Naruto Gets Emo

Show and Tell

     After a few days of practice, he was ready. The talent show was starting. He always wanted to dye half his hair, but used to worry it would only gain him more insults and hate. Now, he couldn't care less. The villagers would most likely hate him no matter what he did. So, he dyed half his hair black. He also either burned or dyed black his orange outfits and got some new clothes. 

     Once he arrived, everyone was slightly shocked about his new look, but thought whatever he did would be dumb or he would fail at whatever he did. 

     But then he started to sing, 

"You pull me by my hair so I don't go nowhere" 

The villagers had hurt him so many times. 

"Tell me you love me, but you treat me like I'm never there" 

He always felt alone. 

"You say the cruelest words, and yes, they break my heart

'Cause I'm over here working my ass off" 

He worked his hardest but everyone just called him an idiot and always insulted him. 

"Why is it so hard to see? (Why?)

If I cut myself, I would bleed (Ouch)

I'm just like you, you're like me

Imperfect and human are we" 

He wasn't a monster or a demon like the villagers believed. 

"Show and tell

I'm on display for all you fuckers to see

Show, you tell

Harsh words if you don't get a pic with me

Buy and sell (Buy and sell me, baby)

Like I'm a product to society" 

The villagers wanted to use him. 

"Art don't sell

Unless you've fucked every authority

You beg and cry for more, and yet I'm on the floor

There are strangers takin' pictures of me when I ask "No more"" 

The villagers didn't stop when he asked them to stop hurting him. 

"It's really hard for me to say just how I feel

I'm scared that I'll get thrown away like a banana peel" 

He hid how he truly felt. 

"Why is it so hard to see? (Why?)

If I cut myself, I would bleed (Ouch)

I'm just like you, you're like me

Imperfect and human are we" 

Nobody was perfect, so why was he treated as garbage. 

"Show and tell (Show and tell)

I'm on display for all you fuckers to see (Fuckers to see)

Show, you tell (Show and tell)

Harsh words if you don't get a pic with me

Buy and sell (Buy and sell)

Like I'm a product to society

Art don't sell

Unless you've fucked every authority" 

He had experienced a lot. 

"Show and tell, ah-ah-ah-ah

Why can't you fucking hear me?

Show and tell, ahem

Are you listening yet?" 

Everyone ignored him. 

"Show and tell (Show and tell, baby)

I'm on display for all you fuckers to see (Fuckers to see)

Show, you tell (Oh)

Harsh words if you don't get a pic with me

Buy and sell

Like I'm a product to society

Art don't sell

Unless you've fucked every authority," he finished the song. 

     He didn't care anymore. 

     ...It was silent for a moment, before some people started clapping. Naruto hadn't expected them to actually clap, so his mind went blank. He quickly left not knowing how to deal with praise, since he received so little of it from others. So... He just left. 

     ...He didn't know how everyone else would react. He didn't know who was clapping at his performance. He would probably just be called an idiot again. But if he didn't go Iruka would eventually drag him to the academy. He didn't want to deal with Sakura's banshee screeches anytime soon, but it seemed he would have to.
