*Complete* This is a story about a very sad and lonely Naruto. His happy smile and determination are all an act. He is sad and broken on the inside. The abuse and neglect of the village has had a severe impact on his emotional stability. He is depressed and suicidal. He forces the negative memories at bay, but every time there is a rain storm it cracks him open. It brings back all the painful memories. He believes no one has noticed. He thinks no one cares. No one can help him. He is wrong. His savior is an unlikely source. What will happen when his savior figures out what is going on? Can he be saved? Will it be too late? This story has a SasuNaru in it. I do not own Naruto or any of it's story line. Just my own ideas of this story. The story may have triggers. Be warned. M for language. I do not own Naruto or any of the characters.
