The Path of a Shinobi (Reader x various)

Academy

Three Days Later

A blanket of snow covered the village as I dully looked out the window. Word spread about what had happened to my clan and the people in the village soon found out that another tailed beast was in Konoha which they didn't quite like. Not at all.

It's been three days since their deaths and I still couldn't come to terms with it. The Uchiha Clan heard the news of the (L/n) Clan being wiped out and hosted a memorial service for them and mourned for them.

The bond that our clans once had was severed

They no longer had us

It was only them now

While I was the only survivor left

A child who was broken and alone

I curled my hands into a fist and slammed my fist against the wall. 'I swear I'll find those people.'

I stepped away from the window and proceeded to grab a warm, (f/c) sweater that Mikoto had gifted me yesterday.

I slipped it on and stuffed my hands in my pockets as I began to make my way out of my home. Today was the enrollment day at the academy and although I wasn't mentally stable yet and didn't wish to go, I forced myself to get out and start anew.

My feet crunched under the snow as I walked down the street with various shops that were closed and homes that were dimly lit. Eventually I came upon a path that was filled with bare trees that were lightly covered in snow and I could see the academy from a far distance.

My eyes remained glued on my surroundings and up ahead, there were four silhouettes, one who was relatively short in height so I assumed they were around my age or younger while the other three were slightly taller.

I was coming closer and closer to where they were at and saw three boys and timid short haired girl with dark blue hair that reached her forehead and was shaped oddly. There were two strands of hair that framed her face and reached her chin. She wore a large yellow scarf and a pinkish coat over her small frame. I walked closer by the trees to avoid any attention and slip past them. As I was a few feet away from them, I could overhear the older kids spouting some hurtful words at the poor girl.

"Hey you! Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Your eyes are creepy!"

"I bet you're actually a monster!"

"Yeah! You Byakugan monster." All three boys roared in laughter while the girl placed her hands over her face and crouched down to the ground and hugged her legs as she remained there sniffling and crying.

I stopped in my tracks and was about to head over to defend her and give the boys a taste of my fist, but the blonde haired boy who I had seen a few days ago got off a swing and ran towards the boys who were bullying the young girl. The only difference about him this time was that he was wearing a pair of green goggles on his forehead and a red scarf around his neck.

"Hey! Stop!"

The three boys turned around to face the blonde haired boy and one said, "Huh? Who are you?"

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I'm gonna be the future Hokage," he confidently stated.

"Future Hokage? Are you serious about that?" Snickered one of the boys.
