Subversive Intentions

This is going to be a long story. And I am going to point out something here, this is how EACH character in mind should have been like in my opinoin. They may seem OOC but roll with it. I will be starting off in childhood

here we go

A Young boy looked out through his window. It was very early and the sun had just started to rise. He had already made his bed and warmed up some bread he had stolen from the baker the other day. He knew it was wrong but he had no money or well most of it went for rent of course. Plus, the boy thought that stealing would help him practice stealth... and it did. The boy got up and walked to his kitchen and popped out the bread from the old oven he had procured from a resident's home. He actually didn't feel guilty about this one because they were throwing it out anyways. He might as well do them the favor of taking it for them. The boy ate his bread and walked into his bedroom. It was a small apartment, but the boy didn't mind. There was a bed for him to sleep, albeit it was old and smelled. The couch was nice and comfy even thought it was old and ripped. The kitchen was nice but the boy had to scavenge for things to use as cooking utensils. The boy walked outside carefully shutting the door and locking it. He didn't have to worry about the windows because Ji-JI had ordered some kind of reinforced chakra glass to protect it. He had thrown a couple rocks at it to test it out and it didn't even leave a mark. The boy only hoped that he window would last against bricks or knives.

The boy walked down the stairs slowly checking to see if anyone was there. He lifted up the shoulder of his baggy clothes that usually hung over his shoulder since it was too big. He had gotten it from the charity drive where the people would give old clothes. He had gotten this in a box which he stole because no one would give him anything. If everyone got one so should he right? The boy looked too a deep breath and let a relieved sigh. No one, good that meant they weren't hunting for him any more. It was not the adults or Ninjas that were hunting him but the kids. Ever since he had gotten out of the Orphanage at the age of 5 a year ago, he had been living on his own. A lot of kids were jealous of that but he didn't care. It wasn't that great living alone. Sure you got to call your own bed time, do your homework or not, but … there was no one was to fuss over you. No one to tell you what to do. But he had long past that, he was used to being alone. He had learned how to cook and clean by himself. He learned how to repair his own clothes from the library. The lady there was nice and she didn't glare at him like many of the others did. But she said not to check out any books. He agreed with her... he didn't want anyone treating them bad because he was holding them. He had learned his lesson from before.

The boy walked down the street, the morning air cold, so he could see his breath. It felt good to be out. He usually stayed in his room because it was... not safe to go outside.

"Hey Fox Face." The newly named fox face stopped as he heard a voice behind him. He turned to see a group of 3 boys, ranging from the ages seven to nine were glaring at him. The boy didn't remember their names but he did remember beating the shit out of them because they tried to put trash in front of his apartment block .

The boy turned to them and glared back. "what do you want?"

The biggest boy in the middle glared at him bulging his face trying to look intimidating. "You knocked out Dakeshi's front teeth. You're going to get it."

The boy sighed. He remembered fighting a group of kids over something but he didn't remember what, "well come and get it I have to go to the Academy." The kid said tiredly.

The boy on the side of middle one growled at him, "Just because you get to go to Ninja Academy doesn't mean you can just look down on us."

The lone boy looked uninterested, "I am not the one challenging with 3 kids so hurry up. I really don't give a damn if you want to fight or not. I am waiting for your choice."

They finally snapped and charged at the boy. The lead boy swung clumsily at the other boy's face. The 'Fox face' ducked under it, grabbing the lead's boy arm with his left hand while moving to the side. He spun on his left leg turning his body around and the let his right arm out. He used his elbow to plow into the boy's ribcage. The boy yelped in pain. The 'fox face' boy moved his right arm back as the lead boy clutched his ribs. The 'fox face' boy back fist the lead boy knocking him down. The boy who was previously on the right side of the boy tried to kick the Fox Face. The Fox face grabbed the leg easily with his left arm and the stepped in with his left leg. This made the boy off balance. The Fox faced boy finished this boy off by using his right hand to smash into the boy's throat. The boy collapsed in pain.

The final boy tried to punch from behind but the Fox face boy already felt it coming. He ducked under the punch and grabbed the arm as it over shot his right shoulder. The fox face boy reared his head backward smashing his head into the boy's throat. Finally the Fox face boy bent forward while holding the arm and pushed upwards. The boy flipped over Fox face's shoulder and slammed into the wall.

Fox face let go of the boy's arm and started to walk away. The lead boy who was recovering slightly called out, "Fuck you Fox bastard."

The fox boy turned back and looked at the boy on the ground and knelt down. The lead boy grew fearful and shut his mouth. The fox boy looked at the boy with suppressed fury. The fox boy had whisker marks on his cheeks giving him the annoying nickname. The boy hated that name. He hated this village. This fucking dump was nothing but a pit of despair only for him to get lost in. The boy looked into the other boy's eye and growled out, "My name is Naruto."

Naruto reached up and punched downwards.

Academy

Sasuke was not like his brother in anyway. He wasn't that cold nor was he that strong. He was just an above average nin or an average Uchiha. But for some reason girls 'liked' him. He didn't understand it and he thought it was weird. Why were they sucking up to him? Why did they want to talk to him? Not all the girls wanted to do that but many of them did. There was the elite Hyuuga girl, Hinata. She was cold and stoic. She didn't start any conversation nor would she make any faces. She answered politely if asked and in very short sentences. Unlike the other Hyuuga he had seen working with his brother, Hinata did not boast about the Hyuuga. When Sasuke had asked her about it, She said that she did not have the power to back that statement up so she was only inflating her own ego. Sasuke took her word to heart and promised to improve himself to match the Uchiha name.

And then there was Sakura. The girl was really weird. She didn't even look at boys and most of the time she didn't even acknowledge anyone's existence. She simply read books in her free time with her red reading glasses. When sasuke had asked her about her book, she said she was reading on some medical things and sasuke's head hurt to even hear the details about it. But she was real nice, Sasuke hoped to be friends with her later.

Iruka-sensei looked down and up the rows checking to see if everyone is there. Iruka-sensei sighed "it looks like we are missing-"

Just as he was about to finish, their missing student came in. Sasuke didn't understand the boy who had just entered. He almost always came in late and was usually dirty. Didn't his parents take care of him or reprimand him for being late?

Iruka turned to the boy and sighed. "What is it this time Naruto?"

The student in question just looked at Iruka shallowly and shrugged, "It took me longer to fight of some kids to get here."

Kiba, the brother of the Inuzaku heir, laughed at Naruto, "Yea right you probably fell and cried all the way here."

Naruto turned his eyes stoically towards Kiba. Sasuke shivered, he didn't like those eyes. They seemed so... dead. Naruto didn't say anything and walked up the steps and went behind Hinata. Hinata didn't even give him a second glance as he passed nor did Naruto look at her.

Sasuke looked way from the boy and turned his attention back to Iruka-sensei. He didn't hate the boy but he just thought he was weird.

Iruka sighed as he watched Naruto go up the steps. He knew that Naruto was being picked on bullies, it was not new news to him. He had heard from some nins that Naruto was regularly fighting with kids from his old orphanage. But the recent reports were saying that Naruto was getting quite good at it. Iruka called out to the group, "Today we will be covering Taijutsu everyone step outside."

Later

Hinata walked out to the convenience store she always goes to once a month. Every single time on this day on every month she would go to the convenience store to pick something up. She used to do it with her mother before she died but now she did it by herself. Hinata walked down by herself as she passed through the alleys. It was on this day she witnessed something interesting. The ruffian Naruto was fighting again. Hinata paused as she saw that Naruto was severely out matched. There were about 5 boys having him backed against a wall. Naruto looked at them defiantly as he held up one fist closed and the other open. 'He won't last long' Hinata thought. She didn't think he was weak but there was no way a kid in the academy could simply fight his way out of this situation through brute strength. She had seen him during the Taijutsu section, while he was not the worst, he was hardly the best. Hinata almost had the notion to go and help him but she restrained herself to watch from a distance. Something inside her wanted to see how far the boy could go.

One of the boys tried to punch Naruto. Naruto side stepped and grabbed the boy's arm and head slamming him into the wall. Naruto was still facing away from the wall when he pulled the boy back and then kneed him in the stomach. Least to say the boy fell down crying. The next boy on Naruto's left attacked with a large stick that probably came from a stand or something. Naruto moved forward under the stick and once more grabbed the arm. He then used his right hand to hit upwards on his attacker's elbow. The boy wielding the stick screamed as Hinata heard a small pop. Hinata raised an eyebrow, this boy knew where to strike but he didn't show this aptitude in Taijutsu practice. Naruto moved back letting that boy fall to the ground withering in pain. The other boys charged at once hoping to overwhelm him. Naruto picked up the stick and swung it hard at the closest boy. Naruto easily connected and the boy slammed to the ground clutching his head. Naruto wasn't able to recover in time as one of the boy closed the distance and grabbed Naruto.

Hinata eyes widened and moved forward unconsciously to help Naruto but she stopped as Naruto did something unexpected. While the other boy, who was not holding Naruto, tried to punch Naruto, Naruto jumped up with both legs and slammed his feet into the boy's face. Naruto then used the boy's face as a platform and flipped over the boy holding him. Naruto landed behind and kicked the final boy in the down low area. Hinata winced as she saw the boy cough and fall down crying Naruto looked at the withering boys on the ground, his face cold and angry. Hinata felt a rush of something in her chest. Was this fear? Anticipation? She didn't recognize this emotion. It wasn't the feeling she got from when she beat Hanabi on their monthly spars. It wasn't the feeling she got when she saw her cousin train. This was a glorifying feeling it felt exhilarating.

Naruto started to walk towards her and Hinata froze up. Naruto walked past her without a second glance. Hinata turned and looked at his retreating form. Hinata would watch out for Naruto Uzumaki alright, she would definitely watch out for him.

Sakura

The young girl sat in her usual corner in the library. She always sat there. She knew all the librarian workers by first name as she became familiar with them. She would even know more than the new trainees as she had been here many more times than them. She loved these books. Books never lied, there were either facts or told wondrous stories. Either way you could imagine the world they gave you. They would never hint at things, but only suggest greater possibility. Her parents never did that. They always lied. They always told her things that she knew weren't true. They were never going to come home early. They always left her alone. They never did anything for her.

Sakura pushed her red reading glasses up as she started to read on Training regiments for beginning students. Sakura liked to think things through. She loved to explore. She learned not to under cut things or sweeten things. She didn't want to be what one of the books called a romantic helpless. Nor did she want to be the cannon fodder that was spoken in this book. Sakura kept reading as the book started to talk about ways to improve one's muscles which in turn would help one build endurance for chakra.

'So I have to do several push ups and exercises in the morning on one day. And then I work on my legs and then my stomach next day in the morning. ' Sakura tilted her head. But why did they alternate between the work, why not all at once. Sakura kept reading and saw that the book referenced muscle recovery. Sakura remembered reading that in a book on treating Coma patients. She bit her lip as she tried to remember. 'As muscles are ripped they are stretched and broken in the sense the tissue are very weak. If one were to leave them alone for one day they would grow to become stronger tissue, thus you develop 'muscle tissue' by ripping the muscles and letting it rebuild.' Sakura nodded to herself as she remembered. She always remembered things after she read them once. She didn't know why but she could picture the words right in front of her eyes if she wanted. Sakura got up and took the book with her. She walked over to the librarian and smiled at her, "Hello Tami-san"

Tami looked the desk to see her favorite customer. "ah, Sakura-chan checking out your daily set?"

Sakura nodded and smiled. "Yea, But um... I don't have a good fantasy book."

Tami thought to herself for a bit and then brightened as she thought of something. Tami told Sakura, "Wait a bit, I'll be right out."

Tami walked into the back of the room for a minute and came back smiling. "Here you go this is quite a good book even if it is a long read. Sakura took it in her hands and read the title, "Lord of Kyoami."

Sakura looked up and smiled back, "Thank you Tami-san."

Tami nodded at her and waved her off.

Sakura walked out smiling. This was good, she would have a book to entertain herself through the night. She would probably go to bed before 11:00 because her parents would come back home later. Then should would get up at 7:00 and leave before her parents got up. Sakura sighed and looked down. She wondered what her parents left at the table. It was either hospital food or some take out like always. As sakura was walking she accidentally bumped into someone.

Sakura moved back, dropping her books and holding her head. "Ow." She said softly as she looked up to see who she hit. The person she hit was an older boy probably by a couple years. He had very dark eyes and equally dark hair. Sakura immediately recognized the symbol on the man's shoulder. Sakura bowed once to apologize. "I am sorry, Uchiha-san." the Uchiha smiled at her and was about to say it was ok.

As he was doing this, someone had caught up to this Uchiha. "Nii-san Why did you run ahead that was mean?"

Sakura looked at the person who had caught up and saw it was the boy in her class. The Uchiha in her class. Sakura smiled politely, "hello Sasuke-san."

Sasuke stopped and noticed Sakura and smiled at her. "Hello Sakura-chan."

sakura blinked at the honorific. The Older Uchiha noticed the Honorific also and smiled. "So, Otouto, You have a little crush."

Sasuke's eyes widened as he looked aghast "NII-SAN" Sasuke called out. "She's just a girl in my class." Sasuke mumbled the last few words as he looked down, a bit red faced.

The older Uchiha laughed as he tried to tease even more. He looked over to Sakura and bowed slightly, "Take care of my brother, he is never the most careful of people"

Sakura blinked and for some reason felt a bit uneasy in her stomach. "O-of course. Uchiha-san."

The older uchiha wagged his finger, "You might as well start calling me Brother-in-law."

Sakura eyes widened like owls, and blinked slowly. "Wha-"

She was cut off as Sasuke tried to hit his brother. "Brother don't do that to her."

The older Uchiha just laughed as he warded away his brothers attempt to hit him. The older Uchiha turned to Sakura and said, "Well Sakura-san it was nice meeting you."

Sakura bowed and picked up her books and ran quickly away. She held the books tightly to her chest. As she was walking, she rolled her eyes and thought to herself with an annoyance, 'boys are so annoying.' She preferred a good book than a conversation with a boy.

Sakura walked to the front door of her house. She reached under the old gnome and pulled out her key. She opened the house and walked in, shutting the door silently and locking it. She did not say she was home or announce any form of her presence. She didn't need to. She learned not to, because why would you announce it to someone who wasn't there. Sakura walked into the house and found that once again the food was left under a glass container. Sakura hopped onto the chair to look at what it was. It was chicken and rice today. Sakura nodded to herself. She could warm this up in the pot and mix the sauces together. She never liked the things her parents gave her as food so she mixed it up on her own. Sakura set to work, taking out items to spice up the food and add more flavor. She would wash the dishes later. And later she would read her books and study till it was 11 and then she would go to bed. She would wake up and grab her own breakfast.

She wondered to herself as she started warming up the pot. What did her parents look like now?

Naruto

Naruto was sitting at Ichiruka's ramen studying. He didn't like to read at the house because they would periodically turn of the electricity for some reason. But Naruto didn't care, everyone hated him. Or at least most people.

"naruto-kun studying diligently again?"

Naruto looked up and gave a solid glare. Not that hard as he would give the villagers or other boys but not that welcoming. The person he was glaring at didn't seem to mind as if she was used to it. Naruto relented and nodded. "Yes, I am studying taijutsu techniques, Ayame-san."

There are very few people people he would give honorifics to. Very few people indeed. He only gave it to the people he utterly hated. The people he utterly despised to the core of his being, they were the people he didn't understand. He understood the people who hated him. They hated him for existing. They hated him for being alive. They threw stuff at him, they ruined his stuff. He dealt with it. He understood it.

But he never understood these two people in front of him. They were kind, they were nice. Or did they act it? They talked him nicely, they questioned him on his things and what he studied. He didn't understand it. Why did they act like this? Shouldn't they hate him like everyone else? Shouldn't they kick him out for just being there? He didn't understand them and he hated it it. He despised not understanding. But he always came back here... and he didn't understand that either.

Ayame nodded at him and smiled "Sounds complicated." Naruto's glare faltered as he made his face passive. He didn't understand why he couldn't act angry towards these people.

"It's not complicated" Naruto started. Naruto looked at Ayame's eyes. They were not cold, nor harsh. They held a genuine interest into what he had to say. It was so strange to see those eyes, the ones that didn't shun him. The ones that didn't say he was worthless. Naruto could always tell what people felt about him when he looked at them. The eyes never lied to him. Naruto continued, "The techniques just take practice to memorize with your body. They call it Muscle memory."

Ayame nodded. "So, why are you not practicing."

Naruto scratched his head as he spoke, his stoic face still not removed, "I am studying the proper way to do it so I can use it the way I want to."

Ayame smiled brightly, "I bet not a lot of kids are doing that. You're a little genius huh?"

Naruto looked down to hid his embarrassment. He didn't like feeling like this. Why did these people make him feel like this? Naruto felt his stomach growl and he bent even lower. "I-i will go home to get some food." Naruto said as he started to get up.

"Oh no you don't" Naruto looked up and saw Teuchi look at him with a strange look. It wasn't cold nor harsh, it was just firm and it had something else... something he didn't recognize.

Teuchi reached under and Naruto flinched as teuchi put a bowl in front of him. Naruto looked at the Steaming bowl of Ramen in front of him and felt his mouth water. But Naruto's gut felt enraged.

Naruto looked defiantly at Teuchi, "I-I don't want charity."

Teuchi looked at him with the same stare. "This isn't charity. Now you will eat or you aren't leaving."

Naruto looked down at the bowl and back at Teuchi. He didn't understand these people. Their eyes... were so bright. They looked like stars in the damn forsaken village. Naruto nodded slowly and muttered "Thank you."

Teuchi smiled as he turned to Ayame, "we'll clean up tomorrow."

Naruto finished the bowl and thanked them once again and ran off. Ayame and Teuchi closed the shop but left the mess for tomorrow.

Later that night though...

A shadow moved towards the shop. Looking back and forth making sure no one was there. The shadow smiled as he took out a pin. He moved towards the back lock and started working. It only took a couple seconds when it popped open. He moved the lock away and placed it carefully on the ground. He opened the Door to find that the mess was still not clean. The shadow turned on the light to reveal Naruto. Naruto smiled to himself as he grabbed the nearest bowl and went to the dishwasher.

The next day

Ayame opened the shop and looked inside. She smiled to herself as she saw what usually happened to their shop whenever they gave Naruto a free meal. The kitchen, counter and all was completely wiped down and clean. Bowls stacked neatly to the side and utensils neatly put into their containers. Teuchi walked in behind Ayame and smiled as he looked around. "The brat did it again huh?"

Ayame nodded to herself. "He can't really show his thanks in any other way can he."

Teuchi placed a hand on he shoulder. "But this is enough."

There we go please review. Feed back is great !
