Chapter 1: Reborn

A Mob gathered, consisting of common citizens to high ranking Shinobi, carrying various weapons ranging from a wooden bat to the sharpest of knives. Their objective was to vent their anger on their resident demon, a boy named Naruto Uzumaki.

The Boy is the living incarnation of the demon in human form pretending to be one of their own, a wolf in sheep's clothing. Many were fooled by him, thinking he was just a normal boy. Even their leader was fooled but not them, they are no fools.

In the darkness of the Night they went for the demon. Tonight, they will make the demon suffer like non-before. Arrangements were already made, no sound will escape the building, The Shinobi among them has made sure of that. Tonight, The Demon is at their mercy.

In an instance, they charged inside the building heading straight for the demon's room. They were filled with excitement, eager to taste the demons blood. They broke down the door and found the demon staring at them woken from all the commotion they made, His face filled with fear. They charged, he tried to run but there was no place to run. They lost their reasoning, took a tight hold of their weapons and began beating the demon.

Naruto was lucky or unlucky that people with bat were in the lead and those with knife were few and in the back. When they reached him he was already on his last leg. Thus, they started stabbing him when they got the chance among the pushing to get a piece of the demon.

The sounds of the demons scream for mercy; his agony was like a melody to their ears. All the pent up pain and anger they have buried in their hearts was release at that moment. By the time they were done, they room ricked of blood. Their faces, their clothes were stained with blood. They face were filled with euphoria. When they regained their conscious, their reasoning. They were terrified out of their wits.

At once all Eyes went towards the demon, the body or what was left of it was beyond recognition. At an instance, they turned tail and made a run for it taking pushing towards the exit as they ran.

The shinobi among them were calm, to them this was an expected outcome. They made their move and started to plant various explosives notes especially in the demon's room. When they are done all evidence of their involvement will be wiped out.

Why is life so unfair, what sin have I committed that I must suffer so much pain? I did no wrong? Is being born a sin? Then why aren't you suffering as well, why am I the only one? I did what was asked of me, what more do you want? I spend the day in my room playing quietly as you asked? Not going outside as you told me. Then why am I being beaten to death, so much pain, Please Don't hurt me anymore.

It Hurts, please stop. PLEASE…. It Hurts

I pleaded to them again and again and again but to no avail. The beating getting worse and worse. Oh! The pain, It Hurts so much.

I am getting dizzy; my eyes are getting heavy. I am Tired, So Tired. I am getting sleepy; Everything went black.

That Night a loud explosion woke everyone in konoha. It was a sad day for those who held a special place for Naruto in their hearts. Investigation were carried out some citizens were caught and executed but no shinobi that were involved got caught.

Unknown Plane

Naruto started to wake up, as he slowly, started to open his eyes. He looks left and right as he regained his bearing then started to sit up. He expected to be in pain but he felt nothing, no pain, no wounds what so ever.

'you are awake I see' Naruto jumped up straight at the unexpected and very deadly sound and turned to face it beyond terrified. This person was wearing a black cloth his face was hidden in shadows. He reeked of death and decay. Then he raised his hands which was old and bony like the hands of a starved person.

Naruto blinked, the next thing he knew there was a hand in his stomach with that person sitting and facing him at his eye level. We wanted to run for it but his body made no such movement as if it was frozen. Then he knew pain, as red misted started to come out the place where the person put his hand followed by a 'Roar' Filled with malice. He felt pain again this time much worse than before. He fainted.

This person started to slowly pull his hand out which resulted in more roaring sound and the release of more red energy. This collision of red and black energy started to tear a hole a small hole which slowly got bigger unnoticed by him. As he pulled his hand along with a red orb out Naruto's body was swallowed by the hole which got large in size for an instance and then immediately closed.

Unknown World

I started to wake up feeling dizzy and confused again. I did not know what time it was but my eyes tell me it is dark outside. The room was pitch-black, so I decide to investigate my surroundings and get up. As my eyes begin to gradually get used to the dark, I noticed many unfamiliar things, one after another.

This was starting to get weird. I was supposed to be in my apartment room or in a hospital after that beating, then that weird man that smelled of death. I felt a lot of pain but now nothing. It is because this is a dream or a nightmare but it felt so real.

Three similar beds to mine had been placed near me. Then I notice that including myself there are three figures sleeping in the beds.

And as I focus my eyes on the bulges on the other beds, I could see they were human-like figures in the beds.

So this place is a quadruple room.

"Where is this place?"

To shake the confusion from the sudden change in environments, I decide to check my own condition.

Just as I thought, my condition was quite different from before all this happened.

"Eh? Did my body become smaller?"

Sure, I am not that small but my body should have been the average height of a 12 years old.

However, right now, no matter how I look at it, my body had shrunk down to that of a 9 years old.

"Eh? This is?"

It is dark now and the other people sleeping near me might think I was crazy if I made any noise at this late hour.

Plus, I do not even know what is going on.

"I must behave myself till I can confirm my situation. So another nap will suffice for now …"

I was overcome with the desire to sleep as I thought about this and fell back to sleep.
