Chapter 3: Dreams of Past and Future

Nazu stood in the academy. His sensei was yelling at him about something but for some reason, yet he couldn't hear what he was saying. Then he saw himself, his clothing was all messy. His hair was sloppy and his uniform wasn't fully tucked in. That and he looked starving.

Next he saw himself lying in the woods unconscious. He remembered this moment. Then he noticed something about knee high biting his legs. He couldn't tell what it was but he knew it was a baby judging by the broken egg shell near him.

He saw his sensei again, yelling as he always does. "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT? TAKING CARE BY THE ENEMY MY ASS!" His Sensei shouted. Nazu couldn't talk or do anything. He then felt a sword go through him.

Nazu bolted straight up in bed. Feeling assured by the hospital room. He knew he was somewhere else yet he still felt safe where ever he was.

"Oh, good you're awake." a kid said. He was sitting at the end of the bed waiting for him. "You slept for two days."

The kid had blonde, spiky hair and wore an orange jumpsuit. Nazu wasn't sure if he should be happy or scared, so he showed signs of both. "So are your legs feeling any better?" the blonde said. Nazu flinched in pain and shook his head. "Well, Nazu." Nazu looked shocked because he forgot he had told him his name that night. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki."

Naruto looked like he was going to say something but was interrupted by a loud female voice. "Naruto I need your help!" she said. Naruto got up and left the room.

Nazu felt strange, and then he realized that he was starving. He quickly looked around for something to eat so he didn't pass out. He saw a bowl of ramen on the nightstand next to him. Nazu slurped up the ramen and then he laid back and fell asleep quickly.

Nazu saw the gate. He was running. "Hey! Stop right there!" He heard someone shout from behind. He kept running until he saw a kunai fly passed his legs. He quickly spun around but fell with pain. He noticed his legs weren't recovered yet.

Tears fell down his face as he braced himself for a kunai stab. He felt arms pick him up. He couldn't open his eyes to see who was carrying for he was in too much pain. He felt like for once someone cared about him as if he had…a friend.

Nazu awoke and saw a note on his nightstand. It read:

Hey Nazu, thought I would answer your question from the other night. You're in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. All we know about what happened to you is a fox attacked you while you were passed out. So I hope your legs feel better, Naruto.

Nazu was sure now, that he had a friend.

Hey just wanted to tell you that I will post chapters as I finish them. Believe me I have A LOT planned for this. Stay tuned!
