"YOU ARE WHAT YOU HATE "
CHAPTER 1 "I don't like stories!!"
It's a normal day in the Leaf Village. The Village is at peace after the war, but still mourns the death of Sarutobi, The Third Hokage. Thankfully, Tsunade has just been granted rank of Konoha's Fifth Hokage. As a celebration, the village now holds a festival in her honor……
"A what?" says Naruto.
"A festival." says Jiraiya. "And your going whether you like it or not"
"Fine." said Naruto. "But, the other Genin won't be there. I'm sure of it. They're probably out training. I can't let them pass me. I'll be the one to pass them. Believe it!!"
"Naruto …. Please shut-up….. Thank you. Sakura, Sauske, and Kakashi will be there. So you don't have to stay with me. Besides, I'm not going."
"Where are you going, Pervy Siege?" said Naruto.
"I going to spend my time elsewhere"
"Let me guess you're going to do more research. (Thinking) Perve…..
"No I'm not gonna do that…..well…..not yet; you see…….um……I'm going to play cards with Shizune."
"What?" gasped Naruto.
"You heard me, now stop wasting time. You have to go now"
"Bye" (mumbles)
The villagers now prepare the village for the festival. Tents are set up, food stands and games are prepared, and the streets are cleared for the parades. It's 12:00 P.M. and the festival was now beginning……..
(Iruka speaking) "Good afternoon, all fellow ninja of the Leaf Village. We are happy that the war is over and the village has been rebuilt. Too, we have a Fifth Hokage ….. Tsunade!!!
(APPLAUSE)
(Naruto speaking) "This is boring. Only adults are here. That's it, I'm leaving."
"Going so soon?" said a man. "Please step into the tent. We have a special guest who's telling the younger ones a great story."
"I don't like stories." said Naruto.
"Shame; this visitor knew the First Hokage personally, and he's very old. You can a least show your respect. He came from a far away village."
"Fine, whatever" said Naruto.
Naruto now steps in and sees many children from the Academy listening to this mysterious visitor.
"I don't wanna be around these no-good" – "Hey Naruto" said Konohamaru.
"Uh…hey. What are you doing here?"
"That old guy sitting over there is telling us his life story. It's really cool"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Have you seen Sauske, Sakura, & Kakashi?"
"Yep. There sitting right there."
Naruto looked behind him and saw the three of them sitting. He was surprised to see that Sakura and Sauske were the only Genin here.
"Hey Kakashi!" yelled Naruto.
(No reply)
"Kakashi!!"
"……….yes Naruto"
"Why are you of all people listening to this old man?"
"I'm not listening. It was too loud outside to read, so I….. came in here. Besides, I think any minute now, that old man is gonna kill over."
"Sauske!" yelled Naruto.
"………." said Sauske.
"O……K….Hi Sakura!"
—We will stop now and see just what Naruto is thinking……
♫ She's all I'd ever want ♫
♫ She's got style, she's got Funk ♫
♫ She's a Lady ♫
♫ WO! WO! WO! ♫
Ok, lets continue
"Hey Naruto" said Sakura. "Did some guy bring you in here too?"
"Yep"
"Well you might as well sit down and listen. After all, there's nothing else to do right?"
"Yeah"
"Oh. Hi Naruto" mumbled Sauske. (Thinking) "Loser….."
Now the mysterious old man went on with his story and finally reached the climax of it. But this was no ordinary man, as two people there would find out soon enough……
"And now…." said the 98 year old man.
"I will show you the hand signs for an ancient jutsu my Master thought me. It was used against enemies in war. I don't have enough chakra to actually do the jutsu, that's why I'm only showing the hand signs. This technique is so ancient, it requires 20 hand signs!! (Cough Cough)To bad I forgot what this move does and what it's called. But I do know it can cause great confusion."
"Get on with it already!" yelled the children.
"Yeah"said Naruto. "I got a busy day ahead of me."
"Well," said the old man. "Here it goes…..Domo, Re, Fa, Ha, Quady……………………………………TORI!!!!"
