I Died Alone –

This day was just like any other day in early spring, it was warm, the late morning sun was shining ever so finely to the people living under it. Most importantly, all the people in Konoha village were enjoying this day, which they would be enjoying it if it wasn't for the fact that the night before someone planted a fire bomb in one of the food houses that is. In one of the big houses of the village, Hinata Hyuga, a young girl with short black hair with white eyes, the unique thing about them was they had no pupils. Who is currently she was sitting by her window sill watching the villagers do their daily routines whether it was work or morning exercises. The girl was told that most of the villagers weren't worthy of her noble Hyuga clan who held the strongest ninja bloodline in Konoha. Despite her powerful bloodline, she never felt she was any better than the regular people, she believed that if anyone had the decision of choosing their paths, they would want to have a life like hers, one with a powerful advanced bloodline ability and the social stability.

Another reason why she never looked down on people was the fact that she wasn't that strong as a ninja herself. Hinata is a terminally shy and soft-spoken, yet tough and resolute Chūnin-level Taijutsu user originally from Kurenai Yūhi's Team 8. As a member of the Hyūga clan, she possesses the kekkei genkai Byakugan, and specializes in the Jūken, or 'Gentle Fist', fighting style. This means that her field of vision is almost 360° and she is able to damage her opponent's chakra circulatory system and inner organs directly with even a slight tap. Since she is the main house's elder child, Hinata is supposed to be the heir to the clan; however, because her father had deemed her a lost cause in her early teens - apparently of even lesser skill than her younger sister, Hanabi, and not even comparable to her cousin Neji - he disowned her and left her in the care of Kurenai Yūhi, when she became Hinata's sensei, stating he didn't care if Hinata died on a mission.

Struggling against her low self-confidence and slowly gaining ground, Hinata often has to remind herself to try her best instead of just giving up, like she used to. She has a crush on Naruto of which he is completely unaware, and has admired him for his positive and inspiring attitude years before they graduated the academy when he was still regarded by almost everyone else as a good-for-nothing reincarnation of a monster fox. Hinata's strong romantic affections for Naruto seem to be a rather glaring exception, as no other introduced girl of around Naruto's age has displayed anything of the sort for him (in stark contrast to Sasuke Uchiha, who at times seems to be the collective crush of the entire female teenage population of Konoha).

Hinata went over to her mirror, which she did everyday, and looked at her white eyes. She hated them, she thought, they looked so much different from the other peoples' eyes. Her father kept telling her that her eyes and the entire Hyuga clan's eyes are unique but the heiress never believed any of those words. It wasn't uniqueness, it was something that made people fear even more.

Stepping out Hinata walk through the streets as people were still talking about what happen last night. The whole village was still in an uproar with the sneak attack last night that burn down one of the food-houses. A homemade firebomb caused the fire and the ANBU were still searching who cause the fire. As Hinata walk down to the training area Sakura came up running to her.

"Hinata have you seen Naruto?" Sakura said as she stops in front of the shy girl.

"Why what happen?" Hinata ask hoping nothing has happen to him.

"He's missing, Tsunade is sending everyone available to look for him," Sakura said, "I'm heading out with the others to look for him."

"I'm coming with you," Hinata shouted as she ran after Sakura as she ran for the main gate. At the front gate seemed that all of the chunnin of Konoha where there, including Ino, Choji, Shikamaru, Neji, Tenten, Lee, Kiba, and Shino. Standing in front of them are Kakashi, Jiraiya, and Iruka-sensei.

"Alright listen up once we leave the village spread out and look for any sighs of Naruto," Jiraiya barked out, "When you spot him launch a flare and wait for the rest of us to get to where you are."

"Yes sir," they all shouted as they race across the landscape looking for the missing ninja.

Hokage Office –

Tsunade was resting with her head on her desk surrounded by mountains of paperwork. She's been up all night as the firebomb setting one of the food houses got her out of bed. They had to quickly put out the fire before it set the other food houses on fire before they could search for who started the fire. Suddenly there came a frantic knock on the door. She barely had time to wake up as the door burst open and a babbling chuunin burst in quickly followed by Shizune.

"Tsunade, Naruto is missing and we believe that he's the one that set the fire," the chuunin babbled out to her.

"He's missing from his home and Jiraiya already sent out search parties out to look for him," Shizune said as she set a necklace in front of the 5th Hokage, "He let this behind with a note simply saying goodbye."

"Naruto…" Tsunade said softly picking up her necklace she gave to Naruto who said he'll give it back to her when he becomes the Hokage someday, "Send out the ANBU and have them bring him back alive mind you."

"Yes Hokage," they both said as they quickly left the room.

Looking at her necklace laying on her open palm, Tsunade could feel a surge of emotions rising up from deep within her, "Naruto you idiot why did you leave?"

In the forest surrounding the village –

Hinata ran through the forest searching for Naruto. She couldn't believe that Naruto would try to set fire to the village just so he could leave without being notice. Thinking about it how the other villagers treated him she couldn't blame him for leaving. She couldn't think of anyone in the village that has ever treated him nice as he was growing up. He was always alone.

The suns rays reflected off of something metal in the corner of her eye as she ran by. She stops running back to the object. When she saw what it was her eyes widen as she saw that it's a Leaf headband laying in a dried pool of blood, torn pieces of a familiar orange colored jumpsuit surround the area. Her mind slowly pieced the bits of information together as she realized what must have happen to Naruto. Her tears fell to the ground as she shook her head at what was in front of her.

"Sad isn't it," a voice said coming from behind her.

Turning she saw a tall man standing with his arms at his sides in a lazy manner. He's wearing a light brown coat and tan colored pants. His face couldn't be seen thanks to a skintight metal mask that covered his whole head. The mask was featureless with but hints of an outline of a face, as if someone made a mold of a head and left out everything that made a human face. And there was something about him that made her body tremble, as if he was merely looking at a bug in a bug collection.

"He so long for friendship that wasn't forced or that the person saw someone else when looking at him," the man said with a tone that held no emotion.

"Did you kill him?" Hinata ask her anger giving her strength.

"Yes I did," the man said as if they were just talking about the weather, "He said that he has live alone all of his life, and that he wouldn't mind at all if he dies alone. Since no one cares for him, with the expectation of you in that village he used to call home."

"You monster!" Hinata shouted as she pulls out three shurikens throwing them at him. Her anger quickly turn to shock as he suddenly disappears, the three shurikens going through the afterimage that he left and suddenly appearing in front of her. He grabs her by her faces and throws her against a tree she slides down with her back against it. She looks up her eyes filled with tears looking at the man that kill Naruto.

"Don't look at me like that. I gave him something that he always wanted that he couldn't find in the village that hated him for what he is. Acceptance," the man said turning to leave the crying girl, "You never knew why the adults hated him did you?"

Hinata lifted her head as she stares at the back of the man as he walks away. Her eyes widen as he told her the reason why and who had given him this path of life. With everything that happen she couldn't take it anymore as it became too much to bare and started screaming as she scream out it was impossible and how they could treat him as trash when he had to live without knowing why.

The search team that was with her quickly found Hinata crying, screaming out about something about Naruto. They found his headband and a pool of blood with pieces of his outfit laying around.

Iruka-sensei grabs a hold of Hinata shoulders shaking her to her senses, "Hinata what happen?"

Hinata look straight up grabbing Iruka's arms shouting into his face, "Tell me! Please tell me it isn't true! Tell me that the reason why everyone in the village hates Naruto isn't that he has the fox demon sealed inside of him!"

Everyone especially the ones that didn't know eyes widen in shock when Hinata shouted out. All of Naruto's classmates couldn't believe what they had heard. They all thought that the demon was killed by the Fourth Hokage, but instead it was sealed inside of Naruto.

"Who told you?" Jiraiya ask seeing that she knows the truth that's been hidden for all of these years.

"No," Hinata choked out, "Than what he said was true. No wonder he said that Naruto didn't minded to die alone." She started sobbing harder, "Since he never had anyone that care for him."

"Who?" Jiraiya ask again.

"The one that kill him," Hinata sob out as she broke down in tears.

"The reason why all the adults call him demon was because of that," Sakura said as she felt her eyes watering as she remembers how she has treated him. With what Hinata said what Naruto said before he died she saw why he said he had no one.

"Who would have done that to him?" Lee asked as he shook with fury at the adults for treating Naruto like trash.

"It was his father who did it," Hinata choke out between sobs.

Jiraiya look around as he saw the stun looks on Naruto's fellow classmates. Each one of them dealing with the shocking truth in their own way, he could see them thinking of what Naruto had to dealt with growing up with everyone hating him for something that he couldn't help being. He noticed that Kakashi was looking at something, looking where he was looking at, Jiraiya saw something written on one of the trees.

'If you meet god, kill god. If you meet your father, kill your father. Free from everything you are bound by nothing. Live the life that's been given to you,' was what was craved on the tree.

"It's in Naruto's hand writing," Iruka as he wipe the tears away from his eyes.

Far off –

"Did you see what you needed to see?" Faceless ask as he walks to the side of his new heir.

"Yes,"the young man said, "Now I know who cared for me."

"You know it's not too late to go back."

"No, this chapter of my old life ends as a human."

"Well than lets go. When my boss, sister heard of what I was doing she gave me a place to start your training. Even sending some of her servants set things up for us and help with your training."

"But you do know I might still decide to go and destroy the village after I learn all I can from you."

"As I said before I don't care about what you do with the skills I will teach you. Neither does my boss or his sister as if they were in your shoes they would do the same. That nonsense of showing them that your better than they are, is only for people who watch from the sidelines. I will say that I admire people who fight but don't kill as it takes someone whose willing to let someone evil live even after they have killed hundreds of people. But only because they fear that once they start killing they would soon become the very thing they're fighting against. Some people just won't take that step." (1)

"Well than," the young man smiles, "Let's see what I will become after you train me."

"Let's do," a gateway opens in front of them than quickly disappears leaving no trace of the two.

Author's Notes

1 – That's the only thing I could come up with like why Batman let Joker live even after killing so many people.
