Another day spent alone hiding his suffering under that sweet, friendly grin. Now it's recess, as usual every student chats, plays together, or eats together.

Sakura and her friends are sitting on a bench giggling cruelly at Naruto who is sitting on the usual swing under the tree.

They are all ignorant, or envious. They are afraid of the Nine Tails that is sealed in Naruto and believe that he has no potential at all. But he has a lot, a lot of it.

Naruto is so busy looking at the ground that he doesn't notice the new student who arrived that morning approaching him.
