“Thank you for the bread.” Naruto decides on a response. It’s been a few days since he had solid food and the bread is weighing heavily on his stomach. Naruto wants to shout ‘bullshit’ but doesn’t have the energy. “Your chakra is strong.” Zabuza states like it’s a fact. He knows the light in his blue eyes are gone. “Naruto.” He responds back in a small voice-not even recognizing his own voice anymore. Naruto didn’t even think twice just used his tiny hands to gobble up the food before the man could take back the gesture. A long arm reached out and a piece of bread was exposed in the palm on the strange man’s hand. Naruto scrambled up from the snow, body shaking and weak. Naruto looked up with wide eyes and an open mouth. He had a Village Hidden in the Mist band on his head, and wrappings covered his mouth. It was snowing, and Naruto was barely even alive anymore his ragged clothes doing nothing against the frigid air. The man was tall, covered in blood, and had a long sword attached to his back. Naruto was alone for a full year, barely alive, when he met a man. Some times a nice older lady, or gentleman, would feel bad for him and give him food and a warm place to stay. He was beaten up a couple times for no reason. He had to chance eating random food found along the way. He jumped from one tree to another and kept going until he was beyond the boarder wall. It was hard for him to climb a tree but he made it. He left in the middle of the night when security was very lax. He packed a bag filled with little clothes and mostly food. He couldn't comprehend why they were so mean to him only him. He’d rather make it on his own then deal with the cruelty any longer. But even no village was better than this abuse. He had no friends, and now he had no village. That’s when he decided, he would leave Konoha for good. They called him a monster said he should die. They sneered at him as they grabbed their children away from him. There were a few adults nearby who saw what took place. They took one look at Naruto and pushed him down. Naruto was five years old and wanted to play with a group of kids at the park.
