Hidden Art
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto (I wish I did though) or anything in the Naruto universe except my OCs and scenarios.
A/N: First fic, first fic. Haaa I'm excited. OK shutting up now. More A/N at bottom.
Chapter 1: A History of Art
Naruto had a secret, one that noone knew about. It wasn't one wher it attacked Konoha 15 years ago on October 10. It didn't have to do with anybody except himself. He kept it locked away in his apartment and in his mind and hid it from everybody, just like he covered his true feelings up with smiles and laughter. It was hard to belive because no one knew a guy so dense could be so sensitive and passionate. It was simple.
Naruto loved to draw.
He was an artist.
That's how he could connect with the emotionless bastard from the now disbanded 'Roots.'
Since even before he could write, Naruto would draw at every given opportunity, even if it was scribbles on paper or in the sand. Those later became lollipop trees, stick figures and cotton candy clouds, but were incredibly detailed for his age.
Although, when he got ahold of a few tubes of colored paint and a paintbrush, it was a whole different story.
He gave color to all his drawings, even if he did a messy job of it and also did purely paint reincarnations all over scrolls and paper. to him, it let his emotions free, his escape from the cuelty of the world. Since he found that he could mix colors, he discovered that britght color you get from mixing red and yellow. It was firey, just like him, and he loved it. Once he was able to move out of the orphanage into his own apartment, Naruto took everything he had ever created with him because he had an attatchment to it all.
Even in the days of the acadamey and after being promoted to being a genin, even with all that training, he drew and painted, though only on rainy days. Even so, with less time to draw, he improved greatly
When Naruto went on the 2-1/2 year training trip with Jiraya, he took a sketchbook and pencil. still, with all that time spent together, Jiraya didn't know Naruto's secret. Every moment away from the pervet not training, Orange-Man broke out his paper and pencil and created stunningly life-like scenes with passion.
Only when he got back and Sakura visited his apartment did anyone suspect Naruto was keeping something secret.
A/N: Whee i finally got this typed! I had this in my mind while laying wide awake at night and didn't want to lose it. God, I'm writing in the bathroom...Anyways, I just had this in my system and couldn't resist getting it out. I know its short but please review! Tell me if you like it, tell me if you hate it, tell me if I should continue. If you do want me to continue, give me ideas cause i have a million roads and don't know which one to take (aka, I'm stuck and don't have any spesific ideas). I can take any critczm you might have, even if this is my first fic :). My writing teacher is probably the hardest critic ever so I'm prepared. Ummmm.. ya... that's it. Until (maybe) next time! HOW NOW BROWN COW!!!
