The House That the Coward Built
Summary:One by one he picked up the small pieces that was blown away by the strong winds. He will be ready sooner or later when it strikes again. It would be stronger than the three little pig's houses that they built to shelter themselves from all the problems. Again, he would be ready when it strikes in front of him.
Chapter 0: He's lucky and confused
Edited by: Little Blue Blossom
"Give it back you shitty brat! How many times do you have to steal from my store!?" The man in his 50's yells at the kid who was about to steal ten apples.
The (poor) kid widens his eyes in surprise. He was caught red-handed and acts like he committed a murder and was waiting for the police to arrest him.
'Damn' he thinks. 'I didn't look that suspicious.' He is sweating bullets.
"I-I didn't steal anything... I was trying to pay after getting these apples." He tries to cover up his mistake but the store owner knows the truth.
"Yeah, right," the owner responds with sarcasm. "Like you didn't steal twenty oranges, five watermelons, and ten peaches last week."
"But I didn't!" The kid exclaims. "I was going to pay you… Give me a minutes to find my money." The kid rummages his pockets.
The store owner feels relief and thinks, 'Thank God, he's gonna pay! Maybe I can trick this stupid kid into to paying me more!' The store owner smirks. "Kid. You gotta pay for that fruit you stole last week too, and that will cost over 5000 ryo," he says.
The boy immediately stops searching. "Five thousand ryo? More like five hundred!" He exclaims, knowing that what the owner said was a lie. "Anyways, here is the payment." The boy slowly pulls his hand out of his pocket.
The store owner slowly begins to show a face of triumph, but that look suddenly morphs into anger and disgust when the kid shows his middle finger instead of money.
"Yeah right, like I'll pay for the fruit!" The boy says as he starts running to his hide-out.
"Come back here you brat!" The store owner is now fuming in anger. He tries to run, but he's too old for that ans stops before he could get very far.
Hotaka is the boy's name.
He remembers all the things that happened before.
He saw and remembered fuzzy and blurry memories, but they don't match the scenery here in this place called Konohagakure, or in short Konoha.
Hotaka thinks that whoever named this village lacks a sense of creativity and maturity. Who would fucking call their town 'The Village Hidden in the Leaves'?
If he had his own town or village he would call it: Gerudo Fortress, Helgen, Goron City, or Dragon Bridge. Those names were not original, but hey... Those names sound cooler!
Hotaka isn't a lucky person when it comes to life.
He doesn't even know his last name. He's an orphan.
He sometimes thinks his mother is a prostitute. Sometimes. Maybe he could just ask his mother like, "Hey Mom! Are you a prostitute or a stripper?" He can't do that though because he doesn't have a mom. She's dead and so is his his father.
Unlucky right?
To come to this conclusion is hard, but a kid with such high intelligence knows that red light district is full of bars and services that people come to to have a one night stand with people who have given up on romance.
Hotaka has his lucky days, even though most of them suck…
He found shelter in the red light district and the Godsend of a caretaker, Hanako Yui, takes care of him.
He found friends in this districts who were orphans just like him.
He is gifted with intelligence.
The luckiest thing to happen to him is realizing a lot of things are not yet invented in this place. If he could make a business out of it, he could be richer than the Lords themselves.
Hotaka is smart he, but he is also confused.
He found himself in this familiar village, the one he insulted the name and founder of earlier..
He lives in the coolest and scariest anime that he fanboyed when he was a kid (God! He was such a dweeb back then).
It was a place where children spat out fireballs and water out of nowhere. People had creepy eyes and were always trying to remove those of other people. Finally, when outside of Konoha, murder and stealing is not abnormal.
He finds himself in this fictional world called Naruto.
If Hotaka can meet the Gods, or some magical being involved with this, he would be troubled whether to say 'Fuck You' or 'Thank You'.
But Hotaka can think about the response later! Right now he is more confused about whether or not he was going to have a second chance at being lucky.
He was mind fucked.
A/N: Hey a story that suddenly appeared in my mind and I decided to write it and give it a try. I'm bad at grammar, so please understand.
