A Different Life of Uzumaki Naruto.

The Beginning of a Great Life...

Uzumaki Naruto had just fallen asleep while crying in his bed, today was his 5th birthday, it should have been a very happy day, he thought he would have gotten a gift from Hokage-jiji and get to eat his heart out at the Ichiraku ramen, but sadly it did not happen this way. Today was also the day Yondaime Hokage of Konohagakure defeated the Kyubbi no Kitsune five years ago.

For long as he could remember today was the day when all the villagers would celebrate the defeat of the greatest of all the Bijjus by their beloved Hokage, but whenever he would try to join in their celebration they would always look at him with their hateful eyes, and call him names like "demon-brat", "murderer", and many other terrible things, and would drive him away by throwing rocks or spitting on him. He could not for the life of him figure out why everyone was mean to him and nice to every other kid his age.

Today however he thought it might be different somehow, he didn't know how, but he didn't want to give up hope and be a quitter, Hokage-jiji had told him that you should never give up hope and he believed him wholeheartedly. Today, Hokage-jiji met him at Ichiraku Ramen stand, and after wishing him happy birth and giving him his Birthday present, he had to leave quickly because he was having a very important meeting today.

After he finished his many bowls of ramen, he went to join in the celebrations for the Kyubbi no Kitsune but when he got to where other people were, some of the drunken men, started to hit him. He tried to run away but they followed him, they kicked his birthday present away from him and started to punch him to the ground. He tried to shield himself by putting his hands on his head and going into fetal position, but they kept punching and kicking him, even though he screamed for them to stop, and even though he called out for help, no one helped him, people were gathering around him, but no one stopped the 3 men from beating him into unconsciousness.

When he woke up, he was in the hospital bed and Hokage-jiji was next to him, his entire body was hurting. He looked outside the window and saw that it was almost night time. When Hokage-jiji asked him if he was alright he just told him to take him home, he always hated the Hospital, all the nurses and doctors gave him hateful glares, and tried to put needles in his rear, and so Hokage-jiji took him to his apartment.

And here he was, on his bed, sleeping with a bloody lip, broken ribs, fractured bones, and black eyes and falling asleep while crying his heart out. When he fell asleep he was having a dream that he had many times in the past, he was at a park and parents were pushing their kids on the swings, and families having picnics, and he was there sitting on a lonely swing watching all of this and thinking how it would be if he had a mother and father, when suddenly the entire scene changed and he was standing in a garden.

He looked around and saw many types of flowers, there were ajisai, sakura, tsubaki, and many others he did not know the names of. He was about to pick a flower when he heard a voice "beautiful, isn't it" he turned around and saw a beautiful red haired woman wearing a black kimono with sakura petals on it; she was wearing a sad smile on her face. "It's a lotus flower, it's my favorite, it is a symbol of truth, perfection, and immortality. Even though its Roots come from muddy pools, the flower emerges always fresh and clean." as she was saying this she was slowly making her way closer and closer to him, just as he asked "who are you?", the woman engulfed him in a bone crushing hug, as he felt something wet on his shoulders he realized that the woman was silently crying. "I missed you so much my son" the woman whispered thru her sobs.

As soon as he heard what she said he froze, his mind kept repeating the last two words my son.. My son.. My son... After what seemed like eternity he asked in a small voice "kaasan?" it sounded sad, nervous, fearful, and hopeful all in one. when the woman heard this she pulled back a little and looked him, he saw her face from up close, she truly was a beautiful woman, she had a loving smile on her face and her eyes were still crying, but when she nodded her head up and down, Naruto pulled her hurriedly to him and started crying his heart out.

Kushina returned Naruto's hug, and started running her hand thru Naruto's golden hair and started soothingly whispering in his ear to "let it all out, cry all you pain away so that you will never have to cry again." After a while Naruto's cries slowed down a little and Kushina said in a soft angelic voice "shh.. shh.. It's ok, everything thing is going to be alright now, I'm never leaving you again"

Author's Note: Hello Readers. This is my First FanFic so please give me some tips on what I could do to make it better. I appreciate reviews, good reviews, bad reviews, reviews that make me want to kill myself, I like them all. So please for the love of god tell me how I can make this better. I know there will be a lot of grammar mistakes, so if anyone wants to edit this please be my guest and send me a message so that we can make this story better.

This story will probably be a Naruto/Hinata. It might become Naruto/Harem, I'm not sure. I have not decided all of the girls, but I'm not worried because I still have a lot of time.
