The Diverse One
Get out of here boy you have stayed here long enough you should be able to fend for yourself now." but why" , Naruto said." You are a demon, that s why ", the matron said. But I have not done anything to anyone , he said. The matron refused to listen and threw him out. Naruto ran into the forest for he could sleep the night.
Naruto POV
What am I going to do now I have no food, no money and no shelter? maybe I should go to old man he will know what to do but I to survive this night first. Maybe I should look around here there should be some shelter.
so he looked around and found a tree trunk wide enough to hold his body and protect him from the elements.
The next day,
Naruto woke up with a satisfying yawn and blurry eyes, when he was fully alert, he thought about what happened the day before, he remembered that he was thrown out of the orphanage and that he was going to the old man s office today, so he started his trek towards the hokage tower. As he passed all the buildings he thought why do these people hate me this much, maybe my parents did something to them , as he thought about that, he dismissed the idea and decided that he did not care so he continued walking, as he reached the tower he saw the receptionist who looked at the six year old boy with disdain. Naruto told her that he wanted to see the hokage. The receptionist told him that the hokage was very busy but naruto was not going to be deterred, he pretended like he was going away and as soon as she had her back turned he ran into the office and shouted HOW ARE YOU DOING OLD MAN? The Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, nicknamed the professor during the shinobi wars, simply smiled and was very grateful for a distraction from the menace called paper work. The receptionist rushed into office and was trying to make naruto leave but the Hokage told her that it was okay and that she can leave, after she left the hokage turned back to naruto who was wearing a dirty white shirt and black shorts and asked him why he was there so naruto explained everything that happen the night before and sat down on one of the hokage couches.
Hokage POV I thought that by telling people that their beloved Yondaime sealed the kyuubi in Naruto and that it was safe, it would take away some of their grief and give them closure, but it seems that is not the case. It would be better if I find him his own apartment and give him the monthly orphan stipend.
Naruto began to wonder what was wrong with the old man. He said," Hey old man, why is your face like that and why are you stroking your beard?" . As the hokage realised naruto was still there he said, Yes naruto I will give you an apartment, you are still a little too young to be living on your own, but there is little that can be done about it." Naruto you will receive a monthly stipend until you either become a genin or you become an adult civilian" . Naruto then said, Hey Jiji, "what is a ninja"? and the hokage said," Ninjas are trained fighters, who protect our village from threats and bring in money by performing missions for various people. They are people who protect the village, it s citizens and their comrades no matter the cost" . Naruto then said" hey ji-san can I become a ninja?" , the Hokage told Naruto that if he wants to become a ninja, he would have to go to the Shinobi Academy and graduate. The Hokage then told Naruto that if he wants to go to academy he would help him and after hearing this Naruto immediately answered: Yes!
After all the stress of the day, Naruto decided to go to his new apartment ,the hokage told him that it was at the south part of konoha ,he held his key in his hand and decided to leave but as he was leaving he asked the hokage, Jiji you told me that what makes good ninja is the ability to protect people, but what makes a powerful shinobi? The hokage thought for a while and said *sweat dropping*, Naruto what makes some shinobi more powerful than others is that they are skilled in all of the shinobi disciplines and not just one or two, even if they have unusual habits .
(Somewhere in Ta no Kuni)
A man wearing a horn shaped headband, with the kanji for oil was peeping into the ladies side of the hot springs, he then said , "This is great material for my next book ", but suddenly he sneezed and then he saw that the women inside had seen him, he tried to run but they were already upon him, beating the crap out of him and the only thing he could thinkabout through the pain was thank kami they are not kunoichi. At the hokage tower Naruto told the hokage goodbye and left, when he left the hokage brought his newest edition of icha icha tactics and began to read with gusto while ignoring his ever growing paperwork. Naruto, as he was going to his new apartment was thinking about what the hokage said jiji said that the best shinobi have skills in all the areas of the ninja arts but how do get these skills? And It was like a light bulb was switched on in his head and he said out loud, of course! The library The people at the orphanage had not taught him much but they taught him how to `read; Not write, just read. As Naruto was playing twenty questions in his head and saying the answers out loud, the villagers where whispering to themselves and saying things like "Maybe the demon is mad and has began to talk to himself" or, "Of course, I knew it, the demon couldn t stay in that body for long" . As Naruto was hearing their whispers, he quickly ran to his apartment and closed the door before they decided that they wanted to cleanse him. Naruto opened the closet and saw five pairs of the same attire which consisted of a white shirt, black trousers and a grey hoodie. He also saw two pairs of pajamas. He thought about where these clothes must have come from and reasoned that it must have been the Hokage that bought them for him, though he did wonder how the old man knew his size. After giving up on the matter, he changed into his pajamas and went to bed hoping that tomorrow will be a better day.
Author s note:This chapter was a little short, okay very short and it had no action but it will get longer and have more action as the story progresses. The next chapter will deal with Naruto going to the library and finding something special and then the action begins.
