The Path of a Shinobi (Reader x various)

Academy

"I'll show you! Shadow Clone Jutsu!" The blonde haired boy formed a hand sign and smoke appeared right in front of him. Once the smoke disappeared, two minuscule clones that were the size of a rat appeared in front of him which caused the boys to laugh at him.

I clicked my tongue in annoyance at them and walked over the young girl who remained on the ground.

"Are you okay?" I asked and she slowly lifted her head and there were tears in her pupil less white eyes which had tinges of lavender in them.

She wiped away her tears and nodded her head as she bit her lip. I extended my hand out to her and helped her up from the cold ground, but I turned around once I heard the sound of a loud hit, only to see the blonde with a bloody nose and busted cheek.

He fell back and landed on the ground hard and lay there while the kids proceeded to grab his red scarf and stomp on it and do as they please to ruin it.

I gritted my teeth at their actions and let go of the blue haired girl and stomped over to the boys. Their laughter began to die down once they saw me approach them.

"What do you want?" Said one of them as he eyed me from head to toe in disgust.

"Pathetic," I scoffed and snatched away the torn scarf from his hands.

"What did you say?!" He got right in my face, but I wasn't fazed by him and simply inched closer his face.

"I said PATHETIC."

"I think this girl wants to be taught a lesson," one of the other boys stepped up and cracked his fingers once he laid eyes on me.

"The only lesson that will be taught is how I can kick each of your asses in a fight," I smirked which irked one of the boys.

"Why you...!" He raised his fist and aimed it at my face, but I lifted my hand and caught in my hand which surprised all three of them.

"What the hell do you get out of being mean to them?" I tightened the hold I had on his fist and placed my other hand under his arm. I stepped in closer to him to the point where my shoulder was touching his body and then threw him over my shoulder and onto the ground.

The other two boys gasped and the one who was on the ground glared at me and shouted, "Why do you care? You're not even from here!"

"Yeah, get lost!"

"Outsider!"

One of the boys yanked the scarf out of my hand and I immediately turned around to see them towering over me and glaring down at me while I glared right back at them. I bit the inside of my cheek to refrain myself from lashing out and it didn't help that they shoved me, sending me stumbling back.

I growled at them and abruptly stood up and despite being smaller than them, I tackled them to the ground. I raised a fists above their faces and punched them across the face, leaving a swelling red mark on their cheeks. I raised it once more and they flinched at my hostile behavior and closed their eyes in fear.

I scoffed at their cowardly behavior and got off of them and snatched the scarf from their hands once again. I turned around to face the other boy whose eyes widened and he began to stagger away and ran off crying for help.

The other two boy scrambled to their feet and ran off in the opposite direction. I rolled my eyes at them and walked on over the blonde haired boy, Naruto, who had regained conscious.

"I'm not done yet! Where are they?! I'll make a stronger clone this time!"

"They're gone," I flat out said to him and he sulked. I extended my arm out and in my hand was his scarf, although it wasn't in the best condition anymore.

"Here."

He glanced at it and skimmed over the tattered scarf and dismissed with a wave of his hand and glumly said, "It's okay."

"Sorry..." I muttered since I felt bad that it was terrible condition now. If I had stepped in sooner then maybe this wouldn't have happened.

"(Y/n)!"

I turned around to see Sasuke with rosy cheeks as a cold breath left his lips who was waving at me to come over to him.

I turned away from him and faced the dark blue haired girl and Naruto before glancing down at the scarf. I handed the scarf to the girl not knowing what to do with it and I turned away from them.

"Ah! W-Wait!"

"Hm?" I looked over my shoulder to see the girl bow her head.

"Tha-Thank you very much!"

I smiled at her and glanced over at Naruto who was rubbing his cheek and mustered a smile although it hurt. I nodded my head at them and ran off towards Sasuke.

"Who were they?" Asked Sasuke as he peered over at them and then directly looking at me.

"Someone I just met," I said with a shrug of my shoulders and Sasuke nodded his hand in understanding before he grabbed my hand and pulled me along towards the academy.

As we were walking away together, I didn't notice the red string of yarn that was attached to the hem of my sweater.
