The List of Uchiha
Narrator P.O.V
Half way to Tsunade's Sasuke regained conciseness Kakashi struggled to calm down Sasuke who seemed to be getting wilder every second, in fact, he had tried to assault Kakashi several times not recognizing him, just wildly swinging, and yelping. It pained the mentor to see his student, so lost in the turmoil's of his mind calling out to him was useless. Soon Kakashi unfortunately noticed that Sasuke couldn't see anything he was putting his hands out searching, that he was temporally blind; at least he hoped it was temporary. Sasuke had probably had amnesia as well, because he kept saying who are you, or I don't know you. What got Kakashi the most Sasuke apologizing to no one just randomly staring and just started apologizing. Every few minutes Sasuke would stop and pass out and then have another fit. Finally the reached Tsunade's office that Shikamaru was just leaving out of. He saw Sasuke on Kakashi's shoulder and nodded as Kakashi asked him to wait outside.
"Shikamaru clued me in how is Sasuke doing is he maintaining himself?" Tsunade looked concerned for the small ninja.
"Not well, he has gone into fits and showed signs of severe insanity," Kakashi set him on the ground as Tsunade approached. "I'm afraid I might have triggered this though. I was too pushy with him I should have been gentle, but he's been so aggravating lately. It's no excuse though I should have been more responsible,"
"It doesn't matter right now we need to bring in Naruto as well and examine and arrange all this out," Tsunade said standing to call an anbu to find Naruto. She looked back down at Sasuke who was panting and shaking he might have to go through some major therapy actually she was positive of that.
"I can notify Shikamaru about this he can assist us, and I asked him to wait outside," Kakashi offered desperate to help in any way.
"Fine, but let's try to involve few people as possible," Kakashi nodded and proceeded to inform the young shinobi. The day was bright and the sun shone bright in the blue sky, but storm clouds were forming.
Naruto P.O.V
I hadn't cried one bit since I left Sasuke's I guess because I'm so happy for him, besides it'd be selfish to worry about myself. 'I know I'll go look for the perfect girl and help Sasuke,' I thought grabbing my jacket, 'I got to help Sasuke and make him happy that's all that matters,' I kept saying that all down the hallway and I meant it. 'I saw a girl I knew from the supermarket she was serious and always-studying strategies and stuff Sasuke likes smart people right. Wait he liked me, so does he like stupid people, hey I'm not stupid I'm just not so good at book stuff! Why am I arguing with myself? Oh well I have to find a girl like me then, but where to start? Oh look, Sakura she can help maybe, besides I don't want to stay mad at her.'
"Hi, Sakura-," "What's wrong?" she was crying and looked scared when she saw me.
"Naruto, are you okay?"
"Okay, what do you mean you're the one who crying?"
"Naruto, aren't you and Sasuke you know, broken up or fighting," I freeze how did she know? Did Sasuke tell her, no he wouldn't do that!
"What are you talking about?" I don't know how else to respond so I play it stupid.
"Naruto, you don't have to hide things from me. I'm sorry for what I did can we be friends again, maybe I can help with Sasuke?"
"I am your friend, I don't know what you're talking about though, help?" I suddenly don't know what she's talking about no idea, my minds a blank, that's what I put on my face. Fine if she wants to play, I'll play. I'm sick of everyone bothering me about… him.
Sakura P.O.V
I suddenly get very uneasy when Naruto smiled like that. He wasn't lying I could tell, had I heard wrong? No, I'm certain I heard correctly Kakashi said that they were in some sort of relationship and they broke up or something, that they weren't stable what did that mean anyways? Unstable like crazy, Naruto's crazy, but not that type of crazy.
"Naruto, you and Sasuke were together right?" he looked down confused and fidgeted he turned his head and then slowly nodded shutting his eyes straining to remember. "And you got into a fight?" he paused again then shook his head and said a small, 'no,' "You did break up though?" Naruto looked down one last time and his eyes went empty he looked back up to reply.
"Yeah, we did," he had a small fake smile, no it was real, but it was the sad ones that Naruto used sometimes, I hated it. "I guess it wasn't meant to be eh?" he snapped his fingers suddenly, "That reminds me do know a girl that's like me personality wise?" 'Oh, Naruto…'
"There's no one like you Naruto, and maybe you should let Sasuke find his own girlfriend?"
"Wow, how did you know that's what I was doing?"
"I know you Naruto, and I don't think either you should be looking so soon," he shook his head.
"No, I have to. I have to help Sasuke he needs me to help him. He asked me to help him," Naruto was starting to babble like Sasuke had it made me nervous like he could snap at the slightest thing. I didn't know what to say how to handle him Kakashi was right they weren't stable. "If I don't help Sasuke that would be selfish I could hurt Sasuke and that's bad," he continued and I did nothing, but stare I tried to think how to get away I was afraid I needed help.
"Naruto, Kakashi was worried about you maybe you should find him?" I can try to distract him to get help oh Naruto please be okay.
"I'm busy right now, but okay I guess I'll talk to him later," he winked running off I have to find help. His figure soon got smaller and smaller I stood there scrambling for any idea of what to do next. One name that came to, one that kept back all the way there, Iruka sensei.
Iruka P.O.V
"Sakura calm down I can't understand you," she took a breath from running up to me she had dirt on her face when tripped looking for me. Her crying made it hard to understand.
"Naruto, he's not right he's acting strange and Kakashi said something about him not being right and I don't know what to do," new big tears formed. She was talking way to fast, but Naruto always did that, so I could easily understand.
"What's going on with Naruto, what do you mean unstable?"
"Sasuke and Naruto-,"
"I'll be taken over Sakura both of you follow me," Iruka immediately recognized the anbu as the one who had hit on Sakura, when he was drunk, only a couple days after she stopped being a fan girl, but she was able to put that away for now. "Lady Tsunade wants Naruto as well have either of you seen him?"
"Yes, he was heading toward the park, but I'm not sure is there anything we can do?" he shook his head and told us to report to the hokage tower. I was still baffled I had no suggestion of what was going on, but Naruto was in trouble and I was ready to help save him.
Narrator P.O.V
Naruto had been wondering around the woods, he didn't remember why he had headed in this direction. He was very jumbled up right now he couldn't distinguish up from down. He tired to relax as he normally did when he felt in over his head. No one was aware of it, but Naruto wasn't unstable he was just emotional distraught. Naruto out of anyone was the one in most control of his emotions he had to be a long time ago he discovered if he held things in then his sanity was lost. To be honest right now he was mostly confused he felt not sad, but he wasn't happy. He smiled and his body acted happy, but it was hallow no happiness was in him. His body wouldn't let him dig any deeper either. Similar to how Sasuke rid himself of his emotion he would put it just below the surface and stare them observing the emotions, but never feeling them. Naruto felt like he was holding a shirt it was sad, but he wasn't putting it on just holding it in his hands, feeling the material between his fingers, just not sliding it on over his head.
Naruto had learned to fool people all his life with his emotions, just moments ago he tricked Sakura into thinking he was nuts. He didn't want her bothering him, not right now and she thought he was crazy so he acted crazy. He knew Kakashi probably thought he was going to go off the deep end, so why not let them think that. Give them what they want maybe they'll go away. Naruto wrapped his arms around his knees to bury his face. He didn't care what anyone thought, they could go fuck themselves, Naruto thought and began crying for real letting himself feel the pain it burned. Ripped, ripped in half he couldn't take it, it was all too familiar he felt with his parents, the abuse the villagers put him through, and the bitter loneliness. All the pain and heartbreak was magnified it wouldn't stop he sobbed, so loud the birds in the trees flew away except for a black raven. The raven perched in a tree across from him staring, turning its head watching Naruto. The raven reminded Naruto of a certain boy, which enraged him he got up yelling.
"Go, away you ugly stupid bird," he tried to take off his shoe to throw it at the annoying and haunting creature. "You heard me! Leave me alone, go, shoo!" tears in his eye he finally got his shoe off put fell face forward on the ground, but he didn't get up he started sobbing again curling up into a ball on his side. The raven started cawing, echoing through the forest as if it was calling for the world to know that someone was crying all alone and no one was listing. Again.
