"This is the worst day ever!"

Uzumaki Naruto had had a bad day. Today was the 10th of October and it was young Naruto's fifth birthday, the best day of his life and yet at the same time the worst day of his life. Well, that's what it had been all the years before. This time it was officially the worst day in his entire five year old life, and that was saying something!

At the start of the day the blond haired, blue eyed five year old had been extremely excited, Hokage-Jiji had said that he had a present for Naruto and that he would spend the day with the blond haired boy.

But that excitement went down to an almost nonexistent level when Hokage-Jiji had said that he had something important to do and that he couldn't spend the day with the blond.

Of course the Hokage had said sorry but it had hurt Naruto all the same. The boy hadn't even felt like opening the present the leader of the village had given him, it wouldn't have been the same without the old man there...

Naruto had gone back to bed and hadn't gotten out until around 3 in the afternoon. He had needed to go to the toilet and when he had gotten back another present had been left on his small table, Naruto knew that it had been Inu, a ninja that he would see with the Hokage sometimes.

Inu had been the only other person besides the Hokage and the people at the nice ramen shop that actually seemed to care about the boy... Even if he didn't interact with the boy directly.

Well, if Naruto's day had been crappy at that time then it could only get better, right? Wrong. He didn't have any money to go get some ramen from the ramen stand and he was only due to get his monthly allowance next week. So he had to go with 'Instant' Ramen...

And so, with the sun setting in the distance, Uzumaki Naruto was sitting at his apartments small table with a cup of instant ramen in front of him. The blond haired boy sighed, this day had most definitely been the worst of his life and nothing was going to make it better.

Why was it like this? When other people have birthdays they throw parties and have fun, their families and friends would have fun as well and everyone would have a good time, that's what Naruto had seen from a distance.

So why was it so different for him? Why did all the villagers hate him? Did he have some kind of deadly disease? Had his parents done something really bad and he was hate because of it?

Sometimes Naruto had even thought that having a demon sealed in him was a possibility or that he was actually a demon in human form but he had always got rid of those ideas, Jiji would tell him about something like that, wouldn't he?

Naruto sighed and went to eat some of his instant ramen but then he saw something appear in front of him. It was a teenage girl with dark brown hair and blue eyes, but there was one thing that stood out to the blond five year old boy. He could see through the girl! Then he remembered one of the times the Hokage had told him a story about the spirits of people coming back to the living world to haunt someone or something.

The only thing Naruto could do was shout

"AHHHHHHHH! A GHOST!" Naruto was freaked out but he stopped shouting when the ghost somehow put a hand over his mouth and made a 'shhhhhh' sound to get him to be quite.

Katara was confused, she could have guessed that this was the boy she had been requested to teach but, she hadn't expected to be able to touch the blond haired boy in front of her. When Shin had said that only her spirit could go to this world she had thought that she would be more like a ghost and less like one of the spirits in her own world but now she was having second thoughts on that.

If she could touch Naruto then what else could she do? Could she still waterbend? Could she go through walls like some spirits could? Could anyone other then the boy see her? Could she come into physical contact with anyone other then the blond haired boy? There was a feeling in the back of her mind, like her instincts were telling her the answers to her questions.

Still Waterbend? Yes. Go through walls? Yes. Could anyone else see her? No. Could she come into physical contact with anyone but the boy? If she willed herself to do it.

Ah, so she was more like the spirits from her world then a ghost... But how did she know what she could and couldn't do? She had a gut feeling that Shin had somehow implanted those little bits of information into her for some reason... But what was it?

Katara looked into the boys eyes and her own eyes widened. Before when he had shouted he had seemed startled but right now he seemed to emit an aura of pure excitement. Who would be excited to see a ghost randomly appear out of nowhere...?

There was a couple of minutes of awkward silence with them both staying in the same position. Naruto sitting in a chair with a transparent hand covering his mouth and Katara leaning over the table to keep her hand over his mouth. After realising that she was preventing the blond five year old from speaking she took her hand away from him and said in a nervous voice

"Ummmm, Hi?"

Was he going to be scared of her? Was he going to scream again?

Apparently, neither...

"Hi! Your a ghost right? That's sooooo cool! But why are you here ghost lady? Could you not rest in peace of something? Or... Don't tell me that you can't rest in peace because I did something to you! I knew it, I really am a monster..." Katara's eyes widened, at first the boy seemed really excited and hyperactive but then he had started to sound depressed, really depressed.

The waterbending master needed to get him to cheer up, but how? She spotted the cup of instant ramen and smiled. Ok, she could do this.

"Hey calm down! I'm not hear because I couldn't rest in peace, I'm not really a ghost either! I'll show you something cool."

That got Naruto's attention, she wasn't hear because she couldn't rest in peace? Then why?

Naruto's eyes widened a considerable amount as the ghost lady made some strange movements with her hands and the water from his ramen cup came out of the cup and started to follow her movements, like she was controlling the water freely, even those awesome ninja Jiji had told him about couldn't do that!

As Naruto watched the ghost lady control the water he took note of every movement, it was like an elegant dance, swift and calm, all in all it was awesome! Was it some kind of special technique that only ghosts knew?

After a little while the ghost lady made the water go back into the ramen cup and Naruto was beyond amazed. That was so cool!

The ghost lady spoke.

"I came from another world because I had been informed about your 'living situation' and I wanted to be there for you, I want to be your friend and I also want to teach you waterbending, the ability to control water."

Naruto was shocked, someone had wanted to be his friend and teach him something? Even Jiji didn't have the time to teach him anything and this ghost lady was offering to teach him that awesome water technique!

Naruto ran up, hugged the ghost lady and strangely enough didn't go through her. He then spoke in a genuinely happy tone.

"Thank you ghost lady!"

'I take back what I had said before, this is the best day ever!'

Finished! Ok now I am going to make this clear! I HATE WRITING LONG CHAPTERS! They frustrate me for some strange reason... And plus, I write on my phone so there is no way I can tell how many words are in each chapter until I put it on Fanfiction...

Thank you to all who followed, favourited and reviewed!

Pairing: Who Knows, maybe NaruHina...

I was thinking that in this Naruto could have one more ability other then just waterbending and so... I was thinking maybe Fuuinjutsu but if anyone has any suggestions on the matter... Oh and by the way, Naruto will not be Godlike! I just think that he should have something other then just bending water... Like he should have something in Shinobi Arts.

Advice and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
