(For those confused about mamoru and arata, you will love this!)

Little arata ran over and tagged little mamoru, giggling excitedly as he ran away.

As mamoru tried to tag him back, arata tripped him up, giggling louder when mamoru wiped mud off his chin.

"Look, just cuz the sage of the sun is your dad doesn't mean you can cheat!"

"Yes I can, lowly son of the branch moon sage!" Arata sneered, sticking his tongue out making mamoru growl.

"Shut up! Don't ever call me or my dad lowly!" He tackled arata to the ground, punching him multiple times in the face

Realising he wasn't gonna stop anytime soon, arata summoned sun chakra to his hands, making them glow gold.

He punched mamoru in the stomach, who hissed and back off.

"Using your powers eh? Well two can play at that game!" His own hands flared with silver chakra, and the air around them pulsed.

The two began to fight, arata constantly making jibes and snide remarks.

Funny how two friends began to thirst for each other's blood just because of an single insult.

Then a hand grabbed there shoulders, and mamoru heard his dad sigh. "You should be watching the destined ones, not getting into fights!"

"He started it!" He yelled, seeing arata get pulled back by his own father the sun sage, who was the best freind of the rikudo sennin.

"I don't care, he is a main family member so you must respect him!" His dad exclaimed, and other kids on the streets from the sun line began to jeer at him, laughing and making fun of him.

He clenched his fists.

"THAT ISNT FAIR JUST BECAUSE HE IS THE KID OF AN UGLY OLD ASS DOESNT MEAN HE IS INNOCENT!" he screamed, pointing at the sun sage.

That was the day mamoru spent 2 years in prison.

Eventually, mamoru and arata were forced to co operate to watch over the latest savior, Naruko.
