I don't own Naruto sadly.

Naruto is a strange boy. He had nothing but hatred and loneliness his whole life. The only nice thing he owned was his smile, but that smile has more pain then happiness. His eyes having sheared more tears then shined with happiness. The way he hides it all with a mask is almost perfect. Yes almost the one chink in his mask was when his birthday rolled around. He could not pull off a smile or a large laugh. That day was today.

Today Naruto was walk slowly meeting bridge. The villagers seemed to communicate telepathically, they fell in to step. Half way to the bridge they collectively jumped him.

/meeting bridge/

"Huh Naruto is late today," Sakura stated. 'Ya I can spend the whole day with Sasuke,' Sakura thought. After about ten minutes Sakura then decided she had had enough of the silence." Say is you going to the festival if we get of early, Sasuke?" She asked.

"Hn," Sasuke replied in a monotone voice. Sakura through being a stalker and being on the same team as him had learned that this was a yes.

"Me to, hey maybe we could go together," Sakura said in one breath.

An "Hn," from Sasuke was her only answer.

An hour later Kakashi-sensei arrived

"Sorry I got lost-"was all he could get out before he heard a voice yell "Lier" Sakura was the only one present who care about his excuse.

"Where is Naruto on this fine day?" asked Kakashi in a relaxed manner

"Out sick is my guess," Sakura informed

"No," said Sasuke, "He never missed a full day in the academy, even when he was sick."

"Oh you're right I forgot," Sakura chuckled

'Thank you Naruto I hope you're still in one piece after we find you,' thought Sasuke

"Well we don't have a mission today let's go check on him," Kakashi said

/Naruto/

After the faster ones jumped on Naruto and had him held down he was being slowly tortured. The people in shops and houses near them came out with kitchen knives, scissors, broken bottles, and anything to hurt Naruto with. Naruto was first striped of his shirt and people set to work. They first recarved demon on to his back. Then they carved murder on to his front. The villagers then proceed to harm him in any way they could. Naruto had promised to not to harm the villagers when they attacked him but it was getting more and more difficult as time went on. The beatings had become more deadly and the killing aura was enough to suffocate him. The ones holding him had moved as far as they could without ripping his limbs off. They wanted to give him as much pain as possible. The crowd was getting out the anger of losing loved ones on small boy who could not fight back. Right as they went to work on breaking his legs Naruto let himself fall into the darkness that threatened to consume him after they carved demon on his back.

'Kit where are you,' Kyuubi yelled, 'Kit please come out.'

'Go away I hate you Kyuubi, you are the reason why they hate me,' Naruto yelled at him.

'I know and I'm sorry but the way things are now you will die if you don't fight back,' Kyuubi pleaded wishing he could teach those villagers what they deserve for harming a boy such as Naruto.

'Then let me die I don't care anymore,' Naruto looked on the verge of tears, 'just leave me alone.'

That was all Kyuubi got before Naruto ran off into a part of his mind where Kyuubi could not follow.

/Team 7/

As Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura walked through town thinking Naruto was at the festival or an early food stand. About half way in to town they found a big crowd in the middle of the road shouting things like, "Monster, demon, and you deserve this,"

"Maybe Naruto's in this crowd," Kakashi suggested becoming interested.

As they weaved through the crowd with mostly ease they saw many of the villagers had knifes and broken bottles in their hands. Towards the middle some of the makeshift weapons had blood on them. Then in the very center lay Naruto the only way you could tell it was him was the bright blonde hair streaked with blood. There was obviously internal damage done. His legs stuck out in dangerous angles. Naruto's shirt was lying in tatters a few feet from him. On his front was carved, murder. It was surrounded by smaller cuts and huge bruises. The ground around him was dark with his blood.

Kakashi was the first to run forward, followed closely by his other students. The crowd parted when Sasuke yelled bloody murder. The blob that was Naruto started to move but Kakashi scooped him up and teleported to the hospital.

"Take care of them for me," he said to his students.

They in turn marked all of the villagers that didn't run when they first charged. There was a large amount of Konoha residents had marks for weeks to life after. When they were finished they ran to the hospital. Upon arriving Sasuke and Sakura Kakashi yell "what do you mean you won't accepted him"

"He is a menses to the village," the head nurse yelled back, "And if you keep shouting I will have you kicked out."

"Fine then," Kakashi stated, "You're just letting a small child suffer, of which he has had enough of,"

Turning and marching of at a quick pace. When he was out of hearing range he asked, "Sasuke is your house nearby?"

"Yes," he responded quietly.

"Good then we go there," Kakashi said, "There is a healer who owes me a favor."

Naruto then started to stir. The first thing they all noticed was his eyes they were not the normal soft, clear sky, blue but red, and full of hatred. So much so that Sakura flinched back.

"There is no need for a healer," he said in a low, dark voice.
