The yellow moon was full and beautiful to look at, bringing many admirers, and yet the watching pre-teen couldn't understand how it was so captivating or beautiful. The moon was unfeeling, and selfish, keeping most of his light for himself. Everyone always and forever more would admire him, and watch him with adoring, loving, worshiping eyes, even when he changed his many cycles, yet it was the same cruel, cold, selfish and easily angered. Not caring of those who watched with an out stretch hand and a hopeful smile on the face reaching towards him. The moon just ignored such pleas for his attention, keeping silent and mysterious. Bringing even more admirers to watch, even those who would love to pretend that they're not affected by the moon. They rejoiced the most when he was full, mourning and complaining when it was missing from their view, going as so far to waist the day, awaiting the night, so that they could greet the moon into the sky.

 

The observing teenager couldn't just understand how the moon could be so enchanting. Oh, don't get him wrong, he too was enchanted with the moon, but he didn't show it to the others, he knew the moon had faults, but his mourning and sorrow went to the one who needed it, to the sun.

 

Sure everyone was aware of the sun, but most ignored him, unless he was too bright or hot then they complained. And if the light he gave off was cold, cold as the sun could possibly be, then the sun was insulted and complained about. He was always not wanted or saw as pathetic burden not doing his weight. The sun could do nothing to please anyone, and for the first time since he had met his first friend and father-like figure… the sun thought of giving it up. Stop trying to please everyone, stop trying to be acknowledged by everyone, and stop…stop trying to make his dream come alive. It was becoming too foggy for the sun's light to shine though, and the sun was sick of burning, so sick that he was ready to burn out.

 

Everything the sun did was stupid. Tried to hard or too little, there was nothing the he could do that was good enough. It could never be better or even equal to the moon. Every mistake gave more light to the moon as it corrected them, even if it was a small one. More praise and attention to one, who never needed it, never appreciated at, and worse never wanted it. Not like the sun that would do anything for a single glance, a single smile, no matter how small. Just one real smile, one real warm glance. That wasn't full of spite or malice, but of kindness and acknowledgement that he was loved if not liked.

 

A bitter laugh strangled cry came from the sun kissed blonde spiky haired teenager's mouth, as he realized his thoughts had automatically found the comparison as he thought of the sun and the moon. The teenager had automatically refereed to the moon as a he, indicating Sasuke, and he had done the same with the sun, only the he, was himself. The sun was Naruto, the dobe…the demon…the wasted space.

 

Leaning against the tree, as his body rested on the tallest-yet strong branch, the teenager looked up carefully at the moon, his cerulean blue eyes filled with a grief and a wariness that normally one held when they were at the end of their life, not just about to reach their prime.

 

The moon shone coldly back against the teenager's face, lighting up his delicate elfin features. Only with three scars on both his cheeks like whiskers, and yet instead of marring it, it made him even more beautiful. His eyes were a deep shade of blue, it wasn't just sky blue, or if it was then it was the star space blue. You know when it's day light and you have rare sight of stars during the day, and yet where the sky around the stars are a darker shade of blue, even though it was a deep sky blue. They were clear, yet instead of the usual smile in his eyes they were lost, and had a betrayed, yet tired look to them, one that should have been in the eyes of someone so young, and also held one of self disgust. The teenager's name was Naruto. There was a part of him that wondered if he enjoyed pain, so much that he would continually ignore the intelligent part of his brain that had been screaming at him.

 

He should have realized that for all Kakashi pretended, he wasn't equally fair or even impartial. Sasuke was his golden boy, or would it be dark shadow. They were a lot alike he guessed. And besides the entire town loved Sasuke and the majority despised Naruto. Naruto knew he was lucky that Kakashi had at least waited for the Chuunin exam before bailing out on them for Sasuke. He probably would have felt pity or sympathy for Sakura, had she not been as cruel to him as of late.

 

Yet even the attraction he felt for her was gone, he didn't want any part of it any more. It hurt him too much, as he knew with himself having competed against Lee and Sasuke had had lost, or had already not even been competition. He was betting on the latter.

 

Sighing, Naruto decided enough was enough. Shaking his head from past memories, he was now a ninja, and for the sake of those who do care for him, alive and for those who died, he would prove himself worthy of being a ninja. Zabuza had once said that the Leaf Village had no true ninja's, while he wasn't sure if he could ever take a life, even the worst kind, he sure as hell would train harder than ever. As Haku had once done, he too would do.

 

Instead of just training to be recognized, for he doubts that anyone would accept him as Hokage, though he refused to give up that dream maybe in time he would be it was still a dream he would reach, but that dream was now secondary.

 

His first most goals were that he would protect those who he loved, even if they didn't love him. For love wasn't `I'll love you if your good to me', but just love them all the time. Sasuke, Kakashi, Iruka, Hinita, Lee, Jiraiya, Konohamaru, Neji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Tentan and Tsunade. Yet, he would train for them. That was his new dream, he would be the strongest to train for them, and also he would keep his word to Neji and Lee. He would change the village forever, breaking the old tradition of following blood lines. That was why he was willing to leave his home and train for three years, to an unknown destination.

 

Closing his eyes once more, he allowed a soft, sorrowful smile. He would shine one more time…he would shine until the light burned out. For good.
