Chapter Text
(—Bad days leave the sky blue—)
It was a normal early morning in Konoha, the sun spilling over the rooftops as the wind blew through the village it was noiseless before the break of dawn some town folks beginning to wake up, ready to start their day, including a specific someone. “Mmh..” the boy with blonde hair muttered his eyes fluttering open struggling to stay awake… “oh no.. IM GONNA BE LATE!”
He yelled scrambling to find his clothes. Naruto runs out the door, still buttoning his shirt. “Damn that stupid alarm”he says running along in late fashion, almost forgetting about the normal amount of eyes staring him down with a grim look.
He continues to sprint not paying attention to his surroundings leading him to accidentally bumping into somebody a lot taller then him making
He stumbles to the floor hurting his hands from the fall. “Ow ow oh! I’m so sorry are you oka-?“
“Watch where you’re going!” The women growled, glaring down at him creating a shadow over him in a scary manner. “. . I’m sorr-“ shut it!. You’re that troublemaker kid I don’t even wanna hear another word!” You need to learn manners she says, continuing to rant and complain about bumping into strangers.
Naruto still on the floor his expression going unreadable
Mutters “I am really sorry ma’am I-…” a hard fast blur hits Naruto’s face fast and roughly immediately causing a lot of sudden pain. The second it dropped to the floor Naruto knew what it was.. a rock. He thought staring down at the rock and then up at the new face whom looks even more upset than the lady. grumbles in pain clutching his right eye. “What do you think you’re doing near my wife kid!, everyone knows who you are!” The guy yelled. “I-I didn’t do anything wron-!” Naruto attempts to explain immediately getting cut off. “Shut up!” The lady yells continuing to cut him off when he tries to explain the situation. “Let’s get out of here babe. away from that
Monster! He has no parents no wonder he’s such a horrible and useless piece of human garbage.
…
Naruto’s eyes widen at the sentences.. he’s been called a lot of bad things throughout his life, but he feels like it keeps getting worse.. so many eyes are on him, so many people are staring, it feels worse,scary. Naruto’s
still holding his eye even as he quickly gets up, immediately sprinting the second he stands. He sprints into a dark alley. People still whispering and staring
. . .“really.. a useless monster?… Me? For what? Why..? What did I do wrong, why do I deserve this..” he stands in the alleyway, still in shock and agony from what just happened
he takes some deep breaths, trying to calm down so he could go to the training grounds he was already late for.. “they probably went without me..” Naruto mumbles to himself walking to the resonated spot his sensei told him and his group to go to. “Naruto!” A voice yelled out which was Sakura. You took so long even Kakashi got here before yo-“ “ notices him clutching his eye his hands roughed up, even bleeding in some spots. Sasuke and Kakashi stands watching the interaction, which has peaked their interest.
Naruto notices their eyes and smiles big though it seems odd? Almost different.. “Hey! Eh sorry I got into a bit of a predicament haha..” he says putting his scratched up hand down. Sasuke’s eyes slim clearly noticing something off with this mysterious incident happening to the sunshine of a kid he’s known for so long.
Kakashi spoke up “..Naruto what happened to your eye? And those hands.. did you get into a fight?.” He said walking closer to inspect. “No no of course not” Naruto says stumbling over his words, Sakura has a worried expression and Sasuke watches with an unreadable look.
Naruto gets a bit anxious of the staring but tries his best to keep cool. “I fell down while I was running because I was late ”he says forcing an awkward smile. Sakura nodded quickly, believing him as it sounds like something he’d do.
“Naruto you idiot you have to be more careful! I’ll go get ice and some ointment just in case of bacteria from the floor”.
“Kakashi Sensei can I be right back?” The girl with pink hair said, adjusting her position getting ready to turn around.
“Yes Sakura you can” he said still staring at Naruto with suspicion, but he decides not to push further as he seems uncomfortable with the situation. Kakashi speaks up once more“Since we can’t start without Sakura I will be back, im just going to get..uh a book okay? and Naruto we will be talking later” He says speeding off just leaving Naruto and Sasuke alone in tense silence.

“Naruto.” Sasuke says sternly. Naruto was zoned out but snapped back into focus after he called his name. “Huh.. what Sasuke ?”.. Sasuke gave a look before suddenly saying “are you going to actually say where you got that black eye from and those scratches, it’s obvious you were lying about tripping”
Naruto shifted his gaze to towards the floor off guard at his words. “It really isn’t that’s important” the joyful blonde said not so joyful but more gloomy then seen in a long time. Sasuke stepped forward out of the shady spot he was in before, the light hitting his face as the wind blows a bit harder. Sasuke’s eyes stay slim and ready for a real answer. “Just say it already.” The raven said his voice slightly different then normally.
“Naruto ?” Sasuke says again, though Naruto isn’t only not answering but is frozen and standing still without any movement. Staring down at the rocky training ground floor, the wind blows harsher once more making Sasuke notice something, a few tears flow off his face dropping in movement of the wind.
Sasuke has never seen him cry before he’s always been smiley and happy he wouldn’t have expected to see his tears on a random day. Naruto felt a wave of shame and embarrassment for tearing up upon even thinking about what happened, so he turned around and ran, didn’t turn didn’t look back, he just wanted to get out of there. Sasuke didn’t know what to do but stand there and watch as Naruto sprinted away blood dripping from his hands.
Naruto continues running till he turns the corner he goes through alleyway and shortcuts completely trying to avoid everyone and everything. He just wants to run home. “Huff almost home..” he thinks to himself, hopefully I don’t get in trouble for this..”
the second Naruto walks through his door, he jumps onto his bed just exhausted of the situations that happened in the past few hours. though he gets a knock on his door. “dang I just got home..” I don’t wanna answer… hmm he thinks for a moment.” I mean I don’t have to.. eh” he decides to not open the door, but the person on the other side keeps knocking.
