CHAPTER 1(edited)

The green eyed boy was leaning against the walls gazing at the scene in front of him. He had been volunteering at the orphanage for almost three months whenever he got free time. He had yet to tire of the sight of the children playing with each other or of reading story books imitating the voice of the angry lion or the brave ninja.

He still remembered the day when the rogue Death Eaters who escaped prison attacked his house. He was caught unaware and had been unable defend himself. The next thing he knew a violet light hit him and darkness enveloped him. Deprived of almost all his magic, he found himself in a small village called Taiga. That was where he had learned the art of sealing.

When he stumbled into the village with nothing but the clothes on his back, the villagers were rather wary of him. The strange young man wearing even stranger clothes with a foreign name. Fortunately for him,an old woman took him in.

'Perhaps she had seen the hopelessness in my eyes.'

Suki was an Uzumaki, a seal mistress, one of the few to survive the destruction of Uzushiogakure. She found something in the green eyed boy which made her teach him all she knew. He wasn't a master by any chance, but he was quite adept at it. She also taught him about chakra and the hidden countries. Everything to survive in the strange world he found himself in.

'Didn't that surprise me when Suki-baachan told me about the existence of shinobi?'Hari thought. 'To think that people here killed for a living and no one found it strange that even small children became killing machines. I was so shocked. Strange, it doesn't seem weird now.'

After Suki-baachan died, he decided to travel through the nations. This was how he met Gai, the Green Beast of Konoha and Taijutsu master who was on one of his missions. When the other learned that he was a budding seal master, he convinced him to come to Konoha, The Village Hidden in the Leaves. However strange and loud he found the other man, Hari had to say, he was kind of endearing too.

After a few more months spent travelling, Hari decided to accept Gai's invitation.

'I can honestly say, I haven't regretted it', he thought. 'Even though it was annoying to have been followed by shinobi for the first few months, it is alright now. I am now one of the few seal masters of Konoha which is a highly demanding yet satisfying job. It does help that the pay is great too.'

"Hari-niisan?" called out a seven year old little blond boy interrupting his thoughts.

His name was Naruto Uzumaki. One of his most characteristic feature was the whisker marks on his face. The other was his sunshine blond hair. The small boy was the main reason why he volunteered at the orphanage and the reason behind his happiness.

He still remembered their first meeting. He had been walking back home after a particularly tiring visit to the administrative building when the blond crashed into him.

*Flashback starts*

Hari let out a pained groan as he hit the ground. He was nursing his back when a tearful voice brought him out of his thoughts.

"I-I am so-sorry, mister. I didn't mean to hurt you. Pl-Please forgive me."

That was when he looked up at the source for his pain. He had been thinking about giving that person a piece of his mind. But the face of the tearful little blond froze him.

'Something about the kid seemed so familiar'

Hari broke out of his daze when he heard the sniffles getting louder. He could see the villagers glaring at the child and calling him bad names. Reminded of his own painful childhood, Hari glared back at them unleashing small amounts of killing intent ,enough to make them cower.

"Ne ,what do you think you are doing? Don't you people think that you are overreacting?"

"That brat is nothing but trouble. We just wanted to help you from that good for nothing little-", a middle aged woman called out.

"Mind your own business, grandma",Hari said coldly intensifying his KI.

The woman seemed to recoil. Hari looked back at the kid who was now looking at him with stars in his eyes.

"Mister, why did you defend me?"

" Because I wanted to."

The blond's smile at the comment rivaled even the sun. Hari could feel his heart clenching as he gazed at the slightly malnourished frame of the child. He then brightened when he came to a sudden decision.

"Tell you what, why don't I treat you for a lunch? To make up for getting you into trouble with the villagers? You can have anything you like."

"Yatta! Mister,can we go to Ichiraku?"

"Don't call me mister, kid. You make me sound so old. Call me Hari",Hari whined.

"Ok,Hari-nii-san",the blonde beamed. Then he turned serious. "Be glad that you get to be called nii-san by the awesomest shinobi ever."

"Oh really?Then may I know the name of the 'awesomest' shinobi?"

"Uzumaki Naruto"

*Flashback ends*

He was so surprised to hear that surname again. After hearing that he was an orphan, he immediately made a request to the hokage to adopt him. This placed him under further scrutiny from the anbu until he explained hi connection with the name Uzumaki. It still didn't completely get them off his back

Although he was denied the right to adopt Naruto,Hari was determined to be there for him. That was when he came across the flier requesting help at the orphanage. Seeing the chance he took was how Hari became the nii-chan of the jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi.

Yep, he had also figured out the reason why his request was denied. He was a seal master after all. Gai's avoidance of the matter when asked about it also confirmed it for him.

'Konoha suck at keeping a secret.'

"Nii-chan? Are you listening to me?"

His face was scrunched up in a questioning frown. Hari thought it made him look even more adorable than usual.

"Yes, Naru-chan. What is it?"

"I have always wondered, why do people hate me?", The blonde asked sadly. "Today one of the kids at the academy called me a monster. Am I really one?"

"Course not. My cute little brother cannot be a monster",Hari said. "He was just angry that you are more awesome and adorable than he is."

"Really?"

"Really. You are the coolest shinobi,aren't you?"

"Yes. Yes", shouted Naruto happily.

"Keep it down, kids", the matron was a kind brown haired woman, one of the few to see Naruto as the child he was. "It's time for dinner"

The kids all ran to the dining hall.

"Say,Naru-chan,did you learn anything today"

"It was all boring. Iruka-sensei was teaching history. Why does a shinobi has to learn history,ne?', said Naruto.'When I am Hokage,I will make the teachers teach only jutsus. Sasuke-teme was acting all cool and Sakura-chan was so pretty..."

Naruto went on talking. Hari was listening with amused silence, sometimes intervening with appropriate comments and admonishments.

'I had never been this happy in my life before. I feel like I'm finally home',Hari thought with a soft smile playing around his lips.
