Postsecrets: The Naruto Chronicles
I do not own Naruto. I am not making any money off of this. Don't sue.
After Breakfast
Sasuke was saddened that Naruto did not remember him. Was he really that forgettable? Could he ever be remembered? Or was Naruto just confused?
He was immediately pulled from these thoughts just as a very familiar female voice was heard.
"Sasuke, we need to get you unpacked!" Sakura was happy, getting to handle some of Sasuke's possessions. Score for Sakura, 1. Score for Pig, 0. I rule!
"Huh? Oh, right." Sasuke was clearly out of it.
Going out to the U-haul Kakashi had gotten, they all started pulling out random boxes, reading everything from silverware to "Kakashi's books". Of course, the books would probably be better labeled "pornography", but no one said anything. The fact that Kakashi had not molested Iruka yet was enough proof that he obviously cared about this man very much. Sakura decided her pervert teacher deserved a boyfriend. Even if she didn't know if said boyfriend was gay or not. Sasuke just liked the man because he cooked. And he didn't burn water. That was definitely a plus.
By the time all the boxes were loaded out, Iruka had finished making more food. Sasuke was appalled. He was used to the 2 meals a day, one bought at a cafeteria, the other made by either Sakura's mother or some worker at a fast food restaurant. He mildly wondered if Iruka liked his men chubby… In which case, Kakashi was screwed. As lazy as Kakashi was, he was not vain enough to gain that much weight. Not deciding to delve into the matter any further, he bit down into the sandwich. This man…he cooks too well to not be gay. No, he has to be.
After the meal was finished, everyone went back to their respective tasks. Sasuke to silverware, Sakura to things in Sasuke's room (Sasuke had no choice; he promised to do heavy lifting with Kakashi), Kakashi to any furniture and his books (his collection spanned at least 5 bookshelves; quite a selection for porn), Naruto to clothing, and Iruka to whatever remained. After all, the man was cooking wonderfully. No one was complaining.
With Sakura
Sakura was busying herself with carrying the things that were on Sasuke's bookshelf at his old home. She was walking up the stairs, then down a longer hallway, when she dropped a book. Deciding it would be a sin to leave one of Sasuke's belonging on the floor, she leaned over to pick it up. However, the title was quite the title.
"My innermost thoughts?" Sakura read the title to herself. She was most certainly concerned with the title. It sounded as though Sasuke was suicidal. She looked both ways, before dropping all the books to the floor, running into Sasuke's room. She shut and locked the door.
"Let's see what makes Sasuke tick…" She saw the "do not read" warning on the first page, written in crude writing, which she did not recognize as Sasuke's own. Frowning, she turned the page to see more of the crude writing.

Today Mommy and Daddy took me to a new place with big brother! It was so much fun! Brother let me play with him for a long time, and he even allowed me to eat lunch with him! I hope for more days like this!
Sincerely,
Sasuke Uchiha
Sakura could not believe what she was reading. She realized Sasuke was adopted, but she thought he was adopted at a young age, like most children. Yet, at this time, Sasuke must have been at least six years old. Did he have a foster family? Sakura paid no mind to the old saying "Curiosity killed the cat." She decided, in her favor, "Satisfaction brought it back" was to be used as she read onwards.

Today Naruto and I played on the playground it was so much fun! I really did have a good time, because brother picked me up on time and everything. I got rice-balls for dinner, because Mommy wanted to make them. They were yummy
Sincerely,
Sasuke Uchiha
Naruto…? Could it be the same one as here? Sakura had questions like this running through her head, she decided to skip a little. Maybe by reading further along she could learn something.

Today was the same as usual. I spied on Naruto in his seat. I'm not sure how I feel about him, but I think it may be something more than friendship…Still, Naruto kissed me on the cheek… I just wish he could understand what it means… Does he like me like that? I'm too nervous to make the first move. What if he rejects me, and we're never friends again? This is too much. At least brother is willing to play basketball with me! He says I'm getting better, everyday!
Sincerely,
Sasuke Uchiha
Sakura's jaw literally dropped at this. At this time in reading, she was pretty sure it was the same Naruto, but now Sasuke loved him? What the hell? I'm supposed to be Sasuke's girlfriend! Deciding to read on, and see who exactly this "brother" person was, she flipped the pages a little, before finding one that had a few wet spots on it.
This seems… Interesting? Was it raining when he wrote this? Sakura checked the lock on the door once more, before deciding to read some of the text on the page.
August 21, 1997
I hate my brother. How could he? How could he do that? How?
The doctors all told me to keep up with the journal. They said it would help with the grief. Do they have any idea? Any idea of how it feels to have everyone you care about slaughtered in a mere moment? How it feels to be forced to watch this happen? How it feels to know someone you trusted so much do this? To have someone who made you so happy, someone who spent time with you even if they acted annoyed, someone who said they loved you trample your heart?
The doctors also said that the police were hard at work getting my brother into the court. They won't find anything. I know he flew the country after killing them… I know he's too smart to stay in the country before the news was spread. I know that.
The doctors don't want anyone to see me… What they don't understand is that I need the one last person I care about here. Naruto… will we ever meet again?
They said I'd meet my new dad today. I hardly feel anyone could replace my own father. They don't understand. I don't want a new father! I don't! But, I'm not given any choice… Just tossed around like a rag doll, I suppose. Much like the dolls all the girls play with. I wonder if my mother ever played with dolls?
I will never forgive my brother. I will avenge my family. One day, I will find him. I will force him to death. And when he dies, I'll make sure everyone sees. I'll make sure everyone knows that I'm not a crying child anymore. I'll prove it. I am an avenger for my mother and father.
Sincerely,
Sasuke Uchiha
Sakura looked up, feeling something wet sliding down her own cheek. His family was murdered? He was living with Kakashi by force? Did he regret not running away? Did he regret not being stronger? If so… did he regret meeting her?
Still crying, she put the book on the new desk Sasuke was going to share with Naruto. She thought about writing a note to him, but decided against it. If he wanted me to know… He would have told me.
She was starting to question her feelings for Sasuke, when she heard a loud crash come from the kitchen. Standing up immediately, she ran towards the door, thrusting it open and running down the stairs. Did Sasuke hurt himself?
Running into the kitchen, she saw nothing. And then she heard a loud crash from the living room. She once again ran towards the crash. I'll be damned if anything happens to Sasuke!
In the kitchen
The front door banged open. Sasuke dropped what he was doing immediately. Are robbers common here?
"Naruto!" A loud voice resonated. Sasuke didn't want anyone near his Naruto, so he followed the voice.
"Lee!" Naruto's heavenly voice was heard. "Help me with these goddamn clothes! I swear to God, they have more clothes than anyone I know!"
"Of course!"
At this, Sasuke ran into the room, poised to attack. He stopped after seeing a bowl-cut and fuzzy eyebrows. Oh, God. No. Please, no! Unfortunately, he was not to be unnoticed. If he was to want anything at this moment, he would choose the amazing power of disappearance. Sadly, no super-powers were granted.
"Sasuke!" Lee noticed him, and bounded towards Sasuke.
Sasuke, being the genius he was, threw down a lamp and ran out of the room. It was just this moment Sakura decided to appear.
"What was that crash?" Sakura had some concern in her eyes. Then she saw a lamp. Immediately followed the worst eyebrows she had ever laid eyes on.
Lee blushed, seeing the girl in front of him. She was simply beautiful, her green eyes reminding him of the color he and his father's house was, along with the time of spring and seaweed, along other various things. "Would you go out with me?"
Sakura visibly paled, suddenly wishing for the exact same thing Sasuke had been wishing for only so short a time ago. Please let me disappear…Or better yet, smite me!
With Sasuke, who had run out of the room
"Kakashi! This place is not safe!" Sasuke ran into his guardian's room, in a panic.
"What do you mean? This area has a low crime-rate."
"Code green."
Kakashi visibly paled as well. And then came the cry from the door.
"Iruka! How are you? Still in your ultimate youth?" A visible ping was heard.
Exchanging glances, Kakashi and Sasuke agreed to lock the door. Sasuke from terror, and Kakashi from some unknown emotion. From the green tint of his skin, one could guess nausea.
Once again with Sakura
"No! I'm not going to be your girlfriend!" Sakura was not used to letting men down easy. Of course, Lee was a hard worker. He wouldn't give up that easily.
So he started to blow kisses at her.
"Nooo!" She dodged every single one of his kisses. Deciding to use the same tactic as Sasuke, she threw a table down, and ran out of the room, Lee following her. Leaving Naruto alone with a broken lamp and over-turned table.
All of a sudden, a very angry biology teacher appeared. "Naruto… What happened to our living room?" He was attempting to remain calm. He was losing control. Only two more years, one month, sixteen days, seven hours, five minutes, and thirty-six seconds until he's at college. This somehow calmed him down.
"You see, Lee ran in here, and then…"
"Hello, Naruto!" Gai ran into the room.
"Hi, Gai."
"Naruto! Why is the living room destroyed?" Iruka still wasn't happy with his home.
"Like I said, Lee ran in here, and then…"
"Are you saying Lee would do such a thing as destroy a home?"
"No, not at all Gai! I mean, it was partially his fault, but-" Naruto was once again interrupted.
"What do you mean, Naruto?"
"He ran in here, and-"
"We know that, Naruto. Continue." Gai did not understand the basic concept of not interrupting.
Evidently, this was going to take a lot of time and patience.
End Chapter
So, how'd you like it? I introduced Lee and Gai's personas in! And Sasuke's past! And it's a long chapter! I spent nearly 2 hours thinking it through, so what do you guys think?
Well, time to respond to what you guys thought last chapter:
