As Naruto grew up he realized that he was a side character. And although people didn't hate him, they certainly didn't love him. To them he was just the unremarkable sibling of the two prodigies, and even then most forgot they were even related. Realizing his place, he decided to try and change his fate, pushing himself to get stronger despite not having any boon like his siblings. So, his life moved on, nobody cared about him and he didn't care about anyone else. All parties didn't care, all parties were uninterested. Well... until one day. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I don't own Naruto or any pictures used in this fic.
