I don't own Naruto

A child ran across the field, reaching a giant tree. His face smirked as his lips moved. The words he made out was, "They'll be amazed the next time they see me..." the little blonde boy said with a smirk on his face. His face concentrated, his hands entwined, forming a single seal as his cocky smirk never left his face. He stared up at the tree before dashing forward. His foot made contact with the bark, his legs moved up one at a time as his smile never left him. Higher, higher, he went high on top of the giant tree with that confident smirk...then, he lost control. No longer was he smirking, all he saw was the blue skies until he fell further down, the trees blocked his view. He didn't know if he was screaming, all he did was try to take control...it didn't work. He turned around in mid air, his eyes tearing as he saw the hard dirt in front of him...then he saw no more.

"Ah!," a ninja woke from his nap, his body sweating, his mouth panting as his eyes stared wide and terrified at his dream. His hand slowly covered his face before sliding into his golden blonde hair, he looked up towards the sky, wondering what that dream could have meant.

Twenty four year old Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, Wind Master, 6th Hokage of Konoha, number one bachelor and son of the 4th Hokage. He had awoken from another strange dream he had been receiving lately. As he sat on top of the Fourth Hokage's monument, he had to shake his head. Many wars had taken place, many events had occurred, and many friends lost. Every day, he had been doing the same thing, looking out the village, dreaming, and pondering what he had left.

The wind around Naruto grew thick before there was a small explosion of cloud with leaves, and a feminine figure appeared looking not too pleased, "Lord Hokage, why aren't you at your office!" The new figure screamed.

"Hmmm" Naruto hummed out, not really paying attention to her.

A small twitch appeared as she clenched her fists, her eyes closed as she slowly raised it.

'Why did I take this job again?' she thought.

Smacking the Hokage's head she spoke in a calmer voice, "Naruto, you still have meetings to go to, papers to sign, and village matters to clear up. Sir, you are needed at your office."

Naruto's head hung low as a bump appeared. Slowly he stood up, chuckling on his way; he grabbed his Hokage hat and placed it on his head. "Hai, hai, Tenten. Thank you for telling me, I don't know what I'd do without you." With that said he flashed away in a golden light.

Tenten sighed, "Naruto…" She sat down were Naruto was. "I only took this job because you needed me, we've lost almost all our friends and the ones who are alive aren't the same anymore." She looked ahead in gloom at the thoughts. "I love you like a brother Naruto…please be ok."

In a blink of an eye, like a lightning flash, Naruto appeared down a street. His hands in his pockets, his eyes distracted as he walked down a familiar path while voices whispered into his ears, reminding him of what once was.

Flashback

"Do you hear them as I do?" His red eyes glowed through the dark shadows, his voice hoarse, dead, and tired.

"Sasuke?"Naruto said while staring at what could be mistaken as a shade from the underworld.

"Do you Naruto, do you hear them too." He said again, same unchanging voice, but Naruto new there was a sort of desperation in it.

"Sasuke, what are you talking about?" Naruto stood back, he didn't want to hurt his friend, only to help.

"No, no of course you don't, I should have known." Sasuke spoke again, insane evident in his eyes; clutching onto his head he continued. "These voices won't leave me alone Naruto, they won't. They talk to me, they whisper, they cry. They scream to me and call my name. They are ghosts Naruto, the ones that haunt you each day, they never leave you…how do I end this?"

"Sasuke, come back with me, back to Konoha. We can help you, you can stop being alone. Your brother is dead and Orochimaru is really gone, you can come home, to friends." Naruto spoke softly. It was apparent Sasuke's thirst for vengeance combined with the addicting powers of the curse seal finally snapped his already fragile mind after the death of Itachi.

"Friends?" he said the word foreign to his tongue, "No, that's not it." He drew his sword and aimed it towards Naruto. "Will you give it to me Naruto will you give me what I need"

"Don't do this Sasuke," Naruto spoke desperately as his hands reached to his sides, receiving the kunais from his pouch, "I don't want to fight you, I want to help."

"THEN HELP ME, NA-RU-TO!!" emotion finally shown in his voice as he emphasized the blonde's name. Sasuke dashed forward, towards Naruto; his eyes showed the Uchiha was aiming to kill.

"SASUKE!!"Naruto ran to meet him in battle.

End flashback

He stopped in a familiar section of a street. A once proud section of an extinct clan before Naruto turned away, moving forward.

The wind master placed his hands in his pocket as his Hokage robe flapped in the wind. If he listened, there was a quiet voice, like a singing spirit in the wind…or for others, little whispers.

"….H-hi Naruto…" her voice that usually greeted him, beckoned him to listen.

With the wind blowing, his legs stopped, his head turned to the sides before spotting a familiar mansion that once held a person who believed in his ninja way.

…She always had a crush on you Naruto, ever since the academy…

A person stood out from the double doorways made out of wood and paper. She was young, her face almost matched her father's but it was more feminine. Her hair style matched that of her sister's and her eyes, they were the same white ones that he used to get lost in. It was Hanabi, he knew her face was masked. With her sister gone, she was the next in line to become the heir of the Hyuuga.

…Naruto, I believe in you and our ninja way…..

She spotted him, giving a curt nod as Naruto smiled sadly and nodded back before moving away.

…Yes, I think I am in love with someone; he's strong, brave, and never gives up…

"I'm so stupid," he told himself, shaking his head as he pulled his robe closer to him when it suddenly became cold.

"…N-Naruto...I don't have much time…"

Naruto remembered that day and heard it in the same voice that would haunt him forever.

…I love you…

He exited and flashed away into a forest clearing, finding the afternoon sun rays' warmth a welcome change before settling under one of the giant trees. "Sasuke, I think I know what you mean. I can hear voices too," he talked to himself as his hands suddenly found themselves playing with a familiar blue necklace "Not just her voice, but every ones and I can hear yours too."

He sat underneath the tree and stared through the leaves on top as the sun shined upon them, leaving shades on his face and around his area. 'I can just stay here but I wonder what would happen? Who else waits for me to return? Just let me rest a little, just for a bit.' His eyes fell heavy, "I wish, they were here," he whispered, remembering his friends and parties filled with laughter, "If only I had done something…" he whispered again as he was soon taken into a deep sleep.

Somewhere, in a world filled with thousands of orbs, a figure stood in front of a certain one. Her skin was as white as the room around her as she stared into the orb where a blonde boy was laying on the floor in a puddle of blood. She shook her head sadly before turning to another orb, one where a blonde regretful man who slept under a tree made his wish. She smiled as if an idea occurred to her.

"….I wonder…" she said. Her pale white hands glowed with yellow energy as she placed it on the orbs, "Even with the added help, I had given up on this world after seeing its future but maybe you can make a difference," she zoomed in on the blonde ninja, "Come Naruto, another adventure awaits you, but don't worry, you won't be alone…."

….Come Naruto…

The Six Hokage twitched in his sleeping form before yellow and white glows of energy engulfed him, and he disappeared in the wind.
