Right before Iruka was about to start off the lesson, the door slid open. Students turned their heads to see who it was, hoping that it was the Hokage so they could escape the incoming boring lesson.

There entered Ito, he kept his gaze low and entered the classroom silently. Not bothering to wave hello to his friends or apologizing to their sensei about being late. Iruka didn't yell as he knew what happened.

" Okay now, for today I will tell you the basics about kunai weapons and shuriken. After that, we'll head out..." Iruka explained the activity for today.

Ito sat on his spot beside Naruto and stared blankly at his desk. Everything was tuned out around him. Naruto wasn't there that day so he doesn't know that Ito is there. Rather he was out doing his pranks to gain attention from the village and Hokage.

Time flew by fast that he didn't hear the girl calling out to him. " Ito-Kun I missed you! Where were you?" Said the pink haired girl, Sakura.

" Shoo billboard brow!" Hissed Ino, and then she turned to Ito with lovey-dovey eyes.

" Hi Ito-Kun!" Sakura yelled at Ino and they both were arguing at each other.

Ito was pulled away from them, and the other sighed.

" Women are such a drag.." He mumbled under his breath.

" Anyways, what's wrong?" Shikamaru Asked.

" Everything is fine." He finally spoke, as he didn't want his friend to worry about him.

" I stayed up to late that's all." Ito answered, his tone faltering slightly that Shikamaru didn't notice. Though he didn't believe his story but he didn't want to pressure him about it.

" It was a drag without you here, those two were always arguing like always. But it was worse since they complained that you weren't here, and.. yeah.." Shikamaru sighed heavily, his head aching just by the memory.

Then Ito noticed the two girls were still at it, and he grabbed a two sets of three shuriken.

" Come on you two, we got to practice throwing these." Ito stated, and handed them the shuriken.

They walked over to the wooden posts with the target pinned on it. After some kids headed up to throw, it was there turn.

Ito raised his hand and placed the shuriken between his fingers. Then he swiftly threw them, landing in their targets perfectly. Many were staring in awe and surprise.

Then next was Sakura, who threw a shuriken one by one which landed on the corners of the target board. And so on the others went. Ito had already left since it was already the lunch hour.

There he sat on top a tree branch, away from the others. He didn't carry a bento, since his caretaker had passed..

Ito ran out of the Hokage office, and hid somewhere for the rest of the day. He didn't want to be sent to an orphanage. He wanted his family back.

He didn't flinch when someone landed beside his spot on the tree branch. Ito slowly turned his head to see that it was Sasuke who sat there.

" What do you want?" Ito Asked.

" Nothing, this is my spot."
