Brand New- The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot

-:Vile:-

He stood high up on the cliffs looking out over the valley from his normal spot. Anyone passing by would see a very attractive young blonde haired man with odd marks on his face. He was completely and utterly depressed. But if someone spoke to him they never seen past his acting skills. His mask of joyful, clueless indifference, and immaturity. The only time he ever let it slip was when he came here to be alone and think.

Naruto 'Well Sasuke I'm here again. But I still can't understand why you wanted this.'

Turning his azure eyes up from the water crashing over the rocks below him he stared off into the distance.
His gaze fixed on the opposite and distant side and forrest beyond it blankly.

Naruto 'I wonder, but doubt that you even care.'

------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke sat in the main training hall in sound with his head laid on a table. Various scrolls were scattered all around him. His long raven hair fanned out beneath and around his face. He felt the hair on the back of his neck rise up almost with an electric feeling. Like a soft lingering ghost of a real touch. He shuddered and heaved a dejected sigh. Even he had to admit he had made a huge mistake. One he doubted that he could ever correct.
Sasuke "God.. Why can't I just get away from and forget about him?"

Kabuto walked into the training room raising an eyebrow at finding the great Sasuke Uchiha talking to himself. Surprised even more so by finding him laying half over the table top. Any movement would set over a dozen scrolls rolling off. He looked like someone had put his clothes in a blender while he was still wearing them. Huge dark circles marred the pale flesh under his suddenly angry crimson eyes. Kabuto merely shook his head before voicing his thoughts out loud in amusement.

Kabuto "Maybe it's because deep down you really don't want to?"

Kabuto had a head start and took off out of the double doors running for all he was worth.
All the while ducking the kunai, shiruken, and scrolls that had been expertly pitched at his head.

He laughed and shouted over his shoulder "Hey don't get so pissy when someone tells you the truth Sasuke-kun!"

Sasuke growled and layed his head back on the table ignoring the falling scrolls.

Sasuke "SHUT IT KABUTO! NO ONE ASKED YOU FOR YOUR FUCKING OPINION!"

Dejectedly he went back to staring out the window with his head on the table top looking out at the river and distant forrest.

Sasuke 'Maybe he's right.. But I left more then just you laying broken on those rocks that day Naruto..'

Sasuke shook his head angry at himself "I'm a avenger. I had to.."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto sat beside Neji at mission hall tapping away on his computers keyboard filing completed mission reports. Finishing the one he had with a sigh he leaned back in his chair staring blankly up at the ceiling. Neji seen this from the corner of his eye and frowned.
Neji "Naruto?"

Naruto had instantly slapped on his smile mask looking at him making the white eyed brunettes frown even more pronouned.

Neji "Why do you do that?"

Naruto "Do what?"

Neji shook his head and sighed.

Neji "You know if you need someone to talk to all you have to do is call or ask and I'll be there. Same goes with the others."

Naruto fixed him with a forced smile and fake laugh.

Naruto "I know! Don't worry so much about me Neji, you'll get gray hair."

With an annoyed frown Neji went back to tapping away at his computer watching the blonde from the corner of his eye. He could'nt help but think about how he had ended up like this.

Neji 'Nothing anyone does will ever fix the rift that bastard tore in your heart it seems.'

-----------------------------------------------------------------

That evening Iruka was looking over some scrolls at the academy nodding. A earpiece phone clipped over the shell of his left earlobe. He paced back and forth as he scanned over the scrolls. Neji's voice in his ear.
Neji "It's been almost 3 years Iruka-sensei. It's like he's not even here anymore. Just haunting his own body and pretending to be alive."

Iruka swallowed hard. "You don't think he'd do anything stupid do you?"

Neji "Contrary to popular belief Naruto's NOT an idiot. But I don't know. He pushes everyone away. And half the time even Hinata and I have a hard time finding him when he sulks off. And he's good at hiding things."

Iruka sighed. "Where do you think he goes?"

Neji "Hinata and Kiba have trailed him too. They say he goes the same place I see him go. The Valley of End and when he's there he just stands up on the cliffs most of the time staring ahead blankly. He locks himself up in his apartment and does'nt come out for days on end when he does'nt have duty, training, or a mission. He never visits the dojos but trains alone miles from the village. The only people he'll train with are the sannin, or his other team mate. He's so quiet now that it even bothers me. No one knows what to think or do anymore."

Iruka "Well I'm stuck here for a bit. But Kakashi's around. I'll ask him to track Naruto down and see what the hell is going on when he gets the time."

Neji "I want my friend back."

Iruka hung his head frowning "He's like a little brother to me."

Neji "I blame Uchiha."

Iruka's grip on the scroll in his hand tightened his dark eyes flashing in rage. "Who does'nt?"
With that he hung up and dailed Kakashi's number from his desk.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke found himself wondering outside of sound more and more often at night because he could'nt sleep. As much as it annoyed Orochimaru he was never really punished for it. The snake sannin seemed bothered by his blank expression and lack of response most of the time. Sometimes he was angry, other times he just seemed to muse on the possible reasons why Sasuke was the way he was.
It was a slightly warm night with a huge storm that was blowing in from the west. It was the kind of night Sasuke loved the most. He paid no attention as he ran along the tree tops. When he finally did stop he could'nt help but shudder. And he immediatly regretted where his feet had unknowingly taken him. He stood staring out over the Valley of End from a carved cliff top.

When he noticed faint movement from the other side of the clearing he activated his sharingan.
His emotions were suddenly whirling within his dark troubled red eyes. Because he never expected to see anyone there. Much less who and what he was seeing. Hot guilty tears began to slide down his smooth pale cheeks. He stood frozen and gaping in horror and confusion, his heart aching.

Sasuke whispered to himself "How can you do this?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Itachi Uchiha was well hidden watching his targeted demon vessal with mild interest and annoyance. The blonde stood on top the carved cliff at the very edge with a blank expression on his normally dopey smiling face. He was good at avoiding him. And even better at slipping away just like the sly fox sealed inside of him now days. But he always returned to this place. Just why Itachi never could really figure out.
It was perhaps three in the morning. The moon high in the star strewn night sky. Storm clouds passing over with the coming storm making the landscape flicker into blackness from time to time. Itachi knew that his little brother had been one of his targets team mates and was ironically at the moment very close by. He also knew his brother had defected to join the snake sannin Orochimaru in hopes of gaining the power to kill him. From the things he learned gathering info about his target, he had'nt been the same since his foolish little brother left. And even more oddly the so called happy go lucky blonde became damn near impossible to track down half the time.

Itachi's eyes widened in disbelief as he watched the blonde sit down at the very edge of the cliff he had stood on.
Then promptly begin pulling all of his clothing off folding his things up and neatly shoving them into his backpack.

Itachi 'Just what are you upto now my little kitsune?'

He watched the blonde mutter to himself. Then as he began to suddenly drag his now clawed hands over his chest and arms. He forced himself to stay hidden watching the Kyuubi vessal make deep vicious cuts across his smooth tan flesh. Blood spilling from his body in alarming amounts to puddle around him. His head was bowed. The fringe of his long golden bangs shadowing his face from view. The cuts instantly healing as he was making them. Growling he frantically tore at himself. The faster he healed the more viciously he clawed into his tan flesh anywhere he could reach.

Dark red chakra began whirling around him scortching the ground. He raised his head tilting his face up at the moon overhead. Wind catching the tips of his shoulder length gold hair making it dance out behind him. The moonlight showing now sharp teeth cutting cruely into his soft pouty pink lips. Tears trailed across tan cheeks from his closed eyes. And when he finally opened them Itachi's breath hitched. Red slitted eyes spilled anguished tears over thick lashes to slide down over his dark whiskered cheeks.

Itachi thoughts caught him by surprise. 'His pain is beautiful.. He's is too..'

The blonde tilted his head back even farther then and done the last thing anyone would have imagined from him. He howled mournfully up at the moon and storming night like a heart broken and wounded animal. Thunder rumbled in the distance while lighting flicked across the sky and suddenly it too seemed to cry along with him.

Itachi was tempted to tilt back his own head and let his voice join in with the storm and blondes. The young man intrigued and captivated him. Something that no one else had ever managed to accomplish. As Naruto allowed the rain to wash away the proof of his pain. Itachi faded back into the shadows of the night. His red sharingan eyes reflecting a mass of swirling emotions. And for the first time in his life he was'nt sure of anything anymore.

Itachi 'It seems you've broken my mask Naruto. Now I want to break yours.'

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Early the next morning Naruto was sitting stiffly at his desk typing up mission report files. He was sore, irrate, grumpy, and more then a tad half asleep when Kakashi popped up behind him.
He sighed tiredly. "What do you want now Kakashi-sensei?"

Kakashi frowned beneath his mask. "Why would you assume that I want something?"

Naruto "Well it's either that or Iruka-sensei whined and asked you to come check up on me. I'm fine, tell him not to worry."

Kakashi's frown deepened. "I'm here because I wanted to hang out with you and train some. We're friends after all."

Naruto kept his back turned and resumed typing. "You meant former team mates. We both know we are'nt friends Kakashi-sensei. Pervert hermit's taking me out tomarrow. So don't trouble yourself with wasting time on training me. I have work to do now. And I'm sure you do as well. Please leave."

Kakashi felt like someone had kicked him in the heart and stared sadly in shock at the blondes slumped and defeated back.
He made his way outside silently and gazed up at the mountian monuments.

Kakashi 'I really messed up pushing you off and dismissing you Naruto. Not just you, but Sakura as well..'

Fixing his visable eye on the fourth's face he sighed 'I'm a really lousey teacher and friend sensei..'

Kiba shook his head watching the silver haired man leave. "That was a pretty harsh thing to say to him Naruto, he does care."

The blonde fixed him with a blank dead stare. "Caring or not it was the truth Kiba. And sometimes it really does hurt."

Kiba looked at him sadly. Akamaru whined from his spot between their feet under the desk.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura was bent over a scroll reading intently concentrating on the chakra gathered in her hands when Kakashi found her. Silently her watched her. She really had grown up alot. Not only as a woman but as a skilled medic and ninja as well. Seeing her brow furrowing in concentration he decided it was best to leave her alone. She was better off with whatever the hokage had her studying then anything he could come up with.
Kakashi 'I'll try to talk to her later when she's not working so hard on her training.'

He left just as silently as he had came.

Sakura coudld'nt help but shake her head and smile sadly. She had known he was there all along but choose not to acknowledge it.

Kakashi went to the acadamy passing Hinata on his way. The shy Hyuuga smiled at him before moving on with her arm load of scrolls. Her teacher and other team mate stood waiting patiently nearby. Kakashi shook his head with a sigh.

Kakashi 'I really envy you and your team Kurenai-chan.'

Walking into Iruka's empty class room he sat down to wait. He slumped over the desk extremely depressed putting his head in his hands. And he was still sitting like that five minutes later when Iruka came in.

Iruka took in the mans utterly defeated body language and sighed.

Iruka "Did'nt work did it? Did he at least talk to you?"

Kakashi raised his head from the desk top and looked at him sadly with his one exposed eye.

Kakashi "No it did'nt. And no he told me to go away and not to bother wasting my time on training him. I think he hates me."

Iruka "I don't think he hates anyone other then himself Kakashi. I'll try to talk to him later okay? So don't dwell on it."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

A week had passed and Sasuke could'nt focus on anything Orochimaru was saying to him. Which was'nt a good thing. With a wet slap with his toungue the sannin had sent him backwards to crash into a wall. Standing up on shaky knees he eyed the irate snake man warily.
Orochimaru spoke quietly and with a slight angry hiss. "Do I have your undivided attention now Sasuke-kun?"

Sasuke cringed "My apologies Orochmaru-sama."

Orochimaru smirked. "You're going to tell me what has you so rattled right now. Did you run into him?"

Sasuke shook his head. "No. Not him."

Slitted golden eyes narrowed. "Then who or what the hell did you see to regress two years of training useless in one night?"

Sasuke bowed. "I'm still not really sure myself."

Before he could lift his gaze the snake sannin had him by the hair pulling his head back almost gentley with a dark laugh. "Well I'll help you with that. Activate you're sharingan. We're going to play a little game of showing the truth yesss."

The next thing he knew he was standing back at the Valley of End again. Watching as the blonde tore into himself with his claws and howl at the moon and storming sky over and over again. When Orochimaru finally let him out of his own mind Sasuke could'nt help but shudder. And fall bonelessly at the mans feet trembling with effort to hold in his tears.

Orochimaru "Interesting. Very Interesting. And that man was on the other side watching as well, just so that you know."

Sasuke's blood felt frozen in his veins.

Orochimaru "I figure if he had asked at the time that boy would've gladly let him extract the demon killing him."

Sasuke remained motionless staring at nothing.

Orochimaru laughed and walked away. "Animals should'nt have to suffer. Someone ending his misery now would be a kindness."

And as he was going out the door he spoke over his shoulder "You're really good at breaking people Sasuke-kun.
After all that's what makes you so perfect for me."

Sasuke curled into a fetal position and stayed that way until Kabuto had found him hours later.
The annoyed silver haired medic made him get up and go to his rooms for the night to be out of the way.
