Chapter one: The Ultimate prank goes up in flames.
5 years later October 10 in the Konoha Orphanage a small boy with blonde hair with spikes that defied gravity itself with amazing cerulean eyes that could match the fourths with six birth marks that look like fox whiskers three on each cheek. The boy's name was Naruto Uzumaki.
Like all orphans at the orphanage Naruto did his best to get adopted. But failed time and time again. Each time was like the last each family or person who came wouldn't even look at him and even if they did they would just glare coldly at him. It got progressively worse as he got older. Other times people who came to adopt would see him and they would come up to him and say "DIE DEMON DIE", and start to beat him into unconsciousness then leave.
Hours later he would then awake and the orphanage caretaker would take his anger out on him for scaring off the family. The caretaker would beat him and then make him clean the entire orphanage before he was allowed to sleep and if he fell asleep while working he would lock him in a tiny darkroom with no food for a week.
But this particular day was when Naruto was most scared this was the day when the villagers would come to the orphanage every year to beat him up until the Hokage and Anbu come. But today was a special day for Naruto for he plans to get rid of the caretaker once and for all.(okay this just a summary of what his life has been like since the Third put him here)
Konoha orphanage
"Ok brats listen up today is the Konohagakure Featival for when the Fourth defeated the Kyuubi no Kitsune and as such we are going to all go to the festival" said the caretaker everybody cheered "except" the caretaker suddenly said and had an evil smile and crazy look in his eyes "Naruto".
The kids got silent they all feared for Naruto they knew he was always mistreated. They all heard Naruto gulp his eyes wide with fear. The caretaker said "Naruto you are to clean the entire orphanage making it look like the first day I got it. Also if anything is out of place or it's not clean enough to my satisfaction." He smirked evilly "I'll lock you in the darkroom for a month with no food." thhen cackled evilly.
As quickly as cackle came it left and cleared his throat and looked at the children who gave him strange looks. The caretaker yelled " What are you lookin at brats" the children looked away whistling like they knew nothing but what their thoughts were ' man the caretaker has gone crazy I hope Naruto still plans to do that prank so we can get a new one'
Naruto wore a orange with black outlining the top of the shirt (shirt looks likes Sasuke's in the beginning) with the Uzumaki clan emblem on the back and had black ninja shorts with black ninja sandals.(also the Third still buys clothes for him)
Naruto the King of pranks was the source of entertainment for the orphans always making them laugh while he got beatings and put in the darkroom without food. Though no one knew it was just a cover to make sure they didn't worry about him. So he would do whatever it took to make the orphan at the orphanage smile to forget about him being pain.
All though it wasn't hard for him to prank he was a genius a master of the art of pranking. He always thought 10 steps ahead making his pranks hard not to laugh at them. Most of the time his pranks cause the caretaker more stress and harm and the caretaker had a hard time not killing him. Instead he did the next best thing beat the living shit out of him and stab him with knifes then threw him in to the darkroom.
After the week Naruto came out with no trace of the beating that happens early that week. Naruto never could explain it because after his beating he was always unconscious and he healed while he was asleep.
Naruto now thinking up his master plan which involved the caretaker being unable to take care of the orphans for good , but the plan had one drawback if it failed he was as good as dead.
While thinking about his master plan one of his close friends he considered a sister Tenten put a hand on his shoulder and smiled towards him he smiled lightly back. Ever since Naruto has arrived at the orphanage Tenten has always looked out for him like a big sister. He remebers the day he first met her.(Tenten is a year older than Naruto in this story in case you're wondering)
Flashback 2 years ago
The Third held Naruto's hand as he helped him walked down the street. Naruto wore a yellow yukata with the Uzumaki clan emblem on the back and had orange ninja pants with black ninja sandals (also while living with Sarutobi he dressed nicer but at the orphanage he doesn't care really what he wears) while the Third had Hokage clothes on.
To say Naruto was excited would be and understatement. He was thrilled jumping up and down his body pumped with adrenaline. When Third told him that he was going to the Orphanage to make friends and have the chance to have a family to adopt him.
Naruto had always had thoughts about having a family because when the third had his son Asuma escort him to the park he tried to play with the other kids but before they could start anything the parents would come grab their children and before they left they glared at him. After awhile Naruto sat down and watched the families laughing and smiling at each he felt his a sharp pain in his heart. Naruto always tried asking his surrogate grandfather about his parents but he just said "Its just to complicated Naruto I'll tell you when your older." and then smiled and changed the subject ,but Naruto wasn't dumb in fact he happen to learn and retain all knowledge of kanji and knew Japanese from the tutor in the Sarutobi household. So he knew Sarutobi oji-san was hiding something.
Naruto also felt like a burden in the Sarutobi household he always helped whenever he could whether it be cleaning with the maids or doing odd jobs. Sarutobi always sighed and told him he wasn't a burden ,but he never listened to him.
Anyway as they neared the orphanage a middle aged man came out and greeted the The Third nodded his head in acknowledgment and the caretaker lead them into the orphanage the hokage told Naruto to play with the children while he filled out the paper work.
The hokage and the caretaker then walked into the office and closed the door. As soon as the door closed. A boy a couple of years older came over to him and pushed him to the ground and said "Well we gotta newbie ay well we got give ya an" but before he could continue he got hit in the face with the back of a broom and flew to the wall with an "OOF" Naruto looked around and saw a little girl with two buns in her hair with rosy baby fat cheeks. (if you go to Narutopedia on Tenten's page there's is a background information part with a picture of her as a little girl if you can't imagine her as I depict).
She the walked over to him and stuck her hand out and said " Hi my name is Tenten. What's yours?" Naruto grabbed her hand and shook it and said "Naruto Uzumaki nice to meet you Tenten." Naruto thoughts were 'My first friend Yay' he smiled brightly at her and she returned it
End of Flashback: resume Tenten just put her hand on Naruto's shoulder.
Naruto the stood up and looked at Tenten. He then went close to her ear and asked her "Do you have them?" Tenten replied by handed him the scroll that had the kanji for kunai on it. Also a scroll with the kanji for D rank genjutsu. Plus some wire and marbles. He silently thanked her and watched all the children leave and the caretaker gave him one nasty sneer before leaving.
Naruto sighed in relieve then got down to business. He went out to the backyard grabbed three heavy long thin log he pulled out a saw that he had used from previous pranks and began to cut the logs to point then summoned a kunai from the scroll to make it a fine point on each.
Then took some Wire and tied the three together then went into his room and on the inside of the room he attached it above the door frame and left some wire hanging down. Next he place the marbles all over under the door of the caretakers room.
To finalize his he went and picked up the genjutsu scroll Tenten gave him it was minor hiding genjutsu for small items. He quickly learn the seal and practiced it on the kunai and saw. After finally getting he quickly went to the caretakers room and cast a genjutsu over the marbles and the logs and wire.
The ultimate prank ( well more like cruel punishment for beating him) was simple the caretaker was to walk in the room and him being the senile fool he was wouldn't notice the genjutsu place over the marbles he would slip and would try to look for a way to save himself by grabbing the wire he left hanging down thinking that he was able to save himself but continued to fall to the ground allowing the wire to pull the logs free from above the door and have the logs impale his crotch and legs to the floor making unable to be the orphanage caretaker.
Naruto thought it was brilliant then tired from all his work with one last thought 'That senile old man thinks I'm gonna clean his house he's crazy' and after that he fell asleep.
Caretaker right after he left
As the caretaker closed the door he let the children run free in the village and told them to be back by nightfall then proceed to bar the door shut and keep it from moving he then proceed to do the same thing to the backdoor but saw Naruto and quickly backed up around the corner ( also just in case you're wondering the building is a square layout 3 stories high the material to make it was of wood with mud holding the 4 corners of the house. and has a slanted tile roof the backyard is fenced in area like a square with a logs as the fence and it has a wood pile for keeping warm on those chillier days also where Naruto got those logs. Also I didn't really plan on telling you what the house looked like because it seemed really insignificant. And you'll see why in just a minute.).
caretaker had one thought 'That little shit is planning a prank well what ever I won't be around to enjoy it but he'll be around to enjoy mine' he smiled evilly while he waited. Then A few minutes later He heard the door close and quickly proceeds to bar it like the front door. Then he quickly ran to the front where a squad of Ninja and about a hundred villagers stood the villagers holding stacks of wood.
The jonin then conjured up shadow clones to block the windows for any chance to escape the men then stacked the wood next to the house making a huge pile. The ninja squad then started making hand signs that ended in a tiger and each released a giant fireball each ball combine with the other fireballs until the wood pile and the Orphanage was on fire the house blazed with from different colors of orange, yellow, and blue.
The end of chapter one
Well how was this chapter also I would like to thank College6Jazz for the highly useful information even though I didn't describe the world very much the Orphanage was just to help build the story it has no other significance than that. I plan to do more describing in the next chapter. Also I plan to have a update every day.
