NARUTO POV
I don't know how to read. I look back and think over my last three years of school. I remember taking the test the first time and asking the teachers what the words were on the test and I also remember them telling me to shut up and take it or get out. Either way the class laughed, I laughed and then I left.
I remember before the second test I asked Hokage how to spell my name. He was shocked and sad at the same time. But that was the first time he actually answered my question. He even took the time to watch me both write and spell it out. But that was after he thought me how to write my ABC's which was also something he was surprised about. He knew I indeed did know them since I sung it for him when he visited me at the orphanage. But he did not know I never learned how to write them out.
He looked very sad at this fact, but I was just so happy to learn at the time I didn't really question it. Someone was teaching me. I can write. I know my ABC's and what they look like. Once he was satisfied enough he taught me how to spell my name. It's N-A-R-U-T-O space U-Z-U-M-A-K-I.
He promised he was going to teach me how to read but time after time, he was busy. Or his personal assistant would not let me enter. So I quit. Last night was actually the first time I saw him in 2 years. I almost hopped up to run to see if he would finally keep his promise. But I quickly deaded the issue. How could I honestly ask him any question such as, hey old man, can you still help me to read? After learning that he lied to me my whole life.
KAI POV (I'm changing her name to Kai from Tim it will be easier to follow since that will be her name throughout the story…)
Where is the boy? It should not be this hard to find one cute, blue-eyed boy with whiskers. I just need to find him and introduce myself and come off as non-threating as possible. I finally finish downloading a lot of material, which is mostly about the Uzumaki's. I'm thanking kami as now I have actual things to teach the boy. Things about his clan. I also remember about the Uzumaki temple here in Konoha. As soon as that thought came to mind. The location and how it looked when it was first built came to the forefronts of my mind. I giggled this will be fun.
NARUTO POV
I get up to head to the ramen stand. I just want to eat and go home. I start thinking about tomorrow and wonder if Iruka even cares about me. I grip the book hard against my chest. He knows how Sakura treats me; he knows how much Sasuke hates me. He knows these things so why…
I shake my head.
Yet, he makes a comment infront of the class like it was my fault the class was quiet. I was knocked into my desk. My nose was bleeding anyone would have been angry at the time. Then once again later he talks about how I should of did better in the class and on tests. That why I am at the bottom. Knowing after last night Mizuki gave me wrong information. Kicked me out for no reason. Among other things.
I look at the book tightly gripped in my hands. I raise it over my head to throw when someone grabs my arm. I look up to see nothing but smoke.
KAI POV
I am still looking for the boy. As I walked through the village I have seen several of Naruto's classmates with headbands and know he must of have past. I want to find him quickly before I loose my chance to make a difference. After walking some house I finally spot the boy. To excited and not thinking properly I rush over. He raises his hand and was about to hit me with a book before I stopped him. I look at my hand and quickly drop my henge.
NORMAL POV
KAI
Hey watch out there, Naruto. You almost hit me.
States cheerfully. Naruto looks at here questionably. He grins stupidly and points at her.
NARUTO
Hey you're that girl that got lost and fell into my house earlier.
He screams.
KAI
Aww, you're so cute!
She squeals lowering her hand that is holding him and the raised book. He lets go of his hand and ruffles his hair.
KAI
I have been looking all over this city for you
young man. First to apologize and second to
finally meet you properly!
Kai hold out her hand for him to shake.
KAI POV
I was going to be all slowly getting to know him but I can't do that to the boy. Hair and everything makes me a Uzumaki in the dream. So why not rip this Band-Aid off quickly and tell him I'm his cousin or something. This is my dream and I can be whomever I want.
NARUTO POV
Meet me? Who is this girl? How does she know my name? Doesn't she know who I am? What I am?
NORMAL POV
KAI
My name is Kai Uzumaki, But you can call me Kai. Since we
are cousins. Or in general terms "family".
Naruto looks at Kai suspiciously, Uzumaki huh? If that is true, where…
NARUTO
Where have you been my whole life
Naruto jumps back in anger, hope and sadness. Kai sighs sadly.
KAI
I'm only 15 years old. I just made it to this village yesterday.
Last night as I was wondering I got lost in
the woods. I overheard a conversation and heard
your name. I came looking for you once the coast was clear.
Kai eyes begin to water.
KAI
Do you know how hard it is to look for someone
you didn't know existed. I thought my family
was dead. After my mother died. I was alone.
I started searching for the past two years for someone
anyone in my family.
Naruto looks up. So she heard, if she knows why did she still look for me? Also, why didn't she tell me any of this morning? Let me see what she wants before I agree to anything. But if she is my family maybe just maybe she may know who my parents are.
Kai wipes a tear and smiles softly, those acting classes really worked out back home, eh. I almost believed my own self. But my story...Kai pauses. I don't remember practicing that story. It must be an automatic answer in my dream. Either way it worked.
I want to know if she will tell me the truth. I need to asked her what exactly she heard last night and see if she will lie to me or not. Naruto thinks.
NARUTO
Do you know what I am?
Kai nods.
KAI
You're a boy. You're a cute blonde boy with
'fox'- like attributes. You're my family.
Kai responds confidently.
Naruto looks up in surprise. He turns away from Kai and starts to walk towards his apartment. Kai follows after using a quick henge. Naruto notices this but keeps quiet as they walk. The pair reaches his rusted broken down apartment in a few silent minutes. Naruto enters and sees Tim shadow clone waiting for him. He quickly turns to bolt, but Kai stops him. She drops her henge and leads him back into the apartment.
KAI
Calm down, remember I said earlier I have been looking for you?
In case you came home before I found you I left a clone here
to tell me if you came home before I had a chance to find you
myself.
Kai nods to the clone, it nods back and disappears in a poof. Kai goes silent for a minute as all the clones' information is absorbed.
Kai walks over to the couch and sits down. Naruto sits at the table watching both the door and Kai.
KAI
What do you know about the Uzumaki clan?
NARUTO
I have a clan?
KAI
So I guess that means nothing, am I right?
Naruto nods. Kai sighs, this dream is really detailed. I may need to just let myself go and be one with the dream. When I wake up I'll wake up. Yeah, right now I'm with Naruto so I'll make this boy strong. So even when I do wake up I can say with confidence I can make a difference in Naruto if I ever had the chance to be in the show.
KAI
It's a good thing that you are sitting down. This make take a while,
I'll get up and make us some tea. Where do you keep your tea?
NARUTO
I don't have any tea, but I can make us some ramen.
Kai settles back down into the couch.
KAI
That's great! But I'll go buy some teach once I finish my story.
Go and make the ramen now. Because there will be a lot of
information. You will learn both why our clan was one of the best
and very much hated.
Naurto nods and walks towards the kitchen to start the ramen.
While he is away Kai begins to think. I want him to trust me. So I must tell him everything. Why the Uuzmaki's were both loved and feared. He needs to know his heritage. He never learned that and I know for sure he was never thought. Plus I know everything about the Uzumaki's. I'm like a walking library. I'm still loading things but so far I know seals, jutus, history, politics, sciences, everything. Naruto will learn it all as well. I will make sure I can teach him everything before I wake up. I want to see him strong, smart and happy. Because he will be great or this knowledge given to me will all be a waste. I'm still don't know what my purpose is in this dream but until it comes I will make sure Naruto is not ignorant to things any longer.
As Naruto is making the ramen he thinks on the upcoming conversation. I know I shouldn't trust her so easily. But I want to know about my family my clan. She talks as if they no longer exist but I still want to know something… anything…the old man gave me this name. I hope it's really mine. Not some random name of the draw. But I won't tell her yet. It's not her business to know. But if Uzumaki is really my name and this is really my clan. Then I want to know everything. Damn, these three minutes takes foever!
