It was a normal day in the leaf villagers where at the market ninjas where leaving on missions, everything was peaceful when a 8 year old boy was seen sprinting down the street with a huge mob following him holding anything as weapons
"Get back here demon" shouted one of the people in the mob "monster" shouted another "Just die" "You don't belong here" "Get out of our village"
They were all hurling abuse at this small boy with blond hair and deep blue eyes "Why can't you just leave me alone, its not like I've ever done anything to you!" The small boy shouted As he turned a corner he saw his way to escape the mob. The forest and he ran as fast as he could into it, the villagers just ran past the forest not thinking twice about it
In the forest and up a tree about 3/4 into the forest the small boy was sitting on a branch hoping that the mob wouldn't find him
About an hour later the small boy climbed down the tree still being cautious he looked to his left then his right when he confirmed the coast was clear he began walking back out of the forest when he heard a whining noise come from a bush about 3 meters away from him
"What's that?" The boy asked himself before walking over to the bush, what he saw next sickened him a fox lay there dead with a large slice running from its neck to the end of its belly and its insides on the outside then he heard the noise again but it was coming from the dead fox. Then he saw it laying next to the dead fox was a fox pup
When the boy saw this he extended his arm towards the pup but when it noticed his hand the poor thing coward away
The boy was understanding of this and spoke in a soft voice "its okay don't worry I'm not gonna hurt you" said the boy. When he finished the pup stood and slowly walked towards the boys hand and sniffed it then after a second it rubbed the side of its head on the boys hand
"Heh, that's better my names naruto, naruto uzumaki" to this the fox stopped rubbing his face on naruto's hand and walked further towards him then jumped into the hood of his jacket "So you want to come home with me eh?" Asked naruto to this the pup let out a affirmative yelp "fine but if your coming home with me ill have to give you a name, how about Rolf?"
The pup bit naruto's ear "ow okay not Rolf, then how about shadow 'the first ninja fox'?" The pup yelped in agreement "shadow it is then" said naruto with a smirk on his face
'A few days later'
Naruto was walking down the street when someone tripped him over and shadow fell out of his hood as naruto hit the ground
"Well look what we've got here looks like demon boy got a pet" said a boy who was at leased 13 dressed in a black hoodie and black tracksuit bottoms and black sandals
"Leave shadow alone!" Shouted naruto
"Who are you to be giving me orders demon" said the boy but just as he finished shadow bit his finger "ow, why you stupid fox" said the boy as he dropped shadow but before he landed the boy kicked him into a wall which was close by
"Shadow!" Shouted naruto as he was too angry to forgive the boy he stared at him with hateful eyes as a red aura danced around naruto "your gonna pay"
"What the he...!" The boy was cut off by naruto punching him square in the jaw and sending him flying down the market street
Naruto didn't pay anymore attention to the boy because he then realised shadow let out a whine
"shadow your alive" said naruto with pure glee on his face "thank god" With this shadow jumped onto narutos shoulder and nuzzled his jaw line "ok I get it haha" with this naruto walked down the street until he reached the ninja academy
"Well shadow here is where I'd like to go one day" said naruto with a small smile
"Why don't you ask your parents to enrol you then?" Asked a man wearing a hat with the kajin for 'fire' and 'shadow' on it
"because I don't have any" answered without turning around
"What about your guardian then" asked the man
"She left me for dead when I was 5" answered naruto with a slight hint of malice
"How about I enrol you then?" Asked the man, to this naruto turned around to see the man who was pestering him
"Look old man I don't get what sort of kick you get out of this, your all the same trying to hurt me whatever way you can" said naruto as tears formed in his eyes "but its clear that no one in this village gives a damn about a me so don't try and get my hopes up making me think that someone actually cares only so that its further when I fall"
The man placed a pipe in his mouth and took a poof then blew it out "little naruto uzumaki the boy that all the villagers shun for reasons he doesn't know" said the man "do you know who I am?"
"No and I don't care" stated naruto
"Well ill tell you anyway" said the man as he looked naruto in the eyes "I'm the hokage"
"So what, is that meant to make me respect you or something. Well sorry old man but I stopped respecting other people a few minutes ago" said naruto then stroking shadow
"Naruto when you say you stopped only a few minutes ago might I ask why?" Asked the hokage
"Because it doesn't matter to people if something is young or defenceless they attack it all the same" said naruto not only referring to the incident involving shadow but himself as well
"I see, and what do you intend to do about this" asked the hokage
"First I'm gonna get into the academy then I'm going to become a great ninja that everyone will respect and when I'm that ninja ill protect anything that is young weak and defenceless" said naruto puffing out his chest
"Well then do you know the best way to achieve your goal?" Asked the hokage
"No what?" Asked naruto
"Become hokage" stated the hokage
"If that's what I have to do ill become a hokage so strong that no one will dream of hurting the weak and defenceless when I'm around" said naruto while shadow yelped in agreement
"Ill hold you to your word then naruto, become a hokage like no other and protect those who need it" said the hokage "now then let's get you enrolled here then"
