About the story:

She's the girl who can't seem to have others keep their eyes off her. Not cause she's attractive, but because she isn't.

She's the girl that's constantly teased and denied of any meaningful friendships. Not cause no one refuses to speak with her, but because they act fake or she drifts away from them.

The girl who's cynical and insecure yet sensitive to the core.

Nia Umino is the kunoichi whom is a master at taijutsu, a decent genjutsu user, but a complete amateur at ninjutsu. She's a strategist in glasses and is determined to find a certain Toad Sage sannin who'll help her in two different prospects of her life.

He's the boy whose been alone his whole life. Not cause he chose to, but because it was forced upon him.

He's the boy who was treated like a monster. Not cause of how he looked or act, but because of what's inside him.

The boy who's optimistic and confident yet stubborn to the core.

Naruto Uzumaki is the ninja whom is diligent in whatever he does, empathetic and kind to the unfortunate, but impulsive in battle. He is a knucklehead who never goes back on his word and is fixated on making the ninja world he lives in a better place for everyone.

Both are understanding individuals who wish for complete contentment and peace in their everyday lives. But what will happen when our broken heroine finds herself developing feelings for our kindhearted hero... who happens to be too infatuated with Sakura Haruno's physical beauty to make sense of Nia's growing attraction toward him?

Will Nia be able to grow on the ninja, or will Naruto leave her with a broken heart due to her appearance?

Hi there. Can I call you Nia?

Nia is fine.

Welcome and thanks for agreeing to talk to us today.

Hello, everyone. It's really nice to be here. I hope you're all doing well.

Can I get you something to drink? Water? Soda? Coffee? Wine? Whiskey?

Diet Mountain Dew would be fine, but get the one with zero sugar. I should really watch my sugar 😅

You got it. Tell me a little about yourself?

Well, to be honest. I don't really know what to say. Naruto always tells me that I'm really shy, but the truth is... I'm only that way with him cause I love him. He makes me really shy. However, I guess I'm in the process of learning to love myself. I've never really had good self esteem due to others bullying me for my appearance, but with Naruto's support, I'm sure I'll be able to love myself completely one day.

Where do you live?

I was born in the Hidden Leaf, then when I was a toddler, I was taken to the Hidden Cloud where I stayed there till I was 16. One day, I had went rogue due to being unable to handle the treatment the people in my village were giving me and that was when I met Naruto and Jiraiya-sensei 😃😃😃

Though they disapproved of my actions, when I explained myself, they let me travel with them for some time until we made it to the Hidden Leaf, where I now reside in after some crazy events had went down. Man, I'm sorry, but going rogue was the best decision I ever made lol ❤️

Do you have any jobs or hobbies?

Well, I am a shinobi and I like to write a lot. My dream is to settle down and become a great author just like Jiraiya-sensei!

That is an awesome dream! What are some of your likes and dislikes?

My likes... erm... Naruto ❤️❤️❤️ As for dislikes... Rats and spiders and evil, judgmental people 🙄😤

I'm with you. What is your greatest fear?

There's a few actually. Sorry I can't choose just one 😅

Being betrayed by someone I love (esp. getting cheated on), having someone I love die or never be able to contact again, and being alone for the rest of my life 😭

If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be?

Well, I know I should be fine with myself, but if I could change anything about my life, I'd definitely would make myself physically beautiful. I know, I know, it's pretty selfish, but I just can't help but want to know what it's like to be attractive 😭 though, I'm fine with being as I am now. I have the most amazing boyfriend despite how I may look.

Are you happy we know your story?

Of course! 😃

Are you in love?

Of course ❤️ Naruto is literally the world to me and I'm still such a lucky girl that a guy like him returned my feelings.

Are you married?

Not yet, but I sure would love to be married. After all, Naruto did promise me that he'd marry me after taking care of a few certain things in his life. I'm holding him up on his words 💕

As you should. Who's your favourite person in the world?

Naruto Uzumaki 💕 I love him more than anything in the world and I'm freaking crazy about him. I hope him and I will be together for the rest of our lives. No one will ever come between us ❤️

Do you have an archnemesis?

Well, I don't really have anyone I hate, but I do keep a wary eye on Hinata. I know that girl is scheming to take my man 😤 if she tries anything, I'll uppercut her from the floor up. 😅 D-don't tell Naruto I said that 😣

Secret's safe with me. If you could go back in time for one day, where would you go?

Probably back to the day Naruto and I met or maybe the day where he confessed his love for me. Those were some of the best days of my life 😍

Is there anything you want to say to your fans?

I just wanna say, thank you so much for everything you guys done to make someone like me feel loved. I've always been quite the downer but it's because of your love and support, along with Naruto's, that's helped me shape into the woman I am today. I'm also pleased there are so many of you who ship me with Naruto lol. Please keep cheering us on and pray that he'll get down on his knees and ASK ME TO MARRY HIM AAAHHHH ❤️❤️❤️

But ya, love you guys the most 💕

Can we look forward to reading more of your story?

Yep 😍 When you do, please consider giving the chapter you're reading a vote and let Naruto and I know how you feel about the chapter in the comments below haha we read every comment, ya know? (See what I did there? 😂)

I do see. Thanks Nia for talking with us today.

Thanks for having me 💕 I really enjoyed my time here and I hope you all have a blessed day. I'll tell Naruto you all said hi ❤️
