*Takeru POV*

"I have made my decision, Takeru" The Hokage exclaimed interrupting my thought

"Y-yes sir" I replied nervously

I waited nervously for the Hokage to tell us what he had decided for me whether I stay in the village, or leave and have no home.

"You shall be accepted into the village and be living with Yamato" The Hokage answered

'I'm so glad, I don't have to leave' I thought about to cry

"T-thank you Lord Hokage" I said bowing

"You need not be so formal young Takeru"

"Then may I call you uncle"

"Of course"

"Thanks you uncle" I said with a smile

"We shall be taking our leave Lord Hokage" Yamato interrupted

"Alright Yamato, give Takeru a tour of the village"

"Yes Lord Hokage"

With that Yamato and I left the hokage's office and went around the village.

"So what will you be showing me first Yamato" I asked Yamato

"Well there are a few places we could go" Yamato answered vaguely

"Stop" A voice yelled

"Huh, what was that"

"Hehehe, catch me if you can" Another voice yelled

I looked to the source of the voices to see a man in a army like outfit and a boy the same age as me wearing a white shirt with a symbol similar to the leaf symbol, blue shorts and wild blond hair holding a paint brush and can.

"Why does he have that paint" I asked out loud

"Just look at the great rock formation" Yamato answered

I looked at the formation to find that there was paint covering the faces.

"Wha, he did that"

"He does it often, his name is Naruto Uzumaki, in the village people neglect him because of a dark secret"

"Thats horrible why do they do that, doesn't he have a family to stop the people from neglecting him"

"He doesn't have parents, they died on the day he was born"

'That terrible, I want to help him'

"Yamato, I'll be right back, can I meet you back here after"

"Alright"

I ran in the direction that Naruto was escaping from those 2 guys I soon caught up with the men chasing Naruto, but they had lost sight of Naruto.

"Where did that brat disappear to" The first man yelled

"I don't know, lets split up" The other man yelled

At that moment they disappeared in 2 different directions.

"Hehe those idiots" I heard a voice say behind a wall

The owner of the voice revealed himself to be Naruto.

"Hey" I called out to Naruto

*Naruto POV*

'Crap was I found' I thought

I look for the source of the voice to find a boy around my age with short blue hair spiked on the left side, wearing a green shirt with a white flame pattern, blue shorts and blue sandals.

"What do you want" I asked

"I just wanted to talk to you" The boy replied

"Why would you want to talk to me"

"Well, I just arrived to this village and wanted to become your friend" The boy replied with a smile

"There he is" A voice interrupted

"Crap" I said

With that I ran away without responding to the boy.

*Takeru POV*

'Thats too bad I really wanted to become friends with him so I could help him deal with all the hatred and pain' I thought disappointed that Naruto disappeared

I was walking through the village unsure of where I am, I couldn't even see the Hokage building I decided to ask someone for directions.

"U-um excuse me" I asked a boy nervously

The boy turned around to reveal a boy wearing a simple long-sleeved black shirt with a raised collar, and black shorts, has black eyes as well as black hair with a blue tint to it. His hair is spiky in the back, and he has chin-length bangs that hung above his eyes.

"What do you want?" The boy asked

"My name is Takeru Masaru, I'm new to this village and am looking for my guardian, could you point to where the Hokage building from here please"

"Sure just go down there and you should see it"

"Thank you um"

"My name is Sasuke, Sasuke Uchiha"

"Nice to meet you Sasuke" I replied with a smile

"Same to you Takeru"

With that I had a short chat with Sasuke before walking down the path he pointed for me when.

"Arf, arf"

"Hmm"

I look at my feet to see a small white puppy with brown spot ears was at my feet.

"Hi there little guy are you lost" I said kneeling to the floor to pat him

Just then a boy with messy brown hair, sharp black eyes with vertical slit-like pupils and pronounced canine teeth. He also has the distinctive red fang markings on his cheeks.

"What are you trying to do with Akamaru" The boy asked with slight anger in tone

"Oh u-um I'm sorry I was just gonna pet him, I apologise if I made you angry" I said bowing to apologise

"Huh, uh, no I should be sorry I thought you were trying to hurt him, but now that I think it about it Akamaru seems to like you"

"Arf, arf" Akamaru barked wagging his tail

"Akamaru is a nice name, doesn't that mean red boy?"

"Thats right, you're a cool guy, my name is Kiba Inuzuka, whats your name?" Kiba introduced

"Nice to meet you Kiba, Akamaru, my name is Takeru Masaru, I'm new to the village"

"Well then I hope you enjoy your life in our village, well we gotta run, lets go Akamaru"

"Arf, arf"

With that Kiba and Akamaru ran the other direction.

'Those two were really close, well I better go meet up with Yamato' I thought heading to the now visible Hokage building

I was running to the Hokage building to reunite with Yamato but after looking around the outside I couldn't find him so I decide to consult the Hokage.

"I hope the Hokage oops I mean uncle can point out where Yamato went" I said to myself walking down the hallway

Suddenly I hit something as I was walking down the hallway hitting the floor hard, I was rubbing my head in pain.

"Ow" A feminine voice said quietly

I look up from the ground to see a girl my age with her hair was in a short, levelled hime-cut style just above her forehead, with chin-length strands framing her face with blank grey eyes with a shy expression on her face wearing an orange kimono with a man with the same eyes as the girl with long black hair wearing a traditional, loose fitting robes with a long-sleeved, brown haori.

"I'm-I'm sorry, I should have watched where I was going" Takeru said bowing

"U-um i-its ok, I-I'm fine" The girl replied blushing from embarrassment

"You should be careful little boy" The man said with confidence

"Ye-yes sir I'll keep that in mind in the future sir" I replied bowing once more

"It seems you are well mannered young one, what is your name" The man asked

"My name is Takeru Masaru sir" I replied

"A fine name, I am Hiashi Hyuga and this is my daughter" The man introduced

The girl that I bumped into was behind Hiashi holding onto his Haori from the back nervously she let go of the robe and came in front of me.

"M-my name is Hinata Hyuga, nice to meet you" She greeted nervously

"Nice to meet you Hinata" I replied sheepishly

"I'm sorry but I must go see the Hokage, excuse me" I continued bowing

As I finished saying that I left down to continue to the Hokage's office.

*Hinata POV*

'He's....different' I thought a slight blush appearing on my face

"Lets go Hinata" Father said to me

I lightly nod and father and I leave the Hokage.

*Takeru POV*

I walked into the office to see the Hokage once again talking to Yamato who seemed to be waiting for me.

"Ah Takeru, Yamato was just ready to look for you" Hokage stated

"I see, sorry to keep you waiting Yamato" I said

"Its fine now lets go home" Yamato said

"Ok"

'From this moment Yamato and the rest of the people in the village are my family' I thought smiling
