Chapter 4
Disclaimer I do not own Naruto just my Oc
A/N: I'm sorry for not being able to update for a while I was in a short temporary depression because of family problems, and my 6 year old cousin threw my most of my notebook with most of my notes, for this story into the mud. I'm still not sure how he got into my room though.
Rate: K+ may turn T later on
Xxxx still means third person and lines mean first person
Chapter 4: Lies and Friends
Telling lies to protect someone you love
Loe only destroys them in the end
-Unknown
They lied….
Lairs, I should be used to liars. As a teacher students often lied or avoid telling the full truth.
Maybe this is one more reason why I shouldn't join the ranks or be a teacher again, or perhaps that's exactly the reason why I should.
I may despise liars with all my heart, I may also be disgust to be degraded as on e later on. But i'm also a hypocrite i'm a liar i've always known i've been one ever since moving from my parents. It's only gotten worse, ever since being born here.
Whether I do something or not still remains unanswered, but even I could tell something was very wrong in the village. It's hard to tell that something is going wrong in the village, though. Especially to the untrained eye. Though I guess most people have other things in mind such as the economy, treaties, the government. More importantly family.
Family, I don't exactly know when it happened but I started considering them as family. But having them lie to me so often.. Hurts, though I know why they lie is because they care.
Funny isn't? You would assume family wouldn't lie, that they would tell you the truth no matter what, but it's not true they often lie because they care, or because it's better than knowing the truth. I'm not sure about most but that's just another major difference between my original family and this one. My original family were blunt people to the point it considered rude but polite.
My original parents made sure to install honesty into me from a young age, Perhaps that's why until I moved away from them I didn't understand liars.
I realize parents especially ninja parents want their children to look at them with their wide innocent eye with adoration and looking at them as heroes before they soon realize what they truly are… Bu

Pluck. Pluck
Iruka continued to tune her tou-chan violin; as she sat in the living room, making sure to face the door. To see if one of her parents came home.
Haru looked at her granddaughter with a sad look, she knew her granddaughter was different, from other kids her age. She was sadly, more mentally mature. Due to this reason her granddaughter start showing signs of inheriting the Umino kekkei genetic.
Though just for today, she was glad she showed a little sign of being her true age, wanting to see her parents; like any other child would. She knew Iruka was slowly, but increasingly avoiding practice ever since her parents left.
Practicing the violin, like her life depended on it, like it would bring back the dead or in this case her parents from danger. Iruka often acted like she was trying to reach for something, no one else could see: but couldn't reach it.
Haru couldn't help, but wonder: how did Iruka learn to play so fast. She was sure that no books.( no matter how good they were), wasn't able to teach her all of it like a real teacher would be able too!
Though if she was honest to herself, Iruka was slowly coming home or staying at home less and less, always with Mizuki and the other two, whatever their names were. It made her fear that Noriko would be the one to come home early one day and find iruka alone.
Which, was why she was doing this. Iruka and her would be leaving the house, to live in at an old friend's house with her grandson.
Both children would benefit from each other. She thinks, before frowning. Hopefully Kohari no longer lives anywhere near the district.
Konoha was not an old Village. But it wasn't relatively new either, so it shouldn't be a surprise that someone could avoid a person or district. If they knew the routes, we'll enough, so perhaps that's why I hadn't noticed this District, it was a shame that neither manga or anime showed what the village look liked in a map, or did they? These were times when I really wished I listen to my cousins..
Anyway, have you ever felt like you were being watched? Well that was how this district felt, like someone was watching them, waiting to strike on innocent souls. I wondered if it was only me who could feel the grim air around the district.
" Are you sure we have to live here?" I asked, not bothering to hide my distaste, towards the district; unknowingly clutching the violin case. Obaa-chan sighed, before patting my head, lightly.
"Why don't you look around," she said, "Perhaps, you'll start to enjoy this place once you explore some of it." her voice didn't suggest, the or else. But her face did, doing the smart move for my health. I took off, to look around the suffocating district.
Violin case still in hand.

Miyu was not having a good day, no wait month. Her two 8 year old grandsons, have recently entered the academy. A war suddenly started, making her worry that her grandsons might be forced to graduate early; and sooner or later, her dear clan, would notice her grandsons potential and try to awaken the Sharingan. her sweet grandsons were too young, too outgoing. To be restrained, but even she knew someone that had to teach them balance.
Perhaps, that's why she grudgingly accepted, the stupid invitation. To meet and let the never-ending headache Umino Haru and her granddaughter into her home.
"You know, it's not polite to glare." Haru stated, sitting perfectly, as she lifted her tea. Miyu twitched, before setting her cup down, onto the coaster. Oh how she hated the woman.
"Yes, but I am a Uchiha, my face is naturally like this." It wasn't and both knew, this was a lie. A lie that made Haru sigh, she still hasn't forgiven me, probably never will either.
"I know you don't like this neither does my granddaughter. But it is a necessary evil." Haru said, causing Miyu to scowl even deeper.
"We both know, I don't do anything unless there something up or given up." said Miyu
"You teach my granddaughter and I'll protect the boy or should I say boys?." the rooms temperature dropped. Suddenly Miyu wasn't facing the headache Haru, but the once noble heiress of the Umino clan, the one she was glad to have as a teammate, in a once upon a time.
So she knows, Miyu thinks as she carefully looks at Haru. Though she's stupid to think if her granddaughter could learn fast enough in a short amount of time… but now is not the time to think of that, my grandsons comes first.
Haru eyes gleam knowingly.
Doesn't mean I have to play nice though…
"Kohari, still lives near you know." Haru freezes to Miyu delight. " are you truly sure you would risk your granddaughter to her?"
Miyu knew it was a low blow but she needed to know how serious Haru was because if she was willing to let her granddaughter be caught by the woman then it meant it was showing signs.
Haru schooled her features, of course she still lives near she thought he couldn't just let his favorite wander around, just yet.
"of course." Haru said silently praying for her granddaughter soul.

The kitsune blinked, looking around to find whatever made her tummy feel warm and fuzzy inside.
The dwarf looked up from his newspaper. "What are you looking for?" he asked grumpy. "Shouldn't you be looking into those boxes?" the kitsune pouted at him.
"I will, I will! But first I need to find something!" she exclaimed, before pausing. "Shouldn't you be helping me?" she asked.
"I would, but if you hadn't made me drop the boxes or leave me to fend for myself I wouldn't be in this situation" he waved towards his crutches.
"muh." the kitsune went back into looking for something.
"A-HA! Found it!" she exclaimed holding up a crystal ball. "It looks so pretty." she said looking at with pure awe, before playing a catch with it.
The dwarf looked up lazily, before widening his eyes in horror knowing exactly what the ball was. "DON'T DROP IT!"
SMASH. …
…..
…
.
"Whoops"
SMACK! The dwarf groans, banging his head onto the table
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Haru shivered feeling like she just doomed her sweet sweet granddaughter.
"So, she shows signs." Miyu stated, giving Haru a knowing look. "After why else would you do this other than to escape his notice." Haru stiffens at the mention, but shows no other indication of /miyu being right or wrong.
"I would be more surprised if it didn't start showing after skipping a generation, though him not knowing with his little soldiers running around is rather… interesting." Miyu trailed off before sharing a look with Haru, a silent agreement had been made and there was no backing out.
Meanwhile….
"He's so slow." a boy said, commented making his friends laugh, as they look at a lone boy waiting at the gates.
"He's always late, he makes sense i have a bad mood everyday." A girl complains to her friend making the laugh, with two lone exceptions but even they didn't say anything.
"I bet there not really even brothers!" someone whispers. "They don't even act like their twins."
"He's barely started and he's already dead last"
"Poor tobi have someone like THAT! As a brother."
Laughter begins to arise, and the sound mocks into the kids ears as he waits for his twin brother to part from his group of friend. Only for him to ignore him and walk past by.
He sighed at his brother's behavior, before slowly going the other direction taking a longer route to avoid his clan, bullies and his brother, especially his brother.
I'm not going to cry, i'm not going to cry. He chanted inside his head. Dammit i'm crying! He tried to wipe away the tears, as he began to run.
He turned right, right, left, right. Zigzagging towards the one place he could be himself and not embress himself or anyone further.
So what if i'm not like my clan, or my brother he thought. So what if I like helping the elderly! They should just mind their own business!
Laughter echoed into his head, but one laughter struck inside his mind
but Ri- OMPH!
He bumped into something or rather someone, sending them both flying into the same direction, but also sending her case to the opposite direction of them.
"Eta!." he groaned out, opening his eyes. Freezing as he stared at the person he fell on top off.
"Nani?" she questions out, making him scramble off of her, so she could sit up. She rubs her head as he dust himself off the dirt.
"Are you okay?" He asks, before offering a hand to help her up. She opens her eyes to reveal golden eyes, one of them covered by strands of hair.
"Hai, thank." she said, taking his hand to get giving him a bright smile. He froze as he had never seen anyone but elderly people give him a smile.
He completely missed what she said.
"- i'm Iruka! and- " she stops herself realizing that he wasn't listening seemingly frozen. "Are you okay?" she asks.
…
….
..
.
"HELLO!?" she exclaims, waving her hands in front of him. "Anyone home in there?" Iruka stands in front of him pouting that he wasn't all there. Before looking at the direction her violin case went.
"I'll be right back." she serious to the frozen figure, not sure whether the person was going to be okay if she just left him, walking towards her you-chan's violin case. He snapped out of his frozen state realizing he was making a fool of himself.
"I'M OBITO!" he yelled out, tripping over himself.
I froze, Obito? Huh, why did that name seem so familiar? I know he was an important figure, but how?
Meh, he couldn't be THAT important. RIght?
Good? Bad? What do you think?
Also I would like to thank all those who reviewed, and those who waited patiently for the next chapter. I'll try to upload more.
Also, I'd like to ask, i'm going to do a timeskip sooner or later and I'm thinking of making one shots of the misadventures of Si iruka.
Thanks!
