here's a short… thing, i don't know if i'm going to turn this into a full story or if i'm going to leave it at this, but i just felt like writing this.
*************************************************************************************************************
The sun was just coming up over the horizon in Konoha. This early in the morning, not many people were out and shops were just beginning to open. It was at this time that young Naruto sneaked out of his apartment and onto the street. He was six years old as of his last birthday, and today he was starting the ninja academy. In order to avoid as many people as possible he decided to leave as early as possible. As he stepped out onto the street, he looked both ways before turning in the direction of the academy.
Suddenly a mob of people appeared out of thin air… literally. Actually literally out of thin air. A mob of thirty villagers appeared ten feet to the left and five feet up in the air. After dropping to the ground they all looked around in shocked confusion.
"What are you all doing in my bathroom!" shrieked a man who was wearing nothing but a towel and a bath cap.
While this was happening, Naruto was backing away slowly in alarm. Though this was certainly alarming, he wasn't entirely surprised. Impossibly unlucky things always seemed to happen around him.
He didn't get far before the gathered villagers noticed him.
"monster!" one of the villagers said, gathering the attention of those around him.
Almost as one, the gathered people turned to look at Naruto who was silently cursing while still backing away. He wasn't going to stop, he wasn't going to stop for anything. If he did and he got caught, at best he would miss class today, at worst he would miss class forever.
His slow retreat didn't escape the attention of any of the villagers… Except the bathroom guy who rather than focus on Naruto, chose to instead hurry home in order to salvage his decency. The mob started slowly advancing as Naruto retreated. Walking towards him at a purposeful but almost leisurely pace.
"oh that's unnerving" thought Naruto. Usually when people chased him they ran after him as fast as they could. "maybe if things continue like this, they'll be easy to get away from"
Just as he thought that, one of the villagers got impatient, pushed people near the front out of the way and broke into a sprint after Naruto. Who responded by finally turning around and running as fast as his legs could carry him.
He may have been fast from all the years of running but Naruto knew that if he didn't do anything the one behind him would catch him. With that in mind he grabbed the lid off a garbage can as he ran by, spun in the air and hurled the lid at the legs of the man chasing him.
The man was no ninja and as such just didn't have the reflexes to dodge something like that. The garbage can lid hit him in the legs and he tripped falling face first onto the ground. The rest of the gathered villagers had not bothered to run, content in the knowledge that the one person running would be enough to catch the changeling. So with such a large head start, Naruto escaped them easily and made it the rest of the way to the academy without further incident.
