Loss And Despair Part 2 Dead Inside

A/N: This chapter will contain more angst and will remain that way for a few chapters. Naruto will meet his old friends but doesn't care about friendship anymore he's still a cold hearted emotionless deadly monster. To many people, he is dead inside as the title shows so enjoy. Anko is a bit OC in this story but oh well so are the others I tried to act normal with Rock Lee though without the shouting of course.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto just this story

Naruto doesn't sleep much anymore he's more of an insomniac, he wakes up a few hours later it's 3 am and it's still dark outside. He isn't used to being around people, for two years he's been alone not letting anyone get close most people are scared of him.

Nobody until yesterday has seen his face in two years and he preferred it that way.

He looks at Anko still asleep he admits she's an attractive woman but he's never been good around women, of course, he remembers tails of Anko exploits from Jiraiya he sighs thinking of his Sensei now dead for over two years.

He sees Anko's got her arms around him he slowly pulls her arms away and climbs out of the bed and makes his way to the window.

He looks outside and it's still pitch black outside, but he doesn't care most times he just sits there for hours doing nothing or sometimes he meditates.

He's been looking outside for 10 minutes when he feels someone tug on his arm he looks around to see Anko looking at him.

She sighs "What are you doing up you look exhausted to come back to bed."

Naruto just stares at her until she takes his hand and drags him back to the bed this time she pushes him onto the bed and then climbs in after him and then wraps her arm around him again.

He sighs and just lies there looking up at the ceiling until Anko calls to him "Sleep Naruto." He sighs and closes his eyes and she rests her head on his chest and he finally drops off to sleep.

He actually sleeps half of the next day but Anko doesn't mind it looked like he needed it. When he does wake up he looks better he climbs out of the bed and leaves the bedroom and finds Anko in the kitchen she smiles "You're finally up."

He nods "How long was I asleep."

She smirks "Half the day but you needed it don't you sleep at all."

He sits down "A few hours here and there."

She nods "I see well come on let's get some food I remember you liked Ichiraku's Ramen you still eat that right."

He nods "On occasion."

She grins "Wow I heard you used to eat that every day for breakfast, dinner, and tea you really have changed."

He sighs "The Naruto I once was is no more."

She sighs Just how messed up are you "Come on go get dressed first we don't want women checking you out now you don't want fangirls I bet" She grins evilly I probably shouldn't mention he has some already as well as merchandise and action figures.

Naruto sighs I bloody well hope I don't have fangirls He heads back into the bedroom and gets dressed and they head into the village. Many people see him and a lot of people are scared of him.

Some women can see his well-toned body and marvel at it some people might be scared because of the stupid rumors that he rips out the souls of his victims and that an even more pathetic rumor that he eats children.

He's still not wearing his mask he should really put it back on this is the longest he's had his mask off he's still tired though and It seems Anko's watching him but he keeps walking deep in thought.

Anko's been watching him since they left her apartment she then notices the scar going down his face it's a lot like Ibiki's she wonders how he got it when he's ready he might tell her she hopes she can get through to him somehow she doesn't know why apart from them being similar that is.

Naruto notices her looking at his face so he pulls out his mask and puts it on. She sighs I guess he's not comfortable why do I have a feeling he hardly takes it off. She smirks Adds to the fear factor though the rumors sure are amusing though.

They continue walking and many people are gossiping not that either care they haven't said a word to each other since they left her apartment. She sighs I wonder if this is the first time since he left that he's spent time with someone well I will break him out of his ways.

She's broken from her thoughts when a ball hits Naruto's foot and they hear gasps it seems the rumors are believed by many people.

The owner of the ball is a little girl she runs to the ball until she looks up and sees a man staring at her. Her mother grabs her but the girl starts to cry "I want my ball."

Naruto looks to his foot and sees the ball he sighs the rumors really are stupid especially the one about eating kids he actually likes kids he stayed at one village where the kids love him well the whole village did well he did kind of save them from bandits.

He reaches down and picks up the ball he looks at the mom who's terrified he rolls his eyes then steps up to the girl who looks up and he places the ball in her hands then ruffles her hair then turns around and walks away with Anko.

The whole village can breathe again and yet again Tenten happens to be there and she was ready to jump in she admits the guys scary but he also has an amazing body that is perfectly obvious she also doesn't believe the stupid rumors. She was happy and relieved when the guy gave the girl her ball then ruffled her hair, She sighs I wonder who you are, Anko-Sensei seems to know you somehow I wonder who you are.

Naruto and Anko keep walking they both heard the gasps from everyone and it annoys Naruto. Anko she smirks "I guess the rumors aren't true then."

He rolls his eyes "No, well not about eating kids or taking souls but the cold hearted emotionless one is, well, for the most part, I saved a village a few months back from bandits and the whole village treats me as a hero the kids surprisingly wouldn't leave me alone."

She grins "Wow, so your not totally emotionless."

Naruto sighs "Depends on the situation."

She nods and they keep walking after another minute they arrive at Ichiraku's the place is empty. Naruto smiles It seems like the place hasn't changed in two years. They sit down and Ayame comes out but when she sees Naruto she freezes.

Naruto sighs and debates on whether to tell her who he is but remembers they were always nice to him so he smiles "Ayame-Chan it's been a while."

Ayame looks at Naruto/The Black Phantom and yes she's scared but now she sees him close up his body is amazing but there's something familiar about his voice Could it be Naruto-Kun "Is that you Naruto-Kun."

Naruto nods and takes off his mask and Ayame smiles "I'm so glad you're alive we've missed our best customer."

Naruto nods "How have you been."

She smiles "Better now that your back what can I get you two."

Naruto smirks "Five bowls of Miso Ramen and two beef and two chicken"

She smiles "I see you still have your appetite what can I get you Anko-Chan."

Anko is still in shock He said he doesn't eat it much but I guess when he does he eats a lot well I will have to get him to eat more though. She's broken from her thoughts when she hears Ayame "Oh I will have a beef and Chicken Ramen."

Ayame nods "I'll bring them right out."

Meanwhile, across the village Tenten has met up with everyone they don't hang around nearly enough and surprisingly none of the Konoha 11 with Sai, Temari are on missions and only Naruto is missing and everyone misses him their and only Sasuke and Sakura knows he's back. Tenten sighs "Wow guys I almost freaked out a short while ago."

Ino looks confused "Why, did something happen."

Tenten nods "You've all heard of The Black Phantom."

When everyone nods she continues "Well he's here in Konoha and this little girl lost her ball and it hit his leg the place was so quiet you've heard the rumours, of course, well he just picked up the ball and gave it to the girl then ruffled her hair before walking away it was so quiet everyone was holding their breath maybe he's not so bad after all plus that crazy snake lady from the Chūnin exams Anko-Sensei was with him."

Sasuke and Sakura share a glance at each other both thinking the same thing At least he's not completely full of hate.

Shikamaru sees them looking at each other "Is there something you know."

Sasuke and Sakura look at each other then Sakura speaks "I know who he is."

Everyone's shocked Ino then speaks "So, who is he it is a guy right."

Sakura sighs "It's Naruto."

Everyone's shocked then Sasuke speaks "He's not the same person we all know he's changed he's full of hate, he's vengeful whatever he's been doing over the last two years has turned him cold hearted the Naruto we knew I'd say is no more what happened to his Sensei and Godfather broke him."

Tenten then speaks "Sensei but Kakashi is alive."

Sakura sighs "Jiraiya the Toad Sage was his Sensei and godfather the last of his family ended with Jiraiya's death."

Hinata sighs Naruto-Kun I'm sorry for your loss

Kiba is confused "What are you talking about who was his parents."

Sakura sighs "We are all Jōnin now so we can all know his father was Minato Namikaze the Fourth Hokage and his mother was Kushina Uzumaki."

Again everyone is shocked. Shikamaru sighs "Troublesome, I guess my assumptions were correct all along the whole way through the academy I had my suspicions of who his dad was I mean you saw him when he returned with Jiraiya he was a spitting image of him minus the whiskers."

Sakura sighs "That's not all I'm sure you know the villagers hate him."

When everyone nods she continues "He's hated because sealed inside him is the Nine-Tailed Fox his father sealed him inside Naruto, the fox can not be killed and the villagers see Naruto as the Kyuubi and not Naruto to them he's the demon reincarnated."

Everyone is gobsmacked. Ino then speaks "Why would his dad so such a thing to him."

Sakura sighs "He couldn't ask anyone else's child to do it besides Naruto was the only baby born that day."

Hinata sighs "Do you think he knows."

Sakura nods "He knows he's known since he left for the two and a half years with Jiraiya the first time."

Tenten sighs "I can't believe this it's so unreal."

Shikamaru sighs "Do you hate him for what's inside him to me he is Naruto Uzumaki the most unpredictable ninja in Konoha, not a demon."

Lee sighs "THIS IS SO SAD WE HAVE TO HELP RESTORE NARUTO'S YOUTH."

Sasuke sighs "I'm not sure if that's possible as I said before he's full of hate, he's vengeful, he's cold hearted, the Naruto we knew is no more And it's my fault

Lee stands up "I DON'T BELIEVE THAT I WILL NOT GIVE UP ON A FRIEND."

They all nod and stand up and start looking for Naruto. They look around the village until they find his Chakra he's at Ichiraku's with Anko Mitarashi it seems.

Meanwhile, back with Naruto and Anko and they've finally finished their food Teuchi was surprised to see Naruto but also happy that his best customer is back they chatted briefly then Naruto and Anko started to leave but as they start to leave they both feel multiple familiar chakra's.

Anko looks at Naruto who seems to have reverted back to his cold-heartedness and she sighs Sasuke's out there this should be fun.

Anko lifts up the flap and they both stare well Naruto glares at the Konoha 11 now 12 if you add Temari and Sai, Naruto used to be counted as one of the 11 to the mix. Naruto has his mask off so they see the scar on his face but it's his eyes that are unnerving there cold unemotional there all in shock.

Hinata sees the scar Naruto-Kun.

Anko is just watching them all, there all nervous she looks at Naruto who's emotionless. Then he slowly moves his head looking at each and every one of them his eyes stop on Hinata for a few seconds before moving on when they lock eyes on Sasuke.

He clenches his fists and everyone can feel the KI the pure hatred Naruto seems to have for Sasuke not that they know why other than Sasuke who knows exactly why and it makes him sad.

Naruto then reaches into his coat and puts on his mask and uses Hiraishin and vanishes.

Anko watches them all with a smirk on her face "Look at you all about to piss yourselves I bet you thought he was dead well he pretty much is, did you hear the rumour in Takigakure a year ago about the lone swordsman who massacred 2000 ninja's well that was Naruto or The Black Phantom although he prefers The Shadow he says The Black Phantom nickname sucks."

She starts to laugh "You should see your faces it's priceless well I better go find him before he massacres a few more people can't have him do that well not alone at least."

She Shunshin's away leaving everyone in complete shock.

Neji sighs "He really is dead inside."

Lee sighs "I refuse to believe that he showed kindness to that girl and I've heard a rumor that he's loved in one village he's treated as a hero there he's not dead we just need to break through the ice we can bring him back."

Sakura sighs Naruto what's made you this way.

Most of the gang are feeling the same as Sakura apart from Sasuke he knows why Naruto's so full of hate and it's all his fault not only did he let Naruto's godfather die but he also lost his best friend that day and closest thing he had to a brother figure although he also tried to kill him on more than one occasion, he also realises that he had something Naruto never had a family and he knows he will never gain Naruto's friendship again.

As he looks around he wonders if the rest will it seems the only person he's let get close to him is Anko-Sensei. Eventually, everyone breaks up into their own little groups.

Meanwhile, Naruto is again is at the Hokage Monument looking down at them all he then feels Anko's Chakra appear next to him.

She smirks "Hey you really scared them all they almost shit themselves."

He just nods and she smirks "Hey let's go back to mine unless you want to drink again I'm all for that."

He sighs "Is that all you do drink and eat Dango."

She smirks "Hey what's wrong with drinking Sake and eating Dango."

He nods "Fine"

He then senses Kakashi "You go first I have an unwanted guest."

She nods "I'll get the Sake."

He nods and she Shunshin's away then Kakashi appears "Naruto it is you isn't it."

He sighs "What do you want Hatake."

Kakashi sighs Hatake "Why are you so full of hate I saw you with your friends earlier but the hate was for Sasuke wasn't it what makes you hate him so much."

Before he knows it he's been rammed against a tree with Naruto's hand around his throat his eyes glare into Kakashi's eye "You want to know why I hate the traitor fine I'll tell you he let Jiraiya die."

Kakashi is shocked "No your wrong."

Naruto continues to add pressure and his eyes go red like they used to when Kyuubi was taking over he can control his eyes now but the fear factor amuses him "YOU CALL ME A LIAR I WAS FUCKING THERE I WAS FIGHTING KABUTO WHILST JIRAIYA WAS FIGHTING THAT BASTARD OROCHIMARU AND SASUKE JUST STOOD THERE WHILST OROCHIMARU DROVE HIS SWORD THROUGH JIRAIYA'S CHEST AND HE STOOD THERE AND LAUGHED AND YOU PATHETIC PEOPLE TREAT SASUKE LIKE HE'S A GOD WELL HE'S NOT A GOD HE'S A FUCKING PARASITE AND YOUR ALSO TO BLAME.

He releases Kakashi and uses the Hiraishin and disappears. Kakashi rubs his neck "Naruto I'm sorry, Minato I really failed you again how can I make this right."
