Naruto love story

13-Run Away

I sit alone for a very long time in my hospital room, thinking about how everyone will look down upon me now. How Sasuke would laugh once he found out that I'm a failure. I feel bitter hatred towards... everything. Even my family. It feels like I've been lied to the whole time. I'm not strong, I'm not 'The light of the Uchiha clan,' as my father put it. I'm just a failure.

I lifelessly get out of the hospital bed that I was laying in and stare at my fathers sword, which is leaning on the white walls that surround this room, tucked into its scabbard, ready for me to strap it on like always... no. I don't deserve this anymore. I pick the sword up with a lifeless expression on my face. Why? Why did my father give this to a weakling like me? I suddenly open a window in my room and I hurl my fathers sword out the window. It flies far before landing into a bush.

I leave the room, a former shell of myself. I walk like I've come back from the dead. I walk down a long hallway. I expected to hear the cheers of the fans in the distance, but instead I hear weapons clashing with each other. What's going on? But I could care less at this point... I... I feel so weak. No one will take me seriously after that match, after that humiliating loss to Neji.

I finally see an exit ahead.The sound of fighting seems to be coming from there. I walk through the exit, which leads me to the audience... but they're all asleep. Wow, were the chunin exams that boring? Everyone is sleeping except for Sakura, who is ducking behind a row of seats for cover. I look around and notice that Kakashi and that guy that looks like an older version of Rock Lee are battling a bunch of ninjas from the sound village. The sound ninja are wearing ski masks over their heads and seem quite powerful.

I stand there with the same dead look on my face.

"Kumori!" Sakura exclaims as she spots me standing in the open.

"Get out of here! It's dangerous!" Kakashi orders me as he tries to fend off the sound ninja. Its dangerous? He knows how weak I am. He knows that I can't be useful. I clench my teeth at his words. "Kumori, get down!" Kakashi shouts quickly, but it's to late. A kunai knife was hurled towards my face. I managed to put my wrist in front of my face before the kunai reached me. It dug deep into my palm. The pain was excruciating, I felt the cold blood flowing through the wound that has been inflicted to my palm, but I don't make a noise. I don't react to the pain. Sakura and Kakashi are staring at me with worried expressions, the sound ninja that threw the kunai seems proud of himself.

"Should have stated in bed, kid!" The sound ninja taunts me as he pulls out another kunai.

"You'll pay for that!" Kakashi shouts as he begins clashing with him.

"Come on Kumori, its not safe here," Sakura says to me as I notice that she's standing beside me, her hand is on my back, she's trying to guide me to a safer location, but I don't budge and before I knew it, Sakura is down on the ground because of me. I pushed her to the ground with my unwounded hand. I am completely controlled by anger at this point. I violently pull the kunai out from my palm as blood rushes out, I'm losing a lot of blood, but I don't care, I jolt my head up and I stare directly at the ninja who hit me with the kunai. Him and Kakashi are trying to catch their breaths from their clash.

I clench the blood stained kunai in my hand and let out a scream as I recklessly charge towards the sound ninja, and with a sudden burst of strength, I continuously stab the sound ninja in his chest, even after he stopped breathing, I continued to stab, there was blood everywhere. I felt happiness and relief every time I dug the kunai into his chest, like all my anger was disappearing along with the sound ninja's life.

"Get off him!" another sound ninja raises his voice nervously, but gasps as I jolt my head towards him and stare into his soul. I... I murdered someone... I murdered someone in cold blood. My eyes open wide with that realization as I drop the kunai to the ground. I stare at the sound ninja's lifeless body in shock at my actions. I've never killed someone before.
