Ever since he was was a kid, Naruto, has always been the pariah of the village. As a young kid, he thought that it was due to his pranks so by the time he was 8 years old, Naruto, had stopped with those pranks. Even so, his situation never changed, with the exception of the old man from Ichiraku ramen and his daughter, everyone else treated him like he was a monster that needed to be avoided all the time. Wanting the approval of the people around him, Naruto turned towards the one thing he knew people admired, power. Even though he lacked the talent and the help to become powerful, he promised himself to one day stand at the top of the shinobi world. After all, if people respected power than being the strongest person alive would certainly earn him the most respect right?
