Chapter 1: Humble Beginnings

As Steven's eyes locked firmly with Umbra's, burrowing into the skull of the powerhouse of a mercenary, he begins to speak" Lets begin shall we? I was born in Shijungakure, The village hidden the question, it is a small village, not even being recorded in today's maps of our world." Umbra is intrigued"So, you hail from Shijungakure, and it's this god-awful dot of a village, that it isn't even worthy of a spot on the map?" Steven gets annoyed at the remarks of Umbra. and continues on" Yes, you little prick, I was born in The Village Hidden in a fricken Question! Now, I was not always a Shijungakure affiliate, I traveled to Konoha, four years ago,"

Umbra gestures for Steven to go on, he does" I was walking up to an old friend of mine, at least, I knew her parents, her name. was Sakura Haruno." Umbra smirks" You know, she could kick your ass right?" Steven laughs " Who do you think made sure, that she was taken under, Tsunade's wing? Anyway......"

*Begin flashback*

A knock is heard on the door of a small house, and a young pink haired kunoichi is seen answering the door"Who is it?" A rather deep voice is heard outside the door, and the kunoichi begins to smile" Come on in Steven." The door opens revealing the same modern day Steven, like he never aged a day."Thanks Sakura, so, do you still like that emo boy Sasuke?" Sakura nods, and objects at what Steven said " He's not emo. he's just very, very.......sad." Steven laughs"So he's emo, any way, i have a package for you."

Sakura smiles, and then a yellow haired boy is seen walking through the door" Gee Sakura, you have to be careful to not leave your door open, unwanted guest might come in.." Sakura nails the boy in the back of the head,and screams "NARUTO, YOU BAKA!" Steven chuckles at the display of anger by the normally calm kunoichi"So, Naruto huh? Your with Sakura, and Sasuke right? As Team 7?" Naruto nods, and gets cocky "Yea, what's it to you, I'm gonna become Hokage!"

Steven gets annoyed, and grabs Naruto by the head, and glares at him." Get that cocky with me again, and I'll shove this specially made kunai up your ass!" Naruto gulps. as Steven pulls out a barbed kunai" This Kunai, is very special. it not only is made out of solid black chakra, but is able to combine with any jutsu I know." Naruto is forcefully shoved down. and then a black haired boy is seen walking in "Do you mind not making all this racket. I'm trying to mourn the loss of my fucking family!" Steven quickly glances over at the black haired boy, and gets annoyed very quickly" Sasuke......." Sasuke walks over to Steven, and glares at him, in his special, emo way " What?"

Steven is annoyed at his answer, and smacks Sasuke on the back of the head"That's for causing all the commotion next door to MY house! I' m trying to fucking sleep at three am. not learn fire based jutsus!" Sasuke rubs his head" Move then!" Steven gets angered" I REALLY don't like you..." Steven walks over to the counter that has the package, he opens it up" A new shipment of headbands came in, I'm giving them to the instructors, i heard that the new genin finished in record time." The three young ninjas are staring awkwardly at the huge stack of head bands, Naruo speaks up " I lost my head band. could I borrow your fancy question mark one?"

Naruto is seen rummaging through Steven's pocket, and pulls out a headband with a question mark" Haha, got your headband!" Naruto is tackled by Sasuke" Naruto, you Baka, I have his headband!" Steven is just standing there, and the two boys warp away from him" Three....Two......One." Steven warps to the location of the boys"GIVE ME BACK MY HEADBAND!" Naruto and Sasuke are seen painting over the question mark with a smiley face." *End flashback*
