Naruto POV

I dusted myself down as I shakily stood up. Cracking my sore neck I groaned, they really did a number on my this time. Violently I coughed up blood, my wounds closing at an unnatural rate.

Why would I be this injured?

It is my punishment. I have been tortured everyday since I was to years old emotionally and physically. A demon cannot complain though. I deserve everything that I have and will go through. In fact I deserve the pain ten times over.

I wiped out most of the village.

Jiji says that it wasn't my fault but I cannot bring myself to believe him. The villagers vs one person? Who was I supposed to believe? I chose the villagers as there are hundreds of them  and one Jiji. You see I love Jiji and I am thankful that even looks at me with kindness. Ayumi and Tenichi  (think that's how you spell it) too.

For them I try desperately to hang on but I am not sure I can do that anymore. My tears ran out long ago. My eyes lost their sparkle long ago. My mind and body were broken long ago.

All I have left is this pathetic mask...
