Chapter 5

Ten minutes more of walking we were home. I was dreading going back into the village. Tomorrow was my birthday and that was the time I felt hated the most. I was going to turn thirteen tomorrow, but I didn't feel like I accomplished anything in my thirteen years. I wasn't ready to come home from the mission. I wish I could come back the next day so nothing bad would happen to me. I had a feeling that I would though.

I was just glad that Sasuke and Sakura didn't know that it was my birthday tomorrow. I never had told them when my birthday was and quite honestly they didn't need to know. I think out of the whole group Kakashi knew that I was turning thirteen. Most of the village elders knew when my birthday was.

"So Naruto, do you want to tell Sasuke and Sakura what tomorrow is," I heard Kakashi say. It was like he had read my mind just now. I glared at him and he smiled. He also laughed at the look that I was giving him. I want to kill him right now.

I sighed because I knew this was going to eventually come up. I wanted to punch Kakashi-sensei in the face. "What's going on tomorrow?"

"Well…" I didn't really want to finish the statement.

"Go on," Sasuke said.

"Tomorrow is my birthday."

Sakura had a wide smile grow on her face. I wondered in my head what she was planning. The both of them were annoyed that I didn't tell them sooner. I was glaring at Kakashi even more. He was just laughing.

"We should totally have party for you!" Sakura exclaimed. That was something I really didn't she want. I don't like to be spoiled by others. I never was when I was little. Now I still felt like that. I was silent, but she tried to get me to respond. "Come on it will be a lot of fun. We will invite everyone that cares about you. Please?"

"Yeah, it will be your first party ever. You should have fun on your birthday," Sasuke agreed.

"I don't want one. There is no point," I told them. They wouldn't take no for an answer. I reluctantly agreed to have a party so they would get off my back. Sakura grabbed Sasuke's hand as they ran to her house. I guess to plan the party, but I wasn't as excited as they expected me to be. I really wasn't up for a party.

"I'm sorry, but at least you are going to experience something fun this year," Kakashi said. I didn't really have much to say so I walked away. I went back to my house and went into the kitchen. I was getting really hungry. I made an instant cup of ramen. I went into my room to just think.

I pulled up my sleeves and stared at the cuts on my arms. They were just a reminder of why I hated myself. I got the kunai knife out of my bag and slit my wrist. I watched as the blood ran to the floor. I was just glad that I didn't have any carpets. It would be easy to clean the blood off. Still I was wondering in my mind who they were going to invite to the party. It's not like I had that many friends. Sure, I met a people that I could talk to. I didn't want anyone that hated me to be there. I knew a lot of them wouldn't come because they didn't like me. It was the worst time of year for me since I would only see hate and anger in the eyes of the people in the village.

I took the blade again and slit my wrist. Watching the blood pour out made me feel a little bit better. The feeling that cutting gave me was actually a good feeling. I was falling asleep with the thoughts of pretending to be happy for tomorrow.

The next morning I hopped in the shower to get ready for the party and all the looks of hate that were going to come towards me. I was so used to it that I stopped crying years ago. I know that other people would just give a disgusted look, but I honestly could care less about them. I wondered why the people in the village wouldn't just forgive me. I was not the nine tailed fox that attacked the village thirteen years ago.

They had to realize that the person that put the beast inside of me died because of it. He was the one that saved the village by putting it into my body, but I still didn't get why I was the chosen one. It made no sense to me.

When I was dressed I walked out of the house and locked my door. It was kind of warm for the day. People were giving me dirty looks. I wanted to just go into the house and lock myself in. Every time I walked a step away from my house people would glare at me. I guess they thought that I was going to be a threat, but I honestly wasn't. I was just going to a party that Sakura and Sasuke were throwing me.

I could feel things hitting me. I knew that people were throwing things at me as I walked. I felt something sharp enter my arm. I pulled a kunai knife from my shoulder. I didn't really care because the pain felt good. I just threw the knife to the ground.

I got to Sakura's house and stepped through the door. The house was dark and when the lights came on everyone said surprise. It's not like I was that surprised. I knew that the party was going to happen, but I did appreciate the effort. I just smiled at them to show my fake happiness.

"We have a present for you. Close your eyes," Sakura said and grabbed my hand. She walked me in front of something. "You can open your eyes now!"

When I opened my eyes Amaya was sitting in front of me. I couldn't help but smile. I sat down next to her and pulled her into my lap. "I'm glad you could come."

"I wanted to. I'm carrying your baby," she said with a tiny laugh. Everyone in the room, but Sakura and Sasuke looked at me in surprise. I guess they didn't know she was pregnant. I was only helping her out of her village. She really appreciated what I was doing for her. I looked around the room to see Shikamaru, Hinata, Ino, Kiba, Shino, Kakashi, Gaara, and his siblings had all come to my party. When the baby was mentioned Hinata looked upset. I wondered why. Maybe she had a crush on me, but I wasn't sure.

"You are really going to be a dad," Shikamaru asked me.

"Yes, I'm going to be a dad," I said quietly.

"Are you dating her," Kiba asked.

"No, we are just friends. I'm helping her out," I looked at Amaya. She met my eyes, but she smiled sadly. I was wondering what was going through her mind.

"He's helping me for the sake of my village," she responded before any of them could ask any more questions. We decided that it was time open the presents. I tried to get Amaya to talk to me, but she said she would talk to me later.

Gaara wanted me to open his present first. He handed me the box that it was wrapped in. When I opened it…it was a kunai knife. I looked at the blade in a loving way. It was so shiny…

I asked if I could be excused because I could feel a throbbing pain in my shoulder. It was getting worse I could tell, but I wasn't letting them know that I was in pain….
