Thank you to all two of you who reviewed, I really appreciate every hit, visit, review, favorite and alert.

CW – I know that I may have been a bit misleading, but what I was trying to say is that Iruka was being looked at as a potential candidate in the eyes of those who were picturing long term growth. At the time he was still just an Anbu, just an Anbu member who had progressed faster than others and didn't stop until the day he met Orochimaru. Take Kakashi for example, he became a genin at the age of 6 and a chunin at what, 7? If he had kept progressing at that rate he would have been able to become the Hokage by… say, twenty, but since he didn't keep progressing at that rate he didn't become Hokage. The parallel I'm trying to draw here is a 7 year old Kakashi to an approximately 20 year old Iruka, sorry if I only made you more confused with this short wall of text explaining my thought process. Oh and I'm sorry about Iruka's death, I just felt like it needed to be done, maybe not in the first chapter, but I felt it really rounded things off quite well. Hope that helped clear up any other questions you may have had. Thanks for the review, I appreciate it.

Kevin – Yeah, for sure it won't become regular, only when it has to be done. Thanks for the review!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto you silly goose!

Kabuto hastily retreating through the forest smiled to himself as he had escaped with more than just his life. That washed out old loser had never expected a basic Kawarimi to counter what he felt was a plan worthy of the gods. He had escaped with the scroll and the life of a loyal Konoha shinobi. Today was a good day in his mind. He was quite sure that Orochimaru would be pleased by his actions. The only problem with this was the Jinchuriki, Naruto. He saw too much and Kabuto knew that he would inform Konoha that Orochimaru's subordinate had escaped. 'This may not be a perfect situation, but it's salvageable' Kabuto thought looking at the scroll in his hands. Picking up speed as he reached the borders of the Land of Fire, he decided that this was going to be a good day.

(Konoha)

Naruto stood in the Hokage's office, still unable to process what had happened that night. The man he had grown to love as a father died before him and left him alone in the world. The old man's soft and soothing voice lulled him back to reality,

"Naruto, can you please tell me what happened tonight?" He asked not trying to rush the boy, "If you don't feel good, that's okay, and we can talk later. Are you okay with telling me about how Iruka… Passed?" The Third asked a genuine look of concern on his face.

Naruto looked up and swallowed back anything he may have been holding and started speaking, "Well, he was fighting this guy who said he worked for some guy called Orochimaru. It's a complete jumble right now, I'm sorry. All I remember is that it was…" As much as it pained him to admit it, "Kind of one sided. It was as though the guy with white hair was just playing, with Sensei. He seemed to have no trouble at all until Iruka got an explosive tag on the scroll." Naruto ended an aloof look still in his eyes as though he were in deep contemplation.

'Orochimaru… This is not good… He has the forbidden scroll… I am in way too deep right now.' Sarutobi thought to himself while looking at Naruto, hoping to find some emotion in the boy, if only to let him know that he wasn't completely broken. He saw enough emotions to know that the boy was feeling something, if not everything. "Go home Naruto, you have enough on your plate right now, get some rest and when you're feeling better come talk to me. If you're feeling up to it, tomorrow is the day they assign teams for the fresh genin. Go to the academy and the rest will fall into place, alright Naruto?" The Hokage asked, hoping Naruto would return to his normal self with time.

"There is one thing I want to ask you… Tell me the full story of Iruka's life, he told me to ask you that." Naruto asked quietly.

"Naruto, you're in no condition to be here for too long, I will tell you soon. That much I can assure you, but now is not the time. Understand?" The hokage asked softly.

Without a word Naruto just nodded and walked out of the office, taking his time to stroll the streets never taking his eyes off his feet. 'What happened…? How did Iruka die…? He was so strong, but just like that, that bastard killed him…' Naruto thought, his mind oozing with questions, as he looked up he remembered the night that Iruka told him about the Kyuubi, how it looked so much like this one. A beautiful night, but Naruto remembered how angry he was when he found out about his past. 'I guess in the long run that technically did help me, and as some might say, everything seems to happen for a reason.' Naruto thought rationally, calming down slowly. 'It seems that things in my life have a way of looking like curses, but really helping me in the end… I wonder if this could be one of those situations.' Naruto thought, trying to salvage and rationalize the predicament he found himself to be trapped in. 'No matter what, I know that I need to be stronger, I can't let someone close to me die like that. As it stands I would have died in a second… I guess there really will always be someone better than me, but right now I have to be able to measure up to this Orochimaru, and I guess that starts with finding out about who he is…' Naruto thought.

"Kage Bunshin" Naruto muttered as two clones puffed into existence. He gave them orders to go to two different libraries and to look up anything they could find about any Orochimaru's. He grew tired of his wandering the streets and returned to his apartment where he retired for the night. Before returning to bed, he noticed that his clones were still in existence and wondered how much information there could be on this person. 'That's odd, they usually finish in an hour or two… Who could he be?' Naruto wondered to himself as he turned in for the night, hoping that the morning would shed some light on the mysterious man.

(The Next Morning)

Naruto woke up with a throbbing headache, signifying that his clones had found more than he expected, enough to bring him a massive migraine. 'Damn, it usually takes at least 5 scrolls for me to be in this much pain; it must be a side effect from everything that happened last night.' Naruto thought, knowing that last night's proceedings weren't just a part of some awful nightmare.

Realizing he was late and didn't have much time before his team was announced. Deciding that he didn't honestly care if he was late, he didn't focus on watching where he was going and took a slow stroll. 'So, Orochimaru is…' As his mind trailed off, leaving it all to his memories.

A once renowned Konoha shinobi, the student of the third hokage, and one of the three legendary sannin. 'Well, that's an odd start; I wouldn't have guessed that…' Naruto thought to himself.

Hailed as one of the greatest shinobi that Konoha has ever produced he has recently become a missing ninja. He defected from Konoha after being found out to have been performing genetic experiments illegally. No further information was disclosed. 'What the hell do they mean by genetic experiments?' Naruto thought confused. The memories started to pass by as he studied the man who was the reason for his sensei's untimely death.

'He will die and that's all there is to it, but I'm so weak right now… This is going to be tough without Sensei…' Naruto thought glumly, but keeping his composure as he knew that crying would solve nothing.

He walked into class to be greeted by the sight of a new teacher. He had short, black hair that spiked up and had a cigarette in his mouth. He had an air of confidence that said to Naruto that he knew how to fight. "You're late, sit down." He said.

Naruto made his way back to his usual corner as all the kids quieted down seeing as how the replacement had taken a sheet of paper out that held the fate of all these fresh genin.

"Ehem." He cleared his throat, gathering the attention of anyone who hadn't already been eagerly listening.

"Alright, I'm going to call out the members of each squad. These teammates will be your lifeline. Learn to work with them, learn to live with them, and above all learn to trust them. Your life is their life. Your squad may be composed of 3 individuals and a sensei, but you must act as though you are one living creature. Now that that's done, let's get to the teams." He said scanning the list before calling them out. As he started speaking Naruto decided that he would create a schedule with which he could allocate certain times of the day for his clones to train. He kept an ear out waiting for his own name to be called out.

'So, I guess I'll just stick to the same schedule. Maybe I'll kick it up a bit, because right now I have to be stronger. Tonight I'll experiment and see how many I can put out for a full night without getting tired. Hopefully we won't do anything too tiring tomorrow, because tonight is going to be' He was cut off in the middle when he heard his name.

"And Uzumaki Naruto will make up team 7 under Hatake Kakashi." The man stated before quickly moving on the next team. 'They have no idea what they're in for.' As he watched the pink haired girl perform a small impromptu victory dance, while the other two just looked at her.

'Am I on her team?' Naruto thought, hoping the answer was no. Sasuke remained as emotionless as ever as he stared straight ahead, revenge being the only thing on his mind.

Naruto watched as many instructors came through the door taking their teams away to get to know each other better. Even the substitute teacher had grabbed three of the students and left, leaving Naruto alone with Sasuke and Sakura. About two hours had passed before Naruto decided that he was bored. Having mapped out his schedule, he decided to try to spark a conversation. Seeing as how they would be teammates he felt it would be necessary to be able to talk to them.

"So, do you guys know anything about this Hatake Kakashi?" Naruto asked, honestly wondering if they knew any more than he did.

Sakura looked at him with an irritated look in her eyes, "All I know is that he's one late son of a b," but before she could finish she was cut off by the sound of the door sliding open.

"Hello," but he looked up a moment too soon as an eraser fell directly on top of his face, causing the dust to disperse, leaving him coughing. "I was thinking about being nice to you little punks, but that little stunt makes me want to kill you!" He said feigning anger, "I'll see you on the roof!" He said lightheartedly, as though trying to scare the students into thinking he was a bit on the crazy side, which for the most part worked.

'What the hell is wrong with this guy… It was just a prank. Oh well, I'll have to show him that I mean business. I hope he isn't some cop out bastard who doesn't actually teach us anything…' Naruto thought, optimistically hoping that his teacher would be at least somewhat like Iruka. Naruto's thoughts drifted back to his now dead teacher.

'I hope Sasuke thinks I'm cool, but god damn I feel like fainting right now.' Sakura thought not going too much past the fact that she wanted Sasuke to like her.

'If he can make me stronger then I can respect him. Nothing will stand in my way. That much is a fact.' Sasuke thought broodingly to himself.

As they made their way up to the roof they noticed the leaves swirling in the wind and in a poof of smoke, the man with white hair had appeared standing on the railing. Deciding that was too flashy, he sat down and motioned for the three of them to take seats across from him on the steps.

"So, since we're a team now, we might as well get to know each other. That's the way every team should start. Well, how about we talk about our personalities. Tell me what your name is, your interests, your hobbies, your goals, what you dislike and anything else you may want me to know about." Kakashi stated. "How about you start Pinky?" Kakashi ordered more so than asked.

"Well," Sakura started, "why don't you start so that I can get a feel for how I should start my monologue?" She asked, trying to outwit her Sensei.

"Sure, my name is Hatake Kakashi, I am interested in quite a few things, my hobbies? Oh, you know this and that. I live for some things; I don't live for other things…" Trailing off, "You know the usual. I dislike some things, but not too much. And really, that's all there is to me. My life has been an odd one, and all I can tell you is that you should never expect anything to be quite as easy as you expect it to be." He finished, looking up at the clouds above.

(Years ago)

He held her limp, lifeless body in his arms as he had failed to fulfill his best friend's dying wish.

She had been lost on a simple reconnaissance mission, nothing was supposed to happen, it was supposed to be a simple mission, maybe some bandits, but everything had gone straight to hell.

They had met some unexpected problems in the form of some pesky bandits, but they had been dealt with rather quickly as their squad was of a relatively high skill level. The bandits had just been a distraction though, for when they had taken care of the bandits they were ambushed by more people that seemed to be bandits. Underestimating them, they let their confidence get the best of them. They were horribly wrong.

They were shinobi of at least jounin rank each. They were outnumbered and outgunned. They had pulled a last moment ditch effort; Kakashi pushing his limits by performing Chidori's one after another, dropping these shinobi left and right. Rin healing those who were wounded, and those uninjured helping Kakashi fend off the ruthless ninja, and with his comrades at his side they pushed back the skilled shinobi. They were powerful individual shinobi, all relatively well known, but the Konoha shinobi were a squad and had the teamwork to go with it, unlike the missing-nin. With well coordinated attacks, they picked them off one at a time, but Kakashi had gotten caught up in the moment and didn't notice the three shinobi charging towards his blind side. Rin knew what was about to happen, and in a split second took one of the hits meant for Kakashi. The other nicking his mouth, but not too deep, and the third was picked off.

"Rin, why did you take that for me?" He asked, emotions swelling up for the first time since the death of his best friend. He knew that her cut was deep, and since she was the designated medical ninja, they had no way of healing her. "You could have healed me had he gotten me, why did you do that? Why, damn it, WHY?" Kakashi yelled at her, tears streaming down the young man's face.

"I-It was going straight for your heart. There was no way you would have lived after that, trust me I would know…" She said sarcastically, coughing up blood.

"Don't die… Please, don't die… I don't know what I'll do if I lose you…" Kakashi quietly whispered, as he cradled her body in his arms.

"Keep living Kakashi, find new people to protect, and never lose hope because there will always be light near a shadow…" Rin stated, her voice becoming increasingly erratic and quiet.

"I'm sorry…" He choked out.

"Don't be…" She smiled at him and closed her eyes for the final time.

He held her limp, lifeless body in his arms as he had failed to fulfill his best friend's dying wish.

'I'm sorry Obito… I failed you…' Kakashi thought as he quietly sobbed.

(Present Day)

As he looked back down, he noticed his students were staring at him. "What?" He asked, genuinely confused.

"You've been staring at the sky for about a minute sensei, something wrong?" Naruto asked.

"Sorry, I just got lost on the road of life… Well, since that's out of the way and you know how I want you to introduce yourselves, how about you start now Pinky?" He asked, his eyes still aloof.

Sakura shook her head and hoped that this wasn't a habit of the man, "Well, my name is Haruno Sakura, my interests include studying and Sasuke-kun, my goal is to," she noticeably glanced to her side where Sasuke sat. "Well, my goal isn't important; I dislike a lot of things like Ino, and people who think they're better than everyone else!" She said the last part, showing how much she truly knew about Sasuke.

Deciding that these answers weren't sufficient, he decided to ask them to add on one more part to their answer, "Good, but I have one more question, where do you see yourself with your shinobi career years from now?" He asked, hoping that the girl had at least some sort of goal in the shinobi world. If not then he would have to hammer it into her that being a shinobi wasn't fun and games.

"So, finish your answer along with the last part." Kakashi said, staring past the students, as though eyeing something behind them.

"Oh, uh. Where do I see myself years from now? I, uh, haven't thought that far ahead yet… I would like to progress, but I don't know how much really…" Sakura said without any confidence.

Kakashi shook his head, "Well, just remember you have to put lots of effort into your training if you want to honestly become a true shinobi, because as it stands right now, in my eyes you're still just academy students.

Sakura nodded, her sensei wasn't intimidating, but he held an air around him that they knew meant that he could be whatever he wanted to be, whenever he wanted to be it.

"Now that we're done with that, next up is you Spiky." Kakashi said, having fun making these pet names up.

"Well, to start, my name is Uzumaki Naruto and I am interested in ramen, training, reading, and manga. I dislike, as Sakura said, people who are over confident, curry, and people who expect things to happen for them. My goal is to one day become stronger than everyone in the village and be recognized as the Hokage. If that doesn't answer your question about where I see myself in these years to come, then I don't know what will." Naruto stated a smile on his face.

'Oho, Naruto actually has goals and a way to go about it. That's a step up from Sakura. The hokage, eh? I wonder if I can help. He likes to train and hates people who wait for opportunities rather than making opportunities… I can tell, he is going to be one hell of a shinobi… If he passes.' Kakashi thought to himself, a cruel grin on his face, but no one could see it through his mask. They had no idea what was in store for them tomorrow.

Looking back to his students he said, "Alright, you're up next Duck Butt Head." Kakashi said, the insult in his mind both witty and effective.

Sasuke just cocked his head at him and sighed. 'This guy's an idiot…'

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke; I am interested in climbing the ranks of shinobi and becoming stronger. My goal is to one day kill someone. My hobbies include training, and my dislikes include said person and fan girls." Sasuke finished.

Sakura was already blushing at how cool her hero had sounded. 'Wow, his goal is to kill someone, that's so cool!' She thought her face growing redder with each passing moment.

'Why am I not surprised? God damn it, this is going to be a bit tougher than I had hoped. Why can't he just be a normal little boy, he has to obsess over getting revenge, huh?' Kakashi thought, wondering how he would train the last Uchiha.

"Well, since that didn't take nearly as long as I had hoped, how about we go get some dinner, sound good team?" He put emphasis on the word team, as though hoping that they would understand that this was an order, not a question.

Naruto being a lover of ramen asked, "Where to, Ichiraku's? They serve the best ramen in the village hands down." Naruto said mere seconds after the words had left his sensei's mouth.

A bead of sweat raced down Kakashi's head in an almost comic fashion. "Eh, sure why not. Any objections team?" Kakashi asked.

Sakura nodded her head, not really caring about where they went, so long as she sat next to Sasuke. Sasuke didn't say anything and just kept walking along thinking of his own ways to kill his older brother.

Naruto, deciding that this was too boring, challenged his sensei, "Oi, Kakashi-sensei, how about we race to see who has to pay the bill for Ichiraku's?" Naruto asked, his smile spread cheek to cheek.

Kakashi looked at the boy with a curious look, "Well, I don't see why not Naruto." The man said underestimating the boy's speed and vicious appetite for ramen.

"Ready… Set…. GO!" Naruto seemingly teleported away, leaving his teammates and sensei standing there questioning what just happened.

"Oh crap!" Kakashi yelled as he realized that the boy was a hustler. 'Crap crap crap! If what I've heard about this kid is right, he can down upwards of 30 ramen bowls at a time.' He thought hoping that the boy was slower than he had thought.

He teleported away, hoping to catch the freak of nature. As he dashed along the roof tops of Konoha hoping to spot the boy, the only things he caught were passing glances from people who thought he was crazy. For the first time in a while he had started to panic. 'How the hell can that kid go that fast?' He thought, and to anyone watching him it seemed like he was a mad man late for his wedding.

When he finally arrived, he felt as though it had taken him hours, although in reality it took him no more than a minute.

He walked into the stand and saw Naruto already three bowls in. "I got about 2 dozen more on the way Sensei!" Naruto spat out with his mouth full.

"Damn it Naruto, hustling is wrong and you shouldn't do it! You could get yourself in a lot of trouble that way!" Kakashi scolded, hoping the boy would regret his action enough to pay for his share of the meal.

"It's only bad if you bet the wrong people the wrong things. This one is all you sensei. No way you're weaseling your way out of this one." Naruto stated, a large grin on his face.

The other two walked in to see that Kakashi was sitting with his head on the table, and Naruto downing another bowl.

"Seven... Eight... Nine..." Naruto counted as he gobbled down the contents of the bowl.

"You can't be serious, how are you still alive damn it?" Kakashi yelled at him hoping the boy would pass out, hoping for something that would get him out of this situation.

'He's just like Obito and Minato. He's just like those two, the determination and will power of Minato, the bottomless pit that he calls a stomach and sense of humor like Obito... God I miss those two, but I may very well be able to find new precious people to protect in this team. He stared at the three of them who were sitting and talking, even Sasuke had decided that it was no use to stay silent.

"So, you like to train, right Naruto? What kind of methods do you use?" He asked curiously, wondering if he could learn something from his teammate.

'Perfect, they can talk to each other and Sasuke is able to swallow some of his pride to take advice and tips from others. This might just work out after all...' The white haired man thought as he watched the three talk.

"Well, for starters I..." Naruto remembered that he wasn't allowed to tell anyone about his training method because it was forbidden. "Well, I do some weight training and I do chakra control mainly. Those two are things I really need to work on, jutsu and techniques can come in later, that's something I found to be especially true, but I could really use a sparring partner. How about we train together sometime?" Naruto asked, getting the usually cold boy to warm up to him.

"Wow, sure we can train together some time." Sasuke said, a genuine look of surprise on his face. No one had ever wanted to train with him, just fawn over him. This was a first and he felt different than usual. He felt almost... Happy, an emotion he hadn't felt in quite some time. Deciding that this was something he wanted more of, he asked Sakura to join them.

Not missing a beat she agreed whole heartedly. 'A chance to hang out with Sasuke-kun? No doubt I'll be there!' Sakura thought to herself as she happily plotted out strategies to make Sasuke fall for her.

'I may regret that invitation soon... I don't think honestly wants to train...' Sasuke thought as he started into his second bowl. Unknown to many he held a deep affection for ramen, not unlike Naruto. He looked over at Naruto and saw that he was already through three stacks of bowls, each piled 12 high.

"Alright Naruto, seriously, are you using some sort of jutsu to eat that much, or are you just not human?" Sasuke asked, half serious half jokingly.

"Well, that's a question I have yet to find an answer to..." Naruto stated, trailing off. 'How can I eat this much without... Well dying?' He thought to himself curiously.

'They're all starting to grow on me... Failing them is going to be so tough... I hope I don't have to, but I don't want to give an undeserving group of kids the rank of shinobi... This is going to be really tough.' Kakashi thought to himself.

"Well, I have some business to take care of, so I'll be taking my leave now. Oh, and meet me at Training Ground 37 tomorrow morning at six A.M." And with that, he disappeared in a poof of smoke, leaving his three students to pay the tab.

"Did he just leave us with the tab? That son of a bitch!" Naruto exclaimed. 'I'll kill him... He's going to regret that tomorrow...' He thought to himself.

"Well, that was enlightening. Oh, look at the time, I think I left my hair curler on at home!" Naruto dashed away as fast as he could, escaping before they could catch him with the bill. 'Hehe, suckers!' He thought happily.

"God damn it... We just got screwed, didn't we?" Sasuke asked Sakura. All she could do was nod her head in disbelief.

Sasuke stood up in anger, "what kind of people would leave us two with the bill!" He yelled and slammed his hands down on the table, which startled Sakura. In her shock, he made his way out of the stand and took to the roofs, evading the bill and leaving Sakura alone.

The owner was staring at her with a smile on her face and a frying pan in hand. "I'll take it that you have the money to pay for... 53 bowls of ramen?" He asked with a false smile on his face.

"... God damn it..."

Naruto charged through the streets, sending one clone to the library, and sending an entire army of them to different training grounds in pairs. Tonight was going to be combat experience.

As his clone arrived at the library, he looked up 'Hatake Kakashi'. Not nearly as many scrolls were found on him as Orochimaru, but an abnormally large amount came up. 'Damn, this is going to be a lot of reading for just one clone. With that he hit the books and the rest of the night flew by.

The original Naruto was doing physical conditioning at his apartment, mulling over what had happened today. The usually stoic Sasuke had warmed up and opened himself to his new teammates. He wondered how Sasuke and Sakura fared with the bill after he left them alone. 'They hate me right now, I am so sure of that.' He thought with a foxy grin on his face.

Sasuke stood in his family training ground alone. He stared ahead as he recalled the day's events with a small smile. 'Friends, eh? It's not like Itachi is going anywhere, and maybe I can learn a thing or two from these people...'

'I wonder how Sakura handled that... I should feel bad, shouldn't I?' He thought with a hint of remorse.

"Oh well, no harm done!" Sasuke said happily for the first time in years.

Kakashi stared at the memorial stone, his eyes shifting to a name known by many. A name he would always remember, and a name that he didn't often look to for guidance. Hatake Sakumo. Konoha's White Fang.

The memories he had of his father were vivid. The man was his role model, his idol, and above all his father.

(Years Ago)

A young boy no more than 5 years old was seen being tossed up by his father, who was congratulating him for graduating from the academy.

"You did it son, you're a shinobi now!" The man yelled happily.

"I couldn't have done it without you, dad!" The boy yelled back just happily. "This is going to be so great dad, I can be just like you now!"

"Yeah son, some day you'll be just as strong as me!" He enthusiastically exclaimed.

(One Year Later)

The same boy walked out of the building sporting his brand new chunin vest. His father was nowhere to be found. After a failed mission where he decided to save the lives of his teammates rather than completing the mission. In a shinobi village, this was looked at as a complete failure, and there was no excuse for what he did. He fell into a deep depression and no one had thought of him as Konoha's White Fang, just the father of a rising shinobi. He was looked at with pity, contempt, and sympathy. He had never returned to his former self.

'Dad, if only you could see me right now...' Kakashi stated, his mind wandering to his now depressed father.

Kakashi continued to climb the ranks of the konoha shinobi. His father remained in a deep depression until he decided to end it all. He was a failure in his own mind, and he deserved absolutely nothing for anybody. The people he had saved had resented him for it, for taking away their chance to be a part of a Konoha history. Kakashi was still a young boy, and his father's personality change had affected him in multiple ways. He still held that faint, optimistic hope that his father would go back to who he once was.

(Months Later)

Kakashi stared at the grave, hours after the rest had left. His father was dead. The man who had taught him everything there was to be about shinobi had killed himself.

'He's dead.' Kakashi thought morbidly.

Kakashi had never been the same shinobi. Before he was like his father, light hearted and kind, but after his death he decided that it was time that he lived the strict life of a shinobi, he turned off all of his emotions and became a cold killing machine. It wasn't until he met his team that he found new precious people to live for, but they had all been ripped from his life as well.

(Present Day)

'Father, Obito, Rin, Minato... I think it's time that I started living for others again, it's what you all would want, right?' He thought to himself as he stared at the stone.

He watched the stone for the rest of the night, thinking about the new people that may become his new precious people. 'This time, I won't let your names end up on this stone... I promise.' He thought to himself as the night faded away.

A/N – Voila, chapter 2! I'm glad I got 2 reviews because two is better than none, but I do hope for some more feedback from this chapter. The bell test will probably span all of next chapter and I am aiming for about 6,000 words. I know Sasuke isn't usually like this, but I kind of want him to be… Not too emo. He won't be all I love everyone, but he won't be as broody as usual. Please tell me what you think. Point out inconsistencies I may have, those will help make my writing better. Thanks for reading!

Leave reviews, add me to your favorites, your alerts, anything! I hope you enjoyed, tell me what I can do to make my writing better.

Next chapter should be out within a week, maybe sooner. Have a good weekend!

Oh and one more thing, if anyone has any ideas on what the title on the story should or could be, do tell me, I know this is a bland title, but I can't think of anything else, so share your ideas!
