Zabuza Momichi, the demon of the mist, was wandering towards the village hidden in the leaves, Konoha for a job he was assigned by a mysterious man, find and kill the Kyuubi. Little did he know that the great nine-tailed fox was interpreted as a small boy. He was nearing the gates when he heard crying. "Haku, stop crying. You know it annoys me."
"Zabuza-sama, it's not me."
"Then who the bloody hell is it?"
"I don…who's that boy? He looks injured!" The feminine boy ran over to the 5-year-old blonde. Who just so happened to recoil in fear of the 2. "Hey. Brat! Why you crying, it's annoying."
"P-p-please d-don't h-hurt m-me I-I-I d-d-didn't k-kill anyo-one!" Holding his hands up in a defensive manner, Zabuza raised an eyebrow. Haku gasped and hugged him, the boy gasped thinking he was being attacked and then he realised how comforting the gesture was and visably relaxed. "Why would we hurt you?"
"B-because e-everyone else d-does." "Hey brat, the fu…" Zabuza stopped as Haku shot him a glance that meant a lot of pain "I mean, what's your name kid?"
"N-Naruto, but everyone's called me Kyuubi brat or demon…" He trailed off. Zabuza stalked off intending to hurt whoever told him to assassinate a child. Haku ran behind him yelling "ZABUZA-SAMA! He has a strange mark on his face." Zabuza ran back and saw the Naruto crying out in pain.
