Chapter 3: Face Down In Sorrow

"Please ... we can sort this out" she placed her hand on his shoulder, he swiped it off and screamed

"NO TOUCH ME ! THIS ...This was always about you and Sasuke ... always ... never about me"

"That's not true ..."

"Bullshit ... so long Sakura ... I'll end this all for everyone" A love long withered, leaving a tear trailing down his cheek

"Naruto wait !" She pleased

But it was too late, he was gone.

Naruto faded away into the shadows of night engulfed forest, he tore off his top which was already damaged from the thick brush which tore at him like talons. The heavy rain pelted his back as he ran through dirt, water and mud. His face was a light tone of brown from the grit that splashed from the ground, except two lines of pale skin, where the streaming tears had cleaned away the dirt. He wailed and screamed in sadness and anger at the village that had spat him out, at the friends who did not help him, at the woman who tore out his heart and most of all, Sasuke, who had turned his world upside down and brought Naruto to such a low-level. he ripped down trees and smashed rocks in absolute fury, his tears ceasing no less as they leaked out of him like twin rivers of fire. He felt his world crumble around him, only a few hours before he was a happy man with great friends, a great Ninja reputation and a woman whom he loved with all his heart. After all the blood, sweat and tears put into bringing Sasuke back to the village, he ends up betraying Naruto and turning his own people against him.

He raised his fanged mouth and screamed, his obsidian black eyes pulsing with his anger, his red pupils dilating in and out.

"SASUKE ! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS, I WILL TAKE MY VENGEANCE!"

He swiped a tree and split it in half with the force of a raging hurricane. He moved around the grove of tree's smashing and tearing, he crumbled rocks with his bare feet and dug out the earth with his savage blows, he was in an absolute craze. His tears felt like hot lead. He fell to his knees in the rough soil and spoke not only to himself, but to the world it seemed

"You ... you always do this too me ... You have made my life Hell and burned the remains of my honor, emotions and love ... do you hear me ?KONOHA ! DO YOU HEAR ME !"

He drew his Kunai and cut his arm open, letting the blood cover his kunai. He raised his bloodied Kunai to the sky and shouted

" I GAVE MY BLOOD FOR THIS VILLAGE ... FOR IT'S PEOPLE ! and now ... it throws me away like trash ... all the people I loved ..."

3 Years Ago

The blonde haired boy awoke like a jack in a box and sprung from his bed, he whooped with happiness and excitement, today was his special day and he hoped people would celebrate it with him. He jumped into his clothes and ran to the kitchen yelling and screaming like any excited kid would. He poured himself a glass of expired milk and dug into a fresh bowl of Ramen. He made sure to savour every flavor of his special meal. He belched aloud and ran out the door to the bright sunny streets of Konoha

"IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, YA KNOW !"

he made his way to the park to find his friends, hopefully they remembered it was his Birthday, or there would be hell to pay. He looked from park to park but found no one, he even dared look in the library, where ever he went no one was around. He began to feel a bit blue, knowing his friends were out having fun without him, on his birthday. He went to go see Tsunade and ask where they all are, hopefully she would have his answers

"Hey Granny Tsunade ... Where is everyone ?"

"Oh ... Urm... A mission ... you were asleep so they left you ... sorry"
