If the truth comes out

"Alright! Looks like everyone is here, so let's get going." Kakashi said with his one eyed smile.

"OSU" everyone said in unison.

SHIKAMARU POV
'I wonder what's happening with Naruto, he's never acted strangely except for the one time he ate bad ramen and threw up on one of the team missions. But even then he seemed to kinda force that sentence out. He's very odd'

NO ONE POV
"Hey Sasuke!" The fuxing cotton candy hair said. "What is your dream in life!" Sakura said curious of his desires.

"Hm, probably to avenge my clan and kill my brother" Sasuke spoke in his monotone voice as usual."Uhm okay! What about you Neji?"

"I... don't know" Neji said while looking into space.
"What about you Naruto?" Sakura asked. "Naruto?" She asked again when he didn't answer.

"NARUTO!" She finally thunked him on the head. The second she did that he just put up his hands in a defense form "I'm sorry!" He whispered so quietly only Neji, who was standing near him, Shikamaru and Kakashi could hear.

Once Naruto realized what he did, he quickly put his arms down and tried to laugh it off. "Hahaha! Sorry I accidentally zoned out!" He said in his usual energetic voice- but something just seemed... off.

NARUTO POV
When we started walking I began to zone out, I remembered my birthday was in a few days 'huh' I thought at least I won't be in the village, when I get back it will be a total hell hole though. They'll probably put the kyuubi hunt on hold.

That's great.

I was suddenly flashed back to reality when I felt a bonk on my head. I remembered the way the villagers would throw rocks and me or hit me so out of reflex I put my hands up and spoke out in a soft whisper "I'm sorry."
The second I opened my eyes I saw all the stares and remembered that I was on a mission with my team.

"Hahaha! Sorry I accidentally zoned out!" I said while putting one of my hands by my side and the other behind my head  trying to laugh it off. "What was it Sakura Chan? I asked

"Uhm well what is your dream in life Naruto? She asked. What do I dream of? To become hokage? To be the greatest shinobi to live? Or...    to just disappear.

I suddenly remembered that people were awaiting my answer. "To become Hokage of course!" I said after a moment of silence.

I had a feeling everyone was wondering why I hesitated but just brushed it off as being nervous.

KAKASHI POV
What was that? Naruto has never hesitated about becoming Hokage. Come to think of it he's never really zoned out or reacted like that to Sakura ever.

"We're almost there you brats." I said while eyeing Naruto. I better keep watch of him.

NARUTO POV
"We're almost there you brats." I heard Kakashi sensei say. "Alright!" I say in my joyful tone as usual. "I can't wait! I'm so excited- Wait Kakashi sensei where are we even going?" I asked realizing I never knew where we were actually going.

"YOU BAKAAAAA!!! DID YOU NOT LISTEN WHEN KAKASHI SENSEI TOLD US WHERE WE WERE GOINGGGGG" Sakura-Chan screamed whilst hitting my head again.

"Owwwwww" I said while putting my hands in my head pretending that hurt." 'HA! Jokes on you the villagers hurt me more than that!'

"Sorry Sakura-Chan, but where are we going?" I asked In complete confusion. "Well, if you paid attention," I heard Shikamaru say. "We are going to stay at an inn because it takes about a week to get to our destination, you dingus."

"Ha! Sorry I guess I just zoned out when Kakashi sensei told us." I said trying to sound cool but on the inside I was whacking myself on the inside for not paying attention

"Anyways, we should be arriving in about 3 hours so just don't start killing eachother in the meantime. Kakashi sensei said. "Alright! MY YOUTHFUL FRIENDS WHAT SHALL WE DO IN THE MEANTIME WHILST WE WAIT" Lee said while pumping his fist in the air.

NO ONE POV
"Oh! I know, we should play truth or dare while we wait!" Ino said happily. "YES THAT IS A WONDERFULLY AMAZING IDEA MY FRIEND." Lee spoke. "Okay! Who's going first?" Sakura asked. "UHm maybe oh! I know, Hinata, why don't you go first?" Ino asked. "U- Uhm, is that okay?" Hinata asked acting very shy.

"Of course it is!" "A-Alright then, Sasuke truth or dare?" Hinata asked surprising everyone. Hinata never said okay to truth or dare! "Who was your first kiss?" she askedSasuke blushed and pointed at Naruto who was already blushing when people looked at him. "L-Listen! We didn't mean to kiss! What I meant to do was stare him down until he died! Believe it!" Naruto said in embarrassment.

"Oh my gosh! You kissed Sasuke before me?! How could you Naruto!" Sakura said before punching Naruto in the arm, which she didn't know opened up one of his scars.

Naruto winced feeling one of his scars open up. He couldn't act for much longer. He just wanted to get to the inn and re charge.

"Uhm Okay, Sasuke your turn." Hinata said in a very shy voice. "Hn. Naruto. Why do you want to become hokage?" He asked. Once he finished everyone started staring at Naruto expecting him to say what nonsense he usually says like, 'Because I want unlimited food!' Or 'For to be the strongest!' But instead he just looked up at the sky and said "I want everyone to realize what a mistake they've done to me." It was barely a whisper but everyone heard it like it was the loud sound in the world.

"W-what?" Hinata asked she couldn't believe the brightest person she knew sounded so...Dead. Suddenly it looked like a flip switched in Naruto's expression as he said "Oh! Haha! Did I scare you? I think my acting has gotten pretty good." He said while sticking his tongue out of his mouth. Expecting everyone to not think anything of and just move on he opened his eyes and immediately realized something was wrong.

"N-Naruto why I-Is your arm bleeding."
