Obviously all Naruto characters are owned by Masashi Kishimoto, but the story is mine.

Well guys this is my first fan fic, so please leave me a review if its good or bad or if its missing something. Or if it's long or short, I don't know How long to make the chapters. Anyways, enjoy :D

Chapter 1 Useless and Regrets

The sun was setting, alone in the playground; Naruto's slowly swinging on the swing set. Thinking about the past. Five years after the fourth ninja war. The war was a victory in their favor but the losses were great. The rookie 9 are now all jounin or anbu. Sasuke came back to the village, he received consequences but not too harsh because of tsunade and for participating in the war on their side.

Naruto stare's at the swing set besides him. Naruto smirked as he remembers when he was in the playground when he was younger.

Flashback Commences

"Hey you! Nice forehead hahahaha" Sakura looked up to find a couple boys in front of her mocking her forehead.

"Have you seen anything that big before?" the annoying boy pointed

"No but I'm pretty sure it won't be hard to miss" the boy answered back giggling

"Now get out of the swing set, we wanna go you ugly forehead" boy said while pointing at Sakura. Sakura looked down sadly wishing she wasn't born with this forehead.

"I think it's pretty cute"

Sakura looked up to see where the unknown voice came from. Not to far from the boys came a little blonde.

"Hey it's that kid, mom told me not to hang around with him" the boy's whispered towards each other.

When the blonde got to them one of the boys pushed him away.

"Get away you freak" as one of the boys yelled the other was walking towards Naruto, Sakura was confused on why they were treating the blonde bad.

"Hey what's your problem" Naruto yelled as he stood up from the floor.

"You! You freak!" the boy lunged to punch him while the other boy ran to kick him.

"No please stop it. Why are you hurting him" Sakura pleaded as she got up from the swing set. "Here look, take the swing set, there's no need for you to-" Sakura stopped astonished as she saw Naruto quickly get up punching one of the boys making him fall.

"Freak!" the boy threw dirt at Naruto and dashed off with his companion.

"Are you alright?" she looked as Naruto stood up taking the dirt off his face.

"Yea I'm ok I guess, stupid jerks" Oh she's pretty, didn't think she was this pretty up close.

Naruto raises his hand

"Hehe, names Naruto ya know." Naruto puts on a foxy grin.

"Naruto huh?" Ya know? What the hell?

Sakura raises her hand about to shake but gets yanked out of nowhere.

"Sakura we must get going" Sakura's mom was pulling her then stopped as she looked at the little blonde boy.

"Oh hi! Hehe" Naruto brushed the back of his hair as he greeted her nervously.

Sakura's mom widened her eyes in fear, she quickly pulled Sakura's arm and walked quickly towards the exit of the park.

"Listen to me Sakura don't you ever talk to that boy again, stay away from him."

"But why mom? He didn't do anything"

"Just listen to your mother!"

Sakura and her mother fade in the distance.

Naruto sighed "Her too huh." He looked down. Then to the swing set.

Flashback Ends

Naruto staring at the swing set then smiles.

Out of all the things I could've been thinking about, why this? But that day was important to me. That's when I first met my crush, she still is.

"So what are you doing out here by yourself?" a mysterious boy asked as he walked towards Naruto.

"Nothing much just thinking, you don't really seem the type of person to walk through the park and start a conversation with someone Sasuke."

Sasuke sighed. "Well you look like a complete loser out here, I was just wondering that's all." The uchiha sits at the swing next to Naruto's.

"So how are you and that other uchiha? Obito right? Heard you guys night get cut some slack, you know for what you did in the war."

"Hmph, I helped the village didn't I? And as for Obito he's only still alive because he came to our side at the end. Just hate how he manipulated to do stuff."

"Is that the only reason why he wasn't executed? I mean he did start the war in the first place."

"Well I heard he was somewhat of a hero in the third great ninja war." Sasuke stared at Naruto and noticed he was all beat up from the mission he just came from. "Loser are you even ready for tonight?" Sasuke stood from the swing set facing him.

"Oh right, just deep in thought here. It's at 8:30 right? Did you bring a gift?" Naruto stood from the swing set.

"Of course I brought a gift idiot, its 6 so you got like 2 hours to get her a gift."

"Of course I have a gift for her dumb shit!"

"No you don't, I suggest you get to it"

Sasuke turns around and walks away from Naruto. "2 hours" He yelled as he disappears.

"Ok, so I don't have a gift, wonder how he kn-"

Naruto stopped as he heard a 'poof' behind him. He turned to see an anbu who probably has the worst smile ever.

"Excuse me Naruto, but the hokage has sent me to get you"

"Oh ok, guess I should head there now then. By the way sai are you ready for tonight's party? Heard it's gonna be a blast."

"Why yes of course I'm going but before you leave to the hokage, what does it mean when a party is going to be a 'blast'. Should I be concerned?"

"Urm… I'll tell you later." Oh man how clueless can this guy be.

Naruto dashes off the park and towards the hokage's mansion.

*Knock Knock Knock*

"Come in" the hokage Tsunade shouted.

"Ya you called me granny?" Naruto walked in the office closing the door behind him.

"Why yes, Naruto it's quite a surprise what were gonna give you."

Give me, what would the hokage want to give me. Wait! It can only mean!

Naruto's eye's widened.

"MORE FREE COUPONS FOR RAMEN?!" Naruto shouted in excitement.

"No baka, 21 years ago when the nine tails attacked, it destroyed almost every piece of the village including the fourth's house. So we recovered some stuff, or what's left of it"

"So where is it?"

"In that box to your left"

Naruto glanced and saw the box. Man I'm curios what could be inside. What my parents had. Was dad into ramen? Or maybe mom had left over coupons for ramen?

"Take it, that would be all" She resumed back to her work.

"Well then I'm off granny" Naruto grabbed the box and left with a wide smile.

Hmm I wonder what's in here.

A/N. Please leave a review and tell me how it went. I have a LOT of interesting pieces for this story. I'm looking forward to continue writing it. Hmmm what could be in that box, and what Obito is in the village? What's going on here? Yea Obito is my fav character. He'll be in an important role to the story.
