A young boy ran into some bushes from a mob of angry men shouting obscenities.

"where'd the demon go?" asked one of the drunk men.

"I saw him run into the bushes,"shouted another. Not a second later did the young boy burst from the bushes to avoid a kunai being thrown at him. The young boy crawled into an open vent and shimmied further into it until he found himself falling through a grate.

The young boys name was Naruto Uzumaki,village pariah. He ran into the vent to avoid the beatings from the drunken villagers. It was always worse on his birthday, October 10, during the festival celebrating the death of Kyuubi where everyone would be drunk and chase poor naruto.

Naruto was lucky enough to stuble upon the open vent while running from the participants of this years festival. He fell into the library,but not just anywhere in the library but the forbidden room with only one scroll. The Scroll of the Earth.

"What's only one scroll doing in the whole room,"wondered Naruto as he looked around,"and where am I?"

Naruto picked up the scroll and headed for the only door in the room walking into the library. He saw rows upon rows of scrolls,10 shelves high.
