All of this chapter is going to be in Naruto's POV.

My head is pounding, what happened? I feel like I've just been hit over the head with a hammer several times over. I really don't want to open my eyes right now.

"aruto?"

"Naruto?"

Is that Sasuke?

"Naruto?"

"hm, yeah?"

I hear a sigh of relief.

"thank god your ok, after I found you on the bridge I bought you back and put you on the bed."

what's he talking about, why was I on the bridge?... Ohhhhh yeah last night, I had a panic attack and ended up on the bridge after I told Kakashi... that...

"th'nks for bringing me back Sasuke, how did you know where I was?"

"no problem Dobe, I heard you leave and when I looked towards where you were I followed then saw you collapse before you told me you couldn't breathe. what happened Naruto?"

"had panic attack, no biggie don't worry 'bout it."

"no biggie? what caused you to have a panic attack?"

"I think that was my doing, I'm sorry Naruto, I shouldn't have pushed to tell me anything."

crap I didn't even hear Kakashi come in.

"what do you mean sensei what happened?"

"me and Naruto just had a conversation and it took a turn, Naruto told me something that was concerning which I think he intended on keeping to himself. I left when he asked and I'm guessing he started to freak out."

"that's about right and don't worry kakashi, Sasuke already knows about what I told you."

"I do?"

"yeah it was that thing you asked about my 12th birthday."

"oh."

"yeah fun conversation that was, sorry bad humour I just don't know how to process any of this I guess."

"Naruto you have nothing to apologise for what happened to you, should never of happened and your the bravest person I know for coping as well as you have and for as long as you have."

"thanks Sasuke, and I sorry Kakashi for just dumping everything on you like that, it wasn't fair on you."

"so when did you tell Sasuke about what happened?"

"a couple nights, he wouldn't let it go."

"way to make me sound like a bad guy Dobe."

"sorry, didn't mean it like that, i just don't like telling people and can you blame me? you both wanted me to tell you so much, couldn't you see how uncomfortable and anxious i get. that is one thing i just don't want to remember, except i cant forget it because it either comes back full force as a nightmare or i get pestered about telling you two about something that makes me feel physically sick when i think about it!"

"sorry i didn't mean to snap, it just.. i hate this, this feeling of helplessness and anxiety. what can a 12 year old do against a group of 7 drunk shinobi? I never want to feel that weak and disgusted with myself ever again. please don't make me relive it again ok, i don't think i could handle it."

i couldn't take anymore and burst into tears, Sasuke was the first to wrap an arm around me quickly followed by Kakashi, maybe i can get through this in time if i have my team...

"Naruto, we're sorry that we pushed you into telling us something so traumatic, and we don't want you to have to relive anything, but when we get back to the village i need you to tell me who it was, if they're shinobi as you say then they need to be stripped of their ninja rights and sentenced. they should not be allowed to walk round the village after doing something so horrific, they'll be sent to ibiki and then charged with treason and then be jailed for life."

"Kakashi, I'm sorry but i really don't know who they are its useless."

i do but i cant face them, never mind testify against them.

sigh* "ok Naruto, we should get going, we only have today to get back to the village we need to pack up and make a move, your strong Naruto and I'm proud to call you my student."

"thanks Kaka-sensei." i try to muster up my best smile.

"come on Dobe, lets get packed up, ok?"

"yeah."

Naruto and Sasuke make their way to the bridge and see everybody waiting for them.

"hurry up Baka! you kept us waiting!"

"shut the fuck up Sakura, your already giving me a headache!"

i look to Sasuke a smile to thank him as Sakura decides to stay quiet for the remainder of the time that we spend saying goodbye.

"hey Naruto look above the bridge."

"huh, why- oh my god, i don't believe it..."

"t-the great nar-ruto bridge?"

"but why would they name it that?"

"because Naruto you're a hero to this village."

"a hero?"

"yes, now i think its time we go if we're going to make it before the sun sets."

"lets go."
