Sunshine is pouring in from the bedroom window, touching a sleeping Naruto's face. He moves around and stretches, opening his eyes just a bit.
"Why does this day have to exist? I wish I could just stay in bed and wait for the day to end!" But he can't he has to go meet Kakashi and the rest of Team 7 for training.
This day that Naruto really hates is the 10th of October, the day of his birth and the day when Kyuubi was sealed inside of him.
Since that day he was hated and every year on this day he was hurt by the villagers… finally he decided to get out of the bed and go to the kitchen to make his usual breakfast, ramen and a glass of milk, while he eats, he thinks about the day he will have.
"How will they attack me this time?
Flashback no jutsu!
'It was late at night and Naruto was coming back from training when he was caught by a group of villagers who, after catching him, proceeded to beat him half to death, when they were done they abandoned him in a small side alley… like all the other times Kyuubi was screaming at him because he didn't defend himself, she couldn't understand why he never attacks them, but he didn't care…
He fell asleep alone, freezing and hurt in a dark alley, crying himself to sleep… The next day, although Kyuubi had taken care of most of the wounds, he had to go the training, sore all over but no one ever knew…'
Flashback no Jutsu – Kai!
Well…it seems that the only way to find out is to go out and meet them head on." He dresses himself and leaves to the bridge in training ground 7, the usual meeting spot of Team 7.
In the street, the people sneer at him, and shout awful things to him like "you should be dead monster", "we don't need demons like you" and "you don't deserve to be here". And they throw trash and stones at him. Naruto starts running with tears running down his face.
"What did I do to them? I didn't ask to have you inside me! It's not my fault! I hate this day! Why did I have to born?"
"Naruto… Calm down there's no need for you to be like that…"
"Shut up you damn giant ball of fur!!! It's your fault that I am hated! Don't talk to me! For once in my life I would like to have someone who remembers my birthday, because of me… not because of what happened that day!"
Before he arrives at the meeting spot he stops to clean his face. He didn't want his sensei and teammates to see him like that. He decides to act like nothing has happened. When he comes close he does his normal "entry".
"Sakura-chaaaaaaaan! Good morning." He just looks at Sasuke.
"Good morning Naruto", says Sakura, not very interested, with all her attention on Sasuke, as always. He just nods his head to Naruto.
Naruto leans against a tree and stays there thinking, without noticing the looks that Sasuke is shooting at him from time to time. When he finally notices the eyes, Naruto looks around and sees the intense look that Sasuke is giving in him.
"Ano… Sasuke what's up? Do I have something in my face?" He asks seriously.
"Ahm, no…" Sasuke blushes but he diverts the yes in such a way that Naruto couldn't see. But unfortunately Sakura sees it, because she is still looking at him.
"I can't believe Sasuke is blushing! I must be seeing things… Sasuke blushing because of the moron Naruto! Impossible!..."
After another hour and a half Kakashi finally decides to appear.
"YOU'RE LATE KAKASHI-SENSEI!" Naruto and Sakura scream at the same time. Sasuke just sighs, he can't understand why they still scream, it was about time that they get used to Kakashi's tardiness.
"I'm sorry my young students. But I was walking here with all intention to arrive on time when I saw a rose growing by the path. I couldn't help myself, I had to see if it smelled as good as it looked so I bent down to do just that. I was wrong the rose smelled like something rotten and I had to go back home to take a long hot shower and burn my clothes, I'm sorry, I won't do it again."
"Don't lie sensei" Laughs Naruto, like always Kakashi's excuse is as silly as his hair.
"Well let's start the training. Naruto, you and Sasuke are going to train taijustu. Sakura, you are going to train chakra control."
" No! Why do I have to be with Sasuke-teme!?" Naruto grumbles.
"You're lucky that it's your birthday and I don't want to annoy you today, dobe!" Sasuke thinks to himself.
"Because I said so, and I'm the one in charge." Says Kakashi smiling behind his mask, taking an Icha - Icha Paradise book out of his kunai pouch.
Sakura goes away and start her training. The boys take places and start the match very fiercely.
Naruto is the first to attack, trying to get Sasuke with a strong high kick, but the duck-butt-hair dodges in time. Then Sasuke sees an opening attacks but he can't touch Naruto either. They continue fighting like that for about 3 hours when Kakashi decides that that's enough training for one day. Both of them fall on the floor at the same time, tired and breathless, like so many times before. Naruto smiles a smile of real satisfaction and looks at Sasuke.
"Ano… thanks for the good match." Sasuke incredulously just nods his head a little, speechless.
"Tomorrow at the same time, boys." And with that Kakashi disappears, a cloud of smoke where he once stood is the only thing left.
"Sasuke-kun let's go home together!" says Sakura, catching Sasuke's arm, who is now standing.
"I don't think so Sakura." He says while releasing his arm.
"Well see you tomorrow Sakura-chan. I think I'm going to eat ramen before I go home." Says Naruto smiling, he stands up with a jump and, then runs in the direction of the Ichiraku Ramen stand.
"Damn it! And now what do I do? He is going away and I didn't give him his present." Sasuke thinks, a little sad, already missing Naruto.
