Soon enough, Naruto started the Academy. You would wait for him to return everyday, worried for his well being and hoping he was making friends.
When he would return you would ask, "How was the academy?" And it was always the same reply. "Good."
And then you would ask, "Did you make any friends?" And it was also the same answer. "No."
He had told you early on, on how he would get bullied a lot.
And now that he was in the academy, things were worse. His scores were not so good as well, you tried helping his train but instead he insisted that he do it alone.
So you would sit and watch him struggle with every Jutsu he was taught, doing your best to cheer him on.
You weren't sad that he didn't want your help, you couldn't have helped anyways. You didn't know a single thing about Jutsus, Chakra, etcentra.
But, you were sad that you knew nothing.
At the end of the day he would end up exhausted and tired. You did your best to cool him down for his small journey back to the village.
Using the water from the streams nearby to wash his face and clean his hands.
Sometimes you would feel bad that he had to take such a walk form the village to your field, you told Naruto one day that he didn't have to come to here everyday and that he should take a day to just relax.
Naruto looked at you like you were crazy that day and told you that this was the place he relaxed and all you could do was smile softly at his words.
Another day had came and you awaited Naruto's presence but this time it was different as you noticed just beyond the small hills that Naruto was walking with another person.
You squinted your eyes to make out who the other human was.
The two had finally made it to you as you studied the person, jet black hair and onyx colored eyes.
Your (E/c) ones blinked a few times as you realized you were staring for to long. "U-uh Naruto who is this?" You squeaked out.
Naruto smiled as he looked at Sasuke, "Sasuke Uchiha! Nice to meet you!" The Uchiha exclaimed excitedly.
"Sasuke this is my best friend (Y/n)!" Naruto introduced as you waved shyly.
But then suddenly it hit you, "Naruto is this a friend!" You exclaimed as you excitedly bounced up and down. 'He finally did it! A friend from the academy!!' You thought.
"FRIENDS?! NO WAY!" The boys yelled out in unison.
You paled at the words and quirked your head to the side, "The um, why'd Naruto bring you here?" You asked.
"Were rivals and were gonna fight to the death!" Naruto shouted as he flashed a big smile.
You paled once more as Sasuke nodded in agreement, "Uh, if you don't mind if we do it here (Y/n)." Naruto said as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Oh uh-" You thought and then smiled, "Yeah of course you guys can spar!" You approved.
"Battle," Sasuke quickly corrected you and the two ran off to the flatter part of your flower field.
You watched as Naruto and Sasuke fought each other with big smiles on there faces. You realized maybe if they were rivals it didn't mean that they didn't enjoy doing stuff together. So for you, it was a win in your book.
You were glad that someone at least acknowledged him as someone or an opponent. So you decided you owed Sasuke a thank you.
You didn't want to tell him now, but later in the future. So all you could do for now is thank his silently.
