Second chapter of Be My Hokage here! Hope you enjoy the chapter!
Although the twelve year old loved ramen, he found himself quite unattached to the delicious food that was usually served free for him. Deep down, he knew the shopkeeper and his daughter were taking pity on him and he did not like it one bit. He used this day off to spend the time walking around the village and the small training grounds that laid in certain areas. While walking toward one of the training grounds, he spotted someone. Someone he knew quite well and had graduated along with him. Kiba Inuzuka, a boy who was also the same age but was also alone like Naruto.
Naruto knew all too well what had happened to his family and had been regretting it ever since...
Flashback~
"K-Kiba, stay back!" Kiba, the short, brown haired boy who was scared to death at what was taking place in his own home.
It had been seven years since the great Kyuubi attacked the village and here he was now. The very demon carrier was in his home, terrorizing his family. How was a complete mystery. He gulped as his older sister stood in front of her younger brother, taking a kunai knife to the back. It pierced her spinal cord, it seemed as though the great demon was not just made of power but smarts as well. Naruto's eyed had turned red and were like a demon's.
"N-no...NO!" Kiba watched as his older sister, the one he always joked around with and received the most orders from had just been tossed aside to the other side of the room like a piece of trash.
"Another one bites the dust...heh" Naruto's shirt was stained with blood and his cheeks that had three whisker-like marks on the side of them now had blood splatters.
Naruto's fingers were stained with the blood of Kiba's family and he held up his hand and licked the tip of his fingers slowly, trying to frighten the boy his age even more than he already was. Kiba could only sit there and watch as the other boy grabbed a small puppy by the neck and began to choke it, squeezing the life out of it.
"Stop...stop it...STOP IT!" Without thinking, Kiba rushed up toward the other boy and shoved him to the floor, causing Naruto to let go of the small dog that now began to pant again.
"Go ahead, kill me...I won't stop you" The demonic voice ringed in Kiba's ears as if listening to a dog whistle.
"You...killed my mother...and my sister...I want to kill you!" Naruto stood up as the boy covered his ears with both hands and backed away a bit.
"Because you're cute, I'll let you go. On one condition...you will make sure you will stick by Naruto's side for the rest of your pathetic life, got it?" The boy nodded as the little dog jumped into Kiba's arms, safe and sound.
"Naruto...are you going to leave me here?!" Kiba asked frantically and stood up on both feet.
"Naruto's place isn't exactly what you would call 'expensive' but if you want to follow, then I won't stop you" The demonic boy walked out of the empty house and out into the fresh, night air.
Kiba slowly walked out of the house and stood behind the other boy, ready to follow. The wind blew through the trees as both the boys walked back to the run down apartment building. This was a night that Kiba would ever forget. When your pack is gone, the only thing left to do is to follow a new leader right?
End flash back~
"N-Naruto, hey" Naruto was about to just walk past him without saying anything.
"Hey...are you hungry?" Kiba shook his head but his stomach and his small dog that laid on top of his head said otherwise.
"Come on, I'll try to get you a free meal"
They both walked toward the ramen stall that allowed free tries and free food most of the time. Kiba sat down on one of the seats cautiously while Naruto sat next to him, resting both arms on the counter.
"Hey Naruto, I see you brought someone here other than Iruka huh?"
"Yeah...actually, can you let him have a bowl of ramen, if he can't have it for free then I'll give ya this ticket" Naruto pulled out a small but crumpled up paper that was in his pocket and gave it to the man behind the counter.
"Ah, this ticket will give you a month's supply, you should be lucky otherwise, I would have gone to get Iruka. Two chicken flavoured, bowls of ramen, coming right up!" The man disappeared into the next room.
"Naruto...you didn't have to-"
"Yes I did. I'll always will too since Kyuubi announced me as a pack leader. Besides, even if you had that weird nose of yours, it would never find the right food"
"What's that supposed to mean, are you saying my nose can only pick up trash scents and stuff?"
"Well considering the fact that you're a dog and have dog-like senses...you might go chasing after a boar if I wasn't around"
"Stupid fox, you don't know anything about hunting for food, you rely on good old ramen. Well news flash for you, I can survive just fine...it's just that stupid demon inside of you thinks I'm hot so I'm around to chill him out, get, got it, good. Now let's eat, I'm starving"
'Unbelievable...he beat me at my own game...' Naruto thought to himself as he lightened up a bit as the two bowls of fresh ramen finally got served.
"One question...since I don't have a demon inside of me, will I get fat?"
"What kind of a dumb question is that, are you or are you not a ninja, you can just work it off with training"
Naruto was about to chow down but felt someone else enter the small stall.
"Oh, honorable grandson Konohamaru, well aren't I lucky, so my boy, what can I do for you?"
"Is there a kid here with the name of Naruto Uzu...Uzumaki?"
"What was with the short pause with my last name there kid?"
"It's a weird name, I never heard before. Also, you're being called for, don't know what for but my grandfather said it's urgent so..."
"Weird name...I'll show ya a weird name with my fist you little brat! And what the hell did I do to get called?"
"Heck if I know, grandfather's orders nyaa~" The small boy stuck his tongue out at him and ran off before Naruto could do anything.
"Kiba, you have the spare key right?"
"Yeah yeah, no need to ask me twice" Kiba waved him off and ate in peace.
"Naruto, please follow those two men to the rooftop and pose so that you can have your very own profile"
"Say what?"
"What I mean is...since you have graduated from the academy, it is only natural that you get a profile with your picture done before you are placed in a group"
"After I'm done...I've got business to talk to you about on the group thing..."
"Alright, but after" The old hokage shooed Naruto out the door.
Naruto sighed and followed the two men up the stairs and on to the roof, letting the men set up their camera. While they were still preparing, Naruto decided to take this chance and messed up his hair a little, making sure it covered his left eye. As soon as the men were ready, they signaled for Naruto to say cheese, but he didn't listen to them and instead made a 'victory' sign with his fingers while looking as though he were ready to kill someone.
"Ah...that was nice, you're free to go now"
Naruto put both his hands in his pockets and returned to the hokage's office. He stood at the front and waited for the hokage to be finished with whatever it was he was doing.
"So...what is it you needed to talk to me about?"
"The groups...is it...possible for Kiba to join my group?"
"You know I can't do that. Besides, you'll have to ask Iruka about it, he's the one in charge of the groups"
"Oh fine...jeez" Naruto sighed and left the office and down the stairs.
