Prologue
It was October 10th, the day in the year he dreaded most. Mobs would swarm around in massive numbers looking for him, and extract "divine punishment for killing many members of Konoha", and torture him as they beat him up. It was hell to put bluntly, a living hell.
Gazing at his reflection in the mirror, Naruto took note of all of his tattered clothes, as he shakily stood.
"Why does everybody hate me so much?"
He reached out, stretching to touch his reflection, as if to touch the image to find a friend among the loneliness, only to see it suddenly shatter as a barrage of kunai were flung in his direction. Shouts could be heard, cheering for every stab he got, cheering for every drop of blood that fell, and his Anbu guards just stood there, neutrally gazing anywhere, but where their charge was.
5 kunai streaked toward Naruto, 1 hitting the mirror right before the others struck, pinning his arms and legs onto the mirror frame. The shinobi that threw the knives mocked him, saying, "Is that all the 'all mighty' Kyuubi can do? You're nothing more than a piece of vermin, a pathetic piece of trash that doesn't even deserve the air you breathe, the disgusting clothes you wear, and the fucking food and water you greedily slurp down. Do us all a favor." He suddenly gained a twisted and malicious look. "Go die, and rot in hell!"
The mob cheered as the shinobi blazed through handseals, as he screamed out "Katon: Karyuu Endan", sending a giant dragon made of hot white fire whizzing towards Naruto. The dragon approached him, and Naruto instinctively flinched as it drew closer, closing his eyes and bracing himself for the pain, but also with slight happiness that he would no longer suffer at the villagers' hands.
The blow never came. Stunned silence permeated the air, as the air shimmered and pulsed with power in front of the dragon. Granules of sand, iron sand to be precise, gathered in front of Naruto, in great pillars flowering from the pools of his blood, and shielded him from the flames.
"Finally showing your true colors? Hmph. That won't make any difference to what will happen."
The rest of the mob, civilians and shinobi alike rushed at him. Naruto whimpered, and croaked out a few words.
"What have I ever done? I never killed, or attacked anybody!" His voice got louder to a mild shout towards the end, sobs wracking his body, as he lost conscious of what was going on. The last words he heard were "You insolent little whelp. You are the 9-tailed demon fox that attacked our village 5 years ago! Don't feign ignorance, for the wall earlier just showed your true nature."
Pitchforks, torches, stones, shuriken, and all sorts of other items with potential as weapons were thrown at him with others opting to get hands on and stab him. Unafortunately for them, the wall from earlier never quite dispersed, and contorted, creating giant spikes, impaling everything in a 5 meter radius.
The chakra spikes were felt a good distance away in the Hokage tower, and so the Hokage decided to investigate with his crystal ball. When he saw Naruto bloodied and about to be burned, he widened his eyes and sprinted towards the location, desperately praying for the best.
"Fuck, those stupid villagers don't know the goddamned difference between the Kyuubi and Naruto. I'm sorry Minato, I failed your last wish, for I couldn't protect your son."
As he reached the dark alleyway, a sudden set of iron spikes emerged from the shield, and more rapidly emerged from the ground around it, impaling civilians and shinobi alike within that distance.
The rest of the mob flinched at seeing the bloody demise of some of their members, and began screaming. "The demon is out to get us! HELP!" "ANBU, HELP SAVE US FROM THE KYUUBI!"
People began dashing away from there, only to be stopped at the entrance by the Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Stop where you are," the Hokage shouted. "By law under the S-ranked secret surrounding Naruto-kun's status as a Jinchūriki, you are all penalized with death."
A squad of Anbu swiftly appeared, with weapons drawn out, and began cutting down the mob with accuracy, striking the neck and chest with their weapon of choice. Soon, all members of the mob were dealt with, and the wizened old leader approached Naruto.
"Naruto my boy, I'm so sorry about what happened…" A tear slowly dripped down his face, and splashed onto the ground, mingling with the blood. He gently removed the kunai that crucified Naruto to the mirror frame, and picked up his battered and bloody form, sprinting to the hospital.
