Hero?

by Sakura no Umi

Hero was a subjective term. Some people where labeled heroes yet they felt they weren't, while others were never considered a hero no matter how much they seemed like one.

2. Uzumaki Naruto

Hero?

Uzumaki Naruto was not a hero if you asked the people of Konhagakure. He was that demon child that no one loved. He was a nuisance playing pranks, and could kill them all at any moment. They had pleaded with the Sandaime and later the Godaime to kill the child least he destroy all of Konohagakure. The villagers could not understand how some of the youth saw the demon child as a friend and maybe even a hero.

Uzumaki Naruto was a hero according to Namikaze Minato. He for fifteen years had kept the demon at bay. He had saved many people, many from the darkness the boy knew to well from his own childhood. Others he saved from shinobi and corrupted people. Namikaze Minato was proud of the boy and felt, no knew, that he was a hero.

Uzumaki Naruto didn't think of himself as a hero. He told himself heroes were people like the Hokages. People who had risked their lives to save the people and village they loved. He had risked his life to save his important people, but he still didn't fell like a hero quite yet. Maybe when he was Hokage he would finally feel like a hero.
