Did you ever wonder what obstacles did other people passed through? Were they desperate for love? In the midst of feeling pain, hatred, loneliness? Or were they one of the lucky people who didn't have a problem in comparison with the others?

Specifically based on some of the Konohagakure students, most have normal lives while few lived in sadness.

First off, Uchiha Sasuke. Or the people call him as 'The Hot'n Cold Prince' Hot on the outside, though cold in the inside.

Particularly, it may not look like it, he may not show it, but his life is one of the most hurtful ones. How? Loneliness. He is in the same shoes as Sakura, though Sakura's experience has just begun. Sasuke felt the pain a long time ago, which is also the reason why he is cold. Regardless of the situations, he is used to it. In being alone. Just by himself.

During his early days, his parents were always away to work because they are the head of the Uchiha comp and Sasuke respected that. Sasuke and his older bro, Itachi, were always together until time flew fast and Ita took his footsteps and became an official member of the Uchiha comp, leaving Sasuke behind. When Itachi graduated, Fugaku (father of Sasu) introduced Hatake Kakashi to guide Sasuke for protection and maturity. The masked Hatake is also their adviser. He also was the one who taught Sasuke many things, like how a teacher should be.

In his childhood, he has no true friends because his fangirls would always get in the way. Yes as early as elementary he already has fangirls.

Back to the main topic, he encountered his true friends when a certain blonde headed kid challenged him, which led both of them to rivalry.

Although, Sasuke always won. Both of them were lonely. The only difference is that Naruto often glances up to the bright side while Sasuke was stuck in the sea of darkness.

Sooner or later, they became best friends and met more people. In addition he and Ino, along with their friends, saved Sakura from the bullies' grasp which is why they became friends. Though saving her doesn't mean that Sasuke has a thing for Sakura. He just doesn't want more people to experience the burden he carried. That was his past.

As stated a while ago, Uzumaki Naruto is similar to Sasuke. He also felt loneliness, only in a different way. Ever since he was little, his parents were always gone. His mother, Kushina, was the owner of Ichiraku Ramen restaurant and his father, Minato, was the Hokage or "Leader of Konoha". A very hard job being a leader. The restaurant was famous in their city and Konoha is a well-known city around the world. With both very busy jobs, they were always at work and they barely see Naruto. So, Naruto was alone and doesn't get hurt because he was alone from the start.

Along the way, he met a man named "Jiraiya" when he was lost in the streets. Jiraiya helped him and soon they became close to each other, they had the same relationship as Kakashi and Sasuke.
