Two kids and a baby
Chapter one: Prologue- Why are we here?
"There he is. My mom says to stay away from him" A kid whispered to another kid.
"Well my dad said if I turn my back to him, he will attack me. He told me to always keep my eyes on him at all times." Says another kid.
"Well my mom says to do this!" The boy bends down to grab a stone from the ground and throws it at him. Who is him? His Name is Naruto Uzumaki. A Seven year old orphan that lives by himself with little to no friends to speak of. Every time the boy had tried to make friends, this always happens. Kids stay away from him, give him mean looks, and...throw rocks. And once somebody throws one rock, everyone joins in. Even the adults! Which was now laughing at him when the rock the boy threw bounced off his forehead. Encouraging the kids even further and giving them tips.
"No, No, No! When you throw a rock, snap your wrist to give the rock a spinning momentum for more damage! Like THIS!" That rock knocked little Naruto off his feet. Tears rolling down his cheek, Naruto wonders why he's treated and hated so badly. Why people spit on him, why they break everything he owns in his apartment. And... why do they get away with it. He asked the old man with the funny big hat why it was ok for others to do mean things while he cannot. Because Naruto tried to do the same things back to the people that hurt him. A young mind like his, he see's people do different things to him and everyone laughed. He wanted that attention so he did it to others what others did to him. Throw rocks at people, trip people when they were walking by, and steal his their lunch like they keep stealing his. But Naruto got in trouble for it and he asked the old man that question to which he didn't have and answer. Naruto never gets the answers. Why was he hated, no answer, why was he always being kick out of stores, no answers. He's getting sick of living this life. Picking himself off the ground and cleaning his face off, someone yelled what Naruto was thinking about for a while now.
"Do us all a favor and just leave already. Or drop dead. I don't care, just leave us already. Nobody wants you here."
Why should he stick around when no one understands him? Why should he stick around when nobody really cares? Why should he stick around, he's started to hate the people around him. Why should he stick around, he doesn't belong here. He will never grow into a man here. Naruto is sick of this game. With his mind set, Naruto...
Is leaving Konohagakure.
Hyuuga compound
"Pathetic."
"Useless."
"That is the future of this clan? Dark days are ahead of us."
"Weak."
These are the words Hinata Hyuuga hears every day in her own home since she can remember. Ever since her mother and uncle has passed on, it seems like dark cloud was always hovering around the compound. Nobody smiles, nobody helps the other, Treat their own family members as slaves, and expected something out of Hinata that she can never be, a cold hearted person like her dad and cousin Neji. And they used to smile all the time! Now, they just look down at her with borderline hatred.
And it hurts.
Neji is just better at the clan style than she is. There's nothing wrong with that. But Hinata is the clan hair. She is not supposed to lose to a slave. Their words, not hers. Maybe she's doing something wrong? The clan style of fighting, the gentle fist, just feels weird for her. She just feels stiff. One time, she tried to adapt her movements into the gentle fist in a spar and won! Expecting a good word for once, she faced her father... only to get slapped in the face. Yelling at her saying that she bastardized the gentle fist, and so some respect for the older generation before her that worked hard on this style, and so on. Since then, she tried to do it the 'traditional' way. And only to lose in a 'traditional' way. And every lost, is another beating from her father, snide remarks from her cousin and her 'family', and look down on like the walls in the house has more importance than her. The only person in the compound that gives her a smile is her baby sister Hanabi. How long that will last is anyone's guess. But if she was a betting woman, she would bet when Hanabi starts talking. And when that happens, she would be alone. And she can't take that loss.
Today was another lost, another beating from her father, and being the target for remarks and jokes.
And Hinata is getting tired of it.
So tired of it in fact, she ran out of the compound and into the forest to cry. She knows no one will come to find her. Why should they care anyway? This way, they don't have to look at the so called 'disgrace of the Hyuuga'. As long as she is in her bed when her father checks up on her is all that they care about. So lost in her thoughts, she didn't hear a blond haired boy coming up behind her.
"Are you ok?" Naruto asked will keeping his distance from the crying girl. Last time he tried to talk to a crying girl, he got punched in the face by a pink haired girl and was told to leave her alone and not in those words.
Hinata looks up from her feet, cleans her face off and looks at the person that just asked her a question and gasped. She knew who he was. Everyone knows who he is. Many times when walking with her guards, she has seen the boy get picked on, laughed at, or getting ganged up on trying to hurt him, only to be stopped by the anbu before they cause damage to him. Many times she asked others why is that boy so hated but they never answer her. But what she does know is that this boy is hated among the people. Just like how she is hated among her own family. And she's not a bad person. So maybe this boy is not a bad person also. With that in mind, Hinata stands up, ready to give and answer.
"N-no. I-I'm not okay. N-no matter how hard I t-try, I can't g-get the clans f-fighting style right, M-my father hates m-me, my whole family hates m-me!" Hinata says back.
AND ANSWER! Someone gave Naruto an answer! He asked a question and someone answered him! Not even the old man with that smoky stick in his mouth gave him an answer! And it seems like he's not the only one that people hate. He might even get his first friend also! Maybe she will want to come along with him! That would be awesome!
"I know how it feels to be hated. That's why I'm leaving this place so I have a chance to be happy! I can never be happy here... Hey I know, why don't you come with me! We can watch each others backs and make sure that we both stay happy and to protect each other! My names Naruto by the way! So how bout it" Giving her his hand so she can grab it, "let get away from here! Get away from all the evil looks, evil words, and mean people!"
"Why are we here? To get picked on? To get hurt by others? If that's the case, what are we here for? Let's leave together!"
As Hinata looks at his hands, she thinks about what he said. Why should stay when her own family hates her, Why should stay when her own family want her to leave. Why should she stay, she doesn't belong here anymore. Why should she stay, since her mother is dead, nothing will ever be the same, she will never grow into the person her mother wanted her to be. She wants to be free! She hates the walls around her. She wants to get away. Grabbing his hand, a light blush dusting her cheeks, she gave him another answer.
"M-my name is H-hinata H-h-hyuuga and s-sure! I w-will go with you! B-but first, I want to bring my baby sister with me. I-i don't want my sister to s-suffer like I d-did."
"Ok!" Happy that she wants to go with him, he doesn't care who she brings. He will watch out for them and keep them safe by any means! "I will wait here for you to return! Get what you need and come back here."
"O-Okay. I won't t-take long." And with that, Hinata makes her way back to the compound. Nobody will notice her, they treat her like she's not even there. Like she is not worth the effort. They put my effort in swatting away a bug then her. As she makes her way to her room to get what she needs like clothes and money in her backpack, she makes her way to her sister room where the baby is sound asleep. Grabbing some baby food and clothes and diapers and stuffing them inside a baby bag, Hinata makes her way out the room and out the compound. It was that easy. Nobody cares even if they saw her. Making her way back to the meeting spot, she finds Naruto waiting on her.
"Great! You're here and you brought your sister too! Don't worry! I'll protect to both!" Puffing his little chest out and jabbing his thumb to into his chest, he then says. "You don't have to feel said ever again! Now, I know a way out of the village. I use it all the time when mean people are trying to hurt me. So follow me!" Naruto walks off with Hinata following behind him giggling from his words and body language while holding on to Hanabi thinking she just made the best choice in her young life so far and it's off to adventure, friendship, love, and...
A better life for all three of them!
