Fourth's House

I don't like waking early in morning especially waking up due to nightmares, well I can't do much about it. "Now that I have woken up, let's start the day without wasting much time". I straightened up and opened the orphanage window, taking in fresh air. I sat on my bed and started concentrating on my breathing and my surroundings. I have been doing this for the past year because I had nothing else to do.

During the couple of previous years, I found out many interesting things, first I found about my parents, well being the only Uzumaki in the whole village and also knowing that the fourth hokage' s wife was Uzumaki and fourth hokage stone face matching mine, can make things pretty easy. So, my father was Minato Namikaze and my mother was Kushina Uzumaki... Wow having a hokage as a father should improve your life very much but that was not possible in my case. Second, I also researched about Konoha and understood about its history and previous kages and its pillars. The oldest clans of the village were Senju, Uchiha and Hyuga followed by many other smaller clans like Yamanaka, Nara, but those three were the prominent clan.

I don't like leaving my room as it leads to unknown problems and trouble for me. I don't know why but the villages look at me with hate, anger, loath and disgust, many villagers look at me as if they want to kill me, the looks they give me sometimes make me wonder if I had played very nasty prank on them but I have no such memory, if you are wondering how I am able to tell this all, well you are in luck I will tell you, I have been always able to tell people's felling, I can also tell that three people are always tailing me , two people with bored feelings and one more guy with no emotion, this was possible due to concentrating on my breathing and surrounding, because of this I was able to calm myself, I could think clearly and in all my mental age increased. Physically I am 5 years but mentally I can do things and behave like 10 years old. After concentrating for about an hour I opened my eyes and freshened up to leave for training ground 3 to meet my one and only friend 'Rock Lee'

Four months back when I was roaming the outer parts of forest, searching for small pray to eat, I came across him. I watched him for some time to see what he was doing. He was constantly training to improve his body strength, when I questioned him why he was doing such harsh training at such a young age, he didn't respond, but some unknown reason we became friends.

After that we did all the training together, is what I would like to say but I was always lying on grass after doing only a part of his training regime, his training regime included 50 rounds running around Konoha followed by 100 push ups, 100 squats, then punching and kicking wooden logs until you can't move your body. This made me wonder what kind of monster you have to be to do such hard training, but following his training method I was able to get stronger little by little.

In the past four months I learned a lot about him, the most surprising detail was that he couldn't use ninjutsu or genjustu, well not like I could use any either, and also, I was the only friend he had. We used all our energy training and if after doing such training any time was left, we used to talk.

This peaceful routine continued till I turned 6, on my 6th birthday I was kicked out of the orphanage. Well, this was not quite shocking as I could have guessed this would have happened sooner or later. But still this snapped me, this forced me to take matters in my hand, I have to meet the hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen

I was looking outside towards the village, I have done all the paper work for the day so I was relaxing. I was admiring the beauty of Konoha when an anbu informed me that Uzumaki Naruto will like to meet me. I took a deep pull from the smoking pipe and let out a sigh, I was always dreading about this day, when I would have to answer the boy.

I straightened on my seat and told the anbu to let the boy in. I was greeted by an angry boy. I didn't know the reason why he was angry, but nonetheless I listened to his story quietly, after some minutes of listening I understood that he was kicked out of orphanage, I suggested him to move to a new house which I would arrange for him, I also told him that I would give him monthly rations and money for him to live independently, but what he told, shocked me, "So you are saying you want to live in fourth Kage's house, but why?"

"Old man, you don't have to act as you don't know the reason, he was my father so being his only son I have the right to stay at his home, and also I had the right to be considered as equals to other children but I don't know why the other villagers look at me as if I am demon, wherever I go they throw spoiled food at me, if I have to buy something I would have pay very high price and many a times they don't even let me even enter the shops, I wouldn't say everything is your fault but DAMN... YOU ARE THE HOKAGE OF THE VILLAGE YOU SHOULD DO SOMETHING." The words spoken by the boy hurt me very much, I was the hokage of the village but still I was useless, If only I could give the orders according to my wish but my old comrades always found ways to stop me from doing so and when questioned they would label it with the tag 'for Konoha', thinking about this I again let out a deep sigh. "Naruto from now onwards you are allowed to use Minato Namikaze house, additionally at the starting of each month I would send an anbu to you with monthly rations, clothes and necessary things. Go to hokage building gate an anbu would give you the keys and directions for the house" As I said these words I saw genuine smile on his face, that warmth filled smile made my heart feel heavy, and made me think again what the HELL am I doing. He is such a young child and still he has to face such hardships due to my indecisiveness. After he left the office, I called the anbu and told him to punish all the people who were responsible for kicking Naruto out of orphanage and also to inform all elders to meet me.

Naruto Uzumaki

'Wow I never would have thought that manipul.. *cough* convincing the hokage would be so easy, well I did surprise him by telling him about my parents but still it was easy', I thought as I was walking towards my new home. 'Well I think I let my acting slip with that last smile but thinking about it the hokage was very happy seeing my smile, well what can I do hhhuuu.... I am so cute.' I entered my new home and did a takeback at how neatly the house was arranged expect for dust, everything was properly arranged. I took a tour of the house, it was not very big nor small it was perfect size and was giving a cozy feeling, it had three rooms with one kitchen. After the tour I cleaned a single room to rest and sleep and started forming plans for future.
