Naruto is a female in this fic because a few scenes that I feel uncomfortable writing if she is a he, no I am not sexist.

Disclaimer, I do not own what I don't own like Naruto and a few moves that I might borrow from other fanfics since I read so many I can't really tell which one is mine and which one is other peoples.

Enjoy

Punishment among humans, Home within the nature, Death, Realization

Ever since the age of 4, Naruto realized that she was different, it wasn't that hard to tell everyone glared at her, except for a few clans that were so indifferent that she would have mistaken them for statues except for the fact that they actually moved and can talk, and always charged her higher than what was written, she maybe five but she's not dumb enough to take everything as they are. Moving down the street walking towards the forest she spent over a year in, the forest where her parents now lay dead under the cold ground she thought back to last year, the year everything changed.

Flashback

She just turned four, there was a festival during this time of the year but she knew it wasn't for her. Unlike the other children in the Orphanage she is smarter and stronger, and has a sense of mentality of people much older than her. Hearing people call her demon and watching her with those cold eyes, not allowing their kids or any kids to play with her forced her to mature faster in order to cope with the loss of her childhood this also gave her a lot of time to reflect, think and train, at mid-day the festival was in full bloom, everyone was having fun, laughing and playing games, everyone but her.

Like last year she tried to sneak out in order to look around, but this time she was caught, looking into the eyes of her captor, the orphanage leader, looking to see cold furiousness reflecting within. "You little shit", His voice held traces of venom, "You want do go out so much don't you even if you weren't supposed to. You know the rules don't you"

There are a few rules within this orphanage one come to eat on time if not then you won't be able to eat, two make your bed, three clean up your assigned area, four no stealing, and five and most important do not go out unless you got permission. Breaking any of these rules would result in being sent without food for that meal, or grounding, but if you break the last one you will be spanked 100 times bare butt before being kicked out from the orphanage without your clothes and if you meet anyone they can administer 10 more. The last rule is there for the fact that this is a ninja village during emergencies like a spy escape or war it is dangerous to go out unless instructed otherwise.

Due to the severity of the last rule no one has ever broken it… until now. "Go prepare yourself", he continued after giving Naruto a moment to remember walking up to her room slowly, mentally bracing herself for the ordeal that is set to occur in the near future. Reaching his room she immediately pulled the shutters so no one will be able to hear her cries, that and it is embarrassing if an ANBU stationed around would see her. She stripped knowing that if she left anything on it will be torn apart by the caretaker anyway. Clasping her hand she walked to in front of the door with her head bowed it, as they were taught and forced to remember when they first learned the rules. Secretly she sent a small amount, barely detectable, to dull the pain and reduce the aftereffects.

She learned the secrets to chakra manipulation by accident a few days ago while falling from a tree, channeling enough chakra all around her body that she gained only a few bruises instead of breaking a limb. She also sneaked into the library that very same day stumbling upon a strange looking scroll that showed a few strange hand signs that allowed her to change into anything she like.

She snapped out of her reminisce by footsteps that seem to echo around the nearly empty house. Looking up she saw the caretaker, he walked passed her to sit on the bed, she dutifully followed him then laid on his lap waiting. He gently placed his hand on her butt while the other holds her down through her back. He said softly, "You know why we are doing this don't you". Replying in a small voice, slightly afraid of what is to happen, "Yes sir I tried to sneak out when I am not supposed to". "And why weren't you allowed to go out?"

"It is because I am too young", she managed to squeak out, she knew, she knew so damn well that only 7 year olds and older can go out unsupervised since most orphans start to go to the academy at the age of 7. "Are you ready?"

"Yes sir", she felt his hand lift then it came down with a hard smack.

"One" Her back curved up reacting to the pain but she will not cry, she will not give him the satisfaction of letting him see her tears, "Two" she started to practice her breathing exercises in hopes of dulling the pain.

She was able to keep silent until the 10th strike when she accidentally let out a cry, after that slip it's like a dam bursting. She kept saying sorry, that she wouldn't do it again so please stop, her tears racing down her cheeks in a steady stream, but her cries are met with silence except for his counting.

Three-fourth of the way through she felt something building up within her naval regions it was also during that time that the position that she was being spanked changed, she felt herself being lifted up with one leg leaving one leg dangling. With horror she realized that she just drank 5 cups of water prior to being caught. She tried to suppress the need to go to the toilet knowing that if she accidentally piss now she would not be given the chance to clean up before being sent outside, and she would rather not smell of piss for the rest of the day, with that in mind she crossed her leg. Fortunately this doesn't interfere with the spanking so the caretaker allowed it. Unfortunately the spanking resumed slowly breaking her concentration in keeping her needs under control; as the number hit 100 she let out a cry before a steady stream of yellow liquid sprang out. Since her legs are crossed none of the piss hit the caretaker but it cascaded down her body soaking her before being absorbed by her hair.

Watching her in disgust he walked down with her still dangling before throwing her out. Luckily the orphanage is in one of side streets that no one really goes into; looking around she saw no one, running a few blocks over she ran into the side street. Ignoring the pain on her bottom she transformed herself into a small puppy she ran over to the forest that she often play in during her free time not daring to run in her normal form afraid that she might run into anyone.

As she ran she found a group of people dancing, sighing in relief, glad that she took the precaution to change, she continued to the forest not knowing that her every move is being watched.

Reaching the forest she dispelled the transformation before jumping into the lake. As she floated she took the time to consider her current situation, no place to return to, no food, no shelter, and no one that would miss her except for that old man in a funny hat and perhaps that strange person with a mask that looked like a wolf who never spoke. Hearing the bushes shuffle she quickly swam down leaving only her eyes above the water, she saw a skulk of foxes, getting an idea she quickly transformed in to a kit around 9 days old before allowing her body to float in their direction in hopes that they will take care of her.

She felt something grasping the back of the neck before being pulled towards the shore. Reaching the shore she made a show of shivering, not that it was hard she was cold, she felt a body wrapping around her before hearing a soft feminine voice saying, "She will live if we take care of her", "Good thing we came by then", this time a masculine voice rang out before she felt another body lay beside her warming the side that isn't covered by the other female. "We should take care of her; I have plenty of milk especially after that"

"Ok my love but for now let us head back" She felt herself being lifted up before drifting off into sleep.

Meanwhile in the Hokage's Office

Anger, relief and joy flickered over the Hokage's face as he watched Naruto through his crystal ball, anger at the punishment that is actually correct to be administered relief and joy to see that Naruto finally found someone even if that person isn't human to take care and love her. Unlike the other people who thought animals are dumb, he knew differently having made a technique to hear the voices of animals

The next day with the Kitsune and Naruto

Naruto woke up next morning feeling hungry, smelling something warm, her instincts that came with the body told her, food and most importantly mother, reaching out she lashed her muzzle upon the small tits she tasted milk gushing into her mouth, drinking it heartedly before hearing a small chuckle, opening her eyes she turned to look her nose touching his as his silver eyes gazed into her sky blue eyes, father, the smell told her. "Hello" she whispered out as she played with her paws a bit nervous. She heard a gasp before she heard him say "Hello kit names Silver and that", his snout turned to the female kitsune she was suckling upon just a few minutes ago, "is my mate Leaf, we found you drifting along the riverbank, so do you have a name and what happened?" "Well my name is Naruto and before you found me I was…" She drifted off before playing the act of a traumatized kit, shaking and crying, it wasn't that hard she had a hard childhood, harder and yet easier than most. Luckily Silver bought her act before starting to calm her down by gently licking her head over and over.

Her cries woke Leaf who immediately joined Silver in comforting her, "Arigato tousan kaasan, can I call you that?" Looking down at the ground once more fearing the worst, the two foxes shared a smile before nuzzling her on both sides glad that she accepted them so quickly before speaking at the same time "Of course … musume"

Over the course of the year was one of the happiest of her life she played with her adopted parents, learned how to hunt, and how to defend herself in a fight when she is out numbered or against bigger enemies. She even made friends with a pack of wolves who were friends with her parents.

All was well until that day, snow started to fall and hunters started to fill the woods, they are storing food to last the winter but during the last hunting trip a hunter with his dogs found them. Naruto and her parents fought against them, red blood splashed across the white snow, they were doing well until one of the dogs managed to get its teeth on Silver's throat and bit, blood splashed as time started to slow down to Naruto, she stopped fighting staring at Silver in horror. During the second that she stopped a dog pounced its teeth aiming for her throat she looked back knowing her time is going to end before she felt herself getting pushed looking back she saw her mother giving a small smile before whispering, "Goodbye we love you" The dog reached Leaf and in one bite Leaf's throat was torn, time slowed even more as she gazed between her father's bubbling throat as he tried to breath to her mother's glazed eyes, red filled her sight, and with that anger, Kyuubi woke. She closed her eyes and roared she pulled on her chakra that laid unused for over a year and with that chakra came the red one, then she found herself in the sewers, looking around in confusion until she looked up to see, a humongous fox filled her vision. Bowing her head somehow sensing that the Kitsune in front of her is more than what appears.

"Look up Kit do not be afraid, even if I am the Kyuubi" She looked up to see the Kyuubi smiling sadly at her as teardrops run down his cheeks. Seeing the tears she couldn't help but wonder 'Why are you crying'. As if sensing her thoughts he said "Those two are some of my friends before my sealing" That caused her to wonder even more 'sealing? How? Who?' "I am sealed in to you after being controlled by a man-who-will-not-be-named" He looked up then suddenly say "You won't meet me again, until I deem you worthy goodbye" She felt her vision darken for a moment then then next thing she knew she was standing on a mound of bodies of the dogs and the hunters she slain while under the influence of the red chakra, not that she knew that, she just staggered towards her parents 'dead' she slumped down next to their bodies and cried, she didn't know how long she laid beside her parents but by the time she looked up stars were in the sky. Undoing her transformation she returned to being a human girl before carrying her parents to their home burying them with the food they had stockpiled before carving out a cross and wrote Here lies Silver and Leaf, the best parent a Kit could ever hope for her tears started to leak out once more, her mind whirled remembering a phrase that the Kyuubi said, that he is seal within her. She connected him with the incident that happened 5 years ago and realized that he is the reason why everyone, well, almost everyone hated her. Shivering now that being in her real body once more she doesn't have a nice pelt to keep the cold away. She was about to stand up to find another place to sleep for the night but she felt something nice and warm and thick covered her, looking up she saw the old man, "Hello, Naruto" "Hello old man", she kept still for a while before launching herself towards him, the only person aside from that man in the mask, to be kind to her, the water works started a new.

Flashback end

The Old man, or the Hokage as she heard someone say, had given her the small forest that she lived in and had a house made for her, he also gave her a chance to become a ninja which she accepted, she knew that if she were a ninja she could protect what she consider precious from now on. Now at the age of 7 she will start the Ninja Academy, then become a kunoichi at 12 if she passes the test. Looking down at her parents grave she recounted what she had done that day before returning home.

Tomorrow will be the day everything starts once again.

-End-

So how was it? Should I modify the ending a bit? Should I do like the other authors and leave you hanging with a cliffhanger desperately waiting to find out what will happen next?

Is it good enough?

…..

By the way I have a poll for her summoning go and check it out; I will pull down the poll before the wave arc.

I will try to have the next chapter up by every Sunday from now on.

Review if you want something to happen.
