A/N:
Hello! This is my first Naruto fanfiction and, unfortunately, I couldn't find a Beta Reader so it may have spelling or grammar errors. By the way, if anyone wants the job, please PM me :P
I decided to write this story, because I couldn't find one that suited some aspects that I would like in a story.
Most of the characters will probably be a bit (or a lot) OOC.
I know most people don't exactly like NaruSaku, but I had to go with it. It wouldn't make sense in my story that he would fall in love with someone that wasn't in his team... I sincerely like team 7, so I didn't want to change it... Kakashi was out because Naruto will see him as an older brother and I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with Sasuke, so Sakura was the only one that would suit the story. However, she won't be like the one in the cannon, so I hope it won't be a problem...
I hope you will come to like my story and, please, leave a review!
Kiss
Chapter 1
Happy-go-lucky image is born (Prologue of sorts)
It was a normal day in Konohagakure. However, a blond boy with bright blue eyes was very excited since he was eight years old and would finally enter in the ninja academy.
This boy was Namikaze Naruto, son of one Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime Hokage, also known as Konoha's Yellow Flash and of one Namikaze Kushina (née Uzumaki Kushina), Princess of Whirlpool, also known as Red Hot-Blooded Habanero (by her classmates and later fellow konoha ninjas) or Red Death (by her enemies). Not that he knew about it. For what he knew, he was Uzumaki Naruto and was an orphan, unwanted by the villagers and most of the shinobi of Konoha.
In fact, very few people in the entire village know who Naruto really is. And these as well as another few people will become the family that he always wished for, he just doesn't know it. Yet!
Later that day
Naruto could be seen walking dejectedly around the village - his day wasn't as good as he was expecting.
'Why? Why does everyone hate me so much?' He thinks, feeling more upset than usual with the village's treatment. 'I never did anything to them!'
After walking around for a few hours, he decided that moping around wouldn't solve anything and walked away towards his apartment. He had long ago stopped crying about the way people treated him, but he still looked upset sometimes.
When he finally was within the safety of his apartment, he decided that he would never again give people the satisfaction of seeing him hurt because of their treatment.
However, he was much more intelligent than anyone gives him credit. He knew that if the Hokage and the little family from the Ichiraku Ramen suddenly saw him with a poker face would worry about him and now that something was happening. So, that day the happy-go-lucky that everyone would come to know was born from all the suffering he had to endure in his short life.
