Prologue

The sound of feet hitting the ground could be heard as a large mob made its way through the village, hunting the illusive prey that they have been hunting for the past five years. For five years ago on this day the demonic entity known to them as the nine tailed fox had come and torn apart their village in a violent rampage the likes of which no one had ever seen in recent memory. If not for the Fourth Hokages actions that day many more lives would have been lost, even if his actions brought about his own demise as well as the beast he fought. For the Fourth had used the dead demon consuming seal to seal the fox demon away, but the price he had to pay his own life in return. On that same day a little blonde baby was born. when the people of this village found out that this baby was born on the same day as the fox's rampage and eventual death, they feared(being the highly superstitious people that they were) that the little blonde baby was the fox reincarnate and thus gave chase to destroy the fox in its weakened form.

Of course when one of the villagers finally found the baby, they hesitated(after all it looked like any other baby) but the hesitation only lasted a little while just long enough for the baby to turn over and reveal its whisker like birthmarks. The villager(who happened to be a nurse in the hospital the baby was in at the time) moved forward surgical scalpel poised to strike a killing blow on the sleeping infant. But just in time an anbu(one of the elite in the ninja ranks of the village) stopped the descent of the blade and quickly restrained the nurse, taking her away.

And that was the life the little baby had lived constantly fearing that the villagers would finally kill him, suffering numerus beatings and constant names being spat in his direction. Unable to make a single friend(for those that weren't picking on him or beating him up, were to scared of him or the punishments that would be given to them if they even so much as walked near him). And all this just got worse on his birthday, which is why we find the little boy being chased around the village by the ever growing mob that was on his heels. Today is October tenth, and the boy was Naruto Uzumaki.
