Alone in his office in the secret Moon Base, which was run by mostly former KND operatives, a fifteen year old Naruto Uzumaki was rocking back and forth in his wooden chair, a toothpick in his mouth as he was thinking about his life. Had it really been ten years since he'd been adopted by the Uno family? Yes, yes it has. Honestly, he was GLAD to leave the village of Konoha. No one really liked him anyway, let alone tolerate him. He remembered the smug look upon Iruka Umino's face when he was speaking to the English-accented Uno adults when they shook hands and exchanged words of pleasantry, giving Naruto away as if he were a prize, but he was only five years old at the time and didn't understand why the people in that village were so cruel to him, but now, he didn't give a crap. Everywhere he turned, the ones he were close to the most always turned their backs on him. Even Nigel himself turned his back on him when he left Naruto to get a job in the Moon Base. Naruto never thought Nigel would do that...but, things don't change. He sighs as he slowly gets up and pushes in his chair, but jumps as he hears a slight knock on the door. Grumbling to himself as he took the toothpick out and threw it in the trashcan, he yells, "C'mon in! Or whatever..."

It was his adopted brother, Nigel Uno, whose hair had grown into a slick dark brown mullet. He'd got a bit taller over the years and he was...smiling at his brother as Nigel came in with a strawberry frosted cake in his hands. Naruto eyes him. He didn't trust Nigel. Not yet.

"What's with the cake?", Naruto asks with a scowl upon his face.

Nigel, stepping back a bit, says softly, "Happy birthday..."

The vicious look on Naruto's face quickly dissolves. Shit. He forgot his own birthday.

"Thanks…"

Nigel nods and sets the cake on the table. "Good thing I remembered. You're officially fifteen now."

"Yea. I missed you, bro."

"Me too. Sorry we've never talked. I've been so busy with-"

"Fannie and her stupid rules."

Nigel frowned. "You know I never wanted to leave-"

"But, you did."

"Only for the money. You know Mom and Dad are getting older."

Naruto scoffs. "I know that, dumb ass...! I'm talking about you left ME. You were the one I'd always TALKED to."

"Mom and Dad were there, too!"

"It didn't matter! They took me in just to make the people in my village HAPPY."

Naruto rests his palms upon the table and sighs, looking at Nigel and smiled. "Sorry. A lot of anger build-up."

Nigel smiles. "I know. I thought that this is the perfect day to spend time with each other."

Naruto finally grins. "Cheers to that shit!"

Naruto and Nigel sit next to each other as Nigel cuts the first slice of cake, giving it to Naruto and they ate until Numbah 86 barged in, angrier than usual. Ugh. Fannie. How Naruto HATED her so much. He didn't see why Nigel had to work with her. SHE was the reason why everyone here hated him. SHE was the reason why Nigel was distant towards him. SHE...was the reason that Nigel left him in the FIRST PLACE. Sure, he was a troublemaker in the past. Always goofing off, always pulling pranks. Sometimes stealing things. Like bikes, weapons, girls' jeans (don't even ask about that one). But, just because he did that stuff a few years ago, doesn't mean that he needed help, because he did. Badly. Numbah 86 glares at the affair and comes to Nigel.

"Nigel Uno, I TOLD you that Numbah 362 was the conference room, waiting for you! And you're goofing off with..."

Fannie was eyeing at the adopted kid then she says, "You're goofing off with someone who doesn't give a crap about ANYTHING!"

Naruto glares at her. "Says the person who still reminisces on the past!"

"You're a bullcrap lair and manipulator! Nigel needs a role model, not YOU. C'mon, Nigel."

You can't miss her annoying Irish accent, for it was thick. And annoying.

Numbah 86 grabs Nigel's arm and pulls him away. Nigel fought back.

"C'mon, Fannie. It's his birthday."

"It's important, Nigel. C'mon!"

Nigel looks back at Naruto, who was chuckling to himself. Nigel sighs and says, "I'll be back."

"Whatever...", says Naruto, arms crossed.

Nigel sighs again as he leaves with Fannie, who was smirking when they both left. Naruto tossed his chair to a corner and screamed. He hated Fannie. He hated the Moon Base. He hated everyone who turned their backs on him...especially Nigel. He had to do something drastic. Something to make sure that what they did to him was wrong. Though, it will make Nigel hate him...Naruto didn't freakin' care. Not anymore. He pops his head out of the doorway, checking to see if the coast was clear, which it was, and he goes into the auditorium, where the sacred code module was being stored. It was a red circular object which contained the basic information (or boogers) of all of the former KND operatives, many of their secrets held inside of the sacred prize. If anything would have happened to it...all of the secrets it contained would be spilled, the whole KND organization would crumble and everyone-everything-would be destroyed. Naruto grabs it, of course, setting off the alarm system, so he curses and puts the code module into his bookbag and he dashed out of there without being seen. Several officers were running to the auditorium, brushing past Naruto, who looked so innocent, being oblivious to the affair. Naruto was headed to the rocket room, where their escape pods were. As he was going into one of them, he puts on a helmet and rocket suit, but he didn't notice Nigel, who came in saying, "Everyone, the code module-"

Nigel looks at Naruto, who nods to him with a smirk. "Brother? Where are you going? The module's missing."

"I know.", says Naruto.

Rachel, or Numbah 362, comes in when she saw Nigel. "Nigel, hurry! We have to-"

She glares at Naruto. "Ugh. Who let him in here...?"

"Nice to see you, too, Rachel."

It's Numbah 362 to you. And, Nigel, let's go."

"Yes, brother. Go with your little girlfriend."

"Rachel's not my girlfriend! You've met Lizzie. Help us."

"No WAY. Not after you left me."

"Why'd you come here if you don't wanna be here?!"

Naruto, shaking his head, laughs at both him and Rachel as he gets into one of the escape pods. "Oh, and Nigel. You might see me again. Powerful than ever."

He wiggles his bookbag in front of him with a grin as he jumps into the escape pod, pressing buttons to start it. Though, Nigel was trying to stop him, banging on the glass window, Rachel pulls him away as the escape pod blasts into space. Nigel groans into his hands as he saw his brother leaving him, like how Nigel left him a few years ago. As Rachel was too busy cheering up Nigel, Fannie bursts into the room with a scowl upon her face.

"I'm going to kill your brother! Where the hell is he?", asks Fannie in an angry tone of voice, scaring Rachel.

"You don't have to worry about him. He's gone.", says Nigel sadly.

"WHAT?! Well, we have to get him back!"

"Why?", asks Rachel hastily. "You don't even like him!"

"I know I don't! I don't about him! We checked out the surveillance cameras! He stole the code module!"
