DISCLAIMER: I do not, in any way, own Naruto or the characters in this story! It all(except some of the plot line) belongs to Masashi Kishimoto!

The sun is beautiful...

I only just now realized the beauty my village possessed. The greenery, the clear sky, even when it was cloudy it possessed an unnatural beauty I couldn't comprehend.

The view at sunset was always the best on the Hokage Monument. I suppose that's why I always went up here at the end of the day or when I had a problem;often I would come at the same time for both reasons. Seems all my problems happened at the end of the day.

They just had to ruin it.

"...N-naruto?"It was Sakura...stuttering?

"What, Sakura?" I actually didn't intend to sound so snappy. That happens when you're a bitch to somebody 24/7 though.

"U-um,"She flinched."I just wanted t-to apologize..f-for being rude to you earlier I mean."

"Rude? Earlier?" She cannot be serious. Just rude and just earlier? Psh.

"Y-yeah, I guess that was an understatement...U-um, I guess,then, I'm sorry for being a-awful to you, all the time, a-and thinking you an idiot. B-but!"She flinched when I glared at her."W-what I mean is, I just assumed with how you were in the academy, a-and your grades and such."

"Yeah, well you assumed wrong."I'm being a bastard, aren't I?

She looked down"I'm s-sorry Naruto!" She bowed down and I could see drops falling below to the stone. She was crying.

I sighed"Look, Sakura. I'm sorry I snapped at you. It's just, I'm tired of being completely ignored or if I'm not I'm mistreated. It gets tiring after awhile."

It really does you know. Being scorned, hated, shunned, or all out ignored otherwise.

'Kit...' There's Kyuubi again. 'What now furball?'

'Don't get snippy with me. I just wanted to ask you something. I thought you were going to keep yourself a secret.'

'Yeah, well. I intended that but it became a little to much. Too annoying.'

'Kit..'He sighed. 'Fine, but don't blame me if it gets you into a shit load of trouble.'

'Yeah, yeah, I know. How could I? Your sealed into my freaking stomach.'

'...Good point. Hey, that Sakura girl is trying to get your attention.'

'Shit! Thanks for telling me.' 'Your welcome' He had a total shit eating grin on his face.

"Naruto!" So the fur ball was right.

"What were you saying? I kinda spaced out." I gave my trademark fox like grin and rubbed the back of my head.

She just gave a small smile and looked to the ground. "I just wanted to tell you something..."

…

"Well? Are you gonna say it?"I grinned at her.

"Naruto!" She lightly bopped me on the head while laughing.

"You were asking for it. So, what were you gonna tell me?" She started laughing nervously, rubbing the back of her head and looking away. Is it really that bad?

"Weeelll...Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke-kun are waiting just behind that big rock over there...they were listening in, and...stu..ff.."

Her sentence started trailing off the moment my eyes started narrowing and I bared my teeth.

"Really now?" I asked her.

"Over there!" She squeaked while pointing over at the boulder behind her.

Time to show Sasuke I wont take anymore shit from him. And Kakashi-sensei? Time he started treating us like his students instead of burdens.

I got up and started walking over to the boulder.

"OI! Kaka-sensei, Sas-gay! I know you're there! Come the fuck out!" I probably shouldn't swear...Ha ha, good one, me...

"Oi, where do you get off ordering me around, dobe? You can't tell me what to do, I'm an Uchiha!"He sneered and glared at me at the same time.

"Sasuke, you shouldn't use your name like that. It's disrespectful to your clan name. But he's right Naruto, you shouldn't talk to him like that. He's your team mate and your equal, you can't order him around. Also, I'm your teacher Naruto, therefore, your superior. You can't talk to me like that."He glared at me and for once didn't have his book out. Is that what he really thinks?

"Is that what you think, Kaka-sensei? That I should obey your rules, and follow everything you do? That you're my superior? Then why don't you act like it, huh? Why don't you stop treating me and Sakura like we're dead weight and start teaching us so we're not! We have just as much right to your teachings as Sasuke does...But you choose to only teach him because of his bloodline, because you see yourself in him. What would Obito think, hmm, Kakashi-sensei! You're only guaranteeing that Sasuke will make the same mistake that you did if you keep this up. I know what happened to Obito Sensei...So don't say I don't know anything." That was possibly one of the longest rants I've ever given...Huh.

Sasuke looked just as shocked as Kakashi. He must have told him. Figures that he would tell him and not us.

"And really, Sasuke...what the hell? Why do you insist on being arrogant, and stubborn, and cold, and just an all out jackass in general? I know, everybody knows, about what happened to your family...but that doesn't mean you should be pitied and given everything on a silver platter for over four(1) years because of it. There are so many orphans in Konoha who deserve pity so much more than you, and even more who don't want it, yet you accept it with open arms. You should accept help from others, but not expect it. Not with the way you act. Despite popular belief, there are people who, well, just don't give a shit about what happens to you, however small that number of people may be. So, start pulling your own weight on this team and teat us like your team mates rather than your servants." He didn't say anything, although he did look away with a thoughtful, although angry, look on his face.

"U-um, Naruto?" Sakura tapped my shoulder. "It's really dark out you know. Shouldn't we go home and get some r-rest? Otherwise we won't be able to get up in time for training tomorrow."

I looked up, and lo and behold, it was pitch black out, only the occasional star lighting up the night sky.

"Huh..you have a point there. Well, I'll see you later Sakura!" And with that I jumped away, already half way down the mountain by the time Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei realized what had happened.

Hehe, I'm awesome, aren't I?

A/N: Whooooo! I got this done in 3 hours! Thats short for me! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

*Ahem * Sorry 'bout that. I'm really excited. :3 SO, I got this new program(OpenOffice, it's awesome! On FFN's home page they've got the download, go get it!) that has spell check! So, hopefully, it will be better than last time.

(1). I don't know the exact number of years it's been, I just guessed.
