Ok before I start anything I just want to explain the time on this story. It's a little confusing but bear with me. Ok, so the fourth is dead (sorry), kakashi is four months older than Naru so he was alive for the Kyuubi attack but of course won't remember it. His father commits suicide for the same reasons but the event occurred months before Kakashi was born so he stayed alive at least until Kakashi was three. Now Kakashi and Naru are in an orphanage. Kakashi never knew the fourth.


It was a night like any other, dark, cold, but on this night something was going to happen that would change history. What's this change you ask? Well it all starts at an orphanage.

"No."

"Huh?" said a little blonde girl.

" I said no. You don't deserve food you little demon go sit in the corner." Said the care worker.

" Oh." She did as asked and huddled in the dusty corner trying to stop her stomach from growling. This was a regular occurrence, she was used to it. But it always confused her. What had she done? She did her homework and chores. Her room was clean. Was there something she missed? No, it was just the way people acted around her.

If you're wondering who this blonde is, well I guess I haven't told you yet. Her name is Naru Namikaze, the 3 year old orphan who no one likes. It wasn't her fault no one liked her. It's just when the adults are so mean the kids tend to follow the example. She had long blonde hair down to the bottom of her shoulder blades, which would have been pretty if it wasn't dirty and knotted, she also had a slender figure, a little too slender from malnourishment, with rags for clothes and bright blue eyes. The eyes were by far her best feature. Even with the way she was treated the light never left her eyes.

She slowly turned when she felt someone tap her shoulder, expecting some kind of attack. Instead, she was faced with food, a bowl of porridge to be exact. She looked up to see who was giving her the food and was surprised to see wild silver hair sticking straight up. (A.N. if you don't know who this is I would set up an appointment with some kind of brain doctor) She looked more and found that there was a face that went along with the hair, well half on one since the bottom half was covered by a mask. His eyes were dark brown, almost black. He looked to be around her age. "Hi." He said.

She stared for a moment then whispered, "hi".

"I noticed you hadn't eaten anything."

"Yeah"

"Well here." Holding out the porridge.

"The matron said I can't have food."

"Why not." He asked cocking his head to the side.

" I don't know."

" Well, you should eat. My d-dad, he stumbled over the word with a pained expression, always said you can't grow unless you eat."

" Ok. Why are you being so nice um…?"

" Oh right my names Kakashi Hatake. What's yours?"

"Naru."

"Well Naru it just worried me that you weren't eating."

"All the other kids are mean to me and the adults are even worse."

" Why?"

"I don't know. All I know is the adults keep calling me demon or sometimes fox."

"Well that's weird."

"Yeah I want to get big so I can show them I'm not a demon."

"And how are you going to do that?"

"I'm gonna be a shinobi, a really powerful one so I can protect all the people in the village."

" Really you'd do that? You're not mad at everyone for treating you badly."

"No when everyone looks at me I don't just see hate or anger. I see fear. I don't want them to be afraid of me."

" My dad died. He killed himself. I don't understand why he did it. Before he did it the people of the village were treating him badly, like he did something wrong. I was really angry at the people but maybe, like you, if I became strong I could change their view of my family."

" Then we'll strong together."

" Promise?"

" Promise." They shook hands. "Hey Kashi? Do know how we could get strong?

"Hmmm?" He sat down beside Naru on the wall while she started eating. " Well my dad took me to this place every once in a while. I think it was called the library. It had a bunch of scrolls and stuff on shinobi things. We could start there."

"Mmmk" she said with her mouth full. She swallowed then said. "We can sneak in and get some stuff after lunch tomorrow. When the adults let us out to play."

"Sounds like a plan. I'm very glad I gave you food Naru."

"Ditto Kakashi." She smiled brightly.


I am portraying them both as geniuses so yes they are going to be waymore mature then their age says. But don't worry their still fun loving kids who have just had a hard life. So that's it for now my hs soccer team is going to state so I might not update for a little while but not too long I promise! Please review and be nice!
