I do not own Naruto this is a fan fiction only.
To those fans of Sakura Haruno this fiction will not be to your liking, so cordially look for another one and I hope you enjoy that story. You have been warned.
In the Hidden Leaf Village were many secrets but what can you expect from a ninja village. The biggest was that the granddaughter of the founders long believed to never had a child and having lost the one child she had, her brother and her once lover she was the last of the Senju and thus having no reason to stay she abandoned the village.
This of course was a lie in multiple ways, she did have a child with the then heir to the Hyuuga family, the child was not born dead and it was very much alive. During the attack by the nine tails fox another secret was created, Minato Namikaze the current Hokage was forced to seal the Fox inside the body of his own daughter, a daughter he had from a one night stand with a woman Named Yoshiono Haruno.
The child was named Sakura and she was the next jinchuriki of the nine tails much like his wife Kushina Uzumaki had been. The last wish of the Hokage was that his daughter would not suffer the dreaded life of a jinchuriki. That she be allowed to grow up with the Haruno family happy and safe from harm from those that hated the Fox.
The third Hokage was bound by his promise to actually say that Naruto the child of his own student Tsunade was the actual jinchuriki. This would allow the real jinchuriki to escape the awful life a jinchuriki usually lived and thus fulfilled Minato's final wish.
Naruto grew up in a local orphanage and there he lived a life that would make the most harden criminals cry. He was starved, beaten, stabbed, poisoned and even left wet out in freezing temperatures. All this was done till he was five years old and the head of the orphanage finally decided to kick him out cause she was tired of always failing to kill the demon child.
From there he began to scrounge food from garbage cans from behind restaurants and pick pieces of clothing and other things people threw away. The one constant in his life was that on every year he would be chased out of he village by a mob of people trying to kill him. The efforts of one dog masked ANBU was the only thing that kept them from succeeding.
The last secret was that one night when Naruto went outside the walls of Konoha to try and kill something to eat he was attacked by a large wolf that left him with several bite marks and scratches all over. The large wolf was not just any wolf either. He did not live Naruto alive out of pity or mercy. He was the last of his kind in the elemental nations and so the old Lycan was actually trying to have a child of his own.
The secret finally came to light on his seventh birthday, it turns out that unlike the other times this night was a night when the full moon shined all over the village.
As Naruto ran from the mob that tried to kill him he ran into a closed off section of an alley. The villagers were happy since here they would finally get to kill the demon that killed the fourth Hokage. It was then that Naruto looked up at the full moon alsmost like he was praying for someone to help.
That was when he felt an immense pain and dropped on the ground unable to move due to the painful transformation his body was going through. Where there was a small frightened child had been now a young Lycan was instead and this Lycan had no desire to show mercy and he jumped at the mob of attackers and with his claws he ripped them all apart.
When the ANBU finally showed up there was body parts all over the alley. Some even noted that some of the body parts had been torn apart by a strange claws, and even some mentioned that had bite marks almost as the same monster had killed the mob and eaten his fill of their bodies.
It was never found out but Naruto actually didn't have dinner that day, the people of Ichikaru actually told the Hokage as they found it rather strange for the boy to actually miss a free Ramen dinner.
The next morning he woke up feeling better than ever. The thing he didn't even notice was that the effects of years of malnutrition simply banished and even looked tougher if not a bit taller. The other thing that changes was his senses got a major boost by the looks of it. He could smell the flowers in the park a few blocks away.
From this day on the mobs would have to be careful around the so called demon child. It was maybe fate at work or God wanting to give him a chance to defend himself but as strange as it sounds every single birthday from them on had a full moon. I was as if Tsukoyomi was watching out for him.
You would think that after how the last angry mob was discovered by the ANBU that they would stop trying to murder Naruto. The thing about these villagers must be that they were completely stupid. The next year again their was a mob and thinking that Naruto would be easy to catch since he didn't have regular meals or a safe place to sleep.
The regular meals was true enough, he got really good at finding less rotten or bad food, but he had to be careful since the restaurants had gotten into the habit of putting ground glass into the meat they threw away. Naruto by the end of that year had gotten pretty good at hunting animals in the forest of death and so he didn't have to dig in garbage cans again.
The next thing he found was a cave that was hard for the villagers to reach, with the skins of the animals he ate he made himself a quite little cozy den. He had a comfortable bed to sleep in.
The next birthday came and once again they chased him all over the village. He kept asking to be left alone and to leave him in peace. The only replies they gave him was that they would enjoy peace once he was rotting in the grave where he should be. Naruto looked at the moon once again. He never seen such a beautiful light before.
The change happened and it was a lot less painful than before, but just as violent the outcome. The villagers became scared how the one they wanted to kill began attacking the mob with claws and fangs killing everyone in the mob. The ones that were somewhat smart tried to run away but they too were killed by the transformed Naruto.
He began eating the flesh from the bones of the dead and eating with gusto. He ate pieces of flesh from all the corpses till he had his fill and went towards the cave in the forest of death. He arrived licking his hands clean and falling asleep with a smile on his face. The warmth of his fur kept him comfortable through out the night.
ANBU found the bodies once again and they were getting more and more worried that again it happened precisely one year since the last incident. Kakashi was an ANBU Captain and had a contract with the Dog Clan. He summoned Paku his most trusted tracker and was shocked to hear from the dog that all he smelled was wolf and a lot of human blood. The people of Ichikaru went again to tell the Hokage that Naruto again missed his birthday Ramen dinner.
The next day a plan was made to catch the thing killing the villagers. Kakashi and his team were to find out what was eating the villagers and why? "Hokage is this an elimination mission or a capture?" Hiruzen told them that he wanted the creature brought in alive to find out if he or she was alone or had a pack helping.
The village was once again in morning and they of course blamed the deaths on the demon child since the people that died were the ones that would try to kill it the previous night. Kakashi decided to follow Naruto around the entire year and was shocked to see him kill and skin bears, and large animals like elks and eat them fresh.
The next birthday he was more shocked to what he learned. Once again the mob tried to kill Naruto and once again he asked if not begged them to leave him alone. Kakashi was about to jump down and help Naruto when he looked at the moon and he began changing form. The villagers screamed at him finally showing his true colors, but what fell next was as the villagers tried to kill him, Naruto killed them all and torn them limb from limb.
Kakashi did not expect the transformed Naruto to kill with such brutal efficiency and disregard to their lives. The next thing he saw was even more shocking. He saw Naruto begin to pick up pieces of the villagers and began eating the pieces. He knew exactly what had happened the previous two years.
A mob tried to kill Naruto and he in self defense killed them and ate as much as he could from the pieces of flesh from his attackers. It was too much for him to see the boy he considered his baby brother reduced to a beast eating the remains of the people that tried to kill him.
Kakashi jumped down and he walked towards Naruto. "Naruto it's me, I mean you no harm. Naruto why are you eating those people? Why did you kill them? You know they had families and people that they will be missed by them." Naruto smiled a wolfish grin and looked at the last pieces of flesh still on the floor.
He took off and Kakashi followed him to his den. When he woke up he was waiting for him to tell him the answer to the questions he asked him before, but did repeat them to make sure he listened. "I heard you the first time Kakashi, you don't need to shout you know. Why I killed them you ask? To keep them from killing me. Why I ate them you ask? Why should I not eat the food killed myself? Why should I consider their feelings when they ignore mine. "
Naruto activated his eyes and look through the heavy pelt that was the only thing blocking the entrance to his den." Kakashi you might want to come a little away from the entrance to my home. There are a few people outside and they will throw rocks into this place any second. "
Kakashi told him that people would have no reason to do that in the first place. Naruto told him to be away from the bear skin pelt for a reason and sure enough the stones began to be thrown and insults began to be yelled at his home. Kakashi could not believe it that children were screaming such foul insults without even having a reason to be screaming such foul things.
"Don't look so surprised Kakashi, this happens everyday at the same time. You could probably set your alarm clock by it. You wondered why I am not considerate of their lives? Well here is a good example of why I don't consider the lives of those that try to kill me. "
Kakashi left and headed to the office of the Third Hokage and asked to be able to speak with him." Sir, I know what has been eating the villagers and why it is happening. " Hirunzen didn't look that surprised to hear this. " The one eating the villagers is Naruto. The ones he has been eating are the mob that tried to kill him. He somehow has the ability to change into this rather frightening wolf hybrid that can attack like a wolf but a lot stronger."
Hirunzen told him he knew this too, he was actually watching the both of them since he found Naruto eating the remains of the people that attacked him. "I have a way to keep an eye on my ninja and since you were there I could hear and see everything you two talked about."
Hirunzen set down his pipe and looked at him. "What I am about to tell you is a secret, you must never let anyone else know this. Naruto is the son of Tsunade Senju and Hiashi Hyuuga. He clearly has the Byakugan and can activate it quite easily, so that means he has had a lot of practice using his family bloodline. "
" The real problem is that I had planned on entering Naruto in the academy eight years old. This means that next year he would have to be able to work and learn with other kids. Many of those kids will hate Naruto thanks to what their parents said about him. Tell me Kakashi do you think we can still get Naruto to retake his humanity? Or will he hate our people for all time?"
Kakashi then remembered what Kushina once told him, "Love will find the way. I think if we place him in the academy he might develop a few positive experiences with his classmates and maybe even find a special someone to love and that loves him in return."
Hirunzen looked at him and tried to have his smile not show on his face. "We can only hope so, Kakashi. We can only hope this works. I would hate to one day have to tell my student that because of our mistreatment of her son and the lie Danzo told her that her son turned into a feral beast."
