2.
7 years after the Kyubi’s attack, a boy with spiky brown hair and warm brown eyes was sitting on the swing in the backyard of the Namikaze estate watching his parents, Minato and Kushina teach his older twin sister Karin chakra control, this was Naruto.
Naruto watch the 3 train with a longing look on his face. Ever since Naruto could remember, his parents and sister had always treated him differently, like they were afrade of him. They hadn’t even included him in their training session. Naruto also notice that he didn’t look anything like his parents or twin sister. He didn’t have the red hair and violet eyes like his mother and Karin and he didn’t have the blond hair and blue eyes like his father.
Suddenly, Naruto felt a gentle hand rest on his shoulder, interrupting his thoughts. Naruto looked up and his warm brown eyes met a pare of bluish violet eyes. He saw the person’s blond hair catch the sunlight as they smile warmly at him. Menma Ni San. Uzumakey Menma, the oldest child of Namikaze Minato and Uzumakey Kushina. Menma was 12 years old. Otodo.
would you like to come with me today? I’m going to see Itachi and Shisue, I think Itachi is going to bring his younger brother to. Naruto smiled and nodded. Menma smiled at Naruto, grabbed Naruto’s hand and they left the Namikaze estate, without Minato, Kushina or Karin noticing, not like they would care.
As they walked through the vilage, Menma shielded Naruto from the glares of the villagers. Why don’t the vilagers like me ni San? Naruto ask. Menma looked down at his otodo with a smile. You know why Naru. But Kurama’s not that bad. You’ve talked to him? Menma asked. Naruto let out a soft sigh. Yea, he can be nice when he wants to be, and Kurama said that he was being controlled on the night he attacked. Not everyone know’s that, what people don’t know, they fear. Menma said.
they arrived at training ground 8 to see Itachi, Shisu and another boy with long brown hair and cool brown eyes. When Naruto saw the boy, he felt a jolt. This boy looked familiar, but Naruto couldn’t say why.
Itachi was the first to noticed them and gave them a warm smile. Menma, you brought Naruto with you. Shisu said. Yes Shisu, I did, and I see you brought Sasuke. Menma said to Itachi. Itachi smiled and flicked Sasuke on the forehead. Tachi Ni. Sasuke wined. Naruto smiled at Sasuke, who returned a slight smile. How about you two get to know each other, while the 3 of us talked? Shisu said. The two boys nodded and sat a few feet away from the older Shinobi. As Sasuke and Naruto sat their in silence, they didn’t know that destiny was unfolding, yet.
