"Ok class is over you can go now"

The Academy instructor spoke these words with a cheer of celebration children began shouting and talking as they wrestled their way out of the classroom. I went over to the instructor he looked at me the same as the others

"Oh sensei do you have anything to say to me!"

Today would be different I thought, today it'll finally happen. He looked at me and then spoke

"Yeah for once try and pay attention in class honestly if you're not going to listen then don't come at all"

"Oh…yeah sure"

I went outside; I saw them all the adults spoke to their children

"Wow son you completed the test with no mistakes!"

"I'm so proud of you my special guy"

"C'mon show me again show me the jutsu"

"Hey everybody my daughter got the best marks drinks are on me!"

I watched as they laughed and hugged and the other kids smiled and I could only think one thing I hated them…

One girl looked at me and then she spoke to her mum

"Where's that kids mummy mummy?"

"Quiet Rika don't even acknowledge that boy"

"Oh ok"

I watched as they all left one by one until I was left…why am I left out? its not fair…

I had ordered a package which was left at my doorstep I just picked it up and walked in

"Hey mum hey dad sorry I'm late guess what the teacher said I was the best"

I opened up the package

"A cake wow thanks guys lets eat"

Slowly I lit the candles but I couldn't stop it tears started coming down my eyes as I sang

"…Happy…Birthday ..to me…Happy…Birthday …tome… Happy Birthday…dear…Naruto….Happy Birthday…to…..me"

I wiped my eyes and blew hard on a tissue as I spoke to myself

"now I'm not sure theirs enough cake for everyone but help yourselves"

Present

On that day my fifth birthday I had wanted to kill them, I wanted to kill them all, the way they looked at like I was a disease like they hated me for just being alive. I wanted to make them all suffer but more than that I just wanted someone to say… well done Naruto. And then it got better, Sakura and Sasuke, Kakashi sensei, Gaara, shikimaru, Hinata, everyone…they accepted me

Madarra was dead, but his dimension remained I was stuck here, forever, but then I saw a light, the cycle of hate was broken it was over. So I guess that's no such a bad way to go but then I heard a voice

"giving up already I thought you were stronger than that"

"who's there?"

"ha wouldn't you like to know at any rate you're not due here yet"

"what?"

"bye"

"Where am I?

Oh...I guess I'm dead...

I'm falling…falling into darkness…..

What's that? A light? Whose their?

Naruto….NARUTO!

Sakura?

Naruto come back…..please….come back to me COME BACK!

Naruto woke up to find himself lying next to Sakura who was healing him "I'm alive?"
