Role's Reversed (Naruto Fan Fiction)

"Sasuke... Why do you care so much!? I don't want to understand your pain! Mine surpasses yours!" I heard Naruto yell. I knew he wanted nothing more than revenge. He wanted the village to perish.

"I care... Because I am your friend, Naruto!" I call. The statement seemed to anger him. But I believed it.

Naruto put his hand on Madara's shoulder, signaling that they were about to leave. I wanted to stop him, but Kakashi put his hand on my head, saying that it was time to let Naruto go for now.

I looked down. How could I ever revive the Uchiha if I couldn't even save one friend?

It wasn't always like this y'know. Naruto used to be a normal guy. He used to laugh, and come to ninja school. But I had never realized that he had so much pain.

This is how it all started.

"You beast! Go away!" I saw Naruto get hit by a man on the street. I wanted to run over there, but I knew he would just shake me off. Naruto didn't like anybody, and nobody liked Naruto. He seemed in great pain at the fact that he was despised everywhere. I didn't particularly despise him, but I didn't really protagonise him, either. I sort of felt conflicted about not helping him, but he wasn't my responsibility. I walked away, still grieving my family. I wanted to cry, but I knew that would be letting Itachi win. I curled my lip. I had to get strong and kill him!

Over the years, I had learned that revenge was not the answer. Not the way to go. But Naruto had been too bitter over his hate toward the village to care.

He didn't care if he died as long as he obliterated everybody in the Leaf. Naruto was a bingo book criminal, as he had been since a little after the chunin exams. I remember going after Naruto, begging for him not to leave to go to the Akatsuki.

But he didn't listen. He wanted to get stronger by cutting his ties, and being immersed in darkness. The Akatsuki gave him the opportunity of strength if he agreed to give his life after obliterating the village. 

Naruto said yes.

I've tried relentlessly to get him back... He doesn't listen. Somehow it reminds me of when Naruto was stubborn in the old days. It almost brought me to tears. I wanted him to see tat what he was doing was wrong. But he didn't care.

I used to be Naruto's only friend... I still am. And as much as I don't want Naruto on this path, I can't blame him. Nobody was ever there for him. Even I wasn't perfect. As Kakashi, Sakura, and I walked through the forest, I couldn't help but want to laugh.

It would've been so easy to have our role's reversed. Where I was possesed with hatred, and him trying to save me. 

Back when Itachi threw me down, Naruto saved me from revenge. I guess he doesn't practice what he preaches. Yet I still couldn't save him.

I remember when Naruto had so many of us as friends. I remember when he fought with Neji. Naruto always pulled through. He had that charisma. That belief in himself. To this day, I have no idea why he turned this way. After Lady Tsunade came, some catalyst came and turned him dark. One day, Naruto had showed up to a mission with a totally different personality. Like mine when I was emo. 

Kakashi, Sakura, and I were worried, and before we knew it, He was trying to leave the village. He had a different look in his eyes. He was like a new person.

I don't know why Naruto changed, but I swear, one day, I'll figure out why, and I'll bring him back.
