Looking on Naruto's jaw trembled as he looked on at the sight before him. He watched on as two people unknown that he was watching them were talking. The pink haired girl talking to the black haired boy telling him how she loved him and wanted to be with him through everything standing by his side no matter where he went. Grabbing hold of him and hugging him as tears went down her face.

He watched on as Sakura Haruno hugged Sasuke Uchiha tears going down her face.

His jaw trembled and his teeth clenched gritting against each other as he looked on at the sight of the two. Looking on at them the two unaware that he was there and seeing what was happening between them. He had gone to find Sakura, to tell her how he truly felt about her and that he would do anything to make her happy.

And now he saw her in the arms of the person he did not want her to be with. She should be in his arms!

Was this a joke? A cruel sick joke played by The Heavens themselves? Did they get amused and a kick performing these right in front of him? As if they knew his feelings for the girl and they did this to spite him.

He did not want to believe what he saw was happening, he wanted to wake up right now and find himself in bed and this all just to be a bad dream. But try as he might, Naruto found himself not waking up.

"This can't be…" He said hoarsely as he looked on at them. Watching Sakura hugging Sasuke telling him how much she loved him.

Having enough of the sight before him which seemed as though to mock him, he turned and walked away fury coursing through his veins.

As he left he was unaware of Sasuke knocking Sakura out and laying her on a bench and departing on his own.

Naruto walked through Konoha anger growing inside his body at what he just witnessed. Sasuke, he always got what he wanted in the end. He always had and always will get whatever he wanted no matter what. He knew he shouldn't really be surprised at it but he had hoped, he had prayed that Sakura would come around and realize that he actually cared for her and would do anything for her no matter what.

He loved her, he had showed her that he was more than what she thought he was and had always been beside her encouraging her even when she felt like giving up. He wanted to be with her. Every time she fell to her knees he would always rush to help her up, every time she felt sad he would do anything he could to make her smile.

"But of course, Sasuke gets whatever the hell he wants." Naruto said with a bitter smirk. "No matter what it is, he'll always get it." He said angrily. "And he's gotten Sakura as well. The girl that I wanted to be with and would've done anything to be with her!" He said as rage burned inside him. A fire was growing inside of him, burning him up.

He walked through the place a scowl on his face that was growing with each passing second as his mind replayed what he saw. Her in his embrace, leaning on him for support. By now they were probably kissing each other and telling they love one another. Naruto's hands clenched into fists as he leapt up onto a rooftop and stared out across his home. This had always been a hobby of his, to go to the rooftops and look out across the Village and his Home. To see what was before him.

But as he looked around now, he was feeling something that he hadn't felt before, when he looked out on the rooftops or from the monument he would feel at peace, but now, sadness was in it after what he had saw happen back there.

As he looked on watching them go about their lives he noticed somebody walking. It was Shikamaru, his classmate. Naruto watched on as Shikamaru was walking a bored look in his eyes his hands lazily tucked in his pockets. But Naruto wasn't looking on at Shikamaru, he was looking on at what he had on that caught his attention.

Shikamaru had a vest on, a green vest that symbolized him as a Chunin of Konoha as he had been selected to be promoted to the rank of it at The Exams.

A rank that should be his in Naruto's eyes. Shikamaru didn't deserve it. He hadn't won his match, he had given up for pete's sake! He didn't even want to participate in the Exams the entire time and was practically dragged and forced into competing in it by his mother and team. Naruto had defeated Neji when nobody ever thought he would and had written him off as having already lost. He had shocked everyone when he had done it going against the odds. As well as defeating Gaara and saving them all. He was more than worthy of becoming Chunin after what he had done!

But of course, he had been denied it. Gotta make sure to keep the demon from getting power. No way would they let a monster such as himself be allowed to be Chunin. He sniffled a bit as a tear went down his face.

He had heard them, the remarks given to him behind his back when they believed he didn't hear it. How as a child when he would try to play with other kids their parents would run up and yell at him and tell him to keep away from them. How at The Academy, with the exception of Iruka, none of the Instructors bothered to help him when he needed aid on problems or assignments. Iruka had helped him, but he was only one man and his time was limited with him as he could only do so much.

It wasn't fair, none of it was. He had done everything that was asked of him. He always did the right thing. He always did what was best. He always tried to be his best. In the vain hope that someday perhaps, they would accept and cheer him and that Sakura would like him back. They had grown to become friends, but he wanted more out of it. He wanted to go beyond the word of friend, much more.

But none of that shit mattered did it?

He never got any rewards, he was never thanked, he never received gratitude. Nothing…each time he walked away empty handed no matter what he did.

He looked over The Hidden Leaf Village, his hand slowly shaking before balling into a fist. The look of sadness on his face had been transformed into that of fury.

"I saved them. I saved this place. All of them, all of their worthless miserable lives are still alive because of me. It's because of me this place is still standing." Naruto whispered his voice turning into a growl as he looked on at the place. "I should've let Gaara slaughter them all." He said venom pouring in his voice as he looked on. "They don't care. None of them care what I go through. What I do for them. They just think I'm a demon. A monster on a leash for them to use. When his damn brother came back, did they care about what would happen to me? That I would die if they got me? No, they only cared about him and having Tsunade brought back to save his ass." He said as nobody cared about his fate. Only Sasuke was the only thing that mattered.

"I'm leaving…I've had it." He said as he reached up and removed his hitai-ate and threw it to the ground. "I'm done."

His hitai-ate fell below hitting the ground with a silent clang.

Kakashi walked through the silent streets by himself. The masked Jonin Sensei of Team 7 went through Konoha taking a stroll as he went. The Shinobi looked up high at the moon which was half full tonight.

As he looked on he suddenly heard footsteps that caught his attention and bringing his head down looked on and saw a figure.

"Naruto," He said as he looked on at the blonde haired boy who was walking down the street before him. Naruto didn't say anything other than a brief nod of his head as he continued to walk. As he did, Kakashi noticed something that was missing on him. That which stuck out on him.

"Where is your hitai-ate?" Kakashi asked him honestly surprised that he wasn't wearing it as his forehead was exposed.

"I felt like not wearing it for a change." Naruto said to him. "Is there a new law put in place that I must always have it on?" He asked a sarcastic tone in his voice. "Now if you excuse me I have stuff to do." He said as he moved past him

"Alright then," Kakashi said to him dropping it. "If you ever need anything let me know if you got anything you want to discuss."

"Actually," Naruto spoke up as he turned around. " Now that you've mentioned it; There is something I need to discuss with you." He told The Jonin. "I've got some questions, some questions that I should have asked you a long time ago."

"Oh?" Kakashi said to him

"Yeah, something that looking back I should've immediately asked you instead of not doing anything." He told him and Kakashi wasn't liking the burning look in his eyes that was there.

"Okay then, ask away."

"For starters:" Naruto began. "Sensei, why wouldn't you check on me when Orochimaru put that seal on me in The Forest of Death hindering me from using my Chakra and putting me at a handicap? Sensei, why didn't you give me any info on Kiba's fighting style so I'd know how to dodge his attacks? Sensei, why didn't you tell me the importance of The Kage Bushin? Kakashi, when did you decide to hate me?" He asked on and surprised Kakashi at his last question.

"I have never hated you Naruto. What made you possibly think like that?" Kakashi said stunned that he would say that.

"You have a funny way of showing that you care about me then." Naruto told him.

"I will admit I've made some mistakes when it came to you Naruto and shouldn't have done so." Kakashi said to him. "But I never had any intention of making you feel unwelcome or unappreciated."

"It's a bit late to say that don't you think?" Naruto responded to him and Kakashi looked on at him

"C'mon, let's get some ramen, my treat. That will cheer you up." He said and turned to walk

"Is that it? Naruto asked him and Kakashi turned back around. "That's all you think will settle things and make me feel better? A bowl of Ramen? You seriously think that will somehow fix everything? Newsflash Kakashi, I actually like other foods and want something else for a change instead of eating that all the time." He told him gritting his teeth in anger.

"Naruto, what's gotten into you?"

Naruto growled loudly remembering what he had just seen. "It's Sasuke! He got whatever he wanted as usual! He got the love of Sakura!" He said to him.

"I see," Kakashi said understanding. "I'm sorry, I know you greatly cared about her Naruto."

"I love her!" Naruto claimed to him. "I've been in love with her since I first laid eyes on her when I was little! She's the one I want to be with, who I want to spend life together with, but Sasuke stole her away from me! As usual, he gets whatever he wants all the time!"

Kakashi looked on at him seeing how hurt he was, what he had seen having broke his heart.

"There's other girls you know Naruto, Sakura's not the only one in the world. Like Ayame, Hinata or even Ino. I'm sorry, but sometimes in life you don't get what you-" Kakashi's lone eye widened at the rock chucked at him and turned his head just dodging it.

"Next time I'm not missing." Naruto told him

"Naruto, stop this now."

"Or what?"

"I'm getting tired of this real quick Naruto. Grow up and face what has happened instead of acting like a child throwing a tantrum." Kakashi said voicing his displeasure.

"You'd never say that to the Uchiha would you?" Naruto responded to him. "No, of course not. You and those other pricks gave him everything. All I ever hear is how much SASUKE suffers, all the pain SASUKE goes through and how noble he is. If I have to listen to one more second of how bad his life is, I swear I'll cut off my own ears! You catered to his every whim no matter how outrageous it was, but if I even ask for a scrap of bread, I get treated like a leper by you and everyone else. If our positions were reversed right now with me with Sakura no doubt you'd come and tell me to let Sasuke have Sakura just so he can be happy, wouldn't you? I've suffered far more than he ever has thanks to that bastard Mizuki revealing to me about The Kyuubi and why I was ostracized this whole time, and not once did anyone try to help me. Some actually had the audacity to claim that it was him that defeated Gaara! No! It was me! I defeated Gaara! I saved Konoha! And not one single thanks did I get in return, not even from you!" He accused him. Naruto wasn't holding anything back now, rage had overwhelmed him and he felt nothing but disdain. Disdain at all his surroundings and the entire world. "It's been like this ever since my worthless deadbeat father, whoever he is, gave me away."

"Naruto, you know nothing at all about your father."

"I know he probably gave me to The Yondaime for a bottle of cheap sake in exchange, probably because being a parent was beneath him. And my mother? She's nothing more than one of the whores in the Red Light District that worthless pervert frequents. Great Sannin alright, so great he'd rather spend his time peeping on girls young enough to be his Granddaughter than help his student! I didn't ask for any of this, if I knew this was gonna be in store for me in life, maybe it would've been better if I was born dead." He said bitterly.

"How could you possibly say that?!" Kakashi exclaimed shock that he would voice such thoughts

"Oh, now you start showing concern for me for once?" Naruto asked him feigning surprise.

"You're a terrible teacher, you've done nothing for me!" He accused Kakashi his body trembling. "I once admired you but now, all I see now is a pathetic fool who still cries over his daddy killing himself. Not once Kakashi, have you ever gone by your set of 'rules' that you preach. For someone who talks about the importance of them, whenever its time to put up, you come up short like you always have. I honestly don't know who between you and Jiraiya I have learned less from. You're nothing but dog shit the way I see it. You even went and claimed a move I created on my own in The Exams was nothing more than a knock off of Sasuke's but when he stole Lee's move you praised him! My own move and you go and pull that stunt right in front of everyone else!" He accused as angry tears welled up in his eyes remembering it, his first real move he had made all on his own when he fought Kiba and it was dismissed as nothing more than a cheap copy. "I see now that listening to you will never help me get what I desire."

"And what do you desire?" Kakashi asked looking on at him as he felt hate from his body. It wasn't the Kyuubi, no, it was Naruto's own rage radiating off of him.

"Everything!" Naruto responded to him. "Respect, Power, Prestige, Love, I want it all! That which everyone else gets hand over fist without ever having to do anything to deserve it is what I want as well! Nobody is going to stand in the way of what I desire, I'll kill anyone who dares to try and stop me even you."

"What would Sarutobi think of you acting like this? How could you sound so selfish?"

"He didn't think anything of me when he was alive did he?" Naruto snapped back at him. "He didn't do anything for me. Just gave me a rat filled cesspool of an apartment. And maybe for once in my life, I should be selfish! After all, being selfish has worked pretty well for everyone else, because apparently nice guys do finish dead last!"

"Naruto calm down," Kakashi said trying to get through to him. "I know you're upset over what's happened with Sasuke and Sakura, but acting this way is only going to make things worse."

"If you don't like how I'm acting, I got good news for you then, I'm leaving." Naruto said to him. Kakashi looked on at him and saw that this was no joke. "I'm done, I'm tired of getting nothing in return. I've sacrificed everything and not once has things gone my way for a change. As long as I stay here I'll never achieve any of my dreams."

"Naruto, stop this."

"No!" Naruto said back to him. "I'm leaving and there's not a thing you can say to make me change my mind."

"You would honestly turn your back on Konoha?"

Of course not," Naruto answered him. "Its hard to turn your back on someone when they did it to you first." He spat out with vile in his voice. "I'm leaving, and on the day I do come back, I will kill whoever is Hokage at that time and take the title myself even if by some chance its you."

"Are you threatening Konoha?"

"No, it's not a threat, not a threat to them at all, it's a promise."

Kakashi disappeared and reappeared beside him and jabbed him in the neck to render him unconscious. To his surprise Naruto only smiled.

"The one chance you had to prove me wrong...and you blew it." He said before poofing in a cloud of smoke. At that Kakashi's eye widened as he realized what it meant.

"NARUTO!" He shouted realizing he had been tricked and that Naruto was long gone.
