I always thought this song related to Naruto alot so I finally got around to writing this. hope you like it

I don't own Naruto or the song Once upon a time in New York City


Now it's always once upon a time
In Konohagakure
It's a big old, bad old, tough old town, it's true
But beginnings are contagious there
They're always setting stages there
They're always turning pages there for you

The Third Hokage was watching a small boy wander through an orphanage. He hoped that this time someone would adopt the boy. As he watched he found himself asking why the village saw him as a demon instead of the child that he is. Why would they deny Uzumaki Naruto his right to a family?


Ain't it great the way it all begins
in Konohagakure?
Right away you're making time and making friends
No one cares where you were yesterday
If they pick you out you're on your way
To a once upon a time that never ends

It was adoption day at the orphanage and everyone was avoiding Naruto, adults and children alike. Other kids were being adopted left and right and he watched them leave with the family he could have had. He couldn't't take it any more, he had to get away. He ran away from the orphanage, and into the Third Hokage.


So, Naruto, don't be shy
Get out there, let go and try
Believing that you're the guy
They're dying to see
'Cause a dream's no crime
Not once upon a time
Once upon a time in Konohagakure


If it's always once upon a time
In Konohagakure
Why does nightfall find you feeling so alone?
How could anyone stay starry eyed
When it's raining cats and dogs outside
And the rain is saying, "Now you're on your own"?

The Third Hokage had to do something no matter what the council or the villagers had to say. He pulled Naruto in for a hug and told him he could have his own place. Naruto was overjoyed he could have a home, a real home. He hastily agreed to the offer. He and the Third then walked to Naruto's new home.


So, Naruto, don't be scared
Though yesterday no one cared
They're getting your place prepared
Where you want to be
Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in Konohagakure


Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in Konohagakure

Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in Konohagakure

And it's always once upon a time
In Konohagakure

Naruto looked out the window of his new apartment. It had a beautiful view of the Hokage Monument. He stared at the four faces on the monument. He had a dream last night where his face was on that monument and he overlooked the entire village. He decided then and there that he would make that dream come true, no matter what. He was going to be Hokage.
