A new day has began, sleeping peacefully in his bed. A young boy about 12 years of age, woke up with quick suddenness as the alarm clock next to his bed rang on with a shrill sound echoing across the room. Rubbing his eyes out as the last remnants of sleepiness left him. He switched the still ringing alarm clock off, and went on to his daily morning ritual. His tan face, with whisker marks on his cheeks, still with tiredness appeared on the mirror as he brushed his teeth, his spiky blonde hair covering his eyes. Then suddenly yesterday's events flashback to him.
'what a fool mizuki was'
Thought to himself the boy named naruto, as he remembered yesterday's events. Where he failed the genin exams at the academy but later on, his teacher mizuki would tell him that there is another way to pass the exam, and that is by stealing the forbidden scroll at the hokage tower, only for him to find out later that night mizuki has deceived him. Mizuki planned to use him as a scapegoat so he can walk away free with the forbidden scroll, not only that mizuki revealed that he hated naruto from the beginning and that is the part where he learned the reason why people hated him. It turns out the now deceased 4th hokage didn't kill the 9 tailed fox, said to be the strongest of tailed beasts as it attacked konoha. Tailed beasts can't be killed because they are immortal, so the 4th hokage did the best thing, he used a dangerous fuinjutsu to seal the Fox inside a baby. That baby is him as he was the only one born on the 8th of October.
'then again its not like I haven't already deduced that' thought naruto rolling his eyes at the mirror.
'i mean its obvious, with the villagers hating and glaring at me whenever I pass them. How stupid does this village think I am! Some of them aren't trying to hide it, calling me a demon whenever I'm close by'
With that he finished his morning routine. Then he opened up his closet for clothes finding only his usual get up consisting of orange jumpsuits with the occasional white shirts.
'kami! The only thing I hate about pretending being stupid and acting oblivious is wearing these monstrous clothes'
Of course he realized that there is nothing he can do about it, as the villagers tend to overprice him whenever he goes shopping and these jumpsuits are the cheapest along with ramen. The only benefit they have is furthering his idiot persona he tends to adopt whenever he is around people. He found that long ago if he hides his intelligence behind a mask, people tend to underestimate him, which suited him just fine as he has no intention of revealing himself just yet. After all the one rule about being a shinobi is never revealing ones secret and he plans to stick by it. He doesn't care if he is being traitorous by doing this, after all he is not the only one keeping secrets, with the 3rd hokage constantly refusing to tell him about his parentage and pariah status.
'once I'm done using all of the village's resources to further my own training, I will leave it to rot on its own destruction' venomously thought naruto as he finished wearing his clothes and began his venture to ichiraku's ramen stand. The ichiraku owner along with his daughter Ayame are the only people who don't hate him with the exception of the 3rd hokage and his academy teacher Iruka amino. For that he will always be great full to them for their kindness but it's not enough for him to stop leaving the village as they are only the minority in a village filled with people that hate him. He begins to notice the glares people give him as he walks along the crowded Street but as usual he ignored them and responded by putting on his mask, giving them his foxy grin showing his teeth.
"ah! Welcome to ichiraku ramen" jovially said an old man with short brown hair, who appeared to be in his early to mid fifties, wearing a grey shirt, and dark jeans both obscured by a white apron, and a white cap on.
"what can I get you this time kid? The usual? We also have a special addition"
"nah! I don't have enough money for that. I'll have the usual miso ramen please, oh! And don't forget to make them three" enthusiastically responded naruto, putting on his idiot mask in full effect'itseffect.
'its kind of funny no one ever notices this, then again its not like anyone would take time to get to know me personally' inwardly thought naruto while rapidly chowing down his noodles 'even the 3rd hokage, the ichiraku' s and Iruka don't know the real me'
"oh! Hey naruto! I heard you passed the exams, congrats!" cordially said a young girl with brown hair and short bangs across her face, who appeared to be about 15 years of age, with the same apron and cap as the old man.
"huh? " a puzzled naruto said broken out of his musings while strands of noodles dangle from his mouth" oh hey Ayame! I told you I'll make it, just you watch! I'll be hokage in no time" he said this while pumping out his fists in the air, his whiskered face stretching into his signature foxy grin, with teeth shinning brightly.
"i guess the special addition is on the house then" responded Ayame giggling slightly at his antics.
"wow! This day keeps getting better and better"
