(Ruby's Point Of View)

From what I could tell, I have been dead for seven years, and how I know that is I have been watching over my families life as they lived on. I hear them say a prayer every night and they always ask for me to watch over them. Too bad they don't know that I am already doing that.

It was now night time in the ninja world so I decided to leave them to their peace and go talk to some people. Turns out when you are dead, you don't need to sleep, eat, or drink anything to stay together through we could eat if we wanted to. It makes me kind of upset because it reminds me that I could never taste Kushina-nee's food ever again.

I walked over to the room where most of my friends and family were hanging out. I saw Rin sitting at a table, drinking some tea, so I decided to go talk to her. "Hey Rin!" She took another sip of her tea then also said hi to me. "So...how Obito..."

She looked down in shame and sighed. "He's become part of an organization called the Akatsuki, and they are starting to collect members...I'm afraid that they are going to be doing something bad in the future..." I looked down and sighed as well as I started to think of our old teammate.

"Why do you think that he is doing this...the Obito I know would never do this..." A tear escapes from Rin's left eye and she starts to sob. "He said...He said its because Kakashi killed me!" I looked up in shock and I mentally slapped my forehead.

How could I have been so stupid...of course he would do this...he loved Rin. I saw Rin start to cry so I did what a good friend would do and I hug her tightly and let her cry on my shoulder. About five minutes later she stopped crying and took her head off her shoulder.

"I'm sorry...I got your shirt all wet..." I shook my head and told her that it was alright. She asked me how Kakashi and the family are doing and I tell her all that has been going on between the family. We talked for a few more minutes until she went back to watching Obito to make sure that he is okay.

The rest of the five came up to me and asked if we could do a song before I went back to watching over my family. I said that, that would be fine. We got ready to sing "Somebody that we used to know" by Pentatonix then I took a breath in then started to sing.

(Yemon)

"Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm

(Yemon & Akio)

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm

(Yemon, Akio & Ruby)

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm

(Hama)

La da La Da Da Da Da Da Da

La Da Da Da Da Da

(Akio)

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

(Hama)

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing
I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
Guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

(Ruby)

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believin' it was always something that I'd done

(Hama, Akio & Ruby)

But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on

(Ruby)

somebody that you used to know

(Hama, Akio & Ruby)

But you didn't have cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing
I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
and that feels so rough

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect you records
And then change your number
Guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody that I used to know
Somebody that I used to know
Somebody that I used to know
Somebody that I used to know"

The song ended and people around clapped so I shyly bowed to show my respect. I gave everyone from the five a huge give then walked over to the room where I watch over my family.

Going in, I see it's morning and Kushina-nee is making breakfast as Minato-nii Congress in looking really tired and yawns once he gets into the dining room. "Good morning...". He said quietly as my sister in law also says good morning to him. "You stayed out late last night with Lord Third... How did it go?". She asked as Minato went over and grabbed the morning newspaper.

"Ah, it went fine, though it took awhile to get everything situated. Where's Naruto?". Kushina-nee put on a thinking face and said that he is probably still asleep but not for long because he has school this morning. Right then and there Naruto showed up with a happy look on his face. My eyes soften as I see how much he had grown from the last time I saw him.

"Good morning Mom, Dad.". They said good morning back to him as he say down at the table and his mother put toast on front of him. "You better hurry and get ready for school, ya know! I think your have a new homeroom teacher, right.". Naruto nodded as he scoffed down his to toast and walked over to the front door and put his sandals on. "And where do you think your going, mister?". She said as she got a tick mark on her head. "I'm going early!". Naruto sugar with a smile on his face then ran out the door.

Kushina-nee gave a small smile as she walked back to the kitchen. Minato kept reading his newspaper as his wife sat down and looked at her food. I was about to go check on Naruto but then the red-head started talking. "I'm happy...". Minato looked up from his reading and stared at his wife to keep talking. "I'm happy Ruby did this for us...". He put his reading down and looked directly at his wife. "I mean, what if we weren't here for Naruto and missed all this...his first words, when he started walking, his first day of school... All of it... and I know Ruby would have been here but...but..."

Minato put his hand on her hand which made her look at him. "I get what you are saying... and I agree with you. I am grateful that Ruby did this for us because now we can do what we always dreamed about and that was to be parents to a child. Of course I will always regret Ruby dying instead of me, and that will never change. Ruby will never leave our hearts, right?". Kushina-nee nodded and wiped tears from her eyes. "Your right, and nothing will change or live for Ruby and it son."

They went back to eating there food and I wiped tears away from my eyes. I decided to go check on Naruto and I see him standing next to a wall of graffiti and an old man telling to clean it up. Naruto shouted at him then ran off. This is what I have noticed the past few years. The villagers get hostile at him when his parents aren't around but when they are they are nice and friendly to him. This made my blood boil as I hear to oh the ladies talking about getting him out of the village. I see a man with a scar on his face watch Naruto from a distance and I recognized him as Iruka, the small kid from the academy.

So he has grown up huh, interesting. I hear Naruto shout as he runs off. "I'm not that...kid! I'm Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, and I'm going to be Hokage some day!". I gave a small smile as I saw him run into the distance. Naruto got to the academy not long after and waited for the teacher to come. He took awhile so Naruto decided to make a trap for him by putting an eraser on to the the door sill when it opened it would fall on the victims head.

After a few minutes, the door opened and Iruka came inside and the eraser feel in front of him. He looked up at Naruto then asked the class who did it. This got me confused bade he knows that Naruto did it and no one else. No one answered and Naruto just gave him a huge smile that could compare to my brother's. Iruka took a step then feel backward on something slippery on the floor which made Naruto laugh harder. "I got you! That eraser was nothing but a decoy, and you totally feel for it!"

Iruka stood up with an angry look on his face as Naruto just smiled at him. Iruka looked away him as Naruto started to walk away saying that he will go to the hallway but Iruka stopped him and told him to go to hit seat. Naruto looked surprised at him then went to his seat saying that the class was boring. The teacher went to the podium, "Good morning! First let me introduce myself, starting today I am your new homeroom teacher, Iruka Umino. My favorite food it Ichiraku Ramen and my least favorite food is mixed rice. I was born on may twenty sixth so I am a Geminin my hobbies include going to the hot tub..."

I stopped listening and looked over at Naruto to see him having a disappointed look on his face. "Oh Naruto...". I said but no one could hear me. I decided to let Naruto have his time at school so I headed out of the classroom and walked through the streets of Konoha. While walking around I saw Kakashi reading his new book store that he started awhile ago called Icha Icha Paradise which was funny to me because Master Jiraiya wrote that book with a sexual passion. Kakashi had changed but I say it's for the better because he now let's people in and is friendlier.

Turning around I see Lord Third Hokage walking in the direction of the Academy. Deciding to follow him we make it back to the Academy and we walk around, looking into the classrooms that we held there. We finally made it to Naruto's classroom and we see Naruto asleep on his desk. Iruka walks up to him about to hit his book on his head but then he stops and Naruto points out that it was time to leave. I was surprised because i didn't know that it was that late.

The Hokage walls away and I walk through the door and into the classroom. I see Iruka look at the clock and starts to leave, dismissing the class and Naruto walls up to the clock laughing. "I knew he would fall for that old trick. That makes prank number three!". I giggle at Naruto's antics until Iruka came back in and Naruto feel backwards. "How did you figure it so quickly.". Naruto asked with a shocked face but Iruka just tried him to return back to his seat.

Iruka brought everyone outside and started discussing what they were going to do. "Alright everyone, instead of just introducing yourself, I want each of you to demonstrate your skill with ninjutsu.". Everyone pouted and awed while Iruka did an awkward laugh then told them they they were got getting graded on it, but it's only bring user to see where you stand in your studies and good how to proceed with lessons.

"Okay, we will start of Roth the basic clone Jutsu and the first up is Sasuke Uchiha, wanna give it a shot.". The girls started to scream with excitement as Sasuke came out from the crowd and into the middle. "The clone Jutsu is even easier then child play.". Naruto got mad and asked on an angered tone why Sasuke had to be so smug all the time and that it was annoying. I agreed with Naruto but usually all Uchihas were like that so I didn't really matter.

Sasuke told him to shut up while a pink haired girl and a blonde told Naruto to stay away from him. Naruto then got depressed and about the girl who's name was Sakura who i guess he liked. Sasuke then did the clone Jutsu that was almost perfect which surprised me in a way but not until Naruto knocked out one of them and missed. Then he hit the real one which turned out to me fake and really Sasuke was up in a tree, that wad what surprised me.

"That's amazing, two clones at once while the real Sasuke moved away unseen.". Iruka said for which was what I was also thinking at that time. Naruto then said that he could do it to them made signs for there clone Jutsu. Smoke appeared and a sick looking clone appeared and everyone laughed. "Look I don't know what your problem is loser, but stay away from me, you got that.". Sasuke said as a boy who had shades said that he was interrupting the lesson and becoming a annoyance. Everyone started talking at once about Naruto then Iruka came in and said to stop ganging up on him.

I smiled, thinking that he was being mine to Naruto but in reality he just everyone to ignore him. Iruka then clapped his hands and told everyone to go back inside for the rest of class. Naruto clenched his fists and gritted his teeth which made my eyes sadden at him, wishing that things were better for him.

Once it was the end of school he didn't wait for his parents to show up. He ran to the nearest training ground and started to practice his clone Jutsu. "I'll show them... I'll show them all! I'm just as good as they are! Clone Jutsu!". Another sad looking clone appeared. "Dammit! Okay, one more try!". He started channeling chakra but then I felt sometimes presence and I saw a Hyuuga girl starting at him with sadness. I smiled because I knew that she cared for Naruto, like a real friends should.

He started walking home in the dark and he came up to the ramen shop and the owner asked if he was okay. Naruto told him that it was nothing so the guy asked if he wanted ramen but he said he couldn't pay. "Pay me back when you're rich, besides the stove is still on.". Naruto told him that he was the best. He started to eat the ramen and then his parents showed up worried about him. "Naruto! There you are, where have you been!". He told them that he was training, so they let it slide.

They had a family outing at Ichiraku Ramen and ate together as a family before they went home for rest.

**********Time skip brought to you by me bring bored**********

It was the next day and Naruto was at the Academy where they were practicing throwing shurikin. "Alright kids, today we are hands on with Shuriken Kenkustu. First, lets have someone demonstrate it for us...let's see..." Naruto and a kid with a dog on his head started shouting about how they wanted to do it first but the teacher calls out a kid named shino.

"Iruka-sensei...I'm afraid you've chosen the wrong person for this. The Shuriken Jutsu is not something that the Aburame clan practices...for all forms of warfare, we almost exclusively on parasitic insects." The teacher told him that, that was enough so he called out for Sasuke Uchiha to do it.

Naruto grunted and he asked why being full of yourself makes you popular. Sasuke got three Shuriken in each hand and threw them at the wooden post, with them all being in a straight line. Iruka and his "fangirls" started praising him and Naruto scoffed. "So he is stuck up and a show off...I could do that too if I wanted too, ya know." I laughed at his tick that he got from his mother as Iruka told Naruto to come up and show us what he could do.

Naruto told everyone to be amazed as he walked up to the spot where he had to throw the Shuriken. I gulped and brought up his hands to throw the Shuriken. Once he did, you could see that none of them hit the target but were spread out all over the training field. Everyone started laughing at him while I just giggled at him.

Naruto turned around and started laughing too and stated that it was just a joke. A soft breeze blew by as Naruto ran up to his teacher asking him to let him try again. The teacher decline and asked for another person to come up and that was the rest of the day in the academy.

It was finally the end of school and I followed Naruto out of the school house and I could see that his parents were still not here. Naruto walked up to these kids and asked what they were doing this afternoon. "Nothing with you so get lost Naruto."

My eyes saddened at those words but it seemed that Naruto was unaffected by it. "Aw come on guys, we'll have lots of fun together. Just let me hangout with you guys and you will see." The boys glared at Naruto, "No way, forget it, not now and not tonight of the test of courage either." Naruto got excited when he heard him say the test of courage.

The kid next to the one who was talking hit him on the head and told him to shut up. "Wow, sound like fun! Just tell me where to go and I will be there!" Naruto said as the one of the boys said that he couldn't come and to not follow them. Naruto eyes saddened as he heard those words then stared to walk into the village deciding not to wait for his parents.
