How Much Can A Smile Hide

Chapter Six

Continuing...
Asked him where my seat was.

"Okay everyone. This is Naruto Uzumaki. He will be going to school here from now on so make him feel welcome. So... you sit next to Sasuke. And by the way my name is Iruka but you can call me Iruka-Sensei." He said as he smiled at me. And it was a true, genuine smile.

I smiled back at him and he had Sasuke raise his hand so that I know where to sit. I went over to him and sat down listening to Iruka making a speech.

8 Year Time Skip Because I'm Lazy

Naruto's POV
The beatings have gotten worse. They happen more frequently. Especially on my way to and from school. They happen more after school than before. But I just want it to end.

I just don't think that I can handle a beating today. Yesterday's was really draining. I have a broken leg and a sprained wrist. After I got to my apartment I decided that I was going to go to school before anybody was awake so that I don't run into anybody.

I put on a blue hoodie, black shorts, and a pair of converses. Then I head down to the kitchen and look into the fridge. The milk is spoiled, the faucet water is dirty, and the villagers stole all of my food. I'm getting overly skinny. It's not healthy. But I'm used to it so I then step out of the door and head to school.

Limping is really slowing me down but I try to go as fast as I can just in case. After like an hour I am there about 5 hours early.

I walk into my classroom and sit in my seat. I then got a great idea. I asked my plant friends if they could turn into a piano and they were happy to do so. I then got a chair from the corner and sat in front of the piano. I looked around just to make sure that no one was there and then I started to play.

Play Song Now

Iruka' s POV
"I have to get to the classroom and clean before school starts. I have a good 5 hours. I hope it'll be enough time." I said right outside of the academy struggling to get the key to the door out. I finally got it in when I heard a beautiful melody and a wonderful voice to go with it. It's coming from inside the building! Who could be here before me?! I thought as I rushed in the direction of the beautiful music and it led me right to my classroom. I slowly tip toed over to the doorway and peeked inside. My eyes widened. It was Naruto! He had a blue sweatshirt on and black shorts along with black converses and a strange ring made out of sticks on his head. His golden hair was softly blowing along with the breeze and his eyes were closed but you could see tears running down his face.
