"Oh, you are that kid!" The tallest boy commented. He smiled at her. It was not the small smiles that Sasuke directed to her whenever they were alone and playing in his room. It was not the annoyed, but secretly happy, smiles Shikamaru directed her. It was the same cruel smile that Ami had whenever she wanted to taunt her.
"I'm not that kid! I'm Uzumaki Naruto, the girl that is going to become your future Hokage and don't you dare forget it!" Naruto screams it out for the whole world to hear. They glanced at each other for a few seconds before bursting out in laughter.
"What an idiot!"
"You?"
"You barely get good scores!"
Naruto does not even batter an eyelash at those insults. She allowed them to insult her because Naruto knew the truth. She was going to become somebody. She would become the strongest Kunoichi in all of the land and then they would bow down to her. They would look at themselves and think just how stupid they were to underestimate her.
"You are the idiots." The boys growled at her words. The tallest boy clenched his hands into a fist, swung back and then launched his fist at her. Naruto stepped to the side and smashed her fist against his rib, feeling and hearing the sound of his ribs cracking to tiny pieces.
He cried out in pain and clutched his body, moaning in pain.
And this is our senior? He really isn't something. Naruto turned to look at the other two boys and blinked when one of the boys grabbed her hair. He yanked it hard while the other boy tried to punch her. Naruto frowns. She grabbed hold of the boy that yanked her hair and pulled him off of her, before swinging him to the boy that tried to punch her.
Both of them smashed into the trees and cried out in pain.
"You are a monster!" The boys cried. "We are going..."
Naruto smiled. "Sure you go ahead and run to your Mummy, but if your Mummy comes then I will tell them that their sweet sons was bullying a member of a shinobi clan. I bet her clan will be upset if they know that you dare to bully one of their own...I wonder what they will do to you."
They gulped at her words and Naruto silently praised herself for paying attention to Sasuke whenever he explains the importance of a shinobi clan to her. It had always been a boring topic to her and she doesn't understand why he thinks she needed to know this.
It was just too boring if you asked her.
Naruto turned her attention to the silent girl and smiles brightly at her. She holds her hand out and the girl just stared wide-eyed at her, looking at her with strange eyes. She doesn't have a name for those strange emotions but Naruto likes it a lot.
It makes her feel nice and makes her feel happy.
"Are you okay? Those bastards were being really mean about your eyes," Naruto said. She smiled even wider when the girl blinked at her and Naruto thinks that maybe she might just get a friend. Her classmate did not looks like she wanted to slap her hand away or looked at her like she was dirt beneath her shoes. "I think your eyes looks really pretty. My name is Uzumaki Naruto...what is your name?"
The girl smiled and grabbed her hand. Her cheeks were flushed red and Naruto thinks that this would be the first time that she makes a friend that was not some boy.
"Hyuga...Hyuga Hinata b-but you can call me Hinata, Naruto-chan."
"Hinata-chan! I am going to call you, Hinata-chan!"
That was the day when Naruto became friends with Hinata and it would be one of the few happy memories that Naruto has of her childhood.
"Uzumaki, can you please take care of that table? I know your shift is nearly over but I have got a date and...well it will only be this one time!"
