The Red Moon

The mask drops

Naruto Uchiha sat on his desk in class waiting for his jounin sensei along with his team. Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha, the stuck up heir to the Uchiha clan. Naruto inwardly scoffed. The little shit didn't even have his sharingan. His teammates were surprised that Naruto hadn't said a word. All the years they spent with his mask of idiocy and weakness, made them believe that was the real deal. His Uchiha clan member, though curious, decided it would be best not to question this sudden change of behavior. The pink haired girl however had other ideas.
"Naruto-baka, stop trying to act cool like Sasuke-kun, you're just a loser!!". Naruto only blinked at her and laid his head on the table. Both of them were taken aback by this reaction. Naruto who would have jumped and shouted something on the lines of beating Sasuke and becoming Hokage, simply shrugged off Sakura's insult. Sakura however was still convinced Naruto was acting cool. She made the mistake of hitting him on the back of the head. Naruto grabbed her by the neck and pinned her to the wall.
"Never hit me like that again". He said emotionlessly. Sakura was actually scared out of her life. Sasuke's reaction was different. He was intrigued. Could this be the real Naruto? Was all that just a mask? He would get to the bottom of it soon enough. Sakura was still struggling to break free of his grip, looking at her hero to save her, but to her shock, Sasuke just looked away. He wasn't even interested.
"I'd rather you don't kill your teammate this early on" . Kakashi said entering the room. Naruto let Sakura go and he sat down. Kakashi was looking curiously at the raven haired boy. The reports he read about his demeanor and his particular favouring of this particular pink haired girl, but according to what he saw here, it was a lie. Maybe Naruto was simply putting on an act. He quickly put that at the back of his mind.
"Meet me at the rooftop in five minutes". He shunshined to the roof.
Sasuke and Sakura got up and we're heading towards the stairs. They both turned to see that Naruto was still sitting there.
"Didn't you hear dobe?, We only have five minutes". Naruto simply stood up and vanished in front of them, earning shocked faces as a reaction. Not that he cared anyways. He arrived seconds after Kakashi also earning a look of disbelief from his teacher. Sasuke and Sakura who ran up eventually arrived, with Sasuke glaring at Naruto demanding to know how he knew such a jutsu. Naruto simply looked at Kakashi with a face that said - just go on -.
"Well first things first we'll introduce ourselves". Sakura then asked how to do so which was stupid, but Kakashi gave an example.
"My name is Kakashi Hatake, likes, none of your business, dislikes,also none of your business, hobbies, you don't need to know, goals for the future, don't have one".
He pointed at Sakura "okay go pinkie"
Sakura stood up " my name is Sakura Haruno, I like -she turns to Sasuke-, my dislikes are Naruto-baka and Ino-pig, my hobbies -she turns to Sasuke and squeals -, my goal for the future -an even bigger squeal-.
Sasuke shuddered slightly not wanting to know what she was thinking of.
"Okay you duckass hair". Sasuke grew a tick mark.
"Sasuke Uchiha, I don't like much, and I dislike alot of things, one being Sakura Haruno, my dream is not a dream, but an ambition. I want to kill a certain someone, and bring justice to my clan". Kakashi sweat dropped at the intro. "Okay then you, Madara look alike ".
"My name is Naruto Uchiha, I don't like anything, and I dislike everything, my hobbies are training to make sure I never lose a fight, my dream, to free someone from their prison, even if it means watching the world burn to ash". Naruto said darkly.
Kakashi was put on edge by this. This definitely wasn't the Naruto from the reports. They were damn wrong about this kid.
"Naruto, who exactly are you trying to free? And why would you watch the world burn?". Naruto stared at the sky for a few seconds as if waiting for an answer. His two teammates were also curious. What was he going on about?
" To your first question, I want to free the only person who cared for me, and protected my from this damned village, secondly, -he said activating his 3 tomoe sharingan shocking everyone, especially Sasuke - I will go to any lengths to free this person, even if it means I become the villain".
Now Kakashi had to speak to the Hokage about this.
He got a fangirl, an avenger, and worse, a psychopath hell bent on destroying the whole world to free one person, whoever it was. He told then to meet tomorrow at the training grounds by 6 and shunshined away.
Naruto was about to leave when Sasuke and Sakura surprisingly stopped him. "What are you planning on doing Naruto?". Sasuke asked.
Naruto gave a cheeky smile as he said
"Obviously use you all until I have no use for you, I'll cooperate, but bear this in mind, I have no friends, no comrades, and certainly as hell wouldn't flinch if any of you were killed before my eyes". With that he vanished leaving a shocked and pissed Sasuke and a concerned Sakura. For once she was actually worried about the boy. What kind of pain did he go through to end up like this?
