Tora's P.O.V
Today was the day of the graduation test; half the classes had already gone except me and couple others. Naruto was taking the exam know and I doubt he'll pass and for some strange reason I felt bad for him. Right then he came out looking as sad as ever. He didn't pass. I was called in next and told to the clone jutsu. I did and passed with flying colors. I was handed the headband and tied it around my forehead. After a while everyone had passed, except Naruto that is. He was on the swing under a tree looking miserable. I couldn't take it anymore. I went over to talk to him.
'Why the hell am I doing this any way? It's not like we're friends or anything.' I said to myself as I walked over to where he was.
"Hey, you ok?" I asked not having anything else to say.
"Huh? Why are you here? Came to brag about how you passed and I didn't."
"Naruto you think I'm that cold all I wanted to do was see if you were ok. But whatever seeing as how you're acting mean I'll just leave."
I was about ready to walk away when I heard some women talking and giving Naruto some nasty looks.
"Hey isn't that the kid. He was the only one who failed."
"Serves him right."
"If he becomes a ninja it's only going to cause trouble"
"Because he's really-"
"Hey, it's forbidden to say anything more than that."
By hearing that Naruto looked even sadder.
"Come on Naruto don't look so sad. Maybe you'll have better luck next time." I said but in return all I got was a confused look on his face. And I started to walk away.
"Hey, wait Tora! Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden? I thought you didn't like me?"
His question caught me off guard to tell you the truth I didn't know why myself. But me feeling concerned or helpful was really a cause for worry. It wasn't something normal for me and if made a lot of room for questions.
"Don't get me wrong Naruto I don't like anyone. And as to why I'm being nice? I do not know." I said and continued walking away back to home.
Next Day:
It was late in the afternoon and I was walking into the academy going to see the Hokage about my picture for the ninja registration form seeing as how I did not feel like taking it. Getting close to the room where he was in I started to hear arguing.
"You tripped on your own feet dork"
"Hey you! Take your hands off of him right now! He's the honorable grandson, of the honorable 3rd Hokage!"
I walked into the room without even thinking. And I saw Naruto holding up Konohamaru ready to punch him.
"Naruto what are you doing?" I said and everyone looked over to me.
"Ahh. Tora what took you so long you were supposed to be here an hour ago." the Hokage said.
"What's the matter? I thought you were going to hit me tough guy! Afraid because the 3rd Hokage is my grandfather!" yelled Konohamaru.
"Moron, now you're going to get it." I said looking the other way.
"I don't care if he's your grandmother!" yelled Naruto punching him in the head.
Naruto left after that and Ebisu started to give Konohamaru a lecture about staying away from Naruto. While I got a lecture on how I needed to get my picture taken. In the mettle of it Ebisu started to panic.
"Where did he go!" he yelled looking all around like a crazy person.
"I think he followed Naruto, but I have no idea where they're going." Said the Hokage.
Right then he stormed out of the room yelling 'Honorable Grandson!' which strangely caused me to laugh a little. Which caused the Hokage to look at me surprised, because fact being I hardly ever did.
"You're laughing…?"
"No. I'm not."
"Anyway, you need to get your picture taken."
"Fine." I gave in. I wasn't in the mood to be arguing. I walked out of the room and went and got my picture taken.
