A Fools Dream

Chapter One

"Wake up to reality! Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world. The longer you live, the more you realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain. suffering and futility. Listen, everywhere you look in this world, wherever there is light, there will always be shadows to be found as well. As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will also exist. The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace initiates war. and hatred is born in order to protect love."

How his words speak truth our lives as shinobi. This ACCURSED world or whatever has thrown me a curveball. Let be start from the beginning

From the First Great Ninja War to the Last, Shinobi has been wounded and come to hate each other for the benefit of their own nation and village. It wasn't until now that we have joined hands to save our world. We became one. A union bond of different ideals.

Everone now lays in a genjutsu. A world of their dreams. Living a lie thanks to Kaguya. Now, where do I fit into this situation you ask. It started when I was on the battlefield. Team seven which of course includes me were the only ones facing the old hag. Let's just go to where everything became a shit show.

The only ones left standing were Kakashi, the Hokage, and I. Sakura laid motionless behind Kaguya. Blood soaked her clothes and her chest was no longer moving.

I lost another friend. Everything that this monster has taken away from me. She is the overall reason that my parents died. She controlled Madara, who in turn controlled Obito and Nagato. If it was for her, there would not be this senseless war. Kaguya is just a power-hungry inhuman beast who should have died long ago.

Tears slid down my cheeks. "Sakura, get up," I screamed. I failed again. I am sure thousands died protecting me during this war, that included Neji. Now my comrades are entangled in a genjutsu.

As I was stuck in my daze, I failed to notice Kaguya launching a Jutsu at me.
All I felt was guilt and shame. Because of my lack of awareness, Sasuke ran in front of me and took the hit. He screamed and fell to the ground. Sasuke's hand was placed over his wound as was struggling to breathe. His only hope was the endless bleeding would disappear

"This can't be happening." I panic took control. I bent down to look at Sasuke's wound. "No...no..no...You can't die on me." Sasuke lifted his hand to my cheek. Instead of placing it there to comfort me, he grabbed it and pulled.

"Pull yourself together," Sasuke huffed, "I will be alright. It's only a flesh wound." He took a breath. "Naruto you need to focus on the matter at hand. You Kakashi cover for me. Just let me catch my breath." He looks at me and with the hand that pulled my cheek wiped away my tears. He then did what I never expect him to do. With a slight smile, he pokes my head. "We will win this."

I wiped my tears and stared at Kaguya. "You want to kill me right," she looks at sakura and picked her up the neck. "too bad this one is already dead," she said as she choked my teammate. She then threw her like she was nothing.

I bit my inner cheek and clenched my fists. Sakura does not deserve this. She should be able to rest in peace. As much as I want to punch Kaguya, I can't run in. I need to come up with a plan. This is a battlefield after all.

The silence was interrupted with a poof. I looked around and noticed the four Hokage disappeared. "Damn. We need all the help we can get." Kakashi stated. Where did they go?

"Now who should I kill," Kaguya smiled. She was calculating her next move. "How about you suffer first. A punishment for Defying me. You should have just surrendered while you have the chance." Looked between Kakashi and me. "Let's go with you," her hand pointed at Kakashi. With that, she launched her Jutsu.

I can't fail again. I was in front of Kakashi in a flash. With a burning sensation through my body, I looked at my sensei. I smiled as he stared at me with horror. Then I blackout. Then the words of Obito Uchiha filled the void.

"This will just keep happening and all of your flippant words and ideals will become lies. This is the end result of ideals and hope. This is reality. What is there in this reality? Your mother and father are gone, your master Jiraiya too and if you keep standing against us you will continue to lose your friends one by one. This shall become a world where no one who acknowledges you will exist. The only thing that awaits you is your worst nightmare which you know very well, solitude"

WHAT A FUCKING SHIT SHOW.
