Please tell me anyway I can improve my writing.


The perfect angle. That is what Naruto Uzumaki saw as he stood on his tiny balcony. Standing there in his 178 cm of height and not much bulk, the cool air traveled through his spiky blonde hair, his exposed caucasian skin absorbing it and his ocean eyes gazed over the rainbow of colors that painted Konohagakure's rooftops. It was a nature of beauty but one that doesn't last long. Once the sun twitched and the beauty evaporated, Naruto turned away an almost silent sigh exiting his lips, filtering through his black cloth mask.

Entering his apartment, Naruto's eyes did a once over of the tiny place, noting his kunai pouch on his couch and that his bar table that separates the living room from the kitchen was usual, covered in books and books with some of his gear under them. Deciding to head to the table, he took a small detour, grabbing his kunai pouch. With the pouch in its usual place on his black pants, upper left thigh over some bandages, he was at his table ruffling through the scrolls and books.

First his hands found his gloves, both black but the left only stopped at the wrist, missing its pinky and thumb from the knuckle while the right missed all their fingers from the knuckle and stretched to just below the elbow. A burnt orange archery arm guard was sewed into the inner forearm, leaving about half a dozen centimeters of black cloth on each side.

Quickly, Naruto located his black (D1)hitai-ate, tying across his forehead.

Taking the set of dark gray straps that holds a black (D2)tanto sheath and matching empty quiver, he put the four straps on top of his black sleeveless jacket, two traveling down his shoulders and two across his side, just below his ribcage, connecting into a slightly, noticeable but slightly lighter gray diamond across his chest.

A couple minutes later, at front of his door, he slipped into his black shinobi sandals, his tanto's hilt sticking out of its sheath, over his left shoulder, the arrows, from his now full quiver, doing the same. Ready to leave, Naruto opened his door, finding a note pinned to his door with a kunai.

The Hokage needed to see me, I need you to pick up your new teammates from the academy.

" Fuck," muttered Naruto. Fine, but I'm getting breakfast first, thought Naruto, leaving his home.
