(Location: Konoha, Specific Location: Konoha's Bridge, Time: 11:00 AM)

And Once again the members of teams seven have been waiting at least another few hours for their sensei. Despite the fact that he's the one that told them to come precisely on time every 08:00 AM. It's like he loves to waste their valuable time on stupid things like this.

And as always the members of team seven had nothing to do but wait for their long awaited sensei to come.

"I'm tired of this! Why can't Kakashi-Sensei come here for once on time Instead of having us wait till we drop!" Moaned, a thirteen year old teen, with blond spiky hair, cerulean blue eyes, tanned skin, three whisker like marks on each side of his cheek, wearing blue ninja shoes, a leaf headband, and oversized orange coat with a bit of blue with orange long pants with also a bit of blue

"QUIET NARUTO-BAKA! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M WITH SASUKE-KUN AT THE MOMENT?!" Screamed an angry pink thirteen year old neat short haired Kuniochi, wearing a red T-Shirt Kimono going all the way down to her hips, with the front and back going extra-long down to her knees, with fair skin, Jade Green eyes, a blue headband on her head like a ribbon, and dark green bicycle shorts with blue ninja shoes

"You both are too loud! Keep It down! Kakashi-Sensei will be here soon… I guess!" Guessed an annoyed thirteen year old teen with black dark eyes, blue T-Shirt with a large round collar which went up to his chin, white shorts, blue ninjas shoes, large white arm bands with a little bit of blue In each end (Don't know what they are called, sorry), wearing a Konoha headband on his forehead, wearing blue ninjas shoes and has fair skin, and short duck ass black hair

Their names were the members Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha. Together these three were known as the Genin team, team 7, with their late lazy ass Sensei, Kakashi Hatake.

They were waiting at the bridge for him, and of course as usual, he's late, despite the fact that he told them to come early.

"EHHHHHH! I can't stand It anymore! He always does this! Why can't he Just come here on time for once?!" Asked a frustrated Blond Jinchuriki, as he held his head In frustration

"Oh please BAKA! If you can't stand It why do you continue being a ninja?! Just leave so people will be happy!" Replied the pink haired gennin, as both of her teammates went wild-eyed, but Naruto however was saddened by the Insult

"Sakura, that wasn't nice what you said to Naruto!" Sasuke Objected, his voice filled with Stern

"Sasuke-Kun. You're soooooooooooo cool when you're stern." Sakura giggled, fan girl like

"At least listen to what I'm saying here. Naruto's a good ninja Sakura." Sasuke Said, backing up Naruto

"Don't worry Sasuke-Kun. You're an even better ninja than that Baka, Sasuke-Kun. It's better he quits now because he's Just a waste of time and life. I mean, remember Gaara, Haku, and all the other times you were In trouble because of him? He's almost got you killed dozens of times." Sakura Reminded, which made Naruto's heart crack like glass

"But Sakura-Chan! I saved Teme those times! He risked his life to save me from Haku, and I saved his ass after he went off to fight Gaara, that Includes all the other times I saved him!" Naruto Objected, his voice filled with Sadness

"I hate to admit It Sakura, but Naruto's right. I saved his life during Haku's fight and he saved mine during Gaara's fight, same thing with all those other times. If It weren't for him I would've died, or been killed by them." Sasuke Supported, but It all seemed like nothing was having an effect on Sakura

"NO HE'S NOT! LISTEN BAKA! I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IRUKA-SENSEI LET YOU GRADUATE BACK AT THE ACADEMY! SO YOU SAVED HIS LIFE FROM MIZUKI-SENSEI! SO WHAT! THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYONE LOVES YOU! JUST LOOK HOW MANY PEOPLE HATE YOU?! I MEAN THE WHOLE VILLAGE HATES YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE A COMPLETE IDIOT! YOU'RE WORTHLESS! WORTHELESS AS A…. A… DEMON!" Sakura Screamed at the top of her lungs at Naruto, who was Just stunned and sad from her Insult, "I WISH YOU DIED A LONG TIME AGO INSTEAD! HECK IF YOU'RE PARENTS JUST GAVE YOU UP THEY WOULDN'T HAVE DIED! THEY WOULD'VE-!" Sakura was cut off by Sasuke

"NOW THAT'S JUST ABOUT ENOUGH SAKURA! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND NARUTO! NOT LIKE I DO! HE'S NEVER HAD PARENTS! I UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO NOT HAVE ANY!" Sasuke Shouted at the shocked Sakura

"Wha-What?" Asked a Shocked Sakura

"You don't understand It but I do! Not having anyone to love at home! No one to cuddle you when you cry, love you, or take care of you! You don't understand the pain! Neither do I! I had parents at the beginning! But Naruto never did! His pain Is a lot worse than mine!" Sasuke Growled at Sakura

"Just leave It Sasuke…. She's right. I am worthless… I am nothing to this village but a burden. Just look, everyone hates me, disrespects me, and always wants to kill me. If I was stronger I could earn their trust." With that Said, Naruto looked down on the ground In Sadness

"Good. I'm always right Baka. Now you're starting to understand what I'm saying." Sakura Smirked, but couldn't help but feel the amount of guilt filling Inside of her stomach.

"Not that I am used to all the threats, the Insult, and the people abuse. It's nothing different from what you Just did to me. The only difference Is….. you're the one I mostly care about." By that stage, Sakura had finally realized what she had said to Naruto.

It didn't take long till all the guilt In her stomach managed to cover her whole body, as she had begun to feel all the grief she had Just caused Naruto, "Naruto…. I'm….. I'm so-." Sakura was cut off by Kakashi, who had Just came by to see the team

Kakashi had white spiky hair going up, one good left eye, wearing a Jounin uniform with black ninja shoes.

"Hello everyone. Sorry I was late. I was on my way here. But a black cat was crossing an old woman's path, so I had to save her from bad luck." Kakashi Eyes Smiled them, then lost It when he saw tension In his team, "What's going one here?" Kakashi Asked, his eye turning lazy

"Nothing much Kakashi-Sensei, Just a weakling that's all." Naruto Replied, In his down voice, filled with sorrow

"Strange? He's usually excited and shout out that I lied. But It seems like he's not the only one." Kakashi Thought, as he turned his eye towards Sakura, who was looking at Naruto with sorry eyes, "Well, I'm Just here to tell you we have to report our progress to the council tomorrow, that's all." Kakashi Informed

"Well that's great. I'll Just go home now and wait till then. Like anyone cares." With that Said, Naruto walked back home towards his apartment

"Could anyone tell me what's going on?" Kakashi Asked, all confused about the situation

"Ask Sakura Kakashi-Sensei, she Is the one that caused this to Naruto. Now If you excuse me I have to go see him to see If he's okay." Sasuke Informed, as he began to run towards Naruto's apartment

"You do that while I take some care of things here." Kakashi Said, as he eyed down on Sakura, who's face was filled with guilt

"What?" Sakura, Asked, her voice filled with guilt

""Those who goes against the rules are scum, but those who goes against their friends, are worse than scum" Didn't you learn anything from that experience Sakura?" Kakashi, Asked, his voice lazy

"I know, but If Naruto stops trying to be so…. I don't know, loud, and annoying, then probably, and maybe people will accept him." Sakura Said, as she was trying to be honest with Kakashi

"You know Sakura. I wish sometimes you would use that brain of yours and see what's really behind Naruto. Loud, I'll admit he Is sometimes, now and there again, but annoying, you don't understand Sakura that some people rather wear masks that fools others. You're supposed to see through that by now and understand that, there are people who don't really want others to know." Kakashi Explained, his voice was filled with stern milk

"What do you mean Kakashi-Sensei?" Sakura Asked, Confused on what Kakashi meant

"That Is for Naruto to tell you or the Hokage herself, If not find out by using that brain of yours. On the meantime, please consider of what I Just told you, the more you notice Naruto's true colours the more you understand him Sakura." Kakashi Replied

With that Said, Kakashi left In a swirl of leaves, leaving a guilty Sakura behind.

"Naruto… I'm so sorry for what I've said to you." With that Thought Thought, Sakura left the bridge with a few tears In her eyes

(Location: Naruto's Apartment)

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

"Come On Naruto! Open this door! I know you're In there!" Called, an worried Sasuke, "Just open the door so we could talk!" Sasuke Called again, yet the only reply from Naruto he got was

"Go away Sasuke! I'm not Interested!" Sasuke Could hear Naruto cries and sobbing

"Alright. Just don't say It was my fault for this okay." Sasuke Whispered, as he took a fighting stance and kicked the door opened

BASH!

"Now can we talk?" Asked Sasuke, as he smirked In achievement

"…." Naruto Said nothing In response, as he was busy lying on his bed, tears of sadness which had effected him terribly because of Sakura's words

Sasuke Sighed, then got serious, and Asked Naruto "I know Naruto what Sakura had done. But forget her, there are plenty of girls all around Konoha you know?"

"Yeah. But I can't Sasuke, she means too much to me. She's Just too Important to me to let go. I Just can't do that." Naruto Replied, In a depressing tone, "I Just wish she would recognize me Instead of seeing me as an Idiot." Naruto Wished, Sasuke Sighed, as he took a seat next to Naruto on his bed
