Chapter 1: Enough is Enough
"KAKASHI-SENSEI!!!", yelled Naruto as he ran to catch up with the silver-haired Jounin. It was just after their daily haul of D-ranked missions.
"Ma, ma, Naruto, not so loud, I'm not deaf you know.", replied Kakashi. As usual his nose was stuck in the latest copy of Icha Icha Paradise.
" This way I know you can hear me.", Naruto retorted. "Anyway, I need you to help me with my taijutsu because I don't have an actual form and..."
" Sorry Naruto.", Kakashi cut in. "I have to train Sasuke. If you want to improve work on your chakra control then..."
"NO!!", Naruto yelled. " My chakra control won't improve any further with just the tree climbing exercise, I'll need a much more...KAKASHI-SENSEI!!!!"
Unfortunately for Naruto, Kakashi had left via a quick Shunshin(1). With nothing to do, Naruto began walking to Ichiraku's.
"Why does he keep doing this to me?", Naruto wondered as he walked down the road towards Ichiraku's. "Does he think that I don't deserve training or does he think that..OUCH"
Naruto was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice Sakura and Ino coming towards him and walked right into them.
"GRRR, NARUTO, LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!", shrieked Sakura.
"BAKA, YOU'RE GOING TO GET IT!!", screamed Ino.
"Gomen, I wasn't..." But before he could explain the two kunoichi set upon and began pummeling him with their fists. They left him bruised and downtrodden on the side of the street.
"That ought to teach him to pay attention, eh Ino?", said Sakura as they walked away.
"I don't know Sakura, after all he was dead-last wasn't he?", replied Ino.
After they left, Naruto picked himself of the ground, dusted his jumpsuit and continued his walk thinking about the recent event.
"Why does Sakura-chan beat me up almost everyday? Its not like I do anything that bad. Come to think of it, she mostly beats me up just for trying to be nice to her and idolizes Sasuke-teme who ignores her. Urggh, I actually have a crush on this girl?"
He was suddenly woken from his thoughts by a bottle narrowly missing his head. He looked up to see a drunk villager preparing to throw another one.
"Get out of here, you damned demon. You killed my wife and my brother and I vow to avenge them". He threw the other bottle and Naruto dodged it and run away, heading for his sanctuary, the Yondaime's head.
"Why are most of the people I have sworn to protect treating me badly or ignoring me completely? How am I going to protect my precious people if I'm not strong? By Kami.....I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!", Naruto yelled. "No one is ever going to push me around or ignore me again. Why? Because I'll make you pay attention starting today and I will become Hokage."
And Naruto began his quest for power and recognition."
"First stop, HOKAGE TOWER!!! Maybe the old man can help."
