Ch. 2 The Boy That Never Smiles

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

A 12 year old boy wearing an orange sweatshirt and pants slowly walked toward the academy after his routinely early morning training. He hated the color orange but couldn't afford to buy anything else with the little money the hokage gave him. His name was Uzumaki Naruto.

The blond ignored the cold hateful stares of the adults as he neared the academy and made his way to his class. When he entered the classroom he took a seat next to a timid, midnight blue haired girl and closed his eyes to think. He didn't know much about her only that her name was Hinata, she was quiet, wasn't part of the sasuke fan club, and had never done anything wrong to him. Because of this she had earn a spot on his 'not to kill list'which only included Iruka, The 3rd Hokage and her.

A few minutes later Iruka entered the class room and said " Okay everyone we're going to review the Henge jutsu." "First up, Sasuke Uchiha." The raven haired boy slowly made his way up to the front of the class ignoring the squealing fan girls and transformed into Iruka. "Very good. Next, Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto walked to the front of the class, transformed perfectly into Iruka and walked back to his seat. "Nice job, Next Sakura Haruno."

This was no surprise to anyone since Naruto was the 2nd best student in the class and also the most feared. He would be number one if he actually tried but found the academy a waste of his time. Why the blue-eyed boy was the most feared was because what he did to a boy 2 years ago.

It was the second week of school and they were having one on one sparring matches. Some cocky brown haired kid thought Naruto was just a joke and continuously made fun of his whisker scars. Sadly for the boy he had to spar with Naruto and as soon as the match began he was dangling in the air with Naruto clutching his throat, but that wasn't what caused the most fear, it was his eyes. Those cold hard eyes were full of hatred and an enormous amount of killing intent. It felt like he was being rip limb by limb, and all he wanted to do was die. Then Naruto said in a cold monotone voice " Not so tough now are we?" and dropped him.

Everyone watched in shock as the boy was on the ground trembling his eyes wide open. They were pale and it looked like he'd just witnessed thousands of people dieing. The next day the brown haired boy did not return. Iruka told the class he was at home sick but everyone knew he was actually at the mental hospital and didn't return until a week later. He was no longer loud or obnoxious instead he was always nervous and trembling taking quick glances at Naruto every once and a while. After that no one even got near Naruto.

Naruto had earn the title as the coldest most feared and probably the strongest person in the academy. He didnt have a single friend but that didn't matter to him, it was better that way. Friends would only hold him back and slow down his revenge, but the thing that got most people was that he never smiled.
