"Uchiha-san! Please, please train me!" I pleaded to the boy who was around my age. "Alright, I'll train you! But first, give me one reason why you're ready to be taught," the boy said, raising his hand to show one finger. "It's quite simple really," I stated with simple elegance. "I don't want to be helpless on the day this village truly turns its back on me." Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I had no real plot for this story, but it's up for grabs if anyone else feels like writing this.
