Naruto is a boy in the manga Naruto. He lives in Konohagakure, which is in the Land of Fire. In the beginning, the fourth hokage sealed the nine-tailed demon fox inside of Naruto. Naruto is the son of the fourth hokage. Naruto started to do crazy things in Konohagakure for the attention, because he is an orphan. Later on, Naruto goes into the Academy to become a ninja. He is paired up with Sakura and Sasuke after he passes. Their teacher (sensei) is Kakashi, which teaches them new techniques and to make sure they don't die. Sasuke introduces himself as an avenger, and wants to kill a certain someone. Right before passing from the Academy, Naruto learns a forbidden technique, the Shadow Clone Jutsu, which allows him to many hundreds of clones of himself.
After many missions, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and the rest of the of the genins enter the chuunin exam. To become a chuunin, they have to battle with other countries, and survive. During this exam, Orochimaru, one of the three senin, interferes with the exam. He bites Saskue on the back of his neck. It's a curse, and Sasuke almost dies from it. With the new curse, Sasuke can obtain lots of power. Orochimaru is trying to find a new body that is strong, and wants Sasuke. In the end, only Neji becomes a chuunin, and Orochimaru battles the third hokage. Orochimaru succeeds in killing the third hokage.
With no hokage to protect the village, they must find a new one. They ask Jiraiya, one of the three legendary sannin, but he refuses. Then, Naruto, Jiraiya, and Sakura seek out Tsunade, the last of the three sannin. She is the granddaughter of the first hokage, and she accepts to become the fifth hokage. She is a healer, and she can punch really hard. Sakura wants to become just like her, a healer. She also becomes Tsunade's errand person, and learning how to heal peopl Sasuke goes to Orochimaru because Sasuke thinks Orochimaru has power for Sasuke to kill Itachi, his brother. Itachi has killed his clan and spared him. But, Orochimaru just wants Sasuke for his eyes, the sharingan. Also, a mysterious group called Akatsuki appears. They are collecting the kyuubi, monsters within people that are powerful. There are only nine, and Naruto is one of them.
Naruto goes along with Jiraiya to receive personal training for two long years. After the two years, Naruto returns. Gaara, and old friend of Naruto's, is captured and killed. When Akatsuki extracts the kyuubi, the host dies. Chiyo is able to kill her own grandson, a member of the Akatsuki. But, Chiyo developed a way to ressurect people, but takes the users life. She dies, and Gaara is revived.
Afterwards, Sasuke kills Itachi. Sasuke learns the truth, from Madara Uchiha. Madara is the first Uchiha, and tells Sasuke the history of the Uchiha clan, the founding of Konohagakure, and why Itachi killed the Uchiha clan. It was actually the advisors, the third hokage, and Danzo, who allowed him to do so. The Uchiha clan was about to rebel for more power. The other countries would take advantage of this, and a fourth ninja war would begin. With nothing else to do, Sasuke joins Akatsuki, to gather the jinchuurikis for the kyuubi. Jinchuurikis are the host of the beast.

President's Weekend
Last weekend, I went to Tahoe, like every other year. I go with my family on the Huey side, along with my Auntie Mimi from my mom's side. The first day we got there, I went skiing with uncle in Soda Springs. We took skiing lessons together; I usually go snowboarding, but I wanted to try skiing that time. It was actually pretty fun, I could do everything fine, except for going slow and stopping on steep mountains. I like to go fast, and to slow down, I turn side to side. Around 2 P.M., we headed to our cabin. My cousins and his friend were already there, playing outside. I got dressed, and went to their fort. They made a huge fort, with peepholes, and made it all by hand. There was actually no shovel there. They were playing a game, throwing snowballs at cars and had a score system. Ten points for the windshield, and five just for hitting the car. One time, my cousin, William, threw a snowball at a car. The person was speeding and on his cell phone. He actually hit the windshield, and the car suddenly stopped. The person came out of the car and started yelling at my other cousin, Lauren, who was going into the cabin. She said she was walking back and didn't know us. He kept saying "fuckers" to us, it was actually pretty funny, and said his friend died from people like us in an accident. He was a very short small man. We saw everything through the peephole thingys. After that, we basically never threw snowballs at anybody else again, until two days later. We started throwing snowballs at our uncle, who was outside parking his car. A car passed by and thought we were throwing snowballs at him. He came back to talk to us saying he doesn't want us throwing snowballs at people, and we were on HIS property. We were like wtf there's no house near here. The closest house we saw was a house all the way across the forest, and a house 50 feet away. He can't actually prove it was his property. It wasn't near a house, and we were on top of a hill, which basically nobody owned.
On our second day, we went to Boreal and it wasn't that exciting. It was very slippery, and everytime I tried to get up, I would slide down. The only thing I liked about that place was that they had noodles with Alfredo sauce. Later on, we went back to the cabin. My aunt made us move out of our original room, where my sister, cousins, cousin's friend, and I were sleeping. My sister and cousins slept upstairs, and had to go on a tiny stairwell to get up. There were spiral shaped stairs, and the steps were steep, metal, and short.

Prompt on Genocide
People participate in genocides for a belief, a reason, or are forced into it. Sometimes, a person may believe a certain race of people should die, and be extinguished from the world. Other times, animals are killed as food, or just because of hate. Genocide doesn't particularly mean killing certain types of people or animals, but also means grouping together. The Native Americans in the USA were grouped together in Oklahoma so the Americans could settle in the new land. Genocide is wrong, and people practice it everyday. Genocide doesn't only apply to humans, but to every living creature.
In War World Two, the Nazi Party created the Holocaust, a mass killing of people with Jewish heritage, mental disabilities, Gypsies, and other people. Their symbol, the peace sign, flipped backwards. It was a symbol of hate, war, and anger. Adolf Hitler believed that Jews were a lower form of human that was not required. Nazis believed this too, as Hitler was their leader. Jews were sent to concentration camps, camps for people to work until they died. They had various tasks like shoveling snow, or working on machines. Sometimes, they were gassed, went on death walks (Elie Wiesel was a part of one), or used like lab rats in medical experiments. Germans were sent in the war to conquer other countries, as well as protecting the mainland. Hitler believed he could conquer the entire world with the help of Italy and Japan. They would declare war on almost every country. They were known as the Axis. The Allies, France, UK, America, and the Soviet Union would try and stop the Axis. In the end, the Allies won, and freed everybody from concentration camps.
Slaughterhouses are located all around the world. Their purpose is to kill animals for meat. Some of the common animals are cows, chickens, pigs, and lamb. Others are duck, quail, etc. The list just keeps going and going. These animals are artificially selected for better traits. For example, farmers pick out chickens with bigger breasts. They can sell more white meat, and get more money for each chicken. White meat has less fat, which most people like. People don't enjoy eating fat. Lard, a common ingredient used in food, is fat. It tastes good, and people don't actually realize they're eating pig fat mixed in with other ingredients. Some people become vegetarians because they believe animals shouldn't die for human consumption. They eat plants, because they have no feeling or emotion. People however will never stop eating meat, and so, slaughterhouses will keep killing animals.
The Indian Removal Act of 1830, signed by President Andrew Jackson, made the Five Civilized Tribes move into the Indian Territory, known as Oklahoma today. Americans wanted access to more land, and forced the Native Americans to move in an area close together, a group. The Five Civilized Tribes consisted of the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole. They originally lived in the Southeastern part of the USA, and were forced to move. The Cherokee were the ones who were hurt the most. They were put in concentration camps, where many of them died of starvation, disease, and the cold. The reason why many people wanted the Cherokee's lands was because of the discovery of gold in Georgia, where the Cherokee lived. People also wanted to explore and settle in the new land acquired from the French in the Louisiana Purchase; and also explore in Florida, where the Seminole lived.
My belief about humanity is when people have a major problem, they will do whatever it takes to get rid of it. In War World Two, many people were grouped together and killed because of Hitler. When people want meat, we raise and slaughter many animals. In the Georgia Gold Rush, people forced the Native Americans to live in Oklahoma. Although my thought about humanity isn't always true. Global warming, a big problem for the world, isn't being taken seriously. It's a slow problem, but builds up through the years. People should try and solve this problem now. Glaciers are melting in Antarctica, and polar bears are endangered because they cannot find glaciers to rest on.

President's Weekend
This weekend, I will be going to Truckee. Not many people know where this is, so i just say Tahoe. I go every year, and it's always really fun. This year, after snowboarding for four years, going to try skiing. My parents said it's easier to control, but when you fall down it's hard to get back up. I just want to see the difference in skiing and snowboarding. Other than that, I'm not doing anything new this weekend. My dad said we were going to leave on Friday morning, at 5 A.M. I really hate waking up that early, and I probably will have to sleep early on Thursday. We plan to get to Truckee around 9 to meet up with my aunt and uncle to take skiing lessons together.
Other than snowboarding and skiing, we always play in the front or backyard of our cabin. My dad's side of the family is going, and my aunt Mimi from my mom's side. We always build forts, have snowball fights, or make a snowman. One year, we made a tunnel, well my uncles made it for us. It was in the shape of a + sign. The next day the tunnel froze, so we got to sit on top of it. Another year we made seats inside our fort just to sit down. Last year, we made a trail around the backyard because the snow was soft and deep, it went up to my knee sometimes. It was fun trying to get around in the snow, lifting my foot up was hard though. My little cousin who is 6 got stuck and got his foot trapped in our trail.
This year, I don't know what we'll do. It depends at what place we stay at. Two years ago, we had a cabin that had a ping pong table, and a slot machine. I liked playing with the slot machine, and eventually broke it. My cousin and sister fixed it for me though. After that, I never touched that machine again...except my cousin broke it a day after we just fixed it. We usually stay at a new place every time, and hopefully this house will be decent.
