What is Worth Protecting? -Naruto

Extra Special!

This is the author here! I am making this as a special and this won't be apart of the original story. Just a special, still should read it if you like this story though :P

Naruto couldn't help but sigh as he was walking around in silence, Konohagakure was a glorious village, He loved it with all of his fiber, but no one here really gave any care to him. The Kyuubi being sealed inside of him since October 10th exactly 14 years ago. He paused as he looked down at his feet stepping one foot in front of the other. He hummed lightly before he saw many of his 'Friends' and fellow genin, it seemed that Kurenai and Asuma were talking while the two teams were sitting down talking.

"Hey, guys." Naruto smiled slightly, Maybe one of them might remember, he thought internally. "Oh hey, Naruto!" Kiba grinned slightly as he walked over before putting up his hand in a whisper. "Please save me, this blond is driving me nuts!" He whispered out his plea, Shikamaru and Choji heard it and also... the said blond. "What was that Kiba!?" Ino shouted while Shikamaru and Choji nodded to Naruto, obviously agreeing with Kiba. "N-Nothing Ino!" 

Naruto smiled at that but it seemed they weren't entirely remembering. "What are you guys doing here?" He asked curiously, it was strange for teams just to be doing nothing but sitting around. "Apparently Asuma called us all here, we don't know why I thought you heard and were coming over?" Kiba asked fairly confused while Naruto shook his head. "Sensei is always late, he probably was going to be late so I decided to sleep in." Naruto crossed his arms in annoyance while Kiba chuckled sheepishly at the other's misfortune of a sensei.

After waiting another hour with the other genin, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi finally appeared before them while Naruto gave a pointed glare at his sensei who seemed to be in his own little world reading his book. "What is it Asuma? I was helping some poor woman." He asked turning the page. Asuma rolled his eyes at that. "this was urgent Kakashi! The Daimyo is here and he wants all of us at his ball he is throwing here for the fall of the Kyuubi!" Kakashi paled at the thought, hopefully, he wasn't 'to' late.

"The Daimyo? Why would he do that now?" Naruto asked curiously, he never did this before if he recalled. "It's complicated, but he wants to make sure that everyone knows that even if we lost many people we survived." The genin smiled at that, they were too young or not even born when it happened so they couldn't comprehend what the older generation feels, but they survived, they were the lucky ones. "I see." Naruto hummed before he looked down at his clothes in regret.

He defiantly needed to be there as urgent Asuma made it, but he didn't have anything to wear. He looked over towards their senseis who seemed to be talking briefly. "I don't exactly have anything to wear," Naruto said with a slight blush. "Why are you asking them Naruto? Why not ask your parents." The blond tensed as Sakura asked the question. Kakashi heard Naruto the first time and the question and couldn't help but grimace at the poor choice of a question.

"It's okay Naruto, we can find you something," Kurenai said smiling, The blond sighed in relief before turning away from Sakura who seemed to be confused at the avoision of the question. Shikamaru walked up to her and gave him a shake of his head. "He's an orphan Sakura." The whisper was so quiet she barely heard it. She bit her lip on her error, she knew he was... but why would she forget at this time. 

Naruto walked with Kurenai who seemed to be idly chatting with him... Naruto knew exactly why and chose to tune her out and gave small answers to her questions. She was pulling him away from the others so he didn't have to think of the question Sakura asked him. He sighed slightly before they began walking into a clothing store. Naruto stopped briefly close to the door,  looking towards Kurenai who stopped as well, giving him a curious look. "I-I probably should wait outside..."
