Naruto: Mommy? Daddy?

Naruto's Happy Day

It was summer. The season was bright and colourful. Children laugh while parents sigh. It was a happy day for everyone in the village of Konohagakure. They didn't have any negative thoughts whatsoever at the moment. Yup, everybody was content. All except for one.

Under the shady tree, sat a young blonde boy no older than five. His chubby cheeks were whiskered like a fox. His blue eyes were the bluest and brightest of all. Those eyes were usually bright and twinkling with mischief but now, it held loneliness and sadness. Even from afar, you can tell who is our young child is. Yes, he is... Uzumaki Naruto. Konoha's jinchuuruki of the Kyuubi and the infamous outcast.

The poor boy was swinging on the swing by himself. Kids his age ran past him while adults ignored him. He thought it would be like any other summer. Being alone.

'Why? Why do they hate me? Was it something I did? Was it something about how I look weird?' Questions popping up. Looking at those kids. I envy them. They have a mommy and daddy waiting for them at home. I have no one at home. No one...

I don't have a mommy or daddy. I don't even have a sister or brother to play with. I don't have a family or friends except Jiji, Teuchi-jiisan and Ayame-neechan. Today, Jiji is really busy and the ramen shop is closed. So, I don't have anybody to be with.

I hop off the swing, pretending to not notice the mean looks. I walked away to the docks. It's the only place I can go now. I plopped myself on the grassy ground. It makes me sad that no one likes me. Maybe I should be like Sasuke-teme act mean and quiet. But I don't like that. I want to be me. I don't want people seeing me as another person. I want to be Uzumaki Naruto...

I saw the setting sunset as I walked to my apartment. It looked so beautiful and calm. Looking at those happy families...

Maybe... My mind pictured a tall beautiful woman and a strong handsome man, both smiling at him while welcoming him home.

Maybe I can find my Mommy and Daddy someday. And we can be a big happy family and eat ramen all the time! I hopped into my apartment, instantly going to bed.

I wasn't even tired but I can't wait to find them! I hope that I won't have to sleep in this old, lonely apartment. I drifted into dreamland, dreaming one of the few dreams I love. About meeting my Mommy and Daddy.
