The Fox Sage's Path

Chapter One: Meetings and Changes

Konoha Streets

Naruto was pretty happy considering the fact that he finally graduated from the damn ninja academy finally becoming a Genin. He went to Ichiraku's Ramen to celebrate, after enjoying himself there and telling Ayame and Teuchi about how excited he was with becoming a ninja finally. "Yeah Ayame-neechan I finally became a Ninja like I always dreamed" Naruto said with a big grin on his face to which Ayame and Teuchi both laughed at this and told them how proud they were of him for getting closer to his dream. Now Naruto always knew that the surrogate family loved him but this brought tears to his eyes which made both the Ichiraku's smile as Naruto was sitting there. "T..Thank you...so much guys that means so much coming from you two" Naruto said with tears still running down his face. Quickly he dried them up and smiled that big goofy smile of his and said "But, you guys just wait one day I'll be the Hokage of the village in no time" with a giant smile plastered on his face. "Well Naruto we wouldn't expect any less coming from someone as driving as you are" Teuchi said with a faint smile on his face. Naruto felt really happy right now and spent a little while longer there enjoying the happy feeling he was having.

-Kusagakure-2 Days before Naruto's graduation-Somewhere on the streets-

Karin hadn't understood why everyone hated her so much she was just being herself and staying to herself. But, because she was smart and showed very good progress in the medical arts of a Shinobi people labeled her as a geek and some sort of freak because of her glasses. Speaking to herself she wondered how things were going to be when she got home and saw her father "what's he going to say this time when I show up all depressed and puffy eyed again?". Getting to her dad and her's apartment she unlocked the door and opened it up to reveal a dark hallway with three doors along it two on the right one to the left. She thought her dad was most likely off on a mission for the village she walked over and turned on the lights to see a sword sticking through the chair her father sits in all the time reading. Slowly proceeding over to said chair what she saw there was something that would haunt her dreams for years to come as she saw her father sitting in the chair with a sword sticking through his chest and a shocked expression on his face. The amount of blood was so much that it soaked the chair and then the floor in front of it. Standing there frozen in place she slowly let out a silent scream that turned into a bone chilling scream as tears readily streamed down her face. "No..no..no...NO! how?! WHY?! did this have to happen to me...why what did my father do to deserve this? Why would the village do this to someone who's only served them through everything?! Dad just say this is all a really bad joke Dad wake up...please you're all I have left...PLEASE DAD WAKE BACK UP!" Karin screamed towards her father. She slowly gathered the chakra need to do the Mystical Palm Jutsu and tried healing her dad and finding that it wasn't working made her slowly very slowly realize that this was actually happening to her. Slowly she stood up walked towards her room and packed all her things into two carrying sacks and went outside the went about setting the house on fire to erase it from ever being able to remind her of what transpired here. She made it towards the place that civilians traveled to to get public transportation to other places she slowly walked up with a hoodie over her head not showing her face she paid for her ticket and boarded the caravan that was going to Konoha as her father told her it always was such a nice place. As the caravan left she slowly turned her head to see the burning inferno that was her old place. Letting one single tear stream down her face again she turned to never look back again.

-Konohagakure-Shortly after leaving Ichiraku's Ramen-

Naruto was really happy after spending time with the family that has shown him so much love that he always missed as most people treated the boy like complete shit since he had the nine tails inside him. Naruto was lost deep in thought when he heard a familiar sound of people gathering to chase him as he got ready to run. Unfortunately for him he ran straight into a Chunin and said Chunin delivered a very powerful hit to the mid-section of Naruto who slowly got up after the hit coughing a bit. "Do you like that demon brat the feeling of hurt and pain because that's what you caused all of us when that damn fox attacked and killed my fiancé and our unborn child as well as a lot of these people's loved ones as well, that's why we're going to make you suffer till you feel how we do" said Chunin stated as he pulled a Kunai out and started walking slowly to the slowly retreating form of the demon in front of him. Then the mob started to savagely beat Naruto until the boy was presumed dead or damn near close with all the blood he lost. Naruto slowly groaned and assumed that this would be his end and maybe he could escape this hell he's lived for all his life the last thought he had was why him as he slipped into unconsciousness quickly after them all leaving. "Damnit Kit why do they all assume you're me. The injuries he's sustained are too much for even me to heal without some outside force. We both don't deserve to die yet dammit I still have that detestable Uchiha to kill for making me like this. I'm sorry Kit but this might be the end of our lives". The Kyuubi thought to herself as she awaited the inevitable.

-Somewhere close by to the scene-

Karin heard the commotion coming from a street over and being in the mood she was in she wasn't caring one bit at the moment until she heard what sounded like a boy her age screaming in anguish. She quickly made up her mind to go check out what was going on. What she saw almost made her puck, she saw a boy her age getting the shit beat out of him 'Round Robin' style. She waited till the horrible sight before her was done before she ran over to him and started the Mystical Palm Jutsu on him to start helping the boy to heal. After she thought it was safe enough to move him she found his apartment key read the location and headed off there. Once she got to the apartment she noticed some of the lesser wounds were healing themselves. She was amazed by this as she set said blond down on the bed, and continued to use the healing Jutsu to accelerate an ability that she thought had to be some form of bloodline trait. Staying up late she accidentally fell asleep right next to Naruto. "We might be saved just yet I think I can take it from here Kit sleep tight."
