Hello. You might be wondering why you are here, or how the Hell you got here in the first place. Well, I don't exactly know myself but I do know one thing: I am a storyteller, and I am going to tell you a story. This is not your everyday story with a fairytale ending. No, this is a true story.

This is a story about a nobody who turned into somebody.

Do you remember a certain quote? A quote which went something like this: the flower that blooms during winter, is the most beautiful of all.

The quote may or may not be correct but it offers the same meaning. With this said, I shall start my story.

There was once an invasion in a small town. This invasion was led and held by one person, and one person only. One demon, to be exact. Even if it was just single-man invasion, it struck fear into the hearts of the citizens of this small town. The soldiers, so to speak, of this town fought hard and bravely but their efforts were futile and many died in the hands of this one demon. Innocent citizens and the fighters alike were not spared.

That was when the hero came in. He was the current leader of this town and he fought alongside his people. He was an intelligent man with great potential and strength. He saw the wasted attempts and spilt blood. He saw no other choice but to seal this demon. Finally, he performed the sealing of this demon on a small, newborn baby boy. And so ended the invasion and many more blood that was sure to spill. It was meant to be a joyous day. However, with the ending of the once great demon, ended the life of a great leader.

The previous leader took charge of the newborn baby. However, he was unable to balance his leadership duties, grandson and this baby boy, and soon this baby boy started living independently at age 5. Instead of the hero this boy was meant to be, the town's people treated him as a nobody. All except two. Cruel was his short life but he faced them with a smile.

Entering the town's academy for special education only to repeat for3 years, he finally graduated at the age of 12 with the title of Dead Last. Along with his team, they went through the coldest winter and the warmest summer together. From the Haku-Zabuza incident, to the Chuunin Exam incident, the betrayer-and-the-betrayed incident and the war, it was truly a bitter 3 years.

But time and time again, this Dead Last proved that he can be somebody, and he was. At age 20, this once nobody became what he wanted: the leader of this small town. The town's people respected him and acknowledged him as the hero who proved that if need be, he would die to protect the town. At the ripe old age of 90, this once-boy died peacefully, leaving behind a grandson and his newborn great-grandson. The funeral was a sorrowful event with many mourners paying one last respect for their late leader.

And so ends the story of the boy who went from a nobody to a somebody; Uzumaki Naruto, Rokudaime.

End
