In a certain alley in konohagakure, an almost 3 year old child lay down of the floor. Bruise littered across his body, lips bleeding, fist clenched, eye's fuzzy, looking at the cloudy noon sky.
His shoulder length black hair lay scattered on the ground, dirtied brown by the dust. His what would be a cute appearance was covered by some of the bruises on his face.
Even though the sky seems beautiful, to the young boy eye's it is lackluster like everything else in the world. He closes his black dull eyes and after some time, he decided to return to home (if it could be called one) where he will most likely get berated again.
Slowly, he tried to rise up from the ground that resulted him to wince in pain. His body still aches from the beating he got from those damn bullies.
After some time, he managed to stand while huffing with hands holding on to the alley walls. He then slowly stumble his way towards that hellish place while grunting and cursing.
Along the road, pedestrian in various forms and situation would occasionally look towards him. Some were curious, some would pity him, and the others could feel whatever they want as soon enough they would just ignore him and continue on their life.
His haggard appearance, rugged and patched clothings, and dirty face could just be the reason of them not helping. To them it's quite a common sight to see especially from what he heard, the demon fox attack around 3 years ago.
A sentence just pop up into his mind, they were treating him as if it was some random NPC encounter on their everyday life, though he doesn't exactly understand what it means.
Soon enough, he reach his destination. a big wooden building with a big wooden plaque show up in his sight. He can't read but from people around here, he heard that the words on the plaque is burning leaf orphanage.
Feeling the familiar presences inside the house, he slowly walked towards the orphanage doors when suddenly the door opens and a man he knows walk out of the house.
It's uncle Wakame wearing black clothing and a hat to hide his bald head. He is the only one who treats me(or rather us) better then all others no matter how little he did.
He would stop those bullies when he sees them try to bully me and the others. He would even sometimes help me by giving medicines, which he is quite grateful of, knowing his financial situation.
Although he can't really do much because all his expenses was given by the matron of the orphanage meaning the mother of those bullies gang leader, Gyoza.
As he meets face to face with uncle Wakame a silence ensues. After sometime uncle Wakame spoke.
"Hey, kid.. They... have done it again don't they?" Uncle Wakame questioned, the kid could only nods towards him.
"Well, be strong okay? Hurry up and enter before she complain again. The winter is near and it's going be cold outside soon." Wakame spoke while patting the incoming kid head.
The kid once again just nods and enter the orphanage. Wakame stood still in front of the door for a while as he see the child haggard silhouette entering the house. Wakame could only sigh and slowly left the building, heading towards his cozy home.

~Mc POV~
As I walk past the living room, not shockingly, I see the matron standing on the hallway. She stands tall with her brownish white hair, plump body, and hand's crossed with an observing gaze towards him, blocking his path.
"Where have you been?" She questioned, seething like a calm before a storm. I could only stand silent towards her judgmental gaze.
"Haven't I reminded you all yesterday to behave for this 2 days? So WHY are you like this?" she questioned once again. I could only once again stay silent, knowing whatever i said would only worsen the situation.
"Like I've said yesterday, as punishment, no dinner for you tonight." She snap at me. "Yes, aunt Chashu." I answers while secretly a bit shocked, a rare case of leniency by her which is as rare as a blue moon.
As I was about to walk towards my room, aunt Chashu spoke " Tomorrow morning go and leave the orphanage after breakfast. Don't return till the night comes."
I just keep walking towards my room while she heads toward the bustling dining room that soon be quiet as she enters it.
After a while i reached my room and lay on the bed if you could call it one. The 'bed' i was talking about is just a mattress on the floor with a small pillow that feel as hard as a rock yet still comforting as it's better than nothing.
As i stare to the ceiling, i close my eyes and think about my whole life up till now. While holding my protesting stomach, I could feel a throb inside my heart, a desire to end this life, a concept i don't know where it comes yet it was something my mind just seems to crave, a craving that seems to surpass time and space itself.
As the hunger clouds my mind and the cravings seems to get stronger and stronger, suddenly i hear the door slam opens.
'Not again..' I snap back from my dangerous craving and groaned in my thoughts as i open my eyes just to see the 3 dastardly bastards a.k.a the bullies themselves have arrived.
in the middle, Gyoza, a plump kid with brownish pink hair and the leader of the bunch. To his right is Moyashi, the tallest and the fiercest yet dumbest of the bunch and to his left is Tamago, the fattest, shortest, yet the scheming rascal of the bunch.
Gyoza and his merry band of misfits would terrorize us orphans as he technically owns the house and we, the mongrels, was gracefully accepted by him and his mother.
"Stand up, weirdo!" Gyoza ordered. I didn't respond, I just look straight at him with my dull eyes and ignore him.
Feeling a bit nerved by my staring and the lack of response, he elbows his minions and nudging at them to speak.
"Moyashi, lift him up!" Tamago responded after some thought. Moyashi directly follow orders and now holding me on my back like some ruffian dragging a corpse scene. I could only click my tongue at this as I'm too exhausted and too weak to resist. Besides, I'm kinda used to it.
"How do you feel? We're so worried about you. We don't want anything to happen to you don't we?" Gyoza sarcastically spoke.
"Shut your yapping, Peppa pig!" I responded while starring intently at his eyes with my dull gaze.
"No you shut up weirdo. I bet your parents leave you because of it." Tamago responded hurriedly after seeing Gyoza was about to shout in retaliation for the unnerving feeling he got from my stare.
(A/N: Mc eyes were more menacing than kobayashi-san dull eyes)
After hearing this, instead of angry, I became much calmer while in my mind, I'm analyzing how to slip out of Moyashi hold and punch his ass licking face cause I've had enough of this and decided to ditch this hell hole tonight.
After a while a plan was formulated in my mind that would probably work. As both Gyoza and Tamago keep ranting on and on about unimportant shit and whatnot, I slowly positioned myself and try create an opportunity to strike. I've got to be fast before that momma pig comes.
"Hi aunty Chashu." I said while i looked towards behind Gyoza and Tamago. In a shock, both Gyoza and Tamago look backwards and see nothing while I kicked my dirty wooden sandal beside my mattress towards Gyoza.
The sandal fly and slap the back of Gyoza head with enough force to make him stumble and fall head first. Then while Tamago is busy trying to lift Gyoza up and Moyashi in deep confusion, I slap both of my hands towards both of Moyashi ears, causing his ears to ring.
Then he releases the hold due to the sudden vertigo and nausea. While he tried to hold on his balance, I took this opportunity to charge straight ahead and punch the unprepared Tamago face real hard that some of his teeth and blood flew out.
(A/N: Never-ever slap someone in the ears. It could lead to burst/ruptured ear drums and start an ear infection, bleeding, and lost of hearing! Vertigo and Nausea is also included in one package as an after effects of ruptured ears.)
Then while the goons were groaning on the background, I instinctively jab the panicking Gyoza right in the gut (coincidentally right at the solar plexus). Causing him to kneel and puking his just finished dinner.
"Take that you sick ambushing bastards! This is for what you done all this time." I said while huffing and puffing. Usually, i really can't fight against Moyashi and win due to the fact that not only he is healthy and well nourished, he have a very good constitution that if he ever train taijutsu, it'll be the end of me.
As all 3 of them are groaning in pain, I feel the disturbance in the force, somebody is coming towards here. I'm not gonna wait for the torture if she comes.
I directly wear my sandals, open the windows, jump out of it and started running will all my might. (Thankfully both sandals were safe from the slime bombs as Moyashi also starts puking too on top of a nearby mattress)
