My Dawn |Naruto U.|

14- I love you, but now you hate me

—-

As I awoke the first thing I realized was I was in a tent.

I sat up and leaned my weight into my hand.

"What happened?" I asked as I saw Sakura healing others in the same tent.

"Naruto saved the village," Sakura said, smiling.

"That's good" I said and stood up.

"Hey wait are you sure you're ok?" Asked Sakura.

"I'm fine for real this time," I smiled at her, she then spoke again.

"If you want to go visit Naruto, he is helping with rebuilding the houses and everything," she told me.

I nodded happily and left the tent I was in.

My smile dropped and I walked around to find Naruto.

I saw tazuna and a familiar looking kid with naruto.

"Wait a minute, is that you inari?" I asked in disbelief.

He nodded proudly and Sakura appeared behind me.

I pat him on the head, "how you doing there" he pushed my hand off his head and whined like a small kid.

I laughed and decided to hang around Naruto for a while.

Naruto and Sakura conversed about a mission they went on without me and I heard Tazuna ask about sasuke.

I walked over as Naruto said Sasuke and him had a fight and Sasuke left the village for a bit.

I intervened in the conversation, "if you must know though sasuke has found some other companions to accompany him during this time so no need to worry about him" I smiled at tazuna.

After a bit of talking, Tazuna and Inari left our group consisting of me, Sakura Naruto and kakashi.

"Now I understand, about how Sasuke felt." I heard naruto.

I turned to him, gripping the straps of my bag that held the headbands of dead Akatsuki and items that belonged to them.

"About what revenge is" he finished his sentence

I bit my lip enough to make it bleed and It Turned away from all three of them, "you may know what it's like to want revenge over one person but that in the end will just leave you even emptier than before and it will hurt more than when the person betrayed or left you" I wiped the blood from my lip and chin.

Sakura turned to me confused as I grabbed the headband around my neck with my right hand, "what do you mean by that?'' She asked and Naruto turned to face me as well.

"What I'm saying is no matter what you do it will hurt you, I had to kill and abandon the ones I called family to protect the other people that I hold dear." Tears begged to escape my eyes as I held them back.

I reached into my bag and pulled out a puppet made by Sasori, the headbands belonging to Hidan Kakuzu and Itachi, a metal rod, and finally I untied the headband from my neck.

"What are you doing?" asked naruto.

"The belongings of each person I held dear that I had to kill to protect the others I loved," I lightly brushed my hand across each item.

"Who were they?" asked Sakura intrigued.

"The headband that belonged to deidara a traitor and the one who captured gaara, I had to kill him to keep sasuke safe," I re-tied his headband to my neck.

"Itachi, I loved him as an older brother as well but to make Sasuke happy once again I let him die, and it hurt me a second time." I put his headband neatly into my bag.
