A four year child is running from the streets. People throw anything at him, from stones to various weapons. He cried for days non-stop as he saw those piercing eyes staring at him, wanting him to vanish from his very existence. "What did I do wrong?", he thought. The young Naruto was crouched at the corner of a street crying excessively. Hours passed he successfully got into the orphanage where some kids would throw hateful glares at him, sometimes bullying him excessively. Only time will tell when it would stop. He always wondered why people treated him this way. He prayed that someday, he would be saved by something, or someone else, paving way for making this misery disappear in his life for eternity.

Naruto slept that night with dried tears from his eyes. When morning came, some of the people in the orphanage would just ignore him, reluctantly giving him food. When he began to shove piece by piece into his mouth, other orphaned children glared at him. Some bullies have gone near him and threw his food down, making him hungry for the rest of the day. In order to evade the bullies, he ran outside the orphanage and he managed to avoid them all.

As he paced the streets, he saw those hateful glares again. Suddenly, an angry group of mobs have beaten him with their canes, not caring that the poor boy are bruised and wounded all over. A few hours passed, he was left lying on the street, too weak through walk over. With determination and strength, he managed to got up and ran, not knowing where to go.

Two years have passed, he was now in the Academy. "Why did the Third agree to let this demon become a Shinobi?", a random parent of a child stated.

"Those hateful glares…. I see it again", Naruto thought. He made his way into the Academy and sat on one of the chairs. As he sat, he saw a raven-haired kid surrounded by several girls, shouting 'Sasuke-kun, Sasuke-kun". He was so annoyed by these antics that the raven-haired man decided to ignore them.

A few minutes later, a teacher arrived, introducing himself, "Welcome to the Academy. My name is Iruka Umino and I would be your instructor until you graduate. So, do your best and pass so that you may became a ninja. Now, let us start".

As Iruka started the lessons, Naruto was bored until he drifted off into a sleep. He was woken up when an eraser was thrown onto his head, startling him up.

"How many times do I need to tell you that you listen to your lessons", Iruka said angrily. Naruto then saw those glares that he remembered not so long ago. Reluctantly, he forced himself not to cry and just nodded on Iruka's command.

Days passed, he still hasn't made friends. Until one day, some kids named Choji, Shikamaru and Kiba befriended him. Now, he was extremely happy that he made new friends. Yet, even with this type of improvement, his classmates would always call him a dobe and even a failure. He was now known as a dead last. One academy student even managed to bump him on his should intentionally in order to let Naruto 'know his place'.

"Now, it's time for you to spar. Sasuke and Naruto, please come forward", Iruka said.

"I'll surely beat you, Sasuke", he thought.

Naruto threw a series a punches and kicks to Sasuke yet he managed to dodge them. When Naruto kicked him, Sasuke disappeared into a poof of smoke, replaced by a wooden log. Little did he know that Sasuke was on his back, and before he knew it, Sasuke kicked him on his back. He fell to the ground and he was defeated.

"That's for you loser. You will never win against Sasuke-kun!", a fan girl shouted.

"Naruto, your kicks and punches are not good. Sasuke's are the best so I suggest that instead of playing pranks on other people, focus on your well-being first", Iruka said flatly.
