Prologue: The Masks we live by

Today was a special day. Today was the day of the final graduation exam of the academy in the village hidden in the leaves. Today was a day when children would celebrate with their parents for becoming registered ninja of the village. Today was a day of happiness for all of those who would graduate. However, today was not the day to celebrate graduation for two young people. These people had failed the graduation exam and would have to wait another year in the academy before taking the exam again. Or that is what they were told.

These young kids' names were Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuuga.

Naruto was a loud, annoying, brash, confident prankster who would yell to the world his dream of becoming Hokage. He was also an orphan and a nobody, and the village pariah.

Hinata was a shy, reserved, quiet young lady who would never dream of hurting anything. She was constantly blushing and hiding her cute face into the heavy coat she wore everywhere, regardless of temperature. She was also the heiress to the biggest and most well renowned clan in Konoha, the Hyuuga.

People who saw these two sitting outside the academy together by the lone tree swing couldn't help but pity them. Or at least they pitied Hinata, there was no way in hell that they would ever pity the demon boy who they blamed for destroying the village 13 years ago. If anything, they pitied Hinata for being lumped in with the demon as a failure. The people saw these two kids looking depressed and thought they knew everything about them.

They didn't know how wrong they were.

The truth was that these two had known each other since a fateful event when they were five. That event changed their lives and created the masks that these two wore now. These masks encompassed everything about them, from their looks to their attitude. These masks where the reason that they failed. These masks were part of their plan that they had carefully worked on since they were 5.

Today was special for these two indeed. Today was special because today was the day that those masks would fall. Today was a turning point in their young lives. Today was the day that they revealed themselves for how they truly were. Today was indeed special.

So that is the prologue. Kind of short but it got the background information that was necessary out. The actual chapters will be much longer.
