"It means that you..." Uzimaki Naruto could only listen in fear, waiting for Mizuki to go on. "Are the nine-tails demon...that killed Iruka's parents and destroyed the village."

Ch. 1---...And That's How He Snapped

He couldn't believe it. No, that was a lie. He refused to believe it. But that doesn't mean he didn't know it was true. All his life, why the parents took his playmates away, why people stayed far away from him, refused to let him buy from their stores, (or were more or less disgruntled at his appearance). He, Uzimaki Naruto, was a demon.

"You were sealed up by the Hokage you admire and-" Somewhere far aware, he could hear a loud protest to this truth. He ignored it. "YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO BY EVERYONE!" Naruto could only listen, his mind too shocked, and his body too numbed, to do anything to stop him.

"Didn't you find it odd how everyone hated you? IRUKA IS THE SAME! HE ACTUALLY HATES YOU!" And in this moment, when he couldn't take it anymore, he retreated into his mind, and found the thing that had shaped his life so...misshapenly. And he couldn't have done anything at that moment better, than he did then.

He didn't know how he got there, but here he was, in front of a cage. A cage with a seal on it, and a very indifferent being inside of it.

"Hey, kid, do me a favor. Take off the seal to my cage, and I will give you more power than you can imagine!"

The boy nodded slowly, and placed his hand upon the seal...and ripped it off. And the fox demon standing before him laughed, just before loosing itself from it's cage.

'Damnit, damnit, DAMNIT!' Screamed a voice in Naruto's mind, and all of his anger, hate, bitterness, strife, and all the other of the 7 circles of hell Naruto had already been in, focused themselves within his body. He had never felt so...good! So powerful! So HELLBENT ON DESTROYING THIS MAN!

Words flashed upon his ears liken to water on a hot skillet. Taunts of "NOBODY WILL NEVER ACCEPT YOU!" and "THAT SCROLL WAS USED TO SEAL YOU UP!"

But just before he could let all of his rage loose, fate would have it, that Iruka, the man that Mizuki had proclaimed as a hater of the Kyuubi vessel...saved the vessel's life.

"Why?" Iruka thought for a moment. Why, a question that had so much wonder in it, and yet so much confusion. "My..." Iruka started, "My parents...after they died...there was no one to compliment me...or acknowledge me...I was so sad...I would always act like an idiot to get peoples attention, since I wasn't able to do well in things like school and get attention that way. It was better than nothing, so I kept acting like an idiot. It was so painful..." Iruka lamented, tears falling from his face, "Yeah, Naruto, you must have been in a lot of pain too. I'm sorry Naruto, if I had done a better job, you wouldn't have had to feel like this."

Naruto had never been so moved in his life. Now it was payback time, against a lier, a thief, and someone who had just hurt his would-be father. He got up, acting as if to run, making a hand seal on the way.

"Hehehe, sorry, but-" He was cut off as over a thousand of clones manifested themselves within the glade. Kunais raised, pure unadulterated hatred glowing in their eyes, the clones attacked.

"Did you have to throw dozens of kunai at his lower regions?" Iruka questioned. "Yes. Yes I did. And I even did him a FAVOR, 'cuz what kinda man treats you like a friend, and then betrays you?" Naruto answered simply.

'Good point. Since when did he know what he was talking about?' Then Iruka remembered something. "Oh, yeah, Naruto," Naruto turned to his sensei, "I want to give you something. Close your eyes..." A few minutes of darkness passed, and then Naruto was told to open his eyes.

"A HEADBAND! YOU ROCK IRUKA SENSEI!" "Yeah, let's go out for some ramen!" "AWESOME!"
