Naruto tried to shrug the feeling off, but he couldn't. He continued walking through the village until he felt that something was off. "Why can't he be more like Nauko-sama and Menma-sama?" the villagers said, but Naruto ignored them. "How can Kushina-sama and Minato-sama have such a weak child?" Naruto walked into through the village as he was glared at by the villagers, "Would you look at that, the runt of the litter comes out of his home," Naruto left the Namikaze Compound without a word as his parents bid him goodbye. They called themselves Shinobi and yet they couldn't tell the difference between a real and fake smile. Naruto gave a smile back, but it was a fake one. Naruto took it as he looked at his parents, who gave him warm smiles. how about this, you go out and play for a while? Here, get yourself something, eh?" he continued as he handed Naruto some money. "No, I'm afraid not," Minato said with a sigh, "we're sorry, Naruto. "Yes, son, you see, you're brother and sister, they need help," Minato explained "N-no, sweetheart! That's not it at all!" Kushina said, "Listen, w-we're just worried," oh, how do I put it? Kushina, help me out here," Minato asked his wife, who too was struggling to find the right words "W-why do they get Shinobi weapons and I get a book?" Naruto asked again I could only stare at it as Kaa-chan and Tou-san seemed to give audible gulps as I held the book in my hands, "Why?" I asked. A book called 'The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi'. Kaa-chan handed me my present, and as I opened it. I was excited too, as I saw them pull out Kunai and katana. "Naruko, Menma, I have something for you two," Tou-san said as he pulled out two presents from behind his back, "Happy Birthday!" "Good, you're here!" Kaa-chan said with a smile "Come on you three!" Tou-san said as we all hurried over to them Brushing myself off, I saw Tou-san and Kaa-chan call us over, "Menma! Naruko! Naruto!" Kaa-chan cried out I grunted as I swatted away his hand and stood on my own two legs. "Come on, Naruto! Get up!" Menma said with a smile as he extended his hand to help me up. Every time, I'm always getting my butt kicked,' ' Urgh, I hate this,' I thought to myself, ' I'm tired of being the bad guy. I tried my best to defend myself, but it didn't work out so well, "Haha! The bandit is defeated, thanks to your Shinobi Hero Menma Naimkaze!" Menma shouted at the top of his lungs Soon after she said that I saw Menma charging at me, using the Hummingbird Flashing-Fist that Tou-san had taught him. Every time she wanted to play, I ended up being the bandit. "Alright! Me and Menma will be Shinobi and you'll be a bandit!" Naruko stated, making me sad.
It's not often that she invited me to play with her, so why not? I gave her a small smile as I said: "Sure!"
Now, they only do it for their own gain, "Hey! Naruto-kun! Let's play Shinobi!" Naruko said as I looked at her. Back when the 1st and 2nd Hokages were in office, Shinobi lived and died for the village. People die here and for what? Because it's right? No, it's because they're in it for the money. Grass grows, birds fly, and this place is hell.
