I don't own Naruto
It was a nice sunny peaceful day in the village hidden in the leaves. It was a typical day for the village. So of course a certain spiky blonde haired, orange jumpsuit wearing eight year old named Naruto Uzumaki was getting ready to pull a prank.
"I wonder who I should prank today?" He thought aloud as he wandered through town, stroking the whisker marks on his face, blue eyes sparkling, and ignoring the glares of the other villagers. He had never found out why they hated him, so he just ignored it, he was used to it by now anyway.
He couldn't come up with a good person to prank, so he gave up and started thinking of starting at the academy tomorrow. It was going to be the turning point in his life, the time when everyone started respecting him. When he fulfilled his dream of becoming Hokage everyone would have to respect him.
Finding nothing better to do, he decided to get some ramen from his favorite place, Ichiraku's. His mouth watered as he just thought of the amazing ramen they served.
As he walked in he called out to the man at the counter.
"Hey Teuchi, how's it going?"
"Oh hey Naruto, I'm great thanks, the usual i presume?" He says and then asks.
"You know it, I've gotta keep up my strength for the academy tomorrow." Naruto says
"I know, you've only said it about a thousand times, each time you come here." Teuchi replies.
A few minutes later, he's scarfing down a bowl of the greatest ramen ever. He could even afford to eat here regularly, and eat more than one bowl.
"I take it you're going to want another Naruto?" Teuchi asks
"Another two today, need to be strong to get some training in later." He replies.
"You think with all this training you'd be bigger by now." Teuchi says offhandedly.
Naruto felt his anger spike, "I get it I'm small!" He growls, and Teuchi looks confused, and then realizes what happened.
"I meant bulkier, you know, more muscular." He says correcting his mistake.
"Oh" He says as he passes him another bowl of miso pork ramen, which disappears in record time, but not before Teuchi is done making the third bowl of ramen, which he finishes even faster than the other two.
He pays for his three bowls and then runs off towards his private training ground. It's not really his or private, but he's the only one that uses it since it's so close to a real training field, but academy level and below shinobi can't use the real training grounds until they become genin, which happens when you graduate from the academy. On the upside it has punching and kicking posts and is just big enough to run some semi decent laps.
When he gets there he settles in for a long afternoon workout. For the first half hour he practices the few katas that he knows for both offense and defense, against the post. Then he gets a crazy idea in my head, one that could be disastrous, or amazing. He gets ready to do a kick at the top of a post and before he starts the kick try to funnel some chakra into the leg.
He jumps and kicks at the top of the post...
And it splinters away.
"Woo-hoo! I did it, I used chakra!" He exclaims before promptly passing out from mild chakra exhaustion. Before he goes out completely He hears someone call his name worriedly.
