Konohagakure - October 10Th - day of the Kyuubi festival
Today was supposed to be a happy day. Filled with games and stories from around the great nations. The Kyuubi festival over the past 4 years had become well known to travellers. The village should have been proud to defeat such a great enemy. However it wasn't like that to all who knew what trully happened on that day.
For on that day the fourth Hokage didn't kill the demon as so widely believed. He mearily trapped it in the body of a child. And this day is anything but happy for him.
Running down the street all most people could catch was a flash of blue eyes and sun-kissed blond hair. His name was Naruto Uzumaki the Jinchuriki of Kyuubi no Kitsune. Currently he's running for his life from a mob bent on killing him.
Naruto in an act of desperation turned the corner down an alley only to come face to face with another mob. Desperate he turned to see if he could get out. But, lady luck must have decided otherwise. Now trapped he does the only thing he can do. Curl into a ball and hope for the best.
For the next 3 hours he was beaten in every shape and form. Lead pipes, knives, fists, feet you name it they did it. By the time they stopped Naruto had already lost consiousness.
"Good. We finally killed the demon! Now we have to get rid of it's body." Said a chunin.
"Let's put him near the edge of the forest. If were lucky some wild animals will eat the body."
"Fine. You 4 Chunin take him there. You can do it faster then us." "Hai" They chorused

Border of Konoha forest
"Okay, let's dump the body here." The first person suggested. He had red eyes with 3 tomoe in them. Obviously an Uchiha clan member.
"Fine but I say we mess with it. Not like he's gonna miss a finger or 5. Hehe." Said the second he had no real defining features.
As they all decided it couldn't get any worse they went to do just that. I mean the boy was dead. They didn't know how wrong they were.

Naruto's Mind scape (few minutes earlier)
'urgh where am I?' was the first thought to Naruto. As he looked around he came to an amazing discovery! 'I'm not in Konoha anymore'He was right (for once) He wasn't in Konoha. Looking around he saw a huge cage with a paper reading 'seal' on it. Inside he sees a pair of red eyes.
So of course the first thing he says is...
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!" The glowing eyes look at him for a little before a low rumbling sound. Then it increased and almost sounded like...laughter? This big thing was laughing at him.
"What the fuck are you laughing at you bastard?!" Naruto then glared at the... whatever was behind the bars.
"Kit, for someone so young you sure can swear you know that." More rumbling laughter.
"Yeah..well kinda hard not to pick up what you hear every day..." That really caused an awkward silence... Then the whatever started talking.
"Well kit to answer your question We're in your mind. Also since I know what you're going to ask I'm Kyuubi no Kitsune." As it said this it walked to the bars. And there it was a giant fox with 9 swishing tails looking on in amusement at the shocked face on it's prison. Suddenly that shock turned to contemplation then to dawning understanding.
"So if this is my mind and your in here that means...Your inside me. How though we were taught you were killed." Now he looked confused. Kyuubi decided to help a little.
"Think kid. All the glares. The beatings. Me inside you. You seeing a pattern here or do you need a diagram." Finally the boy understood everything. He hung his head and tears slide down and rippled in the water. When he looked back up his eyes were different. They lost the shinning hope and laughter that was once there. Now his eyes were filled with pain, hurt and betrayal. Even the Kyuubi greatest of all demons felt for the boy. No one deserved this. The boys last defence finally broke...
The mask was gone...
"..So they all saw me as you...Obviously the Old Man made a law or something saying they can't tell kids my age.. Yet t-they still (hic) hate me." At first his voice was smooth then it sunk in. At the end it was shaken and broken. Just like him.
"...Nice to see that mask gone...Kit let me tell you. I'm not sorry for attacking your village. Trust me when I say you had it coming. But, I do regret what happened to your life because of it. Not even demons would treat children like that...So I have a deal for you."
Finally looking up he wiped the tears from his face. The pain and everything was still there but, there was also curiosity there.
"What kind of deal?" He asked cautiously. Past experiences helped with dealing in these kinds of situations.
"Right now we are outside of Konoha walls. Let me take control for a bit and get us out of this. Then I can make you forget. Make you forget the pain. A new life if you will. A life away from the hate. What do you say."
The blond contemplated the question for a little before deciding that life wasn't worth living without taking risks.
"Sure I'll do this deal."
"Good once I give you back control you'll know of me but only as your sensei. That's all you won't even remember your name. So enjoy see you later kit."
And with that Naruto's eyes rolled back to the whites and fell to the ground. Red chakra started pumping into him and Kyuubi smiled at the boy (which looked kinda creepy) And said in a hushed voice.
"Don't worry kit, You'll have a better life now."

Continuing were the chunin left off.
Just as the Uchiha member was about to chop off one of Naruto's fingers he was in-cased in glowing red chakra. All the chunin started to shake they knew this feeling. The Kyuubi.
Looking at the boy who had now risen they noticed some changes. The whisker marks had deepened. His teeth turned to fangs and nails to claws. The most horrifying thing was that his eyes, no longer the sky blue they once were, turned red with slitted pupils.
"You really thought I'd sit back and let you kill me? Stupid ningens. Now, DIE AT THE HANDS OF THE GREAT KYUUBI NO YOKO!"
With that said Kyuubi tore into the stunned group with a starved fervor. Ripping out throats and hacking off limbs. Soon he was covered in blood but, he didn't care. How he had missed this! The fear of his prey as he shredded them to pieces. The only sounds heard though the entire exchange were detached screams of those who knew they would die...
And mirth filled laughter from that of a demon.

A few minutes later
A man walked into the clearing where he and his comrades had heard the screams and laughter. What he say would have made a normal man puke. However he and his family were anything but normal.
The clearing was filled with blood and entrails. Now the trees were stained with guts and brains. Looking at his feet the man saw an eye. Blood red with three tomoe. However probably the most disturbing hing was in the middle of the clearing.
There sat a boy, no older then 4, drenched in blood from head to toe. His hair was covered in blood though he saw strands of blond, on his face were three dark whisker marks on each cheek. His eyes were a ghostly blue. Holding no emotion and showing no life. He only knew the boy was alive because, of his position and steady rise and fall of his breathe.
Deciding to find out what happened he approached the boy.
"Hello there young one, what happene here?"

Same time (Naruto's POV)
I woke up and I saw myself surrounded by dead bodies. Or what's left of them. I wasn't really surprised. For some reason I felt that I had seen worst things. Looking at my hands I saw them covered in blood and from what I feel I'm not hurt.
'So I killed these people.' After figuring this out I can only think...'Why?'
I try to think back and I don't see anything. Confused I close my eyes and try to find a memory any memory...
Nothing.
No memories. I have no idea who I am or why I'm here and it frightens me. Suddenly I hear a voice.
"Hello there young one, what happened here?" Asked what was obviously a male voice.

Normal
The child looked up at the man. He looked to be around his late 20's. Tall with white hair darkening into black as it went. His eyes were a forest green and held curiosity and slight worry. At first the boy didn't know what to do. He felt like running forever and never looking back. A voice he heard stopped him.
'Kit, trust him' The dark but, soothing voice told him.
Looking around confused the boy tried to find the voice. Seeing no one except him and the man he decided to listen to the voice.
The man seemingly seeing the boys confusion decided to try and gain the boys trust.
"My names Shinku Okamitsu. Do you know what happened here?" He asked as kindly as he could. A flash of an old man with a funny hat came to mind. However as fast as it came it was gone again. So the boy answered to the best of his ability.
"I think I killed them." The boy looked around again at the bloody remains. "I don't remember."
The man frowned slightly. He thought? Shouldn't the child know if he killed or not?
"Do you remember your name child?" Already suspecting the answer. He wasn't at all disappointed as the boy answered in the negative.
The man thought about what he should do. He had a boy he remembered nothing and apparently could kill. Leaving the boy here wouldn't help with what he was seeing of the boy's mental state. So he could be adopted into the clan. That seemed like the best idea.
"How would you like to come with me. If you wish you could join me and my clan. You'd have a family." Shinku said awaiting the boys response.
He was taken aback. Somehow the idea of a family felt alien to him. He desperately wanted to accept right now. Unfortunately something in his gut told him to be cautious.
"Why would you do that? What's in it for you?" The boy asked looking straight into the eyes of Shinku. Waiting to detect a lie.
"...Simple. I would be helping someone as all humans should and..." Shinku looked at the moon and saw it was blood red. "I get a new student to teach and better." He finished with a smile.
That one smile did many things to the boy. He relaxed and calmed down from the events that took place. He started to feel like he could trust this man with his life and future. But most of all he felt that life was still worth living.
"...Thank you." He said in a low whisper. Shinku couldn't help but smile. The child's eyes were still emotionless but, he had his trust and that was all he needed now.
"Pleasure I'm sure. Now since you don't have a name let's give you one. Any ideas?" Shinku asked. The boy looked at his hands then the area around them. He looked up and spoke his new name.
"Kessen." Shinku smiled and clapped a hand on the boys shoulder.
"That's a fine name Kessen." Shinku thought of the meaning of the name. Bloody battle. He looked around. 'A bloody battle indeed.'
And so Kessen's new life began.
