this story if he wants to see awesome fanfiction like this don't forget to subscribe now let's get into the video a tiny liquid droplet met the blank face of a young child staring up at the moonlet night sky since when was it raining the child thought to himself blankly staring up at the stars his gaze traveling over the black expanse dotted by numerous white dots in the center was one massive White Rock the Moon it calls does it not the boy's mental voice the voice that all people think to themselves with it sounded tired the boy's eyes locked onto the moon and the boy felt his chest begin to clench in on itself slightly the boy felt a connection with the moon what it was he could not say but he knew it was there like he knew there was something dripping on his face I do not see any clouds the boy thought to himself his eyes searching the expanse of Sky searching for clouds where is the rain coming from the child wondered inspecting the sky hoping to find an answer to his question his eyes met the moon again and their gaze stiffened locked with a white Rock the moon why does it call to me the child questioned his eyes staring at the moon in the dead of night silence permeating the area around the small child power began to build unbeknown to the boy his pupil began to shrink down to a small dot his Sapphire Eyes faded losing color quickly then methodically his pupil pulsated sending out ripples across his eye the ripples slowly came to a stop placing themselves in concentric circles that surrounded his now miniature pupil then color exploded outward of his pupil a soft Regal purple expanding across his Scara eventually the changes in his eyes settled and the boy felt no difference saw no change felt the same though he came to realize something he how silly of me that's not rain the boy's eyes finally broke from the night sky scanning the immediate area around him he was in his house his door broken down and laying on the ground why was there a hole in his ceiling the boy then noticed that around him lay three dead bodies it's blood the boy thought to himself confirming his findings by bringing his right hand up to his cheek grazing his skin before dragging his hand back down staring at the Crimson liquid that stained his fingertips but why is there blood here the boy asked himself his new question prompting him to twist his back and look all around him a tall man stood behind him grinning insanely with a black knife glinting in the Moonlight blood dripping from the tip ah that was how the blood was Dripping onto him but this posed a new question what was he doing here who was he the boy's lips parted slightly his throat tensing in preparation to speak before the words fell silent the man was raising his knife his grin somehow stretching as he did so what is he doing the boy questioned his eyes following the knife as it raised before its descent began Shing rense a new voice one the boy had not heard before rang within his head it was old wise calm it made the boy feel peace it made him feel safe it was familiar why was it familiar he swore he had never heard it before but it felt like it was there his entire life shinr tensei it repeated and the boy found that he could formulate words once more even as the knife neared his forehead the boy's lips parted muttering softly Shinra tensei the words were soft quiet eerily calm the boy's eyes watched as the knife hovered above his forehead for a precious second the Man's eyes widening in shock before a thunderous boom met the boy's ears forcing him to close his eyes his hair whipped around his head fluttering viciously in powerful winds before eventually it settled and the boy withdrew his hands from his eyes opening them slowly the boy's eyes widened slightly upon seeing once more a house surrounded him no longer his walls were gone not even debris surrounded him the bodies they were gone as well where had the man gone the boy looked all around him searching but could not find the man the houses to his left and right where his neighbors resided had chunks blown into them pieces of his house embedded within their walls and roofs when had those gotten there why was his house in pieces now the boy raised his head Shaggy blonde hair falling onto his face and in his eyes but he did not care his eyes met the moon once more and the boy found himself smiling his house may be gone but there was a plus side to this he could see the moon easier the boy felt at peace sitting in the crater he once called his home his shirt destroyed and in tatters around his body The Voice returned once more within his head sleep deep child the boy was tempted to say no for he wanted to continue to watch the moon before he felt weight pile onto his eyelids and he could no longer hold them up the lids closing over his eyes and his body collapsing forward line break manato namic the fourth Hokage the man who had stared the QB in the eyes and stood strong could not believe his eyes when he and hisu investigated the mysterious boom they had heard a house belonging to a civilian family was just destroyed it was obvious that some sort of explosion had happened considering that the house was torn apart and thrown all around the vicinity the tall blonde man strowed forward entering what would have been the house and looking around striding forward once more the man knelt down and grabbed a piece of debris that was in the dead center of the house lifting it easily the man's Sapphire Eyes widened considerably when he found a child the same age as his precious Nats mean laying within the debris his shirt torn and shredded across his torso cautiously menado fed his hands beneath the boy and cradled him into his chest as hisu checked the rest of the house flipping him over matato stared at the face of the civilian boy he has blonde hair like mine why have I not seen this boy around the village before I wonder if he goes to the academy perhaps natami Chan would know him even so what is he doing here how did he live question ponderings flew within minato's head as he stared at the child the small boy's soft breathing assuring the hokaj that he was still alive manado sighed however and stood up he would have to get the boy medical help after all Uno searched the area and tried to find me a cause figure out what happened here manado ordered his voice Stern and Powerful before he disappeared in a yellow flash line break voices faces memories everything returned to Naruto the boy's eyes flying open as he sat up quickly eyes frantically scanning the area around him ah H wad Dash Naruto muttered breathing steadily slowing down as he figured out where he was why was he in a hospital he was fine it was his family that needed medical attention not him Naruto looked around him and down at his body his eyes knocking onto the four in his arm furiously Naruto lowered his arm to it and gripped it Nar was about to yank it out of his arm when a firm hand grasped over his stopping him in his attempt to pull the four out of his arm shocked Naruto raised his head to meet the stern eyes of a blonde woman Hazel meeting Violet as the pair just stared at each other I wouldn't do that if I were you brat her voice it was annoyed it matched her face Naruto decided his eyes flashed over the diamond in the center of her forehead but he said nothing she had some sort of green Overcoat with a gray top underneath Naruto couldn't find the words to describe what she was wearing it was so odd to him nothing like he would have expected he couldn't help but attempt to quench his childish curiosity as the woman walked over and sat down on a rolling stool retrieving a clipboard from the wall and staring down at it uh w y y y uh why aren't you wearing you know like doctor stuff the boy questioned the woman looking up from her clipboard and staring at him with an annoyed gaze none of your business brat the woman replied narrowing her eyes as she saw him pout angrily hey I don't think that's very good uh What did Tucan call it ah yeah that's not very good bedside Manor Naruto chided the woman pointing his finger at her accusingly the woman reeled back her face distorting into a very noticeable Grimace before she snarled at him I don't need to have good bedside manner brat when you're the best doctor there is bedside manner doesn't mean anything the woman spoke with a little more volume and force than she meant this only served to fuel the boy more I don't care if you're the fraking god of hospitals or something when you are a doctor someone who is supposed to help people you're supposed to be nice respectable kind the boy shouted his voice gaining volume and forced to match hers the woman stared at him narrowing her eyes before shaking her head and returning to her clipboard shut up brat she ordered hiding her smirk when the boy began to F mangily groaning frustratedly before flopping back onto the bed whatever where are my parents they should be here as well Naruto demanded staring at the woman who allowed her lips to part slightly her brows lowering sadly before she lightly shook her head and her face grew Stern once more they're not here kid I don't know where they are though I'm sure manado gaki knows the woman responded temporarily easing the boy's mind and allowing him to sink into his bed a little more relaxed Naruto's ears picked up the sound of a chair rolling across floor before the woman's face shadowed over his a clipboard in her hands now I've got some questions what's your name kid the woman began Naruto narrowing his eyes what you guys know who I am don't be silly Naruto muttered angrily he'd been to this very hospital before he was born here for crying out loud o i don't you get Snappy with me brat we've got a bunch of blondes but you're not a yamanaka or a namic and we for sure don't have anyone eyes like yours now who are you the woman demanded frustratingly glaring into the boy's eyes eyes Naruto's eyes widened however what I mean I've got blue eyes just like the hok Naruto snarled angry and frustrated with this woman her hazel eyes narrowed before she grumbled about stupid kids and grabbed a mirror from where the hell did she get that mirror look brat I don't know about you but those aren't eyes I've seen before the woman muttered handing Naruto the mirror the boy looked at her before raising the mirror up to to his face making his eyes widen what the the boy whispered holding the mirror with one hand and pulling at his eyelids with the other he turned and twisted his face pulled at his cheeks and eyelids staring at his new eyes they were a Regal purple concentric ring surrounding a small dotlike pupil that didn't expand or constrict to meet different light amounts like his old pupil like normal pupils narut merely stared at his eyes this was the scene that matato M walked in on the mirror hiding Naruto's face from his the boy was too occupied with his eyes to hear the door open and close matato looked at Cady the woman shaking her head at him damn so so far she hadn't learned anything about what happened well matato knew he could be pretty persuasive Hey kid I'm the yand hok matato offered sitting down on the bed and looking at the blonde head behind the mirror then the boy dropped the mirror in nanto eyes widened upon seeing the eye within the boy's head is that the I'll have to get your AA Sensei manado thought to himself schooling his features and staring into the hypnotic purple gaze of the boy manato felt as if his world tore down the White Walls of the hospital shredding around him as a void began to take hold of him Naruto's body began to rip long vertical pieces of his body tearing away until all that remained floating in the air were his ringed eyes sunade Frozen as the world around her was fell to the ground and shattered into pieces that melted into the black void that surrounded matato and the eyes manato twisted his body and turned around looking out of the window and watched as the rest of the world tore away as well manado tried to run but wherever he went the eyes followed floating behind him until the rest of the world was torn evaporated in the Everlasting Darkness manado turned around falling to his back and scrambling to get away from the purple eyes that slowly floated towards him stop get away from me matato ordered shouting in fear as his throat tore he grit his teeth reeling away from the eyes as they continued to float towards him slowly a body began to form around the eyes to minato's shock it was not Naruto's body but instead an older man with horns began to form around the eyes a white cloak formed over his body black symbols aligning his neck eventually the man finished taking form and merely floated above manado a red eye adorning the center of his forehead open and intimidating as matado found that he could not take his eyes off of it who who are you manado demanded his voice shaking with fear dripping off of every syllable the man did not say anything manado glared and continued to shout and scream at the man the man's lips parted and his right hand raised silence manado went to disobey his mouth dropping open and his lungs expanding as they took in air before that air was brutally forced out as an invisible force slammed into minato's chest forcing him back as his body Ragdoll and rolled away from the man the three-eyed figure merely floated over towards man's body once more hokages Sama manato rolled over onto his back glaring at the man who floated above him though he followed the man's order and remained silent the man narrowed his eyes power radiating from his entire Essence before he spoke manato namic hok Sama yand hok of kakur hok sama you asked who I was let me inform you hokages Sama my name is ha Dash hokages Sama suddenly the void manado found himself and began to bleed color buildings forestry koha began to take form around him manado saw the man's body tearing and fading wait tell me who are you manado shouted raising his hand towards the rapidly fading body the Man's eyes softened a smile coming onto his features I am Naruto his words faded as his body did only his purple eyes remained as Naruto's body took form around them manato found that he was still staring at the child who had narrowed his eyes at him suady hovering over the blonde man and slapping his face shaking his head with W what escaping his mouth matato turned his gaze away from the hypnotic rings of the purple eyes as sori manado muttered shakily standing up and leaving the room quickly Naruto watched him go wondering exactly what was wrong with the hok he had long admired line break Naruto sighed recently his life had become horrible his family had been brutally murdered by some crazed [ __ ] that broke into his house so there was that now he was living alone in some random apartment provided to him by the hok and to top it all off his eyes were so weird now God Naruto hated looking at them they both intrigued and frightened him and he hadn't told anyone about it but sometimes if he stared into them long enough it looked like the very world around him would begin to tear like paper long vertical strips of his wall would suddenly start to come down and evaporate as they went however it stopped and His World returned to normal as soon as he stopped looking into his own eyes actually Naruto wondered if he was dreaming the Hokage had tried to tell him that his house had blown up for no reason what he may only be 12 he may be the dead last of the academy but houses don't just blow up for no reason he wasn't that stupid plus there was that really weird likee five minutes that the Hokage just stared into his eyes almost like he was in a trance Naruto wondered if the man had experienced the same tearing that he did narut Naruto's ponderings were cut short as an annoyed voice called out for him shocked Naruto quickly took his head off of his desk and looked around surprised a small amount of drool whipped out of his mouth as he did so Wahoo Naruto questioned looking around round until his eyes met iraa Sensei the man glaring at him for the last time Naruto don't fall asleep in my class IA ordered throwing an eraser at Naruto's head which hit him Square in the forehead and caused the boy to fall backwards in his seat falling with the wooden furniture the class laughed at him and Naruto looked around everywhere around him were faceless figures only their wide laughing grins visible the chirping of birds the colors of the classroom everything Blended and melted together into a haze of laughter and pointed fingers Naruto looked all around him whipping his body back and forth twisting in some sort of crazed anxiety as he tried to escape the scrutiny of his classmates he could find no such Solace tears started to build in Naruto's eyes the rippled purple frantically gazing past all of the grins stop the laughter persisted stop the laughter persisted stop the laughter stopped as Naruto's head quickly raising off of his desk as he sucked in his drool the class turning around to look at him with bored annoyed Expressions on their faces IA turned around as well before smirking so you decided to Grace us with your presence after such a wonderful rest then Naruto the class snickered but Naruto found that it was much more tolerable than the laughter from what he guessed was actually a dream or in this case a nightmare IA seeing that he had successfully gotten the class to laugh turned around once more and began to write on the chalkboard returning to whatever history crap he had been talking about before Naruto slumped forward placing his chin on his forearms his purple eyes sweeping over the room why was he so alone now did he really not have anyone outside of his parents his ringed eyes swept over the room again searching for a single person a friend did he really not not have any friends was that why whenever he thought of the academy he felt lonely he search stopped on a redhaired girl who for some reason was looking at him her Sapphire Eyes dug into his Royal Purple ones kurarama The Voice from before returned causing Naruto's eyes to widen and the boy to look all around him huh W who's there Naruto called out the class giggling as they turned to look at him Nar caught the Gaze of the red-haired girl once more who then sneered at him and turned around clearly angry at something the class turned around once more IA looking angry at Naruto's Outburst but doing nothing about it he had heard about his parents murder so he could at least cut the boy slack when he was awake but still and no one would sleep in his class Naruto slumped forward once more burying his face in his arms his black shirt pulled at his chest stretched slightly he did not mind he looked at the wood of his desk his eyes lazily tracing the patterns within the furniture lonely why do I feel so alone is no one in class willing to give me a chance Naruto pondered sorrowful thoughts taking a hold of his head before an eraser hit the back of it summoning the boy's head to rise Naruto who is the show hok Ira could demanded annoyed as he rubbed at the ridge of his face waiting to berate the child for yet another wrong answer Naruto looked at the man blankly trying in vain to remember before suddenly the information flooded his mind uh the Shai hok known to those close to him as hashirama senju was the only known wielder of the Mutan or wood release he was able to create this Jutsu Style by infusing earth and water chakra together creating wood he became a master of his new bloodline but did not allow himself to be limited by it instead he also worked on normal Jutsu Styles and Tai Jutsu becoming a legendary Shinobi he had befriended Madara aiha the progenitor of the aiha clan and the pair of legendary Shinobi created kakur the first hidden village after being brought up in a time of Warren Clans fighting for power hashirama decided he wanted peace using his Mutan he gathered the nine beu and gave them away keeping the nine Tales within koha or specifically sealing it within his wife Mito Uzumaki hashirama died as a legendary Shinobi which to some has still not been surpassed to this day Naruto finished looking a little shocked that he knew the knowledge as the entire class was as well IA was shocked because he the teacher didn't know some of the things Naruto spoke of youa very good Naruto IA stated baffled as he never expected those words to leave his mouth Naruto stared at the class who were looking at him with wide eyes before shrinking away from their gazes shy and embarrassed he had never received praise from anyone other than his parents before and it was all so new to him well anyway class I think that's enough lecturing for today after all you are fourthe students meaning this is your last year in the academy should you pass the Gen and exam so we might as well get you started fighting any IA questioned with a smile his eyes squinting his smile was met with shouts of Happiness from the students though Naruto looked apprehensive going noticed only by a couple of people who had taken an interest in the boy one of these people was observing him through the windows of the room more particularly his eyes Naruto followed the class as they were ushered out trailing slightly behind but still keeping he observed watched as the students almost seemed to jump up and down in excitement why were they excited they were being led to a Battleground where they would learn to kill each other his view of the academy and of Shinobi had been steadily shifting over nights of dreamy sleep thoughts that belonged to a past version of him flooding his mind memories vague and blurry to his Mind's Eye for the current time flew past Naruto's goal in life had changed no longer did he want to be the best Shinobi to become the Hokage No in fact he wanted peace he wanted to bring the world the peace that so rightfully deserved perhaps being a Shinobi was the correct path to that peace he did not know it confused him bothered his mind he found that occasionally it was all he could think of he wondered if it was because he had nothing better to do merely sitting alone in his small quiet apartment why hadn't the Hokage put him in the orphanage again oh yeah he told him not to right all right class it's going to be a basic one-on-one style of sparring we will randomly match you up with your opponent and whoever wins will be gifted Five Points of extra credit that seemed stupid to Naruto that was rewarding Clan heirs and students who were already practicing and putting down those that weren't and randomly selecting partners that was ridiculous while yes they would eventually be put up against vastly differing enemies out in the field to be that far in strength where they had no experience no knowledge on how to handle situations like that it was stupid and another thing why the hell did Naruto suddenly care and how was he even thinking of this stuff Naruto shook his head ridding it of such thoughts and proceeded to just wait for whatever fight he would have Naruto versus IA dug his hand into the pouch they were using to draw names withdrawing the small piece of paper IA brought it to his eyes Naro versus SAS aiha ARA shouted the class muttering amongst themselves a few bets even taking place Naruto entered the ring and stared at his raven-haired opponent the pale-skinned girl was staring at him emotions locked away behind her Ebony Eyes she gracefully settled into a stance no doubt taught to her by her family before she nodded her head towards IA Naruto narrowed his eyes merely standing there and nodded his head towards Ira he knew he would lose there was no point in settling into a stance Naro are you sure you're not even even going to take a stance IA questioned some of the students laughing even Sasuke cracked a smirk Naruto dragged his gaze lazily up towards Ira well obviously I am outclassed here IA Sensei there is no point in trying against a clan member when I myself have had no prior training and I haven't bothered to learn the academy style because I know it is pointless in the long run our Jon and senses are likely to find a proper stance for us and the academy one is really only used to get us used to fighting is it not Naruto questioned IR is shocked at his inquisitiveness before rubbing the bridge of his nose frustrated Naruto you should at least try why Sensei truly why it is not like this will affect my grade for only the winner receives extra credit and this is not truly a graded assignment Naruto fired back staring at his teacher with his hypnotic purple eyes you said it yourself narut this is to get you used to fighting so you should get used to it any IA questioned and smirked when Naruto turned his gaze back to Sasuke me I have no stance anyway and IA promptly sweat dropped when the class laughed fine fine Hajime IA called out dropping his arm down to Signal the start of the fight Sasuke rushed forward a determined look in her eye Naruto watched annoyed and just waiting for his defeat until he noticed something he could see her movements see what she would do before she did it how how was he doing this surely he could win if he knew what she would do prior to doing it right Naruto smirked deciding that he stood a chance of winning as Sasuke surged forward Naruto watched suddenly Sasuke reeled her arm back and prepared to launch it at his chest narut dodged to his left and slinked his arm around her waist throwing her away from him with his right arm the class was shocked none more so than Sasuke she grinned slightly though squashed it as she got up steadying back into her stance before rocketing off once more this time at an even greater speed Naruto's eyes widened as she approached much faster than he anticipated her fist connected squarely on his stenum and launched the boy backwards Naruto stumbled backwards coughing and opened his eyes in time to catch the girl rushing him one once more she's preparing a kick crap Naruto thought ducking quickly dropping down actually onto his butt as he did not have the skill to complete the drop and be able to get back up Naruto looked up watching as she went to drop her leg onto him once more Naro quickly rolled over onto his right but hit her other leg and now found himself trapped beneath her Sasuke growled lowly a light blush escaping onto her cheeks before she dropped down with an elbow to Naruto's face face narut saw Stars his eyes closing and opening rapidly and slowly at the same time uh Naruto moaned his vision clearing to see Sasuke preparing to punch him in the face again her legs on his arms and pinning him there crap Naruto thought trying to frantically get out of the situation the arm lowered but Naruto rolled over slightly knocking Sasuke over and allowing Naruto to scramble up away from the girl can't you trust tried to win by getting me out of the circle instead of knocking me out Naruto demanded angrily some blood leaking from his mouth slightly where she had elbowed him Sasuke got up angrily pointing at him you were the one that rolled underneath me Sasuke shouted back Naruto growled stomping up and jabbing his finger in the center of her chest and you were the one trying to kick me to Kingdom Come Naruto accused the pair glaring at each other kba suddenly giggled and shouted out kiss already Naruto and Sasuke blushed looked at each other before glaring and jumping away from each other hastily winner Naruto I's voice cut out h both Sasuke and Naruto questioned turning their heads to stare at Ira in bewilderment Sasuke stepped out of the ring and gave up the win IA supplied and the class looked at her feet finding one completely out of the ring she had jumped far enough away from from Naruto to lose Naruto grinned he had actually won that was a first narut scanned his classmates's eyes searching their eyes for approval instead he found pity and amusement they pitted Sasuke why Naruto then met Sasuke's eyes and saw that she was incredibly angry she was glaring at him Naro swore he could feel Heat hit his face as she glared and it felt as if he was going to die Lon break Naruto sighed hanging his head down as he stro out of the academy a swarm of students flowing from the building he hastily shoved his hands into his pants his white shirt fluttering in the wind slightly he looked up gazing around him he saw many students jump into their parents' arms of course these were the early entry students the five and six-year-olds he saw families gathered to pick up their children he saw siblings laugh and giggle with each other as they ran out it hurt Naruto felt his chest clench his heart beating within his very ears his eyes every time it beat Darkness surged through his eyes in tiny tendrils that vanished immediately after only to come back with each beat why Naruto smiled softly he knew why he was grieving why wasn't he crying he began to walk forward once more hanging his head again he knew why he wasn't crying it was more of a resigned grief grief he knew it had happened and that he didn't have the power to change that he didn't know why but a surge of something flow through his eyes as he thought about that perhaps he could resurrect them he had seen ninjas do almost anything he could think of spew fire dragons from their mouths create copies of themselves even walk the corridors of others Minds all with chakra perhaps chakra could bring back his parents Naruto's mind wandered down dark paths as he walked his body bouncing and swaying with each step his purple eyes pulsated power though he did not feel it Naruto's thoughts were interrupted by a firm grip on his shoulder which pulled him around narut found himself whipped around his purple eyes meeting the enraged ebony ones of SAS AA the girl glared before drawing back her arm and slamming her fist into Naruto's cheek GA Naruto cried out in pain his body twisting in the air and sending him onto the ground dragging through the dirt ug what the hell Naruto groaned slowly getting up only to fall back down by a kick to his back hey stop it stop Naruto cried out as the girl proceeded to stomp on his back Sasuke that is enough a Stern older voice called out Naruto looked over his shoulder to watch as Sasuke was pulled back by the arm by an older aiha boy red Shar shingon spinning angrily in his eyes mind explaining to me exactly why you are bullying this young boy the Boy questioned sternly his shangan slowing down slightly Sasuke met his gaze definantly glaring at him he humiliated me Sasuke shouted back at her brother Naruto groaned getting up it wasn't my fault you jumped out of the ring Naruto shouted angrily pointing a finger at her as he held his chest Sasuke R before pointing her finger at Naruto as well you were going to you were going to why you were going to kiss me Sasuke shouted angrily her cheeks rening slightly Naruto growled dropping his arm and glaring as if who'd kiss you a toad Naruto countered this infuriating SAS Mo much to the confusion of Naruto he didn't know why she was doing that unfortunately Itachi did he sighed The Ridge of his nose he had a decision to make here should he a just take his sister home and leave it at that b take her home and question her on where she stood with the boy C question her here or D tell her to get over her little lover's quarrel in public confusing the boy and embarrassing his sister option b if she likes that boy then I've got a straight in her out she'll only drive him away like this atachi thought to himself before gripping her shoulder and poofing away with the Swift use of shunshin Naruto looked at where the pair had just been before groaning and clutching his aching chest just what was wrong with that girl line break Payne stared at the crowd that had gathered before him from six different views five were hidden watching the aimed citizens and waiting while one stood confidently in front of the crowd face Stern and purple eyes glowing I am God whether you believe me or not will not change the fact that I am God pay spoke his words cold and emotionless his purple eyes the ones belonging to the non-hidden path gazed across the crowd of civilians none of them believed him his eyes narrowed seeing this a Gruff old man stepped forward his gray goatee flowing down from his chin to his sternum He adjusted a pair of glasses on his nose before smirking if you really are God a deity what could you even do for us huh you look human you sound human and if I was creepy I'd walk up to you and i' bet you'd even smell human there is nothing you have that we do not the man defiantly spoke his eyes a light with confidence matching pains the man controlling the body struggled a Grimace contorting his face he wanted so very badly to make these people listen to make them see him as God but he knew that if he did that he'd be no better than Hanzo the salamander he wanted to distance his rule from that man's rule as much as he could I assure you that I can do much much more than any of you can Payne responded emotionlessly standing in front of the crowd like a statue the man chuckled bringing his hand to his gut and bending forward while the crowd behind him nervously chuckled with him Hanzo the salamander thought the same as you but there is one thing that no one not even he not even you could do so tell me God if you really are a deity if you really are a God then tell me this can you stop the rain this question caught pain off guard and he chided himself surely he could stop the rain the man in front of him continued letun make a deal Mr God if you can stop the rain for 10 seconds just 10 seconds then I will bow my head and call you God the man offered smirking confidently Payne wanted to kill this man but only his real face showed it fine Payne's emotionless response came the orange-haired man's head rolled back his purple eyes glowing as the rain hit them this had to be possible he had to make these people believe him slowly he raised his hands and allowed the body to channel his power through the metal piercings within it power began to rumble through the arms of the visible path and eventually he welded to speak Shinra tensei the path muttered Stern and cold before the rain stopped hitting some sort of force field the man stepped forward his mouth dropped and he reached his hand underneath the field it was dry no way the man muttered before snarling you've got to keep this up for seven more seconds Chum the man informed snarling angrily he bowed to no false god pain at least a path did not respond The Man Behind the paths shook with exertion he even started to cough and choke no he could do it only four more seconds now he could do it suddenly the red-haired man lurched forward and spat out blood the pass arms dropped and the rain slammed back down onto him his orange hair sticking to his face the man stepped back crossed his arms and smirked you are no God you are a man much like me I B to no man the goatey man chided turning around and disapp peering into the crowd as it began to disperse Payne stared at the ground as it splashed with droplets of rain why had he failed the rikuto sine was hailed as a god a true God that could do anything why couldn't he he had the eyes of the sine the eyes of God and he failed how was that possible jiah had said he was the child of prophet no that was it jiah had been wrong about how to achieve peace that that meant he was wrong about his eyes these were not the eyes of the rikuto sine they were a cheap knockoff fakes imitations the rikuto senan's eyes were said to allow him to create anything all pain could create was death destruction and ironically enough pain he had failed to become strong enough to force the world into peace no he hadn't he just didn't have the tailed beasts yet yeah that was it that had to be it yahiko's body tilted its head back up once more the path of pain reunited with the other paths once they jumped down with it we are pain we are God we are peace the path said in unison before jumping away line break Naruto wandered throughout koha aimlessly walking without any real purpose or destination he was looking at his feet watching each step his feet took he watched the path beneath him as it blurred with his movement he raised his head randomly feeling compelled to he realized why the path seemed familiar he was staring at his house why had his feet made him wander here perhaps he wasn't as okay with their deaths as he thought he was he chuckled despite the crazy looks he received from those around him why was he even calling a crater a house it was a marker telling those that saw it where his house used to be it was no long longer there and it was no longer a house narut felt something wet hit his head two more somethings hit his head and pierced the canopy of his hair allowing the wetness to reach his scalp narut looked up droplets of liquid hitting his face and sliding down his cheeks oh it was starting to rain that's what it was rain funny he almost worried that he was going to look up and see blood hitting his face Naruto dropped his head walking forward into the center of the crater as the rain grew in intensity before Naruto found himself standing in the middle of a downpour standing in what used to be his house now reduced to a crater how had that ever happened houses didn't just explode nothing just exploded for no reason Naruto looked up once more before looking down with a grunt some rain had gotten into his eye it was cold it hurt it stung actually Naruto picked at his eye rubbing it softly stupid rain it was so irritating now why could he feel every single drop why was it so persistent it was annoying incredibly so G he just wanted it to stop stop stop stop Naruto screamed out flailing his arms out and pulling at his hair he continued to pull scrunching his eyes and trying to rip his hair out uh h Naruto you what are you what are you doing I mean with the rain a Meek weak voice came out behind Naruto the boy turned around angrily snarling as he dropped his arms and scanned the area behind him his eyes widened and his snil dropped when he found the namic's princess standing behind him huh what did you say Naruto questioned turning around to look at her in the back of his mind he noted he didn't feel the rain anymore why was that he supposed it just stopped raining you I was just asking what you were doing with the rain the namic girl questioned once more pointing above narut narut gave her an odd look like she was crazy before he looked above him his jaw dropped as he did so what the Naruto muttered for what he saw was rain just bouncing off of some sort of barrier it was above him it surrounded his house crater and didn't allow a single drop of rain to pierce it wo Naruto mumbled walking forward towards the edge of the barrier and attempting to reach out and touch it it moved away from his touch expanded and suddenly the area where the rain did not touch was larger this is so weird but it's like cool Naruto spoke out loud to himself mostly he was almost shocked when the namic girl stepped towards him and spoke as well how are you doing this she questioned her voice smooth and calm why didn't Naruto remember her voice sounding like that wait did she ever speak to Naruto before Naruto shook his head deciding to just answer her question I don't know I don't even know if I'm the one doing this narut answered staring at the barrier with a childish all lighting up his eyes Naruto did not notice the namic's girl step a little closer to him reaching her hand out to touch the barrier Naruto watched in Fascination as the barrier did not grow for her and her hand actually pushed past it she withdrew her hand and looked at it it was now drenched this is really cool Naruto she squealed in Delight Naruto looked at her with a slight blush why did he like the way his name rolled off of her tongue she looked at him before her eyes widened Naruto your eyes there glowing she told him locked onto his eyes and staring at them wait really Naruto exclaimed reeling back and trying to find something to look at his eyes with the namic girl nodded her head vigorously clearly excited by The Gleam in her eye and the childish smile she had plastered onto her face are you channeling chakra to your eyes Naruto the girl questioned staring intently at him Naruto furrowed his eybrows I I don't know how to do that Naruto mumbled looking away from the girl with an embarrassed look hm what did you say Naruto the girl pestered once more leaning closer into him to try and hear him I said I don't know how to do that okay Naruto told her loudly angrily shaking his fists God now she'd make fun of him like everyone else had it wasn't his fault his parents were just Merchants Naruto huffed and turned around Crossing his arms and angrily glaring at the crater that was once his home he felt a soft grip on his shoulder prompting him to turn around reluctantly he met the soft smiling face of the namic girl that's all right at least it answers my question you didn't always have those purple eyes of yours did you the girl questioned like she already knew the answer Naruto looked at her oddly tilting his head and raising a brow before shaking his head and touching his chin no my eyes were blue before Naruto started shaking looking down at the Crater of his home before Naruto bald his fists tears began to build in his eyes before my parents died his voice was cold his shaking suddenly stopped and a single tear dripped off of his nose the girl placed her other hand on his other shoulder and snaked the other one further around his back and patted it slightly hey it's all right you're okay aren't you she asked trying to console him no no it's not all right I get to Live While my parents don't that man took them away from me for no reason and he smiled while he did it Naruto growled grasping in front of his stomach for something to strangle he was so angry now why was he angry he didn't understand he knew he couldn't get them back so why was he angry he should be thankful he's alive he knows they wouldn't want him to be mad so why was he Naruto's lips parted and he stopped grab grasping the area in front of him a high pitch ringing blocking out any other noise why was he mad was this what Revenge was this cruel cold feeling in his chest it constricted his lungs pressed on his heart made it feel like his ribs were going to crack under the pressure Naruto decided he didn't like the feeling Naruto raised his head and met the wishy worried eyes of the namic girl then Naruto furrowed his brows why didn't he know her name it was on the tip of his tongue why couldn't he think of it his anger was forgotten Cast Away when he realized this fact had he not been so absorbed with thinking of her name he would have wondered about how he found it so easy to forget his anger hey I'm sorry but uh W what's your and Name Naruto asked shyly looking away from her to avoid the embarrassment it would generate and the anger he'd see in her eyes she looked at him before shaking her head and dislodging her arms from around him it's natsi namad Das oh shut up I know you're a namic case all everyone calls you as the namic princess that's stupid I wanted to know your name so I didn't become one of those idiots Naruto told her with conviction his eyes fiery natsi stared at him her lips parting and her mouth trying to formulate words before she settled on a smile that means a lot to me most people see me as the hok's daughter but I just want them to look at me and see natsi not namic or my father or hok's daughter or anything stupid like that natsi explained looking down with a sad expression she felt Naruto's hand grip her shoulder tightly the boy knowing no restraint with anything he did before he tipped her chin up with his index finger she looked into his eyes and watched as he raised a finger up to point at her while his eyes narrowed and his mouth t Twisted into a Grimace don't give me that crap all right those people are idiots they are stupid idiots just trying to get in good with you so that they can get closer to your father I don't give a crap about your dad being the hok all I see him as is someone to surpass someone to get better than so natami don't give me this sap story all right because I don't need it I only saw you as the namic girl because everyone was too stupid stupid to tell me your real name and I wasn't interested enough to go and ask you but now I see you for who you are natsi not natsi namic just natami got that Naruto questioned angrily his finger pointing at her and making jabbing motions when he finished despite his rough nature and his extremely blunt words natsi found herself smiling nodding her head as he dislodged his grip from her shoulder good Naruto groaned out turning around to look at the barrier around them again he stared at it before walking to the other end of the barrier the one closer to the road or where his door used to be he touched the barrier and once more it expanded how far do you think this can get Naro questioned out loud though he did not wait for natsumi's answer before he pressed forward once more the barrier stretched to accommodate him as he began to walk forward and Naruto gained confidence running forward the barrier matching his speed and stretching forward the rain did not hit Naruto nor did it hit natsi who watched from his house Naruto looked up excited as he ran until a single droplet of rain hit the very center of his forehead and flowed down between his eyes ha Naruto muttered before suddenly the rain began to pour once more the barrier gone nusi watched from the crater as Naruto stared up at the rain the dark sky meeting his gaze and unwavering in its own gaze she went to reach out for him with her hand but stopped why had she never seen this before why did the boy look so lonely he merely stood there in the rain his shoulders slumped forward and his arms dangling down to his thighs he just stood there aimlessly he looked lost natsi reached out with her hand but found that whatever words she could have formed died in her throat she felt her chest clench slightly before she shook her head and ran to him pay stared at the figure that stood across from him bathed in Shadow the only feature that pay could make out even with all six of his paths staring at the figure was the mirrored image of the renan glowing from the figure's shadowed face as if the pair choreographed to dance the DAP path and the figure raised a hand to each other Palms out and fingers extended their ringed eyes met power dripping from the eyes like tears before pain muttered Shinra tensei nothing happened neither figure moved though Payne's eyes widened impossible you shouldn't be able to dash H the figure interrupted Payne with a short chuckle dropping its arm but keeping its gaze locked onto Payne's eyes the figure did not react other than raise an arm to the Jutsu hurled at it by Conan surprisingly not a paper Jutsu the Jutsu merely met a barrier in front of the figure's hand and probably sank into nothingness pay's eyes once more widened he knew what the figure had done he had done it numerous times in his life pay watched as the figure smirked brilliant white teeth shining despite its blackened body the figure opened its mouth but only vague muffled mumbles left his its mouth annoying pain and frightening him at the same time the shadowed figure then withdrew its head and laughed boisterously the laughter haunted pain his paths falling at the feet of yahiko's body before that two followed holding their heads and Howling shrill and pained neato's real body dislodged from the statue that taunted him and kept him alive all at the same time nagato began to hold his head Palms covering his ears just trying to stop the sounds the howling shrieks of his pths before suddenly the body slumped forward the renan in their eyes fading nagato panted holding his chest and looking at the figure which was no longer smiling instead its renan eyes pierced through the Eternal Darkness surrounding nagato and the figure slowly the figure began to approach nagato the red-haired Man's eyes widened his face twisting and churning into a scared frightful Grimace as he stumbled backwards stay stay away from me nagato screamed his throat tearing and shredding the figure persisted even when nagato fell and continued to try to scramble away despite the rapidly approaching shadowy figure eventually nagato felt as if he HD a wall and he cast his terrified gaze up at the figure standing before him the figure turned its head left and right looking around the darken area they were in your mind it has deteriorated this is hanzo's doing is it not the figure questioned randomly looking down at pay the man just continued to stare at him in fear hmpf of course you don't understand my apologies I'm used to ginu Minds my name is suddenly glowing purple chains wrapped around around the figure pulling it back slowly damn it I don't have much time the figure grunted out resisting the chains and attempting to reach out and touch nagato's forehead I grew I need you to understand the figure grunted out trying in vain to touch nagato's forehead missing the pale canvas just barely before the chains glowed brighter nagato stared at the blonde hair that seemed to be mixing with an odd tannish color tan skin mixing with an odd palish chalk the figure grunted horns slightly protruding from its forehead a third eye in the center of its forehead barely ever so barely creaking open glowing red it struggled against the chains its eyes meeting Neato my name is heera Dash the figure stopped looking down at nothing contemplating it raised its head again before suddenly it was pulled back into the darkness with a blurring speed line break glowing Violet concentric ringed eyes stared dully forward casting a soft almost unnoticeable glow across the fingers laced over the mouth of the owner of said eyes blonde hair hung Shaggy over the forehead of the owner one large lock falling between both eyes though it was cast slightly to the left clipping the edge of the purple eye that rest behind it the eyes closed the owner with drawing backwards with a sigh as he removed his hands from his mouth instead dropping the right one onto the wooden table the left hand reaching back and resting over the back rest of the wooden chair he was seated in the eyes of Naruto opened once more staring with boredom at the chunin instructor known as Ira cumo who was busy giving the class a last minute speech before he announced their teams it irritated Naruto to no end the man spoke of his students how he was proud of them how he believed they would lead lives of greatness and earn glory for themselves Naruto frowned at that particular thought lately Naruto found that that he no longer saw the glory others did in one's ability to kill one such example was the yande hok he had gained Fame through his ability to slaughter entire armies within seconds why would a man with such killing potential be granted Fame instead of infamy why did the human race respect its ability to kill itself Naruto then thought of hasham senju the Shai hok the man was respected for his motan abilities which made him a God on the battlefield unbeatable by all except Madara AA his friend and rival Naruto however found that he respected the man's quest to bring peace to the lands that had long since been plunged into a Waring State between Clans now while Naruto found that he respected the man for that he found that he disagreed with a surprising amount of loathing anger Naruto wasn't sure what he felt but he was surprisingly angry when he thought of the man's method capturing the beu and spreading them across the Villages what would that accomplish the man had done it because he thought it would bring about a Power Balance Shifting the scales of War so that it would be equal but what confused Naruto was wasn't a scale just as balanced if he removed everything on it why did the show I feel the need to place things onto the scale Naruto suddenly glared at his right hand which was lazily tapping on the wooden desk in front of him why did the man feel the need to enslave creatures that were not bothering him at all up until that point the Bea had peacefully lived away from Humanity it was Madara AA that had made the Cub attack hashirama not the QB's own free will Naro was angered a sensient being's Freedom was not something that should ever have been sacrificed for a false imitation of Peace Naruto closed his eyes bringing his right hand up to slowly rub the bridge of his nose before he dropped it back down and opened his eyes and ears to the man in front of him team seven Naruto natami namik and SAS aiha under Kush Uzumaki IA called out prompting Naruto to search the room for his new teammates both he was somewhat acquainted with natsi namic heir to the namic and Uzumaki can jooin clan daughter of matato namik the yande hok and Kush Uzumaki their new Sensei no doubt picked because she wanted to teach her daughter Naruto frowned once more at that thought whether it was unintentional or not there was bound to be favoritism within the team that would bring nothing good their Sensei was bound to make biased decisions favor natsi and overall throw the team's potential ASU and then there was Sasuke aiha second born daughter of the aiha clan head faku aiha and his wife Mikoto aiha sister of Itachi achha the greatest Prodigy to have graced the aiha clan since Madara aiha the girl had a nasty ego and a need to prove herself Naruto's frown deepened the girl positively hated him his first real encounter with her had been The Spar which ended with her boot on his back and since then she had been avoiding him not only that but she was in AA the clan head's daughter no less the favoritism within the team would do nothing to her as she would be taught once she got home as well further segregating the team Naruto gazed down at his hand watching as the tendons stretched his skin as his fingers tapped the wooden desk the only one who was really being hurt by this team structure was him and he wasn't entirely sure how to feel about it here he sat with the Rookie of the Year and the kunoichi of the year as his teammates with an S-Class Shinobi as his Sensei and he had felt cheated he was placed in what could very well be the strongest genen and team coming out of koha at least immediately out of the academy and he wasn't satisfied with his placement narut side rolling his head back and staring at the ceiling he wished that he had been placed in an all civilian team with a simple jonen instructor there would be no favoritism none of the jenin would have more training than the others and the Jen would have no reason to make them take missions above drank for quite some time at that particular thought Naruto furrowed his brow and thought why did the thought of a mission above durank make him feel apprehensive before his parents death Naruto had been excited to leave the Village and find himself Fame Glory before his parents death he would have been positively ecstatic about his team's placement especially his Sensei being an s-ranked Shinobi with their own Fame but ever since then his thoughts had been scrambled clashing with everything that he had believed for his entire albeit short 12 year long life he had been thinking much more lately about everything before he would have never thought about his team's future favoritism about about the idiocy of the human Race's tendency to respect its ability to kill itself about anything other than his future as a glorious Shinobi where was their glory in war in death many veteran Shinobi found themselves thinking the same things at least those that had seen true War Naruto wondered if matato namic ever thought such things ever pondered the futility of War how useless it was Naro was roused from his thoughts as the two seats to his right were suddenly occupied natsi sitting to his immediate right with Sasuke sitting to her right Naruto cast his eyes over them before sighing and returning his gaze to the ceiling hello natsi called out softly smiling over at him Naruto looked at her from the corner of his eye before looking at the ceiling tracing the patterns within it with his ringed eyes hello natami SAS Naruto spoke not looking at either of the girls lost in his own world of thought Sasuke looked over at him before quickly looking away and looking at the door natsi caught that but didn't say anything instead deciding to enjoy the Serene silence that had captured her team are you two satisfied with the placements Naruto's voice broke the silence randomly prompting natsi to raise a delicate red brow and SAS to look at the boy from the corner of her eye yes I am Sasuke grunted out in a very aike manner keeping her Ebony Gaze trained on on Naruto's form yes I am rather happy with the way things turned out why do you ask Naruto natsi questioned turning her head to look at the boy Nar met their gazes with his own before sighing bringing his left arm back from Over the chair and fiddling with his thumbs he looked down at them and then turned his gaze to the two girls it's nothing don't worry about it all right Naro told them with a soft smile on his face causing a light dusting of red to appear on Sasuke's cheek cheeks and causing natsumi's other brow to slowly raise before both dropped when the door opened Kusha is strolling in with a brilliant smile on her face her violet eyes instantly locking on to naam's Sapphire Eyes team seven with me at her call Naruto raised his head and looked at her the woman was wearing the standard Jen outfit though a black Katana sheath was on her back her red hair cascading down her back as well Naruto's observations were cut short when his team Rose to his right prompting him to rise as well line break team seven sat assembled on the roof of the academy which Naro quickly decided was a rather odd and inconvenient place to meet if it became a permanent one he leaned on a railing while his team sat on the roof Kusa standing before the trio with a proud smile on her face and her hands bald into fists pressing into her hips Naruto stared at her smile watching the way it creaked upwards with pride her her eyes shining with the same emotion whenever they passed over natsi he would have frowned but it wouldn't do anything he decided the favoritism that he knew would surface eventually was already showing he sighed rubbing his forehead slowly he was disappointed with the hok's decision of his team okay let's get some introducing out of the way I'll start Kush exclaimed loudly boisterously jabbing her thumb at herself when she finished cracking one eye open open as she smiled chily Naruto did not react though natsi smiled and Sasuke cracked a smirk the names Kush Uzumaki though I'm sure you definitely knew that my likes include manok kuin natsumi Chan and ramen I definitely hate perverts especially a certain one and anybody that would try to bring this world out of its peaceful State at her words Naruto frowned where was there peace in this world people still died to other people died early the fact that Shinobi existed at all was anything but peaceful what use would soldiers be in a truly peaceful world my hobbies include training and spending time with my family my dreams well they've already come true who's next Kusa finished with a pleasant smile that made Naruto angry how was she happy when the world was filled with people that she was supposed to hate her daughter was someone that was bringing the world out of a peaceful State even if the innoc natsi didn't mean to then Naruto frowned disappointed he himself was taking the next step to become a Shinobi this plunged Naruto into deep thinking why was he becoming a Shinobi he could have dropped out of the academy at any time yet he had stayed why it clashed with everything he had been thinking of lately everything he was beginning to believe in his frown deepened why was he even taking the next step he knew he wanted to bring peace but was becoming a Shinobi the way to do that and you kush's voice broke Naruto out of his musings prompting the boy to lazily raise his head and stare at his team huh oh I'm next well I suppose my name is Naruto I don't have a surname so don't bother my likes I guess I don't know thinking my dislikes that's easy I dislike hatred War everything the human race has become so so deeply seed into that it's hard for me to Envision a world of peace I don't really have any hobbies other than thinking and my dream I want to bring peace to this world true peace not this false imitation that it has set into Naruto finished his eyes shimmering with a fire that had not been a Light Within them for some time his team had grown silent at his words and Kush looked as if she was conflicted on something and she seemed to look at him with something akin to sadness she looked like she was trying to say something but she stopped shaking her head the same smile found its way onto her face well then now that that's out of the way meet me at training ground 7 suddenly she exploded in a puff of smoke revealing that she was a shadow clone the entire time line break Kusha found herself feeling a little unnerved as Naruto's royal purple eyes piercingly gazed into her own Violet irises she had just started the Bell test after giving her team a rundown of the rules and their goal and after she had started the timer she would be lying to you if she said she wasn't shocked to see Naruto just stand there staring at her you're not a smart one are you Kusha mocked trying to get a rouse out of the Curious Jen and hopeful that didn't try and run use whatever stealth he had to make a plan instead he frowned crossed his arms and just stood in front of her on the contrary kushan I believe I am the smart one in this situation you are a jonan on top of that you are an srank Shinobi no amount of attempted stealth on my part will allow me to actually hide from you no amount of planning will allow me to formulate a plan to beat you this test is no doubt a mere facade set to make us complete a hidden goal or requirement Perhaps it is to Simply impress our tutors and make them see our potential as jenin and if that is the case the best I can offer is to try and dismantle this false test and see it for what it really is Naruto suddenly narrowed his eyes as he continued his words succeeding in making Kusa uneasy actually I'm beginning to believe that this test is merely being administered as a mere formality just based on the placements on one hand we have an aiha Clan head's daughter on this team no doubt giving special training and a potential Prodigy like her brother Itachi and on the other hand we have the daughter of you an s-ranked Clan head but not only that she is the daughter of the yande Hokage no doubt she has been trained by you too so you being her Sensei you would already know of her prowess as her parents you wouldn't allow her to take these tests if she wasn't ready Naruto's frown from before returned slowly getting deeper and making darker trenches in his face as he continued in reality the only Oddball in this team placement is me but I suppose I placed low enough that I could have been given the Dead last moniker and in Tradition I would be placed with the two highest students no doubt natsi is one of them and it's fairly easy to imagine Sasuke being the other Naruto cracked a smirk before suddenly plopping down with a loud relaxed sigh on the ground slowly easing into a lying position with his arms behind his head it's not really a stretch to say we would pass this test even if we failed the main goal is it kushin aan and while yes I do see this as a way for you to get a grasp by on your student skill levels you are already intimately aware of natm and SAS is fairly obvious based on her clan and well to be truthful with you there is nothing I offer to the table other than a decent henge a slow karini and a pathetic bunin oh and my eyes have swirls in them now Naruto remarked before closing his eyes and sighing attempting to sleep Kusa stared at the only boy on her team of which his gender was the least differing thing about him he was the only one present with no surname the only one present who no longer had Parents the only one present who had no formal Shinobi training outside of the academy not to mention he was also the only one who seemingly refused to even try to accomplish the task of the test another thing that unnerved Kusa was the boy's deliberate an accurate tear down and dissection of the team's placement and the effects it would cause and while Kusa would like to tell herself she would never be a sense say who would show let alone house any favoritism towards any one's student she ultimately knew that if it came to saving her daughter or saving the other two jenin on her team she would choose her daughter and let the other two die and that thought itself ruined kush's perspective on her ability to teach the team of which she was utterly confident of beforehand the blonde continued to lay on the grass his arms nestled neatly underneath his head and his left eye lazily cracked open to gaze at the sky Naruto Kusa began prompting the boy to wrestle his one ey's attention away from the clouds and onto her own violet eyes while I understand you aren't as far along in your training as the girls Kusa decided those were the wrong words to use as soon as she saw the boys chest fall quickly in a sigh his eye roll back towards the sky and his right hand untangled itself from underneath his head to pull a bang away from his closed eye making the action pointless but that's the whole point of being taught under a in Sensei so won't you please get up and attempt the test if not for your Sensei for your teammates Kush urged wishing to break the mindset of worthlessness the boy had seemingly put himself into it was rather clear that the boy seemed to think little of himself in the Shinobi Arts the boys Jutsu surely couldn't be as bad as he thought they were Naruto cracked his eye open to gaze at her curious as to what purpose she was trying to fill with her words of encouragement he would have sighed if he was older clearly the woman was trying to make the boy believe he would receive enough training to at least put him on par with the others on his team which Naruto would believe had they refused to learn until he caught up and then allowed him to be granted a six-month lead Naruto was no longer prideful of himself and had come to see reason that he learned Shinobi Arts at a slightly below average pace something which was blatantly obvious by the amounts of studying and practical practice he had to put into passing the genine exam of which he passed barely come to think of it Naruto wondered if the Hokage had specifically ordered his graduation out of pity or perhaps he had ordered his graduation so he could place him on a team with his daughter and his good friend fak's daughter allowing Kusha their Sensei to specially train the two girls under the false pretense that Naruto was slower and pass him off to a subaran potentially even chunin instructor Naruto did sigh as got up feeling his knees pop slightly and his back to crack as he stretched a tired groan escaping his lips Naruto cursed his thought process which has actually made him feel worthless probably because the options he had presented himself didn't seem too far out there maybe with the exception that he would receive a TuneIn instructor within the next 6 months push it to eight and he wasn't so sure Uzumaki Sama Naruto raised a brow in curiosity at the slight Flinch he saw appear on kush's face at his even less formal title he called her by I know what you are doing trying to encourage me to participate well I suppose I can amuse you with that Naruto merely jogged into the woods and popped himself onto a branch of the Tree closest to the clearing allowing him to gaze at the woman but which would actually provide him an opportunity to help either natsi or Sasuke when the pair no doubt made their move on the bells either alone or together while he waited Naruto decided to ponder something where would he live now that the orphanage would no longer be legally required to house him it wasn't as if his team could fail this test making him a jenin and therefore a legal adult with natami the namic a was saddened by Naruto's words to her mother and attempted to persuade herself that he was wrong however she was hardpressed to prove his words wrong in her head she knew he was right but her heart wanted him to be wrong surely her mother of all people would be fair with her team then a thought broke natsumi's others her mother trained her every day after dinner that alone was favoritism her eyes got a little darker in sadness as she realized Sasuke also received said training if the conversations between her mother and Sasuke's mother were to be believed that brought another curious thought to natsumi's mind where did Naruto even live if he had no parents shaking her head natami decided she might as well finish this depressing train of thought and to do just that natmi rushed into the clearing with Sasuke Sasuke did not hear Naruto's words for she was too busy trying to find naty surely if the girls paired up they could get the bells and even though she had to smother down a frown at the thought of pushing Naruto to his failure her Pride as an AA and the need to prove herself to her father helped her drown those thoughts she ran around the Ring of the forest her eyes catching the sight of Naruto lazily swinging his leg from a tree by the clearing as she did so when she came around to where she thought she had seen natsi Dash into the forest she found herself staring at the back of the girl's redhead before she could say anything the namic's air dashed into the clearing prompting Sasuke to do the same the two girls exploded out of the forest and into the clearing nsm's hand flying into a cross sign with 15 Shadow clones puffing into existence around her and Kusha which prompted her mother to grip her Katana by its sheath and proceed to cut down all of the Clones with speed and strength Sasuke grabbed the real natsumi's shoulder and pulled her back slightly while the Clones distracted Kusha listen I think you and me need to work together to get those bells Sasuke began staring into natsumi's eyes intently the namic nodded her head briefly thinking about Naruto and almost went to talk to Sasuke about their third teammate before he mother came flying out of a massive smoke cloud just as memories of a painful blunt trauma death fluttered her mind duck Sasuke yelled grabbing natsi and dropping the pear to the ground as kush's foot flew past them however the woman remained planted in front of them natmi looked up to see her mother with her sword raised threateningly only for a shroud of heat and light coursed quickly over her mother's Visage was Sasuke's body flying forward fire spewing out of her mouth like a hose Kusha growled Out Swinging her sword quickly water chakra spewing out of her mouth and her sword forced it at the fire negating it before it could burn her Sasuke panted slightly while standing in front of natami protectively natsumi's eyes widened before she jumped up to Sasuke's side with her hands once more forming the cross Seal two clones popping into existence beside her Sasuke got another Fireball in you one clone signed to her with its back turned to Kusa while the real natsi and the other clone kept Kusa busy with Tai Jitsu incorporating kaari and Morag bun Shin to allow the real natsi to remain in good physical condition Sasuke nodded in confirmation while the Clone began to sign the plan to her nodding with a smirk Sasuke jumped into The Fray natami smirking and forming two more clones behind her with the one from before joining her Kusa smirked as well ah backing off I see admirable in this situation Kusha cockily stated swinging her Sheed Katana in her hand natsi glared at her mother quickly her and her three clones began to flash through hand science futon de tapa natmi and her clones shouted while Sasuke jumped up behind them and released a massive Fireball larger than the one she had sent before kush's eyes widened as the Flames overtook her entire form quickly she performed a kawarimi even as the fire continued and burned the forestry behind them prompting another pop of smoke to appear though dangerously closer to the fire than kush's had been appearing right where Kush had been was Naruto who had substituted with a larger stick that had been blown off a tree by the scuffle between Kush and natan's clones Naruto looked around acting surprised that he had ended up where he was despite being the one who had to perform the substitution looking down Naruto crouched and scooped up two small metal balls in his hand that made little chime noises as he stood up the Two Bells clanking together noisily making everyone present raise their eyes Kush because she did not believe the bells had fallen off of her waist Sasuke because she now worried about not graduating as Naruto would surely choose natami over her who had been mean to him and bullied him natsi worried because she did not realize that her and sas's Jutsu had been aimed at where Naruto looking at them and even jiggling his arm a little bit to make them chime Naruto stared within old shape forming his mouth uh I guess uh Naruto merely stared at the twin bells in his hand Kusa pushed past Sasuke and natami staring at Naruto how did you get those Naruto Kusa questioned Naruto looked at her and went to answer before natsi stepped forward me and Sasuke executed that conjoined Jutsu to mask my third clones Kai and its speed was enhanced by the two wi jutsus I used which propelled It Forward cutting the string on the bells before you had time to Karimi away however we did not know Naruto was in the tree behind you and he substituted with a large branch that had fallen on top of the Bells after the fight between you and clones I don't know how the wind Jutsu didn't affect it though natsumi looked at the ground and thought at this Kusa nodded before staring at Naruto well then Naruto who will pass with you and who will no longer be eligible for the Shinobi job Kusa questioned staring at Naruto the team passing relied on Naruto though unfortunately she knew no matter what he said the team would pass Naruto looked at the bells in his hand then back to his team Naruto personally believed that even asking the question was pointless and from the look on kush's face she believed so as well Sasuke looked utterly devastated perhaps she thought he would choose natsi over her had the rules said by Kusa actually been true he supposed that made sense given her need as the aiha clan head's daughter to be worthy and natsi on the other hand seemed to to some extent know that no matter what she was passing this test whether that was because she knew the team was bound to pass or she believed her father would just make her a Jenine if Naruto chose Sasuke Naruto did not know or bother to figure out with a slight huff and an exaggerated swing of his arm Naruto tossed the bells to the two girls on his team they can pass I'll find something to do so don't you worry about me being bored J any Naruto stuffed his hands in his pockets and with a mock two-fingered salute turned around and began to lazily walk away leaving the rest of Team seven shocked Kusa was even too shocked to say anything watching the boy leave before telling him that he had actually passed Naruto however merely walked onward eyes gazing at the clouds as he walked back into the village H maybe he'd get a job as a waiter or something in one of the many akimichi owned restaurants or perhaps he'd get a nice elderly caretaking job probably not as he needed food and he needed it soon the akimichi restaurants seemed better suited for him considering employees received free meals Naruto smiled carelessly as he walked onward and even hummed a little tune as he walked Naruto passed a certain J and who was leaning up against the side of a bookstore a new limited edition orange book in his right hand with his uncovered I scanning the pages before catching sight of the blonde hair which made him believe his Sensei had come to see him prompting him to drop his book and stare only to look on in disappointment as he saw the Little Orphan with the weird eyes actually this site intrigued Kakashi the Jan who was reading his newest book if he remembered correctly and he knew he did it was tradition for passing teams to either immediately train together or to have lunch with each other while the Sensei went to report that they had passed to the hokagay this intrigued Kakashi for the mere fact that by this little Bratz mere presence alone in the village it implied that natsumi's team had failed raising a brow in curiosity Kakashi stro forward I still blew to his book and eventually fell into stride with the blonde boy Naruto noticed Kakashi's presence but didn't react to it at all merely walking with his hands in his pockets observing the businesses and Market stalls they passed on their tranquil walk the blonde knew the man wanted something from him considering he had gotten up as soon as Naruto passed him but didn't know quite what it was he decided that if it was important the man would have asked by now so he left it alone and continued to walk even humming a little tune as he did So eventually Kakashi SED stuffing his book in his back pocket and pressing his hand to his brow Ridge do the youngsters of today not care if some random Shinobi not to mention stranger walks up behind them and then follows them Kakashi questioned the blonde who stopped and looked into the man's one eye with his swirled eyes which Kakashi found intriguing as well and personally belied they were a do Jitsu though which one they were he did not know which caused him to pass it off as weak seeing as he nor anyone else knew what they were or even what they did it seemed even the boy himself didn't know and had just believed his eyes had changed for no reason well Jon and San I happened to know that you are a koha Shinobi of rather high rank and reputation given that on multiple occasions I have seen you frequent the namic's household and even have gone to dinner with yand sama's family so unless you are going to tell me that I'm suddenly going to be assaulted I don't believe your presence is of any concern for my well-being Naruto explained casually causing Kakashi to sigh in exasperation well I guess my reputation precedes me Kakashi replied rather cockily even tilting his head rapidly as if his head had to adjust to the ego boost he had just experienced until Naruto chuckled and turned around returning to his walk actually J and San the hok's reputation precedes even you who is not said okag Naruto's cheeky reply caused Kakashi to deflate and cry a river of Tears before he joged to catch up with the boy after rapidly wiping his one visible eye now in all seriousness Jon and San I do believe you wanted something from me no Naruto glanced up at the silver-haired man to his right and began to ponder on exactly what it was he wanted perhaps Naruto had overe exaggerated the time it would take to assign Naruto a separate teacher out of pity surely or someone had noticed how pathetically long it took Naruto to even kawarimi he gazed up at the man who seemingly had one eye considering he concealed the other perhaps this man no longer had a use in the field and was being delegated Naruto as a student out of equal pity from the Hokage if that were the case Naruto decided he would quit being a Shinobi to preserve both of their dignities Kakashi nodded at Naruto's words scratching the top of his head lightly aha well I was wondering if your team passed the Jen and test Kakashi questioned staring with his cycloptic eye at Naruto's duel swirls said blonde stared up at the jonen before smirking lightly almost unnoticeable well jonan S I do believe we would have all passed to be a team in the first place though I must confess I had a rather hard time passing the bunch in portion and I am glad that IA C Sensei took pity on my current situation and passed me though to be truthful I almost wonder if it would have worked out better for me if he hadn't Naruto admitted truthfully thinking on his need to find a stable job so he could at least eat every day now Kakashi further side at his words once more flailing his arms in annoyance G you know what I mean the real Jen in test the one administered by your J and Sensei Kakashi muttered in exasperation glaring with an annoyed glean at the blonde who once more stroe forward with no stop a light bulb seemingly appeared over Naruto's head a it well to be honest with you I don't think that question is really warranted by you or anyone for that matter I mean let's be real here Jon and San would the hok allow his daughter or the daughter of one of his closest friends the aiha clan head to fail the test and have to retake the final year of the academy not even that would the mother of one of her jenin allow the team to fail Naruto chuckled as he walked away from a far Kakashi come on JN and San look underneath the underneath right with that Naruto disappeared into the crowd of koha citizens a bewildered Kakashi left in his wake it had been a short two weeks since Naruto and the rest of Team seven had passed kush's genen in test with only Sasuke and natsi seeming to gain positive emotions out of the ordeal while Naruto merely Shrugged his shoulders with the corners of his mouth pulled inward slightly Naruto's living Arrangement was not really an arrangement at all really he had taken to life on the streets rather well actually with not a single clue as to what he would do he returned to the orphanage initially hoping to be allowed to stay until he had a stable life and actual shelter most likely in the form of an apartment however he was disappointed as upon arrival and after explaining his situation the orphanage workers sadly shook their head and said they could not allow him to do that however they did allow him to keep the blank blanket and pillow he had used before as well as offering him the ability to return weekly to wash his laundry Naruto smiled happily at the lady who offered this to him and shook her hand with a hearty grip though as he exited with a large comforter and pillow in hand he then realized he had nowhere to actually put the items let alone sleep and slash on which a word was right so Naruto wandered around town with many raising a brow or two at what was in his hands but not saying anything Naruto suspected they knew what his situation was by the look of his slightly ragged clothing a simple black shirt with gray shorts and chobby sandals and the bundle of bedding he was carrying Naruto also suspected that they were purposefully avoiding helping him though he was Keen to point out to himself that it was almost a tradition to pass by the homeless as few as they were that riddled koha's markets which at the thought a light bulb went off in his head making the blonde smile softly and Nod his head there had to be a reason the homeless gathered primarily around the market section of kenova's layout and he assumed it had to do with the businesses there open stalls with fresh food hanging out in the open he wasn't saying they were stealing though he wasn't going to say that a tomato or two falling off a stand hurt anybody thankfully 2 Days Later Naruto was able to find employment in an akimichi barbecue restaurant as a waiter a job which Naruto found that he enjoyed whether it was simply taking a compliment or even the thank you he received on daily basis Naruto was pleased not to mention his ability to balance multiple things on his arms or in his hands increased marginally and since the restaurant was Shinobi owned Naruto wasn't forced to choose between his Shinobi career and his job there with his managers basically just filling in time for employees whenever available members of the akimichi clan made up a large portion of the workforce and with the numerous missions they go on the restaurants they worked in had to be able to accommodate which was why numerous civilians had worked in the akimichi chains as well initially Naruto wasn't going to be able to get a job since he was a Shinobi and they expected that the cash flow would be enough for him however after explaining his situation not to mention Kusha had dropped a metaphorical bomb on him when she explained that she wouldn't start even drank missions until two months of training the akimichi who hired him wiped a tear and shook his hand a firm grip and a toothy grin welcoming Naruto to the akimichi workforce with an above minimum wage salary with tips given to him as well I'm not even going to bother mentioning money amounts even when Naruto is purchasing or selling something at any point because personally as both a reader and a writer I feel that a foreign currency doesn't really hold any meaning in a story that's roots or Home Country don't use said currency So within the two weeks he had worked Naruto had met managed to get enough money to eat for about a month and one half if he paced his purchases and rationed food though his main way to eat right now was the meal the Aimes gave him before each shift he worked which was a 4 to 10 p.m. shift every day with his daily training sessions being 7 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. every day narut found that he settled into routine fairly easily and comfortably during his work shifts Naruto had met a wide array of people one of which he saw nearly every day dressed in a long tan Overcoat which covered a fishnet shirt and an orange skirt with spiky purple hair the bangs of which were held up by a koha headband was ankko mirashi Dango lover and snake Summoner Naruto had learned quickly that while the barbecue stand hosted by the akimichi wasn't explicitly meant a Dango stand as ankko always referred to it as the woman frequented it almost daily simply to get an order of Dango and to speak to the manager a kimichi woman who worked there every day without fail no longer wanting to live the Shinobi life through watching the other customer's eyes narrow or widen at her entrance to the restaurant as well as listening to the whispered mutterings as he neared them with a plastic smile and a plate full of food held on his left shoulder Naruto learned that she was somewhat of a pariah due to her connection with the traitorous snake sine Oro chimaru she had been his Apprentice was Naruto's inferred hypothesis Naruto passed off this hypothesis and decided not to act on it or The Whispers he heard about her as he worked his shifts preferring to stay out of others business and instead focus on making enough money to eat eventually however anko did not come for 3 days which had affected his manager if her constant checking of the front door for something was to be taken into account after the third day however anko did stroll in rather slowly and with an odd gate before slumping into a bar stool and leaning her head down onto her arms unfortunately for anko it seemed the manager had not arrived to work that day and Naruto believed it was for her sister's baby delivery based on the excited rambling from his akimichi co-workers seeing the purple-haired woman slump forward on the bar stool without ordering her daily Dango almost worried the young blonde jennin whilst cleaning the bar with a white rag Naruto happened to pass by the woman rag in hand going round and round in circles by her the pupiless eyes followed his movements before suddenly dashing up to meet his eyes Naruto could see it within them swirling dangerously she was scared fearful saddened narut wondered if it was a stretch to say that she was depressed deciding it was because the manager wasn't here for anko to talk to considering the woman seemed to have waited was it half an hour now Naruto decided to talk to her you'll have to Excuse Me Miss but I'd like to inform you that the manager Choo isn't n here today I believe her sister is delivering her baby as we speak Naruto informed her meeting her eyes while he spoke before dropping them back to the rag and continuing cleaning the bar after a few seconds anko leaned forward quickly and grabbed his sleeve Naruto turned to look at her though she seemed skittish almost Nar thought that was odd considering her rather blazing attitude not to mention attire yes Miss Naro questioned looking at her aam seek an i she looked down pondering something before Naruto saw her shake her head and then raise her eyes to him a determined almost light in her eyes can I have an order of sake anko questioned the boy looking at her Naruto ignored her and looked back at his rag as anko's arm dropped Folding It Up neatly and placing it behind him right where the sake was placed before taking two steps towards ankle interlocking his fingers together and leaning onto the bar with his elbows staring into her eyes anko found that the Troubles of her life seemed to fade away swirling down into the pupil of his eye encouraged by the swirls within his Scara anko sand anko perked up at this having lost her thoughts within the depths of his violet eyes I don't believe it would be a good idea for you to drink right now Naruto explained staring into her eyes noting the disheveled and rugged look of her hair that he had missed before she then narrowed her eyes and furrowed her brows angrily what it doesn't matter what you think I'm a paying customer and you will bring out a sweet of sake for me to drown down anko growled at him gritting her teeth and flashing them a spark of chakra erupting around her body in Anger the chakra Spike had irritated the curse mark on the back of her shoulder causing her to sharply intake some air and hastily grip her shoulder rubbing it Naro caught this action but didn't react to it simply p ing a glass of sake and returning to standing in front of anko swirling the glass in his hand anko s his calling of her name caused the woman to remove her hand from her shoulder and looked at him her eyes glancing down at the shot in his hand thank you dash Naruto pulled the glass back from her nabbing hand and took a sip for himself sighing after he drank it anko growled at this leaning forward angrily she snarled at him listen kid I get it that you might not like me because of my teaching under Oro chimaru but I'm rather good friends with choo and if you don't Dash I am aware of both your friendship with choo and your apprenticeship under Oro chimaru and frankly ankoan I care about neither of them his words while sounding rude shocked anko and she listened to him leaning back slowly and sitting down with widened if suspicious eyes then why won't you give me my drink anko asked still a little angry that she wasn't getting what she wanted swirling the drink Naruto's own swirls watching the liquid he then replied well it's rather simple really I can tell you're sad depressed even it's your eyes that are telling me this as well as your posture and actions you didn't burst into her brazenly calling out to Cho chosan your chest waving everywhere as you deliberately allowed the Overcoat you wear to fall a little past your shoulders allowing them more exposure for people to look at while you pretend to care nor did you immediately ordered Ango you also slumped forward on the bar and even held back tears in the slight wetness to your eyes as anything to go by really all I'm leading to is with a flourish Naruto drank the rest of the drink and slammed it down behind him shaking his head before leaning forward and staring into ankle's surprised eyes drinking won't help you solve whatever issues you're having ankle s and while you might think they will now I think we both know they won't and without Choo here to listen to and comfort you I think I can take the Reigns this once and help out a fellow Shinobi with her struggles don't you think Naruto watched as his words sunk in watching the way anko's face randomly constricted and her skin was pulled before her eyes narrowed in obvious suspicion oh yeah and what struggles would you happen to be going through squirt girl troubles sense they not letting you take a sank Mission parents not buying you that k i that you want anko mocked her words doing nothing to falter Naruto's gaze before the blonde side untangling his hands and draping one down the left side of his face anko noting that the Violet swirls in his eye extended past the point where one couldn't see the eye anymore stretching behind his eye well ankoan none of those are true to begin my parents were murdered at his words anko's eyes widened and she went to apologize though Naruto continued and I almost was too some crazed Maniac had just wandered in waving a knife everywhere while my parents and one of their friends backed away in horror I was asleep at the time I woke up to screams when I came out three bodies lited the floor of my house and I passed out in shock when I came to I could only see the moon through a window the murdered had propped me up my head leaned back and the knife dripping blood onto my forehead real freaky dude I tell you Naruto SED rubbing his forehead and appearing far older than he was was I had forgotten even who I was or what I was doing all I remember is that I saw the Moon it almost seemed comforting like I had known the moon shaking his head and chuckling Naruto looked back up at anko anyway before I knew it I was in a crater I don't know how it happened but the hok seems to think it's related to these swirls I've got in my eyes now Naruto lazily pointed a finger at his eyes though the guy he was supposed to call to come look at my eyes hasn't arrived within a whole year so well I don't think that's happening anytime soon regardless I found myself orphaned with no home to return to within a single night not to mention I don't have my dazzlingly gorgeous blue eyes anymore instead I've got these creepy purple eyes that make me look crazy all the time since they've got rings in m dot Naruto's exaggerated words made anko chuckle slightly her hand daintily raising to cover her mouth as she giggled and well a year later I graduated the academy and got placed with the hokage's daughter and the aiha clan head daughter and you know what Naruto looked at anko wondering if he should be telling some random woman potentially twice his age his problems before shaking his head with a grin and dropping it I was disappointed with the hok's team placements could you imagine that disappointed with the two strongest jenin and an s-rank kunoichi the hok's wife and Uzumaki Clan had not to mention as a Sensei but I suppose it was because I felt that I didn't fit with them it wasn't because I wasn't good enough but I knew I just knew that I wouldn't be taught properly the signs of favoritism don't even have to be looked for I mean my Sensei is the [ __ ] mother of my teammate and I know damn well that the aiha clan head won't just let his daughter get trained by some jonan even if she is s ranked so boom my two teammates are getting extra training even though they were both already leagues ahead of me in the Shinobi Arts Naruto chuckled slumping down onto the bar and looking down after a long 2 minutes of silence Naruto looked back up want to know something anko the woman nodded softly staring was that attempted Comfort he saw in her eyes at him it's pretty strange to see a fresh Jen and working a civilian job no Naruto watched as ankle pondered it tapping her chin actually yeah it does seem kind of weird why are you working anko questioned staring at him curiously awaiting an answer Naruto smirked why he was was a mystery to him considering he shouldn't be smirking for having more issues well as you know once you've got that headband Naruto nodded his head indicating the koha head band around anko's head you're a legal adult but what you probably don't know is that legal adults can't be housed within orphanages anymore and I can't work at my age unless I've got a headband like that which means I was double [ __ ] because I couldn't work to save up money to buy a place or even food before I was kicked out of the orphanage Naruto watched as tears nearly came to anko's eyes and the woman attempted to lean forward to hug him but Naruto placed his hand on her collar bone softly pushing her away F seeing her questioning look Naruto smiled softly at her shaking his head you don't have to try and comfort me ankko I just told you my problems so that you wouldn't feel like it's only happening to you I know at least for me Naruto turned around and leaned his elbows on the bar no longer looking at anko knowing someone else also has it rough helps me anko smiled and heard the little squeak the bar stool made as she stood up as well as the loud footsteps she took out indicating that she had her Brazen attitude back though anko didn't see Naruto casually wipe away a bit of dirt under his eye and look at the little moistness that had followed his finger almost as if it didn't belong there Naruto hummed lowly to himself as he sat with his legs curled his knees pressing into the dirt in front of a white fence his hands hidden within yellow gloves plastered with little specks of dirt that littered the surface falling off and being added to as his hands dug into the earthy soil beneath him gripping onto small Tangles of roots and pulling them out careful to not disturb the larger wanted Roots nestled around them yes Naruto was pulling weeds what are you doing a feminine voice snarled to his far right Naruto continued pulling the weeds beneath him still happily humming away don't yell at me what are you doing another feminine voice yelled to his right causing Naruto to close his eyes and sigh his hum stopping completely yes team seven was completing their fourth dranked Mission significantly behind teams such as Team 8 who had completed 22 D ranks and team 10 with 23 Naruto of course did not mind knowing that the two-month period Kusha had taken to exclusively training her team was the reason for this difference in Mission counts however what Naruto did care about was the pay so far with only four missions he had made about 1.5x more than he would have in four days of working at the restaurant putting those two values together nearly tripled his income Naruto speculated that within a month he would be able to afford a down payment on an apartment and 6 months rent paid in advance this thought made Naruto smile happily no longer would he leave work to find himself sitting in an alley a block away however he also wouldn't be able to hear the stories of the homeless bobi and civilian and no longer would he be able to see them smile when he would bring them portions of dinners he was given from Choo for them to eat Naruto grunted as a piece of dirt managed to hit his right shoulder prompting the boy to lazily cast his head over towards the pair of girlss that were viciously forcing their fingers into the dirt and forcefully pulling the roots out Naruto side and shook his head looking down to watch his own slower and more careful movements which eliminated any possibility that the plants being weeded would be affected by said action regardless Naruto wasn't the one paying for such Reckless actions and decided to not open his mouth a frail old lady nodded happily an hour later observing how the weed Sur surounding her beautiful roses had been pulled properly doting on Naruto about his extremely neat and near perfectly pulled weeds Naruto laughed heartily rubbing the back of his head while the woman expressed how Exquisite his actions were deciding to pay him extra for his good work causing Sasuke and natsi to groan quietly their soil had been hastily packed in and roughly thrown back where it was whereas Naruto's looked no different than it did when they arrived well thank you so much for pulling these weeds for me youngsters I just can't get down low enough these days haha the woman said as she turned around entering her house once more bidding the team goodbye all right good job team seven Mission pulling weeds is complete Kusha shouted happily causing Naruto to clap lightly while the other two girls merely dead panned at Kush sweat dropping at her team's attitude she then turned around and began leading them back to the hok Tower Naruto smiled serenely as he and his casually walked throughout koha observing the civilians as they passed all of whom smiled happily to Kusha and his teammates meanwhile natsi and Sasuke conversed about things that Naruto could only ponder about considering they almost never included him in their conversations as they walked Naruto noticed a similar face gjin akimichi a fellow co-worker a Naruto how's it going buddy digon announced loudly as he exited a donut shop that team seven had passed prompting Naruto's team to turn around to face the akimichi ah hello G and Quin my day is going well me and my team are heading to the hok's office to finish a mission how is it going for you today Naruto questioned politely soft voiced and soft eyed gjon smiled with his eyes closed the corners of his mouth reaching the corners of his eyes while he held a glazed donut in his left hand haa everything going great for me Naruto when do you work on Saturday gim questioned staring at Naruto curiously Naruto sighed in an exasperated manner Choo has me working an extra 2 hours so I'll get off at midnight Naruto explained staring up at the older not to mention wher male with an exasperated expression his right arm coming up to drag along his face gon laughed heartily taking a large bite out of his donut and throwing his arm onto nut's shoulder I don't worry Naruto Choo is probably going to pay you time and a half we all sympathize with your situation how long do you think it'll be before you can be stable now that you're taking D ranks with your team gjin questioned with genuine concern in his eyes that Naruto found he liked seeing Oh around a month I think if Choo keeps giving me extra hours I might be able to do it in around two weeks or so Naruto replied proudly his chest puffing up slightly gjon's smile returned perhaps even wider before he Pat nut's back and finished his donut that's incredible Naruto wek be sure to have a celebration at your new dig yeah gjon replied patting Naruto's back once more after the blonde nodded before waving and walking away shaking his head with a smile Naruto turned around to face the Curious faces of his team ignoring them deciding that if they had a question they would ask Naruto looked to Kusha you didn't have to wait for me Sensei just a conversation with a coworker you know Naruto waved her off seeing as he had held up the team Kusha nodded her head before Sasuke narrowed her eyes at Naruto wouldn't we be your co-workers Naruto Sasuke interrogated him a dangerous gleam in her eyes for reasons Naruto decided he wouldn't question looking at her Naruto shook his head well I guess you would but I've been working at the akimichi barbecue bar since we became a team not everybody's got a house to go home to after training ends SASE s Naruto ched almost as if he was the girl's mother this caused kush's eyes to widen wait Naruto kin do you not have a home after seeing the boy shake his head her eyes widened once more won't the orphanage let you stay there you're not even 15 Kush exclaimed now deeply bothered by her students situation Naruto smirked and and furrowed his brows no of course not Sensei the orphanage can only help Miners and as soon as he passed your test we became adults I walked away from the Bell test a homeless guy and still am thankfully I got a job at the barbecue bar otherwise I don't know how I'd be able to eat Naruto said with a smile that natsi decided shouldn't be on his face as he spoke of such things kush's face exploded into worry well Naruto you can stay with us I'm sure manado wouldn't mind and you wouldn't either right natsi Kusa questioned her daughter with a glare and tone that said your only answer is yes natsi nodded quickly with sincerity In Her Eyes of course I'd be happy to help you Naruto natsi exclaimed happily Sasuke stepped forward staring at Naruto my family can help you too Naruto Sasuke offered kolie though they all looked at Naruto as he smiled and shook his head a NOA I can't bear to be a burden besides I'll be able to afford an apartment in about a month as you've heard me tell gunun if I needed the help I would have asked don't worry I appreciate that all of you would be willing to help me but I was raised with a mentality of self-reliance his words had been a lie his parents had never raised him with something quite the opposite in fact they had set examples of receiving gifts and then thinking the other was something of equal value however Naruto had no longer wanted to feel like a burden as he had already began to feel as Kusa had to take time away from advancing natsi and Sasuke's teaching to ensure that Naruto understood the concepts well enough to be truthful Naruto decided that while he liked the people on his team he hated being on their team at the same time he had underestimated just how much faster the two girls were at picking things up than he was Kusha had tempted to teach the pair water walking simply assuming Sasuke knew tree walking since natami knew and expecting Naruto to know as well when she mentioned that the technique was very similar to the tree walking exercise Naruto stayed silent preferring to not hinder the girls ability to learn the Shinobi Arts by forcing Kusha to get him caught up to speed whereas the girls were able to stay on the water for around 15 to 30 seconds their first attempt Naruto waited into the water and didn't even stick to the water surface whereas the girls were able to master the technique within a week Naruto still could not stick to the water's surface within that same week Naruto pretended not to care about his inability as a Shinobi nor did he show how much it had hurt him that Sasuke groaned and complained to natsi that they had to wait natsi voicing her agreement stating that others are slower than us SAS Chan their words stung though Naruto took the pain with a Serene smile on his face and calm eyes even when his Sensei of all people seemed frustrated with his progress eventually giving in and taking the girls to a separate clearing to teach them more advanced techniques that Naruto clearly wasn't ready for when Naruto had watched their backs Fade Into the forest he sighed sitting down and slumping forward his elbows on his thighs and His Hands bald into fists that held up his head pressing into his jaw while he closed his eyes and listen to the soft waves of the river he did not notice that he had been sitting on the water as he did this line break nagato no longer pain in his Slumber stared at the man that sat across from him the only similarity between the pair being the Rings within their eyes nagato brought his left knee up his foot resting on the Eternal Black floor that made up what was apparently his mind and rested his left arm on it leaning back slightly the man across mirrored his posture and looked down between his legs nagato had come to treasure the Little Talks he had with the man across from him every time he slept while he did not know it his Outlook and mentality was slowing shifting due to the man's presence within his mental space the man he had come to know as both Naruto and hago as he had been told his names were slash was raised his head the odd combination of spiky blonde and tan hair falling slightly as he did so the wrinkles of his face sagging as well hello nagado the man greeted with a slight smile likewise what should I call you today nagato began as he always did the man brought a hand up to rub his chin before looking at nagato haaro Sai it seems he has not been transitioning well now named hago answered nagato looking down sadly nagato nodded his head the man had been referring to his so-called transmigrant whose life had apparently been flipped completely upside down when hago began to merge fuse take over whatever the proper term was with him not only had he lost his parents something that nagato could sympathize with but he had also been questioning everything he did or noticed something nagato could not sympathize with unfortunately it seemed that the boy despite supposedly holding the renan a fact that made nagato believe that Hagar ro/ Naruto was a figment of his imagination since he had heard of no other renan holders was struggling to learn the Shinobi Arts due to his currently conflicted mindset what confused hago was that the boy would pick up the Shinobi Arts when he unconsciously performed them but until that point if he tried to learn them he failed to do so making hago believe that the mental barrier that was capping the boy's potential was rather potent Hagar Roo often question nagato wondering if he should make himself known to the boy and hopefully straighten quite a few things out but nagato also told him it was his decision which always stalled the man's thoughts on presenting himself to well himself in a sense the two despite being the same person had two drastically different backgrounds and stories to tell and despite sharing similar mindsets hago questioned whether or not his will was simply overcoming the weaker less developed will of Naruto forcing the boy to begin adapting his mentality and belief however Hagar Romo also expressed that he believed that the clash between Wills had also been causing the boy's mentality to churn and twist making it different than hagos perhaps was age the man had grunted out once after a sigh has his situation gotten any better nagato questioned referring to the boy's current homelessness and day-to-day livelihood shaking his head in a negative Hagar Roo elaborated he still has no home to return to though he believes he will have enough money to within a month or so despite being offered help by multiple people including his team and an entire Clan he refuses the help lying to them about an upbringing that he didn't experience the boy thinks of himself as a burden and has even begun to lie to his Sensei about understanding concepts just so that his teammates can move on and learn new things the boy is selfless to an almost dangerous extent you know the man chuckled slightly he even pondered on whether or not getting a home for himself was a good idea knowing he would miss the stories that the homeless tell him before he sleeps or that he would make them feel inadequate the boy has trouble feeding himself and he still worries about others more than himself Hagar stated with an exasperated grin nagado nodded his head despite the boy's troubles he seemed to be growing into quite the admirable man has anyone discovered the eyes he holds nagato had been meaning to ask the question for a while feeling a need to know whether or not hago or the boy he spoke of were real it had been troubling him for quite a long time looking up Hagar most swirls swinging in syn with nagato's own the older man shook his head and looked down with a downcast shadow forming on his face no the boy himself believes his eyes are merely a reminder of his parents own death believing that his world had been skewed to the point that even his eyes are twisted the boy is miserable and he doesn't even know it hago replied making nagato nod his head before hago said something that caused nagato's eyes to widen slightly God Hokage said he'd call in an expert to check the eyes but he hasn't arrived in koha in over a year and the boy believes that the Hokage has completely forgotten about him the boy in general doesn't seem to care about himself which is admirable to a degree Hagar stated offhandedly meanwhile nagato began to wonder if there was more to his dreams than he had first believed chapter end
