Life 4: Bushy Brows

Facing Minato's silence he gritted his teeth as he said.

"Your very existence is defying the natural order you know that right-

I'll take care of the Gaki but it's time to ascend and move on Minato and take Kushina with you-

Just seal some of your techniques and I'll give him them- And that is my promise to you, but seriously if Otou-san saw this he would spank me.

Now take your remaining Soul Essence and go ascend Minato and that redhead too.

As the Kyubi said this the figure of a habanero appeared as she wrapped Naruto in a hug with Minato joining them.

As they spoke of their goodbyes the boy cried- something that had never happened since his resolve was made.

His parents at least he knew he had them and now his father was right-

He had to prove them wrong and give them kindness, he needed to help them and be acknowledged.

And he wanted to see Sasuke- for a simple thank you...

———_______———

As he heard the last rumblings of the giant rabbit-eared fox and his dissipated father - Naruto awakened as his eyes opened.

He found that he was in the school infirmary as he gently got up with a little bit of fatigue that seemed to slow him down a bit.

But as he regained consciousness he wondered exactly who had placed him in this infirmary- was it...

But then the realisation of life dawned upon him- he had no close friends, he had no allies, he had no foes, no rivals- no he had no one close to him that wasn't six feet under.

The third was merely his caretaker a burden given to him by his successor as he died for this village- he remembered and as these thoughts came into place he began to drown in negativity.

But as this happened- the figures of both his mother and father enveloping him in their embraces soon came to mind as he remembered what they said.

'Naruto- don't stoop to their level...'

'Prove them wrong - my baby boy, you can do anything if you believe It!'

And as he began to have flashbacks of his short encounter droplets of tears gradually fell, they caused his arms to go moist as he could feel his tears falling.

However, he knew that this was not the time for such things- yet the tears kept flowing...

He'd met his parents- yet they had also passed in his eyes.

This pain of finding a close one to find similarities in yet getting this taken away was heart-wrenching- their smiles as they passed on was tormenting him- it was tormenting his soul as he kept on remembering their faces.

His mother with pure red hair that went to her back whilst she had a hot-head personality whilst his father's majestic blonde hair touched his cheeks as he had a gentle smile plastered on his face.

As he got up slowly the mystery of who helped him remained in his mind as he made it his mission to visit the third and find out who it was.

But for now, going home and sleeping was all he wanted to do- but then his stomach began to make noises- disregarding his sentiments of sleeping.

But he received no allowances this month and he'd forgotten to pickpocket and steal from the stores- all he had was some dated milk.

As he remembered this he grumbled slightly as for dome reason his body felt like he'd done an intense workout- causing him to feel sluggish as he gradually landed off of the bed before he began his trek home.

Along the way, he passed by a clock and noted it was already over "8:30 PM"

'Man just how long have I been out-'

Was what Naruto thought as he clutched his stomach in an effort to satiate his appetite.

'What use is strength, jutsu and chakra when I can die from starvation- this somehow became the best and worst day in my life.'

---_____---

However as Naruto struggled his way home- he stopped dead in his tracks as he could smell an incredible meal happening over on the training grounds- like an Inuzuka he smelt around until he finally found the place.

The training grounds he found and there- he saw that a bowl haired man and kid his age were eating together as they were doing handstands with weights upon their arms and legs.

'Who are these weirdos?'

However, instead of interrupting them, he continued to watch as he saw that the kid his age was moving around with incredible agility though weighted and his movements caused a gust of winds that felt like Wind Releases.

Whoever these two were- they were incredibly strong as they continued eating whilst performing handstands.

But as it always does- Naruto's stomach growled a little fiercely and with that his cover found as the two bushy brows turned to his figure in the bushes immediately.

The taller bushy bro then instructed the smaller one to check it out.

"But Guy-sensei, what if its a dead animal?!"

However, the one called Guy merely chuckled in his weird posture that looked weird and horrible at the same time not to mention his stance that seemed unbreakable.

'Sh*t- I'm gonna get in trouble again- but I can't eve-'

But before he could carry on with his thoughts the smaller bushy brows grabbed him out of the bush- as he picked him up easily with two fingers whilst in a handstand stance.

'Sh*t, Sh*t, Sh*t- They're gonna kill me!'

"Please don't kill me- I'm sorry for intruding- It's just that your food was so nice smelling- the wafts pulled me here - please don't kill me, I won't tell anyone of your weird activities!"
