A ninja to remember

2.

Meeting the Hokage

As Lee Guy and I walked through Konoha, I recognised so many other things.
'Holy shit is that a weapons store?! No way, a bookshop dedicated to porn? Yuck' I thought to my self as we meandered through the village.

A small ramen shop stood to the side of the street, the most amazing smells arching through the air and making their way up my nose, my stomach growling in lust.
'Shut up you! In a minute. We will go to Ichirakus in a sec' I told my impatient stomach.

The entrance to the Hokages office was huge! It was like he was trying to be a fucking diva. Lee and Guy lead me up so many stairs that by the top, I had rivers of sweat pouring down my face, coating my back and my breath was coming in short gasps.

Guy suddenly lifted his hand and rapped his knuckles against a brown door, three times in succession. A low voice permitted us entry.
"Guy, Lee what is it" the Hokage grumbled to the two ninja.

"Lord Hokage, we were doing our daily training session, as you do, and this girl we found lying on the ground. So we brought her to you" Guy said grandly, puffing out his chest even more than was physically possible.

I bowed in respect and came back up and smiled at him. As in the show he had around a million wrinkles, I mean I would have been there for ten years to count them all.
'Ok Sora! No swearing. You can swear when Kakashi sensei is in on the scene' I told myself, clamping down on my crude attitude.

"Hey gramps. I'm Sora, Sora Daniels. I've come from the land of trolls to become a ninja" I told him.
'Nice brain, good cover up'
'Thanks I do try'
'Ok now I'm talking to myself' I thought, mentally slapping myself.

He seemed to consider my request for a minute, his old eyes bearing straight into my soul, boring holes into my heart.

"Alright. I'll set you up to go to the ninja academy, Irukas class. Also, here is directions to a spare apartment on the south side of the village. And your salary for the month, come back to me if you run out" he said, handing me an envelope.

"Thank you lord Hokage" I said and bowed again.
'South side?! That's Narutos side! Yes I get to be friends with him. Well if he likes me. Oh cut the shit brain, he'll like me' I thought again.

I wandered out the door again, heading in the direction of Ichirakus, following my nose. Hey, if it can find a meat lovers pizza in a boys changing room, it can certainly find Ichirakus.

I walked in the boiling heat, in the direction of Ichirakus. Id never personally tried ramen, mum always fed me good dishes, none of that 'Japanese crap' as she would call it. We would sometimes have huge arguments over sushi if I ever ordered it for supper.

I continued to walk through the village, the smell of ramen getting stronger and stronger. The building came into sight and I sprinted the last few metres.

Three other people plus myself, sat at the bar, no one talking to each other.
'Just like home' I thought as my bowl of ramen was placed before me, a string of drool slipped out of my mouth.

"Thanks for the food" I said and dug in. 20 minutes  later the person beside me had stopped slurping and left, leaving me to finish my last bowl.

I payed and left, using the map to walk towards my apartment. Seeing as I had an hour before I had to go to my first class at the academy, I crashed on my bed, suddenly rootling in my pockets to see whether anything came with me.

I pulled out my IPhone 4S and it's charger in surprise. 'I can't show anyone this' I thought to myself, stowing it in a drawer beside my new bed.

I went to the bathroom to clean myself up. I found a few stray twigs here and there within my hair, a dirt mark on the side of my face, and my teeth were sharp?! Like a snake, or a vicious animal.

I touched my tongue to the end of them and grinned sadistically, stopping after a few seconds, realising how creepy that was. I hopped into the shower and washed myself.

I changed quickly and started my journey to the academy. I walked slowly, memorising the way so that I wouldn't get lost. Suddenly a figure ran straight into me. I fell to the floor, groaning, as the other person sat up.

"In so so sorry" she said. I looked up shaking my head in answer and saw pink hair, green eyes, high forehead.
"My names Sakura. Are you new to the village?" She said sticking out her hand towards me.

"Yeah. My names Sora Daniels. Nice to meet you Sakura" I answered, placing my palm I hers to let her pull me up.

"Hey do you know where the Academy is?" I asked.

"Yeah sure follow me" she replied walking towards a building.

We arrived with five minutes to spare. Sakura pulled me towards a group of people and introduced her friends who's names I immediately forgot.

"Oh look it's the loner again"
"Why is he so weird?"
"Why doesn't he have any family?" They all asked.

I turned and saw a great tree, with a swing tied to a branch, a forlorn figure sitting on the seat. I turned to them, recognising him immediately.
"You guys make me sick, making fun of him when you don't even know his story" I hissed at them and left, going over to meet him.
'Calm down. Just act casual, even though your going to be meeting your crush since primary. Oh shit fuck balls and cock' I thought.

"Hello. Would you like some company?" I asked him kindly.

"Sure. My names Naruto. Naruto Uzamaki by the way" he told me.
"Sora. Nice to meet you. Hey, I know this might be weird having a stranger say this, but, if any one hurts you again please come and tell me" I told him.

His blue eyes filled with tears as he launched himself at me.
