Chapter Fifteen: Naruto Part Three
Yes, I walked away from them after telling Naruto my answer. I walked away from him and sat in front of the window.
Sometimes people might wonder why I do such silly things and get away from the hero of the story.
For the simple reason, I don't want any problems.
I took a deep breath as I looked out the window. The students hadn't started arriving yet. She'd woken up at 5:00 a.m. to get morning exercises ready before I arrived.
I wasn't surprised when Naruto approached me. This had been happening for a whole year, but I was confident in my decision to stay away from him.
Not because he's a bad person, but because he might be a source of trouble in the future. After all, I'm in the village now, and I'm still just a civilian. Getting close to the Hokage's son could cause a lot of trouble, and the worst of it would be me joining his team. Why?
In most of the fantasy stories he'd read, Naruto was just a hated person in the village, but what about now? Suzuki thought about the way the children greeted Naruto.
Naruto was now a national hero, hailed by others. Being the Hokage's son, along with always being in the top spots, made him a shining star in the region. Suzuki, who was still thinking of ways to increase his power, didn't want to work or get close to this star.
There are other reasons, most notably that he's still a vessel for the Nine-Tailed Fox. This means that Akatsuki will soon embrace him when he grows up. Having him on the same team or being friends with him could cause a lot of problems, one of which would kill me.
Things have changed in this universe, so it's not safe for Suzuki to be with the hero, especially since he's unsure of his future with him. What caused Suzuki to pull away for a moment was Suzuki's gaze at them, especially the black-haired man who was talking to Naruto.
That young man was Uchiha Itachi, the traitor to the clan, the uncrowned Hokage, the filial son. There were many nicknames for this man, but Suzuki called him the Madman.
With a few words and a wish for peace, he was able to kill his entire clan in one night. So, staying away from this madman was Suzuki's best option for survival. What if he went mad one day and demanded Suzuki's life? What would he do?
So Suzuki wanted to practice illusions. He didn't find the time, but I'm sure having something to protect him from Uchiha illusions was necessary, especially since most of the future and most powerful enemies in the ninja world so far are Uchiha.
Time passed and the students slowly arrived. Suzuki watched most of them. They were from the major clans. There were some people from the Nara and Akamichi clans, as well as the Yamanaka clan. They started to enter, and then there were some members of the Uchiha clan. There was an Uchiha girl, and Suzuki recognized her immediately.
That girl was looking at Itachi lovingly, surrounded by other girls. That girl, according to Suzuki's memory, was Uchiha Izumi, Itachi's lover. In the original story, Itachi didn't seem interested in her, but the girls were the exact opposite—they were interested in him and Naruto.
I took a moment of peace at this moment and thought sarcastically that you should stay away from him, he will kill you, you stupid girl.
But I didn't say anything after I finished. Teacher Jiro entered the classroom. His face was always stern, but I knew that this teacher was very kind. He helped me a lot in mastering chakra control and overcoming what I didn't understand in this world. It was an easy study after all. I was a university student, and the questions asked at the Ninja Academy back then weren't difficult for me to master, beat, or solve. I would even get first place sometimes, and it would trade places between Naruto and Itachi.
"It's good to have you all here. I want to tell you something." The lesson ended. Teacher Jiro spoke loudly. He looked at everyone. I felt his gaze on me for a moment, but it quickly returned to everyone. Then he said:
The Hokage himself said he would come to check on you, and even said he would come to inspect your final exams for this year. Each of you has spent more than four years at this academy so far, so the Hokage is interested in your progress.
He started explaining everything, and I understood what he was saying. It seemed as if the Hokage was seeking you out, adding new talents to his arsenal, or that he was very interested in some of the people here. This class was very important to him. After thinking for a moment, Suzuki understood why the Hokage wanted him to come here. He definitely wanted to know the people he wanted to hunt. That was only natural.
Four years later, the Hokage must nurture the next generation. These are the ones who will replace the ninja who died in the past years. At the Nine-Tails' speech, Suzuki listened intently to the explanation.
Presented by Teacher Jiro
The Hokage is coming here, and you must show him just how capable you are. Remember, this is very important for your future if you want to become a great ninja.
After he finished speaking, the other lessons began, and finally, after the lessons were over, I was ready to leave, but at that moment, a voice I knew very well interrupted me.
Don't you want to come with us? How about we train together? Naruto was the speaker, approaching my house quickly, a smile plastered on his face. Honestly, his smile was contagious, and I wanted to smile back, but at the same time, I felt it wouldn't be appropriate. I couldn't stay in the same place with him.
"Sorry but I like to train alone." I grabbed my bag containing my books, preparing to leave, but I quickly grabbed Naruto by the shoulder.
Alyssa, it's boring being alone. You're always training. Don't you have anything else to do?
These words made me stop and wonder if there were other things I could do.
I had a lot of work to do. There are a lot of enemies coming in the future. There's Madara, Obito, Zetsu, and many people, including Nagato. So did I have time to play? The answer is no. But can I say that for Naruto? The answer is similar, and it's no.
Honestly, I'm not bored. I like training on my own. The two of them stopped, even Naruto's eyes twitched. It was like he didn't expect me to do that, I always do. This wasn't the first time he'd approached me and offered to go with them, but I'd always refused.
Naruto, leave him alone. He might not want to stay with us. Itachi's words confused me for a moment. I didn't understand what he was saying. Did he know that he didn't want to be with them personally? He didn't know why, but he felt it, and Itachi was secretly evaluating him.
"You're right," Naruto said to Itachi and looked at him. "But I wish you'd come with us. You're very strong, my friend, and I want us to train together to become ninja." He spoke enthusiastically, as if he really wanted to train with me. Honestly, I would have loved to if I had the chance.
The only practical experience I gained was through fighting against other individuals and civilians while training at the academy. I even fought Naruto and Itachi a few times this year, but I still couldn't stay with them. If I stayed with them, the relationship between us might deepen. I didn't want to form relationships with the story characters, yet I didn't have the strength to help them. Any additional feelings might cause my death in the future if I didn't have enough strength to be with them.
I'm sorry, Uzumaki-san, but I can't train with you. I like to train alone, and besides, I'm very weak. I'm not exaggerating. Compared to them, the other students and I were very weak. They were on a different level than us. In every fight I had with them, I felt very weak. I knew they were gaining me some experience, but I wanted to train with people on my own level.
There was a sad sound coming out of Naruto's mouth "Okay, I understand that but if you want to train with us just tell me" I turned to them one last time before I left After I left I went straight home and put my things there After that I went to the library I sat here to study and write the homework the teacher gave me The answers to the questions were very easy and I finished it in half an hour of work My motto has always been that working hard is beneficial to finish and get extra time

{ Naruto }
"He left, right?" Itachi asked in a sad voice I couldn't hide from him. He was my friend, and he should have known that even if I said otherwise.
"That's true… he doesn't like staying with us." I agreed with Itachi. It was true, but I wanted to talk to him badly. Why? Because I sensed he had a different type of chakra. I told Itachi so.
I could sense all the village chakras, but Suzuki's chakra was different, it was purer, it was clear when it was on the border, it was like a mirror that showed complete calm and serenity.
Moreover, he was different from the rest of the villagers. He didn't try to get close to me, and I wanted to be more than him, to become his friend. I wanted that. "Well, how about we go out for lunch? I don't want to go home."
Home had always been lonelier than I'd ever been at the academy. Not to mention Grandma Tsunade or my Third Grandfather. I was all alone at home. My mother only cared about my little brother Kazuto and my little sister Haruno. They were the only ones on her mind.
I remember how she used to call me, and how I used to celebrate my birthday, but now it's been a long time since I've had one. Even my godfather doesn't come near me anymore, and all he seems to think about is the two children. He used to say I was a prophecy child, but he stopped saying that a long time ago.
"Yeah, he's not going." Itachi took my hand and we left. We arrived at my favorite ramen restaurant. Mr. Toichi was sitting there.
"How is my dear Naruto?" my sister Ayame smiled at us. From across the table, my sister Ayame spoke to me. With her black hair and white skin, she had always been like a big sister to me. I smiled at her and said with excitement from my heart, "Wonderful! Sensei Jiro taught me so much. He even told me a lot of cool things." I spoke the truth. Sensei Jiro was an amazing person. Was it true that he wasn't able to teach Itachi and me much?
However, he didn't punish us when we ran away and practiced outside. He found out we were using shadow clones in class, but he didn't care and didn't punish us. That's why I loved that teacher so much.
"Here's the ramen." The food smelled so delicious that I felt most of my sorrows disappear.
We thanked my sister Ayame and sat down. After the food was served, we started eating. Silence fell over that moment. I knew it was just for me. He seemed to sense my feelings.
After a short silence, she said, "Naruto..." He said my name and then paused. There was something in his head he wanted to say. I was eating quickly, but put the plate aside after I swallowed.
"You're my friend… you can ask me anything," I told him. I saw his gaze as a sea of questions. I waited for him to tell me.
"Listen carefully, I know your relationship with your parents isn't good..." he said in a low tone. I looked straight ahead to make sure my sister Ayame and Mr. Toichi weren't there. I took a deep breath and said,
"You say that, Itachi... You've known about my family's situation for a long time..." I scoffed at his question. He wasn't angry, but continued,
It's not a good idea to think that way. The Hokage is working in the village. There is definitely something distracting him from you.
That's Naruto's idea again.
Is it normal that he's so busy with me? Why is my mom busy too? Why does he only think about her, her, Rumi, and Kazuto, when he gets home? Why doesn't he ever think about me? Even my mom doesn't celebrate my birthday anymore, I said, sadness filling my voice.
"Do you know who I celebrated my birthday with?" I said clearly as I held out the bowl of spicy ramen. I looked at the spicy sauce that sat atop the delicious noodles in the bowl as I repeated those words.
The atmosphere in the store was silent. My eyes were fixed on the bowl Naruto was holding. He knew the answer, and Naruto knew it too, but he didn't say anything else.
After the silence, they paused and went back to the kitchen to eat. Ayame looked at Naruto who was eating, tears filling her eyes. She said sadly, "Father, why would they do this? Don't they realize that Naruto is lonely?"
Like a worried sister, her heart was deeply saddened when she saw her little brother, the son of sorrow. Her father was also looking at her, knowing all too well what was going on in his daughter's mind. He didn't know what to say. He just remained silent. That was his only answer.
Silence was the only response she received after her question. This continued until Naruto and Itachi left the store after lunch.
