Going to the Hokage proved to be a waste of time. Not only where there no good missions to pick from but the only available ones where within the village. ‘Please’ Naruto thought ‘does missions are for kids, genins’. But what infuriated him the most was that Tsunade advised him to take a little breather, a break, a short leave, A FREAKING VACATION!!

Who did she think she was anyways? His therapist? Like he needed one. He frowned at the idea of one. It’s not like it mattered what he thought or how he felt. Ninjas were tools anyways. And tools needed to be used in order to be worthwhile so he couldn’t for the life of him fathom why would the Hokage suggest such a thing in the first place. Didn’t that go against the principle of the whole thing?

He mused over these thoughts on his head while he strolled back to his apartment. With his paycheck the blond could had afforded a better one than the one he was currently residing in but Naruto couldn’t be bothered with it. His home was in the less crowded part of Konoha and it suited him just fine.

The bigger paychecks came along with his new rank. He thought it was awfully nice of granny Tsunade and the council to award him the chunnin title without having him retake the test. But he didn’t look too much into it since he knew it was only done as an incentive for becoming a mere puppet to their strings.

Theirs was a dog/master relationship. A humorless chuckle escaped the blonde’s lips as he remembered his earlier encounter that morning. ‘Stupid Kiba, padding my back as if we were friends’ If there was something he hated the most it was when people pretended to care. ‘Bunch of hypocrites is what they are’

But he wouldn’t let himself be fooled. Kiba and the others could shove their false concern up their asses for all he cared. He didn’t need their pity because he was no one’s charity case.

“Hey Naruto, will you wait up already?!” screamed an annoyed female voice.

“Huh?” said blond tune out his train of thought and turned around only to be clubbed in the head by a pink haired kunoichi.

“I have been calling after you for the past minute now. Why did you kept ignoring me” she asked sweetly as if she hadn’t just given the jinchuriki a concussion a mere second ago.

While his mind was checking a wide number of reasons of why he should have kept ignoring her, his mouth responded her question “Oh sorry, guess I was lost in thought and didn’t notice you.”

“Anyways” Sakura started on a chipper note. “I’m free and you don’t look like you’re doing anything so I thought we could go out to eat together and chitchat a little while.”

She eyed her teammate tentatively as he considered her proposition hoping for him to instantly jump at the chance of being with her like he usually did. The key word being hoping because lately the chances of that occurring have simmered down gradually. Hopefully she caught him on one of his better moods.

Unfortunately for her, luck wasn’t on her side. “Sorry Sakura-san but I have some errands to do. Maybe another time.”

He saw her eye twitch at the lack of the –chan suffix. “Oh okay then” She answered with disappointment clear in her voice. “Well see you tomorrow at the training grounds. Remember we’ll be practicing formations.”

“Yeah, I’ll be there.”

“You better be or I’ll personally come and drag you all the way there and it won’t be pretty!” She covered her mouth to giggle slightly and turned to leave giving a small wave to Naruto’s direction.”

“It never is” the male chunnin murmured in low spirits to himself as he continued his way home.

In reality he had no errands to do. The true reason he didn’t accept her invitation was because he foresaw her true intentions and was in no mood to deal with it. The blond knew how it was all going to play out.

First they would go to Ichiraku’s to eat because of course she would let him choose with feign complain. Then she’ll start small talk and try to weasel Sasuke into the conversation. Yes, that was the direction she wanted to go with her pesky little chitchat.

Naruto wasn’t down with doing more reflecting. He done enough of that and with conviction refused to use that subject as a method for further bonding with his present teammates.

Momentarily taking a small vacation didn’t sound that bad to him. Taking a short leave would mean they wouldn’t force other people on him. A break also meant skipping team training sessions.

On the downside that would make him more available and reachable to others since he wouldn’t be on duty. He paled at the thought. ‘Maybe I could sweeten up the Hokage and get her to give me a pointless solo mission for much needed time out of the village?’ he mulled over.

The jinchuriki quickly shot down the idea because for one he refused to beg, and two because he highly doubted the council would allow him to be alone outside the city walls. He’ll probably get partnered with someone which totally defeated the purpose of not wanting to mingle.

The blue eyed youth sighed slouching his shoulders as he continued to drag his feet towards his apartment while he pondered on why life never seemed to give him the easy way out.
