<u> See me for who I am… </u>

 

 

 

That night…

 

Naruto walks home to the house he shares with Sasuke, exhausted and hungry. He just got back from another yet successful mission.

 

Naruto, a young man of 16, has been promoted as an Anbu, a deadly rank in ninja status, who are ordered from the Hokage to hunt down Missing Nins, ninja's who ran away from their respected countries, or ninjas with terrible records that needs to be removed from the land of the living and disappear like they were never born.

 

The mission Naruto had just completed was hunting down a group of rogue nins from the Hidden Village of Grass.

 

The mission wasn't as hard as Tsunade-baba made it sound.

 

All he had to do was kill twenty-some ninjas (who were the most powerful ninjas in their country) on his own, retrieve the stolen scrolls (about fifteen of them), and wait for the Hunter nins from the Hidden Village of Wave to come dispose of the bodies forever.

 

Then he was to come straight back to the Hokage Tower to show the fifth Hokage, Tsunade, the scrolls that he has taken from the rogue nins, as proof of the finished mission. And the report he will have to hand in the next night.

 

Again, the mission wasn't so hard for Naruto.

 

 

 

 

Naruto Uzumaki has two lives in Konoha, the village he was born and grew up in.

 

During the day, he is seen as your average teenage ninja, at the level of a chunin like all the other teenagers his age, the old Rookie Nine, and a few other ninjas who aren't really that important.

 

At night, he is the angel of death, sworn to keep secrecy and his identity behind a pure black mask with the shape of a fox that hides his young but beautiful face.

 

After his sixteenth birthday, he has proven to the Hokage that he is stronger than a jounin by defeating the legendary Copycat ninja, Hatake Kakashi, Naruto's old sensei, on a one on one battle with him one night, with the Hokage watching.

 

The fight didn't even last twenty minutes before Naruto defeated his old teacher, proving his strength and intelligence to both the Hokage and Kakashi, who never knew his student was so smart.

 

That night, Naruto was secretly promoted to Anbu, but only to serve the Hokage and Konoha, and was to tell no one of his new rank as Anbu to a soul in Konoha, not even Sasuke, his lover and best friend.

 

 

Since then, Naruto has been playing two lives. Not that he minded.

 

Naruto always had two lives anyways. One life was a stupid blonde ninja, the screw up in Konoha, the annoying loudmouth brat, who loved ramen and his orange jumpsuit, and who had the biggest crush in Sakura.

 

It was all a fake.

 

In reality, Naruto was a quiet boy at heart. He loved training, but he also loved to learn all sorts of new techniques.

 

Naruto HATED the colour orange. He rather wears clothes that were dark or just not able to attract any attention. But when he first moved into his apartment, all he found in his closet were the bright orange jumpsuit. He didn't have enough money to buy a new wardrobe.

 

He acts like a mischievous boy, a screw up, a loudmouth, and an idiot because it's his protection from the people in his village.

 

The Sandaime had even once told Naruto himself when Naruto was younger, that he should put up his own protection.

 

<I> Flashback </I>

 

Naruto was 5 years old. He was quite a pretty child at his age. He had bright golden hair that was up to his neck, odd whisker marks on his cheeks, and the most beautiful ocean blue eyes in all of Konoha.

 

He was wearing old clack shoes, old grey socks, black shorts and a white t-shirt, which was all given to him from the Konoha's Salvation Army.

 

Naruto was currently by himself at the playground next to his school. He noticed there weren't any kids nearby, so he took out his book from his bag about ninjas of the past, and started reading by himself.

 

A few minutes in reading, he felt a presence next to him. When he looked up, he sees the third Hokage.

 

Naruo quickly gets off the ground, dusted his pants, and gave the old man a small bow.

 

The Sandaime smiles and gave a little chuckle. He patted Naruto's head, and Naruto looked up to see the old man smiling warmly at him.

 

He was so happy he gave his goofiest grin to the Saindaime, who chuckled again.

 

The Sandaime sat down on the ground and Naruto followed suit, staring at the great man in awe, who was also in the book he was reading.

 

Naruto always looked to great people from his books. They were so strong and brave; he wanted to be just like them.

 

The Sandaime noticed the book Naruto was reading.

 

“Hmmm? Is that an interesting book you're reading, Naruto?”

 

Naruto gave a small blush and nodded.

 

“ I… It's about… all the great people who ever lived. The…they are brave and strong people …I …I want to be just like them someday!”

 

The Sandaime looked surprised. He gave Naruto a small smile.

 

“Someday you say? Why not now?”

 

`Because if I do it now, I might be hated even more…' thought Naruto.

 

“Ummm… because the people in the village might not like that…”

 

“And why should the people of this village and what they think affect you?”

 

“Well, I love this village… and even if the people don't like me, I still love them and won't do anything that will upset them… they let me live here and has given me a house to live in. I'm a pretty lucky boy you know ji-ji…”

 

The Sandaime couldn't help but give Naruto a sad smile. The boy was already so strong at this day and age… there's no doubt he will be stronger in the future…

 

“Listen Naruto… I have a way that people might not hurt you so much… Would you like to know?”

 

“Of… Of course!”

 

“Well then, listen closely.”

 

Naruto shifted closer to the Sandaime.

 

“This is called… an act.”

 

“An act?” Naruto asks, confused.

 

“An act.” The Hokage confirmed.

 

“Okay… what do I have to do?”

 

“You have to be someone you're not. You're a very smart boy Naruto, maybe as smart as Nara Shikamaru- ”

 

“That guy is smart all right, but he's just so lazy…”

 

The old man smiled. So Naruto can see that as well. Interesting… what else does he know or see? The old man will have to ask some other day.

 

“That's right Naruto. Now, as I was saying, people in this village cannot know how smart you are, or else they will be scared and might hurt you more. You're going to have to be someone new, someone different so you won't worry the villagers too much.”

 

“You mean… someone who is the opposite as I am?”

 

The old man smiled. “That's right.”

 

“So… someone who's loud, obnoxious, annoying, stupid, likes ramen, hates to learn, loves to play tricks, loves to be lazy and likes Haruno Sakura?”

 

The Sandaime starts laughing.

 

“Yes, perhaps something like that. Do you not like you classmate Miss Haruno?”

 

“No. Her forehead is too big, she hates me a lot, and she's annoying.”

 

The Sandaime laughs harder at that.

 

 

<I> End Flashback </I>

 

 

To this day, the villagers and his friends still have not figured out the mask Naruto has made.

 

It was good, but somewhat sad.

 

In a way, it's like he has never trusted his friends like how they trust him. But, he suppose, in order to protect himself, it was the right thing to do.

 

 

Finally, Naruto was at the front door of his and Sasuke's house, which was actually the Uchiha estate. It was gigantic enough for them both to live in, train in, and enjoy. They moved in after Sasuke turned 15.

 

Sasuke and Naruto have been together after Naruto got Sasuke back from Orochimaru, about 2 years ago. Naruto really really REALLY like Sasuke, maybe even close to loving the young man, but even after all these years, Naruto still can't reveal himself.

 

Not yet atleast.

 

Not until they have killed Orochimaru and the Akatsuki. Then, can Naruo finally reveal himself…

 

Upon entering the house, he was hit by a strong smell of perfume. Female perfume. And this perfume did not smell like anyone who Naruto knew that might wear.

 

Over the years, Naruto's senses have heightened because of Kyuubi and always using his powers. It wasn't so bad, but bad smells or super strong smells usually makes Naruto a bit queasy… but he never told anyone that…

 

He walked in the house, and saw a red jacket hanging on the couch. As he walks towards the bedroom where he hears talking, he sees discarded clothing of both the unknown female and his lover's.

 

He paid them no attention.

 

He finally reaches the door. He hid his chakra signature and stands there… listening to the talking inside.

 

“…mine?”

 

“Yes. I… it's yours…”

 

“And how the hell do you know? You've slept with men practically every hour every day besides me. What makes you think it's mine? Oh… I get it… you want my money? Or someone to support you?”

 

“NO! That's not what I want Sasuke-kun. But, you must know I'm telling the truth! I… after being with you… I've stopped sleeping with other men… and it's already been a month… I…”

 

“Alright. If it's true, if this baby really is mine, then I will take care of you and this baby.”

 

“Sasuke-kun… you're not joking… are you? I mean, what about Naruto?”

 

“…Naruto…? Hah… he was nothing but a good fuck and a good sparring partner.”

 

Stab.

 

“After all, one of my missions in life is to restore my clan and kill Itachi. I thought I'd use Naruto to help me kill Itachi, then restore my clan… but I suppose restoring will have to come first…”

 

“Oh Sasuke-kun…”

 

“Oh how touching… I know I shouldn't ruin the moment but I just can't help it…”

 

“Gasp!”

 

“N-Naruto!”

 

“Tadaima…”
