Hello everyone!

Chapter Seven! That's crazy, I didn't think I would be motivated to write this much for such a small following, but I'm enjoying it, so whatever.

There is also a slight difference between the original Naruto and this one, which has to do with an eye; I'll explain more about it at the end..

Oh and to themast3rmind.m15, I agree that Naruto definitely needs someone so don't worry, it'll come soon . . . I hope.

and with that I can say I don't own Naruto


AN EYE FOR AN EYE

On one Tuesday night, around seven weeks into the second school year, Naruto was walking to his favorite place with Haruto on his head, the ramen stand!

"You know Haruto, we still don't know the name of the ramen stand, it has kanji on it so I can't read it" Naruto told Haruto as the walked.

Haruto let out a small whimper in confusion.

"Yeah we call it the ramen stand but it obviously has a name, I wonder what it is" Naruto said as he looked up at the sky full of stars

Haruro yawned and laid his head down on Naruto's head.

Then there was a sound of a twig snapping, Naruto and Haruto's senses heightened and they played close attention to every factor.

"A small sound of breathing, some shuffling, and a metal glare coming from the alley, this isn't good" Naruto thought to himself.

He took Haruto from his head and held him close to his mouth.

"When I put you down, go look for help, I don't think I can get out of this one" Naruto whispered to Haruto.

Haruto licked Naruto's cheek as a response.

Naruto then held Haruto close and when he heard the first step he let go of Haruto and they started running.

Ahead of them was a fork in the road.

"Get ready Haruto, you take the left and I go right" Naruto said only loud enough for Haruto to hear.

As they got to the separation they did as planned and they separated.

Naruto kept on running, looking for a way to escape but all seemed no good.

"What would Shikamaru do? What would he do??" Naruto thought as he tried going into the thought process of Shikamaru.

"He would analyze his surroundings, there are shops here, they don't have much space between them and some are connected, there isn't a place to grab either, next he would analyze his opponent but since I have many I can't bunch them up in one group" Naruto thought as he looked at his surroundings. He then looked back at the villagers and saw 3 groups: the athletic group, the heavy group, and the thin group, all of which are powered by hatred.

As he kept looking he saw the same red aura that Mebuki had, the hatred of the villagers had come to life once again.

The hatred attacked Naruto, engulfing him which made him slow down. Just when the villagers were about to get Naruto, a red chakra started to form on Naruto, it gave him power and he used it to jump on top of a building, and just like that it went away.

Naruto calmed his breathing and gave a sigh of relief, "thank God I managed to escape" Naruto said with a smile.

"Thank God I finally get to do this" a voice said from behind.

Naruto was then kicked off of the rooftop

Naruto was too slow to react and he fell off the building, on his way down he saw a person with a snake mask and gray Shinobi wear glaring down at him.

"Damn snake" Naruto thought while falling.

While Naruto was running for his life, Haruto was also running in order to protect him.

Haruto ran and ran looking for a person, trying to find a scent of a person who could help. He just couldn't find anybody.

After a minute of running, he found a scent, a familiar scent that was on one of Naruto's clothes.

He looked around and saw him, the outline of a slim man, his hair shimmered in the light, his gray shinobi clothes shining in the glimmering light of the moon, a mask on his hip, on it was a weasel.

Haruto however hesitated, this man who seemed almost angelic in the moment had an overpowering scent of blood.

In his eyes was sorrow, pain, regret, and self hatred.

Haruto felt these feelings from him, he knew that this man who looked like a murderer was a good man.

Haruto went to the supposed ANBU member and tugged on his pants.

The man looked down at the pup and recognized it, after all he had secretly been looking over Naruto.

"A pup? No, a kit? This is Naruto's friend . . . Shit!"

The man decided to follow the pup.

As they ran, Haruto was leading the way, following Naruto's scent.

As they grew closer, Haruto picked up the scent of blood, and it wasn't coming from the man behind him.

Haruto started to rush even faster, the ANBU behind him seeing decided to pick up Haruto and carry him.

As they grew closer, the man's nose picked up the scent so he went at his fastest, hoping that Naruto would still be alive.

As they arrived at an alley they saw a bloody Naruto slouched over

As the man went to Naruto he quickly checked his pulse, it was weak but there. He then looked over his injuries and there were a lot of cuts on him. He then lifted his head and what he saw shocked him, Naruto was missing his right eye.

Haruto started to cry, his squeaks making the dogs in the area to bark.

The man, being a top ninja in the village, started to heal Naruto's injuries, he was lost in what to do about the eye however.

He then realized something, "Naruto could use this better than I ever can, it comes with a cost for me but it's a small price to pay compared to what Naruto will do" The man said, speaking for the first time revealing a soothing and calm voice hinted with worry and sadness.

He then reached into his pocket and brought out a jar, in it was a dark green eye radiating with power deep inside it.

The man implanted the eye to Naruto's eye socket where his light blue eye once used to be.

"Come on" the man said to Haruto as he grabbed Naruto.

When Naruto woke up 3 days later, he was lost and confused. As his vision cleared he saw the familiar floor tiles and curtains.

Before he jumped out of bed he saw Haruto sleeping on his lap.

"I can't wake you up now can I?" Naruto said in his mind as if he was talking to a baby.

He then gently picked up Haruto and held him in his arms.

Once he had Haruto secured, he opened the window and grabbed his clothes, he then jumped down from the window and landed on a bush.

He then quickly ran away from the hospital and went to his apartment.

When he got there, he remembered that he lost his eye in the attack so he went into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror.

As he stood in front of the mirror he placed his hands on the bandages covering his right eye and he slowly unwrapped it.

Before he fully took off the bandage he hesitated, he stood there for minutes holding the bandage in place.

Haruto woke up during that time and went over to Naruto. He then jumped on the sink which was below the mirror and gave a small squeak while looking at Naruto's reflection.

Naruto felt comforted by Haruto so he took a deep breath and took off the last bit of the bandage that covered his eye.

When he saw an eye he dropped the bandage and started crying, he didn't expect there to be an eye so seeing one made him so happy that it caused him to cry.

He didn't care that it was a different color, he was just glad that there was an eye.

The next day when Naruto was about to go inside the classroom he thought about how the class would react to his eye, it didn't take long for him to snap out of it because Haruto was there to comfort him.

As he entered the class he ignored all the glares and went to his seat next to Shikamaru and Kiba. He didn't say a word but instead got ready for class, an odd thing for Naruto to.

"Hey Naruto, are you okay?" Kiba asked from the left side.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm just having a hard time right now, i feel like i just can't catch a break" Naruto said as he put his head down on his notebook.

Shikamaru sighed after seeing Naruto in a bad mood, "How bad was it this time?" Shikamaru asked with a commanding but concerned tone.

As an answer, Naruto turned his head and showed Shikamaru his new eye and to his surprise Shikamaru didn't react.

"Well at least you're alive, both you and Haruto, that's all that matters" Shikamaru said with a hard voice, still making eye contact with his new deep emerald eye.

Naruto knew he was right, what would he have done if Haruto died? What would Haruto do if he died? Naruto cheered up a bit, just happy that they didn't die.

As class started, Naruto raised his head and Mizuki sensei instantly called him out on his eye, "Naruto! No contacts for making your eyes different colored, take out the contact right now" Mizuki-senesi said while making it sound as if he wasn't aware about what happened with his eye. After all he was there, he could have stopped it but he didn't.

"I can't" Naruto said while looking down.

"What do you mean you can't? Is it stuck or something?" Mizuki-sensei asked while making it sound like he was concerned.

The students already started to gossip about it, saying he was dumb and stupid.

When Naruto was expecting Sasuke to make fun of him it didn't come. Naruto then looked up and noticed that Sasuke and Hitomi weren't in class.

He only breathed a sigh of relief that he wasn't going to get bullied by him that day.

"Well, can you not get it out?" Mizuki-senesi asked with a bit of laughter.

Naruto then went back to Mizuki sensei, "it's not a contact" Naruto said quietly as his head dropped again.

"What was that?" Mizuki sensei asked while trying to hide his grin.

"What a drag"

"Shouldn't you be teaching already or do I have to report you for laughing at a student?" Shikamaru said with some anger in his voice.

"Yeah, you should be teaching, not making fun of one of your students" Kiba said following after Shikamaru.

"Hurry up so we can get launch already" Choji said while grabbing a handful of chips.

"It'd be best if you went on with the lesson" Shino added in his stoic tone.

His friends doing this made Naruto feel happy, they made him feel like he was human, they showed him how people are supposed to be treated.

Naruto being discriminated against and bullied for as long as he can remember didn't know what it was like to be a real person but recently because of his friends he felt truly human.

And that was what Naruto was to them. They saw no demon, no tool or weapon, nothing to be afraid of but a boy, a boy that was filled with loneliness and pain. And that boy needed people to stand with him and that's where they were. They were all there for Naruto because they knew that he would do the same for them.

When Naruto got out of school he was walking to his apartment when he heard disturbing news, "I can't believe Sasuke and Hitomi are the last Uchiha of the village" a villager said.

When Naruto and Haruto heard this, they slowed down on their walk and tried to listen in.

"I can't believe his own brother, Itachi Uchiha, killed his whole clan" another villager said towards the first one.

"His whole clan is gone?!" Naruto thought to himself in surprise.

Naruto never had a family, his friends were the closest thing to a family but he did know what it was like to be lonely, he didn't want Sasuke to feel like he did.

Instead of going to his apartment, they went to the Uchiha Clan compound, after the attack of the Ninetails, the Uchiha were put under fire because it was thought that they had used the beast. Because of that, they were put at the edge of the village.

As Naruto went to the Uchiha compound, he instantly smelled the blood, it was all gone but the smell lingered in the air.

Naruto walked through the compound, looking for Sasuke's house, he didn't know what it looked like but he assumed it was the largest one.

After a while of looking, he found a long house that was surrounded by a wall, both front and back having a field.

He went under the yellow tape that was in the entrance of the wall and went to the door.

As he knocked on the door, no one answered. He knocked again but no one answered, so he called out, "Sasuke? Sasuke it's me Naruto! I'm here to check on you" Naruto called out but no response, there wasn't even a sound of movement.

So Naruto decided to leave and go to Hiruzen for answers.

Naruto left the compound and headed straight for the tall, multi-tiered building that was the Hokage's office.

When he arrived he went past the secretary like usual and went into Hiruzen's main office.

"Gramps!" Naruto shouted as he went into the office, Haruto covered his ears from the sudden shout.

Hiruzen was doing paperwork at the time so he was a bit shocked, "yes Naruto? Anything I can help you with?" Hiruzen asked.

"Where's Sasuke? I need to talk with him" Naruto said in his loud voice.

Hiruzen didn't move at the mention of Sasuke, apparently he had to deal with a lot of villagers regarding him and his sister, "Sasuke is in the hospital, he was under a powerful genjutsu and was put in a coma, he woke up today but I doubt he would want to be stuck there so you better hurry to catch him" Hiruzen said with a soft tone of voice, almost seeming relaxed.

"Thanks Gramps!" Naruto said as he rushed out of the room, Haruto holding onto Naruto's hair as if he was going to fall off.

"So, he really did lose an eye, poor Naruto" Hiruzen said as he took a puff from his pipe.

As Naruto ran on the streets, he headed for the big white building that he hated so much.

When he entered, he went to the list of patients and took a quick glance at it until he saw it, "Uchiha - 206" Naruto read.

He then went off into the hallway in order to find stairs.

"206, that means he's on the 2nd floor right? Then he's in the 6th room of the 2nd floor!" Naruto thought.

When he heard Haruto squeak he looked around.

"Haruto?" Naruto asked in confusion.

Haruto squeaked again and pointed his nose towards a staircase.

"A staircase! Alright, thanks Haruto!" Naruto said as he ran off toward the stairs.

When Naruto went up he looked for the room Sasuke was in, after a while of looking, he found it.

"Room 206" Naruto read aloud, he then knocked on the door, "Sasuke? You in there?" Naruto asked.

When no one answered he started to build up panic but he then heard the sound of a bed creek.

"Sasuke, it's me, Naruto, I came to check on you. I know what you went through, I can't imagine how it felt but I do know what loneliness feels like, I just wanna talk" Naruto said.

"Get lost" a quiet yet broken voice said.

"Sasuke, let me at least talk with you" Naruto said as he slid down and started to be on his knees while leaning on the door.

"I said get lost!" Sasuke shouted.

Naruto heard quiet sobbing coming from inside the room.

Suddenly the door behind Naruto opened, "Leave him alone, he was put through much worse than me" a voice said from behind Naruto.

Haruto looked back first and he squeaked happily.

As Naruto looked back he saw Hitomi, Sasuke's sister.

"Hitomi?" Naruto asked.

Hitomi was like the complete opposite of Sasuke, besides academic and physical abilities, she was a calm and collected girl with short black hair that went to her shoulders.

She had friends in the girl part of class and she was popular among the guys too for her looks.

"Are you guys alright?" Naruto asked while getting up.

"I'm fine, Sasuke and I saw the same thing but he had to relive it hundreds of times when our- no, when Itachi put him under a genjutsu. He only knocked me out but I decided to stay with Sasuke" Hitomi said while looking down.

She then noticed that Naruto had some bandages on him, "what happened to you?" Hitomi asked.

"I don't want to talk about it" Naruto said quietly.

"Sort of hypocritical, don't you think?" Hitomi asked with a small smirk.

Naruto didn't think of that, he wasn't thinking what other emotion they could be feeling besides loneliness, in fact they were feeling like their world shattered. The person they loved and trusted stabbed them through the back and betrayed their trust while scarring them for life.

"Well-" Naruto then told Hitomi what happened that night.

"It happened on the same day then, that was the same day that Itachi killed our clan" Hitomi said.

As she stared closer at his eye she had a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it somewhere.

"Hey, who is Itachi? I know he's your brother but I don't know anything besides that" Naruto asked while breaking Hitomi out of her thoughts.

"Itachi, he was a prodigy, the pride of the Uchiha Clan, he was father's favorite child, he seemed kind but k guess that was a lie, I wonder what else was a lie now" Hitomi said with the last bit quieter than the other parts.

"I see, I don't get all the family stuff but it's nice if you have someone around, well I'ma go now, see you later!" Naruto said as he ran out into the hall and left the hospital.

The next time they saw Sasuke in class he told us that Hitomi left the village.


Like I said yesterday, this is a LONG chapter but I did enjoy writing it

anyways about the eye, as a lot of you know probably everyone knows actually, that the Uchiha eyes are black, they don't have other colors, but the eye Naruto got is an emerald color. I don't want to spoil my plans but I'm pretty sure we all know that he got an Uchiha eye but that's not the point . . . it's a green Uchiha eye.

Anyways, it's green because I thought it would look cool, I mean his blue eye is like a diamond while his green one can be like an emerald. Yeah I don't know . . .

If you want to add a better explanation to it then you can leave it in the feedback and I'll add it if no one else puts in an explanation but please be serious about it cause I don't want to say that it's green because a seagull pooped directly on the eye at one point so it turned green for some reason . . . I have no idea why that was the first thing that came to my mind as an explanation but I think you get the point.

Now with all my talking/typing finished then I have one last thing to say, I do NOT, I repeat, I do NOT own Naruto or ANY of the characters because it would be a horrible idea to give me the power of that big of a story, tbh I think I would get rid of Boruto and make it in a more old setting instead of modern.
