A Day of Loneliness
Even matured, Naruto would still always be an outcast. He had lost his mentor, the man he considered an uncle to Pein. He had trained hard to become a hero, to destroy the Akatsuki Organization, and destroy Pein once and for all. But still, even with all of these accomplishments he would still be alone. He would forever remain alone... to live a life of darkness, hatred, loneliness, sorrow, pain... even behind all the smiles, he was still a loner.
His dream that he proclaimed as a child was vastly slipping from him, disappearing into the darkness that was his life. No one would ever consider him a leader. Not even the village he has saved countless times would ever want him to be their next leader. They would rather see him lynched. He was better off dead than be praised "The Hero Who Slain Akatsuki".
So, it was on the eve of midnight, as the clock strikes twelve that his eighteenth birthday finally arrived. Yet another birthday where he would be truly alone with no one to love him... and Naruto would simply remain awake, silent tears escaping him.
"Who would ever love me...?"
He received no answer to the sorrow that surrounded him.
"Who would ever care for me...?"
Again, no answer...
"No one," he answered himself, "no one cares for me. No one loves me. And no one would ever give me the recognition I deserve..."
With these dark, depressing, and suicidal thoughts, Naruto found little sleep.
I am better off dead, like the village wishes...
=0=0=
Naruto avoided the outside like a plague, and if he was to ever step out, it was for few things. But, nonetheless, it was yet another unhappy birthday for Uzumaki Naruto... outcast, orphan... Jinchuuriki... It was an hour before the start of the festival and he would have to make himself disappear completely lest he allowed some villagers rile him up again.
"Naruto!"
Naruto turned around, to see Sakura run up to him.
"Hey, Naruto, how are you?"
"... I'm fine..."
Sakura huffed a bit. "Now don't be like that."
"Why?"
Sakura noticed a cold feeling in that response.
"Why should I? I had enough of all of the bullshit that I have to call my life... I'm tired of it all..." he turned around, and looked at Sakura hard, barely able to contain his KI, "I had it with all of these sinners, the liars, these hypocrites, the parasites... I'm through. From now on, Sakura... the Naruto you thought you knew, is dead..."
With that, he turned around and left her there, stunned, along with Ino who was outside the flower shop when this happened. An old woman snarled at Naruto, but he once again shocked the two kunoichi but kicking the cane form the old woman's grip, thus sending her tumbling to the ground and also spilling her eggs, bread, and other fragile items such as the glass bottles of milk. He vanished via Shunshin.
Naruto reemerged elsewhere, and scowled. "I have done everything for those bastards, and they still treat me like a fucking joke..."
The next day, the village was up in arms when Naruto's house suddenly exploded. When Tsunade arrived, all she found was a hitai-ate with a deep gash across the metal, and a shattered necklace. Uzumaki Naruto has gone rogue...
