Naruto was in the hospital for a week because the nurses were concerned whether if he was going to repeat his actions. He tried explaining that he didn't cut his wrists on purpose, but since the nurses are known for his dream for becoming Hokage, it was hard to trust him. Naruto was finally released from the hospital on a regular Friday and his teammates from Team 7 greeted him outside. Sakura let out a sigh of relief, but noticed the tight bandages going up his arm.

"Naruto... maybe you should skip out early today, just for good measure", Sakura said, concerned filled her voice. Kakashi nodded in agreement, then both looked at Sasuke to see his decision.

"Don't look at me... Naruto, are you doing okay?"

"Yeah.. my wrists are a bit sore then usual.."

"Then no mission for you"

"WHAT?!"

The blonde made a shocked expression, and frowned. "So what if my wrists hurt, so what if  I get dizziness everynow and then?" Sakura and Sasuke's eyes widen at the last part.

"If you get dizzy spells then you definitely can't go", Sasuke says. Kakashi nodded. "You're not going on this mission, Naruto. That's an order".

Naruto sighed in defeat.

"Sasuke, walk Naruto home... when you are done, meet us at the Konoha gates", their sensei said. The raven nodded and gestures Naruto to follow. The blonde staggered but was able to keep up.

'Hey, Kit, is that your boyfriend?'

Naruto's face heated up.

'I wish...'

'Really?'

'No... what do you want damn fox?'

'I'll show you soon enough...'

Naruto swallowed hard, having a feeling that something of what Kyuubi meant was dealing with Sasuke. And he knew how bad he didn't want to hurt his comrades. Sasuke opened the door for him, and saw how Naruto was a bit concerned about something.

"Sasuke. Please leave... now.." Naruto says, his voice breaking.

"......"

"Go now. Please leave me alone..", Naruto said, his head beginning to hurt. Sasuke nodded and closed the door, heading over to the Hidden Leaf Gates. The blonde fell to his knees covered his ears.

'Kurama's dirty work again...'

He felt like he was hearing sounds, voicing from the past when he was a child.

"Demon brat!"

"Why is it always you?"

"Leave this village and die!"

"It's him again..."

"Why is he here?"

"You idiotic fool! Go kill yourself!"

Naruto groaned and bonked his head against the wall, his eyes welling up in tears.

"When is this gonna be over?"
