"Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war firs and then seek to win"-Sun Tzu
The days had long since stopped having colors; to him they were all shades of gray. He had long since stopped counting the number of times he watched others went about their lives and he was forced to stay in this little box. This box was his cage this box kept him from ever dreaming of seeing the outside this box with a locked door and a barred window. He used to count the days dreaming one day he would be out there running playing, having fun but it was not meant to be, he would forever be trapped. The worst part, it was for him. He was born with a rare defect where he could very easily die from exposure to the outside; this caused them to lock him up in an air-tight room where oxygen was purified before being pumped inside.
At first he was resentful, rebellious he did anything he could to get out spending hours on end clenching the bars trying to rip them off, or banging on the door yet no matter what he tried he could never get out. So his anger and hatred built which caused him to use that chakra, which chakra scared him, it was red and the amount of hatred that poured out of him was terrifying. After that he didn't want to be angry anymore.
So here he sat waiting for the Hokage to visit him, just as he always did, it was truly the only highlight of his dreary days, one small ray of hope in his dark life. So there he sat in the corner, counting the seconds, he was insane, he knew it how could he not be he had been alone for thirteen years, with only one person to talk to, which happened once a day there was no way he was sane after that.
"900,245,710" he counted an insanely high number, however when this is all you had to do you got to high numbers.
"900,245,71-"his counting was interrupted by a knock at the window which caused him to jump, turning he looked at the window, could it be? Was someone there no that was stupid-
There it was again a knocking at his window he her, a girl was knocking at his looking at her she had blonde hair like his that was pulled into a pair of twin tails, and purple eyes that were currently nearly closed to a slit from the smile she was giving him that caused him to blush, on each of her cheeks was three whisker marks giving her a fox like appearance. She waved at him he returned it; she tried to say something that he could not hear so he put his hand against his ear. She seemed to get the hint before pointing at the doorway, and jumping off of the branch. He waited for a few seconds before the sounds of the door opening and then closing reached his ears turning back there was the sound of the air in the other room being recycled with pure air, before his door popped open and she walked in.
Getting a better look at her she wore an orange tracksuit with orange jogging pants, she smiled at him again
"Hey there I'm Naruko how are you" she asked
"Why are you here?" he asked which made her laugh awkwardly
"Well I was talking to Hokage-jiji, and I asked him if there were any lonely people in the village and he told me about you, so I though hey why don't I visit this guy and see if he would like to be my friend" she rambled slightly
"How did you find this place?" was his next question
"Not so big on introductions are ya bro?" she said with a blank stare which made him blush again
"Well if you want to know I took a long time investigating and using my amazing deductive skills, and being the ninja I am to discover the location" she said putting her fist to her heart
This merely made him tilt his head in question which seemed to make her deflate
"I begged Jiji until he told me where you were." She finally said which made him go
"OOOOOOoooohhhhhh" he looked at her for a second before asking
"Are you one of those stalkers Mr. Hokage told me about?" he asked
This caused Naruko to choke on nothing, coughing while punching herself in the chest
"What NO! I just heard that you were lonely and though you could use a friend" she said shock still clear in her voice
The boy took a step back in shock "friends?" he asked
"Yea ya know someone to play with or, just um what's the word… oh yeah hang out with" she said sincerely
The boy looked at her closely "you'll be my friend?" he asked
To which Naruko nodded "yea lets be friends" reaching out her hand she said
"so let's be friends, I'm Naruko it's nice to meet to meet you"
Slowly unsurely he reached out his hand gripping it with hers, her hand was rough but soft at the same time.
"I-I-I" he hesitated was he ready for this? Looking at her smile he made up his mind
"I'm Naruto" he finally said "it's nice to meet you Naruko"
_SCENE BREAK_
THE HOKAGES OFFICE
Looking into his sphere the Hokage could not keep the smile off of his face, when he told Naruko about Naruto he had hoped she would go to him, they both needed someone, and as much as he wanted to be there for them he was the Hokage he had duties to his village, he only hoped that these two kids would be enough for each other he hoped that this would make them feel less lonely.
