Blackout: Prologue
October 10th. A day that did not mean much for some of the shinobi world, but to those in Konoha, it was a day to mourn and a day to beat up the demon. For one young 4 year old boy named Uzumaki Naruto, it was supposed to be his birthday, a happy day for most children, yet for him it was a day filled with pain. He had no one to celebrate it with him.
Since the matrons of Konoha's orphanage had kicked him out Naruto had been living on the streets and eating out of trashcans for almost a month and a half. When they had kicked him out they had said "We have no room for monsters like you here."
That remark had stung, Naruto didn't understand, he tried his best to be nice to everyone, but everyone always glared at him, some never even acknowledged that he existed.
Seeing as today was his first birthday on the streets, he decided to treat himself before going to the festival he saw earlier. He was behind Ichiraku ramen digging through their trash when a mob of drunken villagers and shinobi appeared behind him. They pinned him to the wall with a kunai through each limb and watched as he screamed in pain.
Then they beat him…
"You monster, you killed my brother!"
"It's your fault!"
"My parents are dead because of you!"
"You killed my daughter you DEMON!"
Naruto was in agony as the villagers pelted him with stones and the shinobi with kunai and shuriken. Some of the shinobi were even going so far as to use ninjutsus in him. As the mob stepped back to admire their work, they were angered to see that several of the older wounds had begun healing.
One of the shinobi in the crowd then had an idea. "Let's see just how much the demon can heal!"
He then used a clan technique to make a deal with the shinigami, and just like that, with a blinding flash of light, Uzumaki Naruto's eyesight was gone.
