 “What!? The old man is quitting!?” Naruto shouted, making some people look up from their food in curiosity. Iruka had taken him to Ichiraku Ramen for a celebratory meal and, up until that moment he had been engrossed in his bowl, but the news tore him away from it. Despite rumor, Naruto had higher priorities than ramen; the Hokage, Iruka, and training, in that order, ranked above it. “Yes. The news was revealed during your second bowl. You have to remember that the Hokage is older now than he was when he retired the first time, and not even the strongest jutsu can stop the passage of time and its effects on the body,&rdqu

 Several days passed and the Academy exam had finally arrived. A blur of blond hair streaked down the street as Naruto raced to make it to the Academy on time. He'd slept in, so he thought, because his clock's alarm was broken and because he had trained extensively the past day, so his toast was hanging out of his mouth and his orange jacket was flapping in the wind as it hung halfway off of him. Unfortunately for him, he just happened to turn a corner and run right into someone, sending them both sprawling onto the dirt road. His nice-guy tendencies kicking in, he quickly got up and helped up the person, saying "Sorry for running you over! I

 "Saito," the Hokage began, "please explain what this new ability of yours, this 'All-Seeing Eye', is. Is it a bloodline limit?" "I doubt it, sir. It was a taught skill, though it did require some minor surgery to increase the chakra flow to the eyes, similar to the Sharingan and Byakugan." Saito, who stood at attention in front of the Hokage's desk, activated it. The pupil changed from a circular shape to a triangle with what appeared to be a smaller eye in the middle. "It enables me to see into the soul of someone. It's somewhat similar to what the Yamanaka family can do, but rather than invading their mind and taking control, I can see t

 "... and here are my findings, sir," a masked man said as he handed a folder to the old man sitting across from him. "If you don't mind my saying, sir, I'm surprised you haven't found someone else to take over for you. If I remember correctly, you were enjoying your retirement by gardening. Has no one else risen to fill yours and the Fourth's shoes?" "No, not really," the old man replied, his weariness evident in his voice. "I only have a couple of potential candidates, and if the Uchiha revolt hadn't happened Itachi would likely be sitting here." He began to quickly read the contents of the folder, his mind committing everything on the pa

Disappointment A Naruto Fanfic By: Shinigami Miroku That's all I've ever been… That look is all I see. Every day, with a little exasperation thrown in, A look of anger mixed with pity. Their eyes only see my mistakes; Though they say they love me And want what is best, Every night I end up crying. My friends try to help, Solace and friendship, they're giving But it fails to cheer Because I think I'm undeserving. I'll never give up, though, Because that's my creed, And the one who taught this Waits to walk with me.

 As the door slid shut, Hiashi Hyuuga's expression changed from the stoic visage that he wore as the head of the clan to one of a man lost for years and run-down throughout the years. No one would dare to enter his room, as per his strictest orders, so he knew this was the one place he could be himself. Shirking his clan robes, he donned his mourning cloak and sat down in front of a platform that held a picture of his deceased wife surrounded by slow-burning candles, their light casting a sorrowful shadow over the entire room that was otherwise unlit. Tears silently cascaded down his face as his mind replayed their final moments together. "

"Breakfast is ready!" a small voice rang out from beyond the door as Souji's eyes opened. They almost closed again, but he noticed the clock and moaned in frustration. "Time to get up anyway... troublesome." He got up and got dressed for school, trying to remember what he'd dreamed. "Stupid nigh
