Nothin is mine.
Steel Will
Chapter 2
Shibo Jaku stared at his window in contempt.
No, the windows in his appliance stores are not broken, he could see the fake signs promising discounts on them just fine.
He subconsciously scratched his giant belly as he stared.
Bright blue eyes stared back.
Uzumaki Naruto stared in awe, he couldn't believe it... right there in front of him. At the end of a store he was never allowed to go into was his dream.
A Yukiguni Reizoko(Snow Country Fridge) Model 5000.
He didn't need the ice box. He had enough instant ramen to sustain his 6 year old body. It was something much deeper then just food.
It was a stainless steel fridge.
Some may ask 'whats so special about a steel fridge?'
He would punch anyone who said that
He doesn't know where his love with metal came from. Ever since he could remember he had a strange obsession with it.
Also ramen... Ramen is life.
Naruto shook his head as he walked closer to the store. The fat man behind the counter would never let him in. But he could see just fine from the window.
Metal was so... unique. Shiny, bendy, smooth, and thin along with all different shapes and sizes. But there was something even more important about it.
It was strong, no matter what shape or form it was in, strength was always there.
Naruto thought he was like that.
He always felt a fascination in metal. From when he grabbed kunai from a chuunin (who then proceeded to throw many of them at him). To when he refused to let go of the ANBU who watched him (dog if hes right) because of his metal chest armor. He even found his way into the orphanage kitchen and started playing with the knives in there.
Of course the caretaker kicked him out after that, screaming that some demon would kill her.
The current Hokage (some old fart) ended up gave him his own apartment, much to his own joy. It even had its own kitchen set. When he found that out he soon declared the Hokage the best guy ever much to his confusion.
When he was caught stealing from the ninja academies armory for kunai and shuriken the knives where taken away. Along with being suspended from the academy, making him miss the test and fail the year.
Now he was outside a high end store staring at the new fridge they had.
He ignored the shopkeepers glare at him and waited.
Soon a customer asked for help and the fat man left.
That was his chance! He went into the store and made a beeline for the fridge.
He slowly felt it, a shudder going through him. It was 67% aluminum with the other 33% being carbon. A small frown soon came to his face.
'it's not even steel'. He thought.
Loud footsteps made him turn around.
It was the shopkeeper looking him. Naruto saw his face morph into a deep fury and he stomped toward his counter.
"HELP THIEF!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. Naruto was confused, how can a six year old steal a fridge? Let alone one as big as the one he was touching.
The fat man reached behind the counter and pulled out a wooden stick/club.
He soon ran at Naruto with all the speed he could muster. Like a cheetah.
A legless cheetah with a prosthetic.
Naruto, being a small boy, felt intimidated by the much bigger man in front of him. In a moment of fear his instincts kicked in and he quickly swiped his hand off of the fridge and towards the man.
To both there surprises a beam of metal shot out of the fridge and continued into the fat mans gut.
The man collapsed and Naruto stared at the beam starting from the fridge door and ending halfway across the store.
Naruto glanced at the window and saw the police coming.
He ran out the back door.
Nobody caught him.
