Alternate Dimensions
Sometimes he wonders if there are other worlds.
Other worlds where maybe, his parents are still alive. Worlds where Kyuubi never attacked the village. Worlds where he's the cool guy everyone adores and Sasuke is the idiot no one cares about.
Worlds where he doesn't have to pretend to smile so that no one can see his pain.
Sometimes he wishes he could go to those worlds. Because sometimes he just can't stand his own.
But then maybe, he thinks, there are worse worlds too. Worlds where the Kyuubi still roams. Worlds where he doesn't have any precious people at all. Worlds where he is the monster everyone else seems to think he is.
And then, Naruto just wishes he didn't think so much and just tries to enjoy his ramen and Hinata's smile.
