Naruto-The Cycle of Peace and Hatred

 Chapter 1- After the battle at the Valley

After the long and fierce battle between Naruto and Sasuke, they both had no more chakra left and were on the verge of collapsing. The demon fox inside Naruto watched the entire fight with amusement. At this point, the fox decided to lend Naruto some of his chakra to see the results of his dedication and choice towards Sasuke, and Naruto somehow managed to defeat Sasuke, who now lay unconscious before him.

"I somehow managed to win. Now I can fulfill my promise to Sakura-chan," Naruto said to himself, overcome with happiness that he had succeeded in saving his best friend and keeping his promise with Sakura.

He carried the unconscious Sasuke on his back, struggling due to the pain and injuries he received in the battle. He somehow managed to meet the rest of the group and get to the village. "Sakura-chan, look who I am."

 "Sasuke-kun!!" Sakura yelled as soon as she saw the unconscious Sasuke and ran towards him. Naruto sensed a dull pain in his heart but decided not to think too much about it. Soon the hokage and Kakashi also appeared there after being informed of Naruto and the squad's return, and they were led to the hospital for treatment. Sakura was only focused on Sasuke, which annoyed Naruto a bit.

"You did it," Kakashi said to Naruto on their way to the hospital. "Of course I did; I promised I would bring Sasuke back, and I never go back on my word. After all, that's my ninja way." Naruto spoke to Kakashi in his usual energetic tone with a big grin.

After a few days, Sasuke regained consciousness, and everyone was happy, but Naruto was left neglected in the hospital. Only Tsunade Hinata and his sensei Kakashi came to visit him after Sasuke regained consciousness, and Sakura never even visited once after the hell he went through to get Sasuke for her.

A few days passed, Naruto was discharged from the hospital, and everything went back to normal. The villagers were happy that Sasuke Uchiha was brought back, but nobody talked about the person who brought him back.

'I did all that to bring Sasuke back, but even now nobody cares about me, Naruto thought to himself, lying on his bed. A tear slowly slipped from his eyes, but he decided to cheer himself up and go out for a walk.

Look, there's that demon fox." Don't get near him. "Why is he even here? "It would've been better if he left instead of the Uchiha boy." Naruto heard all the usual abuse towards him, and he chose to ignore it, but.

'Damnit! What have I ever done to them? Naruto was more irritated by the abusive words of people today than ever before. So he ran away from there and shut himself in his room for the rest of the day.
