The Legend Of Naruto: The Wind Waker. Chapter 1: Happy Birthday, Naruto!
Eight-year-old Konohamaru was looking for his older brother. Naruto.
"Naruto!" he cried as he went off to go and look for his older brother.
"Naruto, where are you?" asked Konohamaru as he found Naruto asleep on his lookout he called, "Konohamaru's Lookout".
"Ramen..." mumbled Naruto as he was dreaming about his favorite food, Ramen Noodles.
"Ah, there you are, Naruto!" cried Konohamaru with his telescope as he finally found Naruto.
"Hmm?" asked Naruto as he got up and stretched.
"Huh. That's strange... I could've sworn I heard Konohamaru's voice." said Naruto to himself as he thought he heard Konohamaru's voice.
"Hee hee, I had a feeling you'd be here, Big Brother!" cried Konohamaru as Naruto turned around to see his little brother behind.
"Konohamaru, what are you doing here? I was dreaming of Ramen until you interrupted my Ramen dream! I'm going back to sleep! Good night!" cried Naruto as he laid back down on the lookout.
"Naruto! Come on! You've got to wake up!" cried Konohamaru as he jumped on Naruto's back.
"All right, Konohamaru. What is it?" asked Naruto in an annoyed tone.
"Hee hee, well? What do you think of my lookout? I call it, "Konohamaru's Lookout". So anyway, do you what day is today?" asked Konohamaru.
"Uh, no... oh wait... let me guess... "Annoy My Big Brother, Naruto Day?"" asked a still half-asleep Naruto.
"No, silly! It's your birthday today!" cried Konohamaru.
"It is?' said a half-asleep Naruto widened his eyes in shock and said:
"Wait, it is? Oh crud! I almost forgot it was my birthday! Thanks, Konohamaru!" cried Naruto.
"Naruto! You idiot! That's what I was trying to tell you! And also, Grandpa's been waiting for you all morning. Oh, and if I were you, I would go see what he wants, don't you think?" asked Konohamaru.
"Fine. But after this, Konohamaru, you're going to regret this in waking me up." said Naruto as he went to his grandfather's house.
"Whatever you say, Naruto... whatever you say." said Konohamaru as Naruto left him alone to go to his grandfather's house.
When Naruto got inside his house, his grandfather, Hiruzen Sarutobi's house, Hiruzen had an orange jumpsuit for Naruto in his hands. Ever since Konohamaru and Naruto's parents died when they were little, Hiruzen had gained legal custody of them to which Naruto and Konohamaru ended up living with their grandfather ever since. Of course, Hiruzen was also the Third Hokage of Konoha.
Naruto then walked up to his grandfather.
"Hi, Grandpa." said Naruto.
"Oh! Hi, Naruto! I've been waiting all morning for you!" cried Hiruzen.
"Uh... yeah... Konohamaru told me." said Naruto.
"Anyways, Naruto... try these on. Ah, it seems time does fly, no? Heh heh, why I'll never forget the day that when you were seven and when Konohamaru was three, that they said that you'd be living with me from now on... ever since... your parents died." said Hiruzen with a smile.
"I know. But... Konohamaru and I were very young. I'm not a kid anymore, but Konohamaru is." said Naruto.
"Yes. But anyway... Naruto... I can't believe that you're already old enough to wear these clothes. Why, if I recall correctly, it was the hero who wore these clothes long ago, did he not?" asked Hiruzen as he gave Naruto his orange jumpsuit.
"Uh... Grandpa... aren't these clothes a little too hot for this kind of weather?" asked a confused Naruto.
"Oh, don't be silly, Naruto! As I said before: these are the same clothes that the hero wore long ago when he was your age. Go on. Try them on." said Hiruzen as Naruto put on his orange jumpsuit.
"Yes... today is a special day to celebrate, Naruto. Why, today is the day that you are the exact same age as the hero from long ago that's been spoken in all the legends. So come on, Naruto, you only have to wear them for one day. But don't look so glum, Naruto. You should be proud of yourself, child." said Hiruzen with a smile.
"Great. Even my own grandfather embarrasses me on my birthday. Now I'm going to be the laughingstock of the entire island. Yeah, thanks, Grandpa. What a way to give me these clothes. I just hope Konoahamaru doesn't laugh at me. And if he does, oh, Grandpa is going to be so sorry for giving me these clothes. Oh come on, Naruto, it's your birthday, you only get to wear them for one day, right? So enjoy your birthday as much as you can!" cried Naruto to himself with a smile.
"In the olden days, Naruto, on a day just like this one, young boys were finally considered to be men just as they would become of age... like you, Naruto." said Hiruzen.
"But, weren't they a little young to be a hero? I mean, come on, isn't holding a sword dangerous for a boy like me?" asked a confused Naruto.
"Why no, silly, only boys that were the same age as you would be able to hold a sword. But, they were also taught the ways of the sword to prepare themselves for battle with their enemies. But sadly, Naruto, we don't live in such a way anymore." said Hiruzen as Naruto groaned in complaint.
"But anyways, if I remember correctly, Iruka knows all about swordplay. But this family shield of ours that you're seeing right behind me, Naruto, is also another tradition of the olden days when young boys would not only carry swords, but they would also carry shields, too. Now, this all does make sense to you, right, Naruto?" asked Hiruzen.
"Uh... yeah... I guess." said an unsure Naruto as he nodded his head.
"Isn't that nice, Naruto? That jumpsuit fits you perfectly! It's just the right size for a boy like you, Naruto! Well, tonight, I'll be making your favorite soup tonight." said Hiruzen.
"Oh! Will I get Ramen too, Grandpa? Will I? Will I?" asked a hopeful Naruto.
"Heh, heh, heh, yes, Naruto, you will definitely get your Ramen. And it's all just for you... and maybe Konohamaru too. Mmmm! I know that you're looking forward to it, Naruto! Now, go get your brother, Konohamaru." said Hiruzen as Naruto left his grandfather's house to go and see Konohamaru.
