Naruto: Rejected

Nightmare

In the middle of the night, everything was silent in the village of the hidden leaf. Everything seemed so peaceful, but this was so far from reality.

A small blonde child was having a nightmare in the middle of the night. This was only a nightmare, but everything seemed real to him.

The small blonde was running through the streets of Konoha to escape from all the people behind him. They had weapons and torches with them since they wanted to catch and torture the "demon" of the village.

Our small blonde hero didn't stop since he knew what was going yo happen if they caught him. However, he was going to run out of luck in his dreams.

He reached a part in which the path was divided in two. He decided to take the right path without realizing that this was a dead end and also without realizing that the other path ended up the same. After all, he was only remembering something that happened five years ago when he was five years old.

Naruto reached the end of the path, and he just stayed put looking at the wall in front of him. He couldn't believe that this was happening again. He couldn't believe that he always chose the wrong path. It was like his life was ruined from the beginning.

After a moment, he decided to turn around, and there he was. A small child of five years old against a huge group of villagers blinded by hatred.

He started to cry while saying, "Please, I don't know what I did wrong, but I will fix it. Just don't hurt me. " However, his words didn't have an effect on the people in front of him.

In that moment, one of the villagers threw a kunai at his chest, and he woke up when the weapon was inches apart from hitting him.

Naruto woke up frightened and hyperventilating since this was one of the traumatic situations that he already had to endure on his hard life.

He looked at the clock and saw that it was three in the morning. Then, he decided to take a look at his window. Seeing the peace of the night. The moon, the stars, the shadow of the clouds, and the absolute silence.

He loved the night since this was the time in which he was able to have a couple moments of peace. After all, nobody wanted him, and he was only treated as a monster by the whole village.

While looking at his window, he remembered some of the things that happened lately.

A week ago, he was only looking at some masks that were outside of a store since he wanted to scare some of his classmates because they always excluded him from everything.

While he was looking at them, the owner of the store went out and yelled at him. Told him, " What do you want, monster? Are you planning something against us? Against the village? I will not sell you anything. " And then, he proceeded to throw the mask at Naruto's face.

The people around didn't care about Naruto since they hated him, and they even congratulated the man because he had shown his place to the "demon."

After remembering those events, a single tear came out. A tear full of despair, loneliness. A single tear with a lot of feelings behind it.

Then, Naruto proceeded to sleep once again since he knew that he needed to sleep well if he wanted to have enough forces to keep showing his false mask.

A mask that he decided to put on to avoid others from hurting him more. He believed that others were going to stop attacking him if he continued showing that he didn't care if they treated him that way.

A mask so well put that even his "friends" or his classmates didn't see it.  For this reason, he decided to sleep thinking of the silence of the night to try to have at least a decent dream for once.
