Passive Resistance (джен)

Uzumaki Naruto did not show up to his first day at the Academy. Or his second. On the third, the Sandaime Hokage scried for him with his crystal ball. He found him crouched beneath a tree in one of the numerous parks of Konohagakure no Sato, watching a train of ants.
“I’ve decided I’m not going to the Academy,” the little boy announced, as if most little boys in a shinobi village didn’t want to become ninja.
“If you aren’t going to be a shinobi, what will you do?”
Naruto scratched his head. “I haven’t decided yet, but I’ve decided to be a pacifist.”
Oh, no.
