Life was never easy for Uzumaki Naruto. His father died after he was born. He had a heart attack and died on the operation table. His mother died giving birth to him. Both of his parents were in their last year of graduate school, and everyone had said they were going to be successful, but their death ended all beliefs.
His parents left him in the care of one of Minato’s (Naruto’s father) professors at school, Jiraiya. Jiraiya loved Minato like a son, and loved Kushina very much too. For the first few years of Naruto’s life, Jiraiya was slightly cold and uncaring to Naruto, blaming him for his parents death. However, when Naruto was five, he was hit by a car, and had he not been a quick healer, he would have died. He had three deep gashes on his cheeks that resembled whiskers, that would remain there for the rest of his life, and he had forgotten everything that happened before the accident. Because the police blamed the accident partially on Jiraiya, Naruto was taken away from him, and put into an orphanage.
Jiraiya was devestated, and searched for many people to adopt the young boy, not wanting him to spend fifteen years in an orphanage. That is when he found Hatake Kakashi, a young man who had just turned eighteen, and now legally allowed to adopt a child. Hatake Kakashi was a boy that was in Minato’s Taijutsu class, and had grown quite fond of Minato. He agreed right away to adopt Naruto, as long as Jiraiya helped with money. Kakashi was an orphan as well, and a freshman in college. Jiraiya, who was a semi-famous author agreed to pay Kakashi’s way through college, and help with Naruto whenever he needed.
Kakashi almost dropped out of college his sophomore year, but it was Naruto that kept him going, and for that, he was grateful. Naruto, he felt, was the best thing that had happened to him.
Naruto on the other hand, struggled through high school, and tried to keep his grades up, but he graduated with C’s. He was lucky to get into Konoha University with his grades. It wasn’t as if he was stupid, because honestly, he wasn’t. He just hated doing things he didn’t like, and found many things pointless. He wanted to progress in life, without having to do the important things to get there.
But when he reached college, he straightened himself out, and his grades shot up. His GPA was 3.9, and he was doing excellent in school.
He knew what happened to his parents, but no one ever told him that Jiraiya took care of him until he was five. Jiraiya loved Naruto, and couldn’t stand the fact that Naruto may hate him if he told him what had happened.
”We’re going where!?” Haruno Sakura, a twenty-one year old, pink-haired girl shrieked at her sociology professor. She really didn’t want to believe that they were actually going to such a place, and for a sociology trip! And her major was biology! Where they were going, it was irrelevant to her major! She wanted to be a doctor, not some…prison ward!
“I said, we’re going to Konoha State Prison for a class trip,” Anko repeated, glaring at Sakura, who didn’t look too happy. It was only the second week of the semester, and already this young woman was giving her problems.
“But I’m not even a sociology major, why do I have to go?!” Sakura asked, folding her arms and glaring back at the professor, as if to challenge her.
“Because, whether you like it or not, you took this class, so you’re going to have to go. If you don’t, you wont pass,” Anko smirked sadistically in response. Sakura groaned and laid her head down on the desk. From day one, she felt as though Anko had it in for her, and this only proved her case.
“Well, Sakura, there are a few others here who aren’t sociology majors, yet still have to take this class, or chose to, am I correct?” Anko asked, and a few of the students nod their heads and raised their hands. One of the few was Uzumaki Naruto. He was twenty-one, in his final semester, and had no clue what he wanted to do with his life. He was a liberal arts major, so really, he was able to go anywhere he wanted after he got his bachelors degree. He was thinking of simply staying a little longer, and getting an education degree, because he liked kids a lot, but something was tell him that wasn’t his passion. Another thing he thought of was business, something quite a few people told him he’d be good in.
“I have slips for those of you who need off of work, so, come collect them now if you need them,” Anko said, and a few students stood up, taking a small piece of white paper from their professor, before sitting down. Naruto sighed and looked over to Sakura, who looked miserable. He wondered briefly how she could hate it so much. It wasn’t bad at all! There were guards, so really, what could happen.
After a few more moments of Anko explaining when they would meet up so the bus could take them to Konoha Prison, they were able to leave.
“Argh! I can’t believe she’s making us go! It’s ridiculous!” Sakura whined, walking alongside of Naruto, who was going to his speech class, before heading home for the night. Tuesdays were always long for him. He had three, three-hour classes in a row, and it always made him tired. He didn’t mind speech, though, because he actually really liked, but today, he dread doing his speech.
“Bye Sakura-chan! I’ll talk to you soon!” He said as they waved their goodbyes, and Sakura made her way towards the parking lot for her car, and Naruto made his way to his class, in one of the buildings furthest away from the parking lot.
“By now, since I’m graduating at the end of this semester, I should know, shouldn’t I? I’m majoring in liberal arts, because I can go onto go wherever I’d like, I just don’t know what that is. There’ve been friends who’ve told me I’d be good with business, because I’d make a good ‘leader’, and some even told me I’d be a good teacher, but…I just never felt anything for either. I’m sure most of you here, who are in your final semester know what you want, right?” Many of his classmates nod their heads, and he continued.
“But…you were all inspired by something…I never was, and that’s why I don’t know what to do. I need inspiration, but I don't know if I'll ever get it,” He finished off his speech, and there was silence for a few moments before his classmates began to clap, and he sat down, feeling slightly saddened.
Naruto was never the jealous type. He was more like the type of person to be happy for others to have what he did not. But he couldn’t help but frown in sadness as all of his friends slowly got their letters of acceptance from various schools. Chouji from a prestige culinary arts school, to get his bachelors. Sakura from the best med school in the country, to get her doctrine. Sai to a great architectural school. And so many more of his friends that he could name, but didn’t feel the need to.
His final semester of college was half over, and Uzumaki Naruto still had no clue what to do with his life. Sure, he could go to any school he wanted with his masters in liberal arts, but that didn’t do any good if he didn’t know what he wanted to do.
However, it all changed the day of his sociology trip to Konoha prison.
So tell me what you all think!
