Chapter 1: Remembering The Past

Ishiku was walking through the streets of the Hidden Leaf; making his way to Ichiraku's to meet up with his friends.

"Hey Ishiku wait up" Ishiku turned around to see his girlfriend Misaki running towards him, until she was close enough to lock him in a hug. Returning the hug she let go and begun walking with him to Ichiraku's. When they finally arrived the rest of the group was already there waiting for them, well in Naruto's case he couldn't wait any longer so he begun eating before they got there.

"Geez Naruto you couldn't even wait till we got here" Ishiku laughed as he watched his blonde headed friend devour his bowl of ramen as he and Misaki both sat down.

"Well what do you expect; the dobe can never wait for anything" Said Sasuke, catching Naruto's attention as he placed his bowl down and looked at his rival.

"Shut up, I'd rather be a dobe than have duck hair" Protested Naruto, making Sakura, Misaki and Hinata giggle at the comment.

"I think he got you that time Sasuke" Said Ishiku as everyone except Naruto ordered there bowl of ramen. As the group where eating there ramen, a question came to Sasuke's mind that he has been waiting to ask Ishiku about.

"Hey Ishiku you said that when you where a baby, that your parents moved away from the village"

"Yeh why"

"Would you mind telling us what happened during the time you where a baby up until the time you came back to the village to find me" Everyone become silence as they too wanted to know what happened. Ishiku never really liked thinking about his past but he knew that the Question would pop up one day.

"Since you are all my friends I will tell you, but let's wait till we are somewhere private" Said Ishiku as they all finished their ramen and left Ichiraku's.

"Hey Ishiku why couldn't you tell us back there" Asked Sakura

"Because I don't really want anyone else to hear"

"I know we can go back to my place" Said Naruto as the group agreed and followed him back to his place. When they all walked through Naruto's door they couldn't believe the mess there was on the floor.

"Naruto do you ever clean up after yourself" Sakura Yelled making everyone laugh.

"Sorry about that, give me a second" Naruto then summoned a bunch of clones that then begun to clean the apartment up, this only took five minutes due to the amount of clones. Once the cleaning was all done everyone sat down where they could as Naruto didn't have many chairs.

"Alright then I guess I'll start from the point that I can remember which is when I was eight two years before Itachi killed my parents.
