(AN) Kyuubi'sgal here! I couldn't think of anything better to do, so I decided to write a short fanfic. (Around people who think Naruko is a boy, I will use he, him, his, etc, but around people who know she is a girl, I will use her, she, etc.)
Disclaimer: Kyuubi'sgal owns nothing but this idea.
Naruko, forced to dress and act like a boy, is running from a mob of villagers when a man appears and saves her.
##################Naruto is 6######Konohagakure#######midnight#############
Naruto was running through the streets of Konoha, a mob of angry villagers hot on his trail. As he ran, he began to notice that every once in a while, he'd run by a partially transparent person. The villagers chasing him didn't seem to notice the nearly invisible people. The people on the sidelines didn't move, all they seemed to do was stare at the villagers with looks of disapproval on their faces. The young child ran into a nearby alley after running from the villagers for nearly half an hour only to hit a dead end. The blonde crouched in the corner and began silently praying for someone to come save him as the villagers quickly approached him. Right before the first villager could strike a blow on the blonde, a tall blonde man jumped down from the building roof and landed in a crouch in front of the cowering child. The man stood up and the bottom of his jacket flowed around his feet. The villages gasped and stepped back.
"That's impossible!"
"He's dead! How could he be here?!" Several other villagers voiced their confusion while the man stood defensively in front of Naruto.
"How dare you, the villagers of Konoha, attack a child!" exclaimed the man. "I am ashamed of you all!"
"But-"
"But what? What has this child ever done to deserve this kind of treatment?"
"He's the Kyuubi," said one man, quietly. The blonde man defending Naruto laughed.
"The Kyuubi? Really?" asked the man before he pulled out a kunai and a scroll. "What is this?" The man held out the kunai.
"A-a kunai," answered a man holding a club.
"Exactly, and what is this?" asked the blonde man, holding out the scroll.
"A scroll? What does this have to do with anything?" asked a man with a broken beer bottle.
"And what happens if I seal the kunai inside the scroll? Does the scroll become a kunai, or is it simply a scroll with a kunai sealed inside it?" asked the blonde.
"It's a scroll with a kunai sealed in it. What does this have to do with anything?" asked the man with a broken beer bottle.
"This is the same concept used for sealing away a demon. A human with a demon sealed inside them does not become the demon; the same applies to a scroll with a kunai sealed inside it. The human is simply a human with a demon sealed inside of them," explained the man. "I died believing that the village would see Naruto as a hero, but I guess I was wrong." The man turned around and picked up Naruto, who clung to the man's neck. "All of you go home." The villagers all did as they were told.
*************15 minutes later*********Naruto's apartment*********************
The man laid Naruko down in her bed before tucking her in. "Who are you?" asked Naruko.
"I can't tell you that. You'll have to figure it out on your own," said the man. "Now, I believe it's time for you to sleep, Naruko." The child's eyes widened.
"How?" asked the blonde child.
"Sshhhh. It's a secret," said the man with his finger to his lips before he faded away. The confused child lay in her bed for nearly half an hour before exhaustion finally took over and she fell asleep.

I told you it was short! If I get enough positive reviews and people asking, I might make this into a multi-chaptered story, so review!
