Naruto Uzumaki, Odessa, Texas
It's official my life sucks… besides the super powers because those are awesome.
Paperman, just had to be here didn't he.
Seriously who hates me upstairs?... or downstairs… Nevermind it doesn't really matter who hates me. However I'm glad to say, him being here was nothing more than a jump scare, as he soon turned and left the diner, without noticing my presence.
Or at least I think he didn't see me… Damn you Paranoia.
after Bennett left I soon followed going in the opposite direction of the deranged salesman, I readjusted my backpack. It was a simple emerald green backpack with a few extra pockets, and to a normal person it was just a backpack.
To me it was an infinite space, I abused at will.
Before leaving my apartment, and estranged Biological family, I had packed everything I took from various video games, my computer, and shoved them mercilessly into my backpack. I had inscribed so many runes on this backpack it wasn't even funny…
The only important one however was the security seal. Meaning you had to have, either a code or permission from the owner.
Now you might ask why I was going, considering it was about eight p.m. on a school night. The answer would be the school.
Or more specifically, the workshop.
You see I through a deal with the engineering teacher, was allowed to use the workshop on the condition I broke, or stole something I would be forced to pay for it, and lose the the privilege.
I was going there now to experiment more with my, new power source, maybe even reverse engineer a power cell if I got board.
I was also going screw around with the power armour frame I had acquired, a set of X-01 Mk. VI power armor, that was currently placed on, the Power armor frame.
It was a bulky suit with a helmet that looked, slightly insectoid in nature. Taking the helmet off the frame I stared into the black eye pieces, that seemed to be staring directly into my sole.
My ring glowed a gold, color signifying it a was ready to place the selected runes.
Slapping my hand on the helmet as runic lettering crawled over the metal.
It would fit my needs.
Ino Yamanaka, Odessa, Texas
I woke to the silent creek of the front door, getting up I opened the door to my temporary room, only to find a drowsy Naruto, stumbling his way into the house. I vaguely remembered the, clock saying it was 3:00 A.M.
What the fuck was my brother doing up this late on school night?
Jiraiya would have teared me a new one if I was out this late. *Groan* Oh looks like Naruto's gonna get one instead…
Jiraiya walked into the, room in his tweed pajamas, his usually jovial expression washed away in a riptide, of anger, and possibly just a bit of shame.
Even though it wasn't aimed at me, I couldn't stop flinching in the face of such rage. My brother on the other hand didn't seem fazed by jiraiya's fury. It might have just been his drowsy state, but he didn't even seem to care jiraiya was their.
"So we have any sort of alcohol? I was sure I had some…" Naruto remarked offhandedly, Jiraiya turned purple. "And why would an under age teenager need Alcohol?" Naruto looked up from the fridge he was currently searching, and blinked as if for the first time noticing jiraiya's presence.
"Well I honestly don't like having mercury covering the walls of my mouth, and alcohol seemed like the best option, to get rid of it…" I was internally laughing at his response, as I don't laugh aloud much anymore. But he responded in such away that it made Jiraiya stop and instead of being furious, as he was now wondering what the heck my brother was doing, playing with mercury.
"Aha I found it!" Naruto yelled in triumph, pulling a clear bottle that wouldn't be out of place in a mad scientists lab. "What the hell was it doing behind the cheetos?" he questioned, only to stop a few seconds later "Why the hell are the cheetos in the fridge in the first place?" His expression covered with the absurdity of the question
Shaking my head, I could only laugh silently at my brothers, seemingly innocent questions.
Jiraiya however had reaquired some of his former anger. "What were you doing out so late young man!" Naruto however, just looked at him like he was stupid.
Walking up to jiraiya, Naruto just laughed.
"If you wanted to play the father figure, you should have done it before I hit double digits." he said almost casually as he patted jiraiya on the shoulder in some, twisted parody of comfort.
"Maybe you also should have decided drinking an entire bottle of vodka in front of me, was a bad idea, although I could have done without the, preview to the icha icha stories…" My estranged brother remarked uncaringly, as he walked into his room. leaving Jiraiya frozen in place, while I myself, laughed mentally, while my outwardly uncaring appearance remained intact.
Well until a stack of papers smacked me in the face, peeling them off, I stared at my brother, who was giving me an amused, half smile as my uncaring facade was shattered by, a look of incredulity. Of which I can guess his amused grin originated from.
"It's your school papers, you start tomorrow." He said his voice holding a tint of laughter. "Does that mean we'll be staying here?" A hint of hope clawed it's way to the surface, actually heard in my voice.
"well not here per say, as I've already told you I'm moving, However it's just till, your back on your feet, after that your on your own." I had a feeling that was directed more toward Jiraiya than me.
All the same I couldn't stop the soft smile on my face, Little did i know I wouldn't have to wonder about power bills or anything of the sort for quite a while.
It would also be one of the last times I would would ever feel like a normal, Sixteen year old girl.
Not like I would care.
Naruto Uzumaki, Odessa, Texas: 6:12 A.M.
I watched as my sister set off towards school, the high school that is. I had already told her I wouldn't be able to introduce her, to anyone considering my outcast status, I only had a few select friends, who were also outcasts.
That and I was checking out that one movie theater/hybrid...
I had already explained to her not to mention me if she managed to get in with the popular crowd, although she probably thought it was some sort of sibling cliche where I didn't want her to meet my friends.
Which I did, but for different a reason, that reason being I didn't want them to mentally scar my sister no matter how estranged.
Just imagining her meeting Lee caused me to cry and laugh maniacally at the same time.
Although I could guess she would end up an outcast, considering her, emotionless attitude. although it more than likely wouldn't hold up to Kakashi our history teacher, it was still likely she would end up an outcast.
Considering I was held back a year, because of "Bad Behavior" as my first grade teacher like to say it. I mean seriously I only got one bad grade, and built something to complicated for her to understand with building blocks.
I do believe she like to call me a psychopath, cause I built the basic schematics to a railgun, with a bunch of kids toys.
Most would have thought I was a prodigy, which I was, but she was some sort of church maniac, and though I was possessed by a demon or something.
And the school wondered why everyone in her class got bad grades.
Whatever, the theater/house hybrid was actually a pretty good deal, I would get a large place to do whatever the hell I wanted, and It had enough rooms for us to live in.
Considering I would be taking two of the, theater rooms and hooking them together for my workshop/room, I figured it would be fine.
well that was the plan until I saw the gigantic theater room containing the supposedly, Break through in movie theater technology.
It was the size of the one and a half of the other theater rooms put together.
The usual movie theater seating, was covered in plastic, sheets and strangely enough there wasn't the usual slant that allowed people, in the back to see the screen.
I bought the place for approximately, fifteen thousand dollars.
Other wise said I bought it cheap, as some of the structural damage, took quite a bit off the place. I finalised some of the paperwork, and handed over the coins which turned into stacks of, one hundred dollar bills, when they touched her hand.
Oh yeah the real estate agent turned out to be the actual owner of the place, her name was, Sammy Warner, whose father had inherited it from his grandfather. Getting off track she was quite surprised to see, me actually buying the place.
I think she was referring to my age but her doubts ended when I showed her I actually had the money to buy it.
She left soon after handing me the deed, I on the other hand went about, fixing the structural damage, and modifying the theater to my liking, with runes.
I retrieved the furniture, and any of the other things I simply didn't put into my green backpack.
I had Jiraiya Get Ino's things, giving him the address, before returning and finishing and modifications before he, arrived. the only room I really modified was the room that was going to be my room.
I had removed, the theater seats except fot eh front row, and the rest of the room had been outfitted with a sink several shelves, and I had added a second floor, with some grating, as t would be the place my bed went.
I stopped Jiraiya from going in under the guise of standard teen drama.
I had also hooked up three microfusion breeders, that powered the entire theater. I also negotiated, over the phone about a test run, with a few movie, producers, to play movies in the other, two projector rooms.
I say test run as, they would give me one or two movies that would be shown in the theaters, if I made enough money, it would expand to an actual deal, if not the whole thing would blow up in my face.
What I had to hide the money I was pulling from nowhere somehow.
Now I just have to figure out how to hide my reality bending ability from, my no longer estranged family.
Life was looking up, even it was just a little bit.
"I wonder what Ino's doing?"
