Author Comment This is my first story and is going to be based off of Naruto. This will take place 2 years before he graduates (most likely after his first failure in the exam he may be 8-9 now) and I may skip to the day he graduates 2 years later or not depends on the second chapter and what i can come up with. Also sorry but used notepad so no bold type just yet sense it would chance it all. Read and enjoy the first chapter and review please.

First Person POV

Darkness. Darkness for miles in all directions. Am I alive? Am I dead? Is there light in this world at all? Suddenly the world starts to change. There is water to my knees and I can see a cage with a seal on it. I can only stare at this strange place many questions in my head. 'Where am I? What is this place? Why am i so alone?' I thought.

I didn't expect to be answered. "Because those fouls judge you for what you arnt." I hear a low demonic voice say. Then im greeted by two giant red slitted eyes that look like they can see me very soul.

"W-Who are you?" I ask the eyes. Suddenly I can see rows of teeth. Massive, sharp, pointed, fang like teeth.

"Me? Very simple im the Kyuubi. The Nine Tailed Fox and im sealed into you mortal." Suddenly my life made sense everything that happened. The glares, being ran out of stores, the over pricings, and most recently... the beatings.

"So it all makes sense now why im hated. ITS BECAUSE OF YOU DAMN IT!" I scream at the fox.

"I understand that child but it wasnt in my control when I attacked your village im sorry i messed up your life so far. Partly because of me you cant pass the Academy because you have to much chakra and not enough control. But I do plan to right my wrongs child noone should be hated like youa nd as such i will give you a glorious gift." The fox replied.

"What gift and why should I trust you?" I ask now very curious.

"I will give you knowledge when your ready and the control of Shadows. Learn to use the gift well and build up your control. Ill help you now its time for you to head back im done healing you from the beating."

Then I remembered why it was so dark before. I was knocked unconscious.
End POV Flashback 1 hour ago.

The Leaf Village. Beautiful at night yet tonight there would be screams to violate the peace and beaut of this villages. Down in the streets a boy no more then 8 or 9 was running from a mob. He didnt know why the mobs started suddenly within the last year but this one had more ninja than the others and the boy only could do one thing. Run. He ran for a while lungs burning the crowd chanting for the boys blood. Then the boy fell to the ground, a kunai in his leg. He pulled it out but couldnt run fast enough to avoid the mob now so he ducked into an ally. It turned out to be a dead end and as he was about to leave the mob blocked off the entrance.
A Chuunin stepped forward with a sick twisted smirk on his face. "We got the demon now. Today we finish what the fourth started." Cheeres went up around the crowd and the boy felt fear as they moved in.

Flashback End First Person POV

It was truely a terrible one at that I personally feel lucky to be alive, but then again I got Kyuubi to thank for that one probably.
"Wait before I go back can you teach me any ways to sue the shadows first?" I asked. After all whats the point of a weapon without knowing its uses?

"They will defend you automatically and dont worry you wont even need chakra for it to work. The sign of this pwoer working is that even in the darkest of darkness your shadow will always be darker. When you learn to control it you may use it as you see fit child. Now go young one go and make a name for yourself after all respect is earned make them respect your powers." The fox said.

Suddenly I felt a pulling on my body and then I woke to the world. I looked aroudn the alley that had alot of blood near the end thanks to the blades they used on me. I stand up slowly and look behind me to see that , even though its night time and there is no light at all for it, I have a very dark shadow. I smiled to my self and then remeber Kyuubis words "You wont need chakra for it to work." I smiled and then tried to use my thoughts to move the shadow. Then the shadow had two arms out in front of me and ,at first, I was shocked then I smiled. I use my thoughts and the shadow arms picked up 5 kunai, 1 for each finger. I then pulled back my shadow and the knives dissapeared with them. I though of a kunai appearing in my hand and one came from the shadows into my hand. All I could do was smile and leave the alley. Time for a change in my life.
