Naruto Uzumaki has always been alone. Up until his 16th birthday, he knew no one and spoke to nobody other than Kurama, his only friend. Rejected from attending the academy as a kid and harassed so much to the point where he completely isolated himself from the village, living in his bunker deep in the Konoha forests, Naruto has many encounters on what should be an ordinary day. 

This shift in Naruto's life, so subtle yet so drastic at the same time. Touch-deprivation and shunning forced him to build boundaries, but they ended up being knocked down in just one day. Is this shift in Naruto's life for the better, or will it only prove his theory on how trusting others leads to imminent doom?

If there's something wrong I want to be the first person to hear about it; I'll protect you with my life. I promise." "Don't promise that" I said quietly "my life is unpredictable.

When Sasuke starts to fall for her first what exactly will he do? Will he confess? Will he just not tell and await from being hurt? {MODERN DAY TWIST} Side Note: I wrote this when I was 10, so there are many spelling errors, grammar issues involved in the first few chapters so I'm going to go ahead and finally edit them. {Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Naruto Shippuden. Also whatever art is put in the story I have not made. Also I did not make up the name Sayuri Masato, I have only made up the characters personality.} Side Note 2: The book still has many errors and I will not edit them. This book was a struggle for me to complete and to continue to write. I plan on leaving it as it is. You can tell what has been edited and what was of my old writing style. This book was a burden to me, I wanted to just end it and not go back to my grammar errors so I can just leave this book behind in the past. This book was very hectic to "finish" I know a lot of you may not understand but as a writer it takes passion to write a book and there was no passion left.
