A Changing Vision Of The Future

Chapter 6: Birthday blues

Somewhere deep in Naruto's mind, hidden in the sewers of the blonde's mind the all mighty Kyuubi no Yoko watched as the blonde experienced those strange visions. He himself also did not know what those strange things were, but one thing he knew for sure was that this was something very interesting and that there was something important that would were to happen. The strange visions gave him a familiar feeling, but yet not known at all. He only had to wait for it to happen when the brat would become a ninja, then the action would start.

The Nine Fox looked at the at the sleeping form of the boy in his mind. It would take a long time before the boy would become a good ninja. The boy failed his ninja exam already one time because of a simple clone technique. The boy had horrible chakra control and massive reserves so it couldn't be helped, and to add the other thing was that some teachers tried to sabotage the brats training. The fox scoffed, was he worrying for his container? No, of course not, why would he, the Kyuubi, worry for some low jinchuuriki. The thinking was giving him a headache, he wasn't even sure if that was possible.

The Kyuubi watched through the eyes of his container and yawned, 'This is gonna take a while before it gets interesting, I'm gonna take a nap..' The fox thought closing its eyes.

XOXOX

It was the tenth of October, it was the day of the Kyuubi festival. The day when the nine tailed demon fox attacked the village of the Hidden Leaves. The Fourth Hokage also known as the Yellow Flash killed the Kyuubi, thus saving the village and returned peace once more. Sadly the Fourth did not survived when he killed the beast. But he was remembered and hailed as a hero.

What most people didn't knew was that Uzumaki Naruto was born on that day and that that the Kyuubi was not killed, it was sealed. Sealed inside of the newborn boy named Naruto. People started to blame the boy for killing their beloved Hokage. Most of the older generation did know that the fox was sealed in the boy, only the new generation did not. The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, established a law to prevent the younger ones from knowing. But it did not give Naruto a better childhood, parents told their children to stay away from him. Giving the boy no chance of even making friends, they ignored him and they despised him.

But today was also Naruto's birthday. with the knowledge and experience from earlier years he knew that he was not welcome at the festival. So he would be either camping in the woods, which was a great place to be, or taking a Ichikaru ramen take out, or be training somewhere else. This year he decided to do all three of them. He did get his monthly allowance already as birthday gift from the old man.

It was mid-afternoon and the villagers were preparing for the festival that was held the night, Naruto took one the another route then usual to avoid the stall of the festival, how much he wanted to see the festival he could not. The villagers kept looking at him with those glares and treated him like trash, if he would be seen at the festival. It was not the shortest route to Ichikaru's but also not the longest. When he finally arrived at the small ramen stand he saw Iruka-sensei sitting on one of the stools eating some ramen.

'Iruka-sensei?' He asked. The man turned around surprised, looking at his student that was standing behind him.

'Naruto? What are you doing here?' The chunin asked, 'Aren't you supposed to be celebrating your birthday on the festival or something?'

Naruto shook his head, 'No, I am not really welcome at the festival, and I don't have anyone to spend my birthday with...' He softly answered.

Those words felt awfully familiar to man, he thought back at the birthdays he spended with his parents and the ones he spended alone after the Kyuubi attack. It was the same as what he experienced and what the blonde boy was experiencing right now.
