Epilogue
I was told that the night I was born both of my parents died while trying to save the village from the nine-tailed fox. At the age of four I was kicked out of the orphanage to live on my own. Everyone called me a demon and blamed me for the death of their friends and family, but at the time I didn't understand why I was the target of so much torment and cruelty. Then when I turned five, with the help of the third hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, I entered into the academy to start my journey in becoming a shinobi.
Several years later at the age of twelve I graduated with the second highest score in the academy, right behind Sasuke Uchiha, and became a genine. I was then placed on team seven along with Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha, our sensei being Kakashi Hatake the copy ninja. At first none of us got along, Sakura was always fawning over Sasuke while he couldn't think of anything else but revenge because several years before his older brother had murdered his entire clan, leaving Sasuke as the only survivor. But two months later we got our first real mission, it was supposed to be a simple escort mission to the land of waves, only C-rank, but it turned out to be something else entirely.
During that mission all of us formed bonds that we never thought could be broken. Sasuke willingly risked his life to save me from Haku and I thinking him dead lost control and learnt the reason why people called me demon and monster. Even Sakura had shown great courage in defending the bridge builder and all three of us became friends, my first true friends. After the mission had been completed and the bridge built, we returned to the village and I finally learnt the truth of my past. I was a jinjuriki, the host of the kyuubi, the nine-tailed fox and my emotions, specifically anger, temporarily weakened the seal which allowed for the kyuubi's chakra to attempt at taking over my body.
Three months later we were entered into the chuunin exams, but something happened during the week leading up to the exams, even now looking back I still don't completely understand everything that happened. But somehow we were visited by our nineteen year old selves and everything was changed. During the exams we were attacked by Orochimaru and I ended up being cursed by the snake, and thankfully with the help of my older self the curse was removed. Then the month leading up to the finals I left with master Jiraiya and my older self to train, the older Sasuke stayed behind to train his younger self with the aid of Kakashi.
The final round came and went. Both Sasuke and I passed and obtained the rank of chuunin, everyone was happy. Supposedly there had been a plot to attack the leaf village by Suna and the Sound, but with the help of Naru and future Sasuke their plot was foiled and as a result the Hokage and Kazekage formed an alliance. We all celebrated and things couldn't get better.
A few days later both Sasuke and I were gathered by the future Sasuke and Naru, it was time for them to leave. They each taught us many things like to never give up, believe in your friends and never lose hope. It was sad to see them go, but I will never forget what they taught me. Soon after they left I too left the village again to train with Jiraiya, but Sasuke and I made a promise. We promised that we would train and get stronger so that one day I could become hokage and so he could help me change the village and make it a better place, and maybe even change the world. And I cannot wait to see what the future holds!
