A large frown appeared on his apprentices face when he had asked about his past, it seemed that toshiko had a troubled past as well, it was quite common among ninjas, but his story was defintly not common,
"......I........ Um.....................
I was born and raised in konoha underneath my parents, Shikuzu and Tetsuya Uzumaki. I loved both of my parents. but my dad....... He was normal at first. But when i was five he started distancing himself from me and my mom. I never understood why. Probably cause i was too young to notice. I joined the ninja academy at the age of five. I was never able to keep up with every one else. I was always at the bottom of the class, and everybody seemed to hate me simply for being me. I was always so lonely. The only person i could confide myself in was my mom. Every day i came home from the academy crying, she'd be there to make me feel better. She always told me that no matter what, one day i'd end up becoming hokage. And ever since then, that became my dream. I'd go to school everyday, telling everyone who disrespected me that one day i'd become the hokage and they'd have to stop disrespecting me. That just made them laugh at me even more. It really sucked. But one day.......
I was at the ninja academy training all day one day when i was six. I was trying to master the supernatural walking technique so i could go home and show my mom. And i did. i couldn't believe it, but i managed to do it. I was so happy. it was dark out, and i was starting to head home. I got to my front door and...."Wolfgang saw his apprentice break down then, tears started streaming down his face as he tried to continue his story, it seemed that he was bringing up memories that still hurt, Wolfgang envied that feeling...pain, Wolfgang hadnt cried since he was 4 and he was told that he was always going to be a fuck up and he cost so much money that his mom couldnt afford booze, even though she somehow still did,
" It was wide open....... All i could see was blood. All i could smell was blood. All there was was blood. my father stood over my mother, his signature sword in her stomach. Blood was spewing from both of his eyelids. His eyes..... They were blood red, and the pupils had become a distorted circle. I just stared at him. I stared at him not knowing how to react to it. I just looked at it.For what seemed like Forever. He... stared into my eyes, a smile on his face. Then he just got up and left. He told me he'd be back for me one day. I didn't pay attention to him. I didn't care. I just went over to my mom, and laid down in the pool of her blood in my living room floor. I didn't know what else to do. Eventually, people came in. they helped me, and a group of anbu were sent out to retrieve my father. They never came back. My mom was buried, and i was left to live in a new apartment all on my own. When i came back to the academy, nothing changed. people still underestimated me. People still made fun of me every day. I was alone with no friends for the rest of my time in the academy. I finally became a genin this year after failing the exams so many times. I never thought i'd be able to do it. I realized that the only way to keep my mother alive was through my dream. To become hokage. That's why i want it so much. That's why i never give up."
Wolfgang looked at his apprentice, at the hope in his eyes at the end of the speech, seeing the very reason he woke up in the morning, it was nice, Wolfgang then answered in a somewhat less somber tone, while patting toshiko on the back
Thats something, You're strong to make it through that and still be here with me today...
You know what Toshi, sometimes i envy you, your mother seemed to be a wonderful lady, she loved you very much, and nothing can compare to that, and that must have been hard on you, i wish i regretted killing my parents with that broken whiskey bottle of theirs, but i dont, i...and...i..Hokage is a wonderful dream, there was many a morning that i woke up in my alley and wondered why i kept going, what was holding me down, back when i was younger i thought it was to gain as much power as i could so i could kill everyone, i filled the emptiness of my soul and numbness of my body with anger, im so glad that you did not follow my path, how similar are beginnings were and how different our roads are, Ive killed far to many people in my life far to many, im in the triple digits at least Toshiko, dont follow my path, not many make it off the road i was on,
Like, when i was 6 years old, i had been going to the ninja academy for a few weeks, come home and walked to my parents, to hug them or greet them, and their reaction was of pure regret and hatred, they had named me off of their true feelings, they wouldnt even hide it from me, i was confused why they didnt want to know about my taijutsu lessons, and that i was best in class, they just told me that i should just go and die in the ditch beside our home, that their booze costs to much for me....*sigh* We've had hard lives eh? toshiko, but in the end we do what we do because we want to, so were all here so some reason, I relized that when i became a sage, that all of the worlds animals are on equal footing with me and you, i went to the sages fortress with my knife in my hand and anger upon my face, my first test was that of fear and strengh, there was a 12 foot tall Wolf, i found it insulting, so i lunged at it and tore it to pieces, not even knowing it was a test, the next was meditated...you should have seen how bad i was at that...still am Tell me of your road to being a Sage as well if you dont mind''
Wolfgang then saw a bird flitter down and land on his now outstreched hand, stopping the patting on toshiko since he had no other limbs to do actions with, the bird sat on his cut up hand and tweeted happily, Wolfgang turned to his apprentice and smiled wide, hoping for a responce
