Yup, anolther chapter, won't be as short. Meant to be this way.
Own squat, need more money so i can own stuff.
Well, let's start
"horrible injury"
"Will never heal"
"Hokage-Sama said she can't help it."
"Heard the Uchia kid did it to him."
"Only cause he used it."
"Shh- He's waking" Naruto slowly came to consiouness as he heard the group of nurses gossip near his bed. A scurry of sounds were heard as the group left his room. He sighed. Alone again. Sure, he could always have a 'very nice chat' with that bastard fox, but half of the conversation would be how he could maim Naruto with his laft claw. He spent his other half talking about his right claw. Though a complete ass, he was helpful at times. He alteast explained that he would be very weak for quite some time, if not the rest of his life. Having a permanent hole in one's chest does that to a person.
Flashback, inside Naruto's mind
Naruto was at Kyuubi's cell, who was laughing despite the state of his body.
"You look like hell kit. What's the matter? Can't beat another stupid brat on your own.
"If that brat has the power of a snake, then I need a little help. Maby if the help wasn't so weak I could beat him and not die! Bastard fox" They glared at each other for a few minutes. Ending in a draw, Naruto pipped up again.
"So what's with the hole in my chest? I may be in here, but I can tell that it aint going anywhere."
"Brat!" Kyuubi yelled. "You just got a Chidori shoved in your chest and you're complaining of a hole? You should be on your knees thanking me for being alive.
"Like hell I would! You're just saving your sorry ass. My life was just a side effect."
"...Brat"
"...Ass" After this breif argument, they went back to buisness.
"Let me put this simply. I used my chakra to burn your insides shut so that they wouldn't fall out and kill us. Since i don't know much about repairing damage that I do to meatsacks, It's gonna stay that way. Your other injuries I simply just healed your natural healing properties. Here I would actually have to recreate your chest. You lost quite a bit of your heart, but through manipulation of your stem cells, I managed to create two seperate halves of it. It is really quite simple actually." Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Uhh, say that again in English would ya?" If he could, Kyuubi would of torn Naruto apart right now.
"OK. Burned hole, stop death. Can't fix burned hole. Moved stuff around hole. Do. You. Under. Stand?" Kyuubi spoke slowly in annoyance, which of course pissed off Naruto.
"Of course I do! What, do you think I'm stupid or something?" The two stood in silence for about a minute. "Shut up!" Kyuubi looked at the boy and was reminded, again, why he hated humans. Arrogent concieted assholes. Most of them pissed them off, especially this one. Sure, he respected some, but those he hated even more.
"Ok, because I had to move your insides around, you will be weaker for a very long time. This is something that not even you can overcome so easily, and I won't help you.Now if you don't mind, I need to sleep. So get out!"
End Flashback
Naruto's eyes slowly focused as he saw Tsunade walk in. She smiled at her younger brother.
"How ya feelion brat?" Naruto gave an affirmative grunt as what happened started to sink in. He killed his best friend and now he had a hole in his chest. Hell, becoming blind wouldn't be as bad. There had to be numerous techniques using chakra pulses to see the world, but this was differant. It showed his failure as a friend. The lone set of flowers proved it. Apparently only one person visited him, and he knew it couldn't of been Sakura. He ended up staring at it, tears forming in his eyes. He felt the weight of Tsunade sitting on his bed, holding his hand. She said nothing, for nothing could be said to help. He turned to her.
"I, I failed. I broke a promise. I killed someone. Not just someone, but my only friend. He, he was the only one who understood me." she grabbed her for comfort. They sat there for a few minutes, comforting each other.
"Well, Since you seem to be healthy," She tried to consol the blond with the little good news that she had. "I think that we can let you go in the morning." He nodded at her, surpressing a yawn. "But first you need some sleep. Try to get some, OK?" She gave Naruto a gentle kiss on the forehead as he laid his head down and fell asleep.
Next Morning
After signing his release papers, he was roaming Konoha. He didn't feel like eating, or talk to anyone. He just wanted to walk around in peace. He was in his usual outfit, minus the orange jacket, sulking. He just wanted to be alone for a while. He also noticed the cold stares he got from everyone. He was used to thiuer ignorent stares because of the Kyuubi, but these were differant, he deserved thm. But he kept on walking, walking. After walking for awhile, he became tired of it and sat down on the nearest bench.
He sat depressed for nearly an hour before he heard footsteps. He didn't look up from the ground, even when familer sandels came into veiw. He felt something hit his face, a hand. He nearly broke down there, wanting to cry, but didn't. Slowly, he looked up. His veiw changed to a pair of slender legs, to a red kimonowhich slowly gave way to a face. The face of his remaining teammate. Her green eyes told what he already knew. She hated him.
"How could you?" He didn't say a thing. "How could you kill my Sasuke-kun, and come back with out a scratch? Why did you do it, why?" She fell to her knees, crying. He simply looked at her. She was on the ground, crying. As much as he wanted to consol her, he couldn't. He simply got up and walked away, leaving the pink haired kunoichi shocked.
He had to get away. He tried to go home, but there was a large mob awaiting him. Luckilly he got away before they saw him. A smaller group was stationed at Ichiraku's, much to the owner's dismay, and at Team Seven's old training grounds. All of his favorie places were cut off from him. He would even settle for a dark alley, but even the bums hassled him there. Eventually he made his way home. He almost litealry had to fight his way to his house. Amid the various objects thrown at him, he heard his internal thoughts.
"You're a monster!"
"You corrupted our best rookie!"
"Get out of our village!"
"We all hate you!" Although he had nearly perfect control over his inner demon, he was so close to snapping and killing them all, he could almost taste thier blood. Fortunally for every one, the mob could feel the boy's tension and Kyuubi's chakra emitting from the boy. They had two choices. The first was to continue to goad him till he snapped and leveled Konoha, or two, back away, giving him death glares. Not wanting to fight for thier lives right now, they opted for the later.
Slowly Naruto climbed the stairs to his apartment. He ignored the vandelism and broken door, but doing so he failed to notice a bucket of soapy water in the hall. The inside was nothing but what he expected. Everything thrashed, broken, torn, or screwed up in some fashion. Of course this was somewhat mild as he once came home to his house on fire during his younger days. Then he heard some noises coming from his bedroom. Naruto didn't know what to do. Half of him wanted to tear him from limb to limb, the other half wanted to tell him to hurry up. As his darker side won over, he clenched his fists and approached his intruder. He peeked in, only seeing the shadow. Ok, so the he was a she, but that didn't matter. She was doing something in the closet, humming to herself. She's not going to be so happy in a moment.He lunged, grabbing her wrist, breaking it instantly. He pulled her up, fist about to crack the side of her face when
"Hinata?" He stopped his assalt on the poor girl It was then that he noticed that she was cleaning his apartment, not destroying it. He was shocked, not at her kindness, but at himself. Still gripping her broken wrist, he looked into her eyes. Fear, pain, and anger. He dropped her and backed away. "I did it again, I hurt another friend. I, I..." The young Hyuugan, cradleing her wrist, looked up at her crush. She didn't know what to think.
"Naruto-kun?" She was very confused, not sure how to handle this. He slowly backed out of the room. She stood up to follow him.
"I'm sorry." He spoke softly before he ran out of sight. She heard glass breaking as he jumped through and out of his window and an angry mob giving chase. She sat there crying for her long time love.
Whew, took me a bit to write, in about three good sessions. I'll be updating 3souls next. But first, a nap! I'm thinking of having the sand siblings show up next. I'm thinking of pairing him with Temari since she knows what it's like to know a 'monster'. Yeah, I told you that the other chapters would be much longer, and am I right, no? Si Que? Let me what you prefer in your reviews! Also include sugestions of a name for this story, the current one blows.
