Long time no see everyone. Sorry ch3 was delayed a bit. Thanks to everyone who's reviewed so far and gave me some input. Ch4 is already about half done and will be my xmas present to all the fans of this story. I forgot to do this earlier but here's a Spoiler Warning. If you haven't been reading the latest manga, some of this may be new.
Quick Disclaimer:
I don't own Green Day, any of their work, or Masashi Kishimoto's work like Naruto.

Now, on with the show…
A Pet Left in the Rain
The young hero of the Left Village was fast asleep on the lone bench atop the stone mountain face of his newly discovered father but he was far from sleeping sound. Over the last few nights, Naruto has been plagued by a recurring nightmare and unfortunately for this young Jinchuriki, this night was going to be no different…
(Naruto's Dream)
It's dark. A young boy is running through the streets of the Hidden Leaf, a crowd of people lining each side.
"Monster…Demon…just die…"
Clouds begin to cover the sky as the audible whispers of hate rise from the crowd. The further the boy ran the narrower the street becomes and the whispers got louder…
"Naruto…"
The boy stops, quickly turning to see his teammate and old friend, Sakura, but…something…isn't right.
"Why didn't you save Sasuke? You promised me…but you failed…you lied to me…"
The words felt like knifes in his chest, and the boy let tears form in his eyes just as the sky started to pour. Naruto ran again, trying to escape those haunting words but it was only the beginning. Next was Gaara.
"Naruto Uzumaki…you weren't strong enough to save me…I thought you understood me…why did you let me die…Lady Chiyo had to die to save me…why not you…?"
Naruto kept running even though he knew full well how the dream would play out. The rain started coming down harder as well.
"Brother…" It was Konahamaru. "Why'd you let my uncle die…he died protecting you…I thought we were brothers…rivals…but you just let uncle Asuma die to save yourself…"
Even though all these words scarred him deeply, Naruto wasn't sure he could handle the next two, not again.
"You worthless baka…"
He already knew who it was, Tsunade. She was crying over Jiraya's body.
"You couldn't even help your master…your godfather…you couldn't even avenge him! How could you let your father's mentor die? He must be so ashamed…you truly are worthless…"
Every word cut him deep, and he fell apart. He was unsure why, but the next one felt as if someone were pouring salt into every cut while it felt as if his heart was being torn out. Last was Neji…
"Naruto-san…you really are a monster…no…you're even worse than the monster you hold…you just let Pain beat Hinata-sama to the brink of death…you used her feelings to save your own ass…you never even acknowledged her…if Sakura wasn't there she would be dead right now…all because you were too weak…and after all Hinata-sama did for you, you just ran off…you didn't even see if she was alright…Hinata-sama should have just let Pain kill you…"
Neji's words tore a hole through his soul. The young Naruto tries to run away from all of it, but he trips and falls into the cold mud. The scared little boy just lies there, curled into a ball, shivering as the rain pours down. The four figures that plagued him now surrounded Naruto. They started repeating what they previously said. Little Naruto clenched his hands over his ears, to no avail. The cold, hurting, little boy just cried, knowing the torture in his mind would continue til sun up…
But this time, something was different. Even though it was still raining, he no longer felt cold. It felt as if warmth was surrounding him protectively, but what shocked him awake was what he heard.
(end of dream)
"Naruto-kun…"
