A/N: Good day everyone. I hope you have read through the summary clearly because i don't any flames for the first part.


Prologue: That 'incident'

A young child that roams in the streets…he looks for hope that will light this mad world. Clutching tightly on a loaf of bread that his small body shielded; scratches, bruises and scars covered his tiny body. Thin like paper was this small child, it was truly amazing that a small child could survive like this. Clothes too big for his age, hanging down helplessly, a red collar strap around his neck like an animal and everywhere he goes, crimson red blood follows him and tracks the way he goes.

'Humans, humans who do you think you are?'

I ask myself, watching from the clouds. I spotted a group of red and orange splotches running around like a pack of dogs along the black road. I could hear them yelling and shouting with endless madness and fury. I closed my eyes for a few seconds then opened them. The red splotches were surrounding something that was very small, a dull yellow splotch... The reds forced the yellow towards a small house in the far west.

'Interesting what these humans do.'

Elegantly, I step down from my home and enter the world of humans, looking just like them - a human.

I was dressed as a villager; wearing dull brown clothes was the best.

I travel down to where this dull yellow thing was taken away. I could hear screaming and thrashing, as I make my way through the forest.

A group of human surrounds the area, they have caught him…


A silver snake tangled by my throat

Slips beside my skin and wrapped inside my coat

Keeps me so still at night

Makes sure I lose every fight

The clasp with its forked tongue

Pushing taunts in every side

No matter where I try to run

There no way that I can hide

Each link burrows into my skin

The silver hisses as I struggle

It laughs as I lie in pain

Exhausted from the strain

It keeps me but does not hurt me

Only your fists can damage me so

Can pound me till I lie

I'm almost dead with nowhere to go.

Thrash by the whip so many times.

Blood flows out of my limbs and encircle a large pool.

I could hear them jeer and shouted hooray.

Mad, mad world…

What a lovely horrific place to be.

I could hear talking and mumbling…

"Let's just kill the demon already"

"Chop off his head!"

"No! Stab the demon's heart if he even has one!"

A roar of laughter followed from this man's comment.

"Rip him into pieces and sell his limbs!"

"How about we make him blind so he can never be a ninja, and when the time is right we kill him!" Another man roared savagely.

I gasped out loudly as those people excitedly whip me once across my bare chest, twice, thrice... I ignore the pain; I was too shocked and numbed at what these people were doing to me.

They laughed some more, and asked me a question. "Do you like it?" They sneered.

Before I could answer, the man holding the whip cracked it harder against my pale and bloodied chest, all the pain combined suddenly hitting me. I screamed out loudly and violently thrash against my chains, I could feel warm liquid running down my face and onto my bare skin. I wanted to use my hands and cover the pain but they were restrained by the chains. I could do nothing, but watch helplessly as they torture me and enjoy it…

Suddenly, something warm and hot bubbled within the room. I felt like my body was being possessed by its own mind, I was already up to my limit and was almost going to faint from the pain and exhaustion I had to endure; but my body didn't give up.

The chains that held me in place were suddenly gone. I could move freely now but I didn't have the energy left. After a few minutes, I fell down to a group full of bloody people who had missing limbs – they were all unconscious or otherwise dead. I scrambled up to my feet and ran for it immediately, away from that hell. Everything was black and dark; I kept on bumping and scraping into rough and hard surfaces that might have been trees…

Into the forest, into the safe and forgiving night…away, away from those people…


[Insert Naruto Shippuden OST Kaii]

'These horrible humans' I thought, moving closer to the worthless bodies.

"How sad and miserable, how strange and terrible…" I said slowly, ramming a kick at one of the men in the stomach. The man spitted out blood, and cocked his head painfully to look at me.

"H-How dare you k-kick me?" He threatened pathetically, spitting out more blood. His hands enwrapped around his stomach to where I kicked it.

I laughed then smirked at the man. "How weak you humans are…" I replied. "Such a young boy, and he was already made a target." I sighed, shaking my head. Walking away from the man and his cowering group, I turned back and smiled at the man who still dared to glare at me.

"Don't worry, you will never go to Heaven with that kind of soul, you can go to Hell where you belong instead." I told him before leaving in a flash.

I again crashed into a tree, I could hear people screaming bloody murder and yelling frantically - ninjas moving and people gathering.

I stopped running; I could feel my ragged breathing, the trees rustling their fallen leaves in my direction. I fell back onto soft grass; I have already reached my limit.

My body won't listen to me anymore but I was glad that I couldn't hear anymore voices from those people; everything was still dark and scary. I wanted to see the stars that pierce the gloomy sky and the lovely nature, but I cannot see it. I started to cry but intense pain follow as the tears came, but I didn't mind… I just wanted to express my feelings into this empty world.

"Maybe, Dog-neesan is going to take me back." I wondered, feeling the wind brush against my tender wounds…

I met him since I moved into my apartment. Usually I would catch him cleaning my room, fixing the door, shopping for vegetables, choosing my clothes…and attacking people when someone tries to harm the village. He was someone like a guardian.

I flexed my arms; I could feel the chains attached to the shackles. I moved it to touch my leg and my neck; it was the same, but the red ribbon that was usually there was gone.

I laughed abruptly at a certain memory…

I was sitting in my bed while Dog-neesan was wrapping bandages around my leg. "Thanks Dog-neesan…" I mumble embarrassingly, scratching my cheeks. He grunted something incoherent and finished wrapping the final strip. Standing up, he began to walk away, but then turned and looked back at me with a troubled expression.

"Naruto...Why do you have a collar on you?" he asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Collar?" I asked back with a confused face.

He walked towards me and sat next to me and tugged the ribbon.

"Ohh…that. I had a fight with someone at my class, and he slashed me in the neck with k..." I stopped; I didn't want to continue on…

Dog-neesan nodded, "So you want to cover it?"

"Pretty much…" I muttered.

"Why didn't you show me? It might get infected!"

I blinked and stared at the floor.

"Do you…care…for me?" I asked slowly, silence filling the room like veil. "I mean like...a demon shouldn't be loved or taken care of…I should be d-"

I was cut off when Dog- neesan patted me on the head…

"You shouldn't talk like your some animal, you are human… Of course I would care for you." Dog-neesan's voice had a special gentleness to it as he spoke, he grunted gruffly and rubbed my hair some more.

My eyes widened in astonishment, and tears came down my face.

'I was a human…' I thought...

Dog-neesan was taken aback a bit by my open display of weakness, he told me not to cry anymore before tucking me to sleep…

"Keep strong, Naruto…" He said to me…the memory fading to black…

I smiled gently at the memory then finally fainted from the sadness and exhaustion… I could barely hear the yelling and the shouting on the background – they were closer now.

Someone nearby picked me up and held me like a newborn pup…

"Who-who are you?" I mumbled tiredly…My eyes fighting to open…

"Shh Naruto…Dog-neesan is here… Everything is going to be alright, so just relax…"

I nodded for the last time as I felt strong hands tuck me in…closer to Dog-neesan's warm chest… It was the closest thing to home, to be beside him…


The demon that Naruto held trapped inside growled slightly before swishing its 9 tails back and forth.

"Now the kid is going to be an easy target…that I cannot allow."

Kyuubi released a miniscule fraction of his chakra out of the cage, the hot wave of red chakra disappearing out of the dank and lightless room…

"That should suffice for now."

The Kyuubi yawned, baring its great fangs before falling back to deep slumber...
