I do not own Naruto or Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

This chapter was meant to be a bit of a prologue, so that's why it's so short. (Naruto jumped dimensions at the end, if anyone was confused.)

Naruto's POV (Third-person POV)

The blood fell like rain upon Konoha. It washed through the gutters, covering everything in a crimson river. Two lone people stood in between.

Naruto Uzumaki tried his hardest not to cry. So when the salty tears rolled down his cheeks, it was just another failure to add to his long list. Before him lay the bodies of Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha, twisted and slashed beyond recognition. He had failed to protect them. Just like he failed to protect the rest of Konoha.

More Akatsuki members strode out from between the buildings. The blonde's fists shook with fury and sobs racked his body. They had put up a good fight. But good was not enough.

Itachi Uchiha grinned sadistically. His black hair was plastered against his scalp by rain so heavy it obscured the vision. A slash put on his face by Sakura herself dripped blood that turned pink where it mixed with the rain.

"So, fox boy, giving up?"

The boy's once, strong glare was melted by the rain. What would it be like to end it, he wondered, to join all his friends?

The Akatsuki were dragging bodies, Pein pulling the corpse of the silver-haired Hatake Kakashi. They were all dead. Nothing was left to live for.

Boy, the Kyuubi spoke inside Naruto's head, I understand.

Do you? Do you really?

I can stop it. I can make it all go away.

Please…..please…..kill me…..

I can make it end…..

Take away the pain…..

Bloody rain………

And the boy vanished.

Okay, so that was short and sad. Sorry for killing Kakashi, but Naruto has to be REALLY depressed. Review, please! They make me write more! ^^
