Chapter 4 - Uzumaki Naruto

(Training Ground 20)

Crouching on the ground, I stared at the blonde haired boy with fox whiskers marred his cheeks laying on the ground seemingly unconscious.

"Oi~" I poked him with a stick trying to wake him up, I didn't feel any anbu's around me. Did the kid lose them? The Blonde hair boy is none other then Uzumaki Naruto Konoha's Kyubi container , the loud ass brat that keeps destroying everyone's eardrum by shouting out his dreams of becoming a Hokage.

*Growling*

"Blink"

"Blink"

Oh, did he passed out from not eating anything? Thinking this I cautiously took out 3 sticks of yakitori from the storage scroll which I actually took it from the Inventory.

This way no one will find this weird and the Anbu's won't get suspicious of me which means I won't ended up getting in contact with the Yamanaka's mind technique.

Holding the yakitori near his nose, he began to sniff in the delicious smell. "Hmm...?? food!" The Blonde yelled excitingly opening his eyes wide but stopped in his track as his eyes landed on me.

Looking back and forth on me then on the food in my hand with a drool coming out of his mouth.

"Are you going to eat that?" he ask gulping his saliva as he stared hungrily like a predator in front of his prey.

'This Kid , Just how long hasn't he eaten?'

"Catch!" Throwing the food towards him, he expertly catches it in mid-air and began to chew it like a rabid dog.

Seeing how hungry he is , I don't think the Yakitori sticks is enough. Looking at the river stream , I see fishes swim by the river giving a good idea on what food to get for Naruto.

(An Hour Later)

After catching some fish in the river , I made a fire to cook them with Naruto help collect sticks.

"Kamiya Shou."

"Huh?" He look at me confused I rolled my eyes at his absentmindedly , "You supposed to tell me your name." a look of realization hit him making him flushed in embarrassment and shame. "Uzumaki Naruto."

"So tell me how did you end up like this?" I ask him, trying to make a conversation. "The Matron at the orphanage kicked me out , I tried to ask her why but she wouldn't tell me anything." He said with a sad look on his face , I grimes at the thought.

I knew well enough to know Danzo was responsible for the blonde kids tragic childhood. The only thing I can do for him is be his first friend and help him training.

"You too, Huh" I sighed loud enough for him to hear me , he look at he with wide eyes with jaws dropped on the ground.

"I was kicked out of the orphanage 3 months ago , the people there didn't really like me because I was too quiet and mature. The kids also liked to bullied me and when I fought back they would beat me harder" explaining to him why the Orphanage really kicked me out.

Now that I think about it , Naruto and I were both kicked out for different reason but our outcomes are similar.

I was calm, quiet and mature most of my time at the Orphanage. The kids find me weird , even tried to order me around like doing their chores and forcing me to do something stupid. It's how I ended up getting beaten here and there. The Matron was a selfish bitch who didn't really care what happen between the children as long as no one knew about it.

Naruto was innocent and friendly , the kids used to play with him but it all changed when Danzo spread the rumor of him being the reincarnated Kyubi. The Matron who was a retired Kunoichi knew what Naruto was but still isolated him from everyone. And also told the other children that he was a bad kid , leading to Naruto to where he is now.

"What are you going to do now?" he asked me quietly , concerned in his baby blue eyes.

"I'm fine. I have some savings I saved from my allowance in the Orphanage. Now I lived in an apartment , it's not in the best condition but it's enough to have roof over my head." He nodded his head.

"What about you?"

"Me?"

"...Yeah"

"I don't know. I don't have any money to rent an apartment or buy food..." He sighed with bitterness in his tone , I felt a pang of hurt and pity for him.

"Do you want to stay with me?"

"?!! You aren't scared of me?.."

"Why would I be afraid of you?" I know why but I don't blame you Naruto.

"Everyone calls me a demon fox and said I'm a bad person..."

"No. I don't really care about them , and I don't believe rumors... so what do you say? want to live with me?"

"Really?" He said with hopeful eyes at the thought of living with someone.

"Sure , I'm your friend after all"

"Friend." He mutters eyes beginning to tear and when I nodded. He finally burst into tears hugging me for dear life. As I patted his back calmly.

'Yes... Your Friend.'
