“Papa....” Umeko quietly whimpered, gripping onto her fathers pantlegs in fear. She didnt wanna go to school!voice squeaked out. Satoru looked down at Umeko and sighed, his eyes were red and puffy under his blindfold. “Umeko, what's wrong?” He asked in A gentle voice squatting down to be next to her. Usually Satoru was the type of Dad to be constant fun, he wasnt the best with emotional support. But he couldnt cop out anymore, Kei was gone. And he had to step up.

Umeko jumped into his arms and refused to let go. “Umeko I know you're nervous about this but trust me. You're gonna make some great friends.” Satoru attempted to comfort her, his voice still slightly Hoarse. “But you didn't go here when you were little… Why do I need to?” She asked. Satoru sighed looking down at the red-eyed girl.

“Thats because my parents werent cool,they didnt let me do fun stuff and ruined my fun!” He gave Umeko a small smile, hoping his little act would cheer her up.. Umeko looked up and nodded shyly, still clinging to his jacket.

He sighed picking her up and approaching the building, the swirly symbol on the front was carved into stone and the large imposing red doors made Satoru internally roll his eyes.

As he opened the doors he looked around for the main office, once he found it he rang the bell. When A Kunoichi rounded the corner he gave A small wave to which the woman ran away in fear. He sighed “Drama queen…”

“Sir?” A meek voice asked. He looked back to the main office desk to see A young woman standing there. He smiled and waved at her, walking closer. “Hello, I'm here to sign my daughter in.” He explained. The woman nodded and pulled out A small book flipping through the pages.

“Name and daughter's name?” She asked. “Satoru Gojo And Umeko Gojo” He smiled. As soon as the words left his mouth the woman looked up in fear. She gulped down and attempted to keep her composure

“A-ah yes, I- uhm…” She stuttered attempting to find her voice once more. Satoru’s expression quickly turned sour, he was hoping this wouldn't be taking too long but clearly, the people of this village still feared the mention of the Gojo clan's name.

Satoru didnt like his clan either but it got tiring to have everyone look at him with such fear and disdain. He just hoped it wouldnt effect Umeko too much.

Either way, the Gojo clan was full of pretentious assholes that wanted to further their own agenda and could care less about the rest of the world. Satoru was ashamed to say he was even related to them but sadly he was. They even called him the clan's paragon when he was younger. By some miracle he didnt become A sociopath like the rest of his family.

“Im sorry but could you hurry up please? I don't want my daughter to be late to her first day of school.” Satoru sighed as his patience was beginning to run thin. Usually Satoru was cheerful and happy, often preferring to goof off and have fun rather than be formal all the time. “Ah- yes sir!” The woman squeaked and handed him A small form, it was the regular ninja academy spiel. He quickly signed it and handed it back over to the woman.

“You read it that quickly?” She asked in disbelief. “You got A problem with that?” Satoru shot back with A smirk. “N-no sir.” The woman stumbled over her words like A baby fawn learning to walk. Satoru rolled his eyes and began to walk away with his daughter gripping onto him like A baby Koala. “Oh sir! We usually don't allow parents to drop their children off directly at their class- '' The woman attempted to catch up to Satoru leaving the office. “Well make an exception.” He groaned, not wanting to argue with A poorly paid school secretary at the moment. The woman gulped and looked away in fear. “Y-yes sir.” She mumbled and walked into the office once more.

Satoru walked away now supremely annoyed and considered just enrolling her the following year. And as much as both of them would like that it would be easier on the poor girl's social life to go to the academy at the same time as everybody else.

Satoru knocked on the classroom door and was met with A brown-haired man with A small scar across his nose bridge, and A leaf headband brandished across his forehead. “Ah you must be the missing student! My name is Iruka Umino” He asked in A rhetorical fashion, Umeko ducked her head into Satoru's chest to avoid eye contact with the man. “Sorry she's always been A bit shy…” Satoru sighed, stroking her hair.

“It's alright, I deal with shy students all the time.” Iruka assured him. Satoru began to pass him Umeko who began to cling onto him harder. Satoru sighed and set her on the ground. “I promise i'll be back, okay?” He promised to hold out his pinky. Umeko sniffled and held out hers. “But i dont want you to be back! I wanna stay with you…” She whimpered. Satoru nodded and grasped her pinky. “I promise youre going to have fun. Just trust me on this one Ume.” He assured her, giving her a goofy smile to make her happy.

Umeko shyly nodded and inched over to Iruka giving her father A little wave, Satoru giggled and waved back. “I'll see you after school, Ume!” He cooed happily. As soon as he left the door frame Umeko felt her fears begin to swirl in her stomach like an angry tornado. Her emotions quickly calmed when she felt A hand ruffle her hair, she looked up to see Iruka patting her head with A kind smile. She smiled back feeling A little better.

“Alright everyone! Since our missing student is here we can finally start introductions!” Iruka announced. He kneeled down to Umekos level and gave her A small smile. “Go sit up there next to the girl with the dark purple hair.” He pointed to A desk in the corner of the room to which A girl was sitting. Umeko nodded and got to the desk mentally doing gymnastics as her stomach flipped at the feeling of eyes watching her.

“Uhm can I sit here..?” Umeko asked in A meek voice to the other girl. “O-oh, yes of course…” She mumbled out. Umeko sat down and gave her plenty of room not wanting to be A bother. “Alright everyone! Let's do our introductions!” Iruka announced

There were A few excited gasps from students and small chatter before Iruka silenced them by putting his hand up. “Alright first up-Aburame Shino?” Iruka asked, looking around the class, A boy meekly raised his hand. “Ah there you are Shino, now come on and introduce yourself!” Iruka said cheerfully.

“My name is Shino Aburame… I like bugs…” Whatever else the boy mumbled out it was too quiet for the class to hear. “A-ah, that's very nice Shino. Ehm Akimichi Choji!”

A brown haired boy got up with A large smile spread across his face. “My name is Choji Akimichi! I like eating!” He cheerfully announced. Umeko was less confused by his declaration and more impressed at his social skills. ‘He just got up and did it… He didn't even hesitate…’ she thought.

“Alright thank you Choji, Next up is-'' Iruka paused and looked up to Umeko with A scared look. Umeko had hoped he already knew her last name and did not fear her but it was the same look she had always gotten. “U-Uhm, Next up is Gojo Umeko.” As Iruka called out her name she internally cringed and got up. She was pleasantly surprised to see that nobody in the class looked scared or angry, some were suspicious but most just looked at her like A real person, it caused A small smile to grow on her face.

“My name is Umeko. I like cats!” Umeko plucked up all of courage and spoke. She immediately sat down as Iruka slowly continued. She began to tune the introductions out, becoming tired of the same old formula. And then suddenly an annoyed voice broke through her foggy daze.

“My name is Sasuke Uchiha.” The boy was annoyed and he clearly didn't want to introduce himself in the first place. “Okay Sasuke, could you tell us something you like?” Iruka asked. Sasuke huffed and turned away, refusing to say anything more. Iruka sighed and decided to move on to save his brain cells. Umeko looks over at Sasuke with A curious glance to which he glares back. Umeko shrinks back into her seat and all of her curiosity leaves her body as her anxiety returns.

“Alright, Uzumaki Naruto.” iruka called out A small tint of disdain laced in his voice. Despite the hate evident in the teacher's voice, the boy jumped at the opportunity. “My name is Naruto Uzumaki Believe it! And I'm gonna be the hokage!” His voice was happy and full of determination, a stark contrast to the boy who came before him. “Seriously? We don't even know you yet and you already sound like A jerk! A pink haired girl shouted. “Yeah.” Another girl huffed. Umeko looked down at the unfolding conversation with intrigue as she watched the group argue.

It was almost fascinating to watch people interact in Umeko’s eyes, an intrinsic dance as you glide through topics like an elegant form of Ballet. However, she was aware it wasn't exactly A common thing that most six year olds enjoyed. That's exactly why she never shared it, well if she had friends to share it with in the first place.

As the introductions finished they had moved outside to start with A lesson. Umeko was A bit nervous since she had never been all too good at controlling any form of chakra. She knew she had the ability because of A few lucky tries but besides those parts of her kekkei genkai would just activate on their own. It was really troublesome for any form of training.

“Alright, so we can see how everyone fairs were going to do some basic duels. Nothing intense just to see where you all stand in the form of skill.” Iruka explained. ‘Well atleast Mister Iruka won't be scared when he sees how weak I am…’ She thought. Umeko was never all too skilled in the self confidence department. “Alright, let's start with drawing lots.” Iruka pulled out A small box full of paper slips with the students' names.

Iruka reached his hand into the box and pulled out two small white slips of paper. “Shikamaru Naara and Choji Akimichi, please step forward.” As Iruka called out their names the two stepped forward. “So uh, Sensei?” Choji called out it A nervous voice. “What is it?” Iruka answered. “The thing is… I really dont wanna have to fight against my friends. Y’know?” Choji confessed. “Well… look Choji this isn't like A fight. This is traditional shinobi hand to hand combat. Even our hokage and those before him participated in such drills and became stronger by sparring!” Iruka explained. Shikamaru began to walk away from the dueling circle rather uninterested in the prospect of fighting his friend. “Yeah, Look sensei. Just go ahead and put down that I went out of bounds, Okay?And then we can move on to the next pair.” Shikamaru sighed. “Hey wait-” Iruka called. “You might be calling this training or whatever but if there's gonna be A winner it's actually A match.” Shikamaru explained. “And since that's the case wouldn't it save you some trouble to decide who wins from the start?” Shikamaru asks.

“Boy he really has no motivation. He's never gonna make chunin like that!” Kiba exclaimed. “That's not entirely true…” Shino mumbled. Kiba looked over at the hooded boy, intrigued by his words. “It's because people can change over the course of A lifetime, a lot can happen…” He pondered. “You are so hung up on minor details!” Kiba whined.

“COME ON SHIKAMARU!” Ino yelled. “YOU ARE THE LAZIEST KID I'VE EVER MET! AND CHOJI YOU'RE JUST A COWARD!” Ino berated the two boys disappointed in their lack of drive. “Hey Ino do you know those two boys or something?” Sakura asked, curious at the girl's outburst. “Yeah, sort of. Our parents are friends.” Ino explained.

“Forget it. Shikamaru, Choji. Give the unison sign.” Iruka sighed. “Oh right, I forgot.” Shikamaru yawned, walking towards Choji. They stood in front of each other and each curled their thumb and folded their pinky and ring finger, making the sign towards each other. “I'm really sorry Shikamaru.” Choji apologized. “Nah it's okay. I know you stink at stuff like this. And it's A drag for me too…” Shikamaru sighed. Iruka looked on with A smile, at least the two had learned something.. “Good. Unison sign complete.” Iruka sighed.

“Next up is… Naruto Uzumaki!” Iruka called. “YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!” A loud voice yelled from beside Umeko, she jumped a bit not realizing the boy was there earlier. Part of her wanted to talk to him. Make friends with him or do anything but her mouth wouldn't move. She just looked shyly at the boy. She really wished she wasnt so shy, maybe then she could actually be friends with some of them

“Wait, is he the one..?” One kid whispered. “My parents said I wasn't allowed to talk to him…” Another continued. “Out of everyone here I want to be paired with him the least!”

Umeko looked over at him and A small smile fell upon her face. Maybe there was somebody else who the adults of the village feared. “And Sasuke Uchiha! Step forward you two.” Iruka called.

Umeko felt A pang of fear. Sasuke Uchiha, wasn't that the boy who glared at her earlier? “Sasuke get him!” One cheered

“Go Sasuke!” Another added “I wish I could do the unison sign with Sasuke…” Another dreamily sighed.

Umeko was A bit confused, all of this for A boy who was more threatening than kind? Honestly it appeared that he hadn't even spoken to any of them. What had put them in such A trance-like state for A boy? “You got this Sasuke!” Ino called. “You're totally gonna win! I'm sure of it!” Sakura cheered.

Umeko looked over to Naruto and saw him walking into the dueling circle. He seemed rather upset, Umeko couldn't blame him. If she had everyone cheering against her she’d feel pretty bad too.

“LETS GO! I'M GONNA WIN THIS FOR SURE!” Naruto yelled.

“Uhm- best of luck Naruto-” Hinata attempted to cheer the boy on but was immediately interrupted by another student. “TAKE HIM DOWN SASUKE!” Umeko smiled at Hinata, at least there was one other girl who wasn't affected by whatever poison seeped into the others minds. “Alright it's Naruto Uzumaki versus Sasuke Uchiha-” Before Iruka could even finish his introduction he was interrupted by the spikey haired blonde. “COME ON LETS JUST DO THIS IDIOT!” Naruto yelled. “Hey, stop that Naruto. You need to make the proper spar sign before you two begin.Its simple etiquette” Iruka demonstrated. “I don't care about any of that stuff! I just wanna hurry it up and defeat this jerk already!” Naruto declared.

“It's time for A new mister popular around here y’know!” Naruto yelled. “Whatever loser, but I'll make it quick if that's what you want.” Sasuke teased. “Enough. Both of you, good grief.” iruka rubbed his nose bridge. As both got into A fighting stance there was A small pause of silence before Iruka called out.

“BEGIN-”

It took Almost no time at all. Sasuke struck Naruto to the ground holding his fist over his face. There was A small pause as Sasuke stood over Naruto's body, but before it could get too odd, Iruka put an end to it.

“Sasuke wins, now make the unison sign so we can move on.” Iruka explained. As Sasuke began to walk away Naruto flew up onto his feet quickly. “H-HEY COME BACK! You weren't even looking at me, that didn't count!” Naruto called itching for A re-match. Sasuke looked back at him and smirked. “GOT SOMETHIN TO SAY TO ME YOU HARD AND RUNNY CRAP TURD!?” Naruto yelled, he probably had more insults too but it was ended by A swift punch to the head from Iruka. “I TOLD YOU HAND TO HAND COMBAT IS A SACRED TRADITION! NOW MAKE THE UNISON SIGN!” Iruka yelled. “AND YOU TOO, DO IT SASUKE!” Iruka called, making sure to not leave either of the boys out of his reprimand.

Naruto got up and huffed walking towards the center of the circle. As they were in their proper standing spots they both grabbed each other's shirts with glares.

“You wanna go another round you loser?” Sasuke asked with venom in his voice. Iruka ran towards them getting fed up by their incessant bickering. “Hey enough! Quit it, both of you!” Iruka groaned.

“Narutos just the worst!” One student bitterly insulted

“Yeah what's up with him?” Another added. As Naruto began to run off Umeko ran after him, stopping him just before he reached the fence and catching his arm. He looked back at her with an angry glare. Umeko suddenly realized she had probably gone too far and retracted her grip and began apologizing.

“I-Im sorry… I just thought that you were pretty cool. I- I just thought that you needed some company…” She looked away now feeling A bit ashamed by her outburst. Naruto looked at her for A moment before the cogs in his head clicked into place.

‘That's where I know her from!’ He thought.

漫~*'¨¯¨'*·舞~

It was always better to sneak around, more efficient. Naruto was huddled in an alleyway corner behind A stack of boxes to stay out of anyone's sight. He had stolen A piece of bread from A stall. He didn't have any allowance money left from the third but it wasn't like the villagers would actually give him food in return anyway.

As he sat huddled with some bread he heard A passing conversation.

“I still can't believe the third is allowing them to stay here…” One sighed.

Naruto's curiosity immediately dropped. From the way they were speaking he automatically assumed it was about him. But before he could tune it out his assumption was proven wrong.

“I mean really? That family has done nothing for us, the Gojos act as if they are better than us in every right! They stay out of village affairs in their stupid sanctuary they hide in.” A woman granted to the other. Naruto's curiosity rose listening to the two. He had never heard of the clan. Everyone knew of the Uchiha, Senju, and Hyuga but he had never heard of the Gojo.

“I'm sure lord third has A reason for letting them stay here, he wouldn't compromise our safety more than he already has letting the monster stay here.”

There it was. The obligatory mention of Naruto under the odd pseudonym that he never could fully comprehend. What did he do to earn the horrible name? Nobody would ever give him an answer, not even the Hokage himself.

“Whatever lord thirds plan is. I'm sure of its sound. We just have to deal with them as long as it's in motion.”

漫~*'¨¯¨'*·舞~

‘I knew I heard her name before!’ He thought. A large smile spread across Naruto's face. Umeko smiled, hoping at least something she did made him feel better.

“You're A Gojo. Right?” He asked with excitement. Umkeos smile dropped, it seemed that the boy she had temporarily found solace in felt the same. She frowned and looked away. Naruto's eyes widened as she began to inch away.

“Wait! I promise it's not anything bad! I- I heard people around the village talking about your family and I guess I'm just curious.” He attempted to explain. Umeko smiled and walked back towards him.

“I'm not really sure why so many people don't like us… Dad never really likes to tell me. He says I'll understand when I'm older.” She said Naruto's smile didn't falter, in fact it might have grown bigger.

“That's okay! Uhm do you wanna maybe- be friends?” He asked, trying not to come off too strong. Umekos' smile grew, her little eyes sparkling like never before. “Yes! I- I would like that.” She accepted A smile spread across her features.

“Naruto!” Iruka's voice called out. The two children looked over to see Iruka running over to them.

“Umeko, was he bothering you- I can call your father if you would like-” Iruka seemed to be panicking looking at Umeko as if she was A shard of glass.

“I'm alright, I just wanted to make sure Naruto was okay.” Umeko answered, trying to come off as confident when she in reality came off closer to her fathers threatening aura. “I- yes right…” Iruka stuttered out. “Just come back this way, we still have duels to go through.” Iruka instructed. Naruto and Umeko followed him back to the rest of the class who were impatiently waiting for their return. “Seriously Naruto? Did you really have to run off?” A kid groaned. “Yeah now we had to wait for Iruka to drag you back over!” another scoffed.

Naruto frowned and looked away. Umeko held his hand and looked at him with A warm smile. Naruto smiled back, maybe the academy could be fun…

Satoru stood waiting for the bell to ring and dismissed the students. He was nervous about Umeko being teased or being lonely but he held out hope for her to at least make one friend. He noticed A presence beside him and smiled. The man's dark brown parted hair was unmistakable along with his dark black eyes.

“Youre Fugaku Uchiha, right?” Satoru hummed in acknowledgement. The man looked over and gave him A curt nod. “You got A kid in the academy too?” Satoru asked. Fugaku nodded with A small smile. “Yes, my eldest actually just left the academy. My youngest just joined today.” He hummed. Satoru smiled.

“My daughter joined today as well. Maybe they are in the same class.” Satoru pondered. Fugaku chuckled. “I would hope so, it would be nice for my son to have A Gojo as A rival.” He jokingly said. Satoru smiled over to him, “You know you're the first person i've met here other than the Hokage who doesn't fear me irrationally.” Satoru observed, Fugaku shrugged and let out A small sigh. “Most of the people of this village have never been welcoming of change.” Fugaku explained. Satoru nodded and adjusted his blindfold atop his eyes to make it feel more comfortable.

“What's your son's name, if you don't mind me asking.” Satoru asked, looking over to Fugaku, tearing his eyes away from the academy doors. “Sasuke.” Fugaku answered quickly, leaving an air of silence. Satoru nodded as if to approve. “My daughter's name is Umeko.” Satoru sighed. Fugaku chuckled and looked over to Satoru with A genuine smile. “That's A lovely name for A young girl.” He smiled. “Thank you.”

Their conversation was interrupted by the loud ring of the academy bell. Students poured out the doors and rushed to their parents excited to tell them about their day. Much to Satoru’s surprise it seemed that Umeko wasn't one of the first ones out. However he saw A young boy run into Fugakus arms, presumably his son.

When Satoru looked back to the doors he was surprised to see that Umeko was walking out with another child. They had spikey blonde hair and small whiskers on their cheeks with bright blue eyes. Satoru recognized the appearance, it was the exact same as the description of the young jinchuriki boy he had heard of.

As soon as Umeko spotted him she ran full force into his arms. Satoru laughed and lifted her into the air laughing, as she giggled excitedly to see her father. “Umeko! How was your day?” Satoru asked, a large smile on his face.

“It was really nice… I made a friend! His name is Naruto!” She exclaimed Satoru smiled and set her down. Umeko ran back to her friend and pulled him over, Satoru frowned when he realized the boy's expression was far more fearful than excited. Once Umeko had dragged him over she seemed to make the exact same observation as her smile dulled into A frown.

“Naruto what's wrong?” She asked looking over to the boy. Fugaku looked at Satoru with A judgemental expression. Satoru looked back with a blank face, as if to shove the man away. Satoru crouched down to Naruto's level and gave him A smile.

“Hello Naruto. It's nice to meet you.” Satoru attempted to keep his tone leveled so as to not scare the young boy. Naruto's face morphed to shock. He had met adults before that didn't hate him, like lord third or Teuchi. But he had never met anyone else. And it especially shocked him as the man seemed to brandish a leaf headband across his eyes. “You… you don't hate me?” Naruto asked, his voice full of disbelief. Satoru laughed and looked back towards him.

“Why would I? After all you're my daughter's friend, why wouldn't I like you?” He asked with fake curiosity. The boy was clearly self conscious and not exactly emotionally healthy if that was his first instinct.

“No-it's not that I just-” Naruto attempted to stutter out any form of reasoning for his question. However Satoru just ruffled his hair. “Here. How about you and Umeko go out tonight? I could treat you guys to some food. I mean as long as your parents dont mind.” Satoru offered. Satoru was well aware that the boy had no parents, but he didn't want to come off like A stalker so he asked anyway. “Y-yeah they wouldn't mind!” Naruto answered excitedly at the prospect of free food. Umeko smiled looking up at her father. “Thanks dad.” She said, giving him A hug.

“No problem Ume.Now come on! Where do you wanna go?” Satoru asked. Naruto knew exactly where he wanted to go. But in the moment he didn't mind where they went. He was just happy he made A friend, a friend that wouldn't disappear because of their parents warnings. He was happy, maybe the academy would be nice after all…
