So hi, and yeah... It's very awful of me to write a new strory when I haven't updated my other story, but this idea crossed me when I watched Naruto so here it is a new fic. Bear in mind that this is my first Naruto story and also Menma and Naruto centric and things might get darker as the story moves, so watch out for those who dislike it.

Disclaimers: Naruto/Shippuden/Gaiden and any other that are associated with it belongs to Masashi Kishimoto, Shonen Jump, and any other that had a hand in the making. I only own this story, ideas, some OC and my device.

Chapter I: Menma and Naruto

There is two kinds of person. Good Person and Bad Person.

There is two person here. Menma and Naruto Uzumaki. They are twins. Menma is the older one, Naruto is the younger one. Both of them have blond hair. Menma had the longer hair and he is taller too.

To further differentiate themselves, they wore different clothing. Naruto likes orange and blue, Menma likes red and black. Both of them are similar yet, different.

Like usual, sinister eyes are locked on them. And both of them hated it. They hated it, since they never did anything wrong. Why would anyone treats them badly? They had thought about that. They promised to be by each other side, they promised to never let each other go away before it's time.

It just so happened, that... This story took place in their chilhood.

"You want Cup Ramen again Naruto?" A high-pitched voice, particularly a boy's asked to the other boy with him.

"Un, It's easy and delicious!" The other boy replied, a smile shown on his face.

It was time for dinner actually, the Uzumaki brothers usually decided for ramen. Cup Ramen. It wasn't the best food in the world, and there's no guarantee that it's healthy for them. But the young twins liked it. At least, with the money they had, they could afford something.

"Here you go!" The older half handed the steaming cup of ramen to the younger. And with a satisfied and cheerful smile, the younger one accepted and worded a thanks to his brother.

This is a daily basis of the Uzumaki brothers. Enjoying a ramen of two was not a stranger to them. Both liked it in fact.

"Naruto, if the world doesn't like you... Do you still want it as it be?" Menma asked, a serious expression drawn on his face. It was actually strange for him to ask. This was the first time Menma had brought up the topic.

"I want it to change!" Thought it sounded like a cry, it was more of a shout filled with fury. "But..." A frown made it's way to the boy with whiskers, as he played with the edge of his shirt. "I met someone today!" Then the frown turned into a joyful laughter, his eyes brimming with passions as he started to open his mouth.

"Who is it?" Interested in the sudden change of his brother, Menma asked.

"I don't know! But, it was a boy for sure!" While also slurping the ramen, Naruto explained about the person he met. "He was pretty nice to me! And I think we can get along well!" A wide grin showed on his face as he continued to tell the tale of the boy. All Menma could do was laugh.

"Is he good?" Naruto nodded at his question. "Do you like him?" Again, Naruto nodded. "Then, I won't change the world right now." A soft smile crept to the older face as he voiced that.

The twins then enjoyed their ramen of two. It was a calm and soothing sight to behold. Then, the story advances again, quite some time after, years it could be.

"Stop there you rascal!"

"Catch me if you can dattebayo!" Laughter and cheers filled the streets, as a boy with blond short and spiky hair ran from a mass of crowd cashing after him for all the paints he spread across. "Ahahahaha!" His laughters grew louder as he sped his way across Konohagakure until-

Bump!

"Watch where you're going to, idiot." He bumped against a boy with striking black hair, and eyes so sinister it made Naruto pause. He watched as the boy passed by him, his hands in his pockets, not caring a fiber of Naruto's presence.

'Wh-What's with that?' He thought, a hand to his chest, his eyes focused on the trail of the earlier boy. 'He's just like those people... But cockier!'

"Naruto? What are you doing here?" Then, from behind him, someone who was close to him called, a tone of worry evident in his voice. "I thought we're going to eat ramen today, it's a good day for you isn't it?"

"Hmm... Ah! I forgot!" A grin then went to his face, as Naruto fixed his green googles. "It's Ichiraku right?" He said, stars in his eyes, just from the image of Ichiraku's Ramen.

"Of course!" The older boy replied. "The Third Hokage actually gave me more money than usual! I'm pretty sure it's enough for us!" Joy filled his voice, thought it felt as if he was hiding something, Naruto didn't bother to ask, instead, he just nodded and reached for his brother.

"Let's go-ttebayo!" He cheered, even thought he forgot one thing-

"Where's that rascal!? I swear he went this way!"

'Okay, that's one.' The younger boy thought. "Nii-chan, can we go faster?" He asked, a playful grin spreading across his face, his eyes closed, in a gesture of awkwardness.

"Hmm...? You did it again didn't you?" A smirk made it's way to Menma's lips as both of them actually started to walk.

"Not really, I just thought it needed more decorations." Naruto said, he rubbed the back of his head with a smile.

"Don't bother them, we can do lots of things and I don't think painting their walls is deserving enough for them." Menma said, then, he balled his right hand, as he stared at it. "If we just train enough, I'm sure, in no time, we can crush them easily." He paused, then, a cheerful aura started to surround him, as if washing away the gloomy aura earlier. "But, I think, we can left out the people that's been nice to us, like The Third Hokage, or the uncle's family at Ichiraku."

Seeing that, Naruto smiled, and nodded vigorously. "Un!" Then, he balled his hands, a fire visible in his eyes, he reached out to his twin's left hand, and dragged him alongside him, as they ran past the crowds that filled the streets of Konohagakure. "I can't wait Nii-chan! We need to hurry, Dattebayo!" Again, laughter was heard from him.

"Okay-okay! You do know running's no good right? Run faster!"

"Wakattebayo!"

It was a blissful sight, they ran so fast that it seems like their lives depended on it, yet, it's not like that in a sense. They just loved Ichiraku's Ramen that they wanted to ran faster so they could get a seat or two, besides, those bad peoples are really common to them, not rare if they met one in Ichiraku.

-JBV-

"Uncle, two miso ramen please!"

"Coming!"

Two boys sat on the restaurant's high-stool as they waited patiently for their meals, two miso ramen, a favorite of Naruto.

"Naruto, congrats on entering the academy!" Menma said, a smile on his face, and his right arm slung to Naruto's back, almost dragging him to a hug.

"Ehehe, it wasn't much!" As those words escaped his mouth, both laughed out loud with a huge grin and a joyful face to boot.

Though, two others customers of Ramen Ichiraku, a mother and her son, who just arrived, after they saw the twins face, they immediately left, with one thing in mind.

The Fox Demon.

"Here, sorry for waiting!" The owner, Teuchi, said, placing two steaming bowls of miso ramen in front of the twins, one had the usual toppings with extra menma and extra tamago, one had extra chasu, extra nori and extra naruto.

"U-uncle... Is it okay if we ate this?" Menma asked, unsure of it, since adding toppings more than what was found in the ramen would add extra price. Menma isn't sure if the money he had earlier was enough, sure... Adding another tamago and norimaki is still good, but, adding chasu and naruto usually is a bit pricey, given that they were both pork and fish respectively.

"It's okay! It's my treat, you two won't grow if you don't eat more!" Teuchi laughed, a prideful smile shown on his face.

"Then..." Both of the twins trailed off, and clasped their hands.

"Itadakimasu!" Both reached for their chopsticks, and started to eat.

Firstly, they slurped the noodle off, with the soup dripped bits by bits, and with a satisfied look, and closed eyes, they sighed a blissful sigh.

"Ichiraku's Ramen is the best!" Naruto shouted, while still eating and slurping the miso ramen.

"It really is!" Menma shouted all while he nodded, and he also enjoyed the bowl of ramen.

"Well, glad to hear that!" Teuchi commented, while he cooked the noodles for his ramen and also boiled the brothel for the soups.

"Hey, Naruto..." Menma trailed off, a chasu pork held by his chopsticks.

"What is it, Nii-chan?" Naruto asked, already half-bowl ahead of his twin brother.

"Where is your scarf? This morning you still wore it, right?" Then, Menma just had followed Naruto by lots of menma.

"Umm... Well, I lost it somehow!" Even thought Naruto's tone was cheery, he was having beads of sweats trickling from his skin.

"Hmm...? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure! It's not like I met some bad people and a good person..."

At that, Menma raised an eyebrow, it's unusual for his brother; twin brother; to half-hide let alone hide something from him. "Is it... Another of those people?" Then, just from the words spoken, Naruto knew it was so sinister, so filled with rage, and hatred.

"Not really... They only beat me up good! That must be because I can't use Bunshin no Jitsu!" A laughter escaped Naruto's lips, then he continued to slurp the ramen's leftovers leaving the bowl empty.

"Is that... So...?" The older asked, and Naruto just nodded. "I'll repay them later." A sigh escaped his mouth, he just played with his ramen and chopsticks, leaving a few noodles and bamboo shoots uneaten, along with the miso soup.

"I think you shouldn't, Nii-chan." The googles-wearing boy said. "I wanted to be the Hokage some day!" He exclaimed, a finger pointed at himself, then he pointed upwards. "But I can't do it without you Nii-chan!" He then pointed at Menma. "And I want the whole village, no, the whole world recognize us!"

"Okay then, I'll help you... I'll help you in this quest." Menma said, finally, he began to continue eating the cold ramen again. "But... I'm not going to let you become a Hokage like this. You have to be a good ninja, and maybe... We'll try to attract their attention... Maybe we'll try something new." He explained, then ruffled the shorter's hair. "After all, you're my otouto!"

"Un! I'll work hard!"

They continued their small chats, after paying their share of money they continued to walk, just straight to the Uzumaki Residence.

"Tell me about this good person." Menma said, kicking a rubble along the way.

"She's weird, and she was also the one who was bullied by those bad peoples." Naruto said, resting his head to his hands. "I don't think I hate her, I think she is the same like us, those bad people said something about her eyes, so I just helped her." A grin made it's way to his serious face. "I'm good, right Nii-chan?"

A small chuckle went out of Menma's mouth, then, he gave a thumbs up to his twin brother, a smile on his face. "No, you're great! As expected of my brother!" Menma said, joyfully, unlike how he is just moments ago.

Laughter filled the air as the Uzumaki brothers continued their walk, thought, two bystanders stared at them, one of them had a rock ready to be thrown, a normal sized one. He threw it at them, thought the twins left at the right time, so, the rock missed.

"Missed." The other one, a long-haired boy, said. "You suck, Masa." He punched the short-haired boy on the shoulder. "It's this close." He added, then, another punch to the shoulder.

"Shut up." The short-haired one said, picking strands of his hair. "Like you're one to talk Mune." He kicked a rubble while rubbing the strands of hair. "I know you suck too."

"Shut up."

Then both of them was having a fight of insults, Masa and Mune, both was staring at where the Uzumaki brothers had left, a boiling feeling in their gut, they clenched their fist in what looked like a way of holding back.

For now, they only left the place, kicking dust at their spot, and leaving the twins they so hated for now.

To Be Continued...

Hello, and welcome to my first story in the fandom, I don't know if this story I just made was good enough, I've been trying to write my other story but, I have no motivation for now because of no reviews and some personal issues, now this story just popped in my head, and I've been doing a bit research on Naruto so I think I'm ready to write a story. For pairings, I don't know, but, I might lean on NaruHina, ShikaTema, and SasuSaku(especially this one because my dear friend actually pestered me to write a SasuSaku story). I just wanted to ask if I should take this down, but, judging from my mind I might have a lot to write, I actually have an idea here. Well, that's all, and I might translate this to my native language since my friend reads better that way, even thought I had an easier time writing in English. That's really all, and I hope you drop your review after reading, since I don't know about what should I do with this story.
