Lost Angel- (Naruto) Summary: Naruto was one of victims as test experiments and very few survivors; He and others were designed to be "superior to all other humans."
Chapter 1
"I need to get the money...the boss said that I can get any person, but preferably younger..." The man muttered helplessly as he looked around in the deserted area of Konoha. He was given an alias, Kato, to protect his identity. He was wearing hooded cloak over civilian clothes.
"Damn, there's no one here... Ah-ha!"
He spotted a young boy with blonde hair sitting lonesome on a swing watching the other children playing.
Kato noticed that there was an invisible barrier between himself and the boy.
"Yuck," a near by male villager scowled making Kato jump, the villager paid no mind and continued speaking to his companion, "Look at the demon watching our children, he should be under a close watch not let loose about the village."
'Demon?' Kato mentally questioned.
"Yes, I agree. Let's sit here and do just that." The man's friend agreed as they went to nearby bench to sit down.
'Demon,' Kato mentally repeated, 'that doesn't make sense,' he thought, frowning. He was new to this village, yes, but at the same time he had never herd of a child so hated as to be dubbed 'Demon'. Then again he was forced to come here so it wasn't his choice only his boss's.
His boss was a scientist looking for experiments, enough said.
He was about to walk away but he then saw the children get picked up by their parents.
What happened next shocked him...
The two villagers he unwillingly eavesdropped on went up to the blonde kid, and were saying something to him.
All he could hear was something along the lines of, "Hey, DEMON! Why not to play with us little?" They sounded sadistic.
Kato felt sympathetic, so he followed when they grabbed the blonde and quickly silenced him. He kept his distance but was close enough to see.
They went into an alley. He could see the kid was begging for help and struggling to get away from the men, although, Kato was sure that kid would NOT get away.
"Ha-ha, serves you right!" They beat him in several places while laughing like mad-men.
"NO, please-" The boy begged, making Kato even more sick of these men. He wondered why they would do this to an innocent kid; he didn't do even anything to them!
"Shut up, you deserved this," One of the men shouted.
"Agh," The boy screamed in pain.
"Should we call our friends? They can join in and enjoy the demon beating!" The other man said, gesturing to lying and bleeding kid.
"No need."
"Ah, okay! Let's enjoy this while we can," the other jubilated, his hits becoming more self enjoyed by the second.
The scene made Kato sick. He wondered what choices he had.
Give him to the boss? He didn't want the boy to live so painfully because of what these villagers do to him.
That when he had decided to get the kid out of the village. However he couldn't interfere, he couldn't take on two full grown men! So, he waited until they were satisfied with beating him, flinching occasionally.
Right after Kato hid himself; the fools came out of the alley.
Once they were gone, Kato quickly rushed to the kid; the sight horrified him to the core.
This kid looked so thin and sick. So many bruises; he had even bleeding nose! The scrapes and other injuries...
He closed his eyes, and then grit his teeth.
"Kid, are you okay?" He kneeled, putting down the towel that was on his shoulder then wiped the blood off the small child's wounds.
The child flinched and murmured, "P-please, don't hurt me...I didn't do anything!"
Kato's heart broke; making his decision as he pulled the kid into his arms, he was so light and weak. Oh Kami, what did they do to him? He quickly put the blanket over the small child and carried him. His weight was so light, he must have been malnourished.
Hey, Shang," Kato whispered into his walkie talkie. Once again they're hiding their identities by using Kato and Shang. His partner looked around and found Kato from afar, instead of answering to the walkie talkie.
"So, you found one? The others found corpses in the forest outside this village,"
Shang said getting a blanket out of his messenger bag and covered the body of the unconscious child. "I heard they hated the child dubbed demon..."
"You mean him?"
"Yeah, I have no idea why but good thing you carried him here. So, let's go and hurry up before anyone notices us," Shang muttered to his partner, beckoning him to hurry up.
"Will they do something for this kid?"
"Yes, I think so." Shang said, shrugging.
Kato frowned, remembering the information from yesterday, as they hurried to get out of the village.
Flashback!
"So, if you ever find ANY bodies let it be the young," the shadowed figure spoke, "If you manage, I will give you more money."
Kato frowned at what he gained from him. "What will you do those people?"
"My, it's none of your business... All I can tell you is, we help the people to be what they should be."
End Flashback
Naruto's Dream
"Come on, you can do it! You can't just surrender to them," the little blond boy told himself as his small feet carried him quickly away from his cause of adrenaline rush.
His feet hurt because of the stones and twigs but he only felt little pricks and didn't know they were already healed every time when he stuck his feet into the ground.
He was running away from the drunken people that certain night.
That day was his birthday and it just so happens that the Kyuubi tried to destroy the village on that same day years ago.
The boy's name was Naruto Uzumaki.
Naruto tried to hide himself in his room but it didn't help because the landlord would probably send an assassin to kill him.
"Come back here, DEMON," the drunken man groaned angrily, trying to throw kunai and shuriken at Naruto.
Naruto feel over due to a kunai stab in his leg, yelping in pain.
"That serves you right, demon spawn," another person screamed in triumph, kicking Naruto's stomach as others joined in.
"Please let it stop!" Naruto begged but his face was stomped on by a drunken Chuuin who laughed in satisfaction for kicking said 'demon'.
"Why, you beg for it to stop?! Heck, you can NOT beg since you're a demon," the Chuuin sneered and added, "Why not to throw him in the river? So that he will drown himself; he can't swim on his own, right?"
There were agreements in screaming, his vision was blurry, and the pain was too much.

Thanks and credits to my beta reader Hatake Kumiko! This first chapter would've been a mess without her! (Yep, I'm really grateful. :D) I got an idea from the book named Maximum Ride which has been bugging me to write this.
