked extremely hard.

Naruto had to make him known so he became the best bounty hunter, earning himself the name Black Shadow, because he killed with ease and had a criminal dead every day. He was rich, catching the bad guy's and getting huge rewards. But he had no place to live. He traveled here and there. He returned the dead body and got his money. Naruto was walking through a forest and sat up against a tree. His sword leaning on his shoulder. He looked up into the starry sky and closed his eyes.

Running.

Naruto was sprinting through the forest.

"Where are you going? Why are you running?" a sinister voice sneered from behind him. Naruto tripped and fell. He rolled over to see the demon fox, kyuubi, walking towards him. Kyuubi stopped. Naruto was panting, out of breath and of fear.

"Heh, heh, heh. Weak. That's all you are, weak." He said as he placed a huge, heavy, clawed paw on Naruto and Kyubbi licked him. It was a lick that made Naruto scream in pain, in agony. His whole body felt like it was being ripped apart. He tried to get away but Kyubbi had too much of a tight grip on him. It was pain beyond anything.

Screaming.

Naruto opened his eyes out of breath. He looked around a relaxed a bit. He was still in the forest. He was covered in cold sweat. Another dream. These have happened before but this one was the worst. The worst in pain. He had tears rolling down from his eyes, tears of blood. Naruto went to wipe of his face, but as he lifted his hand a searing pain shot through his body. Naruto lied there for a minute then stood up. He fell down immediately.

"Why? Damn you, fox." Naruto muttered. The pain seemed to evaporate as he stood up after a couple on minutes.

He looked around. He thought of he stupid reason that he left the village for.

xXFlashbackXx

13 year old Naruto was waiting for his sensei to arrive, along with all of his other fellow teammates.

Naruto hopped up in a tree. He was sad and started to sing

Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you

Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
And no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like
To be like me...

To be hurt, to feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
No one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy
But I'm not gonna be ok
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work
It was always there
You don't know what it's like

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over?

Naruto would have kept singing before Sasuke said "Dobe?" Naruto jumped and fell out of the tree. He put on his big fake grin.

"H-h-hi Sasuke-teme, Sakura-chan!" Naruto stood up. "W-when did you get here?"

"Uh right when you started singing." Sasuke said. Naruto frowned.

"Forget everything you heard!" Naruto growled. He didn't know why he was so mad. He turned around and started to walk away. He didn't know that he was crying… blood tears. Naruto knew. He knew his mask was breaking.

"Where are you going, Naruto?" Sakura asked.

He stopped walking.

"Goodbye." Naruto said before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

xX End FlashbackXx

Naruto looked around. This forest looked awfully familiar. He hooked his sword on his belt and walked through the forest. He heard shouting. He ran ton the trees toward the shouting, quietly and came into a clearing. Naruto's eyes widened. Uh oh! He thought. Naruto was staring at Sakura, and Sasuke shouting at each other.

"Shut up Sakura! Your so annoying!" Naruto smirked, apparently Sasuke hasn't changed.

"Hey! I'm just saying that Hokage-sama wants to see you!" Sakura screeched. She seemed to have grown more beautiful. But Naruto never loved anybody. Never. His heart was totally oblivious to the word love.

"Stop." Sasuke said.

Naruto was quiet and Sasuke took out a kunai and threw it towards Naruto. Shit. I guess they discovered me. Naruto caught the kunai with ease. The two looked up at Naruto, nut he was gone. Naruto threw down the kunai and disappeared long before they looked at him. I almost let them find me.

A/N: Well the first chapter is done. Please review! Flames are accepted along with comments! You can also give me some ideas for the next chapter!

Oh..P.S. The song Naruto was singing is Welcome to my life, by Simple Plan. The song is in a different order that normally sung.
