Naruto: Ninja Pilot: Reason: Lack of interest, unable to move beyond basic plot points, unable to expound upon chapter summaries.
Chapter 01:
7 year old Naruto Uzumaki hated October the 10th. One would think you would love your birthday but for him, the day meant nothing but pain and even more hatred than usual. Unknowingly at the time, he carried the greatest enemy of his town, the feared Nine tailed fox within his navel. The beast had killed so many people and left the city without it's beloved leader, leaving nothing more than a single child for them to turn their hatred towards. But Naruto did not know why his birthday was so horrible for him, but that would soon change.
The day had started like any other October 10th with him waking up to the townspeople trying to break in his door, the child running out through his window and out into the streets the mob following. Every time he tried to lose them, he would turn a corner and there was another mob. Hours went by and Naruto began using new previously unknown routes to try and evade the people, and soon found himself hopelessly lost. Fearing more villagers the boy pressed onward and soon the city gave way to forest as he went around the Hokage monument's side. It was sparsely used now by anyone as a giant canyon and deep river cut behind the mountain creating a natural barrier that no one not even ninja would dare climb. Naruto was not a ninja and with the fear for his life guiding him made the slick rocks and deep chasm a haven.
Naruto clung to the rock side his small form able to use the worn section of rock to climb towards a hidden ledge he had seen earlier. Perhaps it was a cave he could use. Slowly his tired body rose upwards toward the opening. Gasping for breath his underfed and bruised body pulled itself into the cool dark recesses of the cave.
Naruto struggled to regain his breath and closed his eyes enjoying the sensation of the cool smooth floor beneath him. After several minutes the child's eyes opened again, this time taking in the most unusual sight. The 'cave' he was in was a man-made structure that lead deep into the mountainside. Naruto being the inquisitive nature that he is quickly hopped to his feet, It went of for several hundreds of meters until Naruto found himself in a dimly lit room. The air seemed to be filled with a spark of power he could feel resonating deep within him, humbling him yet also watching. As his eyes adjusted to the light, more shapes became apparent under horribly moth eaten tarps. All around him sad long forgotten equipment and that adding to the ominous pools of darkness gave the room a look of a graveyard than anything. Naruto quickly decided to leave the place, not liking the feel of the room at all and as he turned he vowed never to come back…
Until his eyes came across a massive object sitting under a tarp rather haphazardly, a single metal protrusion stood above the tarp with a white skull and crossbones grinning on faded black paint, the very thing that had caught his eye. It was an object that would change his life forever. With a questioning mind overriding the fear his small hand grasped the ancient cloth and pulled it free in a shower of dust that choked the boy. As the air cleared and his sight was restored to him he came head to nose with a metal contraption unlike he had ever seen before. Despite it's disrepair state and the look that it was incredibly old it seemed to jut out at him. He didn't know what to make of it. But yet under the dust and the missing panels he could feel something lurking. His hand with a mind of it's own reached forward and placed itself on the metal beak.
At once something sparked through him, electrifying his senses and jerking his body back away from the metal. His mind was a flurry of thoughts as he tried to slow his racing heart, and his panicked breathing. Amid the chaos that filled his mind a single word came unbidden to his lips.
"Protoculture…"
A name that hadn't been said in almost 500 years. Deep within the mountain something began to power up once more, something that had been forgotten.

At 7 years old Naruto was not what one would think of as book smart. In fact it was rare the child would even think of picking up a book or scroll. However for the rest of October following his birthday, the child could be found in the cave he had found exploring it's many rooms or simply staring at the machine that had sparked his interest in the place. Several other machines could be found though none were in as good a condition as the winged contraption. Yet Naruto struggled to put into place what any of these complex machines did. In the world he had grown up in the most complicated device he had ever seen was a TV or a radio. However these massive objects held more parts than any TV set or radio that could be found in the city combined. However Naruto knew that there had to be some sort of

Those interested, sorry folks. I tried. But I just couldn't restart my interest in this story to keep trying. A word every half a year? I'd be a hundred and ninety before I got to chapter 4. This is what I had planned out, but with all the plots in my head trying to fit this set pattern I soon gave it up and moved on to other things. The same issue I am having with Memories at the moment. memories has a very similar plot section as this does. Maybe the reason for my troubles for it
