"S-Sakura I need to go. I'll catch up with you some other time." Naruto began to walk away trying his hardest to get far from her before something happened.

"Naruto?" Sakura called out to him "what's wrong? Did something happen?" she started to walk closer towards him.

Shit! she needs to get away from me. Why is this happening now of all times and during the day time. Naruto had began to question the reason why this sudden sensation was coming over him. Had the demon grip on him grown stronger?

"Hey Naruto are you listening to me?" Sakura wined behind him. Quickly Naruto snapped his face towards her with growing anger " I'm fine. I just need some time alone right now." gritting his teeth he tried to suppress his swelling anger. Go away, go way, go way, Naruto repeated to him self.

"O-ok" Sakura said with a little disappointed in voice. "I sorry to have bothered you" she turned away looking with sadness in her eyes, but she stopped half way and looked at him " Naruto I just wanted you to know that I just felt worried about you" she said with a sad smile "and if you need anybody to talk about anything you know where to find me"

Naruto watched her walk away instill her form fades into the distance. I'm sorry Sakura. I just can't be around any body right now. Naruto clinched his fist digging his nails into his palm. He felt anger and sadness towards himself that he had to treat those he cared about this way. Turning away he headed back towards to gates.

...

When he had reached the village gates he had notice his mood changed quite drastically. He was rather calm and mellow than the anger he felt minutes ago. Maybe it was best for others and self that he became more secluded. The forest set him at peace and he had less to worry about running onto anybody out here. He had ran very far from the village just for that purpose. Looking around he could make out the tall trees that gave in light thought the canopies. Pulling off his pack he started his routine. He had to run to the distant hills and be back to this spot before nightfall or he had to do extra push up's. This made him feel like might guy.

His favorite part about running was the wind wiping by his face. The fresh smell of the forest filled him with ease. Every now and then he would spot the forest animals walking by then be spooked away when he passed by. Hi favorite was the deer with their graceful bodies and they where the least afraid of him. However, he never dared to get to close to him.

A few kilometers out he spotted a river flowing by and he as very thirsty from running. He had only 4 kilometers before he reached his destination and the sun was still high In the sky. Reaching the river bank he scoped water into his parched mouth until stomach was swishing from so much water inside. A sudden sleepiness felt on to him and eyes began to fee heavy.

Well I guess it couldn't hurt to take a short nap before I run again. Resting his head on the warm rocks Naruto drifted off to sleep.

Every thing was dark for a moment and a bizarre dream washed over him. Standing in the middle of pitch blackness was himself except he was watching him self like a monitor. He began to walk closer when stopped in horror when he realized the clone of himself was covered in blood. "who are you going to eat next" the clone laughed placing it's bloody hand on Naruto's face. Naruto couldn't move anything. His body was stopped in position while the clone smeared more blood on his face. " hah! I guess it doesn't matter they all look delicious especially that Sakura girl" the clone body shock with a force of laughter. "No! I wouldn't do that!" Naruto screamed. "Yes you will and you will enjoy it doing it" the clone screamed back. Naruto' body through into a fit struggling to get free. He manage to get his arms moving then his legs. He then tackled the clone and started to punch him in the face. " you can't control this hunger any longer" the clone smiled despite getting smashed in the face. " you better eat something soon or the demon will devour you" Naruto's brain went blank and an animalistic behavior took over him.

"well if I have to eat some thing-" Naruto growled his mouth turning into a devious smile. The clone eyes turned horrified from his look. " than I'll just have to eat you" Naruto's teeth tor into the clone's shoulder tearing away the bloody flesh. " NOOOO!" the clone screamed in a high pitched voice. Naruto swallowed the flesh and went for a scorned bite. just like he thought the meat tasted like shit.

"Well done Naruto" the clone said with that smirk still on it's face despite having half a shoulder left. " What the hell are you talking about with that damn smile" Naruto spat blood on the cones face.

" I guess you still had it in you. That killer instinct is still working to it's finest" the clone laughed.

" your wrong . Your nothing but a dream" Naruto wished that he could make clone scream again.

" Yes your right on that, but I guess you have to wake up to find our" the snapped his fingers and he vanished with a smile. Then everything came to light.

Naruto had awoken from the nightmare and him self still on the rocks but something was weird. The sun was low in the sky and was only an hour till sun down. Naruto began to panic he had to get back to the village quick. Sitting up he felt something wet on his hands. Blood.

Blood soaked his hands and dripped down from his mouth. There was no way that dream was real he thought. Looking around he spotted something a few feet away from him. His eyes narrow and made out the deformed shape. The carcass of a torn up deer laid there cover in blood which some of that blood was on his hands.
