"It's that time of the year again" 'thought Naruto.
10th October, anniversary of the Yondaime's defeat of the Kyuubi, the Nine Tailed Demon Fox, a natural disaster made of chakra. A being so powerful that not even Konohagakure's Yondaime Hokage, the most powerful Hokage, could defeat it. That's why he did the only thing possible, he sealed it into a baby boy, newborn child whoose chakra coils had not yet developed. His own child.
Naruto
When the Yondaime did this he wanted Konoha to see Naruto as a hero, a person who kept the Hidden Leaf Village protected from the wrath of the Kyuubi. But as Fate would have it that was not what happened. Far from seeing Naruto as a person the villagers thought Naruto as a reincarnation of the Demon himself.
The actions of most of the villagers towards him were different. While most of them hated him people showed it on different level. While nobody was kind towards him, some just minded their own business, some glared at him, threw things at him, some shouted at him and tried to hit him.
But this day was always the worst of all. On this day a mob of people would always gather and try to 'finish the Yondaime's noble work' as they called it. Fortunately enough, (for Naruto) until now they had never been successful and after Naruto became a Genin they never had a chance.
Even though he learnt to put on a happy mask before the world and show them that he did not care, this one day was always the worst for him. Everyone always celebrated with their family on this day.
The day always reminded him that he did not have parents, hell he did not even know who they fact that the day was his birthday did not help things even a bit.
Now here he was, sitting in his apartment, waiting for the day to end.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door which brought Naruto out of his thoughts and back into reality. "Must be some villager trying to kill me again"
He opened the door and a pleasant sight greeted him. There standing in his doorway was Hinata Hyuuga with a small blush on her face and her pointer fingers poking together nervously.
