So It Begins

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Toriko.

Time: Unknown, Place: Konohagakure (Village Hidden behind the Leaf);

A figure, concealed by shadows since it was nighttime, was running through the alleyways of Konohagakure, his breath was ragged and he repeatedly looked behind as if he was being followed or stalked. Fortunate for him, no one else appeared for a while so he decided that he managed to lose his pursuers and looked for a place to relax. He found a rock nearby which looked comfortable so he sat down on it and sighed

"What did I ever do to them?" the figure asked himself, "They said that I am a demon, someone who killed their loved ones. But I don't remember doing such things, so why should I be treated like a monster for just being born?" The figure started to cry and his words drowned in the tears causing them to be mumbled up and cannot be understood. He was about to fall asleep when the rock imploded and he fell down a hole.

'Is this it? Is this the punishment for my existence that is finally here?' The figure calmly thought to him when he felt like he landed on something soft. He looked around and saw that he landed on a mattress which was weird to find in a dark room. The figure looked for a light and bumped into a switch that let it up like the sun in the afternoon so we can look at the figure better; he was a boy of six with an orange jumpsuit that was dirty and in rags while his hands and face were bruised and covered in dirt. He was Naruto Uzumaki, an orphan boy who is treated like a plague by the citizens of the village and hunted down by the ninja.

He was amazed at the layout of the room, it looked like a library; it had selves filled to capacity with books and scrolls, even more than the Konoha library. Naruto was once told that every Hokage that ever live and took the rank was well read in books on history and Chakra (Power created by combining Physical Energy and Mental Energy) Theories. Naruto attempted to try out the Konoha Library but the head librarian threw him out on the first try thinking if she can keep 'the demon' from reading the books of the village, he won't be able to tell the other 'weak' villages their secrets. What she didn't know was that she gave Naruto an exercise on stealth and sneaking around as he was able to get in the library during closing hours and still got to read the books. The thing was that the librarians never caught Naruto during their night shift.

Naruto was amazed that there were books on everything that made up a village but what really made him confused was that there was a book on Chakra and Jutsu (Techniques) next a book on a different subject; this meant that the owner of this was neat but was more interested in Justu. Then Naruto found a pair of books on Fuinjutsu (Sealing Techniques) with everything about the levels on the subject. Naruto was told by the Third Hokage (Fire Shadow) that Fuinjutsu was a type of Jutsu that is going extinct because people that knew it were dead leaving only those who were taught very little of; still, it was a power style of Jutsu since it has unlimited affects generated on scrolls and paper. Naruto thought that if he can learn everything on Fuinjutsu, he can be a very powerful ninja. The Third Hokage understood Naruto's thirst for knowledge and gave him a book on calligraphy since Naruto needed to learn how to write seals faster if he was going to be better at it; once he mastered calligraphy, he can make a thousand seals in one single day. Naruto has been practicing ever since.

Naruto thought that he can copy these books so he went looking for some paper to use and found a desk with a notebook on it. Naruto looked at it and recognized letters for 'Created Jutsu'; he wasn't naïve and dumb to know that this person who wrote in this notebook has made Jutsu that was recorded in achieves on the subject. Naruto couldn't even contain his excitement of learning what others do not know of; he could take them by surprise and actually get acknowledged for his creativity. Still, he didn't want to be a thief so he remembered to look for the author's name and he found it: Mirc Thomas.

Naruto went back to look for paper when he felt someone touch his shoulder, he was found out for the first time in years! Naruto panicked and dropped the books and turned to see a man wearing cloak with his face and body concealed in it. "I am sorry!" Naruto yelled, "I am sorry I am trespassing and touching what isn't mine so don't hit me! Please!"

The Stranger was amazed that a child will be so worked up over such a little thing and will be afraid to be hit; his bruised up body proved it. He sighed, "It is okay little one. I was about to praise you for being able to find this place." Naruto was confused by the Stranger's words and responded,

"Oh. Sorry, Thomas-san." The Stranger stiffened which Naruto thought was a sign that he struck and nerve when the stranger started to laugh.

"How did you know my name without me telling you?" Naruto was brightening up that he got it right and didn't get him angry,

"While I was looking in the books, I noticed that the name 'Mirc Thomas' was in the first book you picked up in a way that you were examining it to see it was damaged. This isn't a library because all of the books have that name on and when you said that most can't find this place, I thought you owned this room and the books so I assumed the name was your own." Naruto explained like a master detective for a six year old.

"You know kid; you sounded like the first Nara that isn't lazy." Now Naruto was confused; was it obvious or not? "How do I know you are not lazy? I noticed that you eagerly handled the books form the selves; I seen how Naras do it, they are much slower and still look bored." Mirc said similar to Naruto's explanation that got the latter amazed.

"Can I be like you?" Naruto asked which got Mirc confused; no one has ever asked him that before.

"You want to be clever and strong like me?" Mirc asked for clarification and Naruto nodded. This began what to be the best thing that ever happened to Naruto.
