The Hated Man
Chapter 1: The child of an Unknown Legend
It was raining, the night's moon was hidden behind the clouds but this was of no concern as a car suddenly screeches to a stop in front of a hospital's emergency entrance. A man jumped out in the rain and rushed over to his wife's side, he opened the door and carried his pregnant wife into the hospital and hastily put his wife into the offered wheel chair explaining to the nurse when her water broke and other medical histories that could affect the baby. He barely found the words to say as the nurse and doctor went into the sterilized room and he was left outside watching as the green light turned red and hearing his wife Yuki scream in agony as the baby started his or her path to life.

It had now been three hours since he had brought Yuki here, he was worried, not just for Yuki but for their child as well. So many choices so many responsibilities. He looked down at his hands, how could his hands hold such a beautiful being when it was stained with the blood of thousands. His head snapped up his face panicked, he feared the worse as the small bell and green light signaled the end to this horrendous wait. A nurse opened the door and pulled down her mask revealing a smile, she waved him over and he nervously stood up and walked to the door. He noticed the doctor pull open the curtains and he realized that until now he had no idea what love was. He smiled at Yuki as she held up the child to him. Naruto's shaking hands steadied and he picked up his seven pounds nine ounces daughter and his crystal blue eyes softened looking upon her daughter for the first time. She was beautiful, radiant and pure.
Yuki watched as he held their daughter. "What should we name her?" And in a whisper he named his only daughter.
"Mikoto… Mikoto Uzumaki."
Yuki grinned weakly and nodded "that is a great name Naruto."
Naruto nodded as the sun started to rise, it was 6A.M and the light shined revealing a man of 6'2, his shoulder length blond hair shined brightly and his grin was infectious. The doctor and nurses congratulated them and went to document the birth of Mikoto Uzumaki. Naruto sat next to his wife and held her close as they silently celebrated the birth of their child nothing could've been more perfect than this.
The next day they brought their daughter home and learned the burden and joy of raising a child. Naruto was a store owner before he had met Yuki, he still was, his tiny store had become a major power in book publishing and selling books which was made for both children and mature rated books. His famous book was the Gutsy Ninja dedicated to his first real mentor when he was a ninja. Perhaps I should explain. Naruto was born when Chakra was well known and utilized into weapons of war; this was back when the world was young. At the time there was Nine Bijuu that ran rampant and killed many. These nine were sealed into children to control their power but soon these children would turn on their villages because of the abuse they took as their role as a demon carrier.
He was one of these human sacrifices and his seal was made to do three things, to seal the demon, to slowly give the power to its holder and most importantly to kill and get rid of the demon and its influence over its abundant Chakra. However during Naruto's lifetime a man name Madara Uchiha wanted control over all nine demons and tried to use their power to control the world. Naruto and Killer bee barely defeated the "immortal" man with the aid of the ninja world. After the battle the demons were dragged back toward hell but rather than be a tool for hell the Kyuubi gave Naruto all his power and thus created Naruto the immortal ninja who wouldn't die unless he was seriously out of chakra and seriously torn up. But Naruto had millenniums to perfect his skills and of course collect many ancient but powerful objects. Thus he was pretty much as immortal as can be.
Naruto was happy with Yuki and Mikoto and he couldn't be happier in all his years of living. He watched as his child grew from a baby to a ten year old. Yuki and he were happy with this seemingly perfect child but like all things in life things ended. He came home one day, Mikoto was playing downstairs outside with their neighbor's daughter, and he had come home early today because today was their anniversary. He had bought lilies, Yuki's favorite, and had reservations at eight, booked a baby sitter and of course he had bought her a diamond bracelet twelve diamonds for twelve years of marriage. Naruto took one last look at his daughter and walked up the stairs he heard the T.V in their room and knew it was on a little loud. Naruto tried to open the door but found it locked, he suddenly felt the urge that Yuki was in trouble and he kicked in the door.
He heard Yuki scream as her eyes widened to see her husband drop the lilies he had been holding and the box of diamonds, Naruto's face grew stony his eyes shadowed and his face terrified her. Naruto pulled her off his neighbor and continued by pulling the screaming man out of his bed into the bathroom and locking the door even as Yuki protested and screamed at him as she held the bed sheet to her naked body to let him go. All she could hear was her lovers' screams of pain and the sound of breaking objects.

Naruto punched this man, this defiler again and again, the man cried pathetically as Naruto's iron fist hit him again and again. Naruto held the man up to the sink he had filled and dunked the man's head in. The man tried to fight back but he was too weak and almost beaten to death to fight back. Just as the man was about to leave this world Naruto pulled him out and tossed him on the ground. He was coughing and Naruto frowned she cheated on him for this piece of trash? Naruto tossed him a towel "here's a towel clean yourself off and get the fuck out, you come around here again I'll fucking kill you." The man could only weakly nod.
Naruto opened the door looking down at a crying Yuki, "you get your shit and get out I'm taking Mikoto for ice cream, if your still here when we come back I'll remove you from the property." Naruto walked out of the room and sent the neighbors daughter home and took the enthusiastic Mikoto to get ice cream. Yuki could only watch as her lover stumbled out of the bathroom picked up his clothes and left not saying a word to her. Yuki picked out a suit case and packed up and left she avoided the family pictures and she couldn't feel worse, she knew at the back of her mind that this affair would come back to haunt her but she couldn't resist the passion and flurry of action and forbidden fruit.

It had been four years since then, Naruto was now divorced, his child was taken from him do to some bullshit about how his mental stability was in question, they even brought that defiler on stand who complained about injuries that still affected him today. His wife weaved a great story of domestic abuse and his threat to remove her from the property. That day would forever haunt him as the day his daughter first said "I Hate You!" Naruto had moved from the city after giving the company to the board, they said that the bad press would only harm the company after a unanimous vote Naruto was locked out. That didn't leave him helpless though, he was old, he had investments all over the world and he owned major corporations through proxies. In two weeks he had taken down his old company through his information to his proxy companies there were rumors but no one could track anything down. In the end he made 7.6 billion in U.S dollars off of the destruction of what he built.
Naruto lived in the country now, a humble blacksmith to those around him. The village was located deep in the mountains and forests. Naruto had however won the right to see his daughter two weeks every other month. The village was a Japanese renaissance pretty much people lived in period and grew their own food, fashioned their own clothes and built their own houses. Most of the funding was by Naruto's hand and the village flourished under his direction. People often came here to experience the life of their ancestors and Naruto welcomed them with open arms, Naruto had become the unofficial lord of the village although he was the blacksmith as well, his home was the feudal compound built on the biggest hill, it was self-sustaining and could house over a hundred people easily. Naruto walked around the fire of the forge which burned red hot, Naruto still practiced his ninja skills due to the Kage Bushin who steadily pumped the bellows which turned the iron a soft white before Naruto pulled it from the fire hammering impurities out and helping the carbon bond in the iron. He was making a simple knife but it still took a considerable amount of focus and energy.
Naruto's muscle bulged and the sweat poured from him but he relished the work out, the hammer an old friend turned the simple metal into a hunting knife for Takashi, one of the hunters for the village. The light of the fire bathed him in a red light. Naruto channeled some chakra into the knife increasing the strength of it and making it pretty much proof against rust or disuse. Naruto inspected the blade with keen eyes and smiled dunking the rapidly cooling iron into the water. He pulled out the blade and tied a strip of leather around the hilt to the blade and poured liquid lead over the straps quickly making sure that the lead didn't detract from the knifes beauty creating two thin lines of lead that was able to fit comfortably into any hand and make sure the leather would stay on. He spun the blade over his fingers and tossed it into the air before catching it and throwing it into the door frame as Takashi fell back out of the door.
Naruto grinned as Takashi yelled obscenities at him. Takashi was stout standing at 5'3 but he was heavily muscled and could be fast when he wanted to be, he was good with a short bow too. Naruto pulled out the knife and helped him up and put the knife in his hands. Takashi marveled at the blade, Naruto appreciated how Takashi held the blade before doing hand exercises with the blade. Takashi nodded "you did good Lord Naruto, the blade is perfectly balanced, and the edge is sharp enough to cut through treated leather. Holding out his cut up gloves.
Naruto smiled "yeah well I wasn't always a city boy Takashi, I grew up learning the craft and found that I am pretty good at writing books.
Takashid nodded "well I should head out I'll send the boy with the payment."
Naruto waved goodbye and went back to the forge he had to get a hoe done, fix the axle on a cart and… Naruto grinned just as a girl of fourteen walked through the gate just as Takashi was leaving. She was already 5'7, super tall for her age which she blamed him for, she had long black hair from her mother and her green eyes and she had an amazing smile even though she frowned more often than not when she visited him. To her coming here was a punishment for being born and Naruto shrugged it off the first two years probably still blaming him for the divorce but he guessed she just hated the period living. She huffed as she waved him before walking into the living quarters of the compound.
Naruto sighed and went back to work, closing the forges door and hoping that these two weeks would be better than her previous visits.
