Hello, my name is Naruto Uzumaki. I am 15 years old and I live with my father, Minato Namazaki and his pet fox, Bii. My father was 16 when he met my mother and she was 15. He never told how they met or why they never got married. The only thing I ever knew about her was that I got her last name.

In the memories I have of her, she's never smiling. At least, she's never smiling at me. She was mean to me. She called me a monster and punished me every chance she got. I don't think she ever loved me, so how could I have ever loved her? Maternal bond, there never were any. So you shouldn't be surprised when I say that I wasn't sad when she died. I never shed one tear over her death, not even at her funeral. After she left, my dad came.

My dad and I have a lot in common. We have the same dark blonde hair, the same ocean blue eyes, the same sun tanned skin, even the same birthday. The only thing I got from my mom was her last name.
