You and Naruto were like two peas in a pod, brothers from two very different walks of life. The 9-tailed-beast, the same viscous beast that massacred the village just before his birth and killed the precious 4th Hokage was sealed inside him, making many of the villagers scared of him; even hating him. While you on the other hand, came from a very successful clan, known for producing many strong and powerful Ninjas in Konaha, enough to rival even the Uchiha's and Hyuga clan. You two couldn't be more different, yet so alike.

You could care less about what your family wanted your life to be, how much the detested you being friends with Naruto. After all, they were just a bunch of old, controlling geezers. You and Naruto were both the troublemakers of the village, getting into trouble, being scolded and chased what seemed to be daily. Although Naruto enjoyed this life with you, sometimes he couldn't help to feel that he was maybe dragging you down into the dirt with him.

After you both were sorted into Team 7 with Sakura and Sasuke, Naruto for your sake, decided to clean up his act just a little, so that you wouldn't get brought down by being associated with him. He was grateful for you, cherished your relationship with every step, he wouldn't let his delinquent acts bring you down from your destiny.

With the days' mission ended, Naruto and you walked side-by-side together with the setting sun behind you, walking the bank of the river while Naruto simply complained about Sasuke. "So annoying," this, "stupid bastard," that. But you knew Naruto was just frustrated that Sakura was all over him.

"I mean, what does Sakura even see in that guy!?" He shouted, his eyes closed shut with his hands behind his head whilst he walked, that same old frustrated pout on his lips.
