When naruto hinata love was still in ninja school as a young boy he wasn't very gifted or talented. In fact he was the class clown who was constantly getting into trouble, failing tests, finishing bottom of the class and being ridiculed by his class mates. Even back then he would say, "One day I'm going to become the greatest ninja in the village and you will have to acknowledge me" and no one would take him seriously. He was seen as an outsider and the parents of all the other kids would tell them to stay away from naruto hinata love because they thought he was trouble. This hurt naruto hinata love deeply but he always tried to avoid showing it.
