Chapter 1: The Boy with the Blue eyes
No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes
The wind blew gently through the trees causing the leaves to tumble to the ground in a whirlwind of reds, yellows, and oranges. The fallen leaves crunched under the feet of a lone walker on a nippy autumn morning. The figure was Naruto Uzamaki, age 17. Naruto was an orphan, an outcast, alienated because of what was inside him, the nine tailed fox demon. Naruto, for as long as he could remember has been a drifter— having no real place to call home; he would switch foster parents every few weeks because each time he would get into trouble and the foster parents found themselves unable to control him. So, he would find himself shipped off to another home, with another 'family' and the cycle would start all over again. Since his own parents died when he was very young, Naruto has never felt what it was like to be loved or have a family, someone to help him through the bad times which was pretty much every day of his life since his parents strange death which happened shortly after his birth which happened shortly after the nine tailed fox demon destroyed the Leaf Village. Ever since then the name 'Demon Boy' began circulating and stuck to him like gum in hair or mud on a pig. He did not know why people called him that or looked at him like he was trash and a monster, in his mind he did nothing wrong— he was just a kid after all, how could he be a monster?
Naruto stuffed his hands in the pockets of his hoodie which was black with orange flames creeping up the hood met at the front. He wore loose jeans that had a few rips in them; an orange skater's shirt hung loosely on him and had a black swirl in the center of it. He shivered a bit, although he had a hoodie on, it was old and for an autumn morning it was unusually cold so Naruto was a bit cold but he ignored it and continued listening to his ipod. He saw a couple walking by him, he waved and gave them a friendly smile and they returned it with a look of disgust and accusing, he heard the man mutter
"Why they let the Demon Child into the academy I'll never know, guess its standards are not what they used to be, it's sad." ((AN: OK so the way that it is set up is that the Academy is sort of like a High school… its where you learn not only shinobi skills but other subjects as well. Once you graduate the Academy it's the equivalent of being promoted to Jonnin or ANBU))
Naruto stiffened a bit and his hands clenched into fists as he heard the man's comment, he had half a mind to go over there and punch him in the face and send him flying but what good would that do? It would just confirm everyone's view of him, that he was an uncontrollable demon child, no matter what it was always a lose-lose situation for him.
"I'll show him… that asshole won't know what hit him when I become Hokage, dattebayo!"
Naruto muttered under his breath as he smirked at the idea of being Hokage and proving everyone who doubted him or ever called him Demon boy wrong; they would look up to him and respect him. He kept this idea in his head until he got to the Academy and reality set in. He looked up at the concrete building with the Leaf symbol in bright red and black hung proudly in the middle; he looked at it for a minute before running in with the other students at the sound of the bell.
"Time for another day of hell… oh well… Just think Naruto soon you will be out of here and on your way to being Hokage, dattebayo!"
Naruto thought as he pumped his fist in the air and had his usual go lucky smile on his face as he darted in. Unknown to everyone else, his smile was a mask: his happiness, his pranks all of it was a mask to hide how lonely he was and how much the name Demon child stung him. But he would never give those people the satisfaction of seeing that side of him, if he showed it he would have lost and no one would take him seriously about his dream of being Hokage someday. Though he knew it was ambitious and heck near impossible but that is what made it all the more exciting and all the more crucial that he achieves it. In the class he looked out the window as Jiraya-sensei—or Ero-Sennin or just Pervy-sage as Naruto liked to call him as well as everyone else though Naruto was the only brave one to call him that to his face— was talking about his new book that he would no doubt make them suffer through for homework.
He looked at Hokage mountain, he focused mainly on the outline of his father, the Fourth, one of the most revered and powerful of the Hokage's; it was him that saved the Leaf from the Nine Tailed fox with his sacrifice and he left behind his son to carry the burden of the nine tailed fox. His current foster parent told him all about his past and what his father did to save the village; Iruka was his name and so far out of all his foster parents he liked Iruka the best— mainly because unlike the others Iruka actually cares about what happens to Naruto as well as his school work. Iruka is like the Dad he never had and for that Naruto is grateful and happy that there is at least one good thing in his life besides ramen and his dream. He did feel a bit of resentment toward his father for placing the burden of the demon on his own son, why would he wish this kind of life on his son? Naruto made a silent vow to surpass his father and be the best Hokage that the Leaf has ever seen,
"Naruto…. Naruto…. NARUTO! PAY ATTENTION!"
Jiraya's voice rang through Naruto's ears and snapped him out of his day dream, Naruto rubbed his head and frowned as he yawned not even attempting to hide the fact that he zoned out which caused some of the students to sigh,
"Can I help you Ero- Sennin?"
Naruto said in a teasing voice as he smirked when heard a few giggles from the class, Jiraya's face turned red matching the red tears that came from his eyes. His eyes twitched and he cleared his throat, he made a gesture to strangle the blonde haired boy but remembered that he was already on thin ice for peeping in the women's changing room in the teacher's lounge— it was for research for he is a well known author of Ichi Ichi Paradise and in order to make the book relatable to real life he needed to do research. He tried explaining this to a very pissed Tsunade who punched him so hard he only saw stars for weeks—he shook his head to clear away the image of a pissed Tsunade who was the fifth Hokage and Principal of the Academy.
"My name is Jiraya-sensei! Grrr… just for that you get two hours of detention Uzamaki! Ha ha how do you like those apples?"
Jiraya said triumphantly and had smirked as he felt he had won, but was thwarted by Naruto's lack of care,
"So? Big deal… I call them as I see them Ero-Sennin, now go on, go back to teaching the class how to be a pervert like you, though that might be hard because you are the King after all."
Naruto said in a bored tone as he shrugged and went back to zoning out, he did not even bother with the non shinobi subjects, what he needed to be a great Hokage was strength and awesome jutsu not how the best way to spy on naked girls and not get caught, pointless so why even bother with it. Jiraya decided to give up on Naruto so he went back to talking about his new book and the sound of groans were heard when they were given the dreadful task of reading his latest book then writing a three paged narrative of it for homework. The bell rang signaling the end of class and the class could not get out of the class fast enough, the boys were covering their oncoming nose bleeds and the girls were shaking and heading to the bathroom to try and wash the image from their mind. Naruto took his time getting his stuff together and sauntered out of the room to head to his next class which was math with Ms. Long, that class was almost as bad as Pervy Sage's class because it dragged on and it was his worst subject. Jiriya watched Naruto leave and a thoughtful, yet sad look on his face as he walked over to the window and looked at the Hokage Mountain, focusing on Minato's face,
"He really is your son Minato…"
Jiriaya muttered jokingly as smirked and chuckled a bit as he shook his head and turned away from the window to get ready for his next class. Jiraya did have a soft spot for Naruto though, he would never show it, he really wanted him to do well along which is why he pushed him and endured his jabbing even though he was tempted to go sage mode on him.
Naruto walked into math class and took his normal seat, in the back near the window and proceeded to put on his headphones when vice principal Shizune walked in leading a shy, pretty girl with long midnight hair; she kept looking at her feet and twirling her thumbs, she seemed nervous as if at any moment someone would attack her. She was wearing dark blue jeans that slightly sparkled and hugged her legs; showing off her curves, a cream colored hoodie with a dyed purple t-shirt underneath and purple flats, she had a purple butterfly clip in her hair and kept tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear,
"Hm, I wonder who she is…. She looks familiar. Why is she looking down? She is pretty but she seems weird and quiet… whatever."
Naruto thought as he sighed and rested his cheek on his hand and looked forward, he had one of his ear buds out so as to catch the girl's name then he would go back to listening to his ipod and ignoring Ms. Long's death glares. Shizune coughed and had a sweet smile on her face as she gently nudged the girl forward and patted her on the shoulder,
"Everyone, this is Hinata Hyuuga she is a new student here and up until now she has been home schooled so I want every one of you to welcome her and help her if she needs it, got it? Good, I will leave you to your class."
Shizune said in a business like tone as she patted Hinata on the head again and walked out of the door to finish Tsunade's paper work, seeing how the Hokage is either to hung over or drunk to finish it off herself. Ms. Long nodded and gave a curt welcome to Hinata then told her to sit in the back next to Naruto, the kids snickered as she walked back to the spaced out blonde and took her seat next to him. Naruto noticed that someone was sitting next to him which was strange because most of the students avoid him as much as possible. He looked over and noticed it was the weird girl, Hinata, he had a big smile on his face, he leaned in so their faces were only a few inches apart, Hinata's face became bright red at how close they were,
"Hi there! I'm Naruto Uzamaki, Hinata right? Hey why is your face all red?"
Naruto asked bluntly as he poked her red cheek which made it turn even redder at his touch, he pulled back a bit and had a slightly hesitant expression on his face, she did not smack him or anything for touching her most girls here would beat him into a pulp example Sakura , Ino, Tenten…. Naruto got shivers thinking about it,
"Y-Yes m-my n-name i-is H-H-Hinata, i-i-it's n-nice t-to m-meet y-you N-Naruto."
Hinata whispered and had a small smile on her face, Naruto smiled this girl was weird but she seemed friendly and he called her Naruto instead of Demon boy, the girl was weird he could already tell but she was pretty, her eyes were soft and lavender because of her Hyuuga heritage but even still they were pretty,
"Heh, nice to meet you Hinata. If you have any questions, I'm your man. He he."
Naruto said in a overly enthusiastic tone and had a used car salesman cheesy smile on which made Hinata giggle, Naruto had a small smile, he liked her laugh it was innocent and child like. Ms. Long noticed that two of her students were not paying attention and proceeded to snap her ruler on the desk which woke some of the sleeping students,
"Mr. Uzamaki, would you like to share to the whole class what is so funny and why you are distracting Ms. Hyuuga?"
Ms. Long said in a annoyed voice as she arched one of her eyebrows, Hinata stiffened and had a worried look on her face as a Hyuuga she was trained to obey and be quiet with her elders, of course Naruto does not possess the Hyuuga manners,
"Sure, I was telling Hinata how I am slowly dying of boredom from your class."
Naruto said in a truthful voice as he had an innocent smile on his face, the other students sighed but smirked a bit because they agreed with him though they would never have the guts to say that to Ms. Long which is why Naruto was there, to speak everyone's mind and to take the blame. Ms. Long sighed,
"Principal's office Uzamaki, Miss Hyuuga I apologize for the annoyance. I promise that next class I will sit you far away from that boy, he's nothing but trouble. Now class back to polynomials,"
Ms. Long assured Hinata as Naruto shrugged and walked out of the room giving Hinata a small smile as he did so. Little did the teacher know that he heard her comment, it stung a bit but he was slowly becoming numb to the comments and the glares he received as he headed to the office. On the way he was thinking about that Hinata girl and how weird she was yet pretty and how she actually stayed instead of moving away from him; she was strange.
"Maybe she's different…nah… she is just new, it is only a matter of time before she acts just like everyone else."
Naruto thought bitterly as he stuffed his hands in his pockets and frowned as he walked into the office, sitting in his usual seat as he waited to be called in.
Hinata watched as the blonde boy walked off and felt a pang of pity for him; she blushed slightly and only nodded slightly at Ms. Long's comment. She focused back on the lesson though part of her was thinking about Naruto and why the teacher would say something like that about him and why the students avoided him and almost seemed bothered by his very presence, he seemed like a nice guy though when she looked into his cerulean eyes she could see sadness behind the happiness. She wondered how much pain and loneliness he hid behind those blue eyes.
