Okay, this is my first fanfic ever, so please review and tell me your thoughts and criticisms.
The Strongest Jinchuuriki
12-year old Naruto Uzumaki was really hating his life right about now. It was a hot summer day in Konoha, and he was sweating profusely, not because he was having fun out in the sun, no, it was because there was an angry mob of stupid villagers chasing him again. It was okay though, he knew the village better than anyone. All he had to do was cut around a couple of corners and lose them. Plus, his body was built for speed after running from the villagers so much, and he was in the academy, even though he had failed twice, he could still outrun civilians. But why? Why did they hate him so much? He noticed those glares he received from people when he wasn't looking, when the shop owners charged him absurdly high prices and then offered other people discounts, when people pushed and shoved him around in public. He noticed all of it. He had never done anything to these people, he barely knew any of them, so why did they call him a demon? Why did all the parents warn their impressionable young children to stay away from him. It was unfair, he thought.
Naruto stopped to catch his breath and take in his surroundings. A couple ninja were leaping through the village across the village rooftops. At least the ninja didn't treat as bad. Don't get it twisted, they still treated him like trash, but Naruto wanted to be a ninja. He wanted to prove to everyone that he could be the most powerful ninja. He wanted to be stronger than even The Third Hokage, who was revered as one of the most powerful shinobi in the Elemental Nations. Naruto wasn't as dumb as everyone thought he was though. He knew that there was an important thing that made him different, the reason why people hated him, which he knew would change his life. he would find out why he was hated, and he would show everyone what he was capable of. with his new resolve and a fire in his eyes, he made for the Hokage Tower.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, the God of Shinobi, The Professor, who had had infinite knowledge of the Elemental Nations, was very troubled.
5 Minutes Earlier
The Third Hokage was busy doing his seemingly never-ending paperwork and cursing himself for taking up the mantle of Hokage again. Suddenly, the door crashed open, startling The Hokage, and a messenger-nin bursted in, panting from all the running he had been doing.
"Hokage-Sama, we have just received a report that a mob of villagers are going after a young boy, that is all sir." The messenger-nin promptly left the room, leaving a groaning Hokage.
'Not again! This is the third time in a week! When will those ignorant villagers realize he is not the beast? I must think through this and find a solution, maybe it is time to inform Naruto of his tenant. But he will most certainly crack under the pressure of this information. Oh Minato, what have you done to poor Naruto?
Back to Current Time
The Third Hokage was concentrating his thoughts, closing his eyes, trying to find a solution, when finally, his eyes snapped open and he made a decision.
"Cat, do you think it a wise decision to let young Naruto know of the Kyuubi sealed inside of him? We need to let him know why the villagers hate him so much, but the anger it might cause could accidentally trigger the Kyuubi's power, making him go on a rampage." Hiruzen said, asking his trusted ANBU.
Said ANBU stepped forward from the shadows, showing her mask with her standard ANBU attire.
"With all due respect, Hokage-Sama, I do not think it a wise decision to inform him of his tenant. He may try to communicate with the Fox in his mind, which could end badly."
"Yes, you are right Cat, I will enlighten him of this when he becomes more mature, until then, I don't want him finding out he is housing the Kyuubi No Kitsune, the most powerful of all the Tailed Beasts." Hiruzen turned his back and continued his paperwork, wishing he could tell Naruto, who he considered a grandson to him. Little did they both know, that in his haste to make a decision, the Hokage had forgotten to use a silencing seal, with meant Naruto, who was hiding behind the door, heard everything.
'I have the Kyuubi sealed inside of me? That... is AWESOME, imagine all the cool things I could do, how powerful I can become! If only I had known sooner, I could have capitalized on it!'
Of course Naruto knew who the Kyuubi was, it was the one who had almost destroyed Konoha before the Yondaime had defeated it. It was then that Naruto realized that the Yondaime hadn't defeated the Fox, but sealed it into a human, which was him. Everything was starting to finally make sense, the villagers hated him because they thought HE was the Kyuubi, not its container. It was also why he always sensed a different kind of chakra inside his own body that felt... unnatural. That must have been the Fox's chakra. Naruto had also heard about Jinchuuriki, ninja who contained tailed beasts which they would control. he had heard about their power and wanted to be just like that.
The blonde recalled that ANBU talking about communicating with the Fox in his mind. He decided He would try that. After all, it was a free day for him, school was tomorrow. But first he needed some good old Ramen.

It was finally time to meet the Kyuubi. He could barely hold his excitement in, twitching in anticipation, however, he couldn't focus so the blonde decided that, to reach into his mind, he would need to concentrate hard. It took a few tries, but finally, sitting in a meditative stance, he managed to be still. he thought about all of those times that people had called him demon, he sympathized with the Fox, knowing how it felt like to be hated. He felt a strong pull in his gut and found he was standing in a sewer. There were many pipes running around the walls, but only one of them was drawing his attention, a pipe that was dripping a red ooze that would melt through the floor before the floor somehow healed itself. The curious boy decided to follow it.
After following the pipe for a few minutes, the blonde found himself in a gigantic room with a mysterious set of bars with a seal on them that could only be holding one thing, the Nine-Tailed Fox. Feeling himself draw toward the cage he moved in front of it with a look of apprehension on his face. Suddenly, a huge mass of red appeared in front of them with pointy ears and a set of sharp teeth and claws. It began to growl at him.
"So you must be the Kyuubi, huh." Naruto said, looking in awe at the being before his eyes. He could feel the raw power from outside the cage.
"What do you want, silly human. Actually never mind, I already know what your going to say,'oh no, I'm so upset of how people treated me, and it's all your fault' HA, as if I care what you little meatbags think! Now begone, before I make you disappear!"
"Actually, I think you're awesome! Please, can you please teach me how to be as strong as you, Kyuubi-Sama? I don't care what people think about me, all I care about is becoming the strongest ninja. Haven't you heard about the Jinchuuriki who work with their tailed beasts, together we can show everyone the strongest Bijuu!
"Hmmm, tell me more about these jinchuuriki, and please make this damned sewer a little more comfortable. Maybe then we'll have a deal."
I hope that was good enough for a first chapter, I'm still not entirely sure where to go with this, so please review your suggestions.
Thanks for reading! :)
