The Young boy couldn't understand why the villagers hated him, in his eight years of age he had been hated and loathed by the very same people of his own village, he was already used to the beatings, but that day was different, for some reason there were ninjas in the mob as well, he knew the village's streets like the back of his hand, but there was no way he could hide from experienced ninjas.
The boy ran with all the speed he could muster. He heard the whizzing sound of a kunai passing just inches from his head, he started panicking, and even in moments like these he maintained his cool though.
"Shit! They aren't going to give up! I need to get a way to lose the civilians at least." were the thoughts of the boy as he panted heavily.
Then it hit him, he could lose them if he managed to get near enough the hokage tower, the civilians never dared to do anything to him being that near to the old man hokage, so with his destination in mind he ran at full speed towards the hokage building without even looking for help from other ninjas, he knew that he wasn't going to get it.
After what seemed hours of running in front of a mob of enraged villagers and ninjas, finally the tower could be seen above the houses, slowly the civilian part of the mob started scattering, but he had the ninjas on his back still. And, unknown to him, they were leading the young boy towards the forest.
Suddenly he noticed the change of scenario and looked around, finally noticing that he had been tricked to get him out of the hokage's sight. Eventually, the ninja's caught up with him, he knew that they were going after him, but he would be damned if he let these fuckers take him down without putting up a fight!
Naruto saw that the ninja's were three anbu's, the very same anbu's that were supposed to be protecting him from the villagers.
"Well well, the demon child encounters his end, ¡At last!" said an anbu with a bird mask chuckling.
"Now that you are about to die, we should tell you the reason, ¿ne?" said the first anbu's partner with a horse mask.
"You see, eight years ago, a giant nine tailed demon fox attacked this village, hundreds of lives were lost, but when all hope was lost the yondaime appeared in the battlefield riding the toad summon boss, Gama-bunta, the yondaime faced the fox and eventually won, giving his life doing so… But that's not all, eight years ago a law was created by the hand of the sandaime hokage, a law that no one should ever speak about especially to you…" said the tori masked anbu with a mocking tone.
Naruto's mind was processing the information at a very fast pace, he couldn't get the sense in all of that; ¿why was created a law that he wasn't supposed to know about? then it hit him, the cold stares the hatred, the beatings, ¡of course! All made sense now, there was no way, even for a kage to defeating a demon, let alone the king of the demons, and the next best thing was… sealing. The anbu snickered when he saw Naruto's expression of realization and then the boy paled; the villagers where right, he was a demon.
The anbu watched with amusement how the tears fell from the demon container's face, Naruto cried freely, without caring if he looked weak.
"I'm sure that that's the reason why the snake whore likes you so much." Said the third anbu laughing.
"¿What did you said?" asked the boy with anger evident in his tone.
"Well you know, that Anko whore really likes you, I suppose that pariah's attract each other." Said the anbu as he laughed.
"Now that you mention her, maybe we should pay her a visit after this." Said the bird masked anbu watching how the face of the boy changed from sorrow to an immeasurable anger.
He could let them make fun of him, he could let insults slip, but never, ever, would he allow a friend of his being insulted.
The anbus watched with raising worry how the boys eye and sclera became gray and starting from the pupil circles formed in a ripple like pattern. Then they saw how the pupil got slited and his eyes got a little touch of red.
The boy placed his palms facing the three anbus and aimed at them, his mind clouded by the anger and hatred towards the three men that had insulted the woman that had passed a life like his, his only true friend. Even when he didn't know how to do it, the blond started to draw and accumulate chakra in his hands.
"¡SHINRA TENSEI!" shouted the kid whit a demonic voice, then he saw how a blast of energy surged from his hands destroying everything on its path. After that he blacked out due to chakra exhaustion.
He started to open his eyes, slowly getting used to the light before opening them completely. He was completely sore from the… whatever it was he did earlier, suddenly he noticed that he wasn't in the forest anymore, and neither in the hospital for that matter, he looked around and noticed that he was in what looked to be the inside of a clock, with all the pendulums and gears all over the place. He walked through the clock and noticed that there was a staircase formed by gears that led to the floor below, without nothing better to do he took the path and descended to the floor below to arrive to a barely lit instance where he could see some candles to give light to a huge room, he saw that in the back of the room was what looked to be a metal door, he walked to the door and his eyes widened as he realised just how big and heavy the thing was, the weird thing was that holding both metal doors was a slit of paper with the word… seal…
Naruto paled, now he knew where he was, he was on the Kyuubi's domains, and he didn't like that one bit, he noticed that two really big red orbs watched him silently from the height they were at.
"Kyuubi" whispered the boy.
"Naruto, for what is worth, I'm sorry…" said the beast as it lowered its head to be at Naruto's level.
"¿Come again?" said the boy now really confused.
"It's my fault that you are hated by the villagers and underestimated by your peers, but you have to understand, ¡I needed to protect you!" Said the fox whit shame and sadness evident on its voice.
"¿What do you mean when you say that you had to protect me?" Asked the boy completely lost.
"It's our responsibility, we must serve and protect the bearer of the Samsara eyes, and that happens to be you." Explained Kyuubi.
"¿The what?" asked the blond still not catching a word of the conversation.
Kyuubi sighed and a little mirror appeared in front of the boy, who gasped at seeing his eyes, now rippled grey eyes.
"The hell…" was the great response of the boy.
"Those are the Samsara eyes, or Rinnegan, however you want to call it." Said the fox.
"¿What where you protecting me of anyways?" asked the genuinely curious boy.
The fox snarled.
"From Uchiha Madara, the same fool that tricked me to attack the village in first place, however I snapped out of it and sensed the danger you where in if Madara knew about your eyes, so I tried to reach you anyways, I just wanted to make sure that you were alright kit, but I think that I screwed up big time…" said the fox with its head low.
"I… I'm sorry, Kyuubi-san, it was for me that you attacked the village, it was my fault that you have to be inside me now." said the blond with a tear falling through his cheek.
"O… ¡Oi! ¡Don't cry! ¡I wasn't your fault! ¡I promise!" said the fox not wanting the boy to blame himself. "¿Tell you what? ¡I will try to make up a little with you! ¡I will train you to be a motherfucking unbelievably strong ninja!" exclaimed the being.
"R… ¿Really? ¡Thank you Kyuu-san!" said the boy with a wide genuine smile as he hugged the fox's snout. "And don't worry, I don't blame you at all." Said the boy.
Suddenly the fox let out the breath it didn't know it was holding and felt relieved, and even when it's fur was a deep shade of red the fox ¿blushed?
When the boy left his mindscape he was greeted by an annoyingly bright light, he closed his eyes and adjusted them to the places light level and opened them again, he saw the white ceiling and grunted. He was in the hospital… again. The boy sighed and looked around, he noticed that his arm was attached to a machine that beeped from time to time, he noticed that some blood had leaked from his eyes, due to the forced activation of the Rinnegan, so he got up and ripped a part of his shirt and wrapped it around his eyes, thanks to the Kyuubi enhancing his senses he could actually feel what was going around, well, short of.
He heard the door being opened and two people gasping and nearing the bed where he was now.
"Naruto, my boy, ¡you had me sick worried!" said the voice that he recognised as the third hokage as the man hugged him, worry still present in his tone and in his shaky pulse.
"Ojiji…" whispered the boy as some tears appeared behind the makeshift bandage.
"Gaki, your… your tears…" exclaimed the other voice, Naruto knew what he was talking about, the tears had mixed whit the blood and he now was crying tears of blood.
"Naruto-kun, let me see your eyes" asked the hokage even more concerned now.
Naruto bitted his bottom lip, ¿should he show his eyes to the caring sandaime hokage and risk to get them discovered? ¿or should he just decline the request? With a sigh he opted for the first one.
Naruto unwrapped slowly the cloth, and showed them his blood covered bottom eyelids and even slowlyer he opened his eyes and lifted his head, he saw both men gasp wide eyed, there he stood with the Samsara eyes looking at them with the famous doujutsu.
"Jiraiya-kun, ¿Is that what I think it is?" asked the hokage, clearly not expecting to see those eyes.
"The Rinnegan, and to think it was real…" said the now known as the toad sannin Jiraiya. "Sarutobi-sensei, I think we should hear the story from the gaki." Offered the gamma sannin to which the sandaime nodded, still too shocked to speak properly.
The boy proceeded to explain the events that led to those eyes, excluding Kyuu-san's meeting part.
Sarutobi looked at him with concern.
"I'm sorry I couldn't do more to protect you from the hate of the villagers…" apologised the old man.
Naruto grinned with his usual cheerful foxy grin and looked at the old hokage waving off his hand, gesturing that it didn't matter.
"I would like you to do me a favour though, Oji-san, I need to leave the village, but I would like if I could enter the genin exams right away without assisting to the academy." Asked the boy to which gathered a raised brow from the man.
"And ¿Why is that Naruto-kun?" asked the man curious about the boy's motives.
"Well, for one side I want to protect myself and more importantly my friends, you see, if I didn't killed those anbu they would have hurt Anko-chan, and in the other side, I want to control my bloodline to assure that I don't just lose my temper and shot Shinra Tensei's out there randomly" said the boy starting with a sad voice and ending with a grin to the Shinra Tensei joke.
"¿Could you show me this ``Shinra Tensei´´ thing?" asked Jiraiya getting a nod in return.
They went to an empty training ground, he faced the forest, remembered the feeling of the last time and gathered his chakra, lifted one palm, aimed and…
"¡Shinra Tensei!" The force of the gravity decimated the landscape, taking everything that got on its way in a circular pattern.
"Wow…" both Sarutobi and Jiraiya said.
They noticed that the blond fell to the floor and blood started leaking from his eyes once again, showing that the move took about almost all his chakra and that his body wasn't still accustomed to the eyes.
"Sarutobi-sensei, ¿could I take Naruto for this training trip he had thought?" asked Jiraiya genuinely interested.
"Sure thing, I feel better leaving him in your hands then letting him roam aimlessly out there, you may make him your apprentice." Said Sarutobi with a smile. "At last things start working for you my boy…" thought the elder Hokage.
Three days later, the blond shinobi wana-bee and the sannin left the village with their backpacks in order to train and get stronger than ever, their silhouette disappeared from the old man's eyesight, not to see any of them for five years…
