The Life of a Young Shinobi

Kaasan giggled and stood up. "It's almost ready. Why don't you go wash up?" she suggests. I nod and run to take a shower.

After getting into fresh clothes I head down the hall. I am so relieved to be home. After we have dinner, I watch my brothers and sisters play. Kaasan is busy washing the dishes. My youngest brother comes crawling to me.

"Hey, Susoko," I say picking him up.

He gurgles.

I shake my head and set him back down. He grabs onto my knees and starts wobbling to stand up. I blink. What's he trying to pull? He stands and wobbles away. I half-smile.

"Kaasan, look," I say and Kaasan turns her gaze towards us and gasps at the sight of her youngest walking. She runs over to the small boy and kneels a few yards in front of him.

"Come here, Susoko," she says.

My Otouto stumbles over to our mother.

Kaasan hugs him tight. "You did it, Susoko. You can walk! I so have to go write this in your baby book!" Kaasan exclaims getting up and running into her room with Susoko still in her arms. I shake my head. Kaasan can be so childish sometimes.

Then my mind drifts to what happened a few days ago. Who are those people? How do they know my parents? This is when I decide to head back to this Konoha village.

The next day I tell my mother I have another mission and after some persuasion she believes me, with a sad look on her face. And so, I head out. I am not sure of the exact location of the village since I was unconscious when I was taken there. After three days of venturing, I run into a village. It looks like the one so I go inside of it. The first thing I run into is the playground. I personally don't like playing on swings and such but it wasn't that that catches my eye. It is the children there. They are the ones that I had seen before, including the loud one. I walk up to them. They are in a circle and it appears they are playing the game called 'duck, duck, goose.' Spotting me, the loud blonde stands up and points at me.

"You're the boy from before," he exclaims.

"And what if I am?" I reply back.

The girl stands up. "Why did you run off before?" she asks.

"None of your business," I snap.

The one with white eyes then stands. "You know what, you aren't very nice," he states.

"And I'd care why?" I question. This was a mistake to talk to these children, they aren't probably even six yet.

"My dad says you look just like his old teammate," the blonde boy states.

"Why should I care what your dad thinks?" I ask.

He crosses his arms. "For your information, my dad is the Hokage, you should respect him and me too. For I'm going to be the seventh Hokage," the boy states.

"Hino, keep dreaming," the girl says.

"It's true Hika," Hino then says.

"Both of you shut up," the other boy demands.

"You shut up, Teji!" screams both of the other kids.

"Urusei!" I command, hearing enough of their bickering.

"You can't boss me around," Hino says.

"Kids, what's going on here?"

I freeze and face a woman I had seen before. She's the blonde woman from before.

"Mama, this boy is bothering us," Hika states pointing at me.

The woman looks at me. "You!" she exclaims.

"Hn?" I question. Why is this woman screaming?

The woman's face turns pale. And then she looks at her daughter and nods her head, as if she is signaling for something. I find out what when Hika does hand seals and says, "Kage Shibari no Jutsu."

"Kuso," I curse when I am frozen yet again.

This was definitely the worst mistake I have ever made. Again, someone hits my vital point and again darkness welcomes me.

When I wake up this time, I find that I am tied to a chair with Chakra controlled chains. The room in which I am confined is black and the only light is a circle around me.

"So, who are you kid," a voice asks.

The blonde man appears in front of my face.

The lights snap on and the pony-tailed man comes into view. "Naruto, stop acting so childish," he states in a bored tone.

More people walk in, all of the same ones from my last visit.

"Let's get this over with," says the man with white eyes, Teji standing beside him.

"So, what are you going to do with me?" I ask, not the least bit scared.

The obnoxious man looks at me. "What is your name?" he repeats.

"None of your business," I reply.

This time it's the man with the covered eye that says, "Just answer the question."

"I'm not answering," I tell him.

"Just answer the damned question!" says the brunette woman.

"I don't have to tell you anything," I respond.

"What is Sound trying to pull? They haven't even thought of attacking Konoha since Orochimaru died," the blonde man states. What had they called him? Naruto?

My ears perk up. Did he just say Orochimaru? Wasn't that this so-called 'master'? He is dead?

"You let go of my niisan, you big meanys," comes a voice that jumps onto Naruto's back. Wait, I know that voice!

Ooo, so who has come to Seiko's rescue I wonder! Find out next time!
