Chapter 2: A History of Failing
Naruto... was sleeping. In the middle of the day. Why? No clue, but the point was, he was sleeping. Naruto had a habit of being late, being lazy, being athletic, and being hot, all at the same time! He was also an extreme practical joker, like EXTREME! But anyway, back to Naruto, as of right now.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Naruto jumped out of the bed, looked at the clock, and screamed, "Why did I hit the sleep button!" The time read 4:48, and Naruto was late, like usual. And this time, he was late... for his own graduation.
"Shit!" Naruto screamed, jumping out of bed. He was already in his black graduation robe, and he had planned on just taking a short nap before graduation, but, as usual, he slept for too long, and now, he was late, again.
He ran outside, clutching his hat, jumped into his white convertible and sped as fast as he could to his college graduation. Even as it was, he was thirty minutes late, graduation began at 4:30.
Naruto slid down the row, silently, but in full view, and sat down in between his two friends, Shikamaru and Kiba. Shikamaru, as usual, was slouching in his seat and staring up at the ceiling. Kiba, meanwhile, was sitting on his chair in the fetal position, with his hands clasped in prayer, whispering a silent plea. Naruto turned to Shikamaru, "What's wrong with him?" he asked, pointing to Kiba.
Shikamaru sighed, "The Principal gave the news that one kid in this class failed, and Kiba's afraid it was him."
Naruto started laughing, just to hear the Principal tap the microphone. "Attention, please. I am very sorry to announce that one person in this class has failed, and that is..." Kiba started to whisper faster. "Naruto Uzumaki!"
Shikamaru laughed, and Kiba pounded Naruto on the back, "Great Job, man. Real nice!"
"Son, I want to say that I am very proud of you," Minato Uzumaki was talking to his only child, Naruto. "You have carried on the Uzumaki family tradition of... failing. As you know, the first person to fail was your great-great grandfather. Your great grandfather, grandfather, and I succeeded in failing in Japan, too. But you, you are really great. You managed to come to the US and fail too!"
Naruto was just slightly confused. Since when was failing a good thing? But Minato continued on, "Son, failing hasn't stopped us Uzumaki's from succeeding. Take me, for example. I came here, and voila! I'm a billionaire! And son, I want you to start working in our company today!"
Even through all of the weirdness, Naruto thought this was a good time to work the situation to his advantage. "Father, before I start with boring office life, I want to get a chance to see the world. I want to travel to England and go on a tour. And after that, office work it is!"
"Son," said Minato, "I need you and your failing genius here!"
"Oh," said Naruto, "I'm sorry, Father. I was thinking about myself when you're growing old. You need my help..."
"No!" chastised Minato, "No, son. Go out in the world and enjoy yourself! You deserve it. And I'm not getting old!"
"Thanks Dad!" Naruto ran out of the room, smirking.
Works like a charm. Throw that 'old' thing out there, and Dad gives in to anything!
Haha... hope you liked it! R&R! :)
