.:Breaking The Kitsue's Heart:.
Something behind his mask
1
There had always been part of Uzumaki Naruto that wonderd if trying so hard was worth it. Did the few people who came to accept him realy outwiegh all the shit hes been through in his life? Questions such as these were ofter not given a chance to dwell in the blond ninja's mind for long. He pushed them out, relishing in the company of those 'friends' that he considerd some sort of family. Never had he even dwelled on the thoughts, dissmissing them as just some sort of negitivity formed by stressfull scheduling.
Tsunade-obaa-chan works me too hard! Would it kill the old hag to cut me some slack every once in a while? I know Im a ninja but come on...
Said ninja was currently leaning on the small bridge that was team 7's traditional meeting place. Sasuke and Sakura might have been there too, but the blond was too immersed in his own thoughts to notice his teammate's presence.
Today he was acctualy letting the so-called 'Negitive' thoughts swamp his mind. Often the thoughts were brought up by a certain deamon resideing within Naruto. Plauging him with harsh sinarios that, though he never would admit, sounded almost reasnoble.
Why do you bother? Look at them. Youve been around for 13 years and still, only two or three people even bother to look at you? None of them care, realy. If they did, why would it have taken so long for there acknowlagement? You know Im right, Kit.
Naruto closed his eyes halfway and leaned further against the railing of the bridge. Part of him... a deep part that he disliked others to see, was slowly chipping through his cheerfull mask.
Im not saying you have a piont. You dont. I just hadent tryed hard enough, thats all. I dident give enough efort.
Do you see any of them having to use any effort to get acknowlagement? Iie. Of course not. Especialy the Uchiha.
What about Sasuke-teme? Whats he got to do with it?
Oh please. Like you dident notice. Of course you know what Im talking about. Uchiha turned traitor and abandond the village, but once he steps a toe back inside the gates, immeadiatly all is forgiven and they all love him again.
So? I dont care.
Usostuki. Even though it was you who brought back there presiouse Uchiha, just like you promised the Pink haired kunoichi, your still nothing but a deamon that should be killed. And thats all.
Shut up...shut up!
The fox laughed deeply at the blond inside his mind.
Latly the Kyuubi's points had become more and more realistic in terms of believability. It was speaking the truth after all, no matter how cold it was deliverd, the fox spoke some form of truth.
The words spoken made Naruto's outer mask crack further. His eyes lost there mischeviouse glint and become empty. Void was any hopedull light that sparkled inthe swirling crystal blue orbs.
It made Naruto uneasy to finaly relize that in some twisted way... the Kyuubi made scence.

Sakura stood next to her black-haired team-mate with her hands on her hips.
"Hes going to be late again as usual. You'd think someone with as prestiegouse a name as him would at least try and be punctual." she griped.
"You should ave gotten used to him being late by now." Sauke said, getting rather annoyed at her bitching.
True, Kakashi was only on time once in a blue moon and even rarer was he to show up ahead of schedual. But, as the Uchiha put it, it should have been gotten used to by now.
It was after ten minutes of relitive silence that the two teenagers started to relise that something was odd.
It was quite...and yet Naruto was right in front of them.
Sakura frowned slightly.
"Sasuke-kun... do you know whats up with Naruto? Hes...quiet." she asked the sharingan wielder quietly so the blond couldent hear. Sasuke shruged.
"How the hell should I know. I say its an improvment. Your always complaining that hes too loud anyway, now that hes not your all upset?" he said, shoving his hands in his pokets. Sakura looked at her blond team mate.
True, I always told Naruto to keep quiet... I jsut didnet think Quiet Naruto would look so...so...
Sakura found herself unable to describe Naruto in the state he was curently in, leaning against the bidge railing, gazing down at the water rushing past. She felt herself shiver slightly when she looked at his eyes.
They seemed to be ice cold and empty....
Were those realy Naruto's eyes?
Though he would nver say it or admitt to it out loud, Sasuke was thinking along those same lines. He had seen Naruto sad befor. But that was an occasion he disliked recalling. The stand off in which the result was him getting some scence knocked the fuck back into him by Naruto. Sasuke hated remembering what little of the fight he could, wich was maily jsut the two exchanging words. Harsh words on the Uchiha's part.
I dont get it. Whys the dobe all depressed about now? I thought he was supposed to be all cheery now that Im back and not leaving. What the hell in going on in his mind? Kami I thought only I had eyes capable of looking like that. There so empty... no.. no those eyes are worse than mine...what the fuck is wrong with you, ya dobe?
For the first time sice meeting the hyperactive blond ninja, both Sasuke and Sakura saw behind the mask.
