i'd still choose you. naruto uzumaki x reader

✤ Secrets

That's the old book cover btw^^

edit:

this edit is from a point where i'm already writing in shippūden. im aware of how horribly written the shonen jump half of this story is, so if you are going to read this half, trust the process is all i can say 😃

when i began writing this story, i was still new to writing and everything i wrote was basically completely out of character and just about everything (Y/N) did was a pick me thing to do
so i'd recommend going ahead to shippūden but that's for you to decide 😸

USE FOR WHOLE STORY:
(chapter keys)
✤ = canon (part of the main story plot)
★ = canon flashback (used on real "filler" chapters)
☆ = non-canon (used for the fake "filler" chapters)
✿ = update/authors note

•(Y/N) POV•

Finally here...I don't get why dad has to live so far away from the village..

Just as I'm about to head to the store, a knucklehead my age speeds past me two of what I'm guessing are ninjas following after him.Looking around to see what he caused this time, my eyes widen.

"Dear god..."

One day he's really gonna get an ass beating.This time he really went as far as to paint on the Hokage faces in he side of the mountains.Shaking my head, I continue on my way choosing to worry about Naruto later.

Me and him are best buddies.We tell each other everything and we trust each other with our lives.I feel sorry for him to be honest.

I look down at the list dad had given me.

Poor boy grew up without a mom or dad.I might not have my real one but he's all alone, I have somebody.So the day we met I felt the need to be his friend.Everybody needs a friend.No matter how much of a troublemaker or a knucklehead you might be.

"Oh, (Y/N)?Hey, (Y/N)!"
Glancing to my side I see Ino approaching me.A smile forming on my face.
"Oh, hey, I didn't expect to see you here."

She shrugs.
"Just getting some stuff for my mom and dad.What about you?"

I send her a smile as I grab another carton of milk.
"Same as you, except not getting anything for my mom, heh."
She looks down into the basket of items I have.
"Two milks for you and your dad?"

"Huh?Oh what?No, this second one is for Naruto."
I motion toward the milk in my hands.Naruto doesn't exactly check the expiration date on any of his foods or drinks.
"Shouldn't he get that stuff himself?"

"Well, yes.But I noticed that whenever I went over to his house, his milk was way past it's expiration date.I don't want him getting sick."
I put the milk in my basket as she sighs, folding her arms.
"I really don't get why you hang out with him.He's a moron, he's stupid.He should look out for himself—."

"Ino."
My sweet and innocent look is replaced by a serious slightly angry one.
"You shouldn't talk bad about somebody behind their back.He doesn't have what we have.He doesn't have parents to look out for him.He needs help, and I'm going to be the one to do so."

I flip my hair in her face as I turn to make my way to the cashier.Naruto speeds by once again.I shake my head, stepping outside one I payed for my groceries.Before the ninjas has the chance to drag Naruto away, I quickly stop them.

"Hiyaa you guys~!"
I grab onto Naruto pulling him out of the ninjas grasp and by my side.
"Look, it's just a huge mistake he made and it won't happen again, if you just let it slide one last time."

"(Y/N).You said the same thing last time he cause trouble!"
One replies looking down at my small figure.
I rub the back of my neck.
"Well yes, and it probably won't be the last with the way things are turning out."

"Just let them go."
The other buds in.
"I'd hate to get (Y/N) in trouble and get him involved."

The two look at each other with fear, bowing to me and Naruto, then disappearing.
Naruto looks at me, a close eyed smile on his features.
"Thanks (Y/N)!"
I smack the back of his head.
"You're lucky I was in the village right now.Or else you would've been dead meat!"

He rubs the spot I hit him, cowering down as he turns to walk with me.
"So umm..who's him?"

I freeze.
"Uhh, I-I don't know.."
"Why did you stutter?You never stutter.They also mentioned that they'd hate to get you in trouble then have whoever him is involved.Seems like you know who this him is."
He leans in close to my face, pulling back, placing a hand on his chin.
"Meh, I won't force you into telling me.C-Ya at school tomorrow (Y/N)!"
He begins to wave himself off but I remember what I had gotten him.

"Naruto!Hold on a second!"
He turns around as I quickly re approach him.I pull a carton out of my basket.
"I got this for you.I noticed that your milk at home was expired.You should take more care of yourself.I don't want you getting sick on me."

He blinks for a second, then sheepishly smiles, taking the milk.
"Oh, I never really expected that.But thanks, nobody really looks out for me like you do.I appreciate, (Y/N)."

"Anything for you Naruto.I had to beg my dad for the extra money for it so you'd better be thankful."
I begin to take my leave.
"When will I meet your dad?"

"..what.?"
I look over my shoulder to him.
"I've never met him.You never talk about him much either.When will I meet him?"
Sweat forms on my forehead and I brush it off quickly.
"Uhh.. oh Oops I forgot to feed my...my....my parrot!Yeah, I forgot to feed my parrot!Bye Naruto!"

His eyes open wide.
"Wait—You don't even own a parrot!"
He yells to me as I disappear from his vision.

Lord Hokage really doesn't want anybody to know that I am Kakashi's daughter.If word gets out about it, dangerous people, ninjas, or even assassins could take me and force Kakashi to bring them a prized antique or a certain amount of money by holding me hostage.

I was told to never tell anybody.Kakashi is the only one allowed to tell people about the secret.But if I'm told to keep a secret,

I intend on keeping that secret.
