Chapter 1
In the quiet forest of fire country, resting against a tree, breathing profusely, lay a bloody leaf ninja barely hanging on to life. He is a young man of 22 years, death reaching at him far too soon. In his situation all he can do at the moment is fear for the end and prolong it. Soon the pain overpowers his will to live.
His corpse now lay lifeless against the tree. His name shall be engraved into Konoha's memorial stone, in remembrance of having been killed in action.
-2 years later-
Half of Konoha was angry with a certain blonde at the moment. The aforementioned boy was now fleeing from a mob of angry villagers and academy instructors.
The boy goes by the Name Naruto Uzumaki. He has short spiky blonde hair, blue eyes, and three whisker shaped marks on each cheek. Naruto ran laughing, paint bucket in one hand. He sported his green goggles, orange pants, and a black shirt with his orange jacket tied to his waiste.
"Naaarutoooo! Get back here!"
"Hell no!"
"You damn brat!"
The blonde troublemaker was shockingly cocky for being no more than 5 feet away from a very angry mob.
"You guy's will never catch me, just give it up, cause I'm that good!"
At that Naruto sprinted around a corner. The mob followed. Upon seeing Naruto no where in sight the group picked up the pace in an attempt to catch up to the boy. Meanwhile Naruto peeked his head over a fence patterned cloth, and smirked.
"Ha, fooled by disguise jutsu, and they call me an idiot" gloated the blonde.
"What do you have to say for yourself Naruto?" Naruto froze at the voice and turned around to see a silver haired man.
The man was a ninja, a chunin to be exact. His silver hair came to above his shoulders and was covered by a bandana, which held his hitai-ate, signifying him as a ninja of the leaf. He wore a green chunin vest over a dark blue long sleeved shirt with dark blue pants.
"Well, you see Mizuki-sensei…yeah" Naruto stared sheepishly at his sensei, not knowing what to say.
"You defiled the Hokage monument and caused quite the ruckus around the village, what punishment is befitting for your actions eh, Naruto?"
The calm demeanor of his appearance and casual way of speech scared Naruto senseless.
"Ah, well…how about no punishment eh?"
The look Mizuki gave Naruto told him the answer to that was 'NO!'.
"But…well…Ah, I'm going to become hokage one day and surpass all of those guys! Then everyone will love and respect me, so this doesn't matter"
"Is that so. Did you already forget that you failed the genin exam a second time?"
Naruto frowned at his senseis words.
"You're so mean Mizuki sensei, and next year I'll definitely pass. I will become the next Hokage!"
"Sure Naruto, by the way I don't care if it takes you all night and day but you are not leaving that monument until it's spotless."
"Such an evil sensei" mumbled Naruto under his breath.
Naruto then began walking towards the monument with Mizuki at his side.
Naruto grumbled about stupid senseis as he scrubbed the graffiti he inflicted upon the past four hokage's faces.
"You don't have to stay and watch me you know, I'm not a child" blurted out Naruto.
"Yes I do and yes you are" was Mizuki's reply.
Naruto grit his teeth and continued his cleaning.
-Later that night-
"Finally, I'm done!" Naruto rejoiced at his accomplishment.
"See ya later Mizuki-sensei"
"Hold on there Naruto, I'll walk you home"
"I'm not a child!"
"Yes you are"
Naruto was preparing to tell his sensei off when he got a bright idea.
"Hey, can you take me out for Ramen first?" at saying this Naruto looked at his sensei with a big smile full of expectations.
"Sure"
"Alright! You're not totally evil after all. To Itchiraku Ramen!"
Naruto then proceeded to run off, leaving Mizuki behind.
"Hold up, Naruto!"
