N: don't own naruto.
Okay im not sure if I said this but the plotline will not be the same and some of the characters are going to act ooc. Read and review
Shou picked up the registerand went down the list of potential leaf shinonbi.
When he got to naruto's name shou said it like there was dirt in his mouth; he literally spat it out. Some people picked this up in the classroom suck as shikamaru, hinata and sasuke the other potential shinobi where to busy discussing their future hopes and dreams.
Shou turned to the board and started writing on it the curriculum for the year. So far naruto wasn't impressed because he wasn't going to learn anything ninja related until the last year of the academy and the children of ninja clans less so apart from shikamaru.
break
after school ended naruto and hinata walked out of the front door.
"Man glad that's over huh hinata", naruto said.
"Yes naruto me to." Hinata said shyly while looking at naruto from the corner of her eye.
"Say hinata do you want to see something?" naruto said turning away from the sky looking at hinata.
"Yes naruto." Hinata replied.
"okay follow me".
As naruto walked to their destination taking hinata's hand. As naruto took her hand all that she could think was ' naruto is holding my hand'. Her face turning red, head down so naruto wouldn't see her face, following him to his destination.
As they walked the sun was setting, dipping below the horizon turning the flushes plump clouds a pinkish colour.
The two walked up some steps overlooking the village. Naruto lead hinata to the hokage mountain they walked over to the fourths head, naruto didn't know why but he always came here when he was lonely or upset the fourth always seemed to calm him. Naruto and Hinata sat down feet dangling over the cliff.
"isn't is beautiful, the sun setting over the village?." Naruto said to Hinata in a rare insight to his philosophical side.
"Yes, yes it is naruto." Hinata replied to naruto. Her breath taken away by the land scape, "my mother is expecting a baby." She didn't know why she told naruto this but it felt like.
"that's nice that you going to have another sibling", naruto replayed but there was an ache in his chest.
The two of them just sat there looking at the setting sun hand in hand shoulder to shoulder, just watching the sun set.
Not too far off into the bushes an ANBU and a chuunin sat watching the two of them.
It was getting late and Hinata unlike naruto had parents that would get worried that she wasn't home on time.
"I have to go now naruto", hinata said standing up and walking away.
"bye Hinata."
"bye naruto"
Naruto watched hinata's retreating form; he felt lonely. The chuunin followed Hinata making sure that she got home. The ANBU still sat there watching naruto, he was wondering wither to talk to the boy or not. with The decision made the ANBU appeared next to in a shunshin, he placed his hands on naruto's shoulder. Naruto looked up at the ANBU with the weasel faced masked.
The ANBU said "nice view isn't it naruto, why do you want to be a ninja." The ANBU asked naruto. Naruto didn't know what to make of this person. The ANBu sat down next to naruto
"Ermmm…ermm I don't know… maybe cause old man hokage is a ninja."
"Do you know the Hokage is naruto?" the weasel faced ANBU asked.
"No… do you."
"Yes."
"Are you going to tell me?" naruto asked this mysterious shinobi.
"maybe." The ANBU said before he disappeared via a shunshin; his shift was over.
Naruto looked at the spot the ANBU was thinking to himself about the questioned the mysterious ANBU asked. Shrugging his shoulders he sat up and took one last look at the village and setting sun before he walked home; he was getting tired after all. The ANBU that replaced weasel followed him.
Break
The ANBU appeared in the hokages office.
"Weasel how did it go?"
"Just as you planned hokage-sama."
"You are dismissed."
The hokage sat at his desk finishing off the last pieces of paper work, he had a smirk on his face while doing it; the first time in years.
Break
The ANBU appeared in his room via a shunshin, the room was immaculate. His bed was under his window neatly made, his sandals neatly arranged at the foot of his book. He turned to his cupboard that was next to his work space; he took off his masked and placed it in the cupboard just as the doors burst open.
"ITACHI." Sasuke literally screamed happily at his older brother.
"how was your day little brother."
"it was okay, but the teacher was being mean to this boy."
"oh and what do you think about him?"
"Erm he seems okay"
"sasuke I'm going to tell you something very important, you have to decide on your own don't let anyone make decisions for you spend some time with him and see if you like him." Itachi said to his little brother while sitting on his bed.
"itachi coming lets go you promised to teach me a jutsu." Sasuke said pulling itachi's hand , with a big smile on his face.
"maybe some other time sasuke." Itachi said while poking sasuke's head with his two fingures. Itachi shunshin'ed , leaving his brother.
Itachi appeared in hi fathers study; he hasn't been in here in a long time looking around to re-familiarize himself with the study. It hasn't changed much of the years the big oak desk which screamed authority and arrogance still stood there with papers pilled on. Behind it was a shelf with scrolls in it and the occasional book. On the wall to his left was a cabinet which contained decorative weapons, which would even stand a single strike, the window stood slighty opened the evening sun casting a shadow offer itachi stepping into the light he addressed his father , " hello father", itachi said in a monotone voice, just like a proper uchiha should.
"itachi how are you my son."
"I'm well faher."
Itachi's father looked at him with pride, itachi was the most uchiha of uchiha's there was he was the pride of the clan. Itachi's father was so proud of his son; just like Ben Johnson and his son, let just hope this story won't end in tragedy like Ben Johnson and his son.
Break.
Jumping through the trees close to the boarder of konoha were a coulpe of figure from kumo with one goal in mind. They came to a clearing a mile or so from the boarder of konoha, making camp the head ninja, souta, beckoned the others over.
"does everyone know what you are supposed to do?" he asked.
"hai" all three shadows said.
"Let's go over the plan one more time before we reached konoha," souta was a very meticulous man he didn't leave anything to chance some might even say he was a perfectionist, that's why the raikage sent him for the mission for he had a 90% success rate for all his missions. Souta pulled out a scrolled and laid it in front of the other three shinobi. They discussed the plan like they did so many times before it was like a clock work, once finished souta burned the scrolled with the fire already provided for making their food. It wasn't a stealth mission and they weren't in hostile territory so there was nothing to fear from the fire.
Break
Naruto woke up the next day completely refreshed, he always felt better when he talked to hinata he didn't know why but he just went with it like with everything else in his live, he found out a long time ago riding the wave is the pest course of action for him going against the current can have so undesirable consequences. He went through his usual routine in the morning before he stead out into the world; and locking his door with the sadness in it. Naruto walked with a confident strut down the road his head held him, for he was UZUMAKI NARUTO the greatest prankster to walk the streets of konoha the people should be bowing as he walked be, these were the thought running through his head as he headed to school. This kind of confidence one can only be achieve by telling yourself you are great, lord knows naruto had to do a bit of that over the years. When naruto reached the cross roads junction he turned left towards the school just up ahead he saw one of the kids from his class, a boy with a fan on his back, naruto quickly ran up to him trying his luck maybe he could make a friend to-day.
"Hey wait up!" naruto called to the boy, the boy turned wanting to see whom called him out he spotted naruto, the black sheep of the class so to speak. Remembering itachi's words he waited for him if it was anyone else he properly would have continued to walk on.
"Hello there" sasuke said trying to be friendly with the jinchuuriki.
"do you want to walk to school?" naruto asked earnestly really hoping for a yes.
" we are headed in the same direction I see no problem with it." Sasuke said evenly.
"I'm naruto by the way, whats your name."
"sasuke".
The two continued to walked down the stony path to school in comfortable silence. When they reached the school gates it was just about to close they made it in the nick of time. Walking down the halls they came to their classroom naruto entered the class with a confident gait, when he spotted his friend Hinata he smiled like the sun lighting up the room putting might gia to shame. He flashed her a quick grin, turning her red, he sat next to her and said
"sup."
"sup?" hinata replayed confused.
"you know how are you?"
"I'm okay naruto-kun how are you?"
"I'm great now that I'm with you." Naruto said unknowingly flirting with her.
Shou walked in and surveyed the classroom. When he spotted the demon his mood turned sour. Everyday shou prayed for naruto to die a horrible painful death with lots of objects protruding from his battered broken body.
"For today's lesson we going to be learning the first steps to the academy's tai-jutsu style."
For some of the students it was a nightmare namely shikamaru, ino and sakura, for others it was a drag this group being the clan chidren, however for naruto it was like a dream come true for him, he was finally on his way to becoming a ninja. The children obediently followed their teacher out into the training field for their basic training. The teacher shou paired the children off and told them to spar with each other leaving naruto of the group.
Turning to naruto he said follow me, naruto couldn't wait to get started thinking he was going to get some special kind of training; in a sense he was.
Shou looked at naruto and said " get into a stance " completely forgetting naruto had no earlier tai-jutsu training, he did the best he could and tried mimicking what the other students did. The first punch came to fast for naruto to follow it slammed right into his stomach literally forcing the window out of his lungs, and the beat down continued for several minutes. Naruto tried to dodge but he was just an academy student how was he supposed to against a chuunin, thanks to the annual beats he got on his birthday this was okay, when shou let off enough steam he left naruto where he was and walked away. Naruto limped over to the wall and rested.
Hinata saw all of this and quickly made her way to narutos side. Kneeling beside him she brushed some of the dirt from his face. When Hinata's hand came in contact with naruto it made the pain disappear from that area it was like a relieve, Hinata sat there with him not knowing what it do it broke her heart to see him like this. Off in the shadows sasuke stood there staring at the interaction between the two.
"go to class Hinata I'm okay" naruto muttered to hinata.
"no I will stay with you."
"Hinata please for me go to class."
Hinata really didn't want to leave naruto but he insisted so she squeezed his hand one last time before she left turning around she asked him
"Do you want to go somewhere with me after school?"
"I would like that."
She left and so did sasuke.
Naruto sat there thinking about his miserable life and the only ray of sunshine in it.
