Sorry for the delay in update, in was in hospital with my new little girl maisy. Hopefully I'll be able to update more often now and on more of daily bases.
Naruto woke early that morning, excited about exploring his new home. Without waking the other two Naruto slipped out of bed and changed out of pajamas and into his day attire. This consisted of a simple black T-shirt with orange stripes down each sleeve. On his legs were a pair of orange shirts with black flames starting from the bottom of the shorts and ended about half way. Wasting hardly any time at all, Naruto wrote a note which looked more like a scribble saying he was out and would be back soon.
The young jinchuriki walked out of then hotel, the warm rays of the early morning sun hearing his body. After deciding on what direction to go in, Naruto headed down the street towards a park he saw on their way to the hotel. As he walked down the street he saw a group of older kids shouting at a younger girl who was giving it right back at them. As he got closer he could hear some of the things they were saying.
"Monster!" And "They should of killed you when they had the chance" along with many other insults were shouted at the young girl who reminded him so much of himself. This is what the villagers used to do to him. The only difference was the girl had confidence and lots of it. Still, Naruto had had enough and went to the girls defence just in time as one directed a punch towards her face. He caught it just inches away from her face and twisted the older boys wrist with a sickening crack signalling he had broken it. As the boy backed up towards his group, looks of awe and fear were directed towards him as the group left leaving the two younger kids alone.
The girl Naruto had just helped turned her back on him and got ready to leave as well.
"Hey! Wait!" Shouted Naruto causing the girl to turn around. She had long blonde hair flowing down to her waist. It had a slight curl in it along with a fringe that sides at the left side of head and curled down each side framing her face. She wore a black long sleeve t-shirt with a lilac vest top with darker purple flowers on top. On her legs she wore dark purple 3/4 length trousers that clung to her legs. What Naruto noticed most were her hazel eyes that glowed in the morning sun. They were beautiful.
Naruto closed the distance between the two and gave one of his big goofy grins.
"I'm Naruto Uchiha Uzumaki, what's your name?"
The girl just stared at him blankly, confused. No one had ever spoken t her, not in this way anyway, it was like he didnt know about it.
"Yugito Nii" was all she said as she went to leave again only to be stopped yet again by Naruto.
"Hey there Yugito, wanna come with me to the park? I'm new here and don't really know anyone here and haven't seen anyone my age so was just wondering" he said with another goofy grin, showing of his longer than normal k-nines.
'Did he just ask me to go to the park, with him!?' Thought Yugito, she was delighted that someone her age wanted to play. She and seen other kids her age playing with each other but as soon as their parents saw here anywhere near their kids, they would usher them off to somewhere else sending her glares. It was only recently she had found the reason why, it was because of the two tailed cat, the Nibii. Yugito and the Nibii got on really well unlike most other Jinchuriki, she was her only friend.
Yugito for once actually smiled a genuine smile. "Sure I'd loved to!" And the two young blondes walked to the park together with Yugito pointing interesting things out as they walked. The pair arrived at the park and Naruto noticed how Yugito hesitated as the entrance of the park.
Curious he asked "what's wrong Yugito? Are those stupid bullies back?"
Yugito looked down hoping she didn't have to tell him about the Nibii. This was her first chance at making a proper human friend. "No its not that, its just... adults don't seem to like me"
Naruto looked at her confused and angry both at once, Yugito on the other hand showed fear. Fear that shed have to tell him and he'd end up hating her like everyone else.
"That's just stupid! You've not done anything wrong so why would they hate you?!" Shouted Naruto looking towards his fellow blonde for an answer.
Said blonde sighed knowing it was inevitable she took a deep breath and prepared to tell him. There was two ways this could go, One being she could have a friend her age who understood and liked her for her and not in fear of the Nibii, someone who could tell the prisoner from its jailer or two it could completely wrong and he would hate and fear her along with everyone else. The latter was more likely.
" Its because the day I was born, I had a beast sealed inside me, the two tailes, Nibii. Everyone thinks I'm it just transformed into a human" she didn't look up, she couldn't look Naruto in the eyes from fear that he would hate her. Little did she know her felt the complete opposite, one look at his face could tell that. A huge smile appeared on Naruto's face as he engulfed Yugito in a huge hug surprising her greatly.
" Yugito, this is great! Well great that you have the Nibii, I'm sorry for that but I'm so happy to meet someone the same as me! Someone who understands! I went through the same as you in my old village that's why me and two others moved here. Together me and you are gonna prove to Everyone were not the monsters inside of us"
Naruto let go of the hug and smiled at Yugito who's cheeks were now a slight pink colour. Her eyes widened when she finally thought on what he and said.
"Wait, what do you mean 'someone the same'?"
"I had the nine tailed fox, the Kyuubi sealed Into me the day I was born as well" as soon as he was done speaking he grabbed hold of Yugitos hand and dragged her over to the climbing frame
"Come on! I wanna play!"
Yugito smiled and let Naruto take her further into the park, not wanting her time with him to end.
The two young blondes played with each other until Naruto's stomach decided it was time for lunch.
"Let's meet back here once we've had lunch. I'm starving!"
"Yeah sure" replied Yugito not sounding as enthusiastic as her fellow blonde. Said person picked up on this.
"What's wrong Yugito? You not hungry?"
"No...its just... villagers don't normally sell me food and I don't have enough left this month for lunch"
"Oh...I know! Come with me! You can have lunch with me!" And again Naruto dragged his new friend out the park and down the street by the hand heading towards the hotel.
"I'm back Itachi-niisan!" Shouted Naruto as he entered their hotel room, closing the door leaving Yugito outside. Itachi walked out from the kitchen door holding a bowl of steaming ramen.
"Your favourite" he said with a small smile, handing then bowl to Naruto. The younger boy quickly took the bowl and rushed outside and slammed the door shut.
"I'm back Yugito-chan" said Naruto placing the bowl down beside her.
The female blonde looked up confused "chan?"
"Yeah well you are my friend right?"
"That's right Naruto-kun" she said adding extra emphasis to the kun part. She smiled up at him and he did the same down to her before going back inside once more, this time much quieter. He snuck in through the door and went through to the kitchen not wanting to gain the attention of Itachi. He went into the cupboard and pulled out a bowl and chopsticks and went back quietly to Yugito. Despite his efforts Itachi, being the great ninja he is, noticed him as soon as Yugito entered the building but just left the young blonde to it. It was after all none of his concern.
Naruto closed the door and sat beside Yugito. He placed the empty bowl down and picked up the one full of ramen and split it between the two bowls. He handed one of the bowls to Yugito who looked at him with a look of pure happiness before digging in and devouring her bowl of ramen closely followed by Naruto. The pair both stood up and Naruto slid the bowls back into the room. Yugito and Naruto both left the hotel and were just walking around the streets trying to decide on where to go.
"I know there's this beautiful place I know a little away from the village, I have to show you it!" And with deciding on Yugito's idea they pair set out, Yugito in the lead. The forest around Kumo looked different to the ones that Naruto was used to. The trees here were thin and pale unlike the ones in the land of fire which were thick and dark brown.
After about five minutes of being dragged Naruto set his eyes upon the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. Before him lay a crystal blue lake that shimmered in the sunlight. Surrounding it were flowers in different shades of pinks, yellows and whites as far as the eye could see. In the middle of the lake was a small island covered in flowers with a clump of of tress varying in heights.
"Its beautiful" Said Naruto turning his head to look at Yugito who was already looking at him smiling. Beings round him made her smile, he made her happy, he was her first true friend.
"I stumbled across it by accident when I was running away from the villagers and have been coming here for comfort ever since. Its a nice relaxing place to come to" she grabbed Naruto by the wrist, catching him completely of guard and dragged him downtk the edge of the lake.
"Come on! The its not deep here!" She shouted as she rolled up her trousers and ran into the water. Naruto stood there for a few minutes before he finally registered what was going on and ran into the lake after Yugito. Naruto splashed Yugito only to find she wasn't anywhere to be seen. He looked around and then flat something at at his feet. Before he had time to do anything Yugito had dragged him down into the water, it was seep enough only to leave his head sticking above water. Yugito submerged from underwater, her hair sticking to her face as she smiled and splashed Naruto, him doing the same. After a full out water war the two got out and state on the grass to dry off. Once they had dryer off enough, Naruto suggested that they play tig and so that's what they done for the remainder of the time.
The sun was starting to set and the two young bones were shattered from all their playing. Both of their cheeks bright red and panting.
"Come on lets head on home Naruto-kun, it'll soon be time for tea" Naruto agreed and the pair made out for the long trudge home.
Naruto and Yugito entered the gates to Kumo and had dropped to say goodbye before going they're sperate ways home.
"Bye Yugito-chan! See you again tomorrow at the park Kay?!" Asked Naruto.
"Sure! See you then Naruto-kun" replied Yugito as she turned her back to Naruto and made her way back home, looking forward to seeing her friend again the next day. Naruto also made his way back home, his stomach growling reminding him it was time for food.
'I wonder what's for tea? Huh'
He rounded the corner for the hotel and entered through the main doors and went up the stairs to the fifth floor where their room was. He opened the door and shouted "I'm home!"
He got a reply of two "welcome homes"
The young Uzumaki sniffed the air as he went through to the living room and sat down on a couch next to Sasuke.
"Something smells good, wonder what Itachi-niisans cooking" he asked out loud not really expecting an answer. Right on cue Itachi walked in with two plates of food. Each plate had a portion of rise and then beef in some sauce with a mix of vegetables. Though Itachi didn't seem the type he was an amazing cook as the two young boys had found out when he started cooking form them. Although he didn't like them mentioning it, they would always let him know they like it. Itachi went back though and brought back with him a third plate and sat down with the two boys.
"So Naruto his was your day with your new friend?"
At that question Naruto face lit up and he gave the two Uchiha's a very detailed description of his day with Yugito.
