CH 2
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto nor do I own the music describing or even used by Nick Lachey on what's left of Me. I own this Story, no one else, or anything related to this.
Naruto didn't care whether that person was going to kill him, insult him, or hand out death threats to him. The Blond just remained calm and sang a song that struck the minds, hearts, and feelings of the blond. Though he didn't know who it was, it just felt calm or worry that has brought him up to that point.
Watch my life, pass me by,
In the rearview mirror
Pictures frozen in time,
Are becoming clearer
I don't want to waste another day
Stuck in the middle of my mistakes..
Yeah….
Cause I want you,
And I feel you,
Driving underneath my skin
Like a hunger,
Like a burner,
To find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken
And I'm faded,
I'm half the man you thought I would be:
But you can have what's left of me…
The kunoichi who came in rather unexpected and hiding beneath the bushes didn't know that such a pure and sad voice was giving them a lot of attention. Indeed, they were in trance as they continue hearing the blond's voice…and message.
I've been dying inside,
Little by little
Nowhere to go going out of my mind
In endless circles,
Running from myself until,
You gave me a reason for standing still
And I want you,
And I feel you,
Driving underneath my skin
Like hunger,
Like a burning,
To find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken,
And I'm faded,
I'm half the man I thought I would be:
But you can have, what's left of me
Falling Faster,
Barely Breathing,
Give me something,
To believe in
Tell me: It's not all in my head
The Kunoichi consisting of Sakura, Anko, Kurenai, Ino, Temari, and Tenten could feel a surge of sadness and so much emotion coming from the blond. Never in their lives have they seen the hyperactive blond show so much emotion. It's like he waiting for someone to end his life as of now this very moment. The girls saw Naruto get up and got handful of water and splash it in his head as he closes his eyes and continues to sing.
Take what's left
Of this man
Make me whole
Once again
Cause I want you,
And I feel you,
Driving underneath my skin
Like hunger,
Like a burning,
To find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken,
And I'm faded,
I'm half the man I thought I would be:
But you can have… all that's left Yeah, yeah
Yeah…
What's left of me…
Naruto knew how he didn't like the last part of the song, but he didn't care. As a kyuubi container he was nothing more than dirt, he didn't exist to anyone. Just a shinobi, waiting for his time to die, remembered by no one, no one but the Kyuubi in mind and soul.
I've been dying inside you see
I'm going out of my mind
Out of my mind
I'm just running in circles all the time
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left of me?
Running in circles all the time
will you take what's left
will you take what's left
will you take what's left of me...
The blond ended his song as tears began to stream down his face. As soon as he got up he looked around to his left and revealed the peeping toms.
"Alright you six, come out now. I've know you've been hiding there for almost ten minutes now."
The six knew were here judging by his keen sense of chakra presence. They had no choice but to reveal themselves to naruto.
As soon as they came out Naruto was in shock, time stood slow as he realized he saw the hottest Kunoichi in Konoha and one of the best coming out of their hiding place. Yet, the one person who was there was the girl who, unintentionally hurt his feeling and even broke him apart leaving him.
Sakura Haruno stood there sad, just staring at him. She was wondering when and where the blond was to spend his time alone, whenever free time was around for the past three years. Now she stood, looking at the emotional state he was in. Cold emotionless eyes, a strong physique, and long blond hair almost covering his eyes with no sense to live, nor the bother caring to live just as She was about to speak.
"Naruto I….
"NO STAY AWAY FROM ME, I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN. I CAN'T I WANT TO BE ALONE WHERE NO ON CAN HURT ME!!! DON'T PLEASE I BEG OF YOU DON'T!!!!!!!"
Naruto got his thing near the forest and ran off leaving Anko, Kurenai,Tenten, Temari, and Ino all shocked and saddened at the sudden departure of the blond.
Feeling angry Ino went up to her and slapped her across the face. Sakura didn't even care as she had her hand over cheek.
"Forehead girl what did you do now?!" Ino asked.
"I…I just wanted to apologize to him after what happened three years ago."
"You bitch you think a simple apology will only heal him and make him feel all warm inside. Well it's not nothing you or anyone else including us can do about it."
"You maybe right but I clearly hope that we can hope for the better of Naruto."
"Hold on Kurenai, I think we should do something better for him and I know just the thing."
"Like what, seducing him and making him your pet." Temari smirked
"Did you say something Sand bitch?!"
"Not like you even cared for the blond after what's he going through as of now."
"Enough, knowing how powerful and handsome Naruto is, we can always do some "research" on him." Tenten said
"Ooohhh cheating on Neji, interesting I never thought you were such a whore."
"I'm not, that hyuuga bastard never did take the time to admire my beauty."
"I say we should just continue our plans to making this place only for Kunoichi to hang out AND watch the gaki from afar."
A new voice came out of the woods, Shizune and Tsunade appeared right before the six with a smile on her face after listening to the girl's discussion for ten minutes.
"Tsunade-sama what do you mean?" asked Ino
"I said we should continue on making this place for Kunoichi, but make it look like Naruto's comfort area is still his while we watch on what kind of activities he's doing."
"Not a bad idea, Tsunade-sama but what about Sakura, we should try to sort this whole affair and have her fill us in on his sudden change in attitude." Anko said, turning her eyes on the pink haired-Kunoichi. Everyone here was waiting for Sakura to speak till she sat on the ledge of the lake and started explaining her story on how he became as of now.
"Well it all started right after I yelled at Naruto…
Flashback………..
"I guess you really do hate me after all Sakura, Gomen…
Just as Kakashi appeared Naruto ran off as fast as he can anywhere leaving a confused sensei and Uchiha shocked at all this.
"Sakura what did you do now." Kakashi said lazly.
"That dobe hit Sasuke-kun after he just said teme to him."
"Is that the only reason why you said that to him."
"No… I he was late and I had to yell at him for his lateness."
"That doesn't give you the right to yell at him or get mad at him for no apparent reason."
"Hn."
"And you Sasuke, didn't I tell you to quit your insults on Naruto."
"That dobe will be fine, he'll come back all happy and proud being the dead last that he is."
"Sigh it looks like both of you don't understand what Naruto has been throughout all his life. Anyway, as for you two we'll be going through training throughout the entire day making both of you working to the bone."
Sakura and Sasuke were both shocked by this, on the other hand Sakura realized what she said and has deeply regretted what she's said. Her last thoughts were blinded by how stupid she could've been if she had not been any rude to her blond teammate.
Kakashi knowing how his punishment was going to be felt bad for never being at his side to defend him. He's never felt that way since Obito died and saved his life that day nor his sensei gave up his life to seal the Kyuubi.
'Obito, sensei, I'm sorry I wish I could've understand a lot more on both of you including your son sensei.'
Kakashi felt that things should become better after tomorrow. Unfortunately it didn't…
For the past three days Naruto didn't show up with Team seven on any mission even if it's only an occasional meet in the village. Then one day Kakashi and the rest of his team consisting of Sasuke and Sakura walked in on a conversation between Tsunade and Naruto.
"Ahhh Kakashi, we were just talking about your team. As of today Naruto will be going solo on every mission I have available and is already resigned from team seven."
Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura were shocked but only Sakura was sad as she stared at the cold emotionless eyes he was giving out to his teammates. Kakashi however, tried to defend his team and Naruto and get him back on his team.
"Tsunade-sama with all due respect, I want to train Naruto and become a strong shinobi but..
"Kakashi all you've been doing is training the Uchiha with his Sharingan and Sakura with her Chakra manipulation, but what've you taught Naruto? None, I heard the reports that you even taught the Uchiha your signature technique the chidori!"
at that point the copy ninja felt guilty, he didn't want to deny it but it was true. He neglected training him but he felt that at the time, Sasuke was important than Naruto.
Naruto began to leave but before he left exited the office he had this to say.
"Everyone, you won't see the mask anymore now. What's left of that mask is the real me I've kept for so long ever since I was born." He left… leaving his team shattered for the next three years especially Sakura. As of that day, she cried everyday, she wanted to see the blond again but now she hasn't seen him for almost three years even as he always see him walk in the village everyday. She tried to communicate with him but always ended up talking to a replacement, or a bunshin.
End of flashback…………
"Interesting story, well there's gotta be some way to help him or even take the chance to comfort him. He's been alone ever since he was born the least we can do is comfort him."
"Good point Ino, but Like Tsunade-sama said we'll continue our plans but we'll watch Naruto from afar."
"Now that that's settled let's continue our plans so that we can have this place all to the ourselves and to all Kunoichi who wishes to get away from the village."
So the girls moved on making every aspect of the area and perimeter of the lake as much precise as possible. Knowing how the scenery of the place must remain natural, Tsunade knew that it's only a matter of time before she can get Naruto to succumb to her grasp.
'I maybe falling for a brat but the kid need a lot of attention. In fact a lot more than just attention, more of "IT" than to keep him happy, heh I'm starting to think like that perverted bastard already."
Back to Naruto….
He returned to his room where all his equipment, supplies, clothing was lying down scattered across the floor. He didn't feel like eating since he hasn't felt the need to keep on getting fat. What started out as a fine day for him turns out to be a painful reminder of pain and reject coming from seeing the Pink haired Kunoichi.
'why does my life have to get so complicated, why…
"Kit you have me and I will may not show it but you have me to guide you ok."
"your only saying that so that you can make fun of my weakness and my pain."
"I maybe the immortal Ninetailed fox but I do have some compassion for the one being that is containing me, and that however is you kit."
"Thanks for being there for me fox."
"Just stay alive a bit longer for our sakes as well."
Naruto undressed leaving him only in his boxers, though it was only one hour till sunset, the blond had a knack for sleeping a lot longer than expected years ago. Although last year was real quiet for the moment, Naruto was remembered his own place where he goes for comfort now discovered by his sensei's a crazy snake bitch, and his fellow teammates….
From the rooftop you can hear two people talking about a certain blond. Though three years changes a lot a Genjutsu mistress and a special Jounin talk about what the Hokage meant by "IT"
"I really want him, I really do we can always educate him on how to serve us quite well."
"Anko that's too much and to think I came with you only to have you talk about you fantasies about him."
"No worries, I can share him with the rest of you including the Hokage."
"I can't believe you talk me into this, but let's head back it's too early."
What Naruto thought he couldn't be in heaven just by being at his own place for security, was only half of what he was expected to receive but in the next few days he was going to receive the full entrance to heaven including a heat of passion.
Author's Note: I may leave alot out but most will be explained in the near future chapters. Go ahead and review, alot will be explain if you understand. Only four or five chapters will be the max. A mental bashing will occur if I feel like it.
