Chapter 1

Hello you may not know me but I shall tell you a little about myself. My name is Kyusei I am the phantom guardian of the village hidden in the leaves known as Konoha. My powers are a mystery my identity is an even bigger mystery; no one knows who I am where I come from, and what is my purpose. Only those who are close to me know who I am but no one else, I have sworn upon my own cursed life that I would protect this village the very village my father died for. To think all that I have gained all that I have accomplished all started ten years ago.

(Ten Years Ago)

As I sat upon the swing I looked at the parents and children all gathered by the academy they were all excited and proud as their children received their headbands signifying their acceptance as a ninja of this village.

I really did not mind their happiness that was a pleasant thing to see, but what bothered me was their hatred towards me knowing what I was or what I held. I could hear the whispers and murmurs that were pointed towards me.

The words that I heard the most was monster, demon, Kyuubi, forbidden. Those words echoed through out my mind as I could feel the eyes of hatred stared down upon me judging me for what I am or what they thought of me as.

Their words did not hurt me for it was their actions that did, I had feeling in my gut that told me that I was going to suffer yet another beating from the angry villagers. Their beatings did hurt I will admit but as least their hatred towards through every beating is dwindled each time. As long as that happens I will take all of the pain and the constant trash-talk of these people.

I got off of my swing and walked away from the ever loud crowd of people. I felt their stares once again as if they tried to burn a hole through my back. I ignored them and continued walking away from them until I heard the footsteps of one them approach me I stop but don't turn to face them.

"You pitiful piece of filth" exclaimed the villager behind me.

"What is it that concerns you sir?" I asked the angry man but didn't turn to see him.

"You walk away from us as if you are better than us and that pisses me off!" yelled the angry man.

"I didn't mean to offend you but I was just tired and wished to return home" I responded.

"What home would a monster like you have?!"

"That I believe is none of your concern"

"Why you little shit! I'll show you what my concern is!" he shouted as kicked me in the stomach sending me flying a few feet away from him. I get up and chuckle at him and smile at the angry man.

"Is that what you want good sir to beat up on me then go ahead I don't mind one bit" I said with my face still supporting my smile.

"You little brat I'll give you the beating of a lifetime!" said the man as he ran towards me at top speed. I could see anger boiling in his eyes but it didn't frighten me but made me smile. He punches me in my face making me fall to the ground he raises his foot and stomps on me hard. I coughed up a little blood but it didn't matter to me at all. I took every last one of his blows and didn't lift one finger.

After a few minutes his beating had stopped. Of course not one person stopped the man from beating me but it was expected. My left arm was broken in three places and was bleeding, my leg was stabbed by a piece of broken glass that man had and it was bleeding as well. My right eye was swollen and black, and six of my ribs were broken.

The pain I felt was great but I was alive and that's all that mattered.

"Now I will finish you off!" exclaimed the man as he started to form hand signs preparing what seemed to be a jutsu. He was obviously either a former ninja who had retired or an active one if he were to know jutsu.

"Firestyle: Fireball Jutsu!" shouted the man as he jumped up in the air and took a deep breath preparing his attack.

"That's it I have had enough of this!"

"Who was that?"

Before I could figure out who that voice was my body was surrounded by my enormous chakra. Completely engulfing me and giving me unknown strength. The angry ninja fired a barrage of fire balls towards me but my body suddenly jumps into it dodging every last one of them surprising not only him but me as well.

I was now right in front of him my chakra wild and untamed; as it quickly developed a ball of chakra and fired it upon the villager he fell towards the ground. I felt a sudden wave of anger sweep me as I rushed towards the man and punch him hard towards the ground. He lands with a loud a thud following behind him then a large crash was heard as I stomped on him causing a crater under him.

I stepped off of him and grabbed him by his collar staring into his eyes as they were filled with fear and cried for mercy.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I shouted I threw him towards the crowd and let a very angry and threatening roar scaring away the awe struck villagers. I powered down and was exhausted, with some of my strength I ran as fast as I could towards an ally and hid deep in the shadows.

"What just happened? Where did that power come from?"

"Would you really like to know?"

I look up to see a woman with smooth skin that was toned gently like a peach but shined as if it was gold she walked towards me and crotched down trying to level with me she looked at me with her gorgeous orange eyes looking into mine. Her kimono was so beautiful as if the very fabric itself had been dipped in the pools of her eyes and had been bathed by the light of the sunset turning into a well contrasted crimson.

"If you want to know then come with me"

"How do I know you won't try and kill me?"

She looked at me with concern and sadness on her face; her hand reached out to me but I instinctively backed up she tried to do it again however I backed up again until I hit the wall. I had no choice but to stand my ground as I prepared for a feeling of pain to course through me, I waited and yet no pain was felt all that was felt was a warm hand caress my cheek. I blinked to make sure I wasn't dreaming as my hand went towards the warmth I immediately retracted it.

"You cannot be real"

"Why do you say such things young one?"

"Because the only time I have any peace is when I am curled up in my bed trying to ignore the cold night" She gasped as I looked away from her; tears began to form in my eyes but I blinked them away. Rustling of cloth made me turn to her as she looked at me with tears in her eyes I didn't understand why she would be crying as she fiddled around with her kimono.

"Ma'am I don't get it? Why are you crying?"

"You are just a kid and yet you have suffered so much the pain" She finished fiddling around with her kimono as it opened up revealing her everything I turned away as I feel my cheeks grow warm.

"Ma'am you are exposed please cover yourself"

"Naruto" she grabbed my face turning it to hers as she kissed my forehead.

"Would you like me to be your mother?" I froze shock overwhelming my small form as those words repeated in the back of my head as I shook violently.

"This can't be real this just can't."

"It is very real Naruto."

"Why would you want to be my mother?"

"Everyone deserves love Naruto everyone" I didn't stop the tears from falling as they cascaded down my cheeks however I did not sob I merely let them fall there was no point all of my sadness had been expressed throughout my life even though I have not lived a very long nor eventful life. This woman this gorgeous woman of indefinable kindness and divine beauty was offering to be my maternal angel if I were to deny this opportunity I may as well give myself to my pain.

"Please tell me your name"

"Kyushi"

"Kyushi-sama would you please be my mother"

"Of course as long as I can call you my baby"

"I would like that very much"

"Then come here my baby and let mama give you the love you deserve"

I slowly walk towards her each step I took felt heavy but I was so close only a few more steps. As the steps were taken from the soles of my feet I was within the boundary of my new mother's arms they closed in on me as mine opened up. My head nestling between her breasts as I rubbed my face into them her scent was heavenly that I could have been lost in it I looked up at her and she smiled at me kissing my forehead she picked me up straddling me with care.

"Naruto baby"

"Yes Kaa-san?"

"Why don't you have some milk?"

"Where am I going to get that?"

"From me silly I am going to give you the milk."

"I don't understand what you mean?"

"Don't worry, I will show you when we go home."

Immediately my mood became dark, I turned around had just stared at the ground below me. I felt her slender arms go under my tiny ones as she lifted me up and had me settled in her arms. Her gaze was so strong and her smile was warm I would hate to bring someone as kind and delicate as her to the hovel that was my home.

"Naruto, baby what's wrong?"

"Kaa-san, if I can be honest with you. My home is a complete dump and for you a beautiful, kind, and sweet woman would see my hovel of a home. It would defile you and I don't want that to happen." Looking at her, I couldn't tell if I was seeing things but she was glowing. Her smile still gentle and comforting had been unfazed by what I had said. Her beautiful lips planted on my forehead; the warmth returned and I laid against her chest.

"Naruto, you're such a sweet boy. Don't worry about a thing I will take care of it so please; just lie your head down on my chest and rest my child."

"Okay, Kaa-san I will."

I sighed, it was a comforting sigh as for the first time I was happy. Truly honestly happy it was a false sense of bliss nor was it a mask for pain; it was something that I never thought I would experience this emotion. I smiled and rubbed my cheek against her chest and a marvelous giggle went through my ears.

"My precious Naruto, I will always be there for you."

"Thank you, I will return this act of kindness to you someday."

"Shh, sleep my baby. Sleep, mama will protect you."

I did just that I went to asleep and as I went to sleep I wondered was this a dream? If it was I never want to wake up to my cold reality, not in a million years. I would rather stay in this blissful dream until the beats in my heart cease and my soul is extinguished.
