PROLOGUE
Narumi coughed up blood as another foot connected with her stomach. "Die pathetic demon" yelled one of the many villagers who were trying to kill her. The five year old girl tried to drag herself away from the crowd only to have her hands crushed with a brick. Narumi didn't know why but for some reason the villagers seemed to hate her. The villages pinned her to the ground. A man with a big reddish beard walked over and put his foot on the child's neck. He took a small box cutting knife and began to make cuts all across Narumi's back. Narumi would've been screaming had her voice not gone hoarse an hour ago. The man stepped back and allowed the other villagers to whip her with what ever they had in their hands. This continued well into the night. The angry mob of villages did all manner of cruel torturous things to the child. They tossed her into a boiling hot spring, they poured powered salt over her wounds, she was tied to a horse and dragged along a hard gravel road, and finally the most horrible thing of all. They tied her up in ninja wire and tossed her into a river.
The wire cut deep and the freezing water of the river only made it hurt more. The natural buoyancy of her body kept her afloat but only barely. She struggled against the wire but this only made it cut deeper. As the current began to take her down stream the villagers lined up along the banks and threw rocks at the defenseless child. "This is the end" Narumi thought to herself. She always knew it would be the villagers that would kill her. The last five years had been a build up to this moment. All she could remember in her five years of living was pain and hatred, hatred directed at her. The only people who ever showed her any kind of affection was old man Hokage and a woman named Haruna Miya who always gave the poor child food when she was starving in the streets.
The current began to carry her away and the figures of the angry villages disappeared in the darkness of the night. She looked down at her body to see it covered in all manner of cuts and bruises with blood oozing out of them. The villagers had really done one hell of a good job in trying to kill her. Tears began to slide down her face, although they couldn't be seen because her face was already wet from the river. The river took her slowly out to sea. The salt water was getting right into her wounds causing excruciating pain. The torment was too much for the poor girl. She wanted it to stop, she was left with two choices, drown herself now, or wait weeks till she died of starvation. She made up her mind.
Narumi rolled over so her face was in the water. She decided a quick death would be better. Narumi's breathing became faster as her body tried to get air from somewhere, anywhere, too late. The lack of oxygen sent Narumi into a blissful unconsciousness as she took her last few breaths of salt water.

Narumi woke up in damp wet hallway. The walls were concrete and there were heavy looking steel pipes on the ceiling. She walked along the corridor making a soft padding sound with her bare feet on the cold concrete floor. As she walked she couldn't help but think as to where she could be. She followed the hallway until it led her into a huge chamber, the chamber was split right down the middle by a set of huge iron bars. There was a dim red light coming from behind the bars. The bars looked more like pillars and were spaced wide enough apart for her to walk between. She was about to walk beyond the bars but there was something in the back of her mind that told her it was a bad idea.
Behind the bars appeared a pair of huge crimson eyes. "What are you doing here" echoed a voice.
Narumi jumped back in shear fright of something else being in the room. "Forgive me, but I do not know where here is. Am I in hell?"
The voice chuckled lightly. "You're not dead, nor should you be. You need to live beyond this day, you have a destiny. One day you will realize your purpose, but for now you need to wake up."

"Hokage-sama I have news to report" said a young chunin who had just entered the Hokage's office.
"Report" said the old Hokage lazily.
"Sir, it seems that some of the villages have attacked and killed Uzumaki Narumi."
Sarutobi said nothing in response, he turned around to look at the village through the large window that led onto his balcony. He knew that one day this would happen, he had tried his best to stop the village's prejudice against Narumi but the villagers needed someone to blame for all the pain that had been caused from the attack from Kyuubi no Yoko. The pain turned to a hatred, a hatred aimed at a defenseless five year old girl. A single tear escaped the old man's face, it slid down his cheek and landed on the floor with a soft splash. The chunin took this as his cue to leave and exited without making a sound. More tears slid down his face and he soon lost himself to the sorrow.
Narumi was dead. Narumi, the daughter of the Forth Hokage was dead. Narumi who had saved the village by becoming the prison for Kyuubi was dead. Narumi who had been the village's greatest hero was dead. What made it an even sadder event was that the people of the village wouldn't care. When they heard of Narumi's death, they wouldn't care, no tears would be shed, they'd just continue on with their lives and forget that Narumi, the demon child of Konoha ever lived. More tears fell, Sarutobi had failed to fulfill the wishes of the Yondamie, Minato Namikaze.

Narumi coughed to get the water out of her lungs. The wire that had once bound her together lay in a tangled mess further down the beach. She looked around herself, There wasn't much on the beach but further down the shore she could see lights. It took her over an hour to reach the source of the light but she made it none the less. It was a small town that consisted of only twenty or so buildings. There was a reasonable sized wall that circled the entire village. She followed the wall until she came to the only doors she could find. They were large heavy looking wooden doors with a sign above it that read 'Roregi Slave Market'. Had she been able to read she never would have entered but due to her poor education she stayed ignorant and proceeded to knock.
The door opened to reveal a scruffy looking man of about mid forties. He had long greasy looking brown hair and scars covering his entire face. He wore a long brown, worn looking trench coat and was carrying a black bullwhip with a suspicious red liquid running down the end of it. "Well, well, well" he said smugly "usually we have to go out and capture slaves, it makes my job so much easier when they come knocking on my door. You look a tad hungry little one, why don't you come inside for a hot meal and a soft bed."
At that point Narumi should've run, she should have sprinted as fast as her little legs could've taken her but she didn't. "Arigato" she said as her eyes lit up "I'd love something to eat."
"Then come on in" the man said happily as he ushered the young girl inside his compound. That was the end of Narumi's life as free human being. Now she was slave, from the moment she stepped inside that compound her free will was gone. She was just a tool to be ordered and used and soon she would be sold to a master that would not only make her life hell but also the first step to giving her life a purpose.

Well that was the first chapter. I hope yous guys enjoyed reading. I've written the first like nine chapters so I should get em out pretty quickly. I just need to look em over maybe fix up a few holes in the plot line. The next chapter will be out in about five minutes. Hope yous guys enjoy that one as well, and the many after it.
Oh and I'm not trying to be mean but if you don't like female Naruto stories then your probably reading the wrong prologue. However if you were able to read this far then maybe you'll read the next few and your opinions will change. I hope they do because I like it when people read my stories. It makes me feel happy and feeling happy is good. So keep reading.
