There in a forest stood a young boy about the age of 5-6 with hair that was salmon and really messy aiming in every direction, he was crying really loud but it seemed no one had heard him. Until a man floating in the air seemed stange. The man was tall and gray skinned and has deep wrinkles in his elderly had spiky, shoulder length gray hair with a chin length braid hanging in front of his left ear. He also had a goatee which was shorter when he was younger but now that he had gotten older it has grown quite a bit which had grown all the way down to his waist now that he had aged that much He had a pair of horn like protrutions extending from either side of his forehead. This man's name was Hagoromo Otsutsuki, he was heading in the direction of the crying when he finally found the young infant who was crying. The moment Hagoromo finally stopped the child stopped crying and looked at the man, at first Hagoromo thought that the child was scared of his appearance like most people were. But that was not it at all, the child was looking at the man in awe and amazement, this shocked Hagoromo completely.
"Child what are you doing crying in the middle of the forest?" Asked Hagoromo nicely to not scare the child to death
"I-I ran a-away f-from where I used to live because everybody hates even though I didn't do anything wrong." The kid said between sobs while holding his hand to his face to cover up his tears
"What about your parents child they should be worried that you left them"
"I don't have any parents people always tell me that they abandoned me because I'm a freak"
'This child has it rough, to imagine that he has been putting up to this all his life' Hagoromo deduced that the child must have been through this his whole life
" Child may I ask what is your name?"
"My name is Natsu, just Nastu, I don't have a last name since I don't know my parents" said Natsu
"Well then Natsu why not come with me to become strong to pay them back in the future?" Hagoromo asked to see if the child had any hatred inside of him if he is blined by hate.
"N-N-No why would you ask that? Yes I may not like them but it doesn't mean I'm gonna go kill them, killing is wrong! Natsu yelled at the last part because he really did not want to kill them or anybody in fact.
'Then what do you want to do Natsu?'
"I want to get strong so in the future I will protect the ones I love and be strong to save my friends!' Natsu said this with pure confidence and with a determined face
'But I'm not sure how I am going to do that since I have no talent whatsoever in combat or to defend my self." said Natsu looking shy and turned his head to not look at the elderly man. 'I was only kidding about the part on taking revenge, I said to merely see if you were blinded by hatred. I'm serious about training you Natsu, you seem that you really want to protect your loved ones, is that really all you desire?' Hagoromo asked to see if that was all that he wanted.
"Yes that is all I want I don't care about anything I only wish to protect my friends I don't care if I have to go against the entire world if it's to protect my friends!" said Natsu with his confident face once again."Wait I'm sorry sir I never asked you what your name is since I was saying dumb things." Said Natsu in a apologetic tone and looking at Hagoromo
"No it's alright Natsu I enjoyed hearing you wanting to protect the people you will care about, so let's go then kiddo if you want to become strong" Said Hagoromo will smiling lightly at Natsu
"Wait you mean it... you really mean it? Yay thank you so much Mr. Hagoromo" said Natsu really looking happy while still looking at Hagoromo with the biggest smile showing his slighty large canines, Natsu has never really smiled like this in all of his life.
"Then come with me Natsu we have alot to work on if we wanna get you strong and please just call me something else no need for treating like im a superior." Hagoromo said whle picking up Natsu putting him on his back and to float once again
"Well okay then Old Man let's go!" Yelled Natsu at the top of his lungs seeming very enthusiastic about being trained.
1 Hour Later
The duo arrived in a very large cave, it was as wide as a large mansion, and it also had a small bonfire in the middle of the cave. Outside of it was still the forest but it was in the deeper part of the forest so it meant they were MANY miles away from any civilizations
"Alright Natsu before we do anytthing else we are going to need a last name for you now what should it be?" asked Hagoromo while trying to think of something which took him a few moments
"Alright I got! Your name will be Natsu Uzumaki, how does that sound kiddo?" Asked the Elderly man while looking at Natsu to see if he was okay with the name
"Yay that sounds totally awesome and it sound so intimidating at the same time" Natsu said looking very pleased and happy about the name the Older Man gave him.
"Well then kiddo it's getting late so you should rest up so you can be fully awake while I will tell you what kind of Ninshu and Ninjutsu I will be teaching you."
"Wait don't you mean magic Great Grandpa, don't you mean magic?" Asked Natsu looking completely confused because he never heard of this, He thought it was going to be magic since that's what the people have who do have it.
"No my boy I will be teaching you this type of thing called ninjutsu I will teach you ninshu much later. My power is not magic at all, it is an anicent power that was used many many millenniums ago. It has transformed into what is known as magic today I will explain this tommorow so get some rest okay my boy?"
"Oh okay but will it help me protect my loved ones, at least answer me that much." Said Natsu looking at Hagoromo
"Yes it will Natsu don't worry it will be more than enough to help you protect them."
"Okay then Great Grandpa I believe in you completely" said Natsu while walking to a bonfire in the middle of the cave.
"Good night Great Grandpa" said Natsu before dozing off to sleep immediately.
"Night Kiddo" Said Hagoromo before going to sleep himself thinking about how he is going to explain the art of ninjustu and possibly genjustu
