The sun was setting after a long day as young Uzumaki was walking back to his apartment from the Academy, his spiky blond hair covering most his face which held a frown at the moment.
He had failed the genin exam...again.
He had failed the writing portion of the exam, having only a few questions right out of 20. Then, going on to the jutsu portion exam, Naruto messed up on the Kawarimi No Jutsu, failing to switch with anything in the room and resulting in only a poof of smoke and wasted chakra. Then next came the Henge NoJutsu, to which Naruto decided to use his Oiroke No Jutsu which did pass for that part of the test, only pissed off Iruka and Mizuki. The last test, which is Naruto's most despised jutsu, the Bunshin No Jutsu went terribly. Naruto ended up making one, very sickly looking clone, which resulted in a fail.
His resulting fail of the exam had depressed him again, like it did every time he failed. Naruto wasn't sure how he kept failing the written test, thinking that approximately 3 years of the same knowledge should of passed him though the test. Back to Naruto, he kept walking though the street, shrugging off all the cold stares and hateful glares to which he still knew not what he did to these people, besides pranking them of course. Unaware to Naruto, a small group of people, around 4, were following him and slowly gaining. As Naruto walked past a alley, he was pulled back by his shirt and thrown to the ground of the alley where shadows covered all around.
"Its about damn time some one took your life Demon!" One man said with venom lacing the words he spat towards Naruto. Naruto pushed himself up to his feet and looked at the group before him. He noticed they were all holding weapons like kunai, shuriken or kitchen utensils.
"Why do you people do this to me!? What have I ever done to deserve this?" Naruto partially yelled to the group, tears threatening to escape his eyes.
"Shut up Demon! You never should of been born!" Another man said as he pointed his kunai towards Naruto, "Once I kill you, the whole village will praise me!" he said. He rushed up to Naruto, his kunai coming closer and closer to the young boy's heart. Naruto, thanks to 3 years of the academy's taijutsu course even if he did do terribly, managed to dodge to the right of the man's assault, but not without earning him a small cut on his left arm. Naruto winced, but was used to this kind of pain as it was regularly caused by the towns people. In the corner of Naruto's eyes, he saw another group member come running at him brandishing a regular kitchen knife.
Even though Naruto had some ninja training, it didn't mean his body was built to move quickly. Naruto tried dodging the second attack, but failed as the knife went into his right shoulder, causing him to scream in agony. Blood started to gush out of the newly obtained wound as Naruto began holding on to his shoulder. The other 3 of the group took this opportunity to all attack at once since the "Demon" was stunned from unbearable pain. Naruto saw some of the villagers coming at him and telling his body to move, but his legs would listen to his commands. They came closer and closer, time moving slowly, until sickening sounds were created and scream of pain echoed though the alley and into the streets.
Time seemed to stop at this moment. Naruto was in immense pain, 3 new wounds in his torso could be seen as blood began staining his shirt. Naruto fell to his knees, kunai and knifes still stuck in his being. He lifted his hands up, and looked in horror at them covered in his own blood. Then all feeling left Naruto, as the rest of him hit the ground with a loud thud. Then men surrounded him and began laughing and boasting about their victory.
"The demon is finally dead!""I've finally avenged my family!""The Kyuubi No Kitsune reincarnation is dead!" They all shouted, earning some cheers from bystanders that showed up after hearing the cry of pain that came from the village demon. The surrounding men began adding insult to injury by kicking Naruto's unconscious form.
"To think people could do this to a child...You low lifes are the true demons..." A new voice broke though the sounds of cheering and laughter. All the villagers surrounding looked in the direction from where the voice originated. They all saw a man, roughly 6 feet tall, body covered in some kind of armor, but what stood out the most was his head, where a glowing red visor stared at the crowd. People began shouting criticisms to the strange man.
"Why do you care? He's a demon!""He killed my family!""He's a demon worshiper!" originated from the crowd of people. The man ignored the comments as he began walking to the blond boy that is currently lying in his own blood. One of the villagers noticed where the armored man was heading, and wasn't about to let someone help the demon brat. The man foolishly charged at the man, holding his kunai out in front to ram it into him. The newcomer noticed this action and stood there and let the kunai hit him, only to watch as it broke in half when it connected.
"Seems like someone gip'd ya on that kunai there. Didn't even pierce me..." He said though his strange voice. He pulled his arm back, and his armor began to glow blue while saying, "My turn."After uttering those two words, in an instant the man that had tried to injury him went flying though the crowd of people, knocking them to the ground roughly, and ending up a few inches in a wall outside the alley. People's faces began to look on in terror as they began fleeing from the scene while screaming. Now all there was left was the man and young Naruto lying on the ground. The man brought his hand to the boy's neck and checked his pulse. After a few moments he let out a sigh of relief.
'Amazingly he is still alive, even after this much blood lost!'He thought. He lifted hands to his helmet, the sounds of mechanisms moving filled the silent air, and the helmet came off, revealing a shaven head and emerald green eyes staring at the boys form with concern.
"I don't know how this boy is still alive, but I'm sure that it won't be for much longer.." The man muttered with a normal, unfiltered voice. " Looks like I will need to give the kid the suit. Ive lived a long enough life, seems like a few life times looking at all the shit I've gone through..." The man turned Naruto's body around and lifted his head up and placed the helmet on him. He spoke up, as if Naruto could hear him.
"Looks like you need this more then me kid. The suit should protect ya good enough from these terrible people." He reached down and grabbed the top half of the broken kunai from earlier. "The suit should also explain itself once you wake up. I wish you luck kid, and hope you will have a better life from now own." He put Naruto back down on the ground and took a few steps back. "By the way, my name is Prophet. Goodbye kid." He finished as he brought the tip to his forehead and rammed it into his skull, killing himself instantly. His lifeless body fell to the ground with a thud that echoed though the alley.
1 hour and 23 minutes later...
3 figures where hovering outside the alley way, looking at the current crime scene.
"ANBU.." Stated the middle figure, whose face was covered by a large hat and white robes.
"Yes Hokage-sama?" The masked figures asked, standing firm as they were being addressed by their superior.
"Take Naruto-kun back to his apartment, put him in his bed and guard him until he wakes up. Once he wakes bring him to my office so I can ask him what happened here today." The man identified as the Hokage ordered.
"Yes Hokage-sama!" They said in unison. One picked up Naruto, who seemed to be heavier then usual and wearing something of unknown origin. They disappeared in a puff of smoke, taking Naruto to his apartment. Meanwhile, the Hokage looked at the corpse that was next to Naruto that was there when they arrived at the scene.
'What happened Naruto-kun...Did this man do something to you? And what were you wearing?' The Hokage thought in concern of the young boy's health. He stood there a few more minutes, and then left the area with a Shunshin No Jutsuafter ordering another ANBU to take the corpse to the hospital for an autopsy.
And that is the end of the first chapter :D! I think I did pretty well with writing this, and I can't wait to see what you guys have to say about this. Please review and tell me where I can make the story better. Also, please put down any ideas for relationships you guys can think about (Ino, Sakura, Hinata, More then one?, etc.). After a few suggestions I will put a poll up in the next few chapters or so.
Also, don't expect this story to be updated regularly. I do have school, as-well as a life( surprising as that sounds) but I will do my best to get new chapters out often. Untill then :0!
