Prologue

After hours of hard work, Naruto finally learnt the first technique on the scroll and was trying to catch his breath before going to look for Iruka and finally graduate... He then noticed someone approaching and found Iruka in front of him, and as he was boasting his new learnt skill they were attacked by Mizuki. As Naruto learnt he was used by Mizuki in order to get the scroll Mizuki revealed to him the secret rule of the village.

" The rule is that nobody is allowed to talk about the fact that you are the demon fox ", he told Naruto. " It means you are the nine tails demon that killed Iruka's parents and destroyed the village. You were sealed up by the Hokage you admire and you have been lied to by everyone ! Didn't you find it odd how everyone hated you ? Iruka is the same ! He actually hates you !"

Stunned, and little by little believing what said Mizuki and angered by the fact everyone always lied to him he got mad. But as Mizuki sent a large shuriken to kill him, Iruka jumped in front of Naruto and took the hit in his place. Not understanding what was going on, Iruka told him he grew up as an orphan, like him, and that he regretted not having done more for him.

Not knowing what to think he ran away, Mizuki chasing after him. Every shinobi prepares to go after Naruto and kill him while the Hokage watches the situation with the Crystal Ball and prepares for the worse... After a short fight between Iruka and Mizuki under henge, Naruto, hidden behind a tree near them, listens to their discussion.

" Hehehe... you'd even transform into what killed your parents to protect him ? "

" I won't hand the scroll over to an idiot like you ! "

" You're the idiot. Naruto and I are the same. "

" The same ? "

" If you use the skills in that scroll, you can do whatever you want. There's no way that demon fox wouldn't try to use the power. Unlike what you're assuming... "

" Yeah... ", agreed Iruka.

With that simple word, and the wrong decision, Naruto's life changed greatly. Hurt in his feelings and angry, he fled, not hearing Iruka's aknowledgement.

Damn... I knew it... see... even Iruka-sensei deep down doesn't aknowledge me.

After killing a defenseless Iruka, Mizuki ran after Naruto and caught up to him.

" You can't run away anymore, demon fox ! Time to die ! "

" Yes, yours ! ", shouted a mad Naruto, seeing he didn't have any choice left. He took out some shuriken and did hand seals, shouted :

" Kage Bunshin no Jutsu ! "

A thousand of shadow clones appeared, surrounding Mizuki, then they all jumped and shouted :

" Shihou Hapou Shuriken no Maki ! "

Mizuki, stunned by the presence of so many clones, didn't have any time to defend himself and his body was torn into pieces by thousands of shuriken. Feeling excited by his first kill and also horrified at himself to have taken pleasure in it, Naruto ran away, afraid of what would happen to him now and wishing not to ever step foot in Konoha ever again after all the times he suffered because of its inhabitants.

They wouldn't have hated me anymore if I became a Hokage, but how can I be a Hokage if I hate them ! I suffered enough ! Even Iruka-sensei hated me in the end ! I'll never come back !

Sad and having lost all hope, Sandaime went to all the shinobi who had gathered after having searched Naruto fruitlessly and gave them his orders :

" I feel very sad to announce this but I have no other choice, Umino Iruka was killed by the traitor Mizuki who was then killed by Naruto. Naruto ran away and he is now in a state very instable and dangerous. He has knowledge of the Kage Bunshin and of Kyuubi's existence in himself. Troubled as he is he might use Kyuubi's power and lose himself in it. If we leave him too long with the Forbidden Scroll, he might find a way to break the seal holding Kyuubi. Uzumaki Naruto is now a missing-nin. I order every Jounin and ANBU to capture him and to secure the scroll as long as he remains inside Fire country, Hunter-nin will take care of it if he manages to escape the country. He's running in the direction of Wave Country, now GO !

As all the shinobi were leaving to catch Naruto and some in the hope of killing him, Sandaime turned to look at the Hokage Monument and thought :

I am sorry Yondaime, it seems I wasn't able to keep your hero in safety and your whole legacy might fall in the wrong hands... I just hope our village won't pay the price to have made his life a living hell...

Next chapter : " Fear "

A/N : Yes, this fic is going to be serious, but considering my sense of humor there will be some very weird moments to lighten the mood, it shouldn't break the story's course however... Please, take note that my native language is french and even though I am quite confident in my english I might make some mistakes sometimes, so feel free to point them out to me if you find them too obvious... Now, I know the prologue followed the manga quite closely, but the next chapters will be more original and I wanted to point out that Naruto could very well have done so at this point without getting OOC. In short, my goal is to make a realistic Naruto even though he will fall in... oops, I was going to spoil where he's going to end up... But I'll leave you a hint : follow the title of my chapters and you should find out... Oh, and I promise I'll update more frequently than I did with my other story, I know where I'm going with this one after all...

Now, please leave a review and tell me what you think.
