Man, the boss sure is trying to kill Uzumaki, huh?"

"Well, serves him right, looking the way he does."

Two construction workers stated to each other as they watched the teenager that worked part time for their construction company, being forced into carrying the heaviest of the materials they worked with. He had 3 bags of concrete mix over his shoulder on one arm, and with his other arm he was pulling a cart with 10 more large bags of concrete mix. He had forsaken his jacket completely, only wearing the orange safety vest and helmet that were part of his uniform.

The men who were talking about him were directing traffic.

"Uzumaki, drop off that load, and carry these wooden beams! Hurry, on the double!"

Naruto huffed from exhaustion as he dropped his load off at the workers who were going to use it, before he ran across the street and looked at the stack of wooden beams that he was going to be expected to carry as well. On the other side of the street, workers using the concrete would grab it a bag of what he brought them, with both of their arms, only taking 1 bag each as they started to load it into the mixer.I almost feel bad for the kid, he's only a part timer. Really sucks that the boss hates halfies like him." The traffic director stated as he gestured for traffic in the area to slow down. His coworker just laughed at him.

"Kid barely talks to anyone, he's always just working his ass off. The way I see it, big, dumb, gorillas like him need to be put to the grind. Manual labor is all those idiots are good at. It isn't like people like him ever make it to college." The senior traffic director stated as he gestured for the traffic on the other lane to stop completely, while his partner slowed traffic coming from the other side. "I mean, really, he's a freak... just look at him go. I've seen men struggle with 2 or those beams, and this monster is carrying 5 on each shoulder." He stated as he watched Naruto cross the street in a hurry.His coworker nodded his head.

He was a new full-timer, so he had only seen Naruto working with them for a couple of days now.

"So, it's true that he's half foreigner?"

"Who knows, the little bastard doesn't have parents. I saw his employment papers, but he has to be a mixed blood. Just look at him, that boy clearly isn't Japanese. The boss wants to make the kid quit, to prove to the general manager that he shouldn't have hired the boy."

The lunch alarm went off, allowing them all to hear that it was time for them to take a break from working.Uzumaki, since you're not done, you don't get a break until you finish your work! So you better get your ass
