'Hey Hyūga girl, show us your Byakugan!'

'Your eyes are creepy…'

'You're actually a monster, aren't you?'

'Yeah, a Byakugan monster!'

Slowly a young girl woke from her slumber, happy to be free of that bad dream, but confused why it was that moment, years ago. "Naruto-kun…" she mumbled. It was the first time anyone had stood up for her. The dark blue haired girl with lavender eyes and shy nature blushed, relishing at the time when she first noticed she had feelings for a certain blonde, knuckleheaded boy, who was too kind for his own good. She then snapped out of her stupor and got ready for the day. Today was a special day. Today was the Academy Graduation Exams. Today was when she would show Naruto that she can be a great ninja.


A young blonde haired boy stirred and sleepily got up out of bed and waited a few seconds to adjust to being awake. When the young boy, Naruto, looked at the clock, his eyes bugged out and he cursed. "Shit! I'm gonna be late for the graduation exams!" Naruto quickly got dressed and put his goggles on his forehead. He then ran out of his apartment, not even bothering to lock the door. As he ran out, the young boy ran into a man on the street and fell down, making the man drop his groceries. The man then looked at his scattered groceries, then at the boy, recognizing him. The man then yelled, "Get the hell out of here! You're not wanted!" and proceeded to kick the young child while he was on the ground, while others joined in, "Yeah! Leave us, you demon!" "I wish you would just die!" "The Hokage should've had you executed!"

The boy didn't know what to do. Yes, this was a daily occurrence for him, but he was still just a child. Naruto had no family, his own village hated him, and he doesn't even know why.

The boy crying, and trying to get up off the ground, "I-I…." and he ran. He ran until he lost the angry and spiteful group of citizens that he knew was bound to form any second, as they tended to throw rocks at the child, screaming and cursing, while Naruto was receiving many bruises and scrapes, while running and being pelted with rocks.

He ran, crying out for help, as he ran into a field, finally losing the mob, as he stopped at the base of a tree in a training field. Naruto was exhausted. He proceeded to curl up into a ball and cry himself to sleep, for the rest of the day.


A dark blue haired girl was at a certain ninja academy, looking around the room, concerned. Naruto hadn't shown up for the exams and he didn't even tell anybody. It was nearing Naruto's turn to get called to do the three required jutsu. "Naruto Uzumaki." asked the sensei of the class, Iruka. The other students just looked around, wondering where Naruto was.

"How troublesome." Said a certain boy, who looked like he was ready for a nap, whose name was Shikamaru Nara. "That idiot, not even showing up, because he knows he'll fail." said Sasuke Uchiha, the only survivor of the Uchiha clan massacre. "Yeah, even if he did show up, and even if he did pass, which is unlikely, he'll never be as strong or as you, Sasuke-kun." said a pink haired girl with a large forehead, known as Sakura.

"Shut up, billboard brow! Don't talk to MY Sasuke-kun!" yelled a blonde girl, whose name was Ino.

"He's not YOURS, Ino-pig. He's MINE!" yelled the pinkette back, starting a fight between herself and Ino over Sasuke's attention, earning themselves groans and exasperated sighs from others in the class.

"Ok, that's enough you two! If Naruto isn't going to make it, then I congratulate you into becoming genin!" exclaimed Iruka. 'Naruto….where are you?' he thought, worriedly.

'Naruto-kun, I hope you're ok…' thought the blue haired girl, worried for the blond boy.

"Wait, what about Naruto? If he doesn't come, he won't become a genin. That would throw the team selection process off balance." spoke a boy with a grey coat with a fur hood and red paint on his cheek and a small puppy on his head.

"If Naruto comes by at the end of the day, and does all the tests, regardless of whether or not he was in class, he may pass." spoke Iruka, hoping the blonde would indeed come by before the days end.


Naruto was bloodied and hurt, as he was launched into a restless sleep, due to exhaustion.

When he woke, her found himself in a dark sewer with water up to the ankles, and once he looked around, he noticed that in one direction, the sewer seemingly went forever, but in the other direction...there was huge bars, almost like a cage. And on the middle bars, there was a paper that said 'Seal' on it.

Naruto then started walking to the bars, curious yet afraid of what must've been behind said bars.

"Hey kit." Said a voice from behind the bars. The voice startled the blond, as he took a few steps back.

"I won't hurt you kit, just come closer. I want to talk." the voice said. The young kid walked a little closer to the gate, doing as he was told.

"Wh-Who are you?.." asked Naruto. Then he saw it. From beyond the barred gate, he saw a large fox, slowly get up from lying down, then suddenly, the fox splayed out all nine of its tails. The fox was very large, and red in color with red slitted pupils and nine, large tails. The fox was menacing to say the least.

"I am the kyuubi. The nine-tailed fox. And I have brought you here to talk." said the now named kyuubi.


AN/ Hello, this is EL-Mook, and this is my very first fanfiction. I've been reading Naruto fanfiction for about a year and a half now, and I wanted to put in my own two cents. I know the first chapter is very short, but I know the direction i want this story to go in. With that said, any and all reviews I get would be greatly appreciated. They could be good or bad reviews, even some suggestions you would want in the future.

Thank you.
