Chapter 6: Naruto Uzumaki
Summer holidays came to an end and the new students were enrolled today.
"Yuuki wake up or you will be late!"
´Late? Late for what?´
´The entrance ceremony at the academy is today!´
´Damm!´
I fell out of my bed got up from the floor grapping my clothes for today and hurried half asleep into the shower. Being under the shower I thought about the things that happened until today.
After I got my main plan out into rolling I talked to my parents about letting me into the academy. First they said no but after I pulled everything a little brat can do into a weeklong big tantrum they signed me up at the ninja academy.
´It comes in handy to be young again, you can act as a brat and no one can it hold against you because you are a kid´
´Don´t let our hard work to go waste just because we didn´t show up´
In record time I was ready to go.
´Funny how things can change quickly´
Just when I started my tantrum the Hokage pensioned the elders and named Shikaku and Inoich his new advisors.
He also got somehow Danzo out of his position, I will never know how, letting *Ne fuse with ANBU and put Kakashi as their new head and Shisui at his vice.
I also got to eavesdrop on Shikaku, while losing against Shika again, who told his wife that Hizure will place Itachi under the personal wing of Kakashi means as his future successor as Head of ANBU.
The Hokage hold also a grand speech to announce the changes excluding at first his plans for Itachi. In this speech he also told part of the truth mixed with a little lie, all for the well-being of the village, about the Kyuubi attack, that they got intel which proof that the leader, not Pain, of the upcoming criminal organisation Akatsuki was the one who controlled the Kyuubi with his Rinnegan and leaded the attack against our village.
He then goes over the importance of union against such enemy and that the Uchihas are also part of this village also as ready as any other to fight to protect it.
I listened that day knowing that Shikaku made these plans and for sure has enough emergency plans, but one thing I was interest in, how they will handle Orochimaru he said nothing about him.
´Hope they prepared for the Chunin exams´
He established the Uchiha clan slowly back into the community with the first step of stopping the surveillance and burn all the gathered information. A so called second chance for the clan. It wasn't easy there were much mistrust and the haughty attitude from some Uchiha´s didn't help but Fugaku mediates between both sides and slowly they were established. There will be now every year to the anniversary of the Kyuubi attack a festival, which all the clans open their residents and sit together planning it.
But all that is not important, today is the entrance ceremony at the academy I will become a ninja.
´Or at least I will know how to defend myself against some drunkards and such pack´
´Hurry up, we don´t want to be late´
I inhaled my breakfast and snatched my schoolbag.
"Here is your Betno. Darling are you ready?"
"Hai dear" father came from his office downstairs.
Together we walked to the ninja academy like many other parents and children I already looked for my friends.
On the Gate I finally saw Ino waiting for the others.
"Hahaha just go we also want to have a chat with dome friends" Mom winked and the went with father straight at a group of parents.
"Ino!" I called for her.
"Yuu! You could convince them that is SO great" she took my hands and jumped up and down.
"Yuu you made it" Choji greets me suddenly showing up to my right and startling Ino.
"This is so troublesome" said a voice from behind Choji.
"Shika! Cho!" I gave both a hug, Shikas a bit longer that Choji.
"This will be soo great with us all together" Ino was a totally happy jumping up and down again chatting while Choji munched his chips and Shika gave her just an irritated look.
"Yuu?" Ino stopped in her tracks looking first over my shoulder totally surprised and then slowly a blush crawled from her neck to her ears what made me turn to see what made my friend react so.
"And you are?" Asked Shikamaru but I answered for him.
"Sasuke, see I did it! I got also into the academy" I smiled and hugged him briefly.
"Hn" he looked a bit lost with so much people around him and only knowing me.
"Ah this here is Ino, that is Choji and this here is Shikamaru, friends this is Sasuke" I grinned at them.
"Hay Sasuke" Choji was the only one to say a full understandable sentence, Ino was talking gibberish and Shikamaru just nodded.
"Hn" his talkativeness lessens in the presents of other people but hey I talked often with him, Itachi or his parents and could read the difference of the Uchiha speech so I know he meant it like "Hey".
"We can all be friends together, the more the merrier" I laughed and they all looked at bit lost, expect Ino who only had eyes for Sasuke.
"So troublesome" Shika mumbled.
"Ah don´t be so Shika you like it to have friends" he glanced at me then at Sasuke and sighted reaching his hand out to him. Sasuke looked for a moment at it and then took the hand he also shook hands with Choji and Ino, who now "just" had a blush on her cheeks.
"Ah Sasuke you made some friends?" A smooth voice asked.
"Hn" Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and looked away.
"Yuuki-chan?"
"Itachi-k-san"
´You wanted to say kun right?´
´He looks better´
´Not much but you are right the bags under his eyes are smaller and his posture is slightly relaxed´
"That is great that you made it" He smiled and now I not Ino was the one fighting a blush.
While fighting the blush I didn´t saw how Itachi eyes got a strange warm look seeing that I wear his necklace still, oh to be true there were no day when I didn´t wore it, and Shika shooting him a frown.
´Why? Oh why does that happen?´
´You get easily embarrassed when other praises you that's why´
"Ne Itachi were you nervous on your first day?" A question to draw his attention away from my little blush.
Sasuke looked interest in the answer of his brother but showing it only through it that he held his ear more in our direction.
"Hai I was very nervous, but I had the same luck as you to have a friend in my class"
"A friend?"
"Hai"
"Who was it?" Sasuke asked
"You know Izumi?"
"...no"
"Izumi?"
"A girl from our clan"
´No I´m not jealous nope not one bit´
´Better stand to it that you are a bit jealous´
´Hate you some times´
"Oh..."
"Children please come to the stage" called a teacher
"Let us go" I chirped and took Sasukes hand pulling him with me.
The teacher said us where to stand, but in the end one person seems to be missing.
From my point I could see my parents and beside them Fugaku, Mikoto and Itachi and under the other kids I could pinpoint Hinata, Kiba with the adorable little Akamaru and Sakura.
´Hard to miss this hair colour´
´I also think I know who is missing´
´Naruto´
They didn´t wait for him and began the ceremony, when it ended we could say goodbye to our parents and go to class they will pick us up after school.
In the classroom I sat in the last row beside Shika and Choji seeing the other ones taking their places.
´There is Shino´
´Ah nearly missed him´
"I´m late!" With that Naruto busted in last and our teacher scolded him after throwing him a distasteful look.
´All this about the Kyuubi being controlled wouldn´t erase the hate against him´
´Yeah but we will help him no matter what´
"Now everyone is here I want you to introduce yourself to the class, who will begin?"
I was the only one holding my hand up so he nodded to me.
"What should we say about us?"
"Whatever you want"
"Ok...Then my name is Yuuki Hanaka, I will be 6 on the 12 October, I- I really like sweets and my friends and I want to be a Medical Ninja" I sat down again I spoke a bit fast because I was nervous but hoped it was understandable.
"That was good Yuuki-san, who will be next?"
Some other now held their hand also up but Shika was faster.
"Name, Shikamaru Nara, I like shogi and cloud watching, I hate troublesome things."
The next one was shy Hinata who stuttered out of nervousness.
"I-I´m Hi-Hinata H-Hyuga I-I li-like to-to k-knit." She didn´t managed more sadly and sat down fast with a red face.
´She is so cute~ make also friend with her´
´Sure I want to ship her with Naruto can´t do when I´m not friend with them´
´The cutest pairing´
´Yup´
"I´m Shino Aburame, I like bugs" short to the point he may have mumbled more but nobody listened.
"Choji Akimichi –munch- I like food –munch- and my friends –munch- I want to learn –munch- the techniques of my clan –munch-"
´Did anyone understand what he said between eating?´
´Maybe?´
"My name is Kiba Inuzuka and this here is Akamaru I want to be the best ninja in the fire country"
´A determined one like Naruto´
"Sakura Haruno I like flowers and want to become a ninja like my dad"
´She is beside her exotic look not really special yet´
´Tsunade will change that´
´Poor Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi´
"Ino Yamanaka, I like shopping and I will become the most beautiful Konichi of the world"
"Sasuke Uchiha, I want to be on the same level as my brother"
The other kid also stated their names and last was Naruto.
"Naruto Uzumaki, I like ramen and one day I will become Hokage , believe it!"
"And I´m your teacher, Ginta Hoji, I will now give you a list with the material you will need for the classes"
When the bell for lunch rang I packed my bento out and went over to Naruto.
"Nee want to eat with me?" I asked him.
He looked at me strangely trying to gauge my action.
"Yuu you shouldn´t-" Ino began but cut herself when Naruto throws her a dark look.
I still waited for his answer, but he stands up and left the classroom I just followed him.
He stopped at his favourite swing, that one that was bind to a branch of a tree.
"Go away!" He said and turned to run to the gates.
"No! I want to be your friend" that stopped him for a moment in his track. Turning to me he asked
"And you won't turn on me?"
"Why should I?" I let my eyes widen.
"Because they all hate me!"
"I don´t"
"You lie!"
"No I don´t! I really want to be your friend."
"Proof it"
"How?"
"Uhm...Find me after school then I will tell you how"
´He has no plan and need time´
´So we have time to prepare ourselves better for anything´
"But will you eat lunch with me now, you can have even some of it when you like"
"Ok" He said looking forward to free food.
We both sat down and I opened my bento and gave him my chopsticks.
"Here you can have first"
"Really?" He gave me a surprised look.
"Yes" I smiled at him he took my offer and I glanced around seeing my friends at a distance looking worried.
´They will come around´
´They yes but look around´
I scanned the area and saw that other ones gave Naruto and even me a really hateful glare.
"Uhm Thank you..." Naruto gave me my bento after he eat 1/3 of it.
"Yuuki my name is Yuuki" I smiled and began to eat now.
The lunch break was over fast and we all went back into our classroom.
The bell for the end of the day rang.
"Your parents will wait on the school ground, be back tomorrow for the first lesson"
"Hai" we chorused and ran outside to our parents.
Ino, Choji and Shika said shortly good bye to me and Sasuke, who appeared out of nowhere next to me, and went home.
"It is nice to have friends, right?" I asked him.
"Hn" he quickly glanced around and take a few steps nearer to me.
"What is it?"
"Are these kids normal?" He asked and nodded his head in the direction of a group of girls.
´Fangirls *shudder* they aren´t human´
"No, that Sasuke they are Fangirls, be wary of them just ask your brother"
"What should he ask me" questioned a voice directly near my ear.
"Ah!-" I jumped and hold my hands over my heart.
´How!?´
´Ninja´
´Ah right..´
"Itachi!" I whined and pouted at him and he just looked like as he didn´t do anything but I saw the amusement in his eyes.
´The blue specks are more prominent when he is happy´
"She said to ask you about Fangirls"
Itachi looked around fast scanning the whole area ready to fight for his live.
"NEVER let your guard down around them...they are not human" this time he was dead serious.
Sasuke throws the girls that hide behind a corner a horrified look.
´These poor guys, to deal with this from so young on must be really hard and traumatizing´
´hopefully they don´t develop a phobia of woman...that would be just sad´
I saw a bit of yellow hair running past behind Itachi.
´Should we follow him?´
´First ask our parents´
"Sasuke, Itachi!" Mikoto called for them.
"Until tomorrow Yuu"
"See you tomorrow Sasuke"
"Be safe Yuuki-chan" Itachi said and gave me a stern look.
´He really means it, does it means he cares?´
´Seems so´
A light dust of pink decorated my cheeks.
"Y-You, too"
´This is ridiculous´
He gave me a warm smile and followed his brother, talked a bit with him and then gave him a piggy back ride.
´They for sure have a great sibling love, envy Sasuke for having such a nice older sibling´
"Yuuki?"
"Ah yes?"
"How was the first day?"
"Really great, but I want to go to the park to play and draw a bit, can I? I will be back at 6 pm promised" I pleaded.
"Only when you tell us then more about your first day, we will be shopping for your school things"
"Deal, so until dinner" I waved at them after I handed my mother the list from the teacher and ran in the direction of the park until they couldn't see me anymore, then I corrected my direction and began my search for the infamous Ichiraku ramen stand.
I took me some time but when I got a sniff of ramen I followed and found the stand.
I went in and found Naruto sitting there and eating a bowl of ramen.
´You know with this yellow hair, sky blue eyes, the whiskers and that round face he also is absolutely adorable´
´He is Hinata´s´
´Know´
"Found you" I chirped up, Naruto chocked on his ramen for a moment I must have surprised him.
"How did you find me?"
"A girl has it ways" I said mysterious.
"Okay" he drawled and looked sceptical at me.
"So what can I do to gain your friendship"
"Hmmm...make me a bento for the academy until we become Genin!"
´...do we do that?´
´Yes we will...think of it he has no parents´
"Why? Do you have no parents to do that?"
He went silent and looked away.
"No"
"Then I will do it" I gave him a warm smile.
"Really?" His head snapped around to me and he looked so hopeful.
"Yes"
"YAY!" He throws his hands in the air.
´He has faster mood swings than us woman's`
´When it comes to food he and Choji are similar, both of them cheers up at the mention of free food´
"Want some ramen?"
"No I´m sated but do you want to play after you are finished?"
"Play?" He looked like the idea were completely foreign for him.
´It even could be, no one really go near him´
"Hai"
"And what?"
"Tag in the park?"
"Sounds fine with me"
He finished his bowl and we went on our way to the park.
3rd POV
"And you are sure it is her?"
"100%"
"She is just a child"
"I am sure"
"I must report that back I didn´t expect that, this will change a lot"
3rd POV end
In the park we played tag, hide and seek, see who can swing the highest and sandcastle building and collapsed then on the grass.
"My best friend Shika really likes to cloud watch...you know my friends are also your friends"
"Will they be nice?"
"They will, ah I have an Idea" I rummaged in my bag for my sketchbook and my pencils.
"Just sit like that for a moment" I began drawing him, at his age now with the Hokage robes.
"Nee what do you draw?"
"Don´t look it is a surprise"
"Ok" he sat back and watched me drawing.
"Done!" I held my work up and looked a last time over it.
"Let me see, let me see"
"Here" I gave him the picture and waited for his reaction.
Naruto eyes filled with tears that quickly over spilled. I didn´t just draw him I also draw some random other people and myself, behind him or at his side.
"I believe in you dream Naruto I think you can do it and you will have a lot of friends and people who will respect you"
"You really do?"
"Yes I do"
"Thank you" he gave me a bear hug and cried more.
"I will cherish this" He carefully folds the drawing and put it into his pocket.
"It is late I must go home, but we will see us tomorrow and I will bring you a bento"
"Thank you Yuuki-chan!" He says and watch me go.
At home I told my parents on the dinner table how my day was and even that I befriended Naruto. I asked my mother If she could also make a bento for Naruto, she said yes but only when I stand up more earlier to help her.
´We really aren´t a morning person´
´Don´t be like that it is for my and Naruto´s lunch´
Slowly I began my morning rituals and went down in the kitchen to help my mother.
"You sure want to do that for that kid"
"His name is Naruto and yes I want"
"Alright Yuuki-chan"
She showed me how to cut the carrots in this blossom shape and how to cook the rice.
´Cooking always starts with the basics´
´Jup but I really like to cook´
When the bentos were finished I eat breakfast and then packed my schoolbag and went on my way to the academy.
"Your dad will pick you up!" Mom called from the door after me but just waved behind me as a signal that hear her.
At the entrance Choji, Ino and Shika already waited for me.
"Is Sasuke already here?"
"No should we wait for him?"
"No need" Sasuke said from behind me I swirled around smiling at him.
"Good morning Sasuke"
"Hn"
"So let´s go or we will be late"
In the first break I went to Naruto again.
"I have you lunch" I pulled from my bag an orange and blue bento only to give him the orange one.
"Should we eat outside?" Asking him He only looked really surprised.
"You really did made lunch for me?" He gave me a disbelieving look.
"Sure, as I said yesterday I want to be your friend and also I care for you, with no parents and only instant ramen to eat, that isn´t healthy so you could use a healthy meal." I grinned at him and slowly this startling bright smile appeared on his face.
"Come" He pulled me with him up on the roof of the school.
"Wow the view is great"
"Hehe"
"Go away monster!" A boy from our class jelled destroying the good mood.
"This is our place, hush hush" a girl beside him said.
Naruto´s smile disappeared and he looked down to the floor with a hollow expression.
"We can go where ever we want" I said standing before Naruto.
"Eh you defend this monster?"
"Monsterlover, monsterlover" the others chorused.
"I don´t see any monster"
"There right behind you"
I looked at Naruto who hang his head lower.
"I don´t see one just Naruto my friend" Naruto looked up to me with wide eyes.
"He is just a boy like you!" I shouted at them.
"No! He is a monster and you are a filthy witch"
´Kids can be really cruel´
´I will show him witch´
I fisted my hands and going up to the boy to hit him but Naruto put his hand on my arm and shake his head.
"It is alright let´s eat elsewhere" he proposed.
"Yeah go away!"
I threw this god dam boy a death glare over my shoulder with a promise of a lots of pain so he went and shut his trap.
Naruto pulls me to a ladder and went down on a little other roof.
"You mustn´t stand up for me...the villagers don´t like me"
"But I´m your friend, friends stand up for another" I grinned.
"But enough of that try your bento. Mom and me did them together hope you like it." I changed the topic for him.
"Ok! Itadakimasu!" He digs into the bento.
"Yummy"
´This speed...it is unmatched even by Choji´
"Yuu~"
I looked up and saw my other friends even Sasuke, at that I raised my brow at him and he mimicked me. (To translate "You here on your own will with others?" His answer: "Something against that?")
"Want to eat with us?" They hesitated at that.
"Mom said-" began Choji.
"Naruto is a really nice friend come and meet him" Shikamaru was the first on to come down the ladder.
"Shikamaru" he introduced himself, Naruto put his bento slowly down and take his hand.
"Naruto" he looked a bit sceptical.
"Shika, mother said we shouldn´t speak with him he isn´t good"
"Ino grow up and come down, make your own opinion on him" Shika grumbled up to her and sat down next to me and began to eat.
After that they came on after another down and reached their hands out and greeted Naruto even Ino, who bought Sakura, Hinata, who nearly fainted seeing Naruto, Kiba and Shino with her.
´How did she-?´
´Chain reaction´
´?´
´Ino invited Sakura who suggested to take Hinata along shy girls holding together, then Choji and Shika tagged along making a bigger group which Sasuke followed attracting Kiba who grabbed his bank neighbour Shino and bought him also along´
And there we sat in a circle Choji and Naruto beginning to discuss what is better ramen or BBQ, Shino holding monologues about bugs, Kiba feeding Akamaru and entered Naruto and Choji´s discussion. Sakura, Ino and Hinata were talking about flowers, Sasuke eating in silence on my right and Shika laid back on my left watching the clouds.
´The Konoha Nine gathered...it feels nice to be a part of this´
"Great to have friends"
"Hn" (Translates to "You think?")
"They are troublesome"
"You will see one day that it will be a benefit to have a lots of friends"
Both were silent and I just closed my eyes holding my face up to the sun.
´So warm´
With closed eyes I didn´t see the looks I got from the two boys.
"I´m stronger than that duckbutt head, believe it!"
Sasuke looked over to Naruto.
"You are not" He answered
"Yes I´m, I will show you"
´Ah their rivalry is born´
Before both could begin their fight the bell rung and we packed up going back to class.
