Menma was focusing as he was moving a little faster as Naru was able to keep up, Naru wondered "Sensai, you never talk about your Naruto much so what happened?" Menma blinked for a second before replying

"Naruto and I were orphans just after we were born, and people knew that Naruto was jinchuuriki but people didn't know I was so people accept me a little easier but for Naruto, he was hated after we became Ninjas and just after Hinata's Death, Naruto was about to abandon the mission leaving me Kakashi and Sasuke on our own, so as young brother we talked and more."

Menma was thirteen and just a newbie genin "Naruto you can't just leave us!" Naruto turned round as his blue eyes started to turn red "Why I'm hated" nine tail fox chakra started to leak out of Naruto's body "well I'm leaving the leaf and destroying people who hate me! Naruto looked at Menma with hate in his eyes "move Menma!" Menma was in a state of shock as Menma pulled out his kunai "you are not going anywhere!" Menma was getting ready to fight with his brother.
