Enter: Naruto Uzumaki!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto or any of its amazing characters.
Long ago, a nine-tailed fox terrorized the village. It slaughtered thousands of the most skilled and powerful ninja thus, destroying everything and anything in its way.
One courageous and formidable ninja sacrificed his life to capture the beast and seal it in a human body. This body turned out to be a baby named Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto had spiky blonde hair and bright cerulean eyes; because of the sealing, the boy had gained three marks on both sides of his cheek looking like cat whiskers and a spiral-like tattoo on the center of his stomach.
Pity though, Naruto had no family. Sure he used to have one, but no one really knows what had happened to them. Rumours spread like wildfire saying that Naruto's family was killed either by him or because of him.
The villagers knew that Naruto had been sealed with the beast but they didn't know better and believed the said rumours about this poor little boy. This is why he was treated like such an outcast—people were timorous of even coming up and saying 'hi' to him.
Every time he'd pass in the village, he would get glared at, hidden from, or shunned away. He would see parents talking to their children telling them to stay away from him and the children would obey. The children would sometimes bump into Naruto, but before he could help the child up, the mother/father would approach and take their child away then sneer at Naruto.
"I thought I told you to stay away from that child," one parent said eyeing Naruto, "He's a danger to us and to the village."
"I know mama," said the child, "but it was an accident, I didn't mean to—"
"You will never talk to child again do you hear me?" the parent scolded while walking away, "Never again."
Naruto stared at the backs of the parent and child and looked down, his eyes covered by his blonde locks. Without another word, he turned around and headed to his own apartment.
Naruto was relatively patient and would just endure all the insults being thrown at him by walking away or ignoring them, but you can't thwart him from getting fed up with them either.
That was why as he was walking through the streets one day…
A woman suddenly gasped when she saw him, and she pulled her child behind her, "Miserable excuse for a child," she muttered, loud enough for Naruto to hear.
Just ignore them, Naruto…just ignore them and walk away… Naruto kept telling himself.
A child was about to stride past Naruto when the father hastily grabbed the child's hand and pulled him away.
"Juko, stay away from that kid, okay?" the man said hauling his own son away.
Control yourself Naruto…just control yourself… Naruto told himself again.
But the invective didn't stop there. The more he kept pacing the streets, the more ranting he heard about himself.
Unconsciously, he found himself sprinting as fast as he can with tears in his eyes.
Why are they so afraid of me? I haven't done anything wrong have I? What is it about me that scares them?
After a moment of comprehension, Naruto suddenly skids to a stop and looks upon the ground, his vivid yellow hair covering his eyes.
Why do I even take this? No person deserves this. I'll show them…
"Stop it! It's not like I can't hear you!" he blurted out.
Silence had abruptly filled the streets, no one dared to answer to this kid.
"One day you're all gonna respect me! I'll show you, all of you!" This was when he lifted his gaze from the ground and looked upon the majority of those who stopped and listened.
"I'm gonna be the greatest hokage this village has ever known!" He then pumped his fist into the air, eyes shining with determination.
And there was silence.
But at the instant that Naruto turned around, he heard faint chuckles which then turned into earsplitting laughter.
Naruto simply walked away.
He awaits the day that he would prove them wrong.
His aspiration would be to become the village Hokage one day.
I'll show them, I'll become the Hokage. Believe it!
